The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

That’s why he’s heading to Nigeria.

To make something big happen.

‘What if Black Scythe captures a public enemy? My reputation would skyrocket, at least more than now.’

And if he then asked Seo Arin, who was gaining popularity, for promotion?

The squad’s recognition and status would undoubtedly increase.

And that would significantly reduce the frequency of criminal players acting out.

‘It seems I’ll need Seo Arin’s help.’

Ryu Min dialed Seo Arin using Lostyak’s phone, even taking the meticulous step of morphing his face for voice modulation.

But.

‘She’s not picking up?’

Perhaps because it was an unknown number, she didn’t answer.

After several attempts with the same result, he decided to send a text.

[Seo Arin? It’s Black Scythe. I have something to discuss, so call me back when you see this.]

Not even 10 seconds passed before Seo Arin called back.

Seems she really didn’t answer unknown numbers.

-Are you really Black Scythe?

“Yes, it’s me. You’ll recognize my voice.”

-Ah, yes, it’s really you, Black Scythe.

Seo Arin remembered the voice of Black Scythe she met in reality.

Wearing a mask had made him even more memorable.

-How did you get my number? I never gave it to you…

“I have my ways.”

-Ah, right. You’re the CPF squad leader?

“Looks like you’ve seen the news.”

-Of course. I wouldn’t miss an article with your name in it…

“…”

-Oh, don’t misunderstand. It’s just a habit of surfing the internet and I happened to come across it.

“I’m not misunderstanding.”

-Then, why did you call?

“I was thinking of making a public service announcement to get our squad known, and you’d be the perfect model for it.”

-Me? A model?

Seo Arin was flustered, but only for a moment.

-I’ll do it. I want to.

She accepted so readily, it was surprising.

“You’re deciding this easily? Don’t you want to think it over?”

-What’s there to think about? If it’s something that can help you, Black Scythe, I shouldn’t even question it.

“Then it’s decided you’ll be the model.”

He had been worried she might refuse, but her enthusiastic acceptance was a relief.

“I’ll contact you once the schedule is set.”

-Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

“Opportunity? I should be the one thanking you.

-Um, if you’re grateful, may I ask for a favor? Ah, is it too presumptuous?

Ryu Min blinked at the sudden request.

“A favor? What is it?”

-Could we maybe have a meal together? If you’re not too busy, that is. If you are, it’s okay…

“Having a meal with a mask on… That might be difficult.”

-Oh, right, the mask.

Even transformed into Lostyak, he couldn’t reveal his face to Seo Arin.

“And I have to go somewhere for a while, so I won’t have the time.”

-Is that so? Where to…

“I’d rather not say.”

-Oh, I’m sorry…

Seo Arin, who had seemed so cool-headed at the barbecue, was now flustered, a stark contrast to before.

“Then I’ll contact you again when the advertisement schedule is ready.”

-Yes, I understand. Black Scythe.

After ending the call, Ryu Min smirked.

‘I’ve secured a model for the promotion, and CPF is running well without me.’

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

‘How’s Player Place doing?’

With that thought, he called Yamti, hearing her excited voice.

-Master! What’s up?

“Are you at home?”

-Yes, at home. Are you thinking of coming over…

“Cut the nonsense. How’s the management of Player Place going? Everything okay?”

-Yes. I’ve given detailed instructions to the chairman, so we’re smoothly accepting new members.

“All the new members passed the personalitytest, right?”

-Right. Thanks to you handling the thousand members last month, we’ve cleared out the mud and replaced it with fresh water.

“That’s good to hear.”

After Ryu Min and Ma Kyung-rok’s efforts, Player Place had been completely cleansed of its garbage.

“Now, tell the chairman: Make sure you manage the cafe members well so that you can move them at any time with just a word.”

-Don’t worry, I’ve already given the instructions.

“And the flight? No issues with booking?”

-Of course. I’ve booked the flight to Nigeria as you requested last week. We’ve received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport and the airports.

The flight Ryu Min was planning to take was prepared by Player Place’s chairman, Song Jae-kyum.

Despite being overshadowed by Ma Kyung-rok, he was also a prominent chaebol.

As the eldest son of the LC Group, owning a private jet was within expectations.

“So, I can leave tomorrow as planned?”

-Yes. But why are you going to Nigeria?

“That’s not something to discuss over the phone. I’ll tell you in person tomorrow.”

-Haaah, a trip alone with Master. I’ve been longing for this moment. I can’t believe how happy I am!

“Don’t exaggerate it. Just make sure your luggage and passport are ready. We’re leaving tomorrow morning.”

-Understood, Master! Teehee!

After hanging up, Ryu Min shook his head.

‘Maybe I should’ve just told her over the phone?’

He hoped she hadn’t misunderstood anything.
