Hyeonu saw the quest window and wondered where to start the investigation.
âWho was that bandit last time, Yang Sucang? Did it say he was a Secret Camp Member?â
Now he remembered. The NPC he thought was merely a bandit actually had a different identity.
âIs this the common dark force of Jianghu?â
Hyeonu thought so and laughed at the fact that he had become the protagonist of a martial arts novel.
âThank you, Brother. I know roughly where to start now.â
âReally? If so, Iâm glad that I helped.â
âThen once this is over, Iâll climb Manhua Mountain again. Iâll buy you food and alcohol at the time.â
Qing Feng burst out laughing at Hyeonuâs words.âGood, good. I will be waiting at any time.â
***
On the tributary of Seongho Mountain, there was a black figure running on stones like a tiger. This black figure was Hyeonu. Due to the tight schedule, Hyeonu moved without even summoning Tang-E. As a result, Hyeonu miraculously arrived at Seongho Mountain before turning on the streaming mode.
âPhew, my stream streak wonât be breaking today.â
Hyeonu sighed and summoned Tang-E. âTang-E, come out.â
âMaster dude!!âTang-E immediately appeared at Hyeonuâs call. The moment Tang-E appeared, he rushed to Hyeonu and climbed onto Hyeonuâs shoulder. Then he hit the top of Hyeonuâs head with a sad expression.âWhy call me now, huh? Donât you want to see me?â
âNo, I was afraid you would suffer. Iâve been running for three or four hours now. Did you want to run with me? Iâll call you next time,â Hyeonu said.
Hearing Hyeonuâs words, Tang-E changed his expression and stance. His front paws that were moving violently became soft and full of affection. âWhen did I ask you to call me? I just wondered if you had forgotten me, Master.â
Hyeonu laughed at the appearance of such a Tang-E. âCough... I know. First, take your human form. You canât stand out.â
Hyeonu asked Tang-E to transform into a human form because he had to always be human in the East Continent. The background of the East Continent was Asia.This meant that different species such as the humanoid beasts and orcs werenât common. Carrying Tang-Eâs original form around would draw attention easily and make an impression.
âI know. I understand because this is a different continent. So please be good to me next time.âTang-E accepted Hyeonuâs words and transformed his appearance into a cute child.
âThen letâs go.âHyeonu started to move with Tang-E in his arms.
The destination was a place where he could meet the bandits of Seongho Mountain. It was a rock with a clear view of the road where the Seongho Group attacked last time.
âI will turn on the streaming mode here.â
All he had to do was wait for the bandits to appear, so Hyeonu slowly prepared to start streaming. He connected to A-World, turned on the streaming mode, and wrote the title of the stream. Then he set the screen to black as the default, and the preparations were done.
[Alley Leaderâs bandit experience.]
âI have to work hard today.â
Hyeonu clenched his fists.
***
-Why is it the same today?
-It seems that he has received tasks in the mountains for the past few days.
-?????Is it to kick out the boss and conquer the stronghold??????
Due to the three-day gap, viewers quickly flocked to Hyeonuâs stream. The number of viewers increased. Since Hyeonu started streaming in the East Continent, the viewers continued to flow in, and the average number of his viewers now exceeded seven million.
-Is he going to tell us about the party?
-He mightâve stayed still because he canât speak English.
-Looking at the photos, he wore a mask even in reality.
-Maybe that is his face?
-No, no. Heâs handsome.
-Yes, liar.
One of the topics popular with viewers this day was Alley Leaderâs appearance. What did he look like? Unlike other streamers who revealed their faces while playing games, Alley Leader had never revealed his face.
-Still, what is the point of knowing?
-I will feel defeated if he is handsome.
-He must be ugly.
-If you are curious, then you lose.
Then the bait about this appearance soon disappeared. It was because there was something more important.
-Will Tang-E come out today?
-He has to come out unconditionally.When will he appear?
-Isnât it right?He has to appear unconditionally.
-Isnât it half half?Half Tang-E and half Alley Leader.
-?Is it so high?Isnât Tang-E 90%???????
- ????????.Alley Leader will be angry.We should watch our mouths.
The viewers were still Tang-E-holics. All the videos that boasted the highest number of hits on Alley Leaderâs channel were those with Tang-E. They were the videos of him dancing at the pet contest and showing his human form. The number of views for the two videos was overwhelming.
At this moment, the black screen brightened, and the surroundings were revealed. There were two people who appeared on the screenâa man wearing a mask and a blond boy.
-Hey, Tang-E is here from the beginning.
-Crazy.I came back from playing and came to my senses.
-I will give gold coins as a tribute to Tang-E.
-Tang-E is the Best has gifted you 66 gold coins.
-Tang-E is Cute has gifted you 35 gold coins.
