Chapter 321

[‘Seo Jun’ has started a broadcast.]
[Let’s gather here for a moment lol]

After turning on the stream, Seo Jun greeted immediately.
There seemed to be no need to wait.
He’d already made them wait long enough—this was his consideration.
“Hello, everyone. Good to see you.”
Hmm.
The chat wasn’t coming through.
What’s going on?
His follower count had swelled to around 3.8 million, an increase of over 3 million from before.
The power of the entire world.
There’s a reason they say you shouldn’t even take a dump without the whole world watching.
Of course, given everything Seo Jun had accomplished and how many people had seen it, the follower count was still relatively low.
It couldn’t be helped. Viewers from other countries rarely watched foreign live broadcasts.
Probably among those 4 million, the people who didn’t actually watch Seo Jun’s streams would see their follows automatically cancelled, and the numbers would eventually converge to an accurate figure.
So it didn’t mean much. Not for now, anyway.
Right, not for now.
“Why is this happening?”
The chat had started coming through, then stopped.

-Finally!!!! Streamer!!!!!
-You really are a bad guy lol
-I’m a foreigner but I’m downvoting lol

“Ah. The chat crashed.”
This seemed like the first time. Maybe?
“The viewer count is… hmm.”
It didn’t crash for nothing.
300,000.
400,000.
500,000.
The numbers were climbing steadily.
Insane.
“Everyone else is streaming, but how’s the firepower so good?”
Fortunately, whether Trabol was monitoring or recovery was just this fast naturally, the chat began flowing again shortly.

-It’s coming back!
-We’re alive!
-He handles things well!
-Streamer, you bastard! Doesn’t the firepower look bad?
-You should’ve turned it on right away!

“Welcome, everyone. It’s been a long time.”
Seo Jun spoke without showing his face.
It really had been a long time since he’d turned on a stream.
During the week the History Book was happening, he’d shown his face and done one-way communication, but he hadn’t actually streamed.
“I’ve really missed this chat.”

-You missed it so much you didn’t turn it on right away?
-Do you know how cold it’s been!!!!
-Finally I can breathe…
-This comment is already dead lol

The viewer count continued climbing as he spoke, not pausing for a moment.
No, the speed of growth had accelerated.
As the information that he’d started streaming spread elsewhere, it grew even faster.
‘How much higher will it go?’

-Wow wait, what’s with the viewer count
-Is this just one individual?
-The chat speed is insane!!!!
-So that’s why he did the Spirit Bomb!
-Fact) It would’ve been more if he’d turned it on at the end lol
-Could’ve been 10 million viewers lololololololololololololololol

Regardless of what the viewers said, Seo Jun’s viewer count soared wildly.
“Phew.”
Around 3 million, the growth rate began to slow.

-Didn’t we see 2 million during the Rios broadcast? That’s legendary
-Legendary lol
-Even foreign guys can’t hold back!
-Foreign guys please sleep on schedule! by a viewer with reversed sleep schedule

What was the Korean Trabol record again?
Seo Jun looked carefully at the chat. Surely related information would come up.
‘4.6 million? Shin Ha-yeon’s first live broadcast?’
That really is impressive.
That figure was only possible because of international support.
3.2 million.
3.3 million.
3.4 million.
The growth rate had slowed. That was 100,000 increments.

-Will he break the top record today?
-Korean highest!
-Ah lol So that’s why Shin Ha-yeon’s History Book came out. Did she become a god!!!!
-She’s Kael itself!!! Let’s break it!!!!!!
-I don’t know what it is but I feel like we need to lend our strength to the Korean people! Let’s go!!!!!

Seo Jun chuckled and replied.
“Can we break 4.6 million today?”
Responding to what viewers want is a streamer’s duty.
People get excited and spam chats like “Yeah” and “Let’s go”.
And meanwhile, the viewer count kept rising.
“Hello everyone. Yes, to our international viewers too. Thanks for the donations. By the way, we’ll do Question and Answer tomorrow. So let’s wrap this up!”
He’d raised the minimum donation amount to 500,000 won to prevent just anyone from donating, but people still did it anyway.
Fortunately they were just expressions of support, not questions.
Why fortunately?

-Wait why are we doing QnA tomorrow????
-Aren’t we supposed to do it today?
-Wait!!! Now that I think about it, why isn’t the broadcast showing?

“Yes. We’ll do it tomorrow. Because!”
Seo Jun stepped in front of the camera.
Then he touched the broadcast display again.
The camera, by the way, was a mobile phone.
Seo Jun in formal attire appeared.
“This isn’t my room.”
He read chats saying things like “No way?” and Seo Jun answered with a smile.
“Yes. I’m about to join the after-party. This is a Hotel room. I owed a lot during the History Book period.”
By the way, the after-party was happening at a Swimming Pool, and it started the moment Seo Jun turned on the broadcast.
And Mobile Phones were banned from that party.
So everyone could relax and socialize comfortably.
Because it was an event for the participants alone, not for the History Book or the viewers.
Which meant.

-Streamer???? Are you really abandoning us?
-A Hotel? I’m coming to terrorize you right now ^^ Just try it ㅎㅎ
-You’re lying right?
-Lollll in the meantime it’s a pool party but you wore formal attire, are you seriously trying to mess with us streamer? You better answer right?

