NOVEL NEXT Chapter 478
[Bu-hwang finally wins, lol]
(Scene where Rain’s spear breaks)
How the hell did you win, you bastard? LOL
– For real, how did that happen?? LOL
– You’re crazier than Lu Bu, LOL
– This kid is just a legendary general for sure, LOL
[Miro always blabbing about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms]
I knew he was a fan, but he’s just a crazy local at this point.
– For real, LOL
– I honestly don’t know what I just witnessed, LOL
– For real, why is this guy a VTuber? LOL
– What a madman, LOL
[Ultimately, it’s these guys that make it fun. Big up! LOL]
(Fan art of Miro, Anna, Loa)
The three main players from the first generation really show a difference, LOL
– For real
– Pure fun in the Celestial Realm, LOL
– How did Loa and Anna manage to absorb it first? LOL
[Rain did well too, for real]
He was really flying around in Hebei, but he couldn’t keep up with Miro.
– For real, he did well even without showing up on Miro’s stream, LOL
– Eating Hebei was also fun.
– Even with a lot of people, Rain struggled to push through.
Guess Miro dancing with a sword in front of him was a big deal.
– For real, Miro is a crazy guy.
[I’m from the coalition army, by the way]
(Proof of the coalition army)
I thought Maho would be a great fighter, like a strong general, but damn, I got wiped out in three rounds against Miro, LOL
– Miro is a beast, LOL
– Maho also performed well, LOL
– Miro’s dueling is no joke, LOL
[I’m from Anna’s army, but how did we lose? LOL]
(Proof of defense at Horo-gwan)
(Proof of defense at Luoyang Castle)
(Proof of defensive formation)
I’m Anna’s army and survived from start to finish, but I still don’t understand how we lost, LOL
I feel like we just kept blocking but ended up losing it all, and suddenly, we were winning, LOL
– How the hell did you survive, you bastard? LOL
– The White-faced Old Man is right there.
– Did we really defend over there?
– Yeah, just wildly swinging my weapon without thinking. LOL
– It’s lucky you met a good master, huh?
– For real.
– How is the master Miro’s lackey? LOL
– Calling Miro a lackey is absurd, LOL
– But still, our Anna did contribute…
[Miro’s ridiculous reasons…]
(Miro deflecting arrows)
(Miro capturing Maho in three rounds)
(Miro breaking through while riding a horse)
Let’s put aside his leadership, his martial prowess is just insane, LOL
He’s basically Lu Bu.
– Lu Bu couldn’t even do that, LOL
– This kid is indeed a war god.
– Deflecting arrows is a veteran’s skill; how can Miro do it? LOL
– Miro practices hardcore before starting, LOL
[Miro’s practice is definitely worthwhile, LOL]
I sometimes wondered what the point of dueling practice and tactical planning was, but it’s really useful.
– For real!
– Using tactical commands is seriously solid, LOL
– Honestly, if he hadn’t practiced, he might have lost against Anna.
