549. Broadcast Start (5)
└ Ye-rim, blow it all away coolly~~!~!!
└ Just now, Manager Song planted a love flag in my heart.
└ Party time? Yerim, you’re the spotlight!!!!
Beyond the rapidly rising comments, water poured down like rain. Amidst the deluge, Park Yerim smiled brightly and soared high.
“Ouch.”
She bumped her head on an invisible ceiling. Park Yerim rubbed the spot she hit and looked up.
“I guess this is what ‘no flying’ meant. They should have explained it in detail! NG [No Good]! Let’s go again!”
└ Yerim, lololololol
└ Yerim, if Yerim and Yoohyun fight, who would win?
“Ah, our Guild Leader? I treat him with the respect due to a superior and an elder~!”
Park Yerim shrugged and swung her spear towards the gushing stream of water. As if following a conductor’s baton, the water began to dance. It gathered and grew, making cheerful sounds, and soon…
└ OMG……..crazy
└ ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ [Sound of trembling or shock]
It became a giant wave. Against the backdrop of a barren wasteland devoid of any vegetation, a bright blue wave swayed. And then…
Swaaaaaaah─
It began to rush towards the cliffs of the valley. The water splashed and soaked the cliffs incessantly. Water overflowed along the valley as if a flood had occurred, and from afar, the cries of bewildered monsters could be heard.
Until all the water flowed down, leaving only stagnant puddles, the chat window almost froze.
└ Yerim!!! You are Korea!!!!
└ Sis11111111111111111111111111111
└ Yerimaaaaaaaackgagagagㄱㄱㄱㄱ!!!!! So cool
└ I bought a new TV for today!!!
Park Yerim made a heart with the remaining water, looking a little embarrassed. She had become accustomed to being praised and cheered on, but seeing so many comments rising in real-time was a slightly different feeling.
“This is just a warm-up, a warm-up! The wall is still standing strong!”
└ No tact; it should collapse on its own. How dare it block Yerim?
“Skills are inefficient if you just spam them. Stamina and mana aren’t infinite, so even S-Class Hunters can’t use them recklessly!”
Saying that she was also studying hard, Park Yerim made a V sign.
└ I’m Park Yerim’s friend from school.
“What? Time, time!”
└ Studying hard, lololololol
“Hey! But I’ve really been working hard these days!”
└ No, an S-Class is studying hard, sob sob sob.
└ Mom and Dad shouldn’t see this, yikes yikes yikes.
└ Park Yerim is studying hard!! And you’re not even a Hunter!!!
Park Yerim laughed out loud as she looked at the chat window. White mist began to gather around her.
“When water freezes!”
└ Bㅍ! [Abbreviation for ‘idiot’ or ‘fool’]
└ Ice is bigger!
A chill spread out. With a soft crackling sound, the moisture in the valley began to freeze. Not only the soil but also the water that had seeped into the crevices of the cliffs were all instantly engulfed in the cold. From here and there, the sounds of something twisting and breaking could be heard.
Park Yerim took a long, white breath and stepped down in front of Song Taewon.
“Now, Manager Song!”
“If we’re thinking about efficiency, we should just pass through─”
“It’s a broadcast, a broadcast! You’ve been waiting a long time! The Valley Demolition Show by Song Taewon, the Director of the Awakening Management Division of the Republic of Korea!”
“…The path isn’t blocked.”
“Everyone wants it so much!”
Song Taewon turned his head and looked at the three wide-open paths. There were perfectly good paths, but…
└ Extreme Job: Civil Servant Edition
└ I think Manager Song’s soul floated away with Yerim’s water, lololololol.
└ (Comment saying Manager Song was so happy he broke the wall with his head)
“Should I carve the face of the Seseong Guild Leader on the cliff to boost your motivation?”
Park Yerim cheered on Song Taewon with sparkling eyes. Song Taewon looked at the chat window, Park Yerim, and the cliff in turn. If they weren’t a team, he would have ignored it and passed by, but Park Yerim and he were on the same team. And given Song Taewon’s personality, he couldn’t harm his teammates.
Park Yerim’s broadcast performance. He told himself that he was only doing it for that as Song Taewon stepped forward. Park Yerim quickly moved aside and applauded.
“Crazy Song! Song! Song!”
“…….”
Ignoring Park Yerim’s cheers and the chat window as much as possible, Song Taewon put strength into his whole body. As the weight increased with the activation of his skill, the frozen ground beneath his feet cracked. The staff was gripped in his large hand like a javelin, and the muscles under his wet shirt rippled. He took a step forward.
