Heart-Pounding First Collaboration

About 40 minutes before meeting up with EV.

I was preparing to go out while broadcasting on my phone.

“Since I don’t have outdoor cam equipment, I’ll use my phone for now, and when I meet up with EV, I’d appreciate it if you could watch from her broadcast.”

– 3rd year noob, openly declaring he’s gonna leech

– Like that concert, upvote if you think Mungi’s gonna suck up hard

“What do you mean suck up? Are you crazy? Get out.”

Why are you being so harsh about my heart-pounding first collaboration?

A Han River meetup mission, and a 10km walk at that!

This was quite an exciting element.

First of all, being able to do my first collaboration with a major corporation was great.

Just when I didn’t know how to handle this situation after turning on the camera.

It was also great that an opportunity came to fully utilize my naturally changed face through outdoor broadcasting.

‘Life… is easy, isn’t it?’

Suddenly felt like life’s difficulty level had dropped significantly.

– But how are you getting to Han River? Taking a taxi?

“I’ll have to take a taxi. The night surcharge is scary, but… this much should be fine.”

– Ah

– ㅠㅠ

– Mungi is scared of night taxi fares

– So cute

– Not satisfied with leeching off Lera, now trying to leech off EV, is this crazy simp just a fucking buffalo? Broadcasting just to drool over girls, you crazy bastard /Inappropriate expression detected by Ssak-ssaki.

“Oh no, Teacher Yuksu is still here…”

– Turret seed seed

– You just don’t like him, what can we do~

– For real lololol

– Yuksu haters who just hate handsome Mungi, upvote lolololol

– With Mungi’s looks, wouldn’t you not even feel jealous? Fuck lol

– It’s not subtly handsome, handsome, but just blatantly fucking gorgeous

– Just enjoy it lol

“First, let me try to catch a taxi. At least with KakaoTaxi, there’s no call fee, which is nice.”

Thank you Anonymous Donor for the 30,000 won donation.

[ But EV spent 100,000 won, and you’re worried about taxi fare, that’s legendary lol]

“Oh my! Anonymous donor gave me 30,000 won taxi fare along with a reality check! Thank you.”

– Lolololol

– Grin

– If you want to nag, pay up lol

– Is this bastard Mungi suddenly calling a taxi actively for real?

– This guy just likes money

Well, who doesn’t like money?

That thought crossed my mind as soon as I saw the last chat.

An era had arrived where a single chicken now costs 25,000 won.

Chicken was no longer common people’s food, and had now reached the level of a decent buffet.

In this era of high prices, when you could earn money, you absolutely had to earn as much as possible.

“I just follow the address shown, right?”

“Yes, please go there. Thank you.”

Vrooooom.

Getting into the taxi I quickly caught, I headed straight to Han River Park.

– Thank you for Ttaranta’s 1,000 won donation.

[ But Mungi, aren’t you going to do YouTube anymore? ]

– For real

– If you’re planning to make a living from broadcasting, you gotta take care of your muscle tube ㅇㅇ

“I need to earn enough to pay an editor’s salary for it to work out… No, honestly I want to do it, but honestly it’s still a bit…”

– Is saying ‘honestly’ twice a sign of how sincere you are?

– Why don’t you say you deleted your channel because you were embarrassed about having around 502 subscribers?

– Why don’t you mention starting YouTube and uploading unedited full videos with no cam, no microphone, 20-hour Don’t Starve multi solo play videos all week long?

– Why don’t you mention how you thought ‘What if I broadcast while editing?’ and started an editing stream, then bowed in apology when 8 out of 10 viewers left?

“…No, my room’s concrete viewers, I’m really grateful and proud of you, but at times like this it’s a bit much.”

– Hahahahaha

– Hahahahaha

– Hahahahahaha

– This guy was fucking hilarious lmaooooo

– Mungi Mungi…

– Don’t Starve multi solo play 20 hours no cam no mic is really not human behavior

– Wasn’t your broadcast goal just actually self-destruction?

– This guy has absolutely no intention of growing his stream at all ㅇㅇ

“Ah, we’ve arrived! I got the address from EV too, so I’ll head straight there. And since I need to hurry, I’ll end the broadcast here for now! See you on EV’s broadcast!”

