Greatest Streamer System

Chapter 204: Chapter 204 – Yapping The Second Mission

Finishing the first mission of the storyline alone took 2 hours, and 20 minutes of that was spent climbing the building. If only he knew about the Garudama transport service, he would have finished this way earlier.

"Use our service again, young mercenary!" A middle-aged man riding a flying monster that looked like an eagle with orange feathers waved his hand and took off.

Max watched him fly away with the monster, and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. That was why his viewers reacted strangely when he climbed the building again. He thought they were laughing with him, but it turned out they laughed at him.

"You guys are really evil when I need help. Why can't you just tell me about the flying service?" He grumbled.

And then, he rolled his eyes, remembering what the chat told him before.

"Ah, I remember. No backseat, right? I think you guys need to know the difference between back seating and helping the streamer. Do you want me to hold a lesson about that?"

— No need to! We know already

— Yeah, we just don't tell you on purpose to see your parkour

— *nod nod* your parkour is so cool that we want to see it

— Definitely not to make you suffer. Source: Trust me bro

— I love seeing your serious expression and smiling face when you climb the building. It makes me want to keep you!

Excuses. Max knew that they could always tell him about it. They just wanted to see him working pretty hard and got frustrated.

Sighing, he just walked out of the base toward the steam train. The next mission should be in the main station because the lump of light gathered at the name station when he chose his next destination.

This time, strangely, the train was quite packed with mercenaries. They were apparently deployed to deal with Tromax in Misty Forest. It explained the situation because the train passed that place before continuing to the main station in Utopia.

'The game puts the details in a strange place.'

Even stranger than that, Max's usual seat near the door wasn't taken. So he sat in that place and enjoyed the time skip. Of course, the chat had to make comments about it.

— Breeze is surrounded by burly men

— Don't ever raise your rear! It's in danger!

— Please forgive their dirty minds…

— Those mercenaries are so cool. Can I ask for their contact information?

— Let me join, Breeze! I will… huff… protect you!

— Dude, Mercenary Quest is a solo game. You can't just 'join' their lobby. The online server hasn't opened yet. Biozone Entertainment said it would be next month.

— Do you know anything about that, Breeze? When will we be able to meet in-game?

"I have no clue at all. I only played this to run away from stress." He answered the chat while waiting.

When he arrived at Utopia, the crowd on the train was already gone. He exited the train and looked around for the clue to the next mission. And just a few seconds later, he saw the lump of light flying toward a certain direction.

"Let's see what the next mission is about."

Following the light, Max once again found himself meeting Jamal. It seemed like he was the main mission-giver, and the NPC was closely tied to the main storyline in this game.

When he got closer, Jamal's eyes landed on him and exclaimed, "Oh, newbie! You've arrived. I heard the details already from a little birdie. You did something amazing, didn't you? Hahaha, you have gone for 3 days and returned with such news. I am proud of you, bud!"

"Thank you," Max responded.

Three days seemed to have passed since he last spoke to Jamal. Was it due to his travel between all places? His menu had no date, so he didn't notice it. Still, that wasn't important. Jamal seemed to have no intention to stop anytime soon.

The energetic mercenary kept yapping endlessly about the Tromax extermination, saying that he participated in one in the past when he was Max's age. Not only that, but he also gave out trivia.

"You know? Traxor is actually only able to breed inside Misty Forest. They probably will burn the forest if the numbers are too great, but thankfully, you reported it at the right time. And those reptiles… Ugh, they have annoying stuff. Their glittering pollen can make you turn around without you realizing it."

— This guy yap a lot

— Look at Breeze. His smile had disappeared already, and he only looked at Jamal with a blank look

— lol, peak content

— I guess he isn't even listening.

"If it were me, I would be dead. Of course, right now, I am stronger, so I would survive. Eh? Contradicting? Obviously not! I want to say that you did a good job surviving that." Jamal nodded repeatedly with crossed arms.

'Ah, I want it to end.' Max thought. 'Just give me the new mission already.'

"If you're that strong, I guess I can tell you this."

After a while, Jamal's yapping ended. Max's smile returned to his face, even brighter than before.

'Finally!'

— Look, he shines!

— Shiny Breeze! Catch him, it's rare.

— Round Ball thrown! Success Rate 50%

— I GOT IT! Screenshots, clipped, saved. It will be my heirloom.

Ignoring the chat that made fun of him, he listened to Jamal's explanation about the second quest.

"Located near the base is a Daigon Valley. It's a location for Small-Class monsters like Garudama, Horsedis, and Catlapu. I saw that you are walking a lot, not having any mount or steam machine. So talk to Old Man Rig outside this station. He will teach you how to tame a monster."

[Ding! A new mission is generated.]

[First Friend!]

[Ask how to tame a monster to Old Man Rig. Be careful. He's grumpy.]

[Reward: 150 Gills, 1 taming device.]

Looking at the notification, Max's eyes shone.

"I can tame a monster and make it my mount?!"

Mount!

Not only that, but it was a monster mount. He still remembered that middle-aged man riding Garudama on a saddle. And he also liked the feeling of riding it, even though it was just for a few moments.

"Yes! In fact, taming monsters and putting them in the stable is normal for mercenaries. Do you know about–"

"Say less! I will depart immediately." Max said and left without giving Jamal a chance to explain.

He didn't want to hear him yapping again!

— He's running away

— lolol, Jamal's average experience

— I have to admit Breeze has a big heart. He actually listened to Jamal's first yapping without cutting the NPC off

— Jamal seems to like Breeze. He yaps a lot! The more he yap, the more he likes the player, it said.

— lolol, let me post it in Mercenary Hub with the clip of Breeze climbing the main building

Mercenary Hub was the name of Mercenary Quest's community forum, a hub to exchange information. It was usually filled with information on how to hunt certain monsters or how to finish a quest. Entertainment was scarce because it was filled with die-hard monster hunters.

All the funny moments were appreciated. And so, when an unusual thread was posted, many players visited it like they were queueing for a viral hot cake.

[Lololol, a player climbs up the main base near Daigon Valley because taking a stair is a chore! He did it twice while being oblivious to Garudama Service.]

Three videos of short clips from when Max climbed up and down the building skillfully. Unexpectedly, it received a good reaction. Some curious and bored players asked for the streaming link, which made the thread starter add it at the top.

A few minutes after the thread was posted, the livestream viewers reached 16K, once again breaking the threshold, and it became the Mercenary Quest's livestream with the most viewers count in Punch.
