『 It's the most shocking event since the opening of Satisfy! 』

CNV was the world’s leading news brand that sent radio waves to 400 million households in 235 countries.

As the leader of the 24 hour news channels, it had the excellent ability to read the trends, took the lead in starting professional programs for Satisfy, and dominated the market in South Korea along with OGC.

『 What is a dragon heart, a dragon heart?! 』

Satisfy World. It was a Satisfy discussion program that had established itself as one of CNV’s most popular programs. It was a program where experts from various fields gathered together and focused on dissecting the biggest news that occurred on that day in Satisfy. It was recognized for its professionalism and boasted high ratings. It was just that in recent years, the trend in viewership had become stagnant due to habitual behavior.

PD Andersen’s ambition to make Satisfy World a flagship program for CNV was far away. Then today, he got good luck.

『 Now Grid has swallowed the heart of that terrifying monster! 』

The discussion topic of today’s Satisfy World was the ‘unknown person’s’, in other words, Grid’s, third epic. Satisfy World’s viewership was the highest ever since the sentence ‘he swallowed the heart of a dragon’ attracted the attention of the world. It was thanks to the fact that the broadcast started just before Grid’s epic was written. Now the broadcast was breaking the news in real-time.

‘We were lucky to get this.’

PD Andersen continued to signal to the panel. It was a signal to start the provocative analysis. However, most of the panelists showed a passive attitude.

『 Hmmm... let’s see. Isn't it likely to be a metaphorical expression? As you know, dragons are absolute in Satisfy’s world view. Didn’t we all witness the evil dragon killing Grid and Kraugel in the 3rd National Competition? It is physically impossible for Grid and the Overgeared Guild to become strong enough to raid a dragon and take its heart in just two years. 』

『 That’s right. They can barely raid a great demon yet they are already killing a dragon? It is almost impossible for the item Grid swallowed to be a real dragon heart or an item associated with a dragon heart. 』

『 Um... 』

There were many silent panelists. The experts couldn’t speak recklessly in cases related to Grid because there was a lot of room to be wrong. The panel’s passive attitude made PD Andersen anxious.

‘Nonsense is good so keep talking! The president is also watching!’

In the broadcast industry, Grid was treated as a guaranteed check. He didn’t have to appear on air. The audience flocked even if only his name was mentioned. Not long ago, an entertainment program analyzed Grid’s whereabouts and based on this, determined the fruits that Grid didn’t like. This third-rate gossip program scored the highest viewership in that time period.

‘The fruits he doesn’t like...’

It was lukewarm watermelons and cold peaches. The moment the fruits that Grid disliked were revealed, social media heated up and all types of phenomena occurred. The social media accounts of the third-rate gossip program increased by 100 times overnight.

PD Andersen had watched this absurd situation and came to a conclusion. It was Grid. It was unconditionally Grid. Once the wave called ‘Grid’ came in, he had to paddle it to death. Today was the perfect opportunity. The epic series generated overwhelming buzz among the Grid-related issues. Andersen didn’t want to miss the chance created by the epic that occurred every few months.

However, most of the panelists were silent, making it hard to paddle.

-Then what is the dragon heart?

Andersen’s worries grew as viewers expressed their dissatisfaction in the chat window.

『 You don’t have to hunt dragons to get a dragon heart. 』

Julatan, the most popular gaming expert on the panel, opened his mouth for the first time. He had finished his own analysis while the other panelists had been talking.

『 First, let’s take a closer look at the dragons. Hasn’t it been revealed through many old books that dragons are like gods? I’m sure that no one can answer the question about how almighty a dragon is. Isn't that right? We’ve already witnessed the imperfections of the dragons through the Insane Dragon. 』

The exact reason was unknown but Insane Dragon Nevartan was literally an insane dragon. He was captivated by madness and completely lost his sense of reason. It was proof that dragons couldn’t avoid illnesses and curses.

『 In the first place, dragons might be like gods but they aren’t gods themselves. We can’t rule out the possibility of weakening or dying from a natural death or from fighting with each other. Somewhere on the continent, a dragon’s corpse might be sleeping. 』
