The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 34

* * *

Black Eagle Guild.

This guild was not part of the top 10 guilds, but it had a high reputation and was considered to be in the upper ranks.

And the members of the Black Eagle party who entered as the number one player in Gangnam Area were highly anticipated as they aimed to become professionals in the future.

However, even for them.

"A million GP...."

"A, a billion?"

One billion was too much money.

"I can't joke around with viewer missions. I can't do something like that without money. A billion... it's real."

Gulp.

Warrior unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

One billion.

No matter how promising he was within the guild, it was an amount that he, who had a bronze contract, couldn't even imagine.

Of course, if he continued to rise and reach the Gold League, then that huge amount would feel like enough to earn.

"...It's not easy to reach Gold."

Warrior thought.

After spending a few months in Gangnam Area, he realized that the wall of becoming a professional was not easy to overcome.

If he had originally possessed top-tier gifts, he would have joined the top 10 guilds instead of joining the lower-tier Black Eagle Guild.

He had talent, but he was mediocre among the real experts.

Warrior evaluated himself as such.

With that kind of person, even if he passed the Silver Promotion Battle, could he really overcome the wall of Gold?

No.

"If I commit suicide now, my reputation might drop a bit...."

However, one billion was a considerable power.

"Just in case. Reputation might not drop as much as I think."

Warrior had watched Sung JiHan's channel several times, so he knew the flow within the channel.

There were quite a few people who wanted to see Sung JiHan's status window and hoped that he wouldn't be the first.

The more he showed his amazing strength, the more people became curious about his abilities.

So even if he committed suicide here, he would probably receive some criticism.

"Yeah, let's die!"

Warrior looked around.

He saw his fellow guild members acting suspiciously.

The archer took out an arrow and discreetly brought it to his own neck.

The magician was preparing to cast a spell even though there were no monsters around.

Warrior's heart became anxious.

"These guys... did they also receive a mission from the King of Swords?"

They were crazy.

Did all three of them bet one billion on the mission?

Then if they all die, who will receive the money?

"...I don't know what will happen, but I have to die first."

With a firm determination, Warrior turned the tip of his sword towards his own neck.

He never dreamed that he would commit suicide while playing BattleNet.

After all, it was just a game.

He had to die quickly to clear the mission....

Swish!

"Huh...!"

The sword that was about to forcefully pierce his neck stopped right in front of his Adam's apple.

"It, it's not moving?"

He just needed to go a little deeper...!

His whole body was suppressed by an unknown force and couldn't move.

And.

"As expected."

Sung JiHan, who had been walking in front, suddenly turned around and had a cold smile on his face.

Thump, thump-

The sound of footsteps echoed loudly like thunder.

The warrior turned his eyes around, scanning the surroundings.

Not only himself, but all the guild members were completely suppressed and unable to move.

"Yeomdongryeok...! Is this preparation for such an event!?"

Now that he thought about it, there was something bothering him.

With Sung JiHan's power, he could have just played the game alone and cleared the path ahead, but he didn't want to separate himself from his party members.

Even when facing enemies, he always maintained a certain distance.

At that time, he thought it was to protect them...

"It was to monitor us!"

As the thought reached him, chills ran down his body.

"If you were going to do it, you should have done it earlier."

Tap, tap, tap.

Sung JiHan's fingers tapped all over the warrior's body.

The thick armor was pierced like a piece of paper.

"Uh..."

In an instant, the warrior lost his freedom of movement.

No, to be precise, only his face and neck could move.

"My, my hands and feet..."

It felt completely different from before.

Earlier, he was forcibly suppressed by a powerful external force, but now his body didn't respond at all.

"This, this is!"

Finally, the warrior remembered the techniques of the higher job class of the Warrior class, the "Martial Artist".

"Could it be... Bloodletting..."

Crack-

With a pitiful sound of the sword and shield, the warrior fell weakly.

It wasn't just the warrior who lost control of his limbs.

"Ah...!"

"Why, why are you doing this!"

Struggling to turn his neck, he looked back.

The other two guild members were also collapsing helplessly like puppets with their strings cut.

Sung JiHan, who had been looking down at them with a cold gaze, uttered a word.

"Did you really want that 1 billion?"

"H-How did you know that..."

The warrior asked in surprise.

Even if they had prepared in advance, how could he know the exact amount?

"Someone told me."

Sung JiHan's gaze turned towards the empty air.

More precisely...

[BJ GeumBit has sponsored 10,000 GP.]

[Sung JiHan! Those guild members are planning to take 1 billion and commit suicide! Be careful!]

A sponsorship message appeared in the corner of his vision.

* * *

Just now.

-JiHan-nim, me! Your editor! I want to be your editor!

-It's okay.

After being rejected by Sung JiHan in an instant.

"Ah..."

BJ GeumBit had been sulking for two days, refusing to broadcast.

"If I could make a broadcast with JiHan-nim and become a legend of BattleTube... It's such a missed opportunity."

He had a dream.

A dream to become the best in BattleTube.

Even though he was currently doing troll acts and exploring the deep sea content.

Someday, he would become the best as a broadcaster!

That was BJ GeumBit's grand ambition.

