The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 63
Constellation’s Game [Lyka]
As the full-scale first filming began, the entire production crew entered a state of tension.
Since <Hunters School>’s format itself was reality variety and the production cost per episode was at an enormous level…
Even though it wasn’t a live broadcast, any accident that would require stopping filming absolutely could not occur.
Moreover, beyond simply avoiding accidents, they had to quickly track every source that could extract entertainment value in real time.
While the final edited version would be worked on again by reviewing the recorded footage.
Scenes that could hook viewers needed to be quickly captured and clipped so they could be utilized as marketing resources.
So not only the main PD (Jang Seyeon) and on-site general director (Jeongmin Lee), but also the writing team and all on-site technical staff.
All personnel were very meticulously monitoring every move of their assigned participants.
So the fact that Kim Yerim (23 years old), the youngest writer, was holed up in the monitoring room…
Could be said to be completely natural.
‘Ugh, I’m so nervous.’
From now until the first mission ended, for at least 5 hours, Ye-rim couldn’t step even one foot out of this monitoring room.
But for Ye-rim, that wasn’t particularly difficult.
No, perhaps…
For her, this monitoring time might be the best company benefit.
[Now then… we begin the entrance ceremony for <Hunters School 3>! Transport!]
She was none other than someone who had fanatically loved this <Hunters School> variety show since season 1…
A ‘true fan’ of this series.
‘Isn’t this exactly what they call turning your hobby into work?’
To be able to see all the content of that <Hunters School> faster than anyone and more than anyone!
Even legally during work hours!
Sip-
Moreover, this season 3 had more than just one or two rookie hunters worth fangirling over.
So naturally, Ye-rim was in a situation where she hadn’t chosen her favorite yet.
Having somewhat hipster tendencies, she wasn’t particularly drawn to perfectly flawless types like Seong-hwan Lee.
Rustle-
Ye-rim, who had been fidgeting with the jelly bag in her left hand, showed a satisfied expression as she looked at the monitoring list assigned to her.
Due to her lowest rank (?) within the team, she ended up in charge of participants with relatively low expectations or importance, but…
That was actually better.
Discovering her own little player was much more appealing than supporting major participants that everyone else liked.
While thinking such thoughts and chewing on jelly, the voice of her partner sitting next to her reached Ye-rim’s ears.
“Writer, the current angle we have is adequate, right?”
He was none other than Park Dongsu (34), Kim Yerim’s partner.
An assistant manager from the technical team and observer controller.
“Yes, Assistant Manager. The basic angle seems fine for now…”
Though they were from different departments, they had collaborated several times before, so they had enough familiarity to converse comfortably.
“If you need anything, please let me know right away, Writer.”
So Ye-rim could comfortably make requests to Park Dongsu whenever needed.
“Then, Assistant Manager Park. First, please zoom in on monitor number 3.”
Ye-rim began analyzing the appearances of the three participants assigned to her in order.
She thought all three were participants with their own charm, but she hadn’t found anyone particularly captivating yet.
In that sense, first, the first participant.
The notable point was… that he was the same class as this season’s top prospect, Seong-hwan Lee.
■ Name: Choi Minseok
■ Player Name: Grick
■ Age: 27 years old
■ Class: Shield Warrior
■ Level: 43Lv
After focusing on monitoring participant Choi Minseok for a moment, Ye-rim showed a slightly disappointed expression.
‘Hmm… actually looking closely, this person is a bit bland.’
Quite properly handsome appearance… and a decent player with a level in the upper ranks.
Even starting to search calmly immediately upon entering the dungeon was an impressive sight, but…
Was it because he was being compared to Seong-hwan Lee?
Unfortunately, it was hard to find anything that really resonated.
‘Should I… move on for now?’
But it was too early to be disappointed.
Actually, among the three participants she was assigned to monitor… the one she had the highest expectations for was this second player.
Park Dongsu zoomed in on the second monitor, and Ye-rim began focusing again.
This time it was a female player.
■ Name: Park So-mi
■ Player Name: Stella
■ Age: 24 years old
■ Class: Wind Archer
■ Level: 37Lv
Park So-mi was quite a beauty.
The moment she first saw her profile, she got the strong impression that if she were an idol, she’d be center material.
Not rough around any edges, what you’d call a ‘hexagonal visual’ feeling.
Her delicate appearance also matched well with the archer class.
So she had quite high expectations, but…
“Writer, there’s no problem, is there?”
“Hmm.”
When she zoomed in with the camera to look closely, her interest rapidly cooled.
‘She’s definitely pretty.’
She’s quite pretty, but… that’s the end of it.
Whether she had fierce eyes, looked like she had a story, or even had an innocent charm.
She needed to have that ‘one shot’ to hook viewers, but that was completely invisible.
