14. [Night Soul] Streamer, Want to Try? (1)
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━Remarkable indeed… They say the world is vast and masters are plentiful, and it seems that wisdom rings true. Your technique places you among the ranks of the most exceptional masters.
Admiration.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━I propose an exchange—your enlightenment for my divine techniques and profound teachings. If you share the strategy for conquering the boss monsters of [Night Soul]… I too can offer corresponding instruction in return.
A proposal.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━If you teach me the method to conquer the boss monsters of [Night Soul], I shall impart to you the enlightenment of [Infinite War] in exchange.
Geom-hu, manipulating the streaming window to send his voice through donations, chuckled inwardly with self-satisfaction.
‘Hehe! My divine techniques… not merely receiving the essence of [Infinite War]—but the chance to stream together! Now, what do you say? Isn’t it enticing?’
Of course it was.
[Infinite War]. Geom-hu was counted among the most legendary professional gamers of that game—now a major streamer.
Rejection? I hadn’t even considered it. Even if my popularity had surged and my viewer count had grown rapidly, it couldn’t compare to Geom-hu’s.
Surely they understood better than anyone how significant this opportunity truly was.
《 Enlightenment…? 》
But then…
‘Huh? …Hmm? Wait, why does the response seem strange?’
Something felt off.
《 Wow…! R-really? Y-you mean Geom-hu…? Y-you’ll teach us…? M-my brother…!? 》
Myeong Bang-ul—Joo Seo-yoon bounced excitedly, her limbs fluttering with joy, but the one who had actually received the proposal showed a different reaction. She appeared indifferent.
《 Hmm. 》
It was the response of a merchant who had calculated that the deal didn’t add up.
Before Geom-hu could fully grasp this peculiarity, the answer came back.
《 Well, I’m not sure about that… If you want to learn how to conquer the boss monsters—I’d prefer different compensation. 》
The tone sounded indifferent.
《 A tuition fee. 》
…Geom-hu’s body stiffened, freezing in place.
‘…I was… rejected? Me? By… Geom-hu?’
…It was a moment of humiliation(?) she had never anticipated.
* * *
Silence.
The chat in both the game and the streaming window seemed to have suffered a communication breakdown, with messages trickling in sporadically.
Joo Seo-yoon standing beside me gaped in shock, but Joo Seo-jin—standing at the center of this storm—remained utterly composed.
= Please set a mission. If you post a mission asking me to teach the strategy for conquering [Night Soul]’s boss monsters… I’ll give you a lecture right away for the tuition fee.
= ….
No—rather, the way Joo Seo-jin continued the conversation even seemed composed. Moments later, question marks flooded the chat.
-?????????
-For real??
-Wow hahahahahahahaha teacher Seojin has now rejected the proposal to merge Geomhujwa??
-Tuition lol the instructor literally said “give me the money” here hahahaha
-Is he seriously possessed by a money-loving spirit or something.. Shouldn’t someone exorcise the money demon that’s taken over Seo-jin teacher..??? He’s actually refusing this??????
The chat erupted, and it wasn’t just the viewers. Joo Seo-yoon’s mouth hung open in shock before her face crumpled, and she grabbed Joo Seo-jin’s shoulders, shaking them desperately.
= Why! W-why are you refusing?! Geom-hu is offering to teach you the very essence of Infinite War! And you’re asking for money in return? Does that even make sense?!!
= ?
Joo Seo-jin didn’t bother straightening his swaying body, maintaining an expressionless face that bordered on vacant as he answered.
= Well… how do I put it… enlightenment? Or something like that. I’d rather receive tuition fees than just exchange game knowledge, you know?
= B-but! Do you even understand how important that enlightenment is?! Geom-hu is a former pro gamer! A living legend of Infinite War! She was even on the news back in the day! You don’t know?
= I don’t.
= ….
Haha, what?
That’s hilarious lol
-???: What even is that, you nerd?
