[Guild Opened]

Sung JiHan's channel, which has reached 650,000 subscribers.

As soon as the broadcast started, viewers flocked in.

- First place!!!!

- Is this Sung JiHan's announcement of a transfer that neither the Daehan Ilbo nor the association guys apologized for?

- Didn't you read the title? It's a guild opening broadcast.

- Wow, even though they called for a contract fee of 300 billion, they're still not going?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- If I were them, I would have already gone to the United States.

The viewers were relieved that Sung JiHan chose to stay in Korea and open a guild, despite the tempting financial offer, but...

- They could have opened the guild in the United States, too.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- It turns out the broadcast location is New York~

- What if it was Tokyo?

- Just imagining it is terrifying.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Perhaps it was because Robert Gates and Takeba sent sponsorship messages offering to help with the guild opening, but they couldn't hide their anxiety.

But that chat was short-lived.

"Hello, viewers."

Suddenly, a woman dressed in a neat suit appeared, and the chat exploded as if to say, "Where was the anxiety and worry?"

At first glance, she had a stunning appearance.

- ㅗㅜㅑ...

- She's beautiful!!!!!! I'm dying!!!!!

- Is she a celebrity? Who is she?

- Did I accidentally enter a female cam room?

- I actually like it.

"I am the guild master of the DaeGi Guild, Iha Yeon. Sung JiHan personally appointed me."

- Guild master? Appointed by Sung JiHan?

- She's so beautiful...

- I envy Sung JiHanㅠㅠㅠ

- I feel like I've heard the name Iha Yeon somewhere before.

- I think she was the goddess deputy manager of the Iseong Guild. I saw her on a special broadcast about the Iseong Guild a long time ago.

- Ah, I rememberㅋㅋㅋㅋ I even saved a screenshot.

The Iseong Guild, one of the top 10 guilds in Korea.

Last year, when the official channel of the Iseong Guild uploaded a video announcing the recruitment direction for this year, it caused a huge sensation.

It was because Iha Yeon, who briefly showed her face in the broadcast, looked so pretty.

- How did this happen?

- Could it be her lover?

In response to people's questions, Iha Yeon smiled and clapped her hands.

"No, not a lover~ The owner recognized my abilities and appointed me."

- What abilities?

- If you were a deputy manager before, aren't you a player?

- It seems like they chose based on appearance.

It was a persistent question.

There were also several rude reactions, but in a way, it was a natural question.

Because Iha Yeon becoming the guild master was so sudden to the public.

"If I explain the concept of our guild, it will prove my abilities."

- Concept?

- A guild is just a guild, does it have a concept?

* * *

-Troll specialized guild, MaGiRanㅋㅋ

In response to the viewers' curiosity, Yi Ha-yeon immediately displayed the screen.

[Waiting Guild's Buff List]

-Receives growth rate increase effect. Growth rate increases by 220 percent.

-Experience gain increases by 30 percent.

What appeared on the screen was a capture of the guild buffs applied in the Waiting Guild.

"This is a guild buff received by a player who joined our guild yesterday."

-...220 percent?

-And it says 30 percent for experience gain?!?!?

-What is this? Does this make sense?

-They must have used cheats!!!!

Growth rate of 220 percent and experience buff of 30 percent.

The overwhelming buffs that couldn't be seen in the existing guilds caused the viewers to be in an uproar.

Especially the people in the BattleNet industry were completely confused.

"Did you use guild points for the growth rate increase? But how did you achieve such numbers?"

-Experience increase of 30 percent... There's no such condition, right?

-The experience buff purchased with GP has a maximum of 10 percent...

Although they had some level of analysis, no one knew how those numbers were achieved.

"You're curious about the identity of these buffs, right? Although it's a company secret and I can't reveal everything, my abilities are also included here."

After suppressing the doubts about her own abilities, Yi Ha-yeon introduced the guild.

