Your stamina has already increased by one?

Yes, uncle. The buff effect is really amazing!

Having been contacted by Lee Hayeon, Seong Jihan, who came to the guild, was surprised to hear that Yoon Seahs stamina had already increased by 1.

How long has it been since she awakened?

During the era of the last 10 countries on Earth, back then, when the secondary guild system was well-established, players sought to obtain the rare stat, perseverance but only one out of every ten players could raise their stamina by 10 within 100 days.

Raising stats naturally was always a tremendously difficult task

Yoon Seah increased her stamina by 2 just a week after her awakening.

Late Bloomer is the gift that Barren was wary of.

Barren always kept an eye on Xin Youhwa, the second-ranked player from China.

This was because the speed at which he caught up in ranking points was staggering.

Had the era of the last 10 countries lasted a bit longer, Xin Youhwa might have become the worlds top player.

Owner, I have a great idea! Lee Hayeon said with an enthusiastic expression.

What is it?

Shouldnt we spread the news of Seahs amazing progress far and wide? It would also be a great way to promote the buffs of our guild!

I see. What do you have in mind?

Most people who watch our guild channel came because of you, the owner. Announcing this there might not draw as much attention.

Seong Jihan tilted his head in response.

Well, her stats are increasing so fast that people might be quite interested.

Yes, they might be. But considering the target we want our guild to reach, we need even more attention!

A target to reach?

Isnt it to be the best in the world?

The best in the world?

Lee Hayeons enthusiasm to prosper the guild was overflowing.

So owner, can you help?

What kind of help do you need? Do you want me to announce it on my channel?

Seong Jihans channel, which had surpassed 600,000 subscribers, would provide a much better promotional effect than the guild channel. However, Lee Hayeon shook her head.

That would be a huge help but if we rely on your channel every time we need promotion, well always end up asking you for favors.

So, what then?

Rather than that, I think promoting the guild channel would be better in the long run.

I see. How can I assist then?

Owner, do you remember the offer to manage your s from Divergent group.

Seong Jihan nodded.

Receiving management from Divergent group for activities was one of the conditions of Lee Hayeons recruitment.

I agreed to shoot one a month when I was in Silver.

Yes. I want to use that one opportunity now.

An ad all of a sudden?

Yes. Actually, Divergent group of Electronics approached me with an offer for you to be a model for their new smartphone

Why was the conversation shifting from growing the guild channel to a model for an ?

Lee Hayeon hesitated and trailed off.

Wow, uncle! Youre going to model for a phone ? Thats awesome.

Yes. I turned down other offers, but I thought I should discuss this since The Divergent group of Electronics directly approached me

Why didnt you take up the other offers?

When Yoon Seah looked at Lee Hayeon questioningly, Seong Jihan answered for her.

I agreed to do only one a month.

Why? Shouldnt you shoot when you can?

Theres no need to shoot too much right now.

Given that his value will continue to rise, there was no need to film s in advance.

However, considering the situation of the guild master, it might be best to shoot the for The Divergent group of Electronics.

Alright, lets film the one for The Divergent group of Electronics.

Ah! Are you sure?

Seong Jihan asked calmly, But what does this have to do with channel growth?

Well, I want to stream the behind-the-scenes footage of the on the guild channel.

Behind-the-scenes footage would people watch that?

Typically, people skip or change the channel when ads come on. Why would they watch the filming of such an ?

Seong Jihan asked, seemingly not understanding.

Sir, arent fan clubs for you springing up like mushrooms?

Fan clubs?

After the August 15th Korea-Japan match, the Sword kings fan base has nearly disintegrated. The massive national fandom seemed to have disappeared, but then you suddenly appeared.

Since that match, the Korean national team had been on a losing streak in several East Asia league games.

Korea, being overwhelmingly last. The nations BattleNet ranking was also expected to decline significantly this year.

In this situation, the emergence of a top prospect like Seong Jihan was a glimmer of hope for Korea.

He had overwhelmingly defeated Barren, the worlds top prospect, and had never lost a single BattleNet match.

Moreover, he was being courted by the worlds top guild, America First, to the extent they were offering him a blank check.

And yet, for some reason, he still remained in Korea?

It was a situation where he was destined to become a national star.

The biggest fan club is named The First, right?

Yes, The First. Its named that because uncle always ranks first.

Seah, you seem to know a lot.

Hehe, I joined too!

Why on earth would she join her uncles fan club?

Although Seong Jihan was puzzled, he understood where Lee Hayeon was getting at.

So youre saying that because I now have fans, theyll come to see the ?

Yes. If we live-stream the behind-the-scenes footage on the guild channel, many will come to watch. And after the shooting ends

Lee Hayeon, with full enthusiasm, explained the next steps.

Hearing the whole process, from the behind-the-scenes footage to guild promotion,

Seong Jihan thought, I made the right decision giving her a stake.

The guild he initially saw as just a buff shuttle was now growing beyond control, thanks to the passionate guild master.

Alright I need to achieve guild milestones anyway.

