BJ Archmage - Chapter 274
Chapter 274. < Episode 88. Desert (1). >
1.
What is the most comfortable job in God Wars?
To that question, most would answer wizard.
Actually, being a wizard was a comfortable job.
It is not comparable to melee dealers or tanks, and it was comfortable compared to healers.
In God Wars, healers sometimes throw themselves to save melee dealer tanks on the front line.
Of course, these wizards also had their own difficulties.
“Don’t go too far with the wizard. Isn’t it easy to match magic while avoiding trees in the forest?”
Most of the wizards’ magic is a throwing type, and these throwing type magics exert their power the moment they touch.
In other words, no matter how powerful magic was, it was useless if it hit a wooden pole or a stone.
It was for this reason that wizards with excellent accuracy rates were highly evaluated.
It was because of that that Midas was able to earn his living as a professional player.
But what if there is no need for that?
What if the throwing magic flies until it hits the target while exerting strong physical force?
What if the trees boasting lush branches in front of you are just passing through, whether they are dense or not?
Quaang!
It was for that reason that Midas now stared at the magic that shattered the ground with a heavy feeling like a meteorite with wide eyes.
‘It’s more fraudulent than falling meteorites!’
Falling Star The effect of that skill was magic that changed the basic concept of strategy itself that had been held by Midas as well as God Wars wizards.
Moreover, this concept did not stop at the level of simply breaking through obstacles.
If it is possible to hit the target ignoring obstacles, there is no need to throw it in a straight line.
Whiik!
Midas threw the fireball in his hand at an almost vertical angle toward the sky.
Quaang!
As soon as he saw the fireball that fell, three words came to Midas’ head.
‘This is really crazy.’
With that word, a picture was drawn in Midas’ head.
Unlike until now, where he cut down trees to find a position where he could hit a monster somehow, and secured a route, he saw himself starting to fire right away as soon as he saw the monster.
And your own eyes that can grasp the whole process more accurately than ever.
Midas, of course, was not optimistic.
‘I need practice.’
As this is my first experience, it will take a lot of effort and training to write proficiently.
The training and hard work wasn’t going to be easy either.
Even so, Midas didn’t think of coming down with a bright smile on his lips.
Of course, at this moment in Midas’s head, what should I do with the next live broadcast? There was no such concern.
“Whoa.
It was for this reason that Midas suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at his colleagues watching him with a liberated expression.
“Guys, you did a really good job. I don’t think you guys will ever step out.”
That was the moment.
king!
clap clap clap!
Lucky and Gold said to Midas, Master! I will trust and follow you! The moment he was about to react, a notification sounded in Midas’ ears.
[Used Falling Star 22 times.]
[Quest conditions have been completed.]
The notification that the quest was finished tapped Midas’ ear, and Midas smiled even brighter at that notification.
‘Because this is going to be solved, it will be solved easily!’
Did you really think you could move on to the next quest this easily?
‘Wait, what was the title of the next quest?’
That’s how Midas recalled the hidden information, and soon his face hardened.
‘Wok…….’
Whiik!
As if responding to Midas’ expression, Midas’ necklace began to run rampant.
[The new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest list.]
[The power of the nameless god is running out of control.]
Midas shouted at the notification that was heard at the same time.
“Everyone beware!”
1st warning.
After that, Midas immediately issued a second warning.
“If you ever get into trouble, leave me and step back!”
Abandon yourself in case of a serious accident!
Midas, who gave out that resolute cry, was more serious than ever.
‘The quest title is out of control. It won’t be strange no matter what happens!’
Lucky, Gold, Silver, and Jackpot were surprised by Midas’ cry, and took a stand.
king!
“Master, how dare I abandon you and retreat!”
“Your words are correct!”
couw!
Of course, they did not show any intention of abandoning Midas, but instead showed the appearance of dying together, which made Midas smile bitterly.
Time passed like that.
about 1 minute or so.
Now that it was difficult to stay still, as time passed, Jackpot tilted his head first.
couw?
Is the owner yelling at you again? Midas rolled his eyes at Jackpot’s gesture that seemed to say so.
‘what? why doesn’t anything happen? Did you hear the notification? He said he was running out of control?’
