I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 34

Muse.

This character, with the lore of being a pro gamer from Busan, South Korea, was undeniably one of Golden Watch’s popular characters.

Decently rendered graphics and a perfectly matching voice actor.

Just like the saying that if the appearance is outstanding, everything else is good too, Muse was also highly rated as a tank unit.

「Activating Defense Matrix!」

Upon right-clicking the mouse, a trapezoidal matrix deployed from Muse’s mech.

Pong pong-!

Lasers fired from the matrix, neutralizing projectiles flying towards allies.

It played a similar role to the flares scattered by fighter jets to evade missiles.

Shwooo-!

After consuming the 3-second duration matrix to some extent, what remained was close combat.

Just as both sides clashed, a thunderous roar was heard from afar.

「River, devour my enemies!!」

■□□□-!

Along with an ear-splitting roar, a blue serpent burst through the wall diagonally and swept through the advancing enemies.

「Uwaaah!」

From the instantly ticking damage, the enemy Tracer let out a death cry.

As if a tidal wave had swept through, enemy heroes began to be washed away.

However, not everyone was just taking it.

「Huaaah!!」

The enemy tank, surviving with its unique health pool, leaped towards us.

Perhaps it was a desperate struggle to chip away at our health before dying, but.

Papapapak-!

「Keuuk!!」

With the sound of something swift embedding itself, the last remaining enemy tank’s body shot up into the sky.

“Jumin-nim, you’re really good.”

‘Our sniper does his job really well.’

Casually glancing at the allied damage scores, I couldn’t help but be impressed.

[JuminJuni] – 『3,782.』

‘Already in the 3 thousands.’

Damage nearly double my own.

That was the amount of damage Jumin had dealt alone this round.

‘His aim is no joke.’

Unlike guns where you just pull the trigger, the bow Izo wielded only reached its full power when the string was drawn back completely.

In other words, missing even one shot resulted in a huge damage loss.

Statistically, his accuracy was a whopping 27%.

For reference, celestial-tier Izo users have an accuracy in the 30% range.

It was truly a jaw-dropping figure.

‘They say Koreans are the people of the bow, could that manifest in games too?’

After that, Jumin’s plays continued to be outstanding.

「Now, be swept away!」

He didn’t just disrupt the enemy formation with his ultimate like before.

「Tracking enemy positions」

He didn’t just instantly scale walls and tag the enemy tank with sonic detection.

「Swift as the gust!」

「Not the cleanest strike, but not bad.」

He even counter-killed a Death that closed in using its own skills.

Wow, that guy got turned into a honeycomb before even activating his invincibility.

“Wow, that person is really good.”

“Was Izo always that cool…..?”

And it seemed others were just as surprised watching it.

[-That person doesn’t seem like someone who belongs here?]

[-High school senior, just go pro]

[-Agree, that aim is no joke? lol]

[-I thought the streamer was good too until now.]

[-Above her was Jumin!]

[-But no joke, at that level, isn’t he really on par with Solnamu?]

[-Was Izo always such a cool character?]

[-Seriously, he’s flying around like that, but why is our team’s Izo like this?]

“Ah, I’m not that good.”

Honestly, considering pure FPS skill alone, I still think Solnamu, being a pro, would be better.

But Jumin is still young.

He had plenty of potential to grow further, and more importantly, this game was different from Battle Field.

‘Maybe Jumin is better at Golden Watch?’

‘…..Should I try learning too?’

In the case of the Shimada brothers, they were Japanese characters, and their motions were cool, so I wanted to play them well.

“Um, Jumin-nim.”

“Can you teach me how to play Izo later?”

“Yes…..?!”

“Ah, yes!!”

“I can!”

Fortunately, he readily agreed to my request.

‘Nice, secured another piece of content.’

Just as Cheongha was planning her next content, Izo’s sonic detection arrow detected an enemy.

Woong-

「River, devour my enemies!!」

Once again, the blue serpent flew towards the enemies.

However, this time, they didn’t die.

The serpent flying from Izo’s ult is a bit slow.

Earlier, Jumin just managed to get kills because he flanked well.

Most of the time, it was used for disrupting formations rather than killing like this.

And, for those who survived, I prepared a small gift.

「Let’s see you nerf this too, huh?」

As they dodged the encroaching serpent and rebuilt their formation, a robot with a brightly glowing core dropped from above onto their heads.

Kwaaang—!

[Chungha24 => trains467 / nenewbbie1130 / breathtaking / grandarcher1111]

Along with a massive explosion, the powerless characters were sent flying in all directions.

