Chapter 461
“Yes, yes, I’ll be waiting.”
[Understood. I’ll quickly organize and send it over.]
The conclusion from my call with Park Kang-seok was to tackle the important tasks first.
Honestly, I wondered if there was anything that wasn’t essential among the incoming matters… but we can’t do them all anyway.
Plus, I want to take a break, so I’ll just pick and choose the tasks.
After taking care of the big stuff, I planned to have a real break before jumping into the zombie drama filming.
Anyway, after finishing the call, I clutched my head and lay back on the sofa.
Ugh, the hangover.
As for work, Park Kang-seok will sort it out later, so I can check then…
For now, the hangover is too intense, and I just want to rest.
Speaking of which, how did we part ways yesterday?
I remember definitely leaving the barbecue restaurant late at night… I even recall going for a second round.
We went to the karaoke room.
I was surprised at how well the other members of the band sang.
I think Park Kang-seok surprisingly sang well too.
Yeah, that was fun.
I got so into the mood that I was singing as well.
I remember only taking a taxi as dawn was approaching…
“Hmm…”
There’s no problem, right?
I took the taxi.
Got home utterly wasted and got smacked on the back.
And… did I sleep…?
No, that’s not it.
Why do I have a memory of sitting in the soundproof booth?
Suddenly, the missed calls from the members flashed in my mind.
…What time was that?
Now that I think about it.
I knew the topic of conversation had gotten heated, but did the members really call me?
Usually, if something like this happens, it would be loud in the group chat.
Feeling increasingly uneasy, I checked the time of the missed calls.
…It was all at dawn.
What did I even do yesterday?
I lay on the sofa, turning my head.
Clutching my pounding head, I began to realize something.
Well, I must have turned on the broadcast.
Then what?
…Should I check?
“Oops.”
I wanted to keep lying down, but I struggled to get up from the sofa and returned to the room.
Honestly, I didn’t have much on my mind while going to the room.
Am I the type to cause trouble when I drink?
Buhwang and Miro are the type to keep their cool while drinking, so there’s not much to worry about.
When I opened the tightly shut soundproof booth door, sure enough, I saw the monitor still on and the broadcast screen active.
If something big had happened, The Six would have likely shut it down by now, but seeing it on meant nothing serious had happened.
I must have accidentally left it running and gone to sleep, and the members probably tried to reach me.
Good thing I closed the door to the soundproof booth.
If I had left it open, the sound of the phone call would have been heard in the living room.
Then I would have nearly been discovered as the legendary actor Kim Soo-hyun and singer Miro.
*Cough, cough.*
First, I cleared my throat a bit and sat down.
“Ah.”
-???
-You finally woke up, lol
-Waking up early
Even though I abandoned my own broadcast to sleep, the moment I turned on the mic, the chat exploded with messages.
Did these people stay here all along?
“Hmm, uhm… why is the broadcast still on?”
-LOL
-LOL
-You don’t remember yesterday??
-You were sooo drunk
-Finally woke up??
“What do you mean ‘thanks for your hard work’? What did I even do?”
…I asked because I really couldn’t remember.
Still, as I had thought earlier, I’m not the type to blunder on air while intoxicated, so it shouldn’t be anything serious.
I trust myself.
More importantly, the mood in the chat seemed fine.
-So does that mean starting today, it’s no-break broadcasting, right?
-I believed in you, Legendary V-Tuber Miro!
-I heard the declaration of no more breaks!
“Me?”
These people.
There’s no way I would have said something like that!
Look at them fabricating things just because I said I don’t remember.
That’s why I need to keep my head clear while streaming to avoid getting played like this…
[Thank you for your donation of 1,000 won, ㅇㅇ!]
Shall we bet? Loser plays a horror game!
Hmm… could it be true?
Since they’re putting bets down, there must be some evidence in the broadcast clips.
“I guess I really did say that?”
-LOL
-So starting today, it’s no-break, right??
…I think I said that thinking I was on a break from now on.
I was confidently boasting while completely wasted.
