Chapter 274
12 hours—that was the time it took for a special broadcast to be made about Hyeonu after he posted . In the morning, the Arena professional broadcasting channel hastily produced and showed a broadcast that analyzed Hyeonu’s post . It meant the production had taken place at dawn . This was natural since it wasn’t a live broadcast, and time was needed for editing . Nevertheless, there were still people who felt bothered and disliked it .
“Liu Shei, do you think it is true?”
Liu Shei was very annoyed by the shooting that had been taking place since dawn . Why should he do this to himself? He couldn’t find a reason for sitting here unless he wanted to give up on his sleep .
‘I’m going to die from tiredness . ’
Regardless, Liu Shei hid his heart and responded with a smile, “It must be true . ”
He was a very professional person .
“Why do you think that?” The reporter seemed to think he had grabbed onto something and stared at Liu Shei .
“Isn’t it obvious? Why would Alley Leader lie about such a thing? Isn’t that right? Alley Leader isn’t someone who cares about attention . ” Liu Shei didn’t care about the reporter’s attitude and just said what he wanted to say . He was speaking the truth; there was nothing to think about . “The answer is the same if you ask any other player who knows him . He isn’t the kind of person to joke around, and there is no reason for him to do this . This is Alley Leader, Alley Leader . ”
However, the reporter repeated the same words over and over . There seemed to be an answer that he wanted to hear . He questioned again, “Then Alley Leader’s statement is true? Are you saying that?”
Liu Shei also continued in the same manner, keeping his answer steadfast even as his annoyance soared . ‘Is this jerk crazy? What the hell is this? Aren’t you going to finish shooting?’
He answered, “How many times do I have to say it? Of course, it’s true . ”
Then Liu Shei leaned toward the reporter . He quickly turned off the reporter’s microphone and whispered at a volume so low only the reporter could hear him: “I don’t know what you want to hear, but my answer is the same . In addition, I probably won’t see you next time . ”
Liu Shei picked up a water bottle from the table, took a sip of water, and left .

Was it because it had been controversial for one day? The number of viewers for Hyeonu’s stream increased in a frightening manner and had the momentum of breaking the record for the highest number of individual World viewers . Of course, the previous record was also held by Hyeonu .
[Welcome to Alley Leader’s territory . ]
-Is it true that Alley Leader gained a territory?
-The death penalty if it isn’t true .
-It must be true . There is also a title .
-However, I heard you need a lot of imperial contributions? How did he get it?
-It should be received from New World .
-Shouldn’t they be crazy busy since they just arrived in the East Continent?
-Right? They wouldn’t have time to collect imperial contributions .
Viewers believed that Hyeonu had obtained a territory . They had no choice but to believe it . Alley Leader always told the truth; they had never been deceived . They were just curious about the process . How did he get a territory? Had it been given to him by New World or had he obtained it personally? These were the main questions the viewers had .
“Hello, I am Alley Leader . It is nice to meet everyone . Thank you for watching my live stream today . ”
Hyeonu appeared in a lively manner . He was sitting in what he called the ‘administrative office . ’
“This is a very strange space . It is also unfamiliar to me . I’ve only been here two or three times now . ”
-Where is this?
-We will only know when he says it .
-Everything has always been unfamiliar to us, apart from the arena .
-Yes, we always find it unfamiliar . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Ah, this is a place for a lord . I can see the full information of the estate and decide how to develop it . It is a place where I can apply tax rates and policies . ”
Hyeonu created the territory status window and territory administration window in the air for viewers to see . Of course, the details were made invisible . He just showed that there was something like this .
-It is like playing a different game all of a sudden .
-it is fun to grow a territory .
-No, no . I’ve worked as an administrator in the empire, so I know it is hard . It isn’t fun at all .
-I’ve tried it as well . I’m always arguing with NPCs and players . Last time, I heard people who mistook me for an NPC curse at me . I barely endured it .
‘It is very hard to be an administrator . ’
Basically, the game was for enjoyment, but being an administrator was close to doing work . It was what they did to make money in real life . For administrators, Arena wasn’t just a game but another job .
‘Thus, I asked Nike to help me . ’
In the first place, Hyeonu wouldn’t have asked for help if it had been easy .
“Yes, administrators have a hard time . It is a difficult task . ”
Hyeonu removed the windows and displayed the map of Phinis’ entire territory .
“By the way, I got a territory, but there are many major problems . ”
There were red dots all over the map . When the viewers saw this, they questioned it .
-What are the red dots?

