Chapter 158
-Hiiik? Tang-E is fighting?
-Alley Leader, please protect Tang-E’s dignity!
-Even if you don’t have new content, why sacrifice Tang-E?
-Still, isn’t Tang-E’s level very high? Most of those in the pet arena are just raising their pets . . .
-In a good sense, the pet is like the owner . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers were very interested in Hyeonu’s words . The pet arena—some streamers had challenged it . However, the results had been devastating . Pets who had just been summoned couldn’t beat pets who had been raised . Tang-E had won the title of the best pet in the world . Now he was running to participate in the pet arena .
“Tang-E is probably stronger than most of the viewers here . No, he is . Tang-E is extremely powerful . ”
Hyeonu took the matter for granted, but the viewers were upset by his words . He thought it was natural . After all, the viewers didn’t know about Tang-E’s level or his second awakening . To the audience, Tang-E was just a good buffer and a very cute pet .
-Yes, I’m sure he is .
-No matter what, Tang-E takes after his master .
-If Alley Leader raised a pet in reality, it would be a dog or cat like this . ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
-That doesn’t matter . The important thing is for Tang-E to stream for a long time today .
-Right . That’s what matters . Everything else is irrelevant . Our Tang-E is coming out . So what about winning or losing?
The viewers were already focusing on Tang-E . All their attention was on Tang-E . There were the occasionally bent ears and silly giggles that kept viewers from shifting their attention away .
“Viewers, don’t you have pets? Don’t like Tang-E too much . How about raising your own pet from an egg? Of course, you won’t get a pet like Tang-E . ”
-I’ve already tried it and was ruined .
-I was also screwed, but my pet is still pretty cute .
-Once you get a pet, you will receive feelings of affection you’ve never had before .
-I got something like a golem . It feels like I’m showing off a large SVU while others are riding a sports car .
‘There are many nice people . ’
Hyeonu smiled as he looked at the chat window . There were all types of comments . The common thing was that no matter what their pet looked like, they cherished it .
-In fact, I think that our pets will be better after their awakening .
. . . Even if their intentions were somewhat impure .
“Tang-E, you have to fight weakly as I explained earlier . Do you understand? Use the minimum of magic power and rely on your punches . ”
“Understood, Master dude . ”
Before starting the pet ranking battles, Hyeonu gave Tang-E a new challenge . Due to the level difference between Tang-E and regular pets, this was the same as when Hyeonu streamed to obtain a gold medal . It might be different if he wasn’t streaming, but there was no need to be brutally overwhelming during the stream . Just winning would be enough .
Tang-E spat on his paws and slammed them together .
Bang!
“Where did you learn such a strange thing? Don’t do it later on . ” Hyeonu frowned and hit Tang-E’s forehead .
[The pet ranking battle has started . ]
[You haven’t entered the rankings yet . ]
[Starting the placement match to enter the rankings . ]
The pet ranking battle wasn’t only about pets going to the arena . Just like coaches in boxing and martial arts, players were positioned on the edge while pets fought on the central stage . Due to these rules, Hyeonu’s stream had attractions other than the fight . The player who owned the pet matched with Tang-E approached Hyeonu and asked, “Oh, it is Alley Leader . I’m really a fan . Can you take a photo with me just once?”
“Huh? A photo?” For a moment, Hyeonu wondered if this was a tactic only used within pet arena .
The player would distract the opponent while their pet would use the prepared strategy .
‘However, his face is telling me that this is real . ’
The opponent was sincerely happy . It was like an excited child showing something off to his friends .
“Sure, I’ll take a photo with you . It isn’t something difficult . ”
While Hyeonu was taking a photo with his opponent, Tang-E was looking at the small wolf in front of him .
“Hey, come over here . Quickly . ” Tang-E made a proud gesture with his short legs . “Do you think I’m funny too?”
Tang-E saw that the little wolf didn’t intend to move and acted . As if using Blink, Tang-E appeared in front of the wolf and swung his paws .
“Yiip!” A pitiful scream emerged from the wolf’s mouth .
The wolf took a blow unaware and was unable to come to its senses . Tang-E struck without any force . It was just a touch, but for the little wolf, the pain was like being hit by a rock . As Tang-E returned to his original position, he ordered the little wolf again, “Hey, sit down . ”
The young wolf realized something through the excruciating pain . It would be less painful to obey the words of the monster in front of him .
“Pant pant . ” The young wolf accepted reality and dropped his ass to the ground according to Tang-E’s order .
It was natural for the wolf to smile brightly . Tang-E stroked the wolf’s head with a small paw and gave another order . “Well done . Then lie down this time . ”
The young wolf moved desperately . He lay down if Tang-E told him to lay down and crawled if told to crawl . This continued until Hyeonu shifted his attention from the other player .
