Chapter 547
Chapter 547: Broadcast Start (3)
└ Yujin, I was a GPS in my past life!!!
└ Did anyone screenshot it?
└ Yujin, first off, there was a three-horned lizard on the left, I saw it with my own two eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
└ The right path has black birds! Eyes super red, shaking shaking, isn’t the middle path better?
└ Yujin, if you go left, you’ll find my house!!!!!! Let’s live together!!!!
“Thank you~ But houses shouldn’t be here since it’s a dungeon. For reference, our house is in Seocho-dong, Seoul, Korea~”
As expected, many people saw it. I asked for a more detailed explanation. Then I pulled out my phone.
“So it looks like only the middle path has no monsters.”
Instead, the path was rough enough that I’d have to go on foot. That’d be hard with my stamina. I pulled out the smartphone’s stylus and started drawing.
“Normally I should be telling you this while editing reference materials, but Chatterbox, are you watching? Can’t you provide real-time reference materials? If not, that’s fine.”
Red-eyed crows. Hmm…
└ hyj doesn’t seem to have that talent
└ even the breeding facility naming contest…
Someone posted a screenshot of the breeding facility naming contest announcement in the chat. Agh, Haeyeon must’ve taken that down quickly, but you saved it in the meantime! Still, it’s readable. It’s not that bad.
└ lololololololololololololololol
└ put english subtitles
As expected, there are foreigners too. It seemed the text in images posted to chat didn’t get translated. I drew a red-eyed crow on my phone and held it up. Yeah, laugh away.
“I should mention ahead of time—I was asked to advertise this phone! But it’s not a sponsorship. It’s a phone I bought and use myself. To add a bit more, there’s a good reason hunters mainly choose this phone! First, it’s sturdy! Second, it’s sturdy! Third, it’s sturdy anyway! Even high-rank hunters who make over a hundred million won a month find replacing phones annoying. Yuhyun and Yerim use this phone too. When I’m taking care of the kids, my phone ends up flying around like a ball all the time. If it were fragile, it wouldn’t last even a week!”
It was an ad, but it was true. Even with data syncing, how annoying would it be? It’s even more annoying if the SIM card breaks.
“In early next year, Hunter Edition 2 is scheduled for release, a smartphone with enhanced SIM protection~ The part where you insert the SIM is made from dungeon byproducts!”
That should be enough. Feeling a bit embarrassed, I cleared my throat once and returned to the main topic.
“Forest terrain, red-eyed crows. There’s a high probability they’re B-rank monsters ‘Black Garde.’ By any chance, weren’t just the tail tip center and claws dark green?”
└ yesyesyesyes
└ I saw it, that’s right
“They’re monsters that travel in groups of at least ten to as many as over a hundred, and they’re quite clever. Excellent vision, fast speed, perfect teamwork! They’re very troublesome monsters, but their night vision is poor and their sense of smell is weak too. If you see red-eyed crows during a dungeon break, hide somewhere dark! However, it’s midday right now.”
If I waited until night, all the viewers would leave. Even though there was supposedly no time limit, I was also anxious about dragging it out too long.
“Left side, three-horned blue lizard.”
I drew another picture. I diligently colored it too. Is it that funny? Yes, I’m satisfied that you’re finding it entertaining.
“A-rank monster ‘Desert Punti.’ Usually, at most only one or two of these monsters appear simultaneously. If you encounter one in a sandy desert terrain, it gets annoying.”
I tapped the ground with my foot.
“It’s very solid here. Is the terrain inside like that too? Yes, I see. Thank you! In other words, it can’t hide and ambush.”
I put away my phone and pulled out a bicycle.
“I don’t like pink—I received this as a gift. A jeep? That’s too noisy. They’d notice from a hundred meters away.”
Anything with an engine was easy for monsters to detect from far away. On the other hand, a bicycle was quiet. It wouldn’t be unusual mechanical noise compared to machines either.
“Zooming out!”
It didn’t show the sky high up like when scenes changed, but when I tested it, zooming out to maximum significantly increased the field of view.
“Please let me know if you see a lizard~”
At the request for a heart, I made one with my hands again. I’m not Yerim, I’m a full-grown adult man… isn’t this embarrassing? What’s a bite heart anyway?
I got on the bicycle and started pedaling. Unlike the middle path, the left path was quite flat. Riding a bicycle under the bright sunlight, sweat formed on my forehead and the nape of my neck. Still, I couldn’t take off even the Lynx jacket. I planned to hide the stealth skill as long as possible, but I’d have to use it if necessary.
