3.
When exactly 1 hour had passed, Seonghyun reached the 85th floor, and surprisingly, the one closely chasing behind was the Luna Party.
The Luna Party reached the 84th floor, and Kyou's Party and the Embris Party were able to reach the 83rd floor.
If only individual combat power was considered, Kyou's Party could be said to be the strongest, but.
The Luna Party was also formidable.
Team leader Luna was naturally Almighty rank, and the other three were also Legendary rank, but even so, the fact that their teamwork matched so well played a huge part.
It was proof that Luna's command ability was that outstanding.
Anyway, when 1 hour had passed.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Seonghyun was no exception.
Because there was a prearranged agreement.
'We decided on 1 hour in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon.'
Because they thought a break time was necessary in the middle.
Moreover, their discussion was to do it short like a promotion in the morning and then a bit longer in the afternoon, so everyone stopped.
Naturally, as all teams stopped.
The viewers were puzzled.
-??????
-Uh, no way??????
-Is the broadcast ending?????????
-Ah T_T Please T_T
-You can't do that T_T
-Is this for real?
-Is it really ending?????
The viewers were talking as if they had already expected it, but it was indeed a fault on Rapid's side for not telling the viewers in advance.
Still, it wasn't completely the end of the broadcast.
Seonghyun checked the current number of viewers like that.
[Current Viewer Count - 49,321,798●]
'There really are a lot.'
Viewers almost close to the population of South Korea.
Naturally, there were a considerable number of foreign viewers.
Anyway, Seonghyun and the other three were also broadcasting according to Korean time, so they didn't know this many would come from overseas.
Since it was more successful than expected, Seonghyun was quite pleased with it too.
Anyway, it was time to talk.
Shouldn't these people rest too.
Of course.
'I have plenty of leeway, though.......'
Although Seonghyun had plenty of leeway.
Because not everyone was like that.
The backup teams also looked quite fine, but still, rest was absolutely necessary.
Since doing a broadcast continuously for several hours inevitably tires out the viewers watching as well.
However, keeping it short like this increases the probability of viewers flocking in more and more.
With the thought of not knowing when the broadcast will happen again.
The moment Seonghyun was about to speak while thinking that.
Michael stepped forward and said.
“Ah, everyone, unfortunately, this is it for now.”
As Michael said so.
-T_T
-Ah I guess it really is the end T_T
-It was too short T_T
-This isn't right T_T
In the chat window, Koreans and foreigners alike were voicing their regrets, but.
Michael looked at them, his eyes shining, and said.
“Fufufu, but would you believe it if I said there is another broadcast in the afternoon!?”
As he said so to the viewers.
-What!?
-Afternoon broadcast!?
-It's already afternoon here, can't you just keep going????
-Pleeease T_T
-Still, it's a relief there's an afternoon broadcast.
-True, there has to be a break in the middle.
The viewers' reactions began to split half and half.
The positive faction saying at least there is one, and the whining faction asking if they couldn't just keep going.
Anyway, since both were things happening because they liked Seonghyun.
Michael calmly began to sort it out.
There was no need to explain the break time at length in the first place, was there.
So he explained it briefly.
“For now, we will continue to do short broadcasts like this in the morning and do at least 3 hours or more in the afternoon. We also have to eat in the middle, eh? We have to do everything!!!”
At Michael's words, which sounded like an impersonation, a few people burst out laughing, and even foreigners who didn't know it well started laughing at his intonation and gestures.
Seeing that the reaction was quite favorable, Michael called out the end of the broadcast.
“Then we will see you later in the afternoon.”
And beside Michael, Lowell, Noir, and Seonghyun also approached and said their goodbyes.
“See you later.”
“Th-Thank you.”
“See you later.”
Especially Seonghyun's last greeting was explosive.
Anyway, without being particularly conscious of it, Seonghyun came out with a gentle smile.
As the live broadcast ended like that, Michael let out a sigh of relief, perhaps having been full of tension all this while.
“Haaaa. It ended well.”
“Right. You did well. Thank you.”
“Oh, what did we even do.......”
“Really. We didn't do anything.......”
“We just did a bit of...... relaying.......”
As Michael, along with Lowell and Noir, answered sullenly.
Seonghyun said that wasn't the case.
“No. You were a real help. If I were broadcasting alone, I would have just shown myself breaking through endlessly without saying a word, but because you guys were here, I think it wasn't boring.”
“……!!!”
“……!”
“……!!!”
All three looked at Seonghyun as if touched by his reaction.
Honestly speaking, it was true that Seonghyun did all the fighting.
Even so, to be such a warm person to say this.
While all three were touched, unlike his alias as the Demon King.
Seonghyun smiled.
He hadn't summoned his vassals, but seeing them react like that, they seemed like vassals.
Having such thoughts, Seonghyun raised his hand and said.
“Then I will see you later after eating lunch.”
As Seonghyun said so.
All three nodded saying they understood, moved from the entrance of the 85th floor to the party hideout, and each logged out.
Looking at the broadcast, the other backup teams had also finished their broadcasts like that, and Seonghyun logged out.
[The eternal world, Eternal World will be waiting for you.]
4.
“Phew.”
As Seonghyun came out like that.
Lee Geondong threw a water bottle to Seonghyun as if saying good job, and Seonghyun smiled and caught the water bottle.
“Thank you.”
As Seonghyun said so as if thankful.
