What is the best marketing method?
There will be many arguments, but if you ask 10 people, about 4 of them will answer like this.
– Did you hear that rumor? I heard that BJ Grand Mage is giving a preview of the boss monster raid once again?
There is no better marketing than word of mouth.
Youngjun Park The marketing method he chose this time was word of mouth marketing.
The moment BJ Daemage’s OK sign came out and the moment the advertiser Gamma Pharmaceutical’s sign came out, he immediately started spreading rumors through all possible routes.
– Oh, I heard that too.
A twin-headed troll?
A multi-headed troll?
Was it after 3 days?
In 3 days, BJ Grand Mage will do a multi-headed troll raid and give advance notice!
Like the last time, we will put on another show!
All employees were mobilized to spread such rumors in the God Wars related community.
– Were there any rumors? Are you hearing this for the first time?
“Are there any rumors?”
And among those who spread the rumors, there was Park Young-joon himself.
“Yes. How hot these days!”
Even he himself spread word-of-mouth throughout the community with a microphone in his mouth without a break.
“There is a rumor that it will be released in advance through the Rising Star channel the day before. This is the news I heard because I am close with a high-ranking person on the Rising Star Channel.”
without a break.
In fact, it was a rather clumsy scene to watch.
“When I heard the story, the boss there was a graduate of the Wharton School and is a really handsome guy….
“Here, boss.”
“huh? why?”
“Will this really work?”
To the extent that one of his subordinates eventually threw a question without being able to hold back his doubts.
In response to such a question, Park Young-joon took his eyes off the bulletin board of the God Wars community, where he had been talking for a while.
“Of course, this word of mouth alone won’t work.”
yes?
You worked hard all day to spread word of mouth, but to no avail?
Park Young-joon said to the subordinate, who was surprised by the fact.
“Kim Min-soo said. Everything needs a plus.”
“A plus?”
“Do you know what goes well with word of mouth?”
“If I knew, I wouldn’t ask such questions.”
Park Young-joon laughed at the question of his subordinate.
“outflow.”
“A leak?”
“lets think. What would happen if word of mouth spreads that D-1 is giving advance notice, and that fact is leaked to D-2?”
With those words, Park Yeongjun smiled after checking the watch on his wrist.
“And today is D-2 day.”

[Scoop! Acquire BJ Grand Mage’s live schedule!]
[BJ Grand Mage once again announces the boss monster raid in advance!]
[BJ Grand Mage gives challengers a chance to take revenge!]
That was definitely shocking news.
No one expected that BJ Grand Mage, who had experienced such a tremendous event, would do the same thing again.
But the ripple effect of the news was greater than the shock
– the rumors were true!
– Wow!
The fluttering rumors turned out to be true.
– More than that, what did you do with the leak?
And what made it true was information leakage, which made people go wild.
– Wow, this must be a headache for the BJ master mage. It was announced two days ago, not a day before, right?
b I won’t be able to go according to the plan I prepared.
b it will be fun
Above all, the fact that the situation was twisted because of this made everyone more excited.
A situation where another happening is predicted.
As such, the whole world was excited about this news.
Only one was different.
“Inferno!”
Midas was not excited by such news and focused all his attention
on hunting trolls.
There was no way.
Isn’t it your own business, no one else’s?
‘Joo-hyeok was excitedly chatting in the break room, so my raid date must have been announced in advance.’
Even in the capsule room Midas goes to, there is a self-proclaimed best source who has no choice but to listen even if he doesn’t want to hear it.
Still, Midas ignored it.
‘This marketing is entirely up to the Rising Star channel.’
It was not up to Midas to know what marketing was and how to advertise.
‘All I have to do is catch the monster.’
Midas’ only role is to show the greatest success on the stage created by Rising Star Channel.
‘It’s two days from now.’
To that end, all he had to do now was to hunt monsters.
[You have killed the troll.]
