Chapter 65

What if we told office workers who get depressed every Sunday evening this?

If you don’t want to get the Monday blues, just go to work on Sunday.

If you want to succeed, become obsessed with your company like a manga character.

Any ordinary office worker hearing this would raise their fist and tell you to stop talking bullshit.

However, the world is vast, and such people exist even in America.

Gonau Soft, the production company of the ‘Assassin Series’.

Development team leader Choi Ji-man’s steps were lighter than ever.

“Hehe.”

Choi Ji-man, who had arrived in front of the company, flashed a wide grin.

His thick beard and white teeth created a striking contrast.

Officially, he was currently on vacation.

During vacation periods, office workers usually avoid making appointments near the company.

Yet he gladly pushed open the company’s front gate.

“Team leader?”

“What brings you here? You took time off.”

“Don’t tell me…”

Not just the team members, but everyone in the company knew Choi Ji-man’s nickname.

Romantic pervert developer.

It was a nickname that suited him perfectly, having both the romance and madness of a developer.

“I came to see the CEO.”

“Team leader. I have pretty good intuition. What kind of trouble are you planning to cause this time?”

“Hey. I’m here to make the best proposal for ‘Gonau Soft’s’ future and vision.”

“Every time you say something that grandiose, trouble follows.”

“Tsk.”

Choi Ji-man pushed the team member’s forehead away with his index finger.

His unstoppable steps headed toward the CEO office.

Knock knock knock.

“Come in.”

The CEO, confirming the visitor, grabbed the back of his neck as if getting a headache.

“Damn. Is that you, Ji-man Choi? Why didn’t you just stay home quietly during your vacation?”

“I prefer being at the company. What’s fun about an empty home?”

“I’m telling you to stay home for our sake. Even the related departments are all crying because of your excessive passion.”

“I guess everyone’s company loyalty is terrible.”

The CEO grimaced and gestured toward the sofa with his chin.

Choi Ji-man sat down on the sofa as if familiar with it.

Then he immediately started talking business.

“Untouchable. Why hasn’t the page been updated yet?”

“…Isn’t that usually the kind of question I should be asking? What’s Untouchable?”

“You know, what I got confirmed before. The page we agreed to post when someone hits the highest rank in the ‘Assassin Series’.”

“Ah. That thing.”

As if just remembering, the CEO put on an act.

“Right. We should start production. Soon.”

“There’s no need to produce it. I already made all the designs before.”

“Come on. Is that really so important? Preserving one user ID with good records?”

“Of course it’s important. For gamers, the honor of being good at games is everything. CEO, you don’t seem to understand what emotions drive our company’s sales.”

The way he sat on the sofa.

Even his tone when talking to the CEO.

In normal circumstances, he would have been picked up with the sofa and thrown out of the company.

However, the CEO couldn’t do that.

The rapid growth of ‘Gonau Soft’ so far was absolutely dependent on that crazy pervert developer’s skills.

“I know too. I just wanted to say there’s no rush. We never promised when we’d make the Untouchable page, did we?”

“Please push the related departments a bit. Still, it would look good if we made it before that user comes to America.”

“Coming to America? What are you talking about?”

“I told you before. Let’s bring that user in as a new game tester.”

“That story again? I told you to go to the marketing department for that kind of thing.”

“If I go to the marketing department, they’ll tell me to talk to the CEO.”

“You know well.”

Gonau Soft’s CEO grinned widely.

It was a smile as huge as his big head.

“Well, I won’t say it’s because of money. But you know too. How picky those Singularity guys are. Would they feel good if some stranger just sits in their spot?”

“Is catering to those guys’ moods more important? Is that what you’re saying?”

“If they decide to push us, hitting number 1 in sales rankings is nothing. We’re not the only ones requesting tests, so why create discord unnecessarily?”

“Oh ho.”

As if he just realized something, Choi Ji-man’s cheek twitched.

“Now I see there was a reason the page upload was delayed? Because you were watching those precious Singularities’ reactions.”

“It’s not like that…”

“What excellent work. Does a major game development company run its business by watching Singularities’ reactions?”

“It’s not just watching Singularities. We’re accepting all of your damn demands too.”

“A promise is a promise. You remember the conditions I set while pulling all-nighters like it was nothing, right?”

“I know, I know. ‘If a gamer appears who meets my standards, please register that honorable name permanently.'”

The CEO thought to himself.

I did make that promise.

I just never thought there’d actually be someone who could clear that insane difficulty.

“Untouchable page registration. Official invitation of that user as a tester. Please make sure to keep both of these.”

“Who the hell is this guy anyway? The way you talk, I’d think he was your blood brother. Is that it?”

“Not at all. But I do feel closer to him than a brother. Since we’re talking about it, could you also put up some ads for my new brother?”

Inviting him to the new page as a tester was already a huge headache.

Choi Ji-man was going one step further and demanding advertisements too.

As if he had no more strength to play along, the CEO’s voice changed.

“Listen here, Ji-man Choi. Your demands are already overflowing. Stop now and quietly go home to cool your head.”

Choi Ji-man stood up without hesitation.

Considering his usual style, the CEO would soon give the order.

As Choi Ji-man was about to leave the office, the CEO asked toward his back.

“That user you love so much. What was his nickname again?”

Choi Ji-man only turned his head to answer.

“Gwanjong Cheonma. The best gamer.”

* * *

“I’ll start now.”

Hae-rang, who had connected to the capsule, sent a signal.

【Choi Gang Gang-sik : OK】

Choi Gang-sik turned on the broadcast and swallowed his dry saliva.

‘I wonder how this will turn out?’

Today Gwanjong Cheonma is starting a new game.

It’s not always good when streamers play new games every time.

