Chapter 389. < Episode 122. Bounty Race (2). >
5.
In any race, the real game begins only when there is a candidate to win.
The $7.77 million bounty race was no different.
– The All-Star team is here!
It was only after the All-Star team arrived that the Jung-gu Heating situation began to be sorted out like a race.
– Then the all-star team will come. Why don’t you make the rules clearer?
The first thing to sort out was the rules.
BJ Grand Mage said in front of a flood of questions.
“The rules? Keep it simple. The way to collect the most white crocus leather that comes out when you catch a mutant crocus. Since each one comes out one by one, there is nothing more certain than this, right?”
Whoever collects the most hides takes $7.77 million!
That was it.
“How do you make a deal? Wouldn’t it be better to just combine to trade? I’m trying to get a bounty anyway.
Whether it was making a deal or merging a group, the method of gathering was good.
– Isn’t this too limiting? Aren’t you going to try to merge with each other later?
ㄴ Isn’t it strange if you’re prepared to reduce the bounty that comes to your share?
b What is the deal?
ㄴ The bounty is 7.77 million dollars, but if you trade, the seller will ask for a ridiculous amount?
And no one raised any questions or complaints about that method.
– How are you? The person who organized it set a condition like that. Can you not twist it?
If the person who opened the event said yes, what complaint would you make?
All I can do is prepare to race under these conditions.
– Breaking news! 10 Guild Alliances!
– The all-star team has expanded its members! He picked more people from his guild and brought them in!
-Now the basic unit for a party is 200 instead of 100.
The preparation was nothing other than inflating the body.
Because the best thing about unlimited weight competitions was to go high enough to be able to raise the weight class.
That was it.
Now, the size of the guilds is about to go beyond 200 to 300 units.
– uh? Sounds like a big hit?
b What else?
b I don’t think it happens.
b what? BJ Grand Mage’s girlfriend? Of course that doesn’t happen, right?
Around that time, a new rule of the race appeared.
– No, not that, Regen.
b Regen?
ㄴ There is no mutant crocus! I can’t regen!
ㄴ Oh my God, wasn’t this a zero-sum game, not just a game of catching a lot?
Catch as many as you can within the limited number.
6.
“Are you sure? It’s not that the regen time is late, isn’t it?”
At Soser’s question, Gord turned his head and looked back at the crowd before speaking.
If the regeneration time of the variant crocus is not 2 nights and 3 days, it would be correct to say that regeneration is not possible.
In response to God’s answer, each of the All-Star team members, including Soser, now numbered 169, wrinkled their faces.
It was because I knew.
“This isn’t a mutant crocus, it’s going to catch players?”
As Soser said, under these conditions, PK is bound to happen.
It wasn’t even a difficult problem.
“Well, when playing a zero-sum game, there is no surer way than eliminating competitors.”
When it comes to fighting for limited resources, there’s always only one best way.
“Among the kids who come here, there aren’t many good ones.”
Moreover, most of the guilds that came to the White Desert now had a bad relationship.
In the first place, until the arrival of BJ the Great Mage, the relationship had been a competition of grabbing each other in the Black Desert.
Since the level was in the double digits, the relationship has been constantly competing on the same stage at the same speed.
If it wasn’t for the huge rice cake called BJ Grand Mage, it was a relationship that was just enemies rather than rivals who couldn’t easily get their hands on each other.
But now the plate has been opened to them.
It’s okay to fight a war that kills each other.
“If we fight and win here, $7.77 million is also a dollar, so it will be possible to clear the ranks for sure.”
And now there is a board that can put an end to this long rivalry and rank it.
“So what are you going to do?”
Naturally, it’s time for the All-Star team to come up with a new strategy to fit this new edition.
In front of that fact, God, the leader of the All-Star team, spoke right away without thinking too long.
“It is often said. The game isn’t about beating the opponent, it’s about pissing them off.”
“Is it annoying?”
“We didn’t come here to win the $7.77 million prize. Now, there are already close to 200 participants, and if we split the prize money of 7.77 million dollars, it would be about 40,000 dollars for each two. Who would die right away without it? Raise your hand if you have I’ll lend it to you right away, interest-free.”
No one raised a hand at God’s words.
“Then why are you here, not money? It’s simple, right? To fuck the BJ Grand Mage. To piss him off.”
No one questioned what followed.