– For real, that was the biggest crisis, LOL
[Miro’s collection of commands]
Breakthrough <— Literally means charge. Net <— Tying up enemy soldiers, essentially means Miro plans to charge alone. Refining <— The keyword for the hammer and anvil. Trap <— Intentionally creating gaps to lure enemies in. Decapitation <— Cutting off opponents from behind. There were probably more, but I only brought the most memorable ones. - Wow, this actually sounds tactical. LOL - The net command is super cool, yay... - For real, it’s basically a declaration of wanting to duel. - Simple yet effective, LOL - I must’ve searched for famous tactics when making this, LOL [Miro's tactics are kinda trash too, LOL] Looking back now, it’s basically a hammer and anvil one-trick, but the opponents all fell for it. In the end, if the coalition had prepared against Loa, they would’ve won. - It’s a rice bowl tactic, LOL - It’s not easy to split the already weak forces for hammer and anvil. - For real, they barely had forces as it was. - Who would have imagined that Loa would be behind them? LOL [Reasons why the coalition didn't think Loa would be behind them...] (Compass drawn on the map showing Loa's path) Loa took the longest route to get back, LOL; she shouldn't have had to be behind, LOL! - Wow, LOL - That’s some crazy stuff. - Why so convoluted? LOL - There was no other way, so it couldn't be helped, LOL. - She really went to great lengths, LOL [Miro actually getting lucky capturing Loa first] Seeing Loa's skills, if she had met anyone other than Miro, she would’ve ended up like Rain. - For real, Loa was really good, LOL. - She was the most active member of Miro's team, LOL. - Miro wasn’t just treating her casually, LOL. [These unexpected likable guys from the recent collab...] (An-Liang and Moon-Chu photos) Right here are An-Liang and Moon-Chu <—— These guys definitely contributed, LOL. - Just their names alone are satisfying, LOL. - Anna's right-hand men, LOL. - It felt a bit sad when they sacrificed themselves, LOL. - For real... - Strangely endearing characters... [Recap of the recent collab with Miro...] (Merger of Jin-gung's head, Lu Bu's limbs, and Chosun's figure) Having the head of Jin-gung, strength of Lu Bu, and looks of Chosun, yay... - Damn, that’s creepy! - This pic is hilarious! LOL - But for real, he looks just like that! LOL - Just a skilled duelist, LOL. - That’s some high praise, LOL. - The defensive formation was truly on point! [But let's put Miro aside for now] Why are the other members so captivated? LOL Do they also like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? - Might not know about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms but they've definitely spread the Civilization game around. - It’s popular these days, LOL. - They were just WWE fans, but by mid-game, they were totally into it, LOL. - Given the scale, it’s understandable, LOL. How many people are there? - I’d probably experience a dopamine rush if I were leading hundreds into battle! LOL [By the way, is Miro filming a new drama?] Isn’t it supposed to be a war-themed drama? That’s why they must be researching tactics, yay! - Oh. - Is that so? - Why would Miro film a war-themed drama? LOL - For real, that’s a point. LOL. - There aren’t any fitting roles for her. - I doubt Miro would play games related to drama filming! LOL - Why not? LOL - If that’s the case, they should start with zombie stuff first. - Oh, that’s true. - They have been playing zombie games for a long time, LOL. - I definitely think Miro should do a war-themed drama! LOL. - What about a Romance of the Three Kingdoms movie? - That'll likely come from China. - What? - That's a big export opportunity. - I could see Miro's face getting a lot of attention in China, LOL. - She’d be a true Chosun, for sure! - If she comes out as Chosun, she’d really blow up! LOL ** A few days after the large-scale collab in the Celestial Realm... “Ah, you’re here?” “It’s been a while, Manager.” “Please come inside.” Today, I arrived at The Six Headquarters for a meeting regarding the end-of-year concert in the Celestial Realm. It feels like it’s been ages since I last visited the HQ. When was the last time? I can hardly remember. I used to come here often while preparing for my solo concert, but since then, I haven't had a reason to drop by. “Everyone is already here.” “All of them?” “More than half are here, I think.” “Oh, I see.” Following the Manager, we headed deeper into the studio, revealing the familiar meeting room. More than half, huh? Honestly, it makes me a bit anxious. After all, it's the first time all generations are gathering like this. “Oh! Soo-hyun is here.” “Take a seat!” “Wow! This is the first time seeing you for real!” “Wow, senior...!” ...Is this really suitable for a meeting? As I saw the meeting room getting packed already, even though not everyone was there yet, I said, “Aren’t we supposed to