Chapter 532

Meanwhile.

Seong Jihan had entered the BattleNet connector room for half-elves.

Unlike the standard ones, this connector was made of wood.

There were a total of 10 half-elf connectors in the Daegi Guild.

"So this is the connector for half-elves."

Half-elves received much higher correction values than human players through these wooden connectors, right?

Seong Jihan examined it closely.

It didn't look much different from the standard connection device on the outside.

'I guess I'll have to see the difference.'

As Seong Jihan, he rarely used connectors since he didn't need the pain suppression function, but,

As 'Kim Jihun' the half-elf, he had to connect here to receive in-game corrections.

As he was looking at an empty connector,

"Ah. The male type is this way!"

Lee Hayeon, who had gone further inside, beckoned him over.

He saw a wooden connector with a blue tinge, different from before.

"The owner of this connector has finally appeared..."

"I remember barely stopping you from trying to get a refund while drinking, complaining about when a male half-elf would ever come."

"Hey, hey! When did I ever!"

Lee Hayeon, startled by Lim Gayeong's words, quickly opened the connector door.

"Come on, Jihun. Get in and try it."

"Yes, I'll use it well."

The connector looked like a luxury car's driver's seat from the outside.

As Kim Jihun sat inside and the door closed,

Whirrrr...!

Plant stems started sprouting from all around.

'What's this in the connector...'

As Seong Jihan watched this quietly,

The sprouted stems began to wrap around his body.

[This is a player managed by the administrator.]

[Special correction values will be applied.]

Wriggle. Wriggle.

As soon as the message about corrections being applied appeared,

The stems wrapping his body began to swell all at once.

Then, as he felt life energy entering his body,

[Physical ability stats increase by 2 times.]

Physical abilities.

A message appeared saying Kim Jihun's strength, agility, and stamina stats had doubled.

'Starting with a 2x buff, huh.'

Becoming a male half-elf hadn't changed the stat numbers themselves, except for the addition of Blue,

But even with the same numbers, he could draw out much higher efficiency than when he was human.

And now it had increased by 2 times on top of that.

'So I'm starting with full buffs from the beginning.'

This might make any mission too easy.

Seong Jihan thought this as he waited for the game to start.

After waiting for a while,

[You are summoned to the survival map, 'Junkyard.']

'Junkyard?'

As Kim Jihun raised an eyebrow at the map name,

Flash...!

His body was summoned into the game map.

* * *

Survival map, Junkyard.

This map was newly added after humanity entered the World Tree Alliance's colony.

'Despite the name, it's quite clean.'

Contrary to the dirty-sounding name,

The 'Junkyard' was just a desolate expanse of earth-colored wasteland.

Still, it probably wouldn't stay this way.

As Seong Jihan was looking around, thinking this,

[Class is 'Blue Knight'.]

[A blue sword will form automatically.]

Swish...

A blue light sword formed in his right hand.

The light sword that appeared without Seong Jihan doing anything,

'This looks a bit like Dongbang Sak's Taiji Sword.'

It was very similar in shape to the light sword Dongbangsak had plunged into the seabed in his final moments.

[The duration of the blue sword is proportional to the Blue stat value.]

[You can immediately end the game when the blue sword is recalled. No penalty will be given for ending at this time.]

So, you were given the authority to end the game when the blue sword disappeared.

It was certainly different from when he was human.

Seong Jihan thought this as he looked at the blue sword.

'Its performance as a sword doesn't seem bad. Maybe SS-rank?'

It couldn't compare to the original Taiji Sword, but,

Still, the blue sword was undoubtedly a good performance for being created by a level 2.

'The Blue stat is currently 11.'

During the detailed examination, Blue had increased by 1 in 'Kim Jihun's' body.

Compatibility increased by 2%, so the Blue stat value and compatibility followed a 2:1 ratio.

The sword wouldn't last long, with a stat value of only 11.

He would need to do something before the sword disappears.

'There's no one on the map now, but since it's survival, something should appear.'

Survival map.

The basic premise of this game type was to summon players and make them fight each other.

Just like the old Colosseum.

In this junkyard, the essence of the map would be to fight other players in the end.

Seong Jihan looked around and slowly started walking.

After he had taken a few steps,

Zing...

[This is a player managed by the administrator.]

[BattleTube will be automatically executed.]

[Player 'Kim Jihun's' BattleTube channel is created and assigned to the 'Male Half-Elf' category.]

BattleTube turned on by itself without him intending to.

-Oh, it's really Kim Jihun lolol

-I thought he was just making excuses when he said he was going to play games at the press conference earlier, lol

-A player with over 20% compatibility playing BattleNet games...

-Male half-elves level up just by sleeping. Why is he gaming?

-Still, you grow faster if you play games.

And as soon as BattleTube turned on, the chat window started scrolling up.

Even though the BattleTube channel had just been created,

People were flooding in as if they knew somehow.

'So male half-elves even get channels created at will.'

They get a lot, but there are many restrictions, too.

