– It’s finally out!
– BJ Grand Mage Live Broadcast Notice!
The world’s attention was focused the moment the date of BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast, which would finally put an end to the controversy, was revealed.
– It will finally come to an end.
Let’s see how well you do!
ㄴ Don’t fall for BJ Grand Mage.
Of course, stories about what BJ Grand Mage would show on live broadcasts bloomed everywhere.
Just the story that blooms like that is already dizzy.
However, in this case, there was another story that was very important besides that.
“The degree of attention to the live broadcast seems to be the highest among BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcasts so far, but of course there will be advertisements this time, right?”
“It will stick. If this doesn’t stick, it’s probably just saying you don’t want to be advertised.”
“Who is going to win the ad this time?”
Who will win the advertising rights for this broadcast, which has received the most attention in the history of BJ Grand Wizard live broadcasting?
“I heard that it has already been decided after contacting us.”
“It’s decided? So someone got it?”
“I wonder how much the advertising fee will be. We also sang quite a lot for the amount.”
As most of the big companies sent love calls to the Rising Star channel, interest in the lucky protagonist was bound to be even greater.
“Anyway, I envy whoever won the ad. The people in charge there must be in a festive mood.”
“I’m afraid of being called to the team leader after the broadcast is over.”
And the envy towards the lucky protagonist was also bound to be greater than ever.
Of course, the feelings of the parties in the eyes of the outside world were different from their expectations.
“It’s not enough to be forced to sell the main scenario information, so now even advertisements are being forced to sell.”
Merlin, who had an expression of absurdity, tapped the desk floor with the mug he was holding in his hand.
“Looks like they want to take this opportunity to nail down who is the top. I mean nail it.”
Hit the desk with the mug a few more times like that! After knocking, he looked at Emma and said.
“So how much did you ask for?”
To that question, Emma also frowned and said with a very unpleasant expression on her face.
“I’d rather have money.”
“Is it an item? what item?”
“They told me to prepare myself.”
Show your sincerity!
“You’ve gone where you want to go.”
Merlin gave up on the idea at the worst bill he could face in a position of being touted.
“Do you think it would be better to just declare war at this point? huh? I found the starting clue anyway, so why don’t you just kill the BJ Archmage? The key is to finish the quest before BJ Archmage, right?”
violent remarks.
However, Emma knew that Merlin didn’t mean it.
Because Merlin knew.
‘This confidence of BJ Archmage comes from the main scenario quest difficulty.’
The reason BJ Grand Mage can be so bold is that the main scenario quest is more difficult than they thought.
‘Still, I haven’t found anything after the town of the beginning.’
The Explorers Guild and the Abyss Guild were unable to proceed with the quest after graduating from the town of the beginning.
Attacking the BJ Grand Mage in such a situation?
Rather, it was the opposite.
“It wouldn’t hurt to use this opportunity to trade more.”
‘It might be better to narrow the gap by obtaining information somehow, even if it costs more.’
It would have been better to do more information trading than this.
No matter what, it was advantageous to keep some distance from the latecomers.
Merlin, who also knew that fact, threw a question with a wry smile.
“So what are you going to give me? Now, isn’t BJ Grand Mage’s item setting more amazing than mine at the same level?”
In fact, this was also a big challenge.
Everyone knows through several situations that cash is useless against BJ the Great Mage.
In the end, the only thing that could appeal to him was item or skill information, but now it was impossible to give it to him like Merlin said.
Because no one had better item or skill information than him.
Instead of answering that question, Emma herself posed a question.
“Do you think BJ Grand Mage can play solo in the land of pioneers?”
“No way.”
Merlin answered without hesitation.
“Even if you are a BJ master mage, it is impossible to deal with 300 pioneer hyenas alone. There will definitely be 3 or more players attached as helpers. Maybe it’s the helpers that are revealed in this live broadcast. ah.”
At that point, Merlin said with an expression that seemed to have noticed Emma’s intentions.
“If it’s an item that will help that helper, it will work.”
There is nothing to appeal to as an individual, but as a team, the story is different.
“So what are you going to give me?”
“It’s an item setting tailored to Rocketman’s entry into the land of pioneers.”
Rocket Man.
