Hakko’s enemy is Hakko
Q. Assuming the current time is 7 AM in the morning, if someone here suggested meeting tomorrow to drink alcohol, what would be the appropriate date?
1. Today
2. Tomorrow
3. Actually it’s just a casual greeting kind of thing so it’s actually a lie – Example) Let’s grab a meal sometime
‘I thought it would obviously be number 3.’
The Major Corporation members’ natural after-party to collaboration stream connection wasn’t just a casual greeting.
After sleeping with happy feelings while wiggling my toes looking at the donation history showing 2.5 million + 1.35 million won, it was lunchtime.
What greeted me as soon as I woke up was a Deco message.
> Mungi-nim, this is Jjining~
> About meeting today, how about we meet at 7 PM around Itaewon area?
> Oh and by the way, we’re getting a Private Room to drink so you can come comfortably! No need to worry about civilians!
> (Shop address) Dal-geun-nim already booked everything haha
> If you give me your chat ID, I’ll create a group chat and invite you!
> Oh and for clothes, just dress comfortably regardless of the atmosphere hehe
“…Ah, I don’t really like drinking alcohol with strangers.”
Actually, one of the sentences I understand least is ‘people become close while drinking alcohol.’
Whether I drink alcohol or not, my energy level is always the same.
When I see people who change when they drink alcohol, they feel unfamiliar and more awkward.
But.
‘This is an opportunity… to hang out with Major Corporation members.’
This wasn’t just a simple drinking session.
They would obviously broadcast during the after-party too, and it was a chance to properly build recognition.
When 3 Major Corporation members gather, at minimum no matter how bad it gets, about 20,000 viewers would gather.
The opportunity to make my name known to that many people was extremely precious.
And it wasn’t just simply making myself known through games, but blatantly exposing my face.
It could be seen as not bad.
‘Wait? Actually it might be bad?’
Objectively thinking, if we do an outdoor collaboration stream, generally only one person turns on the broadcast.
Then all the viewers would gather on that broadcast.
‘Anyway, it’s right that one of Dal-geun-nim, Babin-nim, or Jjining-nim would turn it on, so… I’m basically just like a one-time guest.’
A position where I briefly appear on someone else’s broadcast, match the atmosphere appropriately, then leave.
Even if I build recognition, I don’t know how long that recognition would last.
The possibility of that leading to viewer influx was extremely low.
But!
‘If I act this calculating, I won’t be able to do anything.’
I completely erased all these calculations of weighing this and that.
Anyway, my goal was to become the king of Garden.
I didn’t have time to get caught up thinking about things like this.
What I needed to focus on right now was how to grow my broadcast further.
That was the only thing that mattered.
Tap, tap.
First, I quickly sent my chat ID to Jjining.
‘So should I say today’s broadcast starts with a collaboration… or would it be better to film my journey there as part of my own broadcast.’
While I was pondering various things like this.
> Hey, did you see the community post?
< ?
Suddenly a message from Ttaranta came flying in.
Community post?
Obviously, I hadn’t done any Ego Searching since the Lera concert incident.
And in the first place, I wasn’t supposed to enter communities where viewers gathered just to check broadcast reactions.
Even if they say good things, how much more would they really say if I kept looking at that stuff.
The moment you start caring about that, your broadcast becomes weird too, and you end up constantly fiddling with your phone trying to gauge public opinion.
It was obvious that a vicious cycle would continue, so I didn’t even start in the first place.
But now all of a sudden?
< I don't do that?
> (link)
> You got suspected of hacking this time
“Hack?”
When I entered the link Ttaranta gave me, I immediately saw a featured gallery post.
[Title: Watching this Dal-geun’s squad collaboration and there are a few scenes that look suspicious of hacking so I brought them]
[Author: Anonymous]
Honestly, they kept getting wrecked during the chicken dinner mission for 11 hours straight, so I thought they’d fail, you know?
And Mungi < this guy was originally pretty good to begin with
But at the end he picked up a Lynx and showed some really ridiculous shots
No, it’s just that the physicality in the last game was insane lol
(Video clip 1 that looks suspicious of hacking)
(Video clip 2 that looks suspicious of hacking)
(Video clip 3 that looks suspicious of hacking)
(Video clip 4 that looks suspicious of hacking)
If you break it down frame by frame for detailed analysis, the Aim Searching is at a level where he just instantly snaps to targets the moment he sees them
To put it bluntly, it’s like he knows the positions in advance
Even if he heard sounds, do you think this makes sense?
