Greatest Streamer System

Moving the carcass was… painful. He took out a large rope in his inventory, which he found when the viewers told him, and tied all the carcasses to pull back to the base.

Tying it was the hardest challenge. Moving the large monster to the base was another, especially since he dissected its wings and cut its gut.

"It would've been better if I only took the important part. Why can't I do that?" Max complained while dragging the monster's remains behind him. "Ah, yeah. Client's request, right? I won't take any material collecting quests when this tutorial is finished."

— You can hire a helper lol

— Don't forget that you aren't alone in this game

— There are indeed various quests, but this is the easiest and most direct one.

"Hah." Max huffed as he threw the rope to the ground.

After a few minutes, he arrived at the base. He wiped his forehead as if there was sweat and looked at the camera.

"No matter what you say, I won't take such a quest again. This is final."

After he said that, he heard a loud noise from afar.

Boom!

By instinct, he turned to the source of the sound and gripped the sword's handle on his back. His movement was smooth, as if he was a veteran who had done this many times already. Even the viewers were impressed by it.

Still, he had no time to read the chat. There was an immediate danger hauling toward him.

From the source of that loud noise, a large boulder was flying. Looking at the trajectory it was flying to… It would crash right at him.

"Holy! What the fuck is that?!"

— Moly

— Guacamoly!!

— HOLY MOLY, that turd is so huge!

— That shiet is huge!

— Run Breeze, Run!!

Even without the chat telling him, he had already done so. Ignoring everything else, he ran toward the direction where the boulder came from while moving slightly to the left. However, the boulder in the air seemed to follow him as the trajectory changed.

"How the hell is that possible?!"

The monsters in the sky scattered. They were running away from the boulder, saving their lives. That was how big the boulder was. It could also be called a small mountain instead of a boulder.

Seeing that he had no choice but to die, Max stopped. He had accepted his fate. No matter how far he ran, the boulder was fated to land on him. It was a forced cutscene.

"Fine, let me cut it in half! At least I die trying."

Unsheathing his sword, he tried to do the impossible.

— THIS GUY NUTS!

— Breeze: Let me cut it in half!

— We all think that we must run away, but it was useless. However, this guy plans to cut the boulder in half! INSANE!

— You only have normal equipment. What do you think you can do with it?

— ^^ must be a newbie. Look, Breeze never buys or changes his equipment!

Ignoring the chat, Max was serious about what he tried to do. At least he wanted to try it.

The boulder was coming toward him at a fast speed. It was now so close that he could hear the wind-splitting sound. In a few seconds, it would come crashing into him. It was a do or die situation.

Before that, he decided to jump and met it midair.

"Get crushed!" He shouted loudly, filled with adrenaline.

His courage was something that should be praised. Anyone else would just run and try their best to dodge it. But it was, in the end, just courage. Max had no strength to back it up.

Fortunately, the story didn't allow him to die here and send a helper.

"Move."

A low voice suddenly rang behind him, and he was pulled away. His body couldn't be moved. The next thing he knew was that he was pushed to the ground and crashed onto it with a loud thud.

Looking up, he found the culprit. It was Caesar, and the giant stood in front of him with a feral grin on his face.

"Hahahaha, we have such a reckless newbie this time. Well done, kid. But leave this one to me."

Cracking his knuckle, Caesar brought his right hand back and balled his fist. A feral grin adorned his face, making him look like a wild animal than a human.

Then, his fist blurred. All Max knew was that Caesar punched at a lightning fast speed and retracted his hand back to its position.

Nothing happened for a second, but then... a sonic boom followed suit.

Boom! Woosh!

A large shockwave was created from that one punch, sending everything flying. Max tried his best and stabbed his sword on the ground to keep himself from being blown.

His damage against Garrador paled in comparison when it came close to the damage that one punch had caused. This was just insane.

With that shockwave, the large boulder in the midair was sent back to wherever it came from. The shade it created was gone, and the blue sky replaced the brown turd that was about to crush him into a paste.

Caesar, as if everything wasn't a problem to begin with, looked over his shoulder at Max. He offered his hand and pulled him to stand up, patting his shoulder. The strength in that pat was like having a boulder crushed against him.

"Welcome to Stronghold Mercenary, kid."

With that word, the giant walked away toward the tied-up carcass and inspected it with interest. Max watched it while standing still, speechless at what just happened.

Was it possible for a human to punch a large boulder away just by a shockwave? Not to mention, did a punch create a sonic boom? Where in the universe could someone do that?

"Haha… ha… That was ridiculous." He muttered with a wry smile. "Do I have to be that strong in order to hunt a Large-Class monster? Naaah, that's inhuman!"

— We understand you… We truly do

— Caesar is the man. THE MAN!

— In Mercenary Quest, he's one of the strongest characters who successfully hunts a Colossal-Class monster. At least, that's the backstory that I read

— For your record… A Colossal-Class monster is not necessarily colossal, but its strength can crush a single nation.

— That's how ridiculous Caesar is…

— Ah… Ahhhh, I want to be bred by Caesar!

— My brother in chat! What are you saying?

— How disgusting…

[FreakingNoob has donated 200 diamonds!]

[Be like Caesar! Live like Caesar! You will rip your pants, but live like Caesar!]

"Thank you for the donation, FreakingNoob. But I think I am good with my current lifestyle. I don't want to be ripped or have that kind of inhuman strength. It must be hard to open a door without destroying it if we have that kind of strength."

Facing Max's sound argument, the chat began to question it. That made sense… Inhuman strength was just inconvenient in real life. Anything he touch would break. And controlling a huge strength would certainly be troublesome.

And so, after talking with the chat for a while, Max returned to the train. The other mercenaries had also returned with their spoil of wars, dragged behind them. All of the monsters were easily bigger than Garrador he hunted, making him question this game designer's sanity.

At that moment, a notification rang in his ears.
