Chapter 147
Episode 147. Sponsorship contract (1)
The reason for telling the secret at the shelter.
To put it mildly, it is because the arena is a stage.
There are really all kinds of skills in the dimensional labyrinth, and so are the skills related to eavesdropping.
In particular, the eavesdropping skill is to the extent that Ran has it.
It’s unlikely, but it could be annoying if a third party secretly listens to it.
Gremory said that he had told several other players the ‘truth’ of the dimensional labyrinth, but the proof was that he hadn’t met any players at the shelter who knew about it.
‘If you don’t know how the board works, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.’
-Do you really need to hide it?
– Yes. What if I heard the story for no reason and the players on the Changchun or Eden side started to make a fuss? At that time, the kids from the S-class clan started looking for the culprit, so it would be annoying if Yoon Taeyang was pointed out.
-If so, who will touch Yoon Taeyang? I don’t think it’s bad to just cool off and release everything.
-Although Taeyang Yoon is an incredibly strong individual, he must be from the lower floors. If you go to the 36th floor, you have to pay attention to him after all. You don’t know if you just look after the S-rank kids and see that?
-If you take the risk of bleeding from the Steel Wolf right away and drive it, you won’t be able to kill it, but you won’t be able to stop it from slowing down.
-I don’t think he’ll do that in Steel Wolf… Anyway, Yoon Taeyang can’t do everything alone.
The sun kicked up with another thought for a moment.
Parching!
The thin ice plate that blocked the flow of mana was shattered at once.
Heavenly Fire (天牢轟步).
Kwalung.
Along with the thunderbolt, the mobile device learned from the cloud dragon, the sun’s body moved like lightning and snatched Rossi.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my sparring with Ran, it’s that you shouldn’t give magical players time to cheat.
Quadduk.
Rossi, who was grabbed by the scruff of the neck, was slammed into the outer wall of the building.
“Are you going to do more?”
Rosie, who was subdued by the sun in the blink of an eye, twitched her eyebrows.
Suddenly, a weak voice escaped from her mouth.
“It is surrender.”
[Player Rossi surrenders.]
[Player Taeyang Yoon has won Dalian.]
[Player Taeyang Yoon has won 3 victories. You can clear the stage.]
After achieving the victory conditions, open the door located in the center of the arena, which is divided into three areas, and enter.
A general stage is an environment in which a player moves directly to the next area when the conditions are met or gives a disadvantage if the stage itself stays.
On the other hand, this is an environment where you can continue to ‘practice’ and ‘train’ even after satisfying the clear conditions.
It’s really a player-friendly environment until the end.
“It must be a bad habit, but like this.”
It’s painful to just go into cold water, but if you go into warm water, you’ll sting your skin.
– What are you worried about? Enjoy it when it’s good.
“is it.”
-Think good. It’s even more difficult if you go from a difficult place to a negative thought.
It’s theoretical, but it’s true.
Taeyang replied with a light nod.
Taeyang looked at his colleagues and asked.
“I want to go up first. Any complaints?”
Balram said that there was a separate stage for the sun on the 24th floor.
Taeyang naturally told the story to his colleagues.
Ran and Salomon Messiah nodded without saying anything else.
“I said it was related to ‘sponsorship’. If that happens, will you get one more S-class skill?”
At Salomon’s question, the sun shrugged.
“maybe? But nothing is confirmed. It’s sponsorship, it’s sleeping, and the conditions have to be right.”
Messiah nodded.
“Well, I’ve already turned down offers of sponsorship several times.”
“But maybe this time… … I think I will.”
-… … Any good suggestions?
At Hyeon-hye’s worried voice, Taeyang muttered as if repeating itself.
“It will be fine. Balaam said that there are many demon lords who are expecting me. There are three demon lords who offered me support last time. If there are more than that, at least one of them will have a good suggestion. And honestly, I’ve only heard about it, but there weren’t any bad suggestions last time, right?”
-That’s right.
I’ve been procrastinating and procrastinating, but now I had to do it.
Delaying it any longer is not a wise decision.
why.
It was because, in Taeyang’s opinion, this was the best ransom.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t do better.
However, it did not seem that the evaluation would change if I did better than now.
Didn’t Arasil, the lord of the storm spirit trapped in the Stormbringer card, speak?
Although it is a fake, he was convinced after seeing the demon king Balak captured.
The sun had the same idea.
You can’t beat the real demon lord with your current abilities.
Is there a point where the ransom can be raised more than now, when the tag has been attached to defeating the demon lord of counterfeits?
No matter how difficult a stage is, can it give as much impact as clearing the 8th stage of the Soul Training Field?
It was Taeyang’s judgment that it was unlikely.
Ran smiled at the sun.
“Go ahead and wait! I will follow soon.”
Balaam’s predictions were not limited to the sun.
Ran also passed the eight-step test, met Balaam, and received the same offer.
It was likely that he made the same offer to Parker, another player who had passed the 8th level test.
“Is the number of sponsored players increasing by three or more?”
Messiah brushed his gray hair and fell into thought.
Messiah was also a player whose highest record was over the 40th floor.
After the 36th floor, the boundaries between floors became blurred, and players with higher records were often encountered.
