Chapter 100 - 100: « Disaster-Class Player Is A First-Time Dad! [3] »
[Bonus Chapter for the Spacecraft super gift by "Maurve" ~ refer to the Author's Reward system.]
The servers of Bnet and RedZone slowed down immediately after the broadcast ended. The traffic was too high. Millions of people were typing at the same time. The news of the 11th floor ruins was big, but the reveal of the child was bigger.

Thread: [OFFICIAL] Kang Min's Press Conference - Breakdown and Discussion
Poster: Hunter_Watcher
Kang Min just made three huge claims.
1. He is starting Kang Company.
2. He is the only one allowed to clear sinkholes because of a god's vision.
3. He has a daughter with grey hair and red eyes.
Let's discuss the facts.

@SwordMaster_K:
> I do not believe the vision story. He is a player, not a priest. He is using the name of a god to stop other guilds from entering the ruins. He wants all the high-level relics for himself. It is a smart business move. He is claiming a monopoly on the most dangerous and profitable zones in the Tower.
@RealityCheck:
> Even if it is a lie, who can stop him? The major guilds failed. Iron Aegis lost their pride and their gear. If a guild tries to enter a sinkhole and Kang Min tells them no, what will they do? Fight him? He came out of a Demon King. He is the law now.
@Tower_Scholar:
> The sinkhole claim is actually good for low-level players. Most deaths happen because people fall into Abyss zones by accident. If Kang Company clears them first, the floors become safer. I am more interested in the child.
@AngryPayer:
> I am tired of these celebrities. Isn't he like 28...29?. When did he have a daughter? Why is he hiding the mother? It feels like a stunt to get more views for his new company. He is using a kid to look like a hero.
@SupportMin:
> @AngryPayer You are just jealous. He stood on that stage and took responsibility. He is a father. He wants to protect his kid. That is why he is staying on the lower floors. I respect a man who puts his family before the 100th floor.

@HunterDaily: > BREAKING: Kang Company stock interest is at an all-time high. Major investors in Seoul are moving their money away from the Top 3 Guilds. They want to fund the man who clears the "Cursed Ruins."
@SashaKim_Fan:
> Did anyone see Sasha Kim's face during the stream? She looked shocked. Woonhee knew about the kid though. She helped him. I think there is a secret team behind Kang Min.
@AnonymousHunter:
> He said the relics are cursed and that humanity is not ready. But he is going to keep them? That sounds like he is building an arsenal. He is going to be the most powerful person on Earth in six months. sounds more like a threat, not an announcement.
@CutenessOverload:
> THE DAUGHTER IS SO ADORABLE. She was not scared of the cameras at all. She just looked at him like he was her whole world. I don't care about the Tower anymore. I just want more vlogs of the Kang family.
@GateKeeper_Zero:
> He is lying about the vision. No constellation gives a vision like that to a rookie. He found something in the tutorial. He is hiding the source of his power. We should be asking where he really went during whatever trial he mentioned in the 10th floor.

Video: The Moment Kang Min Reveals His Daughter
@User_9921:
> Look at the way he strapped her shoes. He is a real dad. He didn't even care that the cameras were watching. He just wanted her to walk right. That was the most grounded thing I have seen a high-ranker do. Most of them are too arrogant to bend down.
@SeoulVibe:
> The child has red eyes and grey hair. My grandfather said the old legends talk about children born from the stars. Is she an awakened baby? If she has his stats, she will be a monster by the time she is ten.
@GuildHater:
> The top guilds are crying right now. They spent billions on the expedition and got nothing. Kang Min spent zero won and walked away with a company, a Calamity pet, and the public's trust. He played them all.
@Comedy_god:
> He forgot her name! Look at his face when the reporter asked. He had a blank stare for a second. The strongest player in the world can kill a Demon King but can't name a toddler. I am laughing so hard. He probably calls her "Kid" at home.

Topic: The Economic Impact of Kang Company
@Analyst_Jung:
> The announcement of Kang Company is a direct attack on the current guild system. By focusing on sinkholes, he is targeting the "High-Risk, High-Reward" sector that guilds usually avoid. If he succeeds, he will have a collection of relics that no one else can buy. He said he is doing it for safety. I judge this as a move to control the Tower's most valuable resources. He is using his daughter as a shield against criticism. Who would attack a father trying to provide for his child?
@Hunter_Link:
> I am an active player on Floor 14. I saw a sinkhole open yesterday. Everyone ran away. If Kang Min is serious, we need him. I don't care about his secrets or his daughter. I want to live. If he takes the cursed items, he can have them. I just want to clear the floor without dying.
@Critique_Master:
> The second announcement was a distraction. He told us he was starting a monopoly, and then he showed us a cute baby. This led to everyone talking about the baby instead of the monopoly. Kang Min is a genius at public relations. He is managing the stream like a professional.
[General News Comment Section]
@Citizen_K:
> I am a normal person. I don't go into the Tower. To me, Kang Min is a hero. He saved the city from the Kraken. Now he is promising to fix the sinkholes. And he is a single father. The media should leave him alone about the mother. He is doing more for us than the government.
@OldGuard_Hunter:
> He is too young. He has too much power. This will end badly. A human cannot control a Calamity tiger and clear Abyss ruins alone. He will fail, and when he does, the sinkholes will swallow Seoul. He is being reckless because he thinks he is a god.
@YoungHustle:
> I want to apply for a job at Kang Company. If he is hiring, the salary must be huge. He has all the loot from the Demon King. I am a porter. I am going to send him my resume today. Woonhee is there, so he must be a good boss.
Final_Thought:
> He said it is the beginning of a war. What does that mean? Is the Tower going to change? He stopped the stream before explaining. He is playing with our feelings. He wants us to be anxious.

The reaction was a mix of total support and deep suspicion.
Half the world loved the image of the young father and his daughter.
The other half feared his growing power and his strange claims about a god's vision.
But everyone agreed on one thing. Kang Min was the center of the world.
No one was looking at the top guilds anymore.
They were all waiting to see what Kang Company would do first.