– He’s fucking fast at running away

– Why didn’t you think of growing your broadcast at this speed?

– Thank you for Dudum’s 1,000 won donation.

[ If you think running away looks pathetic, say Mungchu~ ]

– Cowardly inducing Mungchu;

– Mungchu

– Crazy (meaning damn cold)

– Stupid (yeah, means dumb)

– Crazy

– Crazy

– Crazy (meaning f*ck off)

“…The last one can get out, bastard. Well then, see you on EV’s broadcast, bye Mung.”

– Damn

– Damn

– Damn

– Mungbye (meaning Mungi bye)

Barely dodging the sharp daggers that viewers kept throwing until the very end.

I got out of the taxi and immediately moved toward the address I’d been given.

The spot where I got out of the taxi wasn’t too far from the location EV gave me.

When I focused my vision a bit, I could see EV right away.

‘Oh, what? My eyesight got incredibly good too.’

Feeling my overall physical abilities improving in real time.

Just as I was about to rush over to EV.

‘Hm?’

I spotted a man nearby blatantly holding up a phone camera.

Distance-wise, about 100 meters?

‘No way, I can actually see this.’

Thanks to my overwhelming eyesight, I could see it clearly.

With his hood pulled down low, minimizing his presence as much as possible.

Holding up his phone with the camera pointed toward EV.

‘A manager?’

Since it’s a major corporation, maybe they do backup cameras or separate filming like that?

Maybe because I haven’t properly joined the main broadcast stream yet.

It was frustrating that I couldn’t be certain and couldn’t make a definitive judgment.

Was that why?

‘…Ah, I can’t concentrate on this.’

Even though I knew I should focus on the broadcast after meeting up with EV.

My gaze kept naturally drifting toward where that man was.

When I couldn’t see him, I’d look for him, and because of that I couldn’t properly answer EV’s questions either.

‘I should just ask.’

It’s probably a manager, probably a backup camera.

Even though I wanted to think positively, he could only look like a stalker to me.

“There’s been a man following us since earlier, do you happen to have a separate manager?”

I asked honestly.

“…What?”

The moment I saw EV’s face rapidly stiffening, I was certain.

‘It’s a stalker.’

A stalker event happening right during our first collaboration.

Glancing.

– No way, is this crazy bastard Mungi suddenly getting up in her face?

– What did he say to make her face freeze like that lololololol

– He didn’t want to make ‘that statement’ from the concert, did he?

– He really Mungi’d it up

– Broadcasting window is definitely Da Ha Kko

– Da Mungi, after the concert is it a night broadcast disaster?

– As expected of you

Checking the Chat Room, fortunately the viewers didn’t know what was going on.

’10km… it’s a walking mission, if I walk while broadcasting, I’ll probably go about 3km per hour? So 10km… that’ll take roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes?’

Right after doing quick mental math to calculate how long it would take to walk 10km.

As soon as I realized the seriousness of the situation, I immediately lifted the broadcast atmosphere.

“Ah, to be honest with you, I have this… condition where I freeze up for about 5 minutes when there’s a beautiful woman next to me? So I couldn’t speak for a moment. I’m really sorry!”

– That’s right Mungi

– Ha Kko wouldn’t be Ha Kko for nothing, right?

– But looking like you do, how can you have no immunity to women?

“Ah, and the whisper just now was asking if I could… get Taxi fare, but I made a mistake due to my lack of social awareness.”

– Crazy bastard lololololol

– So this is why he was Ha Kko

– Still Ha Kko

– A proper Straw indeed

– The first thing whispered during a merger with a big corporation < "Give me taxi fare" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Thank you Anonymous Donor for the 30,000 won donation.

[ But sir, I gave you 30,000 won for Taxi fare earlier, where did you spend that and why are you asking for more ]

– Did you get it? lololol

– A noob’s mindset is also noobish lololol

– For someone so tall, you’re petty as hell lmaooo

“No no, it’s not that, this is round trip so…”

– Hahahahaha

– As expected, math is totally not my thing lolololololol

– Right, right lol it’s just going back and forth lololol

– Oh, they charge extra even on the way there too lol

– EV, please don’t deduct any fees from this 30,000 won and give me the full amount, I’m gonna cry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

As the atmosphere that was about to turn sour was quickly resolved.

