Chapter 242. < Episode 78. Rival gimmick (2). >

“Good job.”
With that last word, Midas changed his expression the moment the chat window disappeared with the end of the private broadcast.
“wow!”
He said to Lucky and the Guardian, who were looking at him with a bright smile like a child eating sugar for the first time, instead of the poop-chewed expression he had been making a moment ago.
“Guys, it’s done! Azmo-sama said he shielded you!”
My colleagues immediately responded to Midas’ words.
king!
Lucky barked briefly once and waggled his tail vigorously, as if he was happy with his master’s joy.
Clap clap clap clap!
And Gold immediately clapped his hands.
“Hey senior…. .
Silverman tilted his head as if he didn’t understand the situation properly before asking Gold, who was cautiously clapping his hands at a rate of three times per second next to him.
“What kind of person is Azmo-sama?”
“Seeing that the master is so happy, he must have a very noble personality, excellent insight, and great knowledge.”
In fact, I don’t know too well. Gold’s way of expressing those words in a loud way, and Silver’s ah! After admiring it, I clapped myself.
couw!
Only Jackpot showed a nervous look as he repeatedly looked at one place without being mixed in the atmosphere.
It wasn’t because Midas’s actions made her look ferocious.
Gold Valley The black gold hyenas that have appeared there are just warnings about a great threat.
Only then could Midas calm down his excitement.
‘Yes, I have to catch the black gold hyena in the end.’
I have a clue to solve the problem, but the problem is not solved yet.
Of course, Midas didn’t take the situation as seriously as before.
‘Still, it can be sorted out to some extent just by catching it.’
As Midas had thought, it was now possible to deal with the situation to some extent just by catching it.
‘If Azmo-sama covers it, I won’t be penalized for my actions even if I get cursed at.’
As one of the most powerful men in Azmo God Wars and no one else, he takes a physical exercise against anyone who takes his side?
There is nothing you can’t do.
But, of course, there is a lot of pressure.
‘You don’t want to fight with me until you feel the burden.’
Even more so, even if Azmo was excluded, the existence of BJ Grand Mage was not an existence that could be caught just because he wanted to.
No matter what, he had to make a life-and-death decision the moment he attacked the BJ archmage, but the pressure was more than blushing with Azmo.
‘Let’s focus on the black gold hyena.’
Anyway, thanks to Azmo, Midas now only had to focus on one boss monster raid.
Azmo and the Rising Star channel will handle the handling after catching.
Having come to that conclusion, Midas turned his head and looked at NPC Ara.
“I’ll go right away.”
“Are you going to do it alone this time? Do you think it would be better to get some help from your colleagues now?”
After Midas paused to answer the question, he turned to look at his colleagues.
After that, I looked at NPC Ara again and thought for a while.
‘Just because this quest is easy doesn’t mean things will be solved easily.’
Even if the situation turned out well with outside help, when dealing with the black gold hyena that needs to be caught, Midas himself has to do it in the end.
‘An opportunity comes after a crisis, in other words, you cannot seize an opportunity without taking a risk.’
I couldn’t overcome the crisis right in front of my eyes, but it was just a fluke that I hoped to overcome the crisis.
‘Now I have a feeling. I also learned new magic. It’s possible now.’
After thinking so, Midas said.
“I will do it alone this time.”
5.
Crisis is an opportunity soon.
Words that you will hear at least once in any field in the world.
God Wars was no different.
– Black Gold Hyena It’s no joke. Doesn’t seem to take any damage in black gold mode.
ㄴ No matter how much dealing you do, it’s 100% if you see that the phase doesn’t change.
ㄴ I’m sure you’ll need conditions to deal.
ㄴ Looking at it, low HP mages and healers, as well as a few tanks, can’t stand it.
Black Gold Hyena.
Some of them took the fearsomeness of the monster that had already wiped out 12 parties as an opportunity.
– If you catch this, it will be great, right?
b It’s okay. Just catch it and you’ll become a star right away.
A chance to become a star in the sky at once.
– Maybe the default 10 million live viewers?
ㄴ Even if it gets game over while catching it, it seems like it will get 10 million viewers.
ㄴ At this point, going to a game over should be treated as courageous, right?
b It’s a business that remains even after death.
Even if it didn’t succeed, it was an opportunity that left enough charm.
