“Guys, what are you doing?”

Jeong Byeongjin headed out of the supervisory room and headed downstairs to where the players of JT Tele lived .
“Coach, you’ve come . ”
“Hyung, you’re here? I’m watching a video now . ” Kim Jinyong, the eldest brother of the JT Telecom Arena team and a player with the priest class, welcomed Jeong Byeongjin . The age difference between them was two years . Their relationship went beyond that of coach and player, and they were like brothers .
“What’s going on? Are you watching Arena videos? Why do you care about this? Isn’t the level low?” Jeong Byeongjin looked at it doubtfully . It was strange to see guys who usually didn’t like to learn from Arena videos watching a video spontaneously .
“Hyung, isn’t this a different standard? It’s the class . The class is different . ”
Jeong Byeongjin sat down next to Kim Jinyong . They showed him the footage that they were watching, restarting from the beginning .
“Hyung, do you know Alley Leader? It is amazing that he can do a raid solo . Don’t you think he is better than the German swordsman or the American madman?”
The fuss that Kim Jinyong was making caused Jeong Byeongjin to crumple quietly . He remembered the disastrous past with Hyeonu .
“Yes, he’s good, but these words . . . ”
“Hyung, do you see this? This standard is enough to be one of the top [1] in raids . The other kids can’t compare . ”
Kim Jinyong kept interrupting Jeong Byeongjin and uttering words without a break . The more he spoke, the more miserable Jeong Byeongjin’s expression became .
“Hyung, stop . I think the coach has something to say . . . ” JT Telecom’s youngest and best-natured member, Yoo Bin, blocked Kim Jinyong’s mouth .
“Yes, I only have you, Yoo Bin,” Jeong Byeongjin sent his full trust to Yoo Bin before continuing . “It isn’t anything . It’s just that Alley Leader is preparing content . ”
“Content? What does that have to do with us, Coach?” Yoo Bin asked Jeong Byeongjin . The rest of the players didn't speak, but they expressed their thoughts with their expressions . What did this have to do with them?
“The content is PvP . Players will hide their identity, wear masks like Alley Leader, and face off against other players . The other players are likely to be big guilds, unless they are pro-gamers like us . Of course, there may also be famous streamers . ”
There was a moment of silence in the area . Everyone was speechless with shock . Kim Jinyong, who had nothing to do with PvP, was the first to come to his senses and open his mouth . “So are we going to go?”
“It has yet to be determined . The front desk has to give permission . ”
Jeong Byeongjin shook his head . It was useless for them to agonize among themselves when they had yet to be given permission . It was just a waste of time .
“I would like to go,” someone interjected at this moment . It was Jung Hanbaek, who was sitting in a corner of the sofa . His eyes were full of enthusiasm .
“Hanbaek? I know you want to go but . . . ” Jeong Byeongjin swallowed his words, not wanting to disappoint his players with an unconfirmed story .
Jung Hanbaek muttered, “If I can appear, please help me do so . It doesn’t matter . . . ”
Jeong Byeongjin saw that Jung Hanbaek’s eyes were filled with strange emotions . There was a desire and craving for one thing—the one thing Jung Hanbaek wanted . When he first saw Jung Hanbaek, Jeong Byeongjin thought it was just a desire to win .

Now he knew exactly what it was—honor . It was an extreme obsession with honor .
‘He has too much of an obsession with honor . He has no desire for money because he is a rich kid . It will be hard to stop him . ’
“I will go now . Rest a bit, then play the game . ”
Jeong Byeongjin left the lodging area with a feeling of uneasiness .
As usual, Hyeonu was collecting information around the Arena community . He didn’t need to do it himself . Nike could send him what he really needed . However, it was necessary for Hyeonu . The quality of Nike’s information was high, but there was nothing very helpful for Hyeonu right now . What was the point of investment information if he didn’t have any money? He needed to know specific information that could make him money right away .
“There is an orc in Frozen Canyon?”
Just then, an article caught Hyeonu’s eyes .
[The Orc in Frozen Canyon Yesterday]
-Recently, I encountered something strange while hunting with guild members in Frozen Canyon .
An orc is wandering around in fur by himself .
“An orc in fur? Kukukuk . ” Hyeonu smiled as he imagined a muscular orc wearing a fur coat . Hyeonu was distracted by the force that seemed to suck in his spirit and continued reading the article .
-I thought it was a jackpot . I thought about it and took my guild members to speak to the orc .
It was obviously an NPC . Then while talking, there was a nuance that made it seem like he was asking for food . That must be it . It had to be an NPC that gave a great quest .
Thus, I brought out all the dishes in my inventory . I didn’t even give them to my guild members .
Do you know the funny thing? Once the orc ate the food, he just said thank you and left .
My 500 gold . . .
Anyone hunting in Frozen Canyon should beware . There is someone who will eat and then leave .