EV, whose expression had been stiff, showed incredibly quick expression changes befitting a Major Corporation and.

“No, everyone, Mungi… really, compared to how he looks, what he does is too… too funny, isn’t it? I was really so surprised that my expression went stiff.”

– For real lololololol

She quickly took control of the broadcast atmosphere.

“Mungi, so was all that restless expression and turning your head earlier also because you were trying to ask about Taxi fare?”

“Huh? Ah… yes… these days chicken prices have gone up too… and Taxi fare comes out similar to that or a bit higher so um… yes…”

“He must be really crazy…”

The unstable expression and the whispering.

By resolving these two plot points within the broadcast, I thoroughly prevent any unnecessary rumors from spreading.

Quick response.

Even in the midst of all this, my mind was racing.

‘She’s not just surprised – her expression is hardening, which means she knows about this. And seeing how she’s not immediately responding… she must have already reported this to the police before.’

There were so many stalking incidents involving female streamers.

Just from the situation alone, I could roughly picture what was happening.

‘For stalking without direct harm… just following from that distance, the police won’t respond. Even if they do respond, there’s nothing they can do anyway.’

Unless he was waiting nearby or there was a possibility of harm.

Just quietly watching from that distance – there was nothing the police could do about it.

If the stalker answered the police with ‘It’s a coincidence, can’t I decide where I want to go with my own legs, I just saw a famous streamer,’ that would be the end of it.

Glance.

When I openly turned around to look back, I finally made eye contact with the stalker.

‘Finally looking at me, huh.’

But clearly this wasn’t his first time – he was surprised to see me looking, but he didn’t leave his spot or anything.

He was a crazy bastard.

Still, he wouldn’t rush at us while we were broadcasting.

For now, the important thing was to end the broadcast safely.

If I suddenly turned off the broadcast and did something about the stalker.

EV might unwillingly become the subject of bad attention circulating in the Community.

So.

“Mungi! You’re looking back again? I told you I’d pay for your taxi!”

“Ah, right… you did say you’d pay… um, that’s really reassuring.”

“But Mungi, how did you end up starting to broadcast?”

“Me? Really just to make money… easily. I wanted to make money easily.”

– I wanted to make money easily (3rd year bottom-tier)

– I wanted to make money easily (while completely ruining a concert with his microphone on during a Merk collaboration)

– I do like how honest you are lol

– The funny thing is this guy ran out of money while streaming so he took a long break to get a part-time job ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

For now, making the broadcast entertaining was the priority.

“Did you really go work part-time while broadcasting?”

“Ah… that’s really painful… that topic.”

“Oh…”

“Just kidding, I worked hard loading and unloading packages. I really wanted to make it big through broadcasting.”

While chatting like that, we opened up bits of personal information about each other.

Though it was just things like age and hobbies.

“What, what? Mungi, you’re twenty-five?”

“That’s right, everyone’s always surprised when they first hear my age. I just look so young, really…”

“…Wow, hearing you say that directly makes you seem really obnoxious.”

“…”

– EV 22, calls Concert ‘That Statement’ guy 25 obnoxious controversy

– Concert ‘that statement’ blaming men lol hahahahaha

– Mungi suck suck~

– Wow but seriously he doesn’t look that different from EV even though there’s a 3-year age gap lol

– Mungi, so you already completed military service

– The broadcast is just starting to see the light, so there’s no way it’ll end stubbornly

“This is kind of something to brag about, but I went to the military right after becoming an adult. All for broadcasting…”

“But considering that… I heard you often just played games with no camera and no microphone during broadcasts.”

“…”

“I just read in the chat that you did a 20-hour ‘Don’t Starve’ stream with no camera and no microphone? Why on earth would you do such a thing…”

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation from Meuseulang.

[ But how did you survive without quitting? Usually people would quit ]

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation from Daenamu-dong.

[ How did you survive 3 years with double-digit viewers? ]

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation from Ready Action.

[ But seeing how you kept going like that, you must be really fucking stubborn ]

– For real lololololol

– Stubborn is Mungi’s middle name lolololololol

“No, it’s not stubbornness, I just… thought that to rise high, I needed to pursue broadcasts different from others? So I went through some trial and error.”

– Do people usually go through that for 3 years?