"But I can't do it alone."

BJ Geum Bit knew his own limits well.

He had good looks and A-grade gifts, but that alone was not enough to become the best on Battle Tube.

Only top-tier players like Sung JiHan could dominate the top of Battle Tube.

"I saw that potential in Sung JiHan... to let it slip away like this..."

Depressed.

Feeling down!

As BJ Geum Bit sighed and rolled on his bed.

Ding!

-Sung JiHan has started broadcasting.

His phone alarm went off.

"Huh? At this hour?"

BJ Geum Bit looked at the clock with surprised eyes.

Early morning.

Wasn't this the time when viewership would be the lowest because everyone was either going to work or school?

To broadcast at such a shitty time!

"Oh, this is why I should be there to give advice...!"

While lamenting like that, BJ Geum Bit entered Sung JiHan's channel in a hurry.

Sung JiHan, who had already reached level 15, was inside the dungeon map as usual.

He was conquering the dungeon with overwhelming power.

The game itself was flowing smoothly.

"If it continues like this, he will be in first place. If there are no problems..."

BJ Geum Bit suddenly remembered the trolling by Kim GyuHyuk in the past.

Back then, there was Sung JiHan's horoscope.

"Should I go check their channels?"

BJ Geum Bit's expression calmed down unlike usual.

He watched Sung JiHan's channel on his phone.

And at the same time, he logged into other people's channels one by one on his computer to observe.

Suddenly, people using the ID of the Black Eagle Guild members flooded into the channels.

"Commit suicide right now and stop Sung JiHan from getting first place."

Reward: 1,000,000 GP

It was an absurd reward.

"A million GP? That's ridiculous!"

BJ Geum Bit's expression hardened.

It was an excessive amount to simply call it the grudge-filled sponsorship of the people from the Black Eagle Guild.

Above all, the simultaneous entry into the party members' channels was suspicious to anyone who saw it.

"First, I should take a screenshot..."

BJ Geum Bit's eyes sparkled.

He had to let Sung JiHan know about this as soon as possible.

To do that, he had to send a sponsorship message.

The minimum sponsorship amount set by Sung JiHan was 10,000 GP.

It required a whopping 100 million won.

"It's okay."

Wasn't he once a Goldrigger?

To him, gaining Sung JiHan's trust to fulfill his dream was more important than 10 million won.

His fingers moved urgently.

"Sung JiHan-nim! Those guild members are trying to commit suicide for 1 billion! Be careful!"

This was the third sponsorship message on Sung JiHan's channel, following TakeDa and Yoon SeA.

* * *

Sung JiHan felt a slightly uncomfortable feeling when he heard that Kim GyuHyuk, who had betrayed him in the previous defense game, was willing to pay 50 million won to break the crystal.

50 million won.

And it wasn't even an amount collected by the fans of the Black Eagle Guild.

It was the mission amount thrown by the big shot, 898 of the Black Eagle Guild, all at once.

No matter how much of a fan I am of the Sword King, it was not easily convincing.

"...Rather, the Sword King who told me to curse at him seemed more like a fan."

However, even though there were suspicious circumstances, I didn't want to jump to conclusions based on just one case.

Because his fan base is so strong and he has money to spare, he could easily throw 50 million won.

But.

The 1 billion won that BJ Geumbit informed me about crossed the line.

"Everyone, isn't this strange?"

Even though Sung JiHan had blocked the chat during the game, he could still speak to the viewers.

"When it was 50 million won, I thought it could be possible. Because of that Sword King. I thought a big shot could sponsor."

- 50 million won is...

- How much would he have gathered when he received the mission to kill Sung JiHan?

- But that was because the Sword King's fans gathered and donated. It's different from someone sponsoring individually, right?

- The part about determining the king.

"But 1 billion is a different story. To be precise..."

Sung JiHan pointed at the three players with his finger, one by one.

"It's 3 billion."

- Ah, 3 billion is crossing the line.

- Are they trying to make Sung JiHan suffer with 3 billion? Where can you find a crazy person who spends that much money?

- Second-generation chaebol?

- Yeah, the chaebols cut ties with the Sword King.

Once, there were many chaebols who claimed to be fans of the Sword King.

But after he went to Japan, they deleted posts showing their friendship with him, took down advertisements, and showed actions that drew a line.

As time passed, public opinion would come to hate the Sword King, so they cut ties before sparks flew for no reason.

- Then who is it?

- Isn't it the Sword King?

- It's not like they gathered money together, they threw it all at once.

Not 50 million won, but 3 billion.

No matter how much of a Sword King he is, this was an unreasonable amount.

"This can't simply be attributed to something the Sword King did. It's a bigger force than that. A group with such financial power that they can throw 3 billion won and desperately want to see my status window..."

Hmm.

Sung JiHan pondered while stroking his chin.

"Who could it be?"

A person who fits the conditions Sung JiHan listed.

Both Sung JiHan and the viewers thought of one person.

- Uh... Could it be?

- Take-chan?????

- The New Believers have a lot of money.

- That's right! They always ask him to open his mailbox and show his status window. It's suspicious!!!!

- No, it could be China.

- China, what a giant country!

The chat room was filled with arguments.
