Chapter 63: Finding the Beginner

A few days after the real-life collab with Baekro.

I stared at the small card in my hand.

A hand-sized ID card with my photo attached to the side.

“Came out well.”

[Sakamiya Ren]

After the foreigner registration card was issued.

I could finally put my plans into action.

‘First, I got a studio apartment in Incheon.’

Well, Busan is nice to stay in too.

But since I was from Incheon in my past life.

I couldn’t help but feel more attached to that area than other regions.

And this house is what I contracted through a real estate agent.

There’s a community service center nearby, it’s moderately cozy.

And the price was surprisingly reasonable.

Of course, since the house itself is fully furnished.

I’m in a situation where I need to save some money.

‘Of course, there’s still a lot left to do.’

I recalled the checklist I made in my head.

Let’s see, I got my registration card and found a studio apartment, so what’s left is getting a smartphone and an MCN, right?

“—First, let’s finish setting up.”

There was a lot to do, and not much time.

But I decided to start the stream first.

‘I feel too bad not to.’

I’m not like someone out there with a completely shameless conscience.

And, Seohyun.

I wanted to try out what Baekro told me too.

Since it’s a pretty high-spec machine, it required delicate work.

The moment even one part of this breaks, huh?

Am I really going to cry tears of blood?

Zip-

I immediately opened the suitcase and took out the bubble wrap I had put inside, just in case it got damaged from impact.

I placed the monitor on a desk that looked like it could hold at least two computers and connected it.

And all that’s left is to organize the remaining cables and set up the broadcasting equipment.

-Cheongha, do you want to die?

-Captain, you were really alive.

-Thought my heart stopped.

-The ice age is over, everyone thaw out.

[Viewers: 448]

Perhaps taking a break without any notice had indeed taken a toll.

A slight decrease in the viewer count caught my eye.

“Ah ah, hello?”

I cautiously removed the starting screen and greeted the viewers.

-Ex

-plain

-Ex

-plain

-No, why are you revealing you came to Korea on someone else’s stream?

-Seriously lol

The viewers’ reactions came back immediately.

Despite the relatively reduced number of viewers, the speed at which the chat scrolled down wasn’t significantly different.

Hmm, this really makes me feel sorry.

“Hmm, I think most of you saw it on Baekro-nim’s stream, but I’ll explain anyway.”

For the fans who only watch my stream, I opened a notepad and roughly summarized the situation.

[#]

-Couldn’t stream that day due to a traffic accident.

-Took a week off to recover.

-Couldn’t post a notice because I was out of it.

-Came to Korea.

-But couldn’t stream due to foreigner registration card issues.

-Felt a bit sorry for the no-show without notice, so since I met Baekro, I went on her stream to give an update.

-Oh my, such circumstances…

-Okay, I’ll let it slide.

-Are you feeling better now?

-But then, did you come to Korea right after recovering?

-Then we have to acknowledge it.

-How did you survive?;;;

-Well, it’s not like she got shot, so she could survive.

The viewers started to somewhat accept the explanation on the notepad.

The reactions that followed were within my expected range.

-So what’s the content today?

-You said you’re pretty, not doing a cam stream?

-Come to think of it, Captain was supposed to do a half-cam.

-What happened to that?

-Baekro said) What should be out is out, and what should be in is in.

-Unreasonable physique.

-What, show us quickly.

“Ah, a half-cam seems a bit difficult right now.”

The camera and everything are ready, but I don’t really have any content for it.

What I prepared back then already said bye-bye to the streets along with the stalker.

“Still, I’ve prepared something just as good.”

-Ooh?

-Something big coming?

-What did you prepare?

-Full cam instead of half-cam?

-Let’s really go back to basics now, Cheongha.

What full cam…

Anyway, fueled by the viewers’ anticipation, I launched the game I had prepared in advance.

Why, haven’t you all been telling me to go back to basics?

So, similar to that game overflowing with our channel’s roots.

But I prepared a game with better graphics.

Simultaneously, the screen darkened, and text appeared.

[the island survive]

-??? Huh?

-What game is this now?

-I’m so anxious now that Cheongha’s suddenly become shameless…

-Not watching Cheongha.

Soon, an island emerged from the fog.

As soon as they saw the island, the viewers could tell the identity of the game she brought.

-???

-No, what is this?

-Eh?

-No, this is so random;;;

-Is this channel normally like this?

-It’s our channel’s roots~

-Still, it’s a dream, right?

-Have a drink.

-Told her to find her roots and she brought a dinosaur game, this is hilarious.

“Why, didn’t you all tell me to go back to basics?”

Huh?

Didn’t everyone miss this kind of thing?

So I brought you back to the dinosaurs, what’s the problem?

As I continued speaking shamelessly.

-Wow, so damn shameless lol

-You’re not the streamer.

-Who are you?

-Felt it slightly before, but now she’s just openly teasing lol

-Where did our cool and collected Cheongha princess with the slightly stiff way of speaking go…

-What happened in the accident…

-Did your soul get swapped in another world?

-But I think I like this better?

“Yes, well, the third person, please get a temporary ban, and direct your inquiries to Baekro-nim’s stream.”

Princess, what princess.

That’s our kids.

Looking at my appearance or atmosphere, wouldn’t I be closer to a queen position than a princess?

Anyway, after giving a 5-minute temporary ban to the viewer who mentioned ‘princess’, I pressed the game play button.

Then, numerous game servers appeared.

[China—]

[—China]

.

.

“Well, most of the ones at the top are Chinese servers.”

Seeing that all of them have at least 100 concurrent players, China really must have a large population.

