Chapter 30 : Clarification broadcasting_

After being kidnapped to another world and turned into a woman.

It took a long time to adjust to that fact.

But, was it because I had spent so much time?

Or was it because I changed my mindset?

Now, I don’t care about such things.

I’m just me! Gender doesn’t matter!

So, things like smoothly coaxing and manipulating a greenhorn pro gamer.

There was nothing, absolutely nothing, to hesitate about.

What’s wrong with it? Isn’t the one who falls for it the fool?

I stared at Baek Ji-hyuk, whose eyes had become strangely dull, then turned my head to look at Representative Cha.

Representative Cha, who received my gaze, clapped his hands lightly.

“Now, Player Baek.”

“Y-yes?”

“As the Chairman just said.

We want to get rid of that… Soviet-made AI controversy attached to the Chairman.

As you know, such a controversy makes it difficult for the Chairman to broadcast.”

“Ah… that, that would be true.”

Baek Ji-hyuk nodded.

Of course, he didn’t look very convinced.

‘Why is someone with such skills just streaming on the internet?’ It was a look full of such sentiments.

Instead of answering that question, Representative Cha started explaining slowly with a relaxed expression.

“So, to shake off this issue, it must be in the form of verifying that the Chairman is not an AI, under the name of APK No Surrender.”

“What? Put our name on the line?

That’s a bit…”

Baek Ji-hyuk’s eyes wavered, not knowing it would be this way.

Then, Representative Cha’s eyes narrowed.

“Well, it might be uncomfortable.

I know.

But as you know, we covered up APK’s… to be precise, the serious mistake that Player Baek made, to some extent?

I would like you to consider that fact a little.”

Only then did he remember what he had done, and Baek Ji-hyuk’s face turned slightly red.

I lightly approached Baek Ji-hyuk and nudged his side with my elbow.

“Come on, let’s take responsibility like a man.

Huh?”

-Grind.

Then, a strange sound came from somewhere.

What is it?

While I was looking around to find where the sound came from, Miley suddenly strode over and lightly wedged herself between Baek Ji-hyuk and me.

“Player Baek Ji-hyuk.”

Miley, subtly grabbing Baek Ji-hyuk’s shoulder, brought her face close to his and smiled.

“I don’t believe that you, the franchise star of APK, would commit such a rude act to Master and leave without even apologizing properly.”

“Ugh!”

Baek Ji-hyuk flinched.

Is he hurt somewhere?

But Miley, as if she didn’t care, brought her face even closer.

Her gaze narrowed.

“So, please fulfill the obligations you must bear.”

Miley, who is a tall woman, a little over 180cm, looking down at Baek Ji-hyuk, who is slightly smaller than the average male, created a very strange feeling.

…Is this that eight-foot-tall ghost or something?

“O-okay.

So, this hand…”

“Good.”

Miley only released Baek Ji-hyuk’s shoulder after receiving a proper confirmation.

Just in case, I glanced and saw that the shoulder part of Baek Ji-hyuk’s clothes was slightly wrinkled.

Miley, this kid!

How can you threaten someone with force?

“The machine can use what we provide, so let’s go do the explanation broadcast quickly.

I have a lot to do today.”

As if suggesting going to lunch, a girl casually muttered and walked towards the virtual machine.

…No, was it the chairman?

Baek Ji-hyuk, still calming his trembling heart, replayed the situation he was in with the calm and mechanical brain of a Soul Frame pro gamer.

‘So pretty and really a blonde beauty in reality so beautiful cute I wonder how old she is even if a girl wears suit pants…’

…Well, that’s not helpful.

It seems that there are more signals coming from the heart than from the brain.

No, is this coming from the spinal cord?

-Smack!

Lightly slapping both cheeks, Baek Ji-hyuk, with a red, swollen face, organized his thoughts again with his cool-headed brain.

‘…For now, the situation hasn’t changed.’

Seong-won is a beautiful girl like a celebrity?

She has a blonde-haired, blue-eyed butler and is a chairman who manipulates a company representative with her fingers?

Rather than such a web novel-like setting existing, isn’t it more realistic that the company representative hired a girl named Seong-won as an actress to deceive him?

‘If I’m not careful, I’ll be ruined too.’

What if he acted foolishly here, and helped certify an AI as a human?

The APK team would be committing treason by helping to release a Soviet-made AI in Korea!

Baek Ji-hyuk glanced around and pressed 111 on his smartphone keypad.

Because he learned that reporting spies is done to the National Intelligence Service.

‘Let’s look carefully, Ji-hyuk.

I must see if the machine is included… and I must double-check the nickname and ID…’

With that determination, Baek Ji-hyuk stood in front of the virtual machine next to the girl.

A top-of-the-line, high-end model virtual machine.

You can’t even hear the cover opening.

“Wow…”

The inside is also completely dazzling.

I don’t think this is artificial leather?

Could it be real leather?

How much money do you have to use leather stripped from dead animals in this day and age?

He was afraid of getting dirt on it, so he dusted off his socks and was about to carefully enter, when he saw the girl next to him wearing slippers and jumping right in.

He was slightly shocked by that sight, but Baek Ji-hyuk steadfastly dusted off his socks and entered.

