The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 176

Live rehearsal game broadcasted on the Sung JiHan channel.

The impact it brought grew steadily.

Experiencing the Space League game that was shrouded in mystery also attracted public attention.

But what captured more attention was the reward for achieving a kill point of 10,000.

Giving all participants +7 stat points.

And giving the Earth player a tremendous reward of growth bonus for 5 years.

-Growth bonus... that's amazing!

-Isn't +7 stat points more valuable right now?

-No, if you look at it in the long run, the 5-year growth bonus seems better.

-We need to form a proper team right away and somehow achieve 10,000 points!

-As long as we have Sung JiHan, isn't it enough for humanity to survive?

-Yeah, seriously, let's get on the bus properly. Let's wear seat belts, seriously.

As a reward that is practically a bonus for the entire Earth.

Viewers from all over the world gathered their voices and agreed that they needed to form a dream team.

And in this atmosphere of public opinion.

Naturally, the World Battle.net Federation could be read.

"Regarding this game, the Federation needs to actively participate."

In the World Battle.net Federation, there was an urgent meeting about the rehearsal map.

"The rewards for the rehearsal map are tremendous. For the sake of humanity, we must obtain 10,000 points."

"Sung JiHan is so powerful that the remaining 500 team members just need to stay alive. If we choose warriors and supporters and stand firm, won't we get good results?"

"We need to form a team in our Federation to synchronize with Sung JiHan."

"The selection should be done entirely by the Federation."

The main current of the meeting was that the player selection should be done by the Battle.net Federation.

"Well, I feel a little awkward about Sung JiHan because of the incident with the Sword King..."

"But didn't we compromise on that? We reached a good agreement, didn't we?"

"Yeah! How lenient was the punishment for the Sword King in the North Korean dungeon exploration?"

There were attendees at the meeting who were concerned about the relationship with Sung JiHan.

But the majority opinion was that since the Battle.net Federation had been lenient, there was no need to worry.

Especially the countries in Northeast Asia that tried to somehow suspend the participation of the Sword King.

Representatives from China, Japan, and Russia argued that the player selection must be done by the Federation.

"If we leave it solely to Sung JiHan, we can discriminate against people based on their nationality."

"That's right. We must have the authority to select players in the Federation!"

Thus, in order to obtain the authority to select players for the rehearsal map, the World Battle.net Federation dispatched a representative to Korea.

And after three days.

Sword Palace's waiting guild office.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Nicholas Joseph, Deputy Director of the External Cooperation Department of the World Battle.net Federation."

The representative of the Federation had arrived.

* * *

Nicholas Joseph.

The middle-aged African American man wearing glasses shook hands with Sung JiHan in fluent Korean.

Nicholas, who boasted a considerable physique.

Seemed more suited to be a bodyguard than a deputy director.

"The Federation is showing great interest in this rehearsal game. Before coming to Korea, I've already watched three games... You haven't achieved great results."

"You watched the matches."

"Who on Earth wouldn't be watching Sung JiHan's matches these days?"

Nicholas smiled, revealing his white teeth.

As he said.

After receiving the contact from the World Battle.net Federation at the waiting guild, for the three days until Nicholas was dispatched from New York.

Sung JiHan tried to gather platinum elites in his own way.

But.

"It wasn't easy."

There are two ways to gather party members for the rehearsal game.

Random matching or, alternatively, Sung JiHan would open a rehearsal game participation team and select players.

For three days, we tried the latter.

[Even though my level is only 170... I can work hard! Please pick me just once!]

[Wow!! It's Sung JiHan!! I have to take a picture! Hehehe!]

[Please give me your autograph!]

There was chaos.

We mercilessly kicked out these people and it took quite some time to start the game with players who were all level 200.

And then.

[Wait, you're not using a shield?]

[Wait, the warrior can't handle that either?]

[This team doesn't have good teamwork...]

Even though we brought players who were close to Platinum max level, there wasn't much difference in the timing of the team's annihilation.

The chimeras that came out of the Chaos Rift were the only ones we could handle.

[The ground is turning upside down...!]

While confronting the enemy.

When an earthquake occurred and rifts appeared from all directions, our formation broke and we were slaughtered by the chimeras again.

Sung JiHan alone couldn't stop everything, and the situation continued for three consecutive days.

-Wow, is this the limit of humanityㅠㅠ

-There must be a good reason for the 10,000 point reward. It's impossible to break through, right?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Do the dragon-like beings earn points through racial favoritism while the lower races are discriminated against here too?ㅠㅠ

-Life in the universe is the same. Shitㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Hey, dude, at this rate, won't we become chimeras too?