“What? Saying the formal attire is to mess with us? I’m just wearing it because I’m not going in the water. I’ll be watching from the second floor.”
The Korean viewers who caught on start losing their minds.
They’re going wild.
They’re loving it to death.
It seems the international viewers are still having trouble following the situation.
Oh well.
“Wow! 4.3 million! Haha. When we pass this, you’ll understand right?”
Everything was going according to Seo Jun’s plan.

-Go! Go already! Go!
-When this guy hits the record he’s shutting down the stream. I’ve seen it
-Go go go go go go!!!!!!
-And you guys aren’t leaving either lol
-Ah come on please!!!
-The other streamers participating in the party turned on their streams ages ago and are already looking to shut down, but this guy turns on and immediately starts looking to shut down?

“Oh. Everyone, 4.5 million! 4.6 million! 4.7 million! Well then, I’ll be heading to the party. Thanks for watching.”
Seo Jun ultimately broke Trabol Korea’s record.
And in that moment, he shut down the stream.
In history, there’s probably never been a streamer quite like this.
No streamer has driven their viewers this crazy.

-^^Where do you live for real? Hey where do you live lolololololol
-Your personality… wow your personality
-fuck? We got abandoned?
-yep
-fuck! Used for the record?
-yep
-fuck! You do this to the viewers too? Not just on the History Book?
-yep
-fuck! So that’s who you really are, even on the History Book!
-Crazy charm lolololol I’m going insane
-Is this even charm?????

* * *

Seo Jun had a conscience.
So after wrapping up at the party, he turned on the broadcast again.
This time, 4 million people had gathered.

-Thank you thank you thank you thank you
-I won’t mess around ever again
-I’m just grateful you turned it on
-The embodiment of charm, Seo Jun!!! I love you!
-Training successful lol

He’d given them the highest viewer record.
While Seo Jun was at the party, the Korean record had been broken, and the community was in absolute chaos about it.
“So you’re saying I always break the top? Thank you. Well then, let’s do a quick Question and Answer now. Tomorrow I’ll have a schedule posted.”
Seo Jun answered various questions.
Mostly international viewers were curious, and Seo Jun always answered them sincerely.
“It’s because I remember my past life. My nickname was also a moniker from my past incarnation.”
“No, there’s no such thing as a certification mark for past lives?”
“You want me to open an Academy? Oh God of Kael? Haha. Money wouldn’t be a problem. But if I’m going to do business like that, wouldn’t it make more money if I became a pro instead?”
“I won’t be going pro. Yes. I already made that clear before I left.”
“What happened at that party? Water Walking? Ah.”

-He walked on water!
-Lol Sword Expert Jun’s story: That person walks on water
-What exactly are you doing streamer lol

He’d just ended up running from them because they were trying to push him in the water, and while dodging, he’d stepped on a Tube floating on the water with both feet and crossed the pool without falling in.
I guess that’s what they’re calling Water Walking.
“I don’t know anything about that.”
It wasn’t that important.
All the pros spoke the same way—one quick revenge would satisfy them—and rushed at him.
There were no exceptions.
He completely blocked any questions about whether he was going to turn pro and ended on a heartwarming note.
It really was heartwarming.
Really.
“Thanks for the donations. So what game am I playing next? Ah. I actually had something to say anyway.”
Over the past two days, Seo Jun’s inbox had been flooded with offers.
Advertising, appearances, Joint Broadcasts, interviews.
“Actually, how did you know? An offer came from the Dream Depart Team. But I turned it down.”

-Lolololol Of course an offer came when the Water Walking story came up streamer right?
-I was so tempted ugh

“But something else really caught my interest! What it is—that’s a secret.”
Seo Jun faced complaints once more, but it remained a secret.
The offer that had caught his attention was.
A special program called MAN vs GAMER.
It was an overseas program where participants formed teams and survived in two situations—once in the wild and once in-game.
The teams were divided into a gamer faction and a survival expert faction.
And they’d contacted him wanting Seo Jun as the leader of the gamer side.
‘I can’t pass this up.’
If it weren’t for the leader position, Seo Jun wouldn’t have given it a second glance. Did they know his nature that well?
But the offer had been slightly lacking, and because of that.
“Yes, it’s a secret. Anyway, since I need to join an MCN now, I’d appreciate lots more offers!”
For now, he was planning to join an MCN, which basically handles negotiations on his behalf.

* * *

“He turned down our show? A streamer?”
“Director….”
“Not understanding how big an opportunity to appear on public broadcast is—is it because you’re young? Because you’re trapped in the narrow world of streaming? Heh.”
“Yes….”
“I was trying to be nice about it… Tsk. He said some other show caught his interest? Go find out what it is!”
“You want me to find out?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“You think I’m going to sabotage him? I won’t do something like that! I’m just curious what kind of amazing show he’s trying to go to. Go check it out!”
“Understood.”
“Anyway. Do they think they’re celebrities? MCNs? They need management for that?”
The PD left, and the Director muttered alone.
“I don’t like it. If you called him, he’d do it right away. So what, like a streamer can succeed that much on broadcast.”

* * *

[Almost all the MCNs have sent offers! The overseas ones too!]

“Really?”
Which one should he choose?
It was a dilemma.
The overseas mega-broadcasters who hand out missions and shower money.
Established brand advertising too.
Which MCN would manage all those offers well and extract the best value?
“Let’s take a look.”
