Chapter 206 – Ground Zero (3)
“Thank you for watching today’s broadcast! With Nyangnyangseok until now!”
“Ah, it was Ada Bomber Jung Soo-hyun.”
Jung Soo-hyun smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. The chat window was plastered with haha’. The man who was watching the v-tube on his mobile phone screen also tapped the cigarette he was holding in his hand into a public ashtray with a smile on his face.
Virtual v-tuber Nyang Nyang-seok said with a tantrum.
“Nyaaang! At that time, I didn’t ask you to pose as a cat with me! Well, let’s try again! With Nyangnyangseok!”
“Oh, it was an Ada bomber.”
Nyangnyangseok approached Jeongsuhyun and asked.
“All?”
Jeong Su-hyeon slightly twisted her eyebrows and awkwardly took a cat pose.
“… Nyan.”
Nyan Nyang Seok waved his hand with a lively smile again.
“Until now, I was a nyang nyang stone!”
“You look like a real asshole, fuck. Didn’t the Black Dragon Room just get fucked up?”
“Hey, that guild goes like this. What can I do? Really.”
And the hunters of the famous guild [Amazing] Were witnessing the debut of this [Ground Zero] In their leisurely break. Sitting cross-legged, the man flicked his cigarette with his finger and put it in the ashtray. The man who was watching next to him got up with both his hands in his pockets.
“Hey, Taehyung. But why is it in the Black Dragon Room?”
“Yes?”
And next to them was Tae-kyung, the ‘King of Iron Blood Fist’, who was looking at this scene with a slightly bitter face. He escaped from Black Dragon’s Ark before anyone else when Choi Sun-Hong of Black Dragon’s Ark turned into a terrorist and joined [Amazing]. He was currently working as a [Amazing] D-Class Hunter.
Hunter, who works on the same team in [Amazing], Smiled and asked Taekyung.
“Why was the name Black Dragon Bang here? I heard you were a crazy person who wanted to become a Gilma nobleman and a heavenly horse? Then shouldn’t we build a guild with a name related to the Demonic Cult or something related to the Demonic Cult?”
“Ah, why is that…”
Tae-gyeong recalled a story he had heard from Lee Jun-hyeok before. Lee Joon-hyeok cared for Tae-gyeong, the ‘King of Iron Blood Fists’. It was because he was very talented among the D-class, and he did a good job. Tae-kyung recalled Lee Jun-hyeok’s face in his memory and was overcome with a mixed mood. He frowned slightly and shook his head before speaking.
“At first, I was going to name it Heavenly Demon Shinkyo, but at that time, because of the hit of [City Heavenly Demon], There were quite a few guilds with the name of Heavenly Demon. There was the Heavenly Demon Protestantism, there was the Heavenly Demon Supreme, there was the Heavenly Demon King, and there was also the Heavenly Demon Demonstration.”
“[Downtown Cheonma] Is a real scoundrel without conscience. Just use the title of the book.”
“So, he said that if he used the heavenly horse in the guild name, he would be on the same level as them. So I was going to do it under a different name than Cheonma Deity, but at that time the ark said this. ‘We all live with a dragon in our hearts. For our future, who will someday ascend to heaven, let’s name it a dragon-related name.’”
“Ah, so after putting the dragons by color, did you choose a black dragon because you think the black dragon is the coolest?”
“I don’t know. So I heard that it was built as a Black Dragon room, but there must have been several other processes in the middle.”
“Okay?”
The YouTube screen froze at the scene where Jung Soo-hyeon and Virtuber were standing side by side in a cat pose. Hunter said to Taekyung.
“How do you see it now? The guild you went to has become like this.”
Taekyung smiled without saying anything. I had to go back to work today. She had a good guild atmosphere here, and when she saw Black Dragon’s room doing strange things, she thought it was good to come out, but sometimes a strange nostalgia arose in her heart. Taekyung shook her head and followed Hunter to get rid of her nostalgia.
I had to go around the gate today.

“Hey, Minyoung.”
‘Howling’ Min-young Oh, who was drinking her beer through a straw, tilted her head back to check who was talking to her. She was Charles, the drummer in the same band. His original name was Bongjeongman. He thought his real name was old-fashioned, so it was a case of using a stage name. He said while holding his phone.
“Hey, didn’t you say you were in sync with him?”
“Who is he?”
“He is there. Bomber.”
“Bombing… Ah. Uh, synchronicity. You came to listen to a song the other day.”
Oh Min-young nodded her head and said. Charles held out his phone to Oh Min-young. Oh Min-young stretched out her arm behind her as she leaned back on the chair and accepted Charles’ cell phone. Said Charles.
“There was a broadcast there.”
“What is this?”
“Doesn’t Nyan Nyang-seok know?”
“Nyangnyangseok? What. Is it a cat breeding show?”
Oh Min-young turned on her broadcast without thinking. 3D cartoon rendering Neko Mimi short-haired character wagging his tail while making cute gestures. Oh Min-young looked at Charles again while looking at the video.
