A very cold voice With the notification from that voice, the sand hyenas clinging to Midas collapsed powerlessly and returned to the sand.
“Two!”
Midas rose from under the pile of sand with the sound of sand spitting in his mouth.
The sight of Midas, with the sand covering his body constantly spilling onto the floor, was not very good.
Midas, who was in such a bad shape, turned his head and looked at his surroundings.
king!
“master!”
Then he saw Lucky and Gold looking at him from a distance.
And I could see the worried faces of the two of them.
That was it.
king! king!
“Leave it to me! These bastards aren’t even a meal for me!”
“Your words are right!”
There was no sign of any battle from those who spat words.
It looks like he hasn’t even fought a single battle.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t participate in the battle.
“Why don’t you fight alongside your comrades?”
NPC Ara rather encouraged Midas to participate with her colleagues.
“it’s okay.”
Nevertheless, Midas rejected the offer.
In other words, this situation was Midas himself.
“I will do it alone.”
It was after hearing about the test from NPC Ara that I planned this now.
10 minute endurance quest.
The moment he heard that there was no game over in the test, Midas thought it was an opportunity.
‘I can’t blow the chance to experience the extreme without dying.’
A chance to be pushed to the extreme without a game over penalty.
Midas gladly accepted the opportunity.
‘Because getting a skill and going out here doesn’t solve the problem.’
Because it was more important to use 120% of what you have than to raise 1 level faster right now ahead of a given task.
Moreover, this decision was not made with the thought that it would be good to do it vaguely.
Rather, Midas was confident.
‘If I can use only my left hand properly, I can definitely expect great results.’
The left hand that becomes free the moment you activate a great mental skill, I am sure that I can do many things with that left hand.
“I will try one more time.”
That confidence made Midas take on another challenge.
“good.
NPC Ara waved once more at Midas’ request, and the piles of sand took on the shape of hyenas again, and Midas, facing them, took a short breath.
‘Let’s go steadily. Because I still have enough time. There’s no reason to go catch a black gold hyena right now.’
The sand hyenas pounced on Midas who made room for himself.

Black Gold Hyena.
– This is the first monster right?
A monster that has never appeared before.
Up to this point, nothing was unusual.
– It’s the first monster. It’s not the first time.
ㄴ But, you’ve never seen a normal player suddenly encounter the first monster like this, right?
However, an enemy who suddenly and unexpectedly appeared in front of ordinary players in this way has arguably never existed in the history of God Wars.
It was literally an unprecedented event.
An event that is impossible to interpret or predict by citing any case.
In the face of such an incident, there was only one thing to know.
– This is because of BJ Grand Mage.
– BJ Grand Mage did something.
– BJ Grand Mage again?
BJ’s great mage is the cause.
Of course, the rumors also came out with BJ Grand Mage.
– I heard BJ Grand Mage opened Pandora’s box? From now on, these monsters are going to appear everywhere?
ㄴ There are also rumors that BJ Grand Mage knew about it but deliberately didn’t say anything. deliberately to scale up.
ㄴ BJ Grand Mage saw that and gave up solo play?
ㄴ Damn it. BJ Grand Mage is an eternal solo, right?
It’s hotter than ever.
“This is a rumor I heard, but the BJ Archmage is so strong that the God Wars system is the result of a patch to kill BJ Archmage.
” ! It was a guy called
“So you’re saying this will continue to happen?”
If the rumors are true, it means that the game difficulty of God Wars will change in some way.
“Hellmode opens.”
Moreover, when looking at what was revealed, the difficulty was likely to be made in the higher direction.
“It’s still a garbage game, what should I call it now?”
“Dog crap game?”
There can be no more disastrous news for God Wars players.
“But we’re better off fucking pro players…. Ugh, just the thought of it is terrifying.”
Among them, for those who make their living through games, this situation was not at a level that could be passed with just one word, amazing.
“Look at Hyeonu. You’re tearing your hair out.”
“Tsk tsk, it seems like something is going on these days…. Why is he so unlucky?”
“Hyeonu is out of luck.”
It was for that reason that everyone shaking their heads as they looked at Jung Hyeon-woo, who was sitting on a sofa outside the break room, clutching his head with both hands and making an expression that he was carrying all the troubles in the world.
Of course, Jung Hyun-woo didn’t tear his hair out for that reason.
‘Fucked.’
The situation was much more serious than everyone thought.
‘How did this happen?’
The biggest problem is that ordinary players are caught up in the results of their actions.
‘And why are you so strong?’
It was also a problem that the power of the black gold hyena that was revealed was beyond common sense.
Isn’t it enough that 5 parties and over 100 players couldn’t do anything?
Even if it was an improvised party, the outcome was ridiculous.
‘I’m going to swear at this.’
Of course, this would cause considerable damage to many people for the time being, and such dissatisfaction would be directed at the BJ Archmage.
