Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 – Rete’s Inflow (3)

I think people have a finite amount of luck.

No. This could be debatable depending on the person.

What I wanted to say was…

At least, this principle seems to apply to me.

Coming to this reversed world could be considered lucky, and getting a body that’s not just healthy but superior could also be considered lucky. Even though there are some minor flaws with the body.

And the fact that my broadcast is growing quite rapidly is also lucky.

Perhaps those things have used up all my lifetime’s luck.

Or maybe it’s not misfortune, but rather a disaster I brought upon myself.

“How is this even possible! What kind of game is this!”

-This is what gaming is lol
-Totally getting screwed for real
-How is this even happening lol

The first few games after starting were absolutely perfect.

I purely overwhelmed foreign players with skill, and even in situations that seemed unlucky, I covered it with skill and finished all matches in first place.

But gradually, viewers started showing signs of boredom.

It was probably because I was so focused on the game that I didn’t have much special interaction with the viewers.

That was my mistake. Internet broadcasting isn’t just about being good at games.

So I gathered viewers who had Switches and started racing with 8 people.

I hoped that by changing up the matches and playing with viewers instead of random people, it would create a different atmosphere.

Hmm. Maybe this was my mistake too.

Until then, even with bad luck against regular people, it was at a manageable level and I could cover it with skill, but…

The seven viewers who started playing with me seemed to have some kind of madness about them.

When they couldn’t handle the speed, they crashed into my kart, used items on me whenever possible, and those who fell more than a lap behind started blocking my path completely.

I was in second place, I think. It was bearable. They made plenty of mistakes among themselves due to poor coordination.

Even though I prefer calm things, being born male, I naturally have competitive spirit like the women of this world.

Having already proven my skills up front and being full of confidence in them, I challenged the viewers.

Saying I would win no matter how many items they used.

Ah. This could be considered a mistake too.

When thinking about it from the perspective of the reversed world.

A man winning against women in games and making statements that seemed to look down on their gaming skills.

It would be strange if their pride wasn’t hurt.

The experience of facing gamers who were awakened by ‘that statement’ of mine… I don’t want to think about it.

Four people chased after me, and three people waited until I completed a lap before starting to block my path.

Items targeted me without the slightest error, and the three people blocking the path showed fantastic teamwork.

Plus this game… no matter how you look at it, path blocking shouldn’t be that easy, but they managed to do it.

5th place.
5th place.
5th place.
Another 5th place.

It would have been better if I had come in last place instead of this.

A low ranking score, but not quite last place. Because of the three people blocking the path, I couldn’t even fall below 5th place.

It’s true that my skills were far superior to theirs, but I was helpless against the concentrated interference of seven people working together.

I’m playing the game, but my rank is predetermined.

No matter how much time I invest or how much I concentrate, the result is always 5th place.

And now.

“Just one more match… without items. Without blocking…”

-What’s the fun without those?
-Banning items is too much lol
-It’s not blocking, just bumping into you… haha

“Stop joking around… just one match…”

-Is that how you make a request?
-When making a request…
-Oh this is…
-If you ask politely we might consider it

“With those conditions… please… just one more match…”

-LOLOLOLOLOL
-Legendary lolol
-Clipped it instantly
-Love seeing you beg lol
-Submission and obedience uwu

While only 7 people in the game lobby are actually playing, I’m begging 800 people. Is this the right situation?

It might not seem rational to be doing this just to win one game, but I absolutely cannot end the game like this.

And the next match after that?

… 5th place.

Hmm.

I guess I should have directed my pleading at the 7 players rather than the 800 viewers.

Seeing as they still didn’t stop.

###

Only the sound of waves can be heard at the quiet nighttime beach.

One person sits quietly in the wide bay.

A person holding a fishing rod.

-We’re sorry
-Please stop ㅠㅠㅠ
-We won’t do it again please
-I’d rather watch more Minecraft…..

How pitiful are those who don’t know the joy in calmness.

‘Animal Crossing’, a healing game that can be played on Switch.

It’s the kind of slow-paced, calm game that I like.

After being thoroughly toyed with in Mario Kart that I had started confidently, and spectacularly failing even the last race, I immediately turned off that game and started looking for another one.

Since I had already gotten permission from Ari to play any game on her account.

That’s when this game caught my eye.

