The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 622:

'As if waiting for BattleTube to be turned on, he appears immediately.'

Seong Jihan looked curiously at the Black Administrator's entrance.

Of course, it wasn't unusual for administrator-level entities to enter the chat, but it was rare for the Black Administrator to reveal his presence so dramatically after waiting.

Moreover,

Swish...

Half of Seong Jihan's channel chat window turned purple, and no more text appeared there.

-What's this?

-Why did the chat window suddenly change?

-Wait, half of it just disappeared?

-Isn't it because of the Black Administrator? Purple is the symbol of the void.

-Why is the administrator coming here to bully us ??

-Come on... We need the Red stat...

Viewers who had been pleading about when they could enter the Tower of Martial Gods protested at this, but,

Whoosh...

As if ignoring them, the purple covering the chat window expanded further.

'Why is this guy suddenly acting like this.'

Completely covering the chat window.

This was even more creatively disruptive than when the World Tree Alliance guys spammed the chat.

Seong Jihan frowned and opened his mouth.

"If you have something to say, why don't you just say it? Without covering the chat..."

However, before he could finish speaking,

Swish.

[Confirmed that the server administrator has been changed to isolate 'Seong Jihan'.]

Text suddenly appeared in the area covering the chat window.

'...Isolate? Is this guy also related to Ark?'

Come to think of it, the Black Administrator had also taught him how to become a light clan member.

Wasn't that consistent with what Id told him, allowing him to enter Ark successfully?

'In Dongbang Sak's memories, he helped Urd, but here he gave me information... Is he revealing his true intentions now?'

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

[The void control authority is still attributed to isolate 'Urd'.]

[Please retrieve the void control authority.]

The Black Administrator mentioned the void control authority, then,

Swish...

Withdrew the purple covering the chat window.

-Oh, it's gone.

-What was that about?

-Was that a conversation between administrators?

-Why cover the chat window to talk directly... ??

"A conversation? I'm not sure what that was about either. He just appeared and disappeared."

Seong Jihan shrugged at the chat's reaction.

Of course, he had seen the text in the area covering the chat window, but there was no need to pretend he had read the message.

More importantly,

"The reason I started this broadcast today is related to the Red stat many of you have been inquiring about."

Seong Jihan brought up a topic the viewers would like.

-Ooh...

-Is it finally about the Red stat???

-Is the Tower of Martial Gods opening?

-Wow, I've been waiting for this day...

-I was climbing the Tower of Martial Gods and missed the Red stat right in front of me... I have a video, administrator. Is there any way I can get the Red stat?

As soon as he mentioned the Red stat,

The alien viewers, forgetting about the Black Administrator occupying the chat window, unleashed tremendous firepower.

This was a natural reaction given how valuable the 'Red' stat had proven to be for regular players.

"It's difficult to challenge the Tower of Martial Gods as only those who clear Tower get the right to challenge it... But there are ways to grant Red other than challenging the Tower of Martial Gods."

Viewers who were disappointed at not being able to challenge the Tower of Martial Gods anymore,

-Oh!!!

-You can get Red without challenging the Tower of Martial Gods... What's the method?

-Please let it be something easy, give us weaklings a chance...

-Don't tell me we have to beat that old man in Tower?

-No, the old man isn't the problem. The old Martial God appears on the lower floors... We can't even beat him first lolol

They were excited at Seong Jihan saying he could grant Red, but worried about what the method might be.

To these viewers,

"The condition this time is very simple. Please upload Tower-related videos to BattleTube."

Seong Jihan continued with a grin.

"Strategy videos are good, videos of just wandering around Tower are fine too. Edited versions are okay. Full versions are fine as well. As long as the player themselves appear, I'll consider any video valid. Just upload a lot of them."

-We just need to upload videos to BattleTube?

-Really, any kind is okay?

-Oh... This seems doable.

-But what if people split videos and upload indiscriminately? Will spamming count too?

-Come on, shouldn't we upload somewhat normal videos?

While viewers were excited that they just needed to upload videos,

They were confused about the evaluation criteria for uploads, unsure if it was clear.

There were many ways to increase the number of videos, after all.

They worried there might be unfair practices.

However,

"You don't have to upload normal ones."

Seong Jihan dispelled such concerns at once.

-For real?

-We can split videos as much as we want?

-It's okay even if we get just 1 view?

-Won't this mess up BattleTube? lol

-Seems like everyone will just upload Tower videos.

"Well, BattleTube isn't mine, so it doesn't matter."

Seong Jihan smirked at the viewers' concerns. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

This upload event was a method to gain the White Light stat anyway,

So whether BattleTube became a mess wasn't something Seong Jihan should consider.

Especially,

'If BattleTube is related to Ark, there's even less reason to be considerate.'

What was important was preventing the risk of Server 4212 closing in Ark through smooth White Light supply.

Was BattleTube becoming a bit messy really important compared to that?

"You can spam BattleTube. You can split videos and upload them. I'll grant the Red stat to the top 100 players who upload the most videos in a week, and the top 100 in views."

When Seong Jihan announced these criteria,

-Wow... 100 each

-That's a lot

-But what if people manipulate the view count? Fair competition...

While viewers were excited about 200 people getting Red each week, they worried about view count manipulation, but

"Manipulation? That's fine too. What matters is that the count goes up."

