Namchaemanhan has donated 10,000 won!!
No fun
Geum Taeyang, who had decided to start broadcasting, turned on his stream again today. After all, he had nothing else to do right now.
"That jerk dares call Taeyang Lord no fun?"
"Our Taeyang Lord is super fun, total blast!!"
"Should we track 'em down and off 'em?"
Where on earth did they pick up that "super fun, total blast" line?
Geum Taeyang had that thought as he neatly ignored the enforcers' chatter.
To Geum Taeyang, who was just getting started, even low-level trolls like that were precious viewers.
He'd weed them out later, but not now. Trolls like that were still top-notch viewer number one.
Geum Taeyang, who had finally hit ten viewers, was in no position to be picky like some fat pig turning up its nose at food.
"Thank you for the precious 10,000 won donation, Namchaemanhan."
On top of that, the guy was a treasured troll who had dropped 10,000 won while giving feedback on the stream.
You had to give solid service to paying customers.
That was the ironclad rule of small business owners.
And internet broadcasting was basically a small business.
So Geum Taeyang thanked the user who had called his stream no fun but still tossed in 10,000 won.
"Kuhuhuk…!!"
"Kuhuk…!!"
"D-Demonic possession…!!"
The enforcers watching this felt like their hearts were being torn apart.
Thanking someone for a measly 10,000 won…? Geum Taeyang wasn't some cheap knockoff!!
Aeri, Kim Gyul, Aka, and even Park Hana.
None of them were short on cash. They were women who could rake in hundreds or thousands in a single day if they wanted.
And yet they were letting a man work?!
It felt like their energy meridians were clogged, the gear-like circles in their hearts spinning backward, twisting their dantians.
No matter how uneducated or poor a woman was, she should at least be able to support one man…!!
Recent studies said mindlessly spoiling men dulled their masculinity, and they needed jobs to build independence…
Who cared about that crap research? Their beloved man was bowing his head for 10,000 won…!!
"A man living off a woman? I'll earn my own keep."
But Geum Taeyang had drawn a harsh line…!!
A declaration that he wouldn't just be a house husband…!!
Did that crime syndicate even make him work?!
What kind of elite criminal group was it that IMPU couldn't even find a trace despite investigating?
Truly horrifying bastards.
'Still…'
But on the other hand, it was admirable.
Most men lived off the money their wise mother-good wives, maternal wives, and concubines brought in while supporting them.
How proud and admirable was Geum Taeyang for wanting to earn his own money…!!
"Since it's come to this… shouldn't we do our best as Taeyang Lord's bodyguards?"
"Yeah."
For a moment, it seemed like they'd fall into demonic possession.
But thanks to the semen still lingering inside them, the enforcers snapped out of it and decided to cheer Geum Taeyang on.
There were a few men who streamed, even if they were rare.
They could totally support him doing simple jobs like this to build independence.
"Phew… ten viewers again today, huh."
After ending the stream, Geum Taeyang sighed at the final viewer count.
No easy tasks in this world, huh…
Like in the clichés, once he started streaming, he needed explosive growth for it to be fun.
'Minesweeper was a bit much, though…'
In Geum Taeyang's mind, streaming meant endgame content. The webnovels he'd read and streams he'd watched usually featured that.
But hoping viewers would flock to minesweeper felt too shameless even to him.
He needed to upgrade his computer and mic ASAP.
"Taeyang Lord, your viewer count will skyrocket soon. It's just that all these foolish women don't know your charm yet."
Aeri stepped up to comfort Geum Taeyang, who looked disappointed at the numbers.
As she said, unlike other men, Geum Taeyang hadn't enabled male streaming yet.
His ID hadn't come through, so he was using Park Hana's account, which prevented male streaming.
Switch it on, and his channel would blow up for sure.
"Thanks, Big Sister."
Soft♡
Geum Taeyang grabbed Aeri's breast as thanks for the comfort.
Not groping a breast you could touch anytime was a loss.
The soft sensation filled his hand.
"Ah, aaah… Thank you! Thank you for being born…!!"
Aeri's eyes welled up like she might cry any second.
Her panties too, of course.
"Aaaah…"
"We worship you…"
Kim Gyul and Aka knelt, hands clasped over their hearts, gazing up in reverence at the sacred sight.
'This is fucking awkward…'
He'd just grabbed those massive, begging-to-be-squeezed tits, and they reacted like this… His dick was throbbing hard.
"Huh?"
But what stopped his erection was the calendar catching his eye.
A circle marked on it, with one word below.
-My Birthday-
'Birthday…!!'