There are rumors that even with this healing game, Koreans try to find efficiency in playing it, but that doesn’t apply to me.

… Looking at Ari’s play traces, it might apply a little, or actually a lot to her.

Anyway, this was quite fun. At least for someone like me who enjoys this kind of thing.

Having meaningless conversations with cute furries or walking around the village with a butterfly net.

It feels like returning to childhood.

During this, one viewer informed me about the fishing content.

Since I wanted to try various content anyway, I immediately went fishing.

And the fishing content I encountered in this game was more fun than anything else.

While I’m not particularly interested in real fishing, doing it in the game became addictively fun.

-The game is too frustrating
-I’m going crazy
-Why are you playing so differently from how you look
-Who recommended this, come out
-I didn’t know it would be like this either ffs

“How can you say this isn’t fun. I don’t understand.”

-It’s boring after just 5 minutes but you’ve been doing it for 20
-We’re losing viewers
-Really disciplining the newcomers

Ah. The viewer count has dropped to the 600s.

Maybe I went too far.

Playing the game with completely broken mentality, I wasn’t thinking about the broadcast.

I should stop now… that would be right, but.

“… Can’t I do this just a bit longer?”

-Please turn it off quickly even now
-This is too hard…..
-We were wrong we’re sorry…………

What a regrettable reality.

Moving away from the fishing spot and walking aimlessly, viewers started to shed tears.

-Finally ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Mark I’m sorry for ignoring you ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-It was really a god-tier game ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“You guys really don’t know games. You don’t understand what’s fun.”

-I didn’t want to know this
-This is… fun…?
-This thing….?

Well, that didn’t last long either.

From the start, doing anything in the game for too long on broadcast was problematic.

Games suitable for broadcasting need to be ones that can generate more immediate reactions.

After wandering around a bit, I saved and quit the game.

“There’s still quite a bit of time left, what game should I play?”

Looking through Ari’s purchased game list, there were all sorts of games.

Even Minecraft Switch edition was there. Though there was viewer resistance and I had no intention of playing it, so I just passed over it.

Then suddenly, a donation arrived.

[MarioParty donated 10,000 won!]

(Viewer participation Mario Party, 50,000 won for victory, unlimited attempts)

“Ah.”

Viewer participation means playing with viewers.

They want to gather viewers and play Mario Party like we did with Mario Kart earlier.

This sounds like trouble.

In a crazy luck-based game, with viewer interference on top, isn’t the future obvious?

With my mentality already broken from Mario Kart, if I do that too… honestly, I’m not confident I can handle my emotions.

Surely.

Surely the broadcast atmosphere will get weird.

I’ll unnecessarily lose the viewers who joined today and public opinion will worsen.

I guarantee it.

-Why are you pretending not to see
-Look at Geum Taeyang’s eyes going crazy
-Wow are you really going for it lol
-Viewers will definitely come back let’s go Taeyang

Hmm.

50,000 won.

Hmm.

Well.

I’ve had enough bad luck today, so maybe it’s time for some good luck to come my way?

The viewers want it this much too.

… So me turning on Mario Party right now is absolutely not because of the money.

There are… reasonable… reasons for this.

Since I’m not someone who moves for money…

.

.

.

“Yeahhh!!!”

As expected! The results of rational choices don’t betray me!

Though I was terribly ganged up on by the three viewers playing together from the start, there was a great reversal at the very end!

Of course, there were two defeats before that but…

Though I wasted two games that take an hour each but…

Anyway, only the final calculation remains.

When the game ends, a mushroom-like character appears and talks about records from the game.

Things like who earned the most coins and such.

That character is rambling on about something, but it’s not very important.

The game is already over, so these are just meaningless records.

Hmm.

No.

This isn’t right.

[Bonus awarded to the person who collected the most coins!]

[Bonus awarded to the person who moved the least!]

?

“Huh?”

-?
-?
-?

I had collected 4 stars so far.

And the player in last place with 2 stars gets 2 bonus stars.

If players have the same number of stars, rank is determined by the number of coins.

The huge display shows Player Rete in second place.

That’s me.

“…”

-LOLOLOLOLOL
-This is too funny lolololol
-This is what gaming is lololololol

Ah. There was one more thing I hadn’t anticipated.

Even when my mentality broke and I got irritated, the broadcast atmosphere didn’t get weird.

2 AM.

Broadcast ends right on time.