-Are they the problems?
-So the territory is completely smashed?
-The map is dyed red!
The viewers’ doubts were resolved by Hyeonu’s following words .
“As you might’ve expected, a red dot represents a problem . The big circle on the edges of the map shows that the walls have been smashed and need to be repaired . The dots inside show the buildings that have been damaged and need to be repaired . ”
Hyeonu sighed when he finished talking . It wasn’t acting but a heartfelt sigh . The more he saw, the more hopeless he felt . Recovery would take at least a few months .
‘There is no meaning at all . ’
In this way, there was no advantage in gaining the lead in Arena, in the gaming sense at least .
‘Instead, there is more new content for my streaming . . . ’
However, it was comforting that the contents that could be streamed had increased .
“Still, aren’t I the first to get a territory? Even if it is like this . . . ”
-Of course .
-This is the level of gaining an empty field as a territory . . .
-Revival of the territory as a development project?
-With whose money? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Of course, he has to rob a gold coins warehouse . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers seemed to have forgotten their initial surprise . They only thought that Alley Leader’s territory was a mess and that it was a money-eating hippopotamus .
“Shall I stop talking about the sad things and show you around the territory? It is a very cool place . This is Phinis . ”
Hyeonu left the administrative office and broadcasted the landscape of Phinis . The viewers burst out laughing when they saw it . Phinis’ appearance wasn’t good . They couldn’t find any intact buildings . The streets were half smashed, and the debris of the buildings were the only things that proved something existed there in the past .
-What is this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ . This is really Alley Leader’s territory!!
-He got a territory, but isn’t it completely poisonous? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn’t this enough for Quency to eat up his money?
-I acknowledge Quency’s big picture .

While staring at the scene, Hyeonu said, “Construction will take place here starting from tomorrow . I’ve poured a lot of money into it . ”
One day in real time had passed . Hyeonu had done a lot of work in the meantime . He asked Nike for help, and Nike accepted the request and brought employees to Phinis in earnest . Then he had the staff set up the framework for the restoration work of Phinis .
‘It was a good day . ’
For the first time, Hyeonu knew how good it was to have other people . All he had to do was talk from behind, and Nike’s staff did all of it . There was no need for him to do this or that . Hyeonu felt peaceful when he thought about yesterday’s work .
“Earl!”
In the distance, someone screamed for him .
‘Who is it?’
Hyeonu turned his head and saw that it was Johnny . “Johnny, what’s going on?”
“My lord, the commerce group in charge of the construction has arrived . I think you should go see them personally,” Johnny spoke while gasping .
‘They have already arrived?’
It was only yesterday that he told Johnny to find a commerce group to handle the construction yet it had already arrived . As expected, a game was a game . There was just a little bit of realism so that buildings didn’t pop up like magic . At this time, the viewers were staring at the NPC they were seeing for the first time . They were focused on the NPC’s words .
-Earl?
-Did the NPC call him an earl just now?
-What did he win in the meantime?
-No, there seem to be no barons yet . Did he become an earl alone?
-He can gain such a territory if he is an earl, right…?
The viewers were once again stunned . Getting the title of earl was as surprising as obtaining a territory . The reason for that was simple .
-Imperial contributions are needed to gain a territory . Aren’t they also needed to gain a noble title?
-If he became an earl and bought a territory . . .
-Where did he win the imperial contribution lottery?
-Or did New World collect so many imperial contributions?
-Are the other guilds just fooling around? This level difference is too severe . New World seems to be ahead of all the other guilds combined .
The viewers were shocked because they didn’t know the details . Hyeonu hadn’t used any of his imperial contributions in the process of becoming an earl and acquiring a territory . However, this was Hyeonu’s secret . It wasn’t just the viewers . Even Nike didn’t know about it . They would find out one day, but no one knew the truth right now .

Hyeonu didn’t see the messages and walked quickly to the commerce group with Johnny . “How many people have come?”
“There are hundreds . It is said that many commerce groups flocked because it is the earl’s territory . ” Johnny’s face was flushed red, and he barely managed to answer .
“If it’s hard, make your way over slowly . I’ll go ahead and greet them . ” Hyeonu was considerate of Johnny .
“Then I’ll take a five minute break . I’m sorry, My Lord . ”
“Why be sorry? I was able to start construction so quickly thanks to you . ”
“My Lord, the commerce group is at the east gate . ” Upon finishing his words, Johnny sat down, and Hyeonu left him behind .
-In the end, his personality is okay .
-He can be considerate to NPCs .
-He is a good person . There is just a bit of pretension .
-That can be seen as acting cute . ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
Unbeknownst to Hyeonu, he was making a name for himself .
***
Hyeonu called Kale on the way to the eastern gate that Johnny mentioned . It was because he knew nothing about the contractual aspects . On the other hand, Kale had experience in reality, so he learned about the contracts in Arena after constantly talking to Johnny .
“Kale, you arrived first?” Hyeonu saw Kale standing in front of a large crowd and approached quickly .
“We alternate in accessing Arena . It was my turn, so I was able to come right away,” Kale explained .
After accepting Hyeonu’s request, Kale and some of Nike’s employees came to work in the Phinis territory, and Kale was in charge of this job .
“The relationship between commerce groups . . . ”
While Hyeonu was speaking to Kale, dust rose from beyond Phinis’s east gate .
-No, what is this sudden cloud of dust?
-I can’t see .
-Change the perspective!
-Let’s go in third-person .
Once the dust settled, a group of people appeared . The front of the group consisted of people in colorful armor mounted on horses .
“Who are you?!” Hyeonu shouted at them .
