Chapter 283. < Episode 90. Royal Tombs (4). >

Among the countless pieces of advice Jeong Hyun-woo heard as a baseball player, there was this advice.
“You have to be careful when the game goes too well.”
If things go better than expected, don’t get drunk on the fact and be more careful than usual.
Of course, at the time of hearing that advice, Jung Hyun-woo thought that the game didn’t go well, and he left and couldn’t participate in the game itself.
I was talking full-bodied bullshit and fell asleep.
It was the same after that.
For Jung Hyeon-woo, whose life history had never been solved properly, that advice was no different from a story from another world.
‘Things are working out so well.’
But now Jung Hyeon-woo was thinking about that advice.
If it was at a certain level, I wouldn’t have thought about it.
‘To the point of being ridiculous.’
But now, in Jeong Hyeon-woo’s eyes, the current situation was far beyond a reasonable level.
‘A 15-day quest was finished in one day.’
That would be the case, the ‘Oasis’ quest would have taken more than 15 days if done in the normal way.
It took at least 3 days just to go to the sand forest to catch the desert king, and it took 3 days to come back after that.
Even with such an investment of time, there was no guarantee that he would obtain the key to the royal family.
It was such a difficult quest, and the Legendary Epic Skill Card was the reward as proof of that.
But it wasn’t even a day, it was actually over in 10 minutes.
‘I’ll be guided to the royal family’s tomb and go there easily.’
Even the road to the royal tomb was highly likely to be made very easy given the circumstances.
In terms of a car, I didn’t even step on the accelerator, but it felt like the car was running at 200 kilometers per hour.
‘I think there will be an accident if I just go on like this.’
It was a situation where I needed to be rather careful as the advice I heard then.
That was the reason.
The reason Jung Hyun-woo returned home from work in the capsule room much earlier than usual.
thud!
“You came early. What’s going on?”
The moment Jung Hyun-woo closed the door, his older brother Jeong Tae-woo sat at the table and greeted him.
“I’m going to take a break today.”
Jung Hyeon-woo, who had nothing to say, entered the living room evasively, and his older brother caught his eye.
The older brother sitting at the table was not much different from when he left for the capsule room in the morning.
The laptop was still on the table, the only difference being a mug full of spilled coffee stains and a sugar drawer that was half as small as in the morning.
“Have you been working since morning?”
“To be exact, I am still working.”
In response, Jung Hyun-woo stuck out his tongue and said.
“Is it okay for you to work like that?”
“On the contrary. I do it because I can do it.”
“like this?”
Jeong Tae-woo continued to speak while still looking at the laptop monitor toward Jeong Hyeon-woo, who was tilting his head at the incomprehensible answer.
“What I do is something that can’t be pierced even if I block it a hundred times. You have to have the stamina to last this long.”
There was no need to add that it is not something that can be done for money by a person who suddenly loses consciousness or is in a position where he or she may go to the hospital in an ambulance due to a bad physical condition.
Jung Hyeon-woo also did not ask any more questions about that part.
“So, how did things go today?”
“I did something to earn the praise of my employer.”
“okay? Then you must have received a bonus?”
For the first time at the word bonus, Jung Tae-woo turned his gaze away from the monitor and looked at Jung Hyun-woo.
Brother, if you are a person, you should say something that makes sense. What if you say bullshit? with such a face.
On the other hand, even in front of his brother’s expression, Jung Hyeon-woo did not bend his will.
“why? If you do well, you should get a bonus.”
Far from bending over, Jeong Hyeon-woo spoke more strongly.
“That boss is trash. If you do well, it’s manners to give them money to eat chicken. Hyung just sends an email to the boss saying he can’t do it and beats him up. If it’s hard, can I tell you instead? Please tell me your email address. I’ll beat the boss with text messages.”
Of course, Jung Tae-woo did not reply to his brother’s words.
Crackle!
Because nothing else came into his eyes as he started to work by tapping the keyboard again.
Jung Hyeon-woo also did not ask any more questions about his brother’s appearance.
Instead, Jung Hyeon-woo, who moved to the living room, sat down on the floor and turned on his smartphone as usual, holding it in his hand.
‘uh?’
Just then, I saw a notification arrive at the top of my smartphone.
‘A new video has been uploaded from the Abyss Guild.’
Jung Hyeon-woo, who confirmed the identity of the notification, quickly touched it, and the screen immediately changed and a video appeared.
‘Merlin?’
The video cast is Merlin.
‘huh?’
The title of the broadcast was ‘Road to the Royal Tombs’.
10.
Abyss Guild.
The only guild that can receive the title of the best among the 10 guilds.
The biggest reason for such a title was one.
What the Abyss Guild cannot do is that no one in God Wars can do it.
It is not a vague statement, but the Abyss Guild has proven that fact through results.
“The road to the tomb of the royal family has been a quest that the Abyss Guild has been trying to capture for many years, but has never succeeded.”
