Chapter 241
During the time when Hyeonu was using every effort to recruit Heder, something big was happening in the Balder Mountains . The large guilds said ‘Overthrow Alley Leader!’ and formed an alliance . The last two big profits were gained by Alley Leader . So this time, an alliance was formed to stop him .
This was quite an unusual thing—an alliance of large guilds that only they knew about . It was really amazing . However, the secret didn’t last long . The rumor spread quickly . It was true that there were no secrets when there were many people involved . This information was passed onto the other guilds that supported Hyeonu . Various guild leaders and vice-leaders gathered to prepare a countermeasure .
“In that case, shall we join together?” Liu Shei said carefully . Liu Shei was conscious of the man before him, Gang Junggu . In fact, after their encounter in reality, he became even more cautious of Gang Junggu . Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu were people who couldn’t be compared with those in Arena, and Tian Hu was no match for them . If Tian Hu was Iced Americano full of ice, they were espressos . Moreover, they were of a thick full-bodied roast .
‘The guy who laughs well among those monsters is also amazing . ’
Liu Shei was once again amazed by Alley Leader, who mingled with them without hesitation .
Gang Junggu spoke toward Liu Shei, who had a strange expression, “We have to come together . It will take them at least one or two weeks to get here . The Balder Mountains isn’t a place that is easy to break through just because there are many people . ”
The Balder Mountains were never simple . There was a possibility that the monsters would flock, and they would all be wiped out instantly . Everyone nodded and expressed their agreement .
“One or two weeks? That’s too short . It will take a long time since they’re just basing off the information they can get from Alley Leader’s streams . The place after the entrance is the problem . Once they cut down the black-maned lions, they will have no more information . ”
The people present knew that better than anyone else . This place was completely different from the Hejin Great Mountain Range . The difficulty jumped by several times . Anthony, who joined the alliance later, murmured, “Fortunately, there are the videos sent by that person . Otherwise . . . ” He was the master of Blaine, the guild recruited by Reina . He was also a single-digit ranker and a grandmaster in the arena, but Hyeonu had never met him before .
“It was helpful to watch the videos . Then we could gather the magicians to cope with the situation . Even if our items are a bit lacking, the attribute damage is powerful,” JT Telecom’s Kim Jinyong added to Anthony’s words .
He felt that JT Telecom would’ve taken a tremendous amount of time to break through the Balder Mountains if it wasn’t for Alley Leader’s videos . Of course, Kim Jinyong would never have imagined that in the end, Hyeonu had a plan for him . This was the reason why JT Telecom was able to participate in the main scenario and why Mascherano had called them .
“Then how about joining the camps together and doing group actions from today? I think we also need to go deeper in accordance with the schedule . . . ” Mascherano disagreed carefully .
He had to be cautious . Among the people gathered here, there were representatives from only three professional clubs—Red Bull America, New York Warriors, and JT Telecom . Professional teams had a fixed schedule due to the league, so they couldn’t hunt at will . Mascherano thought this was a disadvantage that the guilds didn’t have .
“Then what if we split into two? It will be centered around Red Bull America and New York Warriors . It will be impossible to combine these two teams because they have conflicting schedules,” Mano’s Patrick corrected Mascherano’s comments .
However, JT Telecom’s schedule wasn’t taken into account at all . Despite also being a professional team, they were treated just like Patrick’s group, the Mano Guild . Then Gang Junggu, the oldest one and the organizer of this meeting, spoke up immediately, “That sounds good . Do you all agree? If you agree, please raise your right hand . ”
Everyone raised their right hand and agreed with Patrick . Now there was only one matter remaining to coordinate . How should the guilds be divided?
“We will talk about how to split it up . Mascherano is here, and Reina will be on the other side . ” Gang Junggu started coordinating the guilds . He placed Mascherano and Reina in front of him and then assigned people to each group .
“Since you’ve brought them into the alliance, shouldn’t you take them with you? JT Telecom and the Tank Corps, stand next to Mascherano . Likewise, Blaine can stand next to Reina . ”
Now there were four guilds remaining—New World, Behemoth, Mano, and Kowloon . Two were strong, and two were weak . Among the four, New World and Kowloon were strong while Behemoth and Mano were on the weak side .
Gang Junggu recalled the names of the remaining guilds and frowned . It was because the situation was unlikely to work out the way he wanted .
‘I would love to bring Liu Shei . . . ’
However, Mano was brought in by New World and had to be with New World .
“Then New World and Mano will join the New York Warriors . Behemoth and Kowloon should join Red Bull America, and it will look right . ”
One side had New World, Mano, Blaine, and New York Warriors, while the other had Red Bull America, JT Telecom, Tank Corps, Kowloon, and Behemoth . The two sides of Red Bull America and New York Warriors were well balanced . No one made any complaints .
