<Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 121>
“As the number of petitioners has already exceeded 300,000, I hope that the administration will provide a truthful answer to the public… … Phew.”
Oh Gyu-seung, the newly appointed Battle.net Management Director, read the official document in his hand and sighed.
“No, if I wait just a little longer, I will be selected for the national team. Why is it so urgent that it catches fire in just one day? … .”
Player Seong Ji-han.
Among all the promising players in the world, isn’t he the most popular player?
His performance was so outstanding that the management bureau was thinking of selecting him for the national team as soon as he was promoted to DIA.
“Just looking at that person’s growth rate, it looks like he’ll become a diamond in no time.”
“I think the broadcast of yesterday’s loss came with a great sense of crisis.”
In response to the manager’s lament, Manager Park Yun-sik, who brought the official document, spoke cautiously.
“Because we were defeated so miserably by Taiwan… … .”
“The Sword King, who was the core of the national strategy, has gone to Japan. “There’s nothing we can do about it.”
The basic tactic of Hangu’s national team is to block the enemy’s onslaught with a small group of elite warriors and waste time.
It was a method of sniping the enemy’s core forces one by one with powerful archer power.
Extreme attack distribution with most of the defense focused on a small number of warriors.
At first glance, it may have been a reckless strategy.
When the Sword King was around, it worked like an invincible tactic.
Because the Sword King was so strong, he was unable to cover the entire front line with just a small number of warriors, and instead crushed the enemy warrior camp.
While time was wasting away, the archers’ ultra-long-distance sniping was effective.
However, once the Sword King, who was the core of the team, disappeared, this tactic completely collapsed.
“yes… … The current national team’s front line is too weak. “Of all the competitors in the Northeast Asian League, the Warriors are by far the weakest.”
“okay. Yesterday too, they were defeated by Taiwanese Warriors.”
There was a joke that Korean players’ talent as warriors was all concentrated on the sword king.
But it was real.
Except for the Sword King, all other warriors lacked capabilities compared to warriors from other countries.
Especially in the Northeast Asian League, which is considered one of the most competitive leagues in the world, the difference in level was clearly revealed.
This weakness was hidden when the Sword King was around, but after he left, it became very visible.
“Still, isn’t it a bit impossible to pick Gold as a national team in the first place?”
“… … It’s not impossible. “When Battle.net was first introduced, Gold and Platinum also competed in national competitions.”
“That’s because no one had leveled up to Diamond at that time. “It’s been 10 years now.”
“That is true, but it is not allowed according to the regulations set by our country’s administration, but according to the regulations of the World Battle.net Federation, it is possible to participate. So, that part is also emphasized in the national petition.”
“Well, if the other country were to select a Gold Leaguer for the national team, there would be no way to reject it, so there would be no way for there to be a rule… … “It’s a pain in the ass.”
Oh Gyu-seung covered his head with both hands.
Does it make sense to select Gold as the national representative?
To be honest, I just wanted to take my time.
‘Anyway, if we just wait a little longer, Seong Ji-han will quickly move up to the higher league.’
The Northeast Asian league in the second half of this year was ruined anyway.
With yesterday’s loss to Taiwan, Korea’s last place finish was virtually confirmed.
Rather than being swayed by public opinion and forcefully selecting Seong Ji-han, I wanted to just take my time and wait for Seong Ji-han to come up naturally.
but.
‘I couldn’t believe my previous predecessor left like that… … .’
It reminded me of the former director of the management bureau who was fired from this sweet position after arguing with Seong Ji-han for no reason.
Although he was a man with quite a strong influence in the political world, he was unable to maintain his position due to the criticism from public opinion.
“To be honest, it seems premature to pick gold. It might be platinum, but it’s gold… … Besides, Seong Ji-han won’t come up soon anyway.”
“I think so too. Selecting Gold as a national representative is a burden for the administration. “As of now, 300,000 people have petitioned, but if he is actually elected, there will be a huge amount of opposition.”
“that’s right. But there is something that bothers me. I restored the relationship between the management bureau and Seong Ji-han due to circumstances, but I don’t want this incident to ruin it… … .”
