Chapter 190
Chapter 190
“This shi . . . ” Hyeonu barely resisted the urge to swear . The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became . For two days, he had done everything possible to get information . He had walked around every inn dozens of times and asked about the disappearance of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior .
However, his efforts had amounted to nothing at all . More than 100 years had passed since the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior’s disappearance, and the innkeepers didn’t know about it . This was different from when he asked about the Mysterious Sky Sect . If the rumors about the Mysterious Sky Sect were just rumors, then the disappearance of the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior was part of a secret history of Jianghu .
Hyeonu wouldn’t be able to grasp the information of that time unless he found the right source to ask .
“ . . . Yes!” Hyeonu suddenly recalled the existence of Qing Feng, who had said for Hyeonu to go visit him if Hyeonu had anything to ask .
‘Everyone says that Shuiyang is under the control of the Chonghua Sect . ’
The distance between Manhua Mountain and Shuiyang was quite short . It might be a long time ago, but the Chonghua Sect might know information about the Mysterious Sky Demonic Senior .
‘I should turn on the streaming mode first . ’
Today was Thursday . It wasn’t a streaming day . However, Hyeonu had to be in the United States on Saturday morning, so he would do the stream one day in advance . Of course, he could take a break for the day . Someone might ask why he couldn’t rest for a day even though he had already succeeded .
‘That isn’t it . ’
The party wasn’t as important as the stream . Rather, it was even more important to keep the streaming agreement with the viewers . He couldn’t get rid of it .
“In other words, a popular NPC will be born today . ”
Qing Feng was the same as Kim Seokjung . It was obvious that the audience would happily welcome Qing Feng .
‘I just have to struggle today, then it will be the party next . I have to have strength . ’
Currently, 90% of the power sustaining Hyeonu was sourced from thinking of the weekend party .

The moment Hyeonu turned on the streaming mode, a message window appeared to many viewers .
[Meet Alley Leader one day in advance . ]
In World, if one subscribed to a streamer’s channel, they would receive notifications when the streamer started live streaming . That message was what appeared in front of the viewers . It appeared in all types of streams, and the viewers were talking about it .
-Huh? What is going on?
-Ohhh . Alley Leader has come to his senses . He is streaming three times a week .

-Are you still being deceived? He isn’t going to do it tomorrow .
-Viewers are being mocked in earnest .
From the viewers with the grand dream of Alley Leader streaming three times a week to those who recognized reality, all of them expressed their opinion . There were some fights, but, there were actions that were common amongst all of the viewers . They started to move to Alley Leader’s stream . It was like people taking an evacuation route . All those watching different streams left for Alley Leader’s stream .
The surprised ones were the streamers who were currently streaming . There was no reason for their surprise other than the fact that their audience had started to shrink . Nine Steel, whose popularity had plummeted after his terrible defeat to Hyeonu, was a prime example of that . “No . Brothers, what’s going on? Why is everyone suddenly . . . ”
The moment the viewers saw Alley Leader’s notification, they left like the low tide .
-Alley Leader has started streaming, one viewer stated while Nine Steel was stomping his feet with confusion .
“Brothers, isn’t today Thursday? How can Alley Leader be streaming? What is this . . . ”
-I don’t know, but there was a notification . I got it as well . Work hard .
The viewers left Nine Steel’s stream behind .
‘Alley Leader, Alley Leader . ’
“Alley Leader, this jerk!!” Nine Steel screamed as the number of his viewers became smaller .

Meanwhile, Hyeonu didn’t know about the screams of other streamers and greeted the audience .
“Thank you for coming to today’s stream even though I’m streaming on Thursday . ”
-Do well if you know it . Don’t take a break from streaming tomorrow .
-Go in a good mood . Do it today and tomorrow .
-Maintain your spirit . Ohhh . You know how to do a surprise stream .
Viewers were somewhat aware that today was a replacement for tomorrow’s stream . It was why they mentioned and emphasized streaming tomorrow, directly or indirectly .
“I wish that were possible, but I’m going to America tomorrow . That’s why I’m doing it today . I would like to stream three times a week, but I can’t . I’m sorry,” Hyeonu explained and bowed .
Once Hyeonu came out and said it like that, the viewers couldn’t say anything in response . Hyeonu could’ve taken a day off instead of doing the stream one day in advance . So how could they blame a streamer like this?
-Ah . . . I have nothing to say .

