BJ Grand Mage-Episode 58
58fury.
1.
A Lizard Warrior with completely different weapons than ordinary Lizardmen..
Such a Lizard Warrior slashed the skin of the Lizardman he was facing with a scimitar in his hand..
Sigh!
The Lizardman's skin was cut with a sharp sound..
sha!
In response to the attack, the Lizardman let out a scream and began to struggle..
I started pounding my body with my weaponless body..
The Lizard Warrior blocked the Lizardman's attack with the shield in his left hand..
bang!
The Lizardman's body hit the shield..
Wow!
And so the power struggle between the two lizardmen in front of the shield began..
It was a very short contest..
kkii.......
The Lizardman holding the shield unilaterally overwhelmed the bare-body Lizardman, and the fight ended in just a few seconds..
sha!
The lizardman, exhausted by his strength, was thrown backwards..
But there was no backing down..
The muddy swamp caught the Lizardman's legs, and the Lizardman fell backwards with his ankles caught..
fluttering!
It looked and sounded painful.
deeply!
After that, there was a creepy sound..
[Killed a Lizardman.]
Midas, who was watching the scene nearby, quickly measured the time in his head..
‘The average time it takes to catch a Lizardman with all buffs applied is 3 minutes and 33 seconds..’
Midas, the first thing he did when he checked the loyalty system was to collect the combat power data of the guardian Gold..
It was for comparison.
‘How beneficial is loyalty??’
To find out what the stats and combat ability advantage are when loyalty goes from level 9 to level 8..
‘Well, it's still not bad.’
What was clear was that even in this state, Gold's combat power was sufficient..
Of course, we had to take into account that Gold is now wearing the Slayer Orc set, is holding the Lizard Warrior's scimitar that Midas purchased with a large amount of money as a weapon, and has received two buffs, Haste and Strength, but even so, he can easily defeat monsters. It was a big deal to catch it. Better than an average player.
“We have crushed the enemy threatening our master..”
“yes, good job.”
Moreover, this loyalty was something that could not be seen or expected from the player..
But on the other hand, that was all there was to it..
‘The level of specs is overwhelming, just like a semi-professional player..’
semi-professional player.
It's a bit disappointing to be able to earn a living simply based on skill alone..
If you invested, you would get results just in proportion to the investment..
‘Compared to Lucky……'
Even professional players and star players could not compare to Lucky, who could send shivers down the spine if his spec was the same level..
Of course, that didn't mean it was bad..
‘Well, at this level, you should carry it on your back..’
Wasn’t what you wanted from the Guardian in the first place to be a tank so that Lucky could run wild??
3To put it in extreme terms, fighting for 33 minutes means giving Lucky time to run wild for 3 minutes and 33 seconds..
“It's gold.”
“Yes, master.”
“This time, just block until I attack. Understand?”
“yes!"
Therefore, Midas did not have high expectations..
‘Okay, this is enough..’
2.
33Holding on for a minute wasn't a particularly difficult task..
sha!
All you had to do was lure a lizardman to a reasonably remote location and spend 33 minutes there. From Midas’s perspective, there was nothing to do..
thud!
The only one working hard is Gold carrying the shield, Midas and Lucky just had to link arms behind him..
As he spent time like that, Midas became convinced.
‘There is not a single one among the great mages who can figure this out. Are you sure.’
Among the Grand Mage players currently playing God Wars, there is not a single human being who would naturally know this..
‘There's no way anyone could endure this boring thing. Not just anyone else, but arrogant guys like the Great Mage..’
The fact that you have the job of Grand Mage is in itself the same as becoming a noble in God Wars..
Is there really anyone among them who endures such a boring time for no reason??
I guarantee you that most of the time you won't be able to hunt at a party like this! I'll hunt with another party! He said, “I’ll just leave the party without looking back.” And the other one is too stuffy to watch, so I'll carry it! You will demonstrate your capabilities while doing so..
[Guardian protects you for 33 minutes.]
[Guardian's loyalty has reached level 8.]
In such boredom, the sound Midas had been waiting for so long came..
[Guardian's abilities improve.]
[Guardian's combat ability improves.]
[More intimate communication with the Guardian becomes possible..]
At the following notification, Midas spoke with a still bored expression on his face..
“Gold, take care of it now.”
At those words, Gold, who had been silently blocking attacks with only a shield up until now, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted..
“For the lord!”
With a cry that clearly felt like loyalty, Gold struck the Lizardman's stomach with his foot..
pop!
At that moment, Midas' bored expression changed..
‘uh? There was no kick?’
