Chapter 115. < Episode 37. Guardian's Legacy (2). >
4.
One of the difficult things about live broadcasting was the need for showmanship for the viewers.
From the viewer’s point of view, you need that showmanship to feel the meaning of watching a live broadcast.
Of course, the words were showmanship, but in the end it was a joke.
Midas’s Ghost Raid was like that.
To be honest, the fact that he deliberately greeted the viewers by saying that he would tank with showmanship, joked that he would use physical magic, and relaxed was not helpful in hunting.
Even contrary to the original plan, the appearance of the assassin made it impossible to use the eye magic from the beginning.
At that time, it took Midas 14 minutes to hunt down the Ghost.
If so, how much time will it take to hunt ghosts in earnest without such showmanship?
[You have killed the ghost.]
Now the answer has come.
‘6 minutes and 42 seconds.’
That it doesn’t even take 7 minutes.
‘This is enough if I give up on fun and focus only on hunting.’
And that was the level of power Midas had now.
A level where pro players and up-and-comers from renowned guilds can overwhelm ghosts that can only be caught by forming a party of at least 7 people.
“Not bad.”
The NPC Natarsa appeared in front of Midas after completing the test and briefly exclaimed.
“I never thought I would pass the exam so easily.”
[The title was obtained for those who passed Natarsa’s test.]
Midas lightly bowed his head at the notification that followed.
“It’s not that great.”
Of course, the intention was different from the words.
‘It’s not a joke.’
To be honest, what surprised me about this sight was Midas himself, not anyone else.
king!
“A hero never boasts of his majesty. My head is always bowed to the master’s humility!”
Through this Ghost Raid, I was able to feel how great the capabilities of Lucky and Gold were.
So Midas could speak clearly.
‘Here is the hole.’
That this party’s weakness is none other than himself.
Of course, there was no big problem when dealing with monsters.
Because monsters have patterns and strategy.
They’re designed to catch them.
The problem was that those who threatened Midas from now on were not of that type.
It’s not just a simple player, but people who really take pleasure in catching players on this floor and make it their business will come sooner or later.
Are they really unaware of Midas’ weakness?
‘Those who are aiming at me will notice that.’
I will go beyond the level of knowing that weakness and dig into it tenaciously.
‘In the first place, wizards have poor PVP abilities.’
In fact, even if it wasn’t that, the wizard class was the class that showed the biggest weakness in PVP as the level went up.
The lack of strength and stamina stats, of course, magic was a fatal weakness in PVP.
‘Even if the damage is great, it’s meaningless if I can’t hit it.’
That the magic accuracy rate goes down.
Right now, even with Midas, it was not easy to hit the player with throw-type magic like fireball, except for wide-area magic. How much more does it hit a player who is determined and thinks of avoiding it?
Against a player with a higher level than yourself and armed with all kinds of skills?
There weren’t many ways to cover this part.
‘I still have to find a way. I just can’t be taken lightly.’
Of course, that wasn’t a reason for Midas to turn a blind eye to his weakness now.
Even if you feel dirty and miserable, you have to look at your weaknesses to find a solution someday.
‘Let’s start with the basic specs.’
After a short thought, Midas looked straight at the NPC Natarsa.
“Now what can I do for you?”
In response to Midas’ question, NPC Natarsa lightly drew a large circle with her hand.
Beyond the circle drawn in this way, instead of the gorgeous scenery of the mirage forest, I saw a desolate forest.
A forest where withered trees are sparsely located on the dry and cracked ground.
NPC Natarsa entered the circle and motioned for Midas to enter.
At that gesture, Midas also entered the circle.
[You have achieved the title of the person who saw the true face of the Mirage Forest.]
Eventually, along with the notification that was heard, the NPC Natalsa spat out the words.
“This is the real look of this forest. In the first place, a place where only slime lives cannot be prosperous.”
‘It’s an opportunity.’
It was an opportunity.
“Why are you hiding this?”
‘I need to get information.’
During this quest, Midas realized for the first time that the abilities he had acquired did not work.
That’s why it’s important to acquire information through conversation and get clues to clearing the quest through that information.
Actually, that was normal.
In the first place, this main scenario quest wasn’t made for just one person to solve on their own.
Up until now, Midas had been able to attack easily thanks to his ridiculous abilities.
“I don’t know why this happened. I don’t even know who did this. But one thing is clear. It is not possible without the power of God to make this forest hide its true face for such a long time.”
At that moment, Midas felt it.
‘There’s a high possibility that something related to the nameless god is here.’
that someday I will come here again.
“What did the power of a nameless god do to make Lady Natarsa like that?”
