Chapter Title: Broadcast Day 2

Click—! Click—!!
The evening of Geum Taeyang's debut broadcast.
Rina, the president of Baekun Nation, stood before a gathering of reporters.
"To all our citizens. This is President Rina. The broadcast of Taeyang Lord on AsiaTV today was indeed real."
"Taeyang Lord expressed his gratitude for the donation saying his womb trembled, with no external pressure or coercion, and asked for your continued support moving forward."
"I apologize for the confusion caused to our citizens."
The broadcast had caused such a massive stir that even the president had to issue a public apology and explain the situation.
"As expected of Taeyang Lord."
"He truly lives up to the name of the world's greatest man."
Watching the broadcast, the IMPU's Ten Thousand Year Elders wore pleased smiles.
"Ahh... My husband Lord... Just a little longer."
Though one of them pursed her lips with a dazed expression.
A dark, dingy back alley.
A terrifying place beyond the reach of public authority.
It was said there was no way to know just how horrific the crimes unfolding here were—this alley represented the darkest underbelly of the nation.
-This is the child my husband Lord stored in the sperm bank for me.
-Don't get cheeky. You're just the outer wife who brings in money from outside.
-Yes! Thank you!
In such a back alley.
Ninav was watching a movie with her subordinates.
Criminals didn't exactly abstain from cultural activities.
"Ha... What a piece of trash movie. Not a shred of realism."
"Y-Yes, that's right."
The subordinates had found it quite entertaining, but they had no choice but to agree with Ninav.
In the underworld, power was everything.
Messing with Ninav's words could lead to who-knows-what fate.
"So this is... the investigation on that Geum Taeyang guy."
"Yes!!"
Lately, she had been gathering info on Geum Taeyang.
Because it pissed her off to no end. What kind of man could make Park Hana interrogate her so harshly without a scrap of evidence?
"Heh... Definitely not a normal guy. Part-time at a gym?"
Ninav was dumbfounded by the info her subordinates had brought.
A man working for himself?
Men were beings who could only starve without women—they couldn't do anything on their own.
Sure, there were men in broadcasting or entertainment, but women always assisted them nearby.
"Well, probably just poses for photos while the other wives do the work."
"No!!"
One subordinate shouted loudly at Ninav lumping Geum Taeyang in with other men.
Ninav's eyebrow twitched. A lowly grunt daring to raise his voice in rebuttal...?
"What do you mean 'no'."
"W-Well... Taeyang Lord stands at the counter himself, greeting and smiling even at women like me. Hehe... And the more expensive the elixir you buy, the longer he chats with you..."
Ninav was undeniably terrifying. But the subordinate ignored that, gushing on about Geum Taeyang without hesitation.
'What nonsense. A body sculpted by the gods and a voice from the heavens... Such clichéd drivel.'
What man wouldn't get such praise?
To women, any man looked like a god-sculpted body and sounded like a heavenly voice, no matter his looks.
Still, this subordinate had never yelled back during Ninav's usual man-bashing.
Maybe Geum Taeyang really was something special.
"And he just started broadcasting recently. Allows sexual harassment comments for a mere 100,000 won."
"Sexual harassment?"
Ninav closed her eyes briefly, recalling the countless men she'd met on blind dates.
What was the name of the most recent one...?
She couldn't even remember. That's how forgettable he was.
"Won't you pour me some water?"
"Pour it yourself. Can't you even do that?"
"What...? This is something a woman should...!!"
"I don't do that sort of thing."
"Y-You...!!"
Pouring water for a man on a blind date was basic etiquette.
But when Ninav didn't, he got angry yet did nothing—like he was unused to such treatment after a life of being pampered by women.
She remembered how he trembled, too scared of her to rage further, pouring the water himself with shaking hands.
"Wait... If he's broadcasting, he must have shown ID. Geum Taeyang's credentials are out there."
An amusing idea struck Ninav.
What face would Park Hana make if she invited the very Geum Taeyang who'd prompted that interrogation to a blind date?
Ninav was curious.
She just had to see if Geum Taeyang would tremble like the others before her.
Broadcast Day 2.
Before starting, Geum Taeyang appointed the enforcers as managers.
AsiaTV's assigned managers seemed too strict, so borrowing the enforcers' help felt better.
"Just ban excessive profanity or overly vulgar talk. Ask me first before banning. Got it?"
"Yes. Understood."
After thoroughly drilling them to avoid yesterday's fiasco, Geum Taeyang went live again.
