The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 77
Constellation’s Game [Lyka]
The cheers of the crowd that had filled the massive dome stadium were suddenly engulfed in silence.
[KWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG-!]
The desperate battle of the participants who remained until the end.
The Sangam-dong Dome Stage, which had been filled with sounds of cheering for them, suddenly became quiet as if by some agreement.
“…!”
Everyone stopped moving, and it wasn’t just the audience.
Even the production staff who had been busily moving for the final grade determination event had their eyes fixed on the main screen at this moment.
[‘The end of Eternal Winter’ has arrived.]
In that silence, someone’s quiet murmur echoed through the air.
“What… is that exactly?”
The ‘Last Stronghold’ where the floor was completely covered with bright blue ice.
From the center of it, with a tremendous roar… a massive blue ice pillar shot up like lightning.
Even the surviving players who had been fighting fiercely couldn’t help but have their attention stolen by this phenomenon.
But what they found truly hard to believe was…
Ding-!
The World System Message that appeared before everyone’s eyes right after.
[Participant ‘Geon-ryul Lee’ has successfully defeated the boss ‘General Winter’ of 【Frozen Seoul】.]
[Boss defeat rewards will be granted to all players.]
[From now on, all players’ body temperature drop rate will decrease by 50%.]
So the participants, even after confirming that message with their own eyes, couldn’t understand it immediately.
“General Winter…?”
“What is that…”
“Boss? They defeated a boss?”
No, those who couldn’t understand this situation at once included the thousands of spectators and even the producers who designed this entire setup.
“It’s not… a bug, is it?”
However.
[CHWARALAK-!]
[KYAAAAAAAK-!]
When two Volcanic Drakes flying through the air simultaneously crashed to the ground with their wings torn.
Kuwung-!
Everyone couldn’t help but notice a massive crescent blade glowing purple at the top of the ice pillar.
The beloved weapon of General Winter, bearing the name Crescent of Eternal Frost.
Surprisingly, it was being held by a single player.
-Wait…!! Boss monster General Winter! A player who defeated General Winter has appeared!!!
Caster Kim Sinwoo, who had come back up to the platform to prepare for the grade determination event, shouted while unconsciously gripping the microphone.
And starting from that voice.
“WAAAAAAAH-!!”
“What?! Geon-ryul Lee? Who is that exactly?”
The entire Dome Stage that had become quiet began to be covered again with massive cheers.
“This is incredible!!”
“What kind of plot twist is this?!!”
The new participant who revealed himself on top of the ice pillar leaped down to the battlefield and struck down with the crescent blade.
[CHWAAAAAK-!]
And with that single spear strike, the elite monsters that had been troubling the survivors were torn apart like paper.
[KYAAAAAAAK-!]
[GRWOOOOOOOOK-]
[KUNG-!]
Moreover, it wasn’t just participant Geon-ryul Lee who newly appeared.
[SUHAAAAAAAA-!]
When thick purple poison mist poured down from the top of the ice pillar…
The elite monsters standing on the ground began to melt away like snowmen under sunlight.
-What kind of plot twist is this?! Are these perhaps the final hidden participants that the production team kept secret?
-The mentors also look quite flustered!
-Who is that female participant?
The second participant who lightly leaped down where the monsters had melted into puddles of blood.
When ‘Chloe Kang’ appeared as well, the cheers in the stage heated up even more.
“WAAAAH!!”
“It’s Chloe Kang!!!”
“Right! Come to think of it, Chloe Kang was among the participants too?!!!”
Unlike Geon-ryul Lee who had no recognition, with the appearance of Chloe Kang who had sufficient recognition, countless fans who recognized her jumped up from their seats and began taking flash photos.
But even so, the protagonist of this final scene had to be the mysterious participant named Geon-ryul Lee.
[KWAJIK- JJEOJEOJEONG-!]
Chloe Kang who appeared with poison magic also gave tremendous impact…
But it wasn’t at a level that could compare to Geon-ryul Lee wielding General Winter’s crescent blade and slaughtering elite monsters.
With the situation like this, most of the filming drones flying around the battlefield began to close up on Geon-ryul Lee’s every move.
The sight of Geon-ryul Lee wielding the crescent blade in a trance within that screen… began to create truly wondrous scenes.
Excited caster Kim Sinwoo poured out admiration while gripping the microphone until his voice became hoarse.
-According to what we heard from the production team…! General Winter was definitely a boss at an impossible level to defeat!!
-But now two players who had never appeared on the main screen even once!! Rose from the middle of the battlefield after defeating that General Winter!