Midas heard the notification he had been waiting for.
thud!
With that notification, the 5-meter-tall troll collapsed on top of the bodies of the two already fallen trolls.
That was the moment.
Whoa!
Standing in front of the fallen troll, Lucky stood up, pointed his muzzle at the sky, and let out a powerful howl.
[The power of the Shinjwa boils in Lucky’s body.]
[Lucky’s body changes.]
Then, with the notification that the time has come, Lucky’s body began to swell once again, howling.
The body, which had already been the size of a beast, was once again of a size that even the beast felt threatened.
[Choose Lucky’s new ability yourself.]
Soon after, the card appeared in Midas’ eyes with a notification.
Chapter 100.
Standing in front of the card that filled his eyes, Midas’ impression was one.
‘As expected, I’m lucky!’
Only six or seven red cards are visible right now!
Even those red cards were huddled together in one place, as if in a group.
In fact, it was an even more amazing sight.
If you gather like that, it means that the probability of getting a unique grade card increases if you choose a card nearby.
Midas’ eyes soon stopped in one place.
The moment he saw it, Midas reflected on himself.
Because the golden card that exudes a presence in that red glow told me.
‘No, it wasn’t Lucky, it was a cheat key.’
Lucky’s luck is only at the level that can be expressed with the word lucky.
“Okay Lucky. I trust you and play this game.”
Midas, who once again expressed his strong faith in Lucky, reached for the golden card.
‘uh?’
And the moment he checked the back of the card, Midas froze.
[Pier of Fenrir]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: Roar at the peer of Fenrir. The exposed target’s beneficial buff effect is temporarily suspended.
Pier of Fenrir.
‘My God, this is coming from here?’
One of the highest peaks among debuff skills.
Just like Lucky, it was a skill that allowed Lafog, who had the brains of Fenrir’s divine beast, and the Undead Guild led by him to rise from the 1st tier level to the 10th guild level at once.
Thanks to this skill, Rappo’s guild was able to gain an overwhelming advantage against anyone in PK as well as boss monster raids.
‘Stealth can also be temporarily canceled.’
Above all, the greatest strength of this skill was that it could make a skill that hides itself like stealth useless.
Of course, this skill was not released, but paused, and the pause time was about 2 minutes.
However, those two minutes are enough time to turn the tide of battle.
Of course, there was no hesitation.
Midas immediately chose the skill.
[Lucky has learned Fenrir’s Fear skill.]
Then, the moment he heard the notification, Midas approached Lucky, who grew bigger, and hugged him.
King God General Lucky, please take good care of me in the future.”
king!
At the owner’s words, Lucky barked briefly, as if telling him to trust only himself.
‘huh?’
It was only around that time that Midas could sense something strange.
‘Why is Gold so quiet?’
Gold, who would normally have expressed his loyalty in some way, was quiet.
At that fact, Midas untied his hands around Lucky’s neck and turned his head behind him.
Then I saw Gold standing on the ground more quietly and upright than ever before.
Memories flashed through Midas’ mind.
‘Did I get angry because I only took Lucky?’
In the meantime, the days that made me blunt toward Gold, who showed loyalty.
“You know what gold is? Do I like you?”
The moment that thought came to mind, Midas quickly turned to Gold and said with a bright smile.
“I will never hate you….
At that moment, Midas was able to find it.
‘huh?’
One question mark above Gold’s head.
![Balbon Saekwon]
!If you hunt 1,111 monsters of one type in a row, your loyalty will rise to level 5
! When your loyalty level rises to level 5, your stats will be strengthened and your combat abilities will be
improved
! You can learn new skills when you rise to a class.
Now, it is a sign that the time has come for gold to grow to another level.
It was good news.
‘It’s good news, but this news comes a little earlier.’
It would have been even better if it had been received along with Lucky’s.
Anyway, in front of the news, Midas shook his head.
Of course, there were no worries at this moment.
