Chapter 353

Every three days at 7 PM, there’s a broadcast that draws a crowd.

Taker · Live – 48231

– Announcement of Taker Server 1.37 Patch Changes.

It was Taker’s broadcast.

Although Taker’s broadcasts usually attract many viewers, today’s numbers were unusually high.

The interest in the Taker Server had spiked. For viewers who enjoy watching the server, the patch notes released every three days are not just important; they’re a must-check.

They need to pass on the key changes to the streamer while stirring up discussion in the community. This time, it’s all about the “new patch” or “trash patch” debates.

As a result, Taker was treated almost like the game director, Oh Hong-kyun.

Depending on the direction of the patches he discusses, he could either be lauded or condemned by countless individuals. It’s just like a user meeting held by a game company.

[50,000 viewers ㄷㄷㄷ This broadcast is going to explode]
[The fishing is too OP; please normalize it a bit]
[New gods are here]
[Will there be elements that can be bought with money?]
[The swordmaster hidden job is too lame lol]
[Seriously, it’s way too weak]
[I think the issue isn’t the job, but the pilot]
[Taker’s patch notes are coming]
[So when’s the dragon coming out lol]
[Is the dragon going to be end content already?]
[Make guild wars happen too]

In front of the viewers who were throwing out their opinions like it was a chaotic flea market, Taker appeared solemnly like a chief justice.

“Alright, everyone, quiet down. I’m going to announce the patch notes. Manager, please activate slow mode in the chat, and kick anyone who uses harsh insults or spams.”

Taker had already done this patch note announcement broadcast over five times. Therefore, the viewers knew what kind of flow to expect.

Taker didn’t bother to keep the viewers waiting. He usually prioritizes announcing the massive changes that would directly affect the server over the trivial ones.

His style of announcing the big changes first is why the viewers hold his patch note broadcast in high regard.

“Okay, so we’ve slightly nerfed fishing. It definitely seemed more efficient than farming or mining. But if we tweak it too much, the fishermen might end up losing out, so we made just a small adjustment.”

[Fishermen gone ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ]
[Fishing rod click spacebar click and the fishermen have been living the good life]
[Yeah, but fishermen are still the kings]
[Fishermen aren’t that OP; it’s so unfair how they frame them like that]
[Is this patch mainly about the nerf for fishermen?]
Is the patch mainly about the fisher nerf?

In that sense, the Taker’s patch notes didn’t seem to have any major changes.

He first reported the news about nerfing the fisher, so the watching viewers were thinking that’s the biggest change, huh?

However, breaking their expectations, towards the end of the roundtable meeting, Taker said something significant.

“And the biggest change is… a raid boss will appear. It’s the boss that everyone enjoying the Taker server has been waiting for.”

[??? Raid boss?]

[You’re saying that at the end?]

[So what’s the boss?]

[Did the dragon spawn?]

[Aah… is it time to earn the Dragon Slayer title?]

[The casino Boss watching in horror from the broadcast.]

“The boss’s location is not revealed. Like a special boss, you’ll need to explore to find its location.”

Along with the word ‘exploration,’ Taker switches the screen.

Snowy mountains, volcanic areas, hell, dense forests. All kinds of regions from the Taker server appear and disappear randomly.

“May glory be upon those who defeat the boss. So, good luck to everyone.”

Just like any other patch note broadcast, Taker said his piece and ended the broadcast, ignoring the excited viewers’ chats.

[Did the dragon spawn??]

(Taker shows the Taker server map, with a dragon symbol floating in one corner.)

Did it really spawn?

– It’s really a dragon, lol.

– I thought it would take another two weeks to appear.

– Fantasy means dragons, yeah, this is what I’ve been waiting for.

– Kayak, liquidate the casino right now and go find that dragon.

Is Kayak really going to catch the dragon?

– They did say they would catch it.

– Surprisingly, the casino was actually saving up to buy equipment to catch the dragon.

– Is there really a need to go through all that trouble for the dragon when you’re already living large as a casino boss?

– Well, if they’re going to die anyway, why go?

– Why are you so defensive? I was just sharing my thoughts.

– There should be at least one target in the server.

– That’s what romance is for…

[Reasons why the Taker server is romantic...]

They treat primary producers like farmers, fishers, and miners well.

The management works day and night, barely sleeping to fix bugs.

Every three days there’s a massive patch to keep the content flowing.

When backroom gossip and scandals get out of hand, they quickly make smart decisions to send in the relief pitcher.
With a reckless judgment, a relief pitcher is brought in.

Even men can work at a maid café—this server is that open-minded and liberal!

