“Why are you looking at me like that? It hurts my feelings.”

At the reaction filled with sincerity, Yeon-woo made a crying face.

It was because he had poured effort into magic in his own way during the early stages.

“What do you mean hurts your feelings? It’s not at a level you can call magic.”

“This is normal. I haven’t stacked up my proficiency much, but it’s Common grade magic anyway. But for a Unique grade to be like that from the start… isn’t it too broken? You didn’t even equip the staff you received, right?”

– Insanely broken.

– I can’t sleep because it’s so unfair.

– Going to rip Julio apart right now.

Yeon-woo and the viewers who were genuinely feeling it was unfair.

However, the effort and time Han-bit poured into magic was to a gross extent.

The title merely brought the product of all those experiences into this game.

‘Even so, to have this much difference…’

The magic Yeon-woo used was wrong starting from its structure.

There was a possibility it was Julio’s fault, but he needed to look at a more fundamental problem here.

Even if there was an absolute difference in grades, his attitude towards magic needed to be completely reformed.

“Isn’t your method wrong? Magic originally isn’t something you can just do with a click.”

“Hyung, did you forget you created your character yesterday?”

“I’m saying you at least need to have an abundance of knowledge. Magic is math. Even if you don’t touch the magic circles, you have to precisely calculate incantations and mana manipulation stitch by stitch.”

“Uh…”

– ?

– His theory is crazy. Lol.

– The magic written exam was real.

– A true magic expert. Shivers.

– The chuunibyou is acting up again here…

– Ahem, please only type ‘Agreed’.

Despite the sincere explanation, the viewers teased him as if it were entertaining.

Letting out a sigh, Han-bit shook his head and said.

“Let’s just think Unique grade is good. And I won’t use the staff for the time being.”

“Why? Even basic weapons are precious for main skills.”

“It’s not even a main skill, and for magic, higher convenience is better.”

Magic weapons like staffs greatly influence the power of magic.

However, considering the combat Han-bit’s body was accustomed to, bare hands were more comfortable.

“… You’re not going to use a Unique grade skill as your main?”

Yeon-woo fixated on the statement that it wasn’t a main skill.

Making a dumbfounded expression, he continued speaking as if trying to persuade him.

“Hyung, I really don’t recommend magic, you know? But Unique grade is different. I’m telling you, you have to push forward with that.”

– I agree.

– He’s acting like that because he still doesn’t know anything.

– The level of someone who doesn’t know games.

– Where did the magic expert go. Lol.

[LittleMage has supported 1,000 won.]

[If you don’t know magic, just shut up and use it.]

The viewers fervently scratched his nerves through the chat.

Watching Han-bit’s expression change, Yeon-woo urgently cut in.

“Ay, everyone. This is all for the broadcast content. Right, hyung?”

“It’s not for broadcast content; those people are just treating me like a chuunibyou. Despite knowing nothing about magic themselves.”

These words were sincere.

If he had his way, he wanted to grab them and explain theories all day long.

However, the viewers flared up even hotter.

– Truly a magic expert. Lmaoo

– Official) The viewers know nothing about magic.

– I’m sorry for not knowing magic, but your pride is too much.

– As expected, otakus are different. Did you learn that from a web novel?

– Was there no mention of Unique grade being good?

Click.

Watching silently, Han-bit just unceremoniously turned off his transmission screen.

“You turn your camera off too.”

– Ah.

– Sry Sry

– We’re sorry;

– Are you sulking? Lol.

– It’s that bastard. That bastard did wrong.

– Yeah, he’s in the wrong.

The viewers who had been fervently teasing changed their attitudes in an instant.

[SmallSpender has supported 77,777 won.]

[I’m sorry.]

Following that, a large donation appeared.

Taking a brief pause, Han-bit purposefully let out a loud sigh and said.

“I will let it slide just this once.”

– Lmaoooo

– A 7 jackpot is respectable.

– Information) Financial therapy is a traditional treatment method.

Turning his transmission screen back on, Han-bit inwardly marveled.

‘So this works like this?’

Although it was a justified rebellion, the returned result was too good.

To think he could receive donations in this form as well.

Ding.

Right then, another donation popped up along with the alarm.

[Cuckoo has supported 1,000 won.]

[Breaking News) Turf wars breaking out in the field because of the Bomb Slimes.]

“… Turf wars?”

– There are so many people that there’s no spot in the forest.

– 30-year-olds are fighting over hunting spots.

– No, I’m telling you this is really dog sh*t.

– Tried to do it exactly below the cliff and died 3 times.

– Black Dragon, how do you catch this.

– Any tips?

As the topic of Bomb Slimes came up, inquiries began to pour into the chat.

Since he had already cleared the quest, there was no problem for Han-bit even if he told them.

“Hyung, wait a minute.”

Just before he opened his mouth.

Grabbing his arm, Yeon-woo looked at the camera.

“You guys might not know this well, but Black Dragon hyung is a true hardcore fantasy fan. He’s extremely knowledgeable about RP even outside the game system. From the worldview to things like monster ecology.”

– A hardcore fan with that face?

– Shall I show you what a true fan is?

– I told you not to get heated over character faces;

– There are quite a lot of people who like RP for its fantasy rather than the game.

– For real, if you dig into it intensely, it’s madness itself.

– But isn’t it just because he read the original web novel?

– The fact that he even read that…

With Yeon-woo’s appeal, the viewers’ perception tilted rapidly.

