Chapter 332
What kind of existence is Seo Jun to Korean gamers?
First off, he’s a streamer who appeared like a comet.
Not like some master player of a game or an athlete showing up to conquer a game—he just showed up out of nowhere.
You can tell by watching his *Dawn of the Assassins* game videos, which now have millions of views.
He’s a complete newbie.
Of course, their abominable streamer might have even faked that.
But believing that is hard when Seo Jun’s subsequent actions were so consistent.
So, he really did start streaming while playing a game for the first time. Then what are the odds that such a person would be good at games?
And not just good.
The best.
Not just conventionally the best, but so outstanding that the word "peak" isn’t enough.
From the moment he appeared, and ever since, he’s been hitting all-time legends—what are the chances of that?
[Naturally zero lol lol lol He’s simply the GOAT and the very essence of Travel’s streamer, you think he’s a joke?]
So Seo Jun is an absurd existence.
If someone had said before Seo Jun appeared that a streamer this mind-blowingly awesome would show up, even if they didn’t get cursed out, when betting on the content of that post, 100 out of 100 would bet on it being nonsense.
His very existence is a mystery.
But he appeared.
Even his real-life appearances are weird.
How did a talent like that come to be?
[A collection of Sword Seo-un stories lol lol lol lol lol lol lol This bastard’s been a legend since kindergarten lol lol lol lol]
- Rumor has it that during the year-end talent show, the kid in the same Sun Class spinning windmills was none other than the streamer—is that confirmed?
└ Just one of those common worship posts lol lol lol
└ But it could be true.
└ Is it true?
- When the streamer was born, the nurse cried loudly. Now that is definitely true lol lol
└ For real lol lol
└ Ugh, Sword Seo-un lol lol lol lol lol
- Lion got his hair grabbed by the streamer. This is also true lol lol
└ But Lion’s bald? How do you grab hair???
└ That’s Sword Seo-un stuff lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
The more Seo Jun rises, the more eyewitness accounts pour out.
And the more they come, the deeper the questions viewers have about him become.
That’s inevitable, because of what Seo Jun shows in real life.
[Seriously I don’t know what’s real and what’s not, and the Sun Class windmill <-- only thing I can tell is real, dear viewers hit recommend lol]
Because it’s impossible to tell.
This got even worse after the *Man vs. Gamer* episodes aired.
Before, it was half a joke, but after the broadcast, it started to seem actually possible.
Thinking that way wasn’t just the opinion of a few.
[He catches saltwater crocodiles with ease, so why couldn’t an elementary school kid take down high school thugs???? lol lol lol lol lol lol]
[And why couldn’t he do a windmill as a kindergartener?????]
[Isn’t it weirder that the streamer can’t see the future? Right?!!!]
The majority started thinking, "Really?" and a minority began taking it seriously.
Returning to the first question: what kind of existence is such a Seo Jun to Korean viewers?
Looking at a post that got over 3,000 recommendations.
[Let’s list keywords about the streamer.]
==
Hopeless game intelligence.
But turns out he’s a Korea University student with a smart brain.
Yet he has top-tier physical ability that doesn’t even need brains.
A personality king that shouldn’t exist.
The worst streamer in history who never turns on his broadcast, which is absolutely not allowed for someone given that much talent by the heavens.
A social menace.
A seed of chaos.
Add all that up and it’s the streamer lol lol I think I summarized really well?
==
- For real lol lol lol lol this is it
- Social menace is insane lol lol lol lol
└ Can you refute it? (post author)
└ Absolutely impossible lol lol lol
Seo Jun is said to be such an existence.
And after people saw that post, the assessment followed that Seo Jun is bound to be popular.
Because he’s nothing but elements that drive everyone crazy.
That’s the most important quality of a popular star.
This post gained sympathy from many, with over 3,000 recommendations.
But there was another post that got similar recommendations with even simpler words.
[Isn’t the streamer just this kind of bastard?]
==
If he’s on your team, he’s a cure for low blood pressure.
But that’s true for the opponents too.
So he’s more dependable than anyone, and that’s why you want to team up with him, that bastard.
==
- That was the ultimate syllogism
└ lol lol lol it’s not a syllogism
That post went up just a week ago when Seo Jun said he was looking for teammates.
That’s right.
The chance to become a teammate with Seo Jun is rare.
Getting carried is a sure thing.
Victory is a sure thing.
Then, wouldn’t it be okay to be scolded by their streamer?
Since he doesn’t even properly do viewer participation, this might be the one and only chance for them to get scolded(?) by the streamer up close.
Of course, the competition was brutal, and that legendary vote has now begun.
* * *
- First, is there anyone who just applied even though they have nothing going for them?
- Me
- Me
- Me
- Hit recommend lol lol lol
- It’s because of you guys the streamer suffers, you bastards lol lol lol lol lol lol
Seo Jun read the chat and chuckled.
“That’s right, everyone. I clearly said only the unemployed should apply. Does it make any sense that this many applied?”
Truly, a damn lot came in.
Even though he’d said to apply only if you considered yourself a veteran viewer.
“Ha, should I do a full investigation?”
- ???
- Well... no matter how many, most of them probably are actually unemployed lol lol lol
- lol lol lol lol viewers are viewers for a reason lol lol lol
Surely not all would be unemployed, but there might be quite a few.
“Ah, is that so?”
Seo Jun didn’t filter out the insincere on his own.
The MCN helped. They say manpower is always available.
That’s why they hire employees to assist streamers, and streamers join to receive help.
