“What happened, boss?”
“Meeting.”
Park Young-joon answered the subordinate’s question as if it was nothing and sat down in the seat reserved for him.
“Rather than that, how about a subjugation team quest video?”
Then he asked a question that quickly changed the subject of the conversation.
The subordinate responded with a delightful smile.
“I edit and upload only the highlights, but the number of views is no joke. The number of subscribers is increasing as well.”
Good news to hear too.
However, Park Yeongjun, who heard the news, did not look very happy.
A subordinate who confirmed the look on his face asked a question.
“Are there any problems?”
“Yes. Next live broadcast topic.”
“ah.
After that, the subordinates no longer questioned him.
And the other subordinates who were listening to the conversation with their ears pricked up also smiled bitterly.
It was because I knew.
‘Well, the next thing I have to catch is the Red Goblin chieftain.’
What is the next live broadcast topic?
‘I have to catch it as a party play, but I haven’t found a suitable partner yet.’
And to the fact that nothing has been done about him right now.
“Ah, finding the right partner is harder than making a star.”
It wasn’t without a partner.
“What kind of guy’s proposals are piled up like this?”
Rather, the problem was that there were too many proposals against it.
Of course, that was natural.
Currently, BJ Grand Wizard is the hottest existence for players below level 200. Having a broadcast like that was like the best opportunity to raise awareness at once.
Now, even if it’s not a lead role, it’s fine, so there are a lot of promising stars who want to appear on a broadcast starring BJ Grand Mage.
For that reason, proposals were sent from not only Tier 1 guilds, but also guilds beyond that.
“Even those are offers that are hard to refuse.”
10th Guild!
Three of them had already sent a joint raid proposal.
“If you pick one, it’s perfect to look bad for the rest.”
It was the reason why the choice was not easy, the reason why I was worried over and over again, and the reason why everyone laughed bitterly.
“But since we still have to choose, let’s start with an in-depth interview.”
“An in-depth interview? Where are you doing?”
“On the Gamma Pharmaceutical side.”
“yes? Isn’t it a guild?”
“Because there must be partners who have contacted advertisers as well. You should ask the advertiser’s doctor, shouldn’t you?”
And it was the reason why Park Young-joon is acting while lying to his heart.
‘The flower of gambling is Pungkaji.’

[NPC Choi’s guidance begins.]
[All party statuses are reset.]
NPC Choi, who started with that notification, started climbing the red mountain with Midas.
Such a move was special from the start.
[Walking the path of the elves.]
[Isolated from the surroundings.]
Immediately after that notification, the turmoil around the Red Mountain began to disappear.
The screams of Red Goblin, the shouts of players, and even the noise created by various skills.
I saw only a silent world and only one road.
“Is it a mystical experience?”
NPC Choi talked to Midas about that fact.
“Ah yes.”
Of course, it was not a mystical experience for Midas.
He had already experienced the way of the elves through the NPC Tamaru earlier.
There was no question.
The elf’s path is literally the path of the elves. It’s strange that NPC Choi, who is human, walks such a path.
‘As expected of a prince of the Tunga Kingdom, his ability is outstanding.’
However, for Midas, who knew the history of NPC Choi, there was no need to question deeply.
And there was no room for that.
‘There should be a best-case scenario… … .’
Currently, Midas has already declared a solo play to the Rising Star channel president.
‘I boasted so much to the boss, how heartbroken would he be if I said no?’
However, solo play may not be possible if the situation is not good.
‘It’s not okay, but it’s not okay.’
Of course, if it didn’t work out, it was worth it.
It is a calculation that even a child can make, that it is better to succeed than to fail, even if the scale is reduced or even if it takes more time.
‘But please.’
In any case, from Midas’ point of view, it was like a singer who was about to hold a guerrilla concert.
It’s even more strange if you have to perform a concert on a stage you’ve never seen with only shallow information, but it’s not complicated in your head.
“Let’s move quickly. It has to go up pretty high.”
NPC Choi, whether aware of Midas’ feelings or not, proceeded with the task quickly.
NPC Choi, who stopped after walking on the Elf Road for about 30 minutes, said on the spot.
“This is the entrance.”
The scenery seen with the horse was ordinary.
