Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 83
***
I pressed the notification.
A wave of golden light erupted so significantly that it obscured my view.
Ding ding ding!!
And the congratulatory sound I just heard echoed loudly in my ears once more.
*
——
‘Dwarf’s Ring’ obtained.
——

I was curious about what kind of item could cause such a commotion, so I pulled it out directly from my inventory.
A ring with a peculiarly red hue.
The luxuriously adorned ruby emitted a brilliant light.
Its name is ‘Dwarf’s Ring’, and it had an exceptionally unique appearance.
I hadn’t checked the detailed options yet, but it clearly didn’t seem like an ordinary item.
So, I asked.
“Is this a good item, everyone?”
[???????]
[?????]
[??????????]
[Did you really eat that???]
[Wow, d*mn, the effects in-game are on a whole different level with the Dwarf’s Ring]
[Treasure impact, wow]
[Is the Dwarf’s Ring for real??]
[LMAO]
[Wait, it’s only been 30 minutes since Lin started farming, lol]
[Wow, this is really life-changing, d*mn]
[I get to see someone actually loot it, LOL]
[Lin’s lottery luck is gone now, goodbye]
[Is the operator also a Lin fan?]
[No way, are they actually watching the broadcast? How could that drop?]
[I’m so envious that I can’t even type in the chat, d*mn it, ban me or not, d*mn!!]
The chat was rapidly rising and seemed about to explode.
Seeing that, I could already guess its value without asking further.
It was probably an item that appeared with an extremely slim chance.
An item that could be called a form of “treasure,” I assumed.
So, I unfolded the details to see information about the Dwarf’s Ring.
*
——
Dwarf’s Ring.
Grade: Treasure.
– Description: One of the eleven treasures that appear with an extremely low probability in Another World. It is known to assist in stamina regeneration just by having it in your inventory without equipping it—a ruby ring.
If sold at a shop, you could earn a staggering amount of silver coins. Alternatively, if gifted to a specific NPC, it enables the special quest ‘Truth of Ailanthus’.
– Available for sale only at the ‘Large City Jeweler’.
– Selling Price: 50 million silver coins.
– Enormous fees apply when registering at the auction house.

As I checked the ring, I found my mouth agape unintentionally.
A windfall I had never expected.
And it was indeed a ‘treasure’ grade item.
Considering the description mentioned it as one of the eleven treasures, there must be ten similar items to the ‘Dwarf’s Ring,’ and I was astonished at the idea that there are ten items of such value.
I didn’t know who the specific NPC was, but there was a special quest if I gave a gift, and simply selling it at the city jeweler would net me 50 million silver coins.
Even though selling at the auction house incurs a significant fee, I thought it might sell for even more than the 50 million silver coins I’d get from the city jeweler.
While thinking of that, a grin escaped Serin’s lips.
“Really. It seems people need to live kindly. Look at this. Good luck just rolls in, right?”
[Main]
[Shut up]
[Small]
[LOL]
[Lin is really on point today, lol]
[What’s the connection between the Dwarf solo player and living kindly, LOL?]
[I also want to solo as a Dwarf, aah]
[Lin gets to loot items that those who have been rotten in the Dwarf cave for a year can’t even see within 20 minutes, LOL]
[Main]
[Honestly, I feel like some people are just born lucky, for real]
[What the hell is life]
[Small]
[I will also live kindly from today, so give me that Dwarf’s Ring, d*mn]
[LMAO]
My words ignited the chat like pouring oil on a burning house.
But I didn’t want to say anything in that chat.
In fact, I secretly hoped it would burn even more.
Maybe because I hadn’t expected anything, I felt even better.
While the results achieved through efforts are certainly gratifying, actually receiving a substantial reward without effort is quite uplifting too.
And Serin knew this, having experienced both in the Black Ark world.
Right now, I was experiencing the latter.
Unintentional great luck.
And the feeling of obtaining an item that could truly be called a jackpot was even more delightful.
In fact, I hadn’t slept well compared to usual today, so I had been unknowingly tired throughout the broadcast, but this overwhelming sense of happiness seemed to compensate for everything.
“I’m retracting what I said earlier about telling the viewers not to solo. Actually, isn’t it an immense advantage to get a 200% item drop rate if you do solo?”
[I]
[Lock]
[LMAO, looking for Dwarf party]
[Lock]
[Aah, I’m so envious I can’t even speak]
[LMAO, if my specs were good, I’d go to the Dwarf cave right away]
[Main]
[How can you solo the Dwarf cave? Even just watching the broadcast, you can feel how brutal the mob patterns are]
[I]
[Is it for real that when I search the auction house for the Dwarf’s Ring, there are no listings? LOL?]