– You just say it’s someone else’s business.
b that’s right If it’s that good, do you guys go and catch it?
ㄴ What is an easy business to be able to survive even if you die? Getting a ticket right now is a taste of death, right?
Of course, most of those who spoke such words had neither the desire nor the ability to become challengers.
Of those who really deserved the challenge, only a few saw it as an opportunity.
“It’s a good opportunity.”
Yehwa She was one of those very few.
Of course, her chances were not on the same level as greater prestige.
“A chance to put BJ Grand Mage into a corner.”
It was an opportunity to obtain something more valuable that could not be compared to that.
“Don’t you think so too, Emma?”
[Emma: I agree.]
That thought was the same for Emma, who is talking to her through the chat window.
[Emma: I’m sure even BJ Grand Mage would have been unexpected for this situation.
]
First of all, the reason this situation was the best opportunity was that it was unexpected even for BJ Grand Mage when looking at the circumstances before and after.
So far, there has been a proper gap in the style of the BJ archmage who has always made a perfect plate and trampled on the plate at will.
Of course, the two women intended to break through the gap.
[Emma: So, have you prepared a plan?]
“There will be no difference between what I thought and what you thought, Emma.”
[Emma: I’m thinking of competing with BJ Tsushima over the black gold hyena.]
“Yes. Of course, only BJ and the two of us are participating in the party.”
That too for sure.
It was literally.
[Emma: If you’re going to drive them into a corner, it’s better to drive them into a corner.]
What would happen if only two parties, the midfield guild and the BJ master mage, went on a black gold hyena raid?
First of all, the chance of success of the raid was extremely low.
If necessary, you have to hold hands and play cooperatively, but that situation itself is blocked in advance.
“That’s right, either getting a game over or reaching out your hand.”
In such a situation, the options that BJ Grand Mage could choose were naturally limited.
“If we risk a game over, then we should leave it like that.”
There was nothing wrong with choosing to die alone.
Because the dignity of BJ Grand Mage will be cracked.
“If you hold out your hand, you can ask for the price.”
Conversely, if the BJ Grand Mage eventually reached out, all he had to do was ask for a price equivalent to that.
Isn’t it possible for someone who doesn’t want to fall off the edge of a cliff to reject the request of the person who reached out?
Of course, there was one risk with this plan.
[Emma: Can you catch it?]
Will the midfield guild be able to catch the black gold hyena on their own?
If you can’t catch it, the midfield guild won’t be able to escape the option of game over, right?
Yehwa answered that question.
“It is not easy. Honestly, the odds are less than 40 percent. Even the phase of the black gold hyena has not been confirmed.”
not high
Nevertheless, the expression on Yehwa’s face as she spat out such words was calm.
“It’s a business that can survive even if it fails.”
Like the public opinion, this black gold hyena raid was a business that would survive even if it failed.
“If you fail like BJ the great mage, you will be left with more.”
Even more so, it wasn’t enough business to get involved with BJ’s great mage.
“After that, public opinion about BJ Archmage will only get worse.”
Rather, if it fails, BJ Grand Mage will be cornered even more.
No matter how the calculation was done, there was nothing to lose from the position of the midfield guild.
So, there was only one thing I had to worry about right now.
[Emma: Have you prepared a plan to attract them?]
How can I get the BJ master mage to sit in this game where I can’t see even if I want to lose?
Yehwa answered that question.
“You can mention the theory of responsibility for BJ’s great mage. At least it changes public opinion so that he cannot easily be held accountable.”
accountability.
It was clearly an effective method.
[Emma: And are there any more?]
But it wasn’t a sure way.
Contrary to what it looks like, BJ Grand Mage was not a snake-like lion that moved in a more perfect calculation than anyone else, and was not someone who could be placed at a disadvantage just by public opinion based on the theory of responsibility.
“We have to use the rival gimmick.”
In other words, it was like a snake, but the basis was a lion.
“If we ask for a revenge match, we have no choice but to accept it out of pride.”
A lion who has no choice but to accept a match that comes from the front.
[Emma: That’s great. If a rival gimmick is created because of this incident, it will be easier to hold ankles in the same way in the future.]
At the conclusion of such an illustration, Emma vomited sincere admiration.
And the example was the same.
