Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 82: The Best Event Ever

Looking at the title, it didn’t seem like he was talking about something very important.

People who stream about stocks always talk about US stocks, so I didn’t expect anything too special.

With that thought in mind, I entered the broadcast.

‘I guess we made up last time...’

There were no bad feelings between us.

It was a bit awkward, but asking basic setup questions about the stream seemed okay.

That’s why I was now in Kang Hoo-min’s broadcast.

“Hmm...”

I was really struggling to figure out how to phrase my message.

We’d met in the Minecraft server and talked, but we were still a little awkward around each other.

How I started the conversation now would set the tone for our relationship going forward.

As I thought this, the perfect thing to say came to mind, so I quickly typed it out.

[DuGong: Hello, Kang Hoo-min!]

[DuGong: I’m the Dam-a you met in the Minecraft server, do you have a moment?]

Since Kang Hoo-min hadn’t really started the broadcast yet, I asked cautiously.

Ah, you’re that person. I have time.

Kang Hoo-min responded readily, which made me feel better.

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Oh, he accepted right away.]

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: I thought he wouldn’t accept, but here we are.]

[What does Kang Hoo-min think of this?]

[Kang Hoo-min: Hoo-min has terrible personality, but at least he’s got basic intelligence.]

[If he was stupid, he couldn’t have made so much money in stocks.]

[The fact is, he didn’t make that much money in stocks though...]

It seemed like things were moving along quickly.

With a good feeling about this, I typed my next message.

[DuGong: I need to set up dual computers]

[DuGong: I don’t know many people who can help]

[DuGong: I came here to ask if you could assist me...]

I asked politely and waited for a response.

Ah, that’s fine, no problem.

Once again, Kang Hoo-min readily accepted my request.

I thought to myself, Thank goodness, and quickly continued.

[DuGong: Do you have Discord?]

[DuGong: If you do, could you send it to me?]

[DuGong: It’ll be easier to talk if we communicate through that.]

Talking in the chat while streaming wasn’t very efficient, so it was much better to set up a Discord server and chat there.

I sent the message, and after a brief pause—

Sure.

Once again, Kang Hoo-min agreed casually.

At this point, I started to feel a little uneasy.

‘...Why is he agreeing so easily?’

Was there some ulterior motive here?

The Kang Hoo-min I knew wasn’t someone who would just agree to everything.

Feeling a bit awkward, I sent him my Discord information.

A moment later—

Ah, hello.

“Ah, yep.”

We began talking, and while this wasn’t the first time we were talking one-on-one, it still felt a little awkward, so I decided to wrap it up quickly.

“Let’s get to the point. I’ll share my screen in the Discord server, so please take a look and help me out.”

Okay.

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Can Kang Hoo-min even handle streams?]

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: He’s agreeing to help me with this.]

[ㅇㅇ He’s been in the streaming game for a while, so he’s pretty good at setting things up.]

[I’m good at it too, hehe...]

ㄴ You have been temporarily kicked!

[Ah, that’s annoying.]

[Why does it seem so awkward when you two talk? Lmao]

[I've seen them talk before, but it’s still so awkward.]

The viewers were commenting on how awkward my conversation with Kang Hoo-min seemed, but honestly, I was the one who felt the most awkward.

I never imagined I’d end up interacting with this guy like this.

But what could I do?

I couldn’t just stay awkward forever. It was better to get along and get things over with.

With that thought, I asked Kang Hoo-min about the broadcast setup.

Ah, for that, you’ll need to install a few other programs.

“Ah, that makes sense.”

And don’t mess with anything else, just stick to what I’m telling you.

“Got it.”

Surprisingly, I didn’t end up struggling to keep the conversation going.

Kang Hoo-min explained everything smoothly and thoroughly.

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Why is he explaining so well?]

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: He’s really good at this lol]

[That’s why he’s into stocks lol]

[The woman who made over 10 billion in stocks, crazy.]

[In stocks, I too made over 10 billion, yeah.]

[Just talking shit.]

[Kang Hoo-min: Kang Hoo-min’s good at talking about his professional field.]

It seemed like he was in a similar situation to me.

I’m not great at talking in general, but when it’s a subject I’m interested in, the words just flow.

How much time had passed?

“Ugh... Finally done.”

The dual computer setup was finally finished.

I love gaming, but I’m not that knowledgeable about broadcasting, so I was kind of stuck.

But with help, I got the setup done much faster.

Good job.

“Phew, you did more of the work, Hoo-min.”

That’s true.

“You’re accepting that a little too easily.”

Haha.

“...Should we wrap it up now?”

Yeah, let’s.

With that, we ended the Discord call.

But the broadcast room was still open.

I figured if I needed to contact him later, I could reach him through there.

Stretching my body, I thought to myself.

“Broadcast setup is seriously tough.”

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: It’s always hard to set up streams lol]

[It’s impressive you did it by yourself.]

[Some people can’t do it and have to invite other streamers to set up their stuff.]

[Kang Hoo-min: Dam-a has talent for streaming setup.]

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

[But you did finish it, so cheers!]

[Hwan-hee: So what now?]

[Let’s play ranked, let’s play ranked, let’s play ranked, let’s play ranked.]

Now that the broadcast setup was done—

“Okay, then I’ll go.”

It was time to leave.

There was no way I’d continue broadcasting at this hour.

Just being here was tiring enough.

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Did I hear that right???]

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Are you seriously ending the broadcast now?]

[No way, no way, no way, no way.]

[Kang Hoo-min: Haha, well, if it’s going to be like this, I’ll have to come out strong too, right?]

[Kang Hoo-min: Heh, make sure you choose wisely.]

[The fans are a bit scary, haha.]

[But seriously, you spent 40 minutes setting up the broadcast, and you’re not even going to play ranked?]

The viewers were clearly upset, but I didn’t care.

It wasn’t that important.

“Yeah, I’m ending it now.”

I’d started the broadcast just to set up, and there was no need to keep it going.

Saying that, I ended the broadcast.

[The broadcast has ended.]

How much time had passed?

“Wow, you’re still asleep, Oppa? Legendary.”

I heard Yeeram’s voice calling me.

I had just been sleeping, and now Yeeram was getting ready to go to school.

I hadn’t slept for long, and I checked the time.

“What the hell, why is it like this?”

The time was weird.

[3:34 PM]

I thought it was around 7 AM, but it was already after 3 PM.

Then, the reason Yeeram was still home was—

“...Did you already go to school?”

“Yeah. By the way, Oppa, sleeping all day is really something.”

I couldn’t believe it.

I’d never slept this long before.

I was surprised and stretched out.

Crack—!

It felt like every bone in my body was cracking, but at the same time, I felt relieved.

“Ugh... I didn’t expect to wake up this late.”

I sighed deeply, quickly washed my hair, and sat down in front of the computer.

Then, I turned on the broadcast.

“I’m going to stream, so don’t be too loud.”

“Yeah, I’ll just study.”

“Good attitude.”

Click.

A moment later—

[The broadcast has started.]

The broadcast was live again.

It was weird, since I had just finished it, but I checked the chat.

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Wow, starting early with the broadcast, huh?]

[Ah, seriously.]

[Setting up the stream and ending it right away is a talent.]

[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: I’m seriously annoyed...]

[But is there no one in the broadcast manager role? There’s always someone here.]

[When someone’s always here, that means they’re always around.]

Just as I was chatting for a bit—

Want to play Minecraft, Dam-a?

Suddenly, Harin jumped into the Discord server we had set up earlier.

“What, Minecraft now?”

They said they’re doing a huge Minecraft event.

That caught my attention right away.
