Chapter 320. < Episode 100. BJ Extra (2). >
4.
– How is BJ Grand Mage these days? what happened?
Interest in BJ Grand Mage is rising more steeply than ever.
– No quiet.
– I heard you’re just playing hard against ants in the White Forest?
– Nothing special.
– Still called solo.
However, there was no big issue that could satisfy the heightened expectations of the public.
In fact, it had been nothing unusual so far.
Even if you are a BJ master mage, it is difficult to show something explosive right away in a hunting ground like the White Forest.
To be honest, playing solo in White Forest was already something great.
– It looks like BJ Grand Mage just wants to go?
– No matter how much you are a BJ master mage, it’s honestly hard to go crazy here again.
In any case, it was normal and normal for the expectations that had risen at this point to gradually subside.
– no! Our BJ Grand Mage is different!
– The reason BJ Grand Mage is going slowly right now is to gain the leaping power!
– Do you know what kind of person BJ Grand Mage is? huh? Wait, I’ll show you something nonsensical.
– We trust only our chief.
However, the public’s belief in BJ Grand Mage did not allow even such normal expectations to subside.
– Yes, let’s see how great the head of Neg is.
– If it’s not a big deal, from then on, I’ll be a real BJ master mage three times a day.
At this point, even the anti-fans of BJ Grand Mage, who normally tried to dampen that anticipation somehow, left it as it was.
“Guys, fighting, fighting!”
In such a situation, Midas was showing more energy than ever against the Giant Ants in the forest in front of the river.
I wasn’t aware of the situation.
“Fighting while thinking of the viewers who are waiting for our performance!”
He knew better than anyone else the situation of public opinion towards BJ Grand Mage, and even if he wanted to know, he couldn’t be unaware.
Now, Lee Hyuk-joo, who has become virtually the head of the BJ Grand Mage’s fan cafe capsule store, was praising the BJ Grand Mage’s achievements every hour and every new customer, and evangelizing his every move to everyone.
Furthermore, Jung Hyeon-woo, who is the most indifferent to BJ’s every move, was the first evangelist, so every time Midas logged out, he was listening to Lee Hyuk-ju about how great a solo BJ’s great mage was.
At that point, Midas stopped complaining.
“Let’s go as far as we can go!”
It is not too late to complain about not being enough after digesting what has already been given.
‘The fans are cheering me on, but if I’m going to say I can’t do it because it’s burdensome, then I’ll have to stop playing.’
With such determination, Midas threw a large explosion in his hand at the swarming worker ants.
A large explosion orb left Midas’ hand and landed on the giant ant that rushed like a river.
Kwakwang!
Kwakwang!
Soon after, two explosions exploded in succession.
In the midst of the explosion, Midas’s gaze was once again looking into the distance.
That was it.
Sha Sha Sha!
Stsutsu!
Midas didn’t even look at the innumerable giant ant worker ants running towards him with a creepy sound.
It was because of faith.
king!
“Not a single one can come close to the master!”
“Senior, I will block this place!”
The belief that Lucky, Gold, and Silver would protect him even at the cost of his life. In that belief, Midas was faithful to his role.
“Shock Wave.”
While ants gathered from all sides and rushed like a river in front, he used wide-area magic toward the place where the most ants gathered.
“Inferno.”
generously.
and exactly.
[The Giant Ant has been defeated.]
[The Giant Ant has been defeated.]
In that way, Midas perfectly brought out the maximum efficiency of his wide-area magic.
Can’t catch more than this!
to such an extent.
From the wizard’s point of view, even if he felt catharsis, it was strangely non-existent.
Because it was the same play as a magician’s romance.
A romance that cannot help but get drunk on the game!
“Guys, let’s jump!”
king!
“Yes Master!”
Even so, Midas never fell into battle.
Rather than being immersed in ecstasy, he clearly grasped the situation and managed risks with cool-headedness.
It was the same with retreating now.
Surely he could have fought more if he wanted to, but Midas chose to retreat more neatly instead.
The value of that choice was immediately apparent less than a minute into the retreat.
“Master, the ants dare not come after us!”
Unlike normal hit-and-run, which takes about 5 minutes for a chase and takes more than 10 minutes if it is long, Midas and his party were able to finish the chase in just one minute.
Even in the leisure that came naturally, Midas heard a notification in his ear.
[You have killed the Giant Ant.]
The aftermath of the magic you threw has finally killed the Giant Ant.
[The Giant Ant has been defeated.]
[The level has risen.]
Midas’ expression changed at the happy news at the end.
‘come!’
Good news.
Of course, what Midas wanted was not news of leveling up.
[Lucky’s body is seething with the power of the Goddess.]
