Episode 343. The great power of the upper class (1)
A day that passed by in an instant.
After spending time in the PC room, Jinhyeok and the members of the Goinmul Corporation relieved their fatigue by visiting various places.
and the next day.
âWeâll just do it this far.â
âSee you later.â
Min Jeong-woo and Lee Yu-ri, busy with personal schedules, left first.
âOppa. See you next time. Weâll be growing hard too.â
âHyung. We have additional information about the unexplored labyrinth, so come with us next time.â
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also said goodbye as if they were sorry because they had a schedule to attack the labyrinth.
âI have unfinished business⦠Itâs important, but Iâll report back when itâs done.â
Lastly, Melena suddenly disappeared, saying that she had something to deal with with the remaining Mine Remnants.
Membership reduced by almost half.
â¦After the shareholdersâ meeting there, each of us should have rested.
âIt was⦠a mistake.â
Jinhyuk sighed softly.
The schedule for the second day was to play baseball together.
Teresa, who usually liked watching baseball, carefully listened to her opinion. Everyone gladly accepted the offer.
As a result.
Hell has begun.
One side was a team composed of Teresa, Jinhyeok, Wolyeong, and Spirit Sue.
The other side was a team composed of Alice, Andrea, the Ancient Soldier, and T-Bone.
[185th round score 0:0]
The game has already been enforced for 7 hours.
Most of the cases took less than 2 minutes for each episode, but since there were so many people with crazy specs, the result was like this.
To be precise, it was because Teresa, who was so pure, changed her personality 180 degrees when she entered the game.
âJinhyeokâ¦â
âYes?â
âThat ball just now. Couldnât Jinhyeok hit it?â
A tingling sensation that touches the skin.
The atmosphere cools down.
Teresa, who had already halfway âcorruptedâ, had a holy image and a decadent image at the same time.
shit. Look at that
dark red aura rising from the baseball bat.
It is poised to cut down the entire baseball field.
Besides, the problem isâ¦
âAnnoying. I never lose.â
His opponent, Alice, also hated losing more than dying.
âI agree. Iâd rather bite my tongue and die than lose to him.â
Chun Yoo-seong was also a guy whose desire to compete was beyond imagination.
Thanks to that, a never-ending Möbius strip-like game was in progress.
fault!
[Wol-Young activates her unique skill, âShadow Killerâ!]
I wondered if Wol-Youngâs shadow on 1st base was getting blurry. In an instant, he reached right in front of second base.
But just then.
[Cheon Yoo-seong activates Lv19 âDeath Soul Swordâ!]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A long line appeared on the floor of the baseball field.
âNo way.â
It was a check that felt a strong will to cut it down if it moved any further.
âSheesh!â
When Wolyeong clicked her tongue and went back to where she was, Ellis, who was in charge of pitching, twisted the corners of her mouth subtly.
Woo woo woo!
As the red energy condensed into one, the ball shook violently.
It was a phenomenon in which mana gathered to the limit due to the âBlood Roadâ.
âIâll put an end to it this time.â
âI see my little boy doesnât know the rules of baseball. Youâre the defense and weâre the offense. If itâs over, the offense has to score before itâs over.â
âHey, maybe you donât know the rules of baseball. And youâre a kid? That, that. Did you just say that to me?â
âOh my. Did I make a mistake? But, even if you look at cooking and cooking, youâre a kid. What should I do?â
âAaaaaaagh! Iâm going to kill you. You stupid saint!â
Ellis got into position to throw the baseball.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Sonic booms occurred one after another and the ground began to dig deep.
dead ball.
It is often aimed at hitting the batter.
But if you really hit that ball here, it could literally be a dead ball.
Not at the level of instant death, but at the level of disappearing without a trace.
âIt will taste good.â
Roaring!
Wild flames shot up along Theresaâs baseball bat.
I couldnât even imagine how delicate control would be required for the mana, a mixture of half divine power and half corrupted energy.
Swoop.
the ball is gone
After that, even the wind disappeared.
What followed wasâ¦
Kwaaaaaang!
It was a roar that seemed to destroy the entire baseball field.
The bounced ball soared high into the sky.
A white dot that slowly falls while drawing a parabolic curve.
âCatch that right now!â
âThe ballâs going that way.â
âYes. Just leave it to me.â
âEveryone be quiet. My head hurts.â
âDalgrak. If you donât want to become bone soup, everyone, get your head straight.â
The spirit beasts and ancient soldiers moved busily.
In the sky, a hooded crane holding a yeouiju. In case there was any damage to the outside, they were fully prepared.
Sweet Potato was watching the whole thing on the bench while fumbling with magic stones.
Boooooong!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Unique abilities and skills abound.
In a battlefield that almost resembles a real battle.
Jinhyuk nodded with a face that put everything down.
âThereâs no shit like this.â
It might be better to fight Shubnigurath again.
If thereâs one thing that isnât bad thoughâ¦
Jinhyeokâs eyes glanced at his cell phone.
Viewtube live broadcast.
You canât get coins, but itâs a means to do your part to increase personal sponsorship and the number of subscribers.
Jinhyeok started to gather viewers by opening a live broadcast right after the baseball game started.
And of courseâ¦
â¦the response was explosive.
-golgol: wow. is this a real story? It is a game that will make your heart grow.
