Ranker's Return

Chapter 906

[Boss monster raid day.]

The moment Hyeonu turned on his live stream, millions of people flocked to Hyeonu’s stream.

A raid—it was one of the most enthusing content for those who enjoyed Arena. This word was hung in the title of Hyeonu’s live stream, so they couldn’t help entering.

-Does he mean killing a boss monster?

-Then the war is over today?

-Is that so? Then the East Continent war is over.

-I heard that the demon world has become honey again these days. Let’s go to the demon world.

The boss monster that Hyeonu wrote in the title—the viewers had a lot of questions about who it was. It wasn’t that they had no idea. They knew a strong candidate.

The god tribe that appeared every day. The member of the god tribe who alternately dealt with Raccoon and Lebron.

-All of a sudden, he is going to be killed?

-He can’t be killed alone, right?

-You can’t kill it even with buffs.

-Even Raccoon and Lebron can’t kill him. Now Alley Leader is killing him?

-It seems impossible.

Raccoon, Lebron, and the member of the god tribe whose name was unknown—alll three of them were powerhouses Hyeonu couldn’t compare to. The numerous videos posted by Hyeonu proved it.

“Of course, I’m not fighting and killing him myself. What strength do I have to fight?” Hyeonu coolly acknowledged this. It was natural. How could he kill Luke alone? He was an opponent Hyeonu couldn’t beat to the death.

-Then what about the raid?

-Who will do it for you?

-Who can do something that even Alley Leader can’t do?

-Who says that players must do it? NPCs can do it for him.

-Ah, like that time?

The main scenario where the bad relationship between Hyeonu and Edward began. At that time, it was very difficult to kill Edward with the level of the players. It was Hyeonu who came forward at that time. Hyeonu fought well against Edward. He was better than the dozens of people who rushed in. However, the difference in specs was too much. It wasn’t a difference that could be overcome with skills. It was Lebron who appeared at that moment. Lebron killed Edward the moment he appeared.

The viewers recalled the situation back then. They thought it was possible for it to happen again this time.

“Everyone knows it well. You are correct. Today, I’m not the protagonist of the raid. The orc you know very well will be conducting the raid.” Hyeonu smiled and nodded.

-Then today you are just looking around?

-He got on the bus properly.

-But does the bus mean anything if the two of them aren’t a party?

-It looks like it is just for filming?

The viewers raised questions that naturally appeared at this point. What benefit would Hyeonu gain from Raccoon killing the boss monster?

-Is there a quest?

-Was there a quest to fight the boss monster?

-Isn’t there only the daily quest?

-Does Alley Leader have something else?

Each viewer talked about what they knew. The messages in the chat window were rising like crazy. However, none of them said something that accurately matched Hyeonu’s situation.

“Why am I participating in the raid? There are huge profits.”

-What profits?

“The last hit. The last hit is mine.”

-???

-Giving the last hit?

-This is the problem. A society of personal connections is the problem.

-Is this a nation? Is this a game?!!!

The viewers couldn’t hide their anger when they heard about Raccoon’s promise to Hyeonu. They didn’t know the before or after situation, but they were upset by the results alone.

“Yes, this is me. It is the game and life. Everyone. NPCs are the future,” Hyeonu shouted playfully. Then he soon made a sad voice and complained to the viewers, “You don’t know how hard it was for me to get this...”

-Even if it is hard, it is okay as long as you get the last hit.

-If it is a boss monster of that strength, then he will unconditionally give a title.

-It is a profit. Don’t whine.

The viewers casually ignored Hyeonu’s complaint. They didn’t care about the troubles Hyeonu went through. The thing the viewers thought was important wasn’t the hardships that Hyeonu went through, but the benefits he would get.

“I understand. Let’s stop talking about it.”ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Hyeonu finished speaking and started taking something out of the inventory.

-Huh? Why is he taking this out now?

-It is a raid today, right?

-Is he going to film an eating show here?

-No, I like eating shows too… but I’m a bit flustered.

The things that Hyeonu took out of his inventory were red meat, a black stone plate, and firewood that seemed like they could be used to make delicious food just by looking at it. It was a combination that Hyeonu often showed. They were tools used to cook meat for an eating show.

Hyeonu opened his mouth as he prepared to cook the meat, “There is a lot of time left before I have to leave. I need to rest until then. It is a type of doping, doping.”

There was a time to go out. Until then, he had to keep himself in the best shape as possible.

‘There is still a lot of time left for Jeras to appear.’

The time for Hyeonu to step out was when Jeras appeared. It was Hyeonu’s role to prevent Jeras from interfering in the fight between Raccoon and Luke.

‘Today will be a bit different.’

The fight between Jeras and Hyeonu happened every day, so there was nothing strange about it. Today, Jeras was going to collapse like usual. Jeras would collapse so much that he couldn’t go to Luke’s aid.

‘Then Luke will die.’

The reason for doing this act was also because of Jeras. He moved like this because he was conscious of the eyes of the god tribe on the battlefield. However, only Hyeonu knew about this situation. No one else knew.

-So now other people are fighting hard. Is he saying he wants to eat meat while just watching?

“Then should I not eat it? You don’t want a food show with Tang-E?”

Hyeonu brought up Tang-E and it worked very well.

-Of course you should eat it.

-An eating show is the truth.

-No, no, it is the future.

-Call Gom-E as well...

The attitude of the viewers changed suddenly. Tang-E and Gom-E—if they could see the two of them... It didn’t matter what Hyeonu did.

“Gom-E, Tang-E. Let’s eat.”

Gom-E and Tang-E appeared at Hyeonu’s call.