What Seo Jun got help with was a statistical table of the applying viewers’ engagement metrics on his stream.
From watch time to login count, comment count, subscription period, etc.
Since Seo Jun announced in advance that he’d check those, people who were confident probably came forward.
And the number of such people was 30,000.
Hmm.
‘They must have worked hard.’
Anyway.
“Well, looking at the metrics, those who aren’t unemployed get filtered out really naturally. You viewers are quite impressive.”
Seo Jun gave a thumbs up.
Perhaps Seo Jun himself was the one who underestimated the viewers.
- lol lol lol lol lol lol
- Streamer, you think there aren’t salary workers in there?
- That’s creepy too, right?
I agree.
“If a salary worker showed metrics like this... Even if they’re playing Last 24/7, I might actually pick them. Wouldn’t they log in even while at work?”
It’s possible.
Showing metrics like this already means they don’t work even when they go to work, so they’re probably logging in quite skillfully.
Of course, since he often streamed after working hours, it might not be the case, but office workers still can’t beat the real deals.
“Then, from now on, I’ll start selecting and checking.”
Seo Jun opened the file with the sorted metrics.
The viewers began constantly asking him what the criteria were.
“It’s my choice, didn’t I say so?”
- Yep, it’s the streamer’s choice.
- Once the streamer decides, what can you do about it?
With this many people, you can’t give everyone a fair chance.
You can’t just give the chance to anyone.
This is important content.
So usually, you receive application videos.
Or post them on a cafe.
‘It’s convenient to first filter by cafe level or something.’
Their activity roughly gives a sense of who they are.
Feeling the need to create a cafe, Seo Jun announced.
“First of all, the person who will be my teammate is... .”
Unlike other teams, Seo Jun’s team will consist of 8 people.
Seo Jun and Baek Doyul are already in, so only 6 more need to be chosen.
Baek Doyul left full authority to Seo Jun.
“We decided to pick one of our managers. But unfortunately Daebangeo-nim and Baekmatanhwanja-nim said they have to work.”
That was unexpected.
“So let’s give a round of applause to welcome the chosen manager!”
- Is it Joam?
- lol lol lol lol lol lol Joam’s gonna be on the broadcast now
- Meanwhile Joam forced to come out as unemployed lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
- Wow! Clap clap clap!
The first teammate was none other than Joseon’s Assassin, Joam.
Seo Jun had just finished a call with him.
“He says he’s practicing Last diligently. Travel’s richest person, Joseon’s Assassin-nim, is now as famous as any typical streamer.”
- He’s also an OG viewer
- For real, total OG
- Wasn’t he a first-broadcast viewer????
- That’s right
Unexpectedly, Joam is quiet.
Curious why, Seo Jun checked the access log and found that Joam wasn’t connected to the broadcast.
So he stealthily checked Joam’s account through the capsule app and saw that Joam was in the middle of practicing Last.
“Then now, out of the six, I’ll pick the second team member. I didn’t ask in advance this time, but since they applied, I’ll assume their schedule works and go quickly.”
Seo Jun sorted the opened file by comment count.
A new ID appeared at the top, and Seo Jun moved the screen to check the number of comments.
“Here’s the person. Out of everyone who applied, the one who has typed the most chats in my room so far!”
The total number of chats typed so far was.
[112,347]
Astonishing.
“Wow... .”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
It’s only natural.
The second place has about 40,000.
But this person?
- I know that ID lol lol lol when you watch the broadcast, their name keeps catching your eye in the chat box lol lol lol lol lol
- I had a sense of familiarity built up too, damn lol lol lol lol lol
- Of course, they don’t keep appearing so often for nothing
- lol lol 100k lol lol lol
- They were chatting just a bit ago but went quiet the moment the streamer mentioned comments lol lol
- Is this a public day of shaming and execution?
- Second place, now’s your chance! Quickly type 70k comments and overtake!
“Yes, I feel like I keep seeing you too. Please come forward. Ipdatkogemhaja-nim.”
- How is your nickname ‘Shut Up and Game’ when you’ve typed 110k chats lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Right.
“If you don’t accept my personal message soon, you can’t participate. It’d be a shame if you couldn’t join after accomplishing such a feat.”
[Ipdatkogemhaja: Hello]
“Yes, hello. You’re really unemployed, right? If you’re lying, I’ll consider it as broadcast obstruction and permanently ban you. Then you won’t be able to continue that feat.”
[Ipdatkogemhaja: Yes ㅠㅠㅠ I’m really unemployed ㅠㅠㅠ]
- He keeps using ‘feat’ to pressure lol lol lol
- What do you mean, how could he not be unemployed lol lol lol
“Understood. Ipdatkogemhaja-nim, I’ll contact you again after the broadcast. Now, let’s pick the third member. The condition is: the person who donated the most to me! Let’s welcome them.”
- Ah... lol lol lol
- Streamer, you bastard lol lol lol lol
- So harsh, so harsh
All the conditions Seo Jun mentioned were reasonable ones that wouldn’t cause complaints.
Donations, chats, watch time, etc.
It was absurd, but reactions said that anyone who went that far deserved recognition. Just as Seo Jun intended.
That was the case.
But...
- Streamer??? Why does it look like only hopeless basket cases are gathering before my eyes? lol lol lol lol
- Against special forces lol lol lol lol real internet wraiths lol lol lol lol
- Bear and Lion are grinning widely right now lol lol lol
- Special forces VS home protector - my heart is swelling
- Ah lol lol lol why does this broadcast always go well but then take such a turn lol lol lol
