Chapter 883
“Please, please...”
Hyeonu closed his eyes and stomped his feet. He didn’t have the confidence to open his eyes.
‘It is over if I fail this time.’
He’d lost count of how many times he had failed so far. The gold he’d wasted had already exceeded 1 million. He spent that much money.
Hyeonu felt the joys and sorrows of life intensely as he stood in front of the enhancement capsule.
-Is it a success?
-I don’t know. We can’t see it until he shows it.
-Still, he must’ve spent a lot of money...
-Still, wouldn’t he recover most of it?
-Recover? I don’t think so...
The viewers had sympathy for Hyeonu, even though the reinforcement result hadn’t come out. It had already been three hours, and the gold consumed by enhancement alone appeared to have exceeded 1 million. This was natural since the minimum enhancement cost was 800 gold.
‘Is it a success...?’
Just then, Hyeonu lowered the hand that covered his eyes and opened his eyes slightly.
[0%… 10%… 50%… 100%]
[The enhancement has succeeded!]
[The enhancement figure has increased.]
[The current enhancement figure is +12.]
[Check the item.]
‘It succeeded?’
Hyeonu blinked with a disbelieving expression.
“Yes!!!!!” a beast-like scream emerged from Hyeonu’s mouth. “It is over!”
Hyeonu grabbed the spear from the capsule and ran straight out of the workshop. Then he started running around the city as if he had escaped being trapped somewhere.
-Wow, did it really succeed?
-Who failed the other day even though they spent 1 million gold?
-It ended with a return to 0, not a failure.
-Therefore, at that time, he swore a lot and wondered if this was content to take back gold.
-Are you a person who can do anything?
-By the way, what is that weapon? If it is an epic-rated spear... isn’t it extraordinary?
The viewers admired Hyeonu’s good luck. Hyeonu had obviously spent a lot of gold. It was an amount that most of them couldn’t have predicted. In real cash, it was more than one billion won. Of course, Hyeonu earned gold in Arena and didn’t convert it into cash like they did.
“Sigh... I’m sorry. I should show you a professional streamer, but... I was excited.”
Hyeonu ran around for a long time before coming to his senses and bowing toward the viewers. It was because he was intoxicated with the joy of being free from suffering.
-Excuse me, can you please share the weapon specs?
-I don’t want much. Just the attack power...
-One person is holding the first and second +12 weapons.
-It is just crazy. I am speechless.
The viewers didn’t even care about Hyeonu’s apology.To be honest, they thought it was understandable.
1 million gold—it wasn’t an amount of money that could be obtained by digging at the ground. It was a miracle if he could stay sane. Consequently, it was normal for him to act like this once he got the desired result.
“The item specs? I will show you. Just the attack power...”
Hyeonu nodded gently.
It wasn’t difficult to show the item specs—specifically, the attack power. No, it didn’t matter if he showed everything because the only thing that mattered was the item description.
‘Looking at the item effect, it is just an incredibly good spear.’
The effect of the Guardian’s Spear was literally just a sharp spear. There were no skills that expressed individuality. It was just a very nice spear.
“No, I will be generous. I will show you all of it. I will let you know what type of spear this is.”
The moment Hyeonu changed his words, the reactions of the viewers also changed.
-Really? You will show the spear’s information?
-Wow, you spent some money, so you’re trying to make money.
-Indeed, one million gold is a burden even on Alley Leader.
-I’m curious to see the spear that he spent one million gold on.
The viewers cheered for Hyeonu’s decision. The epic-rated spear that Alley Leader himself enhanced. They couldn’t help being curious.
‘I’m curious as well.’
[+12 Guardian’s Spear]
[A spear used by the guardians who devote their lives to protecting the ancient empire. The last guardian is the one with the noblest status. It was contaminated with something, but it is in a slightly purified state.
Rating: Epic
Restrictions: Guardian of the Luos Empire.
Durability: 9,999/9,999
Attack Power: 8,000 + 11,200
Effect: All stats +650, 120% increase in attack power, 60% increase in defense penetration.]
Hyeonu checked the specs of the Guardian’s Spear before sharing it with viewers. He wondered if there was any problem.
‘The specs have greatly increased just by the first stage purification.’
The attack power had risen by 2,000 compared to the original, and all stats and other effects had increased a bit more. The first time Hyeonu saw this, he naturally thought that the original Guardian’s Spear was probably a legendary item.
‘I just need to remove the item description and wearer restrictions before showing it.’
The item description was more important than he thought. In particular, items worn by top rankers like Hyeonu were often related to quests. The wearer restrictions contained more specific clues. He had no intention of showing the name of the Luos Empire to others.
“Here it is, everyone. Look at it as much as you like.”
Hyeonu deleted two things and shared the rest for the viewers to see.
[+12 Guardian’s Spear]
[Rating: Epic
Durability: 9,999/9,999
Attack Power: 8,000 + 11,200
Effect: All stats +650, 120% increase in attack power, 60% increase in defense penetration.]
