chapter 1139 - Difficult Advice (10)
The alarm that rang out throughout the server drew a huge response not only on the broadcast but also in the game.
From the beginning, users who had been waiting in the game to witness this moment came to the broadcast to congratulate the players who had been playing the game without knowing about the broadcast.
People who played the game but didn’t know about the broadcast at all were asking for the broadcast address, so the party members were busy responding to the whispers.
Of course, the most attention was given to ‘Hongryong’, who was obviously Yeom Jun-yeol, and ‘Shield Soldier’, who was originally famous on PlayerZ.
“Jo Ui-shin is pretending not to do anything again.”
“The older brothers and sisters who were in charge of the staff said they would edit Ui-shin’s performance separately. It will be uploaded separately from this video, so not only Ui-shin but many people will be able to see it.”
I heard Yeom Jun-yeol and Yoo Sang-hoon talking through voice chat.
It was Yeom Jun-yeol who contacted the priest and opened a way out of the Dragon Temple, and it was Yoo Sang-hoon who ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ gathered and commanded all these players.
In fact, all I did was invite Yoo Sang-hoon, so it was a bit odd to even be counted as one of the three party leaders.
I explained this clearly so that people who watched the broadcast in the middle or didn’t know the situation well might misunderstand that I played a big role, but the two didn’t care.
“Senior, when will the video be uploaded?”
“There are so many video editing points, so I don’t think you know how long it will take. It will be uploaded this week at the latest.”
“Do you want to get together and watch it?”
“I also want to get together after a long time. I really want to, but Sang-hoon has a big competition coming up, so it’ll be hard to get together right away. Even so, I hope we can see each other before the summer vacation ends.”
No matter what I said, no one cared.
Do-shi-hoo and Jang Nam-wook, who had just come here, must have heard what I said, but they kept saying, “Yisin, you really worked hard.”
Now that there are so many party members, it was inevitable that what someone said would be buried.
When I gave up on explaining, Yoo Sang-hoon teased me.
“Everyone knows that I didn’t command alone because we all watched the broadcast.”
“You did it alone.”
“When I deployed the squad, I sent the analysis of the battle situation with the device. The broadcast captured the scene of sending messages.”
Of course, it was impossible to call Yoo Sang-hoon and leave it all up to him.
Even so, Yoo Sang-hoon had already personally watched the broadcast and analyzed the enemies around him, and the fact that he divided the squads and deployed them based on the characteristics of the party members was all Yoo Sang-hoon’s work.
The party members who were chatting with people around them, saving the videos personally, or actively talking to the priest who had opened his eyes gathered around us at some point.
The priest who had taken off his blindfold stood in front of the party members.
‘The priest’s eyes were this color.’
The priest’s eyes were the same color as the sky from which light was pouring down.
The priest’s eyes were changing slightly from moment to moment, as if they were filled with the light of the gods.
Some party members were so embarrassed by the beautiful and mysterious colors that they stared into the priest’s eyes for a long time.
‘Five colors? No, five cardinal colors? It’s hard to tell, but when you look closely, it looks like five colors.’
It was enough to believe that someone had deliberately adapted the Dragon Palace scenario, added additional elements, or deleted some of the developments to create the Dragon Temple scenario and NPCs.
Aside from the fact that it was a dragon and that something big had happened in the base, there were many differences, such as the development and battle patterns, the identity or intention of the traitor, and the existence of the boss enemy.
Even so, when I saw the priest who was opening his eyes to the light coming down from the sky, I couldn’t help but think of the yellow dragon serving the Dragon King wearing a colorful robe.
“I’ve walked a foolish path, but I finally made the right choice. I thank you for accepting my invitation and everything you’ve done for me.”
The priest who opened his eyes said with a soft smile.
Several party members exclaimed, “Wow,” and “Oh,” because the NPC’s appearance was so well-made.
Compared to when he sent us away with a stiff face and polite speech, it was much more natural and pleasant to see now.
“I invited you to the festival after all, but you didn’t enjoy it at all. I’d like to invite everyone here again. I’ll clean up the surroundings and hold a banquet as soon as the sun rises.”
The priest who opened his eyes declared with a smile, and the quest was updated with a sound effect.
‘Wait until daybreak and accept the invitation of the awakened priest’ was added to the quest list.
Since everyone in the party received an invitation, the party members checked the updated quest window.
In terms of the game, it was now the epilogue of the quest.
“Let’s take a screenshot here before we get into the epilogue!”
“Okay!”
“Wait a minute, let’s change the avatar.”
“Oh, equipment changed here?”
“This is not an instant dungeon, but a field judgment, so it’s possible.”
Everyone agreed to take a screenshot.
After finishing a big battle, taking a commemorative screenshot right there was one of the important rituals for gamers.
A famous player who took good screenshots and was on the top of the user participation board of PlayerZ’s official homepage several times excitedly designated a spot.
“The three who were in charge of the party, stand in the middle with the priest. Those who were in the same squad as the party leader, stand right behind them, and each squad should stand in a single line. Oh, the squad leaders, please come to the front of each line!”
Since most of the players here were those who frequently participated in large-scale raids and took commemorative screenshots, they all took their places in perfect order.
Jang Nam-wook was moving around a bit because he couldn’t find his place properly, but Do-shi-hoo took care of it for him.
I ended up standing in the center with Yeom Jun-yeol because I was the party leader for a very short time, but I couldn’t ruin the line I had finally found, so I decided to just accept it.
