Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

Chapter 141

Watching the silent swordsman’s Half-Demon Valley gameplay, there’s a question that comes to mind at least once.
What’s the main story of this game?
Is it just a game where you roam the map and kill half-demons without any real purpose?

[So what’s the main story of Half-Demon Valley?] [7]
To put it simply:

The main story of Half-Demon Valley... is that the cute thief cat Nyaru stole it! Hahaha, you guys are just little worms, so you should look at this picture of me, Nyaru!
-(A proud pose of Nyaru, the cat thief with a pouch tied to her back)
-Oh no!!
-Heat up the pot!!
-That thief cat is at it again!
-So what is the main story!?
-Don’t you think Nyaru might know?
Of course, that’s not true.
There is a main story in Half-Demon Valley.

"I’m here to return to you the Half-Demon Valley main story that Nyaru stole.
The main story is divided into two parts, and the part I’m going to introduce is Part 1."

? Half-Demon Valley Main Story Part 1
The story begins when a wandering human arrives at a valley called Half-Demon Valley, where hybrids of humans and monsters live in hiding.
Here, if you break the seal of the seer’s temple, you’ll acquire basic skills, extra weapons, recovery potions, blood ampoules, syringes, and the key item, Yoryeok Bogu (Power Orb).

If you break the lair of the sealed failed experiments inside the temple, the seer gives you a main quest to save humans from the powerful monsters that dominate Half-Demon Valley.
Following the quest, you go to a ruined fortress, where a boss-level monster knight appears, but this was actually [Spoiler], and it tells you to get help from the sage in order to hunt even stronger bosses.
The sage exists in the Daesurim that melted beyond the Hyeoldunsoo.

The sage talks a bit about [Spoiler] in a cutscene, then guides you toward the first battle with the monsters, beyond the ruined fortress.
There, you encounter the first part boss, and depending on your choice, you either see the quickest completion ending and finish the game, or proceed to Part 2.

The contents of Part 2 are written on the torn strategy page Nyaru was holding.
I hope you can defeat Nyaru and read the Part 2 strategy page."

The quest guidelines for defeating the monsters that torment the poor people of Half-Demon Valley.
This includes the sage, the enemy knight, and the swamp sage.
Half-Demon Valley certainly has a bona fide main story, a set strategy order, and flow.

Wait, who’s this Sage?
The silent swordsman hasn’t met such a person.
Damn, looks like they didn’t go there, so no quest.
Playing without a main quest, LOL.
But after the second playthrough, you don’t even need to take the quests.
This person’s still on the first playthrough.
Ah, LOL;
What’s the deal with recovery potions? Is it an HP potion?
Yep, yep.
Isn’t this crazy? Why are they playing without using HP potions!!
It’s better not to drink it, haha; it’s mixed with monster blood, so drinking it raises contamination levels.
Not drinking it and not being able to drink it are different!
LOL, right?
Why is there a blood collection device?
If you have the blood collector, you can steal the blood from boss-level monsters without killing them.
Stealing boss blood and evolving into a half-demon or monster is the only way to match the difficulty.
The silent swordsman just slaughters everything in human form without needing a blood collector.
Isn’t the blood collector unnecessary?
LOL, newbies are cute.
You’ll know when you try it yourself ^^
But why post this in the depression gallery?
You look sad because you don’t have the Part 2 strategy.
LOL?
Damn, this person is wicked.
The most frustrating thing in the world is when someone starts talking and then stops, and the second is when Nyaru steals something.
Agreed.
The silent swordsman progresses through the game in a way that is markedly different from regular streamers.
Her viewers quickly realized that her approach, when collecting information, was vastly different from typical strategies and progress paths.

