If you want to play the game easily?

The best way is if you do well.

It sounds irresponsible, but nothing is more certain. If you know how to play games well, you can play games very easily.

The problem is that very few people are good at games.

Of course, such people have an easy way to play games.

Temper and skill red.

At least with these two things at GOTWORDS, even a player who is not good at games can easily play.

'What a damn game.’

But this, too, was not a way for everyone to use.

Because for the two things I mentioned earlier, I had to have a full pocket.

In the case of Godworth, it had to be enough to burst because of what was inside.

Eventually, those who had no money in their pockets had no choice but to make the game difficult.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with it in itself.

If you play games for self-satisfaction, you can enjoy the process even if it's difficult.

But Midas' case was different.

'I've done all sorts of things about this game.’

Self-satisfaction was not tolerated for Midas, who somehow had to produce better results than others, thereby recognizing his worth and earning money through him.

Therefore, he rolled his head to make a better result somehow in a difficult situation.

'That's when the oil potion came out.

At that time, Midas made the oil potion.

It was not a difficult concept.

If you just set your body on fire, it won't burn as well as you think.

I made it for Goblin.’

In the case of monsters with no hair like Goblin, the affected areas were very few to catch fire, even though they might be burned.

What's the way to make that kind of fire last a second?

It wasn't hard to think of oil here.

And getting the oil wasn't hard either.

The problem is the existence of a tool that allows the oil to be stored and sprayed simultaneously on the target.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to get or make something like a sprayer or a water gun in Godworth.

However, it is too inconvenient to pour water while filling a huge container with oil.

'It was great to think of an empty potion bottle.’

There Midas came up with an empty potion bottle.

I thought it would be easy to get and use the empty potion bottle that I threw away after using the expensive one.

So I filled the empty potion bottle with oil.

'I never thought it'd go into the inventory.’

The story changed as soon as he confirmed that he was treated as an item and stored in the inventory.

As soon as it became known, oil potion became an indispensable hot item for the flame machine wizards.

'If only I could have patented it.'

For Midas, who found out the truth on his own, it is a very unfortunate point in a sense.

'Well, it's past.’

But Midas didn't dwell on the regret of that time now.

'A story that's not worth caring about unless you're hit by a truck and you're going back.

I knew enough that the past was meaningless to dwell on.

So Midas looked forward, not backward.

Come on!

A goblin appeared before Midas' eyes.

'Oh, yellow!'

Goblin with yellow light in her heart.

4.

Bugak!

An oil-filled potion bottle struck Goblin's back of the head, spouting a sharp sound.

Squeak!

Immediately, Goblin's mouth was filled with astonishment.

Surprised Goblin swung his head in the direction the bottle flew in.

It was the moment.

Poong!

A ball of fire the size of an adult man's fist hit Goblin's head in one blow.

Come on!

Goblin screamed and began to rub his hand against the face hit by the fireball.

Wharl!

At the same time, Goblin's back of the head caught fire.

You little punkiddyyay!

Goblin now changed his hand and began to shake off his back of my head, not his face.

Bugak!

Then this time, the oil potion bottle was smashed into the forehead of Goblin.

Goblin's face is covered with grease.

Wharl!

Naturally, the fire on the back of the head led to Goblin's face, and Goblin's head quickly became a fireball.

Goblin began to struggle to put out such a fireball.

Then Midas appeared.

In the presence of such Midas, Goblin did not respond properly.

For now, he was not even aware of Midas.

Come on!

In addition, Goblin's two most powerful weapons, his hands, were being mobilized solely to put out the fire that stuck to his head.

perfect defenselessness

Cuckoo!

Midas' club began to use merciless violence against Goblin's body.

From Goblin's point of view, there is no way to deal with it.

'There's no way more certain than this.'

In other words, it was a perfect way to catch goblins.

There was only one option Goblin could make in the face of such an attack.

I'm just waiting to be below HP schedule.

Come on!

So as soon as HP went over a certain level, Goblin began to run away without looking back.

Midas was not pursued by such Goblin's escape.

"Fireball."

He shouted the magic spell on the spot.

Then a small wizard appeared on his palm, which turned into a thread form and soon turned into a fireball.

Midas held the fireball lightly and posed as if he were playing a light catch at Goblin.

But I didn't throw it right away.

Midas waited.

'Ten meters.'

The moment the distance from Goblin was more than 10 meters, he threw a fireball.

Poong!

The fireball, which had left such a hand, was precisely stuck in the back of Goblin, who was running away.

The moment we finish it up so that it can't be more perfect.

[We got Goblin.]

[Finpoint control title achieved.]

[Run will be paid as a reward.]

And it was the moment Midas' goal was fulfilled today.

'Okay.'

Midas straightened out the situation.

'I've collected all 30 pieces of goblin leather.'

First, I checked the item.

