Chapter Title: Let's Do It Right Now
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"...So, how exactly can you help me out?"
The moment Mungki finished speaking, EV jumped right in.
"Well, you know, just some light support? But I'll make sure you can at least act like a proper human being again."
"Mentor... you haven't forgotten about me."
"Mungki Sir forgot all about me, found some other girl, and lived happily ever after, but I didn't forget."
She immediately struck a broadcasting pose.
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Right?
- Yeah
- You bastard Mungki!!
- How dare you dump EV?
- Time for punishment
- Called her Mentor and then ditched her for First Lady with another girl!!!
- Can't forgive that lol
- Die die die die die
"...I knew you couldn't forget me. This face isn't one you forget easily."
- Wow
- Oh
- Fair
- She's the type who never lets this stuff slide
- No wonder they call it Tetomung
- EV, don't lose ㅠㅠ
Mungki matched her perfectly, his tone unchanging and smooth as ever.
Jaegang Ducheon.
A man stripped bare after a wipeout, his face his only asset, versus a woman who'd built her foundation brick by brick from the ground up.
A breathless showdown was brewing.
"But you know who's the one who needs help right now, right, Mungki Sir?"
EV snapped him back to cold reality.
"Gasp... Truth is, I've never forgotten you, deep down in my heart. That's why we ran into each other like this, don't you think?"
Mungki clocked reality in an instant.
"So how'd you end up broke on day one of the server?"
"Oh, that's super simple to explain..."
At EV's question, Mungki summed up his five-hour life story.
- lmao
- So basically you just kept smashing at it
- Fearless, absolutely fearless
- Almost got it though, legendary
- Feels like failing at Mark lol
- Just fund him once more?
- But Mungki's actually good at games?
Reading the chat flow, EV had a flash of inspiration.
"Mungki Sir, how about I handle the base-building, and you focus on hunting?"
"Huh? So you're saying I should be the bus driver?"
"Yep. I can't just build base forever anyway. I'll have to join raids eventually, but I'm no good at this stuff..."
The Vacation Server was basically exploration + healing.
Meaning you couldn't heal all day every day.
Eventually, you'd need to dive into exploration, raids, and such.
And the key there was finding party members.
Sure, it'd be ideal if the pros teamed up,
but bonds form, flows happen naturally,
or as Master Jirobo once said, any five humans together means one trash for sure.
Holes were inevitable.
And in EV's eyes, she was that hole.
She was a female all-rounder gamer streamer, sure, but bosses like Dark Souls? Total scrub.
She needed a solid attacker.
"Heh... so you're saying you'll be my Yumi right now?"
"...Mungki Sir, you play bot lane in LoL?"
"Ah, I used to prefer mid... but I heard ADC gets all the popularity if you're good..."
"Who said that?"
"The internet."
- lmaoooooooo
- Stop with the internet already lol
- Face says normie but mouth says otherwise lol
- Proposing Yumi right as they team up? Spot on lol
- If it was anonymous it'd be "you're my Hyeji right?"
"...Mungki Sir, please live up to your face value. No more internet..."
"EV Lady, as a broadcaster, you should browse the internet. Watch some Shorts for three hours straight."
"...."
EV felt a dizzy spell at Mungki's words, slowly dry-washing her face.
"So, what's it gonna be? Team up?"
"Sure, sounds good to me. But parties max out at five, right?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm... if we play this right, I could build my harem in Mark."
"You don't say that out loud, do you? Right in front of your new party member...?"
"Personally, I'm thinking warrior party, then exile one. Love me some exile arcs..."
"...."
The nonstop dizzying remarks had her seriously questioning if teaming up was smart.
Of course, the doubt was fleeting.
To EV, Mungki was her benefactor.
She wanted to support him right up to the edge.
"Oh, speaking of harems, it pisses me off when they shove a lesbian into the harem spot in some trashy light novel just to pad runtime. Lesbian girl shows up and cockblocks everything, dragging the story out... Then when things heat up, she barges in like 'these two are mine!' and only at the end goes 'fine, I approve'... Who the hell is she to approve anyone's relationship? What's her point even? Total garbage character."
