“Recruit the big guilds . We will share the main scenario as long as they agree to the conditions . ” Hyeonu started to give an explanation like a teacher in Noryangjin . [1]
“The condition is to share their maps . Large guilds need to establish maps of their own areas and provide them to us . Then we’ll discard them, ignore them thoroughly . Instead, we will think about our relationships and give the maps to someone who can give us information on Cruise Mountain . ”
Speaking up to here, Hyeonu took a breath . ‘I should think about where to share the information . ’
“Then it will be easy to grow the pie . We will do as you said,” Gang Junggu said .
There was no way other than the method Hyeonu mentioned . Another guild would promote it, then people’s attention would follow . After all, in World, viewers and subscribers were money .
Gang Junggu nodded as if he understood Hyeonu’s words . Then he raised a hand and hit Hyeonu’s shoulder . “Your mind works quickly . Is it because you are young? You must spin round and round . I used to fly from flower to flower when I was young . " [2]
“Junggu, don’t you know you will get caught while flying around? I was there, and you were so red-faced . . . ”
“Brother!” Gang Junggu screamed at Kim Seokjung who was slandering him .
“700 million people . . . Little brother, how many of them do you want?”
“Shouldn’t we gain at least half? Right now, it is 100 million . We should increase it if possible, but it should absolutely never decrease,” Hyeonu declared to Kim Seokjung with confidence .
Hyeonu said this to Kim Seokjung, but he actually wanted more viewers and subscribers . ‘I have to make it big if I’m going to set a goal . ’
That’s why he planned to give only his closest acquaintances information about Cruise Mountain . This way, he would be able to prevent viewers from scattering . Simultaneously, he could concentrate on his own streams .
‘First . . . I have to give it to Kowloon . ’
Hyeonu had to take care of Liu Shei . He had to do it at least once to clear up the bad ties of the past and build up good ones .
‘In any case, I plugged him into Nike . . . ’
Moreover, they were now under the same management group . Hyeonu thought about everything Nike had given him and had to give back to them to some degree . This was Hyeonu’s motto, ‘give and take . ’
‘I don’t think Pioneer will work . It will probably have to be Red Bull or the New York Warriors . ’
Pioneer had around one hundred guild members, but this number was too small . It was clear that numbers would be everything when it came to hunting in the Balder Mountains . Although it might be good for exploration, it didn’t fit with this large-scale development . Meanwhile, Red Bull and New York Warriors had continued the relationship that began with Masked Fighting King . Even if they weren’t his friends, Reina and Mascherano were close enough with Hyeonu to be called his acquaintances .
Hyeonu was thinking about the list of guilds to share information with about the main scenario . Then he suddenly turned to ask the two men . “Brothers, do you have anyone you want to join the scenario?”
Kim Seokjung reflexively shook his head . Then he saw Hyeonu’s strong gaze on him and hurriedly mentioned a person he remembered . “There shouldn’t be . However, if it is necessary . . . It is probably that guy that you beat . I wish he would join the guild . ”
Hyeonu wondered, “Do you mean Rain?”
Kim Seokjung remembered Rain’s name due to Hyeonu and continued to speak . “Yes, Rain . The guild that he leads is also pretty good . ”
“Behemoth is more suitable for attracting attention than for their skills . Brother, unlike your words, it isn’t a very good place . In terms of strength, other large guilds will be better . ” Gang Junggu refuted Kim Seokjung’s words . It was revenge for when Kim Seokjung slandered him earlier .
Nevertheless, Gang Junggu’s words were true . The value of the Behemoth Guild was lower than that of other guilds despite the fact that the 1st ranked Rain was a guild member . Indeed, its value was definitely low . This could be ascertained by looking at the views of the videos on the Behemoth Guild’s channel in World . All of them were terrible except for Rain’s videos .
“So it is a typical one-man guild . I see . I will take it into consideration,” Hyeonu said .
However, Hyeonu still felt they were worth recruiting in terms of making a topic . The value of Rain’s name was enough to attract people .
‘Then that means there are four in total . ’
They were the Kowloon Guild, Red Bull America, New York Warriors, and Behemoth . Hyeonu didn’t consider too many guilds . In any case, rumors would spread sooner or later .
‘Rumors will definitely leak from somewhere . ’
Any hyenas who appeared would serve as the foundation for Hyeonu . Once the sixth main scenario was over, they would be dedicated to the viewers .
“Okay . Good . I’ll gradually adjust the details . Thanks for your hard work today, Brothers . ”
There was a bright smile on Hyeonu’s face .

