Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 87: Why are we Really Meeting Each Other?

Introducing a Pro Gamer.

Honestly, I wasn’t interested at all.

I didn’t care about pro gamers.

I preferred playing myself to watching professional matches, so the thought of being drawn into it didn’t appeal to me.

But I couldn’t just say I didn’t want it, so I gave a vague response.

“Then, if you get the chance later, introduce me. I am a little curious about pro gamers.”

“Okay. I’ll introduce you later when I have the time.”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: He’s going to introduce you to Rize.]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Seriously, I’m so jealous.]

[I want an intro to Rize too...]

[It’s not just anyone, Rize is something to be jealous of.]

[This is Kang Hu-min: If you become friends with Rize, can you go to Leo Re’s matches?]

[joy: Pro gamers watch a lot of internet broadcasts, yeah.]

[How much can they really watch though?]

[They’re always in front of their computers, so they watch broadcasts by default.]

“Let’s leave the introduction for later and just duo for now. You said twenty bucks, right?”

“Oh, twenty bucks.”

“How are we splitting it?”

“Obviously 50:50. Why are you asking that?”

“50:50 sounds a little much. Hmm...”

“Eh?”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: But honestly, Dam-a should get a little more.]

[Dam-a’s tier is higher.]

[And if Dam-a hadn’t agreed to duo, they wouldn’t even get the money, right?]

[This is Kang Hu-min:: Let’s go for 90:10. Go go.]

[90:10 sounds tempting.]

[I'd love to live in a 9-man harem, though...]

[Temporary Exit!]

[What is this guy?]

[This is ridiculous.]

[Well, the desperate one is them, so whatever.]

Negotiating is important here.

It would be fine to stick with the 50:50 ratio, but considering the situation, it wouldn’t make sense to just go with it.

I needed a bit more for myself.

“50:50 sounds fine, but... I think 70:30 would be more reasonable for me.”

It was a generous offer on my part.

Without me, they wouldn’t even get this money, so I felt justified.

When I said that—

“Wow, now you’re just going all out. Has your stream gotten bigger?”

“Heh, just give me a little more of the ratio, and I’ll be happy.”

I didn’t want much.

Just a little more of the ratio, and I’d be satisfied.

We kept negotiating until both sides were content.

How long did we negotiate?

“...60:40.”

“Confirmed.”

Finally, we settled on the ratio.

60:40.

Of course, I was getting the 60%.

It might look a bit tacky to act like this over money, but it’s 20,000 won.

The amount to buy a chicken.

If I could buy a chicken for Yeram with it, then I didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Finally, it’s settled. Fuck.]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Why did it take so long to decide?]

[Someone just give Dam-a more money.]

[This is Kang Hu-min:: Fact: People watching Dam-a’s stream don’t have money.]

[Simple fact, yeah.]

[I don’t have money either.]

[joy: Other streams have big spenders, but why don’t Dam-a’s streams have any?]

[It’s actually strange. Women’s streams have big spenders, but why not men’s?]

[Dam-a <<< This guy just competes for pure fun...]

[Pure fun (average viewers)]

“Before, I had only twenty regular viewers. But now it’s grown a lot.”

I’m not someone who watches streams often, but I’ve never seen anyone grow like I did.

Growing your live viewers is way harder than increasing YouTube subscribers.

I must have some real talent.

[Seriously.]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Compared to before, this is just a mega-corp now.]

[It’s a dinosaur.]

[The dinosaur is a bit thin...]

[This is Kang Hu-min:: By the way, when are you revealing your face?]

[This is Kang Hu-min:: It’s about time to reveal it, right?]

“Face reveal? I have a condition for that. But I won’t say what it is because I feel like people will try to do weird stuff just to get it.”

The condition was 10,000 live viewers.

If I said that now, I could probably hit it.

With coordinates sent everywhere, it wouldn’t be that difficult.

But that’s not what I was aiming for.

‘10,000 viewers who genuinely want to watch my stream.’

