The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 236

Episode 236:

Connect has never had proper PVP (player vs. player) content.

Although it was unofficial, there were cases where tournaments were held like the First Academy recruitment exam, but it has long since been relegated to content for beginners.

Maybe that’s why people were always curious.

-How strong are the rankers?

It’s already been a year since the official Connect rankings were made.

The calculation standards have been made public to some extent.

Level skill proficiency, contribution from solving quests, reputation, etc.

In other words, the ranking was not determined simply based on strength.

Moreover, there are points that players who have enjoyed the game to some extent agree with.

-As your level rises and you get closer to full level, the gap between top rankers decreases.

Perhaps it was natural.

The level-up system makes it really difficult to raise levels and proficiency, which are easy to climb in the beginning, but later seem to have plateaued.

This phenomenon was not much different even if it was a connection.

Currently, the average level of high rankers within the top 300 is 65.

And the level of Kim Il-woo, who is ranked 2nd overall, is 68.

There is only a 3-level difference.

Moreover, everyone from 5th to 50th was at the same level as level 67.

This means that if you look at the level alone, there is almost no gap between the top users.

‘Of course, Bae Do-hyun is a little different.’

Level 70.

He was the only player among the players to reach level 70, and the gap with second place was two levels wide.

However, Saebyeol Guild Master Kim Isang did not attach much significance to that fact.

A fact I didn’t know at first, but has now become clear.

-Bae Do-hyeon is subject to special management by the First Guild.

Unlike other Purple Guild members, he rarely appears in general quests or group quests.

because?

This is because he has a monopoly on the sweet quests provided by the First Guild.

Analysts were predicting so.

And in fact, the common belief was that the pace at which he leveled up was impossible without such privileges.

‘In short, it’s like a mascot.’

The number one player ranking is right with us.

It meant that the First Guild was taking special care to show that.

So, Kim Yi-sang did not think that Bae Do-hyeon had anything special.

‘He’s probably an official from Connect Co., Ltd. or someone with a dirty corner.’

Of course, that didn’t mean I was ignoring him.

If you look at the videos that are occasionally uploaded, it definitely doesn’t mean that you don’t have any skills.

But that was all.

A predictable level that a player at that level can show.

I was just a few levels ahead of others.

If it weren’t for the fan base formed early in the game, it would have ended up as a mediocre ranker.

And that wasn’t just Kim Isang’s opinion.

“Please leave it to me. “I am confident enough to win.”

It was Cho Min-chan, the leader of the Saebyeol Guild and the 93rd overall ranking.

Although his level was 66, he was confident enough.

He logged on to Connect three months later than other early players.

Nevertheless, thanks to his outstanding talent and the support of the Saebyeol Guild, he continued to grow at an incredible rate, and before he knew it, he had entered the double-digit rank.

‘If I had logged in three months earlier, the first place would have been mine.’

In fact, in the real world, he was a human weapon with a total of over 20 degrees in 5th degree in Kendo, 4th degree in Hapkido, and 20th degree in other degrees.

He was a special forces soldier in the military, and after being discharged, he worked as a security guard and was selected to the Saebyeol Group, where he rose to his current position.

In any case, unlike Jo Min-chan, who was full of motivation, Kim Isang was a rational person.

“Cho Min-chan, Park Kyung-baek, Lee Sang-woo, Kang Do-hoon, Lee Jae-hyeon. It’s a competition. “Show this idiot reality.”

“…All right.”

Jo Min-chan’s expression wrinkled as if he was dissatisfied with something, but he soon lowered his head.

Whether he was a double-digit ranker or something, Kim Isang was his superior.

And Kim Lee-sang looked at Bae Do-hyeon and smiled, showing his teeth.

‘Stupid bastard. ‘Did you think we were some kind of knight and would agree to a one-on-one fight?’

Perhaps the knights who participated in the war would frown upon it, calling it a cowardly act.

But what does it matter?

According to what they say, the players are just lowly mercenaries.

‘The one who wins is Jang Daeng.’

It didn’t matter if Bae Do-hyun gave up on the fight and ran away after seeing the five come forward.

Running away is running away.

It’s also funny to see someone yelling loudly and then disappearing.

‘It would be better if you agreed to a confrontation.’

As stated in the announcement, all players now receive a death penalty.

If you lose a life, not only will your level proficiency drop, but you will also be unable to log in for a few days.

There may be some who criticize it because it is a 5-on-1 match, but there will be more people who will applaud the fact that the number one ranked player lost his life.

‘Anyway, this side has nothing to lose.’

The five people he sent out were all rankers above level 60.

Even if you are number 1 in the rankings, you will never be able to win against 5 ranked players in the top 1000.

In fact, the prevailing opinion in the community was that there was almost no difference in skill between rankers in the top 500 or higher.

It may be a one-on-one match, but the conclusion reached by some guilds through their own evaluation was that they could not win against two other rankers by themselves.

‘The fallacy of hasty generalization.’

Lee Sang Kim was not aware that he was falling into that common error.

* * *

Murmur.

Five players from the Zeredu family camp rode horses and headed to Bae Do-hyeon’s location.

The soldiers were murmuring, not knowing what was going on, and it was only when the five men pointed their weapons at Bae Do-hyeon that they realized what was going on.

“Wooooh.”

“Cowardly!”

While the defenders on the walls jeered, the soldiers in the Zeredu camp became quiet.

“Are you okay with it that way?”

“Isn’t this a fight between vulgar mercenaries anyway? “I should be grateful just for accepting the competition.”

“That’s true, but…”

Kudre, the head of the Zeredu family, looked rather interested, as if wondering what the problem was.

As the head of a merchant family, he seemed to like Kim Yi-sang’s choice.