P . S . The orc looks young . It states that his name is Cancun .
“Kikikik . ” Hyeonu couldn’t stop laughing . To think there was a stupid person like this… They gave food that was worth hundreds of gold to an orc and yet did not receive any reward?
“Cancun? It is a name I’ve heard before . . . ”
Hyeonu tried to grab at the strings of memories that flew past .
“Ah! The runaway orc!”
How many minutes did he spend thinking about it? Then Hyeonu finally came up with something . Where had he heard the name ‘Cancun’? The monstrous orc chieftain . . . Cancun was Raccoon’s son .
“Frozen Canyon is level 120? 130? Is it a field?”
Hyeonu next hunting ground was established—Frozen Canyon . Moreover, he thought of an incredible video story .
-Finding the orc who eats and leaves .
Arena accurately reflected the climate under the name of an extreme realization of realism . The desert was hot, and the swamp was wet . The theme of Frozen Canyon was Greenland in reality . It was dominated by extreme cold 365 days a year .
“Oh, it’s cold, Tang-E . ”
Upon arriving at Frozen Canyon, Hyeonu summoned Tang-E .
“Master dude . . . This time, it is ice . Isn’t it time to go to the forest?” Tang-E was upset the moment he was summoned . It was good to get out of the desert, but that was it . This time, a cold icy canyon awaited him .
“By the way, what brings you here, Master dude?”
“I’m here to find your friend . ”
At Hyeonu’s words, Tang-E thought of any friends who could live in this place . No matter how he thought about it, he didn’t have a friend who lived in such a cold place . He did have a friend who lived in lava though . “I don’t have a friend who lives in a place like this, Master dude . Additionally, how do you know it is my friend?”
“I came to find Cancun . There was a tip that he was seen here . ”
“ . . . ! Cancun?” Tang-E’s cute face was filled with astonishment . “Uh . . . Why Cancun . . . ”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you? Raccoon told me to pass on a message to him . ”
“That old man? What did he want to say . . . ?”
Hyeonu could hear that Tang-E’s voice was shaking for some reason . In fact, Tang-E’s hands were shaking . Hyeonu told him, “Raccoon said there was no magic on the necklace in the first place . So, you have done nothing wrong . ”
“Phew . I’m glad . That’s fortunate . ”
“Then let’s find Cancun soon . We have to send him home before something goes wrong . ”
There were several monsters in Frozen Canyon—snow giants, glacier trolls, and ice golems . All three monsters had something in common . They were all huge . The smallest glacier troll was over three meters tall, while the snow giants and ice golems were monsters that were five meters tall . Of course, their defense was ridiculously high . They were hard to hunt without fire magicians .

“Hey, isn’t this just a living scarecrow? Isn’t this too easy?”
However, for Hyeonu who had a defense penetration skill, they were just moving scarecrows . Their large size meant they would be hit by many blows . Except for the ice golems, the glacier trolls and snow giants were living creatures . They hurt when they get hit and bleed when stabbed .
“By the way, has the time come to change weapons? It’s a pity . It would be easier to hunt them . ”
Hyeonu felt slightly regretful . The Dwarf’s Sword—its attack power was high, but there was no defense penetration option at all .
“It would be amazing to get a unique weapon with 15 to 20% defense penetration . ” Hyeonu gulped .
He knew that such weapons couldn’t fall from the sky .
“You are too greedy, Master dude . You will be struck by lightning . ” Tang-E looked at such a Hyeonu and clicked his tongue . His master was strong enough, but he was greedy . For most people, greed was a cause for disaster . His master dude wouldn’t be an exception .
“I wonder if the bosses here have weapons with defense penetration . ”
Hyeonu didn’t care about such things . He only cared about two things—finding Cancun and getting a new weapon .
“Let’s go, Tang-E!”
Ket, the writer of the article that Hyeonu read, hadn’t left Frozen Canyon yet . His Pioneer Guild was made up of people who purely enjoyed exploring Arena . The other four guild members and Ket were extremely rich in real life . They were rich people who did nothing except breathing, but their wealth still increased .
These people had lost interest in reality, which was why they were able to enjoy Arena more purely . Their items were always the highest level, and they wandered around Arena, discovering many fun and interesting things . They shared these things with people . Ironically, they weren’t obsessed with fame, but they became very famous . The Pioneer Guild was the guild with the largest number of subscribers on World .
“Hey, party leader . Are you still looking for that orc? You regret your 500 gold that much? Do you want me to give it to you?” Asu, a grim-faced magician, quickly said to Ket .
Asu was full of annoyance . ‘Do we have to stay here for a week just because you were ripped off by an orc?’
“Make a quick decision . If we want to hunt, we should leave this place,” Asu urged . Asu had always respected Ket as the party leader and guild master, but not this time . It wasn’t about enjoying Arena . This was just a waste of time .
Ket opened his mouth and said, “By the way, look at that guy over there . Isn’t he somehow familiar?”
“Who?”
Ket pointed instead of answering . The place where Ket was pointing contained a masked man and a small brown bear hunting giant snowmen .
“Alley Leader?!!!” Asu saw the scene and screamed . “That is Alley Leader!! That bear . It is so obvious!”
‘How exciting!’
Alley Leader, Arena’s top issue maker and a hot star, was right in front of him . No one interested in Arena wouldn’t be thrilled by the sight .
“Let’s go quickly . ”
New entertainment had appeared for Asu who was full of complaints .
