BJ Archmage

Chapter 64 - Live (1)



Chapter 64 - Live (1)

1.

Many rumors started from God Wars.

They were produced continuously in God Wars.

There were too many big rumors, for example, the Urbis guild discovering a new city and Azmo spending almost 1 million dollars on God Wars.

BJ Archmage’s rumor wasn’t any different.

- Do you know what BJ Archmage is doing these days?

└ I don’t know.

BJ Archmage became popular because Azmo was interested in him. In other words, Azmo was the reason for his popularity.

- It seems like Azmo is not interested.

└ Azmo wasn’t interested in anyone except for himself before.

└ He didn’t talk about BJ Archmage in his live channel.

It was obvious that BJ Archmage’s popularity dropped as soon as Azmo stopped caring.

- Big news about BJ Archmage!

└ What’s going on?

└ BJ Archmage went inside Wiga’s mansion.

It became the main topic at that time when BJ Archmage’s popularity was going down.

- I guess he found Wiga’s weapon quest.

- One more Wiga’s weapon will come out.

Therefore, they weren’t that excited about the news.

- He’s definitely fucking rich.

└ What? If he’s rich, he can just buy the weapon.

└ It’s the opposite. He could just buy the weapon, but he paid and got the quest.

└ Oh, that’s right.

They only treated the news as gossip.

- He went to the mansion while being guarded by Wiga’s knights!

However, people gained interest again as the situation was discussed in detail.

- I heard it’s not about Wiga’s weapon quest.

└ Isn’t he the first player who was escorted by the guards?

└ I just watched a video of Wiga’s weapon quest! There’s nothing like being guarded by them!

└ What kind of quest is he doing seriously?

Everyone started to get interested in BJ Archmage again.

And their interests spawned many kinds of rumors.

“Hyunwoo, do you know what kind of quest BJ Archmage is doing now? Don’t get too surprised. Well, BJ Archmage is going to take over Wiga city. He’s going to become a lord of the castle! He’s going to take over the castle!”

There was no explanation needed since even Hyukjoo Lee was gossiping about the ridiculous rumor in front of Hyunwoo Jung.

“I got this information from a credible route. Don’t spread this. Ok? I’m going to be doomed if it spreads.”

BJ Archmage was dumbfounded as the person directly involved.

“Ok, I won’t say anything. Can you set it up so that I can connect the game?”

“Oh, ok! I’ll do it right away.”

Hyunwoo disheveled his hair nervously when Hyukjoo left.

His face was so worried.

‘People like Hyukjoo are ok because they only spread false rumors.’

It was obvious.

‘The problem is… people who actually do something.’

He already found out that some powerful group hired Lola who was quite famous to disturb him.

Are they really going to let BJ Archmage play the game his own way? In this kind of situation where BJ Archmage was getting popular again? In this kind of situation where he was certainly doing something special?

‘There will be no trouble if it was a normal hunt.’

He could ignore them if it was an ordinary situation.

He didn’t have to play with them.

‘But it’s different since it’s a jewel alligator.’

However, he couldn’t do that if it was a very special case, a boss raid.

‘I’m certain that they’re going to tackle me.’

As soon as they find a situation where BJ Archmage hunts a jewel alligator, they will send an assassin and a disrupter.

They did that for a living and were different from Lola.

‘It worked on Lola since she was from the Seven Stars Union, but it will be different if someone else comes after me.’

Moreover, Hyunwoo was lucky because the guild master of the Seven Stars Union had a wide network.

Otherwise, his trick wouldn’t work at all.

‘It’s best not to be caught.’

The best thing was that he didn’t get caught.

The swamp was wide and only Hyunwoo could exactly figure out where and when the boss monster came out.

It wasn’t that impossible not to be caught while hunting.

‘But I can’t just rely on my luck.’

However, he couldn’t relax without any preparation.

‘I can’t just expect that my luck will help me until the end.’

Besides, it was only the beginning.

What if he could catch the jewel alligator without being caught, what about the next time?

Is he going to rely on his luck again?

When he thought about the answer to the question, Hyukjoo shouted towards Hyunwoo.

“Hyunwoo, it’s ready.”

Hyunwoo stood up with a stiff face.

“Ok.”

He didn’t seem to be worried since there were limited choices and what Hyunwoo had to choose was already decided.

Fire and Wind Arrow.

Midas stared at the new skills with a nervous face and smiled unconsciously.

‘I had no idea that I could get these expensive skills.’

The fact that he got them for free from the Rising Star Channel made him smile.

‘I guess the Rising Star Channel is going to support me as their main member.’

It meant that the Rising Star Channel admitted BJ Archmage as their key player.

In baseball, it was like he became a 1-tier and also a starting player.

‘I don’t know who the boss is at the Rising Star Channel, but I’m sure that he has eyes to see and a brilliant brain.’

Midas checked his stats with happiness.

[ Midas ]

- Level: 45

- God: WarDragon

- Job: Archmage

- Stats: Strength (5+298) / HP (5+281) / Intelligence (235+401) / MP (50+339)

The best in his level.

‘My stats are higher than Azmo when he was level 45. That’s certain.’

