The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player-Chapter 279: End of Round 17 (1)

★ Round 17 Results Calculation ★

[Unified Zone CA-EA001]

└ 1st place. Black Scythe (Lv98 Reaper) – Gold Used: 100,000,000

└ 2nd place. Democracy (Lv73 Buffer) – Gold Used: 50,000,000

└ 3rd place. Chrissy (Lv73 Priest) – Gold Used: 40,000,000

No player was surprised by the results.

It was exactly as expected.

They had already heard from Black Scythe that rankings would be determined based on the amount of gold spent.

[This round’s ranking is determined by who spends the most gold!]

Because of this, no one even bothered nodding at the angel’s explanation.

They already knew.

They knew that victory in the war would ensure everyone’s survival.

They also knew that there would be an enormous reward.

However, they had no idea what that reward would be.

At least, not until the message appeared.

[As a reward for clearing Round 17, all players will receive experience points and gold.]

[Due to the Kingdom Alliance’s victory, the acquired experience points and gold will be multiplied by ten.]

[Experience +47.68%]

[Gold +3,000,000]

[As an additional reward for the Kingdom Alliance’s victory, a god-tier material item, ‘Condensed Aether,’ will be granted.]

[Condensed Aether has been added to your inventory.]

The reward was far greater than expected, leaving the players wide-eyed.

“Three million gold? Seriously?”

“Well, we did use a ton of gold, so I guess it makes sense.”

“But the experience gain is insane.”

“My level jumped up by ten in one go!”

Players who had been in their 70s now found themselves in the 80s.

Stat-wise, it only meant an increase of 20 points, but having a different leading digit in their level made them feel significantly stronger.

‘It’s too early to be surprised. If we survive the next round, we’ll gain twice as much experience as this.’

Rapid growth was exhilarating for most, but not for everyone.

Ryu Min was one of the exceptions.

‘At this rate, I’ll definitely hit max level in the next round.’

Reaching level 99 from 98 required ten times more experience than usual.

Because of that, he was barely able to avoid the catastrophe of maxing out this round.

However, there was no way to avoid the experience points from Round 18.

‘I wanted to delay reaching max level for as long as possible, but I guess there’s no helping it.’

While most were excited about their sudden power-up, the real reward wasn’t the experience points.

It was the god-tier material—something that was notoriously difficult to obtain.

“Condensed Aether?”

“This is a god-tier material?”

“But what even is ‘god-tier’?”

Most players had no idea of the true value of what they had received.

‘Well, that’s expected. You’d only know if you’ve actually crafted a god-tier item before.’

Previously, during Round 11, Ryu Min had used a material package reward and received a blueprint for god-tier gloves.

He remembered selling it on the Player Market, so someone out there might have tried.

‘Then again, they probably couldn’t craft it due to the lack of Condensed Aether.’

Other god-tier materials were relatively easier to obtain, but Condensed Aether was not.

It was an extremely rare item, and now, every surviving player had received one.

Despite that, people didn’t seem particularly excited.

Perhaps noticing this, the angel decided to explain the item’s value.

[Since the Kingdom Alliance won such a difficult battle, the rewards are absolutely incredible! Can you believe it? A god-tier material item! Oh? You don’t know what god-tier means? Well, let me put it this way—you could survive all the way to Round 20 and still only obtain one, if you’re lucky. That’s how rare god-tier items are.]

‘Not quite. It’s not the highest tier. There’s still Eternal-tier above it.’

However, the angel made no mention of that.

Was it being deliberately omitted? Or did the angel truly not know?

Either way, god-tier items were incredibly rare—almost impossible to obtain.

Of course, that didn’t apply to Ryu Min, who already had six of them.

[Congratulations! You have achieved 1st place in this zone’s quest!]

[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ holds the top ranking in this zone.]

[As the 1st place reward, you have received the ‘Infinite Material Pouch’!]

[As an additional 1st place reward, you have received the ‘Special Reward Selection Box’!]

‘Another Infinite Material Pouch, huh?’

That made three in a row.

It seemed like the system was practically forcing him to collect materials and craft god-tier items.

Not that it mattered—he had already moved beyond god-tier and was working on crafting something even greater.

[Please select one of the following special rewards.]

[Tap the reward you desire.]

└ 1. Temporary Skill – Sweep Up (Limited to Round 18)

└ 2. Temporary Skill – Faction Change Ticket (Limited to Round 18)

└ 3. Information about Round 18

As soon as he opened the Special Reward Selection Box, one option immediately stood out.

‘A Faction Change Ticket… So I’ll be using this after all.’

Originally, Ryu Min had planned to choose Sweep Up and slaughter demons in Round 18.

But the situation had changed.

Now, killing the angel had become far more beneficial.
