Chapter 355. < Episode 111. Forgotten Lands (1). >
Immediately after BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast, most people in the world focused on BJ Grand Mage.
What performance will he show in the future?
What a wonderful performance you will show.
How awesome Silver will be with the body of the Chimera Dragon.
However, Tier 1 guilds were different.
“The Abyss Guild said they would give you a spot in the 10th guild if you catch BJ Archmage?”
“yes. I said it around, but in fact it is free to interpret it that way.”
“The bounty on BJ’s head has risen to the top 10 guild.”
The moment you catch BJ Grand Mage, you have the opportunity to climb to the highest place in the 10th guild, God Wars.
Upon hearing this, Azmo drank his coffee deeply.
And I was deeply troubled.
This thing was such a huge thing.
“How do you think Tier 1 guilds will come out of this?”
The secretary answered the question right away.
“I would run like crazy. It was the first hole in the ceiling that hadn’t been drilled in nearly five years. Even the Abyss Guild guarantees it, but you have to jump in and see it.”
There was a wall that could not be crossed between the 1st tier guilds and the 10th guild, and the wealth and honor enjoyed over that wall were on a different level.
“Isn’t this an era where even 1st tier guilds can’t predict the future?”
“yes.”
Moreover, recently, the guilds of God Wars were entering an era where boulders were hidden after passing through a period of boom that did not know the end.
It means that it is not an era where subscribers and investors attach to a guild with a little name in God Wars as in the past.
Right away, Heize Guild was the proof.
Proof that the reputation of the past was useless, and that the qualifier of a tier 1 level does not guarantee glory.
Being able to enter the fence of the 10th guild in such a situation was an opportunity that would never come again.
“There will be a war in the Great Tomb.”
Of course, all Tier 1 guilds hunting in the giant tomb will attack for the crown of BJ Grand Mage.
“Already among tier 1 guilds, the most powerful guilds these days are already preparing for war with BJ Archmage in the giant tomb. Our star players are sending love calls or provoking us through SNS or personal broadcasting.”
Moreover, the challengers this time weren’t just tier 1 guilds.
“It will be difficult to compare it to the time of Heize Guild. To be honest, Heize Guild was one of the tier 1 guilds that wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed right away.”
Those who stand out among Tier 1 guilds.
They were not lacking in skills, money, fame, or fandom.
“Right now, there are only two players who recorded 100 million viewers in the giant tomb. There are hundreds of players who hit 10 million.”
Even superstars beyond stars existed, albeit in a very small number.
The real star wars are about to begin.
At that moment, another news came.
“The stock price of Heize Guild has reached its upper limit.”
As one of the other assistants told him, Azmo smiled.
“The fight with BJ Tsushima was ruined like that, and after that, the Survivors Guild gun destroyed the image, but the stock price hit the upper limit?”
“It seems that having a live broadcast with BJ Grand Wizard was a good thing. Anyway, the general opinion is that there is something in common with BJ Daemage, so it was a live broadcast. And I see it as a good thing that I became close with the survivors guild.”
“A good news?”
“Because of the Survivor Guild, the reason to blush with the BJ Archmage is gone. Well, you can see it that way.”
At the secretary’s explanation that followed, Azmo’s laughter turned into a mockery.
“It’s a business that remains even if I’m a catfish against a BJ master mage… … There was no need for the Abyss Guild to encourage this.”
The biggest risk you have to take in the war with BJ the great mage is the penalty you have to bear if you lose.
But now even that penalty has disappeared.
“How will the BJ Grand Mage come out?”
At this point, what makes me curious is the attitude of BJ Grand Mage looking at this situation.
How is he looking at this huge event that has appeared in front of him?
At the secretary’s question, Azmo took a sip of coffee and said.
“If you look at the personality and behavior of BJ Grand Mage…. I could bet my entire fortune on being too excited to sleep.”

“What’s wrong with your face?”
Seeing the color of his younger brother’s face coming out of his room, Jeong Tae-woo stopped drinking coffee and asked a question.
“It seems like you haven’t slept a wink because your already dull face is about to rot.”
Jung Hyun-woo frowned at his older brother’s words.
“No, do I really need to add the metaphor of a dull face? huh?”
“Honestly, isn’t it true that your face is dull? Especially when I came home yesterday, it was the worst. Hyerin was worried when she saw your face. So I told you this.”
“what?”
“It’s not a big deal that it was because my uncle was dumped by a woman. It happens often, and it will happen often in the future, so I’m sure I’ll pick up my energy soon.”
Jung Hyeon-woo did not answer at all.
Without saying a word, he opened the door of the large refrigerator and took out a can of coffee as it is.
Then, he drank his coffee in one gulp and buried himself on the sofa in the spacious living room.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
Then, the trouble that kept Jung Hyeon-woo from falling asleep came to mind.
