“Yes. In large scale battles where he commanded these different forces, for a Sculptor, Weed had absurdly high Leadership and Charisma, instantaneous judgement in a rapidly changing battle, and the eye for detail and concentration to not miss even a small portion throughout the battle.”
Director Kang thoroughly praised Weed. Since the Head Director was a fan, criticism of Weed was off-limits within the station!
“If players who only know how to fight had been presented the same situation, they would have likely fought while buried in the interracial Orcs and Dark Elves and would have been defeated. Even if their level was high, they wouldn’t have been able to stop the Immortal Legion. Weed’s strength shines in large-scale battles.”
“His ability to command is difficult to rival; it is Weed’s strong point.”
“Yes. It is exactly as you say. Weed has an immense strong point in quests that provide military support. Other A-rank difficulty quests have shown it as well. In the quest related to the honor of the Niflheim Empire’s Imperial Family, and the quest where the Bone Dragon emerged, how much did he suffer?”
The Head Director nodded since he understood what Director Kang was trying to say.
After all the troubles Weed faced while crossing the cold and desolate North, he rode a Wyvern and defeated the Bone Dragon at the end of a great struggle.
“So Director Kang thinks the likelihood of Weed failing this quest… will be very high.”
“Yes. Though they say there’s military support in his current quest as well, but I see it as being too much for him alone. If it was an A-rank difficulty quest, then he would have developed a resistance and the sculptures he made will have improved their skills on their own, so he would be able to complete it. However, I have judged the S-rank difficulty quest to be too much.”
The heft of an A-rank difficulty quest was still as great as ever.
Their competitors, CTS Media, had broadcasted an eradication of Giant Forest Golems and a related A-rank difficulty quest, and their viewer rating jumped to 7% in an instant. For game broadcasting ratings alone, it was over 60% of the share.
“Also… if we broadcast the quest this time, Weed’s identity might be revealed.”
“His identity?”
“It will be quite difficult to hide the fact that Wargod Weed and Sculptor Weed is in fact the same person.”
“Hmm, there was that problem as well.”
“Although we won’t be able to hide it forever while continuing the broadcasts, but if we ignore the risk and broadcast it, we will lose a great deal. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion it is still a little too early.”
The faces of the Head Director and the other directors turned serious. It was a quest overwhelming to manage even if Weed gave everything he had. He couldn’t hide the skills he possessed on top of that.
“Though it was a chance to broadcast an S-rank difficulty quest, it’s a pity.”
In conjunction with the Head Director’s words, the meeting was coming to the decision of forgoing the broadcast.
Ring!
Just then, the phone on Director Kang’s table rang.
After hesitating for a moment, Director Kang pushed the button on the phone.
“I’m in a meeting right now… what’s going on?”
He heard the staff secretary’s voice on the speakerphone.
— I’m sorry. There’s an important call for you, Director Kang.
“Who’s calling?”
— A person named Lee Hyun.
“Lee Hyun? If it’s Lee Hyun…”
Surprise swept over Director Kang’s face. Then he explained to the Head Director and other Directors.
“I’m certain Lee Hyun is the person with the character Weed.”
“Is that so? Then please speak with him.”
“I’ll accept it on speakerphone then.”
After a while, Lee Hyun’s call connected from the Secretary’s room to the meeting room.
— Hello Mr. Kang.
“Oh no, I’m sorry, I should have called first.”
— Not at all. More importantly, I received the money you deposited, thank you.
The salary from the Palrangka Battle had been deposited into his bank account. Since he was given incentives based on the ratings and even gained a profit each time the broadcast was downloaded, it was actually a considerable sum!
“Naturally, we have to pay you for your work.”
— Huhuhu.
Lee Hyun laughed in a very satisfied manner!
— Actually, I have a question to ask. I contacted you because of the broadcasting of the quest I’m currently doing. How is it?
“It’s…very difficult to decide.”
Director Kang explained step by step. Since it was an S-rank quest and was the focus of attention, as broadcasters, of course they wanted to broadcast it. While earnestly expressing his very anxious feelings, he conveyed the difficulty of the situation.
“Therefore, we are currently in a meeting about whether we should do the broadcast or not.”
Whether he understood Director Kang’s mournful feelings or not, Lee Hyun’s response was incomparably relaxed.
— You can broadcast if you want.
“What?”
— Don’t you need to broadcast to raise the ratings? The rating needs to rise to get commercials.
“That may be so, but the issues are…”
— If there’s a program you need, then all you need to do is broadcast it. If it’s for the station and the viewers, won’t your company’s public relations be able to do a lot of marketing?
Lee Hyun was explaining the necessity of the broadcast to Director K
