[Royal Family Legacy]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 259 or lower
– Quest Content: You have been asked to protect the royal family’s legacy sleeping in the sand forest from the Desert King.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed to ‘Desert King’.
There was nothing particularly special about the contents of the new quest window in front of Midas’ eyes.
Go to the Sand Forest and defeat the Desert King!
What was expected after that was nothing special. You just have to do the Desert King raid.
– Hey breaking news! A notification has been issued to all players in the desert right now!
– It turned into a stage for the Sand Forest event!
But now, a typhoon was raging in Midas’ chat window.
– BJ Grand Mage triggered the event.
– Another BJ grand mage made an accident.
– Kya, I’m watching the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage with this taste!
A typhoon created by himself, not by anyone else.
It wasn’t just a typhoon.
From Midas’ point of view, it is definitely a typhoon that deserves to be calmly analyzed and acted upon.
‘driving me crazy.’
But the problem was that Midas didn’t have time for that right now.
‘There is no battle.’
A typhoon blew, but apart from that, Midas had an obligation to satisfy viewers through Gold’s solo battle.
But now that opportunity has been blown away.
Then there was only one option left.
‘I’m going somehow with this.’
“Hey, this is more fun than I thought.”
Instead of the pheasant they originally wanted to catch, they had no choice but to finish the live broadcast with this number of pheasants, somehow raising the mood.
“I will start by sorting out the situation. It seems that an event like a meteorite crash occurred because of the main scenario quest I am currently working on. The place where it occurred is the sand forest, of course, the target is the king of the desert.”
That’s how Midas started to lead the atmosphere, and with his initiative, the chaotic atmosphere in the chat window began to be sorted out.
“I’ll have to go to the Sand Forest to know the details, but to put it simply, the Desert King raid difficulty seems to have increased.”
In the chat window, instead of confusion, there was a sense of anticipation.
“Because it happened…. .
Ahead of an unexpectedly difficult event, BJ Grand Mage never showed anything that was not fun.
– What are you trying to do?
– I look forward to it more than the lottery winning announcement day.
Midas said in front of the expectations of such viewers.
“The first thing to do is to talk to the midfield guild again, right?”
The moment he said those words, the anticipation that had risen in the chat window collapsed slightly.
– Oh, pour cold water again.
– Better say Lucky. This is BJ Grand Mage. It has no words and is no fun.
– That’s why you’re still solo.
The natural expression of disappointment.
But for Midas, it was a natural thing to do.
‘If I work without the midfield guild and come in later, it becomes a real headache.’
A state in which he promised to face off against the midfield guild over the desert king raid of the sand forest.
‘It’s nothing else, it’s my customer.’
Above all, the relationship with the Jungwon Guild was the relationship between the client and the client.
You can’t break down that very important relationship.
Furthermore, this had to be done thoroughly even for customer candidates who would entrust the request to the Rising Star Channel in the future.
There is no trust, but there is no one who spends a lot of money.
‘Since the scale of the event has changed, I don’t know if I can adjust the amount I can receive.’
Also, as the situation changed, the calculations also needed to change.
In many ways, it meant that I had to talk to the midfield guild about this changed situation.
“Then, first of all, I will talk to the midfield guild…. .
It was then.
The moment Midas gets the viewers’ understanding and is about to have a meeting with the midfield guild.
[Yehwa sponsored $10,161.]
[Yehwa: You don’t have to.]
Yeha She immediately set the stage for conversation through a sponsored chat..
‘Huh?’
Naturally, Midas was surprised.
– The midfield guild is here!
– It seems to be announcing something. Otherwise, you couldn’t have come so quickly, right?
– Anything is good, so let’s explode!
On the other hand, viewers’ expectations rose once again.
What kind of deal will the midfield guild deal with BJ Grand Mage in front of this big event?
The Jungwon Guild answered that question.
[Yehwa sponsored $10,162.]
[Yehwa: As a result of a combination of various situations, I decided that there was no point in making a decision like this.] [
Yehwa sponsored $10,163.]
[Yehwa: So, the Daejeon Let’s make it happen.]
[Yehwa sponsored $10,164.]
[Yehwa: Of course, BJ Grand Mage has the right to decide, so I’ll follow their decision.]
I want to make the showdown never happen!
– what? don’t you?
– The story takes a strange turn?
In the shocking declaration of a bomb to the midfield guild, the chat window also felt desolate as if it had been hit by a bomb.
‘uh?’
And Midas’ head turned white.
