Chapter 325
‘They look like players?’
A group of people caught Hyeonu’s eye just as he was about to end the stream . They were warriors in colorful armor and priests in white robes; it was a party of players .
“Before I finish the stream, let me do an interview with players in Phinis . ”
-That’s a good idea .
-We need the reviews of players with realistic specs, not Alley Leader’s specs .
-Right, right . I need a review from a similar friend .
-Let’s ask intensively about Mount Canary .
The viewers also agreed . They wanted real information—reviews from people like themselves, rather than the ideal Alley Leader .
“Excuse me! Are you a party? Can you give me a bit of your time?” Hyeonu approached the players with a common greeting .
“Is he Alley Leader?”
“It can’t be . Why would Alley Leader here?”
“It’s because it is his territory, idiot . ”
“Isn’t this fake?”
The players exchanged glances as they whispered to each other . Of course, they didn’t forget to glance at Hyeonu as well .
“Perhaps . . . are you Alley Leader?” A boy with a childish face, who was standing at the front of the group, asked Hyeonu .
Hyeonu nodded and replied, “Yes, I am streaming right now . I’m not an impersonator . Would you like me to show you some evidence?”
The players heard Hyeonu’s answer and looked at each other several times .
“Wow, it’s really him?”
“We don’t have to give money or items anyway . ”
“We can do it . It’s just talking . The hunt is over for today anyway . ”
They quickly sorted out their opinions and flocked to Hyeonu .
“Then can we take some authentication shots first?”
“Of course . Who should I take it with?”
“Me!!!”
“Get lost . It should be me . ”
“You get lost . I’m the best . ”
They had young faces and boasted a teenager’s unique beagle-like beauty, [1]
When the Viewers saw this scene, they smiled .
-I also had a lively time like that once . . .
-Cute kids . . .
-How are they so cute . . .
Hyeonu felt the same way . It was like he was seeing Yeongjun, Yeongchan’s little brother .
“I’ll take photos with all of youone by one, so come in turn . I’ll start with that person standing over there,” Hyeonu said . He was kind enough to take photos with them . After taking all the photos, Hyeonu got to the point: “Then I’ll ask a few questions now . Can I do that?”
The group nodded .
“Shall we start with a simple introduction? Just tell me your class and level . ”
Once Hyeonu’s words were over, the players opened their mouths one after another, starting with the boy on the far left .
“I’m level 190, and I have the warrior class . ”
“I’m a level 186 priest . ”
“I’m a level 186 warrior . ”
“I’m a level 193 magician . ”
“I’m a level 191 archer . ”
It was a party of five people .
This was a slightly unusual combination considering that there were usually six people in a party .
‘There are only five?’ Hyeonu wondered about that inwardly before asking out loud, “You are only hunting with five people?”
“We were originally like this . We started together at the beginning,” the boy with disheveled hair answered calmly .
“It is still more efficient to have six people . Why do you only have five people?”
A party of six was better in terms of hunting speed and stability . The reason why rankers moved in groups of six wasn’t that they lacked skills but that it was the most efficient way .

“We are friends in reality . It is comfortable for us to go around like this, so we have no intention of changing it . We just want to enjoy the game . . . ”
‘It is possible if they are real friends . ’ Hyeonu nodded at the answer understandingly . It could be burdensome to add someone they didn’t know to the party, both for them and the new party member . In a way, it was a very wise judgment .
“Then I’m going to ask what the viewers are most curious about . How is the hunting on Mount Canary? Is it hard?”
-Now it’s coming out .
-This is the important thing .
-You can skip the previous introduction .
-This is the de facto main question .
Hyeonu asked the question that was his original purpose—the onethat the viewers wanted answered .
“Mount Canary? It is good . It isn’t particularly hard, and there are few people around . It gives a lot of experience, and the drop rate is pretty good . ”
This was high praise . It listed all the benefits that a hunting player wanted . The field level wasn’t difficult, but it gave high experience and rewards . With low risk and high returns, it had the ideal form .
-Isn’t this a pretense?
-It is suspicious that players were wandering around Phinis at this time .
-Won’t we be completely caught in a trap if we go? Mount Canary might have a hell difficulty, and the experience . . .
However, it was still hard for viewers to accept it . After all, they had to look before they leaped, so they doubted it first .
“Ah, that’s right . There also seems to be many quests? There are quite a few simple, repetitive quests . . . It is worthwhile to come here before going to the Balder Mountains or a field of a similar level . ”
As the disheveled boy continued speaking, the viewers were shaken . His vivid expression was too real for his words to be treated as a lie .
“What about the others behind you? The magician with close-cut hair over there, tell me . ” Hyeonu pointed his finger at the magician in the group .
The magician turned his head to the left and right like he didn’t know who Hyeonu was pointing to . Then once everyone stared at him, he realized that Hyeonu was speaking to him .
“Me?” The magician uttered .
“Yes, you with the close-cut hair . Please tell me . How do you find Mount Canary? What about Phinis?” Hyeonu asked .
“It’s a good place for magicians . The monsters have low magic defense, so the damage will increase rapidly . Everything hits well regardless of attribute . Instead, the monsters are a bit fast . If a tanker or close-range damage dealer can’t stop it, then it will hit straight you away . ” The magician left a pleasant review .
Behind the mask, the corners of Hyeonu’s lips rose like they were going to pierce the sky . It was great that the players only said good things about Phinis .
“Yes, thank you for participating in the interview . I hope you have a good hunt in Phinis . ” Hyeonu ran away before they said anything else .

