My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

They had already proposed many fascinating theories.

The point HighlyCultured had raised, however, was not a conclusion that a large organization could reach simply by sacrificing enough people.

It was something that required time and exploration to uncover.

Bosses needed time to grow.

Killing Bosses also required time.

At the current stage, there simply were not many Bosses that even possessed equipment.

Even if HighlyCultured’s subordinates hunted Bosses day and night without rest, there was no way they could have reached this conclusion so early.

It simply was not realistic.

The logic was straightforward.

Any Boss capable of possessing equipment would never be an ordinary enemy.

If it could not win, it would know how to escape.

The Big Belly Zombie was the perfect example.

It only obtained its equipment after becoming connected to the god within the Sea of Quanta.

How could an ordinary Boss possibly have access to something like that?

When Joo Joowon combined this with what he had discovered the first time he summoned Customer Support, the problem became even more obvious.

Although ordinary Zombie Bosses were not Bosses deliberately deployed by the Age of Apocalypse, but had instead raised their own status through their own efforts, these Bosses had shallow foundations and generally would not possess equipment.

The NPCs that customer service could connect to, however, were clearly not poor creatures like them.

Then could it be understood this way?

The game did not only have a shop system for players.

It also had an entire system specifically for NPCs and Bosses.

They too could buy equipment from shops or NPCs.

These kinds of Bosses were not opponents prepared for beginner players.

Instead, they would gradually appear as players became stronger.

Before that happened, those Bosses would certainly do everything they could to arm themselves.

After all, the leveling speed of NPCs and monsters could never compare to that of players.

But what if those Bosses were also being controlled by "players" from another world?

Then what role did HighlyCultured play in all of this?

A thought slowly formed in Joo Joowon’s mind.

A closed beta player!

The Age of Apocalypse had launched directly as an open beta, but who could guarantee that it had never gone through a closed beta beforehand?

Joo Joowon had never considered this possibility before.

After all, if closed beta players really existed, it should never have been his turn to stand out.

Then again, perhaps they simply had no desire to become the center of attention.

After all, in most situations, people only paid attention to first place while ignoring everyone behind them.

Could that really be the case?

Not everyone disliked standing in the spotlight.

Joo Joowon was now completely certain that HighlyCultured knew something.

If he had only been somewhat suspicious before, then after HighlyCultured changed the way he addressed him, he became completely convinced that something was unusual about him.

Among everyone Joo Joowon had interacted with, only HighlyCultured had never followed the crowd by calling him "Boss," "Master," or "Legend."

Of course, a form of address by itself did not prove anything.

Most people only used those titles out of politeness.

Taking them seriously would simply be overestimating himself.

Even so, someone willing to address him that way at least showed that they did not mind elevating Joo Joowon’s reputation a little higher.

HighlyCultured clearly had never thought that way before today.

Prior to today, he had never addressed Joo Joowon in that manner.

That alone could not prove that, in HighlyCultured’s eyes, Joo Joowon was unworthy of such respect.

At the very least, however, it suggested several possibilities.

Perhaps HighlyCultured’s true personality was rather proud and he simply disliked using such titles.

Perhaps he believed Joo Joowon’s fame would only last for a short while.

Perhaps he viewed the two of them as equals and felt that using such an honorific would place himself in a lower position.

Or perhaps he simply felt that such a form of address was too familiar.

Any of those explanations were possible.

But suddenly changing the way he addressed Joo Joowon pointed to only one possibility.

Something had happened during that brief period of time that had influenced him, causing him to unconsciously change his behavior.

It was an instinctive form of avoidance.

Of course, that way of thinking was not absolute.

Even so, whenever someone’s attitude suddenly became unusual, it almost always meant they were hiding a secret they did not want exposed.

In other words, deep down they did not want others to continue investigating or digging deeper into a particular matter.

After thinking it over, Joo Joowon still placed a question mark beside his theory that HighlyCultured was a closed beta player instead of completely accepting it.

After all, it was also possible that HighlyCultured happened to have an NPC by his side.

Or perhaps he had discovered some loophole within the Age of Apocalypse itself.

Just because there was one extraordinarily lucky player like BlessedByRNG did not mean there could not be a second one.

The fact that Joo Joowon himself had never encountered an NPC did not mean that other players had not.

Because of that, immediately concluding that HighlyCultured was a closed beta player would have been too rash.

As for whether he truly was one, time would reveal the answer.

If closed beta players really existed, perhaps the reason they had not stepped into the spotlight was not simply because they wished to remain low profile.

Every person was different.

Even if the total number of closed beta players was very small, perhaps only one hundred people across the entire world, it was impossible for every one of them to choose to stay hidden.

A more likely explanation was that everyone was still in the beginner stage.

They simply had not yet been given enough opportunities to display their true abilities, which was why they remained unknown.

The time when they would truly begin to shine might only arrive once players obtained their classes.
