Chapter 101. < Episode 32. Strengthen power (2). >

“Hyung, what’s up?”
At Lee Hyuk-joo’s words, Jeong Hyeon-woo, who was lying on the sofa, opened his deeply closed eyes.
Whoever sees it, it looks like it woke up from sleep.
Lee Hyuk-ju asked a question.
“Did you have a dream?”
After thinking about something for a while, Jeong Hyeon-woo opened his mouth.
“Yes, I had a dream. A very nice dream.”
Jung Hyeon-woo speaks bluntly.
“In my dream, I received a Legendary item as a gift. It’s a huge thing that doesn’t even come out for sale.”
Lee Hyuk-ju laughed at Jung Hyeon-woo’s words.
“It is a dream. That, too, is the dream of a God Wars player. I heard that ordinary people dream of winning the lottery, and God Wars players dream of eating legendary skill cards or items. Well, it’s the same thing that both of them are dog dreams.”
At Lee Hyuk-joo’s words that followed, Jung Hyeon-woo closed his eyes once again instead of answering.
Jung Hyeon-woo’s expression was hardened.
“Oh, I’m going to go to work now.”
Lee Hyuk-joo, who confirmed that expression was not very good, got up from his seat and really moved to work.
Jung Hyun-woo, who saw Hyeok-ju with his narrowed eyes, thought.
‘Is it really a dream that Hyeok-ju is working?’
At that moment, Jung Hyeon-woo remembered what had happened a little while ago.
Lucky’s Gold Berserker and a necklace containing a curse that came to him.
Three results came out in a row that wouldn’t be strange even if you get one, cheers and chokes.
It was not unusual to think of it as a dream rather than a reality.
‘It’s not a dream.’
Of course, even at this moment, Jeong Hyeon-woo did not think of it and the whole situation as a dream.
‘Then that quest wouldn’t be a dream either.’
Of course, the quest obtained after that was also a clear reality.
Centaur Knight Information related to the quest began to fill Jung Hyeon-woo’s head.
‘Tunga’s black staff.’
Naturally, he also remembered Tunga’s black staff.
I don’t know the options of that wand, but if I recall the days of Wiga’s white wand, it’s clear that it’s an item that goes beyond Tunga’s wand.
It was a ridiculously valuable item considering that Tunga’s wand had an average market price of $120,000.
If it’s a transaction, even if you just sell it, you can enter the whole house with a lump sum.
Doesn’t Midas even have Zuga’s hammer?
However, Jung Hyeon-woo did not fall for the charm of the item.
‘Hidden compensation condition is targeting a party of 6 or less.’
Rather, Jung Hyeon-woo, the opposite, focused on the fact that Tunga’s black staff was an additional reward and the conditions for obtaining that additional reward.
‘It is not easy.’
That was the reason Jung Hyeon-woo’s expression was not very good.
‘Considering the game difficulty of God Wars, I wouldn’t dare to do that condition with a normal 6-person party. It must have been decided based on a party of at least 6 pro players. It is also based on completing all settings with the minimum unique grade item. The level is also over level 90.’
Unreasonable means that when one is added, 1 is not added, but more is added.
It means that the power of a 3-person party and a 6-person party is not simply doubled, but more than tripled.
‘I have to do that by myself…’
The problem was that Jung Hyeon-woo had to solve a quest of such difficulty with Lucky and Gold. Moreover, Jung Hyeon-woo did not have the time allotted to him.
‘Three days later.’
In the Blue Stone Golem Raid Live, he announced that he would hunt Centaur Knight in 3 days.
With that announcement, people were already counting down and waiting for the D-Day to begin counting.
‘The boss must have negotiated and set up with the advertisers accordingly.’
Of course, Rising Star Channel will also negotiate with advertisers and prepare the stage according to the announcement.
There was also the possibility of investing considerable marketing costs.
But now you’re saying you can’t do it?
Are you telling me to delay the time?
If you’re an amateur, that’s okay.
‘Pros should keep what they spit out.’
However, if Jung Hyun-woo was a professional player, he had to keep his promise on time.
Above all, it was not a level of delay for a day or two.
