Hey you, Yoo Jin! Get out of Harmony’s body right now! Give us back the old Harmony who was terrible at FPS games!!!
“Aigoo, not even close. Hey! If you do well, you should get praised. But even when I do well, there’s no praise, only looking for Teacher Yoo Jin!”
Before the next match started in the waiting room, three people were idling in the back. Harmony’s voice, filled with rage and tantrums, burst into the chat.
Naturally, Harmony’s sudden improvement in skill brought a massive backlash. The quickly ballooning number of viewers in Harmony’s stream was proof, and the chat log, rising as fast as a machine gun’s RPM, sealed the deal.
Before long, the broadcast entered a lull. It had been over six hours since the streaming began. Except for Harmony, Hotteok, Limit, and Kim Stone had significantly lost focus compared to the beginning. Combat was originally like that. Although it was virtual reality and didn’t drain actual stamina, mental fatigue piled up.
The length of breaks taken after each round gradually increased. The same went for conversations. Only Harmony, whose mental resilience was reinforced with steel cables after overcoming numerous hardships with Yoo Jin, continued to engage in combat without much thought.
At first, the members of the Bonk Hammer Brotherhood were simply surprised by the skills. They pushed themselves into the illusion that maybe she drank water infused with Teacher Yoo Jin’s tail to fly around like that.
And here.
There were also those who were not pleased with Harmony’s performance.
<Mr. Luddite has donated 20,000 won!>
I don’t even have the energy to shake a carrot anymore… Damn it…
“Hey, Luddite, hhh, aigoo. Guys! Do some work! I always secure things for you!”
ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Are you living up to your nickname? Are you living up to it? Are you living up to it? Are you living up to it?
Everything’s going to get wrecked ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Help! There’s a green cat here that’s sucking the marrow out of editors!!!!!
Editors’ despairing cries ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Editors.
In other words, they were the only ones who were not beneficiaries but had their workload explode due to Harmony’s unexpected breakthrough after starting Dark Zone and meeting Yoo Jin.
If they were viewers, they’d scream with joy about the tsunami of content, but unfortunately, they were in the position of creating that tsunami. In short, their workload had exploded. Even with three editors working.
It wasn’t that they were entirely unprepared. With four streamers from the Bonk Hammer Brotherhood gathered, anyone with a slight interest could foresee the massive synergy created by Kim Stone, Harmony, Limit, and Hotteok.
Hence, there were about ten people editing videos under these four. In preparation for unexpected situations, the editors had even created a group chat room to communicate with each other.
But it didn’t necessarily work out well.
───Buzzz!
“Sigh.”
A sigh. All from Harmony’s editors.
Despite the considerable time since the broadcast started, the messages in the chat room showed no sign of stopping. The content was obvious. They had been discussing various topics in the same manner just a few minutes ago.
If we were to describe it, naturally, it was about the patron… no, the employer. Specifically, it was about the hidden skills that even Harmony’s editors were unaware of.
Editors had to know some aspects of Harmony’s daily schedule. Thus, they knew about Yoo Jin, a user every Dark Zone player should know, and heard about the employer practicing with her.
But this was… too much, wasn’t it?
Get in! I’ll provide covering fire!
Ratatatatata.
That was the kind of sound clip that came from another clip a few minutes ago. The employer’s loud shouts and ear-piercing gunfire. And the shockingly precise shooting accuracy, hard to believe it was Harmony’s. She… simply did well. That was the problem. Why did she suddenly get so good?
Maybe they just hadn’t noticed before. Hidden in Yoo Jin’s shadow, they hadn’t paid attention to Harmony’s support. The stronger the sunlight, the darker the shadow, but the story is different if the sun is right next to you.
Meanwhile, a message popped up.
[Chat: Harmony team’s workload exploded ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Damn them.
But it couldn’t be helped. Viewers could never have the occupational disease of editors. They couldn’t enjoy the broadcast as a broadcast. Clips and funny parts were editing points for them, and the daily broadcasts were pending work.
And today, it felt like there would be a lot of that work there were often matches in Dark Zone that were content-packed enough to be an edited video, but it was a more serious problem if every moment was captivating like now.
Especially if Harmony, considered a poor Dark Zone player until now, did that.
Meanwhile, the chat room created long before the group chat room of editors only for Harmony’s editors was in chaos like a napalm explosion.
Everyone was eagerly discussing who would edit which video. Recently, each Dark Zone video had hit over 600,000 views on average, so it was only natural that all three editors would jump on it.
Posting it would instantly push it to the top of trending videos, so who could resist? Plus, there would be incentives. Having work was much better than having none, and editing and posting meant money.
They just had to pour in crazy amounts of time.
The world works through the magic of adjustment.
Even the Yourspace video editors couldn’t escape the image of wrestling with video editing tools. They had to produce the best results without clashing with other editors under the same employer. What Luddite was doing was part of that.
Numerous folders and files were listed on the screen. With the development of editing tools and related technologies, editors no longer had to check every part manually. Files featuring only Harmony, separated voice scripts, and many other functions existed.