"Item routing."

I opened the inventory after finishing item looting on Goblin's body.

Thirty goblin leathers and seven grudges of goblin caught my eye.

a result that seems insignificant to a layman

But it was the result of a player who caught Goblin at Goblin at the GOD.

Goblin's odds of rancor were known to be 3.3 percent among players, one out of every 30.

'That's a ridiculous rate.’

But Midas got as many as seven grudges from Goblin when he caught 30.

At this pace, the cost of living and games this month will be fine.’

Profits were never small.

I'm going to buy Hyelin ice cream for her when she gets home today.’

Enough to be willing to buy snacks for your cute nephew and enter the house.

'Run Rewards,·····'

Of course, what was bigger than that was the new title and the consequent run compensation.

[Finpoint control]

- Title Description: The title is given to a person who knows how to hit the target's head with throwing magic.

- Title Reward: Intelligence and Mana +2

It was a sufficiently valuable effect for the Mana and Intelligent +2, wizard class.

No, it wasn't enough.

[Midas]

- Level : 3

- New Position: Word Lagon

- Vocational: Magistrate.

- Ability: Muscle strength (5+10)/physical strength (5+10)/intensity (11+12)/horsepower (7+12)

- Remaining stats: 4

Midas, who checked the stats of his intestines, could not believe the results.

'Is this for real?'

In fact, the stats themselves are similar to level 10 players without proper items.

The difference in degree in this section was enormous.

That was the power of the Rune, given as a title and reward.

'These title conditions, ······.''

No wonder Midas had enough in mind to sell this information as well.

Moreover, some of the information was more expensive than the tutorial master title.

Things that even top-level players will notice.

'For now, it's Kip.'

Of course, I didn't mean to sell it right away.

Selling information was not so easy, and Midas, who had lived in fierce competition, knew better than anyone that getting it in return for selling information was the growth of competitors.

At the same time, I was well aware that there was no need to sell it urgently.

'Unless some crazy guy suddenly releases this information for free, he can always get his money, but there's no reason to sell it at a bargain price.’

Unless it's an unusual situation, this information could serve as a currency that can be exchanged for money at any time.

You don't have to make a decision right now.

'This is the next problem.’

Rather, there was something else to worry about right now.

'We need a linked quest.’

Midas worked hard to collect as many as 30 pieces of goblins to get a hidden quest from Haydn.

There was nothing wrong with receiving.

'Without friction with the guild of explorers.’

The problem is that in the process, the explorer Guild manager, who stuck next to Haydn, should get over the situation well.

If we were suspected, we didn't know we'd be in trouble in the future.

'Well, it's not difficult.’

Of course, the answer to the question had already been arranged.

'Cause the customer's a king. Especially, the worst customers are the king.’

5.

The most important thing in the service industry is management.

No matter how good a business is, it's no use if it's not properly managed.

Explorer Guilds, that's why they put managers on each NPC.

"Good work."

That's why Midas greeted him first, not NPC Highden, but the manager next to him.

At such Midas greetings, said Yol, nodding lightly.

"Yes, are you here for the quest?"

"No, I'm here for the quest."

Along with the horse, Midas showed the identification of the explorer Guild, which he showed at the time of the quest.

Yol checked the confirmation and nodded.

"You've collected the ingredients pretty quickly.”

After checking the time written on the certificate, Yol threw a horse at the completion of the quest earlier than expected.

"You must be pretty good."

"No way."

In the meantime, a brief conversation naturally came and went.

"I thought I was going to kill a goblin."

"Really?"

In the brief conversation, Yol was able to draw a picture perfectly in his head.

'The firstborn.'

The player in front of you is a novice who has never played Godworth, and must have had a hard time hunting goblins.

And you would have realized in the process.

'You must have given up and bought the ingredients.’

Realizing that it's impossible to collect items on your own, you must have bought them at the auction house.

"At first, I wanted to enjoy the game and get used to it, so I tried to hunt goblin myself and collect ingredients, but I thought I'd get over it."

Midas gave Yol the same answer as he expected, as if he had read his mind.

Yol smiled lightly.

'As expected.'

a smile on the fact that one's expectations were correct

'You're gonna be a pushover soon.’

And it was a mockery of the fact that the person in front of him would be one of the countless numbers to give money to Godworth.

Usually it was.

'If you don't catch Goblin, you can't do anything by yourself.’

Players who bought really useless materials items at a high price because they couldn't catch Goblin while Yol was working as a manager for the explorer's guild, usually couldn't play the game on their own.

The subsequent results were usually obvious as well.

'In the end, we'll have to get help.

Players who can't play a part in the RPG and role-playing games didn't join the party, and even if they did, parties below the level of similar parties would not produce the right results.

Eventually, they pay a lot of money to buy a package of explorers' guilds or hire a helper from the explorer's guild to raise the level.