[Lucky’s body changes.]
The news that Lucky’s evolution quest has finally been completed.
Aww!
At that moment, Lucky began to let out a much heavier howl.
At the same time, Lucky’s body began to glow and grow a little bigger.
[Your divine beast, Lucky, gains new powers from the throne.]
[You choose Lucky’s new ability yourself.]
After hearing that notification after a long time, Midas let out a long breath.
“Whoa!”
‘Lucky.’
There was no joy on Midas’ face as he looked at Lucky, who was howling in that state.
‘request.’
There is only one thing, desperation.
‘Only you believe.’
In that earnest prayer, 100 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
‘Gatki-nim, show me your luck… … uh?’
After roughly checking the 100 cards like that, Midas stopped talking to himself in his heart.
After that, I closed and opened my eyes for a long time.
‘uh?’
Seeing the scenery in front of his eyes again, Midas couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes.
‘what? Why are there no cards?’
Out of 100 cards, only a handful of them emitted light.
Even the yellow light, which signifies a rare level right now, did not exceed ten.
Even the unique grade red color was only two.
‘no way? Aren’t there legends?’
I couldn’t even see the golden light.
‘ah!’
At that moment, Midas was delighted to find a golden card hidden among the yellow lights.
But even that half-color didn’t last long.
‘Damn one… … .’
There is only one choice anyway, but isn’t it true that there are many options to choose a good one?
‘What do we do? If it’s not Lucky, I don’t have anything more powerful to show?’
Moreover, since his expectations for Lucky exceeded the high level, and since he was Midas who practically bet everything on Lucky, the disappointment towards the reality in front of his eyes was bound to be great.
And the emotions Midas felt immediately changed direction and flew towards Midas.
‘ah…. .’
If expectations are high, disappointment is also great. The countless fans who have high expectations for Midas will feel this feeling sooner or later.
‘finished.’
Amidst the chill, Midas’ eyes studied Lucky’s one and only golden card.
[In-Rang(人植)]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: Shinsoo transforms into human mode. In human mode, all items that the player can wear can be worn.
And the moment he confirmed the skill, Midas closed his eyes once more.
In that state, he spoke softly to Lucky.
“Godki-sama.”
king!
“Forgive me for not trusting you!”
king!
After that, Midas opened his eyes again and looked at the card in front of his eyes with amazement rather than joy.
‘It’s a furry!’
Inlang.
A skill that humanizes Lucky as described.
Its value was absolute.
Because it was the only way Shinsoo could wear the item.
‘Am I not the first among those who possessed the Divine Water of Gaman Fenrir to have the ability to transform humans?’
In addition, in the case of the divine beast of Fenrir, there has never been a case where a personification skill has been acquired.
‘finished.’
At this moment, there was only one thought left in Midas’ mind.
‘All I have to do is get permission for a live broadcast of the temple of Aegis.’
5.
“Chairman, will the Abyss Guild allow a live broadcast?”
Park Young-jun, who was about to eat a hamburger for lunch at his desk in response to a question from a subordinate, put the hamburger down and said,
“It’s a bit sensitive, though.”
Park Young-joon wants to eat a hamburger again with the answer.
“Isn’t that a bit sensitive?”
At the question that followed, Park Young-joon stopped eating hamburgers again, and his subordinate took advantage of the gap and continued to ask questions.
“It’s an Aegis Orb, right? In fact, a graduation item for buffers. It sounds like a very sensitive thing to do live broadcasts that get those things, right?
The starting point of the story was none other than a proposal from the Rising Star Channel to the Abyss Guild.
A suggestion that BJ Grand Mage wants to live broadcast the attack on Aegis temple.
When the proposal came out, none of the Rising Star Channel officials thought that the Abyss Guild would approve it.
“It’s not a level 100 or 200, but it’s an item used by Abyss guild members who have reached level 400 now.”
As the employee said, it was because of the extraordinary value of the Aegis Orb.
First of all, the value of the item itself was different.
“From the standpoint of the Abyss Guild, isn’t it the same as strengthening competitors?”
Among them, what makes Aegis Orb different is that those who can obtain and wear this item are the competitors of the 10th guild and the Abyss guild.
The Aegis Orb is a kind of high-tech strategic item.
Broadcasting a live broadcast on a channel watched by 100 million people to obtain such cutting-edge strategic materials?
It’s hard to get permission easily.
“If something goes wrong, there is no choice.”
Park Young-joon did not know that either.
So he added one more option when making his proposal.
“Then you just need to receive the Thunderstorm skill card as a reward.”
Either allow me to broadcast, or give me a Thunderstorm skill card for the cost of silence.
