Episode 163. balance collapse
Juan and Luca became the same team.
Hunters belonging to the same Triunpo knew better than anyone else how much of a loss of balance this was.
“Uh huh?!”
“wait for a sec!”
“Hey, not like this!”
So, most of the members of the Red Team on the other side reacted the same way as the current Team 6 members.
Some people jumped up in surprise, while others got angry. Some people had serious expressions and were at a loss for words.
And, like Ricardo, there were people muttering with an expression of not understanding.
“No, why did you make the team like that? Anyone can see that the balance is not right… ?”
At the same time, Ricardo lifted up his smartphone. A group talk room where team leaders were gathered appeared on the screen.
– Team 4: ?
– Team 5: ???
– Team 7: Huh… .
– Team 4: Why was the team organized like that?
– Team 8: I don’t think this is really true… .
– Team 4: PD, is that guy out of his mind?
It seemed like everyone was thinking the same thing, as only the red team leaders were reacting strongly, and the blue team didn’t say a word.
“I think this is at a level where we need to call the PD later and hand it over to our own court… .”
Ricardo now even suspects that the PD may have received money from someone else.
But he was wrong.
At that time, Team 1 leader Francisco was alone at home watching TV while drinking a glass of Abyss 20 Year Old.
“… “You have a good team.”
Francisco raises his glass and takes a sip while muttering to himself.
In his mind, the memory of the phone call he had with the main producer this morning came back to him.
‘Not like any other guy, that PD guy has no choice but to follow my words unconditionally. If it weren’t for me, he would have been taken to the slaughterhouse.
The current main PD was originally the field producer of ‘I Want to Know About Selepo’, a famous current affairs reporting program in the United States.
At the time, I was caught secretly filming illegal enhancement drugs distributed by the Triunfo Clan and was almost taken to the slaughterhouse.
However, when Francisco found out the PD’s identity, he immediately released him and recruited him as Triunpo’s main PD.
‘I kept him alive because his experience and skills were too valuable to just kill him, but in the end, it was the right choice.’
Afterwards, PD Lee took charge of all programs related to Triunpo, and he never created a program that failed.
It was a great help to the Triunfo Clan, and this time, following Francisco’s words, the team was designed to their advantage, so from his perspective, keeping the PD alive was an excellent choice.
‘If the team was formed like this, we would never lose. In addition, detailed tips for this round were also provided.’
Just in case, I even gave Juan detailed information about ‘Monster’s Canyon’ where this round will take place.
Francisco was confident that the blue team could never lose, as the team had the advantage and had obtained information in advance.
‘Unless Arlovski pulls off an outrageous performance on his own.’
But given the rules of this round, that is close to impossible.
Because, during this round, I had to wear ‘the suit’ and compete.
* * *
That time.
Ten players, including Kim Jin-seong, were wearing ‘the suit’.
The full body suits worn by all 10 people had the same performance, but had different colors. The blue team’s suits were all blue, and the red team, including Kim Jin-seong, had all red suits.
“All you have to do is put on your full body suit and press the round button on the solar plexus.”
Following the PD’s explanation, Kim Jin-seong pressed the button on the full-body suit.
At the same time, a system window appeared on the screen in front of me.
– You have perfectly worn the ‘special training suit’ exclusive to the Triunfo Clan.
– The current user’s abilities are displayed as follows.
User: Arlovski
Current level: 1
Experience: 0%
HP: 100
MP: 100
※ Currently, actual physical abilities are being suppressed. You can only use 6% of your usual amount.
‘Only 6% can be used…’ .’
Kim Jin-seong tried moving with mana activated just in case.
… It was true.
I felt like my actions were ridiculously slower than usual.
‘This is almost the same level as when the first preliminary round of Colosseum Survival began.’
That’s when Kim Jin-seong thinks about the frustratingly slow speed of his fists.
The PD who saw this continued his explanation.
“The full-body suit you are currently wearing is suppressing your abilities to suit the ‘Monster’s Rift’ environment where Round 2 will soon take place.
As you enter the game and level up, the percentage of suppressed abilities will naturally increase as well.”
“How much does it increase per level?”
The PD answered Luca’s question.
“For each level, HP and MP increase by 100, and physical ability suppression is lifted by 1%. Please note that the maximum level is 20.”
‘… So that means up to 25% is released.’
25% is still much better than now. Currently, the average ability level is less than 200, but at 25%, it goes up to about 1000.
For reference, if the average ability level is around 1000, it is almost similar to the ability level just before entering the New Continent.

It was a completely different level from the current level of 6%.
‘If this is the case, raising your level quickly will be more important than anything else.’
Just as I was thinking that, the PD spoke to the group again.
“It looks like you’re all finished wearing them, so we’ll start round 2 in 10 minutes.