The moment the Abyss Guild’s boastful assault captain was mentioned, Merlin was taken aback for a moment.
“Rocketman’s setting… … You hit hard.”
Surprised, he immediately nodded.
“Well, it’s better to make a clear proposal than to make it vague and cause problems. So, are you going to make an offer now?”
“I’m going to do it right away.”
“The answer is…. The live broadcast will tell you. If you accept our offer, we will put our ad on your live broadcast.
Merlin, who sipped coffee from the mug with those words, turned his head and looked at the TV.
“Then, all that remains is to watch the live broadcast.”
2.
There weren’t many cases where the exact time was announced during live broadcasts.
It was because there were many variables in the live broadcast, and it was because there was a lot of room for those variables to intervene when the announcement was made in advance.
It was the same with BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast this time.
“Is it today? what time is it?”
“The time has not been set yet. They say that the moment the hunt starts, they show it live.”
Only the date of the live broadcast was notified, but the exact time and minute of the broadcast was not decided.
“But are you really catching 100 fish?”
“I don’t know. Because the title hasn’t been revealed.”
“Isn’t this a strange broadcast?”
“Ayy, I still have this public opinion, but I won’t do anything else.”
“Aren’t you scared and run away?”
The topic of the broadcast was also undecided.
In fact, usually in this case, most viewers did not pay attention.
Because there were too many superstars on Warstube to rely on such an unkind live broadcast.
Nevertheless, the reason why even the customers who visited the small capsule room waited for the broadcast without a promise in the lounge was simple.
“If you wait, everything will come out. When did BJ Grand Mage ever do a strange broadcast? I’m sure if you wait, I’ll show you something really awesome.”
BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast this time was worth it.
“And what do you think of the BJ master mage for being scared and jumping around? Maybe by now, I’ll be wearing a glass of wine in my spare time before the broadcast.”
“but.
“I’m not the kind of person who would get nervous or run away in fear of the sudden surroundings.”
Above all, considering the steps and composure that BJ Archmage had shown so far, he wouldn’t even care about that.
‘shit.’
Of course, Jung Hyeon-woo, the person in charge of all these moments, was feeling a lot of nervousness at this moment.
‘I have to go on air soon… … .’
The reason is that there is no live broadcast.
It wasn’t that they weren’t ready for the live broadcast.
Rather, the preparation is more perfect than ever.
‘Is the answer yet?’
The reason we couldn’t broadcast was because of the request of the Rising Star Channel.
A demand to do a live broadcast after receiving an advertising fee from the advertiser.
It was an unusual request.
Isn’t it possible to just suddenly broadcast without receiving money?
‘It’s not good if it’s too long…’
However, the longer the waiting time for the live performance, the bigger the disappointment felt by the viewers.
At the same time, expectations were growing.
I made you wait this long, so I’ll show you something great! A sense of anticipation.
As a broadcaster, the pressure was growing.
‘You can’t lose viewers… … .’
A passage where you can’t help but feel nervous in many ways. In that situation, Jung Hyun-woo’s smartphone, which was holding it like a talisman, ding! Hyeonu
Jung immediately checked his smartphone.
[I received an advertisement fee. The reward received is as follows.]
And soon after checking the summary, Jung Hyeon-woo stood up without reading the details.
“Hyukjoo, do some setting.”

[Midas]
– Level: 170
– Constellation: Word Dragon
– Occupation: Great Mage
– Ability: Strength (5+1255)/Stamina (5+1291)/Intellect (756+2095)/Magic Power (175+1833)
– Remaining Stats: 0
A stat that shocks you beyond admiration whenever you see it.
‘This is a monster.’
Midas, who was looking at his stats like that, turned his head and looked at his surroundings.
Panting!
couw!
“Master, everything is ready.”
Lucky and Gold Jackpot.
After confirming their perfect combat readiness, Midas’ gaze turned to a sword in Gold’s hand.
Patu’s dagger.
There was nothing special about it except for the black jewel attached to the hilt. The moment Midas checked it, he closed his eyes.
“Whoa.
Eventually, Midas let out a long breath.
It wasn’t a breath that came out of tension or fear.
‘This is for sure.’
