The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 92: The Opening Ceremony (1)

Ryu Min, veiled in disguise, made his way to the one-room apartment once occupied by Lostyak. Inside, the setup included video chat equipment, and there was no need for him to be discreet, making it his regular Sunday haunt.

‘Now, as I put on the assassin’s mask and transform…’

Ryu Min’s appearance underwent a mesmerizing shift, and he turned into a flawless replica of Lostyak, right down to the pale complexion, rendering his previous form unrecognizable.

“[Lostyak has joined the chat room.]”

He logged into the channel where they convened their regular meetings, but it appeared he was early, as no one else had arrived yet. They seemed to be running a tad late.

During the slightly tedious wait, Yamti logged in.

– Welcome, Yamti.

– Lostyak, you’re here early, huh?

– I didn’t have much else to do, hehe.

His voice and even his manner of speaking mirrored Lostyak’s – an uncanny resemblance.

“I’ve already deciphered the tone Lostyak, Yamti will never notice a thing.

Or so he thought.

However, her gaze seemed to wander elsewhere, as if her interest had waned.

“[The Chairman has entered the chat room.]”

– Oh, Chairman, you’re here?

– Hello, Chairman.

– Greetings, everyone.

Even as the chairman responded, he wore a bittersweet smile on his face, considering there were only two executives left.

“Let’s kick off the meeting. We had decided to choose our executives last time, right? Lostyak?”

– Yes.

– Did we come across any promising candidates among the applicants?

Ryu Min opened the statistical data on his desktop, which wasn’t a complex task, given that all the necessary data and programs were already set up on Lostyak’s computer.

– Currently, we’ve shortlisted 30 candidates, ranked by their level and the zone they excel in.

– No Black Sycthe members among them, I hope?

– You’re correct. If there were, I would have reported it immediately.

– What about other Named members?

– There aren’t any. I checked, but none of the applicants used the nicknames “Heavenly Demon” or “Idiot Fools.”

– Well, in that case, we’ll have to pick executives from those 30 candidates.

Although there were no Named members akin to Black Sycthe among the applicants, the selected candidates still fell within the upper echelons.

– Yamti, you’ll be conducting the interviews. Select five executives from those who pass the assassination test.

– Certainly, Chairman.

– Now, onto the next agenda. There’s a member of the National Assembly who’s been criticizing players recently.

– Oh, I’ve seen that news. It’s Lee Seong-hyun, the National Assembly member, right?

– We’ll have to discuss what to do with him when we finalize the executives. He’s a legal professional trying to wield the law against our players.

‘Even though he’s not a player himself, he speaks as if he were one.’

Ryu Min chuckled but didn’t let it show outwardly.josei

The meeting proceeded expeditiously from there.

Once all the necessary matters were resolved, Ryu Min seized the opportunity to suggest indirectly.

– Have any of you seen the news?

– What news?

– There’s news about a player-exclusive market opening up. It’s set to launch next week.

– Oh, I’ve heard about that. I checked out the temporary website that’s already open, and it seems promising.

– Really? When it launches, I plan to list some items. I have a lot of useless stuff in my inventory…

– I should do that too.

Ryu Min and Yamti spoke with excitement.

The only one who didn’t respond was the chairman, the sole non-player among them.

Ryu Min glanced at him and spoke.

– Chairman, I have a great idea.

– What is it, Lostyak?

– How about actively encouraging players to use the Player’s Place, the open market, as an announcement?

– Why would we do that?

– You might not know, but the number of café members has been dwindling lately. We have over ten thousand members, but the rate of new posts is low. In times like these, if we inform them about the existence of an open market where they can trade items…

– It could breathe new life into the café.

– Exactly! As expected of our Chairman! Always on point!

He playfully teased the chairman, who then pondered the proposal seriously.

– Well, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

The chairman agreed.

– Let’s go with Lostyak’s suggestion.

As desired, Player Haven Café is now involved in promoting the site.

– Thank you, Chairman.

No one noticed, but a subtle smile crept onto the corner of Ryu Min’s lips.