Grabbing the scruff of his neck, Han-bit gritted his teeth and asked.

“Are you just planning to nail me down as an otaku completely?”

“Wait, hyung. I’m telling you we have to seize an opportunity like this well.”

Flapping his hands, Yeon-woo whispered.

Quickly slipping away, he continued speaking towards the camera.

“The conclusion is that we won’t do it for free. Do you know how hard this hyung researched for this result? Disclosing the Atsbel route was free, but asking us to immediately drop the full strategy is too harsh.”

– I agree with that.

– Corporations sell high-tier information for hundreds of millions.

– It guarantees a Hero grade, so it’ll probably fetch a good price?

– Since it’s a Rank 1 skill, it’s not that much.

– Yeah, strictly hidden skills are what’s expensive.

– Do you look down on Hero grades?

Han-bit observed the divided opinions and asked Yeon-woo.

“How much do hidden skills go for?”

“Depending on the type, they can command whatever asking price you want. Since they’ve barely ever been disclosed in the first place.”

“Is that so?”

The hidden skills he saw on the recommendation list.

There were some where he thought ‘Why this?’, but what mattered was that he knew all of them.

‘It’s ambiguous to sell them.’

He could sell them right away, but the order was wrong.

As long as a ‘First Clear Reward’ existed, wouldn’t order matter for hidden skills as well?

Considering that, the priority was to obtain them himself first.

Ding.

[Newbie has supported 1,000 won.]

[Please;]

[NoEndStream has supported 9,900 won.]

[Aren’t you doing a special sale?]

Yeon-woo’s inducement had worked properly.

Because donations coming out right on cue were pouring in.

[FlameCharisma has supported 100,000 won.]

[I’m showing my sincerity. Fire magic, please.]

“FlameCharisma! Thank you for another 100,000 won donation!”

“Oh, you’re quite generous. Thank you.”

The 100,000-unit donation detonating again was intense.

Yeon-woo, who was doing a reaction, sneaked closer to Han-bit.

“Hyung, I’ll just reply to a message real quick.”

“Message?”

“Yes. Some other streamers and corporations are contacting me. But they’re all just punks, so I’ll appropriately just leave a foot in the door.”

Speaking in a whisper, Yeon-woo began to move his hands busily.

Han-bit turned his gaze to the chat window.

“You gave a whole lot. At this rate, I have to give a hint.”

Although a donation of 100,000 won was great, the accumulated small changes were also substantial.

If the continually checked amounts were combined, it would again reach hundreds of thousands of won.

– Thump thump

– Waiting in the forest.

– There are 10 people next to me, though;

– They’re all watching the broadcast here. Lol.

– I feel like I’m getting dizzy.

Han-bit briefly inspected the viewers’ chat.

He looked at the camera and asked.

“Don’t tell me you guys are still in that forest?”

– ?

– Isn’t that obvious?

– You caught them there;

“It’s the right place. I was just asking.”

– Phew.

– Almost called you an SOB;

– Seriously held it in well.

– You crazy bastard…

The viewers’ reactions going up and down with his single word.

Watching it as if it were fun, Han-bit resumed his explanation.

“As you saw earlier, there are guys that don’t explode. But they’re timid, so once it gets noisy, they don’t really come out. You’d be better off searching tomorrow?”

– Tomorrow?

– Truthfully, not a single one is visible right now.

– Gonna buy the fishing rod first.

Ding.

[ㅇㅇ has supported 1,000 won.]

[But if we don’t clear this quickly, doesn’t it mean they won’t give a Hero grade either?]

– ?

– Huh?

– What bullshit is this.

The chat window murmured at the unexpectedly appearing donation.

Not understanding, Han-bit looked at Yeon-woo.

“Is that true?”

“Uh… Wait a second.”

He moved his hands and quickly began searching.

And a moment later.

Yeon-woo looked at the chat window as if intrigued and formed a smile.

“This, you really should clear it quickly?”

– Is this real.

– Real?

– No bs.

At the bad news, the viewers showed doubt.

Since Han-bit was also curious, he threw a question to Yeon-woo.

“What is it? Is there a precedent?”

“There was a quest that was exhausted on a first-come-first-served basis.”

“First-come-first-served?”

“They say it was a structure where if you’re late, there are no rewards at all, or the quality gradually drops. Looking at Atsbel’s quest… is there a possibility it might drop all the way down to a Common grade at the end?”

– Shib*l.

– We’re screwed.

– Imma just stay up all night.

– I’m skipping work tomorrow.

– Please use your annual leave.

The viewers became as busy as if fire had fallen on their insteps.

Since it was a plausible story, a sense of crisis must have flashed.

Regardless, from now on, it was a story that had left Han-bit’s hands.

“Wait a minute.”

Han-bit took off his headgear for a moment.

In this state, it was said to enter standby mode.

“Skills are… here.”

Picking up the guidebook on the desk, he analyzed the skill strategy pages.

There were four Common skills you could learn in Edlen.

Offensive lines were Fire attribute magic, Archery, and Swordsmanship.

The utility line was Swiftness.

“This is indeed the same, but…”

The start of Swordsmanship and Archery were passive skills.

It was a structure where the active forms only appeared at Rank 3.

Since they genuinely emphasized the basics, it was also natural.

“Hmm.”

There were contents identical to his memory, and there were also differences.

Having skimmed the front section, he returned to the bed and wore the headgear.

When the screen returned, he looked at the camera.

“I’m back. Then shall we slowly go get other skills?”