She could definitely draw initial attention, but…
‘She’ll absolutely never gather a core fanbase.’
So it was really heartbreaking.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment would be the right expression.
‘Of course, it’s still too early to judge everything.’
She decided to move on to the next one for now.
“Should we zoom in on the third one now, Writer?”
“Let’s do that.”
But to be honest…
The third participant was the one she had the least expectations for among the three.
■ Name: Geon-ryul Lee
■ Player Name: Dave
■ Age: 36 years old
■ Class: Seraphist
■ Level: 35Lv
The first impression from his profile was… he looked quite young for his age, and ‘his skin is very pale’?
His level was also quite low among the participants, and the only thing he could appeal with was his unusual hidden class.
What is a Seraphist?
Just from the name, she had no idea what it was.
It somehow felt like a healer…
“…”
But the next moment.
I was zoomed in and thinking about various things for a moment, when I ended up making eye contact(?) with this man.
‘…!’
Horizontally long eyes without double eyelids, and somewhat languid-looking gaze.
Black pupils that contrasted with his white skin.
‘Wait, why… does he have that feeling?’
Ye-rim, who slightly adjusted her round glasses, slapped her partner sitting next to her on the arm and said.
“Manager Park! Zoom in a little more!”
“Who. That guy who looks like a homeless person?”
“Geez, just zoom in for me.”
“He doesn’t seem particularly noteworthy….”
Looking closer, something was different.
Looking carefully, his eyes seemed somewhat dried out….
“Maybe he’s just tired?”
His build was somewhat thin, but whether his frame was large, there was something prominent about him.
“He looks sick too.”
“….”
Whatever Park Dongsu was saying beside her, Ye-rim felt like she was gradually getting absorbed into the screen.
First of all, his actions were somehow extraordinary.
[As expected, it’s like this.]
After thinking about something, he suddenly walked out to the middle of the road and casually touched the streetlight debris.
Clang-!
[As expected.]
Nodding as if he understood something, this time he approached the collapsed building wall on the side of the road and….
Swoosh.
He stuck his finger into a gap and rubbed something, then muttered once more with a meaningful voice.
[…Found it.]
A voice that was neither too deep and cave-like, nor light and high-pitched, but dry….
Ye-rim instantly got goosebumps.
‘Why is his diction so good?’
It seemed like ASMR material… should I say it had a unique charm.
While she was thinking that, Geonyul suddenly started taking aggressive action.
Crack! Crunch!
After tearing open the side of a vending machine with his bare hands and rummaging inside, he casually grabbed a few beverage cans and pulled out a heavy metal pipe.
‘What, wasn’t he a healer? With that build, what kind of strength….’
But the really interesting part was just beginning.
Participant Geon-ryul Lee, who entered a pharmacy looking for something, met Chloe Kang who was collapsed inside.
‘Wow… amazing. He found her?’
Encountering another player was quite an interesting point, so Dongsu also attached several more cameras and zoomed in.
But the next moment.
“…!”
Suddenly, an unexpected narrative began to unfold?
[…Don’t come closer.]
For some unknown reason, Chloe Kang’s voice cracked with pain.
[If you come closer… you’ll melt.]
Struggling to step back, her gaze glaring at participant Geon-ryul Lee.
‘I hate myself for thinking this in this situation but… why is this girl so pretty too?!’
Despite that sharp voice, participant Geon-ryul Lee approached Chloe with his usual dry expression.
[Tap-]
Then he lightly kicked a Tylenol box that had fallen on the floor… and opened his mouth toward her with a dry voice.
[Chewing painkillers all day won’t help. That’s mana backflow.]
[…How?]
[You can tell just by looking. Your whole body is overheated and full of fever, so how could those over-the-counter drugs help?]
What is… this?
[What are you… doing?]
[Wait. I’m making a prescription.]
The man skillfully took out medicines from the convenience store and used farmed items to make something.
And even….
[Put it on your heart. We need to cool the engine first.]
The bright blue gauze mass he created instantly calmed Chloe’s mana rampage?
[Hisssss-!]
Kim Yerim couldn’t hold back anymore, and her voice began to leak out.
“Hueok….”
[But you, what exactly do you do?]
[I healed someone, so I must be a healer.]
[Your methods are rough for a healer.]
“Hueoeok…!”
[It won’t be free. What do you want?]
[Hmm. Well. What I want is….]
And the next moment.
As if thinking about what to say for a moment, participant Geon-ryul Lee hesitated slightly….
When he delivered his final line to Chloe with his usual dry expression.
[Want to party with me?]
“Hueoeoeok!”
Kim Yerim unconsciously jumped up from her seat.
“Writer, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
This works.
At least there’s definitely demand.
Ye-rim’s instincts as a specialist in unusual content(?) began to activate instinctively.
