Chapter 14: A million won fan

It was the usual broadcast time.

Bulramyeon was once again diligently playing Wilds Hunter in Reality Mode.

Playing in Reality Mode was incredibly difficult.

But there was a mission prize for clearing it, and his pride wouldn’t let him give up.

Just then, a donation suddenly flew in.

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[Ramyeon, do you know about the Haerang Challenge?]

“Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, King of Clubs. The Haerang Challenge? And why the nickname change? Weren’t you originally King of Greatswords?”

He remembered the nickname because this viewer frequently watched his broadcasts and often donated.

-Welcome, commoner.

-King of Pfft ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pfft-King ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yo, commoner.

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[A lot happened… Anyway, have you heard of it?]

‘The Haerang Challenge, huh…’

What kind of challenge was that?

Bulramyeon tilted his head at the name of a challenge he’d never heard before.

Due to the nature of the game Wilds Hunter, challenges had always existed.

From ordinary challenges like clearing the final boss without fainting once, or clearing the final boss with only basic attacks.

To extraordinary ones like hunting a monster using only the Slinger, which deals 1 damage per hit, or hunting a monster using only the surrounding environment.

One such feat was his own Slinger-only hunt.

It was fortunate he had compromised with the viewers; otherwise, he would have had to catch a monster with over 9000 HP using only the Slinger.

‘I thought I was going to die back then…’

Even though he chose the monster with the lowest health, it took over 3 hours.

So, to him, who now shuddered at the mere mention of challenges, a new challenge was being proposed.

Worried about what kind of bizarre feat they had brought this time, Bulramyeon cautiously asked the viewer who had donated.

He had to first figure out what kind of monstrous thing it was.

“This is the first I’m hearing of it…? What is it this time, really? How much are you planning to torment me again?”

Unlike him, the chat window seemed to already know what the challenge was.

-Ah, that?

-I figured our Ramyeon would do it someday hahaha

-You have to try it at least once hahaha

-IKR hahaha

-Has anyone actually succeeded?

-It hasn’t been out for long haha

-I tried it and gave up immediately hahaha

-I didn’t even attempt it hahaha

-Seems like all the streamers will be trying to attempt that for a while.

The viewers were chattering amongst themselves.

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[Defeat both Domagirius that appear in the Reality Mode tutorial.]

“Defeat both Domagirius in the tutorial?!”

Bulramyeon couldn’t help but be flustered by the absurd statement.

“How do you even beat that!!”

He knew because he had tried it.

He knew how utterly ridiculous it was.

When he first attempted Reality Mode, he had managed to catch only one after 3 hours of trying.

And that was him, a veteran of the Wilds Hunter series.

Moreover, catching that one was nothing short of a miracle.

If the battle dragged on even a little, other monsters would intrude, and he had died more than once or twice because of that.

Catching that one was so impressive that it had circulated for a while as the “Bulramyeon Challenge.”

And now they wanted him to catch both?

Bulramyeon thought it was absolutely absurd.

“Why the hell does a challenge like that even exist?! No, who the hell started it? They’re not even human, seriously. No one would succeed anyway. This is just streamer torment!! I guarantee it, the person who made this has a terrible personality! No, it’s not just their personality, their entire character is rotten!”

He paused for a moment to catch his breath, then dropped another bombshell.

“If there’s someone who has cleared it, right? Then I’ll give that person a million won!! I’ll bet my bank account balance on it!”

Bulramyeon was raging, saying it was impossible.

The viewers just laughed watching him.

-Hahahahahahaha

-Indeed Hahaha

-Will Bulramyeon take responsibility for his words?

-You just dug your own grave, didn’t you? You’re in big trouble, right?

Seeing the viewers’ reactions, Bulramyeon began to feel a sense of unease.

“Uh… everyone, why are you laughing? This makes me very anxious…”

-Why do you think we’re laughing? Hahahahaha

-A super anxious Bulramyeon is hilarious hahaha

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[(Video Donation Link)]
[Bulramyeon, make sure to keep your promise.]

-Archived. Lol.

“What is this…”

Because of the timely video donation link, Bulramyeon stopped his rampage and had no choice but to quietly watch the video.

The woman in the video displayed unbelievable gameplay.

Despite her delicate appearance, she was wielding a greatsword as if it were a toy.

She even used the greatsword’s inertia to move her body.

This was nothing short of god-tier play.

The time it took her to catch both Domagirius was a mere 5 minutes.

And that was only because one of the terrified Domagirius ran away; if not for that, it would have taken less than 3 minutes.

Even considering that, unlike Baby Mode, there’s no set health, he never imagined she’d show such an unbelievable performance.

