“Where? Where are they?” Tang-E turned his head at Hyeonu’s whisper, but he couldn’t see any people . “Master dude is cheating me again . ”
Tang-E held onto Hyeonu’s leg and waved . It wasn’t Hyeonu who responded to Tang-E’s actions though . Instead, it was the viewers watching the broadcast who reacted .
-Ugh, my heart . . .
-My heart is thumping .
-I will go and buy a pet egg .
-My Love Tang-E has gifted you 77 gold coins .
‘Tang-E is more popular than me?’
Both Hyeonu and the viewers had forgotten something . Hyeonu’s current location was the arena .
[The ranking battle has started . ]
“That’s right . Tang-E, give me some buffs . ”
Tang-E shook his head at Hyeonu’s words . “I don’t want to . Master dude, I won’t give them until you apologize . ”
Time passed as Hyeonu and Tang-Esquabbled .
“I’ll give you a horse ride . ”
“I understand . I’ll forgive you this time . I’ll have no scruples next time, Master dude . ”
Hyeonu was forced to suggest the condition of being a horse, and Tang-E immediately grabbed it as if he had been waiting for it .
[You have received Bear’s Momentum . ]
[Physique has increased . ]
[Strength has increased . ]
[You have received the Forest's Blessing . ]
[Defense has increased . ]
[Health will continue to recover . ]
Hyeonu felt the power that took his breath away . “Sigh . I will do the last one properly . Everyone, look forward to it . ”
At the end of Hyeonu’s terrifying words, the opposing warrior rushed toward Hyeonu .
‘Five minutes is enough to fight . ’

For the viewers, Hyeonu’s quest didn’t seem to exist anymore . Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the little teddy bear, Tang-E .
-This cute pet can give buffs?
- ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ It seems to be at least unique rated .
-Will Tang-E also become a BJ? (Broadcast jockey)
Still, this was only for a moment . Once the ranking battle began, everyone’s eyes returned to Hyeonu .
-Wow, how can he do that with that long blade? I don’t understand it .
-If you could understand it, then you would be ranked .
Hyeonu was fighting a fierce battle as promised . Unlike before, his opponent was a player who knew a bit about how to fight . He was a level 110 player who was ranked within the millions in the arena . The ranking was something that could never be obtained by playing around .
‘It is really strong from here . ’
In the first place, a level 110 fighting a level 50 player was nonsense . For a typical player, this match would’ve finished in an instant . Yet Hyeonu defied that . In fact, he fought in a boiling manner . The warrior swung his longsword with a momentum that seemed like it would split apart Hyeonu’s head .
Hyeonu didn’t avoid it this time . He raised the Dwarf’s Sword and blocked it . Then he stepped forward and bounced it back . The warrior’s sword turned to the sky and his posture collapsed . Hyeonu didn’t miss this gap . He used only a snap of the wrist to aim at his opponent’s neck with his longsword .
It was a counterattack . Blood flowed from his opponent’s neck .
‘It is light . ’
“This much won’t work,” the other party stated as he didn’t suffer from the blow . He used his skill to pull his body back in that moment .
“How are you keeping up with me? Aren’t you doing pretty well?” The warrior said as he stepped back .
“Is it this?” The warrior stuck together his thumb and index finger to make an O pattern . It was a gesture to indicate an arena proxy .
“No, I’m a streamer . I am called ‘Alley Leader’ . ” Hyeonu waved his hand without lifting his longsword . “I’m broadcasting right now . If you win, you can be dissolute . So give me an opportunity to enjoy the glory of the sword . ”
Hyeonu finished speaking and rushed toward his opponent . He couldn’t afford to waste time . There were only two minutes left until Giant’s Power was over . Tang-E’s buffs would last another four minutes . The odds of success were slimmer once these two buffs disappeared .
‘Too bad . I have fewer skills . ’
As the battle progressed, Hyeonu felt that he was lacking in skills . He didn’t have many skills, and he didn’t have any immediate type skills . Hyeonu only had Bash and Heavy Blow . If he had one more movement skill, then clearly victory would be in his hands .
He couldn’t help feeling regretful . The supplement would have to be done after this ranking battle . The important thing now was to win this ranking battle . Two quests were at stake on the victory of this match .
Hyeonu checked the remaining time—30 seconds . It was time for him to take the last gamble . He had the upper hand right now . Hyeonu had never been hit properly . Meanwhile, his opponent was pale and had small wounds all over his body . If this were maintained, victory would belong to Hyeonu . However, there was no guarantee that this would be able to continue after the buffs were over .
‘I’m going to release it all this time . ’

Hyeonu’s sword threw back the opponent’s sword . It was the same pattern as before . However, the warrior's response was different . The warrior didn’t know Hyeonu’s circumstances . He thought he was losing and used a skill .
20 seconds . . .
A green light emanated from the warrior’s longsword . It was sword energy . Hyeonu also created a strong blue light . Now it was a fight without any hindrances .
15 seconds . . .
Hyeonu and the warrior had a short pause where they controlled their breathing . Each of them seemed to be preparing their final blow .
10 seconds . . .
Hyeonu and the warrior rushed at each other again .

The warrior’s sword split apart the air . Hyeonu’s sword cut the warrior’s neck .

