Chapter 392. < Episode 123. Legacy of Barman (2). >

[You have killed Crocus.]
“Whoa.
The moment he heard the notification, Midas let out a short sigh.
‘Today is the 6th day.’
On the 6th day after the bounty race ended, all Midas had done was to hunt Crocus non-stop in the Black Desert.
king!
“Master, another group is coming!”
It was a very boring day.
“Yes, it looks very good.”
Of course, it wasn’t that the days were meaningless.
‘Everyone can see better thanks to having three targets on their bodies.’
It was because I was able to properly practice how to use the newly acquired Dragon’s Eyes skill through the last six days of battle.
It wasn’t just about matching.
Wasn’t Midas already at the highest level in God Wars?
‘I’ve gotten used to how to set an angle to some extent now.’
Practice meant figuring out the movement lines that could be attacked in real time from various places.
The results of that practice weren’t bad either.
‘As the attack route increases, the risk decreases and the amount of damage dealt increases.’
There is only one target that appears through the Dragon’s Eye effect.
Therefore, if the target was not visible, the amount of damage would inevitably be reduced, but not anymore.
Whether the monster is facing forward, backward, or sideways, Midas can always expect the best amount of damage.
[You have killed Crocus.]
[Your level has risen.]
The crocuses you caught without rest for 6 days gave Midas experience.
‘With this, level 338.’
I leveled up at an absurd rate of one level up per day.
A pace that players in Black Desert would call crazy.
To be honest, it was hard to believe that even Midas did it himself.
– That’s great. It’s not long now. Try harder.
‘At this pace, I’ll be able to complete the quest by tomorrow.’
Naturally, the long-distance task of the sword was also showing its end.
A situation full of only good things in many ways.
“Ehh.”
Even in such a situation, Midas’ expression was not very good.
‘The problem is the reaction of the viewers… … .’
The reason for his expression is that the fans of BJ Grand Mage are complaining about BJ’s actions.
It was natural.
‘Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have brought up the story of the quest.’
When the bounty race ended immediately, Midas said he would do the next quest in front of everyone, and naturally, viewers’ expectations soared higher than ever.
The online community is filled with all sorts of speculation about BJ’s next live broadcast.
The level of such speculation was extraordinary.
The BJ Archmage will ride a dragon and sweep the next hunting ground, the extreme zone. The BJ Archmage will finally use the Meteor Strike. He will conquer the extreme zone with only physical magic. … etc.
‘I took it out for no reason, and the anticipation is rising… … .’
Did you catch only crocuses in the Black Desert for nearly a week in a situation where expectations were running rampant?
Viewers who feel that their expectations have been betrayed cannot stand still.
‘I heard a lot of cursing right now.’
The God Wars community has already been full of bad comments about Midas’ actions.
Of course, it was nice to be cursed at.
Because Midas himself was the one who planted expectations, and in the end, he was the one who couldn’t live up to those expectations.
The problem was that the curse did not come to Midas himself, but to the Rising Star channel.
That was what Midas was worried about.
‘I’m sorry, boss.’
Rising Star Channel President, who believes in himself more than anyone else, is going through tougher days than ever.
4.
“Boss.”
“why?
“Is there still no word from BJ Archmage?”
In response to the employee’s question, Park Young-joon shrugged his shoulders and said.
“No.”
Upon hearing that answer, the employee’s expression wrinkled, and the atmosphere in the office subsided once again.
Some of the dogs let out a sigh.
‘Ah, how long do I have to be cursed at?’
‘Even my wife has been cursing me about what I’m doing here.’
It was a sigh that came from criticism from viewers and fans who felt betrayed by BJ’s grand mage’s actions.
As much as that, public opinion about BJ Grand Mage was not good.
It wasn’t just public opinion.
“Another BJ Archmage criticism video has been uploaded.”
“These days, all the kids who gossip on broadcasts are biting the BJ master mage.”
“There are so many accusations, it’s almost boring.”
In God Wars, well-known media outlets and Wars Tube channels also bit BJ Archmage diligently.
It was because the popularity of BJ Grand Mage became so huge that everyone rushed at it.
“Isn’t this really dangerous?”
“It’s already dangerous. There’s no way you can turn this situation around with anything, right?”
“Do I really need to make a false announcement about my solo escape?”
