Chapter 276. < Episode 88. Desert (3). >
8.
“A little while ago, BJ Grand Mage spoke directly about the tour at Jabari Oasis.”
At the words of a subordinate, Park Young-joon thought.
‘I guess I can do an auction now.’
that the time is ripe
“Anything else?”
“There was nothing else to say other than that. Until the tour participants are decided, of course they will stay at Jabari Oasis.
“Then we must quickly recruit participants for the tour.”
Park Young-joon, who had finished speaking, spoke immediately.
“Now then, let’s prepare for the auction. Notify the participants and open a chat window on the main large monitor.”
As soon as the words were finished, the five employees who occupied the live broadcast room were busy moving.
“president…. .
A few minutes later, the door to the live broadcast room opened and a member of the staff revealed his face.
Originally, an employee who should not have gone to work today.
“Can I take a look?”
Nevertheless, the reason I went to work was to watch the upcoming auction.
It wasn’t strange.
Today’s auction is not just a simple auction, but an auction in which 10 guilds participate.
“Are you going to watch this big event with your bare hands? Everyone, go out and get some popcorn.”
As Park Young-joon said, it was a spectacle worthy of preparing popcorn.
“yes!
People started accessing the chat window while one of the employees who had received such permission greeted and called other colleagues waiting outside the door.
“I have connected to the Undead Guild!
The first visitor is the Undead Guild.
[Undead: It’s my first time talking to the boss.]
“It seems like you’re the guild master.”
Judging from the contents of the chat, it seemed that Master Rappo of the Undead Guild was chatting directly.
After that, three guilds appeared in the chat room in succession.
“Changseong Pista Hwarang Guild connected!”
Those who made the players of God Wars nervous with just one guild were scrambling to take their places.
[Pista Guild: Agent.]
[Creator Guild: Guild manager.]
[Hwarang Guild: Guild manager.]
Of course, unlike the Undead Guild, most of them were agents on behalf of the guild master.
[Undead Guild: Am I the only Master? Can everyone bet properly on this?]
In fact, while the Undead Guild was chatting, two guilds were named in succession.
The value of the name was not much different from the previous guild.
The reason why everyone can enter this chat room is because everyone is a 10-year-old guild.
[Explorers Guild: Guild Master.]
[Sword Guild: Guild Member.]
However, the content of the chat that followed had no choice but to make the weight of the two different.
“It’s a venture!”
Explorers Guild Master Venture To be honest, his name value was higher than the same guild master, Undead Guild’s Rapo.
If rappo was just a case of getting a jackpot because of luck, venture was a case that reached its current position with a business using a game called God Wars, and the difference in evaluation between the public was bound to be large.
“Rather than that, if you’re a guild member of the sword guild, are you sure you’re a swordsman?”
“Does it look like Kojiro Sasaki?”
On the other hand, regarding the guild members of the sword guild, most of them were swordsmen.
Even though he was not an agent and a member of the guild, only the swordsman was the only one who could openly say that.
In many ways, those who have no choice but to have a different sense of weight have appeared.
[Heroes Guild: Guild manager.]
[AAA Guild: Guild manager.]
Then, when two more guilds entered, the staff in the live broadcasting room opened their mouths again.
“Wow, 9 guilds came?
Everyone was amazed at the attendance rate.
There weren’t that many cases in the world where 9 of the 10 largest guilds were brought together like this.
“Do you think everyone has gathered at this point?”
Furthermore, although there was only one guild left, it was virtually the same as all gathered. Most thought so.
“Because the Abyss Guild won’t come.”
“Anyway, the Abyss Guild will never come to a place like this.”
The one remaining Abyss Guild is in a completely different place even within the fence of the top 10 guilds.
No one expected that they, who were at the peak of recognition by all the top 10 guilds, would be interested in this place.
[Abyss Guild: I am the guild manager.]
“Huh?”
“The Abyss Guild? really?”
So, when the tenth customer appeared in the chat window, the audience had no choice but to be silent.
It wasn’t just the staff.
A sense of desolation also appeared in the chat window where small talk continued.
“Okay then, let’s start the auction.”
As if only one person, Park Young-joon, expected such a situation, he calmly started the auction without falling into silence.
“The method is simple. The destination of the desert tour with BJ Grand Mage is selectable, and we will be with you from beginning to end. We will award the bid to the person who provides the most valuable item and skill card information. In the case of information, it takes time because it needs to be evaluated.”
Everyone was calmed down by Park Young-joon’s skillful progress.
And Park Young-joon, on the contrary, was nervous.
‘Finally gathered the 10 guilds in one place.’
For Park Young-joon, this place was not just a place to collect items or skill cards for the BJ master mage.
To be honest, it was meaningless to get items or skill cards from BJ Grand Mage right now.
What he already had was the best in God Wars, and furthermore, there were very few items that he couldn’t get through his personal route if he wanted to.
At least Park Yeongjun was not the one who gathered the 10th guild to get such things.
