-Hi everyone.
-Hi hi.
-It has been a while.By the way, why is the title of todayâs broadcast like this?Do you know?
-Did he find a dungeon?There are rumors lately that Alley Leader is hunting in the Balder Mountains. Maybe it is an expedition to the Balder Mountains.
Viewers usually talked about what Alley Leader would do today while waiting for the stream to start. Most of them were previewed by Alley Leader at the end of the previous stream, so there wasnât much curiosity. However, today was different. There were no announcements, and the title was also unique.
[Exploring a New World with Alley Leader]
A new world...
What was this new world? What did it mean?
Viewers started to express their opinions about it.
-No, it is a dungeon, right?
-Eh, no way.
-It isnât a dungeon. It is a really strange place.
-I hope it is Tang-Eâs home.
-Seriously. Bears like Tang-E...
-Iâm happy just imagining it.It is a healing feeling.
The audience was united in their comments that it was Tang-Eâs home.
A short time later, a man wearing a childâs mask appeared on the big screen. It was Alley Leader.
âHello everyone! I am the streamer Alley Leader who never loses his original heart. It is nice to meet everyone.â Hyeonu greeted the audience as usual.
Then he looked at the chat window. Today was the first stream that would change things up a bit since he became first in the arena rankings. This was why he started off strong from the title.
âThe reactions are very intense.â
It was as Hyeonu thought. However, the viewersâ reactions were very intense in a different sense.
-Tang-EEEEEEEEEE!!!!
-Come out Tang-E!
-Come out in human or bear form!!
-Wicked streamer, go away!
âIt feels like everyone has forgotten my personality? The chat window is very lively...?â In the end, Hyeonu couldnât resist and revealed his true nature. âI think it is time to swing the hammer again. Have I been peaceful for too long?â
Hyeonuâs appearance as he enunciated each word was terrifying. The audience was forced to calm down at Hyeonuâs words. Tang-E was Alley Leaderâs pet. In order to see Tang-E, they had to remain in Alley Leaderâs stream.
-Iâm sorry.The previous comment was from my cat.
-Receive these gold coins and get rid of your anger...
-An Apple Every Day has gifted you 99 gold coins.
Hyeonuâs anger only calmed down after seeing the gold coins. The viewers all knew to some extent that Alley Leader wasnât really angry. It was just a roundabout method to ask for gold coins. Still, everyone fell for it. It was because such behavior was part of Alley Leaderâs charm. He had inhuman skills but a very human nature. The enormous gap between the two was one of the driving factors of Alley Leaderâs popularity.
âThank you for the 99 gold coins. Then let me explain why todayâs title is âexploring a new worldâ.â
-Yes, explain it quickly, masterstreamer.
-I will curse you in my heart if it is exploring a dungeon.
-Coward.Be like me and swear in the chat.
-Then youâll be kicked out.
âNo one is expecting the East Continent.â
A deep smile appeared on Hyeonuâs face. He was smiling at the thought of giving the viewers a blow. It wasnât only the viewers. All of Arenaâs communities would probably be in turmoil. The name âEast Continentâ was well-suited to attract a lot of attention.
âI am currently not in the empire. Do you know the East Continent? It is beyond the Balder Mountains. I am in uncharted territory.â
Hyeonu finished speaking and switched the point of view of the camera. Until now it was showing Hyeonu and a bit of the background, but then it changed to Hyeonuâs point of view. The viewers now saw what Hyeonu saw.
âNow, this is the East Continent. It seems to have mixed cultures from East Asia.â
Hyeonu chose the most scenic place in Haju for the stream. The view was really amazing. It looked down at Haju like Building 63 looked down on Seoul.
-Wow, what is this?Am I seeing incorrectly?
-My mind is spinning, spinning...Is this Arena?
-Is this being released to the public for the first time?The guilds arenât hiding it?
-There havenât even been rumors about the East Continent, let alone someone going there.Is he the only one in Arena who has gone there?
The viewers were shocked by Hyeonuâs shocking information. The East Continent...
It was unthinkable. This reveal was on a completely different level from the viewersâ speculation that it was a new dungeon.
âFrom today on, Iâm not where you are. I am here in the East Continent. Please look at the videos on my channel if you are curious about the East Continent. Iâll keep posting them.â
-I will look at it 10 times a day.Please upload a lot of videos.
-His real class is different.
-Other people skip streaming once or twice when theyâre looking for the main scenario. Meanwhile, our Alley Leader is doing such a big thing while streaming the entire time.
-This is a real âone man going against hundredsâ.It seems to be beyond the level of a large guild.
Hyeonu enjoyed the reactions of the viewers. He felt rewarded when he saw them admiring himself.
âThis is the taste,âHyeonu recalled the catchphrase of a gagman heâd heard in the past. This was truly the taste.
