Although the untily Fresh craze had passed, there was no significant change in 『Fantastic World』.
Health is sothing you take care of in reality; no one in 『Fantastic World』 worries about their stats dropping due to obesity or fat.
Moreover, for hardcore gars who play for more than 16 hours a day, it’s not a very important issue.
Since almost no one cares about changes in the food they eat, they hear about them occasionally.
However, Han Simin’s broadcast changed a little.
—FRSH FRSH!
—FRSH FRSH!
—What are you guys doing?
—What is this?
—TIHE
—CAJ
Viewers matching the rhythm to the advertisent that flows out as soon as they enter!
It was inevitably an unfamiliar sight for people who ca to watch the broadcast out of curiosity because it beca a hot topic.
—Please, soone explain.
—They’re just following along with the comrcial song.
—FRSH FRSH = Fresh Fresh, TIHE = TV is Hanshin Electronics, CAJ = Cars are Jeongye. That’s what it is. If you want to watch this broadcast, morize it.
Fortunately, the viewers were lenient with the newbies.
After all, aren’t they all suckers paying 100 dollars to watch the broadcast?
It was their destiny to be kicked out at a single snort from Han Simin, the absolute wielder of power, but they had to find even tiny specks of happiness within that.
This atmosphere helped the newly entered viewers adapt.
—Hahaha hilarious. FRSH FRSH!
—It is kinda funny since everyone is following along.
—This is nothing. Try setting an alarm for when the broadcast turns on and co then. It’s a spectacle.
—But why are you following along?
And the question that always appears!
No matter how many tis it is answered, it keeps coming up.
Most ignore it because it’s annoying, but a few people live by bestowing kindness on others.
—It’s boring, you know. Paying 100 dollars to enter and then sitting there watching ads for 60 seconds. We have to overco the fact that the damn strear doesn’t communicate by getting close to viewers like this. What can we do? The broadcast is still fun though.
—User Happiness Evangelist has been forcibly removed.
—Tsk tsk. Another one leaves today after dropping truth bombs.
—This is why I don’t explain. Starting yesterday or so, everyone who commits fact assault gets kicked.
—Newbies, just read the room and adapt. That’s better for your ntal health.
Even that was brought under control.
Anyway, thanks to that, the number of viewers increased.
Han Simin, for whom this was no longer just pocket money level, turned on the broadcast frequently too.
“Today, I’m broadcasting hunting.”
—Oh! Aweso. I wonder what the hunting is like.
—Is he doing it with the Specialists? Wow. I was curious how the rank 1, 2, and 3 in levels hunt.
That didn’t an he started doing it professionally.
It was better not to show his abilities beyond a certain line, and similarly, there was no way he would do sothing as stupid as leaking information about a small elite guild.
“I’ll watch ads, hunt for thirty minutes, and turn it off.”
It was strictly for pocket money.
That was it.
However, the sample-style broadcast heightened viewers’ cravings.
That soon created a deford chat culture.
—Let’s watch ads.
—Let’s watch ads.
—Let’s watch quickly.
A phenonon unimaginable in other broadcasts.
The hot-tempered viewers, who would get angry if he ignored them for even a single second, all beca gentle sheep uniquely in Han Simin’s broadcast.
And the three twenty-second ads played again.
The incentive clause was another condition inserted in exchange for the marketing team lead begging and begging, paying a bit more money, and removing the original clause.
[Guarantee additional revenue for ad exposure during the broadcast.]
Since it was a condition that existed on existing streaming sites, it was easily accepted, and Han Simin played ads whenever he had a chance.
Now, it was unclear whether it was a ga broadcast or an ad broadcast!
“Explosion!”
“Petrification! Weakness! Frailty!”
“Shield Bash!”
Yet, the reason they couldn’t escape was, as expected, because of that charm.
Even watching just ten minutes, the money didn’t feel wasted.
Because it was a feast of play that couldn’t be found anywhere else in 『Fantastic World』.
—Oh my! Must watch this.
—Strear, put in a few more ads and please just broadcast more often.
—For real, even if you put in up to 20, I’ll co to watch if you do it every day. T_T Please just broadcast often. Damn it.
The more loyal viewers increased, the less frequent Han Simin’s broadcasts beca.
“Originally, you don’t feed a caught fish!”
Attaching nonsensical logic to it.

The winner of the event was, unexpectedly, Jeong Hyeonsu.
“See, you should have managed your connections normally.”
He remained silent.
The others said nothing.
Still, as the eldest son who would inherit the Jeongye Group and who had managed his connections with other chaebols well in practice, it wasn’t difficult for him to leverage the prevailing social atmosphere to ask companies to enter a referrer code.
From the perspective of those being asked, there was no reason to refuse a request from Jeong Hyeonsu, who would beco the next chairman of Jeongye Group.
Jeong Hyeonsu, having won the 14 Enhancent Ticket in that manner, smiled a smile of conversion.
The ti had finally co.
“Enhance this for .”
[Emblem of Justice]
Grade: Unique
Required Level: 60
Defense: 40
Option 1: Defense increases according to the number of subjects being protected
Option 2: Health of protected subjects 10%
“Whoa. Where on earth did you get this?”
“Hmph.”
“Wow. Oppa, that’s amazing. Getting sothing like this secretly by yourself.”
Jeong Hyeonsu, shrugging his shoulders, didn’t budge even at the jealousy.
“Oppa, can’t you give the 14 to ?”
“No.”
He didn’t waver even at Jeong Seolah’s sorrowful gaze.
Right now, his goal was only one thing!
Attaching the 14 Emblem to his armor!
