The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 11

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

Without realizing it, I checked my remaining LP first.

And I almost wet my pants a little.

[Current Remaining LP: 882LP]

Crazy.

How much is all this worth?

Maybe my talent wasn’t in being a hero, but in streaming?

└ Boss, did you compensate for the losses lolol? Right?

I acknowledge it, hyung-nim.

I never thought you’d empathize with my pain to this extent…!

└ Haha lol 500LP?

└ But honestly, if someone’s this talented, it’s worth ‘investing’ in them.

└ Agreed, I might invest here next month too?

But I don’t understand what they mean by investment.

Do the Constellations get something if the streamers they sponsor grow well?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a thing…

└ When ■■■■ becomes ■■, you get ■■, right?

└ Definitely ■■■ would be sweet as hell.

I was curious, but it’s filtered so I can’t understand what they’re saying at all.

It seems like there’s something there though…

Well, other things are more important to me anyway.

Like LP, for instance.

So I just need to enjoy this moment for now.

I’m happy right now.

└ By the way, wow ㅋㅋㅋ I really never imagined this. A shovel with 5 attack power, holy shit ㅋㅋㅋ

└ Dave is a legend.

└ Not Dave, it’s “Dae”ve, okay?

The Constellations’ fawning is a bit burdensome though.

Well, good things are good things, right?

└ But what’s the Room Owner’s potential grade?

└ I’m curious too.

└ This bastard isn’t potential S, is he?

└ At this level, it’s definitely gotta be above S?

I haven’t measured it.

And there’s no way my potential is S.

My talent is certified trash-tier by the administrator fairy, you know?

└ Shit lol if it was anyone else they’d totally be lying, but this guy might actually not have measured it.

Oh my, have you only been deceived in life?

└ No thoughts of measuring it? I’m fucking curious.

I don’t want to.

I don’t want to get hurt.

The Constellations are fawning saying I’m amazing, but…

I, Geon-ryul Lee, am a person with very thorough self-objectification.

The reason I’m doing well now isn’t because my talent is amazing… it’s because my playtime is at least 10,000 times more than others.

└ Yeah, fuck lol I respect the concept.

I keep telling you it’s not a concept.

Sigh.

By the way, maybe because I received financial therapy, talking with the Constellations is getting more and more fun.

Is that why?

While communicating, the viewer count gradually increased too.

[ON Air: ☺ 17]

Seeing the number surpass double digits and approaching 20 fills me with deep emotion.

Is this that… situation where the tide is coming in?

Then I should row, right?

└ By the way, what are you going to do now, Room Owner?

└ You got compensated for your losses, so you should show us something more interesting, right?

Of course, hyung-nims.

Hehe… In that spirit, if you could give me a mission…

└ Mission?

└ Money bird on lol

Actually, I’ve been watching for the right timing.

I had a hunch that I absolutely must receive a mission before taking the next step.

It’s not just because I got a taste of the sweetness of missions.

Should I say I intuitively understood that missions are essential for broadcast content?

Besides, Count Grape hyung-nim promised to give me a mission if I caught the moon rabbit…

I thought this was definitely worth trying.

Hmm, but thinking about it… he already generously donated 500LP, so surely he’s not displeased?

I was having such timid thoughts when…

Fortunately, Count Grape hyung-nim didn’t disappoint my expectations.

└ Then shall we lightly start the engine?

As expected of hyung-nim.

I knew from the start that you weren’t an ordinary person!

Ding-!

[‘Count Grape’ has registered a new mission.]

By the way, even before checking the mission content, my heart is already pounding…

At this rate, won’t I strain my heart?

[Checking mission information.]

The mission window was simple.

But even within that, what caught my eye first was the allocated reward LP.

[Reward: 500LP]

Crazy.

Another 500LP?

What exactly are they trying to make me do for 500LP…

But the moment I checked the mission while thinking this.

“…!”

I couldn’t help but be quite flustered.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Level Up

Category: Mission

Difficulty: ??

Clear Condition

– Reach Level 20

Time Limit

– 168 : 00 : 00 

Reward: 500LP

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Because the clear condition was just leveling up.

There is a time limit… but 168 hours is at most a week.

Even this is too generous.

Are you perhaps a donation angel?

[Do you accept the mission?]

But at the mission acceptance message, I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

To accept it right away… this mission somehow pricked my conscience a bit.

Of course, just the number 500LP was already making my heart race…

But still, I’m Hunter Dave.

A man who knows integrity.

If I’m going to receive such a large sum of 500LP again, I think I should show something worthy of it.

Reaching level 20 within a week is so easy it’s embarrassing to even call it a mission, right?

Of course, it seemed like Count Grape just wanted to give me pocket money…

But this time feels like the moment to see the forest rather than a single tree.

So I boldly opened my mouth.

-Still, this pricks my conscience a bit, bro.

└ What are you talking about?

-How about 3 days.

└ ???

-You gave me a 7-day time limit, but honestly this is too long to call a mission, isn’t it?

└ ???????

-So I’ll settle it within 3 days!

└ 3 days…? 72 hours?

-Yep. Reaching level 20 within that time. Shouldn’t it be at least this much to deserve receiving 500LP?

Actually, I was going to say 48 hours at first, but got scared and gave myself a bit more leeway.

It took about 10 hours to reach level 10, so at this pace, 48 hours to level 20 would actually be enough…

But there might be some variables, so I think I need at least a minimal safety net.

