Chapter 165 End Times – Era of the Bad Guys (3)
Who is the most detestable person in the world?
It varies for everyone, but in my case, I despised people who relied solely on their parents.
Maybe it’s because I’ve never benefited from my parents in my life, but I really hated those who boasted just by relying on their parents’ names.
That guy named Tae-hoon was exactly that type.
Tae-hoon, who had been so confident until the end, changed completely the next day.
A man contacted me through the Chicken Box office.
“Hello.”
-Is this Streamer Shia?
“Yes, it is.”
-I’m Tae-hoon Lee’s father from Kangdong High School. If it’s not too much trouble, may I speak with you?
A courteous voice, entirely unexpected.
Based on Tae-hoon’s attitude, I assumed his parents would be the same, but the first impression from the voice was entirely different.
This was the very definition of a voice imbued with politeness.
Tae-hoon’s father was much more respectful and well-mannered than I had imagined.
-First, I sincerely apologize for my son’s offensive behavior.
“You don’t need to apologize.”
-No, it’s our fault for not educating him properly.
When the parent spoke like that, I had nothing to say.
I slowly got up from the sofa and responded.
“You don’t have to go that far…”
-I’ll bring my son and visit you in person.
“Pardon?”
Why should parents apologize for their child’s mistakes?
The reason Tae-hoon’s father stepped in while the perpetrator stayed silent was likely because the discussions about Tae-hoon on portal sites had not stopped.
Some viewers even revealed Tae-hoon’s father’s law firm, spreading rumors.
The child’s mistake was now threatening the parent’s livelihood.
I didn’t even participate on purpose.
But with the addition of Tae-hoon’s school violence issue, the flames spread quickly.
In the midst of all this, Tae-hoon’s father called me.
The fortunate thing was that Tae-hoon’s father was not as shameless as Tae-hoon.
-If you have time, I’d like to meet at your convenience. Although it won’t solve everything, I think the first step is to apologize to you, Shia.
“If you insist…”
School violence + trolling.
These two combined created a much stronger synergy than I had imagined.
In fact, a few good ideas crossed my mind as soon as I received Tae-hoon’s father’s call.
“Do you work on weekends?”
-Do you mean this weekend?
“Yes, this Saturday. I start broadcasting at 6 PM that day.”
-Would lunchtime be okay for you?
“Yes.”
-Thank you very much for taking the time.
Tae-hoon’s father continued to express his regret over his son.
-We had no idea Tae-hoon was a perpetrator of school violence. If this incident hadn’t happened, my wife and I would never have known.
“Do you not talk much at home?”
-My wife and I both work, so we rarely have the chance to talk with Tae-hoon.
What followed was a somewhat predictable story.
The family lacked nothing, but both parents worked, and during the brief times Tae-hoon spent with them, he acted like a good son.
Polite and commendable.
That was the only side of Tae-hoon his parents saw.
They never doubted him, and then this happened.
But he didn’t talk for long.
-I’ll meet you on Saturday and apologize sincerely.
“Understood.”
With that, the sudden call ended, and I shrugged my shoulders, placing my phone back on the sofa.
Soon after, Jin-hyuk, who had been listening to the call, asked me.
“That thoughtless high schooler from yesterday?”
“You watched the broadcast?”
“Of course, I did. It’s been a while since you played
“Worse than me?”
“In a different way. At least you don’t sabotage the game.”
Despite many viewers criticizing my personality, there weren’t any severe complaints.
At the very least, I always did my best in the game.
Even if I used rough language, I always aimed to win the game.
Jin-hyuk spread cream cheese on a slice of bread and took a bite, then looked at me.
“His father is coming in person?”
“We’ll meet just outside.”
“…You’re planning content again, aren’t you?”
“No, it’s just that I thought of something that fits perfectly.”
If Tae-hoon came and apologized directly, it would be appropriate for me to throw him a lifeline.
For example, if I brought Tae-hoon into my recent content, like the so-called
It would be perfect.
I lightly nodded and subtly asked Jin-hyuk.
“What do you think about a rehabilitation story?”
Jin-hyuk responded firmly without changing his expression.
“That might be different.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s a different case from Seong-shin. At least Seong-shin wasn’t a school violence perpetrator.”
“Right.”
“I’m against it. But it’s your decision.”
With that, Jin-hyuk finished his bread and went back to his room.
He was right.
Being a school violence perpetrator carried a significantly negative image.
No, it was more than just a negative image.
It was proof of a rotten personality.
If Tae-hoon hadn’t been a school violence perpetrator, this wouldn’t have escalated so much.
“Damn it!”
