Seo Ji-soo was a little surprised inwardly.

‘to? Is that a very famous guide?’

He was very short and stooped at the waist.

It wouldn’t be easy to find someone with the name Gollum so well suited.

‘No matter how much I’m a minor character, I’m too ugly?’

From the first time I came here, I tried to inquire about a guide named Gollum.

I didn’t expect to meet him so easily, but I didn’t expect him to be such an ugly person.

“You found me?”

Gollum brushed aside a few strands of hair and looked at Cha Jin-hyeok.

Cha Jin-hyeok nodded.

“What level are you?”

“150s. I can even raise it to 170.”

“Ah, you are the player with that mythical card. Was his name Kim Chul-soo?”

It was unexpected for Cha Jin-hyeok.

“Do you know me?”

“know. Because he is the most famous player on Earth.”

Cha Jin-hyeok felt better.

There are many cases where a ranker on a cosmic level, the size of a Golumbellum, is not very interested in rookies.

It was similar to the late sergeant having no particular interest in the privates.

“Then it would be easy. I want to be guided by you while I play here.”

“My ransom is high.”

Gollum smirked and looked towards Lucia.

“Lucia, how many people have been black with me lately?”

“About 30 people?”

Gollum nodded and moved his gaze to Cha Jin-hyeok.

“Present it. How much are you going to spend me on?”

“500 million diamonds.”

Gollum burst into laughter.

“You’re going to hire me for only 500 million? This is crazy.”

Lucia also sighed beside him.

I knew it would be like that.

‘Actually, 500 million is not a small amount of money… … .’

In the past, when someone offered 700 million diamonds, Golumbellum snorted.

Golumbellum said, ‘What are you looking at me for?’ he yelled at Lucia, and Lucia was sweating.

‘It must be a ranker’s secondary character.’

Since you can’t play with your main character in the Earth dimension, you must be raising an alt character.

Most of those cases were top rankers in the space unit class.

It was a kind of entertainment culture for rankers who had no place to grow any more and came to play on a weak server that could be called a playground and enjoy abcdrama.

Gollum’s level itself was relatively low (?) at 130, but Lucia’s seduction skill didn’t work at all.

There was a high probability that he was wearing all sorts of items that resist mental attacks.

‘Eh, if I keep doing this, my credit will be in trouble.’

Cha Jin-hyeok frowned.

“What are you talking about?”

“I told you. My ransom is high. How can you pamper me with only 500 million?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have an hourly wage of 500 million?”

“… … what?”

Cha Jin-hyeok asked with sincerity.

“How do you manage a guide like you with 500 million?”

The words themselves moved Gollum.

Gollum’s face was a little red, ha ha! laughed

He seemed to like the deal with me very much.

“Lucia, shouldn’t you have introduced me to a nobleman like this?”

The beer is very cold and good today.

The drinking atmosphere was pretty good.

Lucia seemed to be quite happy at the thought of securing the introduction fee.

‘Fortunately, it worked out well.’

Some people referred to Gollum as a ‘ranker who has transcended money’, but I am well aware that that is not the case.

‘Actually, he’s very hungry for money.’

Not all top rankers are rich.

The real rich kids are usually merchants or streamers.

Excluding those special job groups, most of the real rankers live in poverty.

‘Because tens of billions of dollars go into a dungeon once.’

In particular, guides with weak defense tended to spend more money.

Because in order to survive in the top dungeon, I had to apply money and apply it again and again.

It is true that you make a lot of money, but you also spend a lot of money.

If you earn 1 million won and spend 800,000 won, you will have 200,000 won left over, but if you earn 1 billion won and spend 1.1 billion won, 100 million won is negative.

So, most of the top rankers in the space unit are poor.

Ordinary people would call me crazy when they hear it, but it’s real.

Rather, there were many cases where moderately high rankers were rich.

‘Especially guides are slaves to money.’

There was also this reason for Han Se-rin to beat the guide and become a monarch.

It was late into the night, and Gollum was drunk.

“There are about 350 million subscribers?”

“370 million.”

“It’s a pretty good score for Jigu. Is that enough to make a living as a streamer?”

“so so.”

“Hey, that’s embarrassing.”

thud!

Gollum banged his forehead on the table and fell asleep.

There were only a few customers left in Lucia’s bar.

“I need to get up soon.”

When I said that, Lucia, who was serving customers at another table, jumped up.

“Are you going already?”

“I have to go.”

Lucia seemed a little disappointed.

I became the VIP of this bar in one day.

I’ve never experienced this before when I was a civil servant, but it’s so comfortable and nice.

“bye. use it again Also, my brother is a really good kid, so meet him.”

I left the bar and walked down the street.

There were quite a lot of people during the day, but at night it was very quiet and quiet.

After walking for a while, I stopped.

“Why do you keep following me?”

There was a guy who had been following me from the bar.

His awakening name was ‘Kane’.

The level was a swordsman in his 180s.

“You have a lot of money, kid.”

From the first time I entered Lucia’s bar, I knew Kane was there.

