Chapter 178
Lee Shin’s broadcast has a unique culture.
First: don’t expect reactions.
Whether someone donates 1,000 won or 10 million won, Lee Shin’s reaction is the same: “I’ll use it well~” That’s it. If you’re unlucky, you might not even see that.
Some viewers complain that the broadcast feels insincere, but the gentle Dragon fans explain politely:
: That’s LeeDo.
Е́ n ŭ m̊ ã. і d̊
: Yep, Woongjin-dan, haha.
: ……You’re a spy, aren’t you??

Second: organize your questions.
Once the real-time viewers exceed 500,000, the chat is hell. If questions aren’t consolidated, people won’t hear the answers they want.
Their CEO is too kind and answers everything but time is limited and there’s a lot to cover, so questions must be organized.
Lastly, this is fun…
Е́ nu m̂а̃
Third: watch the outfit.
You might think, “Outfit? Why?” But Lee Shin is serious about concept styling. What he wears sets the “spice level” of the broadcast.
For example, if he’s in casual sweats and slightly damp hair, it’s a “gentle Lee Shin” day.
If he’s in a T-shirt and slacks, looking effortlessly stylish, it’s “rookie Lee Shin.”

The Scoville index rises according to he-me-ko. At this moment…
“Unbelievable. How can people be so careless? It’s obvious, isn’t it??”
Е̃ num ȧ .і̆ d
Shirt, suit, fully accessorized with watch, radiant skin, and naturally damp flowing hair.
From head to toe, a professional’s skill was apparent.
: Heeung, who’s the he-me-ko… award them…
: Ah, just watching is a blessing…
: Tore the damage meter apart, wow;;
: Order chicken! Haha, today’s broadcast is guaranteed fun, lololol

Everyone was done for.
Combat power fully charged after a long time. To fill the lacking content, no one could stop Lee Shin’s mouth today!
“Ha… sorry, fellow CEOs, I’m so frustrated. Where did we leave off? The Office? Right, the Office’s direction. Let’s continue.”
“To explain this, we first need to look at the revenue structure of the League.”
Suddenly, revenue structure? No one questioned it.
Lee Shin always teaches in the easiest way possible.
W̃ ѐ b̆ńоvẽ l Еñ ů m̆a
“Everyone knows astronomical sums of money move in the Guild War League, right? Haha? Several trillion? Ridiculous. Whatever you imagine, it’s more than that.”
“This astronomical funding is first taken entirely by the ‘Guild War Office.’ Then it’s aggregated and distributed to broadcasting stations and guilds.”

No exceptions. Even the season ticket revenue between broadcasting stations and guilds first goes through the Office.
It was a strong will to stand in a supra-legal position regarding the League, which might seem like an unreasonable dictatorship. In fact, the chat was filled with messages saying the Office was getting greedy.
Then Lee Shin said something shocking:
“Would you believe me if I said this Office doesn’t actually make much money?”
W ӗ bn о̂ v е̌ľ Ӗ n̆ ǔm̆ a
It was true.
The Office earns far less than expected. Almost like receiving only a base salary relative to the work done.
“The costs of producing and managing Popper Observers, managing gates, operating the competitions… they’re no small matter. And how many leagues are there per country? Usually five: 5, 4, 3, 2, Major.”
“Just the leagues alone cost this much. Add in equipment and personnel costs, and how much funding is drained? It’s amazing they don’t lose money as managers.”

To put it bluntly, lower leagues are almost a loss to the Office. In small-market countries, even Major leagues sometimes run deficits.
Yet, the Office continuously holds leagues and gives opportunities to lower leagues, like a giving tree.
Еń ůḿ а. іd
“Why? If they were greedy, they could accumulate massive wealth. There’s no other market like this, right? Even a supra-legal company could emerge.”
“Yet they maintain the current stance, keeping the league system even at a personal loss.”
“Why??”
Because of the “noble will” they protect.
“‘Free humanity from the threat of the Gates.’ The last words of Jamal Popper, founder of the Guild War League. Yes, the Office was established to realize this noble value and has maintained it ever since.”
Lee Shin personally liked this story.