[Small]
[Rankers and pros are starved for stamina recovery, that’s an item you can’t buy even with money, LOL]
[It really feels like the Another World operator is watching Lin’s broadcast, crazy]
[For real though, there must be an actual operator among the 30,000 viewers]
And perhaps because the news of my looting the Dwarf’s Ring had spread to famous communities, the viewer count was rapidly increasing from 20,000.
I sat down on a rock in the surrounding cave while watching the chat, wondering how much time had passed, and the viewers were quickly increasing by thousands in mere moments.
Upon confirming that, I sat down on a rock in the nearby cave.
Plop.
Normally, it would have been a ghastly scene, with blown-off heads or the pierced bodies of Dwarves adorning the surroundings, but they appeared as a mosaic, making it look unnatural.
‘…After chatting a bit, I think I’ll log off today like this.’
Unless a Dwarf comes looking for me where I am.
Right now, the desire to swing my Crescent Moon Blade or explore the cave to hunt Dwarves had completely vanished.
It wasn’t just an ordinary item; it was an item explicitly labeled as a ‘treasure’ in the description, yet I didn’t feel the urge to hunt anymore.
To be honest.
I simply wanted to brag.
I wanted to engage in what is commonly referred to as ‘deception’ in front of the more than 20,000 viewers.
‘No way, how can I hold this back?’
If you looted a treasure, you should brag about it.
So, to clear up a small curiosity and to boast a bit awkwardly, I asked.
“Everyone, this is my first time looting a treasure item, but do items like the Dwarf’s Ring usually get sold at shops?”
[No]
[No]
[Are you kidding? Why would you sell that]
[Aren’t you level 65? LOL]
[Why would you sell that]
[Isn’t Lin aiming for rankers? Then just keep it]
[People say the Dwarf’s Ring’s stamina recovery option is phenomenal for pros and rankers]
[In case of extreme urgency, some may sell it, but if you’re not going to play Another World just for a day or two, it’s absolutely better to keep it]
[Wow, but if you sell that, how much would it be now?]
[According to recent transactions, it seems to pass 1 billion silver coins, but since there are no listings, it might be more expensive?]
[Did Lin really loot the Dwarf’s Ring?]
[It applies to everything, hunting and the arena, so it’s ridiculously OP]
[For real, just having it in your inventory is among the most absurdly overpowered things]
[Lin’s expression seems especially irritating today]
[LMAO, I really want to smack you]
[I came because I heard someone looted a Dwarf Ring, is that for real??]
Comments expressing disbelief occasionally appeared, prompting me to take out the Dwarf’s Ring from my inventory again.
“It seems many people have come after hearing the rumors. But I actually looted it. The Dwarf’s Ring.”
The entire ring was dyed a peculiar red. And at its end, a beautiful, bl**d-red ruby decorated it, crowning its magnificence.
The more I looked at it, the more enchanting it became.
Honestly, the fact that it was simply labeled as a ‘treasure’ item added to its allure.
Suddenly!
A sound resembling an arrow’s release echoed, and instinctively, I withdrew my hand that was holding the ring.
Swish!
A blue arrow streaked past the hand that gripped the ring narrowly.
With my hand gripping the Crescent Moon Blade tightening, I immediately rose, feeling a chill run down my spine.
‘…They were clearly targeting the ring.’
I wondered if it was possible to drop or lose an item that had already been obtained, causing my heart to sink, but before that, I first placed the Dwarf’s Ring back into my inventory.
Ding!
Ding!
Repeated alarm-like sounds rang out, and a hologram appeared.
[Outlaw. ‘Give me an Archer buff’ approaches you.]
“d*mn, their reaction speed is incredibly fast.”
A voice colored with deep annoyance reached me from a short distance, but I couldn’t gauge the exact location.
How did the opponent know my position to attack, and how did they pinpoint my channel and location out of over a hundred channels? I couldn’t comprehend it.
But no matter, it didn’t matter if I understood that or not.
What was important was that someone had attacked me, and they ruined my good mood.
Focused on searching the surroundings for the distinctive red border of the outlaw while unleashing my technique, I prepared to launch a projectile.
—— Explosive Drill.
The swiftly fired crimson projectile struck the cave wall and detonated with a loud bang.
Kaboom!
And at that moment, I heard the sound of little footsteps.
Realizing that, I leaped toward that sound without a moment’s hesitation.
Screeeech!
My hand gripping the Crescent Moon Blade pulled the string with all my might, causing it to stretch to its limit, letting out a scream-like, eerie sound.
And in that moment.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, a giant blue mass illuminated the cave.
Serin’s lips curled upward.
I hadn’t expected the opponent to reveal themselves so easily.
