The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 96: Anger (Part 2)

Before the start of the 7th round, Ryu Min and Min Juri sat down for a meal.

“Isn’t the food here at this Korean restaurant delicious?”

“Yeah, it’s the best I’ve had!”

“I’m glad you like it. Let’s come here often.”

“Often?”

There wasn’t any deeper meaning to Ryu Min’s words, but Min Juri seemed to interpret them differently, contemplating their significance.

Ryu Min quickly clarified, “Not often, just occasionally.”

“Oh, I see. I see…”

Min Juri appeared somewhat disappointed.

“By the way, Min, you’ve seemed busy lately, haven’t you? Every time we talk, you say we’ll meet later.”

“Oh, there’s been some stuff.”

Ryu Min brushed it off casually. He indeed had been busy, attending Heaven Café meetings every weekend and Player Place meetings as the top executive. Additionally, he had to be vigilant about being tailed.

Ryu Min knew that even at this moment, there were eyes watching him. He had already identified the person.

‘Jeffrey Bishop, a level 28 assassin. And the mastermind behind it all is Nathan Watson, Christine’s father.’

At first, Ryu Min didn’t realize he was being followed. But he eventually figured it out using his Perception skill, as someone had been tracking him for several days.

‘However, they didn’t show themselves. That means…’

They had the Invisibility skill. There was no other explanation.

‘The question is, why are they tailing me?’

It wasn’t too difficult to figure that out. In fact, tailing the tailer was the way to go.

‘I don’t think they’ve learned the Perception skill. If they had, I wouldn’t have been able to follow him.’

If he had known that Invisibility can be detected by the Perception skill, he would have followed from a distance in the first place.

Not so closely and openly as he’s doing right now.

It was information that could be known if he thought about it a little.

With that in mind, Ryu Min followed the trailer in reverse and waited for the invisibility to be lifted.

‘And I found out. The person tailing me is a foreigner, and this was orchestrated by Christine’s father, Nathan Watson.’

He could also discern their intentions by reading their thoughts. It wasn’t for assassination or some other grand purpose, but simply for information gathering.

‘Christine must have told her father about me. That’s why Nathan felt uncomfortable.’

He understood. Imagine if someone predicted that your daughter would die in the 11th round.

Even Ryu Min, like anyone else, would want to confirm the truth by visiting the fortune teller.

‘Well, unless they reveal their purpose, there’s no reason to confront them. Just let them keep tailing you. In their eyes, you’ll appear as an ordinary executive, shuttling between your company and home.’

Despite having weekend commitments to Heaven Café meetings, he was confident he wouldn’t be exposed as long as he knew about the tailing.

“But, Min, about the 7th round information you told me last time.”

“What about it?”

“Is that all? I just need to remember these words?”

“Yeah. Just remember that.”

From Ma Kyungrok to An Sangcheol, Seo Arin, Russell, Christine, and Min Juri, Ryu Min shared the same information with all of them.

All you needed to know about the 7th round was that one thing.

“Sharing more information than that would be unnecessary.”

You might wonder why he doesn’t reveal the quests, but it can’t be helped.

‘If I reveal the quest, they’ll be eliminated from the round.’

Elimination meant extinction.

‘It’s better to save as many people as possible. I need at least five people to make it to the final round.’

Of course, only those worth saving should be saved.

“Juri.”

“Yeah?”

“Let’s survive until the final round.”

It was an unexpected statement, but Min Juri shyly responded with a smile.

“Yeah…”

Midnight on July 1, 2022.

The 7th round had begun.

The players summoned to the meadow were bustling around.

There were fewer people summoned than expected.

[Hello, everyone! Have you been well for the past month?]

Priscilla spoke with a cheerful smile, but the players remained silent.

In a game where people died one after another every round, there was no way anyone would feel favorably toward an angel.

[There are 434 survivors this time, right? As you can see, there are too few humans, so the game won’t work, right? That’s why we’re going to proceed with area integration again. Right now.]

As soon as the angel’s words ended, the ground shook.

Drrrrrrrrr-

The process of integrating ten areas was still fascinating to watch.

It was like the process of fitting together puzzle pieces with perfect precision.

Perhaps that’s why the players didn’t react with surprise but rather looked at it with fascination.

Seeing it once before made it easier to adapt.

[We’ve integrated 10 areas. The total number of people is 4,922, and the new area’s name is C2-ESKA003. As you can see, you’re all Koreans, so there’s no need to be on guard.]

The players nodded in agreement with the friendly explanation, albeit briefly.

[Now, before we start the round, we need to choose area representatives, right?]

Once again, the representatives of the areas, who realized that they had to kill each other, frowned.

Except for Ryu Min, of course.

‘Of course, there’s a representative selection match this time.’

Every time the areas were integrated, it felt like an annual event.

‘This time, I have to become the area representative for sure.’

Actually, Ryu Min even wanted to be an area representative, but he couldn’t miss it this time.

The reward was tremendous.

‘It allows you to use the authority of the area representative in the real world.’
