-Hi everyone .
-Hi hi .
-It has been a while . By the way, why is the title of today’s broadcast like this? Do you know?
-Did he find a dungeon? There are rumors lately that Alley Leader is hunting in the Balder Mountains . Maybe it is an expedition to the Balder Mountains .
Viewers usually talked about what Alley Leader would do today while waiting for the stream to start . Most of them were previewed by Alley Leader at the end of the previous stream, so there wasn’t much curiosity . However, today was different . There were no announcements, and the title was also unique .
[Exploring a New World with Alley Leader]
A new world . . .
What was this new world? What did it mean?
Viewers started to express their opinions about it .
-No, it is a dungeon, right?
-Eh, no way .
-It isn’t a dungeon . It is a really strange place .
-I hope it is Tang-E’s home .
-Seriously . Bears like Tang-E . . .
-I’m happy just imagining it . It is a healing feeling .
The audience was united in their comments that it was Tang-E’s home .
A short time later, a man wearing a child’s mask appeared on the big screen . It was Alley Leader .
“Hello everyone! I am the streamer Alley Leader who never loses his original heart . It is nice to meet everyone . ” Hyeonu greeted the audience as usual .
Then he looked at the chat window . Today was the first stream that would change things up a bit since he became first in the arena rankings . This was why he started off strong from the title .
‘The reactions are very intense . ’
It was as Hyeonu thought . However, the viewers’ reactions were very intense in a different sense .
-Tang-EEEEEEEEEE!!!!
-Come out Tang-E!
-Come out in human or bear form!!
-Wicked streamer, go away!
“It feels like everyone has forgotten my personality? The chat window is very lively . . . ?” In the end, Hyeonu couldn’t resist and revealed his true nature . “I think it is time to swing the hammer again . Have I been peaceful for too long?”
Hyeonu’s appearance as he enunciated each word was terrifying . The audience was forced to calm down at Hyeonu’s words . Tang-E was Alley Leader’s pet . In order to see Tang-E, they had to remain in Alley Leader’s stream .
-I’m sorry . The previous comment was from my cat .
-Receive these gold coins and get rid of your anger . . .
-An Apple Every Day has gifted you 99 gold coins .
Hyeonu’s anger only calmed down after seeing the gold coins . The viewers all knew to some extent that Alley Leader wasn’t really angry . It was just a roundabout method to ask for gold coins . Still, everyone fell for it . It was because such behavior was part of Alley Leader’s charm . He had inhuman skills but a very human nature . The enormous gap between the two was one of the driving factors of Alley Leader’s popularity .
“Thank you for the 99 gold coins . Then let me explain why today’s title is ‘exploring a new world’ . ”
-Yes, explain it quickly, master streamer .
-I will curse you in my heart if it is exploring a dungeon .
-Coward . Be like me and swear in the chat .
-Then you’ll be kicked out .
‘No one is expecting the East Continent . ’
A deep smile appeared on Hyeonu’s face . He was smiling at the thought of giving the viewers a blow . It wasn’t only the viewers . All of Arena’s communities would probably be in turmoil . The name ‘East Continent’ was well-suited to attract a lot of attention .
“I am currently not in the empire . Do you know the East Continent? It is beyond the Balder Mountains . I am in uncharted territory . ”
Hyeonu finished speaking and switched the point of view of the camera . Until now it was showing Hyeonu and a bit of the background, but then it changed to Hyeonu’s point of view . The viewers now saw what Hyeonu saw .
“Now, this is the East Continent . It seems to have mixed cultures from East Asia . ”
Hyeonu chose the most scenic place in Haju for the stream . The view was really amazing . It looked down at Haju like Building 63 looked down on Seoul .
-Wow, what is this? Am I seeing incorrectly?
-My mind is spinning, spinning . . . Is this Arena?
-Is this being released to the public for the first time? The guilds aren’t hiding it?
-There haven’t even been rumors about the East Continent, let alone someone going there . Is he the only one in Arena who has gone there?
The viewers were shocked by Hyeonu’s shocking information . The East Continent . . .
It was unthinkable . This reveal was on a completely different level from the viewers’ speculation that it was a new dungeon .
“From today on, I’m not where you are . I am here in the East Continent . Please look at the videos on my channel if you are curious about the East Continent . I’ll keep posting them . ”
-I will look at it 10 times a day . Please upload a lot of videos .
-His real class is different .
-Other people skip streaming once or twice when they’re looking for the main scenario . Meanwhile, our Alley Leader is doing such a big thing while streaming the entire time .
-This is a real ‘one man going against hundreds’ . It seems to be beyond the level of a large guild .
Hyeonu enjoyed the reactions of the viewers . He felt rewarded when he saw them admiring himself .
‘This is the taste,’ Hyeonu recalled the catchphrase of a gagman he’d heard in the past . This was truly the taste .
