Let’s do it right now
“…How far and in what way can you help me?”
As soon as EV heard Mungi’s words.
“Well, just… lightly helping out? Still, I’ll at least make you function like a proper person again.”
“Teacher… you haven’t forgotten me.”
“Mungi, you forgot about me and met other women, living well and eating well, but I don’t forget.”
She immediately set up a broadcast angle.
– Gasp
– Gasp
– Gasp
– That’s right
– Exactly
– Mungi you bastard!!
– How dare you abandon EV?
– Get punished
– You called her teacher but just abandoned her and the first lady is with another woman!!!
– Absolutely unforgivable lol
– Die die die die die die
“…I knew you wouldn’t be able to forget me. This face isn’t one that’s easily forgotten, you know.”
– Wow
– Ah
– Agreed
– He really never backs down from stuff like this
– The name Tetomungi isn’t there for nothing
– EV, you can’t be pushed back ㅠㅠ
Mungi also skillfully countered EV’s words without changing his tone of voice one bit.
Self-improvement through adversity.
A man who got liquidated and became penniless but still has his face vs a woman who started from the foundation and steadily completed her brick house.
While a breathtaking duel was expected.
“But you know that Mungi is the one who needs help right now, right?”
EV reminded Mungi of the cold reality.
“Gasp… I actually never forgot about EV from the depths of my heart. Maybe that’s why we met like this.”
Mungi immediately recognized reality.
“So how did you end up penniless from the first day on the server?”
“Ah, if I explain that, it’s really simple…”
At EV’s question, Mungi briefly summarized his 5-hour life.
– Hahahahahahaha
– So basically he just kept gambling
– You have no fear at all
– But almost catching it was legendary
– Feels like you failed at the last moment lololol
– You could try supporting one more time?
– But Mungi is really good at games, right?
Reading the flow of the chat room, EV came up with a brilliant idea.
“Mungi, how about I focus on building up our base while you concentrate on hunting?”
“Huh? So you’re telling me to become a bus driver?”
“That’s right, I can’t just keep building up the base forever anyway. I’ll have to participate in raids eventually, but I’m not very good at this type of thing…”
The Rest Server was basically exploration + healing.
In other words, she couldn’t just do healing all day long.
Eventually, she would have to engage in content like exploration and raids.
And what was important at that time was finding party members to team up with.
Of course, it would be nice if skilled people grouped together,
but due to fate, or natural flow,
or according to the late Master Jirobo’s sharp observation that when 5 people gather, there’s always one piece of trash,
there were inevitable weak links.
And EV felt that weak link was herself.
While she was indeed a female variety gaming streamer, she was particularly bad at boss-fighting genres like souls-like games.
She needed a reliable attacker.
“Hehe… So you’re saying you’ll be my Yuumi right now.”
“…Mungi, do you go bottom when you play Canyon?”
“Ah, I originally preferred mid… but I heard that being good at ADC makes you popular…”
“Who told you that?”
“The internet.”
– lololololololol
– Stop with the internet already lolololol
– He looks like a popular guy but the way he talks lolololol
– But is it right to mention Yuumi as soon as she suggests teaming up? lolololol
– If this was anonymous, he probably would’ve said “you’re my Hye, aren’t you?”
“…Mungi, I really wish you’d live up to your face value. Please stop with the internet…”
“EV, if you’re a broadcaster, use the internet a bit. Watch shorts for 3 hours too.”
“…”
EV, feeling momentarily dizzy at Mungi’s words, slowly rubbed her face with her hands.
“So what do you want to do? Will you collaborate?”
“I’m fine with it, but collaborations were up to 5 people, right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… If this goes well, I might be able to create my harem in Merk.”
“Do you normally say that out loud? Right in front of someone you just agreed to party with…?”
“Personally, I’m thinking of making a hero party and then expelling one member. I really love exile stories…”
“…”
With the continuous stream of dizzying remarks, I seriously wondered ‘Is it right to party together?’
Of course, that thought was very brief.
From EV’s perspective, Mungi was her benefactor.
Because she had the desire to keep helping him right up to the edge.
