Chapter 237
Chapter 237
A week later.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
Yoon Sejin, who was sitting on the living room sofa drinking coffee, looked up at the sound coming from her phone.
"Sophia?"
"Yeah, Dad. I'll go out and see."
Yoon Se-ah, now with a familiar expression, walked to the front door and opened it.
And there, Sophia, who was beautifully made up, stood.
"Se-ah, hello~"
"Yeah, we see each other often these days. Hey."
A week ago, Sophia moved to Sword Palace.
Every day around 3 o'clock, she would come to the penthouse.
"Hey, Ji-han, is he here by any chance?"
"I don't have an uncle."
"He's not here? Again?"
"Yeah, he's in training."
"Really? Should I come before 3 o'clock? But the transfer of the painting by Van Dark isn't finished yet..."
The reason why Sophia had been coming back and forth to the penthouse for a week was, of course, to see Sung JiHan.
But she had been empty-handed for a week.
And that's understandable.
"No, it doesn't matter what time you come... He hasn't come out of the training room."
"No... He hasn't come out of the training room for a week? What about food?"
"Food? He hasn't been eating."
"What?! What if he faints?"
"You don't have to worry about that with Uncle. Besides..."
Yoon Se-ah looked towards the training room, her head filled with excitement.
"He doesn't seem to be in there either. There's no sign of him at all."
"Where did he go?"
"I heard that he got another training ground where the flow of time is different. When I asked him to take me there, he said only he can enter."
"Wow... There was something like that?"
"Yeah. So I'll let you know when he comes."
"Ugh. I was looking forward to seeing Ji-han a lot when I came to Korea... Okay!"
Sophia, who had been going back and forth for a week, turned around.
When Yoon Se-ah returned to the living room, Yoon Sejin, who was drinking coffee, spoke.
"That kid really has a lot of perseverance."
"Yeah, Dad."
"It reminds me of when I used to follow your mom."
"But Mom was a minor back then."
"Cough... I guess I should go level up a bit."
Yoon Sejin, who was startled by the mention of a minor, got up from the sofa.
Yoon Se-ah smiled and looked towards the training room.
"But when will Uncle really come out?"
Since the appearance of the empty training ground, Sung JiHan had been staying inside the training room without coming out.
Now, even on Yoon Se-ah's BattleTube, Sung JiHan's viewers would come and ask when the broadcast would start again.
"Thanks to that, my subscribers have increased... but there have been fights among the subscribers."
There were overwhelmingly more people subscribing to Sung JiHan's channel than those subscribing to Yoon Se-ah's.
In every one of Yoon Se-ah's games, the chat would be flooded with "When will Sung JiHan-nim come?"
So there were intense debates between those asking why Sung JiHan was being sought here and those asking why they were asking here instead of somewhere else.
Yoon Sae-ah had been trying to balance it, but the chat window was going crazy, so she had given up on it lately.
"Ah, if I log into the game today, my uncle will find me... Should I turn off the chat?"
Yoon Sae-ah smirked and mumbled to herself.
"Looking for me? Who?"
Behind her, without any sign, Sung JiHan appeared.
"Oh, uncle! You're here?"
"Yeah. How long has it been?"
"A week. Did you make any progress in your training?"
In response to Yoon Sae-ah's question, Sung JiHan shook his head.
"No."
The fifth martial art, Cheonsugangsin.
Even though Sung JiHan approached it with only the clue of the power of Gilgamesh in the martial art of the Wood Element, he couldn't make any progress.
"But Cheonsu seems to be related to the Wood Element...."
Cheonsu means "heavenly tree."
Since it is connected to the divine power, Sung JiHan initially thought it would function as some kind of buff.
Generally, if it's divine power, it shows the effect of strengthening the user for a certain period of time.
"But the last martial art of the martial art of annihilation is an enhancement type. It doesn't seem to be the case...."
Although there was no specific evidence that it wasn't an enhancement type.
Sung JiHan's intuition sent a signal that Cheonsugangsin was not simply of that type.
So he tried to find out more about Cheonsugangsin in a different direction, but he failed repeatedly.
He was in a state of refreshing his mind after coming out of the Void Training Ground.
"But what was that chat about earlier?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Just Uncle's fans came looking for him and came to my channel."
"Really? Your broadcasts have been a bit slow lately."
Since becoming the hidden boss, Sung JiHan hadn't been playing regular games.
Because even without that, the experience points earned by the hidden boss Sung JiHan were already high, so if he also participated in the level-up race here.
He would quickly become the world's number one.
Then, during the Space League, he would be hit with a concentrated ban on the first place, so he was adjusting his speed for the next game.
"Don't they all roughly know about this situation?"
"But there are still a lot of people curious about what Uncle is doing."
"I'm training."
"I've told that story more than a hundred times."
"You caused trouble."
"No, but there are still many people who subscribe to my channel among those who came in...."
Yoon Sae-ah, who showed great performance in the Japan War and showed the growth of Battle Tube, absorbed subscribers even among the fans asking about Sung JiHan's whereabouts and enjoyed the waterfall effect.
But she still struggled in the chat.
Yoon Sae-ah, whose face was not bright.
Sung JiHan looked at her complexion and tapped her head lightly.
"You won't be bothered by that kind of chat today."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I'm going to play the game today."
"Huh... Weren't you not supposed to level up? You shouldn't become the first place in the Space League."
"I was originally planning not to, but the reward for this special map is so unique."
"Oh, what is it?"
"I'll show you in-game."
Sung JiHan entered Battle.net with a smile.
"Hello, everyone."
