‘7 times.’
The moment Midas checked the contents under the question mark above Gold’s head, there was only one thought in Midas’ head.
‘It’s better Let’s just declare the party play on this opportunity and finish it cleanly.’
Instead of fighting the ringed monkey while struggling to evolve gold by yourself, let’s use this opportunity to play in a party.
It was not a matter of worrying or sleeping.
He has already experienced what it is like to deal with over 100 ringed monkeys.
But do this 7 more times?
‘Why is there a need to make the game difficult?’
I could have done it.
If you’ve done it once, there’s nothing you can’t do twice.
‘I’ll end up playing the party anyway.’
But isn’t Midas already giving up his insistence on playing solo?
In a situation where he had made such a resolution, he didn’t want to take the risk or even the considerable price of the potion.
Crucially, Midas knew.
‘Currently, our situation is not a situation that can be covered with one of Gold’s new skills.’
Even if gold increases loyalty and acquires good skills, it cannot be a game changer that can change the current situation.
To be precise, there was no skill that Midas knew that could change this situation at once.
‘Okay, let’s go outside and talk to the Rising Star Channel about who to party with.’
There was no hesitation on Midas’ face as he lifted his head as he finished his promise.
‘Now, even if I play in a party, everyone will understand.’

“What do you think Hyunwoo hyung?”
Before answering Lee Hyuk-joo’s question, Jung Hyeon-woo stroked his face heavily with both hands.
“So, to put the question together…. .
Jeong Hyeon-woo, who had been frowning with his hands and barely straightened his face, asked Lee Hyuk-ju.
“Does BJ Grand Mage easily beat 100 Ringed Monkeys or hard?”
“yes. What do you think? Of course, the BJ Great Mage will easily wipe out about 100 of them, right?”
Say the BJ Grand Mage wipes out ringed monkeys lightly!
At Lee Hyuk-joo’s urging, full of selfishness that was almost compulsory, Jeong Hyeon-woo covered his face with his hands once again.
‘ah.’
It was because it seemed that he would not be able to control his expression at all.
‘Going crazy.’
As much as that, Jung Hyeon-woo was absurd right now.
‘Why is this shit all of a sudden?’
At this moment, Jeong Hyeon-woo thought about what he had done wrong.
However, there was nothing special about the move.
After the live broadcast, what Jung Hyun-woo did was visit Papatu, the city on the big stage, take pictures with fans, meet NPC Hitu in Papatu, receive a quest on his stingray, and hunt 100 ringed monkeys to check his abilities. That was all.
Of course, if hunting 100 ringed monkeys is a special thing, it is something that is not disclosed to the public.
‘What did I do wrong?’
But why does BJ Grand Mage easily wipe out 100 ringed monkeys after finishing the game or just roughly wipe them out? Why is there a fierce debate about that?
“At least, hyung is the best at games in this capsule room, so please tell me clearly.”
Jeong Hyeon-woo, who was suffering in front of such a ridiculous argument, answered Lee Hyuk-ju’s endless questions.
“Hey, no matter how great the BJ Great Mage is, it’s impossible to wipe out 100 of them.”
A more reliable answer than anyone else in the world.
“Impossible?”
“Think of BJ Grand Mage fighting with all his might against 50 ringed monkeys at the beginning of the live broadcast. I caught it well, but it was only that number, so I caught it well. Even if the number of ringed monkeys there increases by 10, the risk changes. But will it double that?”
At Jung Hyeon-woo’s words, Lee Hyuk-ju shook his head.
“Ah Hyunwoo hyung doesn’t know what. Of course, the BJ Archmage must have demonstrated his full potential there, right?”
“what?”
“Isn’t it? If it was BJ Grand Mage, he would have hidden at least three trump cards there. And after that, BJ Grand Mage dealt with more than 30 monsters by himself, right?”
At Lee Hyuk-joo’s words that followed, Jung Hyeon-woo shouted in his heart.
‘It was just a show, a show!’
While the echo echoed in his heart, Jung Hyeon-woo heard the public opinion around him.
“I think it’s possible if you listen to Hyeok-ju.”
“that’s right. If you are a BJ great mage, there must be something.”
Most of them were putting weight on Lee Hyuk-ju’s opinion.
Encouraged by that fact, Lee Hyuk-ju said to Jeong Hyeon-woo as if arguing.
“In terms of common sense, BJ Grand Mage is neither stupid nor capable of catching 100 birds, but would he have just pushed his head in the woods?”
