Episode 585. Surprise (1)
VBC.
âI thought I was going to wake up in the morningâ¦â
Todayâs Arcana.
The staff were far away and glanced at Hyun Yongseok. Today was definitely a day to be cautious of the wind. They turned their heads and checked the ratings of Todayâs Arcana again.
âHow many million concurrent viewers is this?â
âIt canât be helped.â
âYeah, so is this our fault?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The reason for losing half the audience, or more, was simple.
âHow can we beat the Holy War Alliance Raid?â
This was because the long, epic The Great Yokai of the Valley of Blood, the Cruel God Killer Eight-headed Viper Raid was streamed via Netubers. Of course, they couldnât broadcast it live, so they had to rely on recorded footage.
âBut how could we keep up with the excitement!â
Isnât it natural that Todayâs Arcana, which could only invite experts to the studio, would be unable to keep up? Suddenly, the gaze of the staff turned to Yoon Jongjin.
âI really wish Yoon was a player.â
âHuh? All of a sudden? I? Do I look a bit out of place? Hehe.â
âThatâs not it, you could have taken a video.â
ââ¦â¦What the hell, did you say that?!â
Yoon Jongjin shook his head.
âYeah. Itâs just that I didnât jump into the Arcana Continent Biography when I was at my peak. Even if I had awakened as a player, the camera director would have been a joke. First, Iâll go to our current PDâ¦â¦.â
It was a moment when my imagination was about to unfold.
âJongjin.â
Hyun Yongseok called Yoon Jongjin meaningfully.
Has it started in earnest?
Hyun PDâs hysteria.
Houdadak.
âWhere are you all running awayâ¦â¦! â
Yoon Jongjin desperately tried to reach out, but the staff fled from the studio. In the end, Yoon Jongjin could only hesitantly approach Hyun Yongseok.
Of course, his mouth didnât stop moving.
âNo, senior. To put it bluntly, it was something that could not be helped, right? Hoyeol and the Lionheart Knights were probably beating that snake first, and they were joined by the Great Alliance and Shining, who are also on the same side? How can we, Today Arcana, respond to such a big deal?â
âWho said that?â
âWhat?â
Werenât you supposed to say something?
Yoon Jong-jin was stunned by the unexpected reaction.
Hyun Yongseok raised the corner of his mouth.
âItâs the best.â
âYeah, yeah ?! â
âItâs the best Iâve ever seen.â
How many years had they been together?
Yoon Jongjin knew Hyun Yongseokâs temper better than anyone.
Hyun was not the kind of person to admit things easily.
Especially when it comes to his field.
ââ¦â¦Senior, is there something wrong with my ears?â
Whatever the video was.
If it was the Hyun Yongseok that Yoon Jongjin knew, heâd have to poke fun at it somehow. Unless it was a picture he had designed, Hyun Yong-eok was not the kind of person who could smile like that, no matter how pleased he was with it.
However.
âNo matter what, I canât fault something like this.â
Hyun Yongseok was sincere.
What appeared on the monitor was.
It was an extremely crude video of NetTube players.
-âGuys, can you see it? Itâs so freaking big!!â
-âCrazy, Iâm in a status of abnormality?! First of all, Iâm going to jump out a little!!â
-âAaaaghhhhhhh!!!â
The shaky angles, the out-of-place voices, and the grainy picture quality. It was so full of problems that even Yoon Jongjin could catch a truckload of them.
âThe important thing is not these trivial things.â
It was the viewer.
Not to the players.
In Hyun Yongseokâs eyes.
âYouâve never seen anything like this before, have you, Jongjin? The Holy War Alliance is actually acting like a proper alliance. They must have been risking their lives behind our backs in the Rift, on the Arcana continent, risking their lives behind our backs, everyone.â
A whopping 2,000 levels. In the face of a gap that would have been a sure sign of defeat in the past, the Lionheart Knights and the players are undeterred.
âWe had everyone grow with experience, not experience points.â
And at the center of it all was Hoyeol.
His posture was the same as ever.
He stood tall and straight as ever.
Maybe thatâs why.
Maybe thatâs why I didnât notice.
âI almost missed it, but Iâm glad you held the baton.â
The tide of battle changes with each movement of the baton.
After all, I knew nothing about command.
I could feel it intuitively.
Yoon Jongjin opened his mouth in unison.
âI hate to say this, but youâre starting to sound like the Commander in Chief.â
Hyun Yongseok nodded.
âOf course it is.â
Commander-in-Chief of the Holy War Alliance.
In fact, it was not a position suitable for Hoyeol.
It was not Hoyeol who was the problem, but the members of the Holy War Alliance.
When the Holy War Alliance was out in force.
It was always Hoyeol alone who faced and defeated the enemy.
However, The Great Yokai of the Valley of Blood, the Cruel God Killer Eight-headed Viper Raid was different.
The Holy War Alliance was victorious even without Hoyeol at the front.
âDid you have coffee before that?â
âCoffee? No.â
âIâll shoot. Follow me.â
âYeah, yeah ?! â
Yes, Hyun Yongseok liked the view.
Of course, Hyun Yongseok was a man with a persistent temper.
This meant that he was not a person who would give up on viewers like this.
He looks at everything in the world with a pointed gaze.
Even when I see it with my own eyes, it is so touching.
I wonder what it would be like to see it through viewersâ eyes.
âNo, the sun must be rising in the west, and senior has finished his coffeeâ¦â¦.â
What stopped Yoon Jongjin, who was leading the way with excitement.
It was Hyun Yongseokâs cool voice.
Hyun Yongseok didnât seem to mind.
âWell, if youâre thinking about rolling, you should get some caffeine infusion first thing in the morning.â
With so much good sauce pouring out of him, Hyun Yongseok wasnât one to let it go. Yoon Jongjin, who knew Hyun Yongseok almost as well as the years they had been together, sighed.
âIt was quiet for some reason, really!â
âDonât think about running away, get ready.â
âPrepare? Prepare for what, again?â
Hyun Yongseok asked as if he were asking the obvious.
âShouldnât we be interviewing for the Holy War Alliance? Weâll use it as a documentary.â
