Chapter 230. < Episode 74. John Ver (2). >
5.
In the world of professional players, there is a saying.
It is more helpful to experience one desperate moment than to do 100 proper exercises.
The difference between the two cases was tension.
I don’t really remember the road I usually take hundreds of times, but the memory of being hit by a truck suddenly pops out of the way remains in my mind forever.
So was the game.
My game skills improved much faster when I was playing intensely than when I was just playing the game normally.
What if you play the game while counting the time in seconds under the pressure of having to fight the most efficient battle in the shortest amount of time against a group of monsters you’ve never faced before?
It was for that reason that Midas showed amazing fighting ability against Black Hyena.
It wasn’t just that the damage was strong.
Perong!
[The Black Hyena has been killed.]
The damage is honestly not from skill, but from items and stats.
What Midas showed was literally his skill.
First of all, the steps were different.
Parbat!
Even though he repeatedly took backward steps, Midas’ movement was as fast as when he went forward.
‘to the left.’
And the change of direction was as free as moving forward.
It means that stepping backstep has gone beyond just being good at it, and now I’m used to it as much as going forward.
Moreover, Midas wasn’t just blindly walking backwards.
Krrr!
Cuckoo!
He was perfectly predicting the behavior of the black hyenas coming towards him and responding accordingly.
It was like that even now.
Cuckoo!
The moment the black hyena flailed, Midas turned to the side and naturally, the black hyenas chasing Midas stopped as they were entangled in one.
Meanwhile, Midas stepped on the backstep and opened the distance at once, throwing a fireball in his hand.
The fireball thrown like that accurately hit the target’s golden glaze despite the violent movement.
Perong!
[The Black Hyena has been defeated!]
The damage is, of course, overwhelming!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this alone has already reached the level of hunting black hyenas.
But Midas had one more thing that others didn’t have.
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo!
It was difficult to clearly determine the number with the naked eye because the group of black hyenas that attacked were entangled, but it was not for Midas.
‘There are four left.’
The number of monsters was clearly visible in Midas’ eyes.
Being able to see and respond to threats even in blind spots.
‘Two more run.’
Here, Midas’ gaze clearly distinguished the existence of monsters even in arid land like a wasteland.
It was thanks to the fact that the fact that the information was visible had now reached the level where it was applied to Midas in all weathers.
There was no risk in that situation.
“The familiar Ice Arrow, the familiar Lightning Arrow.”
While firing magic arrows through the two familiars, reducing HP, Midas himself also refilled the empty magazine.
“Fire Spear and Ice Spear and Lightning Spear.”
After filling up the empty magazine through triple casting, I attacked while avoiding the monster that was attacking me.
[The Black Hyena has been killed.]
After the battle, there was no trace of dirt anywhere on Midas’ body.
Proof that you fought a clean battle.
Midas, who confirmed the evidence, spoke quietly.
“Was I a genius?”
It was then.
“For the glory of the Master!”
“for!”
Hearing Gold and Silver’s voices nearby, Midas turned his head to look at them both.
Then the sight he saw was astonishing.
The first thing I saw was gold.
Push!
It was awe-inspiring to see him move at a speed so fast that the black hyena couldn’t chase it like lightning, stabbing the black hyena’s body with Pato’s dagger in his hand.
“Take a taste of the great sword inherited from you!”
Silver, holding a black claymore, struck down those cursed with amazing attack speed.
Kwajik!
The black hyenas were quickly eliminated by the offensive of gold and silver, which meshed exquisitely like factory machines.
Of course, this was not possible from the beginning.
“Senior, it’s worth fighting for now!”
“Yeah, now you look a little funny!”
Optimized through accumulated combat experience over and over again.
Another such optimization was achieved.
K-King!
The guy who changed into the lucky giant mode also trampled the black hyena.
The feeling was different from gold and silver.
If gold and silver are machines, Lucky is wild.
bang!
Lucky snaps at one of the dogs after knocking them down with a head-butt.
Keheng!
And there was no mechanical calculation in the way he threw the bitten black hyena high into the sky.
couw!
At the same time, one of the guys Lucky threw high into the sky became prey for the jackpot.
Jackpot, who snatched one out of the air at once, lifted it higher and threw it right onto the group of black hyenas gathered around Lucky.
Fuck!
At the throwing attack, the black hyenas fell to the ground like bowling pins.
Krrr!
The fallen group was quietly bitten by Lucky’s shadow that approached at some point.
‘Ah, if this was broadcast, I would have become an extra again.’
Aren’t you some kind of genius? The moment the thought I had was shattered.
At the same time, I also felt sorry.
‘Rather than that, these guys also met the wrong owner, so they’re all high school students.’
Showing such an amazing battle is proof that it has been fighting fierce battles with black hyenas without rest.
‘Guys, hold on a little. I’ll make you stronger later.’
[The Black Hyena has been killed.]
[The quest conditions have been completed.]
Eventually, the moment the battle ended, Midas heard a notification in his ears.
