The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 91: Christine Craig (Part 2)

“He didn’t do it alone. He had a partner, who claimed to be a self-proclaimed prophet…”

“A prophet? What do you mean by that?”

As if prompted for more details, Christine waved her hand dismissively.

“I can’t remember his name, but his partner says he’s a self-proclaimed prophet class. He said he can see the future. He gave me some information about the 7th round, but I’m not sure if it’s reliable. It all sounds like nonsense.”

“He had a friend like that? A prophet…”

Nathan wore a contemplative expression.

“In these tumultuous times, there’s nothing more enticing than the ability to foresee the future. How about getting closer to this friend?”

“I doubt it. Even if he predicts the future, there’s no guarantee he’s right. He just casually mentioned the danger in the 11th round, but it’s all vague predictions.”

“I’d like to meet this so-called prophet.”

“You don’t need to. There’s no way his prophecies will come true.”

“Could it be that Mr. Ma was lying to you?”

“I don’t think he so, he looked like he believed him. Lucky guess, perhaps? Making vague prophecies like that makes it easy for anyone to get it right.”

“Well then, do you not believe in prophecies?”

“I don’t. There’s no reason for me to be in danger.”

Christine’s rune was the [Rune of Life]. It allowed her to gain experience points and bonus stats as she healed injured people or saved lives. Thanks to this ability, Christine had been helping people from an early level, allowing her to level up rapidly.

Furthermore, because players who had come to recognize the value of a Priest gathered around her, there was hardly any danger.

It was a situation where dozens of so-called “meat shields” had gathered around her.

“Don’t let your guard down. Isn’t it possible that someone among the crowd following you might betray you?”

“Don’t worry. Don’t forget that I’m the zone representative.”

With her dominion, no one dared to defy her commands.

“Still, with that dominion, you could become a target at any time.”

“But there are more people who want to protect and stay with me than those who might betray. Don’t worry about my safety.”

“Alright, if you say so. But always be prepared for unexpected situations.”

“Yes, Father.”

As Christine left the room, Nathan called Jeffrey, who had been waiting in front of the door.

“Jeffrey.”

“Yes, Pastor.”

“My daughter’s fiancé’s business partner claims to be a prophet. He’s been saying unnecessary things about my daughter’s life being in danger. Investigate whether he’s telling the truth.”

“In the name of Jesus Christ, I will carry out your command.”

As Jeffrey left, Nathan’s eyes narrowed.

“Whoever this guy is, he’s been needlessly unsettling my daughter with his empty words.”

It was essential to understand his intentions.

“What if the prophecy turns out to be false?”

He would make sure that guy tastes hell sooner or later.

After meeting Christine, Ryu Min had also given Russell the same information about the 7th round.

“What? I just need to remember this? Don’t be tempted?”

“Don’t be deceived by temptation.”

Ryu Min recalled his encounter with the chairman and his fiancé at that time and couldn’t help but smile.

“Everyone’s reaction is remarkably consistent.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to share information about the 7th round; he simply believed that remembering only those words was enough.

“There’s no need to say more or reveal more. If I do, it could ruin the 7th round.”

As long as they remember not to be tempted, they should easily pass the 7th round.

“A bit early, but I also shared information with Christine about how she’ll be in danger in the 11th round.”

He had thrown the bait, and all that remained was for them to take it.

Of course, it wasn’t Christine’s fiancé who would save her; it was Black Scythe.

The reason he hadn’t revealed who would save her was that if he mentioned that the Black Scythe would save her, it would undoubtedly make her fiancé, jealous.

Therefore, it was best to hide it for now so as not to ruin the relationship between Ma Kyung-rok and Black Scythe.

Once a knot was severed, it was difficult to tie it again.

“To use Ma Kyung-rok, it’s better to maintain a good relationship as much as possible.”

Afterward, Ryu Min disappeared for a while.

Other than shopping and crafting magic stones by looking at items, he didn’t do much at home.

[“Created a ‘Low-Grade Green Mana Stone.'”]

[Combination Successful!]

[Hermes’s Feather adds the option ‘Agility +4.’]

“I’ve infused low-grade mana stones into all my gear.”

Moving up from the low-grade tier, the next step was the intermediate. The fusion process remained consistent—simply combining two low-grade stones.

The procedure for crafting high-grade mana stones followed the same pattern.

“Even though there’s only one low-grade mana stone left for each color, it’s still beneficial to have them.”

Labeling them as ‘low-grade’ didn’t render them useless. As long as you have a lot of magic stones, you can upgrade them to intermediate or advanced level by combining them as many times as you like.

“In just a few days, Player Place will throw open its doors. As anticipated, a lot of people will flock in, offering a variety of fusion materials, including magic stones.”

This presented an opportunity to sweep up the magic stones en masse, facilitating their progression into high-grade, and, perhaps, even the esteemed top-grade magic stones.

“Furthermore, I must secure the essential ingredients for crafting unique items tailored to my needs.”

The avenue to obtain unique items was diverse, such as killing boss-level monsters or receiving quest rewards.

“Among the options, fusion remains the most straightforward.”

Having the fusion formula firmly engraved into his memory, Ryu Min faced no complexity in executing it.

“However, the conundrum lies in the availability of raw materials.”

Upon the impending debut of Player Place, this predicament was set to find a resolution.

“Naturally, its success hinges on people making use of it.”

Notably, Ma Kyung-rok had delegated responsibility for garnering users to an advertising agency.

“They claim to have secretly paid journalists to generate articles, but where are they…?”

Ryu Min entered “Player Place” into his internet search bar, and an array of articles promptly manifested.

[The First Player Market, Launching on June 11!]

[A market will be created for players? The world’s first social market is scheduled to open.]

[Unwanted items can be directly listed and traded! Player Place’s grand opening is imminent.]

Numerous articles chronicled the extent of their engagement with journalists.

Such efforts had, to all appearances, successfully culminated in extensive promotion.

“Now, it’s time to entrust the rest to fate.”

Nonetheless, prior to this, one final opportunity for promotion beckoned.

Since it was Sunday, Ryu Min was dressed for going out.

“I’ll be stepping out for a moment.”

“Sure thing, hyung.”

After going to a place without CCTV, I put on the feather bristles and cast the skill.

‘Invisibility.’

Swish!

Ryu Min’s form seamlessly melded into the surroundings, vanishing instantaneously.
