The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 44
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
Before my return, I had reached up to level 200 on the Beta Server.
There was one playthrough where I played for about 35 years… I think I made it to around level 250 back then.
So I had a pretty concrete understanding of how strong the current Earth server rankers would be.
Though I had never encountered them even once before.
No, it seemed like I was probably encountering one for the first time right now…
I could tell by instinct that this woman who appeared before my eyes was at least a level 120+ ranker.
“Wh-why are you here of all places…!”
“Eeeek-!”
Being able to disperse a 2nd class mage’s attack magic in midair with just a single sword swing.
This meant that this woman was either a 3rd class player, or very close to it.
└ It’s legendary that you need such a lengthy analysis to figure that out lol
…?
└ Are you really an Earth player?
I am.
└ Then how can you not recognize The Hero even when seeing her right in front of you?
Huh…?
She’s even wearing a mask, how am I supposed to know?
└ The Hero always wears a mask;;
└ What the hell is this guy really…
└ He definitely spent like ten years in secluded training somewhere, I’m telling you?
At the Constellations’ words, I felt like my brain had stopped working for a moment.
The Hero?
That ranker The Hero that I know of?
Why is The Hero here of all places…
└ That’s what I’m saying damn;; why the hell is The Hero here;;
└ The Hero doesn’t seem to have her stream on right now either.
└ Room Owner, this guy’s luck is something we really gotta acknowledge;
└ And he’s surviving through this again lol
After briefly checking the Constellations’ chat, I took a moment to admire The Hero’s cool-looking back.
She looked cool when she first appeared, but… suddenly she looks even cooler.
Is this how ranker fandoms are born?
I couldn’t understand the stories about rankers having fandoms even more than celebrities, but maybe now I can understand it too.
└ lmao
└ That seems like a bit of a different concept though;;
Meanwhile, just because The Hero appeared, the viewer count suddenly exploded like crazy.
[ON Air : ☺ 756]
Did it really increase by 200 people in that brief moment?
└ But The Hero’s aura is really insane lol
└ This is a ranker? This is a ranker?
But isn’t The Hero younger than me?
What does that matter.
In Lyka, the person with the higher level is the elder sister.
Clink-!
While I was thinking that, The Hero, who had sheathed her sword back at her waist, opened her mouth toward the Scavengers.
“What I hate most in the world is PK, you know?”
“…”
“That’s why you guys are still alive.”
You could just kill us though.
“What do you mean…”
“Fortunately, you haven’t committed the act yet, and I don’t want to PK either.”
This lady is unnecessarily merciful.
“So I’ll give you 5 seconds. I’d like you to get lost right now.”
Well, I understand.
Before being a ranker, The Hero was a named player from one of the Three Major Guilds.
For a player of The Hero’s caliber to PK in such a public place…
Even if the targets were Scavengers, it couldn’t help but be a delicate matter.
“Damn it.”
Anyway, as soon as The Hero finished speaking, the two people slowly backed away and quickly disappeared from the scene.
Well, it was probably an inevitable choice from their perspective.
The Hero killing them would be at least 10 times easier than them killing me.
The level difference might be similar, but level 120+ is a completely different dimension.
“Phew.”
Anyway, once the situation was resolved and I escaped the crisis, I could regain my composure.
The Hero opened her mouth toward me.
“Good thing I wasn’t too late.”
Th-thank… no, thank you, big sister!
Thanks to you I saved 100 million…
But what does she mean by not being too late?
Maybe because it’s such an unrealistic situation, my head is quite confused.
“You must have a lot of questions though?”
Of course I have many questions, big sister.
Seeing as you said you weren’t too late, it seems like you knew in advance that I would be attacked…
“First, there are too many eyes watching here, so let’s move somewhere else for a moment.”
The Hero, who quickly poured out what she had to say, took something out of her inventory and held it out.
[You have obtained Guild-exclusive Return Scroll – ‘Varga’ item.]
And the very next moment.
Flash-!
The Hero’s figure, who had torn the scroll, instantly disappeared from the spot.
└ Oh, what? It doesn’t seem like The Hero just saved him for no reason?
└ Room Owner… do you have something going on with The Hero?
└ wtf
No way.
If there was something, wouldn’t I have recognized The Hero’s mask?
“…”
Anyway, I decided to tear the scroll I received from The Hero.
As The Hero said, after she appeared… quite a lot of people’s gazes were fixed on me, which was quite burdensome.
It also seemed like The Hero had something to say to me…
Setting everything else aside, this lady saved me a Feather of Horus, so giving her some time is basic courtesy, right?
└ ;;;;;Isn’t it The Hero ‘nim’ who’s giving you time, not you giving her time…?
That’s prejudice.
Anyway, that’s how it is.
Whoosh-
When I tore the scroll, along with a spinning sensation, my vision was dyed with white light.
Whoooong-!
And the very next moment.
Thud-
What appeared in my vision was a small garden inside the ‘Varga Guild’ where The Hero belonged.
