Chapter 208
‘Something big? What happened?’ Hyeonu was surprised that Gang Junggu had arrived earlier than the appointment time . Had something major occurred? If that was the case, why did he come to Hyeonu? He should’ve gone to fix things .
“Can you start the stream quickly? Do you have to turn it on at a certain time?” Gang Junggu asked .
‘Does he have something to do at night?’ Hyeonu wondered .
Then he told Gang Junggu, “It isn’t a big deal . You can appear on the stream on Monday or Friday . It doesn’t have to be today . You don’t have to overdo it, Brother . ”
Hyeonu had his own speculation about Gang Junggu’s words . Gang Junggu had a big problem, so he needed to stream as quickly as possible . This was what Hyeonu thought .
However, Gang Junggu’s words completely overturned Hyeonu’s expectations . “It isn’t like that . My older brother seems to have noticed . If we don’t do it properly, he might enter in the middle of the stream . I printed out the email you sent me, and I think he saw it . Let’s start streaming before he comes . ”
“!!! This . . . ” Hyeonu was flustered by Gang Junggu’s words .
It was a bit unexpected . Streaming with Kim Seokjung… Just imagining it was horrible . Kim Seokjung’s adlibs caused Gang Junggu to often sweat because he had to clean up the mess they produced .
“I will start the stream right now,” Hyeonu decided . It was an unavoidable choice .
Gang Junggu’s nod showed he agreed with Hyeonu’s choice . “Good, get started straight away . I will do as you said . ”

[Alley Leader’s Emergency Announcement . ]
Hyeonu used the title that would attract viewers the fastest . It was a title worth a visit because it aroused curiosity just seeing it while passing by . Today’s stream started without any waiting time, so viewers flocked to it even more quickly .
“Yes, hello . Welcome . It is nice to see you . ”
Unlike the urgent title, Hyeonu greeted the audience in a relaxed manner . So it was the viewers who were bewildered instead . It was because the atmosphere around Alley Leader was different from what they had expected .
-No, what is with the title?
-Looking at the title, I thought it was his pro debut announcement . . .
-I thought he was quitting Arena and came quickly . Why is he so calm?
-He said it was an urgent announcement, so I came into the cub while eating fried chicken . Yet there is no such thing?
‘Three million people . . . This is enough . ’
Hyeonu saw that enough viewers had gathered and got to the point .
“I wrote that it is an emergency announcement in the title, but it isn’t that urgent . ”
As a streamer deeply immersed in capitalism, he showed skills to receive gold coins .
-Don’t drag it out and just tell us!
-Are there not enough gold coins? Gold coins?
-Guys, the leader is asking for some gold coins .
-Give them . What are you doing? Don’t you want to watch today’s stream? Throw the gold coins!
Viewers had been hit by Hyeonu’s technique several times and were quick to notice . They understood what Hyeonu’s words meant and started to send the gold coins .
-Leader Big Fan has gifted you 11 gold coins .
-US Leader has gifted you 22 gold coins .
“Thank you for the gold coins . It really wasn’t my intention this time . I can’t see it even if you give gold coins . The chat window is going up so quickly that I can’t react even if you give gold coins . ”
Hyeonu pretended not to know and brought out the real story .
“There are a few things to talk about . First, as you all know, I want to be a professional gamer . A specific debut time has been set . I will play in the Korean League next season . I am looking for the team members myself . ”
-Wow, he’s really becoming a professional gamer .
-I thought it was just talk .
-There isn’t only a material desire; there is also a desire for fame .
-By the way, doesn’t he need to reveal his face to be a pro gamer? Pro gamers can’t cover their faces .
“I saw a very good question just now . If I go . . . Of course, I will take off my mask . You’ll probably be amazed . I assure you . ”
It was natural . No one knew that Hyeonu was meleegod in the past because Hyeonu usually wore his mask in the village . However, if he made his debut as a professional gamer and his face appeared on the community posts, then people would find out and compare photos . Then it would be natural to be surprised . The fact that meleegod of the past was the current Alley Leader—there was no better material for gossip than this .
-Kyah . . . He hasn’t made his debut yet he is already bragging .
-Alley Leader is just a corpse if he doesn’t have confidence . It is natural .
-Then his face will be revealed in three to four months .
-As long as he isn’t handsome .
-Right . . . Then it isn’t too unfair .
Hyeonu smiled as the number of viewers continued to grow . In fact, the talk about becoming a professional gamer was to consume time . He had to make an announcement one day, but it didn’t have to be today . In fact, it was the bridesmaid for the main story .
“The second one is really important . I have joined a guild . ”
-Huh? What is this?
-A guild? Joined? Please join mine!
-Which guild is he going to?
-He is going to be a pro gamer, but he is joining a guild?
-Yes . Isn’t this strange?
It was a reasonable question . Usually, Arena’s professional teams operated guilds . Examples of these were JT Telecom and Mascherano’s Red Bulls . So for Alley Leader to enter a guild at this point . . . ? It was breaking common sense .
“It is natural that you are curious . Why have I entered a guild at this time? Let me explain it slowly . Should I tell you about the guild I entered first? He is the executive of the guild I entered . Brother, come out . ” Hyeonu turned his head back like he had agreed to do so in advance .
-Brother? Don’t tell me . . .