Upon logging into Battle.net, Sung JiHan immediately opened BattleTube.
"Oh? It's Sung JiHan for real?"
"Oh... I saw the notification and wondered what it was, but it's really him?!"
"Oh, finally BattleTube... T.T Have you finished your training?"
As soon as Sung JiHan turned on the game, the chat window greeted him.
Sung JiHan, who was anxiously watching the disappearing letters, spoke up.
"I always train, but they assigned another special map in Space 4."
"Another special map?"
"It's always special, wow."
"I'm not even surprised anymore that it's Sung JiHan, lol."
"Is there another hidden boss then?"
The viewers were no longer surprised by the news of being assigned to a special map. Instead, the majority of the reactions were that it would be strange to play a regular map now.
Meanwhile,
[A.DaVVies has sponsored 100000GP.]
"Um, Sung JiHan, I'm really sorry, but you know that the Space League is almost over... Can you somehow... stay in 2nd place...?"
"Wow, Director Humanity, you gave up, lol."
"Talking about sponsorship and leveling up, that's your level, lol."
"I did enjoy the fake 1st place last time."
"For real, I hope Sung JiHan stays forever below 2nd place in terms of the Space League..."
"Is it because of the hidden boss? I heard Sung JiHan is now in 7th place."
"He didn't even play the main game, but he's still at that level. He must have earned a lot of experience points."
Davies, who had tricked the Orc who thought Sung JiHan would definitely be in 1st place, was determined to use a similar strategy in the next game. He even sponsored Sung JiHan, appealing to him to slowly grow.
"I also don't have any intention of being 1st in the next game. I'll try to restrain myself from leveling up as much as possible. However, I had to participate in this special map because the rewards were outstanding."
Upon hearing Sung JiHan's words, people showed interest.
"If Sung JiHan says the rewards are good, it must be amazing."
"Is it as good as when the hidden boss appeared last time?"
"What exactly are the rewards?"
"Well..."
As Sung JiHan was about to answer,
"Oh. Valued Customer. Long time no see."
Flash!
A giant robot appeared next to him and started talking.
"Artemis?"
Appearing in a combined form, Artemis, the greatest blacksmith in the universe, spoke.
"That's right."
His body flashed, and soon hundreds of dwarves appeared and stood in formation.
"Did our valued customer also participate because of the membership card?"
"Huh?"
"I did too. I couldn't resist extending it for another 6 months."
The basic reward for the special map was an extension of the Space League's premium membership card. This item had a built-in function that increased experience points and GP acquisition by 100 percent.
In fact, it had a 30 percent chance of being excluded from the opponent's ban list, which was more valuable than that.
Many people choose 'Spotlight' or 'Hideout' for special abilities.
[Are you going to extend Hideout this time?]
"Yes, that's right."
"If someone like you had used Spotlight, you would have received attention from the universe. GP sponsorship would have flooded in like Battle Tubes, and you would have received numerous love calls from the Thrones."
"Are you planning to use Spotlight?"
"Yes, I am. I need to gather GP to modify my race."
-Spotlight? Hideout?
-What are you talking about?
Sung JiHan roughly explained to the viewers who were not familiar with the Space League membership.
-Oh, so that's why Sung JiHan's face couldn't be seen.
-I thought the aliens were talking nonsense...
-And you don't get banned there?
-Impressive, haha.
The viewers simply accepted the membership as something good.
"A.DaVVies has sponsored 100,000 GP."
"So, Sung JiHan, if you have a membership, does that decrease the chance of getting banned? But it seems like it has never been applied in national team matches..."
Coach Davies, who leads the Human National Team, got excited and sponsored again.
Among his doubts, Sung JiHan also found the 30% ban probability strange.
He asked Artmu next to him about it.
"But Artmu, is this 30% ban avoidance effective? It seems like it has never been applied to me."
"Is that so? I had a blast with this. In which match did that happen?"
"It didn't work in the National Championship. I was the only one who got banned."
"...National? Are there multiple countries on the planet ruled by your race?"
"Uh..."
"Huh. Of course it wouldn't work. Is playing against the same race the true game? It's just part of practice. But... what did you do? You should unify the world and become a dictator right away."
Hundreds of dwarves looked at Sung JiHan with disbelief.
"A dictator? What nonsense."
"You're the one talking nonsense. As a low-ranking race, just entering Space 4 means you have exceptional genes. You have the obligation to advance the race further. Unify the world and spread your seed to superior women!"
-This guy is crazy...
-What's with the world unification joke, haha.
-But if Sung JiHan really declares world unification, who would stop him? Haha.
-Just blow up a nuke, right?
-Sung JiHan seems like he can avoid even a nuclear attack.
-Isn't his spatial control ability invincible?
As Artmu talked about world unification, the viewers started seriously debating whether it was possible or not.
Sung JiHan waved his hands excitedly as he saw those chat messages.
"Don't worry. I have no intention of world unification."
"Tsk. It's a waste of your abilities to dedicate yourself to the race."
Why bother with such a troublesome thing?
When Sung JiHan flatly denied it, Artmu grumbled next to him.
"The player is assigned to the special invaded map, 'Race Annihilation Battle'."
The system message appeared, and the chatter stopped as they focused on it.
"The assigned race is the 'Crimson Vampires', who were demoted from the Silver League."
"They will be divided into the 'Void' faction and the 'Sun' faction and proceed with the process of clearing the demoted planets."
"Will you participate in the 'Race Annihilation Battle'?"
Race Annihilation Battle.
Sung JiHan, who had only seen it as a special invaded map before joining the game, stiffened his expression as he saw the name of the revealed map.
