Aahh.”
“How could this happen….”
The staff of KMC Media were devastated.
The last stage of the quest had failed and only genocide awaited Weed’s sculptures of life.
Tears of sorrow and sadness can be seen among the staff. Even Director Kang had a bitter expression.
“Weed’s undefeatable streak has come to an end.”
Even if it was Weed, the quest was still unsuccessful. Moreover, the difficulty of the quest was very high so no one could really blame him for the failure.
Being able to lead the undead in a fight against Kubichya and treacherously using the corpses of the Fire Giants as his powder kegs. The way he challenged the army of Chaos Warriors was truly remarkable.
“Phew, I feel so empty though.”
Director Kang was still idly watching the video feed.
Kubichya, having accumulated large amount of damage, fell to one knee and was resting, with Chaos Warriors gathered around him forming a heavily guarded wall.
The Inferno Knights still had sufficient numbers to resist the Chaos Warriors, though the Fire Giants were now weakened; but all in all, the situation of the war had changed little.
When Weed had joined the battle it was truly a breathtaking moment. As they continued to watch, more Chaos Warriors died in battle but many more would spring up and join the confusion later. As the Inferno Knights and Fire Giants continued to hold their ground, a lot of Chaos Warriors by then had gotten exhausted from the battle; some of which had even started to rest. This observation wasn’t that surprising; due to the game’s nature, such a situation was quite possible to happen.
“So this is how it comes to an end.”
Due to the dramatic moments, not only Director Kang but also the rest of the Operations Teams were all glued to the screen. In order to get everyone back to their senses, Director Kang clapped his hands.
“Wake up everybody. We still ought to finish our work. The quest has failed, we will have to put out this caption and choose an appropriate bgm. Programming Department, how is our viewer ratings at the moment?”
“Yes, please wait for a moment.”
The staff of the Programming Department looked at their monitors and surveyed the results.
“Right now, among the 17 game broadcasting companies we have 92.5% of the market share. Even with our program competing with news channels over the airwaves we still got 8.9% of the ratings.”
Home shopping, comedy, drama, these are what currently being aired on the tv channels but the ratings still reached 8.9%.
If you count only the ones doing game broadcasts then the ratings has reached a whopping 92.5%.
No other stations had ever recorded such high audience ratings, except for KMC Media that is.
Among a hundred people only 7-8 people were not watching the Royal Road broadcast of KMC Media.
“These ratings are absurd….”
Some KMC Media staff immediately checked whether there was some mechanical failure in their machines while the rest were already in an uproar.
A flood of calls was coming from advertising sales representatives of different companies, and even the International Division was having a field day due to the calls of broadcasters from other countries.

Users were now running out of control and were flooding every message boards.

- Watching on the internet is not recommended. There are too many people trying to gain access making the video unable to buffer.

CTS Media and other broadcasting stations were very jealous of KMC Media.
Short intermittent rises in ratings may be dismissible but once a big issue is created, the increased number of viewers is secured. KMC Media even added effects in their program garnering an even more increase in viewership. Especially now that Royal Road was gaining more popularity to the public.
Initially, due to the high price of the capsules, people were reluctant in buying them despite the popularity and benefits of virtual reality. But right now, even if you have an expensive car and a good house to live in, it was still much better to have it, with the widespread recognition in Royal Road.
Families hunting together with their young children are now already a common sight in Royal Road. Royal Road had definitely brought great change, not only in Korea but all over the world.
With the increasing broadcasts of the game to the public, its influence in the media grew as well.
And on this day, Weed and KMC Media would be especially remembered.
Others stations were having increased difficulty trying to reverse their drop in ratings. This included CTS Media, Jachang and a certain number of other stations that were greatly affected. It’s because they chose to air the live broadcast of the expedition instead. At first, they held the interest of lots of viewers and had plenty to advertise. But as soon as Weed’s adventure was aired on television, the audience immediately abandoned them and flocked to KMC Media’s channel.
- Weed’s adventure is finally here.
- Time to go to KMC Media. Goodbye.
- Me too. Keukeukeu.
Viewers never missed any information, that was because the Internet was only filled with stories about Las Phalanx.
Everyone had payed close attention to the long awaited program of Weed’s adventure.
