Chapter 60 - Few Troublemaker Gods
I didn’t feel any threat or worry when I read her message.
[She might just be sleeping or something. Or perhaps doing a quest of her own] I sent to Angelica while thinking little about that ace.
I just wanted to add her to my own squad. As the launch of the channel became this successful, then adding good players to my own formation would make my channel stronger.
[Are you sure? She doesn’t even respond to my calls!]
Tsk! This girl just was over worried.
[Just keep contacting her. In less than one hour she will respond]
The time of peace in between quests wasn’t an idle period. In fact many small quests were thrown around the world and anyone could trigger them.
As someone who had deep knowledge about the enemy and the apocalypse, she might have some info about a few quests. Taking part in one of them wasn’t hard for her.
As Angelica stopped bugging me with her worries, I started to think about my next step.
“You, you and you… Go and tell everyone to take back all the monster cores and materials,” I selected a group of twenty healers who were standing idle and gave them this task.
Letting such a big harvest to waste wasn’t part of my way. Even if they would be sold for a few coins, with this many I could get something of it.
As I watched the healers go away, I decided to finally open the notifications of my channel.
Then I got drowned by the long messages appearing all of sudden, one after another.
[An anonymous god is cheering out for you!]
[An anonymous god is asking about supporting you!]
[An anonymous god is complaining. He says you used an underhanded tactic against the challenges here!]
[An anonymous god is looking towards the previous god in disdain. He says that god is just part of the dark god camp and on the side of evil!]
[An anonymous god is nodding in agreement!]
[An anonymous god is pointing at the dark god camp and laughing. He says that God doesn’t know how to take a loss!]
[Many anonymous gods are nodding in agreement for the past statement!]
Dark camp gods? This was a new term even for me. I knew a lot about gods, but it seemed I didn’t know that much.
But did that mean there were gods supporting angels? Just thinking about that made me realize something.
The angels were also a race like humans, coming from worlds which survived the apocalypse before. I still didn’t know the process of them being the judges here, but it made logic to have gods supporting them.
“So you are bitter about their loss? Hahaha, what did you expect? For me to die and surrender to them? Pathetic,” I simply said out loud and expressed my own opinion.
After all this was my channel and I would never allow for such a treacherous god to be there as a spy.
[Many anonymous gods are expressing their support for you]
[That dark camp god has his face darkened out of anger]
[One anonymous god is delighted that you said these words]
[One anonymous god has donated ten thousand coins for you]
[One anonymous god has donated five thousand coins for you]
…
Donations kept raining down and in just a few minutes I got almost over one hundred thousand coins. This wasn’t bad. Getting coins for saying a few words? It wasn’t bad at all!
Just before things would quiet down a little, a message popped up in front of me.
[The dark camp god promises you death in the next round. He says you won’t be able to survive and he will make sure of this]
[The dark camp god leaves your channel]
Wow! He even got a hot temper! I didn’t care about his empty threats. Since when did the angels and those standing behind them acted fair towards humans in this apocalypse?
But from what I just saw, many of the gods here were already pleased by my actions and words. It felt good to have some supporting me, even if few.
As for the rest, I knew they just were here for fun. I wasn’t displeased by their neutral state, but later on I was sure I’d turn them all into my supporters.
[An anonymous god says you did well back there. You did what he asked for and will give you a reward soon]
Oh, it was that one, the god who supported Bulltors. I was curious about his identity. After all, he paid a hefty price just to deliver me that warning.
But if the Bulltors lost their world, that meant their gods aren’t that strong or authoritative. So he must be some god outside the Bulltor’s real world. Might also be a human god, or another race supreme god, who knew.
Anyway I waited for my boys to complete their mission while doing nothing but screen through my channel.
The channel had one main video uploaded there, the one where I fought against the weapon and the monster tides. Just as I was thinking about sending this video out in a broadcast to attract more subscribers, another row of messages appeared all of sudden.
[Some gods are asking about the origin of your warriors]
[They claim without these warriors, your victory wouldn’t be possible]
[Few gods are causing a ruckus about that issue, saying that was unfair for a human to have such power early on]
Oh, there were more of those scum gods in my channel… I thought there was only that dark camp god who just left.
I didn’t need to know more to figure out where their true loyalty lied. They were trying to fish in the darkness, while acting all righteous.
But as I didn’t get any message from other gods claiming them to belong to the dark camp, I couldn’t openly attack them. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“I got them in one of my earlier quests. It’s just a pity that I can’t get these precious moments back and show them to you,” I said out loud while the eyes of the jumper next to me were glaring in weird ways.
The jumper was still injured. Even with the help of all the healers here, he still remained on the ground.
