Chapter 317. < Episode 99. White Forest (2). >
4.
There were two things people were most interested in when the bomb exploded.
One is where the bomb exploded.
The other is where the bomb exploded.
Of course, public attention was focused on the latter Rising Star channel.
“The current schedule is private. sorry.”
“Oh well, I don’t know. I can’t tell you even if I know! This is handled in the utmost secrecy within our company!”
“Yes, yes, I will pass on the message to the boss. Yes, I will definitely deliver the advertiser’s opinion accurately.”
And the Rising Star channel staff, who were greeted with that interest, did not do their job and just talked on the phone without a break while holding on to their smartphones or phones.
A truly mindless situation.
In that situation, only Park Young-joon was holding on to the silence without any conversation.
Of course, the boss also works for Park Young-joon, right? no one said that.
Tuk-tuk!
The expression of Park Young-joon, who was constantly tapping his head with his fingers, clearly showed that he had faced a more difficult challenge than any other employee here.
It was the proposal from the Jungwon Guild that made Park Young-joon worry.
Park Young-jun also expected that the proposal would come.
‘I never thought they would make such an offer there.’
However, the content of the proposal was unexpected.
‘Well, there’s no way he wouldn’t know that I’d refuse it if it was something serious.’
In fact, Park Young-joon predicted that the offer would come, and at the same time he was determined to reject the offer.
It was obvious.
Currently, the BJ Grand Mage is in a situation where the match is at the edge of a cliff, but he accepts the proposal of the other party who made it happen?
If I had even a little bit of that thought in my head, I wouldn’t have started this final game in the first place.
Even if he received an offer, it was only a story for later, and he had to show himself to finish as if it were a final match.
‘Because at the gambling table, if you look down on yourself, you become a keeper.’
That way, even if you bet on a match in the same way later, the other person will have no choice but to be scared.
‘Even if that’s not the case, there’s nothing that appeals to BJ’s great mage.’
Of course, one of the reasons I was determined to decline the offer was that there were virtually no cards in the opponent’s midfield guild or Abyss guild that could move BJ Grand Mage.
item? It already made no sense.
money? Has there ever been a time when BJ Grand Mage was in trouble because of lack of money?
information? Who now holds the most valuable information?
The midfield guild, which made the proposal, also knew about it.
Because they went the other way.
‘But I never thought I’d make an offer that would grant my wish.’
Whatever you want, I will make it happen somehow within the capacity of the midfield guild.
‘third time.’
Not just once, like the genie of the lamp, but three times!
It was an incredibly unconventional condition.
First of all, the fact that the midfield guild makes such a proposal means that the kiss with the explorer guild and the abyss guild is over to some extent.
‘I can prevent the intervention of the Explorers Guild or the Abyss Guild.’
In other words, their actions can be restricted at any time.
‘Or go the other way.’
Otherwise, he could have benefited from making them move.
From the standpoint of the BJ master mage, who will soon have to engage in an all-out war, not a proxy war, there will be no more attractive proposal than this.
Because of this, Park Young-joon was convinced.
‘BJ Grand Mage gets a deal.’
Given the nature of BJ’s great mage, there was no way he could refuse this offer.
That was the reason for the concern.
‘And the midfield guild will mobilize all means and methods to catch such a BJ great mage.’
It was clear that the moment BJ Grand Mage received this proposal, the midfield guild would desperately do its best.
And it had to be.
When BJ Daemage first met the key members of the Jungwon Guild, the Jungwon Guild had a higher level, but not anymore.
To the midfielder guild right away, White Forest, the next hunting ground after Ogre Forest, was a higher hunting ground than their specs.
The fact that the Jungwon Guild shares the hunting ground with the BJ Daemage means that the White Forest is virtually the last.
It was for this reason that he made the reckless proposal.
That if it wasn’t this time, I wouldn’t be able to sit at the plate anymore.
‘It won’t be easy.’
It was a task that required sufficient determination from the point of view of the BJ archmage.
Moreover, the troubles did not end here.
‘Dealing with the midfield guild and worrying about where to use the wish obtained in that way.’
The reward given after that can’t be wasted either.
It was that part that Park Young-joon was most worried about right now.
‘What kind of wish is the BJ Great Mage expecting?’
5.
“Hyung, what’s up? Why are you throwing your mind on the floor like that?”
At Lee Hyuk-joo’s question, Jeong Hyeon-woo shook his hand instead of answering.
It means that I’m in a very serious trouble right now, so don’t talk to me.
“Are you going to raise a new character too? Are you going to do the main scenario quest?”
Seeing that, Lee Hyuk-ju asked a new question instead of stepping back, and Jung Hyun-woo let out a deep sigh instead of answering that question.