***
âThank you Tang-E is the Best for the 66 gold coins and Tang-E is Cute for the 35 gold coins. Iâll use them well. Hahat~â Hyeonu showed a happy response to the gold coins already appearing at the very start. Sure enough, there was a big difference between Tang-E appearing and not appearing.
âTang-E, letâs do it together later. Iâll give you a lot of food to eat.â
Hyeonu continued to receive the gold coins for several minutes afterward.
âNow, Iâm going to talk a bit about todayâs stream. Do you know where this is?â
While talking, Hyeonu pointed to a familiar mountain path. There were a handful of viewers who recognized it.
-Isnât it that place?That...
-It is the place of the mountain bandits from that day.
-Ah, right.After a while, he will step on the mountain bandits.
âThey know well even if I donât explain it.â
After seeing the chat window, Hyeonu realized that the viewers remembered well and continued the explanation. âI got a quest. The rewards are really great. Do you remember the bandit who was fairly strong? He is a member of some secret forces. Today, Iâve come here to rob the stronghold and get information on the secret force.â
-????A secret force among the bandits.
-So you are going to act like a bandit to bandits?
-I like todayâs stream.A secret force.
-It feels like Iâm a hero.
Todayâs streaming content was popular with the viewers. There were complicated reasons for this, but in a nutshell, there were two simple ones. The first reason was the fresh setting. There were no bandits in the West Continent. In the West Continent, mountains were the place where monsters were most frequently found. Those who had the power to become bandits would be better off being soldiers or knights. That wasnât all. It was Hyeonu acting as a bandit to the mountain bandits. This also added freshness.
The second was that heroes were always right. Heroes fighting against secret forces were always the basics. There was no one who hated it. The number of people who really liked it was overflowing. The synergy effect was great because it matched well with Alley Leaderâs usual image.
âIt is ideal today.â
âThen I will wait for the bandits to appear along with Tang-E.â
-Ohhhhh!
-Letâs do it.Streamer master.
-With Tang-E, Iâm ready to stay up for 10 nights.
âIt is because of my mood?â
Hyeonu tried hard to deny it, but today was the moment when the chat window was the most active.
***
Hyeonu didnât have to wait long.
âHahaha! If you want to pass through Seongho Mountain, give up the gold coins in your hands!â A man in the typical outfit of a bandit jumped down from a tree.
Once the mountain bandits appeared, a man from the merchant group came out and shouted at them. âWe are the Cheonhwa Merchant Group. We wonât give any gold coins to mountain bandits!â
Then the bandits jumped down from the trees.
âAttack! Kill the man and take his gold!â
âStop them! We have to keep this luggage!â
The bandits dressed in black and the guards of the Cheonhwa merchant group in red mixed together. Hyeonu was watching all of this.âIsnât it obvious that the bandits will win? The levels are too different.â
No matter how fierce the warriors of the Cheonhwa Merchant Group were, they were only level 100 at most. One or two of them seemed to be level 150. However, the yelling bandits were above level 200.
âKuah!â
âHelp me!â
The battle flowed as expected. The bandits received some damage, but it couldnât be compared to the damage the Cheonhwa Merchant Group received, causing most of them to die.
-Why isnât Alley Leader cutting in?
-Are you stupid?How will he follow them to the stronghold if he interferes?
-Is this a movie?Wonât they say it if you catch one and place a knife to their neck?
-Think before speaking.Change the filter.
âAll of you should already know. If I step in here, I will kill all the mountain bandits like last time. Then? My quest? Is this a game where the bandits will drop maps if I kill them? I donât have time for that.â Hyeonu finished speaking and dusted his butt as he stood up.
Then he pulled Dark Star out of his inventory. âI will chase the bandits.â
The battle had already ended. The bandits were searching the luggage of the merchant group for anything valuable. Hyeonu and Tang-E chased after such bandits.
âEveryone, their stronghold is in the mountains. Once I get the quest information, I will burn it to the ground,â Hyeonu spat out after chasing the mountain bandits for a long time. It had already been 20 minutes. This was a problem for Hyeonu who now hated mountains.
-????? Letâs turn him into the captain of mountain climbing.
-What about Uphill Alley Leader? ?????
-It is really hard for Alley Leader.??????
âJust get it over with. I will use my skills generously,â Hyeonu grumbled inwardly.
He followed the bandits for another 10 minutes before finally seeing the stronghold of the mountain bandits. âIâve finally arrived at the stronghold, everyone. I went through the path of hardship and have now come to the mountain stronghold.â
-Yes.There were 30 minutes of climbing today.????n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
-A-Worldâs only climbing content ???
-It seems that it will be trendy in the futureâclimbing streams ????
As Hyeonu and the viewers talked about mountain climbing, all the bandits entered the stronghold. Hyeonu was about to follow them when a message window appeared in front of him.
