[TS] Formula One Streamer - Chapter 70

Boring, utterly boring Saturday afternoon at 3 PM.

The clouds are drifting slowly, and the sun is gradually shifting its position.

It was a yawningly dull 3 PM, but the largest For One community in Korea and abroad, Pogalem, was bustling with users.

There were so many posts being generated that if you counted to 10 and refreshed, the page would flip rapidly.

At the center of it all, without fail, was Yooihyun, KING.

Since last night until now, at 3 PM, the buzz about Yooihyun had been relentless.

<KING has appeared!!!>

Oh my, KING, when are you coming??

Is it true you made a run for it yesterday without any explanation??

This is so KING-like…

ㅇㅇ(125.123): hahaha, you’re the streamer you chose. Just do it.

ㄴㅇㅇ(223.62): Shut up.

Until morning, the gallery was abuzz with the escape incident that happened last night.

<Breaking News: Yooihyun appears on Haerari's broadcast>

The monster that escaped yesterday suddenly reappeared, so it’s an appearance, right? Really, haha.

She suggested participating in the Cheongchul Aram event with a random donation after sneaking into the broadcast.

As soon as she received the donation from Haerari, she seemed sleepy and just laid down immediately, haha.

ㅇㅇ(199.203): Did you see? As soon as she checked the donor’s nickname, she collapsed. Even if it’s a concept, I respect it;; KING Haeri!!!

ㄴㅇㅇ(218.54): KING calling Haerari is lame;

Forini*: Is our Hyun’s sister appearing…? Where…?

ㄴ24시포갤상주*: She appeared on Haerari’s broadcast, but she’s gone now. Seems like they went to talk after ending Haeri’s stream.

ㄴ포창인생*: Wow, KING Sensei… After reaching the pinnacle as a driver, now she’s even stepping into private education programs. I wish I could be her student, d*mn…

ㅇㅇ(59.14): So, what’s the reason for Yooihyun’s escape, d*mn it?

From morning to lunch, the news of her event participation on streamer Haerari’s broadcast dominated the gallery.

When KING went live, just the act of going live caused an uproar in the gallery.

After revealing her identity during the post-race interview yesterday, Yooihyun had suddenly become a world star overnight.

Every action and every word from her became the fluttering wings of a butterfly, creating massive ripples everywhere.

Moreover, what she revealed to the viewers as an explanation for the escape was shocking news.

<Yooihyun participates in Ferrari Test>

Yooihyun’s official announcement revealed on the broadcast.

The escape yesterday happened because F1 team Ferrari’s director Mattia Binotto came personally, leaving her with no choice.

Since the director came personally and Yooihyun beat Rekl, considering those two points, she seems to be a second driver on the surface but essentially the first driver.

Summary in three lines:

A Korean has become Ferrari’s driver.

성이름*: Wow, the first Korean Ferrari driver, KING;;;

ㄴㅇㅇ(104.28): Not really surprising. With the physique she showed in the competition, she could join any team.

ㄴㅇㅇ(220.278): True, but I didn’t expect her to join Ferrari. When it comes to history, honor, and symbolism, there’s no team like Ferrari, but right now they’re in a hell of a mess…

For Love KING*: I think red, which is Yooihyun’s signature color, suits her really well!

ㄴㅇㅇ(112.65): Thinking about it, Yooihyun has always had red race cars. Did she go to Ferrari because of the Tifosi?

ㅇㅇ(42.82): It’s a shame she didn’t go to a better team, but I guess we should be satisfied with the first Korean F1 driver since Yoo Seon-jin.

Jeoktomatan*: I hope Yooihyun, KING, shines brightly in F1 competitions. I hope to see you in F1 someday…

ㄴㅇㅇ(125.45): National team man… Please do your best.

Yooihyun’s participation in the Ferrari Test was already being reported on various portal sites as well as Pogalem.

The status and popularity of F1 have reached unprecedented heights, stretching into the universe.

For a Korean to become an F1 driver means enormous promotional effects nationally.

I couldn’t even begin to imagine the secondary profits that could arise from tourism and other sources from the figure of Yooihyun.

Thus, the gallery, which had been revolving around the buzz of Yooihyun all day long, briefly paused its frenzy.

<Where did all these guys go??>

What happened? I just went to the bathroom and everyone disappeared;;

Is there some buzz I don’t know about?

ㅇㅇ(223.23): KING is selecting 4 people for the special lecture on a first-come-first-served basis, so everyone dashed out!

ㄴㅇㅇ(178.29): Considering the response, the author must have left too, haha.

[Current live viewer count: 273,983]

“Suddenly, the viewer count is increasing.”

It was puzzling how so many people popped up out of nowhere when there wasn’t even a competition.

After declaring they’d randomly select 4 out of the viewers who supported, the number jumped from 100,000 to 200,000, which was astonishing.

The idea that so many people moved with just my words is a feeling I’d feel every time, no matter how many times I experienced it.

Right. Like Kang Ho-yun said, it’s true I’m not an ordinary person anymore.

[Hello, KING. I came from For One Gallery^^7]

[I’m from Pogalem. You’re doing an educational broadcast?]

[Pogalem fighting! Pogalem fighting! Pogalem fighting! Pogalem fighting!]

[How do I participate in the special lecture?]

[d*mn it, get rid of all the Pogalem newcomers!!!]

[Competitors are increasing… I’m giving up.]

[Hah, the viewer count jumped by 100,000 in just a minute after declaring the special lecture, haha.]

[I love you, Hyun! Teach me something other than driving, heh…]

[What’s with saying that to minors?]

[So, what’s the participation requirement, d*mn it?]

[We don’t know either;;; She hasn’t said yet.]

