The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 52
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
The targeted 5 days had passed.
And my level is…
Ding-!
[Level increased.]
[You have reached level 29.]
I had reached 29 before I knew it.
“Wow, hyung. You almost really succeeded, didn’t you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hitting level 30 in just 5 days.”
“Ah.”
“I thought that was just a joke, but you weren’t joking.”
“Of course not.”
My determination to hit level 30 within 5 days was ‘real’.
As proof, I had even placed a bet on it.
* Currently Active Betting
[Condition: Player Dave Level Up Achievement (5-day Up/Down basis)]
[Current Odds: Up (5+ days) 1.494x / Down (Under 5 days) 3.023x]
[Current Total Prize Pool: 13159 LP]
Did I bet my own money too?
Of course.
Just like the previous bet, I put exactly 1000 LP on Down.
So let me say it again – I was ‘serious’.
I wanted to say there wasn’t even a grain of intention to toy with the Constellations.
└ Hey Room Owner, you son of a bitch
└ I’ll curse you if you log off before midnight…
The betting closes at exactly 8 PM anyway, hyung…
What difference does it make if I log off at midnight?
└ Damn, I’ve been alive long enough to see Dave lose money, shit;
└ But why does it have to be today of all days;
Right.
So to cut to the conclusion, I spectacularly lost 1000 LP.
No, I should say I’m right on the verge of definitely losing it.
└ This bastard, no matter how you look at it, this was intentional ㅇㅇ
└ He deliberately bets wrong so he can win big when he wants to, what a wicked scheme shit
But this is really unfair.
Come on, hyungs.
Does it make sense for a penny-pincher to throw 1000 LP into thin air?
I want to cry too seeing my blood money evaporate…
└ Underdog, come to your senses?? Underdog, come to your senses??? Underdog, come to your senses?????
└ Only 30 minutes left now, suckers hahaha
└ hahahahahaha reverse bet education let’s go let’s go
But while it’s true this wasn’t intentional, the situation doesn’t seem too bad either.
My betting win rate will structurally have to be high anyway.
I need to lose like this sometimes… for gambling to actually work, right?
How is it gambling if the answer is always predetermined?
“Hmm…”
So this turned out to be an unintentional investment for the future.
‘Unintentional.’
This part is really the important point.
└ Bullshit no
└ He’s explaining his nonsense so elaborately, fuck.
But thinking about this, I suddenly became curious about one Constellation’s situation.
The one who said he understood me, that he’d devote his loyalty…
The hyung who spouted strange nonsense a few days ago and generously donated 300 LP saying thanks for helping him make money.
I suddenly became curious whether this hyung bet on the favorite or underdog this time.
-By any chance, is Winning Strategist Blacksmith hyung here?
└ Loyalty! Room Owner. I’m here!
Oh, he’s actually here?
-If you followed me… you would have lost this time, right?
└ No! I bet on the favorite!
“…?!”
└ Hehe, didn’t I say I understood, Room Owner.
[‘Winning Strategist Blacksmith’ has donated 300 LP.]
I was honestly flustered.
I was surprised that he won again, but to generously donate 300 LP again.
Uh…
So… getting 300 LP is nice and all.
But still, this… I think I asked for no reason.
Because of this guy, public opinion started getting even worse.
└ Wow, shit, don’t tell me the Room Owner is now in cahoots with Constellations too?
…?
Is that even possible system-wise?
└ Of course it’s not possible system-wise, duh. Do you have any way to talk to the constellations separately from streaming chat?
Exactly.
└ But the important thing is, they’re still in cahoots.
└ Anyway, the point is it’s salty ㅇㅇ
What?
└ Down with scammer Room Owner!!!
└ Underdog, come to your senses?? Underdog, come to your senses??? Underdog, come to your senses?????
└ Ah, shit, last time he bet favorite and screwed us, this time he bet underdog and screwed us;; Room Owner, you better open the next bet right away.
Huh?
What does this even mean…
└ If you want to get revenge, no matter how much I think about it, that’s the only way ㅇㅇ
Constellations are really not right in the head in many ways.
Or maybe I’ve turned these Constellation bastards into gambling addicts.
But well…
[ON Air: ☺ 1517]
With such enthusiastic support, there’s no reason not to do it, right?
└ Evil bastard…
└ Dave… I will definitely curse you…
But a Constellation’s curse sounds scary just from the tone, so could you take that back, hyung?