NPC Natar answered the question that followed.
“We’re not close enough to talk about that.”
With those words, the NPC Natalsa stopped moving.
It wasn’t hard to see why.
An arm was lying in front of the place where the NPC Natarsa stopped.
An arm that was still bloody as if it had been cut from the body of a living person a moment ago.
Midas’ eyes narrowed when he saw it.
And soon, Midas’ pupils widened.
‘oh my god.’
because I saw
“It is my arm. Let me touch you.”
In response to those words, Midas did not ask useless questions.
He put his hand on his arm, more surprised than ever.
Flash!
At that moment, the arms collapsed into fragments of light, and only translucent gloves remained in the place where the light disappeared.
[You have obtained the Guardian’s Gloves.]
The identity of the gloves is the Guardian’s Gloves, the reward for this quest.
“Proof that I was a Guardian.”
NPC Natarsa gave a short explanation about him, but Midas couldn’t hear it.
[Guardian’s Gloves]
– Grade: Legendary
– Wearable level: 95 or higher
– Protector Natarsa’s gloves. The mysterious ability of the guardian raises the user’s potential.
– Strength +55
– Stamina +49
– Intelligence +187
– Magic +113
– Attack Power +13
– Casting Speed +10%
– All Magic Cooldown -10%
– Magic Projectile Speed +40%
– Bind when Learned (Untradable)
Because the visible option took away the spirit of Midas.
Among them, the most surprising was the magic projectile speed increase option.
The meaning of that option was like a pitcher’s velocity.
The concept of speeding up fireballs thrown by wizards.
In God Wars, it was an option that could only be improved through extremely limited skills.
‘Nonsense, isn’t this a revolver skill option?’
Skills like revolver for example.
“Now that I’ve got the gloves, it’s time to get my headband next.”
To Midas who was so surprised, NPC Natarsa gave the next task.
“I won’t say much. Go to the troll forest. Find the three-headed troll’s nest there. my head will be there
[A new quest has been added to the main scenario quest list.]
Only then did Midas come to his senses and said.
“Yeah, let’s go right away. It’s okay. You said you have a head, right? We will find it right away.”
The face of Midas teasing his back like that was brighter than ever.
‘Yes, there is no business in front of the temp.’
It was the look of finding an answer.
5.
“Yes, I see. Then let’s discuss it.”
A voice that is not too friendly.
However, the expression on Park Young-joon’s face as he spit out the words and watched his words appear as text messages on the chat window was colder than ever.
“It’s okay, I’ll let you know in advance this time.”
Eventually, after the chat, Park Young-jun kept his mouth shut and tapped my head with his fingers.
Serious atmosphere to look at.
“Hey boss, did things go wrong?”
In that atmosphere, a subordinate employee cautiously asked a question.
Park Young-joon did not answer the question right away.
Instead, I tapped my temples with my fingers a few more times, while the subordinate asked another question.
“You said you couldn’t pay me?”
Only then did Park Young-joon open his mouth as if he had finished his thoughts.
“No, he said he would give me a reward.”
“A familiar skill card?”
“Yeah, I’m happy that you liked this surprise show.”
“Is it great?”
At that fact, the subordinates tilted their heads.
If you just hear the story, isn’t there a better jackpot than this?
“Then I made a request.”
“yes?”
“The client, Gamma Pharmaceuticals, said they liked this surprise and made a new request.”
“A new request?”
It was only then that the subordinate could guess that something was going on strangely.
“Next time, can you show us a scene where we pass through the intruders and succeed in the boss monster raid?”
“ah.
And the moment he heard that, the subordinate could understand why Park Young-joon was making such a face.
“Then why go into the fire on purpose?”
There is nothing hotter than an intrusion on a boss monster live broadcast.
However, no player is welcome to intrude.
Wasn’t the biggest reason for reluctance to do live broadcasting in the first place to reduce the risk of intrusion?
But do you do it intentionally?
It wasn’t difficult to do.
“To be precise, he must have asked for a provocation after announcing the date of killing the boss monster in advance.”
When will I hunt the boss monster.
So anyone who wants to interfere is welcome.
We’ll give you a 1+1 chance to catch the BJ Archmage wearing more expensive items than the Boss Monster!
If you say that, everyone will attack you.
“This is crazy.”
Of course, no player would do such a thing.
“There are a lot of people who are aiming to become a BJ master mage, but if you do that, you won’t even be able to catch the boss monster, right? Besides, you’re on a very important quest, aren’t you? There’s no reason to get caught up in something like that, right?”
Park Young-joon responded to the subordinate’s fierce protest.
