The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 109: The Guild Selection (2)

Lower monster levels mean lower experience points.

On the flip side, higher difficulty zones offered tougher challenges and higher XP rewards.

So, its a choice between low risk and low reward, or high risk and high reward.

I know Dwarves are low difficulty, but if I tackle a place thats too easy, my level wont increase much. Then what if the gap between Black Scythe and me widens? I

Ryu Min could sense her concerns.

Unnecessary worries

Even with a low level, Bless provided a substantial buff.

Ryu Mins hope was for her to survive as long as possible.

Democracy.

Yes?

Why are you so deep in thought?

Oh, its nothing.

I might not know whats on your mind, but remember this: Greed can lead to trouble. Try to stay alive for as long as possible. Its a path that benefits you, me, and everyone else around us.

Min Juri was taken aback.

It felt like he had spoken as if he had her situation in mind.

Can he actually read peoples minds?

She wondered, but Ryu Min feigned ignorance and turned away.

Maybe this time, Ill take the easier route.

When he delved into Min Juris thoughts, it seemed she had settled on the Dwarf guild.

Thank goodness.

If I had known, I would have strongly recommended going for the Dwarf guild.

While the choice was free, Ryu Min had been more anxious about it than he should have been.

Just in case Min Juri might be in danger.

No, theres no way that would happen. She can clear rounds like this without my intervention, right?

Heo Taeseok was also pondering, but in the end, it seemed he had decided on the Elf guild.

Ma Kyungrok, An Sang-cheol, Seo Arin, Russell, Christine, and the others will decide for themselves.

Some would aim for easier places, while others would be greedy and go for the Human guild.

Anyway, my prophecy should be helpful. Ive told them all about the advantages and how to deal with monsters for each guild.

However, there was one thing he hadnt mentioned: sub-quests.

He had avoided discussing them.

Of course, there was a reason for that.

Theres no point in finding out about sub-quests anyway.

A while later, after 10 minutes, a message appeared in everyones view.

[Guild Selection Begins.]

[Please touch the guild you want to escort.]

1. Human Guild

2. Elf Guild

3. Dwarf Guild

Although they had different levels of difficulty in order, those who didnt know hesitated cautiously.

Oh, its not like its up to us, right?

Whatever happens, happens!

Im going for number 1 since its what I want!

Lets see how the Elves look, number 2!

As soon as they chose their Guild, the players disappeared as if they had been teleported somewhere.

Black Scythe, where are you headed?

Well

Im going for the Dwarf Guild, want to come with me?

Ryu Min shook his head at Min Juris suggestion.

Never mind. You go first.

Hmm, alright.

Although she knew about the difficulty levels, Min Juri kept her words to herself.

She didnt want to endanger Ryu Min by revealing the prophecy.

Black Scythe will probably choose on his own anyway.

Before Min Juri made her selection, she bid farewell.

Black Scythe, I dont know where youll choose, but I hope you have a good outcome. We might not see each other again, so Ill cast a buff and leave!

Min Juris buff enveloped Ryu Min.

A smile crept onto Ryu Mins lips.

You do have a sense of timing.

Then Ill really be going!

After Min Juri disappeared following her guild selection, Heo Taeseok also said his farewell.

Um, Black Scythe. Ill go ahead as well.

Sure, go ahead.

When Heo Taeseok chose number 2, he disappeared.

Most people had moved on, but Ryu Min still hadnt made a selection.

It appeared as if he was contemplating, but he had already made up his mind.

My choice is

Ryu Min clenched his fist, revealing his unwavering determination.

To choose nothing.

At first glance, there seemed to be three choices, but in reality, there was one more.

Choosing nothing.

Ryu Min hadnt known this at first.

I thought I had to choose one of the three without hesitation and picked number 1.

As he explored various strategies from numbers 1, 2, and 3, Ryu Min began to question the sub-quest.

It was because the traitors were the same every time.

Whats going on? Wasnt the traitor randomly chosen among the guild?

While he pondered this question, Ryu Min made a mistake and missed his guild selection.

That was when he realized it.

Not choosing anything is the best option.

There appeared to be no time limit, but there was one.

Exactly nine minutes passed, and then an additional message appeared.

[1 minute left until your remaining choice.]

[Not making a choice may result in penalties!]

The message urging him to make a choice appeared, but Ryu Min knew better.

That not making a choice was the greatest benefit.

[10 seconds left until your choice. Hurry!]

[9 seconds left, theres no time!]

[1 second left. Its really over now!]

[You ultimately did not choose a guild.]

At last, the message that appeared brought a satisfied smile to Ryu Mins lips.

[Player Black Scythe has joined the traitor group.]
