The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 112: Hunting Down The Traitors (Part 1)

Unlike the traitor group, the regular group shares experience points and gold through party hunting.

‘Excluding the traitors, there are 201 people, so it will be divided by 201.’

You can tell the experience points they receive are even less than a mouse’s tail, even without doing the math.

‘Well, if a player dies in the middle, the rest will get a larger share, but…’

These orcs are a walk in the park, so there’s hardly any danger.

Anyway, if we divide the 4,600 monsters that come out during the raid by 201?

‘It means you’re getting experience equivalent to catching 20 on your own.’

That indicates that the experience gained isn’t particularly substantial.

Even if you go through all the 30 waves until we reach our destination, you’ll end up catching 600 at most.

‘But when we reach our destination, we’ll receive a generous amount of experience points. Quite a lot, actually.’

The key to the escort quest lies in the experience points reward at the end.

‘In other words, it doubles the experience points you get from escorting.’

In essence, it’s an additional 1,200 experience points.

There was a reason why Ryumin said in the past that there would be players who reach level 40.

‘Of course, achieving that would require making a mark at the guild of the humans.’

Wasn’t An Sang-cheol’s ambition to reach level 40 the reason he chose the Human Guild?

With An Sang-cheol currently at level 34, it should be well within reach.

‘Anyway, at this rate, I’ll easily surpass level 60.’

Even though he had only faced one wave, Ryu Min had already reached level 55.

That’s an increase of one level per wave.

‘If we manage to fend off the remaining 29 waves of attacks, I’ll be over level 60.’

He was confident because Ryu Min had an experience points buff.

A 3x bonus for a limited time in the 8th round and a 1.5x bonus because of his title.

Combined, it amounts to a 4.5x boost, leaving him no choice but to forge ahead of the others.

‘Besides, I’m not even in a party.’

Since he was in a traitor group where soloing was possible, the experience points and gold he obtained for the 463 orcs he caught this time came in full.

‘Other traitors probably didn’t catch as much as I did’

Even if you catch a lot on your own, it wouldn’t surpass 50, would it?

No matter how easy orcs are to deal with, you can’t catch more than that in one blow.

‘Still, unless you’re a fool, the traitors will calculate their profits and losses too.’

Unless they’re fools, they would have realized that the experience points from soloing are plentiful.

‘It would be a shame to complete the quest early.’

Once you stop one of the guilds and complete the quest, no more experience points will come in.

‘You’ll want to raise your level against these weak monsters.’

Thinking of that, a Dwarf shouted.

“Let’s set off again now!”

The carriage moved.

Thud, thud, thud.

But that was short-lived.

After only 10 minutes, the 2nd wave began.

“These crazy bastards! They’re already showing up?”

“We haven’t even had a break.”

Players complained but continued to slay orcs for experience points.

However, some players couldn’t help but lose their motivation, and the reason was different.

Ryu Min’s overwhelming skill.

With every swing of his scythe, he cleaved through four at a time, and anyone would feel disheartened by that.

It was even more so because of his higher level and Min Juri’s buff.

“Wow… Look at how many Black Scythe is killing with one swing while I can only kill one!”

“Ugh, I’m really feeling sad.”

“If he’s killing that much, do we really have to do anything?”

“Right? Experience points come in even if we just stay still.”

“Should I take the Black Scythe Bus too?”

(T/N: A Bus in video games is when a higher-level player helps a newbie.)

Some quietly retreated with that thought.

Even though they could catch more, they gave up because it was easier.

When Ryu Min, who was on the hunt, saw that, he smirked.

‘In other people’s eyes, I must look like a party member. That’s why they think we better accept the bus.’

People misconstrued that Ryu Min was earning them experience points while hunting.

‘But no matter how you think about it you can’t just play around. Rankings are determined by contribution.’

‘In this round, the ranking method is all about your overall contribution.’

Simply sticking to escort duty won’t cut it; you’ve got to delve into monster hunting to make a real mark.

So, lounging around lazily might turn out to be a deadly mistake.

Seo Arin and Min Juri were well aware of this, and they were putting their all into the hunt.

‘Min Juri’s an exception, though. She’ll contribute enough without even breaking a sweat.’

Before the hunt began, Min Juri had taken the time to approach each player individually.

Her motive was simple:

She wanted to enhance her contributions by bestowing buffs.

“Hello, I’m a Buffer. How about trying out one of my buffs?”

“Buff? What’s that?”

Min Juri played the role of a benevolent preacher, offering buffs to players without charge.

To onlookers, it might have seemed like she was peddling something, but the response she received was nothing short of explosive.

“Wow, my stats just shot up by 60%?”

“Seriously?!”

“Is that really true? Can I have one too?”

“Where can I get it? This ‘buff’ thing. I want one!”

“Right here! Anyone who hasn’t gotten a buff yet?”

“Yes, right here!”

It took her about 20 minutes to finally buff every player.
