Chapter 201
It’s been a few days since I went on break.
At first, I was okay since I had some time to relax and had meetings about Hyeon-su’s concert…
But honestly, I’m starting to feel a bit worn out.
After all, I used to broadcast almost every day, even if it was just for a short time.
Not doing it makes life feel empty, if that makes any sense?
“Hmm…”
And so, right now, I’m pondering an important dilemma after a long time.
Specifically…
“Is it okay to start the broadcast…?”
I’m contemplating whether or not I should go live.
I’ve intentionally avoided the community.
Well, it’s just that… it feels a bit awkward to peek.
I’ve heard from the members that my name has been spotted in the ending credits, but honestly, I don’t really mind that.
What’s important is whether to broadcast or not.
I posted an indefinite hiatus notice, but I can’t keep it up forever.
But then again, if I turn it on and the chat goes wild with trolls, that’s going to be a hassle, right?
“Hmm…”
After thinking while all set up in the soundproof booth, I finally made up my mind.
Thinking back, when did I even start caring that much?
*Crack!*
*Tap, tap*
[Miro Returns]
The moment I made my decision, I just turned it on.
-????
-What’s this?
-Is the broadcast on??
Since it was a sudden broadcast without much notice after my hiatus, confusion filled the chat from the start.
“Hello, everyone.”
-Is it really live?
-I’m glad, but haha!
-Damn, it’s bold of you!
“So, what should we do today?”
While the viewers are still flustered seeing me so composed, I need to take charge.
But they still seem a bit puzzled, so if I transition well into content…
[Thank you for the 1,000 Won donation, OOO.
There’s a new movie out; how about we do a review? Haha, was it ‘Sheet Music’? The actress was pretty, though!]
“Oh hahaha.”
…That was fast.
It hasn’t even been a minute since I went live.
Did someone rush in after seeing the notification and drop a donation?
That’s ruthless.
-Hahaha!
-For real.
-I think the actress’s name was… Kim? Anyway, it was someone with the last name Kim…
“Oh, I haven’t seen the movie, so please don’t spoil it.”
I did see it quicker than anyone else at the screening, but I decided to tell a white lie for the sake of broadcasting peace…
-You were there, though, haha.
-Don’t actors go see the screenings or something?
-No way, Miro… didn’t watch it? Why is that? Haha.
“Eh.”
I don’t know, I don’t know.
I simply booted up Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Did I ask what I should do?
But you guys are the ones who brought up the movie!
-No, what the hell.
-Don’t run away, damn it haha.
-Why did you suddenly turn it on?
“I don’t know, I don’t know.”
I attempted to resolve it through conversation, but that’s not going to work.
I don’t know, I don’t know. I will just boot up Romance of the Three Kingdoms before I get targeted. Eh eh eh.
“This edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a bit different.”
It would be boring to keep doing the same version, so I brought a different one.
-???
-Dude, what’s different in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
-So Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shao are still the same, right?
“Oh ho, it’s distinctly different.”
If the one I usually did was the monarch version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then this time…
“I brought the general version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”
The usual Romance of the Three Kingdoms where the monarchs grew their forces is different from this game, which is a work from the same company but allows you to become a general and serve under the monarch.
Becoming the admired general is the foundation, but with high freedom, you can do other things too.
You can rise in arms or start a rebellion to become a monarch, be a strategist, or even become a thief and pillage; it’s a version with high freedom.
“What do you think? Sounds thrilling, right? My heart’s racing.”
-Pffft.
-Shut it.
-Damn it.
Well, the chat reactions are pretty much as usual.
Since it was an impromptu broadcast, it looks like only my loyal viewers are here at the start.
As long as I can keep from being targeted and random newcomers don’t come in, it should be fine.
They’re viewers who still keep boundaries, after all.
Some have been here for over a year. They won’t just chat carelessly…
-So when are we watching the movie?
-Will the next film be about Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
-The general version, damn it…
-Ow! Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too good, Sergeant Kim Soo-hyun, please hold back!
…Hmm.
*Clack.*
Looking at the chat, I decided to employ a technique I had used before.
Switching to subscriber-only chat.
This means, if you want to troll in the chat, you’ll have to pay with a subscription.
-If you don’t turn off Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I’m going to get the free official download of the movie right now…
…Might not be of much use, but it’s something.
“Okay, let’s go with the scenario of the warlords, and who should be the general?”
-Damn it, go with Zhao Zilong!
-Romance of the Three Kingdoms is lame… Must be a macho, let’s do this!
-I really don’t want to end Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I hope you’ll at least do Guo Jia.
-Let’s go with Ye Ling-ji!
Look at this, when asked, everyone starts popping out their generals.
I think about half of these are people I forced to learn Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but still.
“Still, the unsung general is good… how about Xu Huang?”
-Xu Huang is good.
-So you’re saying it’s still not Zhao Zilong?
-Let’s do this!
-Why not? Damn it.
And so, I chose Xu Huang and started the game.
Of course, the difficulty is set to hard.
Even if I’m playing as a general, my experience from before won’t go to waste.
“Alright, now let’s head to meet the historical officers.”
At first, since I’m an unsung general, I plan to run to the monarch I want and request an appointment.
Being a thief or doing something else also seems fun, but for now, since it’s the general version, let’s try being a general first.
-Who should I go to?
-Cao Cao, let’s go!
-But where?
“Of course it’s Kong Songchan.”
I’m going to fulfill the dream I couldn’t achieve while playing as a monarch.
