＜ Episode 67. Playing Coach (2) ＞
From the day after the interview with Aserian, I started preparing to receive a large number of new 4th riders.
The first thing to do is to stabilize the players who came in 3rd.
The growth method of the network system has the characteristic that the number of players increases exponentially as the base goes down, but it also had the disadvantage that it could collapse in an instant if greedy.
So, in order to receive a large number of 4th class newcomers, the 3rd class had to be stabilized first.
‘I’ll have to give it custom training.’
I called the room and the new players to the classroom Aserian made for the theory class, and gave each one a piece of paper.
“What’s this?”
“A table that breaks down your daily routine: strength training, agility training, strength training, eating, sleeping, resting, meditating, sparring, weapon mastery, and so on. You yourself write down how much time you spend on that item during the week, how many sets and how many times you do each exercise.”
“Do I have to write it down accurately?”
“It’s up to you to decide whether to write properly or roughly. But I guarantee you that the fewer you have, the faster you become stronger.”
At my words, the players looked serious and started filling out the table.
Everyone was thinking, calculating how much they were training each week.
No one seems to know how much he trains per week, as he only trains according to the curriculum given to him.
‘That’s the biggest problem.’
In order to become stronger than others, you must be able to see your position objectively.
Only then will we be able to continue to grow.
“If you have written everything down, listen carefully. From now on, once every three days, we need to improve the items we have written now by 1%.”
“1% each?”
“yes. If you did 100 with strength training, do 101 after 3 days. Changing the environment of the accommodation to sleep better. That way, we keep improving by 1 percent.”
The strategy I laid out for new players was one that British Cycling team coach Dave Brailsford had used.
‘A total strategy of minor achievements.’
And it was actually a proven strategy.
In this way, the British cycling team won the Tour de France five times in six years, having never won it in 110 years.
1% may seem very insignificant at first glance, but you should know that this is compound interest.
Even in this way for one year alone, it was a 333% increase from the beginning in all areas.
“If you stick with it that way, you will get stronger in no time.”
However, the players seemed dubious about my words.
“Can I get stronger quickly by increasing it by just 1%?”
“You will know when you try it yourself. It is very difficult to increase that 1% every 3 days.”
From the next day, the players started training as I instructed.
Results came quickly.
It was because they trained less depending on their condition that day, or because the training was conducted in groups with other players, so even those who had surplus stamina squeezed them to the level they could do.
In other words, I wonder if a customized training was created for each individual who can do it consistently.
It was none other than Peanut El that was most encouraged by the rapid growth of the newcomers.
“The growth rate increased by 20% in one month. It’s not like we’ve changed our training method, just giving us a piece of paper is enough to do this…”
“Consistent and gradual overloading is the fastest way to grow. I just changed my mind to make it possible.”
“Thanks to you, I realized that I was stuck in stereotypes. I was simply thinking about the efficiency of training, but I didn’t even think about the mental part. In the future, I also need to develop my ability to see more broadly.”
Thanks to this training method, Peanut El felt like he had grown up a notch.
If it were her, in the future, she would even think of the parts I hadn’t seen.
The results of the introduction of the new training have returned with great success.
[Player ‘Camilla’ survived 3 matches of the lower league – Blood Knight 212.]
[We will pay 300 P as a fee for Team ‘Future’.]
[Player ‘Joo Chang-beom’ won 7 matches in the lower league – Blood Knight 213.]
[We will pay 1,800 P as a fee for Team ‘Future’.]
[Player ‘Zig’ in 6 matches of lower league – Blood Knight 214…]
[Player ‘Luciano’ in 7 matches of lower league – Blood Knight 214…]
Among the new players who participated in the lower leagues, there were only three deaths.
A whopping 81% survival rate.
Of course, the mortality rate is quite high until the second game, but in this state, the survival rate will not be very different.
‘3% is not enough.’
[9 P has been settled for playing coach ‘Ren’.]
[54 P has been settled for playing coach ‘Ren’.]
[45 P paid to playing coach ‘Ren’…]
It’s literally just a sigh.
But I didn’t care.
This is because the amount of points will increase exponentially over time.
‘If I go later, 3% may be higher than my fight point.’
well, anyway.
Now that a lot of players in the 3rd class have stabilized, it’s time to recruit new members in the 4th class…
jump!
“Ahn Woo-jin!”
Then, as I opened the door to the office, Aserian hurriedly came in.
Did something happen?
“Why is that?”
“I got a call from a game maker in a higher league.”
The game maker… got a call?
‘It’s an offer!’
I felt it the moment I heard her speak.
If not, there’s no need to contact the game maker…
“They say they want to hold a star match in a higher league.”
Aserian took a step closer and sat down on the chair across from me.
Star Wars?
As far as I remember, there was never a Seong-gye competition in the upper leagues, right?
More than anything······.
“How many players from Earth aren’t there in the higher leagues?”
Even before I returned, there were very few people from Earth in the higher leagues.
There were about 5 people including me?
There was no one in the higher leagues at all.
“They say there is none other than Ahn Woo-jin at the moment.”
“By the way, how are you going to open the interstellar battle?”
“That… I think there will be between 100 and 200 people participating in each system, but could even one person from Earth, An Woo-jin-nim, participate…”
At Aserian’s words, I burst out laughing.
Did you think I would accept this condition?
Of course, if you die in the arena like the lower league star match, you will be resurrected, but that didn’t matter.
In the end, the winning system receives dimensional privileges.
That was the biggest problem.
After all, it meant that some system would become stronger.
“That is a ridiculous proposition. Why such an irrational number all of a sudden…?”
“It is said that a game maker in a lower league made huge profits by leading the Star Wars to great success. Seeing that, the game makers in the top leagues got sick to their stomachs.”
hmm. I thought I knew why this happened.