‘What to do with the Forgotten Land?’
The culprit is none other than the next hunting ground.
In fact, the Forgotten Lands itself was a great opportunity.
If you do a live broadcast with the theme of entering the forgotten land, there will be a hot reaction this time too.
So it was even more troubling.
‘Should I go in alone? Or should I just form a team from the beginning?’
I worry about whether I can properly handle this hot event by myself.
Obviously, the best thing to do is to do it alone.
The problem is risk.
‘If you look at the title reward, it won’t be a joke. It’s much harder than an insurmountable mountain.’
From Jung Hyun-woo’s point of view, the forgotten land was scheduled to have a level of difficulty that was incomparable to any hunting ground he had ever encountered.
It would have been much better to show the appearance of attacking together with other guilds rather than showing a clumsy appearance without being able to do anything properly in such a place.
‘Alone or together.’
That worry kept me awake at night.
‘It’s the easiest and best to go together.’
No, in fact, it was reasonable and stable to enter the Forgotten Land with other guilds or players.
To be honest, although there is a difference in the profit obtained by attacking with others as a solo player, the difference was not huge.
Only regrets remained.
‘There’s no reason to overdo it and play solo anymore, right? I’m not giving anything more for that.’
BJ’s great mage is solo. He has nostalgia for the image he has built up until now.
In fact, if Jung Hyeon-woo was alone, he would not have worried like this.
Even if his head was broken, he would have hit it alone once.
‘I’m not playing games alone.’
However, in a situation where Jung Hyun-woo’s partner, Rising Star Channel, is with him now, he couldn’t do what he wanted.
And that was pro.
‘Let’s take care of reality and practicality like a professional.’
Distinguishing ideals from delusions.
‘We have to deliver it through a meeting with the Rising Star channel. I have something to report.’
Jung Hyeon-woo, who gave the answer after much thought, sent an email to the Rising Star channel on his smartphone and got up from the sofa.
“Are you leaving? You don’t seem to be feeling well today, so why don’t you get some rest?”
Hyeonu Jung looked at his older brother at his worried words.
Only then did Jeong Hyeon-woo know.
“Why don’t you get some sleep? They told me that I was so dull that I was about to die, but it seems like the dark circles have come down to my mouth now.”
His older brother’s complexion as tired as himself.
“Isn’t your company making you work too much? You should take it easy. Money is money, but people should live like people.”
Jung Hyun-woo spat out a short criticism toward the person who made his brother tired, and Jung Tae-woo shrugged his shoulders and replied to the criticism.
“Overtime pay is being deposited in full. These days, I think I work almost 24 hours a day, and I get paid as an allowance. Thanks to this, I think my income will be four times more than I initially expected.”
“Should I buy you some more coffee when you come? Don’t you need some sleep-killing gum?”
Seeing Jung Hyun-woo change his attitude right away, Jung Tae-woo said with a bitter smile.
“Go carefully.”
“okay. My brother works hard too. No, since I said money comes in even if I don’t work, I shouldn’t have a job. Brother, don’t work hard then.”
As soon as the words were finished, Jeong Tae-woo’s smartphone rang, and Jung Tae-woo, who confirmed the contents, went into his room with a coffee.
Tsk.
‘I don’t know who it is, but the bastard who increased his job must have a stomachache and diarrhea today.’
After the curse, Jung Hyeon-woo also went out of the house.
3.
[Wharton logged in.]
As soon as he saw the president’s ID on the chat window, Midas held his breath briefly.
In that state, I cast a spell on myself.
‘You can tell me what you have prepared. Don’t be nervous.’
However, in the world, there is no employee who is not nervous in front of the boss.
The words I prepared just lingered in my head and did not come out of my mouth easily.
[Wharton: Long time no see.]
[Wharton: The last Chimera Dragon Raid was great.]
In the end, it was the president of Rising Star Channel who opened the conversation again this time.
“Yeah thanks for doing a really great live broadcast.”
‘Oh, this asshole. Wake.’
Midas, who blamed himself for the fact and had a hard time planting, soon caught his breath again and prepared.
‘I found a new continent in the forgotten land this time, but it seems difficult to conquer alone, so let’s say, ‘Find someone to join you.’
say what you’re going to say
“Whoa.
The moment Midas, who had finished arranging himself, let out his breath before speaking.
[Wharton: I received the Flame Dragon Skill Card, which was an additional reward for this solo play.]
The word Flame Dragon Skill Card that appeared in the chat at that moment instantly turned Midas’ mind into blank pages.
Of course, the prepared comment was no longer in my head.
‘what?’
As if he forgot to even make a face, he just stared at the chat window with an expressionless expression.
‘wait for a sec.’
Eventually, after understanding the situation, the first thing that came to Midas’ mind was none other than a question.
