” Hey, I got more mileage than I expected?”

I muttered as I put the suit and weapons I was carrying into my inventory.

By adding together the 7,500 mileage points I received this time and the 3,800 mileage points that I had left, my total mileage amounted to 11,300 points.

I gained a little less than half the mileage I earned through the Fallen Academy in one go.

If you go to this world two more times like this, you will far exceed the reward you received back then.

“Is there a difference between a short comic and a full-length novel?”

At this point, the sample was too small to be certain.

First, I opened the tester state to raise my abilities.

Since I didn’t get any new souvenirs this time, I planned to invest most of my mileage into abilities.

[Name: Lee Min-ho]

[Abilities]

-Strength: 10

-Dexterity: 5

-Stamina: 10

-Intellect: 5

I wanted to raise both strength and stamina to 15, but that would require 6,000 mileage each, for a total of 12,000 mileage.

Number exceeding 700 mileage from the current mileage.

Every time I raised one ability level, the requirement increased by 100 mileage. Although it seemed small, it felt quite large.

To put it simply, you had to spend mileage that multiplied your current ability by 100 to increase your ability by one.

“I need to leave a little extra just in case.”

It was decided to raise both abilities to only 14.

[Name: Lee Min-ho]

[Abilities]

-Strength: 14

-Dexterity: 5

-Stamina: 14

-Intellect: 5

We used 4,600 mileage each, for a total of 9,200 mileage.

Remaining mileage is 2100.

Wow~

I feel the familiar feeling of my whole body tightening.

A warm feeling rose up inside my body, as if a sauna had been turned on.

It was a tolerable stimulus compared to when I invested my abilities before.

I muttered while wiping the sweat slightly seeping from my forehead.

“Now, every time I post one, 1,000 units disappear in a flash.”

Later on, there will come a point where it is difficult to raise one ability level with intermediate compensation.

When that time comes, there will be limits to growth with the status window. Rather than a limitation, should we say that it is a change in efficiency?

At first, physical ability was doubled with just 100 mileage, but now it is the same as having to use 1,000 mileage to increase it by 10%.

“I should get my growing ability as a souvenir.”

It doesn’t mean that the superpowers I have now aren’t growing. However, it must be seen that the basis is based on ability.

This is because output is determined by physical strength.

“Should I go into a work that has something like mana?”

An unknown power that appears very frequently in novels and comics.

It is usually depicted as an element that amplifies physical abilities to the extreme or allows the use of magic that bends the laws of the world.

I am confident that I can break a rock with my current strength. But if you want the power to destroy mountains, you have to go in and get a souvenir.

However, seeing that the output of superpowers also varies depending on physical strength, I somehow felt like mana would be similarly affected by abilities. For example, intelligence.

“Would you like to work on a project that will raise your abilities through training?”

I wondered if there was any way to save mileage.

There are many limitations in reality when it comes to training the body, which is currently at a level beyond that of a human.

“It’s a work that doesn’t have any problems even if you beat it to your heart’s content… No, I’d rather pick a martial arts story full of elixirs…”

While I was thinking about growth, my smartphone rang.

Tiririringㅡ

“What is it?”

It’s been a long time since I heard a ringtone.

The sender’s name on the smartphone screen was Jeong Soo-jin.

She is the one who received help to participate in Top Beast Survival.

Then our eyes met and we ended up sleeping together.

I received the call with a happy heart.

“Hello?”

-Minho oppa, what are you doing now?

“I’m just resting at home. Why?”

-We’re in big trouble! Quickly check the internet!

“Internet?”

The only thing that Jeong Soo-jin can talk about in such a fuss is Top Beast Survival.

I thought the last episode was coming out and that he was calling me to ask me to have a drink with him.

I quickly turned on my desktop and accessed the Internet.

A community site where stories about Top Beast survival are posted.

There, one page of the recommendation bulletin board, where the most recommended posts were posted, was bursting with content all related to me.

When I saw that, I burst out laughing.

“These bastards are burning fun rice cakes.”

[It’s a program where everything is planned out]

Is there any retard who really believes in the concepts that appear in these special programs?

-ㄹㅇㅋ

-Minho, did you trick me?

-Then, was it intentional that Jang Seok-gi lost?

Damn you, it seems like a fucking alpha male bastard trying to get on the bullshit coin.

ㄴJang Seok-ki’s match-fixing theory ㄷㄷ

-With that body, you can stay at home and play games well? Is there 48 hours in a day?

ㄴHonestly, do you think it would be possible to not watch the community for 5 hours a day like a gay person?

ㄴLooking at Henry Cavill, it doesn’t seem impossible?

Go!

-You can’t admit that you are better than me who only eats and plays games.

Son~ You’re not just playing games again, are you? Mom trusts my son

[These… I think these bastards should stop using the ‘Asa’ concept…]

(Pink, yellow, red, blue pictures)

If you get caught right away… if you tell them to kill you… no one will believe you…

-I hate the guys who are trying to take away all the memes, game skills, and shitty images…

-???: I had a good time playing with it~ but I’m getting a bit tired of it. I’ll give it back now!

