Chapter Title: Yongyong's Record-Breaking Broadcast
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Subscribers nearing three million were treated like no big deal.
-Wow, Yongyong hit ten million subscribers? For real?
-First in Korea, right?
-What first? There are plenty.
-Excluding no-name foreign YouTubers targeting Korea.
-Still, plenty.
-Yeah.
Yongyong's subscribers had broken through ten million.
Among them, the video with the highest views was the one from Gangnam that day.
-Yongyong?
Not even Baek Seonhee's exposé video—just the sight of Go Yohan looking straight at Yongyong.
That short clip turned into a Shorts video.
-Wow, shit. Views just hit 100 million, they say.
-No way? For real?
It had successfully achieved the milestone of 100 million views.
The reason for its massive popularity was obvious.
-Wow, that beauty for real?
-This the only frontal shot of Go Yohan?
-Yeah.
-Go Minji too, but damn, he's lost it lol. Should've looked in the mirror. Good luck this lifetime.
Go Yohan had already gained fame even before revealing his power.
With the divine as his backing, and family ties to Go Minji, the Golden Knight, and The King.
His childhood friend, known as the Bloody Queen, was a top ranker even in America.
-So jealous. For real.
The public had always shown great interest in his life.
But his mysterious activities had rarely been exposed, and the rumors that did circulate were all about his playboy antics.
-Yohan oppa! Take me!
Just showing his proper face was enough to draw massive attention.
The comments on the video weren't just in Korean—English, Japanese, French, Russian, and languages from around the world were all mixed in.
The top comment, claiming best, was boldly in Korean.
-I'm Go Yohan's classmate, but he's a real famous otherworlder.
-Fr, lol.
-Said he even caught a dragon.
-He was originally from Earth, went to the otherworld, caught demons, and returned.
-Don't you know Yohan Empire?
-But for real classmate?
Go Yohan, reading that comment.
He flinched.
No one knew he had shuddered for a moment.
"Cheol Jungbae?"
No, that couldn't be.
He had a deep interest in Earth civilization and embraced new cultures without hesitation, but lately, he hadn't even had proper time to rest.
Besides, it wasn't something to mention so lightly.
"Kids these days... Hard to keep up."
If anyone had heard Go Yohan, they would've made a strange face. He was only 21 soon.
Anyway, not all reactions to the video were positive.
-Are you all crazy? Remember Go Yohan just killing people willy-nilly? Who cares about his face or otherworlder crap. Some jokes you make, some you don't.
-Go Yohan's influence is already terrifying. Just look at the detention incident—Russia arming nukes meant Go Yohan was important, Korea could be turned to ash.
-And the World Association trying to shun Korea.
But the key point was one.
"He's got skills."
Yongyong definitely had talent.
The ability to seize people's attention and eyes, creating pure chaos that was neither hero nor villain.
That power to produce something in-between would surely be useful later.
"Hm?"
Just then, a red light appeared on Yongyong's channel.
A signal for a live broadcast.
-Roar!
A black dragon, boasting a shortness where it might not reach its own face with its paws, roared as it appeared.
-Yohan ham! Official Wrecka channel Yohan Apocalypse, it's Yongyong! Roooar!
It was the first live broadcast since the Gangnam incident.

-Yongyong! Roooar!
Yongyong's live broadcasts had always been popular thanks to its witty talk and fanbase.
But.
-Wh-what?
Today's broadcast far exceeded what even Yongyong had anticipated.
Whoosh!
The chat window cleared in an instant.
And not just that.
Pause.
The moment the chat froze, a cipher-like flood in countless languages took over the chat.
-Wh-what?
Then again.
Whoosh!
It all vanished like vomit from the chat window.
-I-I'll block chat for now! Switching to subscribers-only!
Yongyong hurriedly changed settings in a panicked voice.
But.
Pause.
The chat just froze momentarily.
Whoosh!
Unreadable ciphers didn't just fill the screen—they overwhelmed it.
-Yongyong Wrecka donated 3,000 won. Yongyong's broadcast class is unreal...
-isdnfj donated 5,300 won.
-......
-......
Even the donation chats alone were enough to crash Yongyong's computer, worth its entire fortune.
-Wait!
In the end, Yongyong immediately nuked the live broadcast.
After dozens of minutes, the live stream restarted.
With all chat blocked and even small donations cut off, it could finally breathe.