Attack patterns not seen in previous battles to collect data.
hiss!
After that, the Lizardman's body began to be cut down mercilessly by Gold's attack..
The attack was also different from the previous one..
‘Patterns have become more diverse and sharper!’
It definitely feels like a pattern has been added..
sha!
In the face of such an offensive, the Lizardmen fought hard, and the two began to come together..
[Killed a Lizardman.]
The fierce battle is over.
And when the battle was over, there was no more boredom on Midas' face..
‘2minutes 57 seconds?’
Just full of surprises.
3.
Players are treated differently depending on their abilities..
If you are talented, you will naturally be treated well..
And just as important as that ability was the ability to consistently demonstrate that skill..
Even if your skills are excellent, your skills are uneven.?
It's not easy to trust such a partner.
In particular, hunting in God Wars was mostly repetitive work..
The pattern of the monster is set, and the strategy that matches that pattern is also set..
In that sense, it was natural that someone who demonstrated his or her skills consistently and stably would receive a better evaluation than someone with excellent skills. Midas, that was the reason he was still well-received and made money..
He didn't produce better results than others, but he produced results that perfectly met the expected level..
But there was a being that even Midas could not defeat..
Beings in God Wars.
No matter how great Midas is, isn't he able to perform his role as consistently as they do??
king!
This was the reason why the Divine Beasts, who had Fenrir, the tier 1 of them all, as their throne, were evaluated as tremendous beings..
“for the owner!”
‘2minutes 56 seconds.’
And this was the reason why Midas was confident as he saw Gold slaying the Lizardmen for him..
‘I've definitely gotten stronger.’
As loyalty increases, Gold's combat ability increases rapidly..
‘That's a lot too.’
When Midas realized that fact, there was only one question that came to his mind..
‘Isn’t this a much better skill than I thought??’
There is a possibility that the Guardian skill may be a skill so excellent that the world's evaluation is meaningless..
‘No, common sense is a good thing. It's nothing else, it's legendary?’
If you think about it, among the legendary grade skills, there were almost no skills with low skill efficiency..
It would be strange to give it a legendary grade when the skill efficiency is low..
From that perspective, it was not strange but natural that guardian skills were better than unique level skills..
‘for a moment.’
At that moment, a new simulation was drawn in Midas' mind..
‘There is absolutely no need to force a melee dealer with excellent combat skills into a tank..’
What happens when you add a very good melee dealer, a melee dealer and tank with a balanced offense and defense, and a powerful ranged dealer plus a reliable tank??
‘2It might be possible to catch a thousand in 5 hours.……'
After completing the simulation, Midas looked at the gold..
Then Gold, who had been waiting for that gaze, shouted.
“Master, please give me new orders. Gold, I will show performance worthy of its name.!"
king!
As if he couldn't lose, Lucky also said something..
Midas saw that and nodded..
In front of Midas, who nodded like that, Gold said while looking at Lucky standing next to him..
“I will prove that I am better than this worthless beast.!”
king?
Lucky looked at Gold as if he was dumbfounded by the absurd challenge..
Of course, Midas did not attach any meaning to the scene..
‘Golem, let's go.’
Now all you need is a tank..
‘And catch 2,000.’
Then there is no need to worry about strategy anymore..
4.
Summon Golem.
It was quite popular as a skill that could be learned by an alchemist, one of the wizard classes..
It was that good of a skill..
It wasn't difficult to imagine.
3There is no wall as strong as a meter-long stone giant standing with his arms wide open..
If those walls even move?
Additionally, the existence of attribute golems, which can be acquired only through the golem summoning skill, was also very useful..
The fire golem is truly the best shield against monsters that attack fire attributes..
The attack power wasn't bad either..
Excluding the drawback of slow attack, the expected value was quite high..
Therefore, the golem summoning skill was like a staple for alchemist players..
‘Oh, it's expensive..’
Of course, the price of that skill card was considerable..
‘I should have done that then too.’
Moreover, Hyunwoo Jeong recently saw a property for sale that was much cheaper than the market price..
That's how it is.
No matter what the reason, if you see an item sold at a lower price than its original price, you will never be able to buy it at full price even if you have a lot of money..
‘Oh, I don't have any money.’
Moreover, Jeong Hyun-woo didn't have a lot of money right now..
I recently spent most of my spare money purchasing the Ragged Shaman set items..
Furthermore, the Slayer Orc set could not be sold because it was being worn by Gold, the guardian..
‘I think I just need to get paid.……'
Of course, the amount of profit that had to be settled from the Rising Star channel was not small..