‘I have to reach level 90 to see a visible power increase, so it’s at least a week.’
If you really prepare for sure, it means you need more than a week.
‘If you add the time to set up and practice according to your strength, it’s 10 days.’
Also, having a force and training to use it properly were two different things.
In the first place, Jung Hyeon-woo said three days, not because he thought it would be good for that amount of time.
It was because of the calculation that it would take that much time to properly digest the newly acquired power.
‘I need money too.’
Crucially, even after level 90, a lot of money was needed to increase power.
If you reach level 89 right away, you can use Tunga’s wand, but you have to secure 120,000 dollars for it.
The horse cost 120,000 dollars, but Midas had to sell most of what he had in order to get the item right away.
The story of when you get even that well.
Tunga’s wand is extremely rare, so it was difficult to find it at a reasonable price in the current market.
‘I’d rather make sure what I’ve gained now is mine for two days.’
That’s why Jung Hyeon-woo made a bold decision.
‘Make sure on the day it is announced.’
After that decision, Jeong Hyeon-woo opened his eyes and shouted.
“Hyuk-ju, you need to pay for a cola! Set me up!”
Along with that cry, Jeong Hyeon-woo prayed earnestly.
‘I will only trust the boss. My nephew’s chicken was caught in the boss’s ability! Hefty cash, please!’

“You don’t take cash?”
To Emma’s question, an answer came over the receiver.
– That’s how it was written in the mail sent by the Rising Star channel. Ads will not be paid in cash.
Unlike the last time Emma had heard the answer, the voice that came out did not have the momentum of an uproar.
At that fact, Emma’s eyes narrowed like blades.
“Have you made a deal?”
Even as she spoke, Emma had a hunch.
‘It looks like I was rejected even though I made a pretty strong deal.’
Judging from that downcast voice, it was clear that he had tried several times, but it didn’t work.
It was as expected.
– He said that he could bet up to 1 million dollars in amount, but he said that the amount was not considered.
$1 million.
The moment the amount, which could never be said to be small, was mentioned, a question popped into Emma’s mind.
‘Is that enough to talk about? Are you thinking of not accepting ads in the first place? But if that was the case, there would be no reason to do a showcase, right?’
If you don’t want to pay for advertising, why are you calling advertisers and holding a showcase?
Something that is hard to comprehend.
– Instead, they said they would receive God Wars items and skill cards instead of money.
However, with the explanation that followed, Emma was able to dispel all doubts in her head.
‘That was the purpose in the first place.’
Is it money or an item?
It wasn’t really a concern for ordinary people.
Because money can buy items.
‘Well, in God Wars, things that are really valuable can’t be obtained even if you have money.’
However, in God Wars, there were many cases in which items that had market prices but were not for sale were unavailable even if they had money.
In particular, the higher the level, the more severe it was.
The conditions necessary to obtain items have been strengthened, the difficulty of hunting has increased, and hunting grounds and dungeons have been controlled.
It was like that right after level 100.
Tunga Kingdom Up to this point, there was no problem hunting with a party of 5 ordinary players.
However, in the forest of mirage, which was the stage after that, it was common for such a five-person party to be active in two or three groups.
There were many cases where a so-called engineering group was created, consisting of a party of 20 or more people.
And as the level went up, a lot of such raids were needed.
That was the reason why guilds and game companies were gaining power.
‘How long will solo play be impossible?’
There are limits to what you can do alone.
At that time, BJ Grand Mage will have no choice but to compromise and negotiate with those around her.
The words were compromise and bargaining, in other words, bowing one’s head.
In particular, in order to obtain legendary items or skill cards that could be obtained from such hunting grounds, they had to accept something other than money.
‘As long as he doesn’t reveal his secret.’
With that in mind, it was very wise to get something that money couldn’t buy in advance in this way.
In other words, it was an expression of will.
‘Nevertheless, it must be to somehow hide what he’s holding for as long as possible.’
An expression of the will to stick to what is special rather than money right now.
‘It’s either one. Either a hyena on the outside sniffing us, or a lion trying to get a bigger stake inside us.’