“Seojin’s controversy date, ‘I don’t know lol’ hahahaha”
-I said his face screams social butterfly, but he doesn’t even know Geom-hu..?
Wait… Geom-hu really doesn’t know? He’s a 4-time consecutive champion of the Infinite War World Championship?? Lol seriously
Geom-hu. A legendary pro gamer who had won four consecutive Infinite War World Championships. The chat exploded at the revelation that I knew nothing about her.
Ding—.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated 100,000 won.]
━Ha… haha…! W-well, that’s certainly possible! If you don’t know who I am, then refusing my proposal is only natural…! If you wish to charge a price for sharing enlightenment, then I shall accept that gracefully…!
A donation.
Most voice messages sent as donations are provided through TTS with synthetic voices—but Geom-hu was responding with her own voice, not a virtual one.
Perhaps because of that, Geom-hu’s donation carried something unmistakable in that voice message: a slight tremor and an unmistakable sense of humiliation(?). An emotion that couldn’t be hidden.
Hahahahahahaha
Look at Geom-hu’s voice shaking lol
-Haha, Teacher Seojin only knows people who give her money, haha.
-Are you trying to teach Geomhu how to attack boss monsters in [Night Soul] for money? Haha.
I’m literally dying, I can’t breathe lol what do I do hahahahahaha
So it was that Joo Seo-yoon, flustered and moving like a wooden plank with creaking motions, offered what could only be called an apology—or rather, something resembling one(?).
= U-uh. I-I’m so sorry! My older brother is completely unfamiliar with such matters, so he doesn’t seem to understand what it means to receive instruction…! Please forgive him!
= That’s not it. If you teach me how to clear Night Soul’s boss monsters, isn’t that the same as teaching me the game Infinite War? I understand that much—
= Ugh—ah—! That’s exactly why! The fact that you’re saying such things proves you don’t understand this situation at all!!
= Hmm. I don’t think so. I think I understand. Or don’t I? I should, right?
= No! I’m telling you no! Kyaaaah!
= ….
But unlike Joo Seo-yoon, Joo Seo-jin continued to show no particular reaction, maintaining his consistent demeanor.
This pushed Joo Seo-yoon to the brink of stress, causing her to let out bizarre screams.
The chat in the corner of the streaming window never stopped laughing, but it was only for a moment.
Soon another donation began outputting a voice message, and Geom-hu’s peculiar laughter-tinged voice echoed through the stream.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated 100,000 won.]
━The mission… Since you’ve requested tuition, I’ll provide it as you wish. I’m prepared to accept it either way, so don’t worry.
And.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━However… Since we’re wagering a mission—or rather, a task—I’d like to add one additional condition of my own. How would you feel about this?
The next moment.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━Clear all the boss monsters of [Night Soul] without dying even once. Should you fail—you’ll become my disciple and receive the essence of [Infinite War] as the prerequisite.
Geom-hu’s voice message echoed through the stream, carrying an unmistakable tone of amusement.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━If, by some miracle, you succeed, I’ll give you ten gold coins.
-?
-Insane..
-Ten gold coins..? By Geom-hu’s conversion..?
-Damn.. He’s betting 10 million won as the mission reward?? And teaching [Infinite War] even if you fail????????
“Lol seriously?? That’s crazy lol”
It was straightforward.
[Streamer Geom-hu has set the mission reward to ‘10,000,000 won’.]
━Well then… What will you do? Will you accept this task?
【Mission: Clear all boss monsters of [Night Soul] without dying even once】
*Time Limit: 14 days
…It was a retaliatory(?) proposal—one designed to drag me into his domain and establish a master-disciple relationship by any means necessary.
* * *
The outcome was obvious.
10 million won. The largest sum ever wagered in any mission I’d received while playing [Night Soul]. The answer was already decided.
