The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 46
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
The deal with The Hero was successful.
First, I coolly handed over one piece of information I knew to her.
And The Hero, as soon as the authenticity of that information was confirmed, very promptly fulfilled her promise.
-I don’t know how you could possibly know such information…
-I’ll admit it. It was information with much higher value than I expected.
After sending just these two lines of messages, she left my reply on read…
But starting the very next morning, unexpected articles began pouring out one after another.
[Varga Guild’s Rookie Attacked by Scavengers?]
[The Hero Makes No Effort to Hide Her Anger! Issues Official Warning Toward Duskport.]
[Who is the Varga Guild Rookie Attacked by Scavengers?]
[Varga Guild Rookie Attacked by Duskport Scavengers. No Information Available…]
Well, she took action beyond what I wanted to a burdensome degree…
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but feel once again.
Just how much destructive power… the name The Hero carries.
‘Even if it’s temporary, to actually have Varga issue a guild emblem…’
What kind of place is Varga Guild?
Excluding Silver Knights, Varga was the group with the highest guild rank in the country.
Without exaggeration, Varga is one of the three guild names that every South Korean knows.
Yet The Hero, with just one word, got them to issue a ‘guild emblem’ that proves membership in such a place.
Of course, they didn’t actually register me as a guild member.
She’s not even Varga’s guild master, so I don’t know how this was possible.
No, was it possible precisely because she’s not the guild master?
If The Hero had been the master, it might have been harder to handle things so recklessly while worrying about the executives’ reactions.
“…”
Anyway, things worked out very well.
With this, the fact that [Radiant Sword Saint] who needed [Jerathos’s Banner] was The Hero…
I can’t deny it was tremendous luck.
Honestly, having The Hero and Varga Guild backing me has value that can’t be converted to LP.
Even if it can’t be utilized in any way other than protection from PK threats.
So no matter how much of a penny-pincher I am… I wanted to say that I no longer regret selling Jerathos’s Banner cheaply(?).
“As expected… Dave hyung-nim.”
So please stop looking at me with those eyes?
I just made a deal with Varga Guild, no… with The Hero, that’s all?
I didn’t actually become a guild member.
“Hey, but if it wasn’t someone with hyung-nim’s level of skill, such a deal wouldn’t have been possible.”
I’ve never shown any skill, Leo?
“A master like The Hero can tell just by looking.”
“What… how…?”
“Anyway, in my opinion, hyung-nim will soon become an official Varga guild member. For real.”
I appreciate you thinking well of me… but honestly, I’d say that’s unlikely to happen.
Not only would Varga, which is composed of the most elite among the Three Major Guilds, never want a newbie like me…
Even if such an amazing thing happened, I’d probably refuse.
“Enough of that talk, let’s hurry to the underground waterway, kiddo.”
“Yes, hyung-nim.”
“And… you know that having the Varga emblem is a secret… right?”
“Of course!”
Refuse Varga?
Am I crazy?
No.
My goal wasn’t set that high to begin with.
First overcome the family’s financial difficulties, then show proper filial piety to my parents…
My goal is to live as long and peacefully as possible, you know?
I never even considered joining a guild from the start because I didn’t want to be tied down anywhere…
What? Three Major Guilds?
Getting a few certifications and finding a job at the Gate Management Bureau would suit my lifestyle much better.
If it’s one of the Three Major Guilds, they’d probably hold guild wars often too.
Ugh, just thinking about it is horrifying.
“This way, hyung-nim.”
While having such thoughts, Leo and I arrived at our destination.
We hadn’t actually gathered just to chat about recent events.
Our destination was… a dungeon called ‘Catacombs of the Specters’ that exists within Lumis Domain.
On the Awakened Wiki, ‘Catacombs of the Specters’ is described as follows.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓
Hmm… the entry conditions are a bit tricky, but should I explain it as the most efficient leveling course for players in their 20s?
But the reason I called Leo, who’s already over level 30…
Is because I can’t even enter here without this thing (vigilante corps commission).
Ahem, ahem.
And well… since we’ve been through hardships, let’s take a bus ride for old times’ sake?
Too many reasons to level up as quickly as possible have emerged in the past few days.
Ding-!
[You have formed a party with player ‘Leo’.]
[Current party members: 2]
[Party Leader: Dave]
└ Wow lol look at Room Owner’s lack of conscience lol
└ A level 22 scrub doing underground waterway with 2-person party lol
└ They even brought our Leo along to ride the bus ㅠㅠ
Hey there.
Quiet, quiet!
At least I have the conscience to give all the domain contribution points to Leo, right?
└ Fuck
└ Isn’t that just because the Room Owner finds it annoying to get vigilante commission forms?
└ Ahh lol don’t hit our room leader with too many facts ㅠㅠ
└ The man most vulnerable to facts…
Shit, I have nothing to say.
Actually, ‘territorial contribution’ isn’t really something I need right now.
What’s it used for?
It’s only needed when you want to advance(?) within this Lyka world.