‘how?’
It is impossible for Midas to not know that the value of the Flame Dragon skill is enormous.
But now that amazing guy was given as a solo play reward instead of anything else?
It’s like getting a Rolex watch as a reward for your hard work.
It was a part that was completely incomprehensible with the concept of Midas.
‘oh my god.’
Because of this, Midas skipped understanding and moved on to admiration.
‘How great is your sales force to accept this? crazy crazy crazy My boss is really crazy.’
Admiration for the ability of the Rising Star Channel President who received the Flame Dragon skill card on the condition that he only play solo.
‘No wait.’
After that admiration, the emotion continued.
‘That means that the Rising Star Channel didn’t eat anything, right?’
Originally, that additional reward was what I wanted to receive to take care of the Rising Star channel.
However, the Rising Star Channel used it for Midas instead of writing it for themselves.
There was a high possibility that the Rising Star channel suffered losses in other areas in order to obtain this.
Of course, even taking that into account, the huge reward for what I did didn’t change.
Then a new chat came up.
[Wharton: As you well know, love calls are pouring in from tier 1 guilds these days.]
[Wharton: Star players belonging to tier 1 guilds are also looking for a matchup through personal broadcasting.]
[Wharton: Red hair and Medusa . I also wished for a match-up with BJ Grand Mage in a personal broadcast.]
As soon as he saw the last chat, Midas shut his mouth.
Red hair and Medusa.
Both were superstars who had recorded 100 million viewers through live broadcasts on personal channels.
It’s not even the twinkling stars, but the stars who became stars early on from the beginning of God Wars, who have been steadily enjoying popularity from the early days until now.
Of course, in terms of numbers, he was lower than Midas now.
‘They said they wanted to stick with me on a personal broadcast? An open love call?’
But to Midas, they were like distant stars.
That such a star goes beyond just expressing interest, and now shows courtship as an event partner.
“Everyone seems to have liked the event match with Heize Guild.”
‘Wow, I’m really glad I got to hold an event with the Heize Guild. I never thought this would be such a hit!’
Of course, Midas had no choice but to think that the occasion was an event match with Heize Guild.
‘It’s the same with being given solo conditions.’
It’s not just that, it’s thanks to the solo play.
[Wharton: Thanks to BJ Archmage, the stock price of Heize Guild has risen.]
[Wharton: It’s strange if you don’t feel good after seeing that. We are only accepting proposals right now.]
[Wharton: Do you have a method you want?]
So, the moment the question came up, Midas answered without hesitation.
“The method will depend on the situation, but one thing will remain unchanged. BJ Daemage only walks a single path solo.
If this level of merit is guaranteed, it is natural to take the risk of playing solo.
No, it wasn’t tolerable.
‘Unconditionally solo. Even if you die when you die, you die solo. Picking mulberries.’
Flame Dragon came in as a solo play condition, but there is nothing to see.
[Wharton: I know.]
[Wharton: Do you have any future plans?]
Midas answered the question that followed.
“I want to deal with all the customers who want love calls, but I think it will be difficult because I have one body.
[Wharton: You want an auction method.]
“Yes. And if it’s an auction, you’ll need a proper showcase of what condition the auction items are in.”
[Wharton: You’re going to do a live broadcast. For the showcase.]
“Yes, of course I will do it solo. BJ Grand Mage is the only way to go solo.”
More confident than ever.
4.
– Because BJ Daemage is a solo artist.
Hearing that he would once again broadcast a solo play live, Park Young-joon was not surprised.
“Yes, then please contact me when the schedule is set later.”
‘As expected.’
Rather, he had this situation pictured in his head.
War is now inevitable.
If so, the thought had to go to a way that could create a better profit somehow, rather than avoiding it.
In that sense, the current position of the BJ archmage wasn’t all that bad.
Now, his ransom is really out of common sense.
As a result, Tier 1 guilds were now competing with each other over the BJ Grand Mage.
Now, BJ Grand Mage sprinkled seasoning to instigate that competition.
‘If I set the conditions for solo play once more, my body will inevitably heat up even more.’
BJ Grand Mage, who works with the Survivors Guild, is burdensome even for a 1st tier guild, but BJ Grand Mage, who works alone, is worth trying.
‘In the end, there is only one winner.’
Above all, in this competition, there was only one person who could eventually get out of the tier 1 guild and wear the crown.
‘There’s no way losers can tolerate a winner coming out nicely.’
In other words, the rest will try to kill that one person.
When he reached that point, Park Young-joon smiled.
‘As expected, he knows how to make a version of BJ Grand Mage.’
Now, what Park Young-joon had to do was to collect and deal with those who were disappointed in the board made by BJ Grand Mage.
‘Then, shall we try a power struggle?’
