Chapter 168. < Episode 53. Bus driver (3). >
8.
There were many services in God Wars.
Starting from a service that helps you hunt, to a service that helps you progress in quests or move to hunting grounds.
The frozen forest was the same.
For those who have never had a proper party in Red Mountain, or who do not belong to a party or guild, or who have difficulty joining a party because their skills are below average, there is a service that helps them move to the Black City.
Right now, the Explorers Guild was providing that service.
Most of these services were conducted quietly and on a small scale.
“It’s not something to brag about riding or picking up a bus, is it?”
It’s not a good look in many ways.
That’s why the appearance of BJ Grand Mage had no choice but to draw everyone’s attention.
“BJ Grand Mage came with 200 people!”
“Wow, the bus scale is no joke.”
“What bus is that? It’s a train.”
“Is it the Lucky Express?”
There had never been a case in which 200 players were brought safely and unharmed in a bus and with such a fuss.
Of course, it couldn’t be called a bus.
“So you just followed behind?”
“BJ Grand Mage made the way, but there’s no reason to refuse, right? Even the snow had melted and the road was clear. And if it’s not like this, when will you go with BJ Tsushima Love?”
It was just that the players chased after BJ the great mage.
In other words, it was an arbitrary action by the players.
“Thank you for the bus, BJ Great Mage!”
“The fast and safe BJ Great Mage Bus is awesome!”
That’s why the players proudly boasted that they rode the BJ Grand Mage’s bus.
Naturally, the story of him made the black city lively.
In fact, some thought.
‘Doesn’t this sound like an accidental happening?’
It sounds like you’re up to something.
It was BJ Archmage’s answer that turned those doubts into certainty.
The moment he entered the black city, he told those who followed him.
“The price of the ticket is Rising Star channel subscription like comments. Be sure to pay. If you don’t, Lucky will scold you. Are you lucky?”
king!
It’s good that you use BJ Grand Mage.
That’s why everyone who saw it had no choice but to think the same thing.
‘Are you sure! This whole situation was intended by the BJ Archmage.’
‘I showed it on purpose.’
All of this was planned by BJ the Great Mage.
‘That he has much more influence and recognition.’
‘Against the Undead Guild, not anyone else.’
The Undead Guild said that they attacked first to subdue the steam ahead of collaboration with them.
That is, the fight started.
Of course, Midas had no such intention.
“huh? Lucky what? You want me to pay for the bus? Everyone, Lucky is asking you to pay the bus fare? Haha, of course I’m kidding.”
‘At this point, I think someone will give me a penny… … Won’t you give me Oh, I never thought I would drive a free bus like this.’
I just couldn’t resist people following me.
To be more honest, Midas didn’t like the current situation.
‘I thought I wanted to level up a bit on the way home.’
Originally, Midas’ purpose was to do some level-up hunting on the way to the Black City.
‘Because there’s nothing good about coming here early.’
One reason is that you have to deal with them the moment you arrive at the Black City.
They appeared in front of such Midas.
“Hello BJ Grand Mage, this is the Undead Guild.”
Out of a group of 20 men armed with armor, Midas approached and held out his hand.
Midas, who held her hand, spoke immediately.
“Nice to meet you, Remia-sama.”
Remia.
A player who is considered the best among prospects under level 200 belonging to the Undead Guild.
487th in the small park rankings.
These alone are enough factors to make them famous.
“You see right away.”
“There’s no way I wouldn’t know. Aren’t you very famous?”
But her fame went beyond the aforementioned factors.
‘Because there aren’t many cases where you bite into a golden spoon, have talent, and follow luck.’
The family was rich.
It’s not a ridiculous level like Azmo, but it’s a level where I don’t have to worry about playing and eating for the rest of my life.
“Because there aren’t many players who have Shinsoo.”
In addition, she was also the owner of the divine beast Benu.
“I can’t compare to BJ Grand Mage. Rather, it is not polite to talk like this.”
Most of all, it was her looks that made her famous.
“You have to show your face properly.”
Her appearance, which was revealed after taking off her helmet, had all the elements of an Arab beauty.
White skin with a light copper tint, big eyes, dark eyes, and a tall nose.
It’s not enough to be famous for your good looks.