The Rising Star Channel, which also has a management role in managing such BJ Grand Wizard, couldn’t feel comfortable.
On the other hand, Park Young-joon’s feelings were different.
‘Because he’s really wise.’
Rather than expressing dissatisfaction or concern with BJ’s current move, he was very satisfied.
‘In a situation like this, even the All-Star team can’t argue.’
Immediately after the end of the bounty race, Park Young-joon received a report on the incident with the All-Star team.
It is said that Gord tried to step down as leader, but became leader again in an anonymous vote that immediately followed.
And the fact that starting with his re-election, the All-Star team went from a group where 7 guilds held hands lightly to a group that hugged each other warmly.
Lastly, the all-star team had the venom to restore their honor against the BJ Archmage.
Such a drastic change was only to have a decisive battle against the only BJ Grand Mage to restore his honor.
Naturally, the All-Star team was determined to start a fight against the BJ Archmage immediately if they had an excuse.
‘To restore my honor, I have to fight on a stage where everyone can see.’
However, the situation changed when BJ Grand Mage hunted only Crocus in the Black Desert.
‘Because pros can’t fight on the street.’
Even if he fought with the BJ Grand Mage for 100 days over hunting crocuses in the Black Desert, his honor would not be restored in the slightest.
In other words, while BJ Grand Mage was hunting Crocus, the All-Star team was unable to approach him.
‘It’s just buying time.’
As time passes, BJ Grand Mage will be preparing to face the all-star team in the next hunting ground, the extreme zone.
In a situation where I knew such a big picture, there was no concern or worry about criticism public opinion.
‘What am I really wasting my time preparing for?’
On the contrary, the anticipation for the BJ Grand Mage to spend so much time preparing is only rising.
And that wasn’t all.
‘As much as they deliberately provoked the All-Star team, they say that they have something to beat against them… … .’
Park Young-joon believed that the comment that BJ Grand Mage gave at the end of the last live broadcast was the goal for this big picture.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have just thrown such a comment there.
‘It’s clear that the moment the next call comes in, the moment the All-Star team ends.’
In other words, BJ Daemage had no intention of dragging the fight against the all-star team to a distant place.
‘Anyway, now, in a situation where I have to compete with a 10th guild rather than a tier 1 guild, I can’t wear a big hump like an all-star team.’
Now, sooner or later there will be a bigger war.
‘The preparations are over.’
Correspondingly, Park Young-jun also prepared everything he could.
‘Yeah, I wanted a game like this. such a huge game. This is why I am addicted to gambling.’
Because of that, now I feel joy rather than fear.
“Come on, we all know how hard it is.”
Of course, Park Young-joon did not express such an idea.
“Still, let’s be patient.”
Just like the staff, he frowns and comforts the staff.
At that moment, an email arrived from Park Young-joon.
‘It’s here.’
5.
[You have killed Crocus.]
[Your level has risen.]
The moment you hear that notification.
– Good work.
The sword, not anyone else, was the first to congratulate Midas on leveling up.
But Midas did not receive the celebration.
“Stat window.”
Midas, who quickly activated the stat window, checked it.
[Midas]
– Level: 339
– Constellation: Word Dragon
– Occupation: Archmage
– Ability: Strength (5+3291)/Stamina (5+3321)/Intellect (1595+5211)/Magic Power (344+4712) – Extra
points : 4
And soon after distributing the ability points, he said to the sword.
“Now let’s move on to the next one. What can I do?”
‘I can’t waste my time here.’
speedy conclusion.
– You seem to have come to your senses now. I like that attitude.
The sword readily complied with Midas’ will.
– good night. From now on, I will give Barman’s teachings in earnest. Through repeated battles, your weapons have accumulated powerful power that you do not know. All that remains is to properly unlock that power.
“What is that method?”
– Do you know what lies beyond this desert?
Midas immediately answered that question.
“Isn’t that the extreme zone?”
– Yes, it’s an extreme zone.
extreme zone.
It was a hunting ground that appeared after the Black Desert, where players could level up to level 389.
‘My nickname is Extreme Hell.’
In addition, it was also a very difficult hunting ground.
‘Because the hunting ground properties change every 24 hours.’
The reason was that the characteristics of the extreme regions change on a 24-hour, day-by-day basis.
It was literally.