Not to mention, most of the players who hunt gold hyenas are Tier 1 or those with backgrounds and skills equivalent to those.
‘No, it’s good if you just curse.’
BJ Grand Mage, that bastard is a pure bad bastard! They weren’t the ones who complained once and ended it.
‘They might run to kill me.’
It was obvious that they would try to bite and hang on to the BJ Grand Mage who was getting in their way.
It was not an exaggeration.
With professional players putting their lives on the line, we couldn’t stand to see problems like this happen.
‘Because it’s only natural to panic when the food supply is cut off.’
Jung Hyeon-woo was also a professional player, so he knew that fact better than anyone else.
And there was already a way.
‘If I’m wrong, I might not give the black gold hyena to me.’
A chance to catch a black gold hyena not allowing it to BJ Archmage.
It was the easiest and surest way.
If you don’t catch it, you won’t be able to proceed with the main scenario quest.
‘I do not have time.’
Anyway, to sum it up, the time given to Jung Hyeon-woo was not very long.
As time goes on, the number of victims will increase, and those victims will vent their resentment to the BJ Archmage.
‘I have to catch it before it gets bigger.’
I had to deal with it before that.
It was best to kill the Black Gold Hyena as soon as possible and move on to the next stage.
‘Oh, that’s crazy. Why are things going this way?’
It was crazy for Jung Hyeon-woo, who thought that there would be plenty of time left.
Ugh!
The smartphone in Jung Hyun-woo’s pocket struggled.
The oscillation was brief.
Looks like an email has arrived.
‘ah.’
At that moment, Jung Hyun-woo was able to know who the caller was and what the message was without looking at his smartphone.
Because at this moment, there was only one person to urgently send an email to.
‘You’re from the Rising Star Channel.’
3.
McDonald’s As always, in a noisy place, a man dipped a fries into a milkshake and brought it to his mouth.
After that, tapping the laptop keyboard with greasy hands immediately showed the appearance of a busy office worker no matter who saw it.
No one would think that the man was Park Young-joon, the president of Rising Star Channel, whose stock price is soaring these days.
‘As expected, McDonald’s fries aren’t good.’
Moreover, no one dared to imagine that the reason he came to McDonald’s was for a meeting with BJ the Great Mage, not anyone else.
That was why he came here.
‘It’s not very nice to come out because I don’t trust my office.’
It may be information leakage in the office.
It was not delusion.
Currently, the Rising Star channel is the only channel for communication between BJ and the great mage, and that alone is enough to attract the attention of paparazzi and media outlets.
Here, one more BJ Grand Mage was the master of the board that moved the board that the world dare not even imagine.
It is only natural that those who want to leak information by hiring several hackers or coaxing Rising Star channel staff are full of cars.
In fact, from a certain point on, Park Young-joon used to conduct important meetings with the BJ master mage by himself without the knowledge of the staff.
In other words, the meeting with BJ Grand Mage was just as important.
– hello?
That important person appeared in front of Park Young-joon’s eyes.
His expression wearing the feather hat of the BJ Archmage was not very good.
Park Young-joon, who confirmed that expression, immediately tapped on the keyboard.
[Wharton: Sorry for the sudden request for a meeting. I couldn’t help it because the situation was a situation.]
At those words, the BJ archmage behind the monitor nodded once as if he understood.
Park Young-jun, who saw it, immediately hit the chat.
[Wharton: Did you expect this situation?]
The moment he typed the chat, a conversation from a few hours ago came to mind in Park Young-joon’s mind.
‘Azmo… … .’
He urgently requested a meeting through Azmo SNS and spoke on the spot.
Even BJ Grand Mage could never have predicted this situation.
And Park Young-joon agreed with that statement.
‘He’s right. If BJ Grand Mage had predicted this situation, he wouldn’t have drawn a picture like this.’
The BJ Grand Mage that Park Young-joon and Azmo both knew would never have let things go this way if they had expected this to happen.
The two of them were the ones who would have grown the board or changed the flow of the board in an unimaginable way.
To those two thoughts, the BJ archmage answered.
– This is unexpected. If you did, you would have notified the Rising Star channel first or prepared a countermeasure.
that your predictions were correct.
There was no embarrassment on Park Young-joon’s face when he heard that answer.
As I said earlier, this situation was expected.
Of course, we have prepared countermeasures against it.
[Wharton: Currently, the public opinion response is not good.]
[Wharton: They will definitely use media play to create an atmosphere that is unfavorable to BJ Archmage.]
[Wharton: Guilds can build a common front and interfere. ]
Prior to the countermeasures, the situation was analyzed more clearly.
– Whoa, that’s right.
At Park Young-jun’s analysis, the BJ master mage sighed briefly instead of answering.
A weak figure I had never seen before.