It is unacceptable to postpone the opportunity to improve your specs ahead of an important stage.
‘It’s not like catching 3 at the same time, but if you catch 1111… … ‘
It was clear what had to be done.
‘It’s possible if I hunt until the day of D-Day.’
There is simply no time to rest.
Okay, let’s go to the end once.”
Midas He started hunting again.
7.
When inside information leaks, you have one of two choices.
to stop or enforce.
Rising Star Channel’s choice was the latter.
The rising star channel uploaded a new video on its channel page on the day everyone expected, D-1.
The video was short.
A video of about 30 seconds made by combining parts of the previous BJ Grand Mage’s Twin Head Troll Raid video.
At the end of such a video, an object appeared on the black screen.
[Replay D-1 ]
As announced, this video will come out and the boss monster raid will start the next day.
– It’s a replay!
– As rumored, it’s another boss monster raid tomorrow!
advance notice.
Doing something that other players would not dare to do twice in a row against the same boss monster has never happened in the history of God Wars, and the world went wild with enthusiasm.
– If you hear rumors, the players who drank water last time are preparing for revenge this time?
– I received this kind of provocation at the time, but if I ignore it, that’s even more stupid.
– I’m going to intervene in some way.
And those who were humiliated last time warmed up their insides with a vengeance.
In such a situation, the day of D-Day was bright.
On the day of the pre-announced live.
Naturally, all the public’s attention was drawn to the BJ Archmage even there in the Troll Forest.
In particular, those who gathered under the name of ‘Revengers’, who were preparing to take revenge on the BJ Archmage, monitored the BJ Archmage while establishing a professional surveillance unit.
It was the same even now.
On the pre-announced date of D-Day, more than 10 players were watching him from a distance around BJ Grand Mage, who was hunting trolls.
“What is BJ Grand Mage doing now?”
“I hear you catch trolls?”
“okay?”
And what they watched was delivered in real time to the players who named the Avengers.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m catching trolls.”
“still?”
Naturally, those on standby were sensitive to that information.
The moment I felt something strange, I had to react immediately and move on.
How much more, isn’t the opponent BJ Grand Mage?
A situation where you don’t know what means and methods will come.
Because of this, those on standby repeatedly asked the observers about the status of the BJ archmage.
Of course, the information they received was the same.
“So what are you doing now?”
“Catch the troll.”
catch a troll
“Damn that bastard caught only trolls for three days and fell asleep!”
In the end, one person who received the report expressed his dissatisfaction without knowing it.
No one said anything about the complaint.
“Did the bastard troll of the BJ grand mage even steal his girlfriend? What troll are you holding like that?”
“It was also very tenacious.”
“Are you really trying to catch the boss monster? Shouldn’t we be waiting for regen and searching by now?”
Rather, everyone vomited out their dissatisfaction one by one.
He would be the same, since they started spying on BJ Archmage, the report they got was catching the troll, that was all.
Even now that it’s D-Day, and the twin head troll regen time is running out, we’re receiving reports like that.
“Are you really catching it? Isn’t it Gura?”
Eventually, someone raised a question, and a player in the corner opened up to that question.
“This is BJ Grand Mage’s strategy.”
Chutan’s words caught the attention of the audience, and Chutan continued to speak in the midst of their attention.
“BJ Grand Mage seems to move alone, but he never moves alone. The invisible help him. I have already thanked those who helped me in the past. Common sense wouldn’t it be possible for a BJ great mage to figure out and catch the boss monster’s respawn by himself?”
“That’s right, I wonder if he uses a hack to know where and when the boss appears.”
At that, Chutan nodded and continued talking.
“And one more BJ Grand Mage must be aware of our existence.”
“Us? Wasn’t the condition of joining the Revengers strict secrecy?”
“It’s a strict secrecy, but it can’t be helped that information is leaked from a group of more than 300 people. Right now, even on the Rising Star channel, this D-Day was leaked beforehand, right?”