move?” “...We are already preparing a larger meeting room upstairs.” Right, this place won’t work. With over 20 members just from the Celestial Realm, adding in the staff and manager would make it around 30. That’s already more than your average classroom size nowadays, so it would definitely burst in the existing meeting room. Well, anyway... “...Hello, everyone.” I greeted the crowd and took my seat in the only empty spot amidst the already crowded room. “Wow, senior, you’re even prettier in real life!” “Whoa... it feels like seeing a celebrity.” “...I am technically a celebrity.” “What?” A celebrity vibe? Of course, that’s true. A person of my caliber is undeniably an outstanding celebrity, isn’t it? I just did a drama filming yesterday too. “If you need an autograph or a photo, just let me know anytime.” I lifted my sunglasses above my hat and said this nonchalantly. “Oh wow....” “It's just too cool!” “C-can I share this on broadcast?” “...Just say I was pretty, okay?” Taking a photo together isn’t bad, but asking for an autograph seems a bit much, doesn’t it? It’s not like I’m openly promoting Miro as a celebrity on broadcast... “Seeing you like this, Soo-hyun, you really have become a celebrity.” “You are both a celebrity and a military god of the Celestial Realm.” “...Do you say things like that in real life?” “What? What’s wrong with that?” “Just feels like a complete disconnect.” “How imprudent…” The lord of the continent is undoubtedly due to my accomplishments. However, both Anna and the other juniors glanced at me with strange expressions, so I decided to keep my mouth shut. ...To be honest, it’s a bit hurtful. I should’ve just stayed quiet instead of saying something like military god. "Ahahaha... you are indeed a military god, huh?" "You were actually amazing back then." "Where do you get such physicality from...?" Anyway, after that, I casually accepted the endless handshake requests from the juniors and waited. “Let’s move everyone!” I wondered how long we’d have to stay in this quite crowded meeting room. Thankfully, they quickly prepared the larger room upstairs, allowing us to move. “Alright, everyone sit down....” “When will Loa be here...? Oh, she just arrived.” “Is there a chair for me here....?” “I’ll switch it out for you in a moment!” With so many people, the moving process turned out to be quite noisy. “Well, are we all set?” Once the members that hadn’t come showed up as well, we were ready to begin the meeting. “First, everyone please look at this.” Once the meeting commenced, the Manager distributed printed sheets to all the Celestial Realm members. It felt quite familiar, like we were here for a script reading. I guess we'd have to read it one by one. Well, this isn’t a script but rather the rough outline for the concert, but still. “Hmm... this is quite systematic, isn’t it?” What’s more surprising is just how well-structured it is. I was a bit taken aback. Was it like this before? “...Of course, since it's handled by a company.” “Was it like this before?” “Not really...” I thought so. It was expected, really. In comparison to before, the resources invested in The Six towards the Celestial Realm are different. Just looking at the number of people, it’s clear the Manager is now a team leader, so a significant investment was made. Well, ultimately good things are good things. Looking at the sheet, it seems they’ve included everything from practice schedules to song recommendation lists. “So lessons are mainly geared towards the 3rd and 4th generation?” “Yes, the 1st generation members have already done quite a lot, and the 2nd generation members have also prepared to some extent.” We may be fine, but did they really prepare for the 2nd generation? Well, it seems they prepared for 2nd generation too, given their debut time was after the first-generation year-end live, they might have caught the idol craze. Sure, they seem to have completely shifted their direction now. In any case, as I kept reviewing the schedule... “Hmmm...” “What’s wrong, Miro?” “Well…” The end-of-year live date written here seems somewhat familiar. It doesn’t look like it will clash with the drama filming I’m currently doing, but what date was it? “Do you have any prior scheduling?” “No, I don’t have anything lined up.” Well, fortunately, it seems I’m alright schedule-wise. Plus, they really are keeping a keen eye on my schedule, I must say. Well, I’d still carry a degree of weight since I’m participating. A certified military god of the Celestial Realm, after all. Hehe, it seems the title has solidified due to that collab a few days ago, and I’m really happy about that. "Shall we proceed with the schedule as planned then?" "Yes, I’m fine with that." "Then let’s start with the practice schedule...." Anyway, we wrapped up that day’s meeting, finalizing the practice schedules and performance dates, as well as the overall plan for the concert.
