Alone Full Level Newbie-Episode 108
108fury. Ranker recruitment. ‘Climb the Tower of Trials’’ (1)
‘Climb the Tower of Ordeals’, a very popular program boasting a viewership rating of 40%’.
This program covers everyone from the Awakened Association and various guilds to the general public. It was truly loved by all age groups..
That means it's a real deal..
‘certainly… I have to succeed.’
Daun Kim bit his lip..
Nowadays, people enjoy Internet broadcasting more than TV, such as ViewTube and Paprika TV. The broadcasting station's position had to become increasingly narrow..
Nowadays, even if the viewer rating is only 10%, people say it's a big hit..
However, with the advent of the Tower of Trials, an opportunity to turn the situation around has come..
Under the extensive support of the government and the Awakened Association. It is now possible to create special programs related to the Tower of Trials..
A once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity.
KDS had to somehow make use of this opportunity..
And the hidden card that can continue that spark of hope is…….
This is the man in front of me right now..
“The mint chocolate here is very good. It really tastes like toothpaste, right? I wonder if they really put it there?”
Jinhyuk Kang.
Korea's 16th S-level player and a person who is generating a lot of attention..
To be honest, I didn't think recruiting would be easy..
Surprisingly, the other person willingly came to the meeting..
‘please… You shouldn't ask for such an exorbitant appearance fee..’
Daun Kim swallowed his dry saliva..
“excuse me… Player Jinhyuk Kang?”
“yes?”
Jinhyuk lifted his lips from the straw..
“As I said on the phone, tomorrow at 7 PM. All you have to do is appear on a live talk show..”
“ah. I know. Just briefly introduce myself and tell a story about what I have done so far. It was this?”
“that's right. For major action scenes and other scenes, we will re-edit the videos on Jinhyeok Kang's ViewTube and play them together. Player Kang Jin-hyuk plans to proceed by adding comments in between..”
In other words, I want you to do the same as if the director were commenting on the work in a movie.?
Well, it's a sensitive part, so just gloss over it..
I felt like I could sufficiently digest the broadcast volume if there was some Q&A time afterwards..
good.
I was told roughly what needed to be done..
“Now, let’s talk about compensation.?”
Yes.
One of the goals was to appear on TV and raise awareness..
The most important thing is the appearance fee. Because of this, I accepted Daun Kim’s offer..
As Jinhyuk smiled, a nervous look flashed across Daun Kim's face..
“For those in class B, we pay 10 million won per time. For those in Class A, we are giving 50 million won. And for S-class people, it is set at 500 million, but if you want, you can raise it a little more..”
5100 million.
It was an unprecedented amount for a person to receive for just one appearance..
However, Jinhyuk shook his head..
This does not mean that the amount is insufficient..
It's just that what I need this time isn't money..
“Are you missing something??”
“no. That's not it... I would like to receive magic stones instead of money as an appearance fee..”
“yes?”
“I have to extract magic power from the magic stone. Even so, I heard that the broadcasting station is investing in a business related to Majeongseok, so I would like to receive an appearance fee from that..”
“It’s okay… It may seem inconvenient, but can I call the director for a moment? The payment method is not something I can decide at my level..”
……caught.
“Sure. Please take it easy.”
Jinhyuk relaxedly leaned on the sofa..
Then Kim Daun hurried out of the coffee shop holding his cell phone..
‘The answer will be fixed anyway.’
Because I was in no position to say no..
No matter what is asked here, I have no choice but to nod..
How long has it been since I sipped a drink like that??
Daun Kim, who went out to make a phone call, has returned..
however.
Her expression looked a little dark.
“Did things not go well??”
“ah… . The Majeongseok case was not approved. As soon as the broadcast ends, we will settle the payment in the underground storage room. You can take it then..”
“thank god.”
“But, I… There's one more thing I need to tell you..”
Daun Kim trailed off as if he was troubled. It looks like there's something amiss..
“I'm listening.”
“I guess someone else has an appointment scheduled for tomorrow's broadcast. So, may I ask if you could appear with him??”
“Someone else is coming besides me.?”
For sure….
Didn’t you say it would be difficult because no one would come tomorrow??
“yes. sorry. It was something I didn't even understand because it was discussed from above..”
“First, let me point out one thing. I prefer to be honest rather than vaguely explaining things..”
“yes?”
Daun Kim widened his eyes..
I tried to calm my expression somehow, but it was already too late..
also….
Suddenly a new guest is added.
No matter how crappy the bureaucracy is, that's true. There's no way things could be handled like that..
That means.
“Who are you? The person who said he was coming with me.”
“……That, that….”
It's frustrating. Do you not even realize who holds the sword hilt right now??
Isn't the broadcasting station going out of business because there are no talented people??
“great. If you won't tell me, I'll leave it out..”
Jinhyuk stood up without any regrets..
Then it was Kim Da-un who became urgent..
“Ho, CEO Hong Deok-pyo. yes! It's him! After hearing that CEO Hong had invited player Jinhyeok Kang, he said he would definitely come too.….”
Hongdeokpyo Ramen?
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
I remembered.
The master of the 'Dark Cloud Guild', who made a fool of himself in the dance hall and wrote dark history properly..
The unlucky protagonist who was used as a basis for a press conference.
okay. he was that guy.
‘They put pressure on the broadcasting station to appear on the air with me.….’
Seeing that Hong Deok-pyo was trying so hard to come, there was no doubt that he was planning something stupid again..
Anyway, I don't know why there are so many people in the world who can't come to their senses after being scolded once..
Don't you know that you shouldn't do it that way??
‘……no way?’
Jinhyuk immediately realized the reason..
“Looking at how confident you are, it looks like there's someone other than CEO Hong coming with you..”
There is no possibility that Hong Deok-pyo improved his skills significantly after the prom..