-You really shouldn’t go there lol

-Ugh, China here too…

-Whatever the game, Chinese servers are full of hackers.

-??? : No, the three-horned pig flashed east and west and killed Dooly?

-Free helicopter~!

“Ah, really?”

Chinese servers are said to have many hackers, so pass.

No.

Why are these guys even using hacks in a dinosaur survival game?

Indeed, the continent.

Since the land is vast, there must be many eccentric people.

“Ah, there’s an American server here.”

[—ABC]

After scrolling down for quite a while, I finally managed to find a global server.

[Select]

[Carnivore / Herbivore]

A selection window appeared as soon as I connected to the server.

Hmm, but is there even a need to think about this?

“Definitely have to go with Tyranno.”

-Ah lol, dinosaurs mean Tyranno.

-It’s the roots.

-Take care of our three-horned pig…

-These cowardly herbivores.

-Isn’t Rex the standard rule for dinosaur games?

Honestly, isn’t this the epitome of dinosaurs, known by everyone, young and old, regardless of interest?

Since its first discovery until now, there isn’t a single person who doesn’t know its name; it’s this planet’s true superstar.

Hmm, this much is enough for all celebrities to use as a role model.

Once the dinosaur to play was chosen, it was customization time.

I arranged the basic colors mainly with black and brown, suitable for hiding in the forest, and then started playing.

“Today is just a taste, so let’s just go with this.”

My personal color isn’t even available anyway.

And if I only picked pretty colors, I’d probably stand out too much.

It’s no coincidence that white tigers or white lions are rarely seen in the wild.

In a world where everything is green, if you alone wander around in white, you’re just clueless.

Then, a beach came into view.

“Oh, this feels different from what I imagined.”

I thought a scaled-down version of the adult would appear.

But a dinosaur with long legs and long arms came out.

These arms look about the same length as human arms?

-??? Tyranno looked like that as a baby?

-No, the transformation is too drastic.

-That friend will become a monster with an average body weight of 8 tons in a few hours!

-This game follows historical accuracy well.

-And then its arms don’t grow lol

Hmm, so this creature with long legs and a sleek appearance will later become a behemoth with the bulk of two elephants?

Wow, that’s one heck of a drastic transformation.

How on earth did the Earth’s author design the dinosaur era settings?

“Well, shall we give it a go?”

Honestly, appearance doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not slow.

That way I can hunt and run away, right?

“But how long will the growth time take?”

Is it because the adult form is too big?

Its appearance, which looked frail and skinny at first glance, caught my eye.

It doesn’t look like it just hatched from an egg.

I quietly turned my head towards the chat window.

-Dunno?

-Still, it’s a Tyranno, so won’t it take a while?

-16 years from juvenile to adult.

-We’re talking about the game, you human, not real dinosaurs lol

-A dinosaur expert has arrived.

The chat window isn’t much help this time either.

Well, it’s the king of dinosaurs, Tyranno, so.

If I can just get it to sub-adult stage, I should be able to manage somehow, I thought.

“First, I’ll look for a water source.”

Since it’s a survival game, it was best to stay near water as much as possible.

Just as I need to drink water, other dinosaurs also come to drink water.

This really feels like the wild, so it’s nice.

「Grrrrrr…..」

It was the moment I was searching for the lake’s location using the scent tracking function.

[Jumin A donated 100,000 Won]

=Congratulations on your return, Cheongha! I’ve been waiting.

“Ah~ Thank you…?”

I paused for a moment at the amount displayed on the screen.

This person, didn’t he say he was a current high school senior?

He was someone who had usually donated 10,000 won, or 5,000 won at most.

Is it okay to spend up to 100,000 won like this?

“….Um, are you perhaps going through a tough time lately?”

Cheongha asked with a cautious expression.

Why, isn’t there a saying like that?

When someone is thinking of suicide, they might suddenly start giving away their belongings.

I had seen it a lot during life ethics education in my past life, so I was worried if that might be the case.

And it seemed other viewers felt the same way.

-In times like this, don’t people usually ask for a refund later?

-Is it really okay to send that much?

-He’s a high school senior.

-Looking at it this way, our Captain is so pure…

-Even after being tainted by Baekro, she’s still Kim Cheongha.

ㄴ[You have been blocked]

-Banning for mentioning another streamer amidst all this is legendary.

At people’s reactions, Jumin’s reply came back.

=Ah, it’s nothing strange.

=My older sister gave me some allowance this time, so around 100,000 won is fine.

“…..Really?”

Then it’s not really my problem to deal with.

I was a little worried if he was lying, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

More importantly, his sister gave him allowance.

And enough for him to say around 100,000 won is fine; how much does she earn?

Is there a big age difference?

=Ah, for reference, my sister is three years older.

Perhaps because many people had the same question as me, his TMI (Too Much Information) came back before I could ask further.

If he’s a high school senior and she’s three years older… is she twenty-one?

Wow, younger than me.

“Still, if you’re going through a tough time, tell me.”

“I’ll comfort you.”

“Your sister must be just starting her career too, so treat her well.”

I don’t know how she can earn that much at that age, but let’s just move on.

Well, maybe she’s a doctor or a celebrity or something.

More importantly, raising the Tyranno to adulthood.

‘Is it possible….?’

I don’t know, I was planning to raise it continuously anyway.

There’s nothing to lose, right?

‘Come on, surely it won’t take more than 4 hours to grow fully?’

—That’s what I thought 2 hours ago.

[Growth Rate: 0.7 / 0.8]

“This is crazy…”

This creature was still a sub-adult.