He had escaped from any accusations . Arriving at the castle with a quick pace, Hyeonu started playing out his final publicity move to the viewers .
“There are quests of good quality, high quality hunting grounds, and a smithy with a dwarf . There is also a huge statue of Tang-E . Why are you hesitating? You can make your way here right now,” Hyeonu said and then paused for a moment .
He didn’t stop for long though . Still, he waited and really took a break .
“Phinis is always waiting for you,” Hyeonu announced with both hands spread wide open .

At a cafe in Sinsadong, the eyes of the people inside were focused on one table where two men were sitting . One was a cute young man with blond hair, and the other was a man who could be called handsome . They drank their drinks, unconcerned about the gazes around them .
“Brother, it seems interesting lately . I want to go to the East Continent . . . ” Mason stared at Hyeonu with a sad expression .
Hyeonu smiled at such a Mason and said, “I will bring everyone soon . . . My work will soon be done, and our teammates still have to clear Laek to some extent . What are you doing now?”
Mason frowned upon hearing Hyeonu’s words .
“Don’t say that . Everyone’s been working hard and doing a good job,” Mason started to actively defend the team’s players when he felt he wouldn’t be going to the East Continent anytime soon .
Yet Hyeonu’s target was Mason, not the other teammates .
“You should work a bit harder . How long are you going to stay there? You should go to the next academy,” Hyeonu said .
Upon getting attacked by Hyeonu, Mason spat his drink back out .
“Pfft . . . No . . . Do you think I don’t want to clear it? Brother, you’re so strong . How can I beat you? I’ll clear it later, later . Don’t worry about it,” Mason spoke with a face full of resentment .
He didn’t want to be stopped there either, but he failed to see the answer every time he challenged it, so he just stopped .
“Yes, well . . . Putting yourself aside, Dwayne is stage 6, Yuri is stage 6, and Lee Hoon is stage 6 . Are you holding hands to clear it or what?” Hyeonu didn’t understand it . Obviously Laek was cleared alone, so it was strange that they were progressing at the same time like a party .
“It is because when one person clears it, they share the approach . It seems the skill levels of the three people are similar . ”
The three of them shared everything about Laek . They thought about how to clear the task through discussions, and if someone passed the stage, they shared the method .
“Seon Hwssi . . . You said she cleared the third stage?” Hyeonu asked as he sipped his drink .
“Sunny? She cleared the third stage yesterday . ”
Sunny’s real name was Seon Hwa . Her surname was Seon, and her given name was Hwa . She barely passed stage three yesterday . It was a great achievement considering her serious lack of control .

“That is better than I expected . I thought she would never be able to clear stage three in her life . Who taught her?”
“We all rushed over to help . Sister Yuri suffered the most . ”
“Amazing, amazing . I wanted to die when I tried teaching her . . . ” Hyeonu admired them .
He knew since he had taught Sunny in the past . Be it her movements or rhythm, she was terrible at the game . Sunny simply played it wrongly .
‘I thought I was going to die from frustration at the time . ’
Hyeonu hadn’t been able to bear the frustration . It was even more so because the difference in capability between him and Sunny was too great; Hyeonu played all games well .
“So take me to the East Continent . The Balder Mountains are no longer interesting . I can’t hunt deep inside, but the starting area is too boring . ”
It had been a long time since Mason began stagnating in the Balder Mountains, and boredom had set in .
“Hold on a bit more . I’ll come to you in a few days . However, there is really nothing different about the East Continent . It doesn't make a big difference,” Hyeonu spoke like it wasn’t a big deal .
Mason’s expression distorted when he heard it .
“That is because you are you . We haven’t been there yet, so how can you say that?” Mason shot up onto his feet .
“Okay, I understand, I understand . I’ll bring you over by all means,” Hyeonu said while smiling at Mason .

“You’re here?”
Instead of his usual sloppy outfit, Chen Long was dressed up when he met Hyeonu . He exuded a noble temperament while dressed in dark robes with an embroidered blue dragon, which looked like a dragon up in the night sky .
“It seems we are going somewhere really important today? You sure aren’t playing around with your outfit,” Hyeonu remarked .
When he heard Hyeonu’s words, Chen Long smiled and said, “This is the uniform of the Cheonryong Group . It has been a long time since I’ve worn it . It’s also the clothes I will wear from today on . ”
Chen Long’s eyes narrowed, and he scanned Hyeonu’s entire body . Then he said, “Take out your weapon . I’m not sure if anything will happen, but . . . you should be prepared . ”
“I understand,” Hyeonu replied and pulled out the Mysterious Sky Sword hanging from his waist .
“Then come along . I will show you the rotten flesh of the Samsungga today . ”
Chen Long’s long robes fluttered as he walked .
