The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 13

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

After finishing maintenance in the village, I reached level 11 on my way back to the hunting grounds.

[Level up!]

[You have reached level 11.]

Since my experience was almost full, I naturally hit level 11 while moving to the level 15 hunting grounds.

└ Kyah- So refreshing!

└ What?? This room’s owner was only level 11?

└ Yeah

└ But how did he one-shot a level 13 wolf?

└ No idea?

But this was only the beginning.

After arriving at the level 15 hunting grounds, I really started going crazy.

[‘Black Mane Wolf’ has taken critical damage!]

[‘Black Mane Wolf’ has been successfully defeated!]

Quiet Ravine, a hunting ground teeming with monsters between levels 15-17.

Originally, I planned to come here after reaching levels 13-14… but thanks to the Moonlight Sword, my specs developed a tempo faster.

In fact, I was at a much higher spec level than I would have been at level 14 without the Moonlight Sword.

So I was unstoppable.

I literally wiped out all the monsters in the hunting ground.

With even Divine Sword Unity triggering… regular mobs pose no threat regardless of their level.

Of course, that’s only within the Island of Beginnings.

[‘Black Mane Wolf’ has been successfully defeated!]

[‘Jet Black Fang Wolf’ has been successfully defeated!]

…and so on…

Anyway, I’m literally having a blast.

If you ask what’s so exciting about repeating something I’ve done over a thousand times…

I’d explain that it feels like playing a completely different game from those thousand previous runs.

When I played the beta version, with what the fairy called trash-tier talent, every battle was always a continuous ordeal.

Everything that happened inside the Gate threatened my survival.

But now?

I’m just in a state of ecstasy.

To what extent…

└ Wow;;; This almost looks like watching Sword Princess at low level lol

└ Is it that good?

└ Not quite lol I watched Sword Princess from the beginning, she was already raiding Moon Wolf at level 10 lol

└ Cute newbie lol Our Room Owner already tore through it solo at level 9?

└ ???

Even the Constellations’ pleased chatter wasn’t properly registering in my eyes.

└ ?? Moon Wolf??

└ Yeah

└ Bullshit

└ Even tore through it with a shovel lol

└ What kind of nonsense is this.

└ It’s true though;;

└ ?? Are you serious???

Of course, donation messages were a different case.

[‘ElfLover’ has donated 2LP.]

Whether it’s 2LP or 1LP, they’re precious customers.

I must show proper appreciation.

-Thank you for the donation, bro!

└ lolol Look how he reacts like a ghost to donation alerts lolol

By the way, donation messages have become quite sparse…

It’s probably because I’m just doing boring hunting, right?

I don’t particularly sense dissatisfaction from the Constellations’ chat, but I should probably start paying attention soon.

It’s bothering me that the viewer count, which had exceeded 50, has dropped again.

[ON Air : ☺ 42]

So once I fill up the remaining experience, I should create some entertainment for the Constellation viewers.

└ Room Owner, how much experience left for level up?

-If I kill about three more, I’ll level up!

└ Crazy;; Already level 12?

└ Kyah lol Really hitting 12 before 1 o’clock lol

Alright, first goal achieved.

Ding-

[Level up!]

[You have reached level 12.]

Should I pick up the tempo once more?

-Well then… I’ve seen all there is to see in Quiet Ravine now.

At my words, the Constellations were startled and questioned back.

└ ??? What do you mean?

└ What nonsense are you building up to now, Room Owner lol

-I’m graduating from this hunting ground.

Graduating from a hunting ground I just arrived at – they must be wondering what I’m talking about.

└ This is originally a hunting ground where people level up to 20, what are you saying;;

└ The only hunting ground above this is Misty Peak.

└ That place has a level 15 restriction so you can’t go even if you want to right now, and it’s not particularly good for experience efficiency either.

The Constellations each chimed in, but naturally, I already know all this information.

But it seems no one has thought this far ahead.

Probably because I’m only level 12.

-There’s a dungeon, bros.

└ Oh, Dalbichung Garden?

└ That place is definitely tier 0 for experience farming.