And Lee Hyuk-ju accepted that sigh as a positive.
“You have to think carefully.”
Then Lee Hyuk-joo gave sincere advice.
“It is said that it makes money, but the current competition rate is no joke. Now, more than half of the capsule room guests, including older brother Kyunghyeon and Uncle Joo-gwang, are looking for an altar in the village of beginnings.”
Long advice that doesn’t seem to stop easily.
Eventually, Jung Hyeon-woo opened his mouth.
“It’s not like that, but you’re worried about finding a place to borrow money because you’re in a hurry right now? So, Hyeok-ju, do you have any money?”
At the money talk, Lee Hyuk-ju immediately changed his complexion, then turned his head and said.
“Oh right! have to clean I’m sorry to bother you.”
Then, he brought out the word cleaning, which he usually treated like the devil’s name, and disappeared.
In the peace that came only then, Jung Hyeon-woo started to worry again.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
A deep anguish began to form on Jung Hyun-woo’s face again.
In fact, until 10 minutes ago, Jeong Hyeon-woo was in agony, but he was in a pleasant agony.
‘Genie’s lamp……’
I was happy when I found out that Genie’s lamp literally grants 3 wishes as a reward for an event match-up in the midfield guild.
No, it wasn’t just happy, it was crazy.
Would you give it if I asked for 10 billion in cash as a wish? I think the midfield guild can give you enough? What do you do when you have 10 billion? Shall we pick up a nice sports car? Will I be able to become a higher-ranking being by investing in a building? I can’t sleep at night just thinking about it.
However, at some point in the repeated delusions, Jung Hyeon-woo realized.
‘Betting such a reward means that the client wants a really great event match… … .’
The greater the expectation, the greater the reward.
Here, Jung Hyeon-woo went one step further.
There would never be a reason for the midfield guild to raise expectations vaguely without anything.
I must have seen something, so the bet amount has changed.
It was obvious what it was.
‘I must have set my expectations high after seeing my performance.’
Because Jung Hyun-woo knew better than anyone else what the BJ Grand Mage had shown him recently.
That was the factor that made Jeong Hyeon-woo worry even more.
‘Oh shit, I pretended to hide my power for no reason.’
At that time, Midas pretended not to exert his full power, but in reality he was in a state of full force.
In summary, the midfield guild planned an event match based on the fact that BJ Grand Mage would summon all the spirits and fire an enormous amount of magic on them, and BJ Grand Mage had to live up to that expectation.
‘I can’t say that it was all fake… … .’
This is the part that is full of worries.
The problem did not end here.
“Wow, as expected, BJ Grand Mage is amazing. Are you just giving away this amazing piece of information for free?”
“It wasn’t even advertised.”
“After all, the scale is different. Rather, I heard that BJ Grand Mage is going to the White Forest sooner or later?”
“Because the quest process was revealed. While asking for a proper filming of that, too.”
“Then it must be a raft event, right?”
“Are you going to just skip the event like the flower of the AD deal?”
From now on, the BJ Great Mage had to perform even more spectacularly.
6.
White Forest, the hunting ground after Ogre’s Forest.
This forest, literally full of white, had another nickname: the ant nest.
The reason for the nickname was that literally the main monsters appearing there were ants.
In many ways, a completely different hunting ground, good or bad, from the hunting grounds I’ve encountered so far.
What was more interesting was the way to the White Forest.
“We are looking for raft pods!”
The Larma River at the end of the ogre forest.
The way to get to the White Forest was to get on a raft and move downstream in the vast river.
Of course, it was not a place you could go to just by floating a raft.
While riding the raft like that, many ranged attacking monsters would attack the raft from a distance.
In particular, if the raft was damaged by repeated attacks, it was like a game over immediately.
This means that you must deal with the attack before it hits you.
For that reason, the quest to the White Forest was notorious for being difficult.
If 10 parties challenge, about 3 of them will sink and float away to reality.
“A dealer who will go with the raft pod! We will treat you right!”
“We will provide generous compensation for skilled dealers!”
Naturally, the treatment and demand for remote dealers was bound to be higher than ever.
“Oh there! It’s a BJ master mage!”
“come! The BJ Great Mage is here!”
Even though Lucky, Gold, and Silver were put forward, this was the reason players paid attention to BJ Grand Mage first.
“God Wars’ strongest one-deal is here!”
Among players below level 300, there has never been a ranged dealer stronger than BJ Archmage even in the history of God Wars.
“It’s always been great, but this time it will be really great. It’s a raft quest.”
“Anyway, it’s a stage made by God Wars for BJ Archmage.”
“Ah, I want to quickly take a selfie with BJ Daemado Love.”