However, the knights’ expressions looked quite shocked.

‘Isn’t this a bit much?’

Anyway, it already happened.

They just watched Bae Do-hyun’s choice.

“If you give up and go back now, I won’t chase after you.”

Jo Min-chan said, aiming his long sword at Bae Do-hyeon.

“Is there any need to keep him alive? “Let’s just destroy it right here.”

“I’m sure I’ll be called a coward anyway, so why let me go?”

But it seems other people had different thoughts.

“shut up! “Don’t you have any self-respect?”

“….”

‘If you’re going to do that, tell Gilma from the beginning. ‘What kind of bastard are you now?’

Jo Min-chan, who suppressed the guild members’ complaints, spoke again to Bae Do-hyeon.

“I won’t talk too much. Let’s go back quietly and meet again later on the battlefield.”

Part of me seemed to be thinking of saving the face of the number 1 ranking and trying to win with skill, but…

“My name is Bae Do-hyun! There isn’t a single knight in the Zeredu family who has the guts to aim a weapon with me! “If you don’t want to fight, pack your bags and get out of here right now!”

Bae Do-hyun shouted again calmly as if there was no one in front of him.

‘This bastard…!’

Jo Min-chan, who was angry at Bae Do-hyun’s disregard for treating him like a non-existent person, shouted.

“Hit!”

“This bastard is gone!”

“Let’s see how good you are!”

Five members of the Saebyeol guild simultaneously raised their weapons and rushed at Bae Do-hyeon.

And the light flashed.

“Rolling speed… wow.”

“Power smash… kek!”

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The five yellow mana spears that split from the tip of Bae Do-hyeon’s spear without much emotion pierced their hearts.

dump. Slurp.

The skills that the five guild members were trying to develop could not even be activated properly and were lost in vain.

And although it was not visible from a distance, there were small daggers stuck one by one near what was assumed to be their Danjeon.

‘That’s stupid.’

Bae Do-hyeon clicked his tongue inwardly.

If the five of you were planning on joining forces, wouldn’t it have been better to include archers and wizards instead of just melee classes?

If that were the case, Bae Do-hyeon would have at least swung the spear a few more times.

It wasn’t that difficult for Bae Do-hyeon to temporarily tie up the bodies of the five rushing people with invisible telekinesis and then transform the Mana Sphere to deal with them.

“My name is Bae Do-hyeon! “Is there not one among you who can even wield a weapon properly?”

Bae Do-hyeon’s expressionless shout, as if he had no emotion, echoed through the battlefield again.

“How…?”

Kim Yi-sang opened his mouth wide and looked at Bae Do-hyeon with an expression of disbelief.

“Does that make sense? “All five of you were rankers!”

“What happened? “Has anyone seen it properly?”

Not only that, but agitation spread among the players.

The five who just collapsed helplessly were rankers who boasted the best skills among over a thousand players.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Zeredu family.

“what? “If you’ve already left, you should at least stab him properly.”

“They said they were mercenaries and they were skilled. “What on earth did you go out for?”

“If this is going to happen, wouldn’t it be better for the drivers to just step forward?”

Instead, he glanced at where the players were and clicked his tongue.

And the head of the family, Kudre Zeredu….

“Such idiots! “What kind of bastard is that!”

Clink!

He even threw the tea cup he was drinking from on top of the carriage and ran wild along the road.

“Bertio! Go out now and cut off that guy’s head! right now!”

“Yes, matriarch!”

When Bertio, a knight near the carriage, was pointed out, he hurriedly adjusted his armament and rode to the battlefield.

Although he was a beginner level expert, he was one of the top five skilled knights of the Zeredu family.

“Inoom! “I’ll deal with you!”

He raised his spear and rode away, shouting again.

“My name is Bertio! I am a knight of the Emerald Knights of the glorious Zeredu family! How dare a stranger call himself a knight! “Let me fix that messy hair!”

Boom, boom, boom!

Bertio showed off his skills by freely rotating a spear over 3 meters long in the air.

“Go for it!”

Phew!

Bertio confidently shouted as he placed a blue mana sphere on the spear.

And the next moment.

bang! Kkwadantang!

With a loud shock, Bertio fell from his horse.

‘…Whoops. ‘What happened?’

His eyes looked confused as he quickly regained his position and took a deep breath.

“Hoo. Were you an armor user? “I never even thought about it.”

Bae Do-hyeon was leisurely looking down at him from a horse, leaning his spear on his shoulder.

It was a humiliating situation, but Bertio could not relax his nerves.

If it weren’t for the power armor, he might have been knocked out in one hit like the mercenaries who had just been wiped out.

“It wasn’t wrong to say that the Brennan Republic was wealthy. I can’t believe I was given power armor with only that level of skill. This is unthinkable in the Kingdom of Ruben, tsk tsk.”

“This guy! ” Are you insulting me! “A barbaric foreigner who can’t even use armor!”

At the same time, Bertio launched his spear and attacked Bae Do-hyeon.

Unlike before, he used all of his real skills, using all of his power armor’s output.

Empty! bang! bang!

Certainly, unlike the first time, the momentum and speed carried by the spear were fierce.

Maybe that’s why Bae Do-hyeon also held the spear with both hands and seriously caught the opponent’s spear.

And in Bae Do-hyeon’s hands, the Marquis Greer’s spear technique [Fury Wave (A+)] was unleashed.

Sigh! bang! Ba-ba-baak!

One minute was enough.

Bertio, caught in the net of the yellow mana sphere, was beaten one-sidedly like a drunk man, unable to control himself properly.

The power armor force field shattered like pieces of glass and fluttered in the air, and Bae Do-hyeon’s spear was already piercing Bertio’s heart.

“Wow!”