“Trying to curry favor with those gods? You’re finally acting as their clown?” His disdain was clear from his harsh voice. But I didn’t mind his words.
In fact I really regret not having the option to retrieve old videos. Or else my competition at the class quest would help in advertising my channel for more gods.
[Few gods are accusing you of acting innocent while you are a criminal]
[Other gods stood up to defend you]
[More gods are saying their opinions]
[The majority of gods want to know how you managed to get your hands over such warriors, especially the Bulltors]
[Many gods are asking for an explanation]
I didn’t expect things to reach this far! I thought that my earlier statement would be enough. As I frowned and didn’t know what to tell or do, a solution came all of sudden.
[A god sends you a gift as a thanks for you fulfilling your earlier promise with him]
[You gained three items]
[You acquired the advanced channel expansion pack, the channel subscribers package, and the retrieval reel]
I looked up at these three items without knowing what to say. I knew from the old man’s words that each channel would have many packs once I exceed the number of ten thousand subscribers.
But was that easy to accomplish? I could buy the channel expansion reel and make my channel’s capacity exceed ten thousand subscribers.
Expanding the channel was something different than having ten thousand real subscribers. It was a goal I set for later quests. After all, I was confident in my ability to put on a good show and attract more eyes.
But now? I just got what I needed without even asking for it.
I opened the three item descriptions and once I read them, I couldn’t control my laughs.
[Advanced channel expansion pack: Channel specific package. For those with channels exceeding fifteen thousand real subscribers. The package contains the advanced expansion limit to reach fifty thousand subscribers limit, the channel propaganda intermediate package which allows selected short videos of your channel to be streamed over a thousand channel with fifty thousand real subscribers at least, plus the channel logo sponsorship at one third of the ongoing apocalyptic events in the universe for one day]
[The channel subscribers package: channel specific package. Stratify subscribers according to their spending over your channel from donation, sponsorship, and even gifts. Also gives more privilege for the gods in fine gold tier and above the privilege to be part of the top god secret channel and can leak news to you taken from that secret channel]
[Retrieval reel: channel specific item. Can only be used at active channels. Allows the owner and any participant of the channel to retrieve parts of their memory prior to the start of the channel or prior to the date of them joining the channel. Memories can only be taken from the moment of the start of the apocalypse and not before. The selected videos can be given to the channel by the owner’s consent and the owner of the channel can use these videos as he sees fit]
That was really something else! That god… I just wanted to hug him and kiss that god if he was a female.
After all, female gods were famous for their mesmerizing beauty.
The items he gifted me were all top class, things I couldn’t get unless my channel reached a terrifying figure of over fifteen thousand real subscribers.
By the look of things, I knew reaching such a goal would take a lot of time. Even with my outstanding advertising from earlier, I only managed to get slightly above three thousand and five hundred gods.
If you look at the expansion options, the channel privileges for gods in high tiers in my channel, or even the propaganda that seemed just legendary and unreal to me… Everything was really perfect for my channel to really have a stronger push and become one of the best channels in this apocalypse.
I was going to be a universe wide celebrity, a true celebrity. Why wouldn’t I laugh? I was so happy right now. But I needed to silence those trouble makers before things would get out of control.
“I now have a way to get you see my earlier performance,” as I used the three items at once, and agreed to execute their effects at my current and only channel, I added, “from this video you’ll be able to see how I managed to get my warriors in a fair way, according to the rules of the quest without breaking them.”
I just thought about what I experienced and the next moment a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[You recalled a memory that happened after the start of the apocalypse]
[You have the option to separate it into one video, or a group of small videos and share them inside your channel]
“Separate them into a group of videos,” I thought about it for a moment before adding, “let each video shows part of the quest]
[Retrieval item is active]
[Generating videos]
[Seven short videos are created alongside one long video]
[Which ones do you want to publish on your channel?]
“Publish all,” I shrugged, “no harm in having short videos and long ones at the same time.”
[Videos are published. What do you want to name this group of videos?]
“The hidden class quest events,” I said before thinking about another thing, “also add to the short videos with me summoning warriors another title: Summoning elite warriors.”
[Naming the videos is a success]
[A notification message is sent to all your subscribers]
As I did that, I couldn’t prevent my wide smile from overwhelming my face. Now those naughty gods with dirty ulterior motives would be silenced. And now I had to think about which videos I should use for my propaganda.
“I’ll kill you!”
Just while I was absorbed in all that, I felt a strong force coming without warning at me and I lost my balance. I gazed up at the shining eyes of that jumper… his eyes were really scary.
“Calm down, I just did that for your own good.”
“My own good my ass! I’ll kill you right here right now!”
Sh*t! He was really angry this time!