Considering the effort to earn achievement points by growing the guild, Seong Jihan decided to support the guild master, who would handle all the tedious work.

5 days later, Daegi Guild Channel

Jihans filming the Divergent group of Electronics ad today, right?

Yes, thats right~ Hahaha!!!

Even before the live broadcast began, tens of thousands of viewers were already logged into the chat.

Cant believe a newbie is shooting a phone ad, LOL. Its ridiculous for real.

Its not just any Silver Rank shooting the ad! Its Jihan!

Werent you from the Sword King fandom? I can tell from the way you talk.

I left that fandom ages ago. -_-

Im proud of Jihan^^ Looking forward to the amazing ^^

We are from The First, we support you!!!!!!

Lately, the increasing number of female fans and older viewers who experienced national pride after the King of Swords had been participating in the chat, turning the guild channel chat into chaos.

After the August 15th Korea-Japan match, the Korean national team kept losing in regional league matches, but ironically, Jihans fan base expanded even more.

In the Korean BattleNet situation, the only ray of hope was Jihan.

Oh. Its starting.

3 minutes later, a black screen began streaming.

Hello everyone~ Guild Master Lee Hayeon here~

The chat was flooded with messages from men as the dolled-up Hayeon appeared.

Wow!!!!!

Shes so classy today Shouldnt the Guild Master be the one filming the ads from now on?

Just seeing her is enough. Please broadcast more on the channel Hehe Ive missed her

Honestly, Im here to see Hayeon rather than Jihan.

Me too lololol!

Thank you for your kind words! But todays star is someone else! Lets go meet our owner, shall we?

Hayeon approached Jihan, who was finishing up his makeup in the dressing room, along with the film crew.

Owner! Wow~ Your already handsome face is shining even more with the makeup~!

Are we starting the filming now?

Yes. We should start filming now. This hairstyle suits you, right, everyone?

Wow! Jihan is so handsome

He looks great even with his regular style but this new, He looks so sexy

Im glad I skipped my class to watch the stream

Why so excited?

Because hes so handsome.

I totally agree.

Jihan, who was already popular among the players for his handsome looks, received an explosive reaction for revealing his forehead, which was usually covered.

Since the owner is appearing today, we already have over 30,000 concurrent viewers~ Its not the same as the usually dull guild channel!

Its not necessarily because of me. The guild channel has grown significantly too.

Compared to the owners channel, its still small. Now, everyone! Do you know what product were advertising today?

Responses quickly flooded in.

Is it the long-awaited Space 23?

Its Divergent groups counterattack against LK Electronics dominance!

Beating LK? What a joke lololol. Isnt it obvious that the Divergent group is hiring shills?

Seriously, how can The Divergent group beat LK Electronics in smartphones lololol.

The general perception worldwide, including in Korea in 2020, was that LK Electronics smartphones were superior to The Divergent group.

Wow. We used to be much better If only it werent for that damn BattleNet

Seeing the chat, Hayeon tried to suppress her anger and forced a smile.

This time, Its something different! Its really a masterpiece!

The guild masters phone looks like Oh? Its the Space model.

Thats her secondary phone. I saw her using an LK Electronics Phone before~^0^

Im disappointed shes cleaning her phone for the broadcast.

No! What are you talking about!!! I only use The Divergent group phones! If I use a LK Electronics, Ill be kicked out of the house!

Huh? Howd you get kicked out? Perhaps

No!

Lololol. The Guild Masters reaction is gold. Its fun teasing her.

When else can we tease a chaebol lady?

Is she really a chaebol? Why is a chaebol so pretty?

She is a real chaebol. Thats why life is unfair.

Jihan watched Hayeon engaging with the viewers, mixing in appropriate reactions.

I think the channel wouldve blown up even if I didnt show up

Having appeared on the guild channel previously, Lee Hayeon already had the nickname Chaebol Goddess on the internet.

Simply broadcasting her guild-related briefings seemed to quickly boost the channels growth.

Ah Seriously Anyway! This time its different. Our Divergent group has achieved an amazing innovation! Look at this!

With a confident expression, Lee Hayeon took out The Divergent group Electronics new smartphone, the Space 23.

At first glance, it didnt look much different from the smartphones popular in 2020.

However, when Lee Hayeon unfolded the smartphone, the screen smoothly stretched out and then folded back.

Wow, theres a good reason for her confidence.

It looks better than the LK foldable phone.

Recently, foldable smartphones have become a trend.

The Space 23 released by Divergent group Electronics had a display performance that was clearly a level above the existing ones.

Seeing the positive reaction from the audience, Lee Hayeon confidently smiled and said,

This is a technological innovation obtained by providing Divergent group Electronics with three Akashic Pages from the Divergent Guild!

Three Akashic Pages?

Divergent group really went all out.

The viewers seemed even more interested upon hearing about the use of Akashic Pages.

But the interest wasnt just from regular viewers.

[Akashic Page?]

Until now, Ariel, who had been still inside Sung Jihans left arm, spoke out.

[You cant be serious They used it for such a trivial thing?]

She exclaimed in a voice full of disbelief.