Kale’s morning was busy . It was good to be the head of the planning department .
. . . At least, for the first few days . After all, Nike Management was huge . Leading such a huge department was a much harder and busier job than he had expected .
‘It would be good if the boss worked hard . ’
In addition, Jamie—the final decision maker and most capable boss of the company—showed boldness in taking the weekends and holidays off, as well as not missing out on a single one of Alley Leader’s streams . This made it even harder for Kale . Jamie said he trusted Kale with the job because Kale was competent . However, wasn’t it just because he didn’t want to work?
‘I also want to watch the streams . . . ’
However, Kale was happy today . It was because he was going to work outside instead of at the company . Furthermore, he was going somewhere other than a stuffy building . Kale lowered the window of the driver’s seat and said to the surveillance camera, “This is Kale of Nike Management . ”
Then a loud mechanical voice came from the speaker under the camera . -Kale from Nike Management . The appointment has been confirmed .
The iron gate that was blocking Kale’s way moved steadily . Soon after confirming that the iron bars had been completely removed, Kale drove into the huge mansion . The mansion was spacious, with features ranging from the unseen gardens to the swimming pool on one side . It was more like the residence of a rich person rather than that of a professional gamer .
‘Is it here?’ Kale wondered .
Beeep .
He got out of the car and looked at the white building in front of him . The building matched the one in the photo that was sent to him . Kale stood in front of the building, and the door opened automatically to reveal a familiar beauty standing there .
“I didn’t know you would make a decision so quickly, Miss Reina,” Kale said .
“Please speak to me comfortably . We will be partners in the future,” Reina replied .
“I understand, Reina . ”

Kale had come to the New York Warriors . It was for the contract with Reina . Kale pretended that he thought it would take a long time, but in fact, he had the feeling that Reina had already decided from the moment she went to Nike’s party .
‘In a way, Reina is also part of those recruited by Alley Leader . . . She is the second one after Liu Shei . ’
Outsiders didn’t know it, but Kale and Jamie knew . Alley Leader’s influence was significant to Reina signing a management contract with Nike instead of Adidas .
‘Reina has agreed, and Mascherano will be in touch soon . ’
Reina and Mascherano were well-known best friends . They played in the same league but were friends instead of rivals . Still, some people said it wasn’t real and that it was just an image they made for popularity .
“By the way, why did you come here? It would’ve been much better for me to go to Nike . . . ” Reina questioned the words she heard from Kale a few days ago . She had been told that it was common to meet in a third-party space when making a contract . However, if the company was this close, then most of them would go to the company . It was rare for the management to come to the player’s home directly .
Kale smiled lightly and replied, “There are many reasons . The most important thing is that someone requested it . ”
Reina shook her head and asked, “It was a request? Who asked for such a request? Was it Mascherano?”
“Why would he ask me for a request? He hasn’t even signed a contract with Nike . ”
‘Who is it?’ Reina had more questions as she kept listening to Kale .
She couldn’t think of a person who would make such a request no matter how she thought about it . The smile on Kale’s face deepened when he saw Reina’s expression . “Mister Gang asked me to come here . ”
“Mister Gang? Who is that?” Reina cocked her head at the unfamiliar name, but one person’s face soon filled her mind . Her eyes widened . Stepping toward Kale, Reina asked like she wanted to double-check her guess, “Is it him? Really?”
“It’s true . He made the request himself . I was told to meet you in person and convey something to you . ”
“Tell me quickly,” Reina urged .
Then Kale delivered Hyeonu’s words to her . “I will start with congratulations . Welcome to Nike . I think that Nike will be of great help to Reina . In addition, I have something to say about Arena . Please be sure to send me a whisper when you log in . ”
“Is that the end?” Reina had a look of disbelief . ‘He had Kale come to my home just to tell me this?’

The planning director of Nike Management, a huge company, came just to convey these words . Reina was upset by Alley Leader’s actions . At least, she thought she must be . Otherwise, there was no way to explain this disappointment she was feeling .
“I understand . I really appreciate today’s visit, Kale . ” Reina smiled and sent Kale away .
***
“Kale? Did she listen to my request?”
-Yes, I told her your message, but her expression didn’t look very good . I noticed a bit of disappointment?
“Really? Did you do something wrong? Was your hospitality bad?” Hyeonu cocked his head to one side .
There wasn’t anything disappointing about his words . Why would she be disappointed from hearing just a few words?
-Hospitality? Not at all . Today, I went to the New York Warriors’ accommodation . I didn’t invite her to Nike .
Kale’s visit to the property of the New York Warriors’ accommodation was his idea . It was a timid rebellion against his boss, Jamie, who didn’t do any work . Kale had used it as an excuse, and it had nothing to do with Hyeonu’s request .
“Yet she was disappointed? Isn’t it because of Nike’s conditions? What does it have to do with me? Kale, are you blaming me now?”
-How can that be? We have always given the best treatment .
“Groan . . . I see . I will take responsibility this time . Instead, please speak to Mascherano . ”
-I will do as Mister Gang requests at any time .
