Chapter 7: I’ll Take That Energy!

Yang Minsu had just been discharged from the military and returned to university.

His only real hobby was watching League of Legends-related broadcasts at night.

As League of Legends was the most popular game in Korea, there were many streamers on Chichi-jig, but among them, Minsu’s recent favorite was Gangnani.

Gangnani.
A streamer in Diamond tier who one-tricked Irelia, one of the more difficult champions to master. On top of that, she was a woman (important).

With her unladylike, no-holds-barred way of speaking and a very free chat atmosphere, Gangnani’s broadcast was so captivating that even Minsu, who usually never chatted, found himself typing every time.

Today, as always, Minsu was settled in, watching Gangnani’s live broadcast.

But his reaction was somewhat strange.

[What do you think-yo? Isn’t it so pretty-yo? Isn’t your heart being brewed right now-yo?]

“Wow… no way.”

Gangnani’s mirror selfie, revealed for the first time under the pretext of a map-hiding overlay.

Minsu found himself letting out an exclamation of admiration without realizing it.

This was just drop-dead gorgeous.
Although only about half her face was revealed… you know how it is, right? The saying that a truly beautiful woman can be guessed from just her silhouette.

‘…She’s worth farming simps for.’

Gangnani’s declaration of farming simps yesterday had been truly out of the blue.

At that time, Minsu’s reaction had been something like, ‘She’s at it again with her bullsh*t.’
It seemed he wasn’t the only one who thought so, as most of the viewers had the same reaction.

But after seeing her face revealed and watching her broadcast, she looked completely different.

Whenever Gangnani joked around, his usual reaction would have been, ‘That’s f*cking hilarious, you idiot lolol.’ But now, it was more like, ‘Heh… w-what is she saying,’ with a smile naturally forming on his face.

At a glance, both reactions might involve laughing while watching the stream, but the latter was… somehow, somehow different.

‘Was I the type to like female streamers?’

Today’s broadcast was dangerous for Minsu.
He had never spent a single penny on donations while watching broadcasts, but today alone, he had already donated to Gangnani 15 times with thousand-won punches. It was simply because he liked her reacting to his donations.

Dangerous.
Had he really been brewed as she said?

Even as he thought this, he looked forward to her future broadcasts.
Even more so since she said she was buying a cam.

That’s right.

He was really looking forward to the future….

[I’ll be taking a break for a few days.]

Minsu’s expression, which had been grinning until just a moment ago, hardened.

Just before ending the stream, she mentioned Simp Variation 3, and he had wondered what kind of clown act she would show this time, but she had suddenly declared a break.

What was scarier was that it was a break without a set date.
In other words, an indefinite hiatus.

‘W-what the?’

The chat was filled with question marks, as if many viewers shared his thoughts.

Minsu couldn’t hold back his own chat and was about to put his hands on the keyboard, but it was already too late.

Gangnani had ended the broadcast just like that.

“…Ah.”

Minsu’s world went dark for a moment.

“Aaaargh…! Heehee.”

After ending the stream, I immediately stretched as part of my usual routine.
And a smile naturally spread across my face.

I was in a good mood from earning a lot of money today, but the viewers’ reactions when I said I was taking a break were just too delicious.

The viewers spamming, ‘Is it a lie?’, or those begging me not to go.

What, what?
Have you all become bodies that can’t live without me now…? Heheh.

I am going to take a break.
I need time to prepare for future broadcasts, and I also need a little time to get used to a woman’s body. For example, things like my menstrual cycle… hmm.

I don’t know anything about this, so I’ll have to look it up on the internet later.

But I don’t plan to take a long break.
At most, about 5 days?
The reason I’m taking a break in the first place is because of the cam.

In other words, I plan to return as a proper female streamer when I turn on the stream next time.

I received a lot of donations for the cam, so I should set it up quickly.

I immediately went online shopping.
I was originally thinking of something under 500,000 won, but since I received the large donation of 200,000 won, I decided to spend a bit more.

After searching for a long time, the cam I finally decided to buy was a 1 million won one.

[Purchase Button]

“……”

My hand trembles as I try to press the button.
In my life, this is the most expensive thing after my phone and computer.

Thinking about it again, it’s ridiculous.

Ugh! Why does a f*cking camera cost 1 million won!?
It can’t even be used to play League of Legends, it just films me!

Maybe I should lower the price and reconsider… click.

[Purchase complete.]

I just bought it.
With one click, 1 million won disappeared from my bank account.

‘Right, let’s just think of it as an investment.’

I received a generous amount of cam support funds, so it’s only right that I spend this much.