Unlike the first round, this battle against the star system was a great success because of me.
However, since the main character who led the success just came up to a higher league, he must have wanted to take on the challenge as well.
But I shook my head.
“I will refuse.”
The level of the upper league is different from that of the lower league.
In particular, the moment you move on to the higher numbering, semi-high-level players are in full swing.
To fight those guys 1v100 or 1v200?
I have to do well before I saw it. It would have been nothing but a loss.
As long as it doesn’t give me a big advantage, there won’t be any interstellar competitions in higher leagues.
“all right. I’ll pass that on to game makers. Oh, should we do a random draw now?”
“yes. I think it’s time to get the 4th jockey.”
“Then let’s go pick it up right away!”
I went out into the clearing with Aserian.
Porodoel and Peanut El were already there.
It seemed to be to control the newcomers who would be confused.
“How about Ahn Woo-jin try this random draw?”
“hmm.”
“You’ve never done that before. To be honest, I’m also curious. An Woo-jin-nim, is he a golden hand or a dung hand?”
draw random
To be honest, I didn’t feel the urge to try it, probably because I’ve seen so many random draws since the first playthrough.
But I nodded at Aserian’s recommendation.
I was interested in the word that I was curious about whether it was a gold hand or a dung hand.
“All right. Let me try.”
[＜Miscellaneous Goods: Dice＞]
[This is an ordinary dice. It has no effect.]
[Rating: Normal]
[Price: 100 G]
I bought dice from a brokerage exchange and started rolling them.
I was thinking of doing a random draw after the same number came up three times in a row.
There was no particular reason.
just.
‘If you look at RPG games on Earth, it’s like this, and when the lucky timing came, something like reinforcement was done.’
It was, of course, an untested method.
In fact, it’s like superstition.
Even so, the reason why I do this is because it was a place to select valuable newcomers who would earn points for me in the future.
I wanted to proceed with a random drawing at the moment when I was even a little lucky.
If there are guys who are like names in the selection process, there will be a lot of points to come in later.
“What are you doing? By any chance, can I pick up a name if I do that?”
I shook my head at Aserian’s question.
“no. It’s just my own consciousness.”
“What kind of ceremony is it?”
“I wondered if there would be good results if I picked it when I was even a little lucky.”
Aserian nodded at my answer.
I realized what I was thinking when throwing the dice.
It was when the number 6, 6, 6 came out after tossing for a while.
“I will draw.”
I pressed the random draw button on the status window.
The number of new recruits was 52.
Tring!
[You did ＜Random Drawing＞.]
[You did ＜Random Drawing＞.]
[You did ＜Random Drawing＞.]
[You played ＜Random Drawing＞…]
Then, a white cloud of light began to appear in the clearing.
A farmer wearing a straw hat, a mercenary wearing leather armor, and an office worker wearing a suit appeared.
Like new recruits, everyone seemed confused.
“Hey, is this place…?”
“Is this the Colosseum…?”
“Angel! Great, what the hell!”
“Quiet, quiet!”
While Peanut El was controlling the noisy players, I checked my stats using the Devil’s Eye.
There was no such thing as ordinary people to check.
The level of the four rooms when you first entered.
That’s why the anticipation was slowly disappearing, but as I checked the stats of the people behind him in turn, my eyes widened.
‘June-named level!’
Tring!
[Check the opponent’s abilities.]
[Name: Mo Yongak]
[Disposition: Moderate]
[Muscle: 46] [Agility: 49] [Stamina: 44]
[Spirit: 47] [Intelligence: 19] [mana: 42]
[Awakening ability: ＜Superlative swordsmanship＞ ＜Advanced survival＞ ＜Intermediate mana management＞ ＜Intermediate martial arts＞]
[Check the opponent’s abilities.]
[Name: Goh Kun-ha]
[Alignment: Good]
[Strength: 51] [Agility: 42] [Stamina: 45]
[Spirit: 49] [Intelligence: 16] [Magic Power: 39]
[Awakening Ability: ＜Superlative Archery＞ ＜Advanced Living＞ ＜Advanced Mana Management＞ ＜Low Fighting Arts＞ ＜Low Healing＞]
In the random draw, two junior-named class members were selected.
The guys who just came in have higher stats than Chang-beom Chang, who is 9 months old.
Considering that it takes a thousand times to pick two or three people, it was a tremendous achievement.
“Hey, great.”
Aserian also opened his eyes wide as he checked the stats of Mo Yong-ak and Go Geon-ha.
The level was top-notch, and his stats were at the same level as Cale, who was participating in the co-main event.
‘If it’s raised well, it’s worth aiming for a higher league.’
You will have enough experience fighting for survival.
Of course, there will be some shortcomings, but we can fill them up in the future.
Since there were two junior-named class members, it was time to turn my head to check the rest of the stats, relieved.
‘crazy······!’
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I checked the stats of a woman wearing rag-like clothes with bright silver hair that made the surroundings feel bright.
[Check the opponent’s abilities.]
[Name: Cairosia Athanasine Von Quasar]
[Alignment: Faith]
[Strength: 3] [Agility: 4] [Stamina: 4]
[Spirit: 64] [Intelligence: 102] [Magical Power: 88]
[Awakening abilities: ＜Genius＞ ＜Elemental communication＞ ＜Advanced magic＞ ＜Super mana management＞ ＜High speed chanting＞ ＜Advanced healing＞ ＜Magic penetration＞]
The moment I looked at the status window, the back of my neck stiffened.
It felt like the hairs on my body were standing up.
what is this monster?
genius? Elemental mastery?
It was a similar shock to seeing Arwen’s stat window.