“Hello again. My name is Remia.”
In that state, Midas held out her hand once again toward her who reached out again.
In that state, Remia gazed intently at Midas.
‘It’s not a normal bet either.’
Like a beast watching its prey.
It was not a vague metaphor.
‘Well, that’s why it must have come from the Abyss Guild.’
Currently, Remia was in the state of receiving an offer from the Abyss Guild.
The Abyss Guild offered to give special treatment if BJ Archmage failed in the unknown mage dungeon attack.
It was not a sudden offer.
‘I’m glad I’ve been in constant contact with the Abyss Guild. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.’
In the first place, she was planning to transfer to the Abyss Guild using the Undead Guild as a stepping stone.
It wasn’t just her.
Even if it was the same 10th guild, the difficulty of rising from the bottom in the Abyss Guild was very high.
Of course, the best scenario is to go up from the bottom if you have skills.
However, those who did not have that skill had no choice but to choose the lane of transfer to the Abyss Guild after gaining recognition and fame in other guilds.
In any case, there was no reason for Remia to weigh the scales when such an opportunity came.
‘Anyway, the moment BJ Grand Mage attacks that dungeon, my career ends.’
And even if it wasn’t for that proposal, it wasn’t a very good thing for Remia to have BJ Grand Mage attack the dungeon right away.
If that happens, the public’s evaluation of Remia, who has failed to clear the dungeon twice, will naturally go down.
“Rather than that, we are now a team. I wish you well in the future.”
‘I have to take the initiative.’
In order to do that, in many ways, he would have to increase his right to speak in this dungeon raid.
‘I can never lose a fight.’
Of course, she had no intention of backing down from this ki fight that BJ Grand Mage was leading.
Of course, Midas couldn’t know what she was thinking.
I didn’t even need to know.
“Yes, I don’t know how it will turn out, but please take good care of me.”
‘Companion attack is absolutely not allowed.’
Rather than entering the dungeon with this and that risk, it is better for Midas to take the risk alone.
In the first place, Midas had an intention not to attack the dungeon like the Undead Guild.
“We have to clear dungeons together in the future, so why don’t we try to work together before that?”
That’s why Midas firmly responded to Remia’s proposal.
“Oh no need.”
He shouted confidently as he spoke.
“Isn’t it something you can’t make customers uncomfortable about driving a bus for money?”
At those words, the people in the audience nodded in surprise.
‘As expected, he is a BJ master mage. He’s full of confidence.’
‘I’m going to take the lead!’
Who in the world can think of the Undead Guild as a target to help and take action?
It was the same with Remia.
‘I did it. Well, that’s why he’s already been directing like that since he came here.’
I realized that fighting against BJ’s great mage would not be easy.
Of course, Immia, who had expected a fight with Ki, brought out what she had anticipated and prepared.
“Then it would be good to get used to the frozen forest first. If you want, I can set the stage for you.”
“A hunting ground?”
“yes. So that I can hunt alone in the Explorers Guild’s VVIP hunting grounds.”
Everyone brought out a surprise.
“A VVIP? Not a VIP?”
“Yes VVIP.”
Explorer Guild’s VVIP service!
It was a service that allowed them to focus only on hunting within the explorer line.
In addition, this service was not a service that could be bought with money.
‘Isn’t it the best dog honey service you can’t get even if you have money?’
Money and services that only those who deserve it can get.
Of course, from Midas’ point of view, it was a piece of cake.
“I do not need it. If we were going to play games so comfortably, we wouldn’t have started in the first place.”
‘Damn, I have to give up this honey… … .’
A situation where you shouldn’t be in debt no matter what.
Because of this, Midas gave the reason to refuse more clearly.
“If I had intended to receive something like that, I would have received it a long time ago. How much do you do that?”
‘I don’t know. let’s just scream Why can’t I eat rice cakes that I can’t eat anyway?
After saying that once, the next words came out naturally without any hesitation.
“And hunting in a place full of monsters where no one goes is faster than hunting in the explorer line. The more monsters there are, the better. Are you lucky?”
king!
“Master, I am too!”
Midas’ words surprised the audience once again.
How many players will walk the difficult but more valuable path instead of the easy path?