Bulramyeon, who had been watching blankly, snapped back to reality with a jolt and quickly shook his head.

“Don’t lie!! This is real? How do you catch two Domagirius in 5 minutes!! This must be a faked video!!”

After catching his breath for a moment, Bulramyeon continued.

“And how can someone who wields a greatsword like that be so pretty!! Even if it’s character customization, it doesn’t make sense!! So this is fake!! It has to be fake!! You b*stards!!”

-Actually, more than anything, her looks don’t make sense.

-Ooh-la-la, her chest is (message blocked).

-Ugly Ramyeon is fuming.

-This guy was just a loser sh*thead.

-Ramyeon, I’m disappointed.

-The Commander is disappointed in Ramyeon.

-Thumbs up if this guy is just like ramen crumbs.

-Just thumbs up hahaha

[Horong has donated 1,000 won.]
[But she’s also a streamer, is it okay to talk like that?]

At those words, Bulramyeon couldn’t help but freeze.

“…She’s a fellow streamer, you say?”

-Yup.

-Look at his eyes trembling hahaha

-Ramyeon-hyung, I won’t be far behind.

-Down

-Fall

-Down

-Fall

-Fall

-Down

-Kyah, Bulramyeon’s story ends here, folks. haha

Feeling his lips go dry and his fingertips tremble slightly, Bulramyeon cautiously asked the viewers.

“Uh… by any chance, where does she stream…?”

-Pajijik.

-Search for Haerang, and she’ll pop up.

-PingPu-sh*t.

Bulramyeon quickly searched for “Haerang” after seeing the chat.

And soon, confirming that a streamer named Haerang actually existed,

and that her VODs were available, he had no choice but to quickly retract his words.

“Wow… did you say the Haerang Challenge? Shall we give it a try?”

However, the awkwardness in his tone itself was unavoidable.

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[Commoner sh*thead, you know, right? One million won.]

“Yes… I have to keep my word. I’ll follow her first. Ha… a million-won follow, who would’ve thought.”

-Hahahahaha

-Bulramyeon, dismissed!

-It’s karma, isn’t it? Hahaha

-But wasn’t he also a commoner?

-That’s right hahaha

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
[F*ck… how far has the rumor spread.]

8 PM.

Dumchit dumchit.

Until a moment ago, Nyua had been watching other streamers’ broadcasts, bobbing its head.

Dragging that creature along, I started the broadcast on time.

Starting today, Nyua would manage the chat well, so I could focus more on both the broadcast and the game.

Since it just lazed around at home munching on potato chips, I had to put it to use like this.

As expected yesterday, the number of viewers was rising rapidly.

Just looking at the speed, it seemed to be 1.5 times faster than yesterday.

-Hae-ha!!

-Streamer, hi!

-Wilds Hunter again today?

-Is this the place that created the Haerang Challenge?

The chat messages were flying by as usual.

There were some strange chats in between, though.

-Look at those t*ts hahaha (message blocked).

It was immediately blocked by Nyua in less than 3 seconds.

‘I like this.’

Feeling satisfied with Nyua’s quick blocking, I nodded lightly.

At this rate, it seemed I could trust Nyua.

Watching the ceaselessly scrolling chat window, I lightly waved my hand towards the viewers.

“Pa-ha.”

-Hi hi

-Hello

After communicating with the viewers for a short while.

I launched the game with now somewhat familiar hand movements.

“I’ll start with Wilds Hunter right away today as well.”

-Good.

-Awesome!!

-Are we going straight to the new route?!

After a simple loading screen passed, the scene that greeted me was the forest where I had caught the Kukridyaa last time.

Since I had only carved it and ended the broadcast, it started from a proper point.

I took out the Kukridyaa’s materials and showed them to the viewers.

“First, since I’ve finished carving the Kukridyaa, if I take this, the Hunter qualification test should be considered passed, right?”

-Yup, seems like it.

-It was similar in Baby Mode.

-Though back then it was catching one Domagirius hahaha

-We didn’t even know Dante existed back then haha

After checking the subsequent chat messages, I nodded lightly.

“Then, first, I’ll return to the outpost and take care of that qualification test.”

-Okay.

-Since it’s a new route, will that be a bit different too?

-Curious.

Just as I was about to move, a donation came in.

[Bulramyeon has donated 1,000,000 won.]
[Hello Haerang-nim, I’m a fan ^^]

And it was a hefty sum of one million won.

-Huh?

-Hahahahaha Hyung, why are you appearing here?

-Fan, my *ss hahaha.

-When the f*ck did that b*stard become a fan? hahaha

-Ramyeon, just turn on your stream.

[Welcome, Bultaeshik (Burning Taeshik).]