– Even saying that is stubborn lololololol

– Wow how did this guy completely change like a different person the moment he turned on his camera?

– No-cam Mungi must be a real legend

– Legendary Mungi appears lolololololol

“Mungi… even I can see you look incredibly stubborn.”

“…Shouldn’t you be taking my side here? I came to help you with your punishment broadcast?”

“Well still… I’m on our room’s viewers’ side.”

“Ah… I could become broth too… I steep really well…”

“…”

– First time seeing someone ask to be steeped in real time lolololololol

– Mungi Mungi, what the hell are you saying?

– This guy kills vicious broth on his own broadcast lolololol

– Ah, on other people’s broadcasts he wants to become broth lololol

– EV,,,I,,,want,,,to,,,become,,,your,,,broth,,,

– Boil,,,me,,,too,,,,

– It’s fucking hilarious that this handsome bastard has the same mindset as us

– Caught the bastard trying to sneakily ship himself with Mungi

– ㅠㅠ

And so, exchanging conversation appropriately and leading the broadcast atmosphere harmoniously.

Before we knew it, time had flown by and the 10km walking mission was completed.

A glance.

‘Wow… he actually followed me?’

After checking on the Stalker.

10km should be quite a difficult distance to just follow along.

It didn’t make sense that he just stuck with me from start to finish.

“Well, that’s it for today’s broadcast! I’m so tired I think my face might get even uglier!”

And in the meantime.

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, Rung Rung Pa.

[ You definitely looked good when it was dark earlier, but seeing you in bright light, you’re pretty beaten up ]

“What? Are you crazy?”

– Hahahahahahaha

– The fact is that Lung Huang lololololololol

– It’s not easy though

– Gotta agree with that

– Hahahahahahahahaha

– Too much

– Bye

– Bye

– Bye

“Then you’re all too much!”

“Thank you for watching favorably! Please show lots of interest in my broadcast too!”

– Properly inserting that straw until the very end

– As expected, bloodsucking mosquitoes are the worst lololololol

– Bye

– Bye~

– Bye!

EV has ended the broadcast.

And as soon as I confirmed she ended it.

Tap tap tap tap!

I immediately ran toward the Stalker.

Since the distance was something I could catch up to quickly anyway.

As soon as I picked up speed and ran, I was able to reach the Stalker quickly.

“What are you, why do you keep following me around, stalker?”

Since there was no need to be kind, I got straight to the point.

“S-stalker! I, I was worried! I followed because I was worried! In case you did something, something foolish! I wanted to protect you!”

“Crazy bastard.”

Why would I do something foolish when I’m going to become the Streamer King.

Would I really fall into ruin by doing stupid things?

Of course, there was no reason to explain all of this to him one by one.

“You seem like a repeat offender, this is a crime.”

Kiiiiing.

The pocket on my chest.

The Phone Camera is recording the current situation in real time.

At least with something like this, the police should be able to issue a perfect restraining order.

The moment I had that thought while observing his movements.

“Cr, crime is what you did that’s criminal! You, you crazy bastard!”

Suddenly the guy had a fit.

“Ru, rubbing up against Lera and… even EV… you son of a bitch! I! I got banned from Lera’s room because of you! I subscribed for 10 months!”

And simultaneously with his fit, what he pulled from his jacket was a Sword.

A Daiso Kitchen Knife that anyone could easily purchase.

The moment I saw it, the first thing to react was my body.

Normally, having been holed up in my room for 3 years without proper exercise.

I was a complete outsider when it came to martial arts.

Thwack!

Very naturally, my leg was refreshingly kicking Stalker’s calf.

A Calf Kick that could only come from reaching a level achieved through long periods of training.

“Argh!”

Immediately Stalker’s body collapsed.

I naturally kicked hard at the hand holding the lowered Sword with my other foot.

Clang.

The Sword fell to the floor quite anticlimactically.

“Mu, Mungi sir… wh… what suddenly?!”

EV arrived belatedly.

I cleanly summarized and conveyed the situation to her.

“Situation handled, call the police.”

But my heart-pounding first collaboration content turned out to be crushing a malicious viewer in reality.

‘Mungi punishing bad viewers is cool, so Munchu.’

If this had been a broadcast, it would have been a moment where I’d want to say something like that.
