Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 263

< War God Returned to Level 2 Episode 263 >

World Battle.net Federation building located in New York.

In a conference room located on the third basement floor there.

Heads of the Battle.net Association from various countries around the world gathered.

“Are there a total of 8 countries that received messages from the Battle.net system… … .”

“I heard that I was selected up to the 8th place in the national rankings last year. Really.”

“Did everyone keep their secrets well?”

Let’s look around with a cautious expression, the representative of the American Battle.net Association.

Representatives from various countries all nodded with serious faces.

“yes. of course.”

“I reported it to the government, but they were more careful there.”

“Of course it should. Talking about ‘bonuses’ for no reason can get tiring.”

Representatives of associations from each country recalled what had happened a few days ago as they talked.

The day when the human team won the battle against the Balaur and happily won 3 league victories.

[The first three matches in the Space League are all over.]

[From now on, bonuses will be given to all races to progress in the league smoothly.]

People could see these system messages.

However, unlike the general public who only saw these two lines.

[Select a bonus item.]

[The right to select a bonus item is given to the countries ranked 1st to 8th in the previous year’s Champions League rankings.] An

additional message to select a bonus item popped up in the heads of associations.

‘I did well last year.’

‘It’s a huge authority.’

‘I’m glad I was able to cruise through the Champions League last year thanks to the Sword King.’

Including the US and China, which compete for 1st and 2nd place every time.

In 2021, the head of the Japanese Battle.net Association, who had not been able to perform well, was able to attend this secret meeting because the standard was the previous year’s performance.

“Did you see the bonus items?”

“Sure.”

“There were so many good things.”

“An additional increase in player experience or an increase in the chance of creating a gift… … They are all necessary items for our humanity.”

“but… … .”

The presidents of the eight countries looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

“For these items, isn’t efficiency the most important thing?”

“Yes. Bonus items that apply to everyone are somehow ineffective.”

“Battlenet is a game that is played by selecting a small number of elites after all. These bonuses also require selection and concentration.”

The right to select bonus items that will be applied to mankind.

There were more than a dozen options given to association presidents from Battle.net.

Options that apply to all of them, such as a +30% experience bonus or a 10% chance to create a gift.

It would be nice to have it, but it wasn’t a condition that would greatly improve the players.

“that’s right. Rather than that, ‘National Bonus Enhancement’ seems to be the best option… … .”

“Shouldn’t leading nations continue to lead mankind?”

Rather than that, what the heads of associations from eight countries paid attention to was the option to strengthen bonuses belonging to countries.

This option gives differential bonuses to players belonging to a country according to the country’s ranking.

In addition to increasing the experience and GP acquisition rate, various other benefits were given.

“That’s right. When I did the math, even the top 20 countries benefited greatly.”

“ah. By the way, is the Japanese representative going to do that? After this year, the rankings will not improve. After the sword king left, aren’t your grades poor these days?”

“haha… … ! The Chinese representative is exaggerating. Aren’t grades good or bad? No matter how difficult it is lately, we can keep our top 20 in the world rankings.”

“aha. Is that so? Good luck then.”

The president of the Japanese association is furious at the smirking of the Chinese association president.

Still, everyone was in favor of strengthening the national bonus.

“Hmmmm. Then, some opinions came together.”

“In strengthening the national bonus… … Don’t you all disagree?”

“yes. That’s right.”

The eight representatives looked at each other and nodded.

The option was decided quickly, probably because it was pre-coordinated to some extent before entering the conference room.

but.

“then… … We will have to wait for him.”

The secret meeting is not over yet.

A bonus item that will apply to all of humanity.

[There is a player belonging to the upper zone ‘Space 4’ area.]

[Player ‘Seongjihan’ will also be given an additional selection option.]

[Select a bonus item to facilitate league progress!]

This selection right is the Holy Land Because Han also had it.

and soon

smart.

“I am the last one.”

The door to the meeting room opened and Seong Ji-han stepped inside.

* * *

‘I was wondering why the national bonus was so strengthened after the Battle.net main game… … .’

Was the reason here?

Seong Ji-han recalled that he finished in 7th place in the rankings even though he was the actual ace of the United States in his previous life.

Barron, who was ranked #1, was hard to beat because of the 2 status window gift.

The rankers below him could have won with Seong Ji-han’s performance, but he couldn’t win because of his former nationality.

At that time, I thought that this was very unreasonable seeing that the rankings couldn’t go up no matter how active I was.

‘The position has changed now.’

Although in the previous life, Korea’s rankings had gone downhill and eventually collapsed due to a dungeon portal.

It was different this time.

Korea in 2021 of this life, far from being in danger of destruction.

It was a superpower that was thought to be able to look at the 3rd or 4th place in the Battle.net world ranking.

Korea to be a beneficiary, not a victim, of ‘strengthening the national bonus’.

And what caused this to happen.

“Sacred player. Are you here?!”

It was also with Sung Ji-han.

As soon as he entered, the heads of the associations of the 8 countries all at once rose from the conference hall.

“You played a big role in defeating the dragon in the last match… … I was really impressed.”

