BJ Grand Mage-Episode 17
17fury. Episode 6. Let's try it! (1).
1.
There is more diverse content in God Wars than people think..
It was never just about leveling up..
Obtaining runes through achieving achievements was the proof..
We hope that players can enjoy the entire world of God Wars in more and more diverse ways. Rune was a system for those who enjoy every corner of the game..
Of course, there is not a single game in the world that runs as the game developer intended..
There wasn't much content for God Wars players to enjoy..
Of all these, flowers were a skill..
Just as butterflies and bees gather intoxicated by the scent of flowers, many of God Wars players played God Wars because they fell in love with the fact that they could use skills..
Then some people ask questions.
If the flower of God Wars is a skill, then what is the boss monster raid, the best content in God Wars??
Midas was able to answer clearly..
‘The boss monster raid is stellar..’
It's like the stars in the sky.
‘A star that everyone can see, but only a few can reach.’
Countless people can see and enjoy it to their heart’s content, but only those who choose can reach the reality..
‘Flowers and stars are similar but completely different.’
That was the difference between a flower and a star.
Anyone can touch and smell a flower, but isn't that true of stars??
‘at all.’
The boss monster raid was that difficult..
First of all, the number of boss monsters that appeared was too small compared to the number of players enjoying God Wars..
It's almost ridiculous to talk about competition rates..
At the same time, the cutoff line was too high..
God Wars is a game with such high difficulty that even hunting ordinary monsters is not easy, and the boss monster raid was the most difficult content in God Wars..
‘The value is also different.’
Of course, the most crucial part was that the amount of money at stake was different..
The price of rare or unique items in God Wars was more expensive than the general public thought..
It is common for unique level 10 or 20 items that are not game-ending items to easily sell for millions..
What is the value of a legendary grade item? The calculation itself is meaningless. Depending on the situation, the price of a car, or even a so-called expensive sports car, came and went..
‘To a different level.’
However, the amount of money moved by boss monster raids was on a different level..
5 billion people watching and enjoying God Wars, if I could get just 100 won from each of them?
The boss monster raid was capable of that..
‘10This is why the best among the major guilds is the Abyss Guild..’
That was the reason why Abyss Guild, which is evaluated as the best in boss monster raids, was selected as the best guild among the top 10 guilds..
When the Abyss Guild's tier 1 team and highest level team do a boss monster raid, the average number of viewers exceeds 700 million..
If you combine the costs paid by viewers, viewer donations, advertising costs, and sponsor costs, an astronomical amount of money was exchanged for that one raid..
‘Just reporting on boss monsters is good..’
For such a valuable boss monster, you could make money just by reporting its appearance and location..
‘If you're a champion goblin, you'll pay for a capsule room..’
If it's a tip-off fee for a boss monster like a champion goblin, you won't be told about the capsule room fee for the time being..
Reporting wasn’t difficult either..
‘You don't have to worry about finding anything else, just report it to the Explorer's Guild and they will pay the price..’
The Explorer's Guild tended to pay better than expected in this regard..
In fact, from the Explorer's guild's perspective, although not as much as the Abyss guild, it was in a situation where it was earning a considerable amount of income through boss monster raid content..
‘There is nothing like this for the debut of new characters..’
In particular, the champion goblin is the highest level monster that appears in the village of beginning..
For promising players in the guild who have just started playing the game, there was nothing like this as a decoration for their debut stage..
In many ways, it was a business where no one would lose anything..
‘After all, this is why people have to take risks.’
From Midas's perspective, he would pick up a wallet full of money on the way and receive a reward, and the explorer guild would be able to make money from this..
‘Hyerin, my uncle will buy me pork belly today..’
On his way home today, Midas had the idea to buy a heavy chunk of pork belly for his cute nephew..
‘You're lucky.’
A smile naturally appeared on my face..
Heavy rain!
As if to express his agreement with his owner's feelings, Lucky let out a light howl..
It was that moment.
‘unlucky······.’
Lucky's howling stopped Midas from trying to find a way to contact the Explorers' Guild..
Instead, I remembered the scene from before..
Things you have done with Lucky so far.
‘······This is out of line.’
And now their situation.
‘There were no encounters with the player during the hunt. And I have now reduced the goblin population in this field considerably..’
In such a situation, Midas thought.
‘Should I catch this??’
