The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 106

Episode 106

‘Then should I get up soon?’

I’ve had enough of feeling nostalgic and feeling sentimental in the square.

The original purpose of coming to Mira was something else, so I was planning on going to run errands.

While I was slowly walking, the atmosphere of the square changed suddenly.

“hey! A great announcement has been made. Check it out quickly!”

“The academy exam syllabus has been released!”

The once bustling square suddenly became quiet and the players stopped moving with their eyes facing straight ahead.

And what fills the square is a strange heat. As players read notices and articles on the augmented reality screen, an unusual energy was flowing out.

‘Eek.’

Raoul somehow sensed an unknown crisis and quickly left the square. and.

“Wow! “Awesome!!”

“Fuck, I got goosebumps!”

“This is not the time. “I have to go hunting hunting!”

“We are disbanding Wild Dog Pot. “Who wants to go catch the thorn wolf!”

“Uh, what should I do? “What should I do?”

“Wait a minute, guys. “I’m going to submit my vacation report to that company!”

The square was in chaos.

Everyone began to move hastily as if they were being chased by something, and in the area where the lodgings were gathered, dozens of players who had logged in in a hurry were running towards the square like wild boars that had been hit.

Raoul stood aside at the edge of the road and watched happily, whistling.

‘Is the response good? ‘Work hard.’

After the commotion subsided, Raoul headed toward the shopping district.

The destination was a huge blacksmith belonging to the First Guild.

“Welcome. I heard about it from Master. “You want all types of basic weapons made in our workshop?”

“Yes, it is.”

The chief blacksmith took a quick look at Bae Do-hyeon’s body and said.

“Can I take a look at your hands?”

“Yes, as much as you want.”

Bae Do-hyeon’s outstretched hand was severely deformed due to calluses and blisters that repeatedly burst and healed.

The blacksmith looked down at it, nodded and said.

“It doesn’t look like it’s meant to be used for decoration. Follow me. “You have to fine-tune the grip and guard to fit your hand well.”

When I followed him into the warehouse inside the workshop, various weapons were displayed side by side on a wide table, as if they had been prepared in advance.

Swords, spears, axes, maces, daggers, bows and even crossbows.

“These products are the basic products of our workshop. “How is it?”

Raoul lifted the sword and examined it closely, scanning the blade and flicking it with his hand, then said with a slight smile.

“It’s okay. I like it. But you must have received it properly from the Master, right?”

Then the chief blacksmith’s eyes brightened slightly, and he came closer and whispered quietly.

“of course. The shape and material are the same as the basic product, but it is a top-grade product made by the best workers in our workshop, working hard day and night. On the outside, it won’t be much different from other items. And as you said, the logo of the newly created guild was clearly engraved on each product.”

The GH (Golden Hawk) logo, which was derived from the initials of the guild emblem, the Golden Hawk, was elegantly engraved on the top of the blade close to the handle.

The guild logo was always engraved on the ax blade, spear, mace handle, and bow.

“Isn’t this really cool? “In the near future, many people will come to us wanting to have weapons with this logo on them.”

“Is that so? After you’re done looking, try measuring it properly. “It’s going to take a while to fine-tune all of this.”

The place Raoul headed after leaving the blacksmith shop was the leather workshop.

Likewise, I met with the workshop manager, took measurements, and got an armor set made of ‘red maned wolf’ leather.

The red leather armor with a luxurious golden logo on the chest felt something different despite its simple structure.

Raoul thought as he left the workshop with a satisfied expression.

‘As this is an event where videos will be broadcast all over the world, shouldn’t we promote it properly?’

A brand culture has not yet taken root in Connect. So it was clear that the only weapons and armor with proper logos would catch the player’s attention.

‘If I want to be on the air for a long time, I need to do better.’

Anyway, no player would be able to defeat Raoul dressed as Bae Do-hyun.

While Raoul was making his own preparations, the fire he had ignited was burning out of control and was threatening to engulf people all over the world.

[Decided to specially select 16 people out of 600 selected for First Guild Academy….]

[Fight! Get it! Unlimited tournament “Battle” for academy admission tickets. Simultaneous live broadcast confirmed around the world!]

[Connect Academy Co., Ltd. has decided to provide round-trip portal tickets to Mira to all applicants.]

-Everyone is so upset~~!!

-Yes, an event like this was necessary.

-Kkkkkk. This is the entrance exam system just for me.

└Okay. We reserved 584 seats for you.

└Fluttering is a must!

-Hey, but if you think about it, isn’t this really awesome? Live broadcast around the world! If you win, you will instantly become a superstar.

└Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk The star of this game with 10,000 users… It’s so funny that I punch my stomach.

└I slap my forehead in shock at the fact that there are idiots who don’t recognize God God Game, which has tens of millions of people waiting to connect.

└It is being broadcast live around the world, but you cannot see it on terrestrial channels. Cut by the Korea Communications Standards Commission. And on cable, it is rated for ages 19 and older.

└Who watches TV these days? You can watch it as an internet broadcast.

-I’m sorry for swearing at the management. Thanks to you, I also submitted my application. If I go to Mira this time, I don’t plan on coming back even if I fall.