“I don’t intend to do much today . I’m just going around to clear my quest . Is this okay?” Hyeonu asked the viewers for their understanding . The East Continent might be a novelty, but it was the duty of a streamer to show what the viewers wanted .
-It’s okay .
-Just take a tour around the East Continent .
-Watching our Alley Leader’s stream is never boring .
-After passing by the mountain, I’m afraid bandits will strike . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers weren’t dissatisfied at all . Alley Leader’s streams were always dynamic . Few of them had progressed smoothly . No, it was safe to say that there were none had done so . This was because it was more common for problems to occur .
“That absolutely won’t happen today . I’m just going to move . I’m looking for another city, and my goal is to reach there . I have no intention of fighting or something similar in the middle . ” Hyeonu refuted the viewers’ prophecy .
It would not happen today .
‘Today is just a stream that will show the scenery of the East Continent . ’
Hyeonu hypnotized himself like this . All he had to do today was walk along the road . He had already found a way to get to Jeonggyeong . A merchant group, a representative guide in genre novels—Hyeonu invited them to join him . To be exact, before Hyeonu started streaming, he searched for merchant groups heading to Jeonggyeong, and they willingly let him join the party after seeing Hyeonu’s skills .
‘I just have to go with the merchant group . What can happen?’
However, Hyeonu struggled with the anxiety that was gradually filling his heart . After all, Hyeonu knew that he experienced quite a lot of incidents .
“Absolutely . It will never be as good as today . Never!”
The merchant group’s path to Jeonggyeong was as calm as Hyeonu wished . Rather, it was boring .
-By the way, since Arena has an Oriental area like this, does it mean they are now targeting China in earnest?
-You should say that it is all of Asia, not just China .
-Now Arena has a stagnant player base . The explosive growth has already stopped .
-Thanks to our Alley Leader, the direction of growth has shifted from its downward momentum, but it has been a while .
Hyeonu watched the messages of the audience members closely . It was quite interesting . Content aimed at Asia . . .
‘It is like this?’
It was naturally good news for Hyeonu . The increase in the number of Arena players was directly related to the increase in Hyeonu’s potential viewers . It also meant that Hyeonu’s income would increase .
‘Then shouldn’t Quency give me something?’
If Kim Jinyeong and Park Hyeonjun heard these words, they would slap Hyeonu’s cheeks several times .
“Is that so? I hadn’t thought about it at all . Since it’s released on my stream, shouldn’t Quency do something for me?” Hyeonu spoke proudly .
Sincerity could be felt from his attitude . He really wanted a gift .
-You really want something?
-Really pure .
-So pure that it is scary . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Quency employees, if you are watching the stream right now, give a subscription . If our Alley Leader becomes angry, it will last a long time .
-He is really narrow-minded . Extremely narrow-minded .
Hyeonu was lost in the communication with the viewers when he saw a man waving at him .
“Wait a moment . Someone seems to be calling me over . I won’t be able to see the chat for a while . Thank you for your understanding . ”
Hyeonu turned off the chat window and ran toward the man who called for him . He had kept a small distance from the merchant group for the sake of streaming, so he needed to move quickly . Hyeonu asked, “Did you call, Mister Zhang Hun?”
He spoke politely to Zhang Hun, the person in charge of the merchant group . This was natural as it was Zhang Hun who let Hyeonu join the merchant group . Hyeonu naturally needed to keep a submissive attitude toward Zhang Hun .
“Mister Zhang Hun . . . You don’t have to call me that . Just Brother Zhang is fine . ” Zhang Hun shook his head like he was burdened by what Hyeonu called him .
Zhang Hun thought Hyeonu was crazy when he asked to join the merchant group . This was natural . They might be a merchant group on the way back from their job, but who would let a stranger they didn’t even know join? However, Zhang Hun gave permission due to Hyeonu’s constant persuasion and the strange pressure he felt from Hyeonu .
‘His skills look pretty good . ’
It was unknown when and where a merchant group would be attacked . Therefore, it wouldn’t be bad to have a talented person like Hyeonu with them . Of course, even if Hyeonu had an impure purpose, Zhang Hun was confident he could overcome it .
Zhang Hun told Hyeonu, “I called you because I thought you should go with us now . Do you see the mountains over there? There is a famous mountain stronghold . They naturally won’t hit our merchant group, but it isn’t bad to be prepared just in case . ”
Hyeonu nodded at Zhang Hun’s explanation . It made sense . “I understand . From now on, I’ll move with the group . ”
“Thank you for understanding . ”
Hyeonu and Zhang Hun understood each other, but the viewers didn’t .
-Screeeeeam! He clearly turned off the chat window again!
-He has no intention of reading the comments!
-You need to communicate, communicate!
-Another habit came out again . Sigh .
Hyeonu had forgotten to turn on the chat window . For a moment, viewers couldn’t shut their mouths at the situation occurring in front of them .
-Wow . . .
-Crazy .
-It is like this . . .