"Our Waiting Guild is a nurturing guild that only accepts a total of 10 members. As guild members, first we have our owner, Sung JiHan, and..."

She then introduced each guild member one by one.

Sung JiHan and Yoon Se-ah were introduced first.

Next, Diego Masid and Im Ga-young appeared.

"And that's it. Our Waiting Guild is currently composed of 5 members."

-What? It ends with 5 members?

-The guild master doesn't seem like a player. So, there's 1 silver and 3 bronze players, right?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-No one would have watched if it was another guild introducing these players. There are already 60,000 viewersㅋㅋㅋ

-The ripple effect is amazingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Sung JiHan, who became the world's most promising rookie, attracted a lot of viewers because of his broadcast, otherwise, they wouldn't have even watched a guild introduction video with only 10 members.

But perhaps it was because of the shocking buffs revealed by Yi Ha-yeon.

People started to take an interest in the Waiting Guild itself.

-But the concept is really unique.

-The buffs don't make sense, though?

-Even if the growth rate is useless, with 220 percent... you can gain a few more stats, right?

-Yeah, even if you naturally gain 5 more levels, it's amazing. It's what you get at level 5.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋBut is that easy?

-ㅇㅇEven if you train, it's so difficult to increase stats.

While the viewers were debating about the growth rate, another question arose about the Waiting Guild.

-But why is Im Ga-young there? Wasn't she the top promising player in the Seong Guild?

-That's right?

Im Ga-young, who possesses an S-class gift and is considered the most promising player in the Seong Guild.

Why is she randomly in the Waiting Guild?

Yi Ha-yeon, who was looking at the chat while watching the monitor next to the camera, answered as if she had been waiting for that question.

"Im Ga-young is a player temporarily borrowed from the Seong Guild for training purposes."

-Training? Borrowed???

-So, a growth-oriented guild?

-Ah... I think I know something!!!

"Yes, that's correct. Our guild focuses on nurturing the best players."

Soon, Yi Ha-yeon even revealed the guild point investment status.

[Guild Member Expansion (1/10) - LV.1]

[Stat Increase (All Stats +1) - LV.1]

[Growth Rate Increase (+110%) - LV.11]

"We don't accept just anyone into our guild. Our goal is to create a guild that lives up to its name by only accepting the most promising players."

-But if the stat increase is only level 1, then there won't be any growth, right?

-Haha, that's right. You have to win first before you can do anything.

"Of course, we are aware that the stat increase effect only applies from Silver league onwards. However, considering the nature of our guild that I mentioned earlier, what do you think?"

"We aim to nurture the best promising players who can contribute their fair share in the Silver league and even reach Gold. That's the kind of guild we are."

Stat increase option.

This was an item that is invested in along with guild member expansion.

Although it doesn't apply to Bronze.

It is highly efficient with a 50% increase in all stats from Silver and 100% increase from Gold onwards.

However, the waiting guild did not invest in this at all and put all their points into growth rate increase.

"And once their training is complete, we will send them back to their original guilds. Helping the growth of the best players through buffs. That is our purpose."

Yi Ha-yeon reached out her hand confidently towards the screen that unfolded.

Then, the stat points of the three members introduced as waiting guild members, Diego Masid, Im Ga-yeong, and Yoon Se-ah, were clearly revealed.

"For one month, we will observe the changes in our guild members' stats. Please understand that the owner doesn't have over a million subscribers, so it couldn't be made public~!"

-Make it public! Make it public!

-I want to see Sung JiHan's stat windowㅜㅜ

-Ji-han... I lost 500 million because of you... Please... make it public...

"Sigh... I also lost a lot of money... It's not just you who lost."

-Haha, even the guild master invested in Barun.

-Because it was a good investment (nod)

-Well, who knew a Korean would become the number one in the US bar?

-That's why people need to be strong enough.

-I've been with Sung JiHan since the promotion match!!!

As the chat flooded with betting-related discussions, Yi Ha-yeon redirected the topic within a reasonable limit.