Swaeak!
Focusing on a single point at the end of the staff, he stretched out his arm towards the cliff. The staff shot from Song Taewon’s hand pierced straight into the cliff.
Kurururung─
The valley echoed. The staff didn’t stop, piercing through as if it were passing through soft cheese, not solid rock, and disappeared from sight. It created a huge hole about ten times the thickness of the staff and continued to move forward.
Kwaddeuk, kururung! Kajijik─!
The entire long stretch of cliff shook continuously, and then cracks began to form around the hole created by the staff. And soon…
Kwareureureu
It collapsed. Pouring out soil and stones, it fell like dominoes in succession. The chat window was in shock, and Park Yerim also opened her mouth wide in awe. Meanwhile, Song Taewon calmly took out a new spear. He approached the remaining cliff on one side of the central path and thrust the spear again.
Before the right valley could completely collapse, the left valley also began to crumble.
Urrurung! Kururung, kwareureureung!
– Kyareureuk!
– Kieek!
In the thunderous roar, the cries of monsters could be heard. Beyond the path where the two valleys between the three paths had disappeared and become a wide road, monsters, excited by the barrage of water and rocks, rushed in. Park Yerim, who had been admiring them, twirled a spear in her hand and floated lightly into the air.
└ Wow, S-Classes aren’t S-Classes for nothing…….
└ I’m speechless and my fingers are frozen……
└ Manager Song, you broke my heart too, sob sob sob.
└ Monsters got a complete bolt from the blue, lololololol.
└ They’re A-Classes going to S-Class dungeons, but those two are out of spec [outside of normal specifications], haha. Not all S-Classes are like that, don’t get the wrong idea.
└ Manager Song □□□□□□□□□□□□ in the water.
Peok! Park Yerim’s spear struck the head of a charging giant lion. She spun around, struck the staggering lion’s chin, and then threw the spear high, piercing the faintly twitching ground.
– Kieeek!
A monster that had been hiding under the collapsed pile of cliffs, trying to ambush them, let out a deathly scream. Park Yerim, who had quickly dealt with all the monsters, approached Song Taewon and cheerfully held out her arms.
“Come on, give me a hug!”
“We can just walk.”
“The road is rough. I’ll take you there comfortably~”
“It’s okay.”
Song Taewon quickly moved away. Park Yerim floated after Song Taewon, who was lightly and quickly moving through the road that had been ruined by the collapse of the two cliffs.
“Look, Songi wants to see Manager Song’s heart.”
“…….”
“There are a lot of words erased with squares. Is it information from another team? But hey! Song! Are you really not going to do it?”
“…….”
Song Taewon practically ran towards the entrance of the valley. He didn’t forget to collect the spears and staff that had fallen along the way. As the two passed through the entrance, a message window appeared.
[Valley Passage Result]
[You are an Outlaw.]
“You’re an Outlaw, Manager Song!”
Park Yerim laughed, saying it didn’t suit Uncle Song at all. Soon, the two disappeared.
“That’s too much.”
As soon as he was moved, what came into view were thick bars. Was it a prison? Then a message window popped up.
[Please wait until preparations are complete.]
Wait or whatever, he was trapped. He looked around the prison. It was a small room with nothing but a bed.
“I’m someone who can live without the law? How diligently and kindly have I lived?”
└ lololololololololololol
└ Hyeongje [Brother], someone stole my heart faster and differently than anyone else.
└ Yoojin!! Don’t be disappointed that you’re a thief □□□□□□□□! lololololol
What was that deleted part? Was it information from another team? Since he had become a thief as a result of passing through the valley, others might have gotten different results. It said not to be disappointed, so there must be something worse than a thief. What could it be?
“The other teams must have passed through by now, right? It wouldn’t have been difficult for the high-level Hunters.”
└ Yoojin, Yoohyun loves his brother!!!!
Ah… Yoohyun……. Still, he’s saying something, good job.
└ Someone shut Hanyoo Hyun’s mouth too, ugh, so embarrassing;;;
Uh, um.
└ The awesome Yerim swept everything away~@~@
└ Noah’s broadcast screen seems to have an error. I only see light;
└ Liete Kang Soyoung □□□□□□□□□□ lololololol
└ Hyunah unnie [older sister]!!!! □□□□□□□□□ really □□□□□□
As expected, most of it was deleted. There were many comments that were just □’s. Still, everyone seemed excited, so it seemed like there were no problems. As long as everyone was safe. Yoohyun, please talk about other things if possible.
