Max returned to his apartnt after eating and talking to Nina for a while.
He wanted to stay longer, but Chef Rush kicked him out, saying every table was important. The chef said he could stay if he helped in the kitchen, but Max politely refused because he knew he wouldn't survive there and ran away. Nina saw him off with a smile, which reassured him.
When he arrived at his apartnt, he checked his ssage. There was still no reply from Flexy.
'Is he that busy to the point he couldn't read my ssage? Or did he encounter any problem?' He thought and began to get worried.
But he shook his head imdiately. There was no way Flexy would get into trouble with Lisa backing him. She would punch and knock him out if that ant keeping him out of trouble.
Looking at the clock, Max found out it was already 8 PM. He planned to play Roach Planet if Flexy replied, but because there was no response, he decided to play rcenary Quest and livestream it instead. There was a storyline waiting for him.
'Let's get to work then.'
Entering the VR capsule, Max dived into his Lobby. There, he prepared his stream like usual and changed the title.
[I have enough of crying old man. It's ti to start the storyline! #rcenaryQuest #HuntingMonster #QuestStoryline # #CrazyMovent]
Looking at the title he made, Max nodded in satisfaction.
'Perfect.'
There was no need for any clickbait anymore. His follower count was already nearing 500K. If a random viewer saw his thumbnail, taken from the automatic loading screen provided by the system, and the viewers count, they would be curious and visit.
It was natural for humans to be pulled by the crowd.
[Livestream Starts!]
As soon as he started and played the loading screen, viewers imdiately gathered.
4K. 8K. 10K. It kept rising until it finally stopped at 13K. This number was mostly influenced by the fact the next day was Saturday, a day off. They could afford to relax and watch the livestream without thinking of any work.
In fact, so of them were new viewers who were baited by clips playing on the loading screen and the title.
— rcenary Quest's story? Count in!
— It's been a long ti since strears actually followed rcenary Quest's storyline. They are already so far ahead
— Breeze has started another storyline! It will be epic!
— Rembering Knight's Journey story, I hope a lot from this one if it's played by Breeze
— lolol, I bet it will be hilarious. Breeze, avenge us! I know you will do it!
— I am here! On ti for so epic quests
— I am glad the stream hasn't started yet. Can't miss the storyline from the start
Reading the chat's enthusiasm, Max felt like he should start it already. He started the ga and dived into it. His vision was blurry for a second. When it returned, he found himself in the steampunk-like station, sitting on a chair in the kitchen beside the blacksmith.
The weight of the blade on his back surprised him slightly, especially since he entered the ga without bringing anything.
"Whoa, I almost fell." He exclaid, holding onto the sturdy table to balance himself. "That was close. I should rember where I last logged out next."
While muttering that, he changed his screen title. The little cara flew into the air and pointed at him. Once everything was ready and the livestream screen was changed, Max smiled as if nothing was wrong and greeted the viewers.
"Hello, guys! We t again, hahaha. Tonight, we will play the rcenary Quest's storyline. I think I have enough hang of it after killing two monsters, don't you think? After fixing my weapon, I have eaten and still have 300 Gills. So, yeah.
I am ready! But rember, no backseat. Let experience all myself."
— Sohow, I can't help but get excited.
— Yeah, no backseat
— Why would we backseat if we can just enjoy the hilarious mont? That's just stupid
— And toxicity is stupid. Learn manners, kid!
"Right, learn manners. Fortunately, only one of two chats is toxic, but let's ignore that for now." Max nodded a few tis and stood up, "I need to find the person with a question mark above their head. I wonder where he is?"
The first quest giver would definitely be in the player's line of sight as soon as they exited the train. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find it and would have to spend ti just to get the first quest. That was just a stupid and lazy ga design.
And Max managed to find that soone just by looking around a bit more cautiously than before. He recognized that person. It was the energetic rcenary, Jamal. This progression made sense so far.
Approaching the said NPC, Max initiated a talk. He didn't know what to say to activate the quest, so he just greeted him.
"Morning, Jamal."
Upon hearing Max's voice, Jamal turned around with a serious look.
"Oh, newbie. Have you approached because you heard the rumor?"
That question seed to be strange. But for a player, it was a natural progression.
"Rumor?" Max asked, getting the keyword from his sentence. "Can you explain more about it? I have heard nothing of such."
"Heh, that won't do. As a rcenary, you should open your ears to the rumors." Jamal shook his head.
"Well, let tell you, newbie. Apparently, Tromax has been spotted in Misty Forest. This monster is troubleso. Weak, but it can multiply fast. If left alone, it will destroy one area with its offspring. So, go back to the Stronghold rcenary's base and ask Hunter about this.
He knows more than ."
[Ding! A new mission is generated.]
[Tromax's Clue]
[Visit Stronghold rcenary's base and find Hunter. Ask him the details about Tromax's appearance. You can find Hunter on the balcony.]
Looking at the notification in front of him, Max nodded in satisfaction. The mission in this ga was apparently not as linear as the one in Knight's Journey. Max would find out later whether it had routes or not. Curiosity was the best spice to get motivated to finish the ga's storyline.
'As expected, playing a ga with a storyline feels nice.'
Max turned around and saw the lump of light that served as his guide. It flew toward the train, giving him a clue about the next destination.
"Well, it's starting."
— It has begun
— The journey to the peak of the rcenary world
— All the suffering… All the despair
— Hahaha… HAHAHAHAHA Blood God will enjoy this
— My right arm has felt it. The arduous journey that Breeze will go through!
— Are you guys okay?
— Stop it… Get so help.