That’s why when Merlin brought out the story through a video, the shock the world felt was very great.
– You said the Abyss Guild couldn’t be broken?
– really? for how many years? isn’t it gura?
– Merlin has nothing to do. it must be real
As I said before, what the Abyss Guild couldn’t do in God Wars was something no one else could do.
But is there something the Abyss Guild hasn’t been able to do over the years?
It’s strange if you don’t feel shocked when Merlin directly discloses that fact, not anyone else.
What was even more surprising was what happened next.
“It was such a difficult quest.”
As soon as Merlin finished speaking, Merlin disappeared from the screen and another video appeared.
All of the past images of star players who are currently active as members of the Abyss Guild are videos of them fighting monsters on the way to the tomb of the royal family.
Viewers who watched the video couldn’t help but be amazed.
– How many crazy sand snakes?
– It seems that the number of party members is limited? A party of 20 seems to be the limit.
– Catch five sand snakes with a party of 20? is this possible
The difficulty of hunting on the way to the tomb of the royal family, seen through the video, was beyond common sense.
A level that made it impossible to attack.
“I can say that the difficulty is much higher than that of the meteorite impact field that recently appeared.”
Difficulty levels like hell for many ahead! It was a level that exceeded the difficulty of the meteorite impact field that was shouted out.
– Wow, but since it’s the Abyss Guild, it was a challenge.
Because of this, none of those who watched the video blamed the failure of the Abyss Guild.
On the contrary, I thought I deserved to fail.
It was around that time.
– Is the key to the royal family given to BJ Grand Mage Gaman an item related to this quest?
– On the way to the tomb of the royal family? Of course, it must have something to do with the royal key.
– There’s no way the Abyss Guild would suddenly upload a video like this. It’s definitely related to BJ’s great mage.
Those who watched the video began to notice why this video appeared.
“That’s why the Abyss Guild decided to ask BJ Archmage to clear this quest.”
The moment Merlin nailed that expectation, viewers couldn’t help but be enthusiastic.
The moment when the best guild of God Wars, not anyone else, asks BJ Archmage to attack.
It wasn’t just a simple quest, it was a quest like a stigma of the Abyss Guild.
It was something that had never existed before.
– Isn’t that the greatest event ever?
b Not right now. Because if BJ Grand Mage fails, nothing will change.
Of course, there was no guarantee that BJ Grand Mage would do something that even the Abyss Guild couldn’t do.
– The level of difficulty is no joke, but at this level, even the BJ master mage would have a hard time.
ㄴ That’s right, isn’t there a solo play?
How do you break this by yourself?
The level of difficulty is such that it is difficult to predict the possibility of attack.
Right away, the Abyss Guild was at the level of confessing their failure to attack.
– But if you attack, it’s an all-time event.
But what if the BJ master mage attacks this as well?
– You’re a BJ master mage, aren’t you? You are the one who has always taken nonsensical things for granted!
B That’s right, alone.
ㄴ When solo, BJ Grand Mage is invincible.
Above all, BJ Grand Mage was also a person who wrote his own legend and a history that no one else could achieve.
Because of this, one thing was clear.
– It’s an all-time big event.
All the attention of the world will be focused on the next live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage.
– So when?
– When are you doing the live broadcast?
Naturally, the interest of the viewers was the date of this big event, and Merlin answered that interest.
“I hope that BJ Grand Mage will reach the tomb of the royal family, and please support him in his upcoming challenge.”
The broadcast will start soon.
11.
– Thank you for your support.
At the end of the video, Merlin, who was watching the video, complained.
“Now, I think I’m going to play the role of the BJ Grand Mage’s cheerleader. After doing this, we’ll have a party play together later.
No matter how the directing was, the theme of this video was that the Abyss Guild gave BJ the Great Mage.
Merlin, no one else, stepped up.
Merlin When I think of the name he has achieved, it is only natural to sigh.
However, there was no sign of displeasure or embarrassment on Merlin’s face when he uttered that complaint.
On the contrary, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly.
Emma looked at the corner of her mouth and said.
“It’s a road to hell, but there’s nothing wrong with cheering me on, right?
“What’s wrong?”
Merlin immediately agreed to Emma’s words and turned his head to look at the monitor.
– Give up the attack! retreat!
Then, in the video, a player armed with armor was heard screaming.
– Oh, are you really retreating? can you still do it?
The player’s character name is Io.
He was the most promising player in the Abyss Guild at the moment ahead of the Abyss Guild’s promotion to the first team.
A super rookie that the Abyss Guild directly manages his career to raise as the next-generation ace.
For that reason, the word failure never existed in Io’s career.
– no. This is a place we cannot attack.
But now, in the video, Io was choosing failure on his own.
It was such a stage.
“Because even the super rookies who don’t know our failures have failed.”
The road to the tomb of the royal family was a stage that made even the best rookie raised by the Abyss Guild bow down.
It’s strange if you can put BJ Grand Mage on such a stage right away, but he doesn’t cheer for you.
