I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 48

After deciding on my symbol, I said:

“Let’s just start the broadcast like this today.”

Since I had already turned on the broadcast anyway, I decided to go live at this time.

I felt a bit sorry for the viewers at work, but it felt awkward to turn off the broadcast and start it again later.

– Oh, finally

– I mean, there’s no way he just came to collect money

– As expected, the leader has a plan!

– There aren’t any fools working right now, right?

– Gather, security guards of South Korea!

[Anonymous donated 5,000 won]

– Is song bang possible?

“Ah, song bang…?”

Finally, the moment had arrived. Cheong-ha quietly swallowed her anxiety as she looked at the chat room.

“I’m sorry. I don’t think I can do song bang.”

Thanks to my vocal cords following my voice actor, my range was broad, but still, singing out loud made me uneasy.

– Oh, what a pity

– I feel like your voice would do really well with singing

– The leader’s voice is better than most voice actors

– Such a waste of talent…

– Do you perhaps sing poorly?

“No, it’s not that I can’t sing. It’s just not the right moment to do so.”

Still, someday there would come a day when I could sing again.

Setting aside the topic of songs which I couldn’t sing, I decided to proceed with the game broadcast.

‘For now, FPS seems to be a safe choice?’

But I thought doing just that might get boring.

However, since Taheon was a game with an inbuilt storyline, it seemed better to save it for later when everyone would join in the evening.

“How about trying out Ruler of Legends?”

Well, it wasn’t really my preferred genre, but whatever.

– Can the leader handle that?

– The chat there is no joke…

– Are you okay, leader?

– Ruler is good!

– Go, go!

Since it was a game quite famous in this area, reactions started flooding the chat immediately.

Let’s see, about 70% against and 30% in favor.

“Still, you have to taste it first to know if it’s a landmine or not.”

There’s a reason why parents always say to try it first before deciding. Of course, I don’t have parents like that.

– No, stop it, brother…

– Teacher, there are things in this world that look like bombs just by glancing.

– Why are you bringing that up?

– You’re going to end up getting beaten down with some phrases again.

– But looking at the leader, it might unexpectedly be fine?

– No, even though the leader looks like that, they’re actually weak.

– Remember the fainting incident, you guys, hahahaha

“Ah, so you’re saying the problem is the phrases, right?”

Wow, if that’s the case, then it’s actually quite mild. No, rather, it’s a thank you.

Why would I refuse when others are willing to curse my parents in my place?

‘Rather good.’

I should launch it right away.

Cheong-ha immediately accessed the site.

Ruler of Legends.

An esteemed game that has held the number one spot in PC room computer usage for over a decade.

However, despite its fame, the game’s overall image wasn’t very good.

Bugs and balance issues.

Being an old game, it had many intrinsic problems, but if I had to pick the biggest issue:

=[What the f*** are you doing, you b****?]

Would be the filthy chat full of curses.

Due to the nature of team games, blaming others was always an occurrence, but this game, because of its renowned fame, had it even worse.

I hadn’t played this game, but I had certainly heard of its infamous reputation.

– Ugh

– It’s already disgusting

– Why blame others when they messed up as well?

– That’s just how this game is…

– Ugh, I have PTSD…

– k*ll that one

The chat in the game immediately started hurling insults, and the viewers began to panic.

“Well, that can happen.”

There are plenty of people in Japan who bet their lives on games too. Mostly in horse racing.

Of course, it’s probably not at that level, but if one focuses on the game, it could be quite similar.

Isn’t it rather good if it’s just like that?

– But why is the leader laughing?

– No way, right?

– Kim Cheong-ha / Unfilial Daughter controversy

– Kim Cheong-ha… M… Memo…

“No, I wasn’t laughing.”

Uh-oh, it seems my avatar unintentionally gave away my expression.

I still need to improve as a professional broadcaster. I should be more careful.

‘Ah, but still, how can I hold this back?’

Even while repeatedly reassuring myself, I couldn’t hide the rising corners of my mouth.

I mean, those guys still come to me asking for money in my dreams sometimes, right?

In any case, those people should get cursed at like this at least.

=[Yeah, your mom’s a prostitute.]

=[Thanks. I’ll do my best going forward.]

After sending a thank-you message to the team member who took their precious time to curse instead of me, Cheong-ha grabbed her mouse again.

To be able to curse someone solely based on facts, truly Korea is an amazing country.