The expectations for the 10,000 points gradually disappeared.

Nicholas, who had been watching the whole process and came to the waiting guild, could confidently speak up.

"With the current method, it won't be easy for you to earn 10,000 points."

"So?"

"Our federation will actively support Sung JiHan. We will recruit the elite among Platinum players, thoroughly train their teamwork, and have them participate in the game."

"Hmm..."

"A considerable number of players have given up on the November promotion and expressed their willingness to participate. The players you have brought so far were undoubtedly of a high level, but as you know, Battle.net... There is a big difference between having good teamwork and not having it. In line with the founding purpose of the federation, we will form a team that can clear the rehearsal map for the sake of humanity."

That's how the World Battle.net Federation asked them to entrust the team selection authority to them.

"It's more convenient to entrust it to them."

From Sung JiHan's perspective, who had personally recruited for the past three days.

In fact, it was a hundred times more convenient to entrust it to the waiting guild itself.

"Even though the guild's workload is already heavy, it would be difficult to add this on..."

And the federation was too strong to compete with them.

As an official organization recognized by Battle.net, it was best to go along with them while coexisting.

But.

"Is that all?"

"Yes?"

There was no need to go out of their way to cooperate with them.

We should receive everything and deal damage on equal terms.

"I asked for the team selection authority, so there must be something to give."

Speaking so openly, Nicholas smirked.

As expected of Sung JiHan, he was straightforward.

Even when facing him as the representative of the federation, he didn't hesitate to negotiate.

"Ah, I didn't mention that. The federation has decided to completely withdraw the punishment imposed on Lord Geomwang. If you investigate the North Korean dungeon until December, you can return to the representative team at any time after that."

The rift between Sung JiHan and the federation was because of the Geomwang issue.

The Battle.net Federation thought that if they rolled back that, the relationship would improve.

They proposed it to Sung JiHan as if they were giving him something great.

"But that's not necessary."

In the first place, it was a matter of loyalty.

In fact, the federation was already providing the North exploration infrastructure that Geomwang wanted.

If you roll this back, we will be at a loss.

Of course, if Gyeomwang joins the national team early, we could continue to be in first place from March onwards.

"Being in first place in March or being in first place later, it's the same when it comes to Champions."

But Sung JiHan decided to take what he wanted from the Federation.

"That's fine."

"Ah... Are you sure?"

"Yes. My brother-in-law also wants to do more dungeon exploration. Instead, please designate our standby guild as the 'Guild of the Year' in the Federation."

"Um... That's..."

Nicholas adjusted his glasses.

Guild of the Year.

This selection of 100 guilds worldwide had the effect of increasing the guild-wide option level by +2 for the selected guilds.

Compared to Sung JiHan's Phoenix Feather, the effect was only half as effective.

But guilds were lining up in the World Battle.net Federation to obtain this.

"That has already been decided..."

"It's one of the 100 spots. Exclude one from the Northeast Asian countries. Then I'll accept players from those Northeast Asian countries as well."

"Um... From Northeast Asia?"

"Did you think they were just coming in without any reason? Doing such things?"

Nicholas couldn't answer Sung JiHan's counter-question.

From China, Japan, Russia, and even Taiwan.

All the Northeast Asian countries had put in a lot of effort to disqualify Gyeomwang and even Sung JiHan.

It was already a well-known fact.

"I understand... We will include the standby guild in the Guild of the Year."

Nicholas gave a firm answer from his position, having been delegated considerable authority from the Federation.

"I'm tempted by the authority to select players."

With 7 stat points, it was worth considering.

He could have fought back against the Northeast Asian countries, but Sung JiHan decided to let it go for now.

"If I try to completely exclude the Northeast Asian countries with this, I might face a backlash from public opinion. It's most important to win over the global audience."

Thinking that way, Sung JiHan made a decision and made a few more demands to the Federation representative.

"Oh, and we will also select about 20 people from our guild."

"Yes, understood."

"And..."

"And...?"

As Sung JiHan's demands continued, Nicholas asked with an uneasy expression.

"For the opening match of the Space League, please put me in the lineup unconditionally."

Sung JiHan's final request was actually what the Federation wanted.

Who wouldn't choose him, a warrior who competes for the top 1 or 2 in the world?

"That's something we will ask from our side."

"I said 'unconditionally'."

