Chapter 291. < Episode 92. Hide and seek (2). >
4.
There’s nothing better than money to get people’s attention in this world.
God Wars superstar player Azmo When he said that as one of his secrets to popularity, no one disputed it.
And no one really wanted to argue.
I just wonder how much Azmo will spend to get attention like he said.
– It’s a $50,000 hide-and-seek game! Just looking for it is $50,000!
The same was true of the hide-and-seek event with the highest prize money of BJ Grand Wizard.
No one disputed the contents of the event or questioned the background of the event.
– Crazy, isn’t this the greatest event ever?
b It’s the best ever. Wouldn’t it be much better to go see BJ Grand Mage than go hunting for Legendary Items?
ㄴBut is this an individual unit?
ㄴ It must be a party unit.
ㄴ Still, 100 parties cost 5 million dollars. Wow, what kind of scale is like a lottery ticket.
ㄴBut what if it’s a real individual unit?
b that’s crazy
Just reacting violently towards this ridiculous event.
It wasn’t that intense.
“The number of subscribers is rising steeply.”
“I am at work now. Oh that’s right! Anyway, if you find BJ Grand Mage in the sand forest, it’s right to give him $50,000! I’m at work, call me later.”
“Yes, this is the Rising Star channel. Oh, an ad? You have to do that with the PR team, not this route, right? yes? Can’t speak to the boss?”
Right after the live broadcast ended, the office of the Rising Star Channel did not stop exploding like a volcano that had just exploded, and the heat like lava did not subside.
It was the same with Park Young-joon.
“Whoa.”
He just turned off his smartphone altogether and took a deep breath as if he was trying to cool off the heat that was seething inside him.
In fact, his condition was hotter than anyone else.
‘I barely succeeded in directing.’
Azmo’s sudden bet that came out a little while ago was not his impulsive choice, but a directing that came out under the agreement between Park Young-jun and Azmo.
meaning it was planned.
Of course, I didn’t know that BJ Daemage would use hide-and-seek content.
‘If you didn’t expect the midfield guild to do something and prepare for it… … .’
I was just preparing for the thought that the possibility of an accident occurring through the midfield guild or the Abyss guild in any way is very high, and that the accident will not be sorted out smoothly if it does happen.
And the moment the problem broke out, the moment the midfield guild suddenly took their hands off the board, Park Young-joon opened a hotline with Azmo.
Then, the moment BJ Daemage brought out the hide and seek content, he made a deal with Azmo through the hotline.
Azmo please step up and scale up this hide and seek event.
‘…. It wouldn’t have ended at the level of handing over the stake.’
Then, I will sell part of the Rising Star Channel’s stake to Azmo.
In fact, if it wasn’t for that offer, there would be no reason for Azmo to pay a large sum of money without looking back at that moment.
From Azmo’s point of view, the more difficult BJ Grand Mage got into trouble, the more he was able to use that as an excuse to seek a closer relationship with him.
In any case, it was only natural for Park Young-joon to sigh repeatedly to calm his heated stomach at a moment of great urgency.
“Whoa.”
‘Still, it’s amazing.’
On the other hand, the ability of BJ Archmage who recalled such wit at that moment was also tremendous.
Honestly, even if people around you try to help, you need to have an opportunity to help them.
If BJ Grand Mage planned an event with a game play there, there would be limits to help.
But hide and seek was different.
Because it was possible to participate in the war as much as possible under the pretext of prize money.
‘As well as the security officer.’
At the same time, the role of the security officer who quickly created the hotline and maintained security was also significant.
If the contents of this conversation were caught by the Abyss Guild or other competing groups along the way, it would have been right despite the backlash.
No, if I had no faith in security, I would never have been able to quickly share this story through the hotline.
After hesitating, he must have blown the best timing in the end.
‘Fifty thousand dollars.’
In any case, a big event occurred as a result.
A big event that will lightly turn all incidents and accidents that have happened into the past.
In other words, the scenario that the Abyss Guild and the Jungwon Guild wanted was crushed.
“Whoa.
That was the reason Park Young-joon was trying to regain his composure somehow.
‘The next action of the Abyss Guild and the Midfield Guild is important.’
Those two groups will never sit idly by.
‘Because BJ Archmage will somehow make them pay a fatal price this time.’
