Chapter 13: Blatantly Leeching off a VTuber

Streamer Mallang was genuinely flustered.

“No, wow… everyone? This account is truly too incredible?!”

Since Mallang primarily focused on mobile games, it wasn’t as if an account with roughly ‘ten million won’ spent on it was particularly astonishing.

After all, there were rumors that the middle-aged men who enjoyed ‘Tor’, a game famous for its spending, would easily drop around four million won a month just for “dignity maintenance.”

However, Kwon Se-ah’s account was a very different story.

-Just how many stones does he have?

-Did Mallang know about this?

-Roughly calculating, isn’t this an account with at least ten million won spent on it?

-How can he have 700,000 stones?

-Wasn’t this the account that did 600 pulls earlier???

The viewers were just as flustered and bewildered by this situation.

“Everyone, everyone! I’ve also played Genshin and Seven Heavens for a long time, so I’ve spent tens of millions of won on games, you know?”

-Bragging lol

-If you add up the money spent on Genshin, you could probably buy a BMW lol

-Seriously bragging lol

“Really, I’m a crazy guy who has spent as much as I can, but this is really the first time I’ve seen an account like this! Really!”

[C4Seele-nim has donated ₩5,000]

[Lol fr, what kind of crazy person pre-spends ten million won?]

[Nim has donated ₩5,000]

[Isn’t this really Mallang’s sub-account? Didn’t he spend it as bait in preparation for the clan battle? lol]

“No, really everyone! This is really a viewer’s account, I tell you!”

[LabelleAr Lv. 31]

“Everyone! Everyone! Look! This account’s level is higher than mine, you know? How could this be my sub-account?”

-But what’s this? His level is way higher than Mallang’s?

-Is it really a viewer’s account? Strange?

-How is his world level 31 already?

[Daejinwoo-nim has donated ₩5,000]

[What is this account status, Solo Leveling? How is it 31???]

Mallang was purely at a loss for words.

“Wait a minute everyone, I think the reason this person’s world level is so high is because he kept doing paid recharges.”

-If you do that more than 8 times, 1.5 pulls disappear every time you press it, right?

-Are you crazy? lol

-Isn’t this a level-up method only a truly insane whale would do?

If Kwon Se-ah had bragged about this story in the Galactic Train Gallery, she would have been ridiculed.

But on Mallang’s broadcast, it’s different.

Kwon Se-ah’s account was currently in a situation of being ‘excavated’ in front of 5,000 people.

Even the same information was bound to be received as an interesting story.

“But is there a place to do paid recharges like this?”

Mallang, filled with doubt, examined the characters Kwon Se-ah possessed.

Kwon Se-ah had been anticipating this moment, so she had set it up so that Seele would unconditionally appear first when the character examination button was pressed.

“Wow, crazy…!”

[Seele (Quantum, Hunt) Lv. 90]

-???

-Huh? Max level???

-World level is 31, but she’s max level???

-Don’t you have to hit 45 to raise the world tier and farm Arcana?

-This is totally insane lol

[Combat Power Ranking: 1st]

“This person’s Seele… her combat power ranking is 1st, isn’t it? No, her Stigmas are all unlocked, and her Light Cone is fully superimposed…”

The strong recognize the strong.

As soon as Mallang confirmed that Seele’s skill levels were also practically maxed out, he stood up from his seat.

“Oh my…! I’m sorry! This, this isn’t just a viewer, this was a total big bro!”

[DaeMallang-nim has donated ₩5,000]

[Mallang hurry up and apologize lol]

“Big Bro…! I’m sorry! This little brother Mallang didn’t recognize you! I’m sorry! Oh my… Big Bro was just having fun, and I stupidly messed up the proxy pull… I’m sorry!”

Mallang quickly performed another deep bow of apology and made a fuss.

-Wow, but this is really a super legendary big bro account, isn’t it?

-Isn’t he an old man who came from playing Tor? How can he start spending money with ten million won so lightly? lol

-I’ve only ever seen stories of hitting max level without raising the world tier as fabricated featured posts lol

-Big Bro must be uncomfortable lol Hurry up and pull for him 

The broadcast of this day was edited and uploaded to Mallang’s channel, and it hit number 5 on the trending videos.

Kwon Si-young

[How about shopping this weekend?]

Kwon Se-ah

Sorry! I’m busy with pop-up store stuff, so it’ll be difficult!

Kwon Si-young

[Ah That?]

[Well, it’s under your name, so it would be bad if it failed, OK!]

Chief Secretary Lee Eun-byul

[The contract revision has come in as predicted in the report I sent you last time.]

[There are quite a few terms favorable to us, so please check it once.]

Kwon Se-ah

I’ll check it right away and send it over. Please continue with the work.

For the emoticons, you know it’s important to bring them in as soon as possible so we don’t fall behind the trend, right?