“If you approach it from that perspective, the story is simple. What BJ Grand Mage wants is already out. He catches as many monsters as he wants while biting and tearing each other in the tier 1 guild. What makes such a BJ Grand Mage angry is that the 1st tier guilds bite and suck each other to dry the monsters that the BJ Grand Mage will catch.”
“Tell me briefly how.”
“In the White Desert right now, there are three places including us that can be said to be candidates for the championship, right? It’s delivered to the two places other than us. I’m going to give the white skin of the crocus we have to the one who caught the most. Take both the trophy and prize money. So, let’s try hunting hard together.”
Gord, who had finished his explanation, looked at the crowd.
“If you have other good strategies or ideas, let me know.”
At the same time, to God’s question, the audience gave the clearest answer, silence, and God laughed at that fact.
“Now then, let’s work harder and stop the monsters here!”
7.
Second day after bounty race starts.
– weird. Why is everyone working so hard on hunting?
Surprisingly, the bounty race proceeded without major conflicts.
– It looks like there will be a PK war right now, but are you just focusing on hunting?
ㄴ Was the story about not being able to regen a lie?
Regen doesn’t work The moment everyone heard the news, the thought that everyone had thrown fire into the gunpowder was overshadowed.
– So the hunting speed is very fast, but I don’t see any sense of urgency.
ㄴ It just feels like working hard.
The tension and urgency was also not what people had imagined.
only one.
– Only BJ Grand Mage is annoying.
ㄴ It’s not just a hard game, but it’s the worst game ever?
Only BJ Grand Mage was playing the game desperately, showing more tension than ever before.
It wasn’t just the mood.
– The potion price is not a joke. If it continues like this, it is expected to spend 7.77 million dollars on potions.
ㄴ Also, the content of the live broadcast itself is different from usual. Almost no comments.
ㄴ He only focused on the real hunt.
ㄴ Crucially, I never used physical magic.
ㄴ Oh my God, you didn’t use physical magic? Even with the Dragon Slayer Sword? Does that mean you’re really doing it right?
To the extent that everyone who watched the live broadcast acknowledged it.
And as they could see, Midas was playing the game more desperately than ever.
‘shit! Why is everyone working so hard!’
Even so, the hunting speed of the other players was beyond Midas’ imagination.
‘Slow down, slow down! Do some PKing!’
Also, it was beyond Midas’ imagination that he would actively do this.
‘Damn it, I can’t quit here because of the potions I’ve spent so far… … .’
Not to mention, Midas, who had already invested quite a bit, did not dare to imagine the word stop loss here.
Even if it’s a waste of writing, I just run to the end.
‘The difference between the No. 1 group and the 200 dogs… … .’
Fortunately, the number of mutant crocuses currently caught by the first place group is expected to be about 700, and the number caught by Midas is about 500.
It was obviously a big difference, but it wasn’t so far away that I couldn’t catch up forever.
‘It’s definitely possible if I catch the guys hiding everywhere.’
No matter what, Midas’ eyes could see the ones who were hiding in the depths and the ones who missed them.
It means that if you go out to deal with the last remnant, you can aim for a reversal.
In many ways, Midas had no choice but to come out even more desperately.
[You have killed the mutant crocus.]
[Your level has risen]
[You have reached level 330] [
The dragon only for war gives you a new chance.]
did not tilt
“silver!”
“yes.
“master!”
“Go to the next point!”
It only increases the hunting speed while saving time to receive the level up reward.
“Lucky Gold! I’m going to increase the pace, can I?”
king!
“Don’t ask if you can do it, just tell them to do it!”
Then he asked Lucky and Gold to face up.
‘It’s not time to play skill cards. I have to catch at least one more during this time.’
And I whipped myself once more.
‘Can’t miss $7.77 million!’
Viewers also rolled their tongues at the sight.
– Wow, I really don’t take a break.
– I really want to tell Lucky and Gold not to bully you, but I can’t today.
– I don’t think I can play BJ Grand Mage today?
b That’s not it. If you could do this, you would have been able to do it normally, right? I’ve been doing crap all this time.
b huh? Is that so?
ㄴ He is also really fast. Compared to the current three major powers, even if you are pushed behind, your pace will not fall, right?
Even if you do this and that, isn’t it solo play?
