The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 38
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
The weekend passed by quickly.
It was disappointing that I couldn’t see the other guys besides Jeongmin, but I heard many interesting stories…
Plus, I spent relaxing and good time with my family, so it was a satisfying weekend.
“Wow. Living long enough to get fed by my son. This is nice, isn’t it?”
“Exactly. I thought I wouldn’t even be able to get funeral rice later.”
“…Isn’t that line a bit too spicy, Mother?”
Actually, the good time was just taking my parents out to eat… (Mom’s daughter wasn’t there since she went out to study.)
Maybe because I had been lonely for too long… even just that was enough healing time for me.
“But son.”
“Yes, Mother.”
“That company you’re working at now. Is there any chance you could become a full-time employee?”
“Well… I’m not sure about that…”
Even Mrs. Kim Juyeon’s nagging felt like healing to me.
“That’s the broadcasting station where Jeongmin works as a PD, right?”
“Y-yes?”
“Talk to Jeongmin nicely and make sure to stick around there.”
“I told you the pay is terrible there.”
“What does that matter? They’re willing to hire you.”
“Mother, what do you mean…”
“Anyway, these days a company that pays salary on time is the best, Geonyul. Getting a job isn’t as easy as it was ten years ago.”
She seems to be a bit too good at being objective about her son.
Well, anyway…
Our mother seemed greatly satisfied that I was diligently doing ‘work’ as soon as I returned.
When my thoughts reached this point, I naturally remembered the variety show program that Jeongmin had suggested.
If I really end up appearing on that show, then I’ll have to reveal everything about working as a Hunter…
If I have to reveal it someday anyway, that timing might not be bad.
Well, that’s only possible if it’s confirmed that they’ll let me appear on the show.
“Don’t worry. I won’t be getting fired anytime soon.”
So from Monday, I was able to start working again with renewed energy.
Having family who worry about and support me was much more empowering than I had thought.
Ding-!
[Connection Location: Asterion South – Dragon Vein Region]
[Welcome to the world of ‘Lyka-Laika’, ‘Dave’.]
And the more I progressed through the Quest, the more I thought I had really done well to rest over the weekend.
As the Draco’s levels approached level 100, the difficulty of the grinding increased exponentially.
[‘Draco’ monster has been successfully defeated.]
[Refinement Target: Understanding of Draco increases by 0.1%.]
No, honestly, if I hadn’t rested over the weekend…
I felt like there would definitely have been setbacks in this hellish grinding.
[Refinement Target: Draco – Current Understanding: 60.0%]
Achieving 60% understanding, which was the minimum condition for this Quest.
Just getting to this point took me more than a full day.
[Quest clear conditions have been met.]
[Would you like to clear it?]
[Y / N]
[Upon clearing, you can receive Reward A.]
This was so difficult that even the Constellation bastards who were always eager to mock me felt sorry for me.
└ Wow… this really is a human victory story.
└ Just go up already, damn it;;
└ He actually managed to get 1SP out of this, impressive guy;;
So did I stop here?
└ But Room Owner, you’re not satisfied with just 1SP, right?
No way.
As I mentioned before, SP isn’t a resource you can easily give up.
└ I believe our Room Owner isn’t a weak man who would give in at this level~
└ lololol right right lol the room leader said we absolutely have to clear this with our mouths, so we can’t back out now lol
Of course, even so… I couldn’t just say I’d give up here.
Some acting is essential, isn’t it?
I couldn’t miss such an amazing fundraising timing, could I?
-Isn’t this enough, teachers…?
When I complained with a half-dead face, the Constellations giggled and enjoyed it as expected.
└ lol if you acted all cocky, you gotta face the consequences, right? lol
└ You’re backing out here?
So it’s about time… for sponsorship messages or missions.
To start coming in…?
└ Oh my, I’m disappointed in you, Room Owner?
I’m disappointed too, brothers?
Really nothing? Huh?
“Phew.”
While I was thinking that, finally the bites started coming.
└ You’re still going to quit even with this?
[‘Scoundrel 2nd Seat’ has registered a new mission.]
[Would you like to accept the mission?]
Wow, as expected of 2nd Seat hyung.
Only you, hyung.
“…”
As soon as the mission came in, my hand unconsciously went to the accept button.
80% understanding clear condition with 300LP.
I’m already drooling.
But given the mission difficulty, I want to collect at least 1000LP…
I know it in my head, but enduring isn’t easy.