‘Why suddenly?’
Why are the midfield guilds losing money ahead of such a big event?
To be honest, this was a reasonable choice.
Previously, the midfield guild had already been properly beaten by the BJ master mage in the meteorite collision field.
The reason why I chose the Sand Forest Desert King raid as the stage for the revenge match this time was to remove as many variables as possible, unlike that time.
But is it enforced in a state where there are huge variables?
That’s a bunch.
‘shit.’
Of course, in the current situation, it was impossible for Midas to make such a cool judgment and paint a picture like that.
And that was just fine.
I have to do something.
The important thing now is that the midfield guild’s turn is over, and the midfield guild gave BJ Grand Mage a choice, but the BJ Grand Mage has no right to decide, and in the end, the midfield guild had to be excluded and they had to make a promise that would satisfy viewers.
‘Anything.’
Midas, who had come to that idea, finally screamed after thinking about it.
“It doesn’t matter. Then I have to do it alone.”
Declaration of solo play.
Of course, this feeling alone was not enough.
Wasn’t Midas doing solo play?
“I’m going to attack this completely and purely alone.”
What you need is something more intense than that.
“Those who intervene in the sand forest attack will be judged as obstructors and eliminated.”
We will not tolerate any intervention from anyone!
– Are you really going to attack alone? That’s great.
– That’s why it’s solo!
– BJ Grand Mage, let’s go solo until we die!
Admiration came out in the chat window at the very strong declaration of will.
‘I’m weak.’
However, the admiration was not as intense as Midas had thought.
‘Should I run more?’
It looks like it needs something extra.
At that moment, an idea flashed in Midas’ mind.
‘Let’s do that one more time.’
that was used once before.
“Then how about this one?”
2.
“Can I do it this way?”
Let’s do it for nothing. The moment Yehwa sent the sponsorship chat, she immediately turned her gaze to the other monitor.
Then, a chat appeared on the visible chat window.
– Abyss Guild: Yes, well done.
Upon hearing that answer, Yehwa immediately turned her gaze to watch BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast.
There was no flicker in her eyes.
‘I thought something like this would happen.’
It was because of what was expected.
As soon as she saw the royal family tomb quest, Yehwa thought.
Although the exact content is unknown, it is said that a variable that did not exist before will appear in some way ahead of the Desert King raid due to BJ Grand Mage.
And if that happened, Yehwa was not going to follow the steps of BJ Grand Mage.
‘There’s only one revenge match.’
If I didn’t win the revenge match this time, I had to assume that there would be no next chance.
I couldn’t afford to miss such a precious opportunity.
Of course, this was only Ye-hwa’s idea, and unfortunately, she did not have the right to decide everything by herself.
Because now she had a partner.
said her co-worker.
– Abyss Guild: You don’t have to go to hell and deal with demons.
I wish I could put that idea into practice.
– Abyss Guild: If the difficulty of this Desert King raid is higher than that of the meteorite impact field, it will self-destruct if left alone.
It was as described below.
The reason why BJ Archmage was able to easily catch the boss monster in the last meteorite impact field was because of the support of the Jungwon Guild and the Explorers Guild.
If those two guilds hadn’t sorted out the monsters around them and hadn’t supported them afterwards, it wouldn’t have been easy to catch them.
It was the same even now.
Midfield guilds participating in the Desert King Raid?
If the midfield guild wins, it’s a jackpot, but if it fails, it’s like helping BJ Grand Mage progress through the main scenario quest.
Of course, until now, I had no choice but to pursue that jackpot, so I had no choice but to make unreasonable choices.
– Abyss Guild: As a result of grasping information on the current main scenario quest, we will definitely have a chance.
However, the tone of the Abyss Guild has changed recently.
There may be a way to break down the BJ Archmage much easier than you think.
So there is no reason to be overbearing.
‘Looks like you’ve caught something. I don’t know what it is.’
Of course, the Abyss guild did not tell the midfield guild any details about it.
Yehwa did not raise a big question about that part.
‘Because there’s no way they can trust us.’
Because she didn’t tell the Abyss Guild everything she knew either.
That’s why she focused on BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast with a calm expression.
What choice would he make in this situation?
– I’m going to attack this purely and alone.
And the example of his choice that came out made me laugh inside.
‘Am I making an irrational number?’
It is a situation where a stimulating rice cake is needed to satisfy viewers in many ways, but looking at the future situation, it was never a good choice.
On the one hand, I understood.
‘Well, there’s nothing else in this situation.’
