Chapter 28 Joint Broadcast: Kang Yeon-woo – Detailed Analysis (1)

-Kang-ha!

-Barely made it on time lol

-Kang-ha!

“T-ha! Yo, viewers. The broadcast is finally starting. You guys have no idea how much I’ve been looking forward to this broadcast.”

Kang Yeon-woo, looking excited, chattered away.

He meant it sincerely.

Ever since the collaboration offer was accepted and the discussions were finalized, he had been as excited as a kindergartener waiting for a picnic.

“You see the title of today’s broadcast, right? God is coming. Those of you who are quick-witted will have figured out that this is a collaboration, and who the collaboration members are going to be. Right?”

-Sword God?

-Sword—God

-Did you really bring him?

-Your recruiting skills are insane;

“Correct. Today’s collaboration members are Kratos and Victoria. I said before that I wanted to invite them to the broadcast at least once. And they readily agreed.”

Kang Yeon-woo stepped aside and gestured.

It was the agreed-upon timing.

Seung-yeon and Dohyun stepped forward.

“K-ha! Hello everyone! I’m Victoria!”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kratos.”

The viewers’ chat room exploded with insane speed at the two people’s greetings.

Most of the chats were along the lines of ‘K-ha’ or ‘Victoria-ha,’ but the speed at which they were going up showed how welcomed they were.

The number of viewers, which had been on a steady rise since the start of the broadcast, skyrocketed after they appeared.

Kang Yeon-woo laughed heartily at the pleasant reaction, even though he had expected it.

“Woah—the reaction is explosive. As expected of the two most popular people these days… or rather, ahem. The two of you. Haha.”

“Actually, only my brother is popular. I’m just riding on his coattails.”

“No way. If you look at the VGC posts, there are a lot about Victoria too, right? Even if it’s not to the extent of Kratos, Victoria was quite popular in her own right.”

-She was quite popular lol

-A monster that even a genius gave up on;

-The antithesis of Sword God lol

-‘Real’ physical ability

While Kratos became famous for his unique insane physical abilities and genius, Victoria became famous for her frustrating physical abilities and the fact that even a genius gave up on teaching her.

To the point where even seasoned spicy-flavor streamers couldn’t dare to show their faces in front of her.

And what especially elevated her name was…

“Self-harm Swordsmanship! That thing you showed off at the end was really amazing. Everyone who saw that said Victoria is a broadcasting genius. That’s great. It means you were a genius in a different sense than your brother. Is this what you call genius siblings?!”

“I think I’m a genius in a very bad sense compared to my brother…”

Seung-yeon muttered sullenly.

A broadcasting genius and a physical genius.

It was amazing how the same title of genius could give such different feelings.

Kang Yeon-woo chuckled and asked Dohyun.

“Speaking of which, let’s find out. Kratos, how did you feel when Victoria showed off her self-harm swordsmanship? I saw a clip of you being amazed.”

“At that time… um…”

Dohyun, who had been humming, continued.

“I was really just amazed. You know, like that feeling of seeing a strange creature that’s different from me.”

“Ah. So it felt like you saw something that wasn’t human. Is that it?”

“Um… I guess it’s similar…”

-lololol

-Is that really the same human lololol

-Sword God official) Victoria is not human

-Sword God’s cowardly fact attack lol

Seung-yeon, who was listening from the side, flared up and interjected.

“Not human! That’s too much! Did you really think that?”

“No, that’s just how I meant it.”

“You told me after the broadcast that it seemed like I could do it if I worked hard! You said I’d get better if I practiced a little more!”

“That’s also just how I meant it.”

-Lip service lololol

-Same words, different meanings

-Sword God official 2) Victoria shows no signs of improving

-Actually, Sword God was pissed lol

The viewers chuckled at the fun that erupted from the start.

It was a trivial conversation, but Dohyun and Seung-yeon had only ever played games and ended the broadcast, so there had never been a chance to hear such conversations.