└ lizard!
└ in front, in front!
Comments flooded the chat saying the desert punti could be seen in the distance. Thank you, thank you. I stopped and put the bicycle back in my inventory.
└ inventory so convenient
└ Han Yujin be careful ;_;!!
└ Director Han, stomp them all!!!!
“I’m S-rank in spirit.”
└ SF111111111
…Only in America. At this rate, it’ll spread to Korea too. I attached a detachable five-slot holder to the Lynx belt. I neatly packed items into it.
“This looks loose, but if the wearer doesn’t try to take it out, it won’t fall out even if you do a somersault. Made by Yu Myungwoo!”
└ as expected, Master of the Golden Forge
└ so good, wow wow
I agree. Myungwoo, are you watching! I’m still mostly fine. I then pulled out a crossbow. It was a weapon with something like a shallow pouch in the middle of the string so you could shoot things like stones instead of arrows. I loaded it and placed my foot on the canyon wall.
“I don’t have a flight skill, but I can do this. It’s all thanks to items, of course. From now on, shh.”
I’ll keep quiet for a bit. Channel locked!
I climbed up the steep cliff. After walking diagonally at an angle for a while, the giant bluish lizard came into my view too. Even from a distance, I could feel its massive bulk. Sharp claws scraped the ground, and thorns protruded from the end of its long tail. When I made a tense expression, the chat also slowed down accordingly.
└ wow why is the lizard so big… kind of scary
└ seems car-sized
└ no no, bus-sized
The massive lizard twisted its body with a wriggle. It sprawled as close as possible to the shade near the cliff, occasionally flicking its tongue.
└ seems like you could just pass quietly, with that bulk it can’t fly
└ go go go go
└ the lizard is cute
Slowly, quietly, carefully, I approached the edge of the cliff and reached out. Then—
Thunk.
I touched an invisible barrier. I want to explain, but I can’t speak.
└ dungeons are blocked like that sometimes, wide plains but transparent walls stuck in the middle
└ what?
└ mid-rank
Someone explained for me. There are hunters among the viewers. Well, of course there would be. So this was why it was a no-fly zone. In the end, it seemed difficult to pass by the lizard secretly. When I zoomed out to maximum again, information poured into the chat even without me saying anything. Among them—
└ over there ahead!
└ there’s one more
Comments went up saying there was another lizard. Oh, two of them. Perfect. I set the filming mode back to automatic and lightly waved my hand in the air. I’m going.
I moved forward while watching the lizard. Its long tail tapped the ground. Even though I’d reached almost directly above it, it hadn’t noticed yet. But with A-rank stats, soon—
Scraaape.
Its claws scraped the ground.
└ it saw you11111
└ run!!
The lizard raised its head toward me. As soon as our eyes met, I started running along the cliff. At the same time, the lizard’s sprawled body lurched up.
– Krrreuk.
“Desert puntis have tongues that!”
└ don’t talk!
└ Yujin!!!!!
Swiiish! Between the two short tongues, a whip-like long tongue lashed out. As soon as I leaped forward with all my might—wham!—the lizard’s tongue pierced through where I’d been like a spear. Dust rose and stone fragments poured down below.
“It’s incredibly long!”
└ we get it, we get it! run!
└ really no time to spare
└ looking for my liver, I think it just fell
└ that’s why he even talks back to s-ranks
The lizard chased me at high speed. Due to its body type and original habitat environment, it was a slow monster. But that only applied to high-rank hunters. Even if it was slow for an A-rank stat, it was faster than me.
The monster that instantly overtook me placed its front paws on the cliff. Its sharp claws dug into the stone as it tried to climb up. While running straight ahead, I placed an item from my waist onto the pre-loaded crossbow and fired.
Bang!
– Kirik!
It wasn’t a bomb. It was a flashbang.
“They live in sand in the desert, so their eyes are weak to strong light!”
└ someone shut director han’s mouth
“It won’t be able to chase right away!”
While Lizard 1 hesitated briefly, I ran like hell. Before long, another lizard came into view.
– Kyarrrr!
Having heard the explosion, it was already in an alert state. I kept running while pulling wrapped meat from my inventory.
“It’s monster meat. For the kids.”
Just in case, I always carried some of the kids’ food with me. I tore the packaging with my teeth and placed the fresh chunk of meat on the loaded crossbow.
“This is A-rank magic stone powder!”
And I generously mixed magic stone powder into the meat.