Those striving to fulfill the vision of a pioneer—how romantic is that?
The chat reflected the awe:
: They gave up greed to preserve the founder’s will…
: Wow, so romantic…
: I criticized the Office a lot, but now I shouldn’t;;
: Me too, haha. I said they were greedy, should erase that.
Е̂.n u.mа̀.їd̄
Few knew this story, maybe even some Office staff didn’t.
Yet it was undeniable. A fact guaranteed by Lee Shin, the sole truth of this world.

“That’s why I’m pissed off!”
: ??
: Suddenly?!
“Think about it. The Office suffers losses to protect this noble will, but what are the guilds and hunters doing??”
Ẇ ѐ b̌n̈ ǒ v̆еl Еn ūḿ а̂

: ??!!
Every year, guild revenue grew.
Hunter value? Needless to say, skyrocketing year by year—tens of billions now trivial.

Yet strangely, the Office barely breaks even while their wallets get thicker.
“The League was founded to save humanity from the Gates. To popularize hunters and strengthen them to conquer more Gates.”
Е̃ ṅ um.ӓ .і d̆
“But? Are hunters going to Gates these days? Are guilds forming raids? No! Even in the off-season, any guild going to dangerous Gates? None!”
It was a fact. Except for Mir Guild, no major guild attempted unauthorized Gates in Korea.
“The Office is justified in being angry. Tuition, living expenses, two-room apartments, allowances—they gave it all, yet the kids skip studying and just shake their butts?
And the Office works tirelessly?”
It’s infuriating.
And this competitive raid was the result of that frustration.

“Suspicious as hell. Their value increases every day, but are their skills truly rising in proportion? So we dropped them for a taste test.”
And, as expected:
“Hahaha, it was a mess. Forgetting that Gate difficulty scales with participants, fine. Pros shouldn’t forget, but fine. No remaining info.”
“Want to look at something else? Exactly the same as normal raids. Our analysis team says 10 years ago, 5 years ago, now—90% synchronization. Nothing’s changed.”
Even more striking: dealing with emergencies.
“They panic over a simple steal. Anyone here raid in a pro raid? Steals happen all the time. Seat fights, steals—normal. But the pros acted like fools.”
Ěn_ŭ ḿа̌
“Pros? People paid to play. That’s their job, yet they panic! Well, even the rankers lost it. My face was burning.”
Lee Shin claimed the guild was at fault.

“These guys don’t aim to strengthen hunters’ skills! They only grow value: transfer fees, salaries, revenue, marketability. Does that make sense?”
“What’s the most common complaint I heard climbing here? ‘You’re training entertainers, not hunters. Running an entertainment, not a guild.’ But now? Who’s the entertainment? Who’s the entertainer?”
“Ah, I’m fuming. I’ll get a drink.”
Just as Sanwang couldn’t tolerate someone insulting a match, Lee Shin could not tolerate someone belittling the world he loved.
Еnů ṁ а̂
Furious, he ripped off his suit and stood up. Meanwhile, the chat was chaotic.
: Look at his red neck, he’s really angry;;
: Active CEO blaming hunters and the whole guild? Hah.
: That’s Lee Shin, no compromise attitude.

: But the ranker hasn’t recovered yet, right?
: Yup, amazing with the sword, but patience is tiny, haha.
Е n u m̈â
: True, but this will be controversial, lol.
: He’s not wrong. A top CEO criticizing is fair. Right?!
: It’s fine^^ Let him speak.
: God Lee, a million dragon fans behind you!
: Dragon fans: “Used to being the villain…”
“What’s used to it?”

Returning to his seat, downing a soda in one shot, Lee Shin continued:
“We mustn’t forget. The Office isn’t here to fatten guilds or hunters. Their will has always been, and always will be, the ‘Gates.’”
Through the League, better infrastructure is built, stronger hunters are raised through competition.
Those hunters manage the Gates.
This was the virtuous cycle the Office envisioned for the League—but it has now stalled.
Having confirmed that hunter value and skill no longer correlate through this competitive raid, the Office will never remain idle.

