Chapter 199. < Episode 64. Sincerity (1). >
1.
BJ Grand Mage’s Maze Dungeon Strategy Immediately after the live broadcast, the hottest spot was the Mist Forest.
Until now, the Forest of Fog was a place where only a handful of crazy idiots set foot.
“Here, BJ Archmage got something!”
“Obviously! There is a treasure here!”
However, immediately after BJ Grand Mage’s broadcast, the forest of fog became a land of opportunity that no one had reached.
Naturally, many people’s attention was focused, and that interest moved the players of Warstube who were wandering in search of stimulating material.
“Today we will explore the forest of fog!”
“I will die on the road of no return!”
Some of the players headed towards the foggy forest, as if trying to grab a piece before BJ’s heat dissipated.
“Hey, I heard the idiots are going to the Forest of Fog?”
“You’re going to the dungeon? Then let’s go see it!”
And the players who didn’t want to miss such an interesting spectacle also flocked to the beginning of the forest of fog.
Of course, there were not many normal people among the spectators gathered there.
In common sense, healthy players who enjoy the game for its own sake will not dare to climb up the entrance of the lofty spirit cave to see someone’s ruin in real time.
Most of the spectators gathered were of the sort eager to see the ruin, downfall, or failure of others.
“Here is someone!”
“hey! Once you get in, you have to do it until you die! Just close the broadcasting channel!”
“Go in one more time!”
“I don’t like the viewers who watch that broadcast. Not even a penny of donations is worth it to such a coward!”
Because of this, the onlookers did not spare criticism and criticism towards those who returned from the foggy forest in a superficial way from the beginning.
Everyone at some point enjoyed it.
The same was true of the player wearing the armor now.
“uh?”
The moment I confirmed the appearance of something vaguely through the forest full of fog, I shouted with all my might as if I was not going to take the prey away from anyone else.
“Here comes a clumsy bastard!”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the player’s cry, and the player who shouted shouted again with a proud expression.
Just close the channel! What kind of a show is this stupid bastard! Just drop the game!”
Before long, other forms began to appear behind the player who was being criticized through the fog.
‘omg!’
The moment that was confirmed, the atmosphere cooled.
“Looks like Shinsoo and Guardian?”
“BJ Grand Mage?”
The identity of the person who appeared is none other than BJ Grand Mage.
As always, his expression was not very good when he appeared with Lucky, Gold and Jackpot.
It couldn’t have been better.
‘I spent 3 hours just getting the damn frost flowers.’
Due to a sudden quest assignment, he wasted three hours in the forest of fog.
‘I’m glad I got one, if I didn’t have one… … .’
Even that was a lucky case.
If I hadn’t saved them in advance, I would have had to search endlessly to find the two.
What was even more troubling was that the frost flowers that I had purchased in advance had an expiration date.
If it took more than two days to find it, I would have had to go through the trouble of saving it again.
‘It’s a real fucking quest.’
Because of the soaring irritation, I couldn’t even listen to the surrounding situation properly.
In other words, Midas did not know.
‘huh?’
He wasn’t even aware that someone had said something to him.
‘what? What are you doing here?’
Of course, he didn’t know why there were 10 players gathered in front of the forest of fog.
Then Midas stopped walking and prepared for battle.
‘You’re trying to catch me?’
Now, there is nothing strange about being PKed at any time.
‘hmm.’
However, Midas, who confirmed the faces of those gathered, ruled out the case that they were assailants.
‘Item settings and abilities are too ordinary? All guilds are new to me.’
It’s not impressive to see that he came with a party to catch himself.
At that point, Midas changed his mind.
‘Are they my fans?’
Possibly they are their fans.
Under the circumstances, there was a good chance of that happening.
At that moment, Midas was thrilled.
‘You saw me enter the misty forest and waited for me to come out? I don’t know when he’ll come?’
Wasting your time waiting to see you?
‘The capsule defense must be expensive too.’
Aren’t most of them, let alone personal capsules, paying for capsule rooms by robbing their wallets?
Even so, he waited impatiently.
Midas smiled at that fact.
And with that smile, the players were serious.
‘Fucked.’
‘They’re trying to kill us.’
To them, that smile seemed like a sign that BJ Grand Mage had finished cooking them.
