Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 118: Fuck
In fact, if I wanted to collect the Cyberburger, I could do it right away.
After all, I was the one who issued that gifticon.
It means I could handle it immediately if I wanted to.
But—
‘...But even so, collecting it feels a bit strange.’
I never told them to participate in the "Ganggy" event in the first place.
Of course, it’s common sense not to participate in these events with cheats, but what can I expect from the people on the Ifrit Gallery?
I should've posted a notice in advance.
“Sigh.”
I let out a sigh and left a comment.
L: UncoverLondonSecret: I'll let it slide this time.
L: UncoverLondonSecret: Don’t use cheats to sign up next time.
L: UncoverLondonSecret: If it keeps happening, I’ll have to do something about it.
I had a weapon at my disposal.
That was the dance video of Kang Hoomin that I had saved from last time.
It was a video I had intended to use for situations like this.
‘If this keeps up, I’ll have no choice but to share it on the gallery.’
I wasn’t a completely bad person, but I wasn’t going to tolerate such behavior without taking action.
I was thinking about that when—
Kang Hoomin: Oh, right.
Kang Hoomin: Ok, ok.
Kang Hoomin: I won’t do it again, haha.
Kang Hoomin responded very politely.
It seemed like he had momentarily forgotten that I had the video of him dancing.
“Haah.”
After hearing Kang Hoomin’s reply, I suddenly felt sleepy.
The exhaustion that had built up during my time in London hit me all at once.
‘There’s nothing really to do... I guess I’ll just sleep.’
There was nothing pressing to do.
The YouTube channel was being managed by Haewoo, not me.
I didn’t need to start a stream right now.
Click.
I turned off the lights and sank into my blanket.
The next day,
I felt sore all over.
It was hard to move freely, I’d say.
“Ugh...”
My neck and shoulders were particularly painful.
I could barely walk, to be honest.
I had a pretty good idea of why this was happening.
‘I must’ve overworked myself.’
I’d never moved my body this much before, and it was kind of surprising how painful it was.
But that was that.
“I guess I won’t be going to the gym.”
I didn’t think I could make it to the gym.
Normally, I would try to go, but today it seemed impossible.
So I sent a message.
[Me: Dabin]
[Me: I’m really tired today]
[Me: I don’t think I can make it]
[Me: Do some solo training]
I knew Dabin would worry if I didn’t send the message, so I made sure to let her know ahead of time so she wouldn’t be distracted from her own workout.
After a short while, I got a reply.
[Dabin: Really?]
[Dabin: I heard you just got back from your trip]
[Dabin: I was looking forward to it]
[Dabin: What a shame]
‘...Isn’t it normal to let someone rest for at least a day after a trip?’
I thought it was a bit strange and snuggled deeper into the blanket while checking YouTube.
I was curious about how my view counts were doing.
‘How much will it be?’
It was my first trip in a long time, so I hoped the view count would be decent.
I didn’t usually care much about YouTube stats, but it would be nice if the numbers were good.
After all, there’s nothing bad about high views.
I checked the views for the most recent video.
[Wrapping up my schedule in London]
[2 hours ago]
[74,210 views]
“Whoa.”
That was more than I expected.
Usually, after two hours, the view count would be around 50,000, but this had exceeded that.
I was glad I went to London, thinking this was worth it, and I started reading the comments.
L: London looks so fun, seriously.
L: If you’re going, why come back so early? Hahaha
L: You were only there for a short time, haha
L: Gamers haven’t been outside for too long, huh? Their faces have turned pale, lol
ㄴ: Gamers are definitely different
L: You should’ve gone around outside more, a bit disappointing to see no streams.
ㄴ: But considering their usual activity, this time they actually moved a lot...
ㄴ: Seriously, haha
ㄴ: If gamers did this much, it’s actually quite a bit.
Since becoming an adult and attending university, I had spent most of my time at home with my computer.
So, this trip had been the biggest challenge for me.
I’d actually debated whether to go or not the whole time.
“Glad the reactions are good.”
If the reactions were bad, I’d probably be feeling down.
I thought to myself as I kept watching the Shorts without moving.
