Chapter 150. < Episode 47. Subjugation (3). >

Subjugation.
The method of this system prepared for players who came to Red Mountain was very simple.
Players who applied for quests are randomly combined into a party of 40 considering their jobs.
And hunting in the red mountain for an hour with the party that was combined like that.
It wasn’t really a problem with the system.
[You have joined the subjugation party. All EXP gained in Red Mountain increases by 20%.]
Rather, the Subjugation Quest had its own merits in terms of acquiring EXP.
By this point, most of them had doubts.
The punitive squad system seems to be fine, but why do other players dismiss this system as dog trash?
The answer to that question could be known by coming to the scene of the fierce battle at Red Mountain.
“Ah, it’s time for that capsule room.”
“yes? No, how long has it been since the subjugation started… … .
“I have work, so I’m leaving.”
“What is that…. .
“I have to go home and do my Kumon homework.”
First of all, there were frequent cases in which members of the punitive squad suddenly left.
“…. The two tanks have left, so the rest of you can refer to it.”
“No, if two tanks are missing, you have to change your tactics. What is the reference?”
“What kind of neighborhood book is a tanker? Do you think I was a tank to get hit like this?”
And it was impossible to properly deal with the problems caused by such departure.
“Hey, let’s not fight.”
“Okay, let’s just go safely.”
“Let’s not die.”
In the end, in such a situation, the members of the subjugation team had no choice but to play sparingly.
And there was no way that proper results would come out while sacrificing the body like that.
“Is it true that you hunted for an hour and caught 100 goblins?”
The members of the subjugation party, who had the results that were not as good as those of Anani, naturally regret the subjugation.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have just waited for a seat at the party, but I only paid for the capsule room!”
And that regret culminated when they saw another party playing on the same field as them.
The players of the subjugation party hunting in Red Mountain were like that.
“Wow, the party over there just wipes out the goblins.”
They started to let out frustrations and sighs at the same time as they watched the party wipe out the Red Goblin group at a speed that was close to them but refused to compare with them.
“Damn, I wish I could go to a party like that.”
“Wow, the number is 40. very determined… … huh? wait?”
Of course they soon realized.
“40 people? Have a regular party? Aren’t that number members of the subjugation team?”
“No, the subjugation team also starts with 40 people, so there are absolutely no cases where 40 people run full-time, right?”
That it’s not an ordinary party.
“Wait, does that look like a wolf? Lucky?”
“werewolf? Werewolf? gold?”
“Oh there! Is the thing on top of BJ Grand Mage’s head a jackpot?”
“That’s the BJ Grand Mage.”
10.
“Stop!”
“Just hold on!”
The 10 tankers who built a wall with shields in front of them shouted at the same time, and as if in response, the group of Red Goblins coming towards them also shouted.
Mee eh eh!
Hey hey!
A battle situation where you can feel the fierceness just by listening to the sound.
[Casting has been completed.]
However, the fierce-looking battle turned into a completely different picture the moment the player at the rear moved.
Perong!
The moment the fire spear thrown by that player touched the goblin archer in the distance, the goblin archer trembled and fell to the ground.
[You have killed the Red Goblin Archer.]
One-hit kill.
No matter how much Red Goblin had more HP than other monsters, it was a sight that was hard to see. What was more surprising was what came next.
Perong!
Ice spears and lightning spears flew in succession after the flame spear that flew again, killing six Red Goblin archers in one go.
Even that wasn’t the end.
Perong!
The fireball that followed also killed the Red Goblin with a single shot.
Perong!
In the blink of an eye, the ranged dealers of the Red Goblin group are virtually wiped out.
“The goblin rangers are dead, so push in!”
“Just catch the guys in front!”
It was the moment when the tankers feared the most was the disappearance of unknown attacks from far away.
Naturally, at that moment, the tankers did not have the slightest hesitation in advancing.
And so did the melee dealers.
“If you block the stormtroopers, I’ll jump right out and catch you.”
“okay!”
He looked more excited than ever.
It was a rare sight to see in the subjugation party, which was busy saving themselves.
Of course, the ones who were most excited were the ranged dealers of the archers and mages subjugation party.
“Kyaa, how long has it been since you just put in a stake like this?”
“You want this taste.”
There was nothing sweeter than doing damage dealing in a situation where the tank was giving butter.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Unfortunately, however, the time for them to feel that sweetness was not very long.
“It’s Lucky-sama and Gold-sama!”
Two wolves howled and rushed at the Red Goblin captain who was hiding in the empty rear.
Krrr!
[The Red Goblin Captain reveals his true identity.]
In front of the two wolves that appeared, the Goblin Captain revealed his true colors and prepared for battle.