There’s the advantage of giving viewers freshness,

but viewers who dislike that game might leave the channel.

In the worst case, just choosing a new game can cause average viewership to drop significantly.

This was why Choi Gang-sik was nervous.

How would the viewers react to Gwanjong Cheonma’s new game?

“Hello everyone! Dear viewers!”

-Oh my! Has the cult leader arrived!

Ah shit ㅡㅡ I thought I was first but I’m late;;

-Gwan-ha-gwan-ha!

-Our Gwanjong-nim has arrived!

-I took a day off to watch today’s broadcast!

-The living legend of Assassin Revenge!

-Attention seeker! Did you see the YouTube view count? It already passed 50,000 ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

“Yes. I checked too. It’s all thanks to you viewers here.”

Hae-rang bowed his head and greeted politely.

The high YouTube view count was entirely thanks to the channel’s viewers.

Such view counts were possible because they frequently visited not only the live broadcasts but also the YouTube channel.

-I’ve been totally pushing my friends lately (hehe) telling them to watch hyung’s attention-seeking broadcast lol

-Me too, me too. But there’s one problem. The kids don’t believe what I’m saying ㅠㅠ

└ For real lmaooooo whenever attention-seeker hyung tells us he cleared a stage, everyone tells him to stop lying lol

└Even being too good is a problem lol

-But what was that weird greeting at the end of the video? With the roses and text and smile emoji, it was so cringe. Why is your sense like that? lol for real

“Ah, that’s…”

Hae-rang was about to answer something but opened his eyes wide.

Even before he could speak, criticism was pouring down on that viewer.

└This bastard seems like a fucking newbie but he’s crossing the line ㅡㅡ

└Hey. Do you know who edits that?

└If you enjoyed watching, just shut up, why are you babbling about this and that??

└Don’t you know? If you don’t know, you should get beaten!

└I hate bastards who run their mouths carelessly like that the most;;;

-No. Why. What did I do wrong ㅇㅅㅇ

└The editor is an attention-seeking mom ㅇㅇㅇ

└So you just dissed Gwanjong hyung’s mother. Got it?

└Manager! Let’s kick this bastard out!

-I had no idea;; I heard that Gwanjong Cheonma’s stream was funny so I was coming back after watching the highlights ㅠㅠㅠ

As the chat window became chaotic, manager Choi Gang-sik stepped in directly.

【Choi Gang-sik : Don’t be too harsh on them. It’s also our fault for not announcing it beforehand. We’ll add it as one of our announcements from now on.】

-Wow. Look at the manager’s tolerance.

-Even dismemberment wouldn’t be enough punishment.

-Hey. Now that you know, just shut up and watch quietly

-It’d be nice if you donated too ^^

Choi Gang-sik nodded after checking the chat atmosphere.

‘Right. It was just my worry. The viewers are already completely captivated by Hae-rang.’

The formation of an attachment relationship between streamer and viewers.

That’s the biggest goal of game broadcasting.

The stronger that relationship, the less the game genre matters.

Because what’s important is that ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’ is playing the game, regardless of which game it is.

Look how they swarm like bees when someone slightly disses Hae-rang’s mother.

It’s fine.

It’ll be fine.

There’s no risk from Hae-rang playing a new game.

“Thank you for even watching the YouTube highlights.”

Hae-rang even thanked the viewer who had dissed the editor.

That user shedding tears in the chat might become Hae-rang’s follower for life.

Meanwhile, Hae-rang’s viewers flood in like a tide.

One thousand.

Two thousand.

Three thousand.

And eventually, it surpassed five thousand.

-Wow! Five thousand viewers!

-My little attention-seeker has become a celebrity now ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Even I would come to watch ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyone who’s seen the YouTube highlights is bound to come in!

-For real, how can you resist that?

Confirming the five thousand viewers, Hae-rang finally made an announcement.

“From now on, I’m going to play a new game. The new game is ‘Survival Ground’.”

-Ooooooooh! What we’ve been waiting for has come!

-Finally playing a major game!

-Let’s gooooooooo

-Gwanjong Cheonma’s first FPS game!

-Wow, they’re doing survival ㄷㄷㄷㄷ That can’t be easy

-For real, it’s different from the Assassin series where you only fight NPCs

-Can he beat those veterans piled up like mountains there;;;

-Don’t doubt him. Our Gwanjong is the man who defeated Gold rank when he was Beginner rank.

-Are fighting games and FPS the same thing? This isn’t even a game where you just need to be good at shooting ㅡㅡ

-Hahaha this should be fun. Will our attention-seeking streamer conquer even the battle royale FPS genre!

-If he climbs ranks later, he might meet Singularity too??

Hae-rang slowly nodded.

Meeting Singularity.

That was one of the reasons he chose ‘Survival Ground’.

If he participates in ranked matches and achieves Challenger rank, he can meet them.

Of course, right now he’d have to start with the tutorial.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Starting by building up the basics step by step.

That was what Hae-rang did best.

In Street Fighting,

In Jar Game,

And in Iron Fist too.

Hae-rang planned to understand the game until he was satisfied.

“First, I’ll purchase the game.”

Hae-rang moved the capsule screen and selected ‘Survival Ground’.

The price was one million won.

It was twice as expensive as Iron Fist Seven, but it was fine.

The profits he’d earned from broadcasting had accumulated considerably in Hae-rang’s account.

-Hahaha there’s a stream that starts with buying the game?

-Isn’t this perfect newbie verification? You can’t buy the same game twice.

-The sense to thoroughly block rigging suspicions from the start!

-Our Gwanjong’s channel is public broadcasting!

Along with the flooding chat, Hae-rang pressed the ‘Survival Ground’ launch button.

Flash!

At the same time, a white flash struck before Hae-rang’s eyes.