And BJ Grand Mage won’t just sit idly by when the two of them bared their teeth at him.
Tuk-tuk!
That’s how Park Young-jun started to agonize.
5.
“Wow, that’s a big deal.”
“Fifty thousand dollars just by finding it. Players in the desert are lucky.”
“No, you’re not at the lucky level, are you?”
After BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast ended, people talked about Hana’s next hide-and-seek event in the sand forest.
“Hey, I heard that the Explorers Guild is announcing a surprise event?”
“I’m not interested in that.”
Other news that would normally have been shocking enough, I couldn’t even hear it.
As such, the conditions for hide-and-seek this time were unconventional in many ways.
“I envy you, I envy you. If I had a character in the desert, I would run to the sand forest unconditionally.”
“By the way, isn’t that the preview for Hell Mode? Wouldn’t it be like hell if I only had meteorite impact field class?”
“What does that mean? If you just find BJ Grand Mage, 50,000 dollars will be deposited.”
“Wouldn’t that be easy though? The last time BJ Grand Mage had a hide-and-seek event, nobody could find it, right?”
“It’s different from back then! Isn’t it possible to know the location of BJ Grand Mage in real time through live broadcasting?”
Not to mention the amount, and unlike the last time to find the hidden BJ master mage, this hide-and-seek game was able to locate in real time through live broadcasting.
“Even if I jump, it’s a sand forest.”
Crucially, this time the stage was limited.
“It’s difficult, it’s nabal, and even if you can’t eat this, you know.”
“That’s right, isn’t it game over?”
In many ways, there didn’t seem to be many easier ways to get your hands on the amount of $50,000.
Everyone deserves to be on fire.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
Of course, Jung Hyeon-woo was an exception in that heat.
Right now, the situation itself wasn’t bad.
No matter what happened, the audience’s expectations were naturally passed on to the next live broadcast without opposition.
‘It’s gotten too big.’
The problem was that the scale was too large.
‘It’s not even my money… … .’
Moreover, the prize money now staked is large in size, but it was not the money Jung Hyun-woo paid.
It’s the money paid by those who look good on Jung Hyun-woo.
In terms of horse racing, Jung Hyeon-woo was a racehorse, and the sponsors were the people who bet.
But what if those customers and their sponsors suffer huge losses because of Jung Hyun-woo?
A headache.
‘Ah, this shouldn’t be easy to get caught.’
You really have to play hide-and-seek with all your might.
The story did not end here.
“Rather than that, this is going to have a lot of parties?”
“Not to the extent that it happens, but the God Wars community is already making a hunting pot for BJ master mages.”
It took this amount of prize money, but it was unlikely that there would be people who acted individually.
“I just heard the breaking news.”
“trot?”
“Yes, breaking. Rumors have flowed out that Tier 1 guilds are uniting to win prize money.”
Even players belonging to tier 1 guilds are talking about holding hands.
Of course, since the source was Lee Hyuk-ju, it couldn’t have been the information he heard through the proper route, but what was clear was that the possibility was very high.
“Are you allying? Tier 1 kids?”
“Isn’t the money at stake money?”
“Money is money, but box office performance is different. It’s a big event no matter who sees it, so if you catch BJ Grand Mage first.”
“It’s a catch anyway, but it’s a chance to appear on the BJ Grand Mage broadcast. A chance to appear on a broadcast that may exceed 100 million real-time live viewers.”
Regardless of the amount, there was no event stage where pro players could get to know themselves as much as this.
And it was the players of the tier 1 guild who were more thirsty than anyone else ahead of the chance to become a rising star.
‘Everyone will come.’
It is no exaggeration to say that all the players in the desert gather in the sand forest to catch the BJ archmage.
‘I’ll build a large party if necessary.’
At the same time, it was clear that those who gathered like that would put down their feelings and hold hands in front of the same purpose.
As in the case of the meteorite impact field, the possibility of being easily defeated, confused, or left out was also very low.
Playing hide and seek against them?
‘It’s not the time to be like this.’
At that point, Jung Hyeon-woo couldn’t even think about it any longer.
“Hyunwoo-hyung thinks so too, right? Do you think everyone will flock to hunt BJ Grand Mage? uh? Hyunwoo hyung, where are you going?”
“I’m going to play a game.”
