Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (34)

As Weed sat in the waiting room of the arena, he heard a lot of noise.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The noise of blacksmiths making weapons nearby.

Gladiators training their weapons while drenched in sweat.

“Hehe. You’ve gotten stronger since then.”

“I haven’t stopped training. I plan to continue my winning streak next time.”

From buying female slaves in the corner to enjoying pleasure, to those who are injured and dying.

“Those of you who are going to play in the next match, move quickly. Falcoy, McDal, and Kum.”

“Ready to fight.”

“I’m going.”

“I will come back victorious.”

When the rough voice of the arena manager was heard, the gladiators who were about to compete gathered.

“The opponents are rookies of the Aroidal Arena. Come back after destroying them all!”

“yep!”

The gladiators walked out, and the enthusiastic audience cheered cruelly.

“Kill him!”

“Cut off the heads of the thieves from Aroidal.”

“Pull out the intestines, the intestines, all the way out!”

The arena was a realm ruled by madness.

All the way to the waiting room, weapons are clashing and people are shouting that they must kill each other.

“The Cretan Arena is a defeat!”

“You idiots. You just blew my money again.”

“All the arenas in rural villages are like this.”

“You idiots. Are you losing in an arena where your winning percentage is only 30%?”

“Throw them all away! It would be better to feed them to leopards!”

The audience began to applaud, and after a while the gladiators returned staggering.

“Ugh.”

“It hurts, it hurts so much.”

“I lost my hand. My hand… … is gone.”

Gladiators groaned in pain and retreated to the corner.

People just didn’t care about losers.

The rough voice of the arena manager was heard speaking to his subordinate.

“It’ll be hard to use those guys going forward. If we send them out to play again, the audience’s disappointment will only grow.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Is there a place that wants soldiers?”

“The expeditionary force has only recently been organized, so it will be difficult to sell them to the army as soldiers.”

“Then let’s have a fight with 50 hungry goblins next time.”

“It would be fun to see people getting eaten by goblins. Hehehe.”

If you were in the waiting room of the arena, you could hear the bloody conversations going back and forth.

With Weed’s dry emotions, that’s just how it is.

‘Hellfire difficulty level 5, the atmosphere isn’t bad.’

(The Crete Arena that the owner belongs to seems to be weak.)

‘I think so.’

The girl who filled her hungry stomach with the money Weed gave her explained.

“Your Majesty, you have won the battle, so you can rest well today. Tomorrow, you will have to fight another enemy in the arena.”

It was a girl’s voice that was filled with regret and apology, perhaps because she had fed her a lot.

“You’re taking a day off?”

“Yes, since you weren’t seriously injured, you should be able to fight tomorrow too.”

Weed had never imagined a day of rest.

I haven’t had a proper rest since I came to Roanoke.

(You’ve worked hard, so I recommend that you take a short break. Even an hour of sleep will help your body recover.)

There was some advice from artificial intelligence Versa.

Weed is holding up thanks to the effects of the stimulant, but lately he’s been feeling a little dizzy and tired.

I thought it would be okay to rest for about 30 minutes.

“Can you sleep?”

“Yes? Yes… … . If you want, you can rent a bed or a long wooden chair in the corner.”

“How much?”

“The bed is 4 crores and the couch is 2 crores.”

It was a price that made me completely lose all thought of sleep.

Since Weed only earned 10 crores from fighting orcs, the prices at the arena were extremely expensive.

‘This too, maybe.’

(I think what the master thinks is right.)

Roanoke was a world gone mad.

The difficulty of Hell was far from moral standards and was a replica of the arena from history.

“If you wish, I can prepare a place to sleep.”

“No, it’s okay.”

For Weed, who never had a girlfriend even during his energetic teenage years because he was afraid of spending money on dates, this was the ultimate luxury.

Weed sat on a narrow chair in the gladiator’s waiting room.

I felt relieved after learning about the penalty of losing both eyes and right arm.

As bad as things are, it feels like nothing can get worse.

‘The world of Roanoke is quite vast. I had no idea they would go back hundreds of years for the Inferno difficulty.’

(There were historical periods in Royal Road too.)

‘I know. But Unicorn was a big company. Abyss isn’t that big.’

(Of course, you can’t compare us in scale.)

The arena featured 15 matches that lasted until late at night.

The waiting room is a space bustling with gladiators, administrators, and soldiers.

“I can’t just wander around the arena as I please, right?”

“The places you can go, sir, are the waiting room, the break room, the physical training room, and the combat training room.”

Stage 5 of Hell lasts a long time, 30 days.

It is not easy to fight and win against various enemies in the arena every day.

You have to hear the injuries and deaths of other gladiators in the waiting room.

For the average challenger, there were many difficult parts even if they knew about the 5 stages of Hell in advance.

Anxiety and fear that grow even more as a result of not being able to see.

‘It’s okay to be able to fight every day.’

For Weed, who only viewed his enemies as experience points and loot, it was nothing more than a luxury.

“Then can I be free?”

“yes.”

It was time to do some hard work.

Weed took a carving knife out of his pocket.

A luxurious carving knife obtained by using a treasure exchange ticket.

He placed the piece of wood he had been carrying for emergencies between his knees and held the carving knife in his left hand.

Square, square.

‘Since you can’t see with your eyes, you have to make it with your hands.’