‘uh?’
“it’s over?”
Midas tilted his head in disbelief at the sudden announcement.
[The item in the inventory has changed.]
It was only after checking the inventory that he heard the notification that Midas was able to properly grasp it.
‘It’s Ara’s feather hat!’
that you have completed the quest.
“I finally did it.”
[A new quest has been updated in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
At that time, a quest dug into my ears right away, as if not giving me a chance to catch my breath.
‘huh?’
At the same time, footprints began to appear in front of Midas’ eyes, and at the end of them, a pillar of red light rose.
[Footprints of Ara]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 229 or lower
– Quest Content: Ara wants to test you once more. Let’s follow Ara’s footsteps and move to the end. The moment you deviate from the steps, the footprints disappear and the quest fails.
– Quest Reward: Ara’s Bronze Gloves ! When the quest is completed
, you can proceed
with
‘Ara’s last keepsake’ !
‘Ah, just looking at this, they’re being attacked on the way… … .’
6.
Bad hunches always hit.
Such was the case with Midas.
“Fuck for real!”
As he expected, a new group of black hyenas attacked him as he moved along Ara’s footprints.
Moreover, the fighting situation was no better than the previous ones.
In the previous situation, he was able to move freely, but now Midas cannot escape from Ara’s footprints.
It was no different from a train on a railroad track.
‘Now that I’m a little more playable, I can’t believe the transformation problem is coming up!’
Midas, who wanted to have some time to spare while adapting to the battle with the black hyena, cursed at the situation.
In other words, it was an opportunity.
As always, once you start adapting to the training, the efficiency of the training from then on is extremely low. Changing the way in this way was the best way to increase the efficiency of training.
“This fucking game! I can’t see the player relaxing in the game. I can’t see!”
Of course, from Midas’ point of view, it was nothing more or less than a situation in which lust could come out.
Of course, the speed of movement was bound to be very slow.
Even Ara’s footprints were very long.
‘No, I’ve been moving for several hours, but I can still see far away.’
It’s a slow speed, but even after moving for 4 hours, the distance from the red pillar pointing to the destination hasn’t narrowed in the slightest.
‘Couldn’t it take more than two days?’
This fact gave Midas a foreboding feeling.
And that ominous premonition came true.
Midas It was the 3rd day of Ara’s Footprints quest that he reached the end of the footprints.
“ah…. .
Midas, who arrived at the end of the footsteps, did not even cheer at the fact as if he was too tired.
Just stare blankly at the pillar of light for a while.
Midas, who had spent so much time, shook his head and said,
“It’s clear that the person who made this game is a real asshole.”
It wasn’t until after grinding his teeth that much that he confirmed that Midas was emitting a red pillar.
It was a small box that emitted a pillar.
Its shape is what one would normally think of as a treasure chest, but it looked worn out as if it had been caught up in the years, and it didn’t seem to contain any expensive treasures.
Midas touched the box.
[The box examines your steps.]
[Confirmed that you passed the test.] The
corner of Midas’s mouth twitched at the notification he heard before long.
‘If I had believed what I saw and came without a battle, I would have failed.’
Even though it was far from the footprints, the box, which had ridiculed by Midas, began to open its mouth toward the system in case it was lucky enough to find this box.
At the same time, what appeared was a bronze glove covered in rust, as if you would get tetanus the moment you touched it.
The moment the trash comes out of the trash can.
However, Midas’ gaze was different.
uh?
On the contrary, at this moment, Midas had a surprised expression on his face to the extent that the hardships he had gone through earlier were overshadowed.
[Ara’s Bronze Gloves]
– Grade: Legendary
– Wearable level: Level 193 or higher.
– Gloves made of bronze worn by Ara. It makes the wearer’s hand heavy, but gives it a lot of strength.
– All stats +345
– Binds when acquired (untradeable)
– Reduces casting speed by 50% when equipped
– Increases magic damage by 25% when equipped The
visible options were similar to Ara’s Feather Hat.
The other thing is that this time the casting speed is reduced.
Anyway, great option.
‘wait for a sec.’
However, what filled Midas’ mind was not the visible item, but the last relic of Ara.
‘Couldn’t it be that the last artifact increases magic power consumption by 50% and magic damage by 25%?’
What kind of option is Ara’s last relic?
‘Really, if you include the set options… … .’
And if the options are really what you expect, what will happen when you wear all the items.
‘Additional damage option for 75% increase in stats… … .’
Before long, Midas, who was estimating the result after finishing the calculation, laughed.
“haha.”
With that laugh, Midas shook his head.
‘Oh no way. It can’t be that way, can it?’
Denying the result he had put forth himself, Midas reached out and picked up Ara’s bronze glove.
[The quest has been completed.]
[The level has risen.]
[The level has reached 190.]
And Midas stopped paying attention to the results of the moment before.
[The dragon only for war gives you a new opportunity.]
All you have to do now is acquire a new skill. Just focus on that fact.
