The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 150

"What the hell..."

Sung JiHan, who rarely swore in his daily life,

couldn't help but curse when he saw the message of defeat in the game.

That's how frustrated he was.

He broke through the enemy's defenses in just 15 minutes, so why was his base already destroyed?

"Ah, Sung JiHan...!"

"Shh...sounds like a bread being sliced. It's about to come out!"

The commentators appropriately toned down Sung JiHan's profanity,

but the public was already ablaze with comments.

"Wow, this game is so frustrating lol"

"He only said one curse word, it's forgivable lol what an angel"

"Sung JiHan was the only one worth watching when it came to breaking through the enemy's defenses...the rest was just getting beaten up one-sidedly, sigh"

"What's the national team doing? Seriously, just hold on, why is it so difficult?"

The 5th and final match against China.

They thought they might be able to defeat the 2nd-ranked China...

"No matter how much he carries the team, it can't be like this lol"

"Now I understand why the Sword King went to Japan lol"

"If I were Sung JiHan, I would have already immigrated to the US~^^7"

"I bet he'll contact Gates as soon as he comes out as the center today"

After the 5 matches ended,

the MVP of this game came to mind.

"The MVP of the 5 matches is...Jegal Heon."

"The MVP of the 1st and 4th matches is Sung JiHan, and the MVP of the 2nd and 5th matches is Jegal Heon."

In the 3rd match on the Train map, the MVP went to the Chinese support player, Ju Ryeong Ryeong, so Sung JiHan and Jegal Heon ended up with the same number of MVP awards in today's game.

"So, who will be the 'Player of the Day'?"

"Usually, the Player of the Day comes from the winning team..."

"I'm slightly looking forward to it. Sung JiHan's performance today was amazing!"

However, contrary to the expectations of the Korean commentators,

the Player of the Day was Jegal Heon, the MVP of the winning team.

"Ah...it's so disappointing. Sung JiHan single-handedly led the team today."

"It seems that Jegal Heon's final victory for the team was a big plus."

"He did great in the 5 matches. Jegal Heon, the Chinese Archmage. He's truly a formidable player!"

Sung JiHan, who returned to the Korean Battle.net Center in the in-game chat, went to the strategy analysis room and watched the replay of the 5th match.

"Ah, Jegal Heon! He's drawing the same symbol again!"

"To draw the same symbol three times in a row...does that make sense statistically?"

"I calculated it, and the probability of getting the same symbol three times in a row is less than 0.2%!"

Jegal Heon drew the symbol of fire, 리, three times in a row.

As soon as the game started, he threw meteors and successfully stacked the symbol of fire every 7 minutes, unleashing a total of three burning meteors.

Each time, the Korean base was destroyed.

"Ah. The warriors of South Korea sacrifice themselves to stop the meteors..."

"They're all dying! We can't stop it! We're just being overwhelmed!"

The Korean national team was constantly bombarded by meteor strikes from long range and eventually met their demise.

If Jegal Heon hadn't drawn the symbol three times in a row, they might have been able to withstand a few more meteor strikes.

But against a grand mage who stacked the symbol of fire, defying the odds of 0.2%, they had no chance.

"I have no way out. I'm sorry. JiHan..."

Director No Youngjoon apologized to Sung JiHan, who was watching the replay with a stiff face.

"I thought I could last for 20 minutes, just like you said. I didn't expect it to end with three meteors."

"Who could have predicted pulling three Rees?"

That guy, really.

During the Space League, he always drew blanks, but during the national team game, he was soaring.

Sung JiHan looked at Jegal Heon, who was selected as today's player.

"If only we had a player like him, we would have won."

Even though he tried his best alone.

As a single player, he couldn't completely turn the game around until the 5th round.

Indeed, to raise Korea's Battle.net ranking, they needed a player to support him.

"Should I wait for SeA to grow?"

Considering the power Jin Yuhwa showed in the previous life, with her latent talent, Yoon SeA could have grown into a strong player.

And with the new evolution class called Void Archer this time, there is something to look forward to.

"Anyway, it will be difficult to enter the Champions League this season."

The second half of 2020 season.

Since the Korean national team has been losing since the season opened, even if they continue to win from the next game, it would be difficult to enter the top 2 of the league that gives qualification for the Champions League.

If they had won today's game, they could have considered the possibilities, but since they lost to China today, all possibilities for this season disappeared.

At that moment.

"Sung JiHan player."

Hayanju, the leader of the Archer team, approached with a stern face.

"Today... I'm really sorry. You led the game all the way here alone."

"There's nothing we can do. The Archer team doesn't match well with the Phoenix."

"No matter how well the Phoenix blocks the arrows, there's no excuse for not getting kills like this. Just the other day, Joo Ryungryung wasn't this strong... I keenly felt my own shortcomings."

Juryeongryeong, who has SSS-grade gift, 'Summoning the Phoenix'.

Until recently, she was undervalued because her Phoenix control skills were lacking and couldn't live up to the SSS-grade value.

But the Phoenix control she showed today was very timely, blocking most of Hayanju's snipes.

"Well, speaking of that... Is there a spot in the Reserve Guild?"

"Yes. Since all the Chinese players are leaving this time, there are spots available."

"By any chance... Can I join? I want to grow more."

Is it because of the great powerlessness he felt in this game?

Hayanju, who is the highest level among Korean players, showed a strong determination to grow.

"Even Hayanju is like this... "

Sung JiHan looked around for a moment.

There were hardly any players left in the power analysis room of the Battle.net Center.

"Do they not even plan to review and analyze today's game?"

And among the remaining 10 or so players, there were no Warrior players who belonged to the lowest rank.

"The least capable ones aren't even making an effort... I should only support players who have the intention to do so."