That was a point that viewers who liked to see them chat after the broadcast found disappointing, but that was now being resolved.

Kang Yeon-woo, who quickly caught on to the viewers’ feelings, asked.

“Come to think of it, Victoria and Kratos haven’t been talking much before or after games these days. Is there a special reason?”

“It’s probably because my brother has little broadcasting experience. It’s fun now thanks to Yeon-woo, but it would have been boring otherwise, right?”

Dohyun, who was listening from the side, nodded as if it were true.

It was very difficult for Dohyun, who didn’t know any of the drips or memes used in broadcasting, to capture the fun of broadcasting through conversation.

It felt like the viewers were laughing when he said something, but he didn’t know why they were laughing.

In fact, he had once asked back because he didn’t understand a drip that came in as a donation.

“So I was going to do a chat broadcast after the number of broadcasts increased a bit more. Later.”

“That’s a shame. Just looking at the sibling chemistry, it seems like it would have been very fun just to talk.”

Kang Yeon-woo clicked his tongue.

The viewers seemed to have the same opinion and were clamoring in the chat room.

But it’s ridiculous for other people to step in and tell them what to do when they say that themselves.

There’s no reason to push them just because it seems like it’ll work out.

“Then shall we take a short Q&A time before the analysis? Everyone, post all the questions you’ve really been curious about about Kratos. I’ll only take three!”

At first glance, it seemed like Kang Yeon-woo was proceeding arbitrarily, but this was also a matter that had been discussed in advance.

The reason why he limited the target to Dohyun was because Seung-yeon had already exposed herself through many broadcasts and was well known as a result.

What the viewers were curious about was the newly appeared Dohyun.

-What virtual reality Access Device are you using?

-Are you going to play other games?

-When will you start personal broadcasts?

In addition to these, countless questions poured in, from who his first love was to what color his underwear was today.

Kang Yeon-woo, who was watching the viewers’ chat room with a hawk’s eye, picked out three appropriate questions.

“Then the first question! Do you have any plans to play other games besides Samurai Hearts?”

“I do, but. Um. I don’t really know yet. I’ve never played other games.”

“I see. Well, Kratos is just starting his first game, so that makes sense. How about we do Psychic Wars together later?”

“I don’t know Psychic Wars, so I can’t promise.”

“Oh no. I was going to hitch a ride, but that’s a shame.”

-He’s trying to dock lololol

-Where’s your conscience

-He hitches a ride with Khan too

-Professional passenger lololol

Kang Yeon-woo, who shook his head as if he was disappointed, immediately threw the second question.

“Second question! Someone asked if Kratos has any plans to do a separate personal broadcast other than collaborating with Victoria.”

“Personal broadcast, huh. I don’t really know. I originally came on the broadcast because of the allowance…”

“That’s right. It’s famous. The story of him cutting down Sword Saint to get a 100,000 won allowance.”

That was also the content that always decorated the front when talking about Dohyun.

In any case, the answer was that he had no intention of broadcasting separately right now.

Kang Yeon-woo smoothly moved on to the third question.

In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that he had built up to this question.

“Last third question! If you had to evaluate your sister Victoria’s physical abilities in one word?”

“Um…”

“Please answer within 3 seconds! 3, 2, 1!”

“Hopeless?”

“Yes, thank you for your answer.”

“Hey, you bad guy!”

A mess unfolded with Seung-yeon fuming, Dohyun awkwardly laughing, and Kang Yeon-woo bursting into laughter.

Only after the atmosphere calmed down did Kang Yeon-woo change the subject of the conversation.

He had talked enough, so he was going to start the content in earnest.

“Then let’s start the detailed analysis content in earnest… but before that! I’m going to tell you viewers a surprising piece of news. It’s information that shocked me as soon as I heard it.”

Where would it only shock him?

It was information that made chills run down his spine.

Kang Yeon-woo smiled contentedly, thinking about the reaction the viewers would show after he said this information.