‘The most important thing is to make time.’
What he wanted to gain through this auction was none other than time.
The time required for BJ Grand Mage to become a powerful predator capable of devouring even the 10th guild.
In that sense, this place was a place where I could give the 10th guild a thing called patience.
‘Because if you put the 10th guild on the board, they’ll definitely weigh it too.’
Gambling boards are boring when you watch them from the side, but you don’t notice the time passing when you sit down at the board yourself.
On the other hand, if someone gains on the gambling board, the onlookers get their stomachs twisted, but isn’t it the way for the participants to promise the next thing?
Likewise, when the 10th guild directly participated in the game against the BJ archmage, it was inevitable to be calculated rather than emotional.
Calculating means spending a lot of time.
‘As long as possible.’
It was for this reason that this tour was traversed from beginning to end.
So that a longer time can be woven.
‘It’s a great chance to get acquainted with BJ Grand Mage without Azmo. If you’re going to bet, do it right.’
The exclusion of Azmo from this edition was also a target.
The auction started with such a goal.
Auctions were lively.
There is no way that those who participated in this auction would not know Park Young-joon’s goal.
[Heroes Guild: Level 220 Legendary Grade Magic Big Explosion Skill Card.]
Everyone expected Legendary Grade items to be mentioned from the beginning.
[Explorers Guild: Desert King Set.]
[Undead Guild: Receive the Desert King Set and one more set.] [Sword Guild: Desert King 2 sets and Desert King’s
Treasured Sword .]
pushed in
And not just one, but several.
“Just ask unconditionally and it’s a double.”
“It’s the first time I’ve had a chicken race like this.”
To the extent that the Rising Star Channel staff members who watched it stuck out their tongues.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just take money?”
One of them questioned what they would rather not do with normal auction money.
That part was also Park Young-joon’s goal.
‘There are things in the world that money can’t buy.’
If you only calculate with money, you can’t buy anything you can’t buy with that money.
‘Apart from earning time, I have to take care of the benefits.’
That was what Park Young-joon was waiting for.
[Abyss Guild: The Key to the Royal Family]
At that time, the Abyss Guild posted a bidding chat for the first time in the chat window, and the staff stuck to that word.
‘what?’
‘The royal key? What item is it?’
The appearance of something you’ve never heard of.
Meanwhile, those who participated in the chat window also froze for a while.
Of course, the reason they were firm was different from that of the employees.
[Undead Guild: Giving up on bidding.]
[Explorers Guild: Giving up.]
There is no longer any need to hold an auction.
The Rising Star Channel staff who saw it exclaimed in admiration.
“Have you seen anything great?”
“Seeing that all the 10 guilds are surprised, it must be a huge item.”
“It looks like the Abyss Guild made up their mind.”
I don’t know what it is, but judging from the reaction of the 10th guild, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was a huge item.
And it was the moment when something that money could not dare to buy appeared as Park Young-joon wanted.
No, it was more than what Park Young-joon wanted.
‘You’re taking out something that only the 10th guild knows about?’
That fact made Park Young-joon nervous.
There is absolutely no human being who makes bets of conversion without believing in the gambling board.
[Abyss Guild: If there are no bidders, can we talk alone with the Rising Star Channel?]
‘… … I guess I made a mistake.’
Rather, it was a moment that chilled Park Young-joon’s spine.
9.
Push!
It was a cold sense of desolation that greeted Hyeonu Jung, who came out with the sound of the capsule opening.
Of course, Jung Hyeon-woo did not raise any further questions or complaints about that fact.
After skillfully getting out of the capsule, he headed to the counter, took out a can of energy drink that Jung Hyeon-woo had half drank from the refrigerator inside the counter, and sat down on the sofa.
Then, after a brief sip of an energy drink, I looked at the break room.
Inside the break room, customers gathered like a group of meerkats, watching TV.
Lee Hyuk-ju was one of them.
‘Why isn’t he getting cut? Could it be that he is the son of the owner of the capsule room?’
Jung Hyeon-woo, who saw this, took another sip of his drink and closed his eyes.
‘For now, the fan service is over.’
Then, the process of fan service that took place over an hour today came to mind.
Actually, it wasn’t a fan service that would last that long.
‘I thought it would take over an hour to fill all 1,000 people.’
The problem is that Jung Hyeon-woo put forward a strategy of 1,000 people on a first-come, first-served basis.
It took an hour to fill that 1,000 people.
‘Lucky and Gold took less than 20 minutes…
‘
‘…. Some people even took pictures with me three times.’
There were people who worked hard three times to get rid of the first-come, first-served number, as if Jung Hyun-woo was pitiful.
‘Didn’t you rather wear a mask or something like that? If I wore something like a Hahoe mask, I would have been attracted to Aggro.’
Of course, the complaint about him did not last long.
‘Well, since the fan service is over, now I just have to wait for the tour customers to come.’
Considering the future schedule, the previous fan service was nothing more than a minor happening.