The level of public interest that gathered was enormous.
“Come on, everyone, calm down! From now on, we will have fan service time for only 20 minutes! Get in line!”
And that interest was even more evident the moment Midas declared fan service.
“Let’s go to BJ Grand Mage!”
“Here, it’s unconditionally BJ’s great mage!”
“I have to shoot BJ Daemado Love for today!”
Unlike usual, players competed with BJ Grand Mage to take a selfie first.
king!
“As expected, the world seems to recognize your greatness.”
Its popularity is so great that there are no players in front of Lucky and Gold Silver.
It was the first time Midas was treated properly as the main character.
‘shit.’
However, Midas could not enjoy this moment in peace.
‘If you play an active part here… … .’
Earlier, during the twin head troll raid, Midas hid his firepower as much as possible.
In such a state, this time, on the contrary, show your own firepower show?
If so, the two would naturally merge in people’s heads, and expectations would rise as well.
Of course, it was something I would be happy to welcome normally.
But not now.
‘…. The anticipation pierces the ceiling.’
The midfield guild already has a burdensome expectation, but it is an honest feeling that I want to avoid adding to that expectation.
No, I didn’t want to avoid it, but I had already made a plan to avoid it.
‘I didn’t even apply for a live broadcast to reduce expectations on purpose… … .’
In fact, Midas was not planning to broadcast this Raft Quest live.
It was obvious that I would have to work more passionately and actively if I did a broadcast.
Even if that wasn’t the case, the aftermath had to be huge in many ways when it was broadcast live.
‘As expected, I have to go with the strong guild.’
The next plan was to go on a raft quest with talented people who, when they saw themselves, would rather run to win than help.
Above all else, to avoid doing a one-man show.
Midas’ eyes, with such a will, quickly scanned the surroundings.
‘Kids who don’t even try to take selfies with me.’
Instead of taking a selfie with him, he found a group of players looking very closely at the scene.
There were quite a few such categories.
The White Forest was a stage for players below level 300, in fact, a stage for graduating from level 200, and it was a stage that could not be climbed without considerable time, money, and talent.
That’s why there were many pro players who became professional players or more star players who became a gamer.
‘also.’
To those types of people, BJ Grand Mage is an object of competition or envy rather than an object of envy.
‘Kids with good skills have rather savage eyes.’
Among those around him, Midas’ eyes quickly found a famous guild.
‘uh?’
Then one caught my eye.
‘Triple A Guild?’
AAA Guild.
He could see a large group of guild members from one of the top 10 guilds looking at him with respect.
In particular, I could see one of them in the middle looking at him with the feeling that he was about to get sick of wanting to eat him.
‘Do you know?’
Know the identity of the player.
‘Do you know Long Toss?’
His nickname is Longtoss!
Like his nickname, he was a player who boasted an extraordinary range.
At the same time, he was a star player.
A star who has already secured her own style and fan base in the AAA guild, one of the top 10 guilds, and received sufficient support as well as the wealth and honor to match it!
A star player like that looks at himself like that?
Then, what would happen if such a talented person and Midas got on the raft together?
Imagining that, Midas smiled.
And seeing that smile, Asio’s eyes turned sharper.
Seeing those eyes, Midas was convinced.
‘As expected, I’m lucky!’
7.
“BJ Grand Mage rides a raft with AAA Guild!”
Park Young-joon was surprised by the breaking news from his subordinate.
“AAA Guild? Maybe with Long Toss?”
“Yes, Longtoss.”
At that moment, Park Young-joon was surprised and a subordinate asked a question.
“Do you know Ashio?”
“You know the name, of course. No matter what, he is a star player who even recorded 10 million viewers at some point. The problem is with the relationship with BJ the Great Mage.”
At Park Young-joon’s words that followed, all the employees looked at Park Young-joon.
What kind of story is there behind it? with a questioning gaze.
Park Young-joon said to such subordinates.
“I have asked for it several times. Almost every day that I want to broadcast with BJ Daemado Love once.”
“Every day?”
“If you exaggerate, that much.”
Someone as strong as Longtoss Asio repeatedly requests that he want to broadcast with BJ Grand Mage?
Then there was only one thing that came to mind.
“Looks like you want to have a proper match.”
Let’s make a life and death decision!
To the employees who came up with such a thing, Park Young-joon huh? With a smile on his face, he shook his head and said.
“No, it’s not a confrontation.”
“Yes? Then…. .
“Because he is a big fan of BJ Grand Mage, he really likes extras, so he wants to broadcast with them just once.”
“ah!”
Only then did Park Young-joon smile and say in front of the surprised employees who learned the English language.
“It looks like BJ Grand Mage is really trying to put on a one-man show.”
