I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 128
The Rewards Are Insane
“…I won.”
Hong Ari muttered with a trembling voice.
“That damn guild master actually won for real…!”
Unable to contain her excitement, she shouted while clenching both fists tightly.
Her palms were damp with sweat from how nervously she had been watching.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Hyuuuuung!”
Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho were already jumping around everywhere in chaos.
He had won.
Not just won, but with incredible gameplay.
With a bit of wit and acting, plus overwhelming control, he had defeated Rachel who was armed with three whole S-rank creatures!
“Hehehe, I knew our guild master was a monster, but to think he was at that level.”
“Did you see him dodge that Power Word Kill? That was like dodging a bullet with his eyes, wasn’t it?”
“Damn…! Why is there so much dust getting in my eyes.”
Everyone was both joyful and moved.
They held back tears while tensing their jaw muscles.
How much their hearts had raced while watching.
When Rachel flew over and delivered that breath attack, they thought it was all over.
When the new S-rank summoned creature appeared afterward, they screamed together.
It was cheating.
What kind of person has three S-rank summoned creatures?
Victory was out of reach, so let’s be satisfied with runner-up.
But what do you know.
Our guild master was invincible.
If players had grades, wouldn’t he be an S-rank player or higher?
‘Hunkyo, Ramba, Doldoli, Pokryong, and even our guild master… They were just completely in sync with each other.’
‘This scene clearly showed why the Five Emperors had been wary of him. Baek Jin-woo being Baek Jin-woo.’
‘To think that monster is our master… To think that monster is our national team captain…!’
While the guild members were savoring the endlessly surging dopamine throughout their bodies.
[The World League is ending.]
[Accordingly, the Day of Peace will automatically end.]
[From now on, players can use summoned creatures for combat purposes outside!]
The league had finally ended.
“Ah.”
“Aah.”
Humanity’s greatest event hosted by an unknown system!
[The winning country is South Korea!]
[Rewards for each country will be distributed according to ranking.]
[Reward details will only be revealed to participating players.]
“Oh.”
“So this is how it was?”
The SKY Guild members stirred.
Their first-ever league victory reward in their lives!
What could be the contents of those rewards that supposedly bring tremendous wealth and national benefit to the country?
“It appeared!”
Gi Jae-hyeok shouted while pointing to one side of his vision.
There was a system window that only participating players could see.
[World League victory rewards are arriving.]
[You have obtained ‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘1 Ton Gold Bar Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘1 Ton Gold Bar Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘1 Ton Gold Bar Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Rune Sealing Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Rune Sealing Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Rune Sealing Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Pure Genetic Summoning Scroll’!]
[You have obtained ‘Random Skill Summoning Scroll’!]
Swoooosh!
Along with the appearing status windows, items were documented and dropped equally to each player.
“Wh-what is all this?”
“Why are there so many?”
“U-Ultimate Summoning Scroll! Three of them too! This is insane, isn’t it?”
“Gold bars? What’s a Rune Sealing Scroll? Pure genetic? Random skill?”
The eyes of the guild members who received the items in the arena wavered with pure curiosity.
“Uh…”
Baek Jin-woo had received the same things.
Swoosh!
Eleven pieces of paper in his hands.
However.
In Baek Jin-woo’s vision as he just emerged from the arena, there was something that other players didn’t have.
[Congratulations!]
[You have been selected as the World League MVP!]
[MVP is a qualification given to only one player who led their country to victory.]
[Rewards are arriving.]
[You have obtained ‘100% Summoning Scroll’ (S-rank)!]
[However, a specific sacrifice is required to use this item.]
Whooom!
A golden glowing summoning scroll appeared before him.
“…Huh?”
Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.
Really?
For real?
He had wondered about it.
He had been curious about what kind of reward they gave that made Rachel struggle so desperately to win, and this is what they gave!
The corners of Baek Jin-woo’s mouth slowly rose.
Now he understood.
How Rachel could have three S-rank summoned creatures.
She had won the World League three times total.
All as MVP too.
“Amazing.”
While Baek Jin-woo was lying in the hospital, she had been sneakily enjoying all the benefits by herself.
If he had known this would happen, he should have woken up just a little sooner!
Baek Jin-woo was savoring his joy while having such impossible thoughts, but soon tilted his head.
‘But what’s this about a specific sacrifice?’
He looked into the contents of the summoning scroll.
[Guaranteed Summoning Scroll]
[Grade: S-rank]
[You can definitively draw an S-rank summoned creature.]
[However, you need 10 ‘Ultimate Summoning Scrolls’ to draw.]
“Ah.”
So it wasn’t just given for free?
Still, they distributed 3 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls each as championship rewards, so they must have collected those to draw.
‘I also collected exactly 10 scrolls.’
What does that mean?
I got a chance to draw one S-rank summoned creature!
‘Thank goodness.’
If I hadn’t collected the Ultimate Summoning Scrolls and opened them one by one, it would have been a real disaster.
First, Baek Jin-woo and the guild members came out of the arena and returned to the VIP room.
They would spend some time here, then around evening, take a private jet back to South Korea.
We gathered together and held a meeting about the rewards.
Yu Ji-a naturally participated as well.
“Ultimate Summoning Scrolls aside, what’s this 1-ton gold bar summoning scroll?”
“The item description says this.”
[1t Gold Bar Summoning Scroll]
[Grade: B-rank]
[1t of refined gold bars will be summoned right in front of you.]
[It’s quite heavy and a large amount, so caution is needed.]
“…What kind of item is this in the world.”
We each received 3 scrolls, so that’s 30 scrolls total.
That means we received a whopping 30t of gold.