âI donât intend to do much today. Iâm just going around to clear my quest. Is this okay?â Hyeonu asked the viewers for their understanding. The East Continent might be a novelty, but it was the duty of a streamer to show what the viewers wanted.
-Itâs okay.
-Just take a tour around the East Continent.
-Watching our Alley Leaderâs stream is never boring.
-After passing by the mountain, Iâm afraid bandits will strike.??????
The viewers werenât dissatisfied at all. Alley Leaderâs streams were always dynamic. Few of them had progressed smoothly. No, it was safe to say that there were none had done so. This was because it was more common for problems to occur.
âThat absolutely wonât happen today. Iâm just going to move. Iâm looking for another city, and my goal is to reach there. I have no intention of fighting or something similar in the middle.â Hyeonu refuted the viewersâ prophecy.
It would not happen today.
âToday is just a stream that will show the scenery of the East Continent.â
Hyeonu hypnotized himself like this. All he had to do today was walk along the road. He had already found a way to get to Jeonggyeong. A merchant group, a representative guide in genre novelsâHyeonu invited them to join him. To be exact, before Hyeonu started streaming, he searched for merchant groups heading to Jeonggyeong, and they willingly let him join the party after seeing Hyeonuâs skills.
âI just have to go with the merchant group. What can happen?â
However, Hyeonu struggled with the anxiety that was gradually filling his heart. After all, Hyeonu knew that he experienced quite a lot of incidents.
âAbsolutely. It will never be as good as today. Never!â
***
The merchant groupâs path to Jeonggyeong was as calm as Hyeonu wished. Rather, it was boring.
-By the way, since Arena has an Oriental area like this, does it mean they are now targeting China in earnest?
-You should say that it is all of Asia, not just China.
-Now Arena has a stagnant player base.The explosive growth has already stopped.
-Thanks to our Alley Leader, the direction of growth has shifted from its downward momentum, but it has been a while.
Hyeonu watched the messages of the audience members closely. It was quite interesting. Content aimed at Asia...
âIt is like this?â
It was naturally good news for Hyeonu. The increase in the number of Arena players was directly related to the increase in Hyeonuâs potential viewers. It also meant that Hyeonuâs income would increase.
âThen shouldnât Quency give me something?â
If Kim Jinyeong and Park Hyeonjun heard these words, they would slap Hyeonuâs cheeks several times.
âIs that so? I hadnât thought about it at all. Since itâs released on my stream, shouldnât Quency do something for me?â Hyeonu spoke proudly.
Sincerity could be felt from his attitude. He really wanted a gift.
-You really want something?
-Really pure.
-So pure that it is scary.????
-Quency employees, if you are watching the stream right now, give a subscription.If our Alley Leader becomes angry, it will last a long time.
-He is really narrow-minded.Extremely narrow-minded.
Hyeonu was lost in the communication with the viewers when he saw a man waving at him.
âWait a moment. Someone seems to be calling me over. I wonât be able to see the chat for a while. Thank you for your understanding.â
Hyeonu turned off the chat window and ran toward the man who called for him. He had kept a small distance from the merchant group for the sake of streaming, so he needed to move quickly. Hyeonu asked, âDid you call, Mister Zhang Hun?â
He spoke politely to Zhang Hun, the person in charge of the merchant group. This was natural as it was Zhang Hun who let Hyeonu join the merchant group. Hyeonu naturally needed to keep a submissive attitude toward Zhang Hun.
âMister Zhang Hun... You donât have to call me that. Just Brother Zhang is fine.â Zhang Hun shook his head like he was burdened by what Hyeonu called him.
Zhang Hun thought Hyeonu was crazy when he asked to join the merchant group. This was natural. They might be a merchant group on the way back from their job, but who would let a stranger they didnât even know join? However, Zhang Hun gave permission due to Hyeonuâs constant persuasion and the strange pressure he felt from Hyeonu.
âHis skills look pretty good.â
It was unknown when and where a merchant group would be attacked. Therefore, it wouldnât be bad to have a talented person like Hyeonu with them. Of course, even if Hyeonu had an impure purpose, Zhang Hun was confident he could overcome it.
Zhang Hun told Hyeonu, âI called you because I thought you should go with us now. Do you see the mountains over there? There is a famous mountain stronghold. They naturally wonât hit our merchant group, but it isnât bad to be prepared just in case.â
Hyeonu nodded at Zhang Hunâs explanation. It made sense. âI understand. From now on, Iâll move with the group.â
âThank you for understanding.â
Hyeonu and Zhang Hun understood each other, but the viewers didnât.
-Screeeeeam!He clearly turned off the chat window again!
-He has no intention of reading the comments!
-You need to communicate, communicate!
-Another habit came out again.Sigh.
Hyeonu had forgotten to turn on the chat window. For a moment, viewers couldnât shut their mouths at the situation occurring in front of them.
-Wow...
-Crazy.
-It is like this...