First of all, the video itself was a huge hit, so not only did it generate additional revenue beyond the initial down payment received, but even if the donations sent by Azmo were distributed, the amount was not small..
‘There are still ten days left until the settlement date..’
The problem is that the settlement date specified in the contract is far away..
‘Here, asking for a settlement date is a handshake..’
Here, if Jung Hyun-woo asks Rising Star Channel, he will be able to receive payment more quickly..
That's possible in places where people live..
But Jeong Hyeon-woo knew that wasn't a very good way..
‘In the end, you have to compete based on your skills. If you do that, you will end up getting stuck and end up losing money..’
Professionals prove their skills and are rewarded with a salary..
Jeong Hyun-woo, who has lived in the professional world, knew that saying regretful things here and making small gains by saying those regretful words could become a fatal weakness later on..
There was nothing to look at for long..
I have heard countless times how many people who borrowed money from the club because they urgently needed money lost money in subsequent salary negotiations, and how many times they complained..
In such a situation, there was currently only one way for Jeong Hyun-woo to receive a lump sum of money..
‘Should we talk about the next video contract??’
Signing a contract for a new video and receiving a deposit.
This was also the method by which Jung Hyun-woo received a large sum of money from the Rising Star channel..
However, until now, the proposals have always been made unilaterally by Rising Star Channel..
Hyun-Woo Jeong comes forward and asks, “How much do you want to pay?” The positions between the two were too different to say that.
‘Shall I make a suggestion? Well, the reaction to this video or the issue wasn’t bad.……'
But now the relationship is a little different..
Jeong Hyun-woo, who was worried about such a situation, soon came up with an answer..
‘It's a bit weird to bring up the down payment to ask for a contract, but it's okay to at least ask when the contract will be signed.?’
5.
“Boss, an email has arrived from BJ Grand Mage..”
“contents is?”
“He said he would like to talk about the next video contract..”
Park Young-jun asked what his subordinate said..
“The down payment story?”
“doesn't exist.”
“Talk about profit distribution, settlement date, etc.?”
“doesn't exist.”
“Well, I just want to talk about the contract, that's all I've got to say.?”
“yes."
Park Young-jun did not look particularly worried or surprised by the answer that followed..
Instead, he nodded as if he was satisfied with the content..
“See, I'm right.?”
“It really came just as the boss said..”
On the contrary, the subordinate looked surprised..
“I told you, there's no point in giving or receiving $10,000 more for a man of that caliber..”
Youngjun Park, he told his subordinates early on..
BJ Grand Mage will definitely bring up the contract, but will not send any detailed information..
“And it doesn't really mean anything to us either. From their perspective, we are like a suitable subcontractor. It doesn't matter if it's not us, but it doesn't matter if it's us..”
The subordinate nodded to what he had already heard before..
“Still, the terms of the contract must be met properly. The down payment is $15,000, and the distribution is 6 to 4, with 6 going to BJ Grand Mage. That's how you see it.”
However, the subordinate was surprised by what he said and asked back..
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to raise the conditions? The other side may be suggesting even more conditions than that.?”
“I told you, they are nobles overflowing with rotten money. It didn't move due to the conditions in the first place.”
“still……"
Park Young-jun spoke firmly in response to his subordinate's doubts..
“If the conditions are necessary, you probably think you can just go ahead and change them, right? What would we say if you asked us to make today's conditions 8 to 2 in a month??”
“I have to do it.”
“Yeah, there's really no point in playing with numbers.”
Park Young-jun, who was speaking, tapped my chest with his finger and said..
“The heart has meaning.”
“So that's a bribe..”
“It has existed since mankind formed society. It is said that bribery appeared before currency..”
A subordinate questioned Park Young-jun’s appearance like that..
“But would a man with a lot of money like BJ Grand Mage place any significance on one skill card? You might already have it.?”
“I told you, it's the heart. If you have it, you can just resell it. Even if that's not the case, from BJ's point of view, he will at least think of us who gave him that gift at least once more..
In a good way. is not it? Do you really think that the BJ master wizard sees us paying bribes and thinks that we are fucking bastards who commit immoral acts according to social standards? These guys are so dirty, I shouldn't do business with them, I guess.?
huh?
Park Young-jun nodded at the sight of his subordinate shaking his head..
He then smiled and said.
“And the moment this works, there is a secret secret that can make a relationship intimate..
A subordinate asked a question at the appearance of another Biggie..
“Is there anything more than this??”
“Bribe one more time.”
“yes?”
Park Young-jun spoke with a confident expression to his surprised subordinates..
“The more bribes you give, the more synergy effects occur..”
