Chapter 208. < Episode 67. Hard sell (1). >
1.
Miniaturization.
The moment he saw that skill, there was only one question that popped into Midas’ mind.
‘How small can it be?’
How effective will this skill really be?
‘Is the specification maintained even if it gets smaller?’
How will things including abilities be applied when they are really small?
In other words, Midas saw the value of this miniaturization skill as very high.
‘If done properly, there is nothing like this.’
In fact, if Midas was miniaturized to the level he wanted and if the specifications were maintained, this miniaturization skill could change the paradigm of the battles he had fought so far.
It was not difficult to imagine.
If you imagine a scene where Gold’s height becomes less than 1 meter right now, you will be able to draw the scene right away.
The smaller Gold moving wildly among the ringed monkeys and sweeping the battlefield.
Above all, more active battles and bold battles were possible as the range of hits was reduced.
‘But if it doesn’t work… … .’
The problem is if this skill is below expectations.
Midas’ gaze, recalling that case, turned to another golden card armor breaking skill beside him.
‘The damage must be great.’
If what you get in exchange for the powerful skill called Armor Breaking is less than expected, your stomach will hurt twice as much.
Of course, at this moment, Midas didn’t worry about it anymore.
In the first place, it was meaningless to worry about what the miniaturization skill would be like for Midas, who did not know the effect or characteristics of the miniaturization skill.
‘Should I lose or not.’
Are you willing to just give up on armor breaking and gamble instead? That’s all that matters.
‘If you go safely, armor breaking is the answer.’
Then Midas turned his head to check the corpses of the ringed monkeys around him.
Midas, who saw the results he could have faced because he took the risk, finished his resolution.
‘But if I went safely, I wouldn’t have this chance.’
After making up his mind, Midas reached out and chose a skill.
[You have acquired the miniaturization skill.]
The moment the selection ends.
“Okay Gold!”
“Yes, Master.
“Let’s try some skills!”
And now was the moment when the verification began.
2.
“Brother.
“uh?”
Lee Hyuk-ju, who welcomes Jung Hyun-woo right away coming out of the capsule, Lee Hyuk-ju, who is surprised by his sincerity, spit out his words.
“So what do you think? Do you think BJ Grand Mage can massacre 100 ringed monkeys?”
Seeing Lee Hyuk-joo urging him to answer the question he asked the other day, Jeong Hyeon-woo put on an expression of absurdity.
And he answered right away.
“I told you not to.”
“Hyung, BJ Grand Mage is on a different level!”
“Oh really! yes you can! BJ Grand Mage can do a lot of slaughter against 100 ringed monkeys! Are you done now?”
After that, Jeong Hyeon-wu waved his hand and headed for the bathroom, as if he didn’t want to deal with him any more. Soon after, Jung Hyeon-wu entered the bathroom and sat down on the toilet seat, stroking his face with his hand.
“Uh.”
His face turned red when he touched it.
Exciting!
The cause is a heart that beats without rest.
‘Like Hyeokju said… … I might be able to easily catch over 100 kid ring monkeys.’
And that heart was pounding because of the battle just before.
The miniaturization skill of the newly acquired gold!
‘Exceeding expectations.’
The effect of that skill was beyond what Midas had thought.
‘I can maximize the effect if I properly set the temp.’
Above all, what made Jung Hyun-woo look forward to it was that unlike before, the improvement in combat power that could be obtained by investing in gold was greater.
Even if I invested 10, I only got 1, but it feels like I can get about 15 if I give 10.
When he came to that idea, Jung Hyun-woo picked up his smartphone.
Tuk-tuk!
And soon, Jung Hyun-woo, who confirmed the total amount of money he had collected, tapped his head with his smartphone.
‘Damn it, I screamed too much last time.’
Jeong Hyeon-woo, who had been knocking on the head repeatedly in front of the unavoidable reality of insufficient balance, began to worry.
It wasn’t a question of whether or not to lose it.
It was judged that it was worth investing in, but it was impossible to worry about it.
Now was the time to run.
‘How do I get the money?’
What I was thinking about was how to get the money to buy the item right away.
Of course, at this moment, among the things Jung Hyeon-woo had, there was only one thing he could immediately turn into a lump sum.
‘Should I sell the main scenario quest information?’
Now is the time to put the most powerful piece of information you have on top of your sales listing.
‘Maybe it’s better to sell it now rather than saving more.’
Jung Hyeon-woo, who reached that fact, stopped tapping his head with his smartphone.