[Mission]
━Objective: Clear all boss monsters of [Night Soul] without dying even once
*Mission Reward: ‘10,000,000 won’
*Failure Penalty: ‘Play [Infinite War] as Geom-hu’s disciple’
Joo Seo-jin gazed at the mission details displayed on the streaming window, offering a rare, awkward commercial smile.
= Mm—Geom-hu. Thank you for the mission. I won’t disappoint you. I’ll do my best.
= ….
Joo Seo-yoon watched that forced smile from beside him, her lips moving silently before she exhaled a sigh.
=Brother… Seriously, this is insane… in so many ways…
=?
=Phew— It’s nothing. Just… talking to myself. Oof! Goodness—!
=I see.
=….
To her subtle hint, Joo Seo-jin simply accepted it as is—his bland response left Joo Seo-yoon at a loss for words.
Hahahaha
-Iron wall defense!
– Wow.. Now even in a battle of wits, I win with no damage ㄷㄷ;; Freshly prepared!
-Bangul-ah… stop it… you’re the only one who looks ugly now… ㅠㅠ…
At this point, Myeong Bang-ul’s attempts to hint at Joo Seo-jin had become nothing more than petulant pouting (?). The viewers chuckled, but it didn’t last long.
=Ah. And… that- [Infinite War]…? Even after clearing the mission, I’ll learn it from Geom-hu. Consider it a bonus service.
A sudden bombshell statement. Joo Seo-jin delivered it without changing his expression, and in the next moment, his eyes gleamed slightly as he added:
=So, I hope you’ll continue to set many missions for me. I’ll do my best to ensure you don’t feel disappointed, Geom-hu.
-???…
Even if I clear the mission, I’ll still learn about Infinite War… it’s a service… lol. Ugh, this is so frustrating lol.
-Mission clear, talking like you already did it lol you’re crazy with those service jokes, seriously aren’t you insane lol
No way… You’re not seriously saying you’re going to clear all the raid bosses on no-death mode…? Even if it’s Teacher Seo-jin, that’s a bit much lol
Bonus service. In other words, even if he cleared the mission Geom-hu set, he’d still perform [Infinite War] for him. Joo Seo-jin saw it as a courtesy toward Geom-hu… but those receiving it didn’t see it that way.
Ding-
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
━Hehe… You seem confident. Good, very good. That’s the spirit of a true man. I’m impressed. Truly. Your ambition has genuinely moved me.
Despite the praise-filled words, Geom-hu’s tone carried a faint irritation—what people call being “pissed off”—underlying his voice.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
━I too shall follow your example and add an additional reward for success. How does that sound?
Well… what Joo Seo-jin said, interpreted differently, was: ‘I can clear that mission anytime I want.’ —an arrogant declaration of intent if there ever was one.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
━How about we make a wager on how we address each other? If you fail, from the moment you receive instruction in [Infinite War] from me… you must address me as ‘Master’ and serve me with utmost devotion.
In other words—it was a provocative (?) statement. Pure, without malice, yet capable of infuriating anyone. And… people tend to have outbursts when their pride is wounded.
[Streamer Geom-hu has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
━Hmm… Conversely, if you truly clear every single boss monster in [Night Soul] without dying even once—yes, then I myself shall address you as ‘Master’ and serve you. Though, that’s hardly likely to happen.
Especially—as a former professional gamer with considerable pride, Geom-hu had no choice but to react this way. That’s why he made the provocative proposal.
-?????????????????????????????????
“Wait, seriously? If Seo-jin teacher loses, I have to call Geom-hu my master and speak respectfully to him?? And treat him with utmost care?? That’s ridiculous lol”
-Sarcasm mode ON lololololololololololol and lololololol this is hilarious lololololol
Unable to just accept defeat against the terrifyingly unprecedented provocation (?) created by Joo Seo-jin’s innocence.
But… if Seojin teacher actually kills all the Nido boss monsters with no-death runs, how are we supposed to deal with that…? I’m seriously asking because I don’t know… ;;
…Even if it was an action far removed from rational judgment—one he could only come to regret.
