The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 132: The 9th Round Representative Selection Vote (1)

Time flew by, and it was midnight on September 1st.

The players no longer panicked.

Even when the environment changed in the blink of an eye to a colorless space.

Even when hundreds of people appeared out of thin air.

Even when a mad angel flashed with light from the sky.

The players, who had endured for eight long months, simply looked up at the angel with calm faces.

Welcome, humans! Seeing you like this every time, I feel like were getting attached. Dont you feel the same?

.

When the players remained silent, the beautiful brows of Angel Ariel contorted without mercy.

Whats with this cold reception? Do you think you can look down on an angel just because youve leveled up a bit? Arent you glad to see me?

Ha ha Y-Yes, were glad.

Right. Were glad, really glad.

Forced smiles appeared on the players faces.

F*ck you, you abusive b*tch

Anyone not a fool could tell it was merely polite lip service, but the angel seemed satisfied with that alone and smiled broadly.

Kehehehe, good. Im also glad to meet you, humans. But sadly, this round will be the last time youll see me. This round will involve a merge of regions!

A merge of regions?

Again?

It feels like we do this quite often lately.

The remaining players numbered just around 900.

It was indeed time for a region merge.

This will be the last region merge in Korea. From round 11, it will be merged with other countries.

As if to confirm Ryu Mins words, the angel explained.

Dont complain about doing it often. This is the last region merge to be held within the country of Korea.

The last one?

Due to the low number of people, we have to merge all 7 remaining regions in Korea.

Merging all the remaining regions?

So there will only be one region?

Thats right. Everyone will be unified into a single region. Its an opportunity for all the scattered Korean players to meet in one place!

The angel spoke as if reuniting a dispersed family.

Then, well proceed with the merge immediately.

The ground rumbled as the background shattered and merged.

The scattered Korean players gathered together.

Their number was roughly 6,000.

Looking at the new faces, the players thought.

Are all of us here the only remaining players in Korea?

Does that mean we have to compete with each other again?

What happens if the number decreases further?

I guess surviving here would increase a players value even more.

Their thoughts toward each other varied.

Some showed a competitive spirit, while others lamented the reduction of comrades.

Finally, all Korean players have gathered in one place! The exact number is 6,008. The merged regions new code is C3-ESKA001.

6,000 people?

Thats all thats left of the players in our country?

The player count that started at 9 million had dropped to just 6,000 in a mere eight months.

And it was expected to decrease even further.

Now that the district has been merged, well have to hold a selection for the region representatives as usual. We, the angels, will discuss this and come back, so in the meantime, greet each other or gather with friends to unwind!

After the angel disappeared, the 6,000 players, as if they had been waiting, began to voice their complaints.

In a situation where we have to compete, are we supposed to just greet each other?

What? Gather with friends to unwind?

Do they think this is some kind of meeting plaza? Seriously.

Even though the district was merged, there were no familiar faces to be seen.

Friends or acquaintances had mostly been eliminated in the early rounds and turned to dust.

However, not everyone was like that.

Ry No, Lord Black Scythe!

The first person to approach Ryu Min was Yamti.

Having been tipped off about the district merger, Ryu Min had instructed Yamti to come to him immediately after the merger.

I knew Id meet Yamti someday, so I couldnt pretend not to know her. Besides, Yamti is needed for the quests ahead.

To make use of Yamti, it was necessary to appear acquainted with her from early on.

Lord Black Scythe. Im glad to meet you like this. Were acquainted, right?

Enough. Theres no need for pretense when were alone.

Oh, is that so? Hehe, Im really, really glad to see you in this world, Master!

Shh. Keep your voice down when speaking. Just in case, check for assassins using invisibility within a 30m radius.

Oh, Im sorry.

After saying that, Yamti immediately surveyed the surroundings and then whispered to Ryu Min.

How was my acting at first? Good enough, right?

Hmm. You seemed a bit over the top. It would be better to tone down the emotions a bit.

Hehe, thank you for the advice, Master.

Anyway, dont get too close. What if someone sees you?

Ah, yes I understand.

Yamti, feeling inwardly disappointed, backed away after whispering in his ear.

At that moment, someone entered within a 30m radius.

Sensing the presence of two people at once, they both turned their heads.

Uh Black Scythe-nim?

It was Min Juri.

She had naturally come looking for Black Scythe as always but was surprised.

Suddenly, she saw him being cozy with a woman she hadnt seen before.

Who are you?

Hello, Im Yamti.

I didnt ask for your nickname, but whats your relationship with Black Scythe-nim?

Yamtis expression momentarily turned sullen at the prickly tone.

Then, as if struck by an idea, she deliberately snorted and lifted one corner of her mouth.

Hmm, well? Do I have an obligation to answer that?

What did you say?

And you, who came here late, whats your relationship with Lord Black Scythe?

You? I am Black Scythes com.

Min Juri began to speak but glanced at Black Scythe for his reaction.

Comrade? She wanted to say, but was Black Scythe of the same mind?

They had met out of necessity, and the word comrade had never been uttered.

rade

What? I cant hear you.

I, I am

Stop it. Both of you.

Ryu Min, finding it hard to watch the womens quarrel, intervened.

And as previously agreed, he explained.

Yamti here is a personal acquaintance of mine from the real world. And just to be clear, shes not my girlfriend, so dont get any weird ideas. And Min Juri is

Ryu Min looked straight at Min Juri.

My comrade. Weve partied together several times.

Ah.

Was it because she finally heard the word comrade she had longed to hear?

Or was it because he drew a line saying that the woman wasnt his girlfriend?

Min Juris lips formed a long curve.

A feeling as if her heart had been cleared.

An irresistible smile spread across her face.
