Chapter 206
You say you're going to help with a confession.
Of all people, Ha Eung Eung?
"Are you serious?"
[If you don't want to, just say so.]
As soon as I asked in doubt, a blunt reply came back immediately.
Dashman snapped to attention.
"How could I not want to?! I was just a bit surprised. Guild Leader, you seem like someone who..."
[What about me?]
"Someone who would say things like 'no dating until you're as strong as me,' haha. That was a bit of an exaggeration, wasn't it?"
Ha Eung Eung made a slightly pained expression.
"Haha. You're joking even with your expression."
"..." "Is it a joke, though?"
Was it a joke or not?
Usually, she'd write notes with no problem, but the silence only made Dashman more confused and fearful.
Ha Eung Eung was confident.
"Dating and giving advice are best left to those who've never tried it."
The days when she was a man, memories now faint.
She remembered the dating skills learned through dating sims.
"...Isn't this some kind of punishment game?"
[You don't trust me now?]
"This really doesn't seem right. Telling me to run out from around a corner with a loaf of bread in my mouth and crash into someone..."
Dashman flatly refused.
If he didn’t want to, what could he do?
Ha Eung Eung gave another piece of advice.
"Trip and fall, and land on Saint Eve’s body?"
[It's a high-level technique called Lucky Pervert.]
"Guild Leader! Where did you learn this dating technique?!"
Where, indeed?
[From a dating sim, obviously.]
"A GAME?!"
Having asked for serious advice, Dashman was now losing his temper.
But he realized something was off.
"Wait. Guild Leader, wasn’t this your first time playing a dating sim?"
[There are computer games.]
"I heard you were only training in the mountain before you played that game...?"
It was hard to explain.
Going back to the time when she was a man before her transformation into a woman, would be too much to explain.
It also felt wrong to lie, considering her strong aversion to lying.
A tricky situation.
Ha Eung Eung clenched her fist.
‘Should I just punch him to avoid this?’
Violence solves all crises, the typical Murim way of thinking!
But there was no need to throw that punch.
"I understand. Guild Leader, you were just curious about dating, right? That’s why you resorted to dating sims and V-tubers, getting confused about what real relationships are like!"
[Huh?]
"Ah, I get it now. You’ve been focused on training, so you didn’t learn how to date normally. That's why you had to turn to V-tubers. Your innocent confusion between dating sims and reality... You, Guild Leader, must be like that!"
Why did he suddenly start getting all fired up with this theory?
"I’m a man too, you know. If I’m challenged, I can’t just back out."
[To make it a fair competition, we need judges. Since I proposed the challenge, I'll let you choose the judges.]
"Fine. I’ll make sure you won’t back out later. My stream might not be as popular as yours, but it still has about 2,000 viewers."
Dashman said proudly.
"We'll make the viewers the judges for the competition! Whoever loses must accept the results!"
[That’s exactly what I wanted.]
Dashman’s dating coaching turned into an unexpected new broadcast content.
[V-tube Partner BJ]
[Dashman is starting a broadcast.]
[Category - Just Chat]
[Broadcast Time - 00:00:01]
[Viewers 2050]
Dashman.
His stream had grown phenomenally, from 200,000 subscribers to 1 million since the 2nd Silent Swordmaster Martial Arts Tournament held six months ago.
BigHaDashman hiWhat did Saint Eve say about the food you made last time?Quickly show the feedback “please”You said you would upload the edited video, right?Didn't you say you'd start the broadcast after the video went up?
Dashman’s main broadcast content consisted of two things:
Production and Competitions.
If you were to divide it by broadcast shares, it was 9:1.
Are you the craftman?Stop being the producer! Stop!When is Dashman coming on?What nonsense are you going to make today to mess with Saint Eve?Turn on the camera already!
The edited version of the meal prep for the 4th round will be uploaded today.
(3rd round of Saint Eve's meal prep failed, it was used as a spare by Man-deuk)
LOLThis is itMan-deuk is going to explode hahahaFirst, second, third rounds weren’t enough, and now Man-deuk has to take the 4th round too hahahaWar of Legends, Deep Sea Duo, here we go again hahaha
Dashman’s production content was quite solid.
He worked hard to make something and then gave it to the people who wanted it.
When the customers—usually fellow streamers—were satisfied, that counted as a success for the production, and the content was considered a failure.
Yes, success meant failure.
On the other hand, failing to create something was considered a success for the content.
By giving the failed "trash" to the other streamers, they would demand compensation, which would result in Dashman enduring all sorts of hardships. This was how the content was "complete."
‘Look at these evil bastards in the chat. How did none of them cheer for me when I failed?’
He knew his failures were funnier, but even so, not one person was cheering him on.
It was a bit hurtful, but the viewers were objective about it.
If the viewers were made the judges for the competition, Dashman could at least be sure that the judging would be fair.
Ding!
While Dashman waited for the viewers to gather, he received a phone call.
[Caller - Man-deuk]
It was Man-deuk, the master of "trash content."
"Hey, is that you, Man-deuk?"
Don’t you dare feed me another Dark Matter that will leave both of us dead. I swear I’ll kill you.
"Oh, it’s not like that."Your viewers are saying they're ready for the 4th round of trash content?
"I’m telling you, it’s not like that."**Then why are you starting the stream? You're making people anxious."
"I'm about to start a competition. I have to begin now, so I’ll hang up."Alright, okay.
"Don’t eat anything today since we’re doing the 4th round of trash content tomorrow."You little...
The call ended.
While he was talking, enough viewers had gathered.
He quickly turned on the video and sound.
A flurry of hooks and questions filled the screen.
【Today’s Schedule】
[Today’s Content - Competition]
[Opponent - Silent Swordmaster]
[Competition Type - Love Coaching First Success]
How could he resist such hooks? But it wasn’t time to be surprised yet.
"Ah, this isn’t clickbait. You’ll be shocked when I tell you who I brought with me today!"
[▶ Accepted participation from Silent Swordmaster.]
The joint broadcast between Dashman and Silent Swordmaster was about to begin, revealing their competition to the viewers.
