Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 378: The Coercive Swordsman
While the Elven New World and the Lost Players were happily enjoying their reverse-pet culture under the grip of the elves, outside their little Galapagos, the Silent Swordsman was roaming with a contract in hand.
The more spirit contracts one can make, the higher Mark 2’s contract efficiency becomes.
For Ha Eung Eung, with the help of Eom Gil-dong, Eom Gil-dan, and her broadcast viewers, it was a situation where she had to conduct as many contracts as possible.
“No.”
When Ha Eung Eung thrust the [Spirit Contract] sign in front of a passerby, she was shocked by the response.
How could they refuse her request?
Seeing her expression, the passerby, who had refused, started offering an explanation out of guilt.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
“It’s just that... spending a million gold on a Lucky Cat isn’t really worth it. I can’t send it to the arena as my apprentice, it won’t help with hunting, and it doesn’t listen.”
That’s right.
Spirits were fundamentally useless.
You couldn’t even use them as gladiators.
They wouldn’t help with hunting.
They wouldn’t listen.
All they did was act cute, like a punk!
They were no different from a cat that came around at meal times, glaring at you and pawing at you!
Even with the persuasive power of the unparalleled beauty Ha Eung Eung, there was no way she could throw all her wealth into the trash!
[No, spirits are useful.]
“Eh? How so?”
Exactly.
Where could they be useful?
Even the one who brought it up couldn’t immediately answer, let alone describe the grandeur of spirits!
[You can show off your wealth.]
“I don’t want to waste my fortune.”
[It’s healing.]
“I feel like I’m undead. Healing sounds useless to me; I think I’m going to die from some disease.”
[Just give the summoning a try.]
“No.”
This was a tough opponent.
Ha Eung Eung decided to use her secret weapon on the customer who refused to summon a spirit.
[There are benefits to having a spirit.]
“It’s the last time. I need to go meet my friend.”
[If you have a spirit, I won’t attack.]
“Huh?”
[If you don’t have a spirit, I might attack.]
This was outright coercion.
Seeing the shocked player, Ha Eung Eung boldly scribbled on the sign again.
[Choose what you want. Pay a million gold, sign the contract, and save your life, or die and lose your character, then start over.]
“This, this isn’t right!”
[You have one minute to think.]
The player cried and handed over a million gold.
There was no warrior in this world who could stop the Silent Swordsman, especially with Lee Hae-chan, who was virtually the server host, already defeated.
The story of the coercive spirit contract was posted on the Gladiator Raising event/incidents board.
[So, who’s going to stop this crazy bastard?][6]
This crazy spirit contract promotion ambassador is at the city entrance, letting people in if they have a spirit, and shoving a contract in their face if they don’t, what are we going to do? hahaha
Just don’t go to the cityWe’re wild outlaws from todayHonestly, I wanted to be a barbarianHey, you cowards!!Ma’am, you don’t have the confidence to beat the Silent Swordsman eitherReally hahaha
[Our Flying Camel Kingdom supports the Silent Swordsman’s spirit contract coercion][9]
We’re not into spirit lovers, but considering the goodwill the Silent Swordsman has shown in creating a kingdom for animal lovers, we support this declaration.
How is the Flying Camel Kingdom supporting this?Is this side the evil one?Traitors of humanity teaming up with the Demon King SwordsmanThey were dirty to begin withYeah, they were originally animal loversCan’t we just leave them alone?DamnConsideration hahaha Chosun hahahaI’m off, Chairman, your humor just cracked my skull
[Our Postcal Kingdom supports the Silent Swordsman’s spirit contract coercion]
If you don’t want to be sliced in half by real estate, better pay attention
Ah hahaha, so that’s whyWe can’t let it become like the Great Iron KingdomThe building owner hard countered by the nation resetting villain hahahaSo, to stab the virtual real estate rich guys in their bellies, we have to protest against the Silent Swordsman?Before that, our soldiers will be cracking down on the protest marchShall we fight then?What can those poor bastards without land do??Crossing the lineHey, gather the coup comradesI’ve received coordinates, 1112222Is this the post declaring war?Postcal Kingdom, we’ll accept your challengeBe ready. We’ll make you the “Great # Nоvеlight # Iron Kingdom”Hahaha, I’m pulling out the armored suit from storage
A small argument about petty insults and asset pride escalated quickly.
Soon, players who were trying to do the same thing as the Silent Swordsman and overthrow a kingdom formed a large underground organization!
At the center of this was Eom Gil-dong, who had been killed once by Ha Eung Eung, losing both his character and wealth.
“An evil kingdom that looks down on players just because they own land deserves to be destroyed! Let’s destroy Postcal and give birth to the Spirit Kingdom!”
“Destruction! Destruction!”
“The misery of spirit contracts... no, let’s force these foreigners who don’t know joy into contracts!”
“Contracts! Contracts!”
“Let’s show them our battle prowess honed in civil wars! Begin the invasion of Postcal Kingdom!”
