Chapter 15
“Seong Jihan, I got matched with Seong Jihan, it’s me!”
Streamer Golden Light pointed at Seong Jihan with his finger and rejoiced inwardly.
‘This is amazing!’
Their channel’s subscriber count had been stagnant recently, but they never expected to find such amazing story material in the Colosseum, and right next to them!
-Oh? Is that really Seong Jihan?
-Why is his equipment like that?
-Golden Light, kill that Seong Jihan brat right away!
-The members of the Swordking Clan are having another fit.
-Why is that traitor, who sided with the Japanese during the colonial era because of a woman, still clinging on? The Swordking Clan is a joke.
Chat messages poured in at least ten times faster than usual, focusing everyone’s attention on the scene.
Great.
When the tide comes in, one must row.
Golden Light waved his hand towards Seong Jihan.
“Mr. Seong Jihan! I’m a streamer, Golden Light! Can I interview you?”
Seong Jihan turned his head with an annoyed expression upon hearing his name called. He recognized the voice of the person talking to him, a man in golden armor trying to draw attention to himself by talking to the air and gesturing to his own appearance.
‘A streamer, huh? He’s not just streaming videos, but interacting with the viewers.’
Battle Tube streaming was common among Battle Net players. While it was less popular now due to the decline in interest from higher-ranked players, many players above the Silver rank still tried to gain popularity and GP by running Battle Tube alongside their gameplay.
‘But generally, they keep the chat off.’
Battle Net was where split-second decisions could turn the tide of battle. Trying to communicate with viewers in real-time could distract from important gameplay moments.
‘I might not keep the chat on once the game starts…’
Seong Jihan speculated that the streamer might turn off the chat when the game began to focus on his gameplay.
‘I should probably keep my playthrough on.’
Although he had no intention of engaging with viewers. However, while the audience’s attention was on him, he needed to boost his view count a bit more.
‘Besides, Seah needs to see my play.’
Thus, Seong Jihan changed his Battle Tube settings to live-stream his gameplay.
“Wow, that guy, he’s ignoring me, right?”
Golden Light looked at Seong Jihan, who was ignoring him, and appealed to the viewers.
Immediately, the chat exploded with comments.
-He’s not even looking?
-Wow, how rude!
-Golden Light-nim, I have a mission for you!

[Kill player ‘Seong Jihan’ and make him come last.]
[Reward: 200 GP]
200 GP.
Since 1 GP was officially linked to 1 dollar, 200 GP amounted to about 200,000 KRW (Korean Won).
-Hey, Swordking Clan! We need to take down that arrogant brat!
-Everyone, let’s join forces and crush him!”

[Kill player ‘Seong Jihan’ and make him come last.]
[Reward: 300 GP]
As one Swordking Clan member initiated the challenge, others quickly started contributing to the viewer missions.
In a matter of minutes, the reward for killing Seong Jihan had surpassed 10,000 GP.
Seeing this, the viewers were in an uproar.
-Goosebumps;
-The Swordking Clan’s firepower is impressive.
-They’re centered around the Swordking Clan leader. Even some big company CEOs are fans of Swordking.
-Wow… Just crossed 20,000 GP.
The rewards were rapidly increasing.
Streamer Golden Light burst into laughter.
‘This is incredible. Incredibleee!’
After Seong Jihan shattered Swordking’s Twin Sword emblem, he was well aware of the Swordking Clan’s hatred towards him…
‘But I didn’t expect them to be so eager to kill me, even pouring in GP like this.’
In reality, even if Seong Jihan were to die, he would only be de-leveled, nothing more. However, Swordking Clan’s grudge against him was so strong that they were willing to crowdfund for his demise.
‘It’s just money. I have plenty, too.’
But what was truly remarkable for this channel was the fact that so much GP was being bet on these missions.
Golden Light laughed heartily, waving his hands in excitement.
“Oh my, oh my. Sending me these missions! But let me tell you. I’m so scared of him~ Did you all see? Seong Jihan here shattered the emblem of Twin Sword with his ‘ki’. Do you think I stand a chance…?”
-The guy with all the A-rank gear is such a drama queen. LOL.
-Golden Light is revving up his motor, lol.
-Is 30,000 GP not enough for you?
-Is this really the channel for Swordking Clan?!
-Just press the GP button for the viewer mission!
Was it the middle-aged fans of Swordking flooding in?

…
The speed at which the GP was accumulating was no joke.