“I’ve organized all the messages I received~!”

Leeching off Mallang was, as expected, the best.

Screenshots of the video were plastered all over various communities, so there was no one who didn’t know my account.

“But! There’s still one more to go!”

I plan to get 1st place in the clan battle, and that’s why I became famous.

I wanted to make joining the clan created by me, Kwon Se-ah, feel like a more attractive option than powerful clan members joining an ordinary clan.

To do that, just spending a lot of money isn’t enough.

“I also need a lot of information about the game, and I need to appeal that I’m incredibly strong!”

So, I decided to leech off someone one more time.

Why leech again?

Because I don’t know how powerful my ‘fully constellated, fully superimposed’ Seele and Ha Eun-rich are.

I don’t know how much power these characters will show in the clan battle, or what value they have.

I only vaguely know that they are strong enough to destroy content by themselves.

I needed someone who could explain this accurately and promote it for me.

So, the streamer… no, the VTuber I chose was [Lilith].

“Now that the clan battle is just around the corner! I’ll be doing the Galactic Train party consultation content that I’ve been putting off like summer homework, nyan!”

Lilith was a VTuber with very impressive cat ears and a tail.

She pitifully maintained a cat-like speech pattern, meowing, which made her fun to tease, so she was quite popular.

She, like Mallang, primarily focused on Galactic Train and also did ‘party consultations’.

-Doing this right before the clan battle is too obvious lol

-Don’t put it off, hurry up and do it!

-There are only 3 clan member spots left, aren’t you doing this to fill them?

-Lower the application requirements!!! The combat power cut-off is too high!!!

“Then, I’ll introduce today’s first consultant right away, nyan!”

– Diriring! Diriring!

The time for a one-stone-two-birds, no, one-stone-three-birds situation is approaching!

I immediately answered the loudly ringing Discord call.

But this is all good, but what if I make a slip of the tongue? Unlike last time, I have to speak in front of 7,000 people this time…?!

“Ah ah, can you hear me?”

“I can hear you very well, nyan! Welcome to Lilith’s consultation office, nyan~”

-Oh 

-No I wondered why he was doing this all at once, turns out the first one was a girl

-Wow, a girl plays Galactic Train?

-Sigh, Another super boring free-to-play party is coming out

-Isn’t it obvious she’s bringing a C1 Ha Eun-rich account and whining for someone to build a party for her?

As expected, the chat window is heating up right away.

Everyone really can’t resist a girl, can they?

They probably don’t even care that the person inside is actually a man.

“LabelleAr, what worries brought you to Lilith’s consultation office? No, nyan?”

Lilith spoke and logged into my account.

Party consultation was content where the streamer would enter the consultant’s account, examine the state of their resources or characters, and then give advice on what to do next.

Some people ask why anyone would receive this, but the reason is simple.

Because it’s expensive.

This is a world where some people look at 3 or 4 reviews before buying a 10,000 won hamburger, worried it might not taste good.

In a game where one character can effectively be said to cost 200,000 to 300,000 won, it was perhaps natural to worry and want to get the most out of the characters obtained.

“The clan battle is opening soon, right? Since this is my first time playing a game like this, I want to get the best score possible, but it’s difficult to form a party.”

“If it’s that kind of worry, Lilith is an expert, nyan! I helped many people when I played Seven Heavens back in the day, nyan!”

Lilith swished her tail, clapped her hands, and then entered the character window.

“Then let’s check the characters right away… Huh.”

-???

-What? I think I’ve seen this account on Mallang’s broadcast before?

-F*cking insane whale!!!!

-Wow, asking for party advice with this?

[Seele (Quantum, Hunt) Lv. 90]

[Ha Eun-rich (Lightning, Knowledge) Lv. 90]

[Bronya (Wind, Harmony) Lv. 90]

“Wow… There are 3 max-level characters? Uh… I d-didn’t know it was this kind of account…”

[DaeLilithChanYangHae-nim has donated ₩2,000]

[Stick to the cat-girl concept!!!]

-Uh-huh!! Stick to the RP!

-He dropped the meowing thing right away again

-Isn’t this the person with the number 1 Seele combat power?

-No, what’s with the double full constellations?

-Wow, This is the first time I’ve seen an account that needs consultation because the dealers are too strong 

“Uh… L-Lilith forgot the consultation content, nyan! LabelleAr-nim, for what reason did you come for consultation, nyan?”

Now she’s suddenly calling me ‘nim’ instead of just a consultant?

Well, it’s good for me.

“Um, I looked at some clan battle strategy guides posted in the cafe, but the posts were too difficult, so I didn’t know how to form a party.”

“Lilith thinks those strategies are unnecessary for LabelleAr-nim, nyan…”

-There’s no need for strategies that involve struggling with 4-star characters

-Seems like a dedicated strategy for Big Bro is needed?

