I’m nothing special
As soon as we arrived at the fortune teller’s shop.
“So… you want me to read fortunes for… this character? Compatibility?”
At the owner’s incredulous question.
“It’s not a character, it’s a… well, not an avatar either, that virtual… no, um, anyway, she’s my wife.”
– Anyway she’s my wife lololololol
– She’s my wife (it’s a lie)
– Character…
– This is the reaction we originally wanted though
– Why are we finally feeling the shame we get from normal people
– But Mungi has been embarrassed in every situation since earlier
– The problem is just that people around keep asking for Mungi’s number
– Looking at how many times it happened today, a total of 11 people asked Munggi for her number, and 6 of them just straight up gave their numbers first ㅇㅇ
– Crazy bastard
– At least the Fortune Teller Owner isn’t giving her number
– As if she would lolololololol
I answered calmly.
“Then I guess we’ll have to do tarot or something like that, since saju requires revealing personal information to some extent, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then the girl trapped in that screen should choose numbers, I’ll draw them for her. Now, we’re drawing 3 cards each.”
“Yes.”
Tarot, huh.
Honestly, I don’t believe in this stuff, and even when I do it, it’s just for fun.
Pick pick pick.
I just quickly drew three cards.
“Maybe because you’re handsome, you draw so decisively.”
– What does being handsome have to do with drawing blood smoothly, boss ㅜㅜ
– It feels like everything gets a positive filter
– Mungi, this bastard absolutely must never do night streams
– This is so cringe;; What kind of game is this? Is it a dating sim? Everyone’s way too obsessed with the main character ㅠㅠ
– Giving it 20 points on Mungtacritic. Mungton Tomatoes is just rotten level and yeah, it’s the worst.
– It hasn’t even been 2 hours since going out but how do you immerse in a character who sucks up women’s numbers like a vacuum cleaner?
– This is just the Earth author’s delusions being way too dark and crude ㅇㅇ the plausibility doesn’t add up
– ㅠㅠ
– Mungi, let’s go back to those days
– Back to when we were happy, when we did no Stream Ending until Merk succeeded 10 water drops in a row with his mouth shut…
– Ah it was just me and Mung ah it was just me and Mung ah it was just me and Mung ah it was just me and Mung ah it was just me and Mung ah it was just me and Mung
After briefly checking the Chat Room reaction.
“Then I’ll take the cards at positions 1, 10, and 32.”
“Mm, good. Okay, then let’s open them right away.”
I turned my attention back to the cards on the table following Lera’s card selection.
‘Wow… what the hell, I can’t make out any of these symbols?’
Tarot cards tend to have different ways of expressing their meanings depending on where you buy them.
The really mysteriously drawn ones were impossible to decipher just by looking.
“These three cards represent past, present, and future… but at the same time, they can be seen as first meeting, current meeting, and future meeting…”
Of course, this kind of explanation doesn’t apply to the person giving the reading.
The Fortune Teller Owner continued speaking smoothly without hesitation.
“In the past… there was no connection between you two, but the man approached first…”
– Approached first (by publicly sexually harassing during the concert)
– Hahahahahahahaha
“Currently… well, it’s so-so? Not a bad relationship, right now… I mean, you said you’re dating but it feels like a fling? Maybe even pre-fling stage… But the man is a bit, hmm, rotten at heart.”
“Yes, yes? Me?”
“No, I don’t mean you’re a bad person… but in terms of romance, something’s… a bit bad, hmm, like making women cry… that kind of card.”
– Because he’s from a Host Bar
– Do you know Lee Mung-ryong, Yoran Garden’s eternal winter, Winter Soldier, master of Frozen Kingdom
– Suddenly my trust in this fortune teller is skyrocketing
– Tarot Cards < Turns out it wasn’t pseudoscience but a big data-based human analysis system passed down from ancient times
– It started from the 15th century, ah lol
“Me, me? That can’t be right…”
“Right, right… But I’m not saying you’re that kind of person, I’m just reading according to what the cards say.”
– This reading room is legit
– I believe and will follow
– Any additional readings?
The Fortune Teller Owner wasn’t looking at the Chat Room, but seemed to sense the current atmosphere.
She continued speaking.
“The girlfriend is also very attractive, but she’s a bit… the pushover type. You know what I mean?”
“Yes, yes?”
“Hmm… The man is really too popular, this is… this will make the woman suffer too much… Oh, and the man always… the woman likes him more, whoever he meets.”
“Wait a minute, we’re on a date right now… you’re saying this man is meeting someone else?”