“Eh? What is this?” Hyeonu rubbed his eyes like he couldn’t believe the scene in front of him . Of course, he was wearing a mask, so it was a very amusing sight . It was a slapstick comedy reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s only seeing it now . Sigh .
-Tang-E has been doing that since the beginning . How does Alley Leader normally teach him?
-Is Tang-E actually the master?
-Or perhaps he is practicing to boss Alley Leader around . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers had been laughing and enjoying Tang-E’s actions for a while .
“He’s been doing this since the beginning?” Hyeonu asked the viewers in a dumbfounded manner .
He couldn’t adapt to the sight in front of him . Hyeonu’s appearance was in reaction to the wolf doing all sorts of tricks in front of Tang-E .
-Yes . He gave orders again and again right from the start .
-The wolf was hit once and started crawling . This is the feeling of being beaten by the local bully .
-Still, Tang-E is very fast . Wasn’t he originally a remote support? I think he is faster than me .
-What is Tang-E’s level? I think he was present from the very beginning . Shouldn’t he be over level 100?
-If he is level 100 and went through the awakening, did his stats change? I want to see Tang-E’s status window .
‘They said it was from the beginning? He is totally a neighborhood bully . That’s it . ’
“Sigh . ” Hyeonu thought that he should have an in-depth conversation with Tang-E after today’s stream .
Of course, it was a deep dialogue that included conversing with the body .
“What is Tang-E’s level? I’ll show you after this battle . There is no need for me to hide it . It seems that everyone wants to see it . ” Hyeonu accepted the needs of the viewers .
In any case, there was already a lot of information that had been released about Tang-E . He could use buffs and was a unique rated pet . Additionally, he used powerful magic and was very cute . This didn’t mean he would show it all .
‘I just have to cover everything and only show the level . ’
Since he was going to be a professional gamer in the future, the more information he hid, the better .
“Then I will surrender . I don’t think Ron can beat Tang-E . ” The wolf’s owner quickly gave up on the match .
It must not be comfortable to see his pet rolling like that .
“If I knew Ron could do tricks like these, I would’ve trained him earlier . I learned good things today, Alley Leader . ”
Of course, there were people in the world who were different .
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has won . ]
Tang-E’s first ranking battle ended strangely .
“Hey, are you crazy? Who told you to do that?” Hyeonu hit Tang-E .
“What did I do wrong? I didn’t hit him as hard as I could . I also didn’t use magic . I didn’t hit him recklessly . What’s the problem, Master dude?” Tang-E refuted Hyeonu’s words, picking at them logically .
The moment Tang-E responded like that, Hyeonu was rendered speechless .
“Since when did you talk so much? Is this the effect of the second awakening?’
“No, that isn’t . . . ”
Hyeonu prevaricated, and Tang-E pushed Hyeonu more aggressively .
“Master dude always mistreats me . It is always unconditionally my fault . Therefore, I’m a bit sad . Ah, I’m the only one who . . . ” Tang-E sighed with mournful eyes .
This was the peak of his performance . It was full of soul . It was art beyond acting . Nevertheless, Hyeonu noticed it . He had been with Tang-E for too long, so he wasn’t deceived .
‘It’s acting, as usual . ’
Yet at this moment, Hyeonu became a human who abused animals .
-Wow, it is usually like this .
-I hadn’t seen it . . .
-What’s wrong with our Tang-E?!
-Do you usually mistreat Tang-E? Really?
-Asking Alley Leader for the truth!
Behind the mask, Hyeonu frowned . It felt like he was being played by Tang-E . Hyeonu glanced at the golden bear . Tang-E’s mouth was trembling slightly . It was almost definitely a laugh .
‘Damn,’ Hyeonu cursed inwardly .
“No way? How can that be? There are no masters as good as me . ” Hyeonu hugged Tang-E .
Then he poked Tang-E in the side from an angle that the viewers couldn’t see .
“Ack! I know . Stop poking me . Hehe, that’s right . Master dude is good . ”
Hyeonu changed methods and started tickling Tang-E when he saw that the bear showed no signs of saying what he wanted . It worked . Tang-E laughed and started to say what Hyeonu wanted . “Did you see? You can’t be a bad master when you play with me so well . I was trying to make the viewers feel sorry for me . ”
-Yes, of course .
-An authentic masterpiece stream .
-I saw the scene where he was poked in the side ^^
Nevertheless, the viewers didn’t stop teasing Hyeonu .
“Ah! That’s right . Didn’t you ask me to show you Tang-E’s status window? I won’t reveal everything, but I’ll show you some of it . ”
Hyeonu chose to show the status window as a way to divert the viewers’ attention .

Hyeonu turned the status window to private . He didn’t have to show everything . It was enough to show the audience the level and intimacy stat .
‘This is how friendly I am to Tang-E . Eh?’
At this moment, something strange caught Hyeonu’s eyes .
‘Corrupted?’
“What is this?”
