Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 291: A Useless But Inevitable Burden

 [Serious mental trauma detected.]

[Countdown to forced logout: 10 seconds]

[10, 9, 8...]

[...2, 1, 0]

[You failed to stabilize your mental state within the time limit.]

[You have been forcibly logged out.]

She hadn’t been affected even when she deliberately allowed mental contamination to steal the power of Baekmokgwi, but now, without even noticing, she had been forced out.

"Someone, open the capsule lid!"

"I might need treatment."

Voices filled with concern.

A moment later, the capsule was forcibly opened from the outside.

"Are you okay?"

Lee So-hye wiped the sweat from Ha Eung Eung’s forehead with a damp towel.

"Excuse me for a moment."

Saint Eve took her wrist and began assessing her condition.

"How are you? Did you get a big shock? You’re not hurt anywhere, right?"

Behind Eve, Mark 2 and Ju A-young peeked in with worried expressions.

After everyone crowded around her, Eve finished her diagnosis and gently placed her hand, glowing with white light, on Ha Eung Eung’s head.

Thud.

That power was a power that drained life.

At that moment, Ha Eung Eung finally regained her senses, and Eve smiled and deactivated the ability.

[Sorry, Eve.]

"It’s nothing. Compared to the debt I owe, this is nothing."

[I let my guard down.]

Ha Eung Eung repeatedly picked up and put down her pen.

It wasn’t until a long time later that she was able to write the rest of her thoughts.

[There’s no one who could be my match, I thought. No one was a real threat. But right before my eyes, my teacher died.]

Lee So-hye scolded her with a tired expression.

"How many years do you think Lee Hae-chan played that game? Even among the top 100, there were more dead rankers than survivors."

[You think it was natural for me to lose?]

"Honestly, surviving was a miracle. A rookie who just started out survived a full-scale assault using years of accumulated skills and power."

Ha Eung Eung was still shaken by the shock.

Ju A-young took her hand to comfort her.

"Sis... If we talk about Half-Demon Valley, it’s like a newbie who just barely defeated a low-level monster and then survived the full-scale assault of the Great Yokai forces... a miracle..."

Only then did Ha Eung Eung feel it.

How reckless her actions had been in a game where a streamer reigned as the strongest.

How foolish it was to oppose that streamer, and why Cloud Dragon Azisahab, her mentor in the virtual world, had to die.

She had underestimated Lee Hae-chan.

Because of that, she hadn’t taken proper action to destroy his assault.

She had relied too much on Azisahab’s goodwill.

Had she not become his disciple, and instead trusted her own strength without blindly depending on him, the World Boss raid wouldn’t have succeeded.

And how many of the viewers who had supported her had died.

It was only after everything that she truly realized it.

‘I had forgotten. My oldest anger within me.’

After all the revenge, she had just returned to the present world and spent peaceful days.

The past year, she had forgotten the days of the Murim Bimangnok.

‘Lee Hae-chan. You’ve made an enemy of me.’

Revenge. The driving force that had made her wield her sword in the Murim Bimangnok.

The Ha Eung Eung of the past, who was called a self-absorbed young girl, not the legendary swordwoman.

The time when she wandered through the entire Murim, searching for uncharted lands not even on the maps.

‘I’ll make you regret it. For making an enemy of me.’

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

Ha Eung Eung swore. She would take revenge on Lee Hae-chan, the one who had killed her mentor right before her eyes.

 [The Cloud Dragon, devoured by a huge cloud, was defeated by Korea's Swordmaster Lee Hae-chan][186]

[The reckless man who simultaneously carried out the World Boss and Silent Swordsman raids met his end][277]

[The dictator, who pushed his nation to the brink of bankruptcy, won a war? What happens when a Korean becomes Hitler][1025]

Titles full of insane aggro, rising comments, views, recommendations, and a festival of donations.

"Urryaaahhh!! See? I told you I could do it! I said it was possible! Maybe not anywhere else, but here in Gladiator Training, I can never lose!"

Lee Hae-chan! Lee Hae-chan! Lee Hae-chan!He actually won, wow!King God Emperor Ancient Legend Lee Hae-chan!'Legend'? Dragon Slayer'Slayer'? Dizzying

<Eom Gil-dong has donated 10,000 won!>

Dizzying ‘dizzy’? Nitric beryllium

Beryllium, you son of a bitchUsing a cheat code for word chain, damn itEom Gil-dong, die!!The streamer is already deadAh, LOL; sorry, haha

The chat was full of celebration.

Lee Hae-chan, thinking about his future success, was overwhelmed with joy.

Since he had discovered the Silent Swordsman, he had been trying to get some benefit from it. One day, by chance, he had encountered him in real life.

He had been wanting to do joint broadcasts in real life, not just interviews.