When it came to that point, Emma’s narrowed eyes held a terrifying anticipation like a blade.
– What should I do?
In response to the question that came to her, Emma said with that cold expression on her face.
“Good for you. Under those conditions, there is nothing better than the Abyss Guild. Just ask what you need. If you do that, the plan will continue as it is, right?”
– of course.
It was only then that the voice over the smartphone lingered in harmony.
“Yes, I hope it goes well.”
However, Emma’s eyes were sharper than ever when she answered.
‘Please, it should work out. Before it becomes a big problem.’

“Here are the proposals from advertisers.”
Park Young-jun, who accepted the tablet PC handed to him by a subordinate, immediately asked a question.
“Did anything good happen?”
“Are there many expensive ones?”
“No, not the expensive ones, but the good ones.”
“yes?”
At the words that followed, the subordinate tilted his head.
Isn’t expensive better?
“It’s hard to find. Even if they are uploaded to G-Bay, they are only uploaded for auction, not for immediate purchase, and even if an auction is in progress, they just check the market price and put it down.”
“Oh, yes.”
Only then did the subordinate, who realized Park Young-joon’s intentions, think about it in his head, and then spoke.
“I don’t think there was anything like that?”
“okay?”
“Yes, they were all things you could buy at G-Bay with money. I did a search for the prices of the items you suggested.”
The moment he heard the answer, he put the tablet PC Park Young-joon had received on the desk.
huh?
Seeing that, the subordinate blinked his eyes in front of Park Young-joon with a more surprised expression on his face.
why?
Park Young-joon opened his mouth with a clear expression that he did not need to say such a thing.
“Do you know why I came to the bottom of God Wars after graduating from the Wharton School and leaving a lucrative market like Wall Street?”
“Yeah….
Subordinates responded to questions that were not answers after thinking about them.
“Isn’t it because this market has better future prospects?”
“If it was just that reason, I would have gone into a well-to-do company on Wall Street and worked in the God Wars-related division. That’s a lot easier to make money on. Nevertheless, the reason I chose this floor is simple. There are no rules on this floor.”
Park Young-joon, who was talking, grinned.
“There are a lot of things to consider if you want to touch money on Wall Street. Whether you want to sell or not, you have to follow the rules, not your will. There are too many legal restrictions. I heard that there are even some kids who give up their jobs and go to law school after seeing cases where the legal team earns more than the trainer? Anyway, even if you have guts, it’s hard to have guts. But not this floor.”
“What is different?”
“If you have the guts, you can do it. To put it simply, it doesn’t matter if you twist it or not.”
Along with that laugh, Park Young-joon tapped the screen of the tablet PC, which was turned off, with his finger.
“There are many opportunities to advertise in the future. That’s why it’s all the more important to nail it in the first place. I don’t get anything I want, but things I can’t easily get with money, other than the market price.”
Park Young-joon’s expression as he spoke was full of confidence more than ever.
“Ignore the money. BJ Grand Mage has no interest in that.”
At the same time, the expression of enjoyment was evident.
“…. Don’t forget to inform advertisers. If you mess with it, go ask the BJ master mage.
From the point of view of the Ho-ga-howe fox, there is nothing more fun than borrowing the power of a tiger.
“president!”
At that time, another employee came up to Park Young-joon and said.
“I got an email from BJ Grand Mage.”
“okay? what?”
“The schedule remains the same…. I asked a question.”
“Question? What question?”
When an unexpected word appeared, Park Young-joon tilted his head, and a subordinate spoke to him.
“I asked a question about airtime.”
7.
[Your level has risen.]
Notifications that are always pleasant to hear.
However, instead of letting out a cheer of Midas’ joy upon hearing that sound, he covered his mouth with his right hand and put on a worried expression.
“It was a big deal.”
Then, as he looked at Lucky and Gold, his voice was clearly worried.
Lucky and Gold approached Midas.
Keeing… … .
“Do you have any problems, Master?”
Midas said seriously to Lucky and Gold, who approached and showed a worried expression.
“Because advertisers might boycott it if we catch Centaur Knight too soon.”
