Chapter 175. < Episode 56. Upper extremity (2). >

Issue marketing has been the most frequently used marketing method since ancient times.
It was the same with God Wars.
Players who broadcast used every means and methods to become an issue ahead of the live broadcast.
The problem is that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
If the content of the live broadcast was insufficient compared to the public interest, the headwind was indescribable.
This is why issue making is called a double-edged sword.
– Hey, did you watch the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage?
Of course, BJ Grand Mage was an exception.
– Of course I did!
b It wasn’t a joke.
ㄴ Didn’t you just finish Ice Knight with fireballs?
ㄴThe last time I hit it with a fireball, it was awesome.
Whoever saw it live is the winner.
ㄴ Damn, let’s advertise this in advance!
BJ Daemage showed results that transcended issues.
It didn’t even end there.
– I heard that the next broadcast is a gold special?
– BJ Grand Mage can use a boss monster as a guardian, right? So, is the ice knight also a guardian? Isn’t that a scam then?
– Wouldn’t it be a real joke if you set up the items properly?
– I heard that Azmo gave me the item? Aren’t you raiding Legendary?
At that time, the result of the broadcast became a huge issue, raising expectations for the next broadcast.
In particular, the public paid more attention to the fact that it was a gold special.
It was natural.
“It is true that BJ Grand Mage is great and special, but there is nothing new. Azmo has most of his skills, Merlin has it, and Gustav has it, right?”
It is true that most of BJ’s magic has already been revealed to the world through many star players.
“Compared to that, gold is different. Everything is the beginning and the first.”
On the other hand, what Gold showed was something no one had ever shown, not even the likes of Azmo.
Of course, in a big way, BJ’s guardian magic is special, but it was natural that the public’s attention was extraordinary anyway.
“I assure you, the number of viewers for the Gold special broadcast will be more than the number of viewers for the BJ Grand Mage broadcast. In the first place, half of those viewers were lucky and half were gold. Anyway, it would be really interesting if the audience for the Gold broadcast was higher than that of BJ Grand Mage.”
For that reason, people expected Gold to go beyond the presence of BJ the great mage.
“Don’t you think Hyunwoo-hyung is like that too?”
“Yeah, it’s going to be so much fun.”
Even Jeong Hyeon-woo, the party involved, could not deny such a situation.
‘shit.’
And that fact made Jung Hyeon-woo worry.
‘I didn’t think about it before and after to end the broadcast, but I didn’t expect it to grow like this.’
It was good when the story about gold first came out.
But there is a degree to everything.
‘No, getting bigger is good, but isn’t this too big?’
Now, the situation was far beyond that.
“I heard that you fight the snow monsters 100 to 1?”
“There is a saying that you fight one-on-one with the Ice Knight.”
In fact, the expectations and desires of the fans were at an absurd level even when Jung Hyun-woo heard them.
“From what I hear, they are preparing to show us how to fight and win against BJ Tsushima.”
“okay?”
“Well, since BJ Grand Mage does some tanking, it will be worth watching.”
“Do you really think that’s what you hear?”
Jeong Hyeon-woo, who watched such ridiculous rumors being born in real time, closed his eyes tightly.
‘If you do it wrong, it will backfire.’
I didn’t know that the aforementioned issue marketing day would hit me.
Anyway, from Jung Hyeon-woo’s point of view, the instep was on fire.
‘At least the weapon should be equipped with Legendary.’
First of all, it was clear that no matter what the outcome was, BJ Grand Mage had to show that he did his best.
Just like Jung Hyeon-woo thought, he had to equip Gold with at least a legendary weapon so that he could at least make an excuse later.
‘That’s also the most expensive one.’
It wasn’t just a legendary item, it needed something that made a sound.
And there was only one such item at the moment.
‘Then there is only Black Claymore.’
Black Claymore.
It is evaluated as the most expensive and most powerful among the 165 level Legendary grade items, and it is the dream of professions who use swords of that level. As much as it was a romance, the price was enormous.
It was also an item with few items for sale.
Usually, this item was owned by a guild rather than an individual, and the guild treated it as an asset within the guild and used this item for lending to talented prospects.
From the guild’s point of view, it’s like a mercantile base.
For that reason, it was also an item that cost more than the original value when it was traded in a hurry.
‘There’s nothing I can’t buy with the money I save… … .’
Of course, now that Jung Hyeon-woo had accumulated a lot of money, there was nothing he couldn’t buy if he wanted to buy it.
But a person who has spent money knows how to spend it.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
It was hard to even imagine by the standards of Jeong Hyeon-woo, who had never spent money properly before.
How much more do you pay for it?
It’s not a level that’s hard to imagine, but a level that I don’t want to imagine.
Because of this, Jung Hyeon-woo thought at this point.
‘Should I rather ask the Undead Guild for a Black Claymore as a reward?’
Currently, Jung Hyeon-woo has not confirmed the exact reward he will receive from the Undead Guild, so let’s ask for a Black Claymore as a reward.
However, this too was not an easy problem.
“More than that, what do you get paid from the Undead Guild? A blank check? Can I ask for anything?”
