Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast

Chapter 99

[Is Silent Sword Master really the chat room manager?][8]

As soon as she received the manager role, she indiscriminately whipped everyone into submission, hahaha.

Me? If I just don’t mess with the bad chats, will it be fine?

I typed "무친련" and got a warning.

Seriously, "무친련"

Where did you bring such a girl from?

Just like the streamer, so is the manager.

Anyway, it was funny, so it’s fine.

Haa... I’ll let it slide because she’s pretty.

A beautiful streamer’s whipping? What, now I want to be whipped too.

Lee So-hye, the C-Class Awakener and "Snake Eyes," was selected as the first-ever chat manager for Silent Sword Master’s stream.

The viewers' opinions on her appointment were divided, but since Silent Sword Master often did crazy things, the consensus was that Lee So-hye was the perfect manager, matching her personality as if she had been handpicked.

“Heh heh. You really—where did you find such a manager?”

[Have you finished your training?]

“Of course I have!”

[Did you solve the meridian problems I created for you in advance?]

“Of course!”

[Let’s do a swordsmanship test. Show me your Three Vengeance Sword technique.]

“Ugh. I thought you were a study teacher.”

Despite the rare chance to see each other, Hae Eung-eung was the only one who seemed happy to do so. She made grumbling comments, but when her eyes narrowed, Joo Ah-young quickly fell into her assigned position, sensing her sincerity toward martial arts.

‘She didn’t slack off.’@@@@

Hae Eung-eung relaxed her gaze and nodded in satisfaction.

Though she complained with her mouth, Joo Ah-young had trained diligently.

Moved by a sense of admiration, Hae Eung-eung praised her, and Joo Ah-young smiled brightly in response.

“You two always get along so well.”

“I’m not giving up, no matter how jealous I am!”

“Haha, that’s not true. If it’s Jiwoo, maybe, but not me.”

So Kyung-seok, who had been watching their training with a warm smile, met Hae Eung-eung’s eyes and bowed respectfully.

“I have a report.”

[Thank you for your continued hard work.]

After defeating the garbage-like White Eye Demon and ending the game,

Hae Eung-eung had spent a few days using the internal energy she had gained for herself, purifying it more thoroughly and allowing her body to recover.

She had also helped Joo Ah-young with her training and occasionally went to the Dae-San Guild to teach martial arts, but she had not been involved in any administrative work. That was why So Kyung-seok was there to report the progress of the tasks.

“First, I found a site for the Guild Office that fits your requested conditions, but the price for a building with both training facilities, lodging, and office space is quite high.”

[How much?]

“I found a 80-pyeong building in Myeongho-dong. According to today’s official land price, it can be bought for about 8 billion won, and while negotiation with the owner is possible, I recommend a quick transaction.”

[We don’t have that kind of budget.]

“Thanks to the monster alert and the terrorism scare, the price has dropped, but we don’t know when it will recover.”

So Kyung-seok, known for his expertise in intelligence gathering, brought up another piece of information.

“I’ve heard that the two factions in the Myeongho Guild have completely fallen apart, and now they’ve been assigned to the association’s dispatched support mission.”

“Though they’re a bunch of trash, performing missions that help stabilize civilian life and secure public safety will help restore the Myeongho Guild’s damaged reputation.”

Shin Seong-gwak, a master elder of the Myeongho Guild, seemed to be improving the guild’s structure after his return.

[Are there any cheaper building sites?]

“There are some, but they’re a bit tricky, which is why they were excluded from the Guild Office options.”

[Show me.]

Hae Eung-eung accepted the materials with a light heart.

But when she saw the details, her focus began to waver.

[Urgent Sale]

[Myeongho 1-dong Mansion Site (120 pyeong)]

[Official land price: Approx. 12 billion won]

[Sale price: Approx. 4.5 billion won]

The site was large and the price was quite affordable.

It was an attractive mansion site for a guild office.

But there was one problem.

[Owner: Shin Seong-gwak]

[Urgent sale reason]

1 Damage to the mansion site due to terrorism

2 Relocation of the actual resident, Shin Seong-gwak

‘Wait, this is the house I destroyed.’

Even Hae Eung-eung, known for her evil ways, had some conscience.

To buy the house she had destroyed herself?

There was no way she would be allowed to do that without Shin Seong-gwak’s permission.

Officer: The project expenses are too much. Do we really need that mansion?

The officer refused the unexpected expenditure, but

Min Woosung quickly persuaded the officer with a simple offer.

Min Woosung: Let’s play Jumping Rabbit for one day.

The saying "Seeing is believing" was true,

so he forced the officer to play Jumping Rabbit with him.

“Why are you whining about playing a game? Just play it and see for yourself.”

“Stop talking and let’s do it. You’ll understand once you play.”

The officer scoffed at Min Woosung’s whining.

[You have fallen to your death.]

[87th death]

[Starting over from the beginning.]

He died 87 times before the officer couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully ended the game.

“Is this really Jumping Rabbit?”

“This is ridiculous. I have some conscience. Playing this devilish game, I’ll die before I even get a chance to enjoy my life. I’ll help you immediately.”

Hours later,

Shin Seong-gwak’s mansion site was bought by the National Security Bureau,

and a fake support policy for Min Woosung was created.

【New Guild Support Policy】

[Free 5-year Guild Office Lease Support]

[Myeongho 1-dong: 1 site (detailed address hyperlink)]

Min Woosung brought the policy document and went to find Hae Eung-eung.

“Guild Master. The government has issued a new support policy for new guilds, and there’s only one spot available. Just in case, I applied, and I got the notification that I was selected! Would you like to come with me?”

He hoped to make a name for himself in the guild,

make himself a core figure in the Haenam faction,

and keep an eye on the Returnee’s every move from Hae Eung-eung’s side.

This was the National Security Bureau’s scheme to help Min Woosung rise in power!

“Uh... Guild Master? You don’t look very happy. Is there something wrong?”

[The 5-year lease means that after 5 years, we might have to leave, right?]

The disciples of the sect who belonged to the Saman sect

were supposed to make this place their second home, not just a temporary training ground.

Hae Eung-eung, the sect leader in the future, could never accept a proposal like this.

[This isn’t acceptable.]

Both the proposal and Min Woosung’s attitude

went against Hae Eung-eung’s principles.

He had failed to score any points in front of someone who valued pride above money.

Stuck between the Returnee and the National Security Bureau,

Min Woosung, with a hollow smile, thought to himself.

‘What should I do if she refuses?’

Suddenly, Min Woosung’s mind read something in Hae Eung-eung’s thoughts.

If it were a permanent lease, I might accept it.

“....”

Had she figured out his mind-reading ability?

Min Woosung seriously pondered.
