CH 675 (2/2)

Ayaka Akisada. She also participated in this blood pressure marathon jar competition.

'I mean, that person is also a bit of a geek.

I smiled and looked away.

Before long, another familiar face appears on the podium in front of the starting line.

Demgirl Hong Young-hwa, she seemed to be in charge of presenting and broadcasting today's game, holding a microphone and standing in front of the podium.

And next to him is another familiar face.

Marquis Scrooge. In the past, the best in the world that saved me from being tricked by Mamon.

The rejecting NPC was standing next to Hong Hwa-hwa and smiling kindly.

Hong Young-hwa said:

you]! Today I would like to introduce you to Marquis Scrooge, the biggest sponsor of the Blood Pressure Marathon!”

Then, thunderous applause erupted from everywhere.

Marquis Scrooge for the money he paid for this gigantic event

His wealth is still great.

I also applauded his talent.

Marquis Scrooge smiled warmly and spoke in front of a large number of participants.

[I could have hosted a contest that you would like. A contest that is moderately easy to overcome, moderately fulfilling, and moderately successful.]

But soon, Marquis Scrooge's eyes shone with determination.

[But I didn't do that.]

Thousands of people look up at Marquis Scrooge with tense faces.

Marquis Scrooge opened his mouth again.

[To be honest, this contest is not a good and fruitful contest.

All. Bitter, capricious, frustrating, merciless, cold and inhuman.]

Everyone shut their mouths and listen to Marquis Scrooge's speech.

But not many people know that his speeches are derived from the maxim of Bennett Foddy, who made the 'Jar Game' in the past.

Marquis Scrooge continued.

[This contest is held for very special people. It's you. This contest will give you trials and hurt, a feeling of betrayal, and regret and despair. Why did I plan this event?]

After a moment's pause, Marquis Scrooge glanced over the faces of the group.

And then he smiled.

[Getting Over It. Then you will know.]

People were a little surprised because he had a humorous expression and tone that was quite different from the character of Marquis Scrooge, who was usually known for being arrogant and overbearing.

Of course, I wasn't too surprised to know that Mamon had changed since he disappeared.

Overcome this, right?

I removed my gaze from Marquis Scrooge and turned my head slightly to look to the side.

Behind the starting line, inside the space where the temporary stage was installed, stood a huge cannon holding its snout toward the sky.

”Wow! Marquis Scrooge! What is this giant cannon? It's huge!”

[Heh heh heh, that's a cannonball. woo

A cannon built to commemorate the achievements of a winner when he emerges. We are planning a spectacular fireworks display that will remain in the memory of everyone for a lifetime. It's a game I learned from a young friend some time ago.]

It seems that Marquis Scrooge still remembers the fireworks I held in his mansion.

I must have been quite impressed with it at the time.

Hong Young-hwa is the huge size of a cannon

He looked up and opened his mouth.

”Wow, wow, seeing it up close is really great!”

[Heh heh heh, it's probably the biggest cannon in the world.]

”But if a cannon this big just made a mistake or something, it would be a big deal, wouldn't it? Do you have any size?”

[Oh, don't worry about that. This cannon is a special cannon, so it is large and strong.

You cannot put a single shell or the like. Only things like very fine powder can be loaded. Something like fireworks. It's good to say that he has little ability to kill.]

Hearing these words, Hong Hwa-gyeong taps the cannon's large gun barrel as if reassured.

Yeah! From now on, before the competition begins, I will briefly explain the course to all participants!”

Hong Hwa-hwa opened a screen window and displayed a hologram image for everyone to see.

Thousands of people gathered in the wasteland look at the hologram that Heunghwag shows.

The map of 'Blood Pressure Marathon of the Jar' began to be analyzed.

When Hong Hwa-hwa touches the halo, the lower part of the huge stone mountain is greatly enlarged.

A space filled with relatively gentle rock walls, dead trees, and stalactites sticking out.

”Now, the first part is the 'Tutorial section'! This is the section you see the most when you go up and down the rock wall.”

Hong Young-hwa quickly flipped the screen like a slide.

Then, a little higher than that

The liver is enlarged.

On the uphill road between the narrow and steep canyons, a narrow passage that cuts almost vertically, you can see lanterns burning eeriely here and there.

”Next up is the 'Devil's Chimney! You have to climb a narrow, vertically sloping place past the rock wall, but the road is narrow, so it will be difficult to maneuver with a hammer and a pot!'

Numerous participants who have heard Hong Hwa-hwa's words are already in a long line from here.

But the next course seemed even more difficult.

Fortresses and fortresses under construction, as well as buildings and houses under construction, form a long slide.

The vines and bushes that had grown thickly and withered away looked desolate.

”Then 'The Land of Furniture

(Furniture Land)'! It's a space full of discarded furniture! The narrow gap between them is really hard work, so it's nicknamed the devil's intestines, right?

Next was the section where the setting sun was dyed orange.

The church building towering over the granite cliffs looked magnificent.

In particular, the magnificence is further doubled by the bell tower that rises straight upwards.

The next section is called 'Anvil Jump'! A steep slope and almost blocked passageway! And even swarms of wild bats lurking all over the place! Absolutely ignored It's a neglected course. How many trials will I have to overcome to get to the top of the anvil at the far end?”

It's terrifying just looking at it here.

Some people are already packing

As far as turning back from the starting line.

However, Hong's explanation is not yet over.

”Next is the 'Bucket Jump' section! Do you see a bucket hanging at the exit of the section where a large snake lives? The distance between the obstacles is so great that I don't even know how to break through them. To run a distance that even a healthy body cannot run, confined in a jar, this

It's really hard!”

The next map revealed was a mountain range covered with snow and ice.

44 Yes! It's finally here! 'Ice Mountain (Ice Mountain), section! I don't know where to hang the hammer because of the snow and I can barely see! It's even cold there! If you accidentally slip on the ice, you'll be dropped right into the tutorial section! but worry

do not! Your jars are indestructible, so they will protect you from any fall damage!”

And soon the last, normal is seen.

”Now, finally! This is the 'Tower' section! If it's on top of the ice mountain and you've come all the way here, then, in reality, the worship service is over!

A tower towering over the top of an icy mountain through a raging blizzard.

Gradually zooming out, Hong Hwa-hwa's map introduction finally came to an end.

When the map description was over, there was a new commotion at the starting line.

”Ugh, that's crazy difficulty! If I had known it was such a difficult competition, I wouldn't have come out!”

”I have to give up right now. Then there will be no suffering.”

”Who would go crazy for a contest like this? It will probably be abolished from the next episode.”

Some immediately throw their hammers away and go back the way they came out of the jar.

However, surprisingly, a significant number of people were still burning their will to take on the challenge.

I was also one of them.

'It's hard to ignore this contest.'

It may not seem popular because of the extreme difficulty, but in fact, this competition will receive explosive love after the first round, and become a longevity event that will continue up to hundreds of times after that.

Even in the beginning, there were only 3 or 4 professional teams from the 1st to the 4th round, but after the 5th round, it exploded, giving rise to as many as 63 professional teams.

”The difficult and esoteric difficulty unique to this competition is enough to provoke the dead. Whoops...

I suddenly miss the seniors I used to hang out with before returning home.

The older brothers and sisters who took me on the bus while loving me like a child after 70,000 hours of game play.

'Where is everyone doing what?'

Later, after the contest, they

I thought it might be a good idea to look for it.

right then

then! game! Let's start yo oh oh oh!”

The cry of Hong Hwa-hwa, announcing the start of the race, resounded.

Worn-out Newbie