└ lol the host’s hands are shaking right now? lol
└ For real lol our room leader might not care about other stuff but they absolutely won’t let missions slide, you know?
Brothers… if you provoke me like that, should I try holding back on a mission for the first time in my Hunter life?
Please don’t let such a sad thing happen… please!
[‘Apprentice Mage Meo’ has sponsored 10LP.]
└ Ah, let’s try a little harder, Room Owner.
[‘Shining Scrap Guardian’ has sponsored 15LP.]
└ Let’s at least get 2SP, bro. From what I can see, that much is really doable.
…and so on…
When I stalled for a bit, more additional sponsorships came in, and it gradually became harder to resist the urge to accept the mission.
Right.
If the brothers cancel the mission while I’m doing this…
If such a catastrophic thing happened, wouldn’t that be too sad?
So I was about to stop holding back and start…
[‘The Golden Master’ has registered a new mission.]
Along with the System Message I had been waiting for, an exclamation burst out of my mouth audibly.
“Kya-”
[Checking mission information.]
This is it!
As expected of you, hyung-nim.
〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓
Quest Additional Condition Achieved.
Category: Mission
Difficulty: ??
Clear Condition

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓
Honestly, the past two days were the biggest lean period of my Hunter life.
It was a Quest zone where farming wasn’t possible, and there wasn’t much content to entertain the Constellations either…
I couldn’t even earn an average of 100LP per day.
It was so bad that I couldn’t even buy late-night snacks on my way home from work this week!
So the 3,000LP from this mission was like sweet rain during a drought for me.
“Thank you, hyung-nim! I’ll definitely get it done!”
At my suddenly energetic voice, the Constellations responded with disbelief.
└ This bastard doesn’t think he’s already cleared it, does he?
└ To clear that, don’t you have to kill level 150 Dracos?
└ Yeah, that’s right;;
└ Looking at level 150 with Jaws, damn that’s some serious swagger;;
However, the Constellations who had been watching my streaming since the early days had slightly different reactions.
└ Room leader lol I knew this bastard would do this lol
└ No matter how I look at it, it seems like they’re just putting on a show lol
└ It is pretty fucking obvious though lol
Pay attention to the mood, hyungs?
└ But to call this Room Owner’s plan;; isn’t the Quest difficulty too excessive?
└ Dave has always been like this…
Sigh, there are some unhelpful guys here.
[‘Quest Additional Condition Achieved’ mission has been accepted.]
[Upon mission success, Honor will increase by 1.]
[Upon mission failure, Honor will decrease by 1.]
Anyway, with clear motivation, I started twisting my whole body again to clear the Quest.
* * *
[Synthesis Target: Understanding of Draco increases by 0.1%.]
…Omitted…
[Synthesis Target: Draco – Current Understanding: 65.0%]
The hellish grind for mission clear lasted longer than I had expected.
-Phew. Hyung-nims, let’s stop here for today, I’ll be back as soon as I wake up tomorrow!
└ Good job, room leader ㅋㅋ
└ Dave’s persistence is really insane;;
└ How do I even continue this ㄷㄷㄷ
So one day passed and then another day passed…
[Synthesis Target: Draco – Current Understanding: 82.0%]
Exactly 3 days later.
Ding-!
[Synthesis Target: Draco – Current Understanding: 90.0%]
I was finally able to be completely liberated from this damn Quest.
[Quest clear conditions have been met.]
[Would you like to clear?]
[Y / N]
[Upon clearing, you can receive Reward A.]
But how did it take exactly 3 more days?
└ Wow;;; Dave this bastard is just insane;;;
└ Does it make sense to go even further from there?
I finished the Quest…
It wasn’t even at the point when I achieved 90%.
Ding-!
[Synthesis Target: Understanding of Draco increases by 0.1%.]
[Synthesis Target: Draco – Current Understanding: 100.0%]
Acting crazy and twisting my whole body, I managed to achieve the figure of 100%.
[‘Synthesis Target: Draco’ has been perfectly understood.]
So the level of the Draco I defeated at the last moment was a whopping 162.
It was a monster that could only be defeated by hunting regular monsters almost like a boss raid.
└ Room Owner; I respect you;
Why did I go this far when there wasn’t even a separate Quest condition?
[Transcendent Achievement has been accomplished.]
[‘Raphael’s Memory-A’ Quest content will be changed.]
I had a feeling this would happen.