Tang-E appeared lying face down on Hyeonu’s lap and Gom-E was sitting on Hyeonu’s head.

“Tang-E, light it.”

Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head the moment he saw Tang-E.

“Understood, Master dude. Ignite.”

Tang-E nodded and held out his paws toward the piled up firewood. Then purple flames flowed from Tang-E’s paws and started to quickly burn the firewood. The stone plate quickly heated up. The intensity of the fire lit by Tang-E was that extraordinary.

“Do you know why I’m always cooking for myself?” Hyeonu asked the viewers as he put meat on the stone plate.

-Because it is a hobby?

-You are aiming to be a sexy man who can cook well?

-It isn’t a father, but a hsf man.

-Hsf?

-Husband of a wife’s friend, a man who excels in all aspects.

-Ah... Okay.

Hyeonu shook his head when he saw the chat window. This wasn’t it.

“No, I have a skill. I have a cooking skill.”

-Skill? A cooking skill?

-What is the rating?

-A rare skill?

-What is the effect? Is it a skill to give buffs?

“It is a unique rated skill. It doesn’t have the effect of increasing stats. It is all about being delicious.”

-It doesn’t sound good?

-Is that all?

-If it only makes the taste better, it is a bit...

-It won’t be much help for hunting.

-There is no such effect unless it is a production class.

Even if skills such as cooking and alchemy were obtained, there was no additional effect unless there was the right class. This was something that Hyeonu had recently learned.

“Does that matter? It is enough if it tastes good.”

However, Hyeonu didn’t care much. He didn’t even wish for that in the first place. He was already fully satisfied with the effectiveness of this skill.

“Do you know how delicious this is?”

Hyeonu laughed as he looked at the meat that was cooking. He couldn’t help laughing. The meat obtained from the effect of the skill was really delicious.

“This color and this scent. It is truly perfect. Grilled pork, that can be bought in any store, can look and taste like this.”

The meat that Hyeonu picked up with the tongs was fantastic. The moderately visible brown color made his mouth water just by looking at it.

-That’s right. Delicious food is the best.

-Look at Tang-E and Gom-E staring at the meat. Grilling meat is worthwhile.

-The meat is cooked well.

-It is no wonder why it isn’t normal every time I watch his eating show... it turns out to be a skill effect.

Hyeonu’s grilled meat started to cook perfectly in the meantime.

“Master dude, can I eat now?”

“Right, right. Can I eat it?”

Tang-E and Gom-E looked at Hyeonu with shining eyes. The viewers had never eaten Hyeonu’s grilled meat, but Tang-E and Gom-E had eaten them countless times. Naturally, they knew better than anyone how delicious the thing in front of them was.

“You can eat now. However, it is hot, so eat carefully.” Hyeonu smiled and nodded. The meat was cooked in moderation. It was enough to eat. It would be better if it was cooked a bit more, but the two bears didn’t have the patience for that.

‘Should I try it too?’

Hyeonu saw the two bears eating deliciously and also felt his taste buds stir. Hyeonu took out chopsticks from his inventory and picked up a piece of meat.

-Uh? Jeras is here.

-The orc is being pushed?

-I guess that one guy is bothering him a lot.

-Isn’t he the one Alley Leader has been fighting all the time?

-Then Alley Leader needs to go and help. The boss raid? The orc is going to die.

Just then, the chat window flared up. It was due to the message that came from the viewers watching the live stream of another streamer fighting on the battlefield.

‘Has Jeras already come out?’

Hyeonu couldn’t think of eating the meat in his hand and asked the viewers a question, “Really? Is Raccoon being pushed?”

-Yes. He is being pushed.

-Two members of the god tribe are fighting the orc.

-To be precise, one is wandering around, so he can’t concentrate.

-Shouldn’t you go out and help?

Hyeonu frowned when he saw the chat window. Now was the time to eat meat.

“Master dude, go quickly. Here are the buffs.”

Tang-E stretched out his paw toward Hyeonu and buffed him without taking his eyes off the meat on the stone plate.

“Goodbye, Master dude. I will continue cooking the meat,” Gom-E added.

He didn’t have any buff skills, so he was just talking.

“I understand... I’ll be back soon.”

Hyeonu put down his chopsticks while holding back tears. Then he stomped and left the walls.

“Master dude, fighting!”

“Fighting!”

Tang-E and Gom-E took the same posture and stared at Hyeonu as if they had some conscience remaining.

-He is angry.

-He can eat it when he comes back. Why is he sulking?

-Originally, it is said that you shouldn’t touch even a dog when it is eating.

-It is a reset when he gets back. Don’t you see that the stone plate is already becoming empty?

After returning to their original position, Tang-E and Gom-E raised the meat to their mouths more quickly as if to make up for their inability to eat meat for a while. The meat piled up on the stone plate was noticeably decreasing. It was in a very fast manner.

***

Hyeonu pierced the battlefield like the spear he was using. The god tribe and divine creatures couldn’t stop him. It was because a huge hole appeared in their bodies the moment they blocked Hyeonu. It was only when his spear was inserted into Jeras’ abdomen that Hyeonu’s charge stopped.

Hyeonu pushed the spear like a skewer through Jeras for a long time. It was a complete departure from the battlefield of Raccoon and Luke. Jeras opened his mouth while looking between the spear stuck in his abdomen and Hyeonu’s face.

‘Why...?’

However, no sound could come from his mouth. The only thing he could do was make a look of resentment and doubt. After silently pulling out the spear, Hyeonu threw a glass bottle at Jeras and started running in Raccoon’s direction again.

-He is angry.

-An angry beast who didn't get to eat meat...
