Chapter 79
Episode 79
“Kyuu… Kyuhyuu!”
“…Is that really true?”
X, who was listening to Yongyong’s words, sighed. I thought the flies would be attracted, but I never thought they would have already caught up!
‘I’ve heard of Hellhound’s name.’
X did not neglect to gather information. Thanks to researching various communities, I was familiar with the Hellhound’s notoriety. However, he was not an X who would be scared by things like hellhounds.
‘That’s because my target is War Machine. Because I can defeat most guilds on my own without any help. Well, it’s like a hellhound…’
Is the boss afraid of things like mosquitoes?
Overflowing with confidence!
But other than that, X’s face was serious. It was worth it. Because X didn’t realize that he was being tracked. I wouldn’t know it in normal times, but I felt like I needed to pay more attention to my boundaries when I had something important coming up.
‘By the way, I didn’t even think about Explorer?’
Asus, the same Mage streamer.
X also knew Asus, the leader of Explorer, well. Asus was also a streamer that boasted a fairly large number of regular viewers.
However, I never imagined that Explorer was targeting the 10,000-year coral tree and met Yongyong there.
X said while petting Yongyong.
“Why did this guy tell me such an important thing now?”
“Kyuu?”
“Well, it might not be a big deal to you.”
Asus and Explorer Guild seem to be out of the question for the arrogant Yongyong. In any case, Explorer didn’t have any ill will towards X. X stroked his chin and thought.
‘I guess they’re targeting Yongyong for pure purposes, right? ‘Things went wrong.’
Something has to be done.
It wasn’t difficult to resolve the misunderstanding with Explorer. All you have to do is reveal that the dragon you are chasing is your pet. But if you think about the repercussions that will come from that…
“But I think it’s better to hide it as long as you can.”
“Kyuuuu.”
“Anyway, there’s something more important than that.”
X thought deeply as he headed to his next destination.
The wider the radius of activity, the more entangled it becomes with various forces, including guilds. In particular, the shadow of a large guild with wide influence cannot be avoided. The hellhound’s chase is only the beginning.
X recalled something from the past that he had forgotten for a while.
“At that time, I thought I was going to die because I was so wronged. “Even thinking about it now makes me feel feverish.”
Traitors’ media play!
In the past, Lin Online’s Thanks to this, X, who was called the icon of Lean Online, lost many fans in a short period of time.
In various communities, there were a lot of posts criticizing X, the bloodless and tearless monarch. At that time, even though X was heartbroken, he realized one thing.
“Life is real.”
What if it’s dirty and dirty? The world only remembers the winners. Fair and fair? That is the most ridiculous thing. I bet my life on a game, but who can be fair when it comes to life?
X raised the corner of his mouth slyly.
‘It’s time to improve your acting skills while pleasing the guests!’
A colleague is someone you can trust and have your back.
There was no such thing as a colleague in X’s dictionary. Strictly speaking, it existed, but it was erased a long time ago along with the betrayal. However, if it was profitable, I was willing to at least act to survive. X’s brain spun rapidly.
‘I have to make it on my side, even if it means acting.’
Fate is not a game you can enjoy alone.
It is an online game where users from all over the world play together at the same time. Therefore, relationships with other users are very important.
Even if you are not directly related, you cannot ignore the influence of other users. To be honest, even now that he has not fully revealed his power, X can be said to be a thorn in the side of large guilds.
Starting with Mage Streamer, X was monopolizing things that even they did not have. However, except for crazy people like Hellhound, no one showed their teeth to X.
The reason was simple.
Because X was very popular!
X, who clearly made a mark with his battle with the sand monster from his first appearance, sometimes showed outstanding skills even while cooking small dishes.
Moreover, unlike other streamers, he has a friendly attitude. Thanks to this, X’s number of regular viewers ranked second, right behind Kaimus.
‘I need to attract viewers to my side more clearly.’
Angels who take their precious time to watch the broadcast and even give precious gold as a gift.
However, beyond just watching the broadcast, he needed people who would support him reliably in any situation.
“Something must go for something to come.”
Of course, it will not be easy to move the hearts of viewers. But X was confident. X hummed and hurried his steps.
‘Once the Ancient Kingdom quest is over, I’ll have to try some fun content. At the same time, I need something that can appeal to me… Anything that comes to mind right away will be enough.’
X has already enjoyed enormous popularity on Lean Online.
Thanks to this, X was able to understand the elements that users were passionate about and liked. From flashy and powerful skills and awesome items to conquering impregnable boss monsters. Even strengthening items boasting extreme odds!
It wasn’t that difficult for the current X.
X touched Yongyong’s smooth skin.
“Well, if we have any chance, should we at least show our handsome Yongyong’s face?”
“Kyuu? “Kyuuuuuuu!”
Yongyong raised his eyes as cutely as possible. X was thinking of playing a clown to get the viewers completely on his side. X, who had made a plan, shook his head.
‘But first, I have to succeed in the Ancient Kingdom quest.’
The Hellhound’s pursuit was also detected and dealt with, so there was no need to worry about it right now. Even if there was another chase, I was confident I could easily destroy it. For now, it was best to focus on the Ancient Kingdom quest.
