-Wow, I didn’t expect him to turn it on today?
-Look at this person above . I saw you insulting Alley Leader in another room .
-Gasp, that wasn’t me .
-Leader Groupie has gifted you 333 gold coins .
-Leader Has Come Back has gifted you 444 gold coins .
“Everyone, I’m back after a long break . Thank you Leader Group for the 333 gold coins and Leader Has Come Back for the 444 gold coins . Sorry for coming late . ” Hyeonu reacted like this as he caught the gold coins that appeared during his opening remarks .
-No, you’re welcome . . .
-Why are you only here now? You should’ve come on Monday .
-Shut your mouth . I wished that Alley Leader would come .
-I’m so grateful you turned on the streaming mode .
“Everyone, I actually wanted to stream on Monday . However, I slept on Sunday night and woke up on Tuesday morning . Sorry . ” Hyeonu bowed 90 degrees and apologized .
It was just that none of the viewers accepted Hyeonu’s apology . Rather, they mocked him .
-Just admit it cleanly . You wanted to rest .
-You’re already here, so it is useless now .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is our Leader-nim apologizing?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yes, yes . I know it well . Bring out Tang-E quickly . Tang-E, haha .
-Tang-E, come out . . . Bring him out . Haha .
Then they found Tang-E . For the viewers, Hyeonu didn’t exist anymore . The important thing was Tang-E . It was only Tang-E .
“Yes, the Tang-E you desire is here . Free free to take a look . After a while, he will go out and smash all the pets . ”
With bright golden fur, red cheeks, and a cute blue tail, Tang-E boasted a cute figure that anyone would fall for if they saw it .
“Master dude, will you really give me the essence if I fight and win? Really?” Tang-E was undaunted by Hyeonu’s introduction and grabbed Hyeonu’s collar .
“Yes, you will get the essence if you win against the other pets . Don’t you trust your master? I’ve already fed you a few essences . Can’t you trust me?”
-He has already been fed essences?
-What is an essence?
-An essence is for eating .
-So what is an essence?

-I want to eat it!!
-No, so what is the effect?
-It raises the pet’s stats . If you’re lucky, skills or a race change will be gained . I haven’t seen such cases yet though .
-Then how many did Tang-E eat?
Few viewers knew about the essences . The viewers knew about the essence because it was a reward for the pet events, but they didn’t know what it was . In such a situation, Hyeonu had already fed several essences to Tang-E . The viewers who actually knew about the essence couldn’t help being surprised .
“Oh, the viewers don’t know?”
-What is it?
-What don’t we know?
-What? How to win? I don’t know that .
-Teach me quickly . Don’t joke around .
Hyeonu, who had been arguing with Tang-E, threw a stone at the audience . The viewers who had been watching Hyeonu and Tang-E’s gag were curious about Hyeonu’s words .
“During the time when I applied for the event, I heard there were very few participants . Around 30 people? There is a chance it might not be even that many people . There are many reasons for this, but I’ll give you a quick explanation . It is because there are few people who have pets, the rankers who have pets aren’t participating, and those who aren’t confident in their pets didn’t apply . I think this is why the number of participants is so small . ”
-In any case, first place is Tang-E .
-Tang-E .
-We’re here to see Tang-E . Not interested in the rest .
-Yes, perhaps if Reina came out . . . Hah, Reina is the best . . .
The viewers didn’t care about this . All they wanted was to see Tang-E, not some other pets .
“Well, I’m sure everyone is the same . Yes, yes . Tang-E will work hard . ” Hyeonu sneered at such viewers .
-Leader Groupie has gifted you 1004 gold coins .
-Have Strength Leader has gifted you 666 gold coins .
“Oh, my . Thank you Leader Groupie and Have Strength Leader for the gold coins . Here is a small Tang-E show! How cute is he?”
However, Hyeonu’s attitude collapsed helplessly in front of the gold coins .