“Well, since I promised to do it, I’ll do it. Seolah and Yeseul, give your things to enhance too.”
“Tch.”
Even though they won other prizes and could get up to 13, disappointnt was disappointnt!
Since the difference between 13 and 14 could be understood without needing to put it into words.
Han Simin, having gathered the items to be enhanced, moved.
After finishing quickly, he also had work to do.
’I should go around and hunt so nad monsters.’
Since he obtained drop rate items, shouldn’t he put them to use!
Besides, he didn’t recall making money from enhancent lately.
Originally, his goal was to cover his entire body with 15 items that others didn’t have, and then sell the high-enhancent items to hit a life-changing jackpot. So, it was ti to invest in achieving his original goal.
To obtain items like the Ring of Blessing, just doing part-ti jobs like a leech wouldn’t work.
He intended to grow slowly as well.
Though the Specialists would frown deeply and object if they heard.
“Let’s go! Squeaker!”
His shout, in accordance with his plan, echoed in the empty air.
Regrettably, there was no returning response.
“Huh?”
Realizing that, Han Simin paused.
His gaze naturally turned to his left shoulder.
The golden bird that should have been there was gone.
What is this?
He carefully retraced his mories.
Where did he go?
Since when was he missing?
Since it is a living creature and a dragon by birth, there was no guarantee it had to Scree on his shoulder all day, but to be missing from where it should be and absent when needed!
’Surely he didn’t run away?’
He ended up assuming even that worst-case scenario.
In his anxiety, he hurriedly recalled.
Since when was he gone?
“Ah!”
And then it ca to him.
The mory of that ti.
“I sent him away.”
On the way to the Empire for the princess’s coming-of-age ceremony. As soon as they arrived at the capital, he had said to Squeaker:
—“There’s not a single good thing about you catching the Emperor’s eye, so go spend so ti eating orcs or sothing sowhere and then co to the territory. Got it?”
That was already weeks ago.
Fortunately, he hadn’t run away on his own.
“But why isn’t he coming?”
He was a dragon in na, so he couldn’t have been beaten to death sowhere.
If he had died, the information about Squeaker would probably have been deleted from the hologram.
“Hmm.”
He was relieved by the thought that he hadn’t died, but he felt utterly lost.
When he didn’t pay much attention, it was fine, but now that he thought about it, it was bothering him.
To think he had to just wait indefinitely for when the bird, which had already eaten billions in money, would co.
He couldn’t exactly go looking for him in this vast continent without knowing where he was.
“Can’t be helped.”
He had no choice but to use his trump card.
“Summon!”
“Screech!”
A privilege given to a Legendary tar!
Although the cooldown was seventy-two hours, what did that matter?
“Hey, you punk. You went sowhere and didn’t even co back?”
“Scree!”
The important thing was that the gold lump had returned.
“Huh? What’s that in your mouth?”
“Screech!”
With a real lump of gold in its mouth, at that.
Han Simin’s eyes flashed.
With a golden light.

Squeaker wanted to grow.
Resting comfortably on his master’s shoulder and acting cute was nice, but the instinct embedded within him had been telling him that he wanted to regain his true form as soon as possible.
However, regrettably, his master couldn’t provide much gold.
No, by human standards, and by the standards observed after hatching from the egg, he had been fed a lot of gold, but there was no more gold for growth.
It was regrettable.
And he felt thirsty.
He could accept being a buff for his master, but he still wanted to grow as big as soon as possible to protect his master.
“Go play and co back. Got it? If you run away, we’re doing a chase until one of us dies. I’m a very clingy man, so you must co back, okay?”
“Scree!”
Just then, he got so free ti.
Although he felt the weight of wandering the unknown world alone for the first ti since his birth, Squeaker, being a proud Gold Dragon, mustered his courage and flapped his wings.
His target: monsters!
Of course, not to eat them.
Gold Dragons only ate gold.
Therefore, what Squeaker was hunting for was their loot.
SCREECH!
KIEK!
CHITTER!
From goblins to orcs, he targeted them all!
If they looked reasonably manageable to Squeaker, who had transford into a giant hawk, he would swoop down, peck at them, and threaten them into submission.
It was unavoidable behavior; after all, that was the only way of life he had witnessed since he was born.
The monsters had no choice but to surrender the few scraps of tal they possessed, and Squeaker was happy whenever he swallowed the occasional gold fragnt embedded within the junk.
"Scree!"
But that satisfaction was fleeting.
Those scraps didn’t fill his stomach.
It was actually more valuable to eat the coins his master fed him one by one while he acted cute on his shoulder.
’This won’t do.’
’I need to find gold without being a burden to Master!’
Squeaker’s journey began then.
Completely forgetting that he should return to the territory, he flew for a long ti, crossing the continent.
Since he hadn’t grown as large as his true form yet, he had to alternate between flying for a few days and resting for a few days. But eventually, he found it.
High in the sky, he finally caught the scent.
The thick, rich scent of gold!
SCREECH!
It was a hidden mine.
Enormous mountains screened it and could only be discovered by breaking through a periter of terrifying monsters.
It was a place that could never have been found without a Gold Dragon’s innate sense of sll for treasure!
Swallowing his saliva, Squeaker shrank his body.
He secretly entered the gold mine in the form of a small bird.
"Scree! Scree!"
The mine was full of gold.
A pure gold mine untouched by anyone’s hands!
He would have to dig, but that wasn’t a problem.
A mont of hardship for a lifeti of reward!
The mont he took a bite of the raw gold...
FLASH—
SCREECH!
An unknown force swallowed him up.
Then, he saw the welco face of his master.
That man spoke.
"Lead the way, punk."
