Returner of the Colosseum

＜Episode 66. Playing Coach (1) ＞

└ The game is like a pine nut hahahaha (compliments)

└ Wow, the difficulty level was very high for the main event, but I beat this hahahaha

└ I really thought that the game maker was doing it on purpose to prevent Ren from being promoted when I first looked at the contents of the mission.

└ What is that skill? How many Tier 1 skills does he use in the lower leagues??

└N The one I wrote today was more than Tier 1. It seems like a platinum level, but I’m guessing that I got it when I was selected as the MVP of the star system competition.

└ㅋㅋ Welcome~ This is your first time in a higher league, right?

└To be honest, it’s hard to see only in the lower leagues, but in the upper leagues, that level is common.

└ㅇㅇ It’s not that the higher leagues are called the named graveyard for nothing. From the top leagues, talent alone is not enough hahahaha Looking at Ren, his basic stats seem to be low. That’s because you didn’t make an effort. The upper league is a stage where only those who have both talent and hard work can survive.

└ I agree with the comment above hahahaha These days it seems to be called a supernova. I’m looking forward to how much it will fall hahahahaha

Pak! Papabak!

The moment I returned to the farm, a loud sound hit my ears.

All the players on the team came out and set off firecrackers at me.

“Congratulations on your promotion to a higher league!”

“Finally, there is a top player on our team!”

“Congratulations, Ahn Woo-jin!”

Aserians and angels, four rooms, and even new players and users who came in behind them.

Everyone congratulated me with one heart and one mind.

Aserian came out as a representative and gave me a bouquet…

‘Ah, don’t do something like this.’

“You have suffered a lot. It was a mission that wasn’t easy to complete, but you ended it early! It was the absolute best!”

“thank you.”

“I thought a top league player would come out in nine months after the team was founded! With this, Team Fighting Spirit has been reborn as a mid-tier team. Oh, it’s not like this, let’s go in. I prepared a very grand party today!”

Guided by Aserian’s hand, he entered the restaurant and found an enormous amount of food prepared.

“It’s a festival for a week from today! Everyone eat and drink! Enjoy all night long!”

“Wowaaa!”

All the players cheered at Aserian’s roaring cry.

“…”

Does the alcohol go in the mouth or the nose?

Having spent a week not knowing if I was drinking in a dream or in reality, I sat in my office that Aserian prepared for me and checked the status window.

[Name: Ahn Woo-jin (Nickname: Ren)] [Affiliation: Team Fighting Spirit]

[League: Higher League]

top league.

With those words written clearly, I realized that I had risen to a higher league.

It was a place I had been to once, so I wasn’t very impressed or happy.

From noble mtl dot com

Just, a vague sense of anxiety and anticipation wrapped around me.

‘This time I can go up to a higher league.’

I opened the status window to check my current points.

In the promotion match, 360,000 points were accumulated as even Poble and Poble were selected.

With 107,100 points earned in Dawn of Blood and 168,000 points in the Promotions, that’s effectively 76% of the total points earned in the last two games.

‘Both matches hit the jackpot in the sub mission.’

I thought I would be able to collect roughly 150,000 points when I went up to the top league, but it was a performance that far exceeded my expectations.

The day to use the points was approaching, but it was fortunate.

The higher leagues were famous for having the worst balance.

or very strong

or very weak.

There were not many mid-level players.

‘That’s why I usually taste despair when I go to the top numbering match.’

Because I was like that in the 1st playthrough.

It felt like there was a wall that I could never get over no matter what.

But this time it will be different.

The fruit of perseverance that endured while rolling in the beginning and trembling with anxiety in every game until the black herb was sold.

[Remaining points: 361,000 P]

It will make it possible to jump over that wall at once.

‘I’ll make a splendid flight even in the higher leagues.’

The day to write points was slowly approaching.

At least two games ahead.

At most, I’ll hit all those points into my stats in three games.

Until then, I just need to do my best to raise my basic stats.

‘By the way, why did you suddenly give me a private office?’

I tilted my head as I looked around the empty office with only chairs and desks.

First of all, I spend most of my day in the gym and spa.

Other than that, I just eat at the restaurant or sleep at the inn.

Aserian knew very well that I was living a daily life like a cogwheel.

That’s why I couldn’t figure out why she gave me an office.

Was it just because of the courtesy of a higher league player?

‘Tsk. I can just use it when I need a space of my own sometimes.’

After thinking about how to use this office for a while, I got up to move to the gym.

It was then.

smart-

“Ahn Woo-jin. may I come in?”

Aserian’s voice came along with a knock.

“yes. Come in.”

At my answer, Aserian entered the office holding a small potted plant.

She put the potted plant down on one corner of my desk and sat down across from me.

“It is a gift. Do you like the office?”

“Yes, I like it. But why is the office all of a sudden…?”

At my question, Aserian smiled brightly.

This goddess always smiled first, so I couldn’t tell whether she was angry, happy, or depressed.

I couldn’t predict what words would follow behind that smile.

“well. uhhhhh Why did I give you an office?”

“…wasn’t it just given to you as a commemoration of your promotion to a higher league?”

“Ah, could I have given it to you for that reason? If it was a commemorative gift, I would have given you a nice item or skill book!”

At Aserian’s answer, I tilted my head.

what.

So you’re going to give me some clerical work?

‘Tsk.’

I felt cold.

Although I’ve helped a lot with the farm’s maintenance, I only did it because it helped me too.

But now?

All the buildings needed to raise stats are built, and the atmosphere of the team is very good.

