Chapter 111
Apart from the rapidly flowing development of the fifth main scenario, Hyeonu was also faithful to his role as a streamer . He worked with Nike to pick a second Alley Leader Academy student .
“So according to Mister Gang’s words, just pick a completely ordinary player? Is this the right thing to do?” Kale asked again with an expression of confusion . However, that didn’t change the answer .
-Yes, this is what I want—an ordinary person’s success story .
In Arena, Dwayne was a type of second-generation chaebol . His items and skills were good . Moreover, he had a good class . If it had been someone else, Hyeonu would likely have been cursed at a lot . He thought the good result was due to Dwayne’s personal behavior .
Kale opened his mouth and said, “Of course, you can choose anyone . However, once that happens, the stream will become less interesting and fun . That is a clear fact . ”
-NO! That won’t happen . Rather, it will rise even more . Definitely . I guarantee it .
You still don’t seem to understand it well . The other day, only celebrities were able to participate . This time, the academy will be for the lower 90% . It doesn’t matter if they don’t have good items, good skills, strength, or money . The academy is open to anyone in the bottom 90% . That is the concept of this academy .
Hyeonu’s resolute words made Kale and the staff of the planning office stay quiet . It sounded much better than their own plans .
“Just do as he says . . . The target audience is perfect . Everyone can see it . We won’t lose to any of the other Arena programs in terms of ratings . ”
“Honestly, I wonder why we’re here . Speaking frankly, we can’t beat Alley Leader . ”
“I know my content best but . . . ”
Voices emerged with words of self-mockery . Nike’s role was small . They felt that Alley Leader alone was enough . Kale sent a gesture to cheer up his staff and wrapped up his call to Hyeonu . “I understand . I will go with Mister Gang’s opinion . Please send us the details by email, and I will contact you again after reviewing them .
-Thank you, Kale . I’ll send you an email soon .
Kale put down the phone and clapped . Clap clap .
“From now on, we will have our own meeting . Mister Gang has set the whole framework . It is our turn . We need to create the details . ”
Nike was busy again .
“Go see Suped again . Tell him that we have found Alkyl’s base and ask him to join us as soon as possible . ” Garon gave Hyeonu a quest .
This was a case that occurred once Mascherano found Alkyl’s main base . Hyeonu just sat still, carrying out quests and sucking up experience .
‘Groan . . . Good . ’
“I’ll be back soon . ”
[A quest has been created . ]
[To Suped]
[The base of Alkyl has been found .
Let Suped know this and ask him to quickly join .

‘I have to go back to Laek once anyway . . . ’
“It’s great . ”
Hyeonu thought that things had worked out well . He had to find Suped anyway . So, he just had to go there . Hyeonu tore one of the five scrolls that Suped had given him .
“What is going on?” Suped greeted Hyeonu with the same blunt attitude as when they first met .
Hyeony was also unconcerned with Suped’s greeting . “It has been a while . Things have changed urgently . ”
“Changed urgently?”
“Alkyl’s base has been found . An accurate map is being made by adventurers . Garon asked you to join . ”
“Hmm . . . Is this the only reason why you came?”
‘You’re a ghastly old man . ’ Hyeonu smiled bitterly at Suped’s words .
“It is for a dual purpose . I wanted to convey the news and do something . By the way, has Laek’s Stage 10 recovered?”
Hyeonu didn’t show it on the surface . Rather, he drove Suped into the corner . However, who was Suped? He was a great magician of the empire . “Laek’s Stage 10 has recovered . You didn’t know because you didn’t come . ”
Hyeonu didn’t respond to Suped’s arrogance . His mind was only filled with Stage 10 . In the meantime, Hyeonu calmly completed the quest . “I will hear your answer first before challenging Stage 10 . ”
“Tell him I’ll come soon . Laek’s recovery is over, and my research is complete . I will help him deal with them . ”
[Suped’s answer 1/1 . ]
[The ‘To Suped’ quest has been cleared . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
‘The amount of experience is great . ’
Hyeonu smiled at the experience that rose instantly . This was why it was called the main scenario .
[A quest has been created . ]
[To Garon]
[Go back to Garon with Suped’s answer .

‘I have to grab everything . . . ’
“Where should I go to clear Stage 10?”
“There is no need . I’ll send you . ”
Once Suped clapped, Hyeonu disappeared from the laboratory . He moved Hyeonu to the space to challenge Stage 10 with one clap .
“You might’ve broken through Laek like a monster but, Stage 10 won’t be so easy . ”
Suped imagined Hyeonu going to Stage 10 and meeting a monster .
‘The last play should suffice . ’
Suped lowered his hand as he smiled widely . It was an obvious laugh . “A monster will encounter a monster . Who will win? How interesting . ”
-Welcome to Stage 10 . Stage 10 is to go beyond your limits .
