“I will hang up before your idiocy transfers to me . Then, at least click share . ”
[Yes…]
Kang Chul-In hung up quickly and called Old man Kwon .
“Old man, I have a favor . ”
Luckly, things worked out well with Old Man Kwon .
[Ah, really? Alright . I will get my Hong Kong boys on it . They speak some English . Would about 100 comments be enough?]
“That’s enough . ”
Old Man Kwon was eager to help after hearing Kang Chul-In revealed a new item—perhaps he smelled money . A person first needs to be smart .
[You are trying to get Explorers together . Is it a foundation beneficial for our partnership as well?]
“This and that . We will talk details later . Now is not the time . ”
[Hm… I guess I will find out one by one . I will take care of what you asked within the hour, so do not worry . ]
“I got it old man . ”
After the conversation with old man Kwon, Kang Chul-In casually waited for the post to go viral .
After an hour or so… Kang Chul-In’s post became ranked as one of the top posts, and grabbed the attention of the World users .
‘I got it!’
The response was explosive .
The post that was already attention worthy combined with a bit of manipulation caused the viewings to skyrocket .
Before it became 2 hours since the post, there were over a thousand comments .
And that was not all .
Personal messages flowed in his mailbox .
One… two… suddenly 50… and when three hours passed, around 500 messages were in his mailbox .
‘This is still not enough . ’
Kang Chul-In did not stop there .
-[Notice] I will reveal new items every hour .
I will go on a conquest soon .
Explorers who wish to join my team send me a message of your profile, and I will respond after review . magic
And after that, Kang Chul-In revealed one item per hour for three hours .
The World community exploded .
Kang Chul-In’s post ranked 1,2,3, and 4 in the entire World Best Post creating a frenzy, and this news spread to Korea’s other sites, creating noise in Korea’s internet as well .
“Easy . ”
Kang Chul-In, who had created a viral post in a simple way, sipped his coffee leisurely and smiled . Honestly, the items that Kang Chul-In had posted were not that great, nor was it attention-worthy . The reasons were as follows .
First, the items that were introduced on World were low-level items that would be used in the early stages of the Grand Summoning .
Second, any Sovereign with enough wealth in their land could introduce even better items than Kang Chul-In .
But the reason why Kang Chul-In had gotten such viral responses was that he acted quickly before anyone could think or have a chance to .
There is a saying, life is timing . Whatever it was, the one who did it first would have the most gain . And through this, Kang Chul-In gained something else other than just gathering Explorers .
Because all his posts were 1st to 4th place in the best post category in World, it was not an overstatement to say that there was almost no user in World that did not know his username, ‘Overlord’ .
He had become famous after just a couple posts .
From now on, Kang Chul-In’s posts would automatically become one of the most viewed posts, and he had to a certain extent gained the trust of the World users . It was something that he did not expect from the start .
‘Nice, now I will throw some incentives . ’
The next step was easy .
He would throw gold and items as bait and recruit competent Explorers, meet at Pandemonium, and create a team .
Although he did have work cut out for him to look through all the thousands of messages in his inbox .
He went at the messages right away .
There were all sorts of messages, from those questioning where the items came from, or those wishing to buy the items, messages cursing him, and much more . However… of the bunch… there was one that stood out to him and grabbed his attention .
“Aha… . ”
Kang Chul-In’s eyes sparkled after checking the sender of the message .
The account’s name was ‘Lumpen’ .
It was a message from someone that had received the title of Grand Sovereign in the past, and had been a worthy opponent to Kang Chul-In himself, Dorian Explorer!