I really drank a lot at the karaoke room.
“That’s because I only said that under duress.”
-????
-??
-Me
-You’re saying you won’t broadcast now?
-Lol
“Uh, well… I have a bit of a schedule, so daily streams might be tough?”
Even though there was clearly no schedule after yesterday, what could I do?
When I talked earlier, it seemed like I got offers from big variety shows.
If I go on all of those, then daily streams might be a bit too much.
-What’s with your schedule?
-Hey, you’re just saying that because you did the festival stage.
-Why do you have even more on your schedule??
-So streaming is just a hobby now, huh?
“…What are you all talking about? By the way… wow, I’ve had my computer on for too long… I should probably turn it off…”
Originally, I only planned to stream again in the evening.
Can’t I just turn it off and come back later?
-???
-Give it a try and see what happens!
-You better not turn it off!
-I waited 12 hours!
-You’re abandoning your viewers??
“Why are you all still watching me?”
I mean, literally, I turned on the broadcast and fell asleep, but they’re still here.
Do they all have more free time than others?
-You were the one who turned it on!
-If you didn’t want to, you shouldn’t have turned it on, lol!
-If you drink too much, you get to stream!
“…I guess I don’t have much to say, but right now I have a really bad hangover.”
I want to continue the stream more, but my hangover is just too intense.
I might seem like a professional now, but I really want to lay down on the sofa or bed right now.
-Then just come back later!
-If you promise to return in the evening, we’ll forgive you, okay?
-So the daily stream thing is valid, right?
“Then let’s talk in detail about it in the evening.”
It’s hard to keep streaming here anyway.
I asked for their understanding and wrapped up the broadcast like that.
“Phew.”
Then I immediately lay down on the bed and felt somewhat better.
I was surprisingly relieved that I didn’t make a huge mistake yesterday.
Well, I’ve done my share of drunk streaming by now.
It’s not like I’m in the stage of making mistakes anymore.
More importantly, a daily stream…
To be honest, that’s pushing it, but still, I want to stream often.
Maybe it’s time to start thinking about some content again?
Is there something sustainable I can do long-term?
Since just streaming haphazardly lacks longevity.
I need to focus and work on some content.
Honestly, the Civilization and Romance of the Three Kingdoms games fit perfectly, but it feels like I’ve done those too much.
Forget the viewers – I’m getting bored with them.
Anyway, after lying on the bed and pondering about content for a while, I fell asleep.
**
That evening.
After a good sleep, drinking some water, eating dinner, and getting a few hits on the back from Mrs. Jang for not drinking properly, I returned to the soundproof booth.
“Phew.”
I promised, so I should turn on the broadcast.
The hangover was fading a bit, but I hadn’t fully shaken off the fatigue from yesterday, so I started the broadcast setup while stretching out my sore body.
Now, I just half-heartedly set everything up with one hand and turned on the broadcast, and viewers started flooding in.
“I’m here as promised.”
-Wow, lol
-Came early!
-Legendary Miro!
-How’s the hangover?
“Ah, the hangover’s still lingering, but I think it’s manageable at this level.”
When I first woke up, I had a headache and felt nauseous, but after having the bean sprout soup made by Mrs. Jang, I felt much better.
-But how much did you drink??
-Why is there still a hangover, lol?
-You really must have drunk like a dog, lol!
“…I went a bit overboard since it’s been a while.”
How many bottles did I actually have yesterday?
I can’t even remember.
I think I just drank whatever was handed to me.
I even drank a variety of types.
Soju, beer, hard liquor, and so on.
I remember ordering and drinking all kinds of alcohol.
Surely, the band members got home safely?
Well… thinking of them, they probably made it back crawling or something.
“More importantly, I was pondering something while lying in bed earlier.”
-Oh?
-What were you thinking about?
-You ponder too?
“…No, I was thinking about maybe picking a game to play.”
-Oh!
-What game?
-I’m super anxious about this!
“What’s there to be anxious about? What’s wrong with the games I play?”
-LOL
-No conscience, huh?
