[Korea advances to the finals!] [The King of Swords, who earned the mage class, becomes the number one contributor to leading Korea to the finals.] [The Korean national team, with its weaknesses gone, now faces the United States as its final opponent.]-Wow, I never thought I would see our country reach the finals in my lifetime... … .
-That's right. I thought that no matter how good Seong Ji-han was, if he got banned, it would be difficult to win above the semifinals... … .
-We won everything except for one loss to England lol.
-If the US wins 3:0, will Britain become second in the world?
-How do you beat the US 3:0? ㅡㅡ; Please control your excitement
Excluding the game against England, the Korean national team advanced to the finals with a landslide 3-0 win.
However, the opponent in the finals, the United States, was a powerful opponent on a different level.
-In the first place, Battle.net's interface and language itself are English because it's in the United States haha.
- Even India won without having to participate, but the United States... … .
- Didn't our supporters' hope, Sophia, come from the United States?
-I couldn't get in because I wasn't at the right level. If I had joined the American support team, I would have been in the top 3.
-TOP3… … In the US, there are more than 3 Sophia-level supporters.
The United States defeated China 3:1 in the semifinals.
In terms of objective power, they were greatly overwhelming Korea.
The only thing that Korea can compete with is the warrior picture with the Sword King, and the archer character who became stronger with the addition of Yoon Se-ah.
And these two classes are also worth fighting against, not that they can beat the US.
Even if warriors and archers are equal.
The wizard and support classes were overwhelmingly inferior.
Battlenet experts say Korea may struggle.
Everyone predicted that the United States would win in the end.
However, if it is a variable in the finals.
-If Seong Ji-han doesn't get banned… … .
-We might win.
By far, it was Seong Ji-han.
In the guild mission held just before, Seong Ji-han showed a significant difference from the current human ranker.
He was a cheat who blew up the game once he played.
-If you win just one game in games 1 and 2, and have the ban removed twice in games 3, 4, and 5, you win.
-Ah, but I got banned a lot this time ㅡㅡ There was only one game that Seong Ji-han participated in. 3 games against India.
-That's all stack accumulation for the finals.
-ㄹㅇ Now, I'm going to avoid being banned like a ghost and become MVP of the finals haha.
Although Seong Ji-han only played once until the semifinals.
In other words, Korean fans were turning to hope, wondering if it was a trick.
Of course, American fans do the exact opposite.
-castle… … I guess I'm out of luck in this tournament. Let's just pray for his bad luck until tomorrow.
-that's right. He shouldn't be unlucky after tomorrow. There is also a battle ahead with the World Tree Elves.
-If they win 1 or 2 games and get banned once, the U.S. wins.
-Korea is a strong team, even excluding the last name, but they still can't beat us.
I hoped Seong Ji-han's bad luck would last until tomorrow's final.
"Wow, America… … "It's too strong."
Battlenet Center's power analysis room.
Yoon Se-ah sighed while watching the semifinal match between the United States and China.
This match attracted so much attention that the public evaluated it as a preview of the final.
It was a game in which the United States and China pulled out all the cards they had hidden from each other and mobilized all their strategic tactics to produce a spectacular match.
However, the score of this game was 3:1.
The power difference seen here was considerably larger than this score.
"The U.S. lost the second game because it was a bit careless."
"that's right. Wizard Barron made a critical mistake. "If it weren't for him, the U.S. would have overwhelmed China 3-0."
"Uncle Barron has two status windows, so why is he like that… … When will we get out of Vulcan?"
"It's going to be like that for the rest of my life."
Seong Ji-han glanced at the replay next to him and declared that.
Being a birdie in important games was Barron's trademark.
"I can't do it. "I really need my uncle to appear in the finals this time."
"They said they would give it as much as they wanted as long as the van was released. "I don't know what my luck will be in the finals."
"Now is the time to let loose! We'll win one game. "Give me two games!"
"Yes, I look forward to it."
Seong Ji-han nodded and looked into space.
That image feels like looking at a system message.
Yoon Se-jin, who was watching the performance of American players in the power analysis room, asked Seong Ji-han a question.
"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? "Has another quest or something appeared?"
"Oh, I was looking around the Battle.net market."
"market? Uncle, what are you looking for?"
"It turns out that a member of this tribe posted a video of themselves training on the market."
Seong Ji-han then recalled an incident from a few days ago.
* * *
Class heterogeneity is harmless.
Seong Ji-han, who had never really used this since changing jobs, experienced this effect through the Ten Thousand Demons the other day.
I was wondering if there was any way to utilize it further.
at that time.
-Experience of different races... … Master, how about looking into the Battle.net market?
Ariel, who had been silent in Seong Ji-han's arms for a long time recently, showed him a method.
-Do you sell things like that in the market?
-If you search by video, all kinds of things come up. Well, actually, most of it is useless data... … If you are curious about how different races use their power, you will get some indirect experience.
So, I searched for 'video sphere' on the Battle.net market.
As Ariel said, there were all kinds of videos searched with that keyword.
"Aha, uncle, that's why you've been staring into space these days. Cross-race training video… … "Can you help me?"
"First of all, 95% of the video equipment circulating in the market is trash. "More than half of them are cross-species mating scenes."
"Mate, mating?"
"uh. I don't know why these heterogeneous bastards are spreading their reproductive images on the market. Why are there so many eggs being laid there? … ."
Seong Ji-han frowned, recalling the video spheres he had discarded.