[The role assignment for the participants has been completed!]
After looking at the chat window and talking for a while, a message window appeared.
[Slave – Lowest score in the raid. The slave cannot attack anyone. Does not die.
Thief – Did not directly hunt monsters. The thief cannot kill anyone. Can steal slaves.
Tycoon – Annihilated monsters using a certain amount of consumable items or more. Can purchase slaves. Can hire thieves and police. Cannot make preemptive strikes.
Police – Hunted monsters normally. Can catch thieves. Can preemptively attack and kill all participants except the Police Chief and slaves.
Police Chief – Highest score in the raid. Can command the police. Cannot directly catch thieves.
Outlaw – Destroyed the valley the most. Rule breaker.]
He quickly read through the roles and brief explanations that appeared before his eyes.
“Wait, there’s a slave? Really? Everyone except me is a high-level Hunter?”
└ zzzzzzzㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Sound of sleeping and laughter]
└ □□□□□ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The chat window was instantly filled with □’s and laughter. There must be one, but who could it be? Did an unlucky A-Class Hunter run into an S-Class monster?
“I naturally thought I would be last in the rankings, but thank you to whoever it is~ I’ll buy you a meal. The Police Chief, is it the Seseong Guild Leader as expected? Or my younger brother’s team? Yerim’s team is also formidable. Noah and Hyunah will be the fastest.”
There were a lot of people laughing. Were they all wrong? Was it another unexpected S-Class Hunter team?
“There will be the most police, right? Then thieves or tycoons.”
If only one member of a team caught monsters, would the other become a thief? Or is it by team? If it’s the former, then A-Class Hunters teamed up with S-Class Hunters were likely to become thieves. Evelyn would probably be a tycoon, and our kids would be the Police Chief or police.
“One vote for Liete and Soyoung’s team as Outlaws!”
This was almost 99 percent certain. Even without seeing it, he could picture them sweeping through and destroying everything.
Then, a detailed explanation of the thief appeared.
[Thief]
[*Can attack all participants. But cannot kill them.
*Given a perfect stealth skill. Can be used 5 times.
*Can be hired by a tycoon. Can steal the tycoon’s assets, and if failed, goes to prison, and if successful, gains a bonus.
*Will be eliminated if killed by the police. Can escape by providing bribes or information to the police.
*Can only hitchhike on transportation. Location will be revealed to the police immediately after getting off.
*When wanted, the original appearance will be revealed.]
Stealth skill five times. Since it was perfect, even S-Class Hunters, as well as those with naturally good senses, wouldn’t be able to notice.
[Victory Conditions
Steal the slave and transport them to the designated location
Eliminate all police
Be hired by a tycoon and complete the tycoon’s victory conditions
Achieve one of the conditions (in the case of the tycoon’s victory, joint victory)]
[The participant’s true appearance is hidden.]
[Please enjoy the party!]
What do you mean, please enjoy the party! He took out paper from his inventory and wrote down the rules. Other roles would also have more abilities or conditions attached, like the thief.
“The thief is too disadvantaged. Eliminating all the police is difficult, but stealing a slave and transporting them, the slave will be a high-level Hunter! Even if they can’t attack, they can still run away. In the end, aiming for a joint victory by being hired by a tycoon is the most likely option.”
The problem was that there was no merit for a tycoon to hire him. Unlimited hiring was naturally impossible, so S-Class Hunters would naturally be prioritized. What’s the point of hiding my true appearance! My stats will still be revealed.
└ The slave is □□□□□
└ Director Han, slave □□□□□□□□□□□□□
└ Hyeong [term for older brother] □□□□□□□□ □□□□
└ Frustrating! Chatterbox □□□□□□□□□□!!
I’m frustrated too. If only I knew who was who, we could cooperate and clear it easily.
“First, it would be good to find a tycoon and find out the tycoon’s victory conditions. Fortunately, tycoons can’t attack first, so even F-Class stats can rest assured! That is, before the police are hired.”
As expected, the thief was at a disadvantage. In fact, since it was in order of raid score, the most disadvantaged would be the slave. Who is the real slave? Give back your high-level Hunter license.
[In one hour, you can receive an invitation to the slave auction at Rockefeller Center Station.]
A message appeared again.
“Where is Rockefeller Center? Is it a real place?”
He muttered as if asking himself and looked at the prison door. First, he had to pick the lock and get out.