“You don’t think I don’t know that, so you don’t bother to tell me about it, do you?”
It was obvious, but Park Young-joon was well aware of that fact.
Honestly, looking at the content of the request itself, it was not worth worrying about.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just say no? Didn’t you say that your proposal was doubtful anyway?”
It was right to decline this offer.
“If I told BJ the great mage, would he tell me to fuck him? What’s wrong with that nobleman?”
No, there was no reason for BJ Grand Mage to accept it.
“Revolver skill card.”
“yes?”
“A revolver skill card as a quest reward.”
However, in front of the reward that followed, the thinking of the subordinate had no choice but to stop.
“He said he would give you a revolver skill card instead of that familiar skill card if you accept this request, since you won’t need a familiar skill card anyway. To put it simply, ask if you want to go with a double.”
The subordinates were troubled by the explanation that followed.
It was quite a thing.
revolver.
In God Wars, that skill was one of the dream skills for wizards.
It was a skill that maximized the power of the six throwing magic to an unbelievable level.
In particular, the attractiveness of the projectile speed increase option was enormous.
“The revolver skill card…. I’ve never traded on G-Bay… …
What was most surprising was that the skill had never been traded on G-Bay until now.
An offer too big to refuse.
“In addition, there is no success or failure in terms of payment.”
“yes?”
“They say it will be given even if you can’t catch the boss monster.”
The moment he heard the terms of the offer, the subordinate responded without hesitation.
“Then we must call!”
In response, Park Yeongjun frowned instead of answering.
‘No matter who sees Cole, this is a trap.’
One of the things Park Young-joon felt throughout his life was that there is no case in this world where an irresistible offer is made without reason.
Moreover, even if you fail?
‘I’m telling you to fail.’
In fact, it was the same as meaning that the person who gave the request hoped for failure.
Paying a high price is only when you achieve what you really want, so it was common to ask for more stringent conditions.
‘It’s a business where the revolver skill card remains as long as the game is over.’
If you go deeper, it also meant that those who gathered around a scenario centered on BJ Grand Mage were not normal.
‘Azmo’s appearance is probably a sign. There’s no way Azmo just threw out a scenario without any meaning. Since pressure is coming, it must be a threat against that pressure. A concept like I’ll release the scenario if I have to, and I’ll make this version a mess.’
A subordinate said to Park Young-joon, who was worried like that.
“So what are you going to do?”
“We need to talk first.”
“Like last time?”
Are you going to hide the reward like last time?
At that question, Park Young-joon shook his head.
“The number of cases is too large. If I hide the reward in the middle, maybe the other side can contact BJ Archmage without going through us.
“They don’t know the identity of BJ Archmage, right?”
“It’s not even a matter of sending a note through G-Bay.”
“Oh, yes.”
“If that happens, we will be in trouble. From the standpoint of BJ Grand Mage, there is no way to trust those who hide the rewards.”
“then….
When it came to that point, the subordinate had only one question.
“Will BJ Grand Mage accept this request?”
What is the intention of the BJ master mage?
The subordinate who asked the question clearly looked more excited than ever.
It was worth it.
“What is certain is that if we perform live according to this request, it will not be about 1 million people, but a huge number.”
It was clear that if the story continued like this, the public’s interest would be higher than ever.
In particular, isn’t it already intruded?
Does it create a stage where you can intrude in such a situation?
I’m sure there won’t be more than 10 players with this kind of distribution throughout God Wars.
“Yeah, it’s no joke.”
That was the real reason Park Young-joon was worried.
‘That’s why the BJ Great Mage is more likely to call out.’
Looking at BJ Grand Mage’s progress so far, he has never avoided or compromised anything that stands in his way.
Therefore, there was a high possibility that he would rather break this provocation head-on.
Just in time, he got a call.
“BJ Grand Mage sent me a video file.”
A new subordinate informed him of the news, and Park Young-joon turned his head at the news.
“Did you send it just now?”
“Yes, just now.”
“That means sending the video is out of the game right now, right? Just send me one quick email.”
“Mail?”
“I want to talk.”
Park Young-joon gave the answer.
‘I have no choice but to convince him not to do it after I tell him.’
I have to somehow convince the BJ Grand Mage not to accept the request.
Only after that did Park Young-joon ask a question.
“Rather than that, what video did you send?”
What video did BJ Grand Mage send?
“that is…. This is the Ghost Solo Kill video.”
“What bullshit? Didn’t you get the Ghost Solo Kill video the other day?”
“that is…. This time, it is called the strict and serious version.”
There was no further conversation in response.
There are just people with dumbfounded faces.