“At current market prices, gold is about 100 million won per kg… That’s 100 billion per ton. All of this combined is a whopping 3 trillion won, 3 trillion.”
“Wow, jackpot.”
Gold cannot be transmuted.
Even a Transmutation Alchemist wouldn’t be able to transmute gold.
The currently known methods of gold synthesis are supernova explosions or colliding neutron stars…
There’s no way humanity’s current scientific technology could accomplish such tremendous feats.
Maybe in the very distant future.
That’s why all the gold currently existing on Earth flowed in from space when Earth was formed.
‘Something like this.’
The system handed this over saying we won the championship.
This is a type of reward that never appeared in “Battle of Summoners” either.
That game didn’t even consider nationality in the first place.
There weren’t many users either.
“Here, read the Pure Oil Field Summoning Scroll too.”
Hong Ari spoke up.
“It’s similar to gold. I wondered what ‘yujeong’ was, but it must be oil field. An oil field.”
Oil field?
[Pure Oil Field Summoning Scroll]
[Grade: A-rank]
[1 billion barrels of oil will be deposited in the designated area.]
[Please note that an area of 100㎢ is required.]
[Area overlap is possible.]
“Crazy!”
Hwang Ju-won let out a scream.
“You’re just turning the country into an oil-producing nation?”
They even gave us 10 scrolls.
That’s 1 billion barrels per scroll, so 10 billion barrels total.
“10 billion barrels is roughly worth about 1 trillion dollars as far as I know? That’s over 1,300 trillion won in Korean currency. The location is easy too. Just place it by the coast.”
“Now I understand what the World League is trying to say.”
Baek Jin-woo nodded.
He had already read what the Random Technology Summoning Scroll meant.
[Random Technology Summoning Scroll]
[Grade: A-rank]
[A book containing meaningful technology that will benefit the nation appears randomly.]
“Really, literally national interest.”
Gold, oil, technology, etc.
They’re going to push the country so it has no choice but to develop.
“If we take this back, the National Intelligence Service guys will be very happy, won’t they?”
“…It’ll be classified as top secret. Whatever comes out. Just like England did.”
It was fascinating.
Was this also the reason England could immediately seize the position of hegemonic power from the United States?
Of course Rachel’s military power would be there too, but money and technology couldn’t be ignored either.
‘Especially technology.’
I don’t know what might be contained, but I could tell without being told how terrifying a single technology ahead of its generation could be.
But there are 10 such technologies.
England must have taken 30.
“Lastly, the Rune Binding Scroll.”
[Rune Binding Scroll]
[Grade: A-rank]
[Makes the rune set worn by a summoned creature ‘bound’ status.]
[Once in ‘bound’ status, it cannot be unequipped.]
[However, the rune’s stats increase by 20%.]
This seemed like it would divide opinions.
Players who mainly use A-rank summoned creatures often need to change runes.
‘But.’
Baek Jin-woo’s lips curved upward.
‘This is a huge gain for me.’
Creatures with graduation runes have no reason to change runes.
Like Ramba and such.
They already have no more stats to raise, but if I apply this, I can draw out 20% more speed.
Same with Hunkyo.
There’s no need to remove the Trinity runes, so I can just graduate them completely.
Then they’ll become stronger.
Baek Jin-woo smiled and turned his gaze.
The guild members were earnestly explaining to Yu Ji-a and sharing information.
How much time passed like that?
“I’ll organize it like this.”
Yu Ji-a spoke up.
“We’ll split the gold bars 1:2 with the guild. Each of you take 1 ton as your share, and submit 2 tons to the guild. The oil fields and technology seem like issues I need to negotiate compensation for with the nation, and the 3 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls and Rune Binding Scrolls are each person’s share.”
Of course, the oil field and technology compensation also all belong to the guild.
That’s how the guild contract works in the first place.
All assets earned using player abilities belong to the guild, and guild members only receive salary or bonuses.
“We’ll discuss the bonus portion from oil field and technology compensation again later. I’ll distribute it so you won’t be disappointed.”
Yu Ji-a organized things cleanly yet firmly.
In fact, she was Baek Jin-woo’s spokesperson.
In other words, it could be considered the guild master’s decision.
“1 ton of gold bars… That’s 100 billion won, which is enough.”
Hwang Ju-won nodded his head.
“Right. Without our guild master, we wouldn’t have even made it to the round of 16, let alone won.”
“We have no complaints!”
There didn’t seem to be any guild members with complaints.
Rather, they were grateful.
He brought in kids with no skills, raised them, fed them, housed them, even spoon-fed them rewards, and now even gave them an enormous bonus!
If anyone had complaints here, they’d have no conscience.
Moreover.
‘The guild master said he’d definitely recruit more guild members.’
‘If I get on his bad side here, I’ll be dropped from the next national team.’
‘What if he doesn’t give me proper consulting?’
‘I absolutely have to make a good impression.’
They had reasons why they had no choice but to be loyal to SKY’s system.
Because it wasn’t permanent.
They felt it clearly this time.
Their own skills were still woefully inadequate.
To improve further from here, they absolutely needed help from Baek Jin-woo and Hunggyo.
“Then today’s meeting ends here!”
Thwack!
It was when Yu Ji-a put down the documents.
Ding dong!
The VIP room bell rang.
“Huh? Who could it be?”
When Yu Ji-a approached and opened the door, a staff member whispered something to her.
She nodded and looked at Baek Jin-woo.
“Jin-woo.”
“Yes?”
“Rachel wants to see you once before returning home?”
Rachel?
Ah, right.
We had promised to see each other’s faces once before leaving, hadn’t we?