Like a red mountain, red trees and red fallen leaves are commonplace.
Ordinaryness that cannot be found where the word entrance fits.
Of course, it was visible in Midas’ eyes.
! [Sunken Temple]
The plain text in front of NPC Choi is written on it.
“I first discovered this place while tracing the Red Goblin chieftain’s whereabouts in reverse. After that, he guided Leitling to this place.”
In front of that letter, NPC Choi spat out words in a tone full of sobbing emotions, soaked in melancholy.
“As promised with him, I waited for three days and after that there was no news from him, so I went inside. And there I saw the mark he left behind.
What sign did you see?
Midas did not ask such a question.
‘It’s dangerous inside, so no one must have told me not to enter this place.’
because it was obvious
“It’s dangerous inside, don’t let anyone in here. Such a warning.”
As expected, the obvious answer came.
Naturally, Midas anticipated the question that would come next.
“My warning ends here. If you still intend to enter, I will bet you on the same condition. I’ll wait 3 days. If there is no news after that, I will seal this place forever. Will you still go in?”
Before answering that expected question, Midas asked himself the same question once more.
‘Can I catch Jung Hyeon-woo?’
To that question, Midas turned his head away.
Lucky, Gold and Jackpot.
Midas, who saw the three filling his surroundings, gave an answer without hesitation.
“yes.
6.
What appeared the moment you entered the narrow entrance was a cave.
A place where no light shines.
Fortunately, however, Midas didn’t have to worry about the light.
through!
Because my familiar took the lead and took the back.
‘As expected.’
A huge space appeared in front of Midas’ eyes as he passed through the cave following his familiar familiar.
A huge space that you wouldn’t expect to be under a mountain.
‘They’re glowing moss.’
Moss that emits light by itself, luminescent moss, was filling up all over the space.
Thanks to that, Midas could see.
A temple located on a vast land of about 10,000 pyeong.
Because it is a game and it is a virtual world, it was a splendid and magnificent sight that could be experienced.
Of course, Midas wasn’t very impressed by that fact.
‘It’s like Angkor Wat.’
I finished my appreciation with that short word.
More specifically, it was impossible for Midas to indulge in sentimentality no matter what the scene in front of him was.
The only thing that matters to Midas is whether this stage is advantageous to him or not.
‘not good.’
From that standard, it was not a stage favorable to Midas.
First of all, the fact that there were many collapsed and damaged temple buildings was a very negative factor for Midas.
‘Especially considering the characteristics of the Red Goblin chieftain.’
Also, the chief of the Red Goblin he was going to hunt was not the type to fight on his own like other boss monsters.
As the name suggests, the tribal chief was the type to use and command his subordinates.
Most of the skills according to the phase were also attacks such as buff healing or curses.
‘A coward who runs away at any time.’
Of course, he was a guy who always ran away when a group of people coming to catch him approached, and a stage with many corners where he could run away and hide like that was the best stage.
‘Ah, if I fight with several of them in a place like that, there’s no place to escape.’
Dealing with the majority was also not easy.
If you use cover or a narrow road, you can easily fight the battle itself, but it is very difficult to escape from being surrounded.
It was a difficult place to fight a hit-and-run battle.
‘huh?’
It was then.
thud!
From what appeared to be the entrance of the temple, beings with huge bodies appeared.
‘Golem?’
The identities of the two huge beings that appeared are none other than golems!
‘Why are they here?’
It was a monster I had never seen before when the Red Goblin chief appeared at the top of Red Mountain.
![Guardian of the temple]
After confirming the names of those guys, Midas was able to infer the background situation.
‘It’s the guardian golem that guards this sunken temple. And the circumstances suggest that the Red Goblin chief is using these golems as his subordinates. I can see why they use it as a hideout.’
Other than those two golems, there were no monsters in sight.
‘huh?’
And there was no time to see other monsters.
‘what? Why do I have so much HP?’
The HP of the temple’s guardians he could see was at a level far beyond common sense.
‘Aren’t there more than triple-headed trolls?’
Boss monster class!
It wasn’t just a boss monster, it was comparable to the biggest boss monster that Midas had caught.
And that wasn’t all.
‘Physical defense and magic defense… … .’