“Rather than that, I never thought I’d receive such a request from the BJ Archmage.”
In fact, the strange thing is that BJ the Great Mage himself made such a request, not anyone else.
BJ Daemage said through the Rising Star channel.
If the Abyss Guild directly promotes the difficulty of the Road to the Royal Tomb quest, BJ Grand Mage will complete the quest within this week.
It was no different from saying that if you advertise how hellish hell is, you will enter that hellfire as quickly as possible.
“BJ Grand Mage is definitely cool-headed.”
Of course, when I thought about it soberly, that was the correct answer.
Right now, the Abyss Guild is trying to throw the BJ Grand Mage on the way to the royal family’s tomb as quickly as possible, and now the BJ Grand Mage has no choice but to enter.
A situation where there is no escape from hell.
“If it’s a tiger that needs to be caught anyway, it’s better to wrap it as if it had wings on its back.”
If so, it would have been wiser to increase the merit of success by packaging more of what you are dealing with.
And as I said earlier, even if the BJ Archmage didn’t ask for it, the Abyss Guild intended to pressure the BJ Archmage through various routes.
If you’re under pressure anyway, it’s better to receive it properly.
Anyway, the work is already done.
The identity of the road to the royal tomb has been revealed, and BJ Grand Mage will be challenged within this week.
“Now, the only thing left is whether we can attack or not.”
All that remains is the result.
“What do you think, Emma?”
“BJ Grand Mage is not stupid and is impossible to attack, so he wouldn’t have come out this strong.”
It was unfortunate from Emma and Merlin’s point of view, but I didn’t think that BJ Grand Mage would fail in the quest.
“I guess so.”
Considering what BJ Archmage has shown me so far, I couldn’t easily imagine the picture of him facing destruction.
“But it won’t be easy.”
However, it was not easy to imagine that BJ Grand Mage could easily break through the stage where even the Abyss Guild was difficult.
“That’s why they’re trying to inflate the difficulty in this way. That way, even if it takes time and is difficult, viewers will understand.
Even the BJ Grand Mage had a kind of insurance policy from the beginning of such an offer.
The Abyss Guild is also a place where you stick out your tongue, so I hope you understand even if your attack speed is slow.
“So how many days do you think it will take?”
That’s why Emma confidently answered Merlin’s question.
“A week-long BJ master mage will have a week for the minimum attack.”
12.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Jung Hyeon-woo looked at his smartphone with a sigh.
Then, the comments below the video uploaded by the Abyss Guild caught my eye.
– The difficulty of attacking the royal family’s tomb is no joke.
– BJ Grand Mage does this alone?
The comments that exploded because the anticipation couldn’t rise.
Of course, that expectation was the expectation that BJ Grand Mage would break through this absurd difficulty.
From Jung Hyun-woo’s point of view, it was crazy.
‘I’m looking forward to it like this, but if I show you sucking honey in front of him, I’ll never stay still.’
In front of this exploding expectation, what Jung Hyun-woo could show was not to break through the difficulties, but to get out of them leisurely through the dog hole.
And that wasn’t all.
– Are you taking on the challenge soon?
ㄴ Merlin told me to do it in the near future, so I guess I’ll do it this week?
ㄴ He’s also a BJ master mage. Seeing this nonsense, don’t you just take on the challenge right away?
b No way, that alone.
Everyone had no doubt that sooner or later, BJ Grand Mage would challenge.
It was even more suffocating for Jung Hyeon-woo.
‘What do we do?’
There was no right way to overcome this situation right away, and even if there was a way, it was difficult to use it properly as there was not much time given.
‘Should I go hard on purpose?’
However, it was also impossible to force yourself to suffer here.
‘Ah, but this difficulty is ridiculous… … Aren’t 5 sand snakes too much?’
Judging from the video uploaded by the Abyss Guild right away, it was obvious that they would be game over if they deliberately put themselves in a crisis.
And if you really get a game over, that’s probably the worst option you can choose.
In other words, the answer has already been determined.
‘…. I have no choice but to apologize.’
We’re sorry we couldn’t live up to your expectations in front of our viewers! to broadcast an apology.
When it came to that fact, Jung Hyun-woo did not ponder for long.
‘If I’m going to broadcast an apology anyway, I’d better do it quickly.’
The more time spent like this, the more the viewers’ expectations grew, and the more the expectations grew, the greater the disappointment.
‘I still have a lot of playtime left.’
And if you were determined to be beaten anyway, it was better to be beaten right away.
“Hyung, I might be late today, so let’s eat first.”
After making up his mind, Jeong Hyeon-woo spat out those words and walked to the front door.
At the same time, he took out his smartphone and wrote an e-mail to be sent to the Rising Star channel.
‘Okay, let’s just finish the quest today.’
Then, Jung Hyeon-woo, who sent the e-mail he wrote, went out the door and spat out a short complaint.
‘No, why is this quest coming out so easily and damn? It’s difficult.’