After a brief thought, I got up from the sofa.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t something I needed to worry about. The solution or apology method should come from their side, not something for me to ponder over.
If done right, I might get good content out of Saturday, but for now, my top priority was the end of the
D-2 until the season ended.
Although I had created a legendary video yesterday, I needed to produce a lot more in the remaining two days.
6.
After encountering a legendary ‘bad guy’ on the first day, the next day was no different.
The second day’s broadcast title was ‘Era of the Bad Guys’.
With a title paying homage to a classic movie from the 2010s, a series of bold contents were being poured out.
The second day was as spectacular as the end of the century.
The number of snipers increased overwhelmingly compared to the first day.
As I climbed the ranks, more users targeted me, and as the season end approached, trolls became more rampant.
Thanks to spending more time gaming than usual, I reached Platinum 3 in a day.
How many matches did I play?
I couldn’t count exactly, but I recorded only one loss.
Except for the game where two teammates deliberately trolled, I didn’t lose any other matches.
After the second day passed, the third day arrived.
After waking up at 9 AM, exercising, and starting the broadcast and games at 1 PM, it wasn’t until around 11 PM that I finally completed the long journey and achieved my goal.
[Fan of Our Villain Panty Collector: Ah ㅋㅋ You missed this]
[Sniper Account: Congrats on Diamond]
[BJ Ddingho: Can’t you just lose one game for me? Seriouslyㅜㅜ]
“Wow! That was incredibly tough.”
I paused the queue for a moment, staring at the message confirming my promotion to Diamond.
Having achieved my goal early, a flood of impressive mission rewards began to pour in.
‘NationalisticMissionMan’ has donated 1,000,000 won!
[Wowㅋㅋ Did you really achieve this solo without a duo? That’s insane.]
‘OurVillain, Is He a God?’ has donated 50,000 won!
[OurVillain, is he a god? OurVillain, is he a god? OurVillain, is he a god?]
‘DonationAccount’ has donated 100,000 won!
[Now I see why everyone keeps talking about Shiaㅋㅋ You’re insanely good at this game. I acknowledge it.]
I smiled contentedly as I watched the donations rain down.
This game,
Sustaining itself for almost 20 years, from the PC era to now, was no easy feat.
Beyond its gameplay, a game that remained popular among streamers for so long was invaluable.
Despite the complaints I received whenever I played
Although I wasn’t a professional streamer, I would play it occasionally when I had nothing else to do.
Since I reached my goal, should I end it here for today?
But then it happened.
Sung-su hyung, who had just made the ridiculous donation of 1 million won, threw in another one.
‘NationalisticMissionMan’ has donated 500,000 won!
[You still have time for one more game. Why not chat a bit and then play one last game on your main account? It would be funㅋㅋ]
The chairman’s wish is my command.
Nodding as if it were only natural, I responded to Sung-su hyung’s generous donation.
“If the chairman wishes, I’ll do it. I can even go to hell.”
-JaNachGoe ON
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋYeah, I’d also be unable to refuse if someone donated that much.
-Is it true that NationalisticMissionMan is the CEO of SD Corporation?
-ㅇㅇI saw an analysis post on Tgather.
-Wowㅋㅋ He’s a real legend… Must be super rich.
-He probably earns enough to not worry about spending freely.
After endless discussions on Tgather, the true identity of ‘NationalisticMissionMan’ was partially revealed.
Although Sung-su hyung hadn’t admitted it, the hypothesis that ‘NationalisticMissionMan’ was the CEO of SD Corporation was considered a fact.
While it wasn’t ideal for a viewer to become famous instead of the streamer, it was different with Sung-su hyung.
As long as he was okay with it, I didn’t mind.
Just as the viewers said, Sung-su hyung had supported me since the early days of my stream and provided me with numerous opportunities.
I glanced at the chat window with a smile and slowly nodded as I switched accounts.
From the account that had reached Diamond to my main account, which was in the Challenger rank.
[Account switched to
[50 minutes left until the season ends.]
[Ranked games for Master and above will be frozen after 11:30 PM. Games matched before 11:30 PM will be counted for the season, so please take note.]
The current time was 11:10 PM.
It seemed like I could fit in one more game before the season ended.
Honoring the chairman’s request, I immediately started the queue.
And a moment later.
Finally, the last queue of the season was found.
As soon as the match was found, the chat window went wild.
-Lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Legendary matchmakingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What is it?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I can’t believe it matched like thisㅋㅋㅋ
-Really, it’s like even luck is favoring the stream ㅋㅋ
The reason the viewers were making such a fuss.
After checking the IDs of my teammates, I exclaimed in awe.
“Wow, this is going to be so fun.”