Such a class was the biggest driving force behind the explorer Guild's triumph.

'They're idiots.

Yol had no hesitation in calling them idiots who offered money to Godworth.

Naturally, Yol's face looking at Midas began to smell that he was inferior to him.

It was the look Midas had been waiting for.

"Then I'll get some reward for the quests.”

The moment Midas saw the look, he spoke to NPC Highden.

"The goblin leather you asked for. I've brought them all."

"Oh! Good work.”

A short conversation with NPC Highden came and went.

Yol only looked at the process without much change of expression.

I gave Haydn 30 goblins.]

Soon after the system alarm was heard, Midas shouted with great surprise at that moment.

"Oh? What is it?"

Yol tilted his head at the sudden uproar, and Midas said to him as if to listen.

"Why take all the goblin leather?"

NPC Highden moved first while Yole was solidified by something strange.

"You have great powers. So can you do me a favor?"

"Yes?"

"Bring me the rancor of Goblin, which only a few of Goblin have."

Midas answered the remark with a blank look on his face.

"Oh, yes."

[Haiden's request quest begins.]

The alarm was immediately heard, and Midas looked surprised and said to Yol.

"Oh? You have a quest?"

At that moment, Yol's expression hardened.

"Quest?"

The existence of a quest can be noticed only by talking with NPC.

That's why the explorers' guild managers were next to the NPC.

NPC was a prize for the explorer guild.

In other words, the NPC has given the product to customers who have not paid their way.

If this was intended, it was stolen from the explorer's point of view.

"No, I mean, I was going to buy goblin leather at the auction house, but I accidentally bought 30."

But what if it's unintentional?

Then the situation will inevitably become complicated.

"He's taking everything all of a sudden?”

So Midas was willing to play the fool.

GOTWORDS is an incompetent arcade that can't play a game at all without paying, and it's an unthinkable fool to plan to shake off a quest.

"Manager, you saw it yourself, didn't you? I didn't do anything. Damn it! Twenty goblins just flew away!"

At that moment Midas changed the mood.

"No, shouldn't you tell me this in advance? If you paid for the quest, you have to tell me! What are you going to do with my 20 goblin skins!"

Rather, he began to demand compensation.

Midas's words were not entirely without reason.

From his point of view, isn't he losing 20 Goblin leathers because the explorer Guild didn't properly explain the service?

Above all, he had paid for the service.

'The weakness of the guild is that it's weak to customers.’

That was the weakness of the explorer Guild.

They had no choice but to provide sufficient service in front of customers, more than just the underworld, to those who interfered with their business.

'The answer is obvious at this point.'

Of course, the explorer Guild has made his own manual to suit this situation.

"Sorry, the Explorer Guild doesn't know all the quests. What's more, it's a pity, but it's your mistake."

The problem is your responsibility, so take care of it yourself.

"It's clearly stated in the terms and conditions of the deal."

I've already made a way out.

"Is that the terms and conditions?"

"It is clearly written that you will be responsible for following the information we provide correctly, and if you do not, you will be responsible for it says.

the terms and conditions

Midas smiled inwardly at Yol's comment.

'Yes, I know.’

He knew very well that there were such terms and conditions.

"Damn it, so you're saying you can't compensate?”

"Yes."

"Then just take care of this quest?"

"Yes."

"It's my responsibility whether or not to break this quest, so don't ask the explorer's guild and do it yourself?"

"Yes."

Midas expressed his discontent with a very business look and an angry look at Yol's response in a tone, which made it seem like a dream to have a friendly conversation earlier.

Then he gave a long sigh.

"Whew, what's wrong with your day?"

Yol breathed a sigh of relief at the grumbling.

'I almost lost it.’

Yol figured out that thanks to his good handling, the situation was definitely over.

'I almost wrote the prologue for you.’

At the same time, he struck an invisible wall between Midas and himself.

I don't want to be associated with this troublesome guy anymore, I don't want to talk to him, so don't even talk to him, wall of that meaning.

Midas grumbled before him.

"Damn it, I'm breaking this quest somehow. 20 pieces of my precious goblin leather, ·······."

With the grunt Midas grasped the quest window.

[Haiden's request]

- Quest Rank: Rare

- Quest level: Less than 10 levels

- Quest content: Haydn asked you a special favor, considering your ability highly. Get two of Goblin's grudges.

- Quest reward: 30 gold, experience, favorability

!Goblin's 'Status of Haydn' event is generated when 7 of them are collected.

'Huh?

Midas, who confirmed the quest, soon spoke to Yol.

"I'm asking you again, but this quest doesn't matter if you break it or not, right?”

Yol just nodded, not answering, as if he no longer disliked even being woven into conversation with Midas.

Midas smiled at the sight.

'Then you have to break it.’

a very deep smile
