Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 631

A few days after receiving an assignment from composer Kang Woo-hyeon to write lyrics.

Soo-hyun still had not written any lyrics.

Instead, the broadcast time had only increased.

He would sit down every day, pondering over the lyrics, and when frustrated, switch on the broadcast instead.

“Is everyone ready?”

However, today was different from those impulsive broadcasts.

It was finally a day with regular broadcast content.

It was the judging day for the Miro Cup Romance of the Three Kingdoms tournament, which had just been held.

This tournament, where Soo-hyun had staked two tickets, was special.

Since the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game was not online and the skill levels of the participants varied greatly, it was conducted in a unique manner.

It wasn’t about who could clear it the fastest.

Rather, it focused on who could clear it in the most special way.

There were three evaluation criteria.

Story progression, entertainment value of the narrative, and narrative structure.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a piece of history as well as a tale of heroes.

Thus, Soo-hyun focused on how the viewers would immerse themselves in that story and in what way they could change the course of history.

It would be great to achieve a Perfect Clear, but it was okay if they couldn’t.

The main criterion for Soo-hyun was how fun and neatly they could conclude their own story.

So, he looked forward to seeing the participants’ works.

It was a competition with a diverse range of participants.

Soo-hyun thought there would surely be stories that could touch his heart… but….

“Wait, why does the protagonist have five wives?”

– Well…

– How can I handle a double character romance?;;

– A harem romance is still a romance, haha.

“Wait, what’s with this character’s stats… Is this Napoleon?”

– Hahahahaha

– A full hexagon? Haha.

– What kind of adversities and challenges are there? Haha.

…They were all just jokes with no sincerity.

Still, it was impressive that they had played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and reached the ending.

But it was a bit different from Soo-hyun’s expectations.

After all, it’s not usually an easy game.

How could they suddenly be asked to do something special?

“Still, everyone is doing well. It’s funny how you pretended to hate it during the broadcast.”

Seeing the viewers who used to dread the Romance of the Three Kingdoms participating like this made him think the tournament itself had meaning.

– Pretending to hate it???

– Hey, you made a bet, didn’t you? Haha.

– Those are just a few mentally ill people;;

– Sold your soul for a ticket?? C’mon.

“I know everyone’s true intentions.”

– Damn it;;;;

– Haha; Hahaha;;

– This is unbelievable.

– Sure, I’ll die today.

“Anyway, it’s still quite exciting.”

Although Soo-hyun had participated a lot, this was the first time he was seeing someone else play.

The tournament format was reminiscent of old-style game serialization, with screenshots and explanations attached.

This also allowed for a decent level of immersion.

“Everyone surprisingly has talent.”

Moreover, to his surprise, the viewers did quite well with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

They held a tournament not with the frequently played old version, but with the new version, which had its own level of difficulty, yet they managed to create great stories.

– Damn, I gave up for two weeks.

– It was pretty hard, haha.

– You asked me knowing that??

– Ugh… I could’ve worked part-time during that time…

…It seemed like they had invested time despite the difficulty.

Their determination was impressive.

“If it were up to me, I’d want to give everyone a ticket…”

He wanted to award tickets just for that determination…

But there were only two left, so it was disappointing.

– Then give it to us ㅡㅡ

– At least say it for real.

– Isn’t there something like a special award?

“Oh, a special award?”

Special award… should I give that?

As Soo-hyun pondered, a lively discussion erupted in the chat room.

– Gimme gimme.

– Please.

– You really have to give that.

Soo-hyun was quite the emotional person.

And the viewers, knowing that he usually had a big-hearted nature rather than being in a constant battle with the chat room, eagerly urged him on.

When it was something absurd to rush him about, he would come down hard.

But for something like this, surely it was permissible to push a little?

And whether it was the viewers’ intentions reaching him or not…

“Hmmm… then what shall I give?”

Soo-hyun thought about what he could offer.

Well, items like plain food or chicken are the basics, but…

Since this was a Romance of the Three Kingdoms tournament, he wanted to give something related.

“How about the Miro Moon Blade? I have some extra at headquarters…”

– No no no.

– That’s not right.

– Seriously? What’s that?

– Just give a reasonable gift certificate??

– Why is it only at times like this?

However, as soon as the Miro Moon Blade, which couldn’t be bought with money, became a prize, the viewers began to act out in pain.

“Didn’t you all want me to give something?”

– Still, that’s not too much ㅡㅡ

– For God’s sake, that should be another item.

– That’s more expensive than a win, haha.

“I can’t listen to your polite words.”

These people should know how to celebrate others’ joys.

Still, looking at the chat room, it seemed that offering the Miro Moon Blade was indeed a bit excessive.

…It was definitely much more expensive than a concert ticket.

Giving that as a special award would be like selling a watermelon for the price of the seeds.

“Then I’ll just give away some other merchandise as the special award.”

– No,,,

– Sigh…

– I’m so jealous…

– What merchandise?

“I don’t know either. Perhaps new popup merchandise that will be released this time.”

First, I’ll ask The Six.

If there are no leftover stocks at the headquarters, then I’ll have to give new merchandise.

– Got it.

– Okay okay.

– How much merchandise will come out this time?