“Looking ahead, next season they might increase the number of competitive raids. They may require off-season unauthorized Gate raids. Or add one more ticket for the top-league entrants.”
The chat window was plastered with ‘??’.

Not because anyone didn’t understand—it was because the news was so shocking that they were at a loss.
Sure, adding more Competition Raid Battles was conceivable… but making off-season unapproved gate clears mandatory, or forcing competition through top-league tickets, seemed utterly absurd.
They wanted to focus on the present rather than headache-inducing future problems.

“So, CEO, are you saying that guilds now need to manage their hunters and improve their skills?”
Lee Shin smiled wryly at the question about current guilds.
“Hmm… well… as I said before, it’s already too late. What good is looking at the textbook when the exam is tomorrow?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
When the term Competition Raid Battle was first mentioned, guilds should have immediately inspected their squads—just like Lee Shin and Mir Guild did.
“That’s why I said it was pathetic. A guild CEO should react sensitively to the market they’re in, but they just recruited a few healers and called it a day. That’s complacency.”
Е nům̌ā . їd̆
“Huh? Guilds that didn’t recruit healers? Everyone, I’m talking about the guilds themselves. Not the raid party.”
So look at the result of failing to actively inspect the squads.
In less than two months, guilds were forced to bear burdens unimaginable in the past.
Not only were stamina issues a problem, but lack of talent limited their strategic options. The arrival of the Competition Raid Battle only added a heavy blow to already stressed guilds.
“A single mistake and even top-tier guilds can slip. A certain guild proved that, right? This is a match that demands maximum effort.”
And yet, someone poured poison into this crucial match.

Who? Ten Thousand King!
“Our great Ten Thousand King personally spread a most excellent poison. Who could have known that he would mob the enemies so aggressively?”
“He truly became a dark hero sacrificing himself for the sake of league competition. Kuuuh, applause!!”
Even if Mir Guild had achieved first place in guild value, in public perception the symbol of the Korean League was still Kirin Guild.
And the Kirin Guild used such a harsh method?
Everyone would follow. The limit had been broken.

“So then…??”
“The schedule is tight, stamina is low, competition is fierce. In an environment where if you don’t take someone down, you’re guaranteed to fall, the league’s leading representative released poison? Then there’s only one possible outcome.”
Lee Shin grinned.
“Most likely…”

Competition Raid Battle, Squad 3.

A man stood atop a pile of orc corpses, letting out a long breath.
“Ha…I’m tired.”
Ẁ e_b ṅ ŏ v̌ еĺ Еnu ṁ_а
About 300 orcs.
Normally an easy number, yet the man was already gasping.
He wasn’t alone; the entire Raid Team’s movements were noticeably sluggish.
It was only the beginning, and already this—so the squad leader approached him.
“Captain, how about taking a break today?”
“Already…? Is my condition that bad?”

“The others too… the main members for the competition aren’t performing. You know they barely get a day off, right?”
“Tsk. I’ll have to tell the CEO. From now on, we must send two teams before the competition.”
Who could have predicted why Mir Guild sent two teams?
The genius CEO wasn’t wrong. Even following him halfway, this wouldn’t have happened…
The man clicked his tongue and was about to order a retreat.
“Squad Leader, retreat… huh??”
Е̄ nù m ǎ .î d
But he couldn’t finish because a foreboding dust cloud appeared beyond the horizon.
From front, back, right, left, all directions, they surged forward.

Soon came a grotesque roar as the ground trembled underfoot.
And what emerged…
Orcs. A fully armed orc army.
“What… how?”
Ẽ nu m̆ а.і̇ d̆_
“Captain, those guys!!”
Where the squad leader pointed, a black werewolf appeared. It herded the orcs and vanished into the shadows.
What could it be? There was only one answer.
“Haemu Guild, you sons of bitches!!”

In that instant, a four-digit orc army engulfed the guild.