-Yes . Then let’s enjoy today’s streaming .
Out of curiosity, one of the viewers asked why Hyeonu was visiting America . Usually, streamers didn’t go abroad . Their time was only spent on Arena and streaming .
-Then why are you going to the United States?
-Our Alley Leader, you’ve succeeded . You are going to the United States .
-Argon will sulk if you go alone . Argon will be streaming alone . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
‘Should I say it?’ Hyeonu wondered if he should mention Nike’s party, but his troubles were useless . Everyone who was anyone already knew . It was different from his previous bombshell words .
‘I’m also sorry for making so much trouble . . . ’ He had this thought and eventually inclined toward talking .
“Well, it isn’t anything secret, so I’ll tell you . To be exact, I’m going to New York . Who do you think invited me?”
-Invited? What is happening in New York?
-Dwayne? Does Dwayne live in New York?
-You idiots . Nike Management is in New York .
-Ah, Nike!
With Hyeonu’s words, viewers started to figure out the puzzle . New York and Nike—the largest pieces were aligned .
-I’m searching right now . Saturday is the day of Nike’s party .
-Ah, that’s right . There is Nike’s party .
-If Alley Leader doesn’t go, then who would? He is this year’s best star .
The viewers guessed it precisely . Hyeonu opened his mouth and said, “Yes, that's right . I am going to a party hosted by Nike, okay? Are you jealous? Argon is going as well . Don’t you all know that Masked Fighting King is a Nike program? We are taking the same flight . ”
-Shivers .
-I’m jealous . I want to go to New York too!
-I live in New York, but I can’t go to the party .
‘The explanation is over, and the reaction is good too . I have to move on . ’
Hyeonu felt the chat was gradually going off topic and quickly started the stream . It was a precise control of the flow .
“Now I will end the introduction and move on to the main subject . Today’s stream will be of me clearing the quest . I am going to Chonghua Sect, which is probably the equivalent of a local city lord in the West Continent . Around the level of a viscount or an earl?”

-Are you going to the Chonghua Sect to make trouble today?
-Alley Leader isn’t an idiot . Is he going to make trouble everywhere?
-No, the other guilds worked for three years, and they’re only getting to know earls now . Whereas he’s been here for three days .
Viewers marveled at Hyeonu’s explanation regarding what was coming up next . No, they were astonished .
-His real talent is truly good . He’s already made connections with the Chonghua Sect .
-This is enough to enter any guild as a miner . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
In a short period of time, Alley Leader had already established connections with giant forces . This was ridiculous . Other large guilds spent a lot of time and money to get acquainted with high-ranking noble NPCs . However, Alley Leader didn’t seem to care about such things . He formed a relationship with a big power in just a few days .
-A real monster amongst monsters .
-A miner isn’t as good as this .
-He is also good at fighting . It is killing two birds with one stone!
-It somehow feels like his value and wealth have changed . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
‘As expected, these people have excellent eyes . ’
Hyeonu smiled as he watched the viewers praise him . “I will quickly proceed with the stream . ”
***
Hyeonu had already arrived at Manhua Mountain before he started streaming . It was all for the viewers . His streaming frequency was very low as he felt it was a considerable waste of time streaming with useless moves . “Then I will go to the Chonghua Sect straight away . ’
-Go go go go .
-Go, Alley Leader!
-Uh, he’s switched perspectives .
-I prefer this over third person . It feels like I’m the one playing the game .
The moment Hyeonu spoke, he had already changed the point of view of his stream to first person . Now viewers were seeing things from Hyeonu’s point of view . The reason for this was simple . Hyeonu had to take off his mask now .
‘I’m ready . ’
He didn’t have the guts to wear Crasul’s Curse to the Chonghua Sect when it contained all the sinister emotions of the world .
“That . . . Daoist, can I ask you something?” Hyeonu called out .
The young Daoist guarding Chonghua Sect was surprised by Hyeonu’s sudden call . “Please speak . ”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s pretending he isn’t surprised .
-This is fun . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Why is our Alley Leader teasing the kid?
The viewers laughed at the Daoist’s behavior .
“I’m here to see a Daoist . . . He is called Qing Feng . ”
“Qing Feng shishu [1]! Is it really him?”
This time, the young Daoist couldn’t hide his surprise .
This was the effect of the name ‘Qing Feng’ . Qing Feng—he was a Daoist who was respected by the next generation of disciples and a swordsman who represented the Chonghua Sect externally . The young Daoist couldn’t help being surprised that someone came to find Qing Feng .
‘His level is beyond imagination . ’
The force the young Daoist felt from Hyeonu was far superior to the force he, a disciple of the Chonghua Sect, possessed . The difference was so severe that the comparison was silly .
Hyeonu said, “If that Qing Feng has a strange beard and a pleasant disposition . . . then he is the one I’m looking for . ”
In response to Hyeonu’s words, the Daoist made a request to Hyeonu . “Excuse me, can you wait a minute? I will bring Shishu over . ”
The flustered Daoist turned around without listening to Hyeonu’s answer and started running toward the interior of the Chonghua Sect . “This Daoist is slightly strange? Why did he ask if he was going to do this? Don’t leave until you hear the answer . . . ”
-I admit it . He just said what he wanted and then disappeared .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So why did you show up first and embarrass the child?
“Is this my fault? In addition, it wasn’t sudden . I took a very slow and leisurely approach . ”
Hyeonu made excuses that weren’t excuses . He had fallen into the audience’s trap and was bickering with them when the young Daoist came over with Qing Feng . Seeing the two men come over, Hyeonu stopped fighting with the audience . “I will put up with it this time . Sigh, I’m angry inside . ”
He opened his mouth and grinned a few times . However, such practice was useless . Hyeonu couldn’t manage his expression from the moment Qing Feng opened his mouth . “Hey, why are you only visiting me now? You should’ve come a bit faster . I have been waiting for a long time . I thought you forgot me or that you would never come . ”