He stared at his stats that he could confidently talk about.

And when he turned off the stat window, there were Lucky and Gold who were staring at him with their faithful eyes.

Midas smiled more.

‘If I play the game normally and earn a little money even though I’m so prepared, I’m just a moron.’

Soon, Midas looked up to the sky.

It was a clear sky above the swamp.

Then Midas could see something that only he could see.

[ The remaining time until the jewel alligator appears 4:43:13 ]

Midas checked the time and looked around.

There were players playing the game everywhere in the swamp.

‘Some have been following me since the entrance of the swamp.’

He already met some players several times.

‘And those pucks approached the group chasing me.’

There were players who came to the swamp with other intentions.

Midas already saw so many times that there was nothing to trust in God Wars.

‘Even without them, there are so many players who are willing to kill me if possible.’

“Guys.”

Midas talked to the two trustworthy comrades.

“Let’s debut today.”

Woof?

“Pardon me?”

Then Lucky and Gold expressed their doubt.

Midas didn’t continue his words.

‘Even if they try to mess with me, I can’t let them do that easily.’

He only resolved his determination.

‘I’ll show you that you’ll be fucked up if you screw me.’

“How long is it going to take to edit the video? Three days? Can you do it faster?”

“Oh, yea. Of course. Mr. Mustang, you’re our best partner. We’ll try our best to support you.”

“Did you say that you want to live broadcast your channel through us?

It was a normal spectacle at a company before lunchtime.

“How much were Fire Arrow and Wind Arrow for BJ Archmage?

“Wind Arrow was $1,522 and Fire Arrow was $1,312.”

“Thanks.”

His subordinate carefully opened his mouth when Yeongjoon was tapping his tablet after the conversation.

“Excuse me, boss.”

His voice sounded depressed.

He seemed to have something to talk about.

Yeongjoon figured that out and asked, “Why? Do you have something to tell me?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Then why are you in a mood? What is it?”

“Well that is… Um… Don’t you think that we’re his bitch?”

“What? Who?”

“You.”

“Me? Whose? BJ Archmage’s?”

“Yes.”

Yeongjoon just stared at his subordinate without any words with a puzzled face.

“Don’t you think so?”

His subordinate opened his mouth first.

“If we just look at the situation, you only gave something to BJ Archmage and haven’t gotten anything from him. His videos are obvious since he has a contract…… You said it’s for the future, but it’s just being his bitch.”

His words were reasonable.

Yeongjoon nodded instead of raging.

“That’s right.”

“You’re not going to be mad?”

“I won’t be. Being bitch and investing are separated by a thin line. If you invest and screw up, you become their bitch. If you are their bitch and are lucky, you become Warren Buffett.”

Yeongjoon smiled while talking.

“That’s why people like me try so hard to enter a good college and graduate from there even though the tuition fee is fucking crazy.”

He smiled with confidence.

However, his subordinate had a glum look.

Yeongjoon wasn’t wrong, but his subordinate thought that he still looked like BJ Archmage’s bitch.

Then he removed his smile and frowned.

“You seem like you don’t trust me.”

“No, that’s not it…… What BJ Archmage did recently makes me think that he’s not an ordinary person. I think that he’s not going to care about us.”

“Oh, you mean when he was escorted by guards while going to Wiga’s mansion.”

“Yes. Isn’t it extraordinary? Then, do you really think that we can get something from him just because he got bribes from us? Aren’t we just people whom he can use and throw away anytime?”

Yeongjoon shrunk his shoulders.

“I think it’ll be meaningless to explain a fundamental thing, so let me just tell you about my scenario. I think that BJ Archmage has prepared something big. Even if he hasn’t prepared anything, he will do something in the situation where he gets the world’s attention again. Am I right?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“Then what’s going to be next?”

“Well… He recently showed up at the swamp, so I guess he’s going to hunt the boss monster there.”

“Then?”

“He’ll probably give us a video of solo killing the boss monster. We’re already contracted.”

“And?”

“Pardon?”

“And what else do you think he’s going to do? Just a video of solo killing the boss monster? Only about $10,000 is going to be left to him after paying for this and that. He’s BJ Archmage. Huh? He’s BJ” (Note: BJ means ‘Broadcasting Jockey’.)

Only then the subordinate understood Yeongjoon’s scenario and made a surprised look.

“He’s going to do a live broadcast. A hundred percent sure. He already became a hot issue. One more thing is that he’s going to do it through our channel for sure.”

“Our channel?”

“He needs to follow rules if he is working with major channels, but we let him do whatever he wants. We’re a faithful channel. Right? We’re his bitch whom he can use as much as he wants.”

At that time.

“Boss, we got an email from BJ Archmage”, Another subordinate said while looking at a monitor.

“He’s asking if it’s ok to do a live broadcast through our channel.”

At that moment, the subordinate made a shocked face and Yeongjoon deeply smiled at him.

“Hey, where am I from?”

His subordinate didn’t hesitate to answer.

“The Wharton school, sir.”

Yeongjoon finished the conversation with him and said to everyone, “You guys heard everything, so do I need to explain more? Get prepared for the live broadcast!”