How about capturing the champion goblin yourself??
If I were Midas a few hours ago, I would have scoffed..
Hey, Jeong Hyeon-woo! figure out the topic!
I think I said those things to myself.
But the Midas of today was different..
Now he is no longer the Midas he was when he sold his body for barely a daily wage..
He has a very special job called Grand Mage, has the highest level of stats in his class, and is the owner of a ridiculously small divine beast with Fenrir as his throne..
‘Honestly, this isn't a wallet or anything.?’
Above all, boss monsters do not have owners..
‘It's money without an owner, the one who catches it is the owner..’
Rather, it is just something that everyone should rush to achieve..
When he came to that thought, there was no longer a pleasant smile on Midas' face..
Instead, I started to suffer..
2.
The scenery of the capsule room is always the same..
“What kind of broadcast is this??”
“These days, I'm trying to kill the champion goblin with a party of 3 in the village of beginning..”
“okay? All I can see are three idiots running away.?”
“So you're seeing it..”
“Well, that's right.”
Inside the capsule, people play God Wars, and outside the capsule room, people gather in the lounge to watch God Wars..
The scenery Lee Hyuk-ju has seen has always been like this..
But now something strange has appeared in the scenery..
“Hyunwoo hyung.”
Hyeonwoo Jeong.
For Lee Hyuk-joo, he was a professional player who made money through games, but now he is a pitiful person who has fallen into an abyss..
The person was currently sitting on a sofa prepared for waiting for customers, covering his eyes with a wet towel..
It was not the appearance of someone leading a normal daily life..
“I'm worried about something?”
Hyunwoo Jeong answered that question..
“Yes, there is.”
“What is it?”
“I need about 10 million won..”
In response, Lee Hyuk-ju said with an awkward smile..
“Bro, I don’t have any money. Since I spend all my money on God Wars, I eat the cheapest ramen these days..”
In response to that answer, Jeong Hyeon-woo chuckled and said,.
“don't worry. If I was going to borrow money from you, I wouldn't be sitting on the sofa like this, wetting my eyes with a towel..”
“Brother, I have work to do.······.”
Despite Jung Hyun-woo's answer, Lee Hyuk-ju quickly left the place..
It seems like he was worried that Jung Hyun-woo might actually ask to borrow money..
It was a situation where Lee Hyuk-joo's level of trust in Jeong Hyun-woo could be gauged..
Jeong Hyun-woo didn't really care about Lee Hyuk-ju's appearance like that..
There was no room for that in the first place..
‘Yes, I need 10 million won right now to make my life a little better..’
The worry from a little while ago wasn't just a worry that wasn't in my heart, just to chase after Lee Hyuk-joo..
Now, Jeong Hyeon-woo has living expenses, but he also needs a lump sum..
‘My brother's rehabilitation costs, surgery costs, and our loan. And when Hyerin starts elementary school next year, she should get some tutoring..’
And that's 10 million units of money..
‘If you earn just the living expenses, you'll end up just suffocating on this floor..’
that was the reason.
‘Even if you just sell information and eat pork belly for dinner, it doesn't change the fact that it's a gutter in the end..’
Reason for concern.
‘To make that kind of money, you have to go through boss monster raids..’
The only surefire way to make money in God Wars is through boss monster raids..
You must catch the boss monster to obtain unique items or higher, and you can receive sponsorship income through live broadcasts, etc..
Of course, it wasn't something anyone could do..
A distant task, requiring not only skill but also luck..
Especially in the case of broadcasting, there was no way the results would come out just because Hyunwoo Jeong did it right now..
In order to do a broadcasting business based on God Wars, you have to use Warstube, but this market was already in a state of chaos, not just saturated..
In the past, Midas already knew his subject early on and gave up..
‘It's definitely different now.’
But the current Midas was different..
That was the reason for the worry.
‘If you want to do it, you have to do it now..’
Also, I felt like I wouldn't be able to finish it if I didn't do it here..
‘I can't do it here, but I won't be able to do it later..’
Of course you could think of it this way.
‘Even if you fail, there is no problem selling information.······.’
Even if we fall, we make even money.
If the appearance of the champion goblin was indeed confirmed for the first time, the information could be sold even if Hyunwoo Jeong failed after attempting the raid..
The problem is that in that case, the proposition that Jeong Hyun-woo failed in the hunt and the hypothesis that the game may have been over are inevitably attached..