I tried to find out how this race used their power, but somehow, most of what came out was not nutritious.
Are there so many perverts in the universe?
"100% of the 1GP video spheres were of that type."
"Well, is that right? then… … "What about the remaining 5 percent?"
"That was kind of useful."
Training video of this race.
To Seong Ji-han, it was like a pearl in the mud.
Although it is a video distributed on the market, most of it is superficial and does not show in-depth training methods.
'It was a refreshing stimulus to see a different race using power.'
Seong Ji-han was unable to participate in the game due to a ban and was on standby.
While looking around the market, I used the class Heterogeneous Harmless.
"Training video. "Do you think it would be helpful if I looked at it?"
"Well, it helped me because of the class effect, but it won't help normal people at all. The feeling of moving one's wings, or the feeling of taking off one's own tail and running away... … "This won't provide much inspiration to the average player."
"Oh, that kind of thing…" … ."
"If you're curious, show me one."
"Yeah, let's take a look."
"Brother-in-law, can I see it too?"
Seong Ji-han nodded, took out a different race training video sphere from his inventory, and handed it to the two.
"How do you play it?"
"If you say play while touching it, it comes out like virtual reality."
"oh… … "After all, it's a newspaper article from Battle.net."
Two father and daughter shouting play while touching an object that looks like a wizard's crystal ball.
"… … How to fly farther? "What are you doing, how are you moving your back?"
"It looks like there is absolutely no place to use the experience of a race that creates fire from its mouth... … ."
The two immediately played the video and handed it back to Seong Ji-han, saying they did not understand it at all.
Although they were both players who had almost reached the peak of their respective Warrior and Archer classes.
Those people also seemed to have nothing to gain from the video office.
'If there is no heterogeneous harm, is this really useless? Well, it's like watching a documentary about a different race in VR.'
For the average player, purchasing video spheres is an act of throwing money into the air.
However, for Seong Ji-han, who possessed a variety of weapons, this had a very beneficial effect.
'After watching this video, the number of martial spirits I ranked is already 5.'
The stat increase was significant considering he was banned and played video balls on the bench.
Seong Ji-han decided to play the video of different races whenever he had time.
I was searching the Battle.net market.
at that time.
"Brother-in-law, can we talk outside for a moment?"
Sejin Yoon, who was also in the power analysis room, motioned upward to Jihan Seong.
A gesture to go to the rooftop.
Seong Ji-han closed the Battle.net Market window and nodded.
"Of course."
* * *
Battle.net Center rooftop.
"It's a nice day."
Yoon Se-jin spoke like that and looked at the sky.
'The gold color is getting darker.'
As the tournament progressed, Yoon Se-jin's golden eyes gradually became darker.
That light was shining most intensely at this moment.
"The Constellation told me to ask you if it was helpful."
"It was thanks to my brother-in-law that I made it to the finals. "Please tell me it has helped me a lot."
"is it. Good luck, then... … ."
Flash!
Light burst out of Yoon Se-jin's eyes.
A golden protective shield was formed, isolating the two people from the outside space.
"Since you helped me, may I ask you a question?"
"Is it Gilgamesh?"
"Yes."
"What are you curious about?"
"What is your quest reward?"
Is it a quest reward to come down and ask?
Seong Ji-han smiled and responded.
"I didn't know you were interested in such trivial things."
"I have never heard of a quest being given out after winning a match within the same race."
"okay? "I gave it to you."
"So, what is the quest reward? No, it doesn't matter what I receive. but."
Gilgamesh, who descended on Yoon Se-jin's body, got to the point.
"By any chance, if the reward is to confirm the candidate for the Holy See... … "I recommend not clearing it right now."
"Why? "Didn't you tell me to remain a variable?"
I don't know how he knew, but Gilgamesh seemed to have noticed the quest reward.
Rather than clumsily denying this, Seong Ji-han.
-I hope you continue to remain a variable.
-Until you become a candidate for the Holy See, the God of War will continue to target you, even if it means taking losses.
Recalling what he had said to me before, I asked him a question.
"If I become a candidate for the Holy See, I will become a 'variable' as you wish, right?"
"yes… … First, there is an order to things. You must survive the hand of Longinus before you can become a candidate for the Holy See. You have to overcome him. Only then can you become a true variable. You can awaken the 'third'."
Gilgamesh then gave Seong Ji-han an intense glow in his eyes.
"To overcome martial arts, this is the only way. For the sake of humanity, you and we must follow the planned order. Child, take my advice to heart. "Follow my words."
When Gilgamesh referred to Seong Ji-han as 'child'.
Seong Ji-han nodded without realizing it, almost complying with his will.
Gilgamesh's words that a 'human' must naturally hear.
However, the martial spirit within me wriggled as if in defiance.
Let's think about the experiences of different races that we have experienced so far.
"For the sake of humanity… … "The cause is grand."
Seong Ji-han was able to rebel against the 'king's command', which is absolute for humans.
"But if you don't convince me, I can't follow that."
And when Gilgamesh saw that, his eyes widened slightly as if he was surprised.
"… … Whoa. You completely disobey my words. good. Only then can it become a 'variable.'"
Instead, he smiled happily.
and.
"Still, I guess we have to stop this deviation… … "I will not allow you to win this time."
He spoke in a commanding tone until the end.
* * *
And the next day.
=Finally, the 1st game ban, selection begins… … !
=Uh… … In the US, they don't ban holy players... … .
From the first game of the finals, an upset occurred.