Fuck you lol

-Ah haha, they said I would use it for a while and then give it to them haha.

-It was funny because it felt like I was imitating a monkey haha.

Looking at it, it seemed like there were many people who were interested, not because they were watching Top Beast Survival, but simply because of the provocative issue of ‘A newly famous person turns out to be a hacker?!’

And it felt like a lot of users had gathered in the game broadcasting community.

The first post that started it all, [Isn’t this hacker Lee Min-ho?] also started from there.

Perhaps there are even more bloody articles posted there?

To sum up the controversy roughly, everything I said in the interview was a lie.

And there was a clip of him using a hack during a previous live broadcast of another YouTuber.

I definitely played the game before the pre-interview.

It was a game called Apex Hunters, and since I had just gotten into a high-speed accident, I had fun shooting headshots.

There were some teammates who were quite annoying, and I think they were broadcasting while watching my play.

“I didn’t know they were broadcasters at the time, but it’s amazing.”

Well, while it was a controversy, various suspicions were being raised, but I wasn’t particularly worried.

When I first decided to become famous and applied to participate in Top Beast Survival, I was somewhat prepared.

Becoming famous by making your face known to the public can make you popular, but it can also increase the number of people who dislike you.

The reason could be jealousy, it could be gossip, or it could just be because you don’t like how it looks.

If I had been criticized like this in the past, I would have probably trembled. Because I’m afraid of malicious comments or people’s attention.

However, this amount is very light compared to the recognition I received while working as an agent at the Academy of the Fallen Kingdom.

At that time, I was treated like a real murderer.

Although the controversy is becoming a hot topic, it will ultimately be resolved once I show that I am real.

Ridiculous guys.

This doesn’t have to take long.

Because it can be proven right away.

First, I thanked Jeong Soo-jin for contacting me and hung up.

Then I went to YouTube and checked who the broadcaster was in the clip.

“The woman named Sarah… is Korean, Nice Bro? I guess he was a foreigner who couldn’t play games back then.”

In fact, I wasn’t going to focus on game broadcasting, and there was no need to explain unless the game company ordered me to suspend it anyway.

Top Beast Survival wasn’t even a game competition, so just ignore it. It was just that kind of issue.

However, it is difficult to have the image of people using nuclear weapons and lying about not using them.

Once you are framed as a liar, it will be difficult to take it off.

“It’s none of my business as a foreigner. Sarah, you can send an email to this person.”

I wrote an email and sent it to the address she posted on her channel.

[Hello, Sarah. I am……]

***

“Hi… In the end, the last merger didn’t help…”

Sarah checked the number of subscribers by refreshing every 10 seconds.

However, the rate at which the number of subscribers increased was slower than usual.

In that moment of downfall, there was nothing I could do other than tear out my hair.

“Kwaaaa! please! If this continues, when will we hit 500,000?”

Sarah, who boasts 300,000 subscribers, was clearly making enough money to be able to do live broadcasting and video uploads full-time.

However, being a YouTuber was very different from a stable job.

Each live broadcast and each video had to be evaluated by viewers. This floor was either growing or slowly sinking.

Due to the rapid decline in the number of subscribers after reaching 300,000 subscribers, she was anxious that the channel would not be able to grow further.

Even today, she came up with ideas like squeezing water out of a dried squid.

At that time, Sarah’s work email beeped.

Tiringㅡ

“……! what? Collaboration? Is it an advertisement?”

The email I hurriedly checked to see if it might be a good opportunity contained unexpected content.

[Hello, Sarah. I am……]

“……This was him?!”

It was an email from a user who had been labeled a hacker in her live broadcast clip.

And that user is the winner of Top Beast Survival, a broadcast that has recently become a hot topic…

Her mouth opened wide as the pumpkin rolled into her.

Originally, it was common for the person who won such a program to appear in the form of an interview on a related channel.

In that way, it is a strategy to increase awareness of participants and increase the number of views on the channel.

Because it was a program related to exercise, a person who was thought to have no connection with her requested to appear on the channel first.

“Top Beast Survival’s main viewers are young men and women… There is a lot of overlap in age with my subscribers.”

Sarah naturally came up with a quote, just like when she received a collaboration request from a YouTuber.

“Because interest is at its peak, if you appear on my channel now, you will be able to attract a lot of viewers…!”

The judgment that ‘This will definitely attract attention and pump subscribers!’ was completed in Sarah’s head.

“Reply… I need to write a reply quickly!”

Cracking crackling

Her fingers danced on the keyboard as she came to a conclusion in an instant.

With a cool acceptance, an email was sent to discuss schedule, location, and other matters.

Oh, oh… Oh, oh…

She muttered, biting her thumbnail in trembling.

“Seeing that you have contacted me so confidently, it doesn’t seem like a real hack… How can we bring more attention to the issue? Physical test? Should I try another FPS? It’s a nuclear explanation broadcast, so wouldn’t it be a bit much to ask someone to take off their top? Then……”

And a few days later, a post was posted on the community that criticized Lee Min-ho the most.
