36 Chapter 36 – Quest Complete!
A burst of laughter rang on the 50th floor of Biozone Entertainment's building. It echoed against the wall and filled the empty office at once.
Even if this was called an office, it was actually more like a remote home. No one was here except for the team leader, who was responsible for reporting to the Chief directly, Taka Mir. The others were working through their VR capsule at home.
That was why he was free to laugh or cry whatever he wanted. The reason why he laughed loudly this time was because of Breeze's stream. After finishing his work, Taka was curious whether Breeze would be professional enough to keep silent in his stream, so he decided to watch.
It turned out his worry was unfounded, and he was surprised. He didn't expect that a veteran streamer and the newbie he invited would collaborate. Not only that, they were playing co-op Fort Siege, which would be the main program in 6 days.
It was such a coincidence, but Taka liked this. Neither Flexy nor Breeze had been informed who would join the program, so they were clueless about each other's situation. Thus, their livestream resulted in many funny and surprising things.
"That boy is really talented at reeling people. No, maybe a genius? It's like he's born to entertain people."
After knowing that the co-op streaming didn't work due to their splitting ways, Flexy suggested that Breeze change the content to a learning one instead. His change was also smooth, ensuring he died while he failed to do the wall run.
"Both of them make a good partner. At least they have a similar way of thinking and actually complement each other pretty well. And this…"
The floating hologram screen in front of Taka showed Flexy's serious expression as he ran toward the wall. He imitated Breeze's movement and jumped. One step, two steps.
Just right after his second foot hit the wall, he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground head-first.
"Hahahaha! He had done it five times but is still unable to?! Is he doing this on purpose? His synchronization is more than 92%. He should be able to do this quite easily with his mechanic. Or…" Taka's voice lowered slightly. "Is this movement technique that hard?"
Not every streamer was a player with good skill and mechanics. In fact, only around 15% of the top streamers could compete with real professional gamers.
Flexy was one of the rare streamers whose skill almost matched professional gamers. His control in VR was also top-notch. If he didn't play around and failed to try to replicate that movement, then it would be safe to assume that Breeze's mechanics and control were even higher than his.
"I got a jackpot! Hahaha, the program will be exciting. Should I pair both of them together?" Taka caressed his chin which was filled with a soft beard, thanks to getting stuck inside this office for a while. "This might become an exciting fight." He smiled widely and began to type on the keyboard.
Taka kept watching the stream until the end, and Flexy finally was able to take the third step on the wall before falling.
The speaker boomed loudly as Flexy screamed and high-fived Breeze. Donations poured into both streamers, and the livestream ended shortly after that.

"Phew… That wasn't as tiring as usual, but Flexy's energy was too much for me. At least he was satisfied and managed to do a first-level wall run. He's pretty good."
Max climbed out from the opened capsule. He was drenched in sweat like usual, as the air conditioning in his old capsule wasn't as good as the new one, and he was actually exhausted from concentrating on virtual reality.
His clothes were already wet and sticky. It was too uncomfortable, so he took it off and wiped his sweat using the towel he prepared beforehand as he sat on the bed. After his face was clean, he hung the towel on his shoulder and smiled.
"But thanks to him, I managed to finish my quest."
<Quest:
- Can I Eat from Donation?!
Obviously, a streamer needs money!
Let's get your first donation milestone before the end of Knight's Journey.
Progress: 92,650/50,000 Diamonds or 1,853/1,000 Dollars
Reward: 1x B-Grade nutritional supplement.
Deadline: Fifth Livestream (3/5)
Failure to complete the Quest will result in the system being uninstalled.>
<Quest is completed excellently! Your reward and the bonus will be sent to your address in the morning!>
"So it will be sent to my home?" Max sounded a bit disappointed as he sighed, "I thought it would appear magically. Like popping in front of me or on my table or something like that. But I guess this is also fine. Nutritional supplement is said best to consume in the morning before exercise, after all."
Breeze wasn't expecting to get a bonus, but he still looked forward to it. Free stuff was always welcomed.
"And this donation… It's my record."
In just one stream, he managed to get 57,050 diamonds. It was far more than what he got in the past two days.
The 50,000 diamonds were from Flexy; That meant he only got 7,050 diamonds from his viewers. It was less than he thought, but he only showed his move thrice and didn't do anything flashy. Still, that much was still worth more than $100.
Max wasn't disappointed with the result. There would always be days like this where he got less than viewers. What was important was that his followers in Punch finally broke the 500 milestone, and his viewers peaked at 1562 earlier.
"I will be able to get more donations once I finish the main story. But my money in the bank is still around $2,100 after registering at Galaxy Gym. I won't need to worry about electricity bills or meals anymore."
Punch always paid out the donations and everything every 1st and 15th of the month. It had been 5 days since he transmigrated on 2nd April. The next paid-off would be in 8 days, 2 days after the Knight's Journey program.
"Well, I don't need to worry. Even with the cut and the tax, I probably will still make at least $1,500 next payoff." Max smiled in satisfaction. There was also still $1,500 from the contract. "I can say I am pretty well-off now. At least better than before. Also…"
He looked at the floating window in front of him. Information about the new quest appeared after he pressed finish for the previous quest.
<Quest:
- Come at me!
Good streamers are not only funny but skilled!
Finish the Knight's Journey main story without getting a scratch.
Progress: 0/1
Reward: Streaming Loading Screen and a Mysterious Reward!
Deadline: Second Livestream (0/2)
This is a bonus Quest before the next one. Failure will result in nothing!>
It was slightly strange, calling it a bonus quest and actually no failure penalty.
"I guess this is a challenge for me, huh? This loading screen is essential if I want to take a break in the middle of the stream. This system knows how to motivate me to finish the quest." He chuckled and stood up, pulling the towel down his shoulder. "For now, I will just take a shower and rest. I need to exercise a lot to maximize the supplement effect tomorrow."