Seong Jihan took a stance of not caring at all about this, saying he'd only look at the results.

-Wow... So as long as the count goes up, that's all that matters?

-Our species' only strength is our brains, so this is perfect. Let's go! lol

-Is it okay for an administrator to do this?

-Won't BattleNet sanction this?

BattleNet sanctions?

'Do they have means to sanction a server administrator?'

Although he couldn't properly operate the server management device due to insufficient White Light stat, Seong Jihan was still the de facto administrator of Server 4212.

So who would sanction whom?

"If I get sanctioned, we'll think about it then. For now, use whatever means you can to upload lots of videos. The count will start in a week."

-Wow, I didn't expect the Red stat to be given out like this...

-I'm already splitting videos.

-But who's going to do the counting?

-For real, just counting this seems like a lot of work.

At his words to upload Tower-related videos to BattleTube by any means necessary, viewers worried that even just counting would be a lot of work, but Seong Jihan had something he was relying on.

'Hey, can you do it?'

[Of course. Simply tallying numbers is nothing. Shall I create a related program?]

'That would be good.'

[I'll do it right away.]

The Red Administrator, who handled all complex tasks except combat agreed.

Whoosh...!

As flames seemed to rise in the air, a screen was created from a red window.

[Scoreboard]

On that screen with "Scoreboard" written in red letters, the screen was divided into left and right columns for video count / view count.

100 player names and rankings were listed.

-What? It came out right away?

-The current 1st place uploaded 130 videos. What, did they know about this in advance?

-No, the 1st place player just uploaded videos summarizing each enemy type in Tower.

-Wow... That's crazy? I'm going to upload now...

Viewers, their eyes popping at the scoreboard,

All started to work on their uploads.

And seeing the rankings change in real-time, Seong Jihan was secretly impressed.

'Wow... It's tallying in real-time. How is such a system possible right away?'

[Compared to coordinating with Hephaestus in Ark, this is nothing. And this scoreboard can be kept displayed on your channel if applied.]

Then, there was no need to keep the broadcast on to show the scoreboard status.

'He really is good at everything except combat.'

Thinking this, Seong Jihan said,

"I'll keep the scoreboard displayed on the channel. See you in a week. I look forward to your efforts."

With those final words, he ended the broadcast.

And from that day on,

-No way...

-Only Tower videos are being uploaded. lolol

-BattleTube has become a mess. lool

All new videos on BattleTube started to be about Tower.

* * *

Three days later, at Sword Palace.

"Argh... What's with these aliens?! How did they upload 100,000 videos in just 3 days?!"

Yoon Seah burst out in anger while looking at the scoreboard on Seong Jihan's channel.

"Uncle! Won't this cause problems? The 1st place is just uploading 1-second split videos!"

"Why are you getting so worked up? Don't tell me you're participating too?"

"Yeah. I wanted to get the administrator's ability too, so I tried. Ugh. I uploaded 1,000... but the aliens are too strong as opponents."

Even uploading 1,000 in 3 days was impressive.

Seong Jihan smirked looking at Yoon Seah's tired eyes.

"Hey. Don't waste your effort, just stop. I'll just give you Red."

"Huh...? You'll just give it to me? Without any conditions?"

"Yeah. It's an ability I'm handing out freely anyway. I can spare one for you."

He wondered why she looked so tired when he came after a long time, but she was working this hard to get the Red stat.

Seong Jihan said there was no need for that and he'd give her the ability, but,

"Uncle. But won't the Black Administrator come out and say you shouldn't help humans?"

"Ah. Like when you sponsored last time?"

"Yeah. What if I cause trouble for you?"

At those words, Seong Jihan recalled the message he received from the Black Administrator.

-Confirmed that the server administrator has been changed to isolate 'Seong Jihan'.

While acknowledging Seong Jihan as the server administrator, they clearly told him to retrieve the void control authority from Urd.

'It seems I need to access the server management device to retrieve the control authority... but White Light is the problem.'

Even when trying to log in, the message about insufficient White Light kept appearing.

At this rate, it seemed the stat would reach 200 before he could log in.

'Is the login criteria perhaps 200 stat?'

If so, it would be possible soon.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan looked at Yoon Seah.

'The Black Administrator sent that message, so giving Seah the Red stat probably won't be a big problem...'

Still, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Maybe he should be careful until he retrieves the void control authority.

He can give the Red stat later anyway.

Deciding this, he told her,

"You have a point. I'll give you Red later when the issue with Black is resolved. Don't bother challenging the scoreboard."

"Is there no hope with 1,000 uploads?"

"The 100th place is around 50,000 now, think you can make it?"

"Ugh... I guess not..."

As Yoon Seah was about to give up, realizing the enormous gap with 100th place,

Zing...

"Ugh... Splitting videos is so tiring..."

Sophia came out of the BattleNet connector room in the penthouse, rubbing her eyes.

"Oh. Jihan. You're here?"

She greeted Seong Jihan happily upon seeing him.

Lately, Sophia was here every time he came home.

'Now I feel like the guest here.'

Thinking this, Seong Jihan

Flash...

Noticed the divine eye flickering on Sophia's forehead again and his expression hardened.

'Is it a signal from the eye in Ark?'

But that eye was using Sophia as some kind of communication route.

He thought he'd have to fix that method later as he approached her.