Manager Park Yun-sik recalled how the manager of the management bureau boldly went to the waiting guild leader and appealed to him.
You’ve worked so hard, but you probably don’t want your relationship to go sour for no reason.
“But, does Seong Ji-han really want to become a national representative?”
“… … Isn’t it obvious? I am the Battle.net national representative. “Isn’t it the honor of the family?”
“Although the national petition has now surpassed 300,000, if Gold becomes the national representative, there will be a lot of public opinion opposing it. “Wouldn’t he rather join the national team now and get criticized by public opinion, rather than move up later?”
“hmm… … .”
Oh Gyu-seung shook his head as if it made sense.
“Then, can you please find out his intentions?”
“I-you mean me…?” … .”
“okay. “Aren’t you the closest person to Seong Ji-han in the management bureau?”
How friendly is that?
It’s just that I’m the most familiar person in the management office, so it’s quite a burden to meet him in person.
Still, the director was talking about it, so I couldn’t say no.
“… … All right.”
“And, because I was watching, secretly… … If you want to play for the national team… … More than just gold. okay. “At least ask if it would be good to do it at Platinum level or higher.”
I started talking for no reason and ended up taking on more work.
Park Yun-sik regretted bringing up Seong Ji-han’s story and bowed his head to the management director.
“… … yes. “I will go and find out.”

Same day.
Seong Ji-han had cleared today’s game and was logging out.
‘Is it a level up today?’

The type of game I cleared this time was Invade Map.
Yesterday’s defense game’s level went up a lot, perhaps because it reached a level where Direrigor cleared it.
Because the invasion map was not at that level, the experience reward was slow.
Seong Ji-han calculated the level-up speed by putting the remaining points into military power.
‘If I keep leveling up at this rate, I might be able to participate in the promotion battle in October.’
The level required to participate in the Gold to Platinum promotion match is 100.
It was an impossible pace for a player who had just upgraded from Silver to Gold to participate in just one month.
The system was giving Seong Ji-han experience points to help him move up to a higher league, so it seemed like he would be able to reach level 100 by the 25th.
‘Since it’s been upgraded to Gold, the survival and dungeon maps will have changed as well. I guess I’ll have to look forward to seeing the new map.’
Because in the new map, you will be able to gain more experience points.
at that time.
smart-
Yoon Se-ah’s voice was heard along with the knocking sound.
“uncle. me. I have something to say… … .”
“uh. come in.”
Yoon Se-ah, who came to Seong Ji-han’s room, had a quite serious expression on her face.
“What’s going on?”
“I was thinking about it while playing a game today.”
She began speaking cautiously.
“Uncle, riding the bus. now… … “I thought I’d stop.”
“… … why? “Your level isn’t going up?”
“no. It climbs really well. “I went up two levels today.”
“Um, is there something uncomfortable?”
“huh. What can I say… … I feel like I have nothing to do. “It feels like my actual skills are not improving, but my level is only going up.”
Seong Ji-han nodded.
It was worth feeling like that.
As for today’s game, it was safe to say that Yoon Se-ah had virtually no contribution.
“You can play two games just by waiting. “One round of the game is played using your skills, but do you think that’s not enough?”
“huh… … little? “With skills like this, I don’t think I’ll be able to win the TOP 100.”
“… … “Was that really what you were aiming for?”
“of course. You have to move up to C level, right? “It’s much faster to win the top 100 than to play 500 rounds with a 60 percent win rate.”
Yoon Se-ah speaks confidently.
Seong Ji-han looked at that and laughed.
“okay. Anyway, I met the conditions for the long-term D-grade upgrade. Then come up on your own.”
“huh!”
“Then I guess I’ll have to call Sophia and break up the party.”
“… … ah. “Yeah, really?”
“uh. “I’m not really raising you, so there’s no need to maintain a party.”
When Seong Ji-han said that, Yoon Se-ah scratched her cheek.
I kept watching from the side to see how much Sophia enjoyed partying with Seong Ji-han.