It’s hard to believe that such a solo player would follow a group of 300 units and even 1st tier guilds as if they were a tail.
– So, isn’t BJ Grand Mage really getting a bounty?
That was the moment.
[The 10,000th mutant Crocus has been hunted.]
A notification sounded in Midas’ ears.
– uh? I heard something came out with a full notification now?
– Something floated!
A notification that reaches not only Midas, but everyone hunting in the White Desert.
[Hunted all variant crocuses in the White Desert.]
– They said they hunted them all!
– Is that over?
Viewers reacted in surprise when they heard the notification announcing that the bounty race was over.
And Midas sat down on the ground as it was.
king?
“master?”
Surprised by that appearance, Lucky and Gold hurriedly headed towards Midas.
– uh? What else is this?
– Why is BJ Grand Mage like this?
– It looks like something’s wrong?
And viewers’ attention also turned to Midas.
However, in such a situation, Midas couldn’t manage his expression or emotions, and he just made a stunned expression.
‘no.’
Then Midas denied the reality and said to himself.
‘It can’t end like this.’
that it may not be over yet.
‘I can’t have my bounty stolen like this!’
It ain’t over ’til it’s over
[Quest conditions have been completed.]
However, as soon as he heard a notification that only Midas could hear, Midas’ expression changed once again.
– what? Are you going to cry right now?
It looks like it was dumped by a girlfriend.
ㄴLet’s not make such a strange analogy against BJ Grand Mage.
He had a crying expression on his face that would have left him shedding tears if it had been real, not a game.
And the moment I saw that expression, some were convinced.
8.
“You failed.”
After checking BJ Grand Mage’s expression on the screen, Merlin immediately looked at the glass on the table in his hand.
The glass he could see was a wine glass, not his usual coffee cup.
It was also wine, not coffee.
“I never thought I would fall into a pit like this.”
It was a kind of celebratory note to celebrate the failure of BJ Grand Mage.
Merlin opened the celebratory bottle.
“It’s rewarding to pick an expensive guy, isn’t it?”
Then he turned his head and saw Emma and the wine glass in front of her.
“You’re worth it.”
Merlin even poured wine into her wine glass and talked together.
“More than that, Gord is a really great guy. If it hadn’t been for this incident, it would have been the Big Family Guild to occupy a spot in the top 10 guilds.”
“Your skills are mediocre, but you have come this far only with your skills as a guild master.”
“Still, I can’t believe there were such a number…. I would never have thought of giving up bounties and trophies and catching the BJ Archmage instead.”
At Merlin’s words, Emma smiled lightly.
I didn’t expect that she would come up with a number that matched the number of the BJ archmage so quickly.
So she thought.
“I think it would be better to delegate the BJ Archmage to Gord.”
Let’s mark Gord as the BJ Great Mage.
“Delegate?”
“You can’t catch the BJ Archmage once and finish it, right?”
While she was talking, she turned her head and continued talking while looking at the expression of BJ Grand Mage on the screen.
“You’re not trying to stop watching BJ Grand Mage cry just once, right?”
“No way.”
Merlin turned his head at the question and said with a smile, now holding a half-full wine glass in his hand.
“You have to watch it over and over again. forever and ever.”
While drinking wine with those words, the BJ great mage on the screen said.
– In the end, I lost this bounty race. The difference is so obvious that you don’t have to count it.
After that, BJ Grand Mage, who looked as if she had lost her country once more, spoke.
– I’m sorry to see even the faces of the Rising Star Channel staff and viewers. Today’s ex is not a BJ master mage, it’s just… … was a player. player.
After that comment, the silent BJ Grand Mage.
Seeing him like that, Merlin put down his wine glass and picked up his smartphone, and Emma asked a question.
“What are you trying to do?”
“What are you doing?”
Merlin answered the question.
“I’m trying to tease you with a sponsored chat.”
After a while, a sponsor chat notification popped up on BJ Grand Mage’s live broadcast.
[Merlin donated $10,281.]
[Merlin: Don’t be too discouraged, good days will come.]
Seeing this, Merlin smiled broadly and picked up his smartphone again.
– Thank you very much Merlin.
And to Merlin’s words, BJ Archmage answered.
– That’s right, like Merlin-sama said, there must be a good day. Well, now that I’ve completed the quest, I’ll move on to the next quest. I’ll show you in good shape in the next quest.