Finally, time passed, and it was time for the world’s best pet event to begin . The number of pets that participated was 32 . It was a tournament format, so victory would be attained as long as five matches were won .
“You only have to win five times . In fact, it doesn’t matter to me if you win or lose . Isn’t it an essence for Tang-E to eat anyway?”
Hyeonu smiled . It was true . There was no penalty for Hyeonu if Tang-E didn’t win the world’s best pet event . The penalty was only for Tang-E . He wouldn’t be able to eat the essences . For Tang-E, the essences were more than just stats .
“This is a heavenly taste, Master dude . ”
For a pet, the essences were a delicacy . This was the essence .
“So fight hard, Tang-E . ” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head . In reaction to Hyeonu’s actions, Tang-E was silent . He was already sold due to the essence .
‘Essence . . . Essence… It’s so good . ’ Tang-E smiled brightly, and all the viewers reacted .
-Ugh . . . My heart . . .
-Someone buy me Tang-E!
-I’m not going to watch anymore . I’m going to buy a pet egg!
-You still won’t be able to get Tang-E .
As everyone enjoyed the festival, a soft voice rang through the entire event field . -Hello everyone . I’m Sunny, the host in charge of this pet festival! After a while, the world’s best pet event will start, so all players please move to the waiting room!
The event field looked like a huge football field . The only difference was that it was 10 times larger than a normal football field . It could accommodate hundreds of thousands of players . This was possible because a player’s vision was superior to a human’s sight in reality .
“I have to go to the waiting room . Let’s go . ”
-Everyone, who will come out?
-Let’s see . . . are there any celebrities with pets?
-Are there any pet-related classes?
-ㅇㅇ . It is said after Alley Leader appeared, many rankers started raising pets, but so far . . .
-Who cares about who will appear? We have Tang-E!!!
By the time Hyeonu arrived at the waiting room, everyone except for Hyeonu had already arrived .
“Wow, it is really Tang-E . ”
“He is actually cuter in person . ”
“Alley Leader, can I touch Tang-E once?”
All of them rushed toward Hyeonu . Their goal was Tang-E . Since all of them were interested in pets, Hyeonu was like an old man in the back room .
“Um . . . That . . . ” Hyeonu was trying to answer them when Sunny appeared .
“From now on, the bracket will be decided . Draw these beads one by one . ” Sunny showed a glass bead the size of an egg .

The 32 participants all received a glass bead, and Sunny resumed her explanation .
“Once you add magic power to the beads, a color will become visible . There are a total of 16 colors . You should already know that people of the same color will fight each other, yes? This process is repeated up to the top 4 . Then everyone, give it a try . ”
At the end of Sunny’s words, all participants held the beads and started to infuse magic power . It wasn’t easy to see the color of the beads . They had to insert a lot of magic power . Understandably, the first person to bring out the color of the bead was Hyeonu .
“Purple?”
The color of Hyeonu’s bead was purple . Simultaneously, the hearts of the remaining 31 people started to pound . Everyone prayed that purple wouldn’t come out .
“It’s blue!!!”
“I’m red!”
They succeeded in seeing the color of the glass beads one by one . Meanwhile, the protagonist of the purple bead appeared .
“No . . . ” The purple protagonist shook the moment he saw the purple glass bead that appeared .
‘I have to surrender . Mikey can’t beat Tang-E . ’
Pring, the owner of the golden-maned wolf Mikey, decided to give up on the world’s best pet event .
‘There is nothing worse for Mikey then being struck by lightning . ’
This was lightning, not anything else . It was lightning that hurt bosses above level 100 . If it hit Mikey who was only level 80, then the result was known without even looking . Pring approached Sunny and said in a low voice, “I will surrender . ”
“Are you really surrendering? There is no next time, Mr . Pring,” Sunny questioned .
However, Pring just nodded .
“I understand . Then Alley Leader is free to enjoy the festival until the draw for the round of 16 . ”
“I understand,” Hyeonu replied with a trembling voice . Surrendering was unexpected .
‘Tang-E looks too scary . ’
“Audience members, the opponent gave up, so I’m just sucking my fingers until the round of 16 . Sorry . ”
Hyeonu did nothing wrong, but he apologized . Yet the viewers chatted like they expected Pring’s response .
-This is normal . They would be crazy to fight Tang-E .
-Why feel sorry? The opponent is the one who surrendered .
-I would surrender too if Tang-E was my opponent . It is terrible to think of my pet being struck by lightning or caught on fire . It is terrible .
-Seriously, he will probably win the event by default without any fighting .
Hyeonu laughed at the nonsense that one viewer mentioned of winning without fighting . He was dumbfounded .
Winning by default . . .
It was unheard of .
“The winner of the world’s best pet event is Alley Leader’s pet, Tang-E!” Sunny shouted in a loud voice .
People’s reactions were the same . It was a win by default . A ridiculous scene was happening before Hyeonu’s eyes . Why did this absurd result of winning by default emerge? The reason was simple . Tang-E was overwhelming, and the rest of the participants were rational .
The average level of the pets participating in the event was 85 . Tang-E’s current level was 115 . Of course, the other players didn’t know Tang-E’s level . All they knew was that Tang-E had used a variety of magic to deal with monsters over level 100 . The problem was that they were already afraid . How could a level 85 pet be hit by lightning that even a level 100 boss monster couldn’t withstand? It was terrible just imagining it .
Therefore, everyone who met Hyeonu surrendered .
“I really won by default . It feels a bit hollow . It is bittersweet . ”
It was a chance to show off Tang-E’s combat style, but this opportunity had flown away .
-What did I say? Didn’t I say they would all surrender?
-Really . Are you a shaman? I’m amazed .
-Please let me have a girlfriend?
-Don’t ask me for that because it won’t happen .
-Look at this winter squash . ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
-Still, it is regrettable . I didn’t get to see Tang-E fighting .
-That’s a bit disappointing .
Hyeonu and the viewers were unable to control their sense of emptiness . Then Hyeonu’s heart once again burned .
-After a while, the pet contest will begin! All participants are encouraged to come to the waiting room!
‘This time, it is really Tang-E’s show . ’
Hyeonu clenched his fists .
