《BJ Archmage》Chapter 19: Well, Let’s Do It! (3)
Advertisement
Kim Minsoo, who created everything in God Wars, spoke.
I wanted to make a game that would give more to those who enjoy the game more deeply.
That was the rune system.
Kim Minsoo’s intention worked properly.
As he thought, God Wars gave more merit to those who dug the game well.
To the point where there was no other game that gave satisfaction to people who were really better at gaming than others, who spent more money in the game than others, or who were luckier than others.
‘I knew it was a fucking lucky-ass game.’
Midas was also well aware of the fact.
[Midas]
But, Midas, who now saw his updated stats window, had no choice but to admit.
‘I didn’t know it was this much.’
God Wars was more than the game that he thought.
Midas’ eyes turned towards the list of titles he earned from the hunt.
*T/L Note: There was a wrong translation from TL, the former was ‘future,’ but after looking for it furthermore 신수 also has a meaning of spiritual beast, and it fits the context better.
There were so many titles that it was hard to see all of them.
‘I expected the Graduated Novice with Goblin Champion Hunter.’
Of course, he knew the existence of these two titles, Goblin Champion Hunter and Graduated Novice titles.
It wasn’t just about knowing those titles.
The two titles were the reason for him to catch the Goblin Champion.
A six-point increase in all skills was similar to raising three or four levels at once.
This merit was indescribable for players below level 10.
‘So ‘Along with the Spiritual Beast’ is also possible to achieve this way.’
The title ‘Along with the Spiritual Beast’ that came next was unexpected but not surprising.
But the solo player title was unexpected.
Even the stat reward was out of the ordinary.
“Whoa…”
Rather than cheering with joy, he looked more burdened.
‘If I didn’t take the relaxing pill, my heart would have burst, and I would have logged out.’
Midas was feeling out of this world on seeing that excellent reward.
Frankly speaking, he’d like to log out, cool his head, and think about the whole situation.
He couldn’t help it.
“Huft.”
‘I can’t believe my heart is shaking because the reward is so good. What the fuck is this?’
A person who has eaten meat before can eat it well.
Much more, Midas couldn’t eat paste porridge well, let alone trying to eat meat. Isn’t he a man who was terrible at enjoying this juicy and delicious meat that arrived at his mouth?
It was strange if you take this situation as it was.
Of course, that’s why he couldn’t avoid meat forever.
‘I’m gonna have to get used to it.’
Midas soothed himself by pressing and massaging his face a couple of times with his hands.
Woof woof!
Lucky gave a refreshing shout to its owner as if to cheer him up.
“Right, Lucky.”
Midas stroked Lucky’s head and spoke.

Then he spoke.
“Now that we’re at it let’s see how much of a lucky-ass game this is.”
With those words, Midas pulled out the opportunity he had received from the War Dragon.
Midas shouted while approving the notification.
“Legendary skill, let’s go!”
Woof!
Lucky also shouted at his shout.
A hundred cards appeared before Midas’ eyes.
‘There’s no gold.’
Of course, there was no legendary class.
‘There’s no red, as well.’
And there was no unique class.
All he saw were yellow cards that didn’t even reach the golden color.
Midas grumbled at the fact.
“As expected, it was a lucky-ass game. You should get at least one legendary skill out of here. You don’t know what game is.”
Woof!
Of course, it wasn’t a heartfelt grumble.
Instead, Midas’ facial expression was clearly a satisfaction.
It was none other than one rare class skill card that made him satisfied.
‘We’re going to secure ice magic with it.’
The best advantage of an Archmage is that they were not limited by the characteristic of the hunting ground by using the magic of all attributes.
In that sense, the Ice Arrow skill was a skill that would help Midas take a step towards becoming a real Archmage.
‘I’ll need to practice to be able to use it.’
Of course, Midas, who had been typically using the throwing ball style magic, needed some practice in properly using Arrow magic, but Ice Arrow was a skill worth it.
Obviously, Midas chose the skill card without hesitation.
Midas had a much more relaxed look because it was precisely what he wanted, something with a standard that fit him.
He also showed his composure.
“If this were a live broadcast, I’d have tried it here. Making a bet with the viewers. If I pick a rare card, I’ll have to do a handstand and show a twerking dance here.”
Woof!
“Then the sponsorship will just explode, and then I’ll give it a reaction.”
Woof!
Midas made a joke at Lucky.
At that moment, Midas shook his head with a bitter smile.
“…Huft, I’m talking nonsense in front of a dog.”
Live broadcast.
It was a symbol of a star player.
Famous star players even take the salaries of employees at large companies in just one day just by turning on live broadcasting and talking to viewers.
Obviously, Midas has also had countless imaginations of being a broadcasting jockey and having such enormous wealth.
‘If we do a live broadcast, we’ll end the game.’
But, live broadcasting was not that easy.
First of all, he lacked recognition.
God Wars had to use only a platform called WarTube, but it was impossible to stand out within that platform right now.
Of course, the first few viewers can be secured to some extent.
‘As soon as I turn on the live broadcast and catch the boss, all sorts of people will come to disturb me.’
The problem was that only a few viewers had a gorgeous, noble, and generous heart.

