Anyone could feel that the indication of some kind of change was ripening.
Director Kang raised his receiver. It was so that he could report to the Director-in-Chief, but the phone connected and the Director-in-Chief spoke first.
— Director Kang? I’m looking at that video too. “Is that so, Director-in-Chief.”
— It’s really amazing. Indeed… he’s Weed. I envy his reliable image. Is it because he’s young? There’s something special about him.
“Yes. I think so as well.”
Director Kang spoke while bowing as he held the phone.
“Yes yes, we will do that. Yes, of course. We will do as you say, Director-in-chief.”
Ka-chak!
Director Kang put down the receiver and blew out a long sigh. “Pheew.”
Tension was always high for a salary-man. But he then he vigorously rose up from his chair.
“Bring Supervisor Yoon from the Programming Department.” “Yes, Director.”
At Director Kang’s words, the station staff members focused their attention on him for a while. Then, Supervisor Yoon, who’d been in the adjacent office, opened the door and came in.
“Director Kang, what’s going on?”
“Cancel all the regular programs from this moment onwards!”
“What? Then there would be massive grievances from the viewers.” “What program is broadcasting right now?”
“Tree and Monsters. It’s a broadcast that introduces the peaceful monsters of the Versailles Continent and is popular among women and children.”
“The average ratings?” “It’s 3.3%.”
The popularity of Royal Road was growing to no end. As viewers who had never looked at game broadcasts before were drawn in, the general ratings had also risen considerably.
A rating of 3.3% was not bad for KMC Media.
“Stop it! I received full authority from the Director-in-Chief. An official document will arrive electronically in the Programming Department soon as well!” Director Kang urgently explained.
His sense of duty to cancel all the broadcasts before the quest’s end!
Considering the monsters Lee Hyun had summoned, it was the jackpot. It secured the audience rating for sure.
The fight against the Embinyu Church would be interesting after all.
If the result was leaked after the battle finished, the excitement would be spoiled.
Even if the station completely maintained their security, with a quest of this size, you may never know what might happen.
Since it would impact the Versailles Continent based on the result, you could guess the quest’s conclusion from the words of the residents, or a change in the situation.
From the station’s viewpoint, it was a chance laid out with a feast— side dishes, richly roasted meat, and even the delicacy of soy sauce crab legs. A situation where you could starve to death while agonizing on what to eat! Though the meal was laid out, the dishes clamoring to be eaten would be your ruin.
Before such a disaster occurred, there was an order from the Director-in-Chief to immediately cancel all broadcasts.
“Production Supervisor Shin! Where is the starting point of Weed’s linked quest?” “It was the confrontation with Death Hand in the Dwarven Kingdom Kuruso.”
“Broadcast that quest quickly. For the editing, just hide the truth that it’s the God of War Weed… but can we hide it?”
“It will be possible until the battle starts for real. It could be difficult depending on how the battle goes.”
“Broadcast anyway. Hand over the footage to Programming now, start broadcasting as soon as it’s ready.”