The forests of the extreme regions sometimes burned, sometimes frozen, hardened like rocks, or misty or hurricanes raged.
And the monsters that appeared, the spirits of the extreme zone, changed according to the nature of the forest.
That’s why it was nicknamed Extreme Hell.
For players who specialize in a specific attribute, whether it’s offense or defense, in the worst case, they just had to blow the whole day away.
In addition, there were many cases where players who were currently hunting in extreme regions were specialized in one attribute.
‘I’m going there anyway.’
For that reason, the level-up speed in the extreme zone had to be very slow compared to other hunting grounds.
‘On the Wailing Wall.’
That’s why quite a few players wailed as they were stranded in the extreme zone.
It was not an easy stage.
– A place where the environment changes day by day. There, from now on, you must collect two types of spirit hearts that will awaken your weapon’s potential.
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
– There, he said that from now on, I need to get two of the Frozen Heart and the Blazing Heart.
And just listening to the quest given on that stage made me feel that it wasn’t easy.
‘Doesn’t this sound like a joke again?’
Of course it was natural.
‘It’s a weapon upgrade, right?’
It’s nothing else, it’s an opportunity to develop your weapon to the next level now.
Isn’t that an opportunity to make that great dragon slayer weapon, not just growth?
If it’s easy, that’s odd.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
But for Midas, it was different.
Obviously, when he moves to the extreme zone, countless viewers will have expectations again.
‘Wouldn’t the viewers’ dissatisfaction really explode if I just went to the extreme zone and just did the quest?’
But what if there were no special events and nothing special about hunting normal monsters?
The feeling of betrayal felt by viewers will double.
Naturally, the burden felt by the Rising Star channel would also double.
‘Should I force an event?’
At this point, before going on a quest, you should have at least one collaboration event match with another guild or player.
At that point, Midas made a decision.
‘Yeah, it’s impossible to just do it anymore. I need to explain the situation on the Rising Star channel and have an event match.’
Before proceeding with the quest, let’s do something to cool the fans’ heated anger a little bit.
‘Even if Lucky and I fight.’
Midas, who glanced at Lucky once and organized his thoughts, spoke towards the sword with a downcast expression.
“It must be difficult to find those two hearts over there, right? There is no such thing as an easy way, right?”
With hopes in mind.
– All right. Each of the two hearts is hidden in a temple in the Far Lands.
“yes?”
At the words of the sword that followed, Midas’ expression changed.
“A temple?”
– Yes.
“So you just need to find the temple, right?”
– Yes, you just need to find the temple. I’m looking for a place that no one knows, but I don’t even have any clues.
“Oh yeah?”
At that moment, Midas’ face brightened.
‘It’s not like hunting monsters, it’s good if you’re looking for a temple.’
He had no doubt that he would see two pillars of light to welcome him as soon as he entered the extreme zone.
“Oh, that must be really hard to find. you hoo!”
– Yeah, it’s hard to find. very. But why do you feel good?
“Ayu, what could be good for you? It sounds like it will be a very difficult hardship and adversity just by hearing it. You are mistaken.
oops!
– Smile?
“No, because I suddenly remembered something interesting.”
Midas, who roughly glossed over the reason for his laughter, spoke without hiding a smile.
“ah! It’s so hard that I’m going to die, so let’s go quickly! Guys! Get your gear now!”
‘I have to send an email to the boss saying that I am going to the extreme zone after graduating from Black Desert. It’s fine to hold any event.’
6.
– Go to the extreme zone. You can catch any event match.
The moment he checked the contents of the mail, Park Young-joon quickly deleted it.
And I thought.
‘The time has finally come.’
Now it’s time to go to war with the all-star team.
‘I have to stick with the all-star team.’
Of course, what we have to do now is to declare war on the all-star team.
‘As expensive as possible.’
Of course, I had no intention of giving this fight away for free.
Anyway, what was urgent was the All-Star team. Moreover, the All-Star team was in a state of hot body over the past week.
This means that you have to pay the maximum amount you can afford.
That was the reason.
reel.
“yes.
“Contact the Undead Guild.”
“yes? Where?”
“The Undead Guild. Aren’t the 1.5 group kids over there now in the extreme zone? Let’s talk.”
Park Young-joon The reason why he wants to contact the Undead Guild, one of the top 10 guilds.
‘To sell at a high price, I have to bring out a competitor.’