“I heard that you are fighting over it right now?”
“Fight? why?”
“Didn’t the live broadcast fizzle out at the end? From the perspective of the Undead Guild, it’s only a tackle girl.”
It is clear that the ending of the live broadcast at the time was an unexpected ending.
It was something to be dissatisfied with from the Undead Guild’s point of view.
And it wouldn’t be strange if he didn’t pay the reward smoothly because of the complaint.
Asking for a black claymore in that situation?
‘I don’t know if I won’t give you what I was going to give you.’
Even if the sarcasm was hurt, the possibility of a fight was strong.
In the end, there was only one thing Jeong Hyeon-woo could do at this moment.
‘I can’t help it. For now, I have no choice but to do as much as I can on my own.’
Jung Hyeon-woo got up from his seat for that one.

[Midas]
– Level: 146
– Constellation: Word Dragon
– Occupation: Great Mage
– Ability: Strength (5+81 5)/Stamina (5+801)/Intellect (636+1401)/Magic Power (151+1221)
– Remaining stats: 0
Midas, who was looking at his abilities, nodded lightly.
‘As expected, this is the only answer.’
After that, Midas turned his head and put his hand on one of the three cards he could see.
[You have acquired the power of an unknown wizard.]
[Your latent ability is activated.]
[Your casting speed has been permanently increased by 4%.] Increased
casting speed. That was the choice Midas chose.
‘The stats and resilience are good, but in the long run, this is the best.’
A choice for later rather than immediate merit.
After making that choice, Midas let out a long sigh.
Normally, I laughed at this fact and said, “It’s like a lucky game,” and that’s why I love this game! He must have filmed an episode with Lucky and Cont while spitting out a joke.
But Midas couldn’t afford that right now.
‘I don’t have much time.’
The time given to him right now is three days at the longest.
Within those three days, Midas had to finish all preparations for the Gold special broadcast.
Also, I had to prepare everything by myself.
‘It’s something I did.’
The cause of all these troubles is no one else’s, but Midas’s own mistake.
That’s why Midas definitely made up his mind.
‘You shouldn’t expect help from the Rising Star Channel. I have to solve it on my own.’

“I want black claymore.”
At Park Young-joon’s words, Rising Star Channel staff pricked their ears.
‘Wow, it’s loud as expected.’
‘Black Claymore is something that can’t even be traded, right? The Undead Guild only has two at most, right?’
The staff who listened so thought.
‘Isn’t this an excessive suggestion?’
‘The ending ended like that, but I don’t think the Undead Guild will hand it over to me… … .’
Park Young-joon made an unreasonable proposal, so the Undead Guild wouldn’t accept the offer right away.
It was as expected.
– I’ll be honest. Currently, the Undead Guild is dissatisfied with the process of proceeding with the quest. I am particularly dissatisfied with the ending part. For that reason, we cannot accept your offer right away.
I can’t give you that.
– So, how about finding the point of contact that both sides want through negotiations?
So let’s negotiate.
Park Yeong-joon, who confirmed the content of the extremely polite chat, nodded once and said.
“Black Claymore.”
Now it’s not even an expression, just the words you want.
– yes?
At that sudden move, a question popped up on the chat window that I didn’t know why.
In response to that question, Park Young-joon spoke again.
“Black Claymore.”
– Wait a minute Are you having problems with chat right now?
“Black Claymore.”
– Doesn’t sound like a problem. I’ll say it again. As I said earlier, I am dissatisfied with the contents of the request. So, negotiating the pay… … .
“Black Claymore.”
– You’re so rude. If this continues, we have no choice but to close the negotiating table.
Gearco, the other person expressed his anger, and the moment he confirmed the expression, Park Young-joon said.
“Oh good. Close the negotiating table. No, how about just making this request itself not exist?”
– yes?
At that response, the officials of the Undead Guild as well as the Rising Star staff all showed a look of astonishment.
It’s like a bomb dropped right in front of you.
However, Park Young-joon, who dropped the bomb, said with a calmer expression than ever before.
“The Undead Guild expressed dissatisfaction with the request process and refused to pay the reward. We apologize to the Undead Guild for this to happen. The timing of the announcement will be made during the next gold special broadcast.”
Park Yeongjun, who continued to speak like that, raised the corner of his mouth.
“Well, the Black Claymore can be obtained by BJ Archmage at his own expense. From the perspective of BJ Grand Mage, it is money that can be earned just by talking to Azmo-san through live broadcasting. So, is the story over?”
– Now, wait a minute.
Park Young-joon, who confirmed the reaction of the Undead Guild officials to his words, laughed.
‘It’s obvious.’
The moment the live broadcast ended in an unexpected way, Park Young-joon expected that the Undead Guild would not obey the requirements.
I didn’t think it would pay off itself.
Because the Undead Guild wasn’t a guild that didn’t have that much money.
‘When they give, even if they do, they will just not give.’
Instead, I thought that they would ask for merit in future contracts under the pretext of paying compensation.
‘Where to negotiate.’
From Park Young-joon’s point of view, it was laughable.
As Park Young-jun said earlier, there was nothing to regret without the Black Claymore.
