[Arbia’s Errand]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: Level 160 or higher
– Quest Content: After hunting 1000 Ringed Monkeys in the Tree Forest, go find Hitu.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘Hitu’s Potion’ can proceed.
In Midas’ mind, while looking at the quest window, the words NPC Alvia gave him while giving him the quest came to mind.
He made a hit and promised something, but ask him to keep his promise instead of himself.
‘I’m really pulling it all the way.’
There was nothing strange about the dissatisfaction with the actions of the NPC Alvia, who used her until the end.
‘what…. .’
Of course, such dissatisfaction disappeared as if Mapparam was blindfolded the moment Midas saw the staff in his hand, now a snake head ornament with blue and red jewel eyes.
‘This is worth it.’
Arbia’s staff.
[The power of the spirit king of frigidity is activated.]
[Magical recovery speed is increased.]
The notification from the staff brought a smile to Midas’ lips.
Between those smiles, Midas turned his head and looked beyond the foggy forest.
‘Is the next destination a pine tree forest?’
The stage tree forest, the hunting ground after the spirit’s cave!
True to the name of the stage, the top of the tree was a forest full of trees as wide as a tray.
‘It’s not an easy place.’
The monster that appeared in the stage tree forest was the ringed monkey mentioned in the quest window.
Its external features were similar to monkeys, but its size was very large.
The big one is about 3 meters tall!
They were the type to work in groups of as little as 20 to as many as 100.
Even up to this point, the moment you hear it, it’s a trash game for God Wars players! enough to make a sound.
‘Especially the basic skill throwing is really annoying.’
But even trickier than that was that all of the ringed monkeys had a basic throwing skill.
Ringed monkeys each have a stone made of a special material, and the stone has quite powerful explosive power the moment it touches the target.
In terms of magic, it’s as powerful as a fireball!
Dozens of such rocks throw at the same time?
Regardless of its power, it is very difficult to avoid or block it.
That level was on a different level from the Red Goblin Archer, a ranged attacking monster that players faced in the past.
As I said before, this throwing skill was a basic characteristic of all ringed monkeys.
‘A big guy throws something the size of his body.’
Some guys with good physiques even threw something the size of an adult man’s torso.
A place where you dare not think of solo play.
If it was Midas in the past, it would have been a place I would have been worried about.
But at this moment, Midas had clear confidence unlike when he faced the red mountain.
‘It’s not easy, but I can catch it with a solo play.’
That confidence moved him.
‘Let’s broadcast a special live broadcast commemorating the debut of the stage tree forest.’
5.
Channels such as the Rising Star Channel do a lot of work ahead of video production or live broadcasting.
Managing the reputation of key players was one of them.
After the broadcast ended, I had to come up with a concept for the future according to the evaluation of the viewers’ opinion about him.
It was for that reason that the Rising Star Channel office was busy even though the live broadcast had ended without any problems.
“How is the live evaluation?”
“Are you awesome? Everyone is saying that BJ Grand Mage has opened a new world.”
The live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage, which makes the Rising Star Channel into a star channel, and the stories about him came like a storm right after the great broadcast.
“I especially liked the last one. They said they really liked the title change to BJ Lucky & Gold.”
“Your judgment was right.”
“It’s unusual for BJ Grand Mage to immediately catch and react to the fact that he gave the last blow on purpose.”
“But maybe it went too far? Since the proportion of Gold and Lucky is increasing, don’t you think you’re overly fond of BJ Grand Mage?”
“Wait, it’s like an event. Did the boss tell you too? Sooner or later, the hierarchy will be established.”
The story was overflowing.
There were so many rumors out there.
“I heard that BJ the Great Mage took pictures and threatened to find out the identities of the kids who called him a jerk?”
Rumors to undermine the evaluation of BJ Grand Mage.
“Ah, ignore that.”
“It’s bullshit. What is BJ Grand Mage doing?”
“By the way, can I get personal information by taking a selfie? In God Wars, the player’s appearance is quite different from the real one, isn’t it?”
“Maybe it’s possible if you’re a BJ master mage?”
“but.”
Nonetheless, it was the power of BJ Grand Mage that made the rumor plausible, and each Rising Star channel staff briefly exclaimed in admiration for that fact.
“Because it’s great.”
“If we do well, we will break through 10 million viewers on our next live broadcast.”
“I will do 10 million someday.”
Then, the moment everyone was expecting the next live broadcast, Park Young-joon entered the office.
“Is everyone working hard? huh?”
Park Young-joon speaks as if he is bruised as soon as he arrives.
However, no one was dissatisfied with that fact.