Then Midas moved first.
The movement was very swift.
so much that it cannot be avoided.
To the extent that there is no time to react.
He approached one of the players at once and put his arm on his shoulder.
Like a bully from the neighborhood who approaches you for extortion when you were young.
“Let’s take a picture.”
Then, Midas, who took a selfie looking up at the sky without saying a word, went straight to the next group.
“Look closely and take a picture. Solve your impressions. Anyone who sees it will know that I am threatening you.”
Each of them kindly took a selfie first.
He said after taking a selfie with everyone who had gathered at once.
“Did everyone do well? Nice to meet you. Let’s meet again next time we have a chance!”
He greeted his fans more politely than ever before.
Of course, this was heard in the ears of the players.
‘Because we took pictures of our faces.’
‘I’m digging up personal information.’
‘I’m going to kill you.’
It was the moment when a new legend of Midas was written.
2.
“Come. Is your face bright today?”
Unlike the last time, this time Midas appeared with a good expression mixed with a smile. NPC Alvia briefly asked a question and Midas gave a short answer.
“Because something good happened.”
‘The fans are interested.’
What made Midas smile was none other than the word cheer.
‘Yes, no matter what the situation is, now I have to work hard even for those who support me.’
That you have to show the best stage even for those who are trying to see themselves just once.
‘Come with anything. If the item is bad, I can buy a good one at my own expense.’
With that determination in mind, Midas took out a frost flower from his inventory and handed it to NPC Arvia.
“Good rescue. I like your ability.”
Then, NPC Albia left a compliment mixed with words and received a frost flower.
“You should even give me the cane.”
Afterwards, the NPC Albia, who even accepted the staff again, started working on the spot.
After collecting the essence from the frost flower using a tool, he sprinkled the essence of the frost flower on the spirit king’s fragment he had received earlier.
in turn.
As soon as the essence was sprinkled on the spirit king’s fragment, the cave suddenly began to fill with a huge amount of steam.
Uncontrollably enormous!
Just as the forest of fog is created!
It became a world where I couldn’t see anything to the extent that I couldn’t even distinguish my hand in front of my eyes.
‘oh my god.’
But Midas could see.
completed at this moment.
[Stand of Arvia]

– Bound when acquired (untradable)
Arbia’s cane!
The new wand was so huge that it was difficult to even read all the options.
‘Crazy.’
Each option was of a different level.
Right now, its attack power and stats were two steps higher than the level 160 Legendary item.
Above all, the newly added options were huge.
‘The fact that the spirit king’s power changes its turn… … Are the two modes activated alternately?’
The two effects didn’t apply simultaneously, but that fact honestly didn’t matter too much.
‘Attack power increases in scorching mode, and magic recovery speed increases in severe cold mode.’
Whatever it was, both modes were very helpful for Midas.
“Good night.”
The NPC Alvia, holding the staff of Arvia, broke through the fog and appeared in front of Midas.
here.
Then, he handed it over to Midas on the spot.
Midas accepted it.
‘ah.’
I couldn’t believe it even though it came in my hands.
[Acquired Arbia’s staff.]
[Achieved the title of Arvia’s staff owner]
After hearing the notification that followed, Midas was able to realize that this weapon had become his.
‘It’s mine.’
And the moment he realized it, Midas’s mind soared with greater confidence than ever before.
‘With this, I can chew on the hunting grounds!’
Confidence that you can do anything.
In front of that confidence, Midas made up his mind.
‘Boss, this time I’ve been diving for ten days and there’s nothing like that. I’ll show you the hottest live broadcast right away!’
I’m determined to repay everyone with amazing broadcasts using Arbia’s staff as a foundation!
‘I’ll make sure to win as many good advertisements as I want!’
Seeing that, the NPC Arvia smiled with satisfaction and said.
“I’m glad you like it. Then you must do my next favor.”
[A new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest list.]
And a notification was heard.
At the same time, Midas had a premonition.
“yes?”
A feeling of something bad.
3.
A forest of buildings filled with buildings The scenery of the small park in between was very secluded.
In that secluded landscape, a man took out a thin tablet PC and put on earphones.
A landscape that is nothing special.
– Nice to meet you, Mr. Park Young-joon.
However, the person who appeared on the tablet PC made the scene the most special scene in the world.
