5. My Creation (1)
Now then, let's take some time for an interim check.
It's a bit awkward for me to say it myself, but I think I showed enough moves to easily receive an A+ grade.
The great success of 「Star Wars 5」 following 「Star Wars 4」.
The box office success of Earth-made snacks led by cup noodles.
In addition to that, from unpaid slaves... no, to the rise in awareness due to the recruitment post for ‘voluntary volunteers’ who love my broadcast so much.
Although I jumped into this industry possessing cheat keys derived from modern knowledge and civilization, even considering that, it was enough to receive a passing grade.
However, the rise in awareness due to memes is originally like Dr. Pepper left unattended with the lid open.
Isn't it a very temporary and limited-time interest itself?
Therefore, originally, I should have rowed when the water came in, or screened 「Star Wars 6」 to attract more viewers.
Regrettably, there was something I absolutely had to do, so I had no choice but to take a break from broadcasting for today.
If you ask what that task is, that is.
“Senior, the examination is all done. You can come out now.”
“Okay, thanks.”
It was none other than the day to receive a regular checkup for my broken body.
Actually, originally I didn't like this time very much.
Because I was diagnosed as incurable, I felt that this time receiving regular checkups itself was a waste of time.
Also, it was incredibly uncomfortable that my Junior, who volunteered to take charge of my examination, always looked at me with an expression like she was about to cry.
However.
“...It really makes no sense, Senior. This... can only be a miracle literally.”
The Junior, who always made an expression as if she would cry any moment towards me, was currently making an extremely astonished expression.
“The dantian that was completely crushed has recovered partly... and the shattered mana circuits also regained some functions. This is really something that makes no sense!”
“Okay, I understand well what you are saying so don't scream. My ears hurt.”
“...Then do I look like I wouldn't scream right now?”
I said so meaning let's please have a quiet conversation like civilized people, but the Junior raised her voice towards me even more excitedly than before.
“I told you time and time again, the injury Senior suffered was in a state where treatment was absolutely impossible. Not only modern medicine, but even I, who possess the strongest healing power among Hunters, couldn't heal it.”
“But Senior's condition has clearly improved compared to a month ago. No, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a state as if time has reversed! Really, these days, including the dungeon problem, things that cannot be explained by modern science happen often.”
“...Dungeon?”
“Ah, Senior did you perhaps not know? It was reported largely on the news a while ago... Did you come back after being stuck somewhere just watching movies?”
The Junior shrugged her shoulders and opened her mouth.
“Recently, a report came up that dimensional rifts have become smaller than before. Well, although it only decreased by 5% at most, isn't it proof that someday these tiresome Gates or Towers might disappear from Earth?”
Needless to say, that was naturally something I did.
Just before coming to receive the regular checkup, I dusted off my remaining mana and purchased one option from the shop.
Let's not forget.
The fact that the reason I am doing well in ‘Trans-Dimensional Streaming’ currently is not because I am great, but because I spread Earth's culture as it is.
If I gained benefits using Earth's culture, isn't it human nature that I should also return benefits to Earth to some extent?
“Ah, by the way Senior. I have one question for you.”
“Question? What is it?”
“Why don't you turn on the broadcast these days Senior?”
“...What?”
The moment I heard those words, I unintentionally looked at her with a surprised expression.
No, wasn't I the only Earthling on the ‘Trans-Dimensional Streaming’ site?
But how does she know the fact that I am broadcasting?
But the next moment I realized the fact that I was making a big misunderstanding.
“Don't play innocent. Senior, you haven't turned on the broadcast continuously since a month ago. I checked if you switched to Mutube just in case but it wasn't that either....”
“.....”
I wondered what she was talking about, was it the story of when I was broadcasting on a Korean internet broadcasting platform.
‘No wait, but back then my viewer count was merely 3, how does she know that fact?’
I sighed putting aside the question suddenly rising in my head for a moment, and opened my mouth.
“...I am still broadcasting well. These days, I'm dying of busyness broadcasting for aliens from other dimensions... other species... no, foreigners. A while ago, the number of real-time viewers even exceeded a thousand.”
“Don't lie, Big Bro. Why would a thousand foreigners watch a broadcast of Big Bro who isn't even a big corporation live. When you were actually a bottom-feeder among bottom-feeders on Korean platforms....”
“.....”
Was she actually a personality who often watches internet broadcasts?
Looking only at her appearance, she looks like she would listen to classical music while drinking a glass of wine, but why do professional terms related to internet broadcasting pop out of her mouth like this?
“I'm telling you it's real. A while ago, I even binge-watched the 「Star Wars」 series together with foreigners. Thanks to that, how much sponsorship I received from them.”
“...Ah, so it was like that.”
At my remark containing 100% pure truth, the Junior made a somewhat sad expression and carefully patted my head.
“Yeah yeah, Big Bro is right. Actually Big Bro wasn't a bottom-feeder but a big corporation, and foreigners probably cheered anew at a movie produced 40 years ago. They probably showed a reaction like running out of breath at that twist part too. It's okay, even if others don't, I can understand Big Bro fully....”
“.....”
Going crazy, seriously.
Why do I feel like we can't communicate even though we are conversing in the same Korean language?
“...Anyway Ha-yeon. I have one thing I want to ask you.”
“Don't change the subject, Big Bro. Just because you evade my question like that, reality doesn't change.”
I pretended not to hear the Junior's words and opened my mouth steadfastly.
“I told you I'm broadcasting targeting foreigners recently. But those friends are actually friends who don't know much about Korean culture.”
“...So?”
“A while ago I watched a movie together with those friends but... following that, I'm worrying about what content to present. I want to show diverse cultures as much as possible rather than just milking one content continuously.”
Just like I didn't push 「Star Wars」 as a one-trick pony in ‘Trans-Dimensional Streaming’, but introduced Earth's food including cup noodles together.
At my words, the Junior made an expression as if agonizing over something, and soon opened her mouth carefully.
“Then... how about introducing games this time?”
“...Games?”
“Yes. I only watch internet broadcasts and don't play games directly so I don't know well, but I saw a Mutube video recently that Korean games are doing quite well abroad. Well, I think there's no way foreigners leisurely enough to watch Big Bro's deep-sea broadcast would know nothing about Korean games though....”
‘That's it.’
For a moment, realization brushed past my head.
‘Why couldn't I think of that until now?’
Most of the users using ‘Trans-Dimensional Streaming’ are in a state of thirst for culture and entertainment to the extent of cheering while watching 「Star Wars」.
And omitting the genre called games among entertainment created by Earth is truly nonsense!
Even Earthlings are addicted to the peripheral fun games provide and struggling with addiction symptoms, so if people from other dimensions encounter games, just what will happen?
However, if there is one problem, it's what to choose as the very first game to present to people from other dimensions....
Just what game is there that even a person encountering games for the first time in their life can play fun, anyone of any age or gender can enjoy, likes and dislikes aren't extremely divided, and yet boasts tremendous addictiveness?
After agonizing for a long time, I could think of one game satisfying all these conditions.
The game boasting the most sales in human history.
A game boasting a degree of freedom enough to realize all plays users themselves imagine in a world made of blocks.
That game where it's not an exaggeration to say one can create everything existing using blocks reminiscent of Lego!
「My Creation」.
From now on, I intended to drop this game on other dimensions.