A calm that doesn’t match the notice of runaway.
‘With God Wars, it wouldn’t be strange if things exploded when I was deliberately relaxing.’
However, Midas did not relax as he knew that God Wars was a game that tried to overwhelm the player.
I stuck to the stillness a little more.
And when another minute passed, Lucky, who had been holding his tail stiff like a spear, soon began to wag his tail from side to side.
Panting!
Anyone looking at it seemed relaxed.
“It doesn’t look like anything will happen.”
And Silver agreed with Lucky’s opinion.
“You guys! Follow the master’s words and be alert! Do you really think that Master went out of his mind and did something so ridiculous? How dare you look at Master!”
Only Gold stands up with unwavering faith.
Midas spoke cautiously towards such gold.
“I’m sorry, Gold, I just think I was an asshole.”
After saying that, Midas looked at his necklace with a puzzled expression.
‘It feeds me in so many different ways.’
There was nothing unusual about the necklace he looked at.
‘What is it?’
But obviously what happened.
First of all, Midas activated the quest window.
[Runaway]
– Quest Grade: Main scenario
– Quest Level: Level 210 or higher
– Quest Content: The power of the nameless god ran out of control. Go to Eveni within 15 days. If you don’t, someone unknown will find you.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed to ‘Oasis’
.
‘An unknown person? What is it looking for me… … .’
A memory immediately popped into my mind.
Memories of the restricted area there in the Golden Plains.
The black being he encountered there and the number on his head.
‘Level 444!’
The moment he remembered it, Midas was able to quickly organize the contents of this quest.
‘If I don’t find Eveni within 15 days, it’s game over!’
That the countdown to his life has now begun.
2.
Late morning.
“Uh…. .
With a deep sigh, Jung Hyun-woo checked his face in the mirror above the sink.
Dark circles under such Jung Hyeon-woo’s eyes were thick enough to cross the mountain range of clowns.
‘I’m dying, I’m dying.’
It was the result of the recent forced march by Jung Hyeon-woo.
It is a work that takes the soul out of the long live broadcast, but it is a situation where the game is repeated without a break to investigate the power of the meteorite without stopping there.
‘People are dying, characters are dying… … .’
In that situation, the final blow was the fact that the quest put the character on the back of a 15-day time bomb.
‘Really, what kind of game do you make like this? If this is the case, how many times do you have to retry? It’s not even a package game.’
It means that you will die from exhaustion and exhaustion, but you will not be able to rest.
‘Why the hell do you make a game like this to harass people… … .’
“Ugh.”
After getting ready to go to the capsule room, Hyeon-Woo Jung came out of the bathroom and Tae-Woo Jeong greeted him.
“What’s wrong with your face?”
“Why is my face?”
“Aren’t you tired as if you stayed up all night after being dumped by your girlfriend?”
At Jung Tae-woo’s analogy, instead of answering, Jung Hyeon-woo put on an annoyed expression, and at that expression, Jung Tae-woo smiled and said,
“It’s a joke, a joke. There’s no way you’ll have a girlfriend on your face.”
“If I set my mind to dating a girl, I can date her, but Hyerin is holding back to feed her.”
“You know what you say doesn’t sound convincing, right? If you know, sit down and eat.”
At those words, Jeong Hyeon-woo sat down at the table as if he couldn’t think of anything to refute.
Then, the freshly baked toast and the fragrant coffee aroma melted Jung Hyun-woo’s tiredness a little.
“I remember the old days. When I was in high school, the days when I trained hard, I always had coffee on toast.”
“Was it?”
“I thought I was going to die of hunger. If I hadn’t been in the position of receiving pocket money back then, I would have overturned the table.”
At the words that followed, Jung Tae-woo frowned instead of answering, and Jung Hyun-woo, who finally succeeded in giving him a shot, changed the subject of the conversation as if he was satisfied.
“Rather than that, how is your brother these days? Is the job worth doing?”
“You are doing what you are doing.”
Jeong Tae-woo, who was talking, sipped the coffee cup in his left hand and tapped the laptop keyboard with his right hand.
“Do you pay a lot?”
“Above average.”
“Above average? major company?”