If BJ Grand Mage, who has been playing solo until now, mentions team play with other factions here, it will have the opposite effect.
However, it is not possible to suddenly bring in another rival force such as the midfield guild and fight together.
In the end, there was a limit to the rice cakes that could be thrown.
It wasn’t even a good cake.
‘The reaction is not good.’
For viewers who expected a matchup with the Jungwon Guild, it was nothing more or less than a chicken instead of a pheasant.
It was then.
– Then how about this one?
BJ Grand Mage said.
– hide and seek.
3.
“Hide and Seek.”
The moment Midas spit out those words, a response immediately appeared in the chat window.
– hide and seek?
Is it a catch me if you can show?
ㄴ Isn’t it a search for the hidden BJ master mage?
ㄴ Everyone, be quiet. BJ Grand Mage is talking!
Midas said in the reaction of the viewers who were tempted.
“Anyway, the event match with the midfield guild is over, so there’s no need to attack quickly, right? Then you should enjoy it. It’s simple. I will give prize money to those who come to visit me in the sand forest.”
While spitting out the words, Midas immediately looked at the chat window’s reaction.
Then, in my head, I estimated the amount of the prize money.
‘Would it be worth a thousand dollars? Oh, it’s a million won… … ah i don’t know Let’s run for now.’
The amount he set was around $1,000.
From Midas’ point of view, it was a huge amount of money that required determination.
When Midas was making up his mind like that.
[Azmo sponsored $10,165.]
[Azmo: I’ll give you the prize money.]
The atmosphere in the chat window changed instantly.
– Azmo gave it away?
– then?
Strange when Azmo, not anyone else, mentions the prize and doesn’t get interested.
[Gustav sponsored $10,166.]
[Gustav: So, how much do you want to give?]
[Azmo sponsored $10,167.]
[Azmo: At least as much chatting value should come out]
Chatting value!
– Ten thousand dollars!
– $10,000 if you find BJ Grand Mage!
The moment when the event to find the hidden BJ master mage comes out once again.
[Rapo sponsored $10,168.]
[Rapo: Finding is the condition, right? Aren’t you catching it?]
[Azmo sponsored $10,169.]
[Azmo: There must be a lot of people who will give you $1 million if you catch BJ Grand Mage? You just have to find it. Let’s just do a small event.]
[Rapo sponsored $10,170.]
[Rapo: Then can the Undead Guild participate?]
At that moment, the Undead Guild suddenly declared their participation in the war.
– wait for a sec! How much is it then?
– You mean 10,000 Azmo and 1 Undead Guild?
– Twenty thousand dollars? Even if you just find it?
The moment the amount doubles.
[Gustav sponsored $10,171.]
[Gustav: That sounds like fun. I also participate.] Even
Gustav, a rich man who is not lacking in the expression of a rich man, participated in such a donation war, although not as much as Azmo.
[Sasaki Kojiro sponsored $10,172.]
[Sasaki Kojiro: It seems that everyone is overflowing with rotten money. Seeing that they just spread money without putting any conditions on it.]
[Kojiro Sasaki sponsored $10,173.]
[Kojiro Sasaki: I can participate as long as the guild logo is put in the advertisement after the live broadcast. Would that be okay? ]
Lastly, even Kojiro Sasaki called for conditional participation in the war.
– Come on. How much is it?
– Forty thousand dollars! Forty thousand dollars!
Suddenly, the chat window became a mess at the doubled amount.
That was the moment.
[Wharton sponsored $10174.]
[Wharton: This is a rising star channel. I accept the terms of the Sword Guild. In addition, the Rising Star Channel will also participate in the battle.]
Even the Rising Star Channel bet on this hide-and-seek game.
– Fifty thousand dollars!
– You can win the lottery just by finding BJ Grand Mage Lottery!
The moment the prize money was incomparable to that of the last time searching for the hidden BJ grand mage, the atmosphere in the chat window went beyond a heated level and was in a state of panic.
‘uh?’
And Midas’s head was in a bomb state as well.
‘Why are things like this?’
Did you think that the prize money, which was expected to be about 1,000 dollars at most, would suddenly be 50 times?
But the surprise was short-lived.
No, Midas was not given time to be surprised.
‘Let’s clean up first!’
Because there was only one person who could put an end to this atmosphere.
“Fifty thousand dollars if I find it.”
Midas put an end to it.
“I’ll see you in the sand forest then!”
It was the moment when the most expensive game of hide and seek in God Wars history began.