"...."
Even putting up with the mild vertigo from such rants.
EV wanted to keep supporting from Mungki's side.
And in this moment, Mungki thought.
"Guess I should properly launch this crowdfunding?"
"Huh?"
He had a new plan.
++++++
The second EV finished talking, it hit him like bam!
'Not just EV Lady—plenty of others probably struggle with exploration too, right?'
Exploration—raids—everyone might have those headaches.
Sure, as broadcasters, they had to devour every bit of Mark Server content.
But fun's subjective, skills vary, tastes differ.
Heck, some might not even main exploration on Vacation Server.
- So you think of crowdfunding? You're insane?
- Vacation Server PV mentions bosses that spark challenge lust [sounds like bosses are brutally hard? - Some force you into water deaths too - @@@@@@@@@ Witch Blair out now download now @@@@@@ /Banned viewer. - Dtaranta† Bless peeps going crazy lol - Blair's that no-stamina no-damage Ambessa right? /Banned viewer. - Dtaranta† All off-game chat banned - Hex lol "You know, I just remembered—got a megaphone from a donation box. Should I advertise boss crowdfunding... no, proxy... no, bus... no, helper service with it?" - You say that next to EV? - You who values communication, always the best - Intelligence top-tier too Just a mental note, but it slipped right out. Eh, no biggie. "EV Lady, what do you think of my business idea?" "That my support's your startup capital? Makes me think all sorts of things." "I've already mastered the first raid boss patterns. Just follow me." - Campaigning on others' dime lol - You're getting bailed out, not donated to - At least no more hostess bar gigs - Going legit business now - Borrow seed money from hostess bar, blow as CEO, can't kick old habits, pitches business person-to-person - Straight-up con artist My head already had the full plan locked in. This was as good as done. "EV Lady, mind if I use the server megaphone quick?" "Sure." 【 Mungki here. Big chance for anyone struggling with boss raids. Whisper me for boss raid service! Mungki will join your party and carry hard! Tough stuff? Leave it to Mungki! Tough stuff? Leave it to Mungki! 】 - Why'd it cut off? - Character limit? - Doing this on purpose? To humiliate us? - Why does he always trigger secondhand embarrassment? - But seriously, anyone gonna bite? "Once a day invites, people invite back... Server's over 30 people already, bound to be strugglers." Short chat done. "EV Lady, time for some basic donations—no, participation fees... no, pure goodwill help! Thanks a ton!" "Mungki Sir, if not for that face, even I might not hold back." "But you will, 'cause of this face." "...Leave a broadcaster selfie too, back camera on grid... you know." "Yep!" Back camera, grid-aligned. Snap. Selfie centered on my face. Posted privately to EV Lady's broadcaster board quick. Gear transfusion complete. "Iron sword! Iron shield! Iron helm! Done! Hahaha, none shall surpass Mungki now!" - Ugh so embarrassing every time - Crystal clear: streamer-viewer is our limit - Never friends ㅇㅇ - If you're wasting that face, gimme! "EV Lady, let's head out." "Huh? Thought you'd recruit more after crowdfunding?" EV Lady puzzled, but I brushed it off. "Nah, just a joke. Who'd actually whisper for that." "...." "Better to show newbies exist and get some results early." Promo effect minimal anyway—I geared up for boss try with EV Lady right away. That instant. Jjining] Mungki Sir, daughter's spot open I assume?
Real whisper incoming.
+++++++
Jjining was a Garden cam girl turned all-rounder.
Already showed talent as a general gamer back in GTA Yorang Garden days.
But.
"...Whoa, Mark can be this hard?"
- Mark Souls lite version incoming
- Parrying says it all
- Spiders zombies skeletons vs this Mark lol
- Healing my ass, exploration turns to hell
- Gotta party up though hmm
- Exploration's raid party content anyway
Mark wasn't a pushover like she'd thought.