So, does the silent swordsman never meet the sage or the enemy knight?
Don’t know.
Really, no one knows.
Our teacher only knows how to go straight ahead.
Isn’t she just going to go on the path right in front of her?
Then what’s in front of the junkyard?
It’s an event field, and no one knows what’s there.
It was a material gathering map where you pick up things and sell them to wandering merchants to level up your soul.
Sometimes, finding treasure feels great.
If you get a treasure, you can skip grinding, which is a big win.
What’s the point of gathering souls?
You can buy strategy items, order custom HP potions, deliver quest items to quest-givers, upgrade weapons, and strengthen characteristics, etc.
Oh, that’s actually important.
But why hasn’t the silent swordsman upgraded?
She probably doesn’t even know it exists.
LOL, don’t ever mention it.
Don’t talk about potions either, seriously, if you do, you’ll be a little...
Okay.
Even without saying a word, they were in complete agreement!
The silent swordsman’s viewers were united in mind and spirit, even outside of the broadcast.

The streaming schedule is infuriating. This is when we should torment her, or when else will we get a chance?
The ending will reveal it. Actually, there are potions and upgrade functions.
Just imagining it makes me happy. How pissed would she be when she realizes she made the game harder for herself?
Wake up from your dream, LOL. Before that, we’ll all die from frustration.
Why?
It wouldn’t be weird if it took another year to see the ending.
Ah.
Damn.
Really, level 7.
Even so, a year is an exaggeration.
It’s not really going to take a year, right?
The feeling grew more uneasy the more I thought about it.
While the viewers tried to hide their anxiety and nervousness with forced laughter, a notification popped up.

[VTuber Partner BJ]
[Silent Swordsman has started broadcasting.]
[Game - Half-Demon Valley (similar to "Simiral") ]
[Playtime - 69:51:12]
[Broadcast time - 00:00:00]

-Half-Demon Valley!!
-Finally, she’s back!!

Viewers, who had been immersed in daily life or deep into Universe SimCity, gathered from all directions like clouds.

[Current Viewers - 5800]
[Current Viewers - 9215]
[Current Viewers - 14225]

The viewers were increasing rapidly in real-time.
If this were a new streamer, they would be horrified by the situation and react with joy for more than 10 minutes, but the silent swordsman didn’t do that.

Click.

Returning to Half-Demon Valley, the silent swordsman closed her eyes and gripped her sword with one hand.
Slowly, seriously, like conducting a ritual, she moved her hand along the blade.
The sword hummed as it vibrated in response to her touch, immediately focusing all the viewers’ attention.

Whoooom.

The moment her hand left the sword, the vibration reached its peak, and the atmosphere around her shifted.

-Wow, today’s vibe is crazy.
-Feels like she’s really about to kill something.
-So much charisma.
-Sister, take me!!
-How can I not fan-girl over this?

The silent swordsman, who had returned, was brimming with charisma.
Even the sword, now a relic, seemed to anticipate the slaughter about to begin, faintly vibrating in its scabbard.

With a half-demon-like human, a half-demon-like sword, and actual demons,
One half-demon, trembling and observing, was caught in the middle of this terrifying combination. Hae Eung-eung realized something.

‘The notification window hasn’t appeared.’

The usual messages that would appear when accomplishing a challenge, showing progress, or other changes had not appeared.
It made her wonder if there was still something left to do, but her purpose had already been fulfilled.

‘I’ve already dealt with the Baekmok demon, and there are no hostile monsters or half-demons left in this area.’

The boogeyman wasn’t an enemy but a companion.
The cowardly half-demon wasn’t really a companion, but more of a pack mule.
Considering that the notification window would always appear even when there were companions in the demon world, the absence of the notification meant that something else was preventing it from showing up.

Thud.

The now heavier sword, still in its scabbard, hit the ground with a dull thud.
Hae Eung-eung recalled her fight with the Arakne and spread her energy thinly like a thread.

‘A broad detection range that spans the entire dungeon. This is how I’m supposed to use it.’

A more expansive detection ability that covers dozens of meters, not just the few meters she could previously detect.
Within the thin detection range, movement was detected.

Fwip.
Tap.

The silent swordsman leapt up, her movements skimming over the garbage heap, as she shoved aside a pile of trash, sending it flying with a loud crash.
Through the clear line of sight, tiny garbage pieces flew like shurikens, piercing the opponent’s clothes as they stumbled and screamed.

[Ahhh! Don’t hit me, I hate pain!]
“??”
[Eh? I’ve seen this human before, in the demon world!]