“No joke, no joke. But this is like fate… Huh… You know what? Really, really bad man type, don’t get led around by the nose! You should just run away the moment you see him! Everyone can’t do that because of his face!”
– Hahahahahahaha
– T R A S H ! ! !
– Mungi < His very existence is evil to women
– Enemy of men and evil to women, I hate you
– From now on, we absolutely need to ban lazy nighttime streaming content ㅇㅇ
– Agreed
– Just stay home
– Return to the Mungi I used to know!!!
The Fortune Teller Owner was enthusiastically reading the tarot cards, riding the momentum.
And Lera, shocked by the reading, kept adding her commentary.
And the viewers who kept cheering and encouraging while watching all of this unfold.
In the flow of this perfect three-part harmony.
“Excuse me, boss…”
“Hm?”
I did my best.
“…I’m trying to pay by credit card, is that okay?”
I threw my secret move to break the flow.
“Ah, ah… customer, there’s a 10% additional fee for credit card payments, would that be alright?”
I succeeded in turning the boss who was riding high back to being cold and calculating.
– Suddenly speaking formally
– When you buy on credit from a foul-mouthed grandma, they usually speak formally…
– Fortune teller grandma…
– Hahahahahaha
‘This is draining my energy.’
Maybe because I’m not the type to go out originally,
Every time I go outside, it feels like my HP is being drained in real time.
I’d rather exercise all day long.
This was really something I couldn’t handle.
“Well, anyway, ahem, I’m telling you to be careful of men! Miss, you especially need to be really careful!”
“Yes, yes!”
After the Tarot Reading ended and we finished paying.
I don’t even remember how the clothes shopping-meal combo that followed went.
If there’s one thing stuck in my head.
It’s that dating is too hard and exhausting.
“…You worked so hard today.”
“Thank you for working so hard too, PD. And thank you so much, Lera, for going along with everything.”
“Not at all! What did I do! Mungi did everything! You really worked hard!”
Barely, barely until the very end.
After using all my remaining strength to wrap things up cleanly.
I immediately caught a taxi.
Thud.
I collapsed as soon as I got home.
++++++
Late evening when Mungi was sleeping.
The time when internet broadcasting was hitting its peak hours in earnest.
The one who had tried to book Mungi for Bora, or rather the radio show.
“Ah, he went straight to sleep after it ended? Because he was tired? Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Kim Gonggong, who was running as the number 1 male broadcaster in Garden, clicked his tongue.
“Ah, really just… I think it would be great if you could appear as a contestant on our blind date program.”
– He’d probably find it really fucking burdensome though
– When you do blind dates, up to 50,000 people watch, can you handle that?
– We do need new faces for regular content but it would probably be really burdensome lol
– But he’s really handsome though
– Who the hell is Mungi, they’re talking about stuff only they know
“Ah, Mungi… there might be people who don’t know who Mungi is since they just came in?”
Kim Gonggong glanced at the Chat Room and then displayed Mungi’s night broadcast photo that he had shown just moments before on screen.
“It’s just like… a celebrity? Actor? Idol? That kind of feeling, it doesn’t make sense.”
– Wow
– He’s really amazing
– It’s been a while since I’ve been impressed looking at a guy’s face
– This guy is basically the #1 face in Garden, no, in internet broadcasting? lol
– Where the hell do guys like this come from
“I’m not begging and pleading for no reason, you know? And! Actually there’s something more important, it’s not like I’m calling him just because he’s handsome.”
Kim Gonggong skillfully searched through websites and entered an ideal type world cup site.
There he immediately clicked on the ‘Male Internet Broadcaster Ideal Type World Cup’ category.
“Look at this, if you click ‘view rankings’ right away you can see the rankings, right? This is the updated ranking after Mungi’s face was added, okay?”
– Wow what
– 90% win rate and 50% championship rate lolol
– It hasn’t been updated for long so the sample size is small
– But even considering that, this doesn’t make sense
– At this level, everything except picking him is either variety pick or affection pick
“Exactly! This isn’t just some rumor. If you jokingly tell female viewers to try the ideal type world cup, they all pick Mungi! With this, how could I not invite him to the blind date program?”
– Agreed
– Agreed
– Agreed
One of Kim Gonggong’s main content pieces, the blind date show, 0052.
It’s content where broadcasters who want to date are gathered together for blind dates.
It works by accepting applicants.
But uniquely, it’s also a program that recruits specific people if applicants want them.
Right now Kim Gonggong was being requested by numerous female participants to ‘recruit Mungi.’