Although the raid content had turned out to be the opposite of what he wanted, the benefits he sought were more than earned.

[This craft is now mine]

[Lee Hae-chan, pay for the firepower parts! Pay up!]

[Shows the Armored Unit that was destroyed after fighting for 3 seconds with the Silent Swordsman. Repair costs are astronomical, proceed with caution.]

Other streamers, riding Lee Hae-chan's wave of popularity, were posting related videos, but if it weren’t for them, Lee Hae-chan wouldn’t have succeeded in the raid.

"Bro, this is crazy."

"Don't make me wait, just tell me. How many views did it get?"

"Adding up the three videos, it’s 35 million."

How much was the ad revenue on V-Tube?

Before this mega-hit, his daily views were about a million, and he made about 40 million won per video... If you multiply that by 35, it’s 1.4 billion.

The average per video was 466.67 million won.

"Crazy."

Even Lee Hae-chan, who didn’t need money, was astonished at the enormous daily earnings coming from V-Tube.

He felt like he was indirectly experiencing just how much the top streamers earned.

"But what about handling the aftermath?"

"The aftermath? Come on, it’s not like I’m unfamiliar with that guy. We even cleared the Monster Wave together in real life. You think he’s coming for a physical fight?"

"Better write a will. If I die, everything goes to the editor, all of Lee Hae-chan’s assets."

"No, I’ll say the editor is the murderer."

They had a nonsensical conversation and ended the call.

Tomorrow, they’d do a mukbang stream.

Only eating ridiculously delicious food, flexing, and making money—how fun would that be?

As Lee Hae-chan licked his lips at the thought of it, suddenly, his phone screen started buzzing loudly.

The vibrations were so continuous that at first, he thought it was a call, but then he saw it was a message.

Mazinger Jet (Armored Officer 77): Bro, it’s bad! Get on Gladiator Training fast!

Taekwon V (Armored Officer 84): What should I do? The Silent Swordsman stole my craftㅠㅠㅠ

Mecha Girl (Far East Division, Armored Factory Supervisor): Haechannie! The Silent Swordsman’s subordinates are organizing guerrilla warfare targeting the armored units!

These urgent reports came from players who held crucial roles in the game.

"That guy... he really hasn’t given up yet?!"

Shocked, Lee Hae-chan logged into Gladiator Training, only to find a report detailing the damages.

Armored Officer, Standard Armored Patrol, Armored Production Factory—everything had been attacked and thoroughly plundered.

He anxiously closed the report showing horrific losses that were too scary to even count.

"Get a pursuit team ready!"

"Master, I believe the Silent Swordsman's combat ability is too much for our standard units to handle."

"Then we’ll have to go ourselves. How’s the Dragonheart? Was energy control successful?"

"Only 0.3% successfully under control."

"Dammit."

The brief, dreamlike victory had faded, replaced by a nightmare-like virtual world.

Before they could even enjoy their short-lived victory, Lee Hae-chan was faced with the guerrilla war launched by the Silent Swordsman.

He couldn’t even handle it directly, and if there was even the slightest danger, the stolen craft was blown up, and the enemy disappeared.

"It’d have been better to just lose, haha""The deficit is insane""It’s bankruptcy!"

Even with the Dragonheart obtained, the development of the 5th Generation Armored Units was delayed, and the budget for the Armored Taeyang’s spec upgrades reached its limit.

"At least we can catch his subordinates, right?"

"They’re not pushovers either. Many of the rankers who died in the raid were awarded ranking titles by the Silent Swordsman’s subordinates, and now those enemies have ranker buffs."

"Shit, is that really how it works?"

Ranking titles only apply the effects of the highest rank a person holds.

Remaining ranks are usually passed on to others for money.

While it’s rare for someone to give up a high-ranking title to a close friend, ranking titles are usually sold for cash. But the Silent Swordsman was different.

"If they’re buying with money, I’ll just buy them myself."

Lee Hae-chan knew he could take care of himself, but he figured that if he collected all the titles, his subordinates wouldn't benefit from the ranking bonuses.

Lee Hae-chan: Just say the word. I’ll pay a high price.

Eom Gil-dong’s Right-Hand: Get lost, evil scum!

AppleGoodPerson: Hahaha~ You think you can buy them with money? Clumsy♡ Your thinking is shallow♡

"No one’s selling them?"

Lee Hae-chan couldn’t help but be envious of the trust between the Silent Swordsman and his subordinates.

But that was only the beginning of his worries.

"Boss! We're under attack! (10:00 PM)""Help! (01:15 AM)""Haechannie! The Northern Factory Zone is being destroyed by the Silent Swordsman’s special forces! (04:22 AM)"... (09:37 AM)... (02:51 PM)... (06:44 PM)

"Let me get some sleep, you bunch of bastards!!"

An endless, day-and-night guerrilla war had begun.
