I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 73
After Chungha established her plans for the future.
The game continued.
Tudadada-!
The automatic rifle in her hand fired rapidly towards the enemy.
[Chungha24 -> shoot123]
“Okay, sent another one.”
[Remaining personnel: 29]
“There aren’t many people left now.”
Now, it looks like I can comfortably make it into the top 30.
Living with senior players who are good at games these days, has my gaming skill become contagious?
If this is an epidemic, I’m more than welcome to it.
“Let’s loot here first.”
After entering the factory area, Chungha continued to farm. There were quite a few good guns here.
Mine isn’t that bad, but since there are good weapons, isn’t it a waste to give them away?
“Let me see…”
She replaced her weapon with a new one and refilled her ammo. While farming in a viewpoint made of rebar, she finally discovered it.
[Flare g*n]
The flare g*n that can drop supplies.
“Oh, the supply g*n finally came out.”
– Oh, you grabbed it quickly
– If it drops here, is the mission cleared immediately?
– The commander is lucky
By the way, I heard that the new ghillie suit only drops from supplies.
“Since I found it, should I roll a gacha now?”
I’m better at these gacha things than I thought.
Of course, my New Year’s fortune has recorded disasters every year with Shion. But maybe that was some kind of misfortune cancellation.
Still, I’ve always managed to pull at least average on special item gacha.
After picking up the flare ammo lying nearby, she loaded it and pointed it towards the sky.
-Pewwww…
A red signal flare shot up into the sky.
Hmm, it feels like a scene from a movie. It almost seems like a Tyrannosaurus would come running following that light to eat a goat…
‘⸻That’s not it.’
What was I thinking?
Quickly shaking my head, I broke free from the pit of temptation.
It seems my brain has been drenched in dinosaurs too much. Ugh, I need to lessen that.
Well, separating from that, people with guns will be rushing this way. I need to be careful.
How long has it been since I started keeping an eye out?
Shuuuuu-
An airplane passed overhead, dropping a supply crate where I was.
Since it was my first time seeing supplies, I was a bit excited.
“Let’s see what it gave me.”
I hope it gives something good like a ghillie suit along with it. With that hope, I opened the supplies.
What caught my eye was…
[DBS]
“Oh?”
…a supply shotgun?
What’s this, a hidden camera?
– Ah haha
– ???: That’s lucky
– Isn’t this the worst of the worst?
– And the ghillie suit didn’t come out either, haha
For a moment, I was dazed by the contents of the supply box. But I had no time to lament.
– Tudadada!
“d*mn.”
Dodging the incoming bullets, I quickly hid behind the supply crate. I spotted one survivor running from a distance.
Hey, there’s really nothing to eat here.
Could you please just not waste time and go away?
Tutudududu-!!
Unfortunately, it seems my prayer didn’t reach the opponent.
The gunfire continued to get closer.
[Ammunition: 4 / 40]
On top of that, my bullets were almost gone.
‘Agh, seriously.’
d*mn it, is it really unavoidable?
“I didn’t think I would have to pick this up again…”
Click!
After quietly sighing, I ultimately pulled out the shotgun again from the supply.
Since it has come to this, I aim for a shot when they get closer.
At least it’s better than the random guns lying around.
Bang! Bam-!
Two shotgun shells fired in quick succession for suppression.
At the same time…
“·····Huh?”
[Chungha24 -> grandguner11]
The k*ll log appeared on the screen.
What? Did they d*e from two hits?
From that distance too?
– ?? Why is that so strong?
– Did DBS get buffed?
– Last time they did mention considering buffs for fun.
– Probably a stealth patch?
Looking at the viewers’ reactions, it definitely didn’t seem like an ordinary situation.
So, they increased the performance as a test patch, and I just happened to get it?
‘I really was lucky…!’
I felt good knowing that my life wasn’t entirely a total mess.
“Hehe…”
[Anonymous Donor donated 1,000 won]
=So you didn’t end up making 100,000 won in the end?
“Ugh.”
Ouch, that hits a sore spot.
My mood that had improved from seeing the supply shotgun’s performance dampened again.
Well, even though I couldn’t get the ghillie suit, I still gained more.
Boom-!
“Wow.”
After pressing the installation button, the sight of an armored vehicle that looked reassuring caught my eye.
Supplies are indeed supplies.
Its build isn’t messing around.
“I guess I’ll just have to use this vehicle.”
As it looks, it seems sturdier in durability.
Thanks to its unique bulkiness, passengers inside can’t sh**t, but since I probably won’t sh**t while in the car anyway, it’s just safer to switch to this.
Moreover, it is the car I pulled from supplies after struggling, isn’t it?
I didn’t need anything else; I just wanted to drive this once.
The territory restrictions weren’t too severe right now.
Since there’s no rush, it’s okay to go a bit slower.
Hmm, the scenery is nice to look at.
It feels like a safari tour of a zoo I’ve only been to once in my past life.
