Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 36

A high-rise building owned by Yeokcheon, Seoul.

In the room on the top floor there were Lee Do-won and Gong Ah-young.

They were looking at many monitors on the wall. Internet broadcasting platform, the monitors where Stitch’s broadcasts appear.

But their eyes were fixed on one place.

Park Si-Jun’s broadcast from the middle of the monitors.

25,000 viewers. Aside from the established players, the most talked-about thing right now was Park Si-joon’s broadcast.

“It’s amazing to get such a good grade on the first broadcast.”

“There were quite a few viewers in the middle.”

It was lost during tedious repetitive hunting, but was replenished in the fight against Baphomet.

And the fight with Baphomet was amazing.

“Were you that kind of player?”

Do-won Lee, who was watching the broadcast, murmured.

There was an indescribable tremor in his voice.

He’s a player I’ve been watching since the training camp.

The looks he showed in the licensing exams were overwhelming, but not to this extent.

“It has developed surprisingly. Especially that magic…”

“Some of them are magic that can be used by players of upper-intermediate level. The essence of magic does not give it well.”

“The rest is magic we don’t know about.”

Lee Do-won nodded his head with a serious face.

He and Gong Ah-young are the top players in Korea. Both were bodies contracted with magical essence.

There was no magic that those two didn’t know. But it actually happened. Park Si-jun used a magic they didn’t know.

“No, more than that.”

Lee Do-won looked back at the scene he had seen a while ago.

A scene in which Park Si-joon uses the magic of scattering rain of flames and runs between them. Laughter came out of nowhere.

“What kind of song is this?”

“How do I know…”

It is rushing through the rain of heavy flames. Even without a single streak, at a high speed.

Such range magic doesn’t discriminate against peers. Of course, users also suffer a lot if they get involved.

“Are you lucky? Your quickness? Or…”

“Intuition.”

“Yeah, it’s practically a player.”

“You’re too seasoned for that. Movement, daring judgment. More like a veteran player than a trainee.”

Lee Hyuk-ho changed the screen.

What came out this time was Han Jung-hyun’s screen. He was exploring the dungeon with his close friends.

“Look at his movement. He’s too stable and hard. He’s got great potential, but he lacks experience.”

“It’s the same with Park Si-jun, that’s it.”

“So it’s strange. Fights like that can’t be done simply because they have high potential. It doesn’t mean that you can do it just because you’re sponsored by traits.”

Lee Hyuk-ho tapped his head with his finger.

“Great proficiency, a natural sense of combat, effort to cut blood, and a lot of practical experience. Everything is possible when you have everything.”

“Are you saying you know you’re a trainee?”

“So it’s strange. People seem to be paying attention only to things that don’t have a background, but I’m more interested in that guy’s fighting skills than that.”

Lee Do-won narrowed his eyes.

Was there any trainee that Lee Hyuk-ho appreciated so highly?

He is a man who even criticizes his younger sister, Lee Min-ah. Not to mention Han Joong-hyun. He’s even said to be an arrogant bastard.

‘Lee Hyuk-ho is one of the best warriors in the world.’

Do-won Lee is an excellent scout, but not a warrior.

He will have something to see because he is a warrior like him.

“…what should I do? Guild leader.”

“I want to tell you to recruit.”

Lee Hyuk-ho shook his head.

“That kind of guy isn’t going to come under anyone.”

“Then even sponsors? It seems that the Haseong group contacted them. I think we need to build a friendly relationship.”

“Did you say that my younger brother followed Park Si-Jun?”

“Yeah, you seem to like it quite a bit.”

Lee Hyuk-ho smiled a little.

“Shall we go see my little sister as an excuse?”

“…What?”

Do-won Lee narrowed his eyes as if he had heard the words.

“Isn’t the training camp curriculum coming to an end? As far as I know, that would be the last curriculum.”

“Maybe, you…”

“Make up a schedule. I’m interested.”

Lee Hyuk-ho smiled and left the room.

Do-won Lee, who was watching his back, clicked his tongue slightly.

“What should I do?”

“What, what, how? You have to do what you’re told.”

“…I’ll adjust the schedule.”

The two sighed heavily.

And then there was a loud noise from the monitor.

The monitor on which Park Si-jun’s broadcast is shown.

“That’s…”

Seeing this, Lee Do-won’s mouth widened slightly.

“…what?

* * *

“What is that?”

The temple was very quiet.

All the undead died, and Baphomet also fell.

All that was left was Park Si-jun, the huge corpse surrounding the temple, and the altar in the middle of the temple.

“……”

There was something on the altar, but it was surrounded by a halo of pure white light, so I couldn’t tell what it was.

Park Si-jun carefully reached out to the altar.

Whoa!

As his hand touched it, the barrier surrounding the altar melted.

‘what?’

I thought it would bounce off like the undead a while ago, but the barrier disappeared as if waiting.

Then he saw clearly what was on the altar.

“This…….”

Park Si-jun carefully lifted the object on the altar.

Whoa!

“Ugh!”

He felt a slight pain in the palm that touched his egg. It felt like being stabbed with a syringe.

‘This… … .’

it was an egg very large eggs.

But it was in bad shape. About half of it was broken, and something like a dark liquid filled the gap.