As he was thinking this,

-But the map is Junkyard...

-Why such a problematic map from the start;

-It's rare for male half-elves to play games... He might never turn it on again;

-They should have assigned a better map ??

People were lamenting why he had gotten the Junkyard map just from seeing the landscape.

"Is the Junkyard not a good map?"

At Kim Jihun's question,

-There's nothing here now... but later, chimeras will be randomly summoned everywhere

-It's a map where luck is most important, as you never know what will drop.

-You should quickly find and execute human players.

-You should have started on a map with only humans...

The chat mostly gave tips that powerful chimeras would soon appear, so he should quickly find humans.

'Hmm. Chimeras, huh.'

He guessed the map was called Junkyard because it was for discarding chimeras.

But why were they telling him to find humans so urgently?

As Seong Jihan was looking at the chat,

Whoosh...

The light of the blue sword started to dim slightly.

'I guess it can't be maintained for long with a stat of 11.'

He should kill some mobs before the sword disappears.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan started running in earnest.

Since he couldn't show martial arts skills with Kim Jihun's body,

[Translator - Asura]

[Proofreader - Gun]

It was just running at full speed without any special techniques, but,

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Kim Jihun's sprint was so fast it didn't look like a level 2 player.

-Wow, he's incredibly fast...

-As expected of a half-elf.

-But he seems even faster than other half-elves?

-Male half-elves get good buffs. They're managed better.

I've seen American First guys run too, but Kim Jihun is faster.

-Even if he's the first player to exceed 20% in Korea, it's too early for national pride...

-No, seriously, there's a clear difference! Compare them, damn it;

Viewers started evaluating Kim Jihun's full-speed run.

Even though male half-elves don't play games much,

There were some videos on BattleTube, so people were surprised to see Kim Jihun's speed.

'This won't do.'

Unlike Seong Jihan,

Kim Jihun's body didn't have the Martial God title or Infinite Annihilation God applied.

However, because the controller knew how to move the body efficiently, Kim Jihun was outputting excessive power.

'I need to gradually reduce the speed and use only about half of the strength I have.'

As Seong Jihan adjusted Kim Jihun's body like this, after running for about 5 minutes,

Flash...!

Suddenly, an intense light flashed on the desolate land.

Then,

-Oh, is it a player summon?

-Mr. Kim Jihun, you should just wait now.

-Yeah, stop now and prepare for execution.

-Whoever it is, they're lucky. Meeting a male half-elf here lol

-For real lol. I got the Junkyard map, but fortunately got executed.

'Getting executed is lucky?'

Maybe he should have researched more thoroughly how male half-elves play games.

Seong Jihan, who had only heard that they level up by sleeping, was puzzled by the viewers' incomprehensible comments, but he waited as they said for now.

Then,

"Ah... I'm screwed. Why the Junkyard, seriously."

A warrior wearing armor jumped out of the light,

And immediately started grumbling.

"Sigh... I'm going to lose levels..."

As he was muttering to himself about how a silver rank could defeat chimeras,

"Oh, oh?"

He finally seemed to notice Kim Jihun's presence and opened his eyes wide.

"Are, are you perhaps... a male half-elf?"

"Yes."

"Wow!! I'm saved!!"

When Kim Jihun nodded, the warrior jumped up and down with joy.

"I, I, I'll be executed!"

He said happily with a brightened face that he'd gladly die.

-He's so happy lol

-It's understandable since he avoided leveling down lol

-A silver rank probably couldn't even kill the weakest chimera?

-It's better to die without penalty than that.

'So there's no penalty for dying to a male half-elf.'

The BattleNet game system has completely degenerated.

He couldn't distort the game this extensively when he was the Blue Administrator.

Was there such a big difference in authority between temporary and full-time administrators?

'Well, I guess I should kill him since he wants to die so badly.'

It was a survival map where people kill or get killed anyway.

There was no need to stop the opponent if he volunteered to die.

Seong Jihan stared at him for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"Alright. I'll execute you."

"Thank you!"

"But is there a specific way to execute? This is my first time."

"Ah... Just stab me with that sword! Humans are instantly executed when stabbed by the blue sword!"

He didn't know the blue sword had such a function.

Seong Jihan nodded and raised the blue sword, moving it towards the warrior's body.

Shink!

And the blue sword he had evaluated as SS-rank,

Easily pierced through the warrior's armor and his body.

Then, a message appeared before his eyes.

[Target's race is human.]

[Blue sword's passive skill, 'Execution-Human,' activates.]

With the activation of the 'Execution-Human' skill,

The warrior's body quickly began to lose vitality.

"Ooh...! Dying to a blue sword! Achievement unlocked...!"

Of course, the opponent was rejoicing about unlocking an achievement even while dying, but

'The blue sword had such a skill...'

Kim Jihun's eyes, who had just stabbed him with the sword, sank deeply.

A passive skill for executing humans...

What the hell was this?

[Level increases by 8.]

At that moment,

A level-up message appeared as the opponent died.