Time passed while I continued with the game.

Gradually, I began to feel a bit uncomfortable.

– But brother, why aren’t you using your blink?

– Ah, this is…

– This is really frustrating.

“I haven’t played anything but FPS games lately, so I just couldn’t adapt.”

Cheong-ha mumbled after seeing her character d*e once again. Lately, she’d been playing too much Overwatch, and returning to the respawn area had become a habit.

Isn’t it normal to d*e and respawn, considering the name itself?

But that wasn’t the only issue.

“…What should I buy from the shop?”

After barely returning to the respawn area, the shop was cluttered with items I didn’t understand at all.

What’s with the sword, and what’s that ring?

And what’s this, an arrow?

Were there archers here too?

Well, I’ll have to look it up on the Internet later.

=[F*** this b****]

“…It seems like we’re crossing a line now.”

Maybe it was irritating that I was remaining so calm; the intensity of the curses began to escalate.

Beyond simple insults about parents, personal attacks against me followed.

And then there was the most dangerous chat.

=[No way, are your ancestors pro-Japanese? Get out of the game, you f***ing b****.]

“…?”

What do I do about this?

A cold sweat dripped down my forehead.

[The chat system has been blocked.]

If I said one wrong word here, I felt like I would fall straight down, so I quickly went into the settings and blocked that user.

Now, that person won’t be able to chat with me anymore.

Alright, everyone saw nothing.

– What?

– ??? That was fast

– Is the chat block for real?

– Looks like the leader knows a thing or two

– No way, is this person really Japanese? That’s not a concept, is it? For real.

– How does this person know Korean so well?

Alright, I am harmless. Harmless.

I began to continue the broadcast with the biggest smile I could manage.

“Yes, Dokdo belongs to Korea, and if anyone says anything unrelated to the broadcast, I’ll ban you.”

Even though I look like this, I was certainly Korean in my past life.

Why would I defend Japan when I’m like that?

Regardless of nationality or anything, if I’m to criticize, it should be done properly.

‘I really want to find a chat manager…’

It was exhausting dealing with the rampaging trolls one by one in the long run.

‘If I ask a VIP, they might help…’

It was just a fleeting thought in my mind, but I couldn’t help but shake my head.

Being a chat manager already eats up a lot of time.

Because they should be present almost every day for the stream of the designated streamer, it’s better if they have plenty of time and money.

Do I really want to ruin a high school senior’s life who’s busy?

And there would be plenty of unpleasant utterances in censored chats, how could I show that to a kid?

I had no choice but to do it myself.

After giving a temporary block to a few trolls, I continued with the game.

Those people would come back to normal once things settle down, right?

“Anyway, let me buy some things that look good.”

I quickly opened the shop and bought a seemingly strong blue sword.

This seems to have high attack power and should be fine.

– What? BF?

– Wait, does he know what that is before buying?

– Just buy something else…

– That one is good too…

– Isn’t that too much money to spend at once?

– Guys, it’s a blind buy, just watch

– He’ll figure something out

– Do you not trust him?

‘Hmm, I just bought it because it has high attack power.’

From the reactions, it doesn’t seem like a very good item.

What’s going on, is my evolution tree not good?

But oh well, I’ll just use it since I bought it.

“I’ll give it a try.”

I need to make the most of this. I spent all my assets on buying this.

Since I’m a close-range dealer, I’ll at least pull my weight.

“With a single strike!”

Returning to the battlefield, I swung my sword at the opponent’s minions who were in the midst of battle.

Swish—!

Hmm, it definitely slices better than earlier.

And I’m certainly earning gold properly.

Just as I was joyfully sucking in gold.

Kiiieee—

An enemy champion suddenly rushed in from the other side.

Pat-pat—

“Ah, wait a second. I messed up.”

With the enemy’s attacks coming in wildly, I unconsciously pulled back.

– No, fight back

– You’re in close-range, right? Hahaha

– There’s no way you can escape with that, just hit back

Having gotten used to dodging bullets, I unconsciously ran away.

In the meantime, the few attacks I launched faded away without hitting the enemy.

– No, don’t run away, hahaha

– This guy is really a beginner

– Ah, this is relaxingly obvious

– I expected this

“…I can’t do this game.”

Now that I think about it, it’s not just the chat that’s the problem; the game genre doesn’t suit me at all.
