“How was it today?” Hyeonu was comfortably talking to the viewers like it was his own stream .
The owner of the stream, Sunny, was already sitting down, half out of her mind . For six hours, Sunny had hunted while listening to Hyeonu’s relentless words . Hyeonu trained Sunny with the goal of her being able to hunt alone, even if he wasn’t confident about achieving it . The result was the current Sunny .
Hyeonu glanced at such a Sunny and proceeded casually . “I can see that Sunny isn’t answering . I think this is a positive . Do you all agree?”
-Isn’t this the answer?
-It is already a legendary video . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It seems to be a dark history for someone .
-Still, she did well on her own later . It works .
-It’s all Alley Leader’s doing . If he can’t fix it, then Sunny’s hunting content would be over . She would have to be a game channel MC . Why be a streamer?
The viewers all agreed . Recently, Sunny’s stream had never been as entertaining, with as many topics, as it was today .
“Then I’ll sort out this stream on Sunny’s behalf . The next streams will be broadcast tomorrow and on Tuesday . Probably . Meanwhile, my stream will start at 6 p . m . on Friday . Please watch it . Then I’ll see you next time!” Hyeonu finished with the closing statements .
Then Sunny ended the stream .
“The next time there is a chance, we should stream together one more time . I enjoyed today . ” Hyeonu said farewell to Sunny .
There might’ve been some conflicts during the stream, but they were exaggerated for the stream . In reality, she wasn’t offended at all . Sunny smiled and said to Hyeonu, “Yes, I’ll see you next time . I am grateful for today . ”
Cheong Chen slammed hard on the desk . The person watching this was worried about how hard he hit it . Unsurprisingly, blood started to drip from Cheong Chen’s hand . The moment Rudd saw it, he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Cheong Chen . “Here, General Manager-nim . ”

Cheong Chen naturally wiped his wound with Rudd’s handkerchief . “They dared to reject my offer?”
“It wasn’t exactly a rejection, more a provisional hold . They said it’s impossible right now . They have no idea where Alley Leader is . ”
Rudd’s answer caused Cheong Chen to be even more furious . “What are you saying? You can’t find a streamer who is streaming openly? Are you telling me to believe that bullshit?”
It was as Cheong Chen said . Alley Leader was a streamer and celebrity . This meant that no matter how well Alley Leader hid, his whereabouts would be revealed on the day of streaming . Additionally, dozens or even hundreds of people spotted Alley Leader a day . It could be said that Alley Leader’s whereabouts were always half-publicized .
“However, it’s hard to tell if the claimed sightings are real . I don’t think we should believe them since they’re not experts . ”
Of course, these sightings were always half and half . They were either real or fake . That’s why Rudd and Cheong Chen couldn’t do anything . The two people used Arena as a means of investment but didn’t put their lives into it . On the surface, they were sharp, but they were actually ignorant of the situation .
“That’s the problem . There is no way to figure it out if we don’t pay money . How can there be such an uneconomical business, Rudd?” Cheong Chen twisted the innocent handkerchief in a frustrated manner .
No matter how he thought about it, he still felt like he was being deceived . To think that they dared do this to Adidas’ general manager . . . Since that’s the case, he had to deal them a blow as well .
‘There is a saying that a presumptuous hunting dog needs a beating . ’
“I will report to the chairman and reduce the amount of support given to them . The reason is that their performance is sluggish . ”
Cheong Chen still had the power to do this much . It wasn’t that big a blow since it wasn’t official, but it was still a blow . He still had the power to cut off the breaths of the few gamers who didn’t follow orders .
“I have been informed that the amount of support will be significantly reduced from this month . To be exact, a notice came . There was no answer even when I asked again . I personally feel sorry,” Karen, the guild leader of the Venom Guild, said after gathering his guild members together . His expression was slightly stiff, with an apologetic gaze in his eyes .
It was natural . Adidas’ support was great and allowed them to invest all their time and effort into Arena . They didn’t completely rely on Adidas, but it was true that the amount Adidas gave them was huge .
“It was because of that decision, right? That jerk Cheong Chen must’ve cut the funding . That idiotic cheapskate . He doesn’t know anything except how to make money,” Rose grumbled .