In addition, now two trainer angels have entered the situation.

Now, there was nothing that would make me feel good about helping her.

‘I have nothing to gain from helping her.’

So it was time to cut it off and say that I couldn’t help.

“Do you know the playing coach?”

“…?”

“hehehe, I thought Ahn Woo-jin-nim knew everything, but I guess he doesn’t?”

Aserian covered his mouth and laughed.

A playing coach?

Is this a concept you’ve never heard of?

I tilted my head and asked Aserian.

“What is it?”

“Starting from the higher leagues, you can give players the power to manage the farm. Just like Trainer Angels.”

Like Trainer Angel.

Can you give me the authority to entrust management…?

“For example, um. Whether it’s random drawing, being able to check the stats of players belonging to a team, or being able to transfer or recruit to another team.”

“······If that’s the case, why don’t other teams use a playing coach?”

What the system allowed players to do was buy and sell items using gold and check posts posted on the community.

However, according to Aserian, it means that the player can do even what the angels are allowed to do.

There are so many things you can do.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a big help to go up to the Transcendence League.

“Well, there may be various reasons, but the biggest reason is that there is no merit.”

“No merit?”

“yes. In fact, if you need a coach, you don’t have to hire a player, you just need to bring in another angel.”

I nodded at Aserian’s explanation.

Well, even if I was the owner of the team, I wouldn’t have bothered to use the player.

If I understood it right, a playing coach meant playing the game and managing the farm at the same time.

It would be much better to hire an angel than leave it to a player who may die at any moment and who cannot fully focus on management.

by the way.

“When you bring up the playing coach, you must mean that you want to make an offer to me.”

“yes that’s right. I trust my younger siblings, but should I trust Ahn Woo-jin more than that? Peanut-L and Porodo-L will be in charge of managing it anyway, so An Woo-jin-nim can just fix something wrong in the middle or develop a better training method.”

In a word, it seemed like he was asking me to act as an advisor to Team Fighting Spirit.

“You said you were offering a coaching job, so there must be a salary, right?”

“Ah, of course. Salary is 3% of team fighting net profit points. Actually, I would like to give more, but unlike the angels, playing coaches can only sign up to 3% of the contract.”

what?

3 pro?

In an instant, I opened my eyes.

“・・・・・・Are you saying that it will be given as points, not gold?”

“yes. Originally, all angels receive points. In fact, gold is not particularly useful to gods and angels. Since the playing coach is the same base as the angel hiring system, they are paid as points.”

This must be unconditional.

There is only one way for players to earn points.

It was just playing the game.

‘Because players can’t trade points at all.’

If there was an expedient, it would be a way to give an easy sub mission like Ludiak did, but he couldn’t bet on a player on his own team.

In short, it meant that there was no way Aserian could give me points.

By the way, 3% of the net profit points Team Fight earns as a salary?

This was a contract that had to be concluded even if I were to be in charge of player training.

‘This is why the levels of players in the upper leagues were so extreme.’

There was a high possibility that other teams were also using the playing coach system without realizing it.

It was because there was no system like this to raise points to the representative player of one’s team and raise them to a higher league.

However, if this fact is known to players on the same team, they may become jealous, so it must be unknown.

“Playing coach, I really want to do it.”

“Good idea. The number of players is still small, and there is only one top league player, Ahn Woo-jin, so the salary will be much lower than Peanut El or Porodoel. Are you okay though?”

I nodded vigorously at Aserian’s question.

Team fighting spirit is less profitable?

Then I just need to increase it enormously.

Until now, even if the team grew, I didn’t pay much attention to it because there was no direct benefit to me.

‘I’ll make you earn so much that you’ll be surprised.’

“Then I know you accept it.”

As I nodded, Aserian opened his palm and held it out to me.

Hands like you would with a dog or cat! It looked stretched out.

‘I’m guessing he’s going to upload it?’

So I pretended to put one hand in Aserian’s palm too! I raised it.

Tring!

[The playing coach contract has arrived from Aserian, the owner of Team ‘Future’.]

[If you accept the playing coach, you can use systems that were previously unavailable.]

[Reward: 3% of team ‘fighting’ net profit points]

[Do you want to accept the playing coach?]

Then, a notification window pops up in front of you.

I clicked accept without hesitation.

[Yes (optional) / No]

[Became the playing coach of Team ‘Tooji’.]

[Playing coach rights allowed to player ‘Ren’ are ＜Recruit players＞ ＜Sell players＞ ＜Hire employees＞ ＜Check player stats＞ ＜Random drawing＞ ＜Use team-owned points＞ ＜Team-owned gold use＞.]

[＜Team Possessed Points＞ can only be used for ＜Random Drawing＞ and ＜Player Recruitment＞.]

[Team ‘Fighting’ points: 473,000 P]

[Team ‘Fighting’ Gold: 9,862,400 G]

Then, several tabs popped up in front of me, showing the permissions granted to me.

These were the things Aserian said.

“Thank you for being my playing coach. So, as Team 2G’s playing coach, what do you plan to do first?”

At Aserian’s question, I smiled lightly.

A situation where the points I receive depend on the net profit of Team Fighting Spirit.

Then there was only one thing to do first.

“We need to get new players.”

If there are professional training personnel called Peanut El and Porodoel, and a manual is established, it is better to raise as many players as possible.

So, I was thinking of growing the farm quickly with a random draw.

I’m sorry for Peanut El and Porodoel.

“A lot of that too.”

They will suffer quite a bit.
