I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 279

The Rising Myo Monthly Team (1)

All members of the Myo Monthly Team had gathered.

Team leader Yahwi.

And team members Seolmyo, Renhwa, Myoram, and Hajin.

And finally, Baek Jin-woo.

Excluding Baek Jin-woo’s summons, there were six beings in total.

Those who were usually chic had their eyes sparkling just for today.

Those core spheres before their eyes must look brilliant.

Gulp.

And that was the same for Baek Jin-woo as well.

‘I want them all.’

With 100 of those core spheres, he could transcend another one of his summons.

– Ahem.

Yahwi cleared his throat.

– First, I want to tell everyone that you’ve worked hard. Originally, our performance would have been 8th place. Even if we weren’t completely crushed by the Captain, we would have been watching his mood a lot. We almost died because of the rookie, but we also lived because of the rookie. However, as I said before, the rookie didn’t do well. It was too dangerous a gamble. Rookie, do you agree with my words?

“I agree.”

Baek Jin-woo nodded his head.

It wasn’t wrong.

From their perspective, they wouldn’t know about the existence of Sacred Flame Fire or Black Flame Fire.

Baek Jin-woo had simply thrown an adventurous move.

He was short on time.

He needed to reach the 5-star Gate Realm, the of Migyeong, within a short period.

Only then could he save Earth from the Arbitrator.

– Good. Now we’ll divide the rewards, and normally I should take 50%. However, this month I didn’t particularly accomplish anything. In fact, the rookie created everything.

Clatter!

Yahwi rolled a core sphere between his fingers.

– So for this case only, we’ll divide everything equally, but we’ll add a little more in recognition of the rookie’s spirit and performance. Does everyone agree?

– I agree!

– Ooh.

– Sounds good.

For the team members, there was nothing bad about it.

If the team leader was giving up his 50%, what complaints could there be?

Yahwi divided 290 by 6.

That came out to 48.333333….

It didn’t divide evenly.

– First, everyone takes 45 each basically. Then 20 remain, right? Rookie, you take those. We get 45 each, the rookie gets 65.

Tsk.

Baek Jin-woo was slightly disappointed.

If he just had 100, he could transcend one more….

He was also slightly dissatisfied.

No matter how much of a gamble it was, in the end it was thanks to him that they won, and they’re only giving him this much?

Of course, he couldn’t argue.

Right now, even the cute Seolmyo next to him could tear Baek Jin-woo to shreds – that was his reality.

– Instead.

Perhaps Yahwi knew this, as he presented one condition.

– Originally, rookies don’t participate in actual combat for a year and learn by watching – that’s the rule. But for this case only, I’ll grant the rookie immediate operational authority.

Instantly, the team members stirred.

– Isn’t that a bit dangerous?

– Even if we were lucky this time, if things go slightly wrong, we could lose everything.

Renhwa and Myoram objected.

However, Yahwi cut through the team members’ opposition with one stroke.

– Shut up.

At the sharp voice, the team members flinched and closed their mouths.

– Are you still running your mouths after seeing your performance this month? You earned like trash and yet you’re taking 45 each and have a lot to say. However, I’ll only give you a small amount. Exactly 200. Since it’s your first time, just try rolling with 200, rookie. Got it?

“Sounds good.”

Baek Jin-woo cheered inwardly.

From what he could see, the more you win, the more you get to take….

– If you don’t know something while doing it, just ask Seolmyo.

“Understood.”

He was given a personal room.

It had the exact same structure as the operations room Seolmyo had used.

He also received 200 operational core spheres.

“Phew.”

With this….

He should be able to transcend two summons.

Seolmyo had explained everything to him roughly.

He had heard how to utilize them, and she had also threatened that if he operated this month and recorded a minus, the team leader would probably revoke his opportunity again.

“Everyone come out.”

Baek Jin-woo brought out all his summons in the room.

Even a blank sheet of paper is better when held together – from now on, we’re a team within a team.

The so-called Baek Jin-woo Team!

– Master, shall we look for games again?

“That would be nice. But it doesn’t seem to be such a common opportunity. They don’t come up often.”

– Then we’ll have to trade directly….