└Master’s silent prayer. Those who fail will be forcibly repatriated after the entrance exam.

└Oh my gosh~

└Is there anything given or taken away? It would be better not to be sent. ㅜㅜ

└Anyway, isn’t it fortunate that everyone is given a chance? Although it’s sad that we have to fight the entrance exam war here too…

– But I wonder if the viewership ratings will come out. To be honest, no matter how fast and slow the game league has been, the viewer ratings haven’t been that high, right?

└It’s just my opinion, but I don’t think you should think of it as just a game. Honestly, look at the video, it’s not graphics, it’s just live action.

└Yes, it is a similar sport. Those who keep insisting that games are sports should just wipe their feet and go to sleep.

└It smells. It smells. The smell of Toto bugs~

└I thought it would be different this time. Honestly, if you think about the annual game market sales, it is true that it has already grown to the point where it threatens existing sports. And you don’t just click the mouse, you move your body. Should we continue to ignore this as a game?

└The Korean Mom Unit hates this comment.

There was a lot of talk in the community about various controversies.

And there was someone who looked at the community’s reaction with cold eyes.

bang!

“I’m still weak! “This doesn’t raise enough issues!”

Chae Il-hwan, the head of the operations division, said, slamming his hand down on the whiteboard.

“Mobilize all employees and light up the community bulletin board! The content doesn’t matter. You can put a frame on it, or you can cause chaos. Make people fight each other! I don’t mind leaving critical comments about the game if necessary. All we need now is ‘attention’ and only ‘attention’. Mobilize reporters and release part-time workers to make sure the bulletin board is on fire!”

“Oh, I understand!”

The auditorium, now converted into an emergency situation room, was lined with dozens of computers, and some employees from each department were stationed 24 hours a day to check the community’s response.

There are only 5 days left until the academy entrance exam.

Director Chae Il-hwan was always in the situation room, controlling the entire situation, as if he had forgotten to leave work.

‘Even though the plan was dealt a blow, I can’t be dragged around by NPCs. ‘It’s said that it’s an issue that not even the CEO but the higher ups are interested in.’

After urging the employees a few days ago, General Manager Chae Il-hwan had a chance to talk separately with CEO Mok-woo Mo.

What I heard on the spot was the fact that this plan came through the chairman, not him, and that he was interested in a person named Bae Do-hyun.

‘There’s something unusual about the Chairman, who had been shrouded in mystery, coming forward.’

And the person named ‘Bae Do-hyun’ mentioned by the president seemed to need to be looked at carefully.

‘If it’s something that a no-frills person did…’

The report in Chae Il-hwan’s hand was crumpled.

But right now, it’s time to prove your abilities by making the plan a success.

“Bulletin board management team! How are the preparations for the integrated bulletin board going?”

“We are definitely ready. “We have also completed server expansion in preparation for any unexpected situation.”

“great. Planning Team Promotion Team! Are you ready for ‘that’?”

“Data collection and organization has been completed.”

“The PR team is also ready.”

Clap clap.

Chae Il-hwan applauded and attracted people’s attention.

“Now, we are entering the second phase of the operation. This will definitely grab people’s attention! Launch a bulletin board and post announcements!”

“All right!”

The team leaders simultaneously raised their smartphones and gave instructions, and the technicians followed the prepared sequence.

And a notice was posted along with a second promotional video that shook the community.

[Connect Co., Ltd. announces the second official promotional video related to ‘Contest’]

An empty training hall. Above him, a double-sworded knight with two swords in each hand was standing with his eyes closed. A golden falcon was engraved on the blue cloak he wore.

His identity is Dalton de Templeton. He was a senior knight of the First Knights.

The moment he opened his eyes, people armed with various weapons and armor appeared in the empty training hall.

With shouts, people swing their weapons at each other, and those surrounding Dalton attack him at the same time.

Dalton moved his dual swords in spectacular dance-like movements and dealt with enemies around him.

Meanwhile, another training ground.

What appeared this time was Jake, the vice-captain of the First Knights, holding a large sword.

Likewise, enemies appeared around him and attacked Jake, and Jake vigorously swung his great sword and blew away the enemies.

After a while.

Dalton and Jake, standing face to face with blood-stained weapons, began to engage in a great showdown on the training ground.

And as the confrontation scene gets further and further away, it appears on top of a small hill.

There were hundreds of knights wearing pure white armor and blue capes.

Mounted on white horses, they put one arm across their chest and saluted the man at the front of the line.

The person who slowly turned around with his horse was none other than Raoul de Ashton. He was the master of the First Guild.

The camera closes up, showing Raoul’s sculptural face.

“Do you want to be the main character?”

Raoul, expressionless, asked calmly.

Slurp.

As Raoul pulls out his sword, the knights also pull out their weapons at once.

“Fight. And get it!”

Soon, the knights in a wedge-shaped formation follow Raoul as he rides away.

The formation of the Orc army encamped at the bottom of the hill collapses helplessly due to the knights’ breakthrough.

The knights’ blue cloak flutters, and the golden hawk symbol flashes across the screen.

-「Controversy」

– You too can become the main character.

That’s how the second promotional video ended.
