Hyeonu’s Masked Fighter King was now an open secret among the rankers. There was no way they could not know. Nike contacted big names from amongst the large guilds, pro-gamers, and even famous streamers.
“You and me? Nike? Masked Fighting King? What is that?” Kim Seokjung rubbed his ears after hearing Gang Junggu’s words.
Having often seen this side of Kim Seokjung before, Gang Junggu explained with a casual expression, “It is the content that Alley Leader created. They seem to be talking to every big name.”
“Alley Leader? Will he appear?” Kim Seokjung took interest after hearing the mention of ‘Alley Leader.’ Hyeonu’s face appeared faintly in his mind. Kim Seokjung wanted to find this person.
‘I haven’t seen his stiff face in a long time.’
Now that the fourth main scenario was over, Kim Seokjung was just leveling up in newly discovered areas until someone opened another main scenario. In other words, he was bored. Nike’s invitation at this time was like rain after a drought for Kim Seokjung who was so bored. It was worth noting that it was nice to see Hyeonu in particular.
“The fee isn’t set yet. I just know that if you’re willing to participate, you will obtain unique items and incentives based on viewership.”
Kim Seokjung stated, “Then I will participate. Will you go?”
“If you go, I have to go. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be the vice-president of the guild,” Gang Junggu said in a natural manner. He gave an implied meaning instead of saying he would go where his brother was going.
“Aigoo, our Junggu has grown a lot. Then the guild’s leaders will go.”
This was the moment when Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu decided to join Masked Fighter King.

A conversation was taking place elsewhere. It was in the Phoenix Guild.
“Carey, are you going to appear?”
“Of course. When else would I get a chance to fight those guys? I couldn’t find them before in the rankings. This is an opportunity! A chance!” Carey said like it was obvious. An opportunity like this was rare. If a dancing mat were laid out, he would be dancing.
“Additionally, Rachel, I got information from someone trustworthy inside Quency...” Carey spoke in a low voice. “There are rumors that a huge event will be held to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Arena’s opening. The thing that interests people the most is the PvP division.”
Rachel nodded. Carey’s words were true. Pro-gamers took part in events such as PvP, a siege, a raid, and so on. However, the most popular of them were in charge of the PvP and individual categories. They were overwhelmingly popular and had overwhelmingly high salaries. The spotlights only illuminated them. The rest of the people were just like a bride’s bridesmaids for them.
Rachel asked, “Really? Then this is us gathering information for that event?”
“Of course. It isn’t just because I want to appear. There are so many videos out there. Still, the most important thing is to experience it once. You can’t tell just by looking at videos,” Carey made an impassioned speech.
It persuaded Rachel. “Then we will both appear.”
“By the way, will Alley Leader also be there?
“I don’t know. Will he come out? The level is different.”

“Everyone, thank you for watching my live stream today. See you next time!”
After the match against Clear, Hyeonu ended the live stream. It was because he received a note.
-Brother, please contact me if you have time.
It was a message from Mason.
“Did something happen?” Hyeonu wondered and sent a whisper straight back to Mason.
-To Mason: What's going on?
It was answered immediately as if Mason had been waiting for Hyeonu’s contact or perhaps the timing of his break was well-matched with Hyeonu’s.
-From Mason: Hyung? Do you have time now?
-To Mason: What's going on?
-From Mason: I found an instance dungeon and was wondering if you could help me.
“Instance dungeon? Unconditionally, I have to go to the dungeon.”
Hyeonu decided to unconditionally accept after hearing the word ‘dungeon’.
“By the way, what level is it?”
-To Mason: What is the level of the dungeon?
-From Mason: I think it is over level 100. It is in the Cherun Plains.
Cherun Plains...
The Cherun Plains had a similar level to the Arti Desert. In other words, it was a hunting area up to level 110.
-To Mason: I’m coming right now. Wait a bit.
-From Mason: I understand, Hyung. I’ll be waiting.
After the whisper, Hyeonu immediately headed to the Cherun Plains that Mason mentioned.

At this time, Nike Management was holding a detailed meeting on how to run Hyeonu’s Masked Fighting King. In recognition of his efforts to unearth Hyeonu, Kale was promoted from the existing sales team to head of the planning department. This was the first meeting he was holding since becoming the head. Yet Kale was leading the meeting skillfully.
“They are all big names, so I think we’ll have to proceed with it being once a week or once a month.”
“I agree with that. It is hard to bring them together once a week at a certain time.”
“Then how many people should participate in a shoot at one time?”
“I think eight people is a suitable number. It will be hard to schedule if there are any more.”
Kale coordinated the opinions. The framework had been decided to some extent. Once the framework was established, fine-tuning was an easy task.
“It will happen once a week. The shooting time is between approximately four to five hours. The day of the shooting is Monday or Friday in Korea. It is because the parties in this plan are Korean.”
“Finally, the total number of people is eight. How about it?”
“I think it is good.”
“Me too.”
“It is perfect.”
At this moment, someone opened the door to the meeting room and entered. It was Jamie, the leading representative of Nike Management. “Kale, I have an objection.”
“Boss! Why are you here?” Kale was surprised by Jamie’s appearance.
Jamie should’ve been at headquarters right now. “I just finished a video call with the head office. I don’t need to go there. I feel this is where I’m needed,” Jamie said. Then he sipped the Americano in his hand and continued, “The set up is too normal. It should be more dramatic. First, the loser has to take off their mask and reveal their identity.”