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
Then, a clip from my stream popped up.
“Oh? She streamed right after I got back.”
Was she not tired?
I was exhausted, almost dead, but here she was.
I wondered what she was saying in the clip and focused on listening.
So this time, I got support from Twitch to host a tournament. I’ve wanted to do this for a while, and it really feels like the perfect time.
Unbelievable words came out of Harin’s mouth.
‘A tournament?’
Harin was hosting a tournament?
It wouldn’t be easy to host one without a decent following.
Could she actually pull it off? I wondered as I checked the comments.
L: Does Harin really have the clout to host a tournament?
ㄴ: What’s the problem? She’s high-tier.
ㄴ: Her average viewer count is at least 5,000, she’s definitely high-tier, haha.
ㄴ: You really underestimate Harin, huh...
L: So why won’t you tell us what kind of tournament it is, damn.
ㄴ: They’re apparently ranking by tier and randomly assigning teams.
ㄴ: Oh, that sounds really fun, haha.
ㄴ: I wonder if Dama will participate.
ㄴ: Dama’s a money-driven guy, so he’ll definitely join, haha.
From the comments, it seemed that hosting a tournament wasn’t that impossible after all.
I thought there should be more viewers, but it looked like it could work.
Curious, I left a comment.
ㄴ: Dama’s a money-driven guy, so he’ll definitely join, haha.
ㄴ: What do you mean by money-driven, you crazy idiot?
I couldn’t tolerate comments that slandered people.
Since when did I start showing off my money?
I was dumbfounded as I sent a message to Harin.
[Me: Hey]
[Me: You said you were hosting a tournament,]
[Me: Why didn’t you tell me about it?]
[Me: Respond if you see this.]
I didn’t think Harin purposely ignored me.
She was the type to forget things occasionally.
As I thought that, I received a response from her.
[Harin: Oh, hey]
[Harin: Did you see the video?]
[Harin: I was going to contact you once the details were settled,]
[Harin: Still figuring out the rules, so please wait a bit.]
Harin sent a clear response.
As expected.
I trusted Harin.
‘She’s not the type to handle something important without letting me know.’
I thought that to myself as I replied.
[Me: Ah, that makes sense]
[Me: Let me know when it’s confirmed,]
[Me: I’m willing to participate.]
I personally liked tournaments hosted on platforms.
It’s fun to play games with others, and above all, the prize money is usually pretty good.
‘I did well in the Finding Cup last time, so I’ll do fine.’
I liked tournaments, and if they could be held more often, I’d be happy about that.
With that thought in mind, I stood up.
“Ugh... Time to clean.”
It was time to clean up.
Some time passed after that.
About five days.
During that time, the details of Harin’s tournament were finalized.
‘Honestly, I don’t know the exact details.’
I didn’t have to organize a team with others; if I signed up for the tournament, Harin would form teams based on streamers’ tiers.
So, there wasn’t much to prepare.
“Haah.”
Just as I yawned,
[🗡️ All-Powerful Cthulhu: Who will I get teamed with, haha]
[🗡️ All-Powerful Cthulhu: Can’t wait.]
[Please let it be with Mangming, please let it be with Mangming, please let it be with Mangming.]
[Hope I get stuck with some weak player so I can suffer all day.]
[Please give me a weak player.]
[Kang Hoomin: I hope my teammates all rank up through proxy, so on the surface, we look strong but actually have no real skill.]
[Oh, you little schemer, haha.]
[Kang Hoomin is still pushing his luck despite multiple warnings, haha.]
[It’s fun though, have a drink.]
The chat was full of people discussing my future partner.
It was actually kind of fun to see how the chat went, probably because it was part of the broadcast.
As I was watching the chat,
Alright, the team assignments are done. Please focus, everyone.
Harin said that, and the team assignments began.
Some people were new to me, while others I was familiar with.
But my name hadn’t come up yet.
‘When will it come up?’
As I was getting bored,
Haton, Kang Hoomin, Rimaldo, Dama, Parsley—these five will be on the same team.
“Fuck.”
I couldn’t help but curse under my breath.
