Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 539
“Where is Anna’s house, again?”
After logging into the game, I headed straight to Anna’s House.
– Really?
– No, there are 3rd and 4th generation students here.
– Should we go and cause some trouble?
However, looking at the chat room, opinions seem to be divided.
“Hmmm, is that the case?”
I guess it does feel a bit like causing trouble if we show up now.
Anna’s personality probably means she wouldn’t refuse, though.
– No no no no no
– Let’s go and cause some trouble
– Are you the type to care about this?
– Can’t chill;
“Alright, I understand everyone’s opinions.”
Still, based on the chat, those wanting to go seem to have the majority.
Or is it that they’re getting more fired up because they think I won’t go?
“Then shall we go hunting?”
Seeing the excitement rising, I feel like I shouldn’t go.
– ?
– ??
– ?
– No, let’s go
“I’ll send a light whisper.”
I wanted to ask directly, but if the public opinion is like that.
After sending a whisper to Anna asking if I could join the gathering, I gathered the mercenaries.
“Oh, I see them over there.”
As I assembled them, everyone rushed to my side.
Seeing them gathered like this, the awkwardness is intense.
– Hahaha
– Ugh, those guys are funny just to look at
[Brother!]
[I’m here, Milam!]
[Captain!]
Everyone’s calling out with different titles, trying to show their individuality.
Plus, the characters feel extremely out of place.
Compared to usual, there’s Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Gan Yu, and even Lu Bu.
Is this a fantasy simulation game or Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Plus, the timeline doesn’t match.
Why are Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, and Lu Bu together? They probably never met in their lifetime.
Well… I did summon them.
“Everyone, let’s go….”
[Yes!!]
[Let’s do it!!]
[Let’s go!]
– Wow, what energy! Haha!
– These uncles are insane!
– Crazy Three Kingdoms puppies, haha!
So, I set off with these excited uncles to the hunting ground.
The new hunting ground was pretty crowded.
Now everyone seems to be bringing mercenaries as a default.
Well, it seems like I’m the only one who brought all five mercenaries.
Others’ mercenaries aren’t that strong anyway.
“Today, let’s start by taking down the Captain of the Soldiers.”
[Yes! Brother!]
[We can take on the general easily!]
– Look at those uncles’ enthusiasm, haha!
– For real, this is reassuring.
– One mercenary was a good draw, haha!
“…The mercenaries are good, but I’m worried about the guild name.”
Back when Zhuge Liang and Gan Yu were included, it would have been fine to name it something like Shu Han, Shu State, or perhaps rebuilding the Han Dynasty.
[I’ll push forward!]
But that Lu Bu guy is the problem.
Lu Bu in Shu Han? Doesn’t fit at all.
I feel like I need to execute him right away.
If you look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, isn’t Liu Bei the one who scolded Lu Bu and avoided him at Cao Cao’s side?
Besides, there’s no Liu Bei to call Shu Han a real thing.
As the leader is Guan Yu, it feels like if I were to add Liu Bei, the genealogy would be twisted.
– Fengxian, haha!
– For real, he’s pretty strong.
– Why is he like that, haha?
“…His damage output is indeed impressive.”
Our setup consists of 1 tank, 3 melee DPS, and 2 ranged DPS.
Zhang Fei tanks, while Lu Bu, Gan Yu handle melee.
And Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang attack from afar with arrows and magic.
“After we create the guild, we should recruit an additional tank.”
Now that our damage output is sufficient, it would be nice to have one more tank.
Right now, it looks like Zhang Fei is sadly tanking all the hits alone.
Who could take on the tank role?
I briefly conjured a list in my head.
Since it’s the Three Kingdoms era, there aren’t many who could wield shields.
Zhao Yun? Xiahou Dun?
Or perhaps, Man Chong or Wang Ping?
Most of the names that come to mind are from Wei.
Well, Wei was good at defending too.
Plus, with Lu Bu already in the mix ruining the army’s concept, going for a balanced setup might be the right decision.
“Prospector!”
[Yes, Guan Yu.]
“Who should we get for the additional tank?”
In situations like this, it’s best to ask.
After all, we have Zhuge Kongming with us.
When I asked various questions to confirm the concept during the first interview, he got most of them about the Three Kingdoms right.
[I suggest someone who can add elemental damage over a main tank.]
“Elemental?”
[Yes, since we lack damage over time, how about a character with fire attributes?]
“Oh, that sounds good?”
– Wow, haha!
– For real, that’s Kongming for you.
– Why is he so wise??
– This is unbelievable, haha!
As expected, it’s Kongming.
He suggests the best methods to his lord.
“Then who would be good?”
[If we’re talking defense and fire, isn’t it Wu? We could pick between Liu Shan or Zhou Yu.]
“That fits perfectly.”
Hmm.
Liu Shan feels too much like he’s against Shu, so maybe Zhou Yu is better?
It would look weird for Guan Yu and Liu Shan to be together.
[Let’s go!]
[As expected, it’s Lu Bu!]
Well, there is that Lu Bu too.
– That guy, haha!
– Did he really bring Lu Bu with him?
– How old is he? His voice gives off serious labor uncle vibes.
By the way, this Lu Bu is close to the 40s.
What did he say? Did he come from watching my Three Kingdoms game?
I heard he was also a castle lord from some famous RPG game back in his youth, so he definitely has the experience.
Anyway.
Thus, we continued hunting the higher-tier mob, the Captain of the Soldiers.
[Look at me!]