“It’s not a large company, it’s a startup, but I heard that it’s gaining popularity among the Wars Tube channels recently.
At those words, Jung Hyeon-woo smiled inwardly.
‘Oh, my mouth is itching.’
No matter how popular they are, they probably aren’t the only rising star channels they belong to.
“Although hackers stick to it more than popularity.”
Jung Hyeon-woo tilted his head at his older brother’s words at that time.
“hacker? You mean there are hackers on the Warstube channel too?”
“I stick to wherever there is money. That’s why people like me get jobs.”
After saying that, Jung Hyun-woo rolled his eyes a couple of times at the sight of his older brother tapping the keyboard again.
“Wordstube channels are suffering. I’ve never heard of players getting their money from selling God Wars items hacked.”
Words that are spat out as if it’s nothing.
“That kind of money cannot be hacked, but it can be tracked when the amount is large.”
“Tracking?”
“If you return to your country without paying taxes, the National Tax Service will track you down, and if you return to your country by paying taxes properly, even the general public will know. why? Are you going to put even 1 billion in your bank account?”
“You know my personality, right? Even if you put that kind of money in, you secretly eat it. Will you tell my brother?”
Tae-woo Jeong looked at the keyboard without even giving a glance at the younger brother who laughed at the end of what he said.
‘I would have been in big trouble if I had just put the money into my account without paying taxes.’
In the midst of his brother’s indifference, Jeong Hyeon-woo let out a deep, very deep sigh of relief.
‘Oh, it’s full of headaches.’
The moment when Jung Hyeon-woo’s head becomes complicated in many ways.
Ugh!
What saved him was an email that arrived on his smartphone.
‘This is a meeting request.’
Jung Hyun-woo, who quickly checked the contents of the e-mail, made up his mind briefly.
‘I should explain the circumstances rather than worrying about what happened anyway.’
Then, he replied and got up from his seat.
“Brother, I’m going to work.”
Jung Tae-woo turned his head at the sight of his younger brother quickly disappearing.
It was then.
ding!
A message appeared in the lower right corner of Jeong Tae-woo’s laptop screen.
[Preparing for a meeting with the VVIP.]
Jung Tae-woo, who saw that, focused on the screen.
‘I don’t know who the VVIP is, but he seems to be a man who really receives a lot of attention from the world. Seeing that there are so many eyes rushing at me.’
Soon Tae-Woo Jeong took his stance.
So the two brothers started working.
3.
“Whoa.
Midas, who chartered the vast crater alone, started jumping lightly from the spot.
‘Relax relax.’
I organized my thoughts in that jump.
‘Currently, the most important task to look at is survival.’
what you need to do right now.
In that sense, it was clear what Midas had to do and what he had to prepare for.
‘First of all, negotiating with the Explorers Guild is the priority.’
Among them, negotiating with those who control the main NPCs in each area of the explorer guild.
If the Explorers Guild was determined to interfere, it was clear that it would be a real headache.
‘At that time, if I said ‘I don’t know’ and went head-to-head with the explorer’s guild, it would have been a big deal.’
The moment when the choice made during the meteorite impact field raid becomes a godsend.
‘Still, given the nature of the explorers’ guild, if you ask for help, they’ll never help you for free.’
Of course, Midas had no idea that the explorers’ guild would repay the favor because of the favor at the time.
Because the Explorers Guild was never like that.
‘It’s important. I need to explain clearly to the boss and get help.’
In many ways, the president of Rising Star Channel needs help.
‘Surely. Let’s talk as soon as we chat.’
In my head, while waiting for the boss to come, a chat came up on the chat window.
[Wharton: Sorry for the delay. While tidying up the surroundings.]
“Things to say…….
The moment Midas was about to say something in that chat, the chat came up without a break.
[Wharton: I will report the current situation.]
[Wharton: The conversation with the Explorers Guild is over. They said they would not interfere or intervene in BJ Grand Mage’s activities in the desert. I also accepted the contract.]
As soon as he saw the chat, Midas closed the door he had opened with determination.
‘huh?’
Meanwhile, as if seeing Midas’ face, the president of the Rising Star channel posted a new chat.
[Wharton: Anything to say?]