Lee Geondong tilted his head as if puzzled while looking at Seonghyun's appearance.
“You didn't even break a sweat?”
Until now, he could let it slide since he was taking it easy to match the Michael Party, but he was puzzled seeing Seonghyun not even sweating even though he should have gone all out just now.
It was said that other Rankers or skilled individuals would sometimes be drenched in sweat when they came out after hunting with focus, but Seonghyun wasn't like that.
Hearing Lee Geondong's words, Seonghyun looked at him as if asking what he meant.
So because he was curious, Lee Geondong asked Seonghyun back.
“Were you not going all out?”
“Umm, I don't really get drenched in sweat even if I go all out in the first place.”
“????Really? Well, I guess there are cases where that's not true.”
Lee Geondong answered like that as if fascinated, and Seonghyun thought inwardly.
‘Is it because of the memories of the souls?’
Since he tended to be drenched only in fatigue rather than sweat even if he went all out, he just let it slide.
Probably something to do with ghosts or his constitution.
He brushed it off without thinking much of it, and Lee Geondong said to Seonghyun.
“What do you want to do for food?”
“Huuuum.”
Since there was another broadcast later, he couldn't be bothered to cook.
Seonghyun answered.
“Let's go out and eat.”
“Keu, sounds good. Is the menu the baekban place in front of the house?”
“Hmm.”
Seonghyun pondered for a moment at those words and checked the time.
It was 11:30 AM, a bit early to call it lunch, but rather because of that, he figured there wouldn't be people at the baekban place, so he nodded saying that was good.
As Seonghyun accepted like that, Lee Geondong and Seonghyun didn't particularly prepare to go out and just dragged their slippers outside wearing the clothes they had on.
Seeing Seonghyun looking quite handsome even while dressed roughly and leaving the house, Lee Geondong clicked his tongue.
“Tsk.”
“Why?”
“Because I'm jealous, punk.”
“???”
Wondering why he was suddenly talking nonsense, he just let it slide.
It wasn't like he had been doing that for just a day or two.
As Seonghyun thought so and roughly let it slide.
Since it was literally a baekban place right in front of the house, they arrived not long after.
As the two entered.
“Oh my? A handsome bachelor has come? Two?”
“Yes. Two people.”
“Oh my, your voice is handsome too~ Sit wherever is comfortable~”
As the restaurant lady also went to the kitchen laughing 'hoho', Lee Geondong sat in a comfortable seat with an expression that said 'of course it's like this'.
Although the number of side dishes at this baekban place was on the smaller side, the main dish came out quite generously and in large portions.
That was why he brought Seonghyun here.
“The basic side dishes here are a bit sparse, but the main is no joke.”
“Ah, really?”
As Seonghyun answered like that without much thought.
Not long after, seeing spicy stir-fried pork, leafy wraps, plus all sorts of side dishes, grilled fish, grilled deodeok, and even sea urchin seaweed soup come out, Seonghyun's eyes went wide.
The side dishes aren't sparse at all though?
As he looked at Lee Geondong with exactly that expression.
He was looking at Seonghyun with a profound expression, looking genuinely wronged and indignant, yet also rejoicing seeing the generous side dishes and food.
“......What's wrong with you?”
“......Because I'm jealous, punk.”
Chuckling, saying he couldn't understand Lee Geondong who answered like that, he began to eat.
Since Seonghyun had no way of knowing how the food came out previously.
While eating like that, Lee Geondong and Seonghyun started a meeting that wasn't quite a meeting.
“Then it seems you'll clear up to the 90th floor today?”
“Umm, I think so probably? But they do say the difficulty goes up a bit every 5 floors. So I don't really know?”
“Still, you'll arrive at the Deep Part within 3 days, right?”
“Right, from then on is the most important.”
Competing with the backup team was secondary content.
Since hunting the Monarch was the true charm of this content for now.
Since the backup teams and even the Michael Party had heard that story, they were preparing to the maximum.
Although it was said the Michael Party was still weak.
Seonghyun had taught them a bit on how to handle it.
Especially since Michael was at least Legendary rank, he had even taught him how to awaken an Esoteric Art.
Still, he was expecting there might be some results within 3 days.
Anyway.
“It looks like you'll win before the main content.”
“Well, that's obvious.”
“......It is true, but it's a bit obnoxious.”
“Well, since it is a fact.”
As Seonghyun joked around like that, Lee Geondong also chuckled and nodded as if acknowledging it.
As they talked about this and that while eating like that.
Before they knew it, they were almost done eating, and time had flown by.
Since they hadn't said exactly when they would do the afternoon broadcast, they weren't in a rush.
They had arrived around 11:30, but before they knew it, the time had passed 12 o'clock, when it started getting crowded with people.
The two, having finished eating, stood up and said to the lady.
“We'd like to pay.”
“Oh my, yes, yes.”
As she came and they paid the regular baekban price, Seonghyun was a bit surprised that there were no additional charges and said.
“Ah, thank you. We ate well.”
“Really.”
“Oh my! If a handsome man ate well, we are even more thankful~”
“We will come again.”
As Seonghyun and Lee Geondong said their goodbyes and came out, the baekban place owner watched them leave as if disappointed, but neither of them paid much attention and walked out.
Coming out like that, Seonghyun and Lee Geondong went to a nearby cafe, had a drink each, talked some more, and then went back in.