“Kratos has been playing the game without optimizing his device until now. In other words, the physical abilities he has shown so far were not Kratos’s full power~ That’s what I’m saying.”

The viewers’ chat room froze for a moment at Kang Yeon-woo’s shocking words.

Dohyun is already worthy of being called a genius with just the performance he has shown so far.

But even that wasn’t his full power yet.

Of course, the room for physical abilities to be improved through device optimization is not that great.

At most, it’s about a person with a physical ability score of 100 rising to 105.

In percentage terms, that’s 5 percent.

But where else is that?

5 percent of 100 points is 5 points, but 5 percent of 1000 points is 50 points.

No one among the viewers could guess what level the 5 percent that Dohyun, who is called the greatest genius ever, would show.

“I’ve already helped with device optimization. So now Kratos is in super-Sword God mode beyond Sword God. This is the first time it’s being revealed, so watch closely.”

-That wasn’t his full power?

-Super-Sword God what;

-Isn’t there a Super Sword God 2 or 3 lololol

-You can climb even higher from there?

While the viewers were buzzing, Kang Yeon-woo manipulated the system.

Then one side of the wall moved with a clanging sound.

What was revealed after the mechanical sound subsided was a new room, and it was densely packed with circular panels on the ceiling, floor, and walls.

A panel was hung at the entrance of the room, and the words written there were as follows.

Recognition Ability Test Room.

“After all, the first thing to do is an easy and simple recognition ability test. Kratos and Victoria probably don’t know much about it, so let me briefly explain…”

The method of the recognition ability test was simple.

When the test starts, the circular panels in the room will light up randomly.

When the participant recognizes the glowing panel, the next panel starts to glow, and when they recognize that, the next panel glows.

Of course, this is the story of stage 1, stage 2 also requires recognizing colors, and stage 3 requires identifying the colors and the pictures contained within.

How quickly you can recognize what is turned on one at a time in sequence is how this test scores.

“Getting a high score on this test means you can tell what’s going on even in sudden situations. It means you’ve figured out what’s going on in a split second.”

However, being able to figure it out well is one thing, and being able to respond is another matter.

No matter how quickly you grasp the situation, it’s meaningless if your body doesn’t follow.

“Who wants to go first?”

“I’ll go first.”

Seung-yeon, who bit her lip tightly, stepped forward.

She had originally intended to skip the test, but after listening to Kang Yeon-woo’s persuasion, she finally changed her mind and decided to do it together.

She had already given up on her body anyway.

What did it matter if she revealed that her physical abilities were at the bottom with objective indicators?

Kang Yeon-woo smiled at Seung-yeon, who was standing in front of the room.

“When you’re ready, just say start test.”

“Yes.”

Seung-yeon, who took a deep breath, muttered, “Start test.”

One of the many circular panels in the room lights up, and the moment she recognizes it, the light turns on elsewhere.

And then the next, and the next.

But as if to immediately prove her hopeless physical abilities, the speed was by no means fast.

The speed at which the next panel lit up slowed down even more when it reached stage 2, and when it reached stage 3, the speed was less than half of stage 1.

Eventually, the score that came out after the test was over.

“…16 points?”

It was 16 points.

Seung-yeon, who was making a crying face at the score that looked low at first glance, looked at Kang Yeon-woo.

Kang Yeon-woo gave her a warm and benevolent smile.

“It’s out of 100 points.”

-Legendary score lololol

-Wow… I’ve never seen below 20 points before

-The kid who got 30 points before was also on the edge of being human;

-Victoria, where are her limits…

The score that a typical gamer receives on this test is usually around 70 points.

You can see how miserable a score of 16 points is compared to that.

Seung-yeon, who had become sullen, stepped back, and this time Dohyun strode into the room.

-Sword God is launching!

-Majestic

-King Majestic

-Go! Show us the limits of humanity!

Was it because Seung-yeon had failed earlier?

Dohyun couldn’t help but feel a little relaxed.

It was a composure that came from the thought that he wouldn’t get 16 points no matter what.
