Chapter 341
“Do any of you know what Marlenvia is?” Cha Jin-Hyeok asked the viewers.
The viewers erupted in laughter, flooding the chat with LOL emojis.
-Wow, he even has the energy to chat! LOL
-This livestream is insane! LOL
-He’s casually chatting with his viewers after taking down the toughest Player in Hell, LOL!
Jin-Hyeok had gone from intensely fighting during the duel to casually conversing with his viewers. No other Streamer could integrate these two types of content so seamlessly.
-Wow, Chul-Soo can do both!
-LOL, He’s indeed a legendary talent.
-How’s that talent? It’s all because of his hard work.
From the hundreds of thousands of incoming messages, Wang Yu-Mi skillfully extracted the information Jin-Hyeok needed.
“Min-Ji, are you organizing the data?” Yu-Mi asked.
“Of course.” Min-Ji, who had aided Han Sae-Rin in Master Kaynamar’s Artificial Dungeon, was now sitting next to Yu-Mi, wearing round glasses. She muttered to herself, “I’m not helping just Chul-Soo; I’m helping Yu-Mi too.”
Min-Ji selected several crucial pieces of information and organized them for Yu-Mi, who compiled and relayed them to Jin-Hyeok.
[Kaymanar. Marlenvia. They both seem like people's names, probably Arvis!]
Impressed, Jin-Hyeok said, “Thank you, everyone. I have learned that Kaymanar and Marlenvia are people’s names. It’s amazing how much information we can gain if we work together!”
Jin-Hyeok read aloud the usernames of the important contributors to this information. “Thank you, BurningStir-fry, Lolcat, Born2bPretty, MoneyIsLife, and CuteCat. I appreciate you guys.”
His acknowledgments further fueled the viewers’ excitement.
-I am so jealous of them!
-Please say my username too!
-Say my name!
-What about me... T_T
Jin-Hyeok felt a bit embarrassed. ‘Is saying their names such a big deal?’
He was overwhelmed by the affection, and his heart pounded with joy.
‘I need to work hard for them.’

Even though Sae-Rin also tried to harness the power of the viewers’ collective intelligence, she didn’t find any more meaningful results. But this didn’t bother Jin-Hyeok.
Sae-Rin looked slightly worried. “What should we do? We didn’t get any significant information.”
“What do you mean?” Jin-Hyeok replied. “My interactions with the viewers went incredibly well. It was just like any other daily content, and we didn’t lose many viewers. We can even use it as a trailer for our next content. Everything went well!” U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
“Oh right,” Sae-Rin murmured, shaking her head. ‘I keep forgetting he’s a Streamer.’
She was overlooking this again and again, and this wasn’t ideal. If she failed to understand the hearts of her close comrades, she could not call herself a capable Ruler.
‘I lack a lot. I need to work harder,’ she thought.
In contrast to Sae-Rin’s critical evaluation of herself, people were paying growing attention to her abilities.
[Shocking Abilities of a Barrier Mage.]
At one point, she dominated the top trending searches on Nerver, the largest online community in the universe.
[1. Han Sae-Rin.
2. Ruler’s Barrier Skill.
3. Barrier Mage.
4. Barrier Mage Ranking.
5. Barrier.

The parchment paper had so many similar names, such as Goldium, Goldiramum, Goldimamum, Goldihamum, and Goldijamum. It also had labels like the first son of someone, the second son of another, and the third daughter of another. All this text seemed like a continuous string of meaningless wordplay or incantations.
“Even the Artificial Dungeon had the word ‘Master’ in front of it, right? I think the Goldium family might have some clues left,” Yolin giggled. “And I know that someone in the Goldium family is more enthusiastic about supporting you than anyone else, right, Boss?”
Yolin was referring to Katrina, who had transformed into a woman with Jin-Hyeok’s help.

Things were going smoothly.
“Goldiramum’s Underground Warehouse? Yeah, I know it well,” Katrina said, her expression slightly grimacing. “It’s not a very pleasant term.”
“Why?” Jin-Hyeok asked.
“Goldiramum’s Underground Warehouse is one of the inheritances passed down through generations. It’s like trash, discarded to the children deemed useless.”
The warehouse was located in a cave behind the family’s mountain. It barely opened, and even if it was forcefully opened, one wouldn’t find anything there. A place of no real significance, it was maintained only because of its historical importance.
“Can we visit it?” Jin-Hyeok asked.
“Of course, we can go if you want,” Katrina replied with a wink, leading the way.
Jin-Hyeok admired her from behind. ‘She seems even more robust.’
Every time he saw her, he was impressed by her physique. Although becoming a woman had slimmer her overall lines, her muscles were still exceptional in size. Her sturdy physique had a different kind of beauty to it.
Katrina mischievously smiled. “So, it’s just the two of us going to the mountain, into a secluded area?”
“That’s right.”
“Too bad. If you were a bit weaker, I might have taken advantage of you.”
Jin-Hyeok’s mood improved. ‘She’s good at drawing attention.’
He wished she would provoke him a bit more.
As if she had read his mind, Katrina said, “Be careful, if you lose your strength, I might pounce on you. Is that okay?”
Jin-Hyeok grinned. This could work as a provocative thumbnail for his video.
‘And the recording is going well,’ he thought.
He stood in front of a vine-covered cave.
“Goldiramum’s Underground Warehouse is inside this cave. There are too many vines... Did you bring a machete or something?” Katrina asked.
“No.” Jin-Hyeok pulled out Miri.
‘What’s he going to do with a hammer?’ Katrina thought. However, before she could ask him, Jin-Hyeok swung Miri, swiftly cutting the vines blocking the cave entrance. It was like the vines had been put through a shredder.
“Incredible.” She was a Craftswoman who judged tools like no other. “I have never seen a crazy guy use a blunt weapon like that. So sexy.”
Katrina subtly moved closer and said, “Could you rip my clothes off like th... Where are you going? Don’t leave me behind, Oppa! The inside of the cave is complicated. We need to go together!”
Katrina quickly realized her concerns were unnecessary. “Isn’t this your first time coming here?”
“It is,” Jin-Hyeok replied.
“So, why do you charge forward without hesitation? We just passed five crossroads.”
“Well, I think I kind of know which way to go.”
Even if he was wrong, it did not matter. He could always turn back.
“Have you memorized the route?”
“I didn’t. I just know it.”
To Jin-Hyeok, this was nothing remarkable. Even without considering the powerful abilities of Mole Woman or Lessefim, a Ruler like Sae-Rin would easily remember the routes of this cave.
“Why wouldn’t a Streamer be able to do what a Ruler can?” Jin-Hyeok asked.
“I see.”
Jin-Hyeok easily found a passage leading underground. “It looks like a well. It’s very similar to the Artificial Dungeon of Kaymanar we cleared a few days ago. The underground warehouse is said to be inside.”
Jin-Hyeok jumped down without hesitation and managed to land safely. The space was enclosed with rocky walls. A damp and musty air filled the area, and a rusted iron door stood before them.
The Streamer took out a key from his inventory. “We’ve come a long way. Let’s try opening the door.”
