Chapter 94. < Episode 30. Don't stop me now (1). >
1.
Someone said.
You can say you’re a star only when the fans’ interest and autograph requests start to annoy you.
From that point of view, Midas was not enough to be called a star.
“BJ Grand Mage, please take a selfie!”
“I saw it live! It was so cool!”
“next! next! next!”
What waited for Midas at West Castle, where he arrived after a long time had passed after the confrontation with Abat, was, as I said before, the interest and autograph requests from so many people that it annoyed me.
Midas, of course, was not annoyed by that.
“Now take your turn. I’m not going anywhere I’ll take pictures of everything!”
Rather, Midas smiled as he looked at the players lined up in front of him.
That smile deepened after he checked the line in front of Lucky next to him.
‘I won.’
A smile about the fact that there are more people in their line.
“There are so many people trying to film Lucky, so let’s stand in groups of three! If we did it one by one, it would take all day!”
“There are a lot of gold ones, so let’s take 3 of them!”
“The line for BJ Grand Mage is also long. Shall we take three people each?”
“No, if we take three people at a time, there will be time anyway, so you can take one at a time!”
“Oh, I see.”
However, Midas, who soon grasped the situation through the words of the players, waved a smile on his lips.
king!
Lucky barked, perhaps knowing that, poised more proudly than ever.
Seeing this, Midas laughed.
However, that laugh soon turned into a bright smile.
‘I never thought a day like this would come in my life.’
I’ve never had a day like this before, even in my dreams.
Rather, what made Midas difficult at this moment was to endure the overflowing joy.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy. I’m really happy to die like this.’
It was now difficult for me to hold back the sincere joy, not just a joke.
Get out of the way!
Fortunately, a savior appeared to Midas.
“It’s an NPC!”
“I came to meet the BJ Archmage!
Zagara and his knights brought Midas to him.
2.
[Enter the eastern watchtower.]
The eastern watchtower, which can only be entered by those who have completed the main scenario quest, Midas raised his hands above his head as soon as he heard the notification that he had come to his own world.
Then, with all his might, he began to vomit what he had been holding back with all his might.
“Wow!”
cheered up
Then, after Midas grabbed Lucky’s paws, he danced and said,
“You did it! I did it!”
king! king!
I don’t know why, but to the joy of the owner, Lucky also raised his snout to the sky and vomited joy.
Heying!
Gold, as if not to lose to him, raised his paws high and let out a centaur-like cry.
maddened cheers.
“Fuck I did it! Hyunwoo Jung! You did it!”
However, from Midas’ point of view, it was a very natural cheer.
The confrontation itself was one-sided.
But that opponent was by no means an ordinary existence.
“I beat a 1-tier guild prospect 1-1!”
Scarf Guild A tier 1 guild that could be in the top 100 if you collect all the guilds in God Wars.
Abat was the best prospect with full support from the Scarf Guild.
Beings with different innate talents, different luck, different abilities, different halos and different powers.
A person whose success is already guaranteed with just the talent he has.
Against such a player, Midas created the best picture he could show.
That’s why the symbol it had was bigger.
“Now all the bastards in Tunga Kingdom are gone.”
From now on, players playing in Tunga Kingdom and players below level 100 will not be able to challenge Midas head-on.
No, it wasn’t easy to even challenge in a group.
Because that’s selling the side in a slang word.
In other words, even if they approach in a group, there will of course not be cases where they openly reveal their identity.
‘Cover your face. I’ll let you sell the dog side, not just the side.’
However, from the perspective of Midas, who had the eyes to know their identity, such a class was rather welcome.
In fact, players who can touch Midas in Tunga Kingdom have disappeared.
Midas began to express his joy at this fact not only by cheering but also by dancing.
Whoa!
With Lucky’s howling in the background, Midas began twitching his hips and shoulders like a man at a nightclub.
“Whoa!”
Truly shit.
The one who put an end to the scene was NPC Zagara.
“Hemm.
”
The sound stopped Midas from dancing, and the NPC Zagara spoke in a loud voice to Midas.
“Did you find out anything about the unknown?”
Only then did Midas stiffen his expression as if he had come to his senses.
Whoa!
Heying!
On the other hand, Lucky and Gold raised their cries as if competing with each other.
“Shh shh!
After quieting the two, Midas stood in front of NPC Zagara.
Then, with a serious expression on his face that made the scene from a moment ago colorless, he took out a quest item from his inventory and handed it to the NPC Zagara.
[I gave you the traces of an unknown person.]
What you handed over was nothing but a black lump.
A lump that feels like a lump of coal.
“I looked for an unknown person, but I was able to find only this trace because he was so quick.”
The NPC Zagara who received it examined the coal and shook her head.
“I literally don’t know who he is.”
It was then.
through!
The necklace hanging around Midas’ neck suddenly moved towards the NPC Zagara like a ferocious snake.
“uh? uh!”
Surprised by that fact, Midas reflexively grabbed my necklace.
“Holy Lord!”
At the same time, the knights behind NPC Zagara scrambled to move toward NPC Zagara.
It seems that the necklace was memorized.
However, towards the approaching knights, NPC Zagara raised her hand and gestured to stop.
In that state, the NPC Zagara stared intently at the necklace, to be exact, the pendant.
Swoop!
Even in the hands of Midas, the necklace was still showing an angry spirit.
It was such an angry spirit that I felt that if I continued like this, the string would break.
In front of such a necklace pendant, NPC Zagara held out the palm holding the trace of the unknown person.
Then, as I moved my palm left and right, the pendant began to move accordingly.
Seeing this, NPC Zagara’s eyes shone.