“Yes, Mr. Khalid bin Muhammad, it is an honor to meet you.”
Khalid bin Muhammad.
– You can just call it Azmo. Now people around me call me Azmo rather than that name.
The man who made Azmo the most famous word in the world.
“First of all, I would like to thank you for your understanding in the previous request.”
– It was worth it. Because the live broadcast was more than expected.
More than expected, not more than expected.
The moment he saw that expression, Park Young-joon felt it.
What will Azmo say?
– I won’t say it again. Main Scenario Quest I want information about him.
In response to the expected answer, Park Young-joon said.
“I will pass that opinion on to BJ Grand Mage.”
It’s not my business, so I won’t talk about it here.
Of course, Azmo couldn’t just accept it lightly.
– Then that’s not the case, Mr. Park Young-joon should share an answerable story. I would like to buy shares in Rising Star Channel.
Azmo made a suggestion that Park Young-joon had no choice but to answer.
– As for the amount of shares, we will add a 200% premium to the average expected value.
I’ll pay you three times the average price the experts put out!
amazing offer.
However, Park Young-joon was not surprised.
‘As expected.’
It was already expected that he would make such an offer, and that he would offer such an amount.
Of course, I prepared an answer for him.
“From my point of view, it’s an offer I’m grateful for that I can’t refuse, but it’s questionable whether BJ Grand Mage will keep the exclusive contract with us when that happens.”
Once again, he turned his arrow towards the BJ archmage.
It wasn’t because it was annoying.
‘There shouldn’t be any dildos here.’
In fact, there was an overwhelming weight class difference between the two who are currently having this meeting.
Azmo He is a famous gamer and a billionaire, and at the same time, the core of the world economy with the power to move even the enormous capital of Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned company.
On the other hand, Park Young-joon was nothing more than a rising star after meeting the BJ master mage.
No matter how rich you gamble, if your stake is small, there is a limit to the amount of money you can win.
‘A big deal is something I do when my stake is high.’
In other words, it was important for Park Young-joon to buy time until his weight class got bigger.
– He is also the best gambler Wharton has ever produced.
Realizing his intention, Park Yeong-joon smiled at Azmo’s words.
“If I had been that good at gambling, I would be in Las Vegas, not San Francisco.
– In Las Vegas, the bet amount is not high, but is it fun? From there, you can earn the money you have accumulated through professional poker for the rest of your life overnight from where you are now.
At Azmo’s words, Park Young-joon’s smile deepened.
And waited.
‘A proposal will come soon.’
That Azmo will work to leave a definite result for a small deal for a big deal.
– So let’s start with what we can talk about. I had a meeting, but I have to have income so that I don’t get scolded by the secretary. Can we talk about the next live broadcast? What do you want to pay for advertising?
The moment the long-awaited question came up, Park Young-joon said on the spot.
“For the time being, we will not be signing any sponsorship contracts, including advertising.”
– No?
For the first time, Azmo over the video call made a surprised expression, and Park Young-joon spoke more clearly to that expression.
“yes. We decided that there was no need to accept the request in the current situation that affects the progress of the main scenario quest because we were carrying out the request.”
There are no contracts for the time being.
It was a warning.
‘I have to show that this plate can be folded at any time.’
A warning to those who realize the importance of this board made by the great mage BJ and intervene somehow.
‘So don’t joke around.’
Realize the importance of this plate.
‘The next time the game opens, I’ll bring a little more stake.’
And don’t think about your wallet as much as it’s precious, and be sure to do it when you can!
Azmo, who was immediately embarrassed by the fact, changed his expression calmly.
‘Looks like he’s thinking about other ways.’
Park Young-jun, who knew the meaning of the change in expression, put an end to Azmo.
“And honestly, isn’t BJ Grand Mage doing a live broadcast because he doesn’t have money? In the first place, it was an unusual case to accept a request for a small amount of money, which is less than a million dollars at most in terms of legendary item dollars. Considering the wealth of BJ Grand Mage, it was a level of self-sacrifice beyond volunteering.”
An irrefutable period.
“Then, I will end the meeting with this. It was nice to meet Mr. Azmo. I don’t know anyone else, but I’ll always get in touch with Mr. Azmo.”
That’s how the first meeting ended.
