Chapter 238
Chapter 238
During the time when Hyeonu was busy recruiting the Crescent Moon players, the Arenrelated players were busy for other reasons . They were all interested in Alley Leader . The direct and indirect comparisons with Red Bull America reaffirmed Alley Leader’s power . More than half of Arena’s information programs and streamers started analyzing Alley Leader’s video .
Sunny was one of them . She originally did this type of streaming often, so she quickly moved to find guests .
[Alley Leader’s Circumstances . Uncover the hidden secrets!!! Feat . Teika . ]
The guest that Sunny called was Teika . He had been ranked first for the longest time in the arena . However, this recent rating was slightly lowered due to him receiving successive defeats from Rain and Alley Leader .
“Teika? I don’t understand no matter how much I look at it . I don’t think it is a skill . How can he do that?” Sunny’s eyes were wide as she asked Teika a question .
Teika took Sunny’s question seriously .
“I will explain while watching the video again . ” Teika grabbed the mirror and shook it .
Then the video was rolled back to just before Hyeonu cut the purple ogre four times .
“Sunny and the audience should watch with your eyes wide open . It’s very fast . ”
It was as Teika said . Alley Leader’s blow happened in an instant, and the purple ogre’s knees were cut .
“Did you see?” Teika asked .
“No, I didn’t see anything . Isn’t it just swinging a sword?” Sunny looked naive when she questioned him . The viewers were chatting in a similar manner .
-So what the hell should we be seeing?
-Look for a person who saw it .
-Is it visible only when your arena ranking is high?
It was true that only people with good eyes could see it . . .
Teika smiled at the response . “I told you to look well . . . So let’s watch the video at a speed that is twice as slow . ”
He adjusted the playback speed . This was one of the benefits of purchasing a paid video from World . It was possible to slow it down up to eight times . Of course, it could also be fast-forwarded up to eight times . This was the feature that Teika used .
Teika replayed the video and showed Alley Leader’s strike again . It was at a somewhat slower speed than before . Now, something was visible . A dark light momentarily appeared on Alley Leader’s sword . However, it was only for a moment, so no one saw it properly . Even if they did, it was dismissed as something meaningless .
-Can you see anything?
-It is the same .
-I think I saw something . . .
-Don’t lie . There was nothing to see .
“Teika, are you making fun of me right now? Right? You are, right?”
“Sunny, why would I make fun of you? Let’s do it two times more slowly . That’s four times slower than the original video . ”
Teika played the video again with a subtle smile . Now it looked completely slowed down . They could see something . . .
It was a flashing light . They could see a light!
“I saw it! I really saw it!” Sunny ran around excitedly like a little kid .
“Do you know what you saw, Sunny?”
“Um . . . Isn’t it some type of skill?”
“You got it right . It isn’t an instantly activated skill . To be precise, it is pure energy . ”
“Huh? Pure energy?” Sunny’s eyes couldn’t open any wider . It wasn’t an exaggerated performance . She was really surprised .
Pure energy . . .
Sunny might be ignorant about combat, but even she knew how ridiculous this was .
“The pure energy appeared so fast and disappeared? Is this possible, Teika?”
“It is possible . That’s why we saw it, right?”
“Then is it possible for Teika?”
Teika waved his hand at Sunny, who was watching him with shining eyes .
‘If it were possible for me, I wouldn’t have been defeated by Rain . ’
There was no way he could do it himself . Teika had to watch Alley Leader’s video several times before finding it . The light flashing from Alley Leader’s sword .
“Of course not . There is no way I can do that, right?”

“Teika, you worked hard today . Thank you so much for appearing!” Sunny greeted Teika with a voice that was livelier than when she was streaming .
She had been quite restrained today . The reason was simple . Today, Teika was the one analyzing and talking about Alley Leader’s video, not Sunny . She needed this level of discipline .
“No, I also enjoyed today . I hope you’ll call me for another time . I don’t have to be a solo guest . I don’t care if you call someone else . ” Teika was truly delighted . He wasn’t a streamer . So, the streaming that Teika usually appeared in was regarding the arena . There were few cases where he talked like this .
‘Should I also try this type of stream? I think it is worth an hour or two after hunting . . . ’
In Teika’s mind, the desire for streaming blossomed . Just then, there was a slight change in Sunny’s facial expression . It was unknown what happened, but her cheeks were red .
“Then I’ll be leaving first . You must be sure to come next time!”
Sunny quickly disappeared from Teika’s field of view .

