'Climb the tower of trials'

(One)

The super-popular program 'Climbing the Tower of Trials' boasts a viewership rating of 40%.

This program ranges from officials of the Awakened Association and various guilds to the general public. It was truly loved by all age groups.

That means it's a no-brainer.

'must You must succeed.'

Kim Daun bit his lip.

Now, people are enjoying Internet broadcasting more than TV while talking about View Tube or Paprika TV. The position of the broadcasting station was inevitably narrowed.

Now, even if the ratings were only 10%, it was said that it was a jackpot.

However, with the advent of the Tower of Trials, an opportunity came to turn the situation around.

With great support from the government and the Awakened Association. It was possible to create a special program related to the Tower of Trials.

A once in a lifetime opportunity.

KDS had to somehow make use of this opportunity.

And the Hidden card that was able to continue that spark of hope .

It's the man right in front of you right now.

The mint chocolate here is very good. The toothpaste taste is still alive, right? Did you really put it in?

Jinhyuk Kang.

Korea's 16th S-class player and a person who is generating a lot of attention.

To be honest, I didn't think it would be easy to cast.

Surprisingly, the other party willingly came to the meeting.

'please I shouldn't have asked for too much of an unreasonable fee.'

Daun Kim swallowed dry saliva.

Hey... Kang Jinhyuk player?

Yes?

Jinhyuk lifted his lips from the straw.

As I said over the phone, tomorrow at 7pm. All you have to do is appear on a live talk show.

Ah. I know. You can simply tell me about me and the things I've been doing so far. Was it this?

That's right. For the main action scenes and other scenes, we will re-edit the videos in Jinhyuk Kang's view tube and play them together. Jinhyuk Kang plans to add comments in the middle.

In a nutshell, please do the same thing as if the director commented on the work in a movie-like place, right?

Well, it's a sensitive part, so you'll have to be ignorant of it.

After some Q A time, it seemed that the broadcast volume could be fully digested.

great.

I was told what to do.

Then let's talk about the pay, shall we?

Yes.

It was also one of the goals to raise awareness by appearing on TV shows.

The most important thing is the performance fee. Because of this, I quickly accepted Kim Daun's offer.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly, and a nervous light flashed across Kim Daun's face.

In the case of B-class people, we give 10 million won at a time. A-grade people are giving 50 million won. And S-class people are set at 500 million won, but if you want, you can raise a little more.

5 billion.

It was an unprecedented amount for what could be received from just one appearance.

However, Jinhyuk shook his head.

It doesn't mean there isn't enough money.

It's just that I don't need money this time.

"Are you lacking?"

No. It's not like that... I'd like to be paid Magical Stones instead of money as an appearance fee.

Yes?

I have to extract mana from magic stone. Even if it doesn't, I heard that the broadcasting station is investing in a business related to magic stone, so I would like you to deduct the appearance fee from that.

It's ok...I think it'll be fine, but can I call the director for a moment? The method of payment is not something I can decide at my level.

caught

Of course. Please feel free to come.

Jinhyuk leaned back on the sofa leisurely.

Then, Kim Daun hurriedly went out of the coffee shop with his cell phone.

'The answer must be decided anyway.'

Because I wasn't in a position to say no.

No matter what you ask from here, you have no choice but to nod your head.

How long have you been sipping drinks like that?

Kim Daun, who had gone out to call, came back.

By the way.

Her expression darkened slightly.

Did things go wrong?

Ah... The magic stone case has been approved. As soon as the broadcast ends, we will settle it in the basement storage room. You can pick it up then.

That's fortunate.

"But, I I have one more thing to tell you."

Kim Daun blurs the end of his speech as if in trouble. There seems to be something twisted.

I'm listening.

I think someone else has an appointment for tomorrow's broadcast. So may I ask if you can appear with him?

Is there anyone else coming besides me?

certainly .

Didn't I say it's difficult because no one will come tomorrow?

Yes. I'm sorry. It was talked about at a higher level, so it was something I couldn't figure out.

I'm going to point out one thing first: I prefer to be honest with myself rather than flirt.

Yes?

Kim Daun's eyes widened.

He tried to straighten his expression, but it was already too late.

also .

Suddenly a new guest is added.

No matter how far-fetched the bureaucracy is. There's no way things can be handled like that.

That's right.

Who is it? The one who comes with me.

...that, that...

It's frustrating. You don't even realize who's holding the hilt now?

Aren't the broadcasting stations going bankrupt without such talent?

Okay. If you don't tell me, I'll let you go.

Jinhyuk got up from his seat without any regrets.

Then, it was Kim Daun who became urgent.

"Ho, CEO Hong Deok-pyo. Yes! It's him! Hearing that he had hired player Kang Jin-hyuk, he said he would definitely come too "

What about Hong Deok-pyo?

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

I remembered

The master of the 'Black Fortune Guild', who wrote black history properly at the ballroom.

The unlucky protagonist used as a foundation for the press conference.

Yes. it was that guy

'I put pressure on the broadcasting station to appear on the show with me. .'

Seeing that Hong Deok-pyo was going to come with a flag, he must have been making a stupid plan again.

Anyway, I don't know why there are so many people in the world who can't come to their senses once they've been confused.

Don't you know that you shouldn't be doing that?

' no way?'

Jinhyuk immediately realized the reason.

Looking at how confident I am, it seems like there are other people coming with me other than Hong.

There is no chance that Hong Deok-pyo improved his skills significantly after the prom.