‘Honestly, with the financial power of a BJ great mage, receiving the VVIP service wouldn’t have been a problem. But you never got one, did you?’
‘BJ Grand Mage wasn’t just a lucky player with a lot of money.’
The moment when the evaluation of the BJ Great Mage rises significantly once again.
Meanwhile, after hearing the story, Remia’s planting was not very good.
Interpretation from the listener’s point of view is bound to change at any time.
‘Is this because we are plants grown in a greenhouse?’
Within the fence of a 10-year-old guild, big kids like flowers and yourself are out of class!
Remia interpreted the words of BJ Archmage like that.
‘It’s not about fighting spirit, it seems like they just want to subjugate us with their limbs.’
Midas, who had no way of knowing that fact, finished the conversation.
“Then I will go hunting. Oh, don’t worry about me, move as you like. You don’t have to follow my steps. I’m moving with a blank check, but I can’t make my clients nervous.”
At those words, Remia thought.
‘I’m sure I’ll end the overpowering with a skill exercise.’
That Midas would show his skills properly.
Remia’s answer to such a fact was fixed.
“No, BJ Grand Mage is right. I’m not here to play casually. And before we match, we have to show each other our skills to build trust.”
With those words, Remia looked at her colleagues and said.
“Let’s show our skills.”

In God Wars, as the level increases, the number of party members participating in the hunt also increases.
“Go in! Tankers, go in and hold the line!”
“Hey, what’s going in! get out of the back! I couldn’t get a dealing position right now, so what do you do when you become a tank?”
“Tanks have to go in and hold on to take a dealing position!”
“Unify your opinions!”
Naturally, conversations increased as the number of people increased, and confusion increased accordingly.
It was unavoidable.
It was more important to communicate even if I felt confused than to fall into a crisis because I didn’t talk.
Of course, the better the teamwork, the fewer the number of conversations and the more coordinated movements were possible.
When it comes to professional players, everyone would trust and move on the leader’s command.
By that standard, the Undead Guild had a very unique feature.
They talk extremely little during combat.
“attack!”
With that one word, all the dealers rushed towards the enemy together with the healer.
No other conversation was necessary.
Dealers use their skills to crush monsters, and healers only need to support such dealers.
Remia’s party slaughtered the snow monsters in a very simple way.
There was no retreat.
Until the monster was out of sight, they were just crushing and advancing and crushing.
“The Undead Guild’s fighting style is amazing every time I see it.”
“Fight like kids who don’t know real death.”
immortality!
It made me feel the meaning of the word.
Same with Midas.
Seeing the Undead Guild fighting from afar, Midas let out a short sigh.
‘Ah, if I’m with them, I’ll be able to play the game really easily… … .’
A sigh at the fact that I had to turn myself away from the opportunity to cling to and suck honey from such great players.
‘If it’s a dungeon where even those guys fail… … The difficulty won’t be a joke this time either.’
And a sigh about the fact that they had to tackle the dungeon alone, which made them ask for help after failing to clear it.
At the end of that sigh, Midas turned his head and looked at his battlefield.
Fire!
I watched the fierce battle taking place in the heat created by the two blaze golems.
Looking at it, he once again specified what he had to do.
‘Right now the priority is to upgrade the spec.’
That he had to raise his level as quickly as possible by saving even time to take a sigh.
A notification sounded in Midas’ ears.
[Your level has risen.]
[You have reached level 140.]
[The dragon only for war gives you a new chance. Do you want to use the opportunity?]
At the notification he had been waiting for, Midas looked at the situation.
‘I almost got it.’
As for the remaining two snow monsters, Midas opened his mouth after confirming them.
“yes.
Immediately after that answer, 100 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
‘Please don’t come out with anything good this time… … I have to run again.’
I prayed earnestly in front of that card.
‘So please give me one good thing. Just give it to me and I will bow to God Wars headquarters every morning. Please give me one…’
Midas’ prayer didn’t last long.
[Dragon vein]
– Skill level: Legendary
– Skill effect: You can use the dragon vein. The speed of magic and physical strength recovery greatly increases on top of the dragon vein. The location of the dragon vein changes frequently and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
In front of the golden card, Midas had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