“No, wait a minute. So you can ignore the Explorers Guild and do whatever you want in the desert?”
[Wharton: Yes.]
The definite answer came again.
Even so, Midas couldn’t accept the situation right away.
‘really? What can I do?’
As such, the words spoken now were very unconventional by Midas standards.
“It doesn’t matter if you steal the boss mob that the explorer guild caught within the explorer line, right?”
He was so surprised that he brought out the most unconventional example in his opinion.
The answer came to such an example of Midas.
[Wharton: Do you really think so?]
He seems to have taken Midas’ words seriously.
“Oh, I just heard an example.”
Midas hurriedly glosses over the situation.
On the one hand, I wondered.
‘No, but why all of a sudden?’
How was he able to plan something like this when he didn’t even explain his situation to the Rising Star channel?
‘Have you hidden a wiretapping device in our house? Should I just ask?’
I couldn’t stand the question, so now, the moment I tried to ask myself, a new chat came up.
[Wharton: That’s why, we’ve planned a live broadcast to take advantage of this opportunity.]
[Wharton: We don’t have to worry about being disturbed by the Explorers’ Guild, so we’re going to tour like the meteorite impact field last time. With a famous guild. Of course, the cost of the tour is charged.]
[Wharton: If a meteorite show is added, everyone will want to participate in the tour. There can be no better issue than this.]
Only then did Midas understand the context more clearly.
‘Yes, you got the explorer’s guild’s consent for this project.’
That Rising Star Channel worked hard for the next broadcast.
‘It wouldn’t have been easy to convince the explorers guild kids…….’
And that he really put in a lot of effort for that.
‘I was really lucky.’
For Midas, it was luck.
‘If I hadn’t signed a contract with the Rising Star Channel… … .’
Of course, that heavenly luck was nothing else but the Rising Star Channel.
If the Rising Star Channel hadn’t planned this kind of luck, it would have been impossible to even expect it.
[Wharton: Can we proceed as it is?]
So when the question came up, Midas answered without hesitation.
“Don’t do things like that in the future.”
The chat window became quiet at those sudden words.
Midas spoke towards the chat window.
“You don’t have to ask me, just make a short notice after planning.”
‘I’ll do everything with all my might!’
Then, a chat came up in the chat window that had been quiet.
[Wharton: I’ll keep that in mind.]
The meeting ended with that, and Midas sputtered to himself in the chat window that soon became empty.
“Kya, this line is cool even from my point of view.”
There was no more worry on Midas’ face.
“Guys, let’s go to the desert!”
4.
– Don’t work like that in the future. You don’t have to ask me, just make a short notice after planning.
After that conversation, the moment the chatting ended, what popped into Park Young-joon’s head was what the BJ archmage had said earlier.
‘Steel the boss monster that the explorer guild catches in the explorer line… … .’
Words that would normally be thought of as a joke.
However, the BJ master mage Park Young-joon knew was different.
That was a clear statement.
‘Looks like the Explorers Guild has built up its anger properly.’
Expression that he is very angry with the explorer guild right now.
‘Maybe there was a point of contact with the Explorers Guild, but that may have collapsed.’
Or it could be an expression of betrayal.
The reason why Park Young-joon thought so was because of the next remark.
‘That’s why he might have said that.’
In the future, do not ask yourself any questions, just act independently and report.
‘Otherwise, there is a problem within BJ Archmage’s team.’
Furthermore, Park Young-joon had in mind the possibility that BJ Grand Mage could not trust his colleagues inside him.
It wasn’t too much.
[Currently, I knocked on the firewall in eight places.]
[It is recommended to end the communication within 1 minute and 22 seconds.]
Even Park Young-joon doesn’t trust his colleagues right now, so isn’t he privately hiring an expert to talk to the BJ master mage?
It was bound to happen the bigger the board and the bigger the stake.
‘Now the real game begins.’
In other words, this means that the game has just begun.
‘If you believe in me, I have to repay you.’
And it also meant that BJ Grand Mage trusted Park Young-joon more than anyone else in that situation.
Park Young-jun, who had reached that fact, smiled.
‘Then, since I got permission, shall we start the auction?’