Tycoon stuff like farming or fishing?
Easy healing anyone could do.
But exploration? Difficulty spike.
Like telling a toddler to circus.
Jjining got hooked on exploration, pondering how, when.
"Hm?"
- ?
- ?
Mungki's server notice popped and vanished.
- Huh what
- Mungki here too?
- How tho
- Blind date companion ticket ㅇㅇ
- Ah
- Hmm
- Lol
- Daddy-daughter meta time?
Viewers wouldn't miss it, nor would.
"Yep, can't pass this up."
Jjining.
Started as cam girl, so viewers hated her with male streamers.
Except Mungki, sole exception.
'Too unreal-looking? Actually... so handsome it's safe?'
Plus zero ulterior motives.
Fakers pretending otherwise? Instant spot.
Mungki? Zero vibes like that—hurtful how he didn't even see her as a woman.
Pure broadcast acquaintance energy.
Viewers seemed fine too.
He never initiated skinship anyway.
'Since I started it and they're cool, I'm good.'
Jjining whispered Mungki ASAP.
Pre-exploration, met in village quick.
"Mungki Sir!"
"Jjining Lady, hello."
"Fancy meeting here!"
"Haha, great to see you. Whisper means you brought participation fee, right? Something worth sponsoring..."
"...You ask that right off the bat? EV Lady's right there?"
"Ah, depends on what you offer if party happens or not..."
- Broke already?
- ??? : Prove you're party material
- Weak links exiled
- Nah this is pre-filtering lol
"I got pets! Two rare ones! Mountable!"
"Knew Jjining Lady was joining our party."
- lmaoooooooo
- lmaooooooooo
- Yes daughter proving you're mine
- Daughter knows her materialistic dad too well lol
Three-person party formed.
EV and Jjining, base-builders, support Mungki.
Mungki takes wing, downs boss impossible early.
【 First Steps Cave Boss: Starting Boar first cleared! Clearers: Mungki, EV, Jjining 】
Boss down.
Ops figured day 2 evening maybe.

Raw physicality bulldozed it.
Boss loot by contribution—Mungki scores.
"O... dual swords, berserker vibe? Beast's Breath!!!"
Gear upgrade moment.
Bosses don't always drop exclusives.
Insane odds pierced first try.
- Luck's bullshit
- Open 50k box for you later Mungki wait ㅠㅠ
- Post-war 50k donation incoming
Luck train rolling.
"500k donation! Thank you so much!"
Big fish arrive, mega support lands.
From that, 50k special box exclusive.
[Congrats! Drew Special Invite!]
Invite pulled.
"Huh?"
Insane streak, that instant.
How'd they know Mungki drew Special Invite?
> Mungki Sir, no plans for Special Invite? Sell?
> Mungki Sir hi, Special Invite trade possible?
Whisper storm from must-haves.
"Just drew Special Invite and top broadcasters cling to me."
- What??
- Gibberish otaku
- ChitoseUltraLoveDiseaseSir 1k donation thanks.
[ Mungki you see stuff like this ]
"This is good for mental health."
Mungki politely declines all whispers.
"EV Lady, if you need Special Invite, say so. Jjining Lady too—one only, but party shares these."
"Really okay?"
"Yeah, you two yielded most boss items to me. Gotta return."
Solidified his base.
'Take care of inner circle first.'
+++++
Clearing boss? Good.
Momentum to second boss tries? Good.
But.
"When the hell."
Is.
"Hidden Job at?"
Job change to chill, right?
- Stream 13hrs deep no sleep lol
- Getting tired
- Doesn't sleep?
- Stamina monster
Regretting no-chill declaration day one.
Zero hints on Hidden Job.
Even soloed boss post EV/Jjining logoff—no signals.
"Ah damn what... conditions?"
Kept exploring, base-building amid.
- Dtaranta† Library? Must be there for reason
"Huh, yeah?"
Dtaranta tip—straight to library.
Two hours scanning books, clicking, grinding.
[ To become Knight need a pair ]

'Need a pair?'
