Polluted Zone Live: The Useless Guide Stole the Show!

Summer casually walked away from Team 8. However, she still had no idea what kind of dangers were hiding inside this Polluted Zone, so she was not foolish enough to walk straight down the middle of the road.

Instead, she stayed close to the old buildings and moved through their shadows.

As she walked, her attention quickly shifted toward something far more important.

[Credits: 10,000]

Summer’s expression immediately turned sour again.

The original body was not only weak. She was also poor.

Fortunately, BeastNet provided several ways for Guides and Sentinels to earn credits during Polluted Zone missions, and one of the most popular methods was livestreaming.

Summer immediately opened her livestream panel.

Although she had officially left Team 8, her personal camera was still connected to Team 8’s public livestream because she had originally entered the Polluted Zone as one of its registered members.

[Would you like to disconnect from Team 8’s livestream?]

[YES] [NO]

Summer pressed [YES] without hesitation.

Another notification immediately appeared.

[You may continue broadcasting through your personal BeastNet channel.]

[Start Personal Livestream?]

Without thinking, she clicked [YES].

[Personal Livestream Activated.]

[Transferring viewers currently watching Summer Beaumont...]

The number beside the viewer icon immediately began climbing.

[10,721]

[21,306]

[35,883]

Summer raised an eyebrow. She had not expected more than thirty thousand people to follow her onto a private channel.

Then again, she had just beaten her cheating fiancé, exposed his affair with her sister, and walked into a B-rank Polluted Zone alone.

Of course they wanted to see what she would do next.

[Is she seriously walking a B-rank Polluted Zone alone?]

[She’s an F-rank Guide. She’ll die.]

[I followed because I want to see what happens.]

[Summer, go back. Being angry is one thing. Throwing your life away is another!]

[Mods, do something!]

[Moderators aren’t paid to provide mental healthcare.]

[HAHAHAHAHAHA!]

Summer ignored them and tapped the small eye-shaped icon beside the stream. A private panel only she could see slid open.

[BeastNet Livestream]

[Current Viewers: 35,883]

[Current Earnings: 1,794 Credits]

Summer had not expected to earn more than a thousand credits when she had only started her personal livestream a few seconds ago.

It seemed that views could earn her credits, and since she had gone solo, she no longer needed to split her earnings with her teammates.

Summer closed her terminal and continued on her way.

The town was in worse condition than she had imagined. Several buildings had collapsed outright. Others were wrapped in dark vines that had crawled all the way to the rooftops.

Rusted vehicles sat abandoned along the cracked street, and strange plants pushed up through the broken pavement.

More importantly, there was not a single ordinary person in sight.

This was nothing like the rifts of her old world. Back then, monsters came through a gate, so hunters had to entered it, killed the boss, and the tear eventually closed.

Here there was no gate to seal and no exact way to fix the world.

The polluted had already soaked into the land itself.

Therefore, the government carved what remained into numbered zones, ranked them by how thick the pollution was and how many mutated things nested inside, and sent Sentinels and Guides in to thin the numbers before the rot spread farther.

Speaking of mutated creatures, Summer’s terminal suddenly turned bright red.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Mutated Bat Detected!]

[Please remain alert and seek assistance from the nearest Sentinel.]