There are ruins and labyrinths that can grow rapidly, but there is no message that they have been captured yet.

Above all, he is not a vessel for that.

if so.

'It must mean that we have hired talented people.'

There is no other way to explain it.

Yes. That's right. I heard that some rankers from large overseas guilds are coming along.

Well, that's how it happened.

This is an opportunity to bring you and famous overseas rankers, who are in the midst of raising their stock price, in one place.

Even if it wasn't for Hong Deok-pyo's pressure from the broadcasting station's point of view. It must have been a temptation hard to give up.

Is this what Korea is about networking?

It's fun.

The corner of Jinhyuk's mouth went up.

Then, can I also call my acquaintances as a guest?

the next evening.

Hong Deok-pyo arrived at the broadcasting station an hour earlier than the scheduled time.

Finally, this day has come.

Anticipation was dripping from his face.

Of course, I am excited because I have an opportunity to repay the humiliation I have suffered.

'Today is the last time I wake up from the night screaming.'

Even if we eat outside, when the name Kang Jin-hyuk comes up, we get upset. For Hong Deok-pyo, the day of the prom was a nightmare that was hard to shake off.

However, that is now over.

This is the time to pay back 1000 times what you have suffered.

That was then.

Damn it, I know you're excited because you're in the middle of a delusion, but because of you, do we have to come all the way to this snotty place?

Kang Jin-hyuk is a person who looks carefully from above, so there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, Mr. Hong. Don't forget the pay. You've called us all the way to this village, so we'll definitely get paid.

Some exotic-looking people approached me next to Hong Deok-pyo.

A man with a sharp impression like a salamander and a woman with long black hair reaching her waist.

The two complained as if they were dissatisfied with coming to Korea.

OK.

The third man finally opened his mouth.

Both of you, be quiet. Even reporters are coming, but if you raise your voice and the image of the guild is tarnished...

momentary comma.

What followed was a notice without emotion.

I will kill you both with my own hands.

This is no joke.

...Ah, I see.

Yes.

The two people's complaints slipped into the dry words that could be called mechanical.

Yes.

That's it.

for this revenge

[Three S-rank rankers of the Chinese Guild came.]

I selected only those who could wipe out any guild with just three people.

However, more important than the individual's power. The point is that the most powerful guild in China has stepped forward.

There are tens of thousands of players in the guild alone.

In addition, Namgungcheon, at its peak, boasted an unimaginable strength that earned him the nickname of a walking boss monster.

As long as he has such a splendid lineup. A single player who insists on solo will not be able to handle it.

'Come on, let the dog cool down once in a while.'

A fishy smile hung on the corner of Hong Deok-pyo's lips.

Those who hit with rice cakes should be beaten with rice cakes again.

Even so, the reporters were even called in to make this stage's splendid point.

The large-scale true education that will be held in a while will also be better if there are many eyes to see.

But that was the moment when Hong Deok-pyo giggled.

What is this. Why are you gathering so much?

A familiar figure appeared among the crowd.

It was Jinhyuk.

I'm here!

Hong Deok-pyo's eyes twinkled.

Players from the Chinese Guild were also interested.

Now that I've encountered the ranker, who has been the center of attention lately, I can't help but be curious.

The leader of the China Guild approached Jinhyuk.

And just as I was about to open my mouth to speak.

You are Kang Jin-hyuk...

I don't buy from China.

Jinhyuk cut off the conversation with a single knife.

What, what?

The leader's face contorted in anger.

Damn! You know who these people are right now and are babbling around! They are rankers belonging to the Chinese Guild!

Deok-pyo Hong tried to rectify the situation urgently.

Oh.

I wondered why the guy was so upset.

"Were these guys the ones you believed in?"

this is true

You say you hired a great talent. I thought you brought a famous ranker somewhere.

They must have brought Chinese mass-produced goods.

I had expected it roughly with the patterns and clothes, but this was less than expected.

'Three people... .'

Jinhyuk looked at the status window of the players from the Chinese Guild with a sad expression on his face.

These are the abilities and unique abilities that I listed one by one.

Is it possible to organize everything on the Cheonyuseong Line?

'The Chinese side is also below expectations.'

Anyway, if Namgungcheon comes directly, I'm sure I'll have a good taste for fighting. Of course, that was also a story when I grew up much better than when I was in the Tower of Trials in the past.

Okay. CEO Hong. Let me tell you.

The leader dissuaded Hong.

Maybe it's because he cares about reporters. His face is burning with anger, and if he tries to hold back, he will burn a thousand dollars inside.

Jinhyuk Kang player. Yes. It's good to be confident. Because you've done something worthwhile. But, don't think that you can face a large guild by yourself.

Hmm. To be honest, I think that alone would suffice.

It's no fun to press with force.

What your partner is most confident about.

It is the most thrilling when you take a picture with it and press it.

Anyway, the time has come

The moment I thought so.

Boo woo woo!

A black foreign car appeared on the road.

Rolls Royce Phantom.

It was a top-of-the-line car that is hard to find in Gangnam. The Rolls-Royce, approaching as if flowing through the clouds, stopped in front of the broadcasting station.

What, what?

Who's going to come again?

I didn't know you'd see that car here, did you?

The reporters' eyes turned to the car.

Soon after, the driver came out and politely opened the door.

It's a modest move.

The mere act of opening the door is enough to bring out dignity.

Im here.

And because of those coming out of the car.

Ugh?

Hey, this can't be!

Get everyone here right now! Bring all your cameras! Right now!

Everyone in front of the station had to exhale in shock.