-Maison Hwang: The battle video of the rankers was childâs play.
-Moon Yoo-chan: Iâve seen a lot of videos of boss battles, labyrinths, and ruins, but I donât think Iâve seen anything more thrilling and splendid than this.
-cry: No, itâs not even murder baseball. What the hell is that lol
â Anonymous: But the real members are solid. Itâs not just that there are heroes who saved humanity.
-Just: But am I the only one who finds it strange that heroes risk their lives for something like that? huh? Someone give me a reasonable critique.
My eyes are dizzy from the endless chat window.
âAt least the value of the company name will definitely go up.â
Due to the incorporation of the worldâs eighth guild, stock prices are skyrocketing.
If these promotional videos are added, the effect will shine even more.
When it was calculated that far, Jinhyeok didnât look so bad at this war-like baseball field.
âThis is how it happened. I really hope they destroy the baseball field itself.â
As the number of injured continues, the publicâs interest will grow even hotter.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
The sweet two days of holiday are all over.
When the promised date arrived, Jinhyeok activated the gate to the auction house once again.
Whoa!
with a bright light. The same thing happened when the ticket was ripped for the first time.
âWhoa.â
Jinhyuk sighed slightly.
I ran the simulation several times in my head, but I still needed to check the variables once again.
No matter what anyone says, there will be a large number of deities covering the upper floors of the tower at this auction.
Of course, the plan must be perfect to extract the maximum benefit from them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Right then.
âOh my God. Youâre here again.â
A small fairy appeared in front of Jinhyeok.
This is the guide I met two days ago.
âHello. Her name was probably⦠Setilda, right?â
âYes yes yes! Wow. Itâs an honor that you remember my name. Wasnât there anything you liked the other day? Seeing you come back like this. Oh. Wait. Wait a minute. Letâs see. Oh here we go! This is about todayâs auction. This is the schedule. This time, I recommend the B-3 auction hosted by Rick, the middle manager. Look at the hot new items on the 20th floor of the towerâ¦â The words still pouring in like rapid fire hit my eardrum
.
âNo, thatâs fine, but this time Iâm going to participate in a special auction hosted by the gods.â
âAh. Thatâsâ¦â
Setilda blurted out, as if troubled.
âWhy. Is something wrong?â
âNo. Itâs not like that, but⦠Auctions attended by deities are very expensive. Besides, you need enough magic stones to buy a decent castle with just the entrance fee, or something equivalent.â
In short, it is a place where it is difficult to attend even with a decent amount of money.
âDonât worry. I didnât come without such preparation.â
Jinhyeok took out a fairly thick yeouiju.
The Hooded Cranes brought one of the newly made Yeouiju, which they had cherished so far.
I thought of the image of the blue dragon that still had tears in my eyes and said that it wasnât enough⦠but
the feeling of sorry was only for a moment.
âFrom here on, I know how to get there. You donât have to guide me any further.â
âYes. Then, have a good auction!â
Setilda greeted him brightly as always.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Jeopardy.
A little further inside, a corridor lined with ornate marble columns caught my eye.
At the same time, magical powers that were different from those at the entrance appeared.
âI seeâ¦â
Jinhyeokâs lips twisted subtly.
A being with the strongest power in the tower.
Each of them are absolutes who rule a myth and the world.
Just by facing him, I could feel the pressure pressing down on my whole body.
âNorthern Europe and Greece⦠Did they come from the spirit realm and the demon realm?â
The powerful forces that were difficult to see even when climbing the tower in the past gathered together.
As if to say how important this auction is.
Right then.
âOh my goodness.â
A beautiful woman with long blonde hair tied to one side approached.
It is the archangel âGabrielâ belonging to âEdenâ.
Next to him was a sturdy male angel who seemed to be an escort.
Seeing as I canât remember his face, I donât think heâs an angel in an important positionâ¦
âYouâve come as expected.â
Gabriel was the first to speak.
âBecause this kind of place doesnât come very often.â
âWell, until now I havenât had many chances to meet the deities.â
Gabriel nodded his head in understanding.
but.
âThat too, but the main purpose is to see the apostles who signed a contract with the gods rather than the gods who are too high.
ââ¦!?â
At Jinhyeokâs words, Gabrielâs pupils slightly dilated.
The male angel next to him also flinched and clenched his fist.
âWhere else did you hear that information?â
âThe players have not yet been chosen by the gods, but itâs a different story for the residents. The gods will also need agents that span the floors in order to exert influence on the floors below. Also, I thought that if the great powers of the upper echelons wanted to show off themselves, of course they would have brought their apostles as well.â
Just as those chosen by the demon world are called âblack apostlesâ.
They have titles.
And among them, there will be rankers picked and picked among the residents.
In the future,
rivals who will climb the upper floors of the tower together and fight
. Did you even think about that? Itâs really fun. fun. Normally, the players would be busy boasting about being in a place like this for the first time.â
Gabriel smiled strangely, as if he liked him even more.
âAs I said before, Eden is interested in player Kang Jin-hyeok. If I can accept someone like you as an apostle, Iâll be much more reassured.â
In that sense,
âWeâll make an offer first.â
A great power made the first offer.
With conditions that were hard to refuse.
âSenior manager. Iâll give you information about Hastings, even what he has plans for the future.â