Is this the stream where sexual harassment is allowed?
Sexy harassment!!
Big Sis could treat you reaaal good~
Was it because yesterday's broadcast had spread like wildfire?
Viewers from around the world flooded in, pushing Geum Taeyang's count past 300,000.
A mind-boggling number.
"Alright, everyone, hey there. It's Geum Taeyang. Shall we set some chat rules first?"
Like other male streamers, he casually used informal speech and dove right into rules.
"First off, those controversial sexual comments from yesterday? Minimum 100,000 won donation to start."
????
Oh yeah
This is a real man...?
Didn't you see the brigade leader stripping on morning news? lol
They raided a house with a man, guns drawn, and she got dishonorably discharged—that's lenient
Man-Lover donated 100,000 won!
Hehehe. I want to have sex with Taeyang Lord.
The moment Geum Taeyang gave permission, Man-Lover—who had reported him yesterday—sent a donation right away.
Expressing his desires like a bursting outlet.
"You want to have sex with me? You got that much money?"
Man-Lover donated 1,000,000 won!!
I-I've got tons of money!!
"Ah... You've got money, huh. But I check faces and figures too. Sorry, you're not my type."
Geum Taeyang casually dropped a brutal truth bomb on the 1-million-won donation.
lololol
What assets does a chick watching porn at this hour even have
For real lol
Wanna-Be-Eaten donated 100,000 won!
Fuck me please
Sexual donations kept flying at Geum Taeyang.
"You wanna be fucked? Donate more then."
He humored them appropriately.
"Appreciate the donations, everyone, but don't go overboard."
After cutting off the flood, he launched the game he'd planned as his main content.
A game still popular despite its peak having passed.
Legend of the Battlefield.
Excited at finally playing the game that wouldn't load on Park Hana's computer, Geum Taeyang entered his ID.
Having made it in advance, he quickly started up and hit play.
Legend of the Battlefield was a 5v5 AOS game.
He knew the basics, so he picked mid-lane right away.
Male Lord has logged into the game
As loading ended and the game began, huge text appeared on screen.
"What the..."
His level-1 character was already max level, loaded with cash for full items.
Male Lord. Fighting!
Whoa... Male Lord! Kill me please!!
Realizing he was mid, the enemy team clustered there, standing still like they awaited his strikes.
As expected of Male Lord!!
He didn't know how many men played this, but hearing the specially recorded voice for males, Geum Taeyang quit the game.
This wasn't gaming.
What fun was there in an unfair fight?
It felt like cheating with hacks.
Some might enjoy even unfair scraps against humans... but not Geum Taeyang.
Other games were the same.
RPGs, puzzles... Logging in as a male ID brought endless cheats.
With games ruined, Geum Taeyang closed them all.
"This isn't gaming...!!"
It was fun though...
Just watching a real man game is fun...
Geum Taeyang found zero fun, but viewers felt otherwise.
Just seeing a man play brought smiles...!!
Having never seen a stream where gaming was impossible, Geum Taeyang pondered what to do next.
He'd already raked in 30 million won today... but mostly from allowing sexual comments.
Even during games, clueless viewers sent off-topic harassment donations.
Far from his vision.
Realizing he'd underestimated women's pent-up lust, Geum Taeyang took drastic measures.
"Starting tomorrow, sexual comments get banned even with donations."
What...!!
Ha... Fucking idiots, he said be subtle
Kept spamming that crap even during games, no wonder he's pissed
The stream couldn't go on like this.
"I'll set specific days for permitted sexual harassment."
This wasn't some cyber hostess bar.
One allowance led to nonstop harassment, driving him mad.
"Alright, that's the stream for today."
3 hours is heart attack time for men
Whoa, 3 hours... Top 0.01% streamer?
3 hours and no panting? He'd normally be gasping... Shame
Stream tomorrow too?
"I'll think about tomorrow."
Just two streams in.
More bizarre than expected, Geum Taeyang shook his head and ended it, exhausted.
Viewers might've enjoyed, but he sure hadn't...!!
"Maybe try being an entertainer."
Geum Taeyang pulled out Chai May's business card.
Streaming rarely, focusing on performances or acting might be better.
That thought crossed his mind.
Ninav has requested a blind date with Geum Taeyang. Accept?
As he reached for Chai May, a government blind-date text arrived on Geum Taeyang's phone.
"Ah... Tomorrow's stream can be this."
Seeing it sparked great content.