-If you bring out a game similar to Civilization, I’ll kick you out!
“Oh come on, I won’t do that.”
I’m planning to exclude games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Civilization and look for something else.
What’s available…?
“Does anyone have any recommendations?”
As always, for dilemmas like this, I have to rely on collective intelligence.
Even though the broadcast just started, there are already thousands of viewers, so there should be decent answers…
-How about League of Legends?
-Let’s do a horror game, ㅇㅇ
-Just play whatever you were before
-Anything but garbage games would be fine
…That didn’t help at all.
There are groups of collective intelligence that give valid responses and those that lead you astray.
This broadcast seems to be one of the latter.
“Are the recommendations even valid?”
-What’s there to do instead?
-It’s up to you, you know?
-What are the trending games these days?
-Just play the zombie survival game you did last time!
“Oh, the game from last time?”
Are they talking about that one where we gathered first-year students in the celestial realm for a multiplayer session?
That one sounds pretty good.
It would let me run a long-term content series centered around survival, rather than just a couple of days.
-That sounds good!
-A survival series would be fun, I think.
-Let’s add a raider mode too!
“Is there a raider mode?”
Does that game actually have that?
When I played, the most threatening things were the running zombies or swarms of zombies hiding behind doors.
-Yeah, there are well-made modes!
-Let’s throw in raider mode and other extras too!
“Hmm, hmm… then how about I do a solo survival series?”
Should I try it as a single-player experience?
Though I thought about multiplayer for a moment, the logistics would be tough for long-term content.
Plus, since I have the contracted zombie drama to film, it makes sense to get used to the zombie genre through solo gaming.
“Okay then, are there any mod enthusiasts here? Please organize some mods and send them to me.”
Where can I get the mods?
Naturally, I have no plan to look for them.
This kind of task is better handled by an expert.
-??
-Do it yourself, lol!
-I don’t want to!
“Do I have to fry my own mods? Just get someone to quickly organize them and take home a gift certificate!”
-How audacious!
-You have lots of money; what’s a gift certificate for?
-Are you planning to skimp by only offering gift certificates?
“What’s wrong with offering gift certificates? If I give cash, the drawing becomes weird!”
These people underestimate gift certificates too much.
Organizing the mods isn’t a massive task, right?
Do that and take a 20,000-30,000 won chicken gift certificate in return; wouldn’t that be worth it?
Well, honestly, even if they grumble like that in the chat, it doesn’t bother me.
After refreshing the café a few times, there was already a post with a well-organized mod list.
“While you all are grumbling, this person has written the post to take home some chicken.”
-LOL
-Wow
-This shouldn’t be allowed, srsly!
“This is how a market operates. Labor and wages, right? All fits perfectly!”
-Our boss pay us in gift certificates…
-Evil boss, lol!
-Just because you have money doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!
“If you have money, you can do anything. This is the capitalism of Miro’s broadcast!”
-What the hell, lol
-ROFL
-This guy really has so much money that nothing can be said against him!
“Anyway, shall we take a look?”
Honestly, I was a bit worried that it may be hasty and poorly arranged, but upon reading it… it was better organized than I expected.
“This mod list has quite a few options, huh?”
I had only considered the raiders being added, but it seems like there’s a lot more.
From chopped-off arms being made into prosthetics, to bathroom functions, to various camping vans, and more.
Just taking a look at the mods seems quite fun.
“If I install all this, it’s like a completely different game, huh?”
-LOL
-That’s what modded games tend to be!
-You added many mods during collabs too, right?
“Did I? I don’t remember adding that many.”
The mods I installed back then were mostly just extra guns and some conveniences, not much else.
Getting a whole list like this and diving in seems refreshing, though.
“Okay then, let’s install them!”
Raider mode, huh…
I’m kind of looking forward to it.
Even though I’ve already taken down a few zombies in multiplayer mode.
Honestly, it shouldn’t be too hard.
Just a little added tension could be fun, right?
And so, I began installing game modes while pushing aside the hangover that remained.