“Hasn’t it been a while, Sunny?” A masked man was waiting at the place where Sunny appeared .
“Hello, Alley Leader,” Sunny greeted the man somewhat shyly when she saw him .
Hyeonu requested, “Can’t you just be more like you usually are? You’re acting a bit differently from how you were in the stream I saw just now, so I’m embarrassed . ”
“Okay, why didn’t you get in touch with me in the meantime? Why did you only contact me now?” Sunny changed her attitude and fired at Hyeonu .
Now, this was the person Hyeonu knew . He explained, “I wasn’t ignoring your messages . I wasn’t in a situation where I could appear on your stream . . . In addition, I know I wrote back to you . . . ”
“Ah, is that so? Anyway, why did you contact me today?” Sunny continued the conversation .
‘What will he say?’ Sunny thought about what Alley Leader would say to her .
Would he suggest a joint stream or would he make a guest appearance like he did the other time? Or was he calling upon her as a guest? Many speculations circulated in Sunny’s mind . However, the words that came out from Alley Leader’s mouth were not within her expectations .

“Have you ever thought about becoming a professional gamer? I’m looking for team members right now, and I hope Sunny will join me . ”
They were words she hadn’t expected . She had never even dreamt about it—becoming a pro gamer . So Sunny could only ask again like a fool, “Huh? What are you . . . ”
“It is exactly as I said . I want you to play for the team I am making . It won’t be for a long time, just one season . You only need to help me for exactly one season . ”
Sunny stared at Hyeonu with a dumbfounded expression .
‘Me, a pro gamer?’
The more she listened, the more ridiculous she found it . Sunny, the most famous Arena player whose skills didn’t match her level and equipment, becoming a pro gamer…? Perhaps . . .
“This is a secret camera prank, right? You are trying to trick me just now, right?”
It was the most reasonable thing Sunny could think of . No, this was clearly the reason . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made this suggestion to her .
“No, I really need Sunny . Necromancer is a rare class . It is one of the keys I need to complete the combination I envision . In addition, I don’t think it is bad for Sunny . After a few months of hard work, you’ll have at least three or four times more viewers . ”
After hearing Alley Leader’s sincere words, Sunny struggled to make a decision .
‘What should I do? A pro gamer . . . ’
It was a sudden offer . She needed time to think .
“Do I have to answer right now? Please give me some time to think about it . ”
“Of course . Please contact me within a week . Additionally . . . Crescent Moon doesn’t care about personal streaming at all . ”

Sunny disappeared, and Hyeonu, who was left alone, made a knowing smile .
‘This side has agreed . ’
Based on Sunny’s response, there would clearly be a positive call within three or four days . She was so flustered that she couldn’t answer properly, but if she thought about it slowly, she would realize that his offer was by no means a loss .

‘Think of it as a second job . Think of it as an opportunity to increase your popularity . ’
It was truly like this . There was no loss for Sunny even if her performance in the professional league wasn’t good . Sunny’s dream wasn’t to be a pro gamer, and she didn’t need to be scolded for her poor performance . No one was expecting a great performance from her in the first place . Rather, it was a great opportunity for her to gain exposure .
‘I need to get ready for the stream . ’
Hyeonu rose from his seat . He was recruiting players, but his stream was more important . In particular, today’s stream was pretty important . It would determine if the number of viewers for his last stream was a one-time thing or a number that could be maintained .
‘I’ve been too relaxed . ’
Recently, Hyeonu started recalling his beginnings . It had been a while since he met Moon Doyeong . After meeting this person, Hyeonu returned to the time when he first started streaming . Passion, urgency, and vengeance—these were the things that Hyeonu recalled . The passion remained the same, but the urgency and vengeance had worn out over time . No, as his sense of urgency and vengeance disappeared, his passion became smaller .
‘I have to do it thoroughly . . . ’
Hyeonu remembered his father lying in a hospital bed and clenched his fists .

Before the streaming began, the viewers were only looking at a black screen . Hyeonu sat on the ground, closed both eyes, and simulated today’s stream in his mind .
‘I have to wander around the place I revealed the other day . ’
In the next few days, many large guilds would pour into the Balder Mountains . Not only that, the dark and pure gamers who purely enjoyed the game also left the Hejin Great Mountain Range to move to the Balder Mountains .
‘I need to adjust the speed at which information is released . ’
Hyeonu’s channel and the number of his subscribers were exploding . Now even if the subscribers of the second and third place channels were combined, the total wouldn’t surpass Hyeonu’s number of subscribers . It was truly a great thing; an individual was doing better than two groups .
Yet, Hyeonu wasn’t satisfied at all . His channel was growing faster than expected, but it was still lacking . He wanted at least 200 million views in 24 hours . Until he got that, he would not reveal a deeper location .
Hyeonu’s eyes opened . One side of Hyeonu’s vision was showing the number of viewers currently in his stream .
12 million—it was a huge number . It also proved that the number of viewers for his stream the other day wasn’t an absolute bubble . In the future, the number of viewers would be at least as high as today .
“Hello, everyone! Alley Leader is back . ”
Alley Leader’s stream had begun .
