Chapter 173: Expected Results (2)
In particular, considering I had earned as many as seven titles and received special rewards from each of them, I could most likely earn as many as ten titles or more.
That’s why I was quite interested in the arena even before this event started.
But I had no choice but to put it off because I had to reach first level 700 to equip the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword, then level 1200 for reality actualization.
So, I concluded that since there was not much time left until the end of the event, it would be much better for me to collect some victory points than to collect some golden rings or miscellaneous items.
I moved to the arena and registered as Asirante to compete there.
First, I hunted monsters only with my trademark ice-type skills as much as possible.
The results?
Of course, I won endlessly. Actually, it could be called an overwhelming, not just simple, victory.
As a matter of fact, I had almost 40,000 intellect, so it was inevitable that I would win by a landslide.
My strength, agility, stamina, and willpower were a little below 30,000.
Moreover, by achieving level 400, the ice-type skills I could use increased and the skills I possessed were also of a high level.
Honestly speaking, excluding Blink with zero cooldown, I was more than twice as strong as before. Maybe almost three times as strong.
Anyway, my winning streak continued, but later, I encountered a problem because it was taking longer and longer times to match with an opponent.
At first, I was matched with an opponent almost immediately but after winning 200 consecutive times, it took quite a long time for me to be matched. And when I was finally matched, I kept winning, of course. I continued to stay in the arena despite my large winning streak because this was the most productive thing I could do right now.
The next day, a message rang when I fought only four times in the arena after waiting for three hours.
[The ‘Catch Up With Yourself’ event has ended.
-After exactly one munte, everyone who participated in the event will recover their original status window.
-Everyone who participated in the event will be given 150, 300, and 450 remaining stat points according to their level regardless of their ranking in the event.
-Users in the top rankings will be individually rewarded.]
[Lumen, Asirante was level 600 before participating in the ‘Catch Up With Yourself’ event.
-You are granted 300 remaining stat points.]
This seemed like a message that rang to everyone.
That’s why many people around me began to whisper among themselves.
“Wow! 300 stat points!”
“Damn it. If only I was 10 levels higher before starting the event, I would have 300, too!”
“Hahaha, I have 450.”
“By the way, I wonder what percentage those in the top rankings achieved.”
“Well, I guess about 70-80%.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. It was only 30 days. Even that is incredible.”
“Whew! You idiots! It doesn’t matter what percentage you achieved. Which do you think is higher, 100% achieved by a level 100 user or 10% achieved by a level 1000 user?”
“Of course, the level 1000 user…”
“Right? In the end, I am sure that the high level users would have claimed all the top rankings.”
“Anyway, I didn’t even expect to be included in the top rankings from the beginning.By the way, why is Asirante making such a fuss in the arena when everybody is busy participating in the event?”
“You bet. Damn it!”
“Well, I’m going to go to the arena for the time being.”
“Lol. Do you think a beginner like you can match with Asirante?”
“You’re right…”
Ignoring their conversation, I left the arena because although I haven’t collected enough victory points to buy a title yet, hunting was my number one priority after recovering my original status window.
As soon as I left the arena, another message rang.
Of course, I wasn’t surprised because right before the message rang, my status window showed I won first place. In other words, the message was about the individual reward.
[Congratulations! You have won first place in the ‘Catch Up with Yourself’ event.
-Total percentage points.
: 402.7%
-The rewards below are given.
: Considerable amount of EXP.
: 750 million golden rings.
: 700 remaining stat points.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
:
:
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
Along with the announcement message, level-up messages rang countless times.
Among them, there was one message that caught my eye.
[You have achieved an impossible record of catching up with yourself more than 400%.
-Acquired the title ‘I Am Not My Own Hurdle.’]
Compared with items that had equipment restrictions, titiles were far more attractive.
That’s why everyone participating in the event was anxious to earn a title.
I smiled in satisfaction.
Aside from everything else, I gained as many as 700 remaining stat points, so I could shake off the feeling that the rewards were not as good as expected.
Anyway, I checked my title.
“Check title ‘I Am Not My Own Hurdle.'”
[Title: I Am Not My Own Hurdle.
-It is a title that can only be given to the user who has caught up with himself with overwhelming points in the ‘Catch Up With Yourself’ event.
: Increases health by 200,000.
: Increases mana by 200,000.
: All stat points increase by 300.]
“Wow!”
I liked the 200,000 health and 200,000 mana, but I was really happy that all stat points increased by 300, for 300 was by no means low compared with my other titles.
“By the way, how many stat points did I get in total after winning this event?”
The remaining stat points I gained reached 1000 when I added 300 for the basic participation reward to the 700 that I earned by winning. And I received a 300 point increase in all my stats thanks to my new title, which amounted to a 1,500 total stat point increase.
Moreover, considering that Mutual Growth applied to the 1000 remaining stat points, my participation in this event was a jackpot.
“Man, it was really good that I took part in this event!”
Of course, I had no intention of taking part in this event at first, but I would have regretted it a lot if I had not, given all the rewards I received from this event.
After checking my rewards and status window, I moved straight to the Sabre Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat. I had more EXP than I expected thanks to the rewards.
So, if I really immersed myself in hunting harder, I thought I could achieve level 700 in the near future. Moreover, I was very enthusiastic to hunt because I had to stop hunting before against my wishes due to various unexpected events.
While I was moving to the Sabre Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat, I stopped on the spot and opened my mouth quietly.
“Check status window.”
[Name: Lumen, Asirante
Level: 682
Number of kills: 1285, Number of deaths: 0
Title: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 7 others.
Health: 2,850,000 / 2,850,000
Mana: 1,985,000 / 1,985,000
Strength: 2850 Agility: 2850 Stamina: 15400
Willpower: 9350 Intellect: 18350
Remaining Stat Points: 1820
Remaining Skill Points: 3
Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement.]
My status window was back from Asirante, Lumen to Lumen, Asirante.
Because of my new title of “I Am Not My Own Hurdle”, my health and mana have increased by 200,000 and all my stats have also been increased by 300 each.
In addition, there were still three skill points that I could not use because I was back to level 0 right due to my forced participation in the ‘Catch Up With Yourself’ event as soon as I reached level 600.
A total of 1820 remaining stat points, which I earned from increasing 82 levels along with being rewarded 1000 remaining stat points were also on the status window.
I could not help but admire my current status window.
Of course, my strength, agility, stamina, and willpower reached almost 30,000, and intellect reached 40,000 before the end of the event, but I was not satisfied with that back then, for there was a 30-day limited period, and I knew that it was not mine at the end of the day.
Anyway, I didn’t stop moving to the hunting ground just because I wanted to open my status window and admire it. There was something I had to check before returning to the hunting ground.
It was none other than the God of Enhancement trait.