-I absolutely need to hear an explanation for this! Anyone can see this was ‘intentional’!
-No, PD-nims…! If you deceive even me, what am I supposed to do?!!
Kim Sinwoo was a big fan of this 【Hunters School】 series before being a caster.
He had been the caster for 【Hunters School】 since season 2…
There was even a story that he was so impressed(?) by season 1 that he went to the production team and begged to be the caster.
Therefore, Kim Sinwoo’s current expression and gestures could never be fabricated.
In fact, the current situation of him holding the microphone and doing commentary that wasn’t commentary was also completely unplanned with the production team.
-But how is that participant slicing through elite monsters like cutting tofu?
-Could it be an even higher level than participant Seong-hwan Lee…?
-Oh my god! It’s level 35! What on earth is happening right now?
-Oh, everyone! Don’t worry! Official word from the production team came in… they say it’s completely the result of normal gameplay!
Although things that were hard to understand logically were happening inside the screen, most of the audience at the scene were purely enjoying this situation itself.
“Kyah…! Who were the guys saying it smelled like season 3?”
“The dopamine is crazy, sheesh…!”
“What is this legendary opening?!!”
To think about this and that critically, the dopamine from this situation itself was overflowing too greatly.
-Ah!! Half the wave was swept away in an instant!
-The survivors guarding the fireplace also got life back in their eyes!
-How many survivors are left now then?
-Seventeen! A whole seventeen participants are on the verge of winning the entrance mission!
The entrance mission of Hunters School had always been spicy in the past two seasons as well.
The first season’s entrance mission survivors were seven, and the second season’s entrance mission survivors were only three.
This fresh picture of seventeen participants about to survive was also an unexpected point and fun element for the audience.
And in this cauldron of excitement.
[KWAAAAAANG-!]
‘Participant Geon-ryul Lee’ who had become a fish in water was slaughtering all the elite monsters on the battlefield until the very end.
-That crescent blade! It’s probably equipment dropped by General Winter, right?
-It definitely looks like an incredible artifact.
-The secret behind this insane performance must be hidden in there!
-Even considering all those variables, participant Geon-ryul Lee’s skills are definitely overwhelming!
Anyway, with that unexpected twist that no one saw coming, the time finally approached to put an end to the last phase of <Frozen Seoul>.
[Just hold on a little longer! We can see the end now!]
[Heat Bead… if anyone has extras, please give us some support!]
[One just dropped over here!]
[The fireplace! Protect the fireplace first!]
And… after this final 5-minute death struggle came to an end.
Ding-!
[Since the boss monster ‘Dongjang-gun’ has been defeated, elite monster waves will no longer be generated.]
[All monster waves have been annihilated.]
[Conditions have been met.]
[<Frozen Seoul> dungeon is cleared.]
With that unexpected System Message that no one saw coming… the entrance mission for Hunters School Season 3 had completely ended.
[Entrance mission complete!]
[Final survivors: 17 people]
[Final rankings for the entrance mission will be calculated shortly.]
“Waaaah!”
“Not just survival but a clear!!”
“Isn’t this the first time an entrance mission dungeon has been cleared?”
The audience members were all frantically pressing their camera shutters toward the clear message displayed on the screen.
Despite nearly 4 hours having passed since filming began, not a single person among the thousands of spectators who came to Sangam Stage had left their seats.
The narrative of the entrance mission had concluded, but now what filled the audience’s minds was the ‘final ranking’ of this grade determination battle.
And before the final grade evaluation results were announced.
-We were honestly quite surprised by participant Hajun Park’s appearance following Seong-hwan Lee!
-Could this be the emergence of a new participant who might surpass those two participants’ dominance…!
Even though all missions had ended and no video was being broadcast on screen, caster Kim Sinwoo was spitting as he talked with the audience about that final twist.
-Even so, isn’t it unreasonable to compare a level 35 participant to Seong-hwan Lee?
-Well! Regardless of the facts, at least for this entrance mission…! Isn’t it true that participant Geon-ryul Lee surpassed the impact shown by all other mentee participants?
And all this spectacle inside Sangam Stage…
Was being written into articles at this very moment by quick-moving reporters.
[<Hunters School 3> entrance mission of unprecedented scale held at Sangam Dome Stadium!]
[Cooperation and competition! And the final twist!]
[<Hunters School 3> caster Kim Sinwoo declares ‘legendary season’ during live commentary.]
[Who will be the final winner of <Hunters School 3> grade determination battle?]
Real-time community buzz was also beginning to explode across all <Hunters School>-related communities.