“This time? Hmm, you won’t have to worry about it being sold out.”

With Sangshik Entertainment being a company that handled celebrities, their merchandise production capability was quite robust.

So, they probably wouldn’t need to worry about it being sold out.

…In fact, it was Soo-hyun who was worried about being in the red.

What if they stacked up surplus stock?

Should I ask for some if plushies are left?

As he pictured a scenario where the living room was filled with Miro merchandise dolls, Soo-hyun shook his head.

That might be a bit….

Besides, he already had a vision for his home interior, so unfortunately, he couldn’t take a lot of merchandise home.

The still unfinished Han River view house was supposed to be decorated simply and elegantly, suitable for the quality of the owner.

First, the kitchen would resemble the one he had seen at Rain’s house last time.

And for the living room… he would need to think a bit more about it.

Since his living room is quite spacious.

Furthermore, since one wall is made of full glass, the difficulty of the interior design would be a bit higher.

Anyway.

At some point, Soo-hyun, who had been contemplating the living room interior, snapped back to reality.

“Hmm, what was I talking about?”

– Haha hahaha.

– Seriously, can I not worry??

– Is there a quantity limit per person?

Ah, they were discussing merchandise right now.

“There’s no quantity limit, so please buy a lot. We’re also planning an event where if you certify your merchandise in the café, you can get a prize.”

– Really??

– What’s that prize??

“Ah… Did I not say I shouldn’t? It was supposed to be a secret…”

– ?

– ??

– Hahahahaha.

– Viral marketing, haha.

– Fact) It was actually okay to say.

Pretending like it was a secret for viral marketing, Soo-hyun was caught by the perceptive viewers.

“Hahaha, just kidding. The prize is… well, it’s not decided yet, but how about making it the Miro Moon Blade?”

– Oh.

– Gimme gimme gimme.

– That sounds good, haha.

– If we buy more, does the chance of winning increase?

…Before, they had been so opposed to it.

This time, since they thought they might be able to grab it themselves, the atmosphere was one of active agreement.

“Winning chance? I’m not sure about that.”

If they buy more, should I give more tickets?

That seems a bit fairer.

“Well, anyway, let’s resume the judging for the tournament.”

While talking, they had somehow arrived at the merchandise discussion.

Soo-hyun glanced over the tournament entries in the café again.

Well, it seemed that everyone’s thoughts were pretty similar. There were plenty of entries with similar content, but…

Every so often, there were players who showed performances that could astonish even Soo-hyun himself.

Among them, one particular post caught his eye.

[The Best in the World (天下第一人)]

With a brief title that immediately exuded mastery.

From the title, a feeling of a Romance of the Three Kingdoms expert came forth.

“I think we have an artisan in the house.”

– Whoa!

– Something big is coming, haha.

– How old do you think this person is? Haha.

– They’re probably all into Romance of the Three Kingdoms now, haha.

“Let’s take a look?”

Having only seen the MZ-style posts so far, Soo-hyun slowly scrolled down the post with anticipation.

And the content of the post fully satisfied his expectations.

Creating a character with a strength level of 1.

Gradually setting rivals among the surrounding characters and reaching the end of nothingness.

The content was too long to describe in full, but….

– Wow, haha.

– This is it.

– Whoa, this is incredible, haha.

– Can they actually win this??

– Wait, wait… what?

The depiction of a local youth who had battled with Michuk finally capturing Lu Bu (75 years old, strength 121) through a story twist was incredibly moving for both Soo-hyun and the viewers alike.

“This is a strong contender for victory.”

The writing was well-structured, and the rise and fall of the story was clean.

Moreover, the final showdown was gripping enough to make viewers clench their fists, making it a worthy contender for the winner’s spot.

– For real.

– Haha, the aboriginal person has come!

– It feels like a martial arts story now, haha.

Even the discerning viewers readily acknowledged this.

“Now, let’s look at the next post….”

Speaking of which, seeing the viewers enjoying the Romance of the Three Kingdoms prompted something to begin to rise within Soo-hyun.

“This next piece….”

– Gimme gimme.

– I’m kinda looking forward to this, haha.

– Was that the peak?

It had originally been a game he played alone.

Now that the viewers were eager for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it felt strangely gratifying.

He felt proud for no reason, as if he had succeeded in spreading his passion.

It seemed like the viewers would feel the same joy he had experienced….

“Ah.”

– ?

– ??

– What’s with the ‘ah’?

Soo-hyun paused his mouse movement as he scrolled down the post.

This was how he felt about the viewers.

Right.

At the beginning of the broadcast, he wanted to show them the reflection of himself that he had only seen in the mirror.

Then, he wanted to share songs, drawings, and games.

He had always wished to share what he enjoyed alone.

As he realized his own feelings,

Soo-hyun felt a rush of inspiration blooming in his mind.

“I’ll continue the remaining judging tomorrow.”

– ??

– ?

– Where are you going?

– Hey, don’t leave until you’ve seen everything.

– No, wait.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

That early morning, Soo-hyun filled his notebook with writing that he had left empty until then.

“Ugh, ugh….”

Later, when he slumped over his desk until morning, there was a small word written at the top of the notebook: “Sharing.”