However, it didn’t change the fact that there was still a lot to do.
Fingers on the hologram keyboard, he added.
[Luddite: Listen up, you bastards]
[Luddite: Today, we die editing]
[Waltz: Crazy guy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Rubin: Just by the nickname, he seems like someone who would smash things while editing, but he’s the most diligent ㅋㅋ]
The night was not deep enough yet.
“…It’s a relief I’m not doing it with them, really.”
There was also an editor for Yoo Jin who let out a sigh of relief for the first time in a while.
The life of editors was indeed peculiar.
“Hmm….”
This is what it means to dissect someone with your gaze
Harmony would be freaked out if she knew ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Teacher, let Noknyangi play the game comfortably ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
From the cradle to the grave x from the cradle to the battlefield o
Oh, madness is showing in the eyes
A single donation.
It didn’t take much to completely twist the direction of Yoo Jin’s simple chat stream originally, she planned to play a game recommended on Tricky’s personal site, but now Yoo Jin was fulfilling her role as one of the over 10,000 viewers in Harmony’s stream.
It was a bizarre situation where a streamer was watching another streamer with her viewers, but if it was a real-time review rather than just viewing, the story changes. Yoo Jin was analyzing Harmony’s movements from various angles, noting areas for improvement.
Movement connection.
Pivot shift.
Tactical maneuver.
Target tracking.
Situation awareness.
The moment Yoo Jin’s gaze fell, checkpoints appeared, and areas for improvement were verbalized into a line of text. They piled up one by one. Even filled both sides. Three, four sheets and more. Of course, no viewers knew this.
It’s still not natural enough.
Such thoughts popped up in Yoo Jin’s head. It was natural. Training special forces in a few weeks was obviously impossible. But compared to others’ clumsy movements, the difference was clear. That was the truth.
Dark Zone was not real. It was a grand misconception many people had. Except for hardcore users, the fact that many variables, including the weight and recoil of firearms, operated differently from reality was erased from most users’ minds.
Because of this, ICARUS International gained freedom under the guise of crime through repeated training in virtual reality and accelerated it further in other words, they blatantly applied strong correction functions, allowing users to act as if they were special forces.
The algorithm based on the vast amount of user behavior data was the identity of the correction in Dark Zone thus, every user appeared at least on the surface as a special forces member.
In other words, intended flair and substance.
Yoo Jin’s gaze pierced through that gap accurately.
<Mr. Do You Like It has donated 10,000 won.>
Dear Yujin Teacher, whose tail is so beautiful, could you tell us what rank our Noknyang’s skills would be?
“…I really don’t want to answer because of that bizarre additional description before my name. But thank you for the donation.”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It’s so funny that you secretly care about your reputation ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Teacher, you are especially cute today ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Living point）Professor reacts best when teased with embarrassing nicknames
ㅜㅑ ㅜㅑ ㅜㅑㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
These damned guys.
That thought swirled in her head and disappeared naturally, viewers were not fools. And at the same time, they were the ones who could respond with the most spiteful “I don’t like it, no way” to a streamer’s words.
To put it another way, they wanted to tease the streamer they were watching more than anything else and the fact that a soft spot for Yoo Jin was only her embarrassing nicknames quickly spread among thousands of viewers.
Of course, if they crossed the line───
Bang!
“Ugh!”
They were dragged out and had their heads folded in half.
Yoo Jin, who had just harvested an evil viewer, spoke while looking at the screen.
“Since we’re playing the game right now, I’ll have to tell you later.”
Teacher, I don’t think it’s appropriate to say that while folding a viewer in half.
She’s the first to use the interview function so vividly like this, really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Later????
That’s a reward, a reward ㅜㅑ
Why is this a reward, you crazy perverts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Ignoring the rampant perverts, she started typing a message.
The content was simple.
Having sent the message in a blink, Yoo Jin left Harmony’s stream without hesitation she didn’t know when Harmony’s collaboration would end, but the person in question said it would take three days due to the extensive content.
There was nothing to gain by staying in that stream. It would likely be more of a hindrance.
And as with most events, the real work for Harmony would begin after the streaming ended though doing anything when tired was challenging, she added that they could talk later if it was too exhausting.
Harmony would surely appreciate the consideration.
Thinking so, Yoo Jin returned to her private room and started her own content.
“Now, let’s… try this levitation simulator today. It looks simple, but there are over a dozen control keys. Let’s see what kind of game it is.”
How do viewers always find these bizarre games no one else can?
With that thought, she started the game.
It took less than 10 minutes for Yoo Jin and her viewers to faint from the game’s crudeness.
[Yoo Jin: I’ve summarized the unsatisfactory parts of today’s play. Contact me after the broadcast if you have the energy. It’s okay to reply later if you’re tired (′？)］
“Moni, why did you suddenly freeze?”
“Well, that’s….”
Scary, so scary.
Harmony couldn’t rest.
