Chapter 288. < Episode 91. Power-up (3). >

Sometimes it is.
It’s because I’ve had a very tiring day that I think I’ll sleep all day, but I can’t sleep for long.
Jung Hyeon-woo was like that now.
‘ah.’
Emotionally, it’s definitely early morning.
Considering the time I slept, it seemed that my sleep time would not exceed 6 hours.
On the one hand, it was an ambiguous moment to fall asleep.
‘I’m going to do a live broadcast today.’
It was clear that today’s schedule would be intense enough compared to yesterday’s.
That’s why Jeong Hyeon-woo, who couldn’t afford to fall asleep again, eventually got up and the senses that were about to fall asleep were awakened one by one.
Crackle!
The sound of tapping on the keyboard, which naturally resonated in the dark space, became clearer.
‘huh?’
Surprised by the sound, Jung Hyun-woo turned his gaze to the table and saw his older brother staring at the laptop monitor with an achromatic expression.
“brother!
Seeing this, Jung Hyeon-woo tried to shout something, but soon remembered his nephew who was sleeping quietly nearby, and hurriedly lowered his voice.
“Are you still working?”
Instead of answering his brother’s question, Jeong Tae-woo took the coffee cup in front of him and immediately drank it as if taking a one-shot.
It was to finish off the coffee that was not much left.
In other words, it means that you have already drunk enough to drink coffee.
The answer to Jung Hyeon-woo’s question was sufficient.
“No, it’s not even a full-time job, so you make them work until dawn like this? No bonuses? Isn’t your boss crazy?”
Jung Hyeon-woo is furious with that answer.
“I became a full-time employee this time. I am working for extra pay. I have to write a contract, but once it is done, I think the company will be able to support my medical expenses in the future.”
“Hyung, you said your company is in America, right? Wouldn’t Americans like it if I sent red ginseng as a gift?”
However, instead of answering his younger brother, who immediately changed his attitude after the explanation that followed, Jeong Tae-woo tapped the keyboard non-stop.
Having a full-time job means that there are more things to do from now on, as well as more important responsibilities.
It was a stressful job in many ways.
Of course, from Jeong Hyeon-woo’s point of view, that fact was fine.
“Since hyung got a full-time job, should we have a party? Shall we have some beer with chicken tonight?”
It’s just that he’s happy that he’s back to the time when he was as trustworthy as he used to be.
“Do what you do, do it right. When I saw it, the smartphone alerted me several times. There will be multiple out of office notifications.”
“alarm?”
It was only then that Jung Hyeon-woo grabbed his phone, which was placed on the top of the seat where he was lying, and turned it on.
And Jung Hyeon-woo’s expression hardened after checking the notification.
The sender is Rising Star Channel.
‘Is something wrong?’
Jung Hyeon-woo checked the contents of the mail sent by the Rising Star channel with a firm expression.
[We negotiated with the Abyss Guild. Regarding that, there is something to discuss regarding the future progress of the game. If a meeting is possible before the live broadcast, please let me know what time it is possible.]
Jung Hyeon-woo’s expression hardened even more at that content.
‘Abyss Guild… … It comes out eventually.’
Jung Hyeon-woo was already aware of the mentioned Abyss guild problem.
No, not to the extent that I was aware of it, but it was one of the key reasons for the reduced sleep time this time.
‘Well, Merlin and Azmo fought so openly, there’s no way there wouldn’t be a problem.’
It was passed thanks to Jung Hyeon-woo’s bigger big issue on the way, but the incident where the two giants Azmo and Merlin fought over the BJ Grand Mage was not a case that could disappear like snow.
It was also good to go further and change.
For those who like rumors about the bad relationship between the BJ Archmage and the Abyss Guild, there could be no gossip more palatable than that.
‘If I get along with the Abyss Guild, I’ll be damned about the game going forward.’
If the relationship with the Abyss Guild became uncomfortable in that way, naturally, there was no choice but to have serious discussions about future steps.
In fact, the answer to this part was written in the contents of the email.
That he negotiated with the Abyss Guild.
‘I have no choice but to act on good terms with the Abyss Guild.’
The Rising Star Channel must have asked the Abyss Guild.
At that time, in that chat, the fight between Azmo and Merlin was actually staged in advance, it was just a show to heat up the atmosphere.
Such predictions of Jung Hyeon-woo could be known the moment he entered the bulletin board of the Rising Star channel.
‘also.’
Because there was a post on the bulletin board thanking the Explorers’ Guild and the Abyss Guild for helping with the Road to the Royal Tomb quest this time.
‘It’s been talked about to some extent.’
Judging from this, it seems that the Abyss Guild and the Rising Star Channel have found a compromise.
‘Oh, it won’t be free.’
Of course, if it was an Abyss guild that Jung Hyeon-woo knew, there was a high possibility that he would have asked for something as a condition of matching his words.
We will talk about him at this meeting.
It was then.
What’s going on?”
After seeing his brother’s hard expression, Jeong Tae-woo eventually asked a question, and Jung Hyeon-woo roughly evaded the question.