└ how much is that
└ if it’s A-rank, at least over a thousand
└ Director Han, just Peace’s food expenses for a month in my account
└ it’s coming from behind too!!
└ Han Yujin, you can do it!!!!!
└ Yujin, kill them all~~~;;;;;_;
Finally, after making a small cut on my arm and dropping some of my blood—
Ping!
I shot the meat chunk toward Lizard 2 ahead. The meat chunk stuck to Lizard 2’s body with a splat.
“Their defense is excellent, so they don’t dodge unless it’s a fairly threatening attack!”
└ lizard behind, lizard!!! this is insane
└ behind behind behind hyj shut his mouth please
Yes, yes, I know it’s coming. Giant lizards rushed at me from front and back. As soon as I dodged by lying flat against the cliff, Lizard 2’s tongue sliced through where my head had been. Even though I’d anticipated it and dodged in advance, it was really close. Then Lizard 1, which arrived next—
– Kurrrreuk!
└ huh?
└ what
—lunged at Lizard 2 instead of me. A giant mouth gaped open and sharp fangs bit into the thick blue scales. Lizard 2 fought back, clawing at Lizard 1’s neck.
└ why are they fighting each other?
└ the meat!
“Yes, that’s right.”
I quickly passed by where the lizards were fighting while lowering my voice. Kyarreuk, kireuk, loud sounds came from behind me. The ground also rumbled.
“Puntis have very weak kinship instincts. That’s why usually only one travels around. Even if they encounter each other, they’ll pass by if both are fine, but if one smells like blood? Feels like prey? Then they’ll try to eat each other, kinship or not.”
Once I felt I’d gotten far enough away, I turned off the adhesion skill and jumped down from the cliff. Thanks to being limp, I landed perfectly and quickly pulled out my bicycle.
“Editing team, if possible, please show the monsters fighting in a small window below~ Or you could make me the small window.”
When else would you see monsters fighting on a live broadcast? Other high-rank hunters would’ve just cleaned them all up. Plus, since monsters are also treated as animals, violence censorship would be less strict compared to people, like nature documentaries.
└ is Yujin really older than Yuhyun?
“Ah, I’m the older brother, okay? It’s just that Yuhyun grew up so well!”
While chatting and looking at the chat, I pedaled hard and escaped the canyon. At the same time, a message window appeared.
[Canyon Passage Result]
[You are a thief.]
…What? I felt wronged, but my conscience pricked a little too much to protest. Still, I don’t rob people unless they touch me first! It’s all been self-inflicted up to now! Before I could protest, my body was moved somewhere.
– Kieeeek!
A giant monster’s body burned pitch black. Han Yuhyun indifferently passed by the corpse as it collapsed with a thud.
└ hyh really doesn’t smile except in front of his hyung…
└ why are Peace and Han Yuhyun soloing instead of doing teamwork lolol
At the fork in the road, Han Yuhyun and Peace split up. Since there was no threatening presence felt, there was no need to take the same path simultaneously. Seok Gimyeong had asked them to stick together if possible for the broadcast, but it was inefficient in the current situation.
└ Yuhyun-hyung, I’m going to the military today but I’m watching your broadcast
└ seeing Yuhyun like this, he really looks just like Yujin zzz
I wonder if hyung is okay. Han Yuhyun, who had been walking, lowered his gaze to the chat. Stories about Han Yujin came up occasionally too.
└ if you’re handsome, you’re all oppa. Yuhyun oppa!!!!
└ Yuhyun, you want to go with your hyung, right? should I tell you where he went? just make a heart once
Han Yuhyun recalled the materials Seok Gimyeong had sent. He’d managed his image before too. However, in the early days of Haeyeon Guild, there hadn’t been much need to act. A minor orphan whose life was threatened by a dungeon break and awakened. Fighting at a young age to block dangerous dungeons. A young elite, the youngest S-rank hunter and guild leader.
He’d created a relatively dark image based on facts as much as possible that way, so it was fine to act blunt and cold. Because people packaged it themselves, thinking he must have been hurt a lot.
But now he’d reconciled with his hyung, and there were Peace and Park Yerim too. His recent image was generally bright. In other words, maybe he’d become something like an S-rank hunter who’d found his smile again in his family’s embrace.
So if possible, be a bit more friendly, think that Director Han Yujin is right in front of you! Recalling Seok Gimyeong’s words, Han Yuhyun looked at the air. Then he made a heart like Park Yerim had done.
“Hunter Han Yujin, is hyung doing well?”