Because he didn’t even have time to worry.

[Wand Cutter]
– Skill Rank: F
– Skill Effect: Throws a sword made of wind. As the skill rank increases, the number of blades that can be summoned increases.
A unique grade magic wind cutter obtained from the level 220 achievement card reward.
There was no particular emotion in Midas’s expression when he saw the skill card.
It wasn’t that Wind Cutter was a bad skill.
It was a good enough attacking skill to be labeled as unique.
‘Once I picked it up… … .’
It’s just that there are already many good attack skills such as Midas’ Wind Cutter.
‘As expected, the cooldown calculation doesn’t work well.’
For Midas, who already had many skills, it was difficult to expect a tangible increase in power just by adding a wind cutter.
That was the reason.
[Big Explosion]
– Skill Rank: F
– Skill Effect: Throws a fireball that causes a big explosion. As the skill rank increases, the explosion range and power increase.
Midas’ expression looking at the Big Explosion skill description window didn’t show any signs of relief.
‘I’m glad I have this.’
If he didn’t even have the Big Explosion skill, he would have experienced troublesome things in many ways.
Above all, the Big Explosion skill was an item that took time to obtain even if there was money, as there were virtually no items on the market.
‘Thank you, Abyss Guild.’
It is a part where gratitude to the Abyss Guild is inevitable.
In any case, I didn’t have to worry about that.
“Lucky.”
king!
“As expected, the Legendary Epic Skill Card should be used for this, right?”
One of the 2 Legendary Epic Skill Cards in my hand had to be used for the Big Explosion.
king!
“You want to use the master skill book as well?”
In addition, there was also a master skill book for Legendary in Midas’ hands.
You can make one of your Legendary Skills into a Legendary Epic at the same time you achieve Master Rank.
“What do you think of Gold?”
“Anything your decision will be right. No, I will make it right.”
“Okay then let’s go.”
Considering the utility value of the Big Explosion skill, it was a choice that had no reason to hesitate, and of course Midas did not hesitate.
[The skill rank of the Big Explosion skill becomes the master rank.]
After using the master skill book, immediately after opening the epic skill card book, he selected a skill.
[Big Explosion]
– Skill Rank: S
– Skill Effect: Throws a fireball that causes two big explosions. As the skill rank increases, the explosion range and power increase.
The effect created by becoming a Legendary Epic explodes twice!
The power of Midas’ long toss, dragon vein revolver, and falling star when stacked goes in not once, but twice?
terrible level.
It was the moment when a weapon so powerful that even Midas’ hand trembled was in his hand.
However, Midas did not show excitement or excitement at this moment.
‘The last one.’
Rather, he looked at the remaining Legendary Epic skill card book in his inventory with a cold expression.
Normally, it was a card to save for the next Legendary skill, but now it was different from usual.
At this moment, Midas had to make a decision.
‘I have to write this.’
Because I had to put all my energy into the big event of Hide and Seek in the Sand Forest.
The question is, which skill should I use? part to do.
[Opening the skill card book (Legendary Epic).]
Midas immediately opened the legendary skill card book in front of that difficult task.
Then, as many cards as the number of Legendary-grade skills he had appeared in front of him, emitting emerald light.
It was an ecstatic sight.
At the same time, it was an agonizing sight.
Thunderbolt and Inferno, Midas’ most powerful attack skills, were level 100 skills, but their power was strong.
Or making one of the Blaze Golems or Frost Golems Legendary Epic wasn’t bad either.
Otherwise, choosing a skill like Dragon’s Eye or Dragon’s Dignity is full of merit.
However, there was only one thing that caught Midas’ eyes.
[Blink]
– Skill Grade: Legendary Epic
– Skill Effect: Instantly move to a designated space. After teleporting, all aggro is reset.
blink.
After checking the skill description, Midas reached for the Blink skill card without hesitation.
It was a clear expression of will.
‘Anyway, if I catch the desert king, the hide-and-seek event is over. Then I have no choice but to catch it as quickly as possible.’
An expression of will to finish the Desert King raid faster than anyone else.
In other words, that was the answer Midas gave.
‘And it’s hide and seek, it’s Nabal, and if you can’t catch me, there’s no prize money.’
The answer given so as not to give a single penny to the hide-and-seek prize.
