Chapter 159. < Episode 50. Love call (3). >
6.
“Whoa.
The moment the broadcast ended and the Rising Star channel came out, Midas let out a short breath.
After that, Midas approached Gold as it was and hugged Gold.
“Something crazy happened.”
Whoever listens, the impressions of the success of this raid.
“master!”
In response to Midas’ sentiment, Gold also said while hugging him violently.
“Yes, as the master said, we won a really ridiculous battle! A new page has been added to your legend!”
Gold’s voice was filled with emotion more than ever.
To the point of bursting into tears right now.
However, Midas did not respond to Gold’s emotion.
Swoop!
Instead of answering, Gold repeatedly touched the robe he was wearing and spoke softly.
“It’s mine now.”
Of course, the only thing that filled Midas’ mind right now was the fact that he didn’t have to return the elven robe.
There was no lingering aftertaste of winning the battle.
‘Let’s spend it well and sell it later to add to the charter price.’
I’m just grateful that the money came in.
Of course, Gold, who had no way of knowing that fact, repeatedly spoke to Midas.
“I will burn this body until it turns into ashes on the road for the Master’s glory!”
Panting!
As if he didn’t want to lose his owner’s affection to such a gold, Lucky quickly dug between the two.
“Yes, Lucky did a good job too.”
king!
Midas soon stopped hugging Gold and hugged Lucky once.
“You naughty dog! How dare you!”
While Gold gave a jealous gaze at that appearance, the flying jackpot soon landed on Midas’s head.
Unlike Lucky and Gold, however, Jackpot did not show aegyo.
coo-ooh!
It just screams loudly in one direction.
The cry flashed in Midas’s mind.
‘The quest isn’t over yet.’
Currently, Midas has not heard the quest completion notification.
After coming to his senses, Midas soon stopped hugging Lucky and began to act instead of sentimentality.
The first was to stand in front of the corpse of the Red Goblin chieftain.
“Item loot.”
[Item rooting begins.]
[Four items have been added to the inventory.]
After taking care of the hunter’s achievements, Midas turned his head.
Then a glowing pillar appeared.
couw!
As if he was looking at the jackpot at that pillar, he turned his head towards it and made another noise.
‘Hey there.’
There were no more worries.
“Prepare for an unexpected battle.”
After Midas once again prepared for battle, he approached the place where the pillar was.
Eventually, what Midas faced was a stairway to the basement that existed in the land full of fragments of collapsed buildings.
The stairs are hard to find unless you look closely.
‘what?’
Right in front of those steps was a stone slab.
A stone slab with a sentence carved in intaglio.
[Those who are not special should not enter this – Leitling -]
It was a warning left by Leitling.
‘I found something in here and went back.’
When Midas saw it, a picture was drawn in his mind.
‘Let’s take it for now.’
While drawing the picture, Midas picked up the slate and immediately put it into his inventory.
And immediately stepped onto the stairs.
I wasn’t ignoring the warnings.
‘There might be something.’
I just do it because it has to be done.
The stairs I started going down were quite deep.
In terms of the number of floors, it seemed that the third basement level had gone down, and at the end of the depth, a space appeared.
‘zeolite.’
And I was able to find a tombstone that completely occupied that space.
That was the moment.
[I feel an unknown power.]
‘Huh?’
With the sudden notification, the tombstone Midas was looking at suddenly turned into black powder and began to crumble.
Before long, the powdered things moved like living creatures in the direction of Midas.
‘ghost? Is it a sand-type monster?’
Seeing this, Midas was surprised and exclaimed.
“Everyone runs away…. .
With that warning, he threw his body forward and spread his arms widely to the left and right, claiming to be a shield.
‘I’ll stop it for now!’
A plan to endure the attack by sacrificing one’s own body!
‘come!’
The moment Midas stretched out his body, the black powder that approached him was absorbed into Midas’ chest.
[???’s egg absorbed the power of the nameless god.]
[Quest completed.]
[Achieved the title of discoverer of the sunken temple.]