Before that fact, Midas took a long breath and turned his head.
“Lucky!”
Whoa!
At the owner’s call, Lucky sat down right there and started howling as if he didn’t need an explanation.
Silver was surprised to see that and said to Gold.
“Senior, what is that bad dog doing?”
“He’s just doing useless things. Rather, because of that bad dog, bad results will come out because of the denial.
While Silver tilted her head at Gold’s brusque answer, Midas heard a notification in Midas’ ears again.
[Do you want to use the opportunity?]
“Yes.
After answering like that, Midas’ eyes were filled with 100 cards with identical backs.
And the cards began to emit their own light.
In it, Midas’ eyes were fixed on the card that emitted golden light right in front of his nose.
[Blizzard]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: Summons a cloud containing a block of ice. As the skill rank increases, the number and size of the falling ice chunks increase.
blizzard!
The moment he saw it, Midas immediately gestured towards Lucky and said,
“Lucky is out!”
king!
Lucky jumped at the gesture as if he had been waiting for it, and Silver, who saw the scene, tilted his head and said,
“Senior, it doesn’t seem to be of much use, but why is the master’s reaction like that?”
clap clap clap!
But instead of answering Silver’s question, Gold clapped and shouted.
“Master, I also had no doubt that the results you wanted would come out! Congratulations!”
The moment when Silver learns good things from his senior.
“Blizzard is really coming out with this!”
king!
“Okay Lucky. This is a really expensive skill.”
king!
“Of course, the more expensive it is, the more powerful it is. Among range magics, damage is also damage, but this damage is continuously applied. Every time you hit the ice, you take damage. Even if I write right now… … .
In the midst of such a fuss, Midas suddenly stopped talking and stood still.
king?
Lucky tilts his head at his owner’s stiff appearance, but Midas couldn’t see such a look in Lucky’s eyes.
‘oh my god.’
Because at this moment, Midas’ head was filled with only the results he had denied.
7.
– Anyone found BJ Grand Mage?
ㄴ If you report the location of BJ Grand Mage, we will give you 1,000 gold!
The aftermath of the event to find the hidden BJ great mage was much bigger than expected.
“Oh, I’m going crazy.”
“why?
“I received 10 calls yesterday asking me to tell you where BJ Grand Mage is.”
“you also? i got it too If you become the first to find it, I will split it in half.”
That the first discoverer still hasn’t come out.
People had no choice but to heat up at the fact that there was no winner of the prize money exceeding the imagination of 1 million dollars.
Of course, it wasn’t all that good.
No matter what you do, there is a limit to what you can do with an affair.
“But can I do this? It’s been two weeks since we didn’t broadcast live, right?”
“There are opinions that the BJ Grand Mage game is not over.”
“It’s fortunate that only opinions come out, but the trend of subscriber growth and video views has slowed down.”
The aftereffects of not doing a live broadcast for so long are now beginning to emerge.
Park Young-joon was not aware of that fact.
‘I have to endure.’
Even so, Park Young-joon was in no hurry.
‘It’s a way to deal with a giant called the midfield guild. You shouldn’t be in a hurry just because you’re afraid of losing money.’
Park Young-joon knew very well that if he overworked while fearing immediate losses on the gambling board, he would eventually lose the game itself.
‘Wait until the answer comes.’
That’s why he didn’t even urge the BJ archmage.
After all, in this situation, the one who feels the most burden is the BJ Archmage himself.
Park Young-joon’s eardrum, which had been silently tapping his head with his finger, was lightly tapped by a notification from his smartphone indicating that an e-mail had arrived.
Park Yeongjun immediately confirmed the contents.
‘Azmo?’
Caller is Azmo.
The content was simple.
[Congratulations on reaching #1 in the small park rankings. I send you a gift.]
Park Young-joon, who confirmed the contents, had a cold look in his eyes instead of a smile.
‘Is the situation bad enough for Azmo to worry about?’
Because there’s no way he didn’t know Azmo’s intentions.
Park Yeong-joon, who sent such a cold look, then a new email arrived as if he had promised.
‘BJ Grand Mage!’
The sender this time is none other than BJ Grand Mage.
What he sent was also simple.
[If you wait for a week, the live broadcast will be possible.]
However, the weight of the content was not simple.
‘I found the answer!’
The contents of finding something to break through an impossible situation no matter who sees it.
‘It’s going to take a week. That’s nothing.’
The moment he saw it, Park Yeongjun also took out the prepared card.
“How is the reaction to finding the hidden BJ Grand Mage?”
An employee answered Park Young-joon’s question.
“It doesn’t seem bad, but it seems to be sinking.”
“Really? Then let’s raise the amount.”
“yes?
To the subordinates who were surprised by the sudden words, Park Yeongjun spread three fingers and said.
“Triple it up.”
“Thirty thousand dollars?”
At that moment, Park Young-joon smiled and said in front of the shocked employees.
“Of course, the prize money for the first discoverer is also tripled.”