Yet in her head, she was already thinking about the future . ‘It will be hard to raise the specs for the time being . It might be different if we find a few jackpot dungeons though . ’
The jackpot dungeons were hidden . It was unknown when they would show up, so there wasn’t any big income right now . They didn’t do streams, but that didn’t mean they could afford to sell their items . This was because they had gold and expensive items .
“Yes, we don’t blame you for the choice . We definitely talked about it for a long time . We have to be responsible for the aftermath of the outcome together . ” Crimson added to Rose’s words with a distorted expression .
Crimson was annoyed that Cheong Chen had reduced the funding, but it was just annoyance . Furthermore, the annoyance was never directed toward Karen . After all, they had all made the decision together . He couldn’t hold Karen, the leader, responsible .
“No, the decision was perfect . Did you see the other day? Didn’t you get goosebumps? Did it make sense for a player who only started playing Arena a few months ago to kill that monster? Additionally, in the Balder Mountains?” Rose shouted in an agitated manner .
They remembered what they had witnessed a few days ago .
It was the day when the Venom Guild members gathered once a week to explore the Balder Mountains . They stumbled upon Alley Leader hunting . Of course, they didn’t want to be caught by Alley Leader, so they stepped back and watched . It was with shock and horror .
The Venom Guild had to take a lot of risks when exploring in the Balder Mountains . They would pour out all of their skills and use a generous amount of potions when hunting a group of monsters . In other words, the current Balder Mountains was a place where only the top-ranking party, who boasted better cooperation than pro-gamers, could hunt .
Yet Alley Leader was sweeping through the Balder Mountains alone . The black pure energy rose, and the monster’s body was cut like a radish .
“It is crazy to catch a guy like that . Do you think we would be different? The monsters had their limbs sliced off in one blow . We will unconditionally die in one blow . It is like that for the fighters and tankers, let alone a priest,” Crimson said with a helpless expression .
It was crazy to face Alley Leader . In Crimson’s eyes, Alley Leader was already far away out of their reach . It was unlikely that they could fight one-on-one against him . Alley Leader was a monster beyond common sense .
“For the time being, we’ll have to tighten our belts . Be prepared,” Karen finished saying with a bitter expression .
Hyeonu looked at the ring like that creature from a certain movie . His eyes were full of greed, and his mouth moved relentlessly .
“This is the last item of the set—a unique set item . Unique . . . ”
Anyone who saw Hyeonu would obviously think he was a madman . The madness was visible from his back . Hyeonu soon placed the ring onto an empty finger on his left hand . Then a message window appeared in front of Hyeonu .

“This . . . ” Hyeonu lost his voice upon seeing the messages that showed absurd effects . The set had an enormous effect . All stats +100 was just a bonus . The important thing was Giant’s Symbol that followed . It increased his strength stat by 100% . This was the first time he had received such an increase to his strength stat .
Based on some simple calculations, it appeared as if the increase doubled his stat . However, this wasn’t actually the case . The stats that were raised through Arena’s skills weren’t displayed in the status window . No matter how many skills raised the stats, the stats written in the status window were the ones that became the standard .
In other words, stats were raised in proportion to the number in the status window . Considering everything, the strength stat would’ve risen by around 30 to 40% . Then . . .
“A rise in strength is equivalent to a rise in attack power,” Hyeonu said and turned his head with a satisfied smile .
His gaze was now directed toward Tang-E, a small teddy bear with golden fur . Hyeonu was looking at something that he hadn’t seen before on Tang-E’s body . The item had only appeared recently . It was a white bone tooth necklace . At first glance, it was a necklace that resembled the Symbol of the Meadow that Dakan had given Hyeonu .
‘When did he start to wear this?’
“Where did you get that?” Hyeonu pointed at the necklace hanging around Tang-E’s neck and wondered .
Tang-E seemed a bit flustered by Hyeonu’s sudden question, but he still replied in his usual harsh tone . “I picked it up on Bung Bung Island . It seems cool, so I’ve been wearing it for some time . Why? Do you want it?”
Hyeonu waved his hand at Tang-E’s words . “Where would I use such a thing? I have too much already, so you wear it . ”
It might be a unique rated item, but Hyeonu didn’t covet it at all . After all, it was much better to have the current Mysterious Sky Guardian that he was wearing . Additionally, Hyeonu previously had no idea that his pet could wear items . Thus, it was easy for him to be fooled .
“I know, Master dude . ” Tang-E was glad that Hyeonu didn’t seem to care much . ‘He will take it away if he knows I picked it up in a dungeon . Damn Master dude . ’
The necklace hanging around Tang-E’s neck was the necklace that Chroma, the fallen shaman, had dropped . Tang-E had picked it up and placed it in his Subspace when Hyeonu was talking to Floyd .