If everyone goes to their respective waiting rooms, they will automatically be warped to ‘Monster’s Canyon’ 10 minutes later.”
With those words, the blue team and red team players each walked to their team’s waiting room on the other side.
The players who entered the waiting room naturally began a strategy meeting on how to deal with the enemies.
“Let me explain. In this round, the kids standing in each line are the best! “It’s important.”
The Blue Team held a meeting with Team 1’s Joo-an as the representative.
He moved his finger to the ‘Monster’s Canyon’ map placed on the table.
Top, mid, bottom.
Juan continued, pointing to the road that was divided into three sections.
“The kids who stand in these three lines gain experience much faster than the kids who run around the jungle. So you level up much faster.”
“How does your brother know that?”
The person who asked in a harsh voice was his rival, Luca.
“Didn’t you hear the explanation earlier? “The speed of summoning mini monsters that constantly attack along each line is much faster than the speed of re-summoning jungle monsters?”
“How can that mini monster give more experience than the jungle monster… .”
“Listen to me!”
Juan interrupted Luca with a loud voice.
“I know you hate me. But just this time, put that thought aside for a moment. “If we don’t come together as one, we can’t beat the red team, including Arlovski.”
“… … .”
“I’m explaining this now in the hope that everyone on the blue team will do well. So, don’t interrupt mid-sentence and just listen. okay?”
“No, apart from that, how are you going to prove that the kids in line gain experience quickly?”
“Shall we make a bet?”
Juan looked straight at Luca and spoke seriously.
“If what I say is correct, from now on whenever you meet me, you should bow politely and treat me as a senior. forever.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“If what I say is wrong, I will leave the Triunfo Clan as soon as the youngest contestant is over.”
“!!”
“I swear on the name of Juan. “If you want, you can write a memorandum right now.”
Even others, including Luca, widened their eyes in surprise at those words.
You’re going to wager that I’ll leave the clan in a battle with only the youngest member?
“how is it? “If you’re going to do it, answer now.”
Luca was unable to immediately answer Juan’s next question.
This was because I could feel the sincerity in Luca’s eyes, expression, voice, and everything he said.
“If there is no answer, from now on I will assume that everyone will follow my instructions for this round.”
“… … .”
“I’ll keep explaining.”
Juan, who naturally took over as the leader of the Blue Team, continued to conduct strategy meetings.
“Again, the fastest way to gain experience is by killing the mini monsters that attack along these three paths.
The faster you gain experience, the higher your level will be, and the faster you will become stronger. The kids who have become so strong start to intervene in the jungle, right?
From then on, the atmosphere always shifted towards us. “Do you understand what I mean?”
Everyone nodded at those words. Since everyone had previously played ROL games, they had a high level of understanding of the game.
“So, that means the three strongest players on our team will stand, one on each line. I play mid, Luca plays bot. And Team 3’s Gian takes charge of the top.”
Juan’s gaze soon turned to the remaining two youngest members of teams 9 and 10.
“You two take charge of the left and right jungle respectively. All you have to do is move according to my instructions while capturing the jungle monsters inside from time to time. I understand?”
The two nodded at Juan’s words.
In this way, the Blue Team’s operation was completed.
One person is placed in each line, two people are placed in the jungle, and so on.
* * *
The red team was also in a strategy meeting.
The person leading the meeting here was Dante, the youngest member of Team 4.
“First of all, if we calmly compare our team’s strength with that of the opposing team… .”
Dante takes a marker to the whiteboard with a serious expression.
He wrote down the names of everyone on the blue and red teams on the whiteboard and continued his explanation by drawing lines.
“First of all, let’s say Arlovski is in charge of one of Juan and Dante. Also, I can be in charge of the drafting of the 3 teams. “Kian and I are evaluated as having similar skills.”
Juan, Arlovski, Gian, and Dante, who crossed out his own name.
Dante crossed his arms as he looked at the remaining six people.
“The balance between the remaining teams 2, 9, and 10 and our teams 5, 7, and 8 is very unbalanced. To be honest, teams 7, 8, 9, and 10 are known to not have much difference in skill. “What do you think?”
“… … .”
“what… .”
The youngest members of teams 7 and 8 did not specifically deny it.
“If this continues, the only people left are Luca from Team 2 and Hans from Team 5… . “Can you deal with it?”
“… … .”
Hans from Team 5 also couldn’t answer.
In fact, everyone here knew that even if Dante, rather than Hans, took on Luca, it would not be enough.
“This is where the balance collapses. In the end, it is certain that an accident will occur on the side dealing with Juan or Luca. hmm… .”
“I guess I can deal with it.”
At that time, everyone’s eyes turned to Arlovski’s striking words.
Dante asked in a surprised voice.
“You’re going to deal with Juan and Luca by yourself?”
Arlovski shook his head.
“no. “All five of us.”
