Leinster...Leinster started to search for the remaining oil on the two lamps and immediately found two tiny cans.
"Yahoo~ Another good haul!" Leinster immediately whistled as he pocketed the two cans of oil.
Then, he turned to look at the leading shopkeeper and wagged his open palm.
"Hello? My friend and I bought your products. Where are our free oils?"
The leading shopkeeper's temples throbbed and he was about to pounce on Leinster but reigned himself in at the last minute.
No, no, he can't kill this bastard. It's against the rules!
The leading shopkeeper could only signal the other shopkeepers to fetch free oils and immediately tossed it to Leinster, not caring whether he could catch it or not.
"Oops! It almost fell— luckily I caught it, hehe."
Hehe, your a*s!
Leinster was blissfully unaware of the shopkeeper's thoughts and just casually gave two oil cans to Otomen Lover, dividing their spoils evenly.
"Here, this is your share."
"H-huh? Thank you, thank you..."
Otomen Lover thanked Leinster profusely as Leinster draped his beloved red tongue robe around his body.
Then, under the hateful glare of the shopkeepers around, Leinster put on the Hoe Hoe watch on his wrist with a click.
?
The hell?
Otomen Lover almost screamed.
"W-what are you doing?? Didn't you see that watch— "
Is a problem...
Huh?
Nothing happened.
Leinster remained the same, unharmed even the slightest.
Otomen Lover and the audiences all had question marks above their heads.
Is God fair— are the monsters playing favorites?
Seeing Otomen Lover's confused look, Leinster kindly explained.
"All new watches with no faces or horrifying faces will suck up your life force, but those with smiling faces won't."
Because they already had their fill and would not suck on more lifespan until they needed it.
Until then, this watch would definitely be a good item.
Why shouldn't he wear it?
Let this enemy work for him even after they die!
Otomen Lover was so dumbfounded that she went speechless.
She could only watch as Leinster demanded the shopkeeper to give him a box and a nice shopping bag.
"This is a luxury item, right? C'mon, give me the packages!"
The leading shopkeeper once again tossed the box and the shopping bag straight into Leinster's head.
Leinster immediately caught the bag and stuffed his hauls— two eyes and two ears into the shopping bag.
"Okay, now we can go!" Leinster was satisfied and immediately sauntered away from the store, he looked as if he was strolling his own shop.
"A-ah! Wait for me!"
Behind Leinster, Otomen Lover quickly followed, the sound of her heels echoing throughout the store.
As the dim light went away, in the darkness, the leading shopkeeper watched with a stiff smile on his face before he suddenly growled at the other shopkeepers.
"Fetch me...salt!"
The corpse-like shopkeepers carefully brought salt packaged in a plastic bag and under their boss' urging look, they sprinkled the salt around the shop's entrance.
Shoo! Shooo! Never go back to their store, you customer who is worse than a ghost!!
The audience saw this scene and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[Damn formidable. Even the ghosts, who are afraid of salt, use salt to keep Leinster away!!]
[A sprinkle of salt can keep Leinster away!]
[Keep Leinster away × 1]
[Keep him away × 2]
This wave of strange tactics immediately gathered another surge of audience in the country.
Almost all of them rushed to enter the "Midnight Hunting Spree" livestream and many decisively entered Leinster's Livestream room—
Only to see the confusing spam comments.
New audience: …? What did we miss?
Amidst the spam comments about keeping a certain alien away from their door steps, Leinster and Otomen Lover walked past the luxury watch store and crossed the entire luxury store's section, heading towards the second floor.
Instead of using an elevator, Leinster and Otomen Lover, who had a trauma related to the elevator, chose an escalator instead.
But when they passed through the last store, an eye-catching jewelry store with dim red lightning, a system panel suddenly popped up in front of Leinster.
DING! [Dear challengers, the Live Challenge and the Gift options are now open!]
The veteran challengers who had entered League 3 several times immediately clicked their tongues.
There is it, the speciality of official league starting from league 3 onwards—
Live Challenges and Gifts!
No sooner than the announcement dropped, a new system panel popped up with a ring.
DING! [Audience "Leinster Slayer" gave you a Live Challenge!]
[Warning! This is a forced Live Challenge! The challenger can't refuse it!]
Leinster almost dropped his shopping bag along with his swaying oil lamp.
What? Live Challenge?
What kind of new trouble is this?
Leinster's sharp intuition was already sending him alarm bells.
Indeed, in line with Leinster's bad premonition, a chat box appeared in front of Leinster's eyes.
[Leinster Slayer's Challenge:
Steal a piece of jewelry without getting caught]
[Mission reward: 100 Life Votes]
[Mission failure: Death]
....the hell!!
Upon seeing the pop-up channel that other audiences could see as well, [Leinster Slayer] immediately bombarded the comment section.
[Leinster Slayer:
Hahahaha! Finally! The Live Challenge option is here! It's not a waste for me to pay a whole 1000 Life Vote to buy a forced Live Challenge!]
Just from this comment alone, one could see how much Leinster Slayer was obsessed with Leinster, wishing him dead with every single step!
Leinster's tiny, fragile heart broke into pieces as he murmured in a dejected voice.
"Sigh....why are you guys so cruel, wanting to see me dead every single second...can't we all be civilized bipe— human beings?"
Though he didn't need to be civilized because he wasn't a human being! Hehe.
No matter how Leinster tried to dilly dally, the Live Challenge panel stubbornly blocked his vision with a huge countdown in red and blue.
[Countdown to clear the mission: 00:01:00]
Leinster's irritated nerf from his Emo Market's side effect instantly flared up.
"Ah! Fuck!! What kind of heartless monster gave only one minute to complete the challenge??"
This Leinster Slayer really wanted him dead!!
Leinster cursed a few times but ultimately, he rushed towards the jewelry store, followed by the bewildered Otomen Lover tailing behind him.
The female shopkeeper in the store saw Leinster's figure and was about to smile stiffly when the young man bolted like an arrow, leaving only a gust of wind.
Swoosh!
"Shopkeeper! Show me a ruby!"
[Live Challenge Countdown:
00:00:58]