“It’s less important than the fact that hyung got a full-time job, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. Rather than that, I’m leaving early today, so Hyerin and hyung take care of breakfast.”
Jung Hyeon-woo, who finished talking, immediately headed to the bathroom.
Then Hyeon-woo Jung lightly stood in front of the washbasin and stopped worrying in front of the mirror at the sink.
‘It can’t be helped.’
If it is unavoidable, all you can do is accept it.
‘Let’s just accept anything.’
When Jung Hyeon-woo reached the truth, his determination was young.
‘Yes, Jung Hyeon-woo. It’s not like I have to quit the game right away, I’m just accepting anything.’
Jung Hyeon-woo, who was determined to calmly accept everything that was given to him, shouted to himself in the mirror.
‘I will never be surprised no matter what comes.’
7.
Yes?
With Midas’ surprised expression on his face, he read the chat that came up on the chat window once more.
– Wharton: The conditions for the Abyss Guild are as follows.
– Wharton: He said he would give you a free pass at the next hunting ground if you give him information on 3 main scenario quests.
Midas, who read the contents again, tilted his head.
‘Why is this content suddenly appearing?’
What Midas expected was a situation where the Abyss Guild demanded something as a condition of turning a blind eye to the previous incident.
But what unfolded before my eyes was a completely different story from a very distant place.
‘wait for a sec.’
Of course, Midas immediately roughly grasped the meaning of the chat.
‘So I made a deal with the Abyss Guild?’
First of all, the most important thing was that the Rising Star channel made a deal with the Abyss Guild.
That means that the Rising Star Channel and the Abyss Guild are in a cooperative relationship, not hostile.
This meant that there was no superficial confrontation.
‘contents is…. .’
In addition, the contents of the transaction itself were not particularly problematic for Midas.
‘You’re saying that if I give you 3 quest information, I’ll be able to do things like this time, right?’
Midas also knew that the main scenario quest was progressing because there was no interference from the Explorers Guild this time.
‘It’s honey!’
Something to be willing to accept.
‘ah! Facial expression management.’
When he reached that point, Midas immediately started managing his facial expressions.
‘There’s nothing nice about showing a surprised face.’
As always, the player needs to show trustworthiness so that the coach can trust the player and come up with bolder strategies and tactics.
“Conditions better than expected? 3 main scenario quest information, I thought you would just ask for the whole city by city.”
Because of this, Midas reacted as if he expected this deal itself, or rather, as if it was a much better deal than he thought.
‘Could you try some more?’
Here, Midas weighed things in his head for a while, and then, as if he had made up his mind, spewed out his thoughts.
“Rather than that, it seems that it is not easy to capture the quest when you see that you want information that much. Shall we serve you one?”
– Wharton: Service?
In the chat that came up right away, Midas said with a shrug of his shoulders as if it was not a big deal.
“What would make a big difference if I gave you just one piece of information? Oh, what should I do with give and take?”
The intent of the words was actually very simple.
‘I have to pay a bribe to the Abyss Guild.’
It is often served as a bonus to customers who wish to become regulars in the market.
‘I can get as much as I give to the Abyss Guild, right?’
From Midas’ point of view, in exchange for a close relationship with the Abyss Guild, he could give at least one piece of quest information.
– Wharton: Give and take.
– Wharton: Anything you’d like to receive?
To the question that followed then, Midas answered without much hesitation.
“Gold got a new body this time, so you can ask Gold for a gift.”
Of course, I was expecting an excessive gift.
‘Abyss Guild, please give me one legendary weapon. That’s no big deal, right?’
Expectations that can be hoped for because it is the Abyss Guild, not anyone else.
– Wharton: I see. that’s how i convey it
– Wharton: If you don’t have anything else to say, this is the end of today’s meeting.
– Wharton: Thank you for the live broadcast of the royal family’s tomb attack today.
After seeing the contents of the chat, Midas patted his chest and said,
“Just trust me. Ah, the attack will start in an hour.”
– Wharton: I’ll wrap it up in there.
With that in mind, the moment the meeting ended, Midas looked at Gold with a deep smile and thought.
‘Ah, what’s coming as a gift?’

Tadak!
After the chat, Park Young-joon’s gaze turned to the bottom.
36 seconds remaining.
Park Young-jun, who confirmed the time, immediately left the chat room.
Immediately after that, a notification popped up.
– Encryption and deletion of chat content.
– I will spread the dummy chat room.
Seeing this, Park Young-joon muttered to himself.
‘You’re trustworthy.’
The object of admiration was two.
One is the ability of the person in charge of their own security.
The other, of course, was the BJ Grand Mage.
‘I always feel it, but it goes beyond common sense.’
In particular, the trustworthiness felt through this conversation with BJ Grand Wizard was stronger than ever.
It had to be.
‘To accept this deal without hesitation.’
First of all, the transaction itself was sensitive from the point of view of BJ Grand Mage.
It was a job that gave the chasers a huge advantage over the race called the main scenario.
Nevertheless, BJ Daemage was willing to give that merit.