“Yeah…. .
“There’s no way BJ Grand Mage has eyes that can see how many ringed monkeys are in the forest of dandelions, right? Then, he said he had in mind that he would face a group of over 100 in the end, but he doesn’t have the confidence to win, so it makes sense to climb up so confidently, doesn’t it?”
In response to Lee Hyuk-joo’s argument, Jeong Hyeon-woo gave up his refutation.
‘shit.’
In fact, Lee Hyuk-ju’s words were not wrong.
If BJ Grand Mage didn’t have the confidence to deal with more than 100 ringed monkeys, he wouldn’t have hunted with such confidence in the forest of bamboo trees.
‘It is my mistake.’
Honestly, this was Jung Hyun-woo’s fault.
I should have kept in mind how the viewers would react and think what would happen if I went live.
Of course, if I wanted to avoid this situation, I should have properly planned the performance accordingly.
Of course, reflection on this was not immediately urgent.
‘What do we do?’
The important thing now was the situation Jung Hyeon-woo was facing.
‘If you declare that you are partying here… … .’
In such an atmosphere of controversy, it would be a bit difficult for the BJ master mage to catch 100 fish.
Our BJ Grand Mage is having a hard time, of course you should play the party! Fighting our BJ great mage! Shall I shout
what? After all, you’re playing a party? My BJ master mage is not like that! Shall I shout?
‘ah.’
Even if it wasn’t for one of the two, the possibility of a positive reaction was extremely low.
While Jeong Hyeon-woo was agonizing over that reality, Lee Hyuk-ju spoke again.
“It is clear. Sooner or later, BJ Grand Mage will show you how to catch 100, no 200 ringed monkeys.”
The moment I heard that, Jeong Hyeon-woo thought.
“Hey, even if you’re a BJ master mage, would that be possible? He is a human too.”
Let’s stop this situation from getting worse.
Lee Hyuk-ju said with a serious expression at Jung Hyeon-woo’s words.
“Hyung, are you ignoring BJ Grand Mage?”
“Yes?”
“brother! BJ Grand Mage is not an ordinary player!”
“No, no matter how much it is, there is no way that BJ Grand Mage will be solo forever, right? Even if you say that this time, the next hunting ground is the land of pioneers, so you should prepare for a party play. My guess is that maybe I’ll find the right party members in the forest of stage trees and put them together… … .
“My older brother, BJ the Great Mage, played solo all his life, but never played in a party. BJ Grand Mage is such a player. isn’t it?”
Following Lee Hyuk-ju’s words, the guests gathered around him nodded their heads in sympathy.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“BJ Grand Mage is dead if he dies solo, so he’s a player who won’t party pathetically.”
“The moment I play the party, all the viewers will run away?”
“The moment you play a party, I will immediately go in and write bad comments. Live your life as a solo.”
Firm and unwavering faith in BJ Grand Mage!
‘Ah, I’m going to go crazy…….’
Jeong Hyeon-woo gave up on his refutation and got up from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
To Lee Hyuk-joo’s question flying toward him, Jung Hyeon-woo answered.
“…. to play.”

“Fuck!”
Midas cursed and struck the ringed monkey’s head with his staff.
kid!
As the ringed monkey screamed and fell to the side, Midas threw the fireball he was holding in his palm.
Perong!
[The ringed monkey has been killed.]
With the sound of an explosion, Midas turned his head.
Then, over the gruesome traces, I saw Lucky and Gold Jackpot fighting fiercely.
Fire!
Then, I saw the one remaining blaze golem, and next to it was a blaze golem that was now destroyed and remained as a ball of fire.
Seeing the scene, Midas laughed.
With that sneer, Midas thought.
‘It’s not even funny.’
The capsule room, the controversy over BJ Grand Mage, and the public opinion that resulted from that controversy.
In the midst of that public opinion, Midas couldn’t bear to ask the Rising Star channel to set it up because he was going to play a party.
In the end, there was only one conclusion that Midas could draw.
‘It is said that you can buy hardships when you split up, but I never thought I would buy it like this. shit!’
Let’s do as much as we can by mobilizing all means and methods that we can.
‘First, evolve from gold.’
The first was the evolution of gold.
Of course, my expectations were not high.
The problem Midas faced was not at a level that could be solved with just one new skill from Gold.
Nonetheless, I was determined to do as much as I could.
Other than that, there were quite a few things that could be done.