└ Come to think of it, the level requirement there is exactly 12;;

└ This is the first time I’ve seen someone actually go there at level 12, so I didn’t think of it.

But it doesn’t end there.

Just ending at Dalbichung Garden wouldn’t be enough – I’ve gotten stronger faster than I expected.

-It’s similar, but I’m going somewhere more interesting.

Just thinking about the destination makes my mouth water.

└ Oh? Is there something?

└ What could there be lol The Island of Beginnings content is honestly predictable.

└ Are you going to show us a Dalbichung Garden Boss solo?

└ lol That’s a party dungeon so you can’t go alone.

At this point, I should cast another wide-range provocation to prevent viewer exodus.

-I’ll give you a hint – it’s a hidden dungeon, bros.

Actually, the hidden dungeons on the Island of Beginnings are pretty obvious.

But they should still be curious about which one specifically, right?

However, the Constellations’ reaction is somewhat different from my expectations again.

└ …? Hidden dungeon?

└ What are you talking about now.

Literally what I said.

Hidden dungeon.

└ Was there a hidden dungeon on the Island of Beginnings?

└ First time hearing thisㅇㅇ

└ If you guys knew about it, wouldn’t that mean it’s not a hidden dungeon anymore? lol

└ No, how would the Room Owner know something we don’t? The Room Owner is a ■■■ player.

What? It doesn’t feel like these Constellations are messing around this time…

This actually made me more confused.

Actually, there are two more hidden dungeons on this Island of Beginnings, besides the one I’m heading to now.

But they don’t know about the existence of hidden dungeons at all?

Is it really okay for these so-called Constellations to be like this?

└ Seems like bragging about nothing special;;;

Why are you putting on airs that’ll be exposed in a moment, bros?

└ 99% chance it’ll be nothing special when we actually go there.

└ If there’s really a hidden dungeon, I’ll make a big donation.

You’re promising that?

└ Yeah, if it’s really a dungeon I didn’t know about, I’ll drop 100 LP.

Wow…!

Provoking Constellations multiplies money!

At this point, I think this can be considered a formula.

You’re saying that even if that Constellation didn’t know, there’s no way to tell if they pretend they did?

Our Constellation bros may be game noobs, but they’re not that petty.

So I trust them.

That’s why I immediately started moving.

-Alright, let’s go right away, bros!

└ If you go this way, isn’t that the Moonlight Garden?

-That’s right. I need to go to the Moonlight Garden first.

The Constellations’ suspicions grew when I said I had to go to the Moonlight Garden first, but I’ll just have to show them with their own eyes.

At least they won’t turn off the stream until then, so it’s a very good situation.

So that’s not the problem, but there is one other very minor issue…

└ Room Owner, do you have a party?

That was the fact that the Moonlight Garden is a party dungeon.

-I’ll just grab anyone and go in.

└ lol you think you can just take anyone to party dungeons?

└ What if you meet a troll, Room Owner?

└ But PK isn’t allowed on the Island of Beginnings anyway.

└ Even if player killing isn’t allowed, you can still troll as much as you want, right? lol

Actually, if I stop by Bereshit, there’s a way.

Like I did during beta, I can go to the Adventurer’s Guild in the village and sweet-talk an NPC into partying.

This would be more convenient and easier than going to the Awakened Community to find a party.

But it would be a waste of time to go back and forth, so I’d prefer to find a suitable party member.

While thinking this, I arrived in front of the Moonlight Garden…

└ Oh, Room Owner. I think there’s a player over there?

A player fighting near the dungeon entrance came into my view.

* * *

Hyeonwoo Jung, who turned twenty-one this year, awakened on his birthday last year.

For almost a year since then, he had been making full preparations to enter Gates without his older sister knowing.

And about two weeks ago, he finally entered a Gate for the first time.

[First-time user detected.]

[Synchronizing player data.]

[1%…24%…27%…98%]

[Data synchronization complete!]

[Access location: Bereshit – The Starting Village]

[Welcome to the world of ‘Lyka-Laika’, ‘Leo’.]