Should I push this game that might work?

Sung JiHan decided to push Hayanju, who has the intention to grow, rather than raising the unmotivated Warrior team.

"I understand. I'll leave one spot open. I'll let the Guild Master know."

"Yes. I also contacted the LK Guild. I'll pay the rental fee there."

As Sung JiHan and Hayanju were having a conversation like that.

Some of the players who were in the power analysis room approached hesitantly.

"Um, Sung JiHan player... Can I also join the guild, by any chance?"

The players were motivated by today's loss.

If there was anything positive about today's loss, it was them.

"Yes, it's possible."

Sung JiHan smiled slightly as he saw the determination in their eyes.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was not so bright despite China's victory.

"Yilong, how did you get penetrated so quickly by Baekpal Nahhan?"

Jegal Heon, who was selected as today's player, glared at Yilong with cold eyes.

If he hadn't drawn three consecutive RIsks, the outcome of the five games might have been different.

"...Ugh, that bastard is a monster."

Yilong, sitting in a chair, trembled as he bowed his head.

The red brainwave that pierced his chest.

He, who was invincible within Baekpal Nahhan, was completely neutralized by Sung JiHan's attack.

There was no numerical value of pain, but the eerie sensation when he was pierced still lingered in his body.

"How should we face the next game? I, I have no confidence. That bastard will become more than a Sword King..."

Seeing Yilong lamenting in despair, Jegal Heon clenched his teeth.

Shinseung Yilong.

Ranked 2nd in the world, he was lacking as the leader of China's warriors.

"Wang Lin needs to grow quickly."

Wang Lin, who possessed the SSS-grade gift, Heavenly Demon's Body.

He had to grow quickly and replace Yilong's position.

"I should ask to put Wang Lin back in the standby guild at least."

Jegal Heon, who had considerable influence in the People's Council, a guild directly affiliated with the Chinese government, thought so.

He also knew that the People's Council had withdrawn the players to find out Sung JiHan's martial arts, but...

"If I offer more money, it should be enough. If I offer double or triple, he will give up his share and betray us, right?"

He optimistically thought that with money, rejoining would be more than possible.

Meanwhile, at the Gates Building in the United States.

"C...bal? What does that mean?"

"You can think of it as 'What the fuck.'"

"I didn't expect to hear such words."

Robert Gates watched the game from start to finish with a Korean interpreter.

Although the language in the in-game world was unified in English and translated, there were cases where stories and some player banter were in the native language, so he had prepared an interpreter in advance.

"Sung JiHan... He's really a crazy player. In the All-Class, a gold player with that much power. I should have recruited him last time."

If I had known, I would have offered him a team with a 1 trillion won proposal.

Robert Gates regretted that he had only offered 300 billion won before.

At that moment, the door opened and his secretary came in.

"Sophia is leaving for Korea again."

"Why?"

"It seems like there's a rumor about Sung JiHan's love affair. She said she's going to see it since the national team game is over..."

"Hmm."

Robert frowned.

At first, he thought Sophia was just a fan who liked exceptional warriors...

"It seems like she's more serious than I thought."

He was starting to worry that she might even establish roots in the standby guild if she made a mistake.

In order to prevent such incidents, Sung JiHan had to be brought to the United States.

"Seeing the level of the Korean national team today, he might have changed his mind."

The Korean national team, who only targeted Sung JiHan.

No matter how skilled a player is, they cannot reach the position of a champion without the support of the team.

Sung JiHan will have a lot to think about after today's game.

Robert Gates decided to invest in that player once again.

"Provide a private plane for Sophia. And when you meet Sung JiHan, tell him this story."

"What story are you talking about?"

"If he naturalizes in the United States and joins American First... I will give him the position of Guild Master."

"G-Guild Master?"

"Yes. I will also transfer at least 10% of the guild's shares to him."

"...10%, you say?"

"Yes."

American First, the world's top guild.

The shares of this guild had astronomical value.

And they were giving away 10% to just one player?

Was Sung JiHan really worth that much?

"10% for the Guild Master... Can I really convey that message?"

The secretary asked again just to be sure.

Robert Gates nodded as if it was obvious.

"This is still cheap compared to the value of the player."

He couldn't make the same mistake as last time.

Robert made a full bet at this point where Korea had lost in order to bring Sung JiHan to the United States.

* * *

Inside the limousine returning from the BattleNet Center to Sword Palace.

Yoon Se-ah, who stayed at the BattleNet Center with Sung JiHan this time as well, checked her phone and smiled.

"Uncle. Sophia is coming in two days."

"...Why?"

"After the dating rumors broke out, she wanted to come right away. I told her to come after the national team game. She contacted me right after it ended."

"Doesn't she have anything else to do?"

"You are her number one priority, Uncle. That's what Sophia said."

As she chatted with Sophia, Yoon Se-ah's eyes widened.

"Wow, Uncle... But Robert offered you the position of American First Guild Master?"

"The AF Guild Master? Isn't the current world ranking first doing that?"

"That's what I'm saying! So I thought I made a mistake and wrote Vice Guild Master, but it's really Guild Master! And on top of that..."

Seeing Yoon Se-ah getting excited, Sung JiHan put his finger to his lips.

A gesture to be quiet.

Sung JiHan then glanced towards the front of the limousine, and Yoon Se-ah quickly closed her mouth.

"Let's talk about it at home."

"Yeah, sorry. I got too excited."

"No, it's okay."

The driver was affiliated with the BattleNet Association, so he had to consider that the conversation here would also reach the association.

Especially, this kind of offer from the United States was a direct report.

"Hmm. I might be able to take advantage of this situation."

Since it had already come to this, Sung JiHan decided to strategize in his favor.