“No, we won’t do trading.”

From watching closely.

Even if you really hit it big, you don’t earn much.

Besides, how much could he earn with 200 in capital?

“We’re definitely going with game betting. Everyone keep monitoring.”

– Yes.

“And Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“How are Sacred Flame Fire and Black Flame Fire doing?”

– They’re settled well in my heart. But they’re mostly sleeping. My power is still weak, so if they stay awake, it would be a burden on us.

“When betting opens, you can look for a moment, right?”

– I should be able to. I don’t know if they’ll give answers like last time though.

“Let’s try it first.”

We continued waiting for the right moment.

Based on the entire universe, there would be countless games, but unfortunately, the Myo Monthly Team’s equipment seemed to only catch things in this vicinity.

The summons spent leisurely time after a long while.

Normally they would have trained intensively, but now they knew that was meaningless.

Rather than training?

Earning one of those core spheres was power in this place.

Because of that, even Runde, who used to hammer away constantly, stopped hammering.

Making weapons was meaningless.

To make them?

After becoming a transcendent and creating laws….

The treasures in this place….

‘Huh?’

Wait a minute.

Among the ways to earn Sinhaekkeu, there was definitely selling treasures.

What if such a rule came to exist for Rund?

Wouldn’t there come a situation where I could gain profit from Sinhaekkeu arbitrage?

‘Good.’

You’re next for transcendence, Rund!

How much time had passed like that?

– Master!

Mayeo shouted.

– A game has appeared-nyang!

“Oh?”

Baek Jin-woo, who had been napping in the corner with Dampir, jumped up.

“A game!”

He immediately moved to the screen.

[Transcendent Calliope creates a game.]

[Game Name: Symbiotic Parasite Hunt]

“…Symbiotic Parasite Hunt?”

What’s that supposed to be?

Reading it, there was a detailed explanation.

[Game Background: A powerful symbiotic parasite has been discovered in the nearby universe. The core of this symbiotic parasite contains transcendent power, and 10 transcendents are battling to claim it. The participating transcendents each possess unique abilities, and to claim the core, they must either destroy it directly or interfere with their opponents. The problem is that the symbiotic parasite won’t just sit still! We’re opening a game based on this battle!]

Wow.

So games can be opened this way too.

Flash!

The screen appeared, showing ten transcendents targeting a massive symbiotic parasite.

‘That’s a symbiotic parasite…’

There was a cosmic monster in a completely different dimension from the symbiotic parasites Baek Jin-woo had hunted early on.

It was much larger and more terrifying.

– Uaaaah!

Ramba grabbed both arms and trembled violently.

– A-as expected, the Black Sea is a scary place-nyang! Such monsters are hiding everywhere-ning!

– It’s incredible, Master. Even watching through the screen makes me breathless.

Phew.

So what should I bet on?

Baek Jin-woo clicked around on various things.

There were three betting methods in total.

1. Who will destroy the core first!

2. Who will die first!

3. How long will the battle last?

“This is really a gambling den.”

Forget everything else, how could anyone predict the battle duration?

When he clicked, each had odds.

‘First.’

These were the odds for who would destroy the core first.

Lord of Destruction Barka: 1.8x (Leading candidate)

Spear of Light Orpheus: 2.2x (Leading candidate)

Ksalte of Contracts: 3.0x (Leading candidate)

The Immortal: 4.5x (High possibility assuming prolonged battle)

Madness of the Battlefield: 6.0x (Uncertain, but has explosive power)

Ghost of the Abyss: 7.5x (Possibility of successful ambush)

Fate’s Tailor: 10.0x (Damage varies by probability, highly irregular.)

Predator: 12.0x (Insufficient combat power)

Formless Sword Ainia: 15.0x (No possibility)

White Poison: 15.0x (No possibility)

Not only that, but their realms and laws were written in detail.

Who would die first followed a similar format.

And.

How long will the battle last?

Within 5 minutes: 20.0x

10~15 minutes: 7.5x

15~30 minutes: 3.5x

30~60 minutes: 2.0x

Over 1 hour: 4.5x

So this is how it works?

Clink clink clink!