If his older sister, an 8-year veteran Hunter, found out, she would definitely jump up and down in a frenzy, but he had no choice.

-I’m finally… a Hunter too?

For Hyeonwoo, who grew up watching his older sister, Hunters were objects of admiration.

-I’ll become a ranker like my sister too. I can’t let only my sister suffer forever.

After losing both parents during the Gate incident, it was his older sister who raised him for the past 10 years.

Now it was his turn to repay her, and he was confident.

Though it was a secret from his sister, his potential was measured at A-grade.

A-grade was… said to be the highest rank that could be measured by testing equipment.

There was even the possibility of S-rank, the dream potential.

Thanks to this high potential… he could muster the courage to enter a Gate without his sister knowing.

-So I just need to prove myself. Then my sister won’t be able to oppose it anymore.

He didn’t need to worry about what class to grow into either.

The potential measurement showed 99% aptitude compatibility for [Swordsman].

Moreover, after entering the Gate, combat with monsters that many novice Awakened feared seemed more manageable than expected.

So Hyeonwoo was confident.

With just some effort added, becoming a ranker seemed like a matter of time.

Ding-!

[Monster hunting successful.]

[Experience gained.]

As proof, after about 15 days, Hyeonwoo Jung’s level was… already 17.

Generally, two weeks was said to be barely enough time to reach level 10.

It was information from the Awakened Wiki, so it couldn’t be wrong.

[Level up.]

[Reached level 17.]

From level 10 onwards, he even received scout offers from various guilds.

It wasn’t just small and medium guilds either.

There were quite a few large guilds included that anyone interested in Gates would have heard of.

‘Phew… So just hang in there a little more, Hyeonwoo Jung.’

But even Hyeonwoo, with such outstanding talent, had one concern.

That was the fact that the money he had saved to enter Gates was almost running out.

His entire life savings plus an Awakened loan.

A fortune of 20 million won had been completely drained in just two weeks.

Of course, 90% of the 20 million won went to equipment, so when he first entered the Gate, he had about 250LP from converting 2.5 million won…

Still, it was no small amount, but now he had less than 30LP left.

The biggest cause was scroll and potion costs.

[Checking inventory information.]

[Item quantities owned]

[Lowest-grade potion: 3]

The lowest-grade potions Hyeonwoo used cost 5LP each.

Since killing one monster usually consumed about 3-5 potions, he was running a daily deficit even when investing all the LP he earned.

‘Next month I’ll have equipment repair costs too…’

Thinking about his equipment’s durability, already worn down by nearly half, Hyeonwoo felt dizzy and let out a deep sigh.

Equipment repairs were said to cost hundreds at a time, so he needed to figure something out before then.

‘This is why guild support is necessary.’

Hyeonwoo clenched both fists as he recalled his first goal as a Hunter.

His goal was to join the Silver Knights, Korea’s top guild.

It could be said that he had rejected offers from other large guilds because of this goal.

[Knight Order Selection Test: D-26]

So securing qualification before the entrance test next month was the most important thing for him right now.

That was also the reason he was pushing himself to level up quickly.

He had to reach level 20 as fast as possible and farm Moonlight Emblems to participate in the Knight Order selection test.

Honestly, it would be easy if he received help from his older sister,

but he had absolutely no intention of doing that.

‘I have to prove myself with my own strength, so that even my sister will have to acknowledge me.’

With that in mind, Hyeonwoo was planning to run dungeons again today.

The [Moonlight Garden], famous for being the place where you could gain the most experience on the Island of Beginnings.

Since level 15, Hyeonwoo had been leveling up in this place.

[You do not meet the entry requirements for the ‘Moonlight Garden’ dungeon.]

[A party of 2 or more members is required.]

“Hmm, no party today either.”

After glancing around, Hyeonwoo hunted monsters near the dungeon while waiting for other players.

He had posted on the Awakened Community, so if he waited a bit, someone would contact him.

But after a while.

“Oh, are you by any chance planning to tackle the Moonlight Garden?”

A man who suddenly appeared at the dungeon entrance spoke to him.