-New World .
-There are only two people that Alley Leader calls ‘Brother’ .
-Jin Sijong, Gang Junggu .
Viewers already roughly predicted who would appear based on the name Alley Leader used to call the person . ‘Brother’—there were only two people who were called this by Alley Leader .
-Then Gang Junggu will come out, right?
-If it were you, would you bring Jin Sijong? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I admit it . I praise Brother Junggu .
-It’s a time bomb . It is unknown when he will explode .
-There is the possibility that Jin Sijong will come out on the stream for fun .
-Yes, you’re delusional .
A very small number of viewers raised the possibility of Kim Seokjung appearing instead of Gang Junggu . However, it was soon ignored by other viewers . Everyone knew it was crazy to bring Kim Seokjung to a live stream .
-There have been a few accidents in New World’s streams . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
At this moment, there was a voice that overturned everyone’s expectations .
“Hey, Buroder! Your brother has come!!” Kim Seokjung appeared . It was an appearance that overturned everyone’s expectations .
-Kyah, this is Alley Leader’s big picture .
-It is Alley Leader who is pursuing something different .
-He brought Jin Sijong here . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers were all amazed by Alley Leader . However, the most surprised one was Alley Leader, Hyeonu himself . Hyeonu’s eyes were trembling like he had seen an earthquake .
‘It isn’t Brother Junggu who is coming out . Why? Why is he here?’
Hyeonu barely grasped his sense of reason that was about to ascend to heaven and asked in a trembling voice, “Brother, why are you here . . . ? No, how . . . ”
“What? I was informed that my little brother has entered New World . Why wouldn’t I come?” Kim Seokjung put his arm around Hyeonu’s shoulder with a smile on his face .
Hyeonu then turned his head to look at Kim Seokjung . To be exact, he looked at Gang Junggu behind Kim Seokjung .
‘I’m sorry . He came like he knew . ’ Gang Junggu didn’t make a sound, but he moved his mouth . Hyeonu saw it and gave such a quiet sigh that Kim Seokjung didn’t notice .
‘It’s all ruined . . . ’ Hyeonu gave up .
The moment Kim Seokjung appeared, the plan Hyeonu had put together was rendered useless . Now everything was adlib . Miraculously, once he accepted the situation, his pounding heart returned to normal .
‘Yes, what is the problem?’
Perhaps he’d had a premonition after hearing Gang Junggu’s words earlier . Otherwise, his body wouldn’t have adapted so quickly .
“All of you should know the guild I’m in . It’s Arena’s best guild, New World . ”
-You don’t have to say it . Today’s stream is a record-breaking one .
-I can expect today’s stream to be super fun .
-Guys, what are you doing? Brother Sijong has come . Congratulate by giving gold .
-The emperor of adlib, the maker of super fun streams—Jin Sijong has entered . ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Viewers were already satisfied with the appearance of Jin Sijong . If there was Qing Feng in the East Continent who embarrassed Alley Leader, then there was Jin Sijong among the players . This was the moment when Alley Leader, who wasn’t weak against anyone, weakened . The viewers felt a sense of catharsis when they saw Alley Leader looking weak .
-It seems I have this taste . . .
The viewers were quick to find out their tastes for entertainment .
***
Due to Kim Seokjung’s surprise appearance, the stream was in a lull for a while . Nevertheless, the stream had to continue, so Hyeonu started talking again . “The reason why I entered New World is simple . It is because New World has established itself as the sponsor of the club I’m going to join . ”
-What sponsor? New World is giving money?
-Or offer professional gamers?
-Jin Sijong and Gang Junggu are debuting as professional gamers?
-Is it the birth of the uncle gamers?
The viewers were once again questioning Hyeonu’s words . It was true that New World was Arena’s best guild . They did make a lot of money, but it wasn’t enough to support a professional team . That was due to their large size and complicated interests .
‘Of course, New World is different . ’
New World transparently settled all income . The guild members who conducted the streams received all the gold coins given while they were streaming . The same went for the import of videos . There was only one reason New World could be operated like this .
It was because Kim Seokjung’s wealth was beyond imagination . He was actually a very rich man . He was the major shareholder of a global grain company and the owner of dozens of buildings in Hong Kong . In Arena, he was just playing around, and it became his lifelong hobby . It was also a window for him to communicate with others .
“Starting from the next league, it will be split into the first and second divisions . The standard is whether a team has a castle or not . New World will sponsor a castle for my team . ”
Hyeonu’s words came as a shock to viewers . The Arena Pro League was going to be divided into first and second divisions . This was the first time they had heard of it .
-It’s real .
-First and second divisions . . . This is the first time I’ve heard of it .
-I understand Quency’s intentions . They mean that professional gamers should work hard in Arena and not just focus on the league .
-Don’t be too keen on PvP, pro-gamers .
“Of course, I didn’t enter just because of the castle . I’m joining the guild due to my personal friendships, and the castle is just a gift . In addition, I didn’t just receive things . I brought a very big gift to them . It is give and take,” Hyeonu said .
The moment Hyeonu finished talking, Kim Seokjung opened his mouth and asked, “Do you know about the main scenario? He brought it with him . Isn’t it amazing?”
Kim Seokjung’s prideful boast left the audience at a loss for words