“You see something like this? Hey, if you’re going to watch this, I’d rather watch idol fancams. What’s this.”
“Hey, that’s popular. He speaks well and is cute, so everyone secretly watches it as if he were watching an anime. Look at the number of subscribers there, 1.3 million.”
“1.3 million? Wow, exactly 1,000 times as many subscribers as we have.”
Oh Min-young shook her head as she said that. She and her band members were also running her V-tube called [Hunting Season]. The number of subscribers is about 1,000. Oh Min-young looked at Jeong Su-hyeon, who was trembling with her jokes.
“Then Suhyun-kun! It’s to show off a cool look like a hunter!”
“Oh, I’ve never done this before…”
Jung Soo-hyun and Nyang Nyang-seok spent time copying hunter action scenes in famous action movies. When I showed a splendid action scene with CG and special effects directly with my body, Nyang Nyang-seok also opened his eyes wide and jumped up and down and liked it. Said Charles.
“Hey, Gao is all gone. I will be embarrassed.”
Oh Min-young looked at the video and asked her while turning her head.
“What is embarrassing?”
Charles said with a laugh.
“No, it is. The Hunter isn’t living a Hunter life, and he’s out there and playing tricks.”
“You don’t play drums either, and you always post V-logs.”
Hearing the cold reply from his fellow band member, Charles said as if he was upset.
“Hey, that’s different from this. Uh? I’m deliberately vlogging to get the band up and running…”
Oh Min-young laughed at Charles. Charles was a little offended by her laugh, but he couldn’t show her fist or make a displeased look. It was because I had an experience where I was beaten one-sidedly enough to not die in a drunken fight the other day.
There was a physical difference between a child and an adult Hunter, who plays active duty in the gate with the general public.
“You’re trying to save the guild after the Black Dragon Room is ruined. Why are you laughing It’s all the same struggling to rise. It must be hard. Jung Soo-hyun.”
Charles looked at Oh Min-young with a shy expression, scratched her head, and took her phone again. And he turned the subject.
“Hey, how do you do that with the truck?”
“Truck? For now, I’m collecting money while running the gate. It was very expensive because we bought it with the specifications we wanted. There’s that All the audio sessions are in, and the speakers are full.”
“Can’t we just start with a small truck?”
“If we’re going to perform in a little truck, we’ll just keep performing here. What are we going to do? Spend money? There is an old saying like that. Dream big.”
As Oh Min-young said that, she spread her hands wide to the sky. When she bumped into her hand and the beer glass was about to roll under her table, Oh Min-young jumped up in surprise and grabbed her beer glass. And she said
“If I just buy a truck, I’ll quit my hunter life.”
“It’s okay to continue living as a hunter. It also serves as a source of money for the band.”
Oh Min-young shook her head at Charles’ carefree voice. She said with a disgusted expression.
“Money is not the problem. Because the hunter keeps the monster from coming out beyond the gate. Are all the complaints coming in? Fuck, I went out to the emergency gate dispatch at dawn and fought, but I stabbed a complaint with our guild. Stop fighting loudly.”
“It must have been difficult.”
Charles shrugged his shoulders. Oh Min-young knew that he couldn’t relate to her, so she didn’t say anything more about her. She summarized her self and her will in one word.
“Seriously, just buy a truck and see. Truck only.”

Seong Ha-yeon, Ichi-ae, and Kim Yu-jeong huddled together in front of her company laptop to watch the broadcast. This computer was originally Seong Ha-yeon’s work computer, so the V-tube ID was also logged in as Seong Ha-yeon. Ichie read the ID of the Holy Spirit.
“A fantastic cool cool lady?”
“Isn’t it cool?”
“Why are you cool?”
“Because I’m the coolest of the coolest people.”
“It’s awesome. Sister.”
Ichie replied in a soulless voice. Seong Ha-yeon stared at Kim Yoo-jung as if to show off, and Kim Yoo-jung shook her head with an expression of disgust. Seong Ha-yeon tried to chat by tapping her keyboard, but she looked at Kim Yoo-jung and asked.
“Hey, but how do you do that donation? While watching this broadcast, I want to put it in for our Suhyeon to see.”
“You have to pay for that.”
“You have to pay? Can’t we just let them do it once for free?”
Seong Ha-yeon grumbled and took out her cell phone. Kim Yoo-jung smiled bitterly, and Ichie spoke next to her.
“Hayeon sister. You can’t like it for free. She heard that there is a Korean proverb like that. If you like freebies, you will go bald.”
“Hmm!”
Lee Jun-hyeok, who was working next to me, coughed loudly while looking away. Seong Ha-yeon pricked her Ichie’s side, and her Ichie grabbed her by the side and shrank her body. She said to Ichie.
“Should I apologize?”
“It is better to be quiet.”
Lee Joon-hyeok was playing with Jeong Su-hyeon’s hair without realizing it while watching the broadcast.