This was Park Hana's house. Only one person would mark it like that.
Three weeks from now was Park Hana's birthday.
Geum Taeyang immediately eyed Park Hana's bag and accessories.
A quick search showed they were all luxury items worth at least a million won each.
He had to give her something on that level to match the Geum Taeyang name…
Money hadn't been urgent till his ID came, but now it was.
"Taeyang Lord? Where are you going all of a sudden?"
"To find a part-time gig!!"
"Part-time…?!"
Geum Taeyang headed straight for the gym that had offered him the job before.
The enforcers followed, melting into the shadows.
"Hahk… haaahk…!!"
"Kim Gyul! Snap out of it!!"
They'd sworn in the shadows to support Geum Taeyang, but seeing him actually go to work…
Kim Gyul was hyperventilating.
Ignoring the drama in the shadows, Geum Taeyang arrived at the gym and went straight to the desk.
Luckily, the owner who'd pitched the job was still there.
"Boss, is the part-time spot still open?"
"Yes! Yes! I'd make one even if it wasn't!!"
The owner nodded eagerly, grin splitting his face as Geum Taeyang approached.
"But I don't have an ID yet. Can I still work?"
"Ah, you're a foreigner, huh. No problem. Totally fine."
"And due to circumstances, could I get paid daily?"
"Sure, sure. Of course. I'll accommodate everything."
The owner just nodded to every condition.
"Let's do 40,000 won per hour."
And then a jaw-dropping offer…!
40,000 won was more than he'd made from all his streams so far!!
And per hour, no less.
"That much?"
"Yeah. You're worth it, Mari. From now on, I'm the boss, so casual speech is fine. Call me Darae Boss."
"Got it, Darae Boss."
Geum Taeyang nodded, using the alias Mari he'd made up to hide being a man before.
"Hngh…!! Your voice is just too good. So, at the desk, when members come in, just call the PT trainers, handle protein, elixirs, and monthly payments. Easy, right?"
The boss smiled at Geum Taeyang's nod.
"Oh, right! Shift's 5 PM to 10 PM, five hours. Cool?"
"Yes."
"Then head home for today. Start tomorrow…"
"It's almost 5 anyway. Can I start today?"
"Heck yeah, that's great for me…!! I'll throw in a bonus too!!"
The boss started kindly explaining everything to help him settle in.
'This bitch?'
In the process, the shadows rippled as she got too close to Geum Taeyang.
"Starting work here today?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Haaah…!! That smile feels so good…"
"Thank you. Need anything?"
"Something I need… something… Gimme one of those elixirs over there."
"That's 500,000 won."
"Here…"
As soon as Geum Taeyang took his place at the desk, women flocked over.
The rumored "male cosplay woman" from a few days ago was now at the boss's usual desk.
No wonder they swarmed.
How could anyone forget how sweet his voice was or how killer his body looked from working out nearby?
"You were a gym member before, and now you're a coworker?"
"That's right. Nice to work with you."
"Gimme one of those elixirs too."
"500,000 won."
Not just members.
Even PT trainers bought elixirs at the desk—stuff they didn't even need!!
Just to chat with Geum Taeyang once, crowds lined up to buy the cheapest ones.
'My eyes didn't lie…!'
Seeing this, the boss—who was cleaning and organizing equipment like a part-timer—grinned ear to ear.
40,000 an hour felt like a steal. He should pay more.
Ding!!
As he caught his breath after handling the rush, a woman with bodyguards entered the gym.
'A man?'
And there was a man beside her. Geum Taeyang, who hadn't seen another guy since arriving in this world, was a bit shocked.
About 150 cm tall, over 100 kg. Total pig.
Here to work out?
No time for that. Pondering wasn't good service.
Geum Taeyang plastered on his capitalist smile and bowed.
"Welcome."
The man shuffled over, supported by bodyguards, with the woman.
"Ha? Hey, what are you? Dressed like a total dude? Wanna-be idol? No wonder you're broke."
She pointed rudely at Geum Taeyang out of nowhere.
'Shitty customer's here.'
"Sorry about that."
Geum Taeyang had tons of part-time experience.
He knew snapping back or arguing just dragged things out, so he bowed and apologized.
—Kill her
—Should we kill Taeyang Lord's offender?
—Filthy bitch!!
'Chill. I'll pussy you up after work.'
The shadows boiled, but Geum Taeyang calmed the enforcers.
With capitalist mode on, he could endure a shitty customer for 40,000 an hour.
Still, running into one on day one… Maybe this job would be tougher than he thought.