"Understood!"

Thinking that this was the easiest demand among all the requests.

Nicholas confidently replied.

* * *

[World Battle.net Federation announces the formation of a Dream Team for rehearsal!]

[A level 200 Platinum player gives up the promotion match on the 25th and challenges the rehearsal one after another.]

"Don't attack! Just hold on! The classes selected by the Federation are mainly warriors and supporters."

[World Battle.net Federation announces that they will include a 'standby guild' in the 'Guild of the Year'.]

-In the end, the Federation is selecting the players.

-That's good. Sung JiHan was trying to select them, but what's with the market demand... There are so many people asking for autographs...

-But it seems like they made a deal by including the standby guild in the Guild of the Year.

-Taiwan is going crazy right now. The place that was supposed to enter the Guild of the Year got disqualified. Lol.

-Taiwan said that Gyeomwang should also be disqualified, and Japan agreed. They just stayed quiet back then~

-Ugh, it's a shame that Japan got disqualified.

- Their lobbying power is at the top.

"Ugh... Uncle, my winning article is flooded, so make my victory article really short!"

November 25th.

After finally reaching level 100, Yoon Sae-ah, who won first place in the Top 100 Gold Promotion Match, stuck out her lips while reading the portal site article.

"You also have an article."

['Cheonma' Wang Lin and 'Status Window 2' Baerun failed to take first place! This promotion match was filled with unexpected events!]

[They're messing up the game! Negative comments from around the world flood Yoon Sae-ah's BattleTube.]

The global Top 100 Gold Promotion Match.

This promotion match had many potential winners, with Sung JiHan taking the lead and Baerun and Wang Lin falling behind.

In addition, soccer prodigy Masid, who quickly leveled up, and several other players were considered contenders for the victory.

But in the end, Yoon Sae-ah was the one who won.

She repeated shooting arrows and hiding in the empty veil of emptiness, to the point where it made people curse.

"This is unbelievable!! Even my nephew...!!"

After hearing Baerun's cry, she was able to claim victory.

As a result, her BattleTube was flooded with negative comments from netizens around the world, despite the usual antagonistic relationship.

"Haha, negative comments... Isn't that a compliment for messing up the game?"

Yoon Sae-ah chuckled as she watched the flood of negative comments from people around the world on her BattleTube.

Now, she was immune to mental damage from negative comments.

Instead, she reached a point where she laughed and chuckled while watching them.

"It's a compliment. Especially when foreigners curse at me."

"That's right, that's right. It makes me feel like I made an impact~"

As Uncle and nephew shared their empathy for the negative comments...

"Oh, but it's a shame~ They said they won't choose archers for the rehearsal."

Yoon Sae-ah looked at the article with a disappointed expression.

Although she quickly climbed up to Platinum, she didn't meet the participation requirements for this game.

However, Sung JiHan looked at her as if asking what she was talking about.

"You should come too, what are you talking about?"

"Uh... Can I participate even though I'm level 1,000? Isn't that against fairness?"

"I can choose 20 people as I please. And your survivability is top-notch."

"Wow, really? You're choosing me?! But my level is too low, is that okay?"

"It's fine, I'll bring a few more people besides you. Even if they're low level."

Recently, Sung JiHan had been playing rehearsals and was certain.

"I need to raise some useful players."

Now, Sung JiHan could carry the game alone by grabbing the opponent's neck.

But once he entered the main game of the Space League, he wouldn't be able to finish it all by himself.

He needed the SSS-grade gifted players to grow on a global scale.

"Is that so? Ugh, but I feel bad... My level is too low."

"Are you okay with receiving curses?"

"Being called deadly is a compliment. It feels like I'm getting Uncle's backing, hehe."

"Then let's level up a bit more."

"I can't play the game until the 30th, you know?"

"Oh, then we can play a special map together, right?"

"Special map?"

"Yeah."

Sung JiHan remembered the map he received from the Brain God.

"A special dungeon map, 'Divine Throne - Brain God,' will be opened for player Sung JiHan."

"The special dungeon map can only be entered by Sung JiHan and his party, who are authorized players."

"The special dungeon map can only be entered once a week."

"The special dungeon map does not count towards the daily game play limit."

If they bring their nephew, even if he's level 1 or 2, it should be enough.

"And we need to find the answer from the Brain God."

The Brain God, who didn't want to answer why he wanted the enemy, Sung JiHan didn't want to hear his answer through the system.

He decided to listen to it after a month had passed.