Soon after, a notification sounded that everything was over.
“…. Hit it.”
Only then did Midas finish his words and turned his head to look at Gold and Lucky behind him.
The two of them looked at Midas with a grave expression.
Now I have adapted to the master’s foolish behavior!
Midas scratched his head, as if embarrassed by the expression on their faces as if they were saying that.
“Hahaha, it’s a joke, a joke.”
Midas, who had glossed over the situation, soon changed the subject of the conversation.
“Ah, since the quest is complete, shall we clean it up? ha ha ha!”
Seeing Midas like this, Lucky and Gold glanced at each other and reacted.
“I don’t know what it is, but the owner is amazing!”
king!
In any case, Midas’s expression crumpled at the response.
‘Damn embarrassing in front of the kids… … This fucking game is freaking people out!’
Such anger naturally turned to the place where the tombstone had been.
‘No, what is that kind of directing… … .’
It was then.
Midas, who looked at the place where the tombstone had disappeared, was able to see a new thing that had appeared.
it was a book
A palm-sized book made of stone slabs, not paper.
‘That one!’
Surprised Midas rushed over and picked up the book.
[Skill Card Book (Legendary Epic)]
The moment he saw it, there was no more shame in Midas’ mind.
Legendary Epic Skill Card Book.
Because there was only one thing Midas could do in front of an item of a grade that had never appeared in God Wars before.
‘oh my god.’
to admire.
While admiring it, Midas took a closer look.
– Upon opening, you can evolve one of your Legendary Skills into a Legendary Epic Skill.
– Unable to use over level 169.
Seeing this, Midas was even more surprised.
‘It’s not a new skill, it’s an existing Legendary skill upgrade!’
Even if the skill grade is high, there is a law that the efficiency is lower than that of a skill with a lower grade.
However, an upgrade is a different story.
‘Somehow it will be better than now.’
It must be much more effective than the existing Legendary skill.
‘Okay then let’s check.’
At that moment, without hesitation, Midas opened the slate Legendary Epic skill card book.
[Open the skill card book (Legendary Epic).]
Then, in front of Midas’ eyes, emerald-colored skill cards appeared equal to the number of Legendary skills Midas possessed.
‘Wow, that’s awesome.’
Midas inspected the card through the emerald light, so brilliant that one would be in awe.
One of them immediately stole Midas’s gaze.
[Dragon’s Eye (Epic)]
– Skill Rating: Legendary Epic
– Skill Effect: Identify the target’s critical weakness and inflict more damage and stronger status effects.
‘Addition of abnormal status effects? here now? If not only the damage increases for a moment, but the effect itself is different, the other skills… … .’
As Midas looked at the contents, he heard a voice beside him.
“Master, I will cheer you on!”
Gold’s words seemed to remind Midas of something, and he quickly turned his eyes to find a card.
[Guardian (Epic)]
– Skill Rating: Legendary Epic
– Skill Effect: Make the hunted monster your guardian.
And the moment he saw the description of the guardian skill he found, Midas’ mind flashed.
Didn’t the phrase “need a deep understanding of monsters” be deleted? That means… … .’
After that, Midas, who looked at the gold, hardened as it was.
‘Something absurd might come out of this.’
7.
“I’m glad you came back alive.”
NPC Choi greets Midas after finishing everything in the sunken temple.
He immediately asked a question.
“So, did you find traces of Reitling?”
Instead of answering, Midas handed over the slate from his inventory.
NPC Choi, who received it, studied the contents for a while, and then asked another question.
“There was no body?”
“Couldn’t find it.”
“Then it looks like he just left without saying anything to me. It’s so fucking damn good.
With those words, NPC Choi spoke quietly.
“Or there was a reason you couldn’t tell me.”
At that self-talk, Midas opened his eyes.
“What do you think?”
And to the question that followed, Midas answered without hesitation.
“Reitling has left a warning message wherever he thinks it might be dangerous. I don’t think someone with such consideration would have disappeared for no reason.”
To that answer, NPC Choi looked at Midas’s hand instead of answering.