The viewers were at a loss for words when they saw the information about the spear shared by Hyeonu. They had nothing to say. It wasn’t the item they had imagined. This was beyond imagination.
-?? 20,000 attack power?
-Is this right?? A 120% increase in attack power?
-60% increase in defense penetration? If it is this much, defense doesn’t mean anything...
-Is this really an epic item? There is no comparison with epic items.
They were filled with admiration and more admiration. There was nothing to say other than this. Vague envy rose in the depths of their hearts.
“Isn’t it a bit good? It is an item that was hard to get. It is a weapon worth enhancing.”
Hyeonu smiled as he spun the Guardian’s Spear that was shining with a pale blue light.
-This is only slightly good?
-It is a ridiculous fraudulent item...
-I think I can do anything with this one.
-Were the wearer restrictions removed? Even if I don’t see it, I think it will be very high.
-I don’t think an average person can wear it? Maybe it is possible for Teika.
-Teika will probably feel a bit bitter. He would be thinking that he should be holding that spear.
The chat window was on fire at the words that the spear was just a little bit good. In fact, the chat window exploded like a tanker on fire.
“If Teika could use this weapon... It would be good, but it is impossible because the conditions for wearing the item are a match only for me. It is really a shame.”
Hyeonu tried to regain public sentiment by saying words that didn’t match what he felt. However, public sentiment was burning like wildfire and didn’t return to its original position. Hyeonu’s choice was the same as usual. It was to escape.
“Then I will end the live stream here today. I will be back with the announcement of the event winner in the next live stream.”
Hyeonu’s live stream ended. He left with a +12 weapon.

“Teacher, I have come. Your proud student…!” Hyeonu shouted loudly as he walked near the straw-thatched cottage.
“Shut up. Can’t you see that your teacher is training?” Lebron’s voice rang out from an empty lot a short distance away from the cottage.
“Oh, are you there?” Hyeonu turned and headed to the vacant lot, not the cottage.
“Looking at your face, it seems that life is worth living.” Lebron frowned when he saw Hyeonu’s face, which had a rosy complexion. He was suffering due to a certain someone, so he became angry when he saw this person who was the opposite of himself.
“What do you mean by living? Until a few days ago, I was moving among corpses and bones.” Hyeonu shook his head. It was never comfortable. Besides, his stomach still hurt when thinking about yesterday’s bleeding.
“How is the war situation, Teacher?” Hyeonu added quickly before Lebron could say anything.
“The war situation... It is neither good nor bad, except for one ignorant guy.”
“Is that so? From what I heard... There is a story that Teacher is pretty bored, right?” Hyeonu gave a strange smile. He had heard it from the emperor.
“It isn’t boring; it is annoying. It isn’t a real battle, and I have to fight in moderation every time... I can’t just train alone,” Lebron uttered these words before realizing he made a mistake.
Fighting in moderation—this wasn’t something he should say to Hyeonu.
“Moderation? Is something going on?”
Hyeonu didn’t miss Lebron’s mistake. He rushed forward as sharply as a hyena who had found its prey.
‘What can I say?’ Lebron couldn’t come up with an answer straight away. His mind spun. He had to find an answer that wouldn’t make Hyeonu suspicious.
“Even if it is an alliance, they are still strangers. I can’t do good things for others, right?”
Lebron found the answer. It was a reason that anyone could understand.
“That is true. All the dark clouds over the empire haven’t been lifted yet. I can’t take other people’s things first.” Hyeonu nodded.
Lebron was right.
‘I thought he was just ignorant... Is he an NPC with a political flair?’ Hyeonu inwardly admired it. He thought he might have to change the way he thought about Lebron.
“So you are here to help?” Lebron secretly looked at Hyeonu.
“I naturally have to help. I have my own relationships... Isn’t that why I took care of things in the north quickly?”
“What relationship... You came down here because you couldn’t kill that guardian.” Lebron laughed at Hyeonu. Lebron might be staying in the East Continent, but he was up to date on information about the Yusma Empire. He couldn’t be ignorant about it since the nearby players kept chatting about Hyeonu.
“Who said that? I can’t beat a guardian?” Hyeonu asked with a frown. It was an unfair accusation. It wasn’t that he couldn’t win; it was that he didn’t want to win. He would be able to win if he pulled out everything he had and received the buffs from other priests.
“You? Win? Did they suddenly become weak?” Lebron sarcastically asked.
Hyeonu gritted his teeth. He knew it wouldn’t work no matter what he said.
“Then let’s try it.” Hyeonu couldn’t control his anger and attacked Lebron.
“Try it? Is that what you should say to your teacher? Saying such vulgar words to your teacher... Even if I raised my disciples incorrectly, this is too wrong,” Lebron said. He reached out his hand, and the branch that had fallen to the ground was sucked into his hand.
“It has been a while since I’ve taught you.” The corners of Lebron’s lips curled up.
“I won’t get hit as easily as before.” Hyeonu also made a meaningful expression. “I will accept your lesson well, Teacher.”
Hyeonu didn’t draw the sword hanging from his waist and instead injected magic power into his finger. His hand now held a spear.