[-Victories in the arena 100/100]

‘I won!!!’
Hyeonu almost forgot to stream because of his victory . However, the bomb of gold coins awakened Hyeonu .
-Get 10,000 If You Win has gifted you 9,999 gold coins .
-100 Consecutive Victories has gifted you 100 gold coins .
“Thank you Get 10,000 If You Win for the 9,999 gold coins . Thank you 100 Consecutive Victories for the 100 gold coins . I will use it well . ”
Once the unbelievable amount of 10,000 coins exploded, Hyeonu forgot how hard it had been so far and felt strength rise in his body .

‘This is the power of capitalism!’
However, it was only for a short time . Hyeonu had been doing the ranking battle for more than 10 hours . It was impossible for him not to feel exhausted .
“Then I am going to end the streaming for today . My next stream will be at 6 p . m . on Friday . ”
-Show the teddy bear!!!
-The bear please!!
The viewers clamored for Tang-E to show up, but Hyeonu had already ended the live stream .
“Oh, I’m going to die . ”
Once his first live stream ended, Hyeonu collapsed on the sofa in the living room . He no longer had the strength to even lift a finger . Streaming was very stressful . There was nothing comfortable about it . Arena was Arena while chatting was chatting . He had to worry about his words and deeds and take care of everything .
“Why, is it hard? You will adapt after one or two more . ” Yeongchan handed water to the stretched out Hyeonu .
Yeongchan knew this feeling himself . Even now, sometimes his entire body was covered with sweat after finishing a stream . It was obviously different from just enjoying Arena . However, if one was supported by skill and luck, then becoming successful in Arena went far beyond simply selling items and uploading videos . That’s why he recommended live streaming to Hyeonu . It might be difficult now, but it was the only way .
“Still, you would’ve made a lot of money . No?”
“That’s right, my gold coins!!!”
Hyeonu’s spirit flashed when he heard this . Why did he suffer this? Everything was for the gold coins . Hyeonu connected to World using Yeongchan’s laptop .
“Where is it? Where? Is this it?” Hyeonu desperately searched for the settlement page .
Then Yeongchan reached out and clicked the settlement page . “Eh?”
“What is this? Why is it so much?” Hyeonu was stunned when he saw the number of gold coins .
Yeongchan was also pressing the refresh button in a disbelieving manner . “Isn’t this an error? Why is it so high?”
1,000 won per 1 gold . . .
57,384 gold coins . . .
57,384,000 won . . .
He had hit the jackpot . It was truly amazing .
“Yeongchan, let’s have jajangmyeong and sweet and sour pork today . No, spicy fried chicken and mixed vegetables and seafood!! I will give you a treat!” Hyeonu shouted with joy .
No one knew if this amount of gold coins would burst in the next stream . Nevertheless, he was not worried .
“Sweet and sour pork, mixed vegetables and seafood, spicy fried chicken and . . . ” Yeongchan was already ordering from a Chinese restaurant .
Hyeonu’s first live stream was successful . The waves brought about by Alley Leader’s streaming were larger than anyone had expected . This was a huge tsunami that destroyed areas which already existed . The damage was huge to those who had vested interests .
One of the victims was Marco, the guild leader of the giant guild ‘Mano’ . He didn’t feel good because he had been hearing bad news since morning .
“Funding has been reduced . The sponsors won’t renew unless we reduce the amount in the contract . ”
“What is the reason? Have we lost our shares lately?”
Patrick, who was in charge of Mano’s real-life aspects, mentioned Hyeonu in response to Marco’s question, “It is due to Alley Leader . Sponsors are snooping in that direction . Our main content is in the arena, and the arena side seems to have turned completely . ”
Marco knocked on his forehead . “Alley Leader, Alley Leader . . . ”
He thought for a long time before opening his mouth, “What level is he at?”
“He is at level 50 . It was revealed yesterday, so I think the margin of error is within three levels . ”
“Recruit him or step on him so I never see him again . ”
“I understand . ”
Those who were looking for Hyeonu started to appear . Most of them were those with vested interests or wanted to have a vested interest .
Hyeonu was sitting in a corner of Lebron’s mansion with a teddy bear sitting on his shoulder . The reason why Hyeonu was here was simple . Hyeonu visited Lebron to meet the emperor . Then on the way to meeting Lebron, he thought about it .
“Ah, I received a reward . The quest . ”
Hyeonu looked around before sitting in a corner and checking his title and inventory .
[Achieved 100 Consecutive Wins]
[-Title given to the first player to achieve 100 consecutive victories in the arena .
Effect: There is a 20% increase in damage against humanoid monsters (including PvP) during combat . ]
“Oh, good . ” Hyeonu clapped like a seal . Then Tang-Eclapped as well .
The title had fairly decent effects . There were quite a few humanoid monsters in Arena . They were often met when doing quests . PvP was also included, so it would clearly have an effect in the arena and in sieges . Hyeonu’s heart swelled when he checked the item he had obtained as a reward .
“A ring?”
Hyeonu’s hand grabbed a small ring . The only item in his inventory that he did not recognize was this ring, so it was clearly the reward . Before he finished his second class changed, he could only wear two rings on one hand . After the second class change, two slots were added, and he was allowed to wear four .
Thus, Hyeonu removed Dell’s Ring and put on this little ring . Then a message appeared that made Hyeonu doubt his eyes .
“Eh?”