You can think of it as a lower-tier version of the Fame stat…
So for me, who’s steadily earning Fame through the Constellations’ missions, it’s an even more unnecessary reward.
[‘Catacombs of the Specters’ dungeon is now accessible.]
[Would you like to enter?]
By the way, it seems about time for one of those Constellations to show up.
Ding-!
[‘Elfzoa’ has entered.]
└ Guys, I heard there’s dungeon date content today, is that true?
My foresight is insane.
[‘Dave’ has restricted Constellation ‘Elfzoa’s chat.]
└ hahahahahaha
└ Elf leftist lol came and immediately cut off lolol
└ Still, the room owner is nice lol Just like last time, only gives chat bans lol
└ Actually, the room owner doesn’t really dislike the elf faction that muchㅠ
While enjoying the Constellations’ nonsense, I confirmed dungeon entry.
Shortly after, with the familiar dizziness, we were sucked into the dungeon.
Ding-!
[You have entered the ‘Entrance of Spectre Aqueduct’ field.]
Well then, shall we get running?
“Leo.”
“Yes, hyung.”
“The goal is 5 days.”
“Huh? What do you mean…”
What else, graduation.
I have no intention of spending more than 5 days in these unprofitable waterways.
“What level is graduation here, hyung?”
“30, obviously.”
“What…? You’re going to hit 30 within 5 days?”
Having you is enough, little bro.
“But I’m already 32, so I’ve graduated…”
Shut it.
└ Wow;;; Look at Dave’s rotten personality;;;
└ Leo… Why are you even traveling with the Room Owner;;;
Your hyung has his reasons for everything, Leo.
You trust this hyung, right?
* * *
Thanks to the aftermath of the shocking guild raid, the Aegis Guild was essentially closed for a week.
Officially, it was a decision made for guild member management, but in reality, there simply wasn’t any other option.
Nearly half of the guild’s core personnel had suffered moderate to severe injuries…
In fact, the one-week maintenance period was the minimum they could manage.
“This time I really thought I was going to die.”
“Anyway, you did well, bro.”
For that reason, Gyeongjun, who had taken a full day of rest…
The next day, after his mental state had somewhat recovered, was meeting an old friend for the first time in a while.
It was Jeongmin Lee, one of his oldest and most cherished friends.
“By the way, you’re doing okay, right?”
“Well, what could happen to me? It’s not like I go into Gates like you guys.”
And Gyeongjun always felt most at ease when meeting his friends.
This was something specific to his oldest friends, with whom he could share different things than with family.
“You guys? Ah right. Geonyul is entering Gates now too.”
“Yeah.”
In that sense, it would have been really nice if one more guy had joined them here.
He couldn’t help but think this.
“I need to see that bastard’s face soon.”
“Geon-ryul Lee is being really high-maintenance.”
“High-maintenance?”
“Yeah, he says it’s hard to make time on weekdays so we absolutely have to meet on weekends.”
Actually, even within their close group of four, if you had to pick, Geonyul and Gyeongjun were the closest pair.
Part of it was due to physical proximity, but Gyeongjun and Geonyul were friends who got along well in many ways.
Because of this, Gyeongjun had so many things he wanted to talk about when meeting Geonyul.
‘We’ll be able to see each other soon anyway, so I don’t need to feel too disappointed.’
So naturally, much of their conversation revolved around Geonyul.
“Honestly, I’m more worried about that guy than you.”
“Why? He’s still on the Island of Beginnings anyway, right?”
“Um, no he’s not.”
“Huh?”
But the interesting thing was…
The more he heard about Geonyul’s recent situation, the more his longing for his friend turned into surprise and curiosity.
No.
What Gyeongjun felt while hearing about Geonyul’s recent activities… was closer to shock than mere surprise.
“That guy hit level 20 in just 2 weeks.”
“What… did you say?”
Even accounting for possible exaggeration or distortion.
“Moon Wolf solo? He found a Hidden Dungeon too?”
“Yeah. According to him. He’s really crazy, right?”
“…”
“What the hell has he been doing? When we meet this weekend, I really need to grill him.”
Actually, when Gyeongjun heard that Geonyul had started Hunter work, he had wondered if there was anything he could help with.
But after hearing Jeongmin’s stories, his original concerns had become completely meaningless.
Gyeongjun’s concerns had mostly been based on thinking of a newbie Hunter who had just set foot in a Gate.
Such things were naturally unnecessary for a player who had graduated from the Island of Beginnings.
‘How long did it take me to graduate from the Island of Beginnings… I think it was over 100 days?’
Though it was long ago, compared to his own novice Hunter days, the gap was so enormous it was embarrassing to even compare.
Of course, the early period when Gyeongjun was adapting to Gates was incomparably more difficult than now.
‘Well… it was a time when almost all infrastructure, starting with information about Gates, hadn’t been established at all.’
But even accounting for that, one thing was certain.
Geonyul’s talent as a player was…
At a level incomparable even to himself, who had often been told he was talented.
So Gyeongjun looked forward to meeting his friend even more.
Actually, Gyeongjun was a man more serious about Hunter work than anyone else.