– Vroom
As I pressed the accelerator vigorously, the armored vehicle filled with the dreams and hopes of beginners rushed across the plains.
* * *
How much time has passed?
Screech-!
The peaceful armored vehicle tour didn’t last long.
“Ah, fuel really.”
Turns out, this thing is a real gas guzzler.
All the fuel I had stored ran out, so I had to rush to the zone.
d*mn, I should have just taken the original car.
“Next time, I’ll play this game at least in a duo.”
– Isn’t that just a driver, not a duo?
– ???: Looking for someone to park the vehicle~
If only someone had brought a car, I could have at least gotten on that. It’s so frustrating being alone.
Next time, I should kidnap Baekro who’s playing around like our president.
[Survivor Count: 27]
[Survivor Count: 24]

[Survivor Count: 14]
While I enjoyed my marathon, the number of survivors continued to decrease.
Looks like it’s slowly approaching the moment when I need to join the battle.
“I’m going to take it slow now.”
After leisurely entering the circle, I began to keep an eye out for anyone nearby, quietly hiding in a building.
‘Please, let them get caught inside the building.’
Honestly, since the g*n performance is good, I think I can cover the outside somewhat.
But still, isn’t this a shotgun?
Indoor close quarter combat is still the most advantageous.
“I found shotgun ammo again.”
– This person keeps carrying only the 12 gauge, haha
– ‘Click’
– Honestly, using a shotgun makes the dopamine feel unreal, haha
“Honestly, it used to look bad, but I’m starting to like it again these days.”
They say you grow fond of things while fighting.
Just like that saying, the more I use this, the better it feels.
Moreover, didn’t we learn from the last pump that one good shotgun can take down a core user?
The fact that you can k*ll an enemy with a single click in certain situations is quite attractive.
Anyway, while I was crazily farming, I sensed some movement outside the building.
-Clank!
At the same time, something flew from outside the window with a refreshing sound and rolled on the floor.
A small round green object.
It was a grenade.
“Ah, cr*p!!”
Boom⸻!
Quickly moving to the next room, Chungha yelled as she barely survived.
Looking at the angle from which the grenade was thrown, the enemy must be on the opposite side of this building.
“Let’s just charge in.”
Since the goal this round is chicken, I’ll have to confront this opponent anyway.
It’s better to deal with them now when we’re close than to avoid them.
‘Besides, I could possibly take them down in one shot. Why not try?’
Plus, my dopamine levels are off the charts, so there’s nothing to hold back.
Quickly circling the building, I aimed the DBS at the target in front.
Ka-bam!
“This is easy.”
Was this game really this simple?
Just aim the crosshair and click, and everything’s solved.
– No, it’s you who’s weird.
– Seriously insane damage, wow
– Why is that dealing so much damage from that distance?
“Should I just keep pushing like this?”
Looking back now, I thought it wouldn’t be so bad to just charge forward in a car and sh**t everyone down.
Since it’s come to mind, let’s execute it right away.
“⸻Then, get in quickly.”
Bang-!
After catching a car, not long after…
[1st Place]
{We won! Tonight’s dinner is chicken!}
The words announcing the winner appeared on the darkened screen.
“This g*n is overpowered. Nerf it.”
– ??? Huh?
– What? I want to use it too.
– Look at them crying after getting their own crushed, haha
Well, I had my fun with it already.
It felt good to sh**t, but when I think about getting hit with that, it honestly feels unjust.

= Oppa, you’re often appearing in YourTube today.
“Ah, YourTube?”
Now that I think about it, this would be tasty if edited.
– But the commander doesn’t do YouTube.
– Thinking about it, that’s true.
– Bummer.
– But why don’t you actually do it?
– Considering Korea’s VTuber blue ocean, it could surprisingly do well.
“Hmm, I’d want to do it too…”
To be honest, my level isn’t that big.
I should focus a bit more on live streaming for now, I think.
During my idol days, I didn’t put out much content on the official channel, and my salary was handled by the agency, right?
Most of it was just announcement videos or the occasional Vlog, so there wasn’t much pressure.
But now, what about now?
No matter how many MCNs there are, I’m ultimately a sole proprietor: can I afford to pay those people’s salaries?
Me, who can’t even get a new avatar because I have no money?
[Anonymous Donor donated 1,000 won]
= But will this be posted on the official channel?
“Well… I guess?”
Now that I think about it, will my broadcast be posted on the Dot official channel too?
Considering the new hire that started a few days ago, even if it does get posted, it probably would be next month’s hot clip.
But to catch the drip effect from the official channel, it would be better to at least have a YourTube channel.
‘Thinking about this, it seems I should just make a channel?’
It might be better to spend a little money to ride the wave now since I want to become famous.
“Well then, I’ll start looking for someone.”
And the more videos there are on the channel, the better.
For now, I need to find an editor and a thumbnail artist as quickly as possible.