"Alright. Let's stop talking about the money we lost... Please look forward to one month later. Until then, please observe the results of our guild members' stat increases."

And with additional explanations, the guild's PR came to an end.

This news became a big topic of conversation.

* * *

-So, Sung JiHan is in Korea for now?

└ Yes, but we don't know how long. Since the guild was created without government support, they can go to another country anytime.

└ What is the guild manager doing without issuing an apology statement?

└ According to a friend who works at the management office, they made their subordinates apologize and got completely ignored, haha.

└ Haha, they still haven't figured out the situation.

-I subscribed to the guild channel because of Ha-yeon noona. Please broadcast frequently...

└ You too? Haha.

└ Are you ignoring Yoon Se-ah and Im Ga-yeong?

└ Why are there only women in the guild?

└ Are you ignoring Masid now?

In the community, there were mixed reactions of relief upon confirming that Sung JiHan had not left Korea yet.

The focus was solely on Guild Master Yi Ha-yeon's beauty.

Due to the overwhelming attention on the incredible stat buffs of the Daegi Guild, the discussion about Sung JiHan and Lee HaYeon was pushed back in the topic rankings.

However, it was different from the general public.

Industry insiders in the BattleNet industry paid great attention to those numbers.

"Oh, Owner!"

Not long after the broadcast ended.

Lee HaYeon approached Sung JiHan with a surprised expression on her face.

"I received a message through the guild's official channel. American First wants to know the secret to increasing growth rate! The Chinese People's Congress also made inquiries!"

"Oh, even China?"

"Yes. American First is willing to pay 1 billion GP."

1 billion GP is equivalent to 100 billion Korean won.

Seeing that they were willing to pay such a large sum, it seemed that Robert Gates made the proposal.

"Even if they say it's the secret to increasing growth rate..."

It was a simple secret that ended with having the supporting gift 'Cultivation' as the guild master.

Anyway, there would be a way to find out later.

It was tempting to receive 100 billion and sell it right away, but...

"They might try to take Lee HaYeon out of another guild."

Even if it was just American First, it was a situation where they would pay 100 billion just to know the method.

If Lee HaYeon's secret was revealed in such a situation, it was unknown how much they would offer her.

Moreover, they couldn't take her away right now because of her growth.

"Even if they make a good offer, we still can't disclose the method."

"That... That's right. This is practically the identity of our Daegi Guild!"

Not knowing that her cultivation gift did all the work, Lee HaYeon admired Sung JiHan's words.

Even though they received a deal of 100 billion damage, they refused it in one stroke.

Sung JiHan could see how much expectation and ambition he had for the Daegi Guild.

"Then we will reject all their proposals."

"Yes. Please."

With that, Lee HaYeon left her seat.

After their conversation ended, Diego Masid approached Sung JiHan.

"Owner, this Daegi Guild is amazing. I feel like I should pay to join."

"No need to pay. I'll pay your salary on time as promised, so don't worry."

"To receive such buffs and still get a salary..."

Masid scratched his cheek at those words.

"I feel useless. But it's not the time to be proud... I'll gratefully accept it."

"What are you saying? You're already a big help."

Sung JiHan remembered the system message that appeared a while ago.

[Recruited a guild member with an SSS-grade gift.]

[Guild achievement, 'Collecting Stars (1)' cleared.]

[Obtained 10,000 achievement points as a reward.]

Just by recruiting him, Masid received 10,000 achievement points.

[Guild channel subscribers have exceeded 10,000.]

[Guild achievement, 'Recruiting Subscribers (1)' cleared.]

[Obtained 1,000 achievement points as a reward.]

Recruiting Masid gave much more rewards than achieving 10,000 guild channel subscribers.

"Now I should start using the achievement points."

The achievement points that piled up tremendously after winning the Top 100 Promotion Battle.

Sung JiHan made up his mind to use them before the Silver League began.

Sung JiHan opened the achievement store.