‘Let’s change the gold item setting as well. Let’s try wallpapering it with Legendary items.’
There was a gold spec up.
‘I’ll try to improve my specs as much as I can.’
And Midas didn’t have a corner to climb up at all.
The return on investment is just too low.
Midas, who had been counting in his head like that, focused on the battlefield again.
There are 23 ringed monkeys left.
Also, this was the fourth time.
Is that why?
‘Still, after doing this four times, I can feel something.’
Even though the battle was so fierce that one of the Blaze Golems was destroyed, Midas, unlike before, was able to have a bit of composure.
‘There are two things we lack.’
In that spare time, Midas was able to find out what was lacking in his combination.
‘healer.’
The thing lacking the most is none other than a healer.
Whatever the case may be, the reason why Midas couldn’t actively put Lucky and Gold’s mighty forces on the forefront was because of the risk of their departure.
If he had a healer, he would be able to take the risk and attack more aggressively.
‘And a pure dealer.’
At the same time, what was lacking was a pure dealer who could only focus on damage dealing.
Originally, it was the role of Midas.
However, against Ringed Monkey, Midas himself has no choice but to tank to manage aggro.
Of course Midas knew.
‘Though both are impossible.’
In the case of healers, it was a part that could not be filled in the current solo play system, not knowing if a new player was recruited.
Among the skills that the great mage could learn, there was healing magic, but this was a skill that could only be used by contacting the target, and it was not much different from just feeding a potion.
The same goes for pure dealers.
It was a problem that could be solved by playing in a party and having some margin in numbers, but it was not a problem that could be solved with skills or items in the current situation.
Of course, Midas no longer considered it infinitely impossible.
‘I wonder if something like an item ability extraction system comes out.’
In that way, he would have already started playing the party in Red Mountain.
In the midst of such repeated battles, Midas gradually changed.
‘Let’s do something right. After all, there are only two all-or-nothings under the name of BJ Grand Mage.’
Push the limits of what you can climb to a higher place.
10.
[Killed Ringed Monkey]
[Killed all the monsters on the stage tree.]
The moment Midas heard the notification, he turned his head and looked at Gold.
Then the notification sounded again.
[Guardian has won 7 battles with more than 100 hordes.]
[Guardian’s loyalty has reached level 3.]
At that notification, Midas shouted.
“Gold!”
“Yes Master!”
At that call, Gold came toward Midas wearing a flawed armor.
[Choose the Guardian’s new ability yourself.]
In the meantime, after an audible notification, Gold stood in front of Midas and 20 cards appeared between them.
“Master, please choose a new ability to immortalize for yourself!”
At that moment, Gold said something he had never heard before.
At that, Midas, who was about to check the color of the card, turned his gaze to the gold and let out a smirk.
“Yes, I must choose a new power.”
Even as he spoke, Midas did not have high expectations.
No, to be precise, Midas was in a situation where he was fully satisfied.
‘The price of the potion isn’t a joke, and there were dangerous moments, but I managed it in the end.’
Having won seven battles anyway.
‘I can really do it.’
With just that alone, the word “confidence” could not but come to mind in Midas’ heart.
At the same time, Midas realized that the line he had set for himself was a line he could cross.
“As expected, the game should be difficult to taste.”
Now, to the extent of revealing the leisure to enjoy this situation.
Under such circumstances, Midas was confident that he would not be disappointed even if Gold’s skills were not great.
Because experience is already a great asset.
“Well then…. .
So Midas looked at 20 cards.
Among them, the first thing that attracted Midas’ attention were two golden cards.
‘Legendary two.’
golden legend.
‘The one is…. oh!’
Midas, who confirmed one of them, let out a short exclamation inwardly.
‘Armor breaking!’
The identity of that golden legendary skill is none other than Armor Breaking.
It was also an item option for the Black Claymore currently worn by Gold.
‘Is this a jackpot?’
The utility value was, of course, good.
Right now, it will overlap with the Black Claymore option, but is there no reason to use Black Claymore for the rest of your life?
It would be wise to learn this skill now if you plan on wearing other items later.
In that state, Midas turned his gaze to another golden card.
Of course, at this moment, Midas had made up his mind.
‘Armor breaking would be the best.’
There is no better skill than Armor Breaking.
‘huh?’
Such thoughts of Midas had no choice but to fade the moment he saw the second golden skill card.
[Miniaturization]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: Makes the body smaller.
‘Miniaturization? What is this?’
A skill that even Midas had never seen before appeared.
