Chapter 251
“Are you talking to me?” It was Johannes .
After losing contact with Dorma, Johannes teleported to the spot where the monument was located . Unlike Hyeonu’s sharp shout a moment ago, this time he called out Johannes’ name in a relaxed voice, “Johannes . ”
-Who is Johannes?
-What are they talking about?
-It looks like a NPC, not a player?
-Is it the NPC related to the main scenario?
Viewers who didn’t know about Johannes were wondering about his identity, but Hyeonu couldn’t afford to watch the chat window now .
‘Why is he here? If he intended to appear, why not appear before I encountered the drake or after I’ve broken the monument?’
Hyeonu had a sharp expression unlike his soft words . He wasn’t happy about the appearance of a variable .
“What is it? Why are you looking at me? You have to smash the monument . ” Johannes pointed to the monument with an expression that seemed to be wondering, ‘Why look at me?’
“I know . ” The moment Hyeonu answered, he lightly touched the monument and injected it with magic power . There was a rustling of wind, and the monument shattered . The sight of the huge monument collapsing was quite spectacular .
[Monument destruction 1/1]
Johannes reached out when he saw that the monument had completely collapsed . “Reverse . ”
-What?
-Is this a hidden camera prank?
-What is this?
It was an unbelievable sight . The viewers doubted their eyes . It was the same for Hyeonu . “Why is it again . . . ?”
The shattered monument returned to its original shape like a rewinding video .
“Do you think you can represent the adventurers? The rest of them have to take the test . This was decided on at the clan meeting . 1,000 people—this is the number that has to pass the test before the East Continent is fully opened . ”
Johannes flicked his fingers, and a golden glow covered Hyeonu’s body . Then Johannes stated, “From this moment on, you will be able to pass through the Balder Mountains . ”
[Cruise Mountain Conquest has been cleared . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
[You can move to the East Continent . ]
The message windows that emerged in front of Hyeonu announced the success of the quest .
‘Phew . It wasn’t a hit in the back of the head . ’
Hyeonu was relieved . He had been anxious that Johannes was playing with him at the end there .
‘Though, isn’t it pretty fun when I think about it?’
Hyeonu’s feelings were quickly reversed . He found something pretty interesting in Johannes’ words .
“Then this test is . . . ?” Hyeonu trailed off .
It was to suppress his laughter that wanted to emerge . No matter how he thought about it, this seemed really fun . He continued, “Don’t they have to kill it again? It isn’t fair if I’m the only one killing it . They didn’t do anything, since this is what I did . Isn’t that right?”
Johannes smiled . “Of course . They have to kill a drake . ”
Hyeonu stared into Johannes’ eyes and smiled like Johannes . “There are many drakes in the Balder Mountains . ”
***
Johannes left quickly . He was a busy dragon . The reason for it was the hole he had dug for himself, so he had to work hard without complaining .
“Everyone, did you hear it? You have to kill a drake if you want to go to the East Continent . Kuhehe,” Hyeonu laughed frivolously . Now he felt lighter than any other streamer .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This personality ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-My happiness is the misery of others .
-I killed it, so you should too .
-Is the second dullahan situation going to appear?
The dullahan situation had happened when Hyeonu was in the army . The final boss of the scenario had been a dullahan . The players had failed to kill it, and they had been unable to complete the scenario . This incident could be reproduced as the drake was too strong .
“I won’t clear it for them . It’s none of my business if others go to the East Continent or not . Won’t I be able to proceed with the content of the East Continent alone?”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do it all alone .
-Still, you’re part of New World, so you should be the bus for them .
“Of course, I must go together with New World . In addition, there are some people I’m thankful to . I’m thinking of killing it a few more times for them . ”
Hyeonu had the intention of helping some guilds with the raid . He was thinking of taking responsibility for New World, which he belonged to, as well as Red Bull America, the New York Warriors, and Kowloon, which had readily accepted his request .
‘Somehow, there are places where I keep getting involved in . ’
He had no choice but to do so . They were the only people he’d met .
-Even bus tickets can be sold .
-How much will it cost?
-I’m a third advancement priest . Please take me just once . ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Leader Big Fan has gifted you 33 gold coins .
-I Also Want to Go to the East Continent has gifted you 77 gold coins .
-Distinguished Military Service has gifted you 81 gold coins .
The viewers started to ask Hyeonu to act as their bus driver . They wanted to go to the East Continent and experience new content .
‘Hmm . . . ’
They wanted it so desperately they even gave gold coins . Hyeonu saw this and became distressed . Should he act as a bus for the audience members?
“Of course, it’s not that I can’t kill the drake . Everyone knows it is because you don’t have the ability to join the bus, right? I can handle five or six people tagging along . I’m not that weak a person . ”
It seemed he could take responsibility for one party .
-Then pick me!!!
-Prove that it works!
-So what is the problem?