There are ruins and labyrinths that can grow by leaps and bounds, but there is no message that they have been conquered yet..
Above all, he is not capable of doing that..
then.
‘This probably means that they have recruited someone with useful skills..’
There is no other way to explain it.
“yes. that's right. I heard that several rankers from large overseas guilds are also coming..”
As expected, this is what happened.
An opportunity to bring together yourself and famous foreign rankers whose stock prices are rising these days..
From the broadcasting station's point of view, even if it wasn't due to pressure from Hong Deok-pyo. It must have been a temptation difficult to give up..
Is Korea all about personal connections?.
It's fun.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up..
“Well then, can I also be a guest and invite some of my acquaintances??”
＊＊＊
the next evening.
Hong Deok-pyo arrived in front of the broadcasting station an hour before the scheduled time..
“The day has finally come.”
Expectation dripped from his flushed face..
Now that I have a chance to repay the humiliation I've suffered, I can't help but be excited..
‘Today is the last time I wake up screaming at night..’
Even if I eat outside, my stomach turns when the name Kang Jin-hyuk comes up. For Hong Deok-pyo, prom day was a nightmare that was difficult to shake off..
But, that too is over now..
This is the time to repay what was done 1000 times..
It was then.
“Damn, I know you're in a state of delusion and excitement, but you're the reason we've got to come all the way to this snotty land.?”
“Kang Jin-hyuk is a person who is watched closely even from above, so there is nothing we can do about it. by the way. Representative Hong. Don't forget about compensation. You've called us all over the country, so we'll definitely get your reward..”
People with somewhat exotic appearances approached Hong Deok-pyo..
A man with a sharp look like a viper and a woman with long black hair that reaches her waist..
The two people complained as if they were dissatisfied with coming to Korea..
OK.
The third and final man opened his mouth..
“Both of you be quiet. Even reporters are here, so if you raise your voice and the guild's image gets tarnished,…….”
a brief comma.
What followed was a notification without any emotion..
“I will kill you both with my own hands..”
this is no joke.
“……Oh, I see..”
“……yes.”
The two people's complaints were captured in the dry words that could be described as mechanical..
Yes.
That's it.
As many as three S-class rankers from the [Chinese Guild] have come for revenge this time..
We've selected only those skilled enough to wipe out a sizable guild with just three people..
However, what is more important than individual force is. The strongest guild in China came forward directly..
There are tens of thousands of players in guilds alone..
Moreover, Namgung-cheon, who stands at the top, boasted strength beyond imagination to the point where he was nicknamed a walking boss monster..
As long as you have a lineup this splendid. A single player who insists on playing solo won't be able to handle it..
‘Come on, give it a try..’
A wry smile appeared on Hong Deok-pyo’s lips..
If you hit someone with a rice cake, you should hit them with a rice cake again..
They had already called in a press corps to highlight the excitement of this stage..
As for the large-scale true education that will take place in a moment, the more eyes there are, the better it will be..
But that was when Hong Deok-pyo was giggling..
“what is this. Why are they so crowded together??”
A familiar-looking man appeared among the people..
It was Jinhyuk..
You came!
Hong Deok-pyo’s eyes sparkled..
Players from the Chinese guild were equally interested..
Now that I've encountered the ranker that has recently become the center of attention, I can't help but feel curious..
The leader of the Junghwa Guild approached Jinhyeok..
And just as I was about to open my mouth to speak.
“You are Jinhyuk Kang….”
“I don't buy from China.”
Jinhyuk suddenly stopped talking..
“What, what??”
The leader's face was distorted with anger..
“Holy crazy! Do you think you know who these people are and are talking nonsense? I am a ranker belonging to a Chinese guild.!”
Hong Deok-pyo urgently tried to resolve the situation..
ah.
I wondered why that guy was so embarrassed..
“These guys were the ones I trusted.?”
This is true.
They say they recruited someone with great talent. I was wondering if they brought a famous ranker somewhere..
I never thought they brought mass-produced products from China..
I roughly expected it based on the pattern and outfit, but this was below expectations..
‘There are three people…….’
Jinhyuk checked the status window of the players from the Chinese guild with a sour expression..
These are abilities and unique abilities that are too difficult to list one by one..
Is it possible to organize everything within a reasonable line?.
‘China's expectations are also below expectations..’
At least if Namgung-cheon comes in person, it will be fun to fight. Of course, that is only when you have grown much better than when you were at the Tower of Trials..
“That's it. Representative Hong. let me tell you.”
The leader dissuaded Representative Hong..
It's probably because they care about reporters. Her face is burning with anger, and if she tries to hold it in, a thousand dollars will explode inside her..
“Jinhyuk Kang player. okay. It's good to be confident. Because you've done something worth it. However, don't think that you can take on a large guild alone. And that’s in our Junghwa, not anywhere else..”
“hmm. To be honest, I think it would be enough on my own..”
It's not fun to press down with force..
What the other person is most confident in.
The most thrilling thing is when you take a picture with it and press it..
Anyway, the time has come..
The moment I thought that.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A black foreign car appeared on the road..
Rolls Royce Phantom.
It was a top-of-the-line vehicle that was rarely seen even in Gangnam. The Rolls-Royce approached as if flowing over the clouds and soon stopped in front of the broadcasting station..
“Well, what is it??”
“Who else decided to come??”
“I never thought I'd see that car here?”
Reporters' attention was focused on the car..
Soon after, the driver came out and politely opened the door..
It's a smart move..
So much so that the mere act of opening the door exudes elegance..
“Im here.”
And because of the people coming out of the car.
“omg?”
“Oh my, this can't be happening!”
“Everyone gather here right now! Bring all your cameras! right now!”
Everyone in front of the broadcasting station had to let out an exclamation of astonishment..