“Ah, but speaking of harem stories, I sometimes see disgusting cases where they put lesbian characters in harem positions in romance comedies, and I really hate this. They’re just trying to milk screen time for nothing, and when yuri girls appear, whatever they do just interferes with everything so the story just drags on… and when they try to make progress, she suddenly barges in saying ‘so-and-so is mine!’ and… really, only at the very end does she go ‘fine, I’ll acknowledge it’… who is she to acknowledge other people’s relationships, why does she even exist, I guess you’d call her an incomprehensible character.”
“…”
Even while enduring the slight dizziness every time he said things like this.
EV wanted to keep supporting Mungi by his side.
And in this situation, Mungi.
“I should properly open a crowdfunding for this, shouldn’t I?”
“Huh?”
Came up with a new plan.
++++++
If there was something I realized with a snap as soon as I heard EV’s words.
‘Wouldn’t there be many other people besides EV who find exploration difficult?’
It was the thought that concerns about exploration, or rather raids, might exist for anyone.
Of course, being a broadcaster, it’s right that I should chew, tear, taste, and enjoy all the content that exists on the Merc Server.
But everyone feels different kinds of fun, is good at different things, and likes different things.
To put it bluntly, there could even be people on the Rest Server for whom exploration content isn’t the main thing.
– But are you crazy for thinking of crowdfunding?
– But looking at the Rest Server PV, there’s a phrase “bosses that stimulate the desire to challenge” so the bosses are probably fucking hard?
– There are even bosses that force you to fall into water
– @@@@@@@@@Lumia Island Blair release download right now@@@@@@@ /This viewer has been banned.
– Ta-da-da† The BL teachers are going crazy for real lol
– Isn’t Blair just a stamina-management-less, no-damage assassin? /This viewer has been banned.
– Ttaranta† bans all talk unrelated to the game
– Huh lol
“Come to think of it, I had a megaphone in one of the sponsored boxes I received. Should I try promoting boss crowdfunding… no, proxy… no, carry… no, assistance service with this?”
– Is it right to say that next to EV?
– You who values communication are always the best
– Your intelligence is also the best
What I was only thinking in my head came right out of my mouth.
But it wasn’t a big deal.
“EV, what do you think of my business idea?”
“The fact that the capital for that business idea comes from me makes me think about various things?”
“I’ve finished analyzing all the first raid boss patterns, so you just need to follow me.”
– Acting all high and mighty with other people’s money lololololololol
– You’re getting support right now, not donations
– At least he’s not doing host bar work anymore
– He’s started doing business
– Used host bar work to get startup capital, became a CEO and failed, then couldn’t break old habits and immediately started doing business when meeting people face to face
– Isn’t this guy just a crazy scammer
Because all the plans were already perfectly laid out in my head.
This was a plan so complete you could say it was practically finished.
“EV, let me use a Server Megaphone for a moment.”
“Sure.”
【 Mungi announces. A golden opportunity has come for everyone struggling with boss raids. I, Mungi! Please whisper Mungi for boss raid requests! I, Mungi! will join your party and carry you skillfully! Difficult things, Mungi! Difficult things, Mungi! Leave it to 】
– Why did it get cut off in the middle?
– Isn’t it because it exceeded the character limit?
– Are you really doing this on purpose? Trying to embarrass us intentionally?
– Why does this person keep inducing secondhand embarrassment
– But seriously, would anyone actually do this?
“Once a day, people draw invitations and invite others… so, there are already over 30 people on this server, so there must be people having difficulties.”
After that brief communication.
“EV, then I’ll receive some basic donations, no, participation fees… no, help made with pure goodwill for a moment! Thank you so much!”
“Mungi, if it wasn’t for that face, I might not have been able to stand it either.”
“Still, please bear with me, it’s this face after all.”
“…Please leave a Broadcasting Station selfie too, taken with the rear camera… you know what I mean?”
“Yes!”
Right away with the rear camera aligned to the grid.
Click.
After taking a photo centered on my face.
I quickly left a private post on EV’s Broadcasting Station.
And received an emergency equipment transfusion.
“Iron Sword! Iron Shield! Iron Helmet! It’s done! Huhahaha, with this I’ll prove that no one can surpass me, Mungi!”
– Ah so fucking embarrassing every time this happens
– Now I know for sure our relationship will never go beyond streamer-viewer
– Let’s never be friends, okay
– If you’re going to waste that face like that, please give it to me!