In addition to the cam, I also bought a broadcast-use light that can be placed on the desk.
I looked it up and apparently, lighting is just as important as the cam.

Anyway, the estimated delivery date is about 2 to 3 days. In that case, I might be able to start streaming sooner than the 5 days I had planned.

Now all that’s left is to wait and get used to my body.

Somehow, my body still feels a bit awkward.
Even today, I was startled when I saw my naked body while showering.

Wearing underwear is also awkward.

Especially the bra.
Just looking at it, it seemed uncomfortable to wear, so I hadn’t been wearing one, but then I saw an internet post saying that if you’re not careful, your breasts can start to sag.

‘Then I guess I have to wear it.’

Body maintenance… I should do it, right?

This is a body I got through sheer luck.
My usual exercise was just doing 100 push-ups at home every day, but from now on, I plan to diligently do cardio as well.

To do that, I first need to create a proper life pattern.

My current life pattern is the life of a top-tier streamer: sleeping at 5 AM after the stream ends and waking up at 3-4 PM.

If I keep this up, after eating and washing up, it’ll soon be time to stream.
In short, there’s no time to manage my body.

From now on, I should go to sleep early and wake up early.

It’s 1 AM now.
I set an alarm on my phone and lay down in bed.

I was already patterned to sleep at 5 AM, so I wasn’t sleepy at all, but I closed my eyes and tried my best to fall asleep.

However.

‘Just fall asleep, damn it!’

After 30 minutes, not only was I not sleepy, but I was wide awake.
I guess changing a pattern isn’t an easy task.

In times like this, just closing my eyes won’t do the trick.

I grabbed my phone from beside me and went on NubeTube.

I was planning to listen to some ASMR to make me sleepy, but a video with a novel title caught my eye.

[A Magic Frequency that Helps You Sleep Well]

I had heard of ASMR, but a frequency was a novel concept, so I immediately went in and played it.

Woong.
When I listened to it through the speaker without earphones yet, it just sounded like some kind of electromagnetic wave repeating.

‘Does this really make you sleep?’

When I was slightly skeptical, I noticed there were a lot of comments, so I opened them up to check.

[Comments]
[My insomnia was cured with this video.]
[When I came to my senses, I realized I had passed out while listening to it ㅜㅠㅠ]
[I realized magic is real after watching this video, I highly recommend it!]

Every single comment was nothing but praise.

‘Is this for real?’

I immediately put on my earphones and closed my eyes again.

Woong.

The frequency sound can be heard along with a faint background music.

Oh… it definitely feels like my mood is stabilizing.

At this rate, I might really pass out like in the comments….

“…As if.”

30 minutes passed.
My mood improved and my mind became peaceful, but I still wasn’t sleepy at all.

F*ck, this is a scam.

I was annoyed and was about to give it a dislike, but then I saw some intriguing titles in the related videos.

[A Financial Luck Frequency that Brings in Money Just by Listening]
[A Lucky Frequency that Makes Your Ex-lover Come Back]
[A Frequency that Gives You a Lover You Never Had]

“Puhaha… what is this?”

I burst out laughing.
Just looking at the titles makes me laugh. Is this pure entertainment?

First, I entered the most eye-catching video, ‘A Financial Luck Frequency that Brings in Money Just by Listening.’

When I actually went in and played the sound, the ‘woong’ sound was no different from the sleep frequency I had just been listening to.

I was more curious about the comments.

[Comments]
[I really can’t believe it ㅠㅠㅠ After listening to this frequency, I won first place in the lottery! Everyone, receive this energy!]
[I’m so jealousㅠ Receiving the energy! (praying hands emoji)]
[Congratulations! Receiving the energy (praying hands emoji)]
[I hope a miracle happens for me too… Receiving the energy (praying hands emoji)]

It was a real spectacle.
Besides this comment, there were all sorts of others, like someone finding a 100-year-old wild ginseng while hiking, or someone finding 500,000 won on the street.

There were really all sorts of comments.

‘No, anyone can see this is a lie…?’

What was really funny was that no one in the comments was doubting it. They were all just leaving the praying hands emoji while saying, ‘Receiving the energy.’ There were no negative comments at all.

At this point, I’m the one who looks strange.

Hmm.

I cautiously left a reply to the first-place lottery winner’s comment.

[Receiving the energy (praying hands emoji)]

A situation where one could call me out for leaving a comment after just laughing at it as a lie.

“……”

You… you never know, right?
I might actually win the lottery!

Ah, anyway!

I need to sleep, this is a problem.
I’m even more awake now than before from watching the frequency videos.

That’s not good.
Let’s go back to sleep….

…
……
……….

In the end, I fell asleep at 4 AM.