“…”
Anyway, when we cleanly finished today’s last dungeon, even party member Leo leveled up another tier.
[Party member ‘Leo’s level has increased.]
“Damn, hunting with hyung really makes leveling speed insane, you know?”
With this, Leo’s level reached a whopping 34.
A level 30+ user gaining 2 whole levels in just 5 days in the waterway was an incredible achievement comparable to mine.
‘Let’s see. I have about 70% experience left. Tomorrow I’ll definitely graduate from the waterway.’
So even though I lost 1000 LP, I wasn’t particularly in a bad mood.
I couldn’t reach level 30 in the 5 days I had targeted, but it seemed like I could achieve level 30 on the 6th day.
There were still a generous 3 days left until the 【Hunters School 3】 resume screening date.
“After we graduate from here, you said we’d go to Lumentis Hollow, right?”
“That’s right.”
At this rate, I could probably reach around level 32-33 by the screening date, right?
At least all my hunting plans were neatly laid out until next week.
“But isn’t that a level 40 zone, hyung?”
“That’s right.”
“With you there, hyung, I think we could hunt… but I’m not sure about the efficiency.”
Nothing to worry about, kid.
This hyung has already leveled up there when I was level 20.
└ But back then you rode a high-level party bus;;
A bus?
└ Uh… well…
└ It was a bus, but you were more like the driver.
└ The Room Owner did carry, but your firepower itself wasn’t borrowed.
Well, I won’t deny even this.
No matter how extreme my gameplay is, it’s a fact that hunting efficiency won’t work without firepower.
So I’m not planning to go there… just the two of us, Leo and me.
“I’ve recruited some decent party members, so get ready to ride the bus this time, Leo.”
Who did I recruit, you ask?
Naturally, my former party members with whom I forged camaraderie at Lumentis.
Specifically, Seila Novin and Elicia Rowell.
I had already contacted both of them in advance.
Why isn’t Bellic hyung’s name there, you ask?
Well, that’s because…
His position overlaps with Leo’s, doesn’t it?
“Hehe.”
Leo rode the bus sweetly this week, so next week I should let Leo suck some honey too.
“Wow…! Party members? If they’re hyung’s acquaintances, they must be amazing people, right?”
“Uh… rather than amazing… they’re specialists limited to Lumentis, I guess.”
Thinking of Lowell who used to spam Magni Fire, I suddenly became a little worried about Leo.
Come to think of it, this time Leo might be in the charcoal-grilled position…
Well, it’s true that Leo’s skills are far superior to Bellic hyung’s…
It’ll work out somehow.
“Then I’ll look forward to it?”
“Okay. Look forward to it.”
But why do we keep going after only specters?
Well… it’s because my current purpose is leveling up.
Ghost-type monsters originally give the most experience within the same weight class.
Though they have the fatal disadvantage of terrible drops and no bone extraction…
This is only until next week.
After I sweetly extract the appearance fee from 【Hunters School 3】, I plan to return to my main business starting around level 40.
└ Anyway, we can just make money by fleecing us, right…
Hey… hyungs.
Why are you saying things like that again…
└ We’re watching because it’s fun, damn it
└ Who said they’d go easy on you? I didn’t go easy ㅠㅠ
└ Don’t cry and tell me step by step, friend ㅠㅠ Did you lose both times?
└ Hey, you too?
└ ㅠㅠㅠ
Anyway, in this heartwarming atmosphere.
Ding-!
[Betting Result: ‘Up’ Victory!]
[The dividend results will be settled shortly.]
Hunter Geon-ryul Lee’s day could safely come to an end.
[Settlement completed.]
[You lost the bet, so there are no LP to receive.]
└ So if you just bet well, money gets duplicated? lol
└ You reverse betting bastards, instead of aiming for a quick fortune… money should be earned steadily like this with Jeongbae.
Excuse me?
‘Steadily’, you say?
“…”
After finishing the settlement with Leo, I cleanly clocked out around 8:15.
“See you tomorrow, hyung!”
“Get home safely!”
But actually, today I couldn’t immediately leave the Gate after work.
Why?
[Synthesis Main Material: Condensed Crystal of Sorrow 1000/1000(100%)]
‘Phew. I finally collected all of this.’
There was one thing left to do to further increase hunting efficiency starting tomorrow.