“EV, then let’s go right away.”
“Huh? Didn’t you open crowdfunding to find more party members?”
EV felt puzzled, but I answered in a tone that said it didn’t matter.
“Nah, I just did it as a joke. Who would actually whisper me after seeing that.”
“…”
“The important thing is to let people know this kind of person exists first, and show some results.”
Knowing how minimal the announcement promotion effect would be, I immediately tried to prepare for a boss attempt with EV.
Right at that moment.
Jjining > Mungi, there’s obviously a spot for your daughter, right?
A whisper message actually flew in.
+++++++
Jjining was a case who transitioned from being a female cam streamer in Garden to a variety broadcaster.
She had already shown some talent as a variety game streamer since the GTA Yoran Garden Server days.
But.
“…Wow, so even Merk can get this difficult when it gets difficult?”
– Merk seems like the mild version of Dark Souls
– The fact that it has parrying mechanics says it all
– It’s definitely different from the Merk where you catch spiders, zombies, and skeletons lol
– They said it was healing, but once exploration starts, that’s when hell begins
– But you’ll need to form a party for this, hmm;
– Exploration is party content anyway since there are raids too
She belatedly realized that Merk, which she had taken lightly, wasn’t as easy as she thought.
Through the tycoon process, doing farming or fishing and such.
That kind of healing content was at a difficulty level anyone could handle.
But the difficulty suddenly spiked when it came to exploration.
It was like just starting to take baby steps, then suddenly being told to prepare for circus acts.
But Jjining had become interested in the exploration aspect, and while she was pondering what to do.
“Hm?”
– ?
– ?
Mungi’s server announcement appeared on screen and then disappeared.
– Huh what was that
– Eh Mungi’s here too?
– How did he get here
– That blind date companion pass yeah
– Ah
– Hmm
– This is it lol
– Gotta go with the father and daughter meta again?
And the viewers who wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
“Right, there’s no way I can’t go to this, is there?”
It wasn’t just Jjining.
Having originally started as a female cam streamer, Jjining’s viewers really hated seeing her get involved with male broadcasters.
But Mungi was the only exception.
‘Is it because he’s so ridiculously good-looking? Rather… is he safe because he’s too handsome?’
Moreover, there was no hint of ulterior motives, which might have made it even more so.
She could immediately tell when guys pretended not to be interested while trying to get close to her.
But Mungi really showed no such signs at all – if anything, he didn’t see her as a woman to the point it was almost insulting to her pride.
He gave off the strong vibe of just being a broadcast acquaintance she’d hang out with briefly.
So the viewers didn’t seem to have much resistance either.
Besides, Mungi never made the first move to get close anyway.
‘Maybe it’s because I started it, but since everyone seems fine with it, I’m good with it too.’
So Jjining immediately sent Mungi a whisper.
Since it was before heading out to explore, they were able to meet quickly in town.
“Mungi!”
“Jjining, hello.”
“Nice to see you here!”
“Haha, so good to see you. But you whispering me means you brought the participation fee, right? Something to sponsor me with…”
“…Wait, you usually ask about that right away when we meet? EV is right next to you too?”
“Ah, well depending on what you give me, we might or might not form a party…”
– What, you don’t have money?
– ??? : Prove you’re worthy of being my party member
– Weak party members get kicked immediately
– No wait, this isn’t even about kicking, he’s just filtering from the start lololololol
“I can give you pets! I have two rare pets! Ones you can ride!”
“As expected, I always believed Jjining would become our party member.”
– lolololololol
– lololololololol
– Yes my daughter, you’re proving you’re my daughter
– A daughter who knows her materialistic father too well lololol
The three-person party formed like that.
EV and Jjining, who had steadily built up their foundations, supported Mungi.
And with that support, Mungi was like he had wings, taking down something that normally couldn’t be defeated in the early stages.
【 First Steps Cave Boss: Starting Boar has been defeated for the first time! Defeaters: Mungi, EV, Jjining 】
They had defeated the boss.
A boss that the Management Team had expected would only show signs of being clearable around the evening of day 2 at the earliest.