Being generous a hundred times over, if he was originally really good or a former pro or preparing for pro or is a pro, then I’d agree
But according to what his old viewers said, this bastard was complete trash who never got a single chicken dinner
But suddenly during a collaboration he goes into Super Carry mode and leads the team, eventually even carrying them to a chicken dinner at the end?
Doesn’t something seem strange?
Used hacks lightly for 11 hours, then once donations piled up to a certain extent, just turned on the hacks properly and farmed – that’s the feeling I get
I think it’s almost certain
Everyone can judge for themselves ㅇㅇ
[Upvotes:152][Downvotes:31]
Damn bastard, shove your opinions and let everyone judge for themselves ㅇㅇ < What bullshit, really makes me want to punch you in the jaw with that way of talking
Nah (OP: ㅇㅇ) Can’t refute the message so attacking the messenger lololololol Are you the person involved?
No no, you bastard, I don’t give a damn whether you’re hacking or not, you piece of shit, you’re just fucking disgusting lol
No no (OP: ㅇㅇ) is sneakily trying to change the subject ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Nah but since I captured the broadcast screen live, I can see the username lol
Nah nah, I was wondering why they were suddenly dropping nuclear bait at dawn, but it turned out to be just weak broth lololololol
No no, why are you getting mad because I’m not sympathizing with your master crying?
Honestly, looking at it this way, they’re just incredibly good at it
But wasn’t this someone who wasn’t originally good at it, like a case where they suddenly got better
Hmm, this is a bit strange~
[Title: But even filtering out the minion scope, it’s strange how their skills suddenly improved]
[Author: Anonymous]
I was bored so I did some digging and turns out there are still some videos of this guy’s past bad behavior ㅇㅇ
So I watched them?
(Mungi’s miserable past PUBG video)
(Video of Mungi’s PUBG skills so hideous you can’t bear to watch with your eyes open)
Seems like they played a few matches briefly about a year ago then quit
Someone who was like this suddenly becomes a different person when a ten million won mission comes up? This is a bit ;;;
[Upvotes:42][Downvotes:11]
Well, kinda…
No no, you’re being too unrealistic lololololol
No no lol hahahahaha
No no hahahahahahahahaha
No no, ugh, can’t stop the exercise ham for real~
But honestly, if I say this with a straight face, it really is something worth being suspicious about
ㄴSudenly improved skills < This could totally happen but I wish they’d provide some proof
No no, for real
Nah, for real though, we should probably verify it?
[Title: The reason why hack bait about that bastard has been rolling from dawn until now]
[Author: Vehicle Nerf Thanks]
That’s all because of you ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Because the “you” who’s sniping is jealous of my muscles ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He’s handsome and good at PUBG, makes big money consistently with ten million won missions
So there’s no way this wouldn’t be infuriating lololololololol
Actually, you’re jealous of Mungi
Be honest
You’re insanely jealous of this ridiculously handsome bastard
The hack doesn’t make sense in the first place
Dal-geun suddenly threw 500,000 won to suggest playing PUBG and lured him in
And right after seeing that, he’s like “Oh, I need to get a hack to share with Gromon, gonna grind for 11 hours and suck up all the mission money~” Really?
You think that makes sense? lol
It is weird that his skills improved so dramatically, honestly it’s suspicious
But it’s strange that he predicted the future and prepared hacks
So he was planning to prepare and use hacks from the beginning? But this guy’s recent broadcasts were GTA
And he quit PUBG a while ago
[Upvotes:32][Downvotes:61]
I was planning to prepare for the nuclear option and then go for the bad ending, but the timing might have worked out perfectly
No no Munggi << what is this guy then, Cassandra? lol
No no, you’re talking nonsense lol
No no, freeze~!
No, I mean, you can just verify it lol
If you do the same thing on other computers, I agree
If you’re suspected of something, just prove your innocence clearly and be done with it
“Ah.”
After reading several of the most commented concept posts, my feelings could be summed up in one word.
“How boring and pedantic can this be…”
What was I expecting.
It’s just bored kids at dawn looking for somewhere to throw stones and they found me.
Having lived as a DC Inside lurker for many years, I immediately understood how the current situation was unfolding.