(Taker sits arrogantly in a suit)

I just praise this all-time great server, truly the GOAT!

-Gunhee looks great in a suit, must be because he’s tall.

-There’s honestly no one like him among the server hosts.

Both Thunder Village and servers where Taker is the host at least hit average levels.

That person is responsible enough not to neglect the server.

For real, it seems like he doesn’t even sleep while working.

Must be cleaning up after the big mess left by the prince, lol.

Bringing Kayak in right away was seriously a good decision, even seeing it again.

-I get it all, but what’s with the maid café? There are men in maid cafés?

That was a legendary broadcast, and you didn’t see it?!

-Kim Jun got bankrupt and ended up in a maid café, lol.

He even wore a maid outfit as a punishment before, so he streamed in it all day, haha.

The other maids were so funny they couldn’t react.

Kayak just sent them to the maid café when there was no space at the horse racing track and block factory, lol.

Jun doesn’t look like it, but he dances really well…

Cross-dressing is the most manly thing a man can do, Kim Jun is the manliest of men.

Honestly, it was a bit cringe to watch.

[But Kayak, are you really thinking of catching a dragon?]

While the others were preparing thoroughly and making sure their equipment was maxed out, this person only ran a casino.

If you were serious about catching a dragon, shouldn’t you have prepared everything in advance?

-Kayak doesn’t need to do that; she’s strong regardless.

For real, lol.

Equipment is for the weak to rely on…

Oh, lol, Kayak could crush everything bare-handed, haha.

But for real, her skills are top-notch, even if her gear is a bit lacking, she could still catch one.

Is her physical condition good in Minecraft too?

From what I saw last time, she dodged well and hit back hard.

-Haven’t you seen any dramas or movies? People in positions like casino owners tend to fight well, lol.

You need to have strength to deal in water sports.

Ex-gangsters, retired soldiers, wealthy family members…

But saying you catch dragons in games, what’s with the movie and drama references?

I’m just saying that.

Kayak is meticulous, but you’re telling me she’s not prepared to catch a dragon?

*

-The ground shakes violently.

-From afar, you can hear a sound that seems to echo from the sky.

-You feel an inescapable fate approaching.

[What an amazing setup!]

[Romance is off the charts]

[Kayak, the dragon has appeared!]

[Let’s go catch the dragon!]

[It’s time for an adventure, broadcast host!]

[It’s time to become a ‘Dragon Slayer’, Kayak]

[Are you fully prepared??]
I didn’t do it. I didn’t prepare anything at all.

“Gaaah…!”

Realizing the situation, I started rolling around in the room.

What was I thinking not preparing anything? We were supposed to catch a dragon. I definitely started gathering money and opened the casino for that reason.

I had gotten so caught up in making money and playing the boss, that the original goal had completely slipped away.

[No way, you didn’t prepare?]
[Come on, there’s no way the great Kayak wouldn’t have prepared for this lol]
[Where’s the romantic Kayak who said they’d catch a dragon? Now they’re a miser obsessed with money….]
[WTF, seriously?]
[The acting is on point]

“Everyone, that’s…”

Just when my viewers, who were inspired by my romance, were about to unleash their anger at me.

“Boss! We have a problem! Big problem!”

“Huh?”

“Please come down for a second!”

An-sae, who was below, called me in a frantic voice.

I left the angry viewers behind and moved forward.

“An-sae, what’s this big problem…?”

“Please open this box, it won’t budge.”

“A box?”

For an urgent call, this was quite a dull request.

Indeed, there was a box right in front of me. It contained various items and goods needed for running the casino, but apparently, it wouldn’t open.

I clicked on the box at An-sae’s request. Contrary to the claim that it wouldn’t open, it opened easily.

“An-sae, this is…”

What was inside was equipment. Equipment for catching a dragon.

These were the things I hadn’t managed to prepare, eagerly waiting for their owner inside the box.

Turning around in confusion, An-sae bowed their head.

“It’s time to set off, General.”

“Ah…”

With a joyful heart, I started putting on the equipment that was inside the box.

“This cool and heavy sensation… Thank you, An-sae.”

“It’s nothing, General.”

[You’ve returned, Kayak!]
[The great Kayak makes an entrance ㄷㄷㄷ]
[Our Broadcast Host wouldn’t have not prepared, right lol]
[Hmm… didn’t An-sae prepare everything?]
[All the money given to An-sae came straight from Kayak’s pocket, huh ㅇㅇ]

“It’s time to return as a dragon slayer….”

It was time to let go of titles like the ruler of the back alley, Queen of the Shadows, and the Dark Figure of the Casino.