“Thanks to the player who won 3 consecutive wins in the Space League.”

“Have you looked at the bonus options? I would like to hear the opinion of a holy player.”

They approached Seong Ji-han and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

This is also the case with the heads of associations in Japan and China, who have had an uncomfortable atmosphere with him.

It was as if he looked like a superior to the presidents of the association.

‘Sung Ji-han can’t compete as a player. It is a transcendent existence.’

‘I have to plant a good image unconditionally.’

‘To beat the dragon so one-sidedly… … How could a human do that?’

The reason for such a low profile was the aftermath of the last match.

Seong Ji-han, who unilaterally overpowered the Balaur, who wiped out the human team in one game, unilaterally in four games.

The strength he showed then made people no longer consider him a competitor.

It just made me awestruck by being out of the question.

Sung Ji-han looked at them for a while before opening his mouth.

“It seems that the heads of associations have shared opinions about the bonus option in advance.”

“ah. yes. There were things we talked about.”

“that… … The ‘National Bonus Enhancement Option’ seemed the best.”

“It’s a national bonus… … Is that better than the other options?”

Swoop.

Let’s take a look at the presidents of Seong Ji-han.

Representatives from the United States and China, who will benefit the most from the national bonus, quickly opened their mouths.

“Of course, there were bonuses that focused on the top players among the options, but… … Calculated, this is less efficient than the country bonuses received by the top 20 countries.”

“Wouldn’t Korea, where Seong Ji-han belongs, see a significant rise in the rankings this year? When the rankings are completed again this year, you will be able to enjoy the effects of the national bonus.”

“A national bonus would be a win-win option for everyone!”

The two normally snarling national representatives work together to persuade Seong Ji-han.

Although this was also an attempt by countries with vested interests to collude and solidify it.

‘Now that I’m in a position to choose an option, I understand. Compared to others, the national bonus efficiency is too good.’

Country bonuses, although the benefits are concentrated in the top-ranked countries.

In terms of selection and concentration, efficiency was the best.

In addition, Korea was a country that did not benefit from the previous life.

Because now Korea, where Seong Ji-han is located, has been able to fully enjoy the benefits of the national bonus.

Even if we agree with them here, there is nothing to lose like last time.

Rather, it remains only to benefit from the national bonus.

but.

“I would like it to be decided at this option selection public meeting.”

Seong Ji-han, who has the right to choose a bonus option, chose to disclose rather than agree in a closed room.

“Open meeting… … You mean?”

“yes.”

“That’s a bit… … Won’t it cause problems? It won’t work out at its best.”

“I would definitely object to making a decision with a national bonus in a low-ranking country… … !”

The presidents of the association express concern about Seong Ji-han’s words.

That’s right, only up to 20 countries benefit from the country bonus.

The rest of the country was a loss compared to other bonus options.

But if you go into a public meeting and show these option conditions and choose to strengthen the national bonus.

Will other countries stand still?

‘Why the hell are you trying to reveal this permission?’

‘I don’t understand. It’s a proposal that will benefit both Korea and yourself… … .’

‘Are you going to do a top-level focused enhancement option? It would be hard to pass if it was put on a majority vote.’

The presidents of the association gently persuaded Seong Ji-han with smiles on the outside, but inside they were boiling.

Leaders at the top have to make wise choices.

If it is disclosed, it is clear that a bonus with low efficiency will be selected according to the interests of each country… … .

Why are you doing that?

“When it goes public, they will tell you to choose the option that benefits everyone.”

“Gift appearance rate increased by 10% or additional experience increased… … These are too inefficient compared to national bonuses. If the sacred player is now ranked number 1 and gets banned, other human players should also grow up quickly and play their part… … What would happen if you chose that option?”

“No one knows now that you can ‘choose’ these options. If we come to an agreement and move on, there will be no problem.”

Although they appealed to Seong Ji-han so earnestly.

“Then shall we turn on the Battle Tube right here?”

“Oh no. Why are you doing that… … !?”

“This is not just for us. The National Bonus is the most efficient option for getting through the Space League!”

“I know. But let’s make it public.”

“Oh no… … .”

Sung Ji-han’s attitude was firm.

‘I also tried to choose the national bonus until I got on the plane.’

In my previous life, I was in a position where I lost due to a national bonus.

It was definitely a gain this time, so Sung Ji-han, who was going to choose this at first.

-ah. Seong Ji-han. see the message?

But he’s on the plane.

-The last time you promised to make a prophecy for free. You just passed by, but I can’t just pass by.

He changed his mind after hearing the prophecy of Pythia, a servant of the god of war.

-Share the bonus option item you received this time around the world. Then a new option will appear.

– And that… … I’ll save you later

‘Bonus… … Are you saying you’re saving me?’

What option is there to save lives?

Seong Ji-han, who was curious, instead of making a secret room agreement with the national bonus.

“Let’s go public.”

He strongly advocated for public meetings.

And in the end, the presidents of the 8 countries looked at each other as if they couldn’t understand.

“… … All right.”

In the end, I had no choice but to follow his opinion.