And I quickly reached a conclusion.
‘I shouldn’t feed the trolls.’
Writing posts on the community to explain myself just because I’m being suspected.
Starting a broadcast to go to some PC Bang or collaborate with some famous PUBG streamer to prove something and whatnot…
“Ah… Do I really have to experience this boring template situation from those internet broadcaster novels I used to enjoy?”
How utterly cliché.
It was a moment when I could understand why “Then die” is the cleanest and most impressive response.
> I see they’re analyzing it frame by frame to see if it works or not
> I contacted you in advance because I think hack accusers will show up if you start broadcasting
> What are you going to do?
And in the midst of those thoughts, Ttaranta’s chat messages continued.
Seriously, why does this guy worry so much?
I couldn’t understand it.
< What do you mean what to do, just ignore it
< This isn't even serious, they're just picking on some easy target streamer and beating them up
> So you’re not going to make a clarification?
< Yeah
> What if it becomes controversial later?
< It won't, it's fine
Have I been in the community for just a day or two?
Hakko suspected of hacking? Sure, let’s say I get suspected and make a clarification.
Then how many viewers would actually come to that clarification broadcast?
‘It might look stimulating for a YouTube video, but a real live broadcast? I doubt it.’
How should I put it about male streamers’ hack clarification broadcasts?
They really had absolutely no nutritional value.
Everyone just came to throw stones, saw it wasn’t true, thought ‘Oh, just a skilled kid’ and that’s it.
The possibility of becoming regular viewers? It could be said to approach zero.
> Couldn’t this become serious?
< Ugh lol who else but Game Teacher, huh? Not very manly
> You still think I’m Game Teacher?
< Let's move past the trivial stuff
< No need to clarify, anyway when we do the after-party collab, just drink a bit and suggest going to a PC bang to play some Battlegrounds together
> You’re saying there’s no need to make a big deal out of it?
< No, I'm saying there's no need to clarify at all, the hack accusers are just bored
Since they’re bored, they just randomly snipe someone who looks like an easy target and watch to see ‘Will this bastard die or not?’
It was one of the really bad cultures of the community.
< The guy who sniped me is anonymous anyway
< How effective do you think sniping from some anonymous throwaway account could be lol
< It's bait that won't last long
< If you react unnecessarily at this point and add fuel to the fire, it'll just burn more
< These guys don't even care if I'm actually hacking or not, they just need something to chew on for a bit
< Absolutely don't provide them with snacks, okay
< This isn't about giving them free service time lol
> Hmm;;;
> Got it
> Since you say you handle things well, I’ll trust you
< Of course I handle things well lol What do you take me for, geez lol
> Okay lol
For things like this, you just completely ignore them.
Except for the person who originally posted, nobody else is even being serious about it.
If they were serious, my email inbox would have been full long ago.
What’s filling up my email inbox.
[Subject: Apologize to Jjining right now]
[Subject: She’s not a woman you can treat so carelessly]
It was our sweet broth brothers.
Still, declaring I’d sue them seemed to have some effect.
They all wrote using extremely poetic expressions.
How should I put it.
It felt like classical poetry filled with the viewers’ love.
I refreshingly put them all in the spam folder.
‘…Just in case, let me prepare a few things roughly, and get some more sleep before going out.’
Itaewon, 7 o’clock, after-party.
Let me faithfully follow through.
++++++
Time flew quickly to 6:30 PM, Itaewon.
Bar 【Velour Noire】.
The most spacious and comfortable private room there currently had three streamers inside.
“Mungi seems like the type who really meets exactly at 7 when he says let’s meet at 7.”
“Right.”
“Usually for things like this, doesn’t the person with the lowest combat power come first? Hmm.”
– Hahahahahahahaha
– Hahahahahahahaha
– Hahahahahaha
– Agreed
– Mungi should hurry and come set up the utensils and tissues lol
– Is it right that Dal-geun, the oldest, is doing all this? lol
– Jjining and Babin’s outfits today are fucking pretty though
– Dal-geun also dressed up nicely, is it because it’s Itaewon?
Dal-geun, Jjining, Babin.
These three had coincidentally gathered exactly 30 minutes before the appointment time.
“I had to dress up, didn’t you see how Mungi looks? When I’m next to him, I need to at least be treated like a man… I can’t live as a squid.”
“Wait, oppa… so you really went to the salon earlier?”