The reason the notification didn’t appear.
The suspicious presence.
The enemy’s identity was none other than the wandering merchant.

[Story Mode]

The silent swordsman faced the wandering merchant.
At the same time, her physical control was lost, and story mode began.

[Did you already find the Sanhassajikdo and escape from the demon world?]

Nodding.

[Incredible~! I thought it would take at least three months.]

The automatic dialogue system worked without a hitch.
The AI, which actively reflected the silent swordsman’s actions, didn’t feel out of place at all.

The AI is working overtime today.
Must be nice not to have to speak the lines.
But how did she throw the trash pile?
Probably enhanced her hand strength.
Is it common for enhancements to make you that strong?
Nah, normally when you enhance, it just makes you hit faster and get tired faster, or your durability is a bit higher but slows you down.
The silent swordsman’s strength was impressive, with no visible backlash despite her immense power.

Is the inability to speak a penalty of her ability?
That could be a possibility.
The evil deeds too?
That might be a possibility as well.
Is the streaming schedule a penalty too?
That definitely must be a penalty; otherwise, she’s just a madman!
Some viewers showed sharp analytical abilities, and despite that, story mode continued.

[You defeated the demon general and the demon queen?! Wow, that’s amazing!]
[What? The demon in the closet behind was a comrade you fought with? That’s wild~!]
[So cool! You’re amazing!]
[Even throughout the thousands of years of demon history, there’s no demon that did such an amazing thing except the demon king!]

The treasure bag she always carried was tossed somewhere,
And the wandering merchant, looking up with shining eyes, proudly held his hands together.

‘This is a little too much.’

The wandering merchant, who had been so innocent at their first meeting, now looked very uncomfortable to Hae Eung-eung.

‘The me back then and the me now are different.’

I started to play to have fun,
Then from the second time, I played to improve my internal energy.
Even when I first met the wandering merchant, it was the same, but at least back then, it wasn’t as urgent as it is now.
Back then, I prioritized raising my martial arts realm in real life.

But now, it’s different.
I’m not the same innocent silent swordsman I was then.

It’s no longer just about my own internal energy.
I need to gather a lot of internal energy to seal Ayoung’s attribute energy and carve the uterine tattoo.
The more time passes, the more Ayoung will suffer from the growing pleasures that will torment her.

[What were you doing suspiciously here?]
[Eh, as a good merchant, I can’t miss a good item! I ran here when I sensed the disappearance of the Baekmok demon’s presence. This place is like a treasure trove.]

The proud, green-horned goblin demon, the wandering merchant.

[By the way... Hey, human. Do you remember the promise from before?]
[The one where I was supposed to bring the item for my sibling’s treatment.]
[The Mirror of the Clear Mirror. Did you bring it?]

?Interaction Options?
[When asked by the wandering merchant... you can choose:]

Pretend to have forgotten.
Lie and say you couldn’t find it.
Don’t give the Mirror of the Clear Mirror.
Give the Mirror of the Clear Mirror.
Break the Mirror of the Clear Mirror.
She was supposed to return the mirror.
If it weren’t for the fact that this wasn’t happening in real life, she would’ve gladly handed it over.
But, reflecting her shaken emotions, an option that tested her appeared.

‘Absorbing the energy of a demon is extremely dangerous. Because of the circumstances, or due to unavoidable reasons, I might not filter the energy properly.’

If such impurities are absorbed into her body,
If they affect her real body,
It would lead to an enormous disaster.
If a half-demon appears in real life,
If a demon appears in real life,
If it turns into a monster, no longer even human,
If she becomes something like the Inmyeon Jiju or Arakne,
A body that can no longer live with humans.

‘The Mirror of the Clear Mirror is necessary for me too.’

The Mirror of the Clear Mirror has the ability to purify.
It’s necessary to stabilize demons or half-demons whose blood is corrupted, and it’s a relic needed by the wandering merchant’s sibling.
At the same time, it can be used to return corrupted humans to their original state.
A safeguard to reverse a potentially ominous future and restore the pure human form.

‘It’s been decided.’

She leaned toward one additional option in her heart.
Hae Eung-eung made her decision.