“They said they haven’t had any players sponsored since Minerva, but now there are three more.”
“Two of them are you and me.”
“oh. Are you bigger than we thought?”
“Not great. I did not know? hey. I’m grade S+. One of the best players ever.”
“Ah, here we go again.”
Ran shook his head and Taeyang grinned.
Seeing the scene, Salomon was impressed.
“Damn it. I had to challenge myself.”
“Yeah, it’s already past, right? Did you hesitate because you were afraid?”
A flirtatious tone that could only be used in Earth’s cyberspace. high-pitched voice.
Taeyang and Messiah looked at Ran in amazement.
-Yoon Taeyang was buried in the way he spoke.
-This is why… Education is…
-Mirror therapy Evande hahahaha.
-I can’t do it ㅜㅜ Ran was stained by Yoon Taeyang. TTTTTT.
-It’s sad…
Taeyang bowed his head to Ran.
With a serious expression, as he did with Salomon just before.
“Ran.”
“huh?”
“sorry… … .”
“huh? what?”
Ran tilted her head with innocent eyes as if she didn’t know why.

.
It felt small to Taeyang, but considering the difficulty of this stage, it was generous.
A man approached me while the short elation I had grown accustomed to passed by.
A man of bizarre shape with flames instead of eyeballs.
It was Balaam.
Balaam said to the sun with his characteristic friendly smile.
“Didn’t another demon king contact you by any chance?”
“You know what to ask?”
“From a player’s point of view, the Demon King may seem infinitely close to omnipotence, but it is not. If my fellow demon lords started working right away, there’s a possibility that there could be a problem without my knowledge.”
At Balaam’s words, the sun shrugged.
“It never happened.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Balaam took the sun and walked somewhere.
For a brief moment there was silence between the two.
– Why am I suffocating?
-you also? me too.
-It’s okay… Because I’m used to it…
-TT.
-Isn’t that a bit like that? The class president (pretty girl) came and said she would explain the school because she had transferred, so I was excited. He didn’t say a word to me while he was doing this…
– Wash the baby! Did you charter in the chat window?
-Write a diary in a diary.
– Beat the diary!
The first to speak was Taeyang.
“Does the demon king have a class?”
“A class?”
“Dantalian is the 71st rank. Balak is in the 62nd rank. Balaam, you are the 51st rank. Isn’t the lower the number the better?”
“ah.”
Balaam laughed.
“It’s an easy misunderstanding. Numbers are just numbers.”
“okay? I can’t believe it.”
“May I ask why you don’t believe me?”
The sun answered in a dry voice.
“Right now, Balak Balaam. You guys are fighting over your ego just because we have similar names. Wouldn’t it be strange if you weren’t obsessed with the title of the first rank demon king?”
-Facts are plugged in. lol.
-That’s right. lol.
– Yes, they aren’t even teenagers, are you arguing over names? lol.
Balaam laughed a little and answered.
“You are right. In the past, fights have taken place even with numbers like this. But that is a very long time ago. It has been a very long time since the hierarchy was established.”
“Then you’re saying that in the past you lined up with fighting power?”
“yes. In the past it has. But as time passed… … It has lost its meaning now.”
Balaam was a demon king of the 51st rank, but he was not a demon king who was very interested in battle.
Balak, on the other hand, is a demon king who always thinks of battle, war, and invasion.
Balaam didn’t like Balak, but honestly, he thought it was hard to predict the outcome when they fought again.
Demon kings are basically transcendents who have crossed the limits of life, but at the same time they are also living, breathing creatures.
This means that there is both regression and progress.
And there was also a demon king who was not interested in the line-up he had done before and was meekly located below.
Therefore, the immediate ranking had no absolute meaning.
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“I will stop talking soon. We are all here.”
The place Balaam guided was a large stage.
The sun stood in the center of the stage.
An opaque curtain covered the front, but the structure could be seen.
There are partitions and there are seats for people to sit.
How should I call this space?
stage? auditorium? altar? Auction house?
The face of the sun hardened.
“Hey Balaam.”
“yes. Please tell me, player Yoon Taeyang.”
Balaam’s voice sounded different when he was being kind.
And the smile on his lips seemed fake.
auction house.
Demon lords waiting for things in front.
The sun waiting to be valued at its center.
On one side of my brain, the pieces fit snugly together.
soul camp.
A place that encourages player growth.
At the same time, the place where you look deepest into your talent.
‘Come to think of it, there was a time when I was annoyed at Balaam not to handle things.’
I seemed to know the source of the kind attitude.
That attitude had to come very familiar to Taeyang.
Balram maintained a business attitude that anyone in the service industry could understand in modern Korea.
“under.”
The reason why Balaam had to come and inspect the players who had cleared the 8th stage test.
Because there is no defect in the product.
Because it is a product to be put out for ‘sponsorship’.
Auction house?
Ha, another word fits better.
slave market.
Taeyang’s heart moved dynamically in anger.
In contrast, the head gradually grew colder.
The more he gets angry, the more he endures and produces the best result, and the competitive spirit was the driving force that allowed Taeyang to be where he is today.
Chew.
The curtain is raised.