“…Did it seem like a joke? No, wait, doesn’t it show? Jjining, that hurts my feelings even more.”
“It’s been a while since I saw you… um, ah well… yeah, it’s not bad.”
– Jining can’t lie ㅠㅠ
– Bobby just looking at him like he’s dumbfounded is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Fact) All
– Fun fact) Babbin and Jjining also went to the shop ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Wait, wait… viewers are saying Jjining and Babin also went to the salon, is this true? Please clarify.”
“Of course I did! I briefly watched EV’s Han River broadcast, you know? The one Mungi appeared in? When I saw that, it was completely ridiculous.”
“Agreed, I’m really in… full armament mode right now… Mungi’s real appearance is going to be insane, right? EV always marvels whenever Mungi’s face comes up in conversation.”
The three who had gathered early checked their condition while looking at themselves reflected on the broadcast screen.
These days it’s trendy to openly show that you’ve put effort into your appearance.
They definitely had that vibe of putting serious effort into matching the bar atmosphere.
Even if it wasn’t exactly a suit kind of feeling.
It was more like a vibe that could easily cruise through Itaewon Club Street.
While having such thoughts.
– Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around?
– Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around? Do you know your teammate used a hack during the mission and you’re just playing around?
A sudden spam message completely filled the Chat Room.
“What? Hack?”
“Huh?”
“What’s with the spam?”
The three were flustered.
Regardless, it seemed like they were moving as a group from somewhere.
– Let’s try it now << We're catching suspicious nuclear activity here so search right away go go
– Let’s try it now << We're catching suspicious nuclear activity here so search right away go go
– Let’s try it now << We're catching suspicious nuclear activity here so search right away go go
Several people were chatting simultaneously but were instantly blocked and disappeared.
– What is this?
– What hack are they talking about?
– Teammate? Hack? Are they saying Mungi used a hack?
– Hack suspicion?
“…No, what the hell is this?”
Even though Dal-geun hadn’t properly grasped the situation yet.
He first accessed the Garden app using his personal phone instead of the broadcast phone.
He immediately searched for someone called Haeborogo and checked their live broadcast.
-“No, I’m telling you it’s real! This doesn’t make sense! Look, he wasn’t originally this skilled, right?! This really needs to be reported completely! Everything!”
With an extremely agitated tone of explanation.
Playing the replay video of the Bad mission from this morning.
Mungi’s gameplay was being broken down and analyzed frame by frame.
-“It doesn’t make sense! This person definitely used a hack! I guarantee it!”
In the situation that had rapidly developed, all three didn’t know how to respond and fell into a brief silence.
“Mungi is here!”
Mungi appeared.
“Oh, uh… uh uh… Mungi!”
“R-right now this Chat Room is… no, let’s turn off the broadcast first…”
“Mungi! Uh, wait, wait, let’s go out and discuss something…!”
The person in question appeared before they could sort out the situation.
Despite having broadcast for a long time, all three were flustered.
Whatever the case.
“I was trying to come a bit early, but Haeborogo? Haeboryeogo? Anyway, this person suddenly started sniping me, saying I used hacks.”
Mungi smoothly pulled out his phone.
“So I reported it to Garden and did a BadDead chicken broadcast. With this, the hack suspicion is over!”
Less than 10 seconds after entering the Private Room, he quickly summarized the situation.
“Anyway, I’ve cleanly dealt with all the controversies that would ruin the mood for drinking, so I think we can just enjoy the after-party. How about that? Captain Mung’s insane judgment? Oh, is my seat over there? The inner spot? Haha… the middle seat is a bit burdensome, but I’ll try to bear the weight of the throne.”
The smoothness of sitting down right away while laughing cheerfully.
Watching that, Dal-geun unconsciously.
“Aye!”
The crew member’s response that had briefly settled in at dawn popped out.
“But why did everyone dress up so formally? Jjining definitely told me to dress comfortably…”
“No, Mungi… even so, a Teddy Bear T-shirt and Nike Shorts are… too… you dressed way too casually.”
“…This was the most comfortable though?”
– Is this guy really like a machine or something?
– A woman cries > Huh? That’s just like sweat or something
– Told to dress comfortably > Yeah, I’ll just wear the same clothes I wore at home
“…”
Jjining’s silence was a bonus.
It was the beginning of the real after-party.
