“Every player has to be courageous, confident, and passionate . I want a team that isn’t lacking materially and can only look at one road . Oh, I also want a team of players with good personalities and clean pasts,” Hyeonu said with confidence .
He seemed to take things for granted, like a person looking for money they had left at the bank . Kale couldn’t help laughing in a dumbfounded manner at Hyeonu’s attitude . -Cough! What did you say just now? Mister Gang . Is there a team that matches such conditions? It would be faster if we made it .
“Then you can make it . Is it difficult? Doesn’t Nike have money? Or do you have no people? Then use my name . Then companies will rush over like a bunch of bees to pay for it . ”
Kale had nothing to say to Hyeonu’s words . Still, Hyeonu’s words weren’t wrong . There was nothing wrong about them . It was true that many companies wanted to be Alley Leader’s sponsor .
-This isn’t a decision I can make . I will report to the CEO .
‘Maybe the CEO will approve it . Moreover, he’ll probably do it willingly . ’
Kale showed a negative attitude, but once he knew that Hyeonu’s will was firm, he began taking steps to create a club in Nike . It was because they couldn’t refuse to accept the request of Alley Leader, the best streamer of Nike Management . This might not be Hyeonu’s intention, but from Nike’s position, they had to consider Hyeonu’s opinion .
‘Moreover, it won’t cost much . ’
Of course, the cost of operation would be high . However, it was a small amount of money compared to the publicity effect that the team Alley Leader belonged to would generate . On the contrary, it was beneficial for Nike if they signed a management contract under the pretext of recruiting players .
“I understand . Please contact me as soon as you’ve made a decision . ”
Hyeonu hung up after wrapping up the business deal .
The purposeless hunt exhausted Hyeonu . One week…
For one week, he had scoured the outskirts of the Balder Mountains . It wasn’t without profit . His level had increased and the proficiency of many skills had risen . The problem was that there were no big gains .
‘This isn’t an RPG from 2010 . What type of labor is this?’
He hadn’t made any progress in the quest .

[Trail of the Previous Generation]
[Discovered the diary of the former master of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art .
Read the journal and chase his trail .

Condition: xxxx’s trail 0/1
Rewards: Experience, xxxx’s keepsake . ]
He came here to clear the quest, but he couldn’t find the slightest clue . The difficulty of Trail of the Previous Generation was . Based on the level of the Balder Mountains, the clue had to unconditionally be at the entrance . If he went deeper, then it would never have an rating . Even so, Hyeonu didn’t find it .
“Uwah, I give up, give up!”
Hyeonu eventually raised the white flag . He decided to leave the Balder Mountains . After all, he had things to do, and there was no need for him to be tied up by this quest .
‘I don’t know when I’ll be able to find it . . . ’
“Tang-E, do you know how to get to Bung Bung Island?” Hyeonu asked Tang-E sitting on his shoulder .
Hyeonu was interested in Bung Bung Island . He thought it would be better to go to Bung Bung Island where there were some expectations of finding something, rather than keep doing a quest without any results .
“I asked someone . The way . . . ”
“The way?”
“I can’t remember . Wait a minute! Let me recall it,” Tang-E exclaimed with an urgent expression when he saw Hyeonu making fists .
‘Remember . I heard it clearly . Forest . . . Yes, it’s a forest!’

“Y…Yes . The entrance to Bung Bung Island is in the forest where nature breathes . ”
“A forest where nature breathes? Where is that?” Hyeonu cocked his head at the place he was hearing of for the first time .
“He said it was in the great mountain range . ”
There were many mountains in Arena, but there was only one area called the Great Mountain Range .
“The Hejin Great Mountain Range!”
Within weeks of moving to the Balder Mountains, Hyeonu shouted his return to the Hejin Great Mountain Range .
“It has been a while, Brother . ” Hyeonu waved to Kim Seokjung, the man in front of him .
Kim Seokjung saw Hyeonu and ran to embrace Hyeonu . “How long has it been? Your face is really expensive . ”
Hearing Kim Seokjung’s words, Hyeonu scratched the back of his head . “There was a quest, so I went to the Balder Mountains . ”
“Eh? The Balder Mountains? I still don’t have information on it . . . Little brother, you must’ve done it by yourself . In any case, it is nice to see you . Since you’ve returned, there must’ve been a harvest?”
Hyeonu shook his head at Kim Seokjung’s question . “I gave up . It is going nowhere . I will go back later if I have nothing to do or if another quest comes up . What about you, Brother?”
The answer came from behind Hyeonu .
“We’ve been hunting and doing the arena . Haven’t you seen the videos during this time? We also did a few raids . The miners are working hard, but the next main scenario seems to be far away . ” It was Gang Junggu, who gave off a slightly oppressive impression .
“Is that so? Well, this main scenario was unusually fast . Normally, it takes at least 3 to 4 months for a new one . It is common to hunt hard these days . ”
“Little brother, did you know? The other guild guys are in a hurry these days . They have increased the number of miners . The guild elites are even risking their lives on quests without much profit . ”