In case of emergency, BJ Daemage can purchase it at his own expense.
‘This is a version where you have to pay something like a black claymore to re-enter after exiting.’
Above all, those who are interested in BJ Grand Wizard, including the Undead Guild, were not just for profit.
They are the ones who gathered to soak their feet early in anticipation that this board will grow bigger in the future.
In other words, from their point of view, the most fearful thing was to be kicked out of this game.
And in the hands of Park Young-joon, he had the right to choose and decide who was to be expelled.
One thing Park Young-jun did now was to properly acknowledge that fact to the Undead Guild.
Above all, Park Young-joon already knew.
‘And you guys from the Undead Guild also made good money by selling the advertising rights they got this time, right?’
That the Undead Guild had signed a very strong long-term contract with that company in return for giving the advertising rights it obtained this time to another company.
– great. We’ll send it to you.
And the officials of the Undead Guild, who recognized the fact, quickly surrendered.
He seems to have realized that there is nothing good to be done by acting up his guts now.
“Thank you for accepting the unreasonable request. It was a good deal.”
Park Young-joon expressed his gratitude for that fact.
– Instead, the next quest… … .
“If you send us a proposal, we will consider it. have a good day.”
Then, before the conversation with the other party got too long, he quickly ended the transaction.
After that, he opened a new chat window and said.
“This is the Rising Star Channel. Thank you for waiting. I have something to deal with.”
– no.
“Rather than that, BJ Grand Mage took an interest in the proposal you gave me the other day. Since it was Azmo-san’s suggestion, he confirmed it right away.
The target of this transaction is Azmo.
– That’s good.
“Whether or not to accept the request will likely come out during the gold special broadcast. How is it?”
– Then I can only thank you.
“It will be a good issue. Since everyone is surprised by Gold’s performance, the publicity effect will be great. Besides, isn’t this reward a gift for gold? The synergistic effect would be stronger. isn’t it? Not to mention, a set of swordsmen would be really awesome.”
– you’re right.
Unlike the previous Undead Guild, such a conversation took place in a very favorable atmosphere.
Of course, that mood didn’t last long.
“But now that I think about it, don’t you think it would have a bigger impact if you wore the items prepared for the gold in that special broadcast?”
– yes?
“Isn’t it? Even a child can tell that gold wearing a swordsman’s set will perform much better than gold without it, right?”
Then the atmosphere changed.
– Are you asking for the commission fee in advance?
“I want to see it big. If you pay in advance, you have no choice but to accept the request unconditionally. Also, if you do a special feature on gold, if you equip a set item and have an effect, won’t the board get bigger? FYI, I already got the Black Claymore. If they give you a swordsman set, the publicity effect is… … It’s a little too much for me to say.”
– Let’s talk a little more with the person above.
After the conversation, Park Yeongjun smiled.
“Thank you for your quick reply. The gold special is just around the corner.”
Seeing that, his subordinates stuck out their tongues.
‘And Black Claymore and Azmo’s stuff in advance?’
It was a natural reaction for his subordinates, who had expected that dealing with the Undead Guild would not be easy.
Park Young-joon said a word to such a buzz in the office.
“Everyone be quiet. I have to deal now.”
“yes?”
“A deal?”
You’ve already done two deals, so you’re doing another one?
To the subordinates who were surprised by the fact, Park Yeong-joon opened a new chat window instead of answering and then spoke to the other party beyond the chat window.
“This is the Rising Star Channel. In fact, I checked the proposal sent by Gamma Pharmaceuticals. The only seat left right now is the gold special broadcast. Are you interested?”
The target of this transaction is none other than Gamma Pharmaceuticals!
“Ah, what items do you need? To be honest, there are no items needed. Isn’t Azmo also in a situation where he doesn’t have any more items to give to BJ Archmage? Oh, you want to give it to Gold?”
Against such gamma constraints, Park Young-joon proposed.
Let’s see, now on Black Claymore, on the swordsman’s set… … To be honest, I think the gold equipment window is also full. Except for the shield.”
need a shield
“Oh yeah? great. Let’s consult with BJ Grand Mage. Yes, have a nice day.”
It was only after completing the deal with Gamma Pharmaceuticals that Park Young-joon lightly opened his shoulders.
clap clap clap!
Seeing that, one of his subordinates clapped and said.
“The boss is great.”
It was a sincere admiration for Park Young-joon, who completed 3 transactions in 10 minutes and completed the full setting for gold.
At that fact, Park Young-joon smiled and said.
“It’s nothing special, it was just a deal.”
Seeing him humble himself, his subordinates once again marveled at him.
Park Young-joon said to such subordinates.
“Now then, let’s get permission from BJ Grand Mage.”
“yes.
“Send to set up a meeting date.”
“How about the meeting?”
“The Undead Guild commissioned repairs and gold special broadcast.”
“What about the other two?”
“Let’s leave that as a surprise.”
Park Young-jun, who left those words, smiled.
‘Now, with this, BJ Grand Mage and Gold are no longer needed… … The guys who bet in the future will have a headache. It won’t be enough to feed a person who is full.’
A very deep smile.