This time was like that too.
If Midas live broadcasted the process of his hunt for the Goblin Champion.
There must have been quite a few donations.
But, many more intruders would have come at him.
‘Let’s just sell the video.’
For Midas, it was best to sell the live video in a suitable place and share the profits.
Of course, it wasn’t without a way.
‘I might get a full set of unique items, and when the stream snipers come in, I’ll be done for. I wouldn’t be able to fight off all of them at this stage.’
But if he had enough power to turn even the intruders into prey, the show’s popularity would increase.
That was the biggest reason Midas gave up on live broadcasting right now.
Because Midas didn’t have the resources to plaster his equipment window with unique items right now. He had no means of deterrence against anyone who wanted to try their hand to steal his stuff.
‘That’s it for the bullshit, and let’s do looting. Let’s start with the living expenses.’
The reality is that even the unique items obtained by hunting the Goblin Champion should be sold for living expenses and capsule room fees.
‘I’m so glad. I don’t have to worry about the living expense for a month.’
And Midas was more than thankful for the reality.
He sincerely appreciated that he could continue his life with his brother and nephew right away with the monster he caught, and after standing in front of the Goblin Champion, he raised his palm on its dead body and spoke.
Few of the people who played God Wars played it for more than two hours in a row.
For this reason, the lounge in the capsule room was always crowded with people who logged out for a while.
Of course, the reasons they were logging out were different.
It was not difficult to guess the reason.
“Ah, the coffee tastes delicious.”
“Ah, damn it.”
The reason for the logout of those who were relaxed while eating sweet chocolate bars with coffee and those who smoked and spit out swearing words could be understood without asking questions.
But Jung Hyunwoo was different.
“Ah…”
His short sighing face showed signs of agony.
As if something was not working out.
“Ah.”
However, whenever he checked something on his smartphone, his face was full of energy.
It was hard to know how he felt just by looking at his face.
“Hyung, is something wrong?”
Eventually, Lee Hyukjoo asked the question directly.
Jung Hyunwoo nodded lightly at the question.
“What’s going on?”
“Money related.”
At the brief reply, Lee Hyukjoo nodded and then turned his back on him.
“Ah, I’m just gonna clean up.”
Then, he showed a willingness to clean up, even though he was not good at it.
Jung Hyunwoo once again checked his smartphone without looking back at him.
‘Goblin Champion’s mask is 1.1 million won.’
What he checked was none other than the Goblin Champion’s mask, one of the Goblin Champion’s set items.
1.1 million won.
The price was beyond common sense for a unique item worn at level 10.
‘Good things are expensive.’
In other words, it was such a good item.
To the point where it’s better to wear this one item than three or four other rare items.
Such an item now existed in the inventory of the character Midas.
That was why Jung Hyunwoo’s smile was drawn on his mouth.
But, as soon as Jung Hyunwoo touched his smartphone and checked its contents, his smile disappeared from his mouth.
‘The balance of the bankbook is now 1,000 won.’
It was actually a bank account balance that revealed its bottom line that stole his smile.
‘I can’t even use a minus bank account.’
After that, he continuously thought of his circumstances, and Jung Hyunwoo gave a long sigh as if he was smoking cigarettes.
In Jung Hyun-woo’s head, the Goblin Champion’s mask option was glimmering.
‘It’s such a shame.’
Frankly speaking, Goblin Champion’s mask option was too great to be sold like this.
‘If I had enough money, I could use it before I sell it.’
If he had enough money to spare, he would have used it without worrying.
It wasn’t exactly strange.
If a better item came out after using it properly, he could get enough money even if he sold it then.
In fact, most players were like that.
When a good item came out, he used it as much as possible and sold it when the item had lived up to his needs and expectations.
That was the norm. The problem is, as he had repeatedly said, that money was urgently needed.
And there was not a single corner where the money would come from Jung Hyunwoo’s situation.
‘Should I take a private loan?’
‘I’m going crazy.’
Of course, Jung Hyunwoo knew better than anyone how stupid it was to take a private loan because of this thing.
In reality, it always required negotiation and compromise in making a living.
‘Ah, I just want someone to give me some money all of a sudden.’
Nevertheless, as Jung Hyunwoo repeatedly touched the smartphone’s screen because he still had some regret, suddenly, the smartphone began to ring.
Jung Hyunwoo immediately pressed the call button.
“Yes, this is Jung Hyunwoo.”
A weak voice came from Jung Hyunwoo’s throat when he answered the phone.
“Yes?”
However, the situation soon turned around.
Jung Hyunwoo changed his voice and posture.
Then Jung Hyunwoo asked a question.
“So you’re from an insurance company? The car accident?”
As soon as the answer to the question came out right away, Jung Hyunwoo spoke with a smile in his mouth.
“Ah, wait a second. I had an anxiety disorder from the accident. I got a severe anxiety disorder. Just by thinking about it, I have insomnia, mental impact, and trauma. Can I talk to you later? I’m so tired right now…”
After finishing the phone call, Jung Hyunwoo immediately put his smartphone in his pocket and came out of the lounge.
‘These bastards, I’ll get you a good one.”
With the eyes of a hunter who had found his prey.
“Loot.”