He felt sorry for making me look bad because of him.
“eww… … Uncle, then should we just have the party twice a week?”
“Why again?”
“ah. It’s just that it would be a shame to completely disband the party! lol.”
Seong Ji-han had a vague idea why Yoon Se-ah was acting like that, but he quickly nodded.
‘Because if you are unlucky, your winning rate may not be 60%. ‘I need to win at least two rounds.’
Yoon Se-ara already had two rare stats, so a 60% win rate wasn’t an unreasonable condition.
In Seong Ji-han’s opinion, it seemed like there were still many shortcomings.
“okay. Then I’ll contact Sophia!”
And then Yoon Se-ah leaves the room.
Not long after, I received a call from Lee Ha-yeon.
[Owner! A guest from the management bureau came to visit.]
“From the administration?”
[yes. Manager Park Yun-sik came… … that. I said I had something to tell you about the national team.]
“Why are you suddenly a member of the national team?”
[uh… … Don’t you know that the petition from the public to elect you as the national representative has reached over 300,000?]
“yes?”
Seong Ji-han was dumbfounded.
Why do you make a national petition, and up to 300,000 people gather there?
‘Did I have that many fans?’
Seong Ji-han thought so and answered Lee Ha-yeon.
“I’ll go down to the guild first.”
* * *
Waiting guild office.
“… … So, the administration is in a situation where it has to respond to the public’s petition.”
Seong Ji-han listened to Manager Park Yun-sik explain the background of this national petition.
“Did we lose that badly to Taiwan?”
“hmm… … “Didn’t you watch the game yesterday?”
“yes. “I was busy practicing.”
Since there was not much time left until the attempt to unify the Samdanjeon, Seong Ji-han was only concerned about that.
Moreover, the national team losing was something he had expected, so he wasn’t really watching.
“I lost a bit badly. Compared to other countries, Taiwan’s warrior camp is weaker, so I thought they could at least get one win. “It just broke through.”
“No matter what, what kind of gold is enough to become a national representative? “Isn’t the national team standard now DIA level 225 or higher?”
Diarigor starting at level 200.
However, they also felt a wall starting from level 225.
From this point on, the amount of experience gained decreases significantly, and the experience lost when you lose is much larger.
Unless your skills are truly outstanding, most diamonds stagnate at levels 200 to 225.
Among those diamonds, there are those who have overcome the wall.
Only such players were eligible to join the national team.
“yes. you’re right. In the case of the warrior camp, there are some levels below that, but… … .”
“No, was there anything under 225?”
“yes. Since there is no supply of warrior class… … .”
“That’s a bit harsh.”
Although I thought the level of the national team would be miserable, I had no idea that those below level 225 would be selected.
The empty seat of the Sword King is huge.
“I… … What do you think, Jihan Seong? “Do you have any thoughts about becoming a national representative?”
“For me, who is still Gold, it’s timing… … .”
Seong Ji-han, who was about to express his refusal all at once, stopped speaking for a moment.
‘for a moment. I think I’ll get quite a bit of achievement points if I’m selected for the national team with gold, right?’
Haven’t I already spent over 600,000 achievement points recently, leaving me broke?
If you become a member of the national team, you will definitely have an opportunity to make up for it.
‘But you shouldn’t cause trouble to the national team with your lack of skills.’
Seong Ji-han’s current level is 70.
There was a far difference from the national team’s level.
If you agree to collect achievement points for no reason, but cause trouble to the national team, what kind of shame is this?
still… … .
“Yesterday’s game. “Let’s just take a look at the Warrior camp.”
I was curious about the current level of the national team.
“yes. “I’m here and ready!”
That’s how Seong Ji-han watched the highlight scene of yesterday’s game prepared by Lee Ha-yeon.
=Ahh! It collapses! It’s falling apart! Korean national team… … !
=You just have to block it! You can’t do that!
=Ah! Another warrior!
“… … “Why can’t I do this?”
Looking at the national team warriors who were instantly trampled by the Taiwanese warriors.
I clearly realized that being selected for the national team was not an indecent act at all.