Eom Gil-dong’s perfect provocation of human malice, as he rallied his Eom Gil-dan followers, showed Korean players what the harsh spirit contract was like and drew them in to join.
The spark that began on the forum turned into a massive event.
[Postcal isn’t our land, right?][7]
It’s land the Portuguese bastards took, right?Those cheeky bastards were arrogantWithout armored suits, how dare they act like thatDon’t they still use human gladiators in Gladiator Raising, saying they have to fight with swords?Really hahahaI saw them using some weird name like Cutlass, a pirate who carries a strange swordPrimitive fools hahaha
Gladiator Raising has many nations.
In reality, the countries were divided, almost every real country got its own zone!
Up until now, the appearance of armored suits had allowed Korean players to dominate the rankings, but with the fall of the armored era, western nations were starting to get greedy.
[Yellow monkeys, look at this][9]
Those monkeys with just armor tricks are so arrogant!
You’re not scary without your Iron Giants.
I’ll accept your challenge.
Aren’t those guys just practicing armored manipulation, and their swordsmanship rank is low?They can’t even upgrade their specs, they’re useless hahahaExperts in armored manipulation (without any armor)The Demon King Swordsman’s ruckus also split the ranking players in half, right?Now’s our chance to push the Koreans out of Gladiator RaisingWe can’t allow something like the Iron Giant to appear againWhat about the animal lovers?Those guys are fineAnimal lovers are allies, no friendly fire!
[The Yaspaña Kingdom supports Postcal Kingdom][5]
Postcal was our long-time rival, but at least they understood decency.
The Iron Giant was too much.
We won’t stand by and let them force the broken spirit meta onto our country.
Agreed.If you’re going to turn us into the “Great Iron Kingdom”, we’ll turn you into “Epic Fantasy”For a clean game without Koreans!The real EU failed, but the virtual EU is different. All Europeans, unite!The European server is for Europeans!
The conflict escalated quickly.
In just a day, it turned into a national war between Korean players and EU players!
This news was relayed to Ha Eung Eung, the diligent mother who had been coercing spirit contracts for her daughter.
[I'm the Coercive Swordsman with a sword.]
[Do you want to make a spirit contract, or die?]
Just yesterday, when she thrust out a sign with pre-written words, the pedestrians, with tears in their eyes, gave up their entire fortunes. But today, the reaction was a bit different.
“Are you serious? Right now, there’s a war between Korea and Europe in the game!”
[War?]
“Look at this post. If we lose the war, Koreans will be exterminated like in Epic Fantasy in Gladiator Raising!”
[That’s troublesome.]
If all potential clients were dying, it would cause problems for the spirit contracts.
That was something Ha Eung Eung didn’t want.
[But you said you wouldn’t make contracts.]
“Well, the thing is...”
[Well, it seems like everyone who was going to sign has already done so, so can’t we just let it fail now?]
Of course, that was only true if there were potential clients.
If no one would become a client anymore, then the war didn’t matter.
“You... are you really Korean?”
[For my child, I must make as many contracts as possible. There is no country greater than my child.]
The coercive contractor’s absurdly rational argument!
[Now that I think about it, the population of all countries combined is greater than Korea’s.]
“So, if the Chinese outnumber Koreans, will you side with China in a dispute?”
[No, I wouldn’t.]
“Really?”
[I've seen what happens when the Chinese gain power, and I’m sick of it.]
Whether righteous or not, the truth of the martial world was ugly.
Those who knew both martial arts and cooperation died in battle, while those who maintained their power lived in luxury.
Fighting against this unjust order, the Heavenly Demon and Dark Cult emerged, bringing righteousness.
‘The one who sought the end of martial arts opened the path to the heavenly realm, and the one who sought the end of cooperation was disappointed by human greed and retreated to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.’
The successful have left the world, and so have the failed.
The only ones left in the martial world were those who never saw the end of anything.
[I won’t let those who call themselves Chinese wield the power of a spirit.]
“I... I see.”
[EU doesn’t matter. I only have good memories with the mixed-blood.]
Actually, all that remained were memories of debt.
Those who didn’t know Ha Eung Eung’s past couldn’t understand her favorable attitude toward the Westerners.
<Eom Gil-dong donated 10,000 won for a video!>
I expected this.
(Showing that even foreigners avoid spirit contracts)
But what if that favorable attitude toward the mixed-bloods gets betrayed?
Eom Gil-dong hit the mark perfectly.
<Eom Gil-dong donated 10,000 won!>
Teacher, the rumor that spirit contracts are evil has already spread to players worldwide. Let’s just team up and sign mandatory contracts with the losing countries.
If there are no contractors, it’s better to rob the country than to steal from a poor individual.
As a "Merchant of Death" and a brainy streamer, this was a shocking offer.
‘I shouldn’t be doing this.’
She knew it was wrong.
But she couldn’t help being drawn to the offer.