Phew.

Anyway, I might cry if I can’t get that 500LP, you know?

‘Right. I’m even going to be forced to use Moonlight Sword, so if I can’t reach level 20 by day 4… I should just die.’

But the reaction is strange again somehow.

It seems like the Constellations’ characteristic intimidation pattern is starting.

└ The level 10 to 20 section… you’ll break through in 72 hours?

└ Room Owner, are you not thinking straight?

No, I naturally considered sleeping time too.

└ No lol even running without sleep, 72 hours doesn’t make sense?

└ This is just a physical problem, isn’t it?

└ Yeah;; even hunting like crazy, 10 levels in 72 hours doesn’t make sense;;

Oh come on.

These guys are doing this again.

During the moon wolf mission too, they scared me first…

I was honestly a bit scared earlier, but I won’t fall for it twice, right?

└ Honestly I thought even a week was insanely hard lol 3 days is lol shit;;

└ For real lol a week was only possible level because it’s the guy who beat moon wolves with an iron shovel.

It seems like the custom in this field is to scare people first when a mission comes up.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, the most important Count seemed to quite like my proposal.

└ Wow, I like this guy?

And the next moment.

I was convinced that my choice was right after all.

[‘Count Grape’ has modified and registered the mission content.]

The following System Message contained tremendous content.

[Mission time limit has been changed to 72 hours.]

[Mission reward has been changed to 2000LP.]

I really hadn’t hoped for this much.

“…!!”

Two thousand… LP?

So right now, you’re betting 20 million won?

If I succeed at this, I’ll roughly… earn at least 30 million won in 4 days…

Am I allowed to be this happy?

“This is insane!!”

I ended up shouting out loud, but this was force majeure.

I heard that even veteran Hunters find it hard to earn hundreds of millions per month.

At this pace, might I be able to?

Hmm.

As expected, business(?) should be done with conscience.

Sincerity truly works everywhere.

[‘Level Up’ mission has been accepted.]

[Upon mission success, Honor will increase by 1.]

[Upon mission failure, Honor will decrease by 1.]

As soon as I hit accept, it already feels like I have 2000LP.

After settling the mission, my bank account will really be loaded.

“Thank you!!”

└ That’s not yours yet though?

No. It is though?

Hehehe.

After getting the LP settlement, will I buy something delicious to eat?

As if.

Just looking at my bank account will fill my stomach, so why spend money?

But while I was grinning to myself like that.

The Hunter bros started talking about something I didn’t know again.

└ Hmm. But at this level, isn’t this really a safe asset?

└ That’s true.

What’s a safe asset, bros?

└ Then should I… get a little taste too?

[‘Three-Time Ranker’ has added 250LP to the mission fund.]

[‘Scoundrel 2nd Seat’ has added 300LP to the mission fund.]

Gasp.

I don’t know what this is but… first, my overwhelming gratitude…

└ Then I’ll also add a little without burden…

[‘Seeking Cold Law Party’ has added 150LP to the mission fund.]

With other Constellations suddenly joining in, the LP riding on the mission ultimately became a whopping 2700LP.

Safe asset?

What the heck is that?

└ Room Owner seems to be deliberately setting up broadcast angles?

└ True, a 7-day mission would be a bit loose.

└ Wow, if he gave up 500LP to avoid boring angles, that’s really touching.

Uh… it’s true that I thought about broadcast angles…

But I never gave up LP?

“…”

Anyway, to live up to this tremendous support, I can’t waste more time here.

So I started moving with enthusiasm.

“Alright, bros! It’s eleven o’clock right now, yeah?”

└ It’s 11 o’clock in that area?

└ Well, let’s just say it is.

“Then I’ll hit level 12 before 2 o’clock! Until then, please understand if it’s boring grinding!”

└ That’s three hours left until 2 o’clock.

└ Starting with a brutal first goal lol

└ lololol You know that from level 10 onwards it probably doubles each time… right?

Of course I know that.

└ But to really reach level 20 in 3 days, you need about that speed.

└ Even this might not be enough?

But it doesn’t matter.

It would’ve been tough with an iron shovel, but what I’m holding now is none other than the Moonlight Sword.

Since it’s come to this.

I need to squeeze every drop of value out of this Moonlight Sword.

‘By the time I hit level 12 in Wolgye Realm, I should have enough obsidian powder – about 200 pieces.’

The regular mobs in Wolgye Realm, the ‘Shadow Wolves’, drop obsidian powder.

So I’ll slaughter these guys while collecting the obsidian powder I need…

Then return to town to craft an obsidian ring, and finally enter the ‘Moonlight Garden’.

That should be a good goal for today.

If I just skip lunch, it’s totally doable before quitting time.

Swish-!

With my plan set, I drew the Moonlight Sword and immediately started hunting.

└ Wow, Room Owner not using the shovel anymore?

└ Got a bound Moonlight Sword, how could you use something with 5 attack power lololol

└ But you do know how to use a sword, right?

└ Even swinging it randomly does more damage than that shovel lololol don’t worry

But when I hunted the first Shadow Wolf.

Slash-!

[You have dealt critical damage to ‘Shadow Wolf’!]

[You have successfully defeated ‘Shadow Wolf’!]

When I saw the blue shimmer rising from the sword’s tip, I got goosebumps.

[Conditions have been met.]

[The effect of Unity of Body and Sword activates.]

Wait.

Why is this working right now…?