‘I’m overflowing with room.’
Confidence that no one will catch up to him no matter how much he gives.
‘I even gave you one more.’
It didn’t stop there, but rather, BJ the great mage gave one more quest information.
Even that was a trifling price, at best, in exchange for matching gold items.
How would the Abyss Guild feel after receiving such a proposal?
‘It must be a bit bitter for the Abyss Guild.’
At least you’ll feel a feeling you’ve never felt before.
That’s why Park Young-joon expected.
The moment the Abyss Guild receives the e-mail summarizing the situation, the expression on its face will be quite interesting.
Of course, Park Young-joon did not smile at that fact.
‘It’s a real race now.’
Whatever the case may be, starting from this transaction, the Abyss Guild has an opportunity to quickly pursue the BJ Grand Mage.
Of course, it was obvious that they would run with all their might.
There was no time to smile.
‘We will do our best to support you.’
just do my best

“I didn’t expect you to be looked down on like this.”
Merlin, who read the contents of the e-mail, immediately let out a hollow laugh full of dejection.
“I didn’t even know that this day would come.”
repeated laughs.
Emma’s expression when she turned her head along with that laugh was clearly different from Merlin’s.
Her expression was colder than ever.
It didn’t look like an angry expression.
Rather, he calmly looked at the tablet PC in his hand with an expression as if he was contemplating something.
Merlin asked Emma a question.
“So what are you thinking of giving me as a gift of gold?”
In response to that question, Emma said as if it was no big deal.
“Since I don’t know which parts I want, I have to give them all. You can send me the Desert King set.”
Merlin was the same.
The moment he heard that answer, he didn’t pay much attention to that part anymore.
It was natural.
“That should be enough.”
Considering the wealth of the BJ great mage they knew, things like the Desert King set to him were just expensive home appliances in the mart.
“Anyway, BJ Archmage didn’t give us the information to get it, it’s because he just wanted to see us laugh.”
10.
‘Huh?’
Jung Hyeon-woo was sitting in the break room to take a break while handling various tasks ahead of the live broadcast.
‘Wait, what is this? why so many Wait, is this the desert king set? no wait skill card? uh? uh? uh!’
The moment Jung Hyeon-woo’s eyes were plugged into my smartphone, all of his expressions and movements stopped.
A conversation was heard in it.
“Wouldn’t it be a little later on the live broadcast?”
“Rather than that, after hearing the story, it seems like Merlin and Azmo and BJ Grand Mage did a show to cheer up the atmosphere, right?”
“Well, it’s funny how the two of them are taller. Seriously, there’s no way the two of you can kick each other, right?”
The topic of conversation is about the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage.
In the midst of that conversation, Lee Hyuk-ju said.
“Because it can’t be. I heard it through someone I know, but it was because Merlin was upset.”
“Ah, what is there to be upset about? Don’t berate me, man.”
“It’s true. Originally, the Abyss Guild gave the key to the royal family to feed BJ Archmage, but since BJ Archmage easily passed over it, Merlin, who was watching it, got mad and started chatting without realizing it.”
At Lee Hyeok-ju’s words, the guests shook their heads and refuted.
“You’re talking nonsense. What’s wrong with the Abyss Guild?”
“That’s right, the Abyss Guild, the Abyss Guild! Even Merlin!”
In response, Lee Hyuk-ju responded.
“Since when did the Abyss guild have been such a good guild…. Aren’t all the top 10 guilds trash, including them? Aren’t they the ones who build a fence among themselves and eat inside it? Hyunwoo hyung, isn’t it?”
At that time, as if Lee Hyeok-ju was looking for reinforcements, he looked at Jeong Hyeon-woo and said, “The teenage guilds and the popular guilds are dog trash.”
“You know my brother well, right? How trash the Abyss Guild is.”
To that, Jung Hyeon-woo replied.
“What kind of garbage is garbage? The Abyss Guild is a very good guild. right? Is there any guild that plays hard like the Abyss Guild? If you have time to talk nonsense like that, I’ll set up capsules to play games.”
“yes?”
“Do some capsule setting.”
“Ah yes…. .
While Lee Hyeok-ju was moving with a speechless expression on Jung Hyun-woo’s appearance, Jung Hyun-woo looked at his smartphone and said.
‘Oh my God, a big explosion skill card in the Desert King set to spend gold!’
The presents from the Abyss Guild are almost bewildering.
In that confused state, Jung Hyeon-woo interpreted the situation in his own way.
‘I’m sure he sent me this gift to forget the fuss and get along well in the future.’
This gift is sincere from the Abyss Guild in the sense that we will get along well in the future.
‘As expected, it’s distributed like the best guild in God Wars.’
Jung Hyeon-woo made a promise to the scale that only the best guild can show.
‘I will definitely repay this favor from the Abyss Guild someday!’
I will not forget this grace.
‘Oh, that’s right! Let’s praise the Abyss Guild at the opening of today’s broadcast.’
That’s how Jeong Hyeon-woo started preparing to repay the favor.