The sharp confrontation between the existing viewers and the Pogalem members made it seem like I should quickly shift my focus back to the primary goal of selecting students.

“From now on, I’ll randomly select 4 people from those who support, regardless of the amount, in one minute. Please make sure to include your nickname, tag, and rank in the donation message.”

The system for streamers like me, who are in a tough situation without managers, was well-prepared in Kiwich.

The activated program automatically collected the applicants and conducted the selection, soon 4 students were chosen.

[Mr. Science No.5#111 – F5]

[Mr. Kingslayer#1599 – F8]

[Let’s Race Together#2300 – F7]

[Podium’s Own#156 – F3]

“Drawing is over. I’ll check if you’re here and invite you right away. If so, please reply with a donation message. Just 1,000 won.”

《Mr. Science No.5 has donated 100,000 won!》

-Teacher’s lecture for just 1,000 won? By the way, my younger sibling is…

“Is your sibling Mr. Science No.3? Having two scientists is a bit tricky, though.”

After deactivating the donations from those who were not selected, answers came back quickly from Mr. Science No.5.

“Welcome. Skipping the greetings, please set it up for a pit stop on soft tires and do 5 laps.”

Entering the room, we immediately started the serious educational broadcast by making them do laps without any greetings.

[Mr. Science No.5#111 – F5]

“Wow… Is this really happening?”

Mr. Science No.5, Kim Min-kyu, who had won the absurd odds of 75,000 to 1 to attend KING’s special lecture, was jumping with joy.

It’s KING.

Not just anyone, but that KING.

What more explanation is needed?

Just hearing her nickname makes everyone’s heart race, especially for For One users.

However, that joy didn’t last long…

“Please, someone save me…”

Kim Min-kyu, who had been boringly driving for over 100 laps on the Paul Ricard Circuit, totaling 108 laps, was now turning pale instead of being excited at the thought of being taught by KING.

The engine of the race car seemed to reflect his tired mental state, sounding strangely lethargic.

KING (Everyone): Mr. Science No.5, why are you slowing down? Want to quit?

Mr. Science No.5 (Everyone): Ah, no! Is it the tire? It’s not accelerating as well as I thought…

KING (Everyone): You did a pit stop three laps ago. Does that make sense?

If even a hint of dropping performance was shown, KING’s voice would whip him hard.

However, after forcing himself to keep lapping beyond a hundred times, his already exhausted mind and body could no longer maintain speed.

In the end, despite Yooihyun’s sincere nagging, he achieved a significantly slower lap time of -3 seconds compared to the previous lap.

KING (Everyone): Mr. Science No.5, do you want to get hit?

Mr. Science No.5 (Everyone): Huh?

KING (Everyone): Do you want to get hit? Do you want to get hit?

Mr. Science No.5 (Everyone): …….

[Hahahahaha, is this Yongsan?]

[Hahaha, Computer Pal is among the newcomers]

[Do you want to get hit for the viewers who donate? Haha]

[If you can’t, you should get hit. It’s been said since ancient times that hitting is medicine, haha.]

[Mr. Science No.5 should be beaten for not being able to drive, indeed.]

[Excessive whining, haha.]

[Let’s hit this guy more. I can’t stand seeing this winner succeed further.]

[Are those viewers siding with that insane streamer? That streamer and those viewers, whoa.]

[Wow, I’ll take the hits instead…]

Even the viewers, who thought they were on his side, were siding with that malicious streamer, KING.

“Someone k*ll me…”

This place was no longer a circuit but hell.

“Ugh, how many times do I have to tell you not to hesitate when turning corners? Just hit it. Do you know how blessed you are to learn by hitting? Back in my day……”

[Back in my day…~]

[Wow, d*mn, I just got a massive PTSD from that. Is it just me? Other girls?]

[No, it’s just you.]

[This is like a military-experienced high school girl…?]

[I’ve never heard someone say that from a nineteen-year-old before, haha.]

[Yooihyun, is she a grandpa now?]

[At this point, she’s like a second-life military-experienced high school girl.]

[When exactly did a nineteen-year-old start saying “Back in my day”? Are we talking about her infancy?]

[I wonder what happened to Yooihyun during her early childhood…]

《Green Camp Regular has donated 50,000 won!》

-Yooihyun, which division are you from?

They all complained so much over barely completing 100 laps.

Even when trying to say something nice, graceful words escaped me.

Of course, I hadn’t been just nagging from the start.

“Mr. Science No.5, you’re pressing the brake too hard in the corners. If you do that, you’ll lose speed, and it will put a lot of stress on the chassis. It’s okay to hit it, just try pressing gently and slowly.”

“Let’s Race Together, in the straightaways, full acceleration is basic. Accelerating while passing the apex is best, but since that might be too much, try accelerating at the end of the exit.”

“I will mark the racing line for Mr. Kingslayer, so your first goal is to try to follow that as closely as possible.”

“Podium’s Own, you’re basic at F3, but try turning on DRS a bit earlier and turning it off later. That 0.1 seconds for turning it on and off is somewhat regrettable. Watch out for the corners too.”

How warm was this feedback?

Therefore, I was saying that I wasn’t just being a grandpa from the beginning.

But who would’ve thought?

Even after over 50 laps, there was no improvement in their driving.

“Wow! Mr. Kingslayer is doing great. Perfect for demotion.”

“Let’s Race Together, you can’t race like that. Would you rather drive alone? From the back.”

“Podium’s Own, don’t you have a DRS button on your steering wheel? Or did your fingers break?”

Despite having offered tailored feedback considering the different ranks of the four, it was their lack of change that had turned me into this.

When Mr. Science No.5, who was the least responsive, started whining.

“Mr. Science No.5, do you want to get hit?”

I had unknowingly transformed into a monster.