“Indeed, it is. so? Are you saying that BJ Grand Mage is only catching trolls because of us?”
“It’s driving our minds off. Like it or not, when BJ Grand Mage moves, we have no choice but to focus on it. Hunting in particular is a much better way to buy time without arousing suspicion. While BJ Grand Mage draws attention, his helpers must be looking for the Twin Head Troll. As soon as they find it, BJ Grand Mage will move.”
Those who had been dissatisfied with Chutan’s explanation swallowed their complaints again.
Chutan said to them.
“So there is no need to fish there. In the end, what we have to do is to have the right to attack when the twin head troll is regenerated. And the moment he had it, more than 200 players would cling to him and kill him. Because that’s all it takes.”
It was then.
“BJ Grand Mage suddenly moves quickly!”
All the players waiting for the sudden report got up at the same time.
“The advance team moves first!”
“Give me a buff!”
Then, without panicking, he quickly executed the plan he had prepared.
There was also Chutan in it.
“Just wear a haste. move right away.”
“okay.”
Just like that, the moment Chutan caught only the haste buff, the breaking news came in again at that moment.
“BJ Grand Mage is gone! Missed it!”
At those words, Chutan frowned.
“Are you missing?”
“I missed it because it was so fast!”
It was a sound that the wizard player was too fast to miss, but no one questioned the sound.
It is already known that the movement speed of BJ Archmage is far beyond the level of the wizard.
Furthermore, BJ Grand Mage had it.
“Keep an eye out for the trolls around you, as they may have transformed into polymorphs.”
Polymorph That wonderful transformation magic.
Chutan, who gave the order, spoke to the other players who felt slightly embarrassed.
“Everyone moves. Regen time is just around the corner! No matter what BJ Archmage does, we just need to get the right to go first. We are stronger in terms of head count and search ability! Again, there is no reason to fight with BJ Tsushima! Just catch the twin-headed troll!”
Along with that cry, Chutan glanced at his chat window.
After confirming one of the two viewers seated in the chat window, Chutan made up his mind once again.
‘If this job is successful, I’m also a member of the Abyss Guild. If you just catch a twin-headed troll, you can become a member of the second group of the Abyss Guild.’
News came to him who was determined to do so.
“I found a twin-headed troll!”
The news left the audience in silence, and the one who had shouted into the silence shouted again.
We attacked first! I got the first pass!”
At the news, there was no more panic on the faces of the players gathered.
“I did it!”
“We fucked the BJ Archmage!”

Push!
With the sound of the capsule opening, Jung Hyeon-woo came out and headed straight to the counter.
Then, he took out a water bottle that had been stored in the commercial refrigerator next to the counter.
Jung Hyun-woo started drinking the expensive drink, which was made by Gamma Pharmaceuticals and was filled with all sorts of good ingredients, including caffeine for God Wars players, on the spot.
“brother!”
Lee Hyuk-ju, who discovered him, approached with a surprised expression.
“Jackpot case! It’s a big hit right now!”
The shape that brought great breaking news.
However, Jung Hyeon-woo went straight to the capsule instead of answering Lee Hyuk-ju’s words.
“I’m sorry, but I have something urgent today. Let’s hear what the jackpot is later.”
After saying that, I went inside the capsule.
Then one of the customers in the break room shouted.
“The Avengers entered the raid. Hey, it looks like the number of raids alone is over a hundred?”
“Are you going to finish this in no time?”
“Hyuk-ju, come quickly! This will be over soon!”
Lee Hyuk-ju looked at the capsule containing Jung Hyeon-woo and shook his head with an expression of regret at such a reaction in the break room.
‘Hyeonu-hyung is so unlucky that he can’t watch the jackpot event where the BJ great mage eats water in real time live.’
Then Lee Hyuk-ju thought as he turned his back and looked at the lounge.
‘Well, the most unlucky person today would be the BJ great mage.’