The sound of Sinhaekkeu gathering could be heard.

It seemed other transcendents were betting through the system.

Since it was an emergency game, there wasn’t much time.

Seolmyo didn’t even come.

Usually, the unwritten rule was to not even look at such emergency games.

Of course.

This was just gambling, and if a Myo Clan member was addicted to such things, wouldn’t they have already been torn apart by that trade captain cat?

‘But.’

Baek Jin-woo had Pokryong.

More precisely, he had Seongyeomhwa.

“Pokryong.”

– Yes, Jin-woo.

“Ask once for me.”

Honestly, I don’t know if she’ll answer again.

And I don’t know if she’ll tell me 100% certainty this time either…

– It will be a prolonged battle lasting over 1 hour, and Ghost of the Abyss will 100% destroy it. She says there’s no other way?

“R-really?”

Baek Jin-woo’s jaw dropped.

This actually works?

– Aah, aaaah.

Mayeo cried out in despair.

– Pokryong has stolen this witch’s omnipotent law-nyang! How does that make sense-ong!

Really.

Come to think of it, isn’t Seongyeomhwa omnipotent?

“She really said 100%?”

– She’s already asleep. She took a quick look and told me refreshingly. And she said one more thing.

“What did she say?”

– She’ll collect the debt later.

Ah.

She wants to receive payment for the information!

That’s only natural!

If this works and I earn tons of Sinhaekkeu?

If I can become a universal hegemon like Myo Wang thanks to this?

Then I’ll definitely treat her well.

I’ll do whatever she wants.

“Okay.”

What if the Abyss Phantom destroys the core?

7.5 times.

What if it takes more than an hour?

4.5 times.

Then should I just bet on the 7.5 times?

Is there no folder bundling feature here?

“Oh!”

Baek Jin-woo’s eyes widened.

There was!

[Folder betting is a feature that allows you to bundle multiple bets and place them all at once. You can only receive payouts if all bundled bets are correct, so be careful! If successful, the payouts are multiplied!]

There was even a very kind explanation.

This would be a huge profit!

If I bundle two of them?

7.5 × 4.5 = 33.75 times!

“Crazy.”

An absurd payout rate comes out.

I wonder if this is even allowed.

Click, click!

Baek Jin-woo clicked the screen to bundle the folder and put 200 available Sinhaekkeu into the equipment.

Authentication was completed, and just as he was about to go all-in.

Clunk!

The door opened and Seolmyo entered.

– Baek Jin-woo! I came in just in case, but you know that game that just popped up? I told you repeatedly, but those are usually scam games that transcendents use to steal Sinhaekkeu, so never even click on them… Wh, what?! What, what are you doing right now?

Oh no.

It’s Seolmyo!

Worried that he might try to stop him this time, he immediately pressed the bet button hard!

[Betting is completed.]

[Payout rate is 33.75 times!]

[200 Sinhaekkeu disappear.]

[If the payout succeeds, you will receive 6,750 back.]

– You, you, you, you…!

Seolmyo’s ears perked up and his face instantly turned pale.

The fur on his tail also stood on end.

– You, what have you just done! Did you just bet all 200 that the team leader gave you?

Seolmyo rushed over.

He grabbed Baek Jin-woo’s shoulders, lifted him up, and shook him.

– You crazy bastard! I clearly told you during training! Aaaaaaahhh!

“St, stop shaking me.”

– Do I look like I’m going to stop shaking? If mistakes are repeated, it’s intentional! Even if you were lucky last time and the probability was high… this is…!

Whoosh!

Seolmyo threw Baek Jin-woo to the side and pounded on the screen.

After looking at the betting details.

– Gaaaaahhh!

He foamed at the mouth.

– You, you bundled a folder? And on top of that… what kind of ridiculous choices!

Thud.

He collapsed right there.

Baek Jin-woo got back up and patted Seolmyo’s shoulder.

“It’s not too late even now. Seolmyo, hurry up and go bet like this too…”

– Shut uuuuup! Aaaaaaahhh!

“…I clearly told you.”

Baek Jin-woo shrugged his shoulders.

Since he said the battle would take a little over an hour, well.

The results would come out soon.