Who made that necklace?”
“This is Dwarf Zuga.”
“Zuga.
The NPC Zagara nodded and spoke soon.
“Anyway, this matter seems to have left my hands. I guess you’ll have to figure it out.”
[The quest has been completed.]
[The level has risen.]
Along with those words, the NPC Zagara handed over the traces of the unknown person he was holding in his hand to Midas.
Then I started to remove the ring I was wearing on my hand.
“All I want is one thing.”
The NPC Zagara, who held the removed ring in her hand, held out her fist toward Midas and said,
“To remove the danger that threatens our kingdom. For that, I don’t care what you do. would you please?”
To that question, Midas answered without hesitation.
“yes.
[A new quest has been created in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
In response, NPC Zagara opened her clenched palm.
Then, a ring in the shape of a snake biting its tail caught my eye.
“If you have this, you will be able to receive help from the kingdom anywhere in the Tunga Kingdom.”
NPC Zagara then gave a detailed explanation of the ring.
But Midas heard no such explanation.
[Zagara’s Ring]

!All stats +50 when King Tunga’s ring is equipped
!Attack power +15 when King Tunga’s ring is equipped
!Casting speed +10% when King Tunga’s ring is
equipped ‘My God.’
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in front of Zagara’s ring, which had so many item options that it was hard to even check the options.
Moreover, it was a hidden option that surprised Midas.
In other words, the fact that there is a hidden option means that the opportunity to obtain the ring comes as you progress through the quest.
‘The ring of King Tunga?’
That meant that there was a possibility that Midas would have a chance to get the ring of King Tunga.
Of course, Midas didn’t know what kind of item King Tunga’s ring was.
But isn’t that the king’s ring?
There is no reason to worry about item options.
‘As expected, it’s a god game.’
Midas smiled and accepted Zaraga’s ring.
“I will absolutely take care of it.”
‘I will do it unconditionally even for the sake of King Tunga’s ring!’
Then he checked the quest with more greedy eyes than ever.

.
‘Stone tree forest.’
At that, Midas smiled as hard as he could without hesitation.
‘Most of the cubs who came to catch me were leveling up here.’
Because there was nothing harsh about him now.
‘I won’t play a big game.’
3.
About an hour after BJ Grand Mage’s live ended.
The Rising Star Channel office was still busy with the BJ Grand Wizard case.
It wasn’t strange.
As always, the hardest thing to do was to take care of the work.
But no one was annoyed by the aftermath.
“A peak of 389,000 viewers.”
“The number of subscribers also increased by a whopping 110,000. It’s maxed out!”
“It was a hit.”
On the contrary, admiration and cheers came out from all over the place every time they cleaned up.
In the end, Park Young-joon also said.
“amazing.”
The subordinate quickly received the words.
“Yes, that was great!”
“The force was really great. Even if this was made into a video, it would easily get 3 million views.”
“What is three million? I’m sure it will exceed 10 million if we do this well!”
The eyes of such subordinates were more excited than ever.
It was the right color.
Because what they saw today was Starsung.
It must be strange if you don’t get excited when you see the star star you’ve been waiting for so long.
“I’m not saying that.”
But that wasn’t what made Park Young-joon smile.
“Because I already knew that. That’s why I asked for a PK while purchasing the moving casting skill. Today’s painting was in the category I expected. Great, but no reason to be surprised.”
Park Young-joon, who was talking, said after taking a sip of the cola can on the desk.
“However, the appearance of BJ Grand Mage after the PK ended was beyond my expectations.”
At those words, everyone remembered the image of the BJ Archmage.
“A lot of room is overflowing in a situation where quite a few star players cheer and normal players would have danced.”
After drawing a picture that would give goosebumps, BJ’s great mage took a leisurely selfie time with the players.
“Are you sure.”
The moment he recalled that image, Park Young-joon could now be sure.
“BJ Grand Mage is either a star player or has gone through something similar.”
BJ Grand Mage has a splendid history.
“However, there is no way to give up on that, develop a new character, and make this kind of investment without any certainty.”
And even with such a history, there are strong reasons to be willing to give up and start over from obscurity.
It was then.
“I got an email from BJ Grand Mage.”
At the cry of one of the subordinates, all the gazes of the audience were planted there, and the subordinate continued to speak in those gazes.
“The next hunting ground is called the Stone Tree Forest. They say they want to do a hunting broadcast there.”
The moment I heard the story, laughter came out from the audience.
“Isn’t the stone tree forest the main hunting ground for the kids who came to catch the BJ master mage?”
“He’s saying he’s going to play a game in the territory of the guys he’s targeting.”
“It will be worth seeing.”
“Of course this will also be broadcast live, right?”
Park Young-joon did not answer the last question.
Instead, he took out his smartphone from his pocket.
At the sight, everyone tilted their heads.
Because Park Young-joon’s usual smartphone was already on his desk.
Eventually, one of his subordinates asked a question.
“What phone is that?”
“A phone for larger places only.”
“Is it a big place?”
With that, a subordinate quickly asked a question to Park Young-joon, who dialed the number and brought the phone to his ear.
“What do you mean by big place?”
The call started with that question, and Park Young-joon covered his mouth with his index finger instead of answering.
Shh!
Park Young-joon, who took that gesture, immediately started talking.
“long time no see! Oh, you saw the live? Then it would be more comfortable to talk.”
With that, Park Young-joon pointed at the coke can placed on the desk with the index finger he had covered his mouth with.
that was the answer
“How much did you talk about advertising costs?”
The answer to your subordinates’ question of what is the big one.