* * *
I didn’t tell the Constellations, but when I first saw The Hero appear, there was something else that shocked me the most.
It was the technique The Hero used to nullify Scavenger’s flame magic… Radiant Sever.
That was definitely the unique skill of the 3rd tier hidden class [Radiant Sword Saint] that I knew.
The Radiant Sword Saint was among the rarest and most powerful classes among the 3rd tier hidden classes in my memory.
If I had sufficient talent with swords, it was one of the few overpowered classes that seemed capable of facing even the Demon King.
Though I’d have to factor in that its strong light attribute gave it good compatibility against the Demon King.
‘I never thought the Radiant Sword Saint would exist on a server where even the Hidden Dungeon of the Island of Origin hasn’t been discovered.’
But why am I suddenly bringing this up?
“…”
After getting through the crisis and regaining my composure, I realized what having the ‘Radiant Sword Saint’ meant for The Hero.
‘So this woman was the one who bought my Jerathos’s Banner.’
Jerathos’s Banner, a unique artifact that exists only once in the world of Lyka.
And the Radiant Sword Saint, the one and only hidden class that can only be obtained by using it.
“Was the shock too severe?”
“…”
“Are you still not coming to your senses?”
This was definitely… quite a shocking truth.
Shocking enough that my gratitude for being saved from the Scavengers decreased by about 0.1%.
To think she was the woman who bought items cheaply from the rice-poor Dave (I found out later this was a misunderstanding)!
“That’s understandable, right? I’d lose my mind too if I ran into Scavengers right after coming to Alterion.”
“Could you be quiet, Kato.”
By the way, this man next to The Hero must be a ranker too, right?
The aura I’m sensing from him is at an incredible level…?
“I’m fine now. Thank you so much for saving me once again, Hero-nim.”
While I was thinking that, even more surprising words came from The Hero’s mouth.
“Actually, you don’t need to be that grateful.”
“Excuse me?”
“I can’t stand owing debts, you see.”
“…!”
“I owed you a ‘debt,’ Dave-nim. Though you probably have no idea what it is.”
Damn it.
With this, my suspicion turned into certainty.
This woman was probably referring to buying the banner cheaply as a ‘debt’ (this was also a misunderstanding).
But she’s being so open about it?
She was cooler than I thought, noona…?
└ What the;;;ㄷㄷㄷ
└ Explain yourself, Room Owner;;
└ What kind of debt does The Hero owe to the Room Owner?;;
“You know why you were attacked today, right?”
“Probably… because of the unique item.”
“I’m glad you’re aware.”
“…”
“Then you understand that you could face quite dangerous situations in the future too, right?”
I quietly nodded, and after a brief pause, The Hero slowly continued.
“So be as careful as possible from now on. You can’t expect my help next time.”
From The Hero’s perspective, she had more than repaid her debt(?) for buying Jerathos’s Banner cheaply.
Since she couldn’t possibly think I had Horus’s Feather, from her standpoint, she had essentially saved my life.
Well, even so, I’d like to squeeze out about 50,000 LP more…
But my meta-cognitive abilities aren’t so destroyed that I’d actually carry out such trashy behavior, you know?
└ Surely you’re not going to demand she hand over her belongings after saving you, Room Owner?
└ But seriously, what kind of debt(?) does Geumhee owe to Daive anyway;;
Anyway, after exchanging a few more words with me, The Hero slowly got up from her seat.
The fact that a ranker of The Hero’s caliber had spent this much time was actually quite moving.
“I have an appointment, so I need to go now.”
“Thank you, Hero-nim.”
“If you need time to recover, Dave-nim, you can rest here a bit longer.”
But as I watched her getting up from her seat… a thought suddenly occurred to me.
While it would be trashy behavior to ask The Hero for favors here, come to think of it, couldn’t I try proposing a fair trade?
“But Hero-nim, may I ask you just one thing I’m curious about?”
And I was someone with the drive to immediately try out ideas that came to mind.
Honestly, this idea that just occurred to me felt like something I’d regret not trying immediately.
“What is it?”
Alright, first let me turn off the streaming for a moment.
-Bros, I’m going to turn off streaming for a bit…!
└ Crazy?
└ Look at this guy?
└ Room Owner! What are you doing!!
└ At the most important moment, is this for real?
└ You can’t close the door!!
[Ending stream.]
[ON Air : ☺ 1321]
A whopping 1,300 people…
A trade so important that I boldly turned off streaming while leaving behind the highest number of live viewers in my streaming career.
To do this, I first needed to grab The Hero’s attention a bit more.
And making her interested in me would be enough with just this one sentence.
“Jerathos’s Banner that I put up on the trade exchange. You used that to become the Radiant Sword Saint, didn’t you?”
“…!”
Even though she was wearing a mask, I could definitely feel that The Hero was surprised.
Honestly, if you’re a ranker who stakes their life on rankings, wouldn’t it be stranger not to be surprised hearing this?
So I thought.
‘Maybe I’ll be able to make a pretty good deal with Hero noona…?’