If you pass Stage 10, you will receive a certificate of completion .
‘Going beyond my limits?’ Hyeonu thought calmly .
Transcending his own limits…
These words were tremendous . Even so, this was Arena . It was a game . Transcending your limits in a game—Hyeonu already knew what it meant .
“A doppelganger . . . or a clone . It is one of these two options . ”
It was obvious within the framework of the game . A voice rang out confirming Hyeonu’s speculation .
-Shout ‘start’ to begin the Stage 10 test, and the duel with your doppelganger will begin .
‘The rules behind this are already widespread . ’
It was clear that the doppelganger was probably a slightly improved form based on Hyeonu’s character data . However, some data couldn’t be copied . This was the cheat key to solving this problem . The cheat key was usually a truly unique item that appeared in the second half of the game . Items that couldn’t be copied . It was winning with an item that could not be used by the doppelganger . For Hyeonu, it wasn’t an item but one thing that couldn’t be copied .
“Tang-E, come out . ”
It was Tang-E . Tang-E was such a pet . He was a named NPC that existed before Hyeonu summoned him from a random pet egg . The title of ‘Bung Bung Island’s Heir’ was the proof .
“Why call me, Master dude?”
Tang-E was consistent with his poor attitude . In fact, it felt worse these days . Seeing this, Hyeonu felt that he should give Tang-E a gift . It was a gift that Tang-E would be satisfied with .
“Tang-E, do you want to hit me?”
Tang-E struggled to answer . In his heart, he had already slapped his master several times . However, it was impossible in reality, so he had put up with it . His stingy and vengeful master would use this to torture him for months if he replied positively . “No . Why would I want to hit Master dude?”
Eventually, Tang-E shook his head . He was convinced of reality, but he couldn’t stop his expression from becoming slightly sullen . Hyeonu smiled as he watched such a Tang-E . ‘Cute guy . ’
“I’ll let you hit me . Time and time again . ”
Was it unexpected? Hyeonu’s words were terrifying as Tang-E’s eyes widened . Tang-E asked again, “Really? Really? Master dude?”
“It isn’t really me, but it looks the same . Think of it as me, and beat me up . ”
“Thank you . Thank you, Master dude . I will do well in the future . ” Tang-E wept emotionally .
Hyeonu smiled bitterly when he saw this .
‘Is it that good? Damn bear . ’
“Then give me buffs first, and fight when my doppelganger comes out . ”
“I know . Doppelganger . . . hehe . . . ”
[You have received Bear’s Momentum . ]
[Physique has increased . ]
[Strength has increased . ]
[You have received the Forest’s Blessing . ]
[Physique has increased . ]
[Health will continue to recover . ]
Hyeonu saw the buffs and immediately used his giant skills .
“Start . ”
Around 10 meters away from Hyeonu, a doppelganger that looked exactly like Hyeonu appeared .
“Die . Kill it by burning or kill it by freezing,” Tang-E muttered with a crazy expression as he faced the doppelganger .
Tang-E already seemed half out of his mind . His eyes were white, and fire, ice, and lightning covered his body . Tang-E used Giant Transformation and charged toward the doppelganger . Hyeonu didn’t move . Only Tang-E rushed toward the doppelganger .
‘Enjoy the majesty of your master, stupid bear . ’
Hyeonu was convinced that Tang-E would be out in 5 minutes . He knew better than anyone that his doppelganger could never be killed by Tang-E .
‘You have to face me before knowing to be scared . ’
Hyeonu had already seen the future . It was Tang-E holding onto his legs and crying . Indeed, it was like he expected . Eventually, Tang-E was thrown back by the doppelganger’s fist and fell at Hyeonu’s feet . Tang-E’s body was covered with wounds . “Master dude . . . why am only I fighting? Shouldn’t you be helping me?”
Hyeonu responded to Tang-E’s words naturally, “Your momentum was so great . . . I thought it would be enough for you alone . ”
“I don’t think it is possible, Master dude . I will support you from behind . ”
“Yes . Use your magic well . Please restrain your fire,” Hyeonu gave Tang-E new orders and then walked toward the doppelganger .
Hyeonu hadn’t simply been watching the battle between Tang-E and the doppelganger with folded arms . He had been observing calmly . The doppelganger used possessed skills and skills that were built into items . He didn’t let go of a single thing .
‘Considering that he wasn’t pushed by Tang-E’s strength, he must’ve used one of the giant skills . . . ’
“Five minutes have passed . ”
This meant the doppelganger had only one giant skill left while Hyeonu had two giant skills left . Additionally, the doppelganger didn’t have Tang-E’s buffs . It was an overwhelming dominance in power . Finally, once Hyeonu and the doppelganger were only 10 meters away from each other, the doppelganger moved .
“Haap!”
Laek’s last gate, Stage 10 began in earnest .