Gang Junggu continued to speak to them, “Starting from tomorrow, we will use New World’s camp here . You just have to consult with each other about the hunting time and let me know . ”
Five people, including Mascherano, gathered in a circle to talk . They were probably adjusting their schedules . Gang Junggu saw this and pressed his lips together .
‘There is a minimum level of security . ’
It was bad enough to have this many variables just once .

After exercising in the morning, Hyeonu moved his stiff body and sat on the massage chair . He was holding something in each hand . His left hand held a protein bar, while his right hand held a smartphone . Hyeonu chewed on the chocolate-flavored protein bar while smiling . He was reading an email from Gang Junggu with a brief summary of the current situation .
‘The situation . . . is okay . ’
It wasn’t what he expected, but it was true that many guilds had run into the Balder Mountains .
‘They can’t all follow me anyway . ’
It was a conviction that only Hyeonu could have since he knew the most information about the Balder Mountains . The Balder Mountains wasn’t a place that could be entered in just a short time using large numbers . Hyeonu got up from the massage chair and grabbed his laptop .
‘Shall I see how much it has increased?’
He checked it before the streaming yesterday, and the video of him killing the purple ogre had around 100 million views . Starting from today, the guilds that joined Hyeonu were scheduled to begin streaming .
‘Once the new guilds are added, people’s interests will grow . '
What one in ten people saw was different from what one in five people saw . People were instinctively reluctant to be ignored . As a result, there were people who would be forced to watch .
“160 million?” Hyeonu exclaimed with surprise since the number was larger than expected . The number of views had increased like Hyeonu predicted, but the actual number exceeded his expectations .
‘60 million in one day . . . ’
The number of views was growing rapidly even now . Hyeonu soon figured out the reason why . There were people promoting Alley Leader’s channel in their live streams .
-There are many videos of the Balder Mountains when you go to Alley Leader’s channel .
-Don’t you know that the main scenario is Alley Leader’s?
-Go to Alley Leader’s channel to enjoy it all packaged in solo mode . There are many good videos .
‘What? This?’
Hyeonu thought the situation was absurd, but he didn’t care about it much . Why? It was because it was a good thing . What could he say to those who were promoting him without pay? He just had to accept it .
‘Well, it could be something that Nike did . ’
Hyeonu expressed gratitude to those who were active .
***
Hyeonu walked through the Balder Mountains with a thin booklet in one hand, and Tang-E in the other .
‘Now around half of the Balder Mountains is complete . ’
Gang Junggu had written in his email that other guilds had joined forces to enter the Balder Mountains, which meant there were additional completed maps that could be gained . The paper booklet Hyeonu held contained the Balder Mountains maps that had been collected from other guilds .
‘Looking at this, I don’t think there is much left . . . ’
A few days after receiving the guides, Hyeonu madly broke through the Balder Mountains in a straight line . He didn’t stop until he arrived at a field where hunting alone would be difficult . Unlike before, he didn’t go around; he just pierced through in a straight line .
“Where is the right place? Let me make a guess . Ding dong daeng dong dang dong daeng dong daeng!”
Hyeonu stood on top of the highest mountain peak in the area . From here, the surroundings were clearly visible . There were no more than three mountains visible from this peak . It meant one of those three was the Cruise Mountain that Hyeonu was looking for . The problem was that he felt it wouldn’t be easy to get there .
‘Do I have to hunt somewhere else until my brothers come?’
He didn’t have to do it alone . There was still plenty of time . Hyeonu’s current location was too far in for him to be anxious that anyone would catch up .
‘I think it would be nice to level up and raise my skill proficiency . ’
Furthermore, Hyeonu still remembered the last colony of legion worker ants . Dozens—no, hundreds of them had swarmed . This meant there would surely be a field or dungeons where the legion worker ants came from .
‘No other guilds can come . ’
There would be enough time for Hyeonu and his brothers to clear one dungeon . Additionally, there was one more thing . If the other guild alliances made a mistake, then it was obvious that more viewers would rush to Hyeonu’s stream . Hyeonu and his guild alliance were at the center of the main scenario . Who would watch the streams of other guilds that were just touching the surface? It was impossible unless the viewers had a great deal of loyalty . People always wanted the fastest, and currently, the fastest one was Hyeonu .
‘There are many things that will tilt toward me . ’
Everything was working out in Hyeonu’s favor . It was natural as this was a situation he had found and made . Hyeonu overturned the playing board that others set up, and he devoured it greedily . The possibility of giving what he had made to other people made him lose his spirit but he had to do it .
‘Yes, let’s look for an ant dungeon . ’
Hyeonu ended his short troubles . This time, he should pay more attention to stability, instead of gambling .
‘I will bring it out during the stream to make things hotter . ’
The title of Alley Leader’s next stream would be ‘Ant Dungeon Exploration . ’ Thus, Hyeonu briefly departed from the sixth main scenario .