– Wow how do you succeed at 24 consecutive parries
– He said he memorized all the patterns and it’s really true
– At this level he really is a bus driver lololol
– EV and Jjining getting carried is legendary lolololololol
– It’s funny how he actually plays better when the kids are getting carried
– Was Merk this difficult of a game? He’s moving so dynamically
– While others are opening Selker Boxes and trying to get Outer Wings, he just solves it with ‘jumping’
He had just cleared it by pushing through with brute physical skill.
Boss rewards were decided to be divided according to contribution, and through this, Mungi.
“Oh… dual swords, it gives off that reckless charge feeling? Beast Breathing!!!”
Met the moment to further enhance his equipment.
Just because you defeat a boss doesn’t guarantee boss-exclusive items will drop.
He broke through impossible odds and got it right after succeeding on the try.
– Your luck is really insane
– I’ll let you open a 50,000 won box later too, Mungiya, just wait ㅠㅠ
– When this war ends, I’m definitely going to donate 50,000 won to Mungi
As his good fortune continued like this.
“500,000 won donation! Thank you so very much!”
Eventually Mungi was able to receive big donations thanks to the appearance of big spenders.
And in that process, from a special 50,000 won box that could only be obtained there.
[Congratulations! You have drawn a Special Invitation Ticket!]
He ended up drawing an invitation ticket.
“Huh?”
The very moment he broke through extremely low odds consecutively.
Somehow knowing that Mungi had drawn a Special Invitation Ticket.
> Mungi, if you don’t plan to use the Special Invitation Ticket, could you sell it to me?
> Hello Mungi, would it be possible to trade items for the Special Invitation Ticket?
A barrage of whispers began flying in from people who absolutely needed the Special Invitation Ticket.
“This is that thing, I just drew a Special Invitation Ticket but streamers are obsessing over me.”
– What the hell are you talking about
– What are you saying, you otaku
– ChitoseWoGokumiAishiteruByouNiKakarimashita donated 1,000 won, thank you.
[ Mungi, seeing you watch that stuff ]
“Watching this kind of thing is good for mental health.”
Mungi politely declined all the offers coming through whispers.
“EV, if you need to use the Special Invitation Ticket, please let me know. You too, Jjining. I only have one, but this kind of thing should originally be shared among party members.”
“Oh, is that really okay?”
“Yes, you both gave me almost all the boss items. I should at least give you something like this.”
He solidly built up his own foundation.
‘I need to take care of the people around me first.’
+++++
Defeating the boss was good.
And continuing to try the 2nd boss with that momentum was also good.
But.
“Just where.”
When exactly.
“Where is the Hidden Job?”
I can end the stream once I successfully change jobs, right?
– 13 hours into the broadcast lol
– Must be getting tired soon
– Does this person ever sleep?
– But their stamina is good
From the first day, I was starting to regret declaring a no-ending stream.
Hints about the Hidden Job showed no signs of appearing at all.
Just in case, right after EV and Jjining logged off.
Even when I defeated the boss alone, there was no particular special signal.
“Ah, seriously what… what could the condition be?”
While continuing to explore and steadily build up my foundation.
– Ttaranta† How about going somewhere like the Library? It’s not there for no reason
“Oh, that’s right?”
As soon as I received Ttaranta’s advice, I headed straight to the Library.
After spending about 2 hours there examining all the Books, clicking on various things and doing repetitive tasks.
[ To become a knight, one must find a partner ]
“…”
I discovered a clue about the Hidden Job.
‘I need to find a partner?’
Suddenly? So here? Are they telling me to become a married couple?
– Mungop† Mungop!!! If it were me, I could get the hidden job change right away!!!
– Damn Game Teacher lololololol
– Watching Mung-tube well…
– Since this person has good abilities, they do look different somehow
– lololololololol
“I just need to find a wife, right? Is there anything easier than this?”
– Crazy bastard
– Just not human at all
– Talking about a wife like she’s some kind of tool
– Isn’t this guy insane
– This is totally the Mung patriarchy system
“Let’s do it right now.”
I’m going to get that Hidden Job.
Marriage? Couple? Girlfriend? I can just easily find that stuff.
“Starting the wife search.”
– No stream ending until wife is found, you crazy bastard lololololol
– Who makes a stream title like this lololol
– Wife Found♥
