I Became a Malicious Streamer

Mollru was the first to discover the Easter Egg, but that didn’t mean the challenge was over.

There were a total of 23 Easter Eggs and Hidden Routes hidden in the World 23 game.

The challenge would only end when all of them were found, determining the winner based on the quantity and significance of the discoveries.

Finding a lot didn’t mean anything good. The more tied to the hidden story of the game or the more effort the developers put into it, the higher the score would be.

Ultimately, the person with the highest score would take the top spot, followed by second and third places.

Thus, after Mollru discovered the first Easter Egg, the excitement of the challenge didn’t fade at all.

In fact, it could be said to have flared up even more.

Was there really an Easter Egg? Those who couldn’t find anything in the desert, at least confirmed its existence.

It was a bizarre method, but Mollru ultimately found it.

That was enough. Other streamers might think they couldn’t do it, just because she did.

As a result, A.T.X’s Monitor Room was bustling with a festive atmosphere today as well.

“See, Mollru really is the goddess of luck! I knew my hunch was right; Mollru had to be in this.”

The team leader, worn out and gaunt, had been receiving comments recently about how they looked better.

It was only natural that a project they had poured their heart into would start to shine.

Plus, with the unexpected results, they also secured a bonus beyond imagination from the representative.

This was a smooth road, but when did it all begin?

Sorry to his wife who was waiting for him at home, but he thought it started from the moment he discovered Mollru and decided to sponsor her.

Artists refer to it as a muse.

A symbol of luck and inspiration for them.

For the team leader, that was Mollru.

“Uh, Team Leader.”

“Haha, yes. Our cute Kim Dae-ri.”

The deputy, not accustomed to the team leader’s high tension, cleared his throat and spoke.

“About that tweet you left, saying ‘Mollru is a goddess.’ That one.”

“Yes, my pure impression. What about it?”

“It seems Mollru left a dislike on it.”

The deputy held up his phone to the team leader.

In the screen, Mollru’s stream was playing. She was pressing the dislike button with a horrified expression.

Though that horrified face was still quite beautiful.

“Hmm, was she very embarrassed?”

As the team leader scratched his head, the deputy sighed inwardly.

It was strange for a perfectly fine person to suddenly lose their mind like this.

Of course, the marketing had worked even better than expected…

‘Is this the Mollru effect?’

The deputy recalled a post he saw in the community. Once you got hooked on Mollru, you couldn’t escape. Back then, he thought it was simply a worried statement.

But wasn’t there a perfect example of that right in front of him?

‘Though it seems to be in a bit of a different way.’

This felt different from the phrases the community mentioned. This leaned more towards fan sentiment.

After pondering for a moment, the deputy shook his head.

He didn’t know. Whether the team leader turned into a foul soup or a fanatic, who cares, good is good.

The deputy felt like he was going to fly with the performance bonus he would soon receive. It wasn’t surprising that the team leader was acting like this.

“Monitor 3, streamer Tex. Found the Easter Egg. 3.”

“Monitor 7, streamer Papi Joah. Entering Hidden Route #4.”

Staff in the Monitor Room reported from all corners.

Starting with Mollru, as time passed, streamers were discovering Easter Eggs and Hidden Routes one by one.

“Is there still no news from Mollru?”

“Yes, it’s been quiet since yesterday.”

“I see…”

The team leader openly showed disappointment. However, the deputy nodded.

‘It seems like she’s feeling the pressure since she got such a high lift.’

Unintentionally but accurately reading Mollru’s heart, the deputy predicted that if she wins this challenge, her already high popularity would skyrocket.

‘It wouldn’t be bad for her to take a break.’

It wouldn’t harm her reputation.

True fan Kim Dae-ri thought like that.

But as usual, the world doesn’t always go as planned.

Today marked the fifth day, and I was still playing the World.

Not just because of the challenge, but simply because the game was fun. The map was so wide, stuffed with features, that each time I played, it was a different experience.

There was no chance of getting bored anytime soon.

Separately, I was getting updates through my cuckoo.

“Tex found an Easter Egg, and Papi has entered the Hidden Route?”