‘Taking action when you might die is a gamble..’
It was a life-threatening gamble in the game..
‘80Rather than sucking on your finger for hours, it's better not to even try in the first place..’
Jeong Hyun-woo had no intention of taking such a gamble..
‘I don't gamble.’
In other words, what Jeong Hyeon-woo was worried about was not gambling..
‘Do it only when the odds of winning are clear..’
It was a challenge based on certain odds of victory..
That was the reason why Jeong Hyeon-woo was lying on the sofa and covering his eyes with a wet towel..
‘I have to do it like I did when I was a baseball player..’
Just like back then.
Just like when Jeong Hyun-woo prepared to go on stage like this before going on the mound during his days as a professional baseball player,.
And even then, I never once threw the ball with the feeling of gambling..
I always measured the odds and took on the challenge..
‘······Oh, if you do it like back then, you'll be ruined..’
Of course, my results as a professional player were not very good..
But now it was different.
‘The odds of winning are clear..’
I thought I had a chance of winning, so I thought about it, and because I thought about it, I was able to come up with an answer in the end..
‘can do.’
The moment that thought was over, Jeong Hyeon-woo removed the towel covering his eyes and stood up..
‘30 minutes remaining until regeneration.’
After checking the time, Hyunwoo Jeong immediately started eating the candy and ionic drink he had prepared..
it was preparation.
‘Fight in top condition.’
Preparation to bring out 100% of your skills perfectly.
Hyunwoo Jeong even pulled out his trump card..
‘in best condition.’
Jeong Hyun-woo took out the beautifully packaged Cheongsimpi and put it in his mouth..
The Cheongsim pill worth 10,000 won, which he had spent a lot of money on, bought at the pharmacy a little while ago, melted in Jeong Hyun-woo's mouth and went down his throat..
“Ugh!”
‘It kills the effect. I already feel like my heart is quieting down. Of course, 10,000 won is different.’
Immediately I felt as if my heart rate had slowed down..
At that moment, Jeong Hyeon-woo shouted..
“Hyeokju, I’m going in.!”
3.
kkii!
The moment a goblin fell to the ground screaming, a small wolf immediately climbed on top of the goblin's body..
Crrrrr!
Then, it immediately started chewing on the goblin's neck with its teeth like a treasured sword hidden in its cute snout..
Grumble!
The goblin's body fell limp without even making a proper scream..
king!
Lucky, who succeeded in killing the goblin, let out a bright cry towards Midas..
“good job.”
Midas did not spare praise for Lucky..
But the eyes were different.
Midas' eyes showed a very sharp look, and he scanned the surroundings with those eyes..
There was nothing in particular that caught Midas's eyes..
I just see a quiet forest.
‘okay.’
This was the situation Midas had hoped for..
‘This area has been cleaned up..’
The fact that he can't see anything means that there are no monsters around here so far..
‘Variable removal is complete.’
It was the moment when organizing, which can be said to be the most basic condition in creating a stage, was completed..
At that moment, Midas raised his head and saw the blue sky between the branches of the dense forest..
[8 seconds until the champion monster appears]
And I saw the numbers decorating the sky.
The number gradually decreased, and as soon as the number reached 0, Midas' world changed once again..
The world was once dyed red.
‘This is the boss curtain call..’
Now Midas was not surprised by that fact..
‘ah.’
At that time, something new began to appear in the eyes of Midas, who had been unable to see anything..
A large goblin pacing around with a yellow light on its head..
champion goblin!
It was the moment when the most powerful monster that could be encountered in the village of beginning appeared..
At that time, the light on the champion goblin's head turned red..
Evidence of target recognition.
There was no need to worry about what such a target was..
‘As expected from a boss monster, the cognitive range is no joke..’
There was only one target for the champion goblin around here..
After confirming that fact, Midas closed his eyes..
‘I can't believe I can defeat the boss monster alone like this..’
In the past, not that far away, a situation that even a week ago I would not have dared to imagine..
“Phew.”
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous or scared.
Whoa whoa!
Lucky, who had no way of knowing his master's feelings, howled fiercely to signal to his master that a monster was coming and that he should prepare for battle..
“Lucky you.”
At that signal, Midas opened his closed eyes and said.
“Let's bounce!”
Woo... king?
Midas, he started to run away..