-Wow, this is truly a legendary account

[JellyPawPrint-nim has donated ₩2,000]

[Isn’t this account literally the imaginary Galactic Train Lilith always talks about?]

The broadcast was proceeding as I expected.

Lilith was flustered, facing a consultant’s account she had never seen before and would likely never see again.

But she can’t give up. The day she consults an account like this will never come again!

“Lilith first wants to know if LabelleAr-nim understands the concept of clan battles, nyan!”

“Hmm… I understand that clan battles are content where you combine up to 3 parties to defeat bosses in a relay!”

“That’s exactly it, nyan! LabelleAr-nim just needs to complete 3 very, very strong parties for this clan battle, nyan!”

Oh, she’s giving a surprisingly serious consultation, huh?

Well, if she runs away after seeing my account, she’ll be teased as a ‘total noob’ who can’t consult accounts that have spent real money.

“First, LabelleAr-nim has full constellations… Wow, what. Seele and Ha Eun-rich are both fully constellated and fully superimposed? How much money did this person spend?”

-Lilith!!! You bastard!!!!

-No matter how surprised you are, stick to the RP 

-No, but the account status is truly legendary

-At this rate, can’t he just do the work of 3 people by himself???

“Ahem, hmmhmm! LabelleAr-nim, first, for party 1, Seele… Just putting her alone is enough to clear all dungeons in this clan battle, nyan.”

[Nim has donated ₩2,000]

[ Is this even a consultation?]

-Didn’t he give up on consulting???

-No, f*ck

“For party 2, Ha Eun-rich… also, just putting him alone is enough to get a perfect score in this clan battle, nyan.”

“Ah~! I was thinking I had to put all 4 party members in.”

“Usually, if you don’t put all 4 members in, you can’t clear it or get a gold star, so the party doesn’t carry over, nyan.”

“I don’t really know, but what are gold stars and carry-overs?”

Lilith finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Gold stars are like a kind of evaluation score, nyan! LabelleAr-nim probably knows that there’s no time limit when progressing through bosses or the story usually, nyan.”

“Yes, that’s right. There isn’t anything like that, is there?”

“But clan battles are content where you compete for rankings based on scores, so there needs to be an item to evaluate, nyan! Usually, the fewer turns you use, the higher the evaluation, and there’s a grading system for this evaluation, so getting a gold star means you got a perfect score, nyan!”

“Ah~ Then what’s a carry-over?”

“Clan battles are content where bosses appear infinitely, nyan. A party that has been used once cannot be used again, nyan! But if you get a gold star, you get a chance to use that party one more time, nyan!”

So, if your combat power is incredibly high, you can get 6 chances to score when others get 3.

“Then, for party 3, what characters should I put in?”

“Honestly, Lilith thinks that for party 3 as well, just putting this one character will be enough, nyan.”

[Mei Ling (Physical, Destruction)]

[LV. 1]

-Wow This account has everything

-Mei Ling is there as if it’s a matter of course

-Crazy, I really think this is that account that spent ten million won, right?

It was a character that had somehow become 2-constellation as a byproduct of limited gacha pulls.

“Mei Ling is a character whose concept is counterattacking, nyan. Even ordinary users are recommended to use this character like a joker if they have her, nyan.”

“Then I just need to raise these 3 characters, right?”

“If you have more leeway, raising more Harmony or Abundance characters among the 4-stars can prevent any accidents that might occur, nyan!”

“Yes! I’ll definitely raise other 4-star characters too and use them in the clan battle!”

“Then~! LabelleAr-nim’s party consultation will end here, nyan!”

[ChuruChuru-nim has donated ₩2,000]

[Wow That was truly a legendary account.]

-There was no need to build a Ha Eun-rich carry party.

-No, but that person doesn’t have a clan, right?

-Wow, if you play the game with an account like that, isn’t it too easy and not fun?

– Diring!

“Alright… At this point, I think I can post a clan recruitment message soon, right?”

The chat atmosphere is good too!

And I subtly bragged about how strong my account is in front of 7,000 people, so that seems sufficient!

…But, am I perhaps cut out for broadcasting? When I first received the Discord call, I felt a little nervous, but once I started talking, it felt incredibly fun, didn’t it?

Should I try broadcasting too?

Since I’m somewhat famous already, it wouldn’t be bad to do internet broadcasting like this, would it?!

– Dding!

Lilith

-LabelleAr-nim, if you’re looking for a clan, I wanted to know what you think about joining Lilith, nyan!

Lilith should still be broadcasting, and she should still be doing consultation content…?

“Puhuhu… It seems she really didn’t want to lose me.”

Since I had planned to leech off her from the beginning, I didn’t bother replying to Lilith.

After all, in the upcoming clan battle, we will be enemies!