“What kind of land…or rather, what kind of ruins are waiting for me?”
X walked towards the next ruin with a brisk step.

At that moment, the world turned upside down.
The official Meiji site was flooded with posts from users.
[Mㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋ I just saw it now and it’s a real dragon?!]
[I’ve watched it a few times and there’s no room to refute it]
[Can’t you see that it’s destroying rankers who say it’s flying? Haha, it looks cute, but it’s a real dragon lol It’s awesome. Really]
[Anyway, it’s so tempting to see the hellhounds being fucked like this haha I thought they were going to be punished ever since they were messing around with PK haha I guess I’ll spend some money to restore it haha Thank you, dragon!!]
Seongcheol Kim was looking at the monitor. I couldn’t help but be shocked.
“…A hatchling dragon really appeared?!”
Seongcheol Kim had a headache.
My mind was already busy with various tasks, and I even had to work overtime yesterday. I had just sat down and never thought I would be faced with a nuclear bomb like this. Seo Myung-woo, who watched the video first, said:
“I never imagined that a dragon would appear so quickly. “I have no intention or method of interfering with the users, but there is nothing that makes my heart flutter more than when my expectations are wrong.”
Beta simulation before Fate is officially launched.
The dragon only appeared towards the end when Fate World was heading towards its end. The destructive power that the dragon showed at that time was still vivid in their memories. Seongcheol Kim opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Sir, this is not what I expected.”
“That’s right. “It’s an incident that could shake up the entire Fate.”
“Whew. “That young thing has already knocked down the rankers.”
“Considering the growth rate of dragons, it may not be long before a huge quest called Dragon Raid appears.”
Dragon, the king of all rivers!
The dragons of Fate World have arrogant and warlike personalities and crave destruction. It was obvious that the NPCs and users, the owners of Fate World, would collide with the dragon. So I couldn’t help but be worried.
Seongcheol Kim bit his lip.
“…is there any chance of winning?”
“There is a good chance of winning. However, the damage will be enormous.”
“At least one or two kingdoms will be devastated.”
“If you stop at that point, you won’t have any wishes. Aside from such direct damage, I have no idea what indirect damage we need to worry about. From the light users who will die from the dragon’s breath without even knowing what’s going on, to the heavy users who make Fate their living…”
Seo Myung-woo went on to mention all kinds of terrible possibilities. Kim Seong-cheol, who was quietly listening, fell into deep thought. Because there was something I was more concerned about than the protest calls that would come in the future.
Seongcheol Kim opened his mouth heavily.
“Can you guess who your senior is?”
“what?”
“Why has a dragon already appeared in Fate World?”
“well? “I’m not sure yet, but there’s only one possibility.”
They both said at the same time.
“The user was involved.”
The appearance of dragons much earlier than in the simulation.
The only thing that changed from past simulations was the presence of users. Did the dragon appear as a result of the butterfly effect of the small actions of numerous users, or did it just happen at the hands of one person?
I didn’t know the details, but it was clear that someone pulled the trigger.
Seo Myung-woo asked.
“Which one would you like to be?”
“…It would be more fun if it was done by just one person, right?”
“I agree too.”
“In that sense, is Asus the most likely one?”
In the video, it seemed like Asus, unlike Hellhound, already knew Dragon’s identity. Considering his job as a legendary explorer, it would be accurate to say that he was tracking dragons.
Seo Myung-woo shrugged his shoulders with an expression of ignorance.
“That’s the most reasonable guess for now, but you know. In any case, I think the stock prices of Explorer and Asus will soar for a while. “It’s been a while since I posted it, but the number of views already is 90 million, 90 million.”
How much is the advertising fee alone?
i envy you. Someone has been working overtime all week…
Seong-woo Kim, who had been feeling hungry for a while, left and Kim Seong-cheol, who was left alone, thought.
‘…Should I like this or not?’
A dragon appears!
Even though he has little online time due to work, Kim Seong-cheol loves Fate more than anyone else.
Since a dragon, a huge piece of cake, appeared in such a fate, it was natural to be excited and have your heart pounding.
But at the same time, Seongcheol Kim was a game master. As I thought about the various tasks and repercussions that small hatchling dragon would bring, my vision seemed to darken.
Kim Seong-cheol let out a deep sigh.
“Okay, if this guy were just a little nicer, everything would be fine.”
Without a doubt, it is the best if it shows its presence when needed without causing an accident.
Kim Seong-cheol muttered as if he were spitting out something.
“Is the dragon, the symbol of destruction, really kind?”
Ranker massacre!
But he already had something to show.
Kim Seong-cheol gave up his vain expectations and soon started working.

A stern voice is heard.
“got it? “Can’t you just try to solve it on your own from now on?”
“Kyuuuuuuu!”
“Good answer. “The military discipline was very tight?”
“Kyuu kyuu.”
A red creature gently flicking its tail.
A giant rice cake that is shaking the world is acting cute in front of a man.
It’s an incredible sight to see, but how can people who haven’t even seen it imagine it? The man, X, smiled while stroking Yongyong.
“Please continue to treat us well, our good fortune.”
Good luck Yongyong!
It was an extremely subjective nickname that only X could call.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