The breath exhaled by an athlete who has everything and is confident of victory before the final sprint.
It was a breath I exhaled to clear myself up ahead of the actual battle, surpassing my resolution.
“Whoa.”
Midas exhaled, opened his closed eyes, raised his head, and looked at the huge wooden pillar above his head.
Between the red pillars, an information window that only Midas could see was visible.
![Above the stage tree]
!Number of Ringed Monkeys: 152
!Number of Chief Ringed Monkeys: 1
The total number of ringed monkeys on top is 153!
It was a far-off number, but Midas did not waver in front of that number.
“let’s go.
After a short command, Midas started climbing up the wooden pole.
fast.
In no time at all, Midas, who had climbed up on the stage tree, immediately heard a notification in his ears.
[It has climbed onto the stage tree.]
With that notification, 153 ringed monkeys appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
– The room is open!
– It’s a live start!
At the same time, the clearest evidence of the start of the live broadcast appeared in the chat window.
The same scenery as usual.
“Hello, this is BJ Grand Mage! Memorized Ice Wall!”
However, the live broadcast that took place was different from usual.
– what? Icewall right?
– The battle starts from the beginning?
– Isn’t this a bit too much for Lucky and Gold to go without a cute act time?
As soon as Midas took out the ice wall, chatting from viewers who roughly grasped the situation popped out like a shower.
Quaang!
Quaang!
And the throws from the ringed monkeys rained down on the ice wall like a shower.
In the midst of that scene, Midas did not explain at length.
“Now, since we’re going to battle right away, I’ll keep the explanation simple and go right into battle.”
No lengthy explanation was necessary.
“I currently have about 150 ringed monkeys in front of me.”
150 or so!
Because that word was strong enough to instantly burn away all the dissatisfaction that was filling up in the chat window.
– About 150 crazy? Not 100?
– BJ Grand Mage’s scale is this much!
– Loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty to BJ Grand Mage!
– Bastards who don’t believe in BJ Grand Mage, hurry up and write 3 self-reflection statements in the chat window. Don’t forget the donation.
Not the 100 everyone thought, but 150!
It’s strange if you don’t admire the scale you couldn’t even imagine.
“Of course, it is impossible to hunt 150 animals with the existing combat method, so this time we specially recruited new companions.”
– huh?
– I beg your pardon?
At that time, the words Midas uttered immediately changed the atmosphere of the chat window like flipping a palm.
– A new colleague? Wait, BJ Grand Mage, what are you talking about all of a sudden?
– Hahaha What are you talking about?
– Yes, the bottom line was revealed!
– Anyway, how do you catch 150 as a solo?
– Yes, the solo play is over!
– Is your new colleague pretty?
The expectations of the fans who had believed in BJ Archmage’s solo play collapsed, and on the contrary, the shoulders of those who cried that it was impossible began to rise high into the sky.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the chat window became a mess.
– As expected, BJ Grand Mage also has limitations. Well, now I have to play a party.
b isn’t it? Our BJ Grand Mage is single until he dies, right?
ㄴ Yes, you will be single until you die in real life!
b Don’t be ridiculous! From the time BJ Grand Mage was born to the time he died, he was solo. Stop talking nonsense! There is a high possibility that BJ Grand Mage will be single for at least 10 years after he is born, but he cannot be single for the rest of his life!
ㄴ What is it? Are there only BJ master mages here?
In the midst of that mayhem, Midas spoke.
“Then, I’ll show you a new colleague before the Ice Wall breaks.”
As soon as Midas moved his finger along with the words, the Rising Star channel turned the camera.
And soon, I took a picture of gold that was fully prepared.
– uh?
– How is Gold?
Gold, who has entered miniaturization mode.
– Oh my God, look at that!
– Gold has become overwhelmingly cute!
While everyone was surprised by such a sight, Midas shouted.
“This is our party’s new colleague, Mini Gold.”
[The ice wall has been destroyed.]
Finally, Midas heard a notification that the ice wall was about to break.
– omg!
– Right through!
Viewers were stunned by the destructive power of the throwing produced by 150 or so ringed monkeys.
But Midas was different.
“End of explanation.”
Rather, Midas, more relaxed than ever, shouted.
“Then the battle begins.”