In the chat room, they responded enthusiastically whenever they recognized the people who were in the front.
Of course, they couldn’t help but get excited when they saw players like Land Spider or Berserker.
In addition, there were quite a few people who were famous as broadcasters on PlayerZ, even if they weren’t as skilled as the two of them.
‘Oh, that streamer also did PlayerZ?’
While looking at the screen, I found a familiar name.
I don’t really watch internet broadcasts, but I’ve seen that streamer’s name once.
He was a streamer who almost merged with Dokgo Miro, but he canceled the broadcast due to some incident and went on a long hiatus.
It was possible that he was just another person with the same streamer name and PlayerZ username, but since he was originally planning to broadcast games, it was more likely that he had already secured a username that was the same as his own.
More than anything, the voice I heard in the voice chat was the streamer’s.
[Oh, there are streamers who are taking a break from broadcasting]
[Are you talking about Shield Soldier?]
[The character standing next to the ㄴㄴGwangjeonsa is on a long hiatus after the Smime Center incident]
[Pyeonsa, please come back so we can do well]
[Is the back-end fun, Pyeonsa? As long as you’re happy, that’s enoughㅠㅠ… … ]
Punsa is an abbreviation of the streamer's activity name, 'Player-almost-a-person'.
Punsa developed a supernatural ability in middle school and attended a youth player support center because he dreamed of becoming a player, but lost his supernatural ability before he turned 17.
After that, he gained popularity by streaming about supernatural abilities with the concept of a normal person who almost became a player, but when he found out that he was a victim of the center incident, his mental state broke down and he went on a long hiatus.
'You must have been playing PlayerZ personally during the hiatus.'
Perhaps he was recovering his mental state by taking a break from streaming and playing games, or maybe Punsa's voice sounded a little brighter.
No, maybe he was hiding his emotions like a streamer considering that Shield Soldier was currently broadcasting.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
"It was fun because it felt like I was fighting as a real player. Shield Soldier, please call me again next time!"
When that voice was heard on the broadcast, those looking for Punsa in the chatroom started to clamor for him to come back.
But when it came time to take a screenshot, I was buried in the emoticons of viewers who joined in taking pictures together, like ‘v^^v’, ‘v(´∀`)’, and ‘v(*´ڡ`●)v’.
After that, we changed the line, took pictures with the people we wanted, and spent time adding each other as friends.
‘Yeom Jun-yeol is popular here too.’
Yeom Jun-yeol accepted all of the friend requests from his party members without rejecting a single one.
Then, I also got a friend request message from the party members I fought with, and I accepted it because I had no reason to reject them.
Thanks to that, I suddenly became friends with the big shots of PlayerZ.
[I’ve heard of the merchant guild Venice, but I didn’t know they fought so well. ㄷㄷ]
[The power of in-game purchases is funny? If you spend that much, it's normal for you to fight well even if you can't fight.]
[Do they hunt too?]
[ㅇㅇ We also select PK-specialized guild members who specialize in hunting workshops]
Among the newly added friends, there was also the guild master of PlayerZ's largest merchant guild, 'Venice'.
The guild master was a user named '1 Pound' who is estimated to be in the top 5 in terms of cumulative spending in the entire game.
1 Pound was a user who ran a merchant guild, went back and forth between towns where trading was possible in the world, and played quietly.
However, when an incident occurred in the PlayerZ community where a user who made a fuss about spending money publicly led his followers to belittle and swear at non-paying users, the real big shots grabbed hold and certified a larger spending amount to shut them up.
The largest spending amount certified in that incident was 1 Pound.
“I want to trade in the Dragon’s Secret Terrius, but the priest is secretly not easy. I think Hongryong and Choshinsung, who have built up favorability in the village, could help me out a bit.”
“Haha, I’ll think about it.”
The reason 1 Pound approached us seems to be to trade in the Dragon’s Secret Terrius.
He seems to be friends with Yoo Sanghoon, and since Venice’s guild ideology is to promote a healthy trading culture between NPCs and users, and users and users, it seems like there would be no problem in helping him out a bit.
Meanwhile, Inseon Oh’s character ‘Ttanggeumi’ is also on the list of friends that has suddenly increased.
In Seon-oh added all the party members who participated, including Yeom Jun-yeol, Jang Nam-wook, and Do-shi-hu, as friends.
‘I should have done this earlier, but is it a bit strange to add a classmate who plays the same game as me now?’
If the Kwan-jong duo were watching from the side, they would probably complain about why they haven’t added me as a friend yet.
After everyone had done what they could and wanted to do here.
Yoo Sang-hoon, who was watching the timing, spoke in the party leader-only chat.
Yoo Sang-hoon’s voice was filled with echo and emphasis effects and spread to the party members.
“We’re moving on to the festival event invited by the priest. If you’re not ready yet, press decline.”
Following Yoo Sang-hoon’s voice, a choice came to mind.
The fact that we didn’t move on to the festival invited by the priest right after the battle was the consideration of the production team who were surprised to take a commemorative screenshot here.
That’s why we could usually choose to proceed to the next event like this.
≪Party leader Shield Soldier chose to spend time with a party member. Would you like to join us?≫
Normally, if there were this many people, one or two would shout ‘Wait a minute!’ and ask them to wait, but since Yoo Sang-hoon had such good timing, everyone agreed.
And the moment the screen flashed, the party leader Yeom Jun-yeol, me, and Yoo Sang-hoon were in a different space.
It was the ‘Gap of Doors’, a space that transcended time and space in Zeta.