[Magic Essence sheds a sullen voice.]

As soon as they saw the egg, one of the hinters reacted.

[The magical essence wants you to show the egg in more detail.]

“Like this?”

Park Si-jun showed the egg in detail as requested.

[The magic essence bites his lips.][The arena king laughs wildly.]

The two actors showed different reactions.

Park Si-jun frowned. I think there is something.

‘Anyway, I’ll take it.’

Park Si-joon listened carefully to the egg.

It was too big to put in my inventory, and there was no space left.

I put the things Baphomet had dropped and it was all full.

‘How do I go up with this… … .’

Park Si-jun sighed and left the temple.

Then the bodies surrounding the temple began to collapse.

Kururu!

A corpse collapsing with a roar. The temple involved in it also collapsed.

As I watched it, my spine became cold.

‘If I did it wrong, I almost got caught up in it.’

There was something significant about it. Would you say that it feels like you’ve done your best and collapsed?

Park Si-jun checked the chat while leaving the hideout.

‘The number of viewers… Twenty-five thousand people.’

It was very successful for a first broadcast.

“Today’s broadcast will end here.”

Today, I was thinking of going back to the frontier and resting.

There was nothing to be gained by continuing the broadcast, so the broadcast ended immediately. The camera that was following me disappeared.

[The performance of today’s broadcast is settled.][Many viewers watched your broadcast. You have gained 400 Awareness Points.]

Park Si-jun clicked his tongue. I think a lot of viewers watched it, but the recognition points didn’t go up much.

‘This is pretty tricky.’

Park Si-jun had no intention of succeeding as a streamer.

Of course, he wasn’t bad at making money, but it was more of a means of gaining power than that.

‘It’s difficult for me to manage on my own.’

It is difficult to manage all the View Tubes by yourself. Then what should I do?

There was only one thing that came to mind.

‘Should I get help from Hatherin?’

The Velvet Machinery also said that it manages streaming.

She said she signed a contract with a streamer who does community broadcasting, so she can help with various planning, channel management, and sponsorship.

She said, ‘I’ll have to look at the contract and think about it.’

With this number of viewers, it seemed like we could sign a contract on good terms.

As Park Si-jun thought about what he would do next, he escaped the goblins’ hideout.

“……”

It was already morning outside.

I went in the evening, so it was like staying up all night.

Park Si-jun laid his egg down and stretched it.

“Huh?”

At that moment, he felt something uncomfortable.

Park Si-jun tilted his head back.

“…Oh.”

There was a woman standing there. She has no personality, a woman with an ordinary physique with a face that you will forget once you see it.

Park Si-jun traced his memory.

“Mr. Han Go-woon.”

It was Han Go-woon, who interrogated Park Si-joon the other day.

She had her eyes wide open as if surprised.

“I was surprised. Did you know I was there?”

“No, it’s just… Why are you here? I remember you were an employee of the association.”

“Is there any law that an employee of the association is not a player? I am here because I am a player.

“It’s not that, hmm…”

Park Si-joon’s eyes narrowed. He was skeptical.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

She waved her hand as if she felt it too.

“I have no intention of harming you,” she said.

“Ok?”

“No, don’t go back…”

Park Si-joon was slowly stepping back.

Hango Un sighed and raised his hands.

“I really don’t mean to be hostile. I just, um. They ended the broadcast. Could you turn on the broadcast management menu?”

“Admin menu?”

He closed the broadcast window while being wary of Han Go-woon.

“If you look there, there will be a menu where you can see the list of donations. Could you please check it?”

“Donation list… ah.”

Following Han Go-woon’s words, the list of donations was opened. Then, a series of letters appeared.

[Ramram sponsored 100 coins. – I can’t see the donation! Please play it!][RUINAP sponsored 100 coins. – I enjoyed the license test video last time. Will this video also be uploaded to Viewtube? I want to see you again.]

… … .

Donation. Then I saw something like that.

The viewers who watch the broadcast give coins. It was my first solo dungeon, so I turned it off, but I completely forgot.

“You set it to be invisible. The chat window was noisy… Did you not see it?”

“I didn’t see it. I didn’t even have time to see it.”

“I guess so. It was a great battle.”

Hango Fortune nodded his head as if he understood.

Park Si-joon, who was scanning the donation list, stopped moving. There was something special in the middle of the donation.

[Phalaenopsis Mong has sponsored 1,000 coins.][Phalaenopsis Dream wants to meet you.]

… It was a behind-the-scenes message.

“Happymong-nim has asked you to come.”

Park Si-joon looked at Han Go-woon.

‘Are you a famous player? I’ve never seen it.’

If Phalaenopsis had given him an order to bring him, he would not have been an ordinary player.

‘There are other messages as well.’

Other than Phalaenopsis dream, there were other messages.

One of the most impressive ones was sent by the magic essence.

[Magic Essence sponsored 1,000 coins.][The magic essence is told to come to the Frontier.][The magic essence is interested in the egg.][The magic essence promises no harm.]

The essence of magic, this dungeon, with the king of the arena, is the character behind it, sending meaningful messages over and over again.

“I’m sorry. I can’t go now.”

“…Yes?”

word of refusal. Han Go-woon opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“I have a prior appointment.”

Park Si-joon heard the egg.
