Chapter 78
The thunder tribulation.
It was a divine punishment that occurred when a player reached level 151. Dozens of thunderbolts would fall with a power exceeding the target’s stats, making it difficult to handle.
This was why the absolute majority of players stopped growing at level 150.
However, those who dreamed of becoming National Treasures were different. They were people who threw themselves at the thunder tribulation to break through the wall of S-class.
A Conscientious Merchant was one of them. It had been eight years since he’d begun preparing to confront the thunder tribulation.
He was active in the Community and collected as much information and items related to the thunder tribulation as possible. The problem was that his Community points were on the verge of running out. Information and items related to the thunder tribulation were extremely expensive, so the enormous fortune he had accumulated from attacking gates wasn’t enough.
I need to find it.
A Conscientious Merchant had started to search for players who could resist certain status conditions, intending to dispose of the cursed items gathering dust and overcome his financial difficulties.
Of course, it wasn’t easy.
Unless they were idiots, players usually hide their trump cards. No one would announce that they were resistant to status conditions. He had sold his own items, participated in all types of auctions, went to chatrooms, and observed people—but he hadn’t achieved any significant results, at least, not until he’d met the man before him.
This person is probably a National Treasure.