These were people I had ties to, those I met early in my streaming career.

Now that I had become so big, it was kind of funny to call it the Mollru faction.

“Raising my cooking level by eating at the food stall, and then inherited the shop…”

That was Tex’s story. He also noticed the Easter Egg when a system phrase appeared, just like me.

[Sounds like a skewered extravagance ㅇㅇ]

[It seems the representative is a regular there]

[Is it a popular place?]

[It’s well-known there]

[I’m the only one who didn’t know]

[That place is delicious]

[Foodie special: Not in our town]

[A Jeju resident has never heard of this story]

It turned out to be a well-known tale. Seeing some viewers nodding along was telling.

“Papi is transitioning to a hidden class? The name is… Master? Interesting.”

A hidden class not visible in the job categories. It seemed Papi Joah opened that path through the Hidden Route.

“A deity appeared after climbing a waterfall backward, admiring their will and took them as a disciple? But why were they climbing the waterfall in the first place?”

[Climbing is their hobby~]

[Why? It must be because they need to do something]

[Just happened to stumble upon it?]

[Lucky them]

It really is possible to get lucky while doing such a crazy act.

Well, my case was an exception; most of those discovering Hidden Routes or Easter Eggs usually went through such processes.

To me, it wasn’t a bad story. My shoulders, which had been weighed down by the sky, seemed to lighten a bit.

I figured the developers and viewers wouldn’t elevate me anymore.

[When will Bangjang find it?]

[Mollru opened the path first, so the later runners could rush like this…]

[They probably saw everything and are purposely not looking ㅋㅋ]

[Rl, anyway, the victory is Mollru’s, right? It’s in the palm of Mollru’s hand?]

[Mollru is smiling… No matter how fast racing dogs run, they can’t beat Mollru, the cheetah… Their kind is simply different…]

Hmm, it seems to need more time. Not yet enough to drain their madness.

“Purposefully not finding it? What are you talking about? I’m searching hard right now.”

I said as I raised the clinking coin pouch. I wondered if anything would appear, but nothing showed up.

Looks like there’s nothing here?

-NPC Jack is lamenting.

-Please, just let me see it once. If you take that too, my beloved wife and bunny-like kids…

“Nope, can’t do. The world of competition is always harsh.”

A showdown with the famous gambler Jack at the gambling house. The result was my crushing victory.

Why act so pathetic among people who know the score? If I had lost, I would’ve taken everything without mercy, even down to their underwear.

[I’ve seen that drawing before…]

[Gambling house? Cyber gambling house? Ugh, my head…]

[It’s Jay Jay…]

[??? : Welcome to the fantasy world of Mollru Land]

[Hope the Flare crew is doing well]

[Bangjang really is a player, cleaning out everything]

“It was just luck.”

The viewers buzzed about deception and humility, shouting ‘Great Mollru,’ but there was nothing else to say. But that was the truth.

Thanks to that, my gold possessions nearly doubled. What should I do with this?

-Are you a newspaper vendor…? Would you like to buy a newspaper from NPC Newspaper girl?

My choice wasn’t that far away.

To revitalize the market economy, I approached the girl selling newspapers, sniffling, and bought a newspaper.

-Please enter the number of purchases (Maximum: 99)

Numbers, numbers… since it’s money I got for free, should I just buy them all?

-Wow, really. Are you really going to buy them all?

The girl beams as she hands over a stack of newspapers. It’s nice to see her so happy.

Just as I accepted the money, the girl seemed to run off somewhere in a hurry. While putting the newspapers into my inventory, that was when it happened.

*Conditions met.

-With the money stolen from a figure of evil, you purchased all the newspapers from the newspaper girl.

-A special event occurs.

[Kittaaaaaaa]

[Did Bangjang do something again?]

[What now?]

[Legendary condition ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is it some good vs evil thing?]

[Mollru has a plan…]

I just stayed quiet. There was nothing else to say now.

-Easter Egg, the secret rendezvous method of the Information Guild.

*Having uncovered the Information Guild’s rendezvous method, you can now utilize the Information Guild.

*The Information Guild is watching you.

What kind of Information Guild meets like this?