Kane later grows into a fairly famous villain.

Rather than his great skills, he was famous as a villain from the planet Arbis.

Planet Arbis was the strongest server in the universe in name and reality, and they were quite proud of it.

He was proud of being a space policeman and pursued justice in his own way.

It was quite eye-catching that a player from such a planet was playing the role of a villain on a relatively weak server, Earth.

“by the way?”

“If you give me everything you have, I will spare your life.”

Before returning, Kane begged me for his life, saying ‘I will give everything I have, so please spare my life’.

The bite was very big.

‘Maybe he’s taller than me by now.’

The level itself was higher than me.

Besides, he was a guy whose main focus was swordsmanship, so to be honest, he had no desire to fight properly.

“I’m a streamer, attack me? Don’t you know the Streamer Protection Treaty?”

“Could it be that he was an idiot who relied on such a cosmetic treaty?”

“No, it’s not really anything like that.”

Kane drew his sword and strode toward me.

“For now, let’s lightly take the left arm first.”

“… … .”

He swung his sword in front of me, but it was a bit ridiculous.

‘How disrespectful are you looking at me?’

Where the hell is the person who hits me when I swing it openly like that?

I dodged Kane’s sword by taking a step back.

“… … .”

“… … .”

An awkward silence passed between the two of us.

“What are you?”

“You didn’t think it would fit, did you?”

“… … .”

I still showed a lot of pretty good things, but it seems that he didn’t watch any of my broadcasts.

After that, the guy started to pull out a little more power.

I created gaps in myself by intermittently mixing painting and using footwork.

‘Relay barrier.’

I blocked his attack with relay barrier.

“He is quite good at managing relay barriers. If I had a combat-related job, I would have done much better.”

In an instant, I was very annoyed.

For some reason, it seemed like he was swearing, ‘You don’t suit a streamer’.

“It looks like you haven’t really watched my broadcast. My broadcasting skills have improved a lot.”

Anyway, I focused on defense, and he pushed me with a one-sided attack.

“How long are you going to defend yourself like a coward like that?”

“… … .”

To be honest, it wasn’t that his attacks weren’t sharp.

It was true that large and small wounds were increasing all over my body.

It’s a shame because I’ve fought him before, and if it wasn’t for that, I might have been more seriously injured.

‘It’s definitely from Arbis.’

Even kids walking on the street are servers with jokes that they are rankers when you go to other servers.

Although the level was only 180 (?), it was never a water level.

‘It’s not easy just defending.’

It is usually easier to defend than to attack.

If you openly defend yourself, you can manage to deal with someone with better skills than yourself.

Before I knew it, I came to a dead end.

When my back hit the wall, I held out my hand.

“for a moment. I will give you 500 million. This is all I have now.”

I took out a leather pouch full of diamonds from my inventory.

“Now I can talk a little bit.”

“500 million diamonds. If you save me, I will add 500 million to this and give you 1 billion diamonds.”

“Five billion.”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you rich enough to spend 500 million an hour on hiring a guide?”

Kane giggled.

“Isn’t it strange that a nobody like you can make so much money?”

“… … .”

I obediently put the leather pouch on the ground and raised my arms.

The moment he approached with a smirk and bowed down, a translucent silver thread tied his wrist.

‘Good timing.’

It was a big brat.

Assassins are weak in head-to-head battles, but are more powerful than anyone else in raids.

‘And a little brat.’

The little brat has released the poison.

It vaporized and sprayed much more concentrated venom than when it bit me.

However, Kane was calmer than expected.

“You do ridiculous things.”

It was not difficult for him to release the big brat’s binding technique, and a thin magic field was formed all over his body to prevent poisonous smoke from entering his body.

When he was about to raise his mana and create a sword wind.

I swung my sword as I was ready to leave at any time.

“The setup is like this.”

It is rare to be fooled all at once.

Once, twice, or three times in a row, you have to mix and disrupt the painting in order to achieve the attack you want.

Rakan’s blade, which had become extremely sharp due to the overlaid sword, cut off Kane’s head in an instant.

‘It’s easier than I thought.’

The reason I kept checking him up until now was because I needed to make sure he didn’t really know about my broadcast.

If you’ve watched any of my broadcasts, you’ll already know about ‘Veraclaf’s Necklace’, which reflects fatal wounds.

‘I didn’t even need to measure the angle to use Veraclaf’s necklace.’

Kane’s eyes fluttered on the floor.

The little brat is startled! he screamed.

“Ah, it’s because he’s from Arbis. Their bodies are strong, so they don’t die easily even if they are cut.”

He was also from Arbis.

“… … how did you know Did you know about me?”

I got closer to his face and bowed down.

He whispered softly in his ear.

“I don’t know.”

Kane’s eyes widened.

I was so angry that my eyes were bloodshot red.

“If you meet a player from Arbis, you have to make sure to finish the confirmation kill.”

I lifted Rakan and stabbed him through the heart several times.

I never stabbed because I wanted to taste it, never.

But then pair! match! Applause was heard.

Someone was coming this way.