It was the ultimate ability of Muse, the character Cheongha chose: Self-Destruct Sequence.

As the ability with the highest damage in this game, no hero could withstand it unprotected.

[-Wow, you just took that for free?]

[-Nicely capitalizing on Jumin’s seasoning]

[-That’s cheap, Kim Cheongha!]

[-Fight fair and square!]

“Well, isn’t it fine as long as they’re dealt with in the end?”

Since the serpent Jumin fired was for disrupting the formation anyway, the remaining enemies were opponents we had to fight and clean up.

“Besides, all the enemies were clustered there, it’s kinda hard not to shoot, right?”

Usually, saving things like this leads to a wasted ultimate.

It was a truth learned through dozens of experiences since her past life.

“Ah, right.”

“It’s super frustrating if you fill up the ult but can’t use it by the end of the game.”

[-Agree, that feels like such a waste]

[-If not for situations like that, you might as well use it for show]

[-Honestly, unless they’re experts, people usually use it like that]

[-Still, seeing as she got everyone there, it’s definitely not a loss lol]

Viewers with similar experiences eventually conceded to her logic.

Losing a goal you worked hard to achieve was truly a heart-wrenching matter.

[Capture point activating.]

“This is the last one now.”

While chatting amongst ourselves like that, the game quickly began heading towards its climax.

The place we needed to capture this time was a wide-open plaza.

Since there were no tall pillars or buildings nearby, it was a location where Izo would have difficulty sniping.

‘It’ll take some time for the enemies to respawn and get here, so maybe I should chat more with the viewers in the meantime.’

“Well then, shall we chat a bit until they arrive?”

“What?”

“Ah, yes!”

“We’d love to!!”

Since I hadn’t really talked much with anyone besides our VIP, let’s take this chance to analyze what type of people my character appeals to.

“Ah, first….. I’m just an office worker.”

“I’ve always watched a lot of anime, so.”

“I came here out of curiosity after seeing Cheongha’s avatar.”

“Aha…..”

‘Getting hooked through anime.’

Certainly, Vtubers seem to share some overlapping tastes with anime fans more than the general public.

“Alright, how about that person over there?”

Honestly, this was the one I was most curious about.

‘The Vtuber industry is usually dominated by male viewers.’

Of course, female fans definitely existed, but if you looked at the ratio, the male side was overwhelming.

Probably around 80:20.

‘To meet the criteria of being popular, I’ll probably need female fans too.’

I never saw the status window during my idol days.

That means, even in the status window’s view back then, I fell into the category of popular.

And back then, our group didn’t only have male fans.

‘Unnie, you’re cool!’

‘Our Ren-chan is the best! Your unnie is cheering for you!’

‘I came all the way from Kyushu to Tokyo just to see Ren-nim!’

Hearing the voices and seeing the comments occasionally at concert venues, I could feel that there were quite a few female fans.

I don’t know the exact criteria for popularity according to the status window, but I guess I just need to reach a similar level as back then.

“Um, actually….”

The female fan shyly continued her words in response to my question.

“I saw you while searching online, and your voice is so pretty…..”

“Ah, my voice?”

Surprised for a moment by the unexpected words, Cheongha soon nodded in agreement.

‘It certainly makes sense.’

The profession of voice actor doesn’t exist for nothing.

Among them, since my voice was done by a famous Japanese voice actor, my voice, along with my appearance, was one of the areas I was most confident in.

「Enemy over there!」

While Cheongha was chatting with the other participants, Jumin, spotting an approaching enemy, quickly pinged.

“Well then, shall we stop the conversation here for now?”

The interview is over; now it’s time to get back to work.

I turned the mech’s direction and moved to the front of my teammates.

The game mode this round was Flashpoint.

Given the characteristic that you win simply by filling the capture percentage of one randomly designated point to 100%, our team’s composition wasn’t bad.

‘Honestly, just looking at the team comp, this is the best, right?’

Muse dealing near-instant death damage with her ultimate, and Izo, the master of formation disruption.

Kanji with a built-in instant death mechanic, and even a healer with knockback on their basic attack.

Everyone specialized in forcing enemies out of a specific area.

“Alright, let them come if they want.”

“They won’t push past here.”

‘Since our side captured the point first, all we have to do here is hold our ground so you can’t enter.’

Finally, the enemies came into view.

Towards them, desperately trying to push in, the missiles mounted on Cheongha’s mech spewed fire.