“I have to work when I get paid. So hurry up, get some donuts, get some coffee, and go crazy!”
There was no way an employee would be dissatisfied with the boss who came with both hands full of donuts and coffee.
“Thank you, I will eat.”
“Eat quickly. That way I can order chicken.”
Afterwards, the staff smiled.
During the snack time that started naturally, one of the employees asked.
“Come to think of it, the Blue Bull ad came up after this live broadcast, right? What happened after that?”
“The stock has risen.”
“Is it because of BJ Grand Mage?”
Park Young-joon answered the question that followed.
“Ah, not so much. No matter how much I am a BJ master mage, will Blue Bull’s stock price go up? It just has a good effect on the image. That alone is something that other companies will be interested in.”
At that time, one of the employees said after checking the mermaid-shaped logo representing the world of coffee and donuts he was eating and the letters Dunkin’.
“Boss, do you come here to advertise in a place like this?”
“Come. How many times.”
“Really?”
The part where you are surprised by the presence of BJ Grand Mage.
At that point, Park Young-jun also smiled.
‘That’s why the no-sponsor policy makes sense.’
What would the world think if the current hot item called BJ Grand Mage didn’t advertise?
Even Azmo couldn’t control his expression the moment he heard the proposal.
It was clear that it would be a powerful attack in many ways.
Because of this, Park Joon-young was convinced.
‘And if it’s BJ Grand Mage, he’ll figure out this situation and prepare for a confirmation kill right away.’
That BJ the great mage would set fire to the board he had laid for sure as soon as possible.
‘It may be broadcast live tomorrow.’
In the midst of such anticipation, one of the employees said.
“BJ Grand Mage asked if we could go live tomorrow!”
Park Young-joon answered that question.
‘It’s like it’s really in my head.’
“okay? Then you should prepare.”
Then he looked at the staff and said.
“Let’s eat well and prepare for tomorrow.”

‘Huh? Did you come right away?’
Is it possible to broadcast live tomorrow? Jung Hyeon-woo’s eyes widened as he checked the reply mail that arrived shortly after sending the email asking about it.
The answer is ok!
However, what made Jeong Hyeon-woo’s eyes wide was the fact that the mails flew in quickly.
‘Is it possible this quickly?’
Live broadcasting required a lot of adjustments before starting.
Employees as well as advertisers who give advertisers.
In such a situation, the answer comes so quickly?
‘Do you think there is something? something bad… … .’
Jeong Hyeon-woo had a bad feeling about this situation.
“There’s news about BJ’s great mage.”
While thinking about what that feeling was, Jung Hyeon-woo heard Lee Hyuk-joo’s voice in his ears.
“The players coming out of the forest of mist accidentally cursed at me, so they took pictures of me and threatened me.”
The attention of the guests was focused on his words read in the break room as if briefing the contents on his smartphone.
“What are you talking about?”
“Right now, in the forest of fog, a few interested kids are throwing themselves to crave viewers. And there are onlookers fanning it. I didn’t know that one of them was BJ’s great mage and cursed at me. The moment BJ Grand Wizard heard that, he took a proof shot and then threatened to wait because he took a picture of his face.
“No, what did you curse at, so you even took a proof shot and threatened?”
“It’s not really a bad insult. You said you were a coward who had never held a woman’s hand in his life?”
“Only with that?”
“Did you get angry because you stabbed a fact that was too fatal?”
Jung Hyeon-woo made a face that said that the contents of the conversation that followed were absurd.
‘Is it so fabricated that I did fan service now?’
That expression soon turned into a hard expression.
‘Well, this hasn’t even started.’
It is only natural that the higher one becomes famous, the more absurd rumors and rumors spread.
It was something that could not be stopped.
The important thing here was not the response to the rumors.
‘All I have to do is broadcast with all my heart.’
I just do my best to those who believe in me and follow me.
At that moment, Jung Hyun-woo stopped questioning the Rising Star channel’s quick response.
Whether he had a bad feeling or not, there was only one thing Jung Hyeon-woo had to do at this moment.
‘If permission is given, I just have to do a live broadcast.’
Showing the best live broadcasts.
‘Then, shall we advertise before the live broadcast?’
7.
After hunting in the Spirit’s Cave, the players head to the Stage Tree Forest.
In order to go to such a stage tree forest, you had to complete the Forest of Fog quest, just like when you came to the Spirit’s Cave.
It means that several players must gather and move along the path of light.
The atmosphere was not significantly different from the previous case.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go through it quickly!”
“Let’s go to the stage tree forest!”