‘If I’m wrong, the schedule might be messed up.’
That’s why this tour event was important for Jung Hyun-woo.
The tour event itself was very good.
It will be a hot topic throughout the tour, and the additional income that comes along with it is something that cannot be ignored.
If the tour participants were from a well-known guild, it could become a bigger issue due to the synergistic effect.
What if the swollen atmosphere naturally continues to the event match with the midfield guild?
There can be no best-case scenario more perfect than this.
And that was the reason Rising Star Channel planned this tour event.
At least Jung Hyeon-woo thought so.
‘If you do a tour, you have to pace yourself with the tour participants.’
The problem was that if you wanted to do such a tour event, you had to pace yourself, of course, to the tour participants.
That was quite a headache.
Right away, an agreement was needed from the time of connection, and then the distance traveled must also be agreed.
‘There’s no way they would do a forced march like me.’
It was also impossible to plan an unreasonable schedule.
Even if you watch a movie right away, if you go to see it with several friends, it is a matter of life that the time will be a couple of hours later than promised.
‘It’s hard to openly use my abilities.’
Crucially, it was difficult to openly use the eyes Jung Hyeon-woo had.
‘…. If the tour participants decide the destination, it’s really over.’
The worst of them all was when Jung Hyeon-woo couldn’t decide on the destination.
‘Cancellation and refund… … And even the penalty.’
For Jung Hyeon-woo, whose lifeline was on fire right away, in the worst case, he might have to spit out more than he ate.
‘Please be well.’
That’s how Jeong Hyun-woo sipped the energy drink once again in agony.
‘huh?’
However, nothing leaked from the can, and Jung Hyun-woo, who confirmed that the can was empty, stood up.
Now is the time to call Lee Hyuk-ju.
“It’s Hyeok-ju.”
Hearing the voice of Jung Hyeon-wu calling Lee Hyuk-ju to the break room, Lee Hyuk-ju turned his head around and soon put his index finger to his lips and said,
“Hyung, it’s an important situation right now, so I’ll talk to you later.”
Shh!
With that gesture, Lee Hyeok-joo spit out the words, and Jung Hyeon-woo made a ridiculous expression.
Customers are calling from all over the world, but where is the part-time student who says shut up because he has to watch the broadcast?
‘No, what to look at?’
At this point, Jung Hyeon-woo became interested in the content of the broadcast that made Lee Hyuk-joo like this.
‘Abyss Channel?’
Then, the phrase abyss in the upper left corner caught Jung Hyun-woo’s attention.
And as if waiting for Jung Hyeon-woo’s attention, a person appeared on the screen.
‘Merlin?’
The one who appeared on that broadcast was none other than Merlin, the greatest wizard of God Wars, speaking to the viewers.
– As rumors have already come out, the Abyss Guild won the BJ Grand Mage’s desert tour event.
The people in the left were surprised by the words that followed.
“It’s real!”
“The Abyss Guild really won the bid!”
“Finally, we’re going to the Abyss Guild Collaboration with BJ Tsushima!”
As soon as the combination of the centuries came out, of course, Jung Hyun-woo was also surprised.
‘Abyss Guild?’
Could it be that the successful bidder is the Abyss Guild?
Of course, I wasn’t surprised in a good way.
‘It’s crazy, if the Abyss Guild is a customer… … .’
If this happens, it will be impossible for him to give up the contract as the last option he thought.
‘The moment the contract is canceled, it becomes a traitor.’
Isn’t it the Abyss Guild and no one else?
‘why?’
The situation is so pitiful that it makes you vomit.
– As a reward, I gave you the key to the royal family. The description of this item will be given by BJ Grand Mage himself, so I will skip it.
Of course, the words that followed did not reach Jeong Hyeon-woo’s ears.
‘Oh, what do you do? Shit, why would the Abyss Guild be damned after winning a bid for something like this? Why the hell?’
Because there was no room for anything else to come into my head full of confusion.
That was the moment.
– Of course, the Abyss Guild will not directly participate in BJ Grand Mage’s tour event.
In the words that followed, everyone, including Jung Hyun-woo, focused on the screen once again.
“Aren’t you going to participate?”
“Then why won the bid?”
Then Merlin answered everyone’s questions.
– The Abyss Guild has decided to release videos and live broadcasts related to the tour for free so that everyone can enjoy BJ Grand Mage’s desert tour.
They are not the only ones who have the pleasure of traveling, but they will share that pleasure with everyone!
– BJ Grand Mage can cross the desert alone as much as he likes as he has done so far.
So BJ Grand Wizard go on tour with those invisible fans!
Actually, that was a creepy word.
Doesn’t that mean that BJ Grand Mage has to do it alone in the desert, which is difficult to cross even with a large party?
The moment when the compulsory solo play is confirmed.
‘Thank you, Abyss Guild Sir Merlin!’
At that fact, Jeong Hyeon-woo let out a cheer in his heart.