But if there was a problem.
‘What should I use to entice him?’
From what he saw during the collaboration, he definitely didn’t seem like the type who enjoyed meeting strangers.
These types of people often found it more burdensome when offered travel expenses.
‘He might get offended… and honestly with that face, his broadcast will probably grow well on its own, so there’s no real need for him to join my collaboration…’
Moreover, even recruitment requests weren’t forced, and he had always prohibited creating a coercive atmosphere.
So even if he casually declined, Kim Gonggong would have nothing to say.
“I really want to invite him, but… I wish he would come. What would be good? How can we get Mungi to come out, guys, think about it.”
– You do it
– Why me
– So are we doing the broadcast too then ㅠㅠ
– Or try to seduce them with merch lol
“Merk? What Merk… Ah, ahhh! Server! Th, that, Rest Server!”
Large collaboration servers tended to open consistently with intervals between them.
Those types were largely divided into three: GTA, Merk, and Rust.
It’s not like these three came out in rotation or anything.
Anyway, this time it was the Merk Server’s turn.
– Yeah
– You have one Companion Pass
– You were worrying about who to use it on anyway
– You thought giving it to crew members again would be too obvious
– And you can’t bring him with a Regular Invitation Ticket because of Mungi’s follower count and stuff
– Let’s give the companion pass to that guy, yeah
– If you use that to hit on someone, it’s 100% guaranteed lol
“Ah, that would work. The server isn’t strict anyway, it’s mainly exploration and healing focused…”
Having reached a conclusion, Kim Gonggong immediately sent a long email to Mungi.
‘But usually handsome people like this might be a bit picky about their off-stream appearance, I wonder how it’ll be.’
The thought that he might get rejected lingered in his mind.
But it was still better than not trying at all.
++++++
The morning after the collaboration ended.
“…I’m dying, I’m dying.”
I barely woke up in the morning, finished exercising, and sat at my computer.
“Phew…”
I let out a deep breath and recalled what happened yesterday.
Being around people, especially mostly women, really drained my energy.
I mean, if it were just one or two people it would be fine.
But I met over twenty women yesterday, being generous with the count.
I understood why heroines in light novels become trophies once they exceed a certain number.
‘When there are too many, you can’t even remember who’s who.’
Muttering that to myself, the moment I entered my Broadcasting Station page to check if there were any messages or emails.
“Huh?”
[Subject: Hello Mungi, this is Kim Gonggong broadcasting on Garden. The reason I’m writing is…]
As soon as I confirmed a message from the #1 male variety broadcaster on Garden, I immediately started my broadcast.
After checking the content, I concluded there was no need to verify it off-stream.
“Mungi has arrived.”
– Hmm
– Mh
– Now I gotta spill the Han Battle review hehe lol
– Both in real life and on internet broadcasts, “Mungi has arrived” is always the same
– Lolololololol
– After turning off the broadcast like that yesterday, our goldfish died ㅠㅠ
– Done writing the review, now what should I do lol
– Let’s do something constructive, something constructive
– That doesn’t mean play Factorio or something like that, you crazy bastard, you know that right?
– Ttaranta† But you turned on the stream earlier than usual
– Mungop† Mungop♥♡♥♡ Your outfit yesterday was so cool, seriously your styling was insane
– Game Teacher Why is wearing a sword so awkward
– You’re a video editor after all
– So talented though, but the video was fucking hilarious
As soon as I turned on the broadcast, viewers flocked in.
[Current viewer count: 543 people]
The viewer count that was always around 200 had reached 500.
‘My follower count also reached 3,000… it increased by 2,000 in that short time?’
Of course, it wasn’t just the aftermath of Han Battle, but also the power of the concert.
I did sing pretty well back then.
Actually.
– When will you sing again?
– Is it regular content?
– Do you also do sync rooms by any chance?
– Ugh there are Mungcert fans here
– Mungcert lolololol
– Mungcert is not regular content
– Munggi doesn’t really do that kind of thing ㅠㅠ But when the mood is right and someone gets things started, she’ll sing
– There’s no justification, you know, justification
I could see several viewers in the chat asking when I would sing again.
But unfortunately, today wasn’t the flow for singing.
“But there’s no singing today. No singing, but there is a major announcement.”
– What major announcement
– Suddenly a drill show?
– What is it
– Don’t keep me curious, hurry up and go
“I’m going to appear on Kim Gonggong’s blind date content as the male participant!”
– Huh?
– Suddenly?
