Lee Hyun hesitated. It was embarrassing to reveal that his profession was a Sculptor!
Director Kang and the staff completely misunderstood his hesitation.
‘Oh, he must have a very good job!’
‘Yeah! It was because of his profession that he was able to complete the quest!’
‘An Adventurer, maybe? The quest does require the innate ability of an Adventurer.’
Lee Hyun hesitated at that moment before speaking.
“I’m a sculptor.”
“What?”
“My profession is Moonlight Sculptor.”
"......"
The planning room went silent.
A Sculptor!
It was an Artist profession that everyone had forgotten ever existed, that completed the quest? Project Director Kang could barely hold his laughter.
“Cool. It is great to hear that you are a Sculptor. Recently, Production and Art professions are becoming more popular in Royal Road.”
“I’ll have to agree. The profession of a Sculptor seems really fancy.”
While the others were either embarrassed or ashamed. They didn’t think that a Sculptor could accomplish such feat.
Various growth progress.
Many Artisan professions, such as a Sculptor, have low combative skills; therefore need to join hunting parties and survival techniques. If directly involved with the battle, those with higher stat held the advantage. With a high Endurance stat, it allows them to fight for a long time and not get tired.
As something popped in his head, Director Kang said.
“Oh! Come to think of it, a while back, a Sculptor shamelessly exploited the labor of players in Rosenheim Kingdom. Building a pyramid and savagely ate grass porridge.”
“That really happened? The world is an odd place.”
Lee Hyun blurted out in surprised.
“Yes, thanks to that, there was quite a rise in viewership. So how long have you been playing Royal Road?”
“For a little over a year”
"......"
This time the silence lasted a little longer.
Royal Road has been released for 2 and half years. Most accomplished players began playing during the beginning stages.
‘1 year, in a short period of time, he had grown enough to complete the prestigious A rank quest?’
‘How did he do to be able to gain over 300 levels in a year?’
Director Kang and the Planning Department staff’s opinion of Lee Hyun was depreciating.
‘Great, a total charlatan is just what we need.’
‘A guy with severe pretentions.’
‘Maybe it’s because of his young age.’
In a case where one plays for 18 to 20 hours a day, can lead to a misunderstanding.
Lee Hyun’s level growth was not an easy thing to accomplish. Though it might take some time, the best way to level up is to increase their abilities.
Only someone with great patience can attempt to be a Sculptor and get to an adequate level. Spent a month sewing, a month of smithing, and three months fishing. Alternating with the ability to endure boredom!
Sometimes hunted monsters without breaks. Created sculptures in between break times. It was almost impossible to endure hard labor and succeed.
After asking a few more trivial questions, Director Kang got down to business.
“Actually Lee Hyun, the reason why we asked you to come down to the broadcasting station is to have you sign a contract with us.”
“Contract?”
“Yes, a short-term broadcasting contract.”
“Broadcasting contract. Specifically, what is its content?”
“It was you who joined forces with the Orcs and battled against the Undead Legion, right?”
Lee Hyun nodded in agreement.
“I figured as much.”
From time to time, there are people who came in contact with broadcasting stations. They would be questioned about their levels and professions, and it is always certain they would not hide it.
Director Kang showed great delight.
“I saw the video that was posted in the Hall of Fame. Your quest is enough to make lots of players fascinated. Do you think that our broadcasting station could broadcast your quest? Truth be told, our generic earnings and profits are all based on the ratings and viewership of our programs. When Lee Hyun’s quest is shown during one of the broadcasts, the viewership will increase.”
“And in case the ratings are low?”