The viewers chatted like they were going to grab hold of Hyeonu . However, Hyeonu didn’t make a decision . It wasn’t a light matter to publicly help with someone else’s raid—no, to take a bus .
‘If I do this well . . . Can’t I tie it to Lee Hoon’s recruitment?’
Hyeonu had a good idea just then .
“However, isn’t there a problem with this type of bus? I feel like a proxy knight . ”
He started throwing the bait—bait for the big picture .
-Why is this like being a proxy knight?
-It isn’t a big deal .
-That seems to be the only thing in common .
The viewers naturally took the bait . They coveted the food of the East Continent more than anything else, so it was natural that they couldn’t resist it .
“Think about it . What do the usual bus players pay?”
-Cash .
-Gold .
-That .
“Yes, they pay for it . Then what about the proxy knights?”
-Cash .
-Gold .
-That .
The same answers came from the audience . Then Hyeonu asked the audience one more question, “So how do we look at the person taking the bus or the proxy knight?”
-With contempt .
-Materialistic .
-They solve everything with money .
“It doesn’t look good . Then what about a pro gamer becoming a proxy knight or a bus driver? Is this okay?”
-Of course not .
-Why a proxy knight . . . ?
An answer showing the negative perception of viewers emerged . Hyeonu smiled . “Then why ask me to be a bus when I’m making my professional gaming debut next season? Ask another streamer . I can’t do it . I’m going to be a pro gamer . ”
-N-No!
-I want to go to the East Continent!
-Do you have to be a pro?
-Just stream with us, Alley Leader . The pro scene isn’t a good place to stay . There are too many dirty kids .
“I think I am lacking a challenge if I don’t play as a pro gamer . Isn’t this socially good? Rather, I’ll accept it if I am criticized . Perhaps if I say that I am driving a bus, every community will turn me into powder . Isn’t that right?”
-Probably . . . ?
-There are kids like that . They have problems with their own personality, but they only criticize other people .
-They boil over without knowing the situation . Even if it’s true, they pretend they don’t know .
-Aren’t they totally just tabloid reporters? Like the paparazzi taking photos . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers let out roasts like feeding firewood to a campfire . There was hardly anyone who watched Alley Leader’s stream but didn’t go to the communities . Seven or eight out of 10 viewers did . What was the best gossip in the community in recent years? It was the matter Hyeonu created—the controversy about the ‘debut of a proxy knight as a pro gamer’ .
There was a lot of noise about this subject . It was a topic that surfaced recently, so there was a lot to say .
“In any case, I have to think about this issue . It isn’t a light matter . Moreover, since it’s 1,000 people . . . Well, it won’t end soon . There is a lot of time, everyone . ”
Hyeonu cut off the topic precisely . He needed to do push and pull . It meant nothing to burn strongly; it was important to last longer .
‘I can grow this firepower . ’
***
Hyeonu ended the stream and started the settlement . Pulling up all the last message windows in front of him, he looked at them closely one by one . He was being meticulous so that he didn’t miss anything .
‘The greatest harvest will be when I go to the East Continent . ’
The videos taken from the East Continent were still steady sellers . The number of views per day rose from hundreds of thousands to over a million . Gamers were always craving for new content, and this was the most beneficial to Hyeonu .
‘I got a good amount of experience . ’
With the experience he got from killing the drake, the red-blooded Dorma, and the experience he received from Johannes, Hyeonu had already gained two levels .
‘Level 240 . . . ’
Other players would be astounded to hear it . It was a ridiculous level-up rate .
‘Based on this, I don’t think the gap with Rain will be large . ’
In the case of the overall character level ranking, it was only shown when registered directly with Quency . Of course, IDs could be hidden . Nevertheless, there were no idiots who would hide it . Currently, streamers and rankers risked their lives to gain such rankings .
‘I will register in the rankings soon . ’
Hyeonu scoured his inventory with an expectant face . Inside the inventory, there were items that Dorma had dropped . It wasn’t one item but three . There was a shiny red bead and a gold bead that looked like 23K pure gold . Lastly, there was leather that was slightly larger than Hyeonu’s palm . It looked exactly like Dorma’s scales .
“Uhahaha!” Hyeonu burst out laughing after seeing the three items .
He couldn’t stand it . Three items . . .
There were three! Even if they were material items, all three items were different . The Tyrant Caruso set that Hyeonu was currently wearing had been made by processing such material items .
‘I can roughly grind them down and make earrings or rings . . . ’
“Ohuhu . . . ” Hyeonu laughed as he imagined it . He laughed for a long time before picking up a bead from the ground . It was the red bead . Hyeonu’s hands were trembling from his expectations .
‘Item Information!’
Hyeonu read the item information carefully . At first, he couldn’t hide his excitement . Then as he continued reading, his expression darkened, and he eventually smashed the bead in his hand onto the ground .
“Shit!”