I should start with the countless carvings I’ve done, like rabbits and foxes.

It was extremely difficult to carve with my left hand when I couldn’t see.

Even the slightest mistake could cause damage to the sculpture by applying excessive force.

I had to adapt to the Rhodoans’ special ability of having 30% enhanced physical abilities while blind.

‘This seems harder than Hell difficulty.’

Weed’s Roanoke Live Stream

The fifth stage of Hell began and the viewers’ screens were blank.

What the heck! I can’t see anything.

The screen went off!

Is this a system error?

This game is really a bust.

Can’t you all see it? I can’t see it either.

It disconnects as soon as you enter step 5. It’s so annoying.

Turn back the video time and look at the message window. You lost both eyes and your right arm?

Is it because Weed doesn’t have eyes right now that our screen is dark too?

I think so.

A lot happened in Roanoke at this moment.

In some fortresses, tens of thousands of people were holding back waves of monsters.

There was a party hunting demons in the burning land, and there was an adventurer completing a quest on a rocky hill where lightning struck.

Nevertheless, viewers showed great interest in Weed.

I was conquering the 5th stage of Hell for the first time, and it was so overwhelming from stage 1 to stage 4.

I wanted to see a big performance in stage 5 and see if he lived or died.

No eyes, no arms. This is the worst kind of fool I’ve ever seen.

Aren’t you just telling me to sit down and die?

If it were a normal game, they would have sent a truck to the front of the company.

By the way, even if Weed can’t be seen, is that the case? Are the viewers closing their screens?

This is a really crazy operation.

Abyss Saga is crazy.

What a mess… … .

Everybody be quiet.

I hear something. Let me at least listen.

The viewers focused on the sounds they heard.

The audience is cheering now. We’re in the arena.

Wow… … . I think your name is Rosar now.

Going straight into battle? Not even giving me time to adjust?

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He told me to fight 5 orcs ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Are you crazy?

What should I do when I can’t see? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Oh no, I’m still walking to fight.

I received a sword… … .

Are you really going to fight like this? Is there no other way?

Aren’t there any surprise events?

I don’t know.

It would be a waste if Weed died like this.

The swearing and cheering of the stadium crowd became more vivid.

The sound of orcs rushing in.

And a short time passed.

The audience screams.

Rosar, Rosar!

What? Did Weed win?

Did you really win? Show me right now!

How did you do it… … .

And then I’m talking to a girl in the waiting room.

The atmosphere of the stadium is amazing. Really.

She seems very young.

Looks like he’s starving. Poor thing…

There’s a bit of a story starting from level 5 of Hell.

A gladiator and a girl… … .

You have to be careful. If it’s Mr. Weed, he might sell the girl into slavery.

The guy above, stop talking nonsense.

I can hear the girl’s stomach growling from here.

Wow… … . He gives me money to buy food.

As expected, it’s Mr. Weed.

But saying that you feel like a daughter is a dangerous statement in today’s world, lol

No, Mr. Weed bought me food? That can’t be happening… … .

Abyss’ service operations team immediately identified the issue with Weed’s video transmission.

Weed’s live video has been viewed by over 5 million people.

Although it was not as popular as the top rankers with tens of millions of viewers or celebrities from China and Europe, it was still a popular broadcast that ranked within the top 30.

“In very rare cases, it has happened that the video transmission was interrupted and both eyes were not visible.”

“Is recovery possible?”

“Yeah, I asked the development team and they said we just need to switch to a relay system. It was already prepared.”

A live broadcasting system that shows videos of users in Roanoke.

While the platform maintained a simple user-centric approach to video delivery, with massive amounts of traffic coming in from around the world, the next stage of the live system was in place.

Various abilities, characteristics, achievement achievement rates, number of monsters in the area, growth rates of monsters, threat levels, etc. of users.

A large number of figures were being databased, and detailed information was to be provided together through a live system for broadcasting.

“Weed’s return. And there are many players who have little understanding of Roanoke or don’t know about the Inferno difficulty.”

“That’s true.”

Yoo Da-hye also agreed.

The generation that knew Royal Road was crazy about Weed, and there were quite a few young viewers as well.

However, it is true that his current popularity is somewhat lacking compared to his past fame.

This is because viewers’ attention is largely divided between their own country and celebrities and rankers from recent years.

“Broadcasters need to get into this game.”

Abyss didn’t want to stop at just streaming Roanoke live over the Internet.

Broadcast programs were needed to create enthusiasm among more people and spread influence among the public.

Even though the broadcasters’ share has fallen significantly, if official programs are aired on television, there will be another ripple effect.

“Most of the current high-ranking officials at broadcasting stations are from the generation that knows Weed.”

“that’s right.”

People in their 30s to 50s are the core of the broadcasting station.

A significant number of virtual reality broadcasting station employees say they entered the broadcasting industry after watching With.

“Let’s try contacting the broadcasting station.”

“KMC Media recently had Mayron, a colleague of Weed, become its director.”

“That’s right. They won’t be able to refuse our offer to make a broadcast program about Weed.”

The broadcasting station is suffering from massive deficits and cannot escape being a slave to viewer ratings.

They would never be able to refuse that offer.

“Yes.”

“Hmm, I see.”

The screen has been restored.

Weed was dozing off in his chair, holding a carving knife and a piece of wood.