– Not really suddenly, about 25,000 people watched Han Battle yesterday so Kim Gonggong must have seen it too
– I guess you contacted me after seeing it
– Yeah
– And it’s not like I’m going in empty-handed either
Looking at the chat flow, it seems like some viewers already know.
“Ah, some of you already know. Please refrain from spoilers. Anyone who doesn’t match my pace and gets ahead of me will all be banned.”
– Ttaranta† Anyone who mentions TAS excessively or acts like a cuckoo will all be banned
– Gasp
– Hey, open your eyes nicely
– *3* Mung-ppo
– You do open them nicely though
– You’re kind though
– You work hard though
But I didn’t let them spill the information.
I understand the desire to show off because your knowledge is ahead of others.
But you need to read the situation before doing that now.
“Well, I was going to say it soon anyway, but after going on that blind date, I’ve decided to join the Merk Streamer Server. The Rest Server!”
– Wow, you’re going to that Large Server
– For someone with 3,000 followers, you’re going to another heavy-weight place
– But Mungi moving for compensation < Am I the only one getting a reaction from this?
– Uhh
– I think my side dish for today has been decided
– Ahh…
– Even though it’s internet broadcasting, I can’t believe sentences of this level are possible
– Mungiiiiiiiii!! Mungogok mungogokok mungogogogok
– Do a Munghegao ahegao face~
– Tell me where you want to put what
– In the Merk Streamer Server, the Rest Server… me Mungi…
– Then come on the blind date
– Yeah ㅠ.ㅠ
The Rest Server, a server focused mainly on exploration and healing.
Everyone was participating, so honestly I was just eyeing it like Yoran Garden.
I never dreamed an opportunity like this would come.
‘With a Companion Pass, I’m not going under someone, I’m going together, so there are no restrictions on activities.’
It was practically safe to say I was a starting member of the server.
‘Starting is definitely fixed as a female Nyaoha.’
After muttering useless things to myself.
“But looking at the schedule, it’s tomorrow already? So I think I’ll have to end early today.”
– Ah
– Ah
– But seeing how he told you in advance, Kim Gonggong really put a lot of sincerity into this
– For real lol
– He’s the type who calls female streamers on the same day anyway
– There’s a reason he’s competing for Garden’s top spot /This viewer has been banned.
– He’s overwhelmingly number one when it comes to blind dates lol Even 40,000 people are watching/This viewer has been banned.
“If you mention other streamers too much, you’ll get banned. Anyway, since I need to prepare for Merc after today’s blind date ends, I’ll do some Merc practice.”
– Yeah, I really get pissed off when I get completely wrecked there
– But aren’t you getting sold out too much lately? You need to take care of your broadcast too
– I’ve only been sold out twice, what are you talking about lol
– Ugh lol Already being controlled by remote?
– No, I’m selling my body to get out of the Merc server, so why are you complaining
– Please support the pitiful bastard Munggi ㅠㅠ
Confirming that the viewers were definitely on my side, I immediately logged into Merc.
Now then, shall we start some Merc training so I don’t get completely wrecked on the server?
+++++++
Kim Gonggong’s blind date content, day 0052.
‘Usually Hakko would come 1 hour… really fast ones even 2 hours early.’
Seeing Mungi arrive exactly on time, Kim Gonggong thought ‘Mungi is somehow different.’
“Mungi! Thank you for coming!”
“Not at all. Thank you for inviting me. This kind of opportunity… not just anyone can do this! Mungi has arrived!”
“…Oh, ah… you actually say that line?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
– lololololololol
– lolololololol
– Mungi has arrived, you fool
– Even lions announce their presence with a roar, it’s basic
– Is this that thing where male gorillas beat their chests
– It’s like a tiger’s roar
Anyway.
“Now then, before we get into the blind date proper! Let’s do some face exploration!”
The gathered 4:4 men and women sat in their designated seats and faced each other.
A moment so innocent that just making eye contact was enough.
The women’s gazes were all focused on Mungi without needing to look elsewhere.
A situation where attention was completely concentrated.
In that situation.
“Ah, then Mungi! Could I ask what your criteria will be for choosing someone today?”
Kim Gonggong continued his skilled hosting and threw a question to Mungi.
“Ah, for me it’s nothing special. It’s jeyuk.”
“What?”
“I’m going to walk out today with whoever can stir-fry jeyuk the best.”
I realized it.
“…?”
“Ah, even if it’s not jeyuk, I also like cheese tonkatsu, so please don’t worry too much if you can’t make jeyuk.”
This guy isn’t normal.
