14. The Jangsan Tiger Does Aegyo

Among the popular YouTube videos, there are those where the streamer, having received a huge mission, shows off their embarrassing shame while doing ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠aegyo, and those videos are popular.

It's not just enjoying the aegyo itself, but rather enjoying the streamer's feelings of shame or embarrassment.

It's completely unrelated to me...

I don't think about how a commoner like me would end up in that situation after seeing the sight of a traitor being tortured to death.

That's right... it has to be that way.

But why?!

"Why did the zero suddenly increase by one more than before?!"

- Gather energy stones!

- Everyone! Lend me your strength!!

- We should have turned off the energy stone mission function.

- Calling for support from the gallery. Wait.

Mission? Turn off the energy stone mission?

I hurriedly searched through the broadcast settings.

"What? I definitely turned off the donation mission, why isn't it gone?! Why did 50,000 won get added?!!"

At that moment, the mission amount started increasing at an alarming speed.

200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000... eventually reaching 600,000.

"What the hell are you guys doing? Really trying to make me do that? This is the first broadcast of the day?!"

"Uh......"

By now, I don't know if the viewers are crazy or if I'm hallucinating. Really don't know.

"Am I really supposed to do this? 600,000 won is a lot of money..."

"Mission 1,000,000 won (Voice mimicry (aegyo) )"

"Huh? It wasn't 600,000 just now?"

Not only the donation amount but also the number of viewers was abnormally increasing.

I was confused whether these were really people or just numbers playing around.

The gallery... I've heard of it a lot.

The external image isn't great, but for people living in the shadows, it's a place you have to visit like a parasite of corrupt officials.

I had connected to it before.

Words that are either written or wrapped in such a way that I can't tell.

Words at a level that makes me doubt if the same Korean characters are even correct.

The reason I pressed back five minutes after connecting to the gallery.

They're staring at me from there...!

"100,000 won is good, but... you have to earn money when you can..."

There are over 50 million won in my account. 100,000 won should be pocket money.

If it's a human who is arrogant and acts like they own the world depending on the situation, sure.

But the money I earned after dealing with the perverts for a month is only 100,000 won.

I can earn that in one go...!

However, in a corner of my heart, the pride of the Mountain Lord was raising a ruckus, saying it can never be just aegyo.

'Pride, let's compromise appropriately.'

'Compromise?! There's no compromise with an international traitor! Mission money or whatever, turn off the broadcast right now!'

'No, it's 100,000 won. You know that too. It's money you barely get after enduring the perverts! Didn't your pride hurt back then?'

'That's that, and this is this. Back then there was no money, but now there is money!'

'We should move too, right? We have to leave this house in a year. To buy another house, we need several billion, and we're thinking of borrowing from Baekho hyung?'

'Uuuum......'

'If it's not possible, let's do this... (whispering, whispering)'

'If it's that kind of method, I get it. Screw it, I'll do it once!'

"Is it because you're a new viewer? The broadcast sound is off?"

"It's internal conflict"

"Raise the money!"

"If it can't be solved with money, think if there's not enough money."

"5 billion berry! I'll buy with 5 billion berries!"

"Cheonryongin lol"

"I get it. You want me to do it that way? I'll do it!"

I steeled my resolve and accepted the mission.

No more escape.

It's a last stand.

"Hup! Ah, a....! Aaa aaaa!"

Before the voice mimicry, I cleared my throat once.

"Why is your voice so deep?"

"It's too deep?"

"It's a man."

"Is the net cam controversy exploding on the first day of the broadcast?"

"Net cam (doing aegyo)"

If you fail the aegyo script, you have to start over from the beginning.

That's why you succeed in one take!

"Oppa aang oppa na oppa jjoahang~~ oppa do na joaang?? na do oppa ga joaang (abbreviated)"

"What the hell did I hear?"

"My ears are burning"

"???????"

"!?"

"Ah mada!"

"With that appearance and that voice and that script... the dissonance is insane, what the hell?"

"I should have just taken the mission money and run."

Ignoring the viewers' pain, I pressed the mission success button.

Anyway, I did the voice mimicry and read the designated script, so there shouldn't be any viewers with complaints.

What did I do that made the viewers suffer so much?

I just made my voice a bit deeper and read the aegyo script.

For example, with Cheonryongin's voice...

The last stand is a desperate move with the resolve to die together.

I just did that thought process towards the viewers, that ghostly idea of taking the opponent with me even if I die.

"Kuaaaaaak!!! What the hell is this disgusting thing?!"

"If I had applied for a 1-hour net cam thing, I would have died."

"Is this ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the devil's talent...?"

"Burn it! Hang this devil on a cross and burn it!"

"It's a mess....."

The chat window was continuously rising.

Was I admiring my own genius talent? Hahaha!

The Mountain Lord's pride in my heart was smiling happily.

"I struggled doing aegyo. I'll bring water."

"Aegyo? Isn't that a tactical weapon?"

"You can use it with a large speaker."

"lol"

"Comrade, the southern Korean girls are sending something more disgusting than vomit balloons!"

"!?"

"Did I see it wrong?"

"I thought I was mistaken."

"Why is that?"

"Ghost...!"

"Is it like a poltergeist phenomenon?"

"Real"

"I brought water. Today's broadcast is basically turned on for fun, so I'm starting to slack off. What? Why is the chat window like this?"

"Ghost appeared"

"Something was moving behind me earlier and things were falling!"

"Is it fake?"

"I should sleep next to mom today."

"Ghost appeared? Where do ghosts come from in this world?"

I don't have the right to say anything, since I'm the one who makes the miscellaneous spirits do household chores, but anyway, I have to pretend ghosts don't exist.

"That ghost is behind you, sir!"

Thud.

The miscellaneous spirit sweeping the floor's dust bumped into the desk and the trash can fell over.

"What the hell"

"Explain the fake."

"Fake? Did that fire bird come here?"

After analyzing the incomprehensible chat reactions, I realized the time was 3 AM.

Midnight.

The time when humans are most likely to encounter the negative things.

"I'm slacking off now. I'm getting tired!"

Shit! Really shit! I didn't think of this! Am I really a rookie?! This can't be caught, right?

If it's caught by humans, well, it can be.

I can pass it off as camera error, or blame it on vibration.

However, if it's caught by the Netherworld Bureau, it's really, literally shit.

Moreover, since the viewers are already treating it as a mental phenomenon, if investigators from the bureau come...

They'll find out that I'm making the miscellaneous spirits do household chores.

That's blatantly illegal.

Last time, when threatening the miscellaneous spirit, I only had to explain that I had to eat mugwort and garlic, but even that was enough to torment them.

"Eating only mugwort and garlic for 100 days is something I must avoid at all costs."

Even though I already have several prior offenses.

1. Stealing someone else's jesa meal.

2. Threatening a grim reaper passing through Jangsan.

3. Attacking a ghost that came from Japan.

The last one, I had no choice, but with three prior offenses already, I don't know what additional punishment will be added.

At that moment, my phone rang.

The number that called was a number where 4 and 6 were randomly arranged.

"The Netherworld Bureau guys are really good at this. You can't catch the miscellaneous spirits that enter someone else's house!"

Should I ignore this?

No. It's not like I can give up. When it comes to this, frontal breakthrough is the answer!

Before I could say anything, the call was immediately cut off.

It was the characteristic of the Netherworld Bureau's calls: talking only about their business and hanging up.

"This is really shit...!"