‘The large guilds are increasing their miners? Isn’t the scenario over at this point?’
Kim Seokjung’s words made Hyeonu think a lot . Why were they increasing the number of miners, and why were they having the elites do quests without much reward when they should be leveling through hunting? Hyeonu thought for a moment before noticing why . “Do they need imperial contributions? Do they want to gain a territory?”
“You are much better than the idiots in my guild . That’s right . They are trying to obtain a territory . ” Gang Junggu nodded at Hyeonu’s words . ‘He isn’t just good at games . He is also very quick at judging situations . ’
The more Gang Junggu looked at Hyeonu looked, the greedier he became . If he could bring Hyeonu to New World, then New World would remain the best guild until Arena’s final day .
“However, isn’t it impossible to give contributions to someone else?” Hyeonu asked . This question was still unanswered . As far as Hyeonu knew, the imperial contribution was impossible to be shared like experience . It meant it couldn’t be exchanged like gold .
“You don’t know? Imperial contributions can be donated to guilds . That is why they’re busy . ”
“Is that true? Then individuals will really be at a disadvantage . Someone like me would have to be an imperial dog for the rest of their lives in order to get a territory . ”
Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu burst out laughing at Hyeonu’s words . Kim Seokjung laughed for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth and saying, “Little brother, this is why you should come to us . Then I can give you an estate . ”
It was a repeated offer . It meant they were very greedy for Hyeonu . Before Hyeonu could reject Kim Seokjung’s proposal, Gang Junggu said, “It isn’t just about you owning a territory . Professional teams are also turning their eyes to gain territory . Do you know what that means?”
“It means that if one is sold, it will be very expensive . The more urgent the customer gets, the higher the price of the item will rise . ”
The opening pro league was approaching . Once the next pro league started, all clubs without a territory would end up in the second division . It was no wonder that the professional teams were busy . Once the professional league was held, they would have less time to invest in the actual Arena . That’s why they wanted to buy a territory, even if it cost a lot of money . After all, it didn’t matter if their players could get a territory or not . It was the common concept of a safety net .
“Yes, that’s correct . ”
“Brother, why don’t you seem interested in a territory?” Hyeonu wondered .
In Hyeonu’s mind, the territory would be one of the main contents of Arena in the future .
“There is no need to rush . If I do it slowly, I’ll get it eventually . Then there will be no difference with the other guilds,” Kim Seokjung replied with a laugh .
“I think the concept of time is very meaningful . Oh, it is almost time for my appointment . Then I’ll be going now . See you next time, Brother . ” Hyeonu absorbed the latest information, pretended to look at a watch that didn’t exist and quickly left . ‘They will definitely keep asking me to join the guild if I’m caught by them . ’
Once Hyeonu disappeared, Gang Junggu murmured, “I had something to say . . . Well, I guess there was an urgent appointment . I’ll tell him next time . ”
There was one piece of news that hadn’t been conveyed to Hyeonu .
After escaping from Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu, Hyeonu started to wander through the forests of the Hejin Great Mountain Range . However, the great mountain range wasn’t quite a mountain range . It wasn’t enough to look with his eyes when he didn’t know where or what the entrance of Bung Bung Island looked like . Furthermore, it wasn’t enough to just pay attention to his surroundings . Rather, they had to be observed in great detail . This alone was quite exhausting .
Additionally, like any other field, the Hejin Great Mountain Range was a paradise for monsters . There were monsters wherever he went . In particular, Hyeonu was wandering through forests scattered around the mountains, so there were few hunting teams and guilds around . He was forced to hunt day and night . Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to walk around . There was a limit to hiding . In the end, the weary Hyeonu shut down Arena .
‘This won’t do . ’
After this, Hyeonu started to scour the community for information . He stared at his laptop for a while before eventually exploding . “Aish, where is the forest where nature breathes!”
There was a loud noise as he struck the sofa . None of the Arena communities had any information about ‘the forest where nature breathes’ that Hyeonu sought . He wondered if such a thing even existed in the first place .
“Hey, you truly don’t know anything?” Hyeonu turned his head toward Yeongchan, who was lying next to him and munching on snacks .
“Me? How would I know if you don’t know? You are the one who is teaching me now,” Yeongchan answered while continuing to eat snacks, leaving nothing but a mess .
It was very disgusting .
Ttaak!
In the end, Hyeonu’s hand moved . It was to hit the back of Yeongchan who was eating the snacks .
“Oh, my hand accidentally slipped . I’m sorry,” Hyeonu said deftly . It could be mistaken for someone else hitting Yeongchan . Hyeonu naturally cleaned his laptop and quickly entered the room .
‘What? Just now . . . ’ Yeongchan was left alone and made an expression that showed he was half confused and half aggrieved .
Then after realizing the situation, he knocked on Hyeonu’s door angrily . However, there was no response .
“Gang Hyeonu!!! Open the door, you bastard!!!”
Only Yeongchan’s unanswered screams rang through his quiet house .