It was then.
couw!
A Red Goblin archer fell alive on top of the Red Goblin captain.
Turn it off!
The Red Goblin captain reacted in surprise at the sudden drop attack.
Kwang!
Kwang!
In the meantime, Lucky and Gold, who had already approached, began biting the leader goblin one-sidedly.
[The Red Goblin captain has been defeated.]
[All the Red Goblins’ stats are reduced.]
[The Red Goblins are confused.]
The members of the subjugation party shouted in surprise at the notification they heard.
“It’s really terrifying. It just kills the captain like a normal monster!”
“I got game over the other day trying to catch the captain…. .
A sight that is not enough to describe it as overwhelming.
A sight that will leave you in awe and surprise at the same time.
‘Write.’
However, Midas, who was looking at the scene, did not show a particularly pleased expression.
It was definitely an overwhelming sight.
Even Midas did not deny that fact.
‘Just securing a tank line makes a difference to my strength.’
The firepower he’s showing now is definitely more powerful than ever he’s ever shown.
‘But the level-up efficiency is too low.’
However, the speed at which he acquired economic value was at an absurd level compared to the level-up pace that Midas had experienced so far.
‘Well, even if I received a 20% buff, 40 people shared it, but if the experience was good enough, they all subjugated.’
That’s why the number of punitive squad members was too many compared to the number of Red Goblins they faced.
It wasn’t that the players with good skills reduced their number to the elite members and focused on hunting for no reason.
Above all, the level of the current members was below average, no matter what.
‘If I had played in a party with an elite tier 1 guild, it would have been twice as fast as this.’
Even with the same 40 people, if someone with skills joins them, a bolder and faster hunt will be possible.
‘If I had done it alone, the level-up pace would have been more than three times the current level, even if the number of heads I caught decreased.’
Of course, if you can play solo, that would be the best.
[The subjugation team quest ends.]
[The number of Red Goblins you hunted for an hour is 812.]
After completing the calculation in her head, Midas heard a notification announcing the end of the quest.
“Wow, 812? This is my first time.”
“Crazy, is this a possible number?”
“what? I think you’re just breathing?”
Then, exclamations filled with surprise flowed from all over the place.
He let out such an exclamation and gradually turned his gaze toward Midas.
Midas said at that gaze.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
‘Ah, I’ll have to do this at least 5 more times.’
In response to Midas’ words, anyone in the audience please party with us! didn’t say
He would have begged if he hadn’t.
‘There’s a difference of this much, but I think I’ll be embarrassed to play the game if I party.’
However, the firepower shown by Midas and the combat power shown by Lucky and the Gold Jackpot prevented him from even begging.
One of the bravest ones asked a question.
“Are you going to continue the subjugation team quest?”
To that question, Midas answered without much hesitation.
“Yes, I should. Isn’t it a place where you can’t do it alone?”
‘If I can’t play solo even after completing the quest, I have no choice but to play in a party.’
From Midas’ point of view, it was just a bluff.
But those who heard it were different.
Their expressions changed.
‘Then you’re saying that if you do well, you’ll get caught next time, right?’
‘This is a great opportunity.’
Shortly thereafter, news spread throughout the Red Mountain.
“Hey, great event! BJ Grand Mage subjugation quest continues!”
11.
BJ Grand Mage is doing a subjugation quest!
A rumor that everyone evaluated as nonsense.
– I party like BJ Tsushima Love. Attached certification.
– A hug shot with Lucky!
– A hug shot with Gold!
– Put it on Jackpot’s head and shoot!
– I just took a picture of BJ Grand Mage from a distance.
However, in the face of the sudden pouring of evidence, the public’s reaction to the story was bound to change.
– I’m currently doing a subjugation with BJ Grand Mage!
– Do you see Lucky over there? Lucky!
– Gold saw me!
– There is BJ Grand Mage! Oh, you’re not really curious? You want me to show you Lucky?
Afterwards, the atmosphere changed as soon as some players showed the process through live broadcasting.
– Wow, are you doing a real subjugation quest?
Everyone was amazed.
excited at the same time.
– Crazy! Then you can do a party play with BJ Tsushima now?
– The word is party, isn’t this just a red mountain safari experience?
It was extremely rare for a star player to get along with a regular player.
– Wow, wouldn’t it suck to just take pictures while hunting normally?
– I’m glad if you can say it with words. There are also cases where you hire members of the Explorers’ Guild and just catch them silently.
– I also control the hunting grounds.
– The other day, a guy whose name I don’t even know went into control of the hunting grounds for a live broadcast from Red Mountain, and almost got into a fight. Was it a guy named Asoda? You’re a stupid bastard who only spends money.