-Insane.
Yongyong shuddered as it spoke.
The live viewer count...
-What is this? 2.7 million viewers? For real...?
Did the servers even handle this?
What was the global viewer record?
Heard it broke 2 million once before.
-Ah.
He recalled the world No. 1 streamer hitting over 5 million when they went live.
A short 10-minute broadcast celebrating level 400, right?
Not quite that, but still historic.
-Th-thanks everyone for coming... Hi, thank you... Um, spasiba? Ah... arigato?
Even self-proclaimed pro broadcaster Yongyong felt like bees buzzing in his ears.
He'd promised himself countless times to keep it casual, but his heart wouldn't stop racing.
But.
'I'm Yongyong.'
Recalling that day's encounter.
-Anyway, broadcast starting! Roar!
Yongyong shouted again.
-Today's live isn't anything special—just announcing the channel's future direction and talking about upcoming activities!
Yongyong said energetically.
-Now that I'm the official Wrecka for Yohan ham, I'll do my best to deliver Yohan ham news going forw—
That was when.
-Ivan donated 50,000,000 won.
-......?
The number was so huge it confused him.
-Ivan donated 50,000,000 won. Finally, the donations start. I'm Ivan, Russian Association Chairman. Came because it's the official channel covering Player Go Yohan.
In that dazed moment, the funny part was the message cutting off due to the limit.
-Ivan donated 50,000,000 won. Looking forward to good news.
-Insane...?
150 million won in donations in an instant.
-Ivan...?
Wasn't that the player rumored to be Russia's real power holder?
Young for a power player, but gripping all of Russia like a shadow boss.
Normally he'd mock or play along, but the amount was no joke.
-Uh...?
He checked again.
No error?
-Uh... Ivan-nim... thank you...
Realizing no error was even more shocking.
-Richard donated 300,000,000 won. For standing up for 'that person' on my behalf that day, I offer deep gratitude. Goldian...
-Richard donated 300,000,000 won. For Yongyong-nim's smooth broadcasts, I'm willing to provide all equipment—contact Goldian anytime, gratefully.
A dream?
How hard a hammer to the back of the head for this shock?
Gape.
Yongyong's mouth hung wide open.
-Roar.
The auto-set flames handled the reaction.
First time for donations like this?
And Richard...
'Goldian.'
Also the name of Goldian's chairman.
But Richard? Typo, fake, or proper spelling?
More than that, why were Ivan and Richard donating in Korean?
With amounts like that, not scams.
-Um... sh-should I... dance...?
Yongyong's conclusion after much deliberation.
-Uh.... Refunds... probably still possible... right?
He couldn't even understand his own words.
Suddenly, he wanted to open chat.
Craving the masses' shock, or to cry together.
-Greed donated 1,000,000,000 won. Watching.
That day, Yongyong was said to have broken world records multiple times.
Of course, the broadcast ended right after Greed's donation.

"What the hell?"
Lee Jaekyung said in disbelief.
"What..."
Articles about Yongyong's live broadcast were flooding the internet.
"Should I... do a broadcast too?"
Lee Jaekyung muttered with an indescribable emptiness.
"If you do a broadcast, uncle, I'll donate."
At Go Yohan's words, Lee Jaekyung nodded with an unreadable expression.
"Gonna make a channel today. Sword Ghost Lee Jaekyung's Beginner Swordsmanship Class—how's that?"
"Not bad."
Only then did Lee Jaekyung seem to snap out of it at Go Yohan's response.
"But why'd Hayeon do that?"
"Said it was impressive."
Fair enough.
That day, the apostles' mood was off.
Anything could've happened, and only a few knew Lee Jaekyung had been in Gangnam sword-in-hand.
"Should've donated myself."
"Heard they set it so donations under 50 million don't even show messages."
"......I have money too."
Go Yohan laughed.
"And why are Ivan and Richard writing in Korean like that?"
"Translation. Hayeon said it's smart no matter what—marketing worth can't be bought for that amount."
"Still, exposing connections..."
"Is that even a secret anymore? People will just think it's marketing anyway."
Jeez.
That was all Lee Jaekyung could say.
"No plans to broadcast? Could make more than Yongyong."
"Ah, that..."
Go Yohan said nonchalantly.
"Heard Hayeon plans to buy that company."
Lee Jaekyung turned away.
Talking more would just hurt his head.