Confirming that gaze, Midas felt it.
‘You’re looking at Zagara’s ring.’
Now NPC Choi will reveal his true identity.
‘Okay, let’s go up the scale once.’
And that he would hand over a very bold quest worthy of the name.
“I will not hide my identity from now on.”
As if living up to those expectations, NPC Choi took off her gloves and showed the ring on her hand.
“The 4th prince of the Tunga Kingdom, that is my identity.”
Midas responded to that fact.
“oh my god! Are you really a prince? It was an unexpected stagnation! wow! amazing!”
I pretended to be surprised.
‘There is no need to complicate the story while playing Detective Conan here.’
There is no need to leave the well-paved road and go on the unpaved road.
“I’m sorry for hiding your identity. But this also had its own circumstances.”
“no. Rather, would you mind revealing your true identity to me like this?”
“Because the situation is not good. Above all, it’s not polite to hide your identity from someone you have to ask for a favor.
It was then.
“Moreover, if you’ve accomplished this difficult task on your own, you should be treated accordingly.”
With those words, NPC Choi handed over to Midas what she was hiding in her arms.
[Skill Card Book (Legendary)]
The moment an additional reward is given.
Accepting it, Midas quickly put it into his inventory and said.
“So what should I do?”
“You have to keep doing what you are doing. To find Reitling. Trace the last trace.”
[The new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest list.]
Then, a new quest appeared right away.
[Traces of Reitling]
– Quest Rank: Main scenario
– Quest Level: Level 130 or higher
– Quest Details: Find traces of Reitling in the Sunken Temple!
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with the ‘Corrupted Tribe’
.
“Can I find a trace?”
“okay. Please.”
Along with that conversation, Midas openly waved the snake-headed staff in front of NPC Choi and said it again.
“You are asking, right?”
“Please.”
In reply, Midas frowned even more.
‘If you ask me, I’ll give you a reward! Your brother gave you this, this! I recognized it from the first time I saw it. Just looking at it, he was born with a golden spoon in his hand and was a lazy person who did nothing!’
Of course, there was no such thing as letting that feeling come out of my mouth.
Even if I got angry here, that was the only thing I would lose.
“Yes, I understand.”
That’s how Midas answered with all his strength and turned his back.
And he said softly.
“log out.”
8.
“Whoa!
Coming out of the capsule, Jung Hyun-woo let out a long sigh.
And looked around.
“Wow, this raid is really great! This time will probably change the evaluation of BJ Archmage greatly! It won’t be a joke.
As always, I saw Lee Hyuk-ju talking with the people gathered in the break room.
Seeing this, Midas laughed.
‘Now I’ve made my living there.’
It was a laugh at the fact that they were not receiving proper service.
‘Yeah, I think I’ve saved quite a bit of money now. There’s no reason to spend expensive money on a capsule room.’
In the midst of such laughter, Jeong Hyeon-woo started calculating seriously in his head.
‘I’m going to have to withdraw the money from my broker account soon.’
Currently, the amount of money Jung Hyun-woo has collected is enormous.
If it was him in the past, the amount was unimaginable!
However, such money was not currently dormant in a normal bank account in Korea under Jung Hyun-woo’s name.
Situation with an account linked to a virtual account for a broker that was previously created overseas through my brother.
Actually, there was nothing strange about it.
God Wars items were usually traded in dollars, but if you bought them with Korean money, the exchange rate effect as well as exchange transaction fees were not small.
‘I can’t bring all of them because of taxes… … .’
Crucially, the larger the money earned, the less tax was levied, and when the amount exceeded a certain level, the National Tax Service was marked as a person of interest.
‘I can get a private house with one more room if I bring it.’
Of course, as long as you bring only a small portion, you can fool your eyes. Moreover, Jung Hyeon-woo was not an idiot.
‘I have to go up step by step because there is a gaze around me.’
If he doesn’t hesitate to spend his current income, people around him will doubt him.
It was never a good thing.