Here goes the undefeated general, Xu Huang.
-Damn it.
-This sucks.
-Another Songchan?
-Please let’s enter Cao Cao’s force.
-Call me when Romance of the Three Kingdoms is over.
Anyway, I happily started the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game.
And exactly 30 minutes later.
“Wow, there are so many viewers.”
-True haha.
-Feels like everyone came back from the movie haha.
-Haha, chat it up, dummies haha.
-So many people joined haha.
-Did they finally target me?
Whether I was targeted or not, the viewers had massively increased.
Thanks to setting it to subscriber-only, the chat wasn’t wildly chaotic.
-Now now, this person isn’t the actor Kim Soo-hyun!
-If you want Miro’s autograph, line up!
-So what did everyone think of the movie?
…It’s more of an issue with the subscribers.
Did everyone lose their minds?
Do they all want to get slaughtered?
For a moment, I considered lining them up and taking them out with a ban hammer, but I ultimately dropped the thought.
Well, I didn’t keep it too hidden, so I can’t exactly blame them for coming out like this.
“Okay, okay, since you’re all here, take a look at this.”
Even though I can’t exactly solve the chat, since more viewers have joined, should I continue the broadcast?
“Here’s our friend, Xu Huang.”
First, I should probably repeat the explanation I gave to the previous viewers.
-Please stop explaining.
-Here we go again, damn it.
-He’s an undefeated general using an axe, and while he hasn’t been recognized much in the novels, there’s a lot of talk about him in the historical accounts, so I don’t really need to explain that part.
“Yes, just check the chat for Xu Huang’s description, and this is Kong Songchan.”
-Damn haha!
-Can’t even comprehend this anymore haha.
-Trolls coming from the coordinate points, rushing back haha.
-This place’s like stepping on ants, huh?
[Thank you for the 1,000 Won donation!]
Damn it, the top star Han Hye-jin I saw on the screen has been replaced by a crazy Romantic of the Three Kingdoms fan here.
-For real haha!
-Can you confirm it’s the same person?
-This isn’t even a match.
“…I’m not really sure who Han Hye-jin is, but anyway, the current situation is….”
[Thank you for the 1,000 Won donation!]
Damn it, the singer Miro I saw on YouTube has been replaced by a crazy Romantic of the Three Kingdoms fan here.
“Oh ho.”
-Hahaha!
-For real…
-If you’re a singer, just sing rather than doing Romance of the Three Kingdoms haha.
A fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms! This is the first time I’ve turned the game on in forever.
Since the announcement of the guitar competition winner, this is my first time back on air.
I’ve been consistently working hard on my broadcasts, so I don’t want to be misrepresented.
“Okay, everyone, calm down, and shall we head out? The friend going out with us is Zhao Zilong, a famous character…”
-Damn.
-This is basically a massacre haha.
-Zhao Zilong’s going to tear it up like it’s nothing haha.
-Call me when Romance of the Three Kingdoms is over.
Saying that, I glanced at the number of viewers dwindling in real-time and chuckled slightly.
This method proves to be effective.
I was a bit worried, but I’m relieved that since I took a break, it hasn’t been as wild as I thought.
Well, I don’t know what will happen once clips circulate and OTT releases, but for now…
Anyway, I played on with the game.
**
After finishing Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Now that all the ants are nearly cleared out, I thought about doing a brief communication broadcast.
“So, what did everyone think of Romance of the Three Kingdoms?”
-It was fun!
-Next up, I want Zhao Zilong!
-Couldn’t even beat him with Xu Huang, huh?
“…Yuan Shao was just too strong.”
In the end, even with the general version, I couldn’t reach a hundred victories.
The rival forces were just too strong.
[Thank you for the 1,000 Won donation!]
But Miro, you’ve got nothing else, right? Haha, damn if you cause trouble and turn on Romance of the Three Kingdoms again, I won’t forgive you!
“Oh.”
-For real.
-Official comment) Romance of the Three Kingdoms is now fun haha.
-Damn, stop hammering the ants.
-How about switching to another game like Civilization?
Well, given that some viewers who have been regularly watching might find it a bit troublesome.
Those who have watched for a long time probably got used to this, but newcomers might end up getting taken along with the trolls for the ride.
But can this be considered causing trouble?
Huh? In blunt terms, I did something that others can only dream of.
The problem lies not with me but with those trolls who come from the coordinates.
“What, I don’t think I’m particularly causing trouble here…”
-??
-You are though.
-Are you really going to go on YouTube?
“No, no.”
Honestly, even the viewers wouldn’t think it’s trouble.
I’ve seen them pulling out my red drug when comparing me to other streamers in the celestial realm in the community.
It’s always how our Miro’s song was great, and this is how the red drug turned out, and so on…
I know they like me while pretending otherwise.
-So, what’s up next?
-Since we did Romance of the Three Kingdoms today, can you do a karaoke stream tomorrow?
-To be honest, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was fun haha.
At any rate, after the storm passed, the chat atmosphere seems to have calmed down somewhat.
I notice the chat messages becoming warm for a change.
Strange, they’re being all friendly.
However….
“But, is there really nothing else? Uh.”
-???
-What the hell.
-What’s left?
“I mean….”
Spoilers are bad, so I can’t say it outright…
“Shall we wrap it up soon?”
-Oh, damn haha!
-Next up is Ma Teng, right?
-This sucks…
Once Hyeon-su’s concert ends, there really will be nothing left.
Hmm… probably? It should be.