Then the lid came down, and the world changed.

Baek Ji-hyuk looked around and was slightly surprised.

“Uh, um.”

A pure white space faced him.

This is what you see when you first buy a virtual machine and haven’t done any settings.

If you’ve ever accessed the machine and touched something, a trace will definitely remain, so this means…

‘…For now, should I install Soul Frame first.’

At that moment, an alarm rang from the side.

It was a device friend request.

“Ah, yes.”

Baek Ji-hyuk muttered absentmindedly and adjusted his hand to accept the friend request.

Then, a door suddenly appeared in the air, and it burst open as someone entered.

A familiar yellow bear head.

The bear head, which came in with a thud, gave two similar but slightly different thumbs-up bear emoticons and shrugged its shoulders.

At the same time, a chat message appeared.

[Sno.1 I will be live streaming on Pachichik.]

[Have you subscribed, liked, and set the notification?]

“…”

Baek Ji-hyuk’s body, unable to grasp the situation momentarily, stiffened.

Soon, something like a curse was about to come out of his mouth.

The bear head shook its head and snapped its fingers.

Then, it grabbed its head and pulled it off with a pop.

Then.

Like a scene from a movie, black hair fluttered, and the face of the girl he had seen earlier, Seong-won, was revealed.

Seong-won smiled with a slightly mischievous face.

“Hi.”

“…Uh, um.

Why the mask?

No, the doll costume…?”

“Player Baek seemed a bit skeptical of me?”

So I played a little prank.

Seong-won grinned and tucked the doll costume under her arm.

It felt like a slightly delinquent pretty girl wearing a motorcycle helmet and giving a playful smile.

Only then did Baek Ji-hyuk nod.

‘…I want two daughters.

What would be good names?’

Baek Ji-hyuk finally gave up and started daydreaming.

***

[Sno.1 is live!]

After confirming that the broadcast start notification message worked properly, I turned to the side.

I see Baek Ji-hyuk, who seems a bit hesitant.

[The broadcast has started.

But why are you so nervous?]

When I typed the chat, Baek Ji-hyuk scratched the back of his head.

It’s a little funny to see him scratching the back of his head in Soul Frame.

A 3.5-meter giant robot scratching the back of its head…

“Ah, that.

I don’t know why I’m nervous.

Haha.”

[Don’t be nervous.

I’ll turn on chat sharing for now?]

“Ah, yes.”

As soon as he answered, the chats from the viewers who came in with a time difference started to scroll up.

『The streamer is here!』

『Commie hi』

『Can’t you kick out those commie parrots?』

『Seong-ha~』

『Seong-ha Seong-ha~』

『Managers, please work harder』

『Yeah, the manager is also an AI~』

『Ah oh』

『But who’s behind?』

The chat room quickly turned into a mess.

I typed a chat to get people’s attention.

[Today we have a guest.]

『Gue?st』

『Oh, is a guest finally coming?』

『Did you make a new AI?』

『This AI is speaking Soul Frame to match the concept lol』

『? Isn’t this No Surrender?』

『It really is?』

[Yes.

You have good eyes to get the answer right away.

APK’s pro gamer, No Surrender Baek Ji-hyuk.]

“Hello.

Viewers of Sno.1’s broadcast.

I’m No Surrender from APK.”

At first, he seemed nervous, but soon No Surrender regained his composure and slowly started talking.

He contacted me because he felt responsible for this issue, and he said that the ‘Seong-won AI theory’ is absolutely not true.

“I saw Seong-won’s face myself.

I also checked with the metaverse room visit function to see if it was the same as the real face.

The AI theory is absolutely not true.”

『Did he get paid or somethingㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is he denying it so much?』

『It’s more suspicious because of this lol』

『Strong denial is strong affirmation』

『If you’re worried, report them as spies』

『Yeah, I’m going to report』

『Idiot』

Of course, no matter how much Baek Ji-hyuk is a pro player, he couldn’t calm down this nation of fire-twirlers with just a few words.

Neither I nor Representative Cha thought it would be calmed down this easily.

That’s why.

“This part, I. APK No Surrender, can guarantee it with my honor.”

First, we sprinkle water once with the honor of a franchise player of a pro gaming team sponsored by Apple Inc.

『ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ』

『The signboard player is betting his honorㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ』

『It’s practically betting his team’s honorㅋㅋㅋㅋ』

『Crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ』

『Hey, this isn’t just you being screwed, APK is also screwed, you crazy bastard』

『Oh』

Then, a contact came from Representative Cha’s side.

[‘Representative Cha’: It seems that he was checking the broadcast.

I just received a call from the APK front.

We will handle the response, Chairman.]

[‘To Representative Cha’: Yes.]

Anyway, after sprinkling water once, what we had to do was planned.

First, change the hero from Minder to something else.

‘I’ve always wanted to try this guy.’

And, behind Baek Ji-hyuk, who is explaining hard…

-Clang!

I press the ranked game button.

“And… uh?”

Baek Ji-hyuk, surprised by the sound of the queue, turned his head.

『ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋShe’s queuing again』

『Is the streamer crazy??????』

『I don’t care about explanations, I have to play the game lol』

『But this time it’s not Minder?』

『License?』