With my Zhang Fei confidently drawing the aggro of the surrounding monsters and taking hits like a turtle.
Huang Zhong quickly shot arrows at the targeted monsters and focused-fire to take them down.
And with Zhuge Liang’s support, the wind magician.
When we hunted hard together, the monsters quickly disappeared from the hunting ground.
“We’ve cleared this area.”
[Yes! Thanks to you, brother!]
[Everyone worked hard.]
– Wow, haha!
– No, this hunting is really fast!
– Already harvested it.
– Their skills are confirmed concept characters…
After clearing all the monsters in the hunting ground and waiting for respawns, I can’t help but feel proud.
Is this the joy of playing an RPG game?
[I’ve collected all the loot here.]
“Oh, great.”
Once we gathered all the loot that had dropped on the ground, the first round of hunting was complete.
The soldiers will take some time to respawn, so we should wait for our stamina or skill cooldowns.
“How have you all been lately?”
[I’m pretty much the same.]
[Lately, I’ve been getting scolded often at work because of this game.]
[Ah, I’m also hearing some things from my wife these days….]
– ???
– No way, haha!
– Don’t break character
– This is exactly why they seem like uncles…
– Why is the age group of only this mercenary group like this? Haha!
As we waited for respawn, while dropping our character and having light chat,
Ding-!
A notification popped up with a whisper.
[If you’re coming to the gathering, don’t hesitate to come!]
That caught me by surprise; it was a reply to the whisper I sent Anna earlier.
– Ah, haha!
– She’s replying now
– Let’s go, let’s go!
– What a delayed response, haha!
“Hmmm.”
If she sent a whisper like that, it means it’s okay to go, right?
Since I wanted to check it out anyway, I stood up from my seat.
“Everyone, keep hunting. I’ll check on the members for a moment.”
[Yes, understood!]
The hunting ground isn’t going to collapse just because I’m not there.
Though things will be noticeably slower.
No matter how hard they try, it won’t be easy for the mercenaries to catch up due to the bonuses belonging to the Celestial Realm members.
Anyway.
Leaving the overly enthusiastic mercenaries behind, I headed to Anna’s House for the gathering.
“Is this it?”
Since this Celestial Realm server has all sorts of systems, you could buy houses too.
The farther you are from the city, the cheaper it gets.
So, Anna’s House is quite far from the town.
To be precise, it was situated on a hill close to the wild boar hunting grounds.
“But it looks nice on the outside?”
– For real
– There’s even a yard, haha!
– What a cozy place
– It’s surprisingly nice to have a home
“Hmmm.”
Should I buy a house after forming the guild?
Building and decorating a house seems pretty fun in its own way.
After all, I do have artistic sensibility.
As proven in Minecraft, I have the potential to be an outstanding architect and interior designer.
“Is Anna here?”
I approached the cabin and called out for Anna.
[Yes, I’m here!]
Immediately, I heard her response and the door to the cabin opened.
[Come in! Others are in the garden!]
“Okay, I’ll go in.”
Anna’s cabin gives off more of a laboratory vibe than a home feeling.
Because in the center of the living room, there’s a long table like a workbench, and the kitchen is set up for alchemical experiments rather than cooking.
I heard she chose alchemist as her secondary job.
She must be working hard on her skills at home.
“Are you making potions well?”
[Potions? Yeah, they’re okay!]
As I was curious, I noticed the experiment table where she made potions.
With potion prices being outrageous recently, should I buy some from Anna?
“How much is each?”
[Strength or agility enhancement potions are 100 gold!]
“Oh, really….”
They are probably the most inferior quality potions, but 100 gold is reasonable for a purchase.
“I’ll make a bulk order later.”
[Oh, that would be great!]
– Wow, haha!
– Big spender Miro, whoa!
– Potion prices are getting crazy.
Anyway, after that, I headed through the house to the back door leading to the garden.
[Everyone’s happy that you’ve come, Miro.]
“Oh, really?”
[Yeah, it’s rare to see your face.]
“Hahaha… but we’ve been hunting together often recently.”
Weren’t we comrades who hunted the Orc Chieftain together the other day?
That raid was truly brutal.
It might have been the hardest raid since the whale-catching incident.
– Damn, I remember waiting for the last hit during the raid, haha.
– <ㅡㅡㅡ This guy almost ruined the raid!
- Just a selfish goat!
- If the people who did it with us are around, aren’t they getting stabbed by knives?
"Oh come on, stop slandering."
I momentarily got distracted by the initial rewards during the hunt, but in the end, I contributed the most, right?
That's what matters.
[What are you talking about?]
"The viewers are trying to incite again."
[Ah! That happens sometimes!]
- No way!
- Ugh
- This is so unfair..
- Can’t chill, huh?
- You wanna fight now??
"Everyone, calm down. There are juniors here too, you know?"
I said that to the audience as I scanned the juniors gathered in the garden.
From the 3rd to 4th generation.
Not everyone is here, but there are six of them.
It feels like only three from each batch showed up.
[Wow, Miro-senpai!]
[Welcome!]
As I arrived, the juniors stood up and greeted me warmly.
There are a good number of familiar faces now.
I even see a junior who just competed with us at the hunting ground yesterday.
"It's nice to see you all."
So, after greeting, I took my seat.
With me and Anna joining, a whopping eight people gathered at the table.
With the mercenaries each of these members have, how many do we have in total?
It should still be in the dozens...
Should I suggest a light raid later?
Since people gathered, it might not be a bad idea to sneak in and try a raid attempt.