After that, I picked up my smartphone and sent an email.
3.
“Not scheduled. Yes, for now, nothing is planned.”
As soon as Park Young-joon finished the call and turned off his smartphone, a new call came.
The content was no different.
“yes.
After Park Yeong-jun did a few yes-yes to the other person’s request, the answer was the same as the previous answer.
“Currently not scheduled.”
Park Young-jun looks at his smartphone again after finishing the call.
Fortunately, the smartphone was benign.
“Oh, everyone is busy, busy.”
Only now is the moment when Park Young-joon has a break to breathe.
“president.”
At the same time, it was the moment when a subordinate had an opportunity to ask Park Young-joon a question.
“why?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just unsubscribe?”
In response to the first question, other subordinates also nodded lightly. questioned.
“It’s the same rejection anyway, but if you turn it off after asking for your understanding, you won’t have to hold your phone all day…. .
It is also true that Park Young-joon was unable to do his job properly due to the repeated phone calls.
Right now, subordinates barely have time to ask questions like this, so what more explanation do they need?
Moreover, as the subordinate question said, the result of this call was always the same result of refusal.
There is no need to even talk.
Park Young-joon answered that question.
“Isn’t it a bit uncomfortable to opt out of companies with a market capitalization of over $10 billion?”
“ah…. .
An irrefutable answer.
On the one hand, it was a surprising answer.
‘Ten billion dollars?’
It is natural that a company with a market capitalization of $10 billion cannot ruthlessly reject the demands of companies that everyone has heard of at least once.
‘Companies of that size are clinging like that?’
In other words, doesn’t it mean that you are passionately courting the Rising Star channel over and over again?
“Incredible.”
“Sounds like something great.”
The position of the rising star channel is new.
‘It’s not that great.’
Of course, in Park Young-joon’s view, the phone calls he had made so far were not that great.
‘Anyway, the person in charge of the public relations team told me to take it off, so I just did it, so what’s so great about it?’
The boss says that the boy called BJ Grand Mage is doing well these days. Try winning an advertisement. Everyone has been working hard to get it these days, right? huh? it’s hard? I said, but isn’t it natural that the public relations team staff are working hard on the phone?
In fact, from Park Young-joon’s point of view, it was okay for a subordinate to refuse to receive calls like the previous question.
‘I wasn’t spreading rumors, so there’s no reason to deal with them.’
Even so, the only reason for acceptance was to create an atmosphere through this.
Right away, Park Yeong-joon repeatedly and clearly added the expression “currently” while talking on the phone.
Of course, rumors were bound to circulate among the public relations team’s community.
Rumor has it that sooner or later the Rising Star Channel may receive advertisements.
Of course, in the case of companies operating in the public relations team unit, it was just a common rumor on the floor.
‘I’m sure my body will start to heat up.’
However, from the point of view of those who have sat directly on the board made by BJ the Great Mage, it is a rumor that can be troubling.
Those who are so hot will surely think.
‘Who will be the first to bet big?’
Even if he bets a little more, he said that it would be better for him to make a deal with the BJ great mage first.
Ugh!
At that time, the phone held by Park Young-jun rang again, and the employee who was talking stopped talking.
In the meantime, Park Young-jun, who checked the number, smiled and said.
“I’m busy, I’m busy.”
Then, he spoke to his subordinates who saw him.
“It looks like I’m the only one who’s busy. huh?”
Why are you staring at me now when the boss is working so busy?
At those words full of intention, the subordinates turned their eyes away from Park Young-joon one by one and then focused on their work.
Only after the gazes toward him disappeared did Park Young-joon touch the call reception button.
“Yes, this is the Rising Star channel.”
– If you need to introduce yourself, you’ll feel a bit sad.
“It can’t be.”
The caller is none other than Azmo.
A giant bigger than anyone else.
“I get a lot of questions about advertising. I’m busy answering the phone right now.”
Against such a big man, Park Young-joon continued the conversation with a relaxed look.
‘Looks like he’s calling for an advertisement again.’
‘You’re busy. You’re busy.’
Of course, the subordinates could not have imagined that the person on the phone was Azmo.
– Then you can’t take up too much time. I will briefly tell you the main point.
Azmo, too, seemed to have grasped the situation, and proceeded with the story quickly.
– The Explorers Guild has started the main scenario quest. By building a team in earnest.
And at the story that came out, Park Yeong-joon glanced at his surroundings and then said.
“This is amazing news.”
– I don’t think you’re too surprised by the reaction. I guess you already figured it out?