It is not uncommon, but there are many cases in which star players block contact with ordinary players to block variables.
In a sense, it was natural for the public to give a favorable evaluation to BJ Grand Mage’s actions.
Of course, not everyone was thinking in such a good way.
some questioned.
Why did BJ Grand Mage, who had been playing solo until now, start party play at Red Mountain?
Actually, the answer to that was obvious.
“You must have reached the limit. It is almost impossible to play solo from Red Mountain.”
At Merlin’s words, Emma nodded.
“If I ask for a solo play here, it will fail.”
At Merlin’s next words, Emma nodded her head.
“So I guess I should suggest a solo raid request.”
However, Emma did not nod at the words that followed.
Instead of being embarrassed or surprised by Emma’s appearance, Merlin continued talking as if he had expected it.
“In that case, BJ Archmage will come up with a counter-proposal that we should play a party, and if we do party play, all of his plans and movements will be figured out. Rather than praying to catch him, you will be able to plan.”
To that, Emma answered with her mouth instead of a gesture.
“You know that.”
“No matter what we do, the essence of the fact that BJ Grand Mage needs to get a game over to make it easier on our side doesn’t change. That’s why Emma didn’t tell you about the request earlier.”
Emma, I know your intentions well.
So no explanation needed.
“So on the Rising Star Channel? What kind of attitude or response is coming towards the request?”
So Merlin asked for a plan he had prepared instead of a futile explanation, and Emma answered the request.
“The answer came. I’ll check the order. So, we sent the contents of our request.”
With the words, Emma turned the laptop she was looking at in the direction of Merlin, and showed the contents of the email that appeared on it.
“The contents of the request are the Red Goblin Chief Raid…. You split the options for solo play and party play into two.”
two proposals.
Seeing the proposal, Merlin opened his mouth.
“Well, the choice over there is obvious, but”
12.
[End of the subjugation team quest.]
[The number of Red Goblins you hunted for an hour is 912.]
A notification that the quest is over.
“Thank you, BJ Grand Mage!”
“Thanks for the flight!”
At the words of the members behind the notification, Midas nodded lightly and said,
“Yes, thank you.”
After uttering those short words, Midas sighed inwardly.
‘Ah, the fatigue is high, but the level up doesn’t go well.’
The time spent on the game remains the same, but the rate at which experience points are acquired decreases.
From the players’ point of view, it was inevitable that the fatigue would be thicker.
‘I can’t go on like this forever.’
In order to continue to grow in the future, it is definitely a way to get out of the orbit now.
‘So please.’
So, beyond expectations, Midas turned his head with a prayerful heart.
Whoa!
Then, I saw Lucky, who howled and started evolving.
At that appearance, the attention of the left was also drawn.
“uh? what?”
“How is Lucky?”
“Evolution? Evolution! While everyone
was mesmerized by this amazing sight, a notification sounded in Midas’ ears.
[The power of the divine throne boils in Lucky’s body.]
[Lucky’s body changes.]
[You choose Lucky’s new ability yourself.]
With that notification, 100 cards were revealed in front of Midas’ eyes.
And a few people who noticed it shouted.
“Skill card selection!”
“Lucky-sama, learning a new skill!”
hot interest.
However, Midas did not pay any attention to that interest and focused on his eyes.
‘I really hit the jackpot this time… … uh?’
After examining the 100 cards that appeared, Midas’ expression immediately hardened.
Of course, the moment when the expression hardened was a moment.
Soon, Midas, who had a relaxed expression as usual, immediately chose a skill card.
Everyone was surprised to see it.
“Wow, I just choose without hesitation.”
“If it were me, I would have spent a day choosing cards.”
“As expected, I’m a BJ great mage.”
I admired the BJ master mage who chose the card without hesitation.
And some asked
“BJ Grand Mage, what skill did you come up with?”
“Did anything good come out?”
Midas laughed at that question.
“We will show that later on the air. If you reveal too much, there will be no broadcast material, right?”
There were no more questions about that look.
“What skill do you want to come out of?”
just talking among themselves.
“It would be great if something like Gareum’s shadow came out.”
“Shadow of Gareum? A skill to summon a shadow alter ego?”
“Ah, isn’t that a legendary skill with no brains?”
“Right, can’t something like that just come out? No matter how lucky you are, will something like that just pop out of nowhere?
That was the moment.
“Is that so, BJ Grand Mage? Could you please come out with something like that?”
Midas answered the question that arose at that moment.
“yes? haha that’s right If that kind of thing comes out easily, there’s no way this game is a game of luck, right? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The answer mixed with a slightly awkward laugh.