‘To the extent that hyung doesn’t have any doubts, I’ve earned it because I’ve worked out a bit.’
Above all, there was a high possibility of raising his brother’s suspicions.
“Hyunwoo hyung!”
Lee Hyeok-ju, who belatedly found him, came to Jeong Hyeon-woo, who was worried about it.
“Are you out?”
“Hey, when a part-time job comes to you, you have to quickly receive it. Does it make sense to stay in the break room? That is dereliction of duty.”
“Ah brother! This time it wasn’t dereliction of duty, it was self-defense!”
“Justice defense?”
“BJ Grand Mage solo kills the leader of the Red Goblin tribe, how can you not see it? If you don’t see it, that’s dereliction of duty!
At that excuse, Jung Hyeon-woo snorted once and then quietly said,
“Was he that great?”
“It was no joke. This is great.”
“Well, in the end, it must be because of the money. Except for Shinsoo and Guardian, they’re corpses, right?”
“Tsk tsk hyung, admit it now. BJ Daemage is not a money-making player! He’s a real talent!”
“It’s okay.”
Holding back the laughter he was trying to get out of, Jeong Hyeon-woo went to the break room and sat down on one of the sofas.
“Hyeonu, did you come out?”
“You are always unlucky. If I had come out a little earlier, I would have been able to see the live performance.”
“It was no joke. The donations just poured in and it was really awesome.”
Then, the story about the live came right away.
‘Yeah, that was great. To the point where I’m exhausted.’
At the same time, fatigue set in.
great harvest.
However, there was also a lot of pressure and stress.
‘I barely did it. Because the mana is almost gone. Even though I ate the potion like that.’
Lee Hyuk-joo approached Jeong Hyeon-woo, who was breathing a sigh of relief in the midst of such fatigue.
“My brother’s phone.”
“thanks. Oh and one drink.”
“Blue Bull?”
“Yeah, of course…. .
Jung Hyun-woo, who remembered something at that time, quickly changed his words.
“Isn’t there a gamma constraint?”
“Of course it is. By the way, your brother was a fan of Blue Bull, wasn’t he?”
“I got tired of eating only Blue Bull. You have to take turns eating. Wouldn’t that make the two companies compete against each other?”
Jung Hyeon-woo, who was talking, smiled inwardly.
‘Yes, competition is good. If the two compete, my ransom will automatically rise. all right What do you do when you become a franchise in a one-man team? Most of the kids who have made the most money among sports stars are from the existing teams.’
Along with that thought, Jung Hyun-woo touched his smartphone and checked the email box that arrived.
‘huh? Rising Star Channel?’
Then, he saw an email sent from the Rising Star channel that had just arrived, and Jung Hyun-woo quickly checked the contents.
– Please tell me anything you need.
Jung Hyeon-woo, who checked the contents of the email, made a firm expression.
‘Are you saying they’ll get another item?’
The word “worry” was painted over that hard expression.
‘No, now you can easily get some money. If you only receive my items like this, you won’t have anything left, right?’
Concern about the fact that item rewards are not even a little bit of benefit for the Rising Star channel.
Of course, that worry didn’t last long.
‘But if you can save me something… … .’
You don’t have to refuse a favor, do you?
After thinking about the Red Goblin tribal chief raid this time, Jeong Hyeon-woo, who had been thinking about it, remembered what he lacked the most.
‘…. A magic recovery item or skill would be good.’
recovery of power.
When I remembered that, an item naturally came to mind.
‘The level difference between Wiltgar’s root wand is too big and at my current level, the wand of an unknown great mage would be perfect.’
Recalling that, Hyeonu Jung laughed.
‘There are only a handful of players who have it, including Azmo and Merlin, so I can’t believe they can get it. Not to mention, since I dismantled Legendary items the other day, it must have been more difficult to deal with the unknown Grand Mage series.’
Because it was an item that could not be obtained even if you wanted it.
‘Let’s just answer appropriately. He said it would be nice if it was a magic recovery type item or skill.’
That’s why Jeong Hyeon-woo sent a reply without much thought.