And when they heard that option, all the Rising Star Channel staff had the same thoughts.
‘Honestly, this is a scam.’
Park Young-joon is trying to use the Abyss Guild’s situation to get the Thunder Storm skill card.
“Then can I have some hamburgers now?”
“Ah yes…. .
After a conversation with a subordinate, Park Young-joon, who started eating hamburgers, made all the employees tongue-in-cheek.
‘You’re really amazing.’
Although what Park Young-joon was doing was far from being good or right, it was clear that something was falling in his hand.
The case of creating something out of nothing.
‘Everyone thinks I’m ripping off the Abyss Guild.’
Of course, what Youngjun Park was aiming for was not the Thunder Storm skill card.
‘What I’m trying to do is not to steal, but to hit the back of the Abyss Guild’s head with a hammer.’
to inflict a greater blow.
It was thanks to certainty that he had such intentions.
‘In the first place, the Abyss Guild couldn’t even give a Thunderstorm card, right?’
The relationship between the Abyss Guild and BJ Archmage was tougher than the world thought.
‘The relationship between the two is worse than the Korea-Japan relationship.’
In such a tough relationship, would the Abyss Guild really think that BJ Archmage made this suggestion just to get the Thunder Storm skill?
At least I don’t think I made this suggestion with really pure intentions.
Rather, they would think it was a provocation to scratch their temper.
‘More than anything else, I’m on the verge of a brink.’
Especially from the point of view of the Abyss Guild, BJ Grand Mage was never a reliable existence.
A situation that has already gone as far as it goes.
‘It’s not even a situation that requires permission.’
At the same time, if the Abyss Guild didn’t want to do it, on the contrary, trying to do more was the move BJ Archmage had shown so far.
In such a situation, can the Abyss Guild give the Thunderstorm skill card and be sure that the BJ Archmage will remain calm?
No, the situation itself was absurd.
‘I’m going to attack the temple of Aegis right away, which was supposed to take at least 15 days… … It’s not reckless, it’s crazy.’
BJ Grand Mage’s speed is at a level that defies common sense judgment.
‘BJ’s great mage’s hard work.’
In addition, it was clear that this move was a result of BJ Grand Mage’s thorough planning.
BJ Grand Mage has been moving faster and more splendidly than everyone thought recently.
It was like accelerating, and in the eyes of the Abyss Guild, it was like intentionally speeding up.
In many ways, there was no choice but to be wary and suspicious of BJ Grand Mage.
‘The deciding public opinion.’
When thinking that far, the Abyss Guild must have thought about the aftermath of not allowing the live broadcast.
While BJ Grand Mage, who has already released the main scenario quest free of charge, is being praised, he is trying to disclose information once again, but the Abyss Guild blocks it?
‘Abyss Guild, public opinion shouldn’t be scary, but advertisers and fans are different.’
Even if the Abyss Guild had resistance to swearing, it was clear that if they ate enough to affect the number of viewers and advertisers, there would be a blow.
‘Then my thoughts change.’
At this point, it wasn’t bad for the Abyss Guild to just allow live broadcasting.
‘It’ll be easier if I give up.’
Public opinion would turn favorable, and there was no need to give the BJ Archmage the Thunderstorm skill card, or worry about being stabbed in the back by him.
‘If I step away from the game like that, it’s the right way to take a shot.’
Of course, the moment the decision came out, Park Young-joon was preparing to strike the back of the Abyss Guild.
“Here, boss.”
An employee came up to Park Young-jun, who was checking his plans while eating a hamburger.
“There is a call from the Abyss Guild.”
“what?”
“that is…. I will allow you.”
At that letter, the atmosphere in the office suddenly turned chilly.
‘really?’
‘Then does that mean that the process of obtaining Aegis orbs will be broadcast live?’
The moment when something that can be said to be a major event in many ways is predicted.
“okay?”
On the other hand, Park Young-joon crumpled up the hamburger wrapping paper he had eaten and said as if he had waited.
“Then now we need to recruit advertisers.”
With that, Park Young-joon, who threw the wrapping paper into the trash can located under his desk, immediately took out his smartphone and made a call to one place.
“This is a rising star channel.”
The wait was short.
“I want to talk to Azmo. Awesome live broadcast billboards are empty, what are you going to do? The advertising fee is the Thunderstorm skill card. Oh call? All right.”
And the call was short.
“Live broadcasting has been approved, advertisers have been recruited, and now there is only one thing left.”
However, the aftermath of those short things was indescribable.
“Everyone, stand by so that we can do the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage anytime. The title of the broadcast is Aegis Temple Attack.”
It was the moment when the big event that everyone in the world had been waiting for was caught.