I know it’s a difficult dream.

But if I work hard, won’t I eventually reach it?

Looking at my growth, I feel like I could reach that point.

With that thought in mind—

Ding-!

The queue popped up.

It was time to start the game.

“Alright, enough chatting, let’s win the game.”

“Let’s go. I think winning streaks are easy with us.”

“We’re duoing, so I don’t think we can lose this.”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: If you two fail a win streak while dueling...]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: That would be legendary.]

[I gave you a mission to succeed, and you fail? Lol.]

[You guys said you’d give money! Lol.]

[Pure skill, top-tier Dam-a duoing with Harin, and if you fail the streak... that’s...]

[This is Kang Hu-min: Let’s go.]

With that, we started the game.

The first two wins went very smoothly.

I carried top, and Harin carried bot—there was no way we were going to lose.

But the last game was the hardest.

“You damn bugs!!!”

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

Cursing just slipped out.

I don’t usually curse in Leo Re, but I couldn’t help it.

They were that bad.

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Seriously, those guys...]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Are these guys really Master level, or are they playing with a smurf account?]

[No way. These skills are just ridiculous.]

[Harin: Damn bugs, seriously.]

[This is Kang Hu-min: These guys suck so much. Lol.]

[Is this Master? I’ll just go to Master myself. Lol.]

[joy: This is unreal.]

“Aaahh...!!!”

But we couldn’t lose.

I had to get the money.

If we failed the mission here, the whole point of setting the ratio before the game would be meaningless.

“Alright, keep your head in the game. I really don’t want to win against these guys, but we have to.”

“You’re right. We can’t lose.”

I couldn’t give up the game out of frustration.

We had to win somehow.

With that thought, I led the team, even if Harin wasn’t of much help... she did at least contribute.

“Throw the lantern there. Please don’t do anything dumb. Your role is set.”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: This idiot, seriously. Lol.]

[Please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose.]

[Temporary Exit!]

[This is Kang Hu-min: I want to see Dam-a screaming as he loses 200,000 won. I want to see him screaming because he didn’t earn any money.]

[Temporary Exit!]

[This is really making me want to laugh. Lol.]

With that, I led the team.

Trying to keep everyone from messing around.

How much did I lead them?

[Victory!]

Finally, we won.

“Why are these guys in the same tier as me? It’s honestly so unfair. Just by looking at their skills, they shouldn’t be in the same tier as me.”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Calm down. Lol.]

[Why are you so mad?]

[He’s clearly mad...]

[If I were you, I’d be pissed too.]

[There are so many crazy people...]

[But you got the money. Let’s have a drink.]

[Money is important.]

[This is Kang Hu-min: Let’s handle the revenue share.]

“Phew. At least we won, so it’s all good. If we lost, I would’ve been so pissed, I’d have ended the stream.”

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Lol.]

[🗡️Omnipotent Cthulhu: Now that it’s done, let’s queue up again. Lol.]

[Let’s go right into the next match.]

[We should stream harder.]

“Okay, I’ve transferred the money to your account.”

“Thanks.”

As soon as the message about the transfer came, my phone buzzed.

Harin must’ve just made the transfer.

120,000 won had been added to my account.

That’s profit.

‘Maybe I’ll treat myself to something nice to eat.’

With the money in hand, I thought it’d be a good idea to take Yeram out for something delicious.

Then—

“Well, I’m going to head out now.”

It was time to end the broadcast.

I had earned the money and reached Grandmaster, so there was no need to keep the stream going.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu:?]

[?]

[Hwanhee:?]

[Harin: Wow, you’re just taking the money and leaving.]

[This?]

[Kang Hu-min: Turn it off.]

And with that, I ended the broadcast.

[Broadcast has ended!]

How much time passed?

“Hello...?”

I was greeting someone I had never seen before.

Of course, I had heard of his name.

“I’ve heard of you, Rize.”

I remembered Harin saying she’d introduce him, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon.

Now, what should I say?