Park Young-joon did not bother to answer the questions that followed.
“I can’t give you more details. You know?”
bluntly.
– I bet. Now that the main topic is over, I want to say one more thing. What about the unit cost of advertising?
“Currently not scheduled.”
Park Young-joon, who finished the conversation as if it was nothing, turned off his smartphone and set the reception rejection.
“I’m going to be busy.”
After that, with a short complaint, Park Young-joon confirmed the surroundings.
In an atmosphere where no one pays attention to himself, he began to worry.
He tapped his head with his fingers.
‘Main scenario quest.’
Main Scenario Quest Park Young-joon had never heard that word directly from the BJ Archmage.
But looking at the circumstances so far, it wasn’t difficult to figure out what it meant.
‘If the Explorers Guild found it… … It must be a headache.’
And it was not difficult to guess what it meant to have been discovered by the explorer’s guild.
The Explorers Guild was a place with more powerful influence, ability, and know-how than anyone else in that regard.
Of course, at this point, Park Young-joon was convinced.
‘As long as Azmo knows, BJ Archmage will also know.’
Obviously, BJ Grand Mage also figured out this fact and prepared a countermeasure.
‘What kind of countermeasures are you going to come with? I think… … First of all, it’s better to fire back than to ignore it.’
One of his subordinates came and said to Park Young-joon, who had such worries.
“I got an email from BJ Grand Mage over there.”
The whisper of that small voice was evidence.
At least proof that it’s not something as simple as a live broadcast scheduled.
“Let me check.”
Therefore, instead of answering, Park Young-joon nodded and then tapped the keyboard of the PC in front of me.
‘also.’
The moment he saw the contents of the email, Park Young-joon couldn’t stand it and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
[I want to sell information about the main scenario quest.]
Park Yeong-joon deleted the email while smiling that lightly, and soon began to worry.
‘I want to sell… … Money is not important.’
First of all, this offer never came because of money.
Because BJ Grand Mage couldn’t have done that.
‘I’m asking you to disturb me.’
Even so, selling means interrupting the main scenario quest of the explorer guild or others.
And it meant that the method would be entrusted to Park Young-joon.
‘Should I just spray it?’
Then, it wasn’t bad to disclose the information received from BJ Grand Mage to everyone.
If there are many competitors, the progress of the quest will inevitably slow down.
‘Or should I pass it on to a more established competitor?’
Or, it’s not a bad thing to hand it over to someone who can compete for it and create a one-on-one composition.
‘for a moment.’
At that point, Park Young-jun immediately sent an e-mail with a firm expression after thinking of something.
‘If I do this well, I might be able to create an interesting production.’
4.
‘Huh? already?’
After sending an email to the Rising Star channel, Jung Hyun-woo checked the contents of his smartphone with a surprised look at the email that arrived shortly after.
And as soon as he confirmed the contents, Jung Hyeon-woo’s expression couldn’t help but harden.
[Are you okay with the reward as an item?]
Brief content.
‘oh my god.’
However, from Jung Hyeon-woo’s point of view, it was something he could not help but be thrilled with.
‘To really take care of me…’
Accepting items, not money, meant that I would give BJ the Great Mage all the profits I get from using the main scenario quest information.
Jung Hyeon-woo, who was deeply moved by this fact for a while, started to touch his smartphone.
At this moment, Jung Hyeon-woo did not hide it.
‘Let’s explain in detail rather than being clumsy.’
This is what happened to tell you more precisely what you really want.
‘Melee dealer weapons are short swords rather than long swords. I want an item with special options rather than attack power.’
Jung Hyeon-woo immediately sent an email stating what he wanted.
5.
Ding!
As soon as the mail arrived, Park Young-joon checked the contents of the mail.
And then he smiled.
‘You must have noticed my intentions.’
It was because there was only one item that matched the contents sent by BJ Grand Mage to Park Young-joon.
‘Patou’s dagger.’
Patu’s dagger.
A powerful debuff item that instantly reduces all of the stats of the stabbed target!
Because of its overwhelming utility value, it was an item that had never appeared on the market, and only a few owners.
‘The Explorers Guild has one.’
And among those few was the Explorers Guild.
That was the reason for the smile.
If you solve the main scenario quest information, the most troublesome thing is the Explorers Guild.
If so, how much can the Explorers Guild pay if this information does not spread?
There, Park Young-joon did not worry any more.
‘Now then, shall we stab him?’
You can find out how much you can call by asking directly.