Other stats were also on the level of a boss monster.
‘…. If they counted their attack power, they would be able to catch the triple-headed troll?’
Fortunately, the attack power was not that high.
‘Why do you make crazy things like this?’
Of course, from the perspective of Midas, it was a sight that could not be said to be fortunate.
While Midas chewed his displeasure, a new monster appeared in front of him.
Kreure!
A goblin with a height of 180 cm and a slender physique, wearing a crown on top of its head that seemed to be made of bones.
[Red Goblin Tribal Chief]
!Use the Song of Obedience skill
!Activate the Song of Recovery skill when HP is below 70%
!Activate the Song of Madness skill when HP is below 20%
!Recognize the enemy and activate the Follower’s Song skill after 10 minutes
The moment you see it Midas’ eyes turned grim.
‘The phase has been added.’
There was one more skill in the existing phase.
‘If that skill is activated 10 minutes after recognizing the enemy… … It must mean that a bunch of Red Goblins are pouring into this place.’
follower’s song.
The moment he grasped the meaning of that skill, Midas knew how to attack this place.
‘I have to catch the Red Goblin tribal chief within 10 minutes.’
Within the given 10 minutes, break through the temple’s guardians and find the Red Goblin tribal chief on that complicated stage!
The moment he reached that fact, Midas covered his face with both hands.
“ah.
Then he sighed briefly.
A sigh as if something deep inside was being pulled out.
If it weren’t for the game, Lucky’s legs would give way and he would collapse, so Lucky approached Midas and carefully rubbed his head against his legs.
As if comforting the owner.
At Lucky’s consolation, Midas removed his hand covering his face and said.
“Yes, Lucky.”
Panting!
“Best case scenario.”
Panting?
A smile hung on Midas’ lips.
“The best has unfolded.”
7.
“I will.”
At the end of that conversation, Merlin, who was nearby, asked Emma a question as she took off her headphones with a microphone.
“Aren’t the conditions too generous?”
The person Emma talked to earlier was Park Young-joon, president of Rising Star Channel.
In that conversation, Emma said.
You don’t know what tricks BJ Grand Mage and Rising Star Channel will do if you delegate all the schedules with your partner, right?”
Whatever guild or player the BJ Grand Mage plays with, do as you please!
Schedule whatever you want!
“The purpose this time is to catch the BJ Archmage, right? Then we have to put some restrictions on this side.”
Considering the purpose of this quest, it wasn’t a very good method.
No one in the world likes to let their prey run wild.
To Merlin’s displeasure, Emma said.
“I said above. Knock him down until the BJ archmage lowers his head on his own.”
“Yeah, so we have to play the game over. To the point where he can’t even play the game.”
“Yes, then BJ Archmage will bow her head. But there is no guarantee that it is us.”
“Yeah…. .
At that moment, Merlin remembered something and immediately stopped talking.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth.
“…. Even those who want to join hands with BJ Grand Mage should be annihilated together.”
Emma didn’t question it.
It was as it was said.
Emma was planning to use this opportunity to make the BJ Grand Wizard organize a party of her choice.
And with that party, it was the intention to bring down the BJ Archmage.
If that’s the case, like Merlin said, no party in the future will be able to easily hold hands with the BJ Grand Mage.
“Moreover, considering the difficulty of the game in the future, it is impossible to play the game without a party.”
When that happens, the game progress is practically over.
God Wars was not a game that allowed people to live alone.
“It’s the perfect threat.”
Naturally, in front of that threat, the BJ great mage would give in and surrender.
“I was worried for nothing.”
When he had reached that point, Merlin stood up with a faint smile on his face.
“Now, sooner or later, I will be able to speak with the BJ Archmage.”
Merlin didn’t bother to answer Emma.
‘I will never meet the BJ Archmage. I have no intention of holding hands with him.’
Emma that she was planning not blackmail, but destruction.
A text message arrived right away on Emma’s smartphone, who was hiding her true feelings.
Upon seeing the message, Emma’s expression went cold, and Merlin, noticing the change, stopped going out of the room and said,
“what’s the matter?”
Emma answered the question.
“The Rising Star Channel asked for help.”
“help?”
“I want to do a raid with the Abyss Guild, but can you help me?”