‘Even BJ Grand Mage knows. That this could be more troublesome than I thought.’
However, looking at the current situation, it was rather a great thing to end with such a sigh.
‘Because if something went wrong, all the 10 guilds might join hands to stop the BJ Archmage.’
Right away, BJ Daemage was in a situation where he revealed the will of a revolutionary who ate predators.
However, looking at it calmly, it was not an immediate threat from the perspective of the 10th guild and the 1st tier guild.
‘Because confusion comes when the plate changes.’
However, changing the game itself was a completely different story.
Sudden change is the way to divide between those who adapt and those who don’t, and those who don’t adapt are the law to be weeded out.
If so, what percentage of guilds above Tier 1 will be weeded out in this change?
‘After the chaos is over, most of them will be broke.’
Even if the odds were 10 percent, it would be a sleepless night.
‘The more you have, the more work you have to do.’
So those who had a lot to lose had no choice but to struggle to survive.
Then, what would be the countermeasure
? [Wharton: Azmo made a request in that situation.]
Surprisingly, it was Azmo who came up with the countermeasure.
he suggested.
[Wharton: Azmo will step up and support BJ Grand Mage.]
I will stand on BJ Grand Mage’s side in the public opinion contest!
Considering Azmo’s influence, that was a huge deal.
– Are you Azmo? What do you want?
Of course it wasn’t free.
[Wharton: The condition was to buy a stake in the Rising Star Channel.]
[Wharton: 1.35 percent was requested.]
The price was a stake in the Rising Star Channel.
Of course, I wasn’t really asking to buy the Rising Star Channel.
This was a signal sent to BJ Grand Mage.
‘I don’t know what BJ Grand Mage is, but he’s probably asking for 1.35 percent of what he gets at the end of this game.’
If you win a prize, give me 1.35 percent of it!
It was like taking a stake in the Rising Star Channel as a hostage.
‘At the same time, putting a limit on the board.’
At the same time, it wasn’t like saying that he would do something ambiguous like before, but it was also a kind of threat to ask for a clear price.
‘If you decline this offer, Azmo will stand on the other side of BJ Archmage.’
If he doesn’t accept this threat, Azmo will, of course, stand on the side of taking down the BJ Archmage.
‘From the point of view of the BJ great mage, the flesh must be cut.’
That’s why it’s not an easy choice.
– Oh, that’s great.
But surprisingly, BJ Grand Mage made the choice so easily.
– Well, it’s better to buy a stake and give a shield than just shield it.
Rather, to the extent of accepting the situation pleasantly.
– Don’t do that, let’s sell 30 percent. It’s just really good money.
Of course, the moment he heard BJ Grand Mage’s next words, Park Young-joon felt chills run down his spine.
‘You’re angry.’
He couldn’t have said this in the real sense of selling 30 percent. It was an expression of anger.
does it come out like this? Okay let’s try it.
such an expression of anger.
– It’s a joke. You can’t. How valuable is your stake in the Rising Star Channel? Isn’t it blood and flesh? Blood and flesh.
At the words that followed, Park Young-joon had to struggle to endure the hardening of his expression.
In the meantime, the BJ Grand Mage continued to speak.
– Anyway, since Azmo is moving, I can just focus on my work. We will start hunting black gold hyenas as soon as possible. Please set the stage right away.
At those words, Park Yeong-joon couldn’t hold back anymore and let out a short sigh.
‘It’s ridiculous behavior.’
The appearance of an unexpected situation.
And then, the threat of a powerful being called Azmo.
For ordinary people, far from stepping backwards in front of a wall that doesn’t even come out easily to ask for time to think, the only person in the world who can put their head in first is the BJ Great Mage.
‘Because it’s a really ridiculous stomach.’
Park Young-joon was surprised by that fact and gained strength at the same time.
The moment his faith in the BJ Grand Mage behind him springs up.
[Wharton: I see. I’ll set the stage right away.]
[Wharton: Is there anything in particular you want?]
In response to the question posed in such a situation, BJ Grand Mage thought about something for a while and answered soon.
– Anything should be fancy. You can’t just blow a big event like this, can you? Let’s go big.
Let’s go big. At those words, Park Young-joon thought of a person in his mind.
‘You’re asking me to receive an event from the midfield guild.’
example.
Recalling her, Youngjun Park tapped on the keyboard.
[Wharton: Yeah. We’ll contact you when everything is ready.]
– Good job.
After the conversation, Park Young-joon immediately closed his laptop and stood up.
‘Now, as equity trading begins… … .’
As of today’s time, it was clear that the board made by BJ Grand Mage would change and the value of the things that moved on that board would be much higher.
‘I can’t hold any more meetings in a place like this.’
Information security was also required.
‘I’ll need to hire security experts for security. I’ll have to look for it.’
Park Young-joon, who had organized the things he had to do in his head, left McDonald’s.