“I’m glad you understand right away. When I said this, most people reacted with skepticism.”
‘As expected, I understand right away.’
He vomited admiration inwardly toward Emma, who immediately grasped the meaning of his plan.
“I wish we had met a little earlier. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been dragged around by the BJ Archmage like this.”
[Emma: If you need anything, just tell me. The Abyss Guild will spare no support
whatsoever.”
Yehwa paused for a moment before speaking.
“Do you have a Hellfire skill card? If that’s the case, I think it’s possible to negotiate enough.”
Hellfire.
The moment the word came out, the answer came immediately.
[Emma: I prepared a negotiating card in advance for a day like this.]
I prepared in advance.
At that reliable answer, Yehwa now smiled and said.
“Then, everything is ready. The only thing left is what does BJ Grand Mage bring… … .
Yehwa, who gave such an answer, laughed.
“How can I prepare for this?”
6.
[You have survived 10 minutes.]
[The quest conditions have been met.]
Upon hearing the notification after 51 challenges, Midas shouted as he raised his fists in both hands and raised them above his head.
“I did it! I did it!”
[Your level has risen.]
[You have reached level 200.]
[You have reached 200 titles. A rune will be given as a reward.]
[The dragon only for war gives you a very special opportunity.]
[Would you like to use the opportunity?]
The notifications that kept ringing in Midas’ ears didn’t work properly.
“Good job. I have nothing to teach you now.”
[Acquired a great mental skill.]
Despite the notification that followed, Midas honestly couldn’t come to his senses.
“downpour!”
While stepping on the steps and dancing shoulder to shoulder without rest, he just congratulates himself on his achievements with a ceremony full of madness.
Under normal circumstances, it was a sight that would have frowned upon the viewer.
However, NPC Ara didn’t care about him and delivered the story.
“Now there is only one thing left. All you have to do is to defeat that monster that has appeared in Gold Valley.”
[The new quest has been updated in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
And in front of that notification, Midas had no choice but to calm down his excitement.
‘ah.’
In the end, it’s time to prepare for the showdown.
‘I have to come to my senses.’
Only then did Midas stop the shoulder dance and take up his posture, first checking the quest information.
[Gold Valley]
– Quest Level: Main Scenario
– Quest Level: Below level 229
– Quest Description: Destroy the Altar hidden in Gold Valley!
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with ‘Pioneer Leader’
‘Oh, there is no reward.’
After confirming the contents of the quest that made me dizzy, the next thing Midas opened was the inventory.
I focused on two of them.
‘Currently, I have one Master Skill Book and two Legendary Epic Skill Books.’
He identified the surest way to improve his specs.
Of course, I didn’t use it right away.
“Acquisition of level 200 reward.”
‘It’s the level 100 section, of course Legendary will come out.’
In the God Wars system, the skill card rewards obtained in units of 100 levels are unconditionally legendary.
It was natural to decide on the Legendary Epic Skill Card Book after checking the skill.
‘Hellfire, come out.’
Moreover, among the legendary skills that can be obtained at level 200, there was also a magic hellfire with tremendous power.
‘Please, because I can’t find one even with money because there is no property for sale.’
It’s so valuable that it’s so powerful that there are at least a hundred rich people who want to buy it now.
[A dragon only for war gives you a very special opportunity. Would you like to use the opportunity?]
“Yes.
As soon as he answered the notification with such earnest prayer, 100 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
All of the least rare grades radiated a brilliant light as one, waiting for the selection.
Of course, Midas’ eyes followed only one.
‘Where is Legendary Legendary?’
The only card that shines in golden light!
‘huh?’
However, the golden card that Midas had hoped for was nowhere to be seen.
“what? bug? no really?”
Something that can’t be done without a bug.
“Damn this crap game! Really fucking garbage… … .
Instead of the golden light, Midas’ eyes, which naturally vented his anger, showed a different light.
A dazzling emerald color.
‘uh? Legendary?’
Midas confirmed the contents of the card that had the light that he had only seen in Legendary Epic.
[Hell Fire]
– Skill Grade: Legendary Epic
– Skill Effect: Summons the flames of hell. All defense and buff effects disappear on the part touched by fire.
Confirming that, Midas spit out the words.
“…. I was the trash. I’m sorry for cursing at God’s game.