Players who already had reliable companions quickly headed for the stage tree forest without looking back.
On the other hand, those who did not find a trustworthy party even in the Spirit’s Cave gathered among themselves and proceeded with the quest.
The atmosphere of those gathered like that couldn’t be good.
“Oh, it’s the same as last time.”
“Eh, do I have to pay real money to join the guild…. .
It would be strange if the losers gathered together and a friendly atmosphere blossomed.
Even in such a situation, there were people who tried to liven up the atmosphere.
“Come on, everyone, let’s do it well! Oh, let’s start with Tongseongmyeong. My name is Anon!”
Anon A player with a character name like that said with a bright smile to those gathered.
“My position is a tanker. I will take the lead and endure as long as I can, so let’s work hard!”
Some people were interested in the way he knocked on my armor with those words.
Literally just a few of them.
No matter what they did, their situation did not improve.
Above all, not all of these parties were safe.
It is impossible to smile brightly in front of the fact that there have been some victims and you may become the victim.
Seeing that, Anon spoke again.
“Aren’t they all talented people who survived here? Nothing is difficult compared to that.”
The answer came in the words that followed.
“I died five times in the Spirit’s Cave.”
“I have six.”
“I’m eleven.”
“yes? Eleven times? Then here… … .
“I spent over two months in the spirit cave.”
An answer that turns a heavy atmosphere into a miserable one.
Anon, who was lively with such an answer, soon made an awkward expression and rolled his eyes from side to side to examine the atmosphere.
‘I can’t just go on like this.’
There, Anon saw the match once more.
“Let’s not be so. do you know Will the BJ Grand Mage appear and ride the Lucky Express or Gold Airlines?
BJ Grand Mage Everyone reacted to that word.
“Well, after hearing the story, they said that sooner or later they will cross the forest of fog and go to the forest of stage trees.”
“It’s not even a matter of passing through the foggy forest when BJ Grand Mage comes. I play solo in the foggy forest.”
“I want to ride Gold Airlines and Lucky Express.”
The name BJ Grand Mage was an interesting story material that all God Wars players could share.
Of course, I didn’t really expect that BJ Grand Mage would come.
It was the same with Anon.
“There will be talented people among those who come. There’s nothing you can’t do if you just breathe.”
The goal is just to create an atmosphere where everyone can at least talk to each other.
Anon’s intention worked.
“I heard that BJ the Great Mage took proof shots of the kids who curse at him?”
“Quite a few tier 1 guilds dig up personal information on the spot, but if I were in that position, I would have peed.”
As everyone was talking, the atmosphere that was so heavy and like grains of sand began to come together.
‘done.’
Seeing that, Anon smiled lightly.
But that smile didn’t last long.
[A new member has joined the quest party.]
Along with that notification, someone appeared who destroyed Anon’s efforts.
“Are you here? I am Anon.”
king!
“king?
Panting!
“Lucky, go back.”
Everyone, including Anon, who greeted the appearance of BJ Grand Mage against the background of the roaring sound, froze as it was.
“Hello, this is BJ Grand Mage.”
Soon after, everyone who properly recognized Midas’ appearance cheered on the spot.
“Wow! come!”
“Damn, I never thought this day would come!”
“Finally I can ride the Lucky Express too!”
“Gold Air Gazua!”
Everyone who grabbed an opportunity that might not come again rushed forward and cheered.
It really created an atmosphere like a mayhem.
It was the same with Anon.
‘Really?’
Anon was surprised and reflexive that the question he had asked as a joke became a reality.
“Hey, BJ Grand Mage. nice to meet you I am…. .
Even though he had already introduced himself before, he introduced himself once again.
“Did you introduce yourself as Anon?”
Upon seeing Midas’ outstretched hand, Anon quickly shook hands and said,
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“It’s an honor to play with you too.”
The atmosphere of the players also changed with his attitude, which showed no sign of arrogance.
There aren’t many cases where a star comes out kindly.
Can I ask you a question over there?”
Taking advantage of that opportunity, someone asked a question.
“If it wasn’t for the question of how many ex-girlfriends you had. I can’t remember because there are too many.
“As expected, even one joke has wit.”
“Are you serious?”
“yes?”
Conversation pauses.
In the midst of that, Midas took a quick look at the surrounding atmosphere and said,
“So what is your question?”
“Ah! Is it Gold Air or Lucky Express today?”
Midas answered the question.
“Oh, you two are closed today.”
“yes?”
Are you on holiday?
At that answer, while everyone’s eyes were on Gold and Lucky behind Midas, Midas confidently pointed a finger at himself and said,
“So today I run alone.”
