As if the nearly 3 million subscribers were nothing.
“Wow, Yongyong has 10 million subscribers, is that for real?”
“Isn’t that a first in Korea?”
“What first? There are quite a few.”
“Not those foreign-target YouTubers whose names we don’t even know.”
“Still, there are quite a few.”
“Yeah.”
Yongyong’s subscribers had surpassed 10 million.
Among them, the video with the highest views was that day’s Gangnam video.
“Yongyong?”
Not even Baek Seon-hee’s exposé video, just the scene of Go Johan looking directly at Yongyong.
The video made as a short.
“Wow, damn. The views just hit 100 million.”
“Crazy? For real?”
It successfully achieved the feat of 100 million views.
The reason it gained so much popularity was obvious.
“Wow, is that appearance for real?”
“Isn’t this the only video with a proper front shot of Go Johan?”
“Yeah.”
“Goh Min-ji is one thing, but this is really insane lol Ah, looked in the mirror. Good luck this life.”
Go Johan had been gaining fame even before revealing that power.
The background of Sanctum, having Goh Min-ji, Golden Knight, and The King as family.
And his childhood friend was known to be the Bloody Queen, who had made a name as a top ranker even in America.
“So jealous. Seriously.”
From the beginning, the public had shown much interest in his life.
But his mysterious track record had rarely been exposed, and the news that came out was only about his troublemaking.
“Johan hyung! Take me!”
Just properly showing his face alone was enough to draw plenty of attention.
Also, the video’s comments seemed to encompass all the world’s languages, not just Korean, but English, Japanese, French, Russian, and more.
Among them, the one occupying the best comment spot was proudly in Korean.
“I know because I’m Go Johan’s classmate, but Go Johan is a really famous otherworlder.”
“For real lol.”
“They say he caught a dragon too.”
“He was originally from Earth, went to another world, caught demons, and returned.”
“Don’t you know the Johan Empire?”
“Wait, really a classmate?”
Go Johan, who was reading this comment.
Flinch.
That he briefly trembled was a secret no one would ever know.
“Cheol Jung-bae?”
No, that couldn’t be.
Though he had deep interest in Earth’s civilization and no hesitation in encountering new culture, he was said to have had no time to properly rest lately.
Moreover, it wasn’t something to mention so lightly.
“These days’ kids… are hard to keep up with.”
If anyone had heard Go Johan’s words, they would have made a strange expression. His age was soon to be only 21.
In any case, not all reactions to the video were favorable.
“Are you all really insane? Go Johan, that bastard, don’t you remember him killing people indiscriminately? What’s with talking about his face, him being an otherworlder. There are jokes you can make and jokes you can’t.”
“Go Johan’s influence is already scary. Just looking at the detention incident before, Russia loading nuclear missiles means Go Johan is important but they think South Korea can be turned into a sea of fire.”
“What about the talk that the World Association is trying to ostracize South Korea?”
But what mattered was one thing.
“He has skills.”
That Yongyong definitely had skills.
The ability to firmly capture people’s attention and interest, creating chaos that was neither this nor that.
The ability to create something that was neither villain nor hero would surely be needed later.
“Hm?”
Then, a red light came on Yongyong’s channel.
It was the signal announcing a live broadcast.
“Kraaang!”
A small black dragon boasting shortness that his own hands might barely reach his face appeared, roaring.
“Johan hyung! Official wrecker channel Johan’s Revelation, it’s Yongyong! Kraaaang!”
It was the first live broadcast since the Gangnam incident.

“It’s Yongyong! Kraaaang!”
With his originally witty speaking skills and fanbase, Yongyong’s live broadcasts had been quite popular.
However.
“Uh, huh?”
Today’s broadcast far exceeded the situation Yongyong had assumed.
Whooooosh!
The chat window disappearing in an instant.
Was that all?
Pause.
The moment the chat stopped, something like encrypted text condensed in numerous languages had occupied the chat window.
“Huh?”
And then again.
Whooooooosh!
As if vomiting everything out, the chat window disappeared.
“I-I’ll block the chat for now! I’ll switch to subscriber-only chat!”
Though Yongyong frantically changed the settings.
Pause.
The chat window only paused briefly.
Whooooosh!
Not satisfied with unreadable encrypted text occupying the entire screen.
“Yongyongwrecker donated 3,000 won. Yongyong’s broadcast class is real….”
“isdnfj donated 5,300 won.”
“……”
“……”
Just the donation chat alone was enough to freeze Yongyong’s computer, which could be called his entire fortune.
“Wait!”
Eventually, Yongyong immediately shut down the live room.
After dozens of minutes passed, the live broadcast turned back on.
After blocking all chat and even small donations, he could finally breathe.
“Crazy.”
Yongyong said with a flinch.
The live broadcast viewers….
“What’s going on? 2.7 million viewers is real…?”
Can the server even handle this?
What was the worldwide viewer record?
He thought he’d heard that 2 million was broken in the past.
“Ah.”
He remembered that when the world’s rank 1 player turned on their broadcast, it exceeded 5 million.
Was it a short broadcast of about 10 minutes celebrating reaching level 400?
Though it could be said to fall short of that, it could still be called a historic moment.
“Th-thank you all for coming… hi, thank you… and what else… spasiba? Ah… um, arigato?”
Even for Yongyong, who called himself a professional broadcaster, it felt like bees were buzzing in his ears.
Though he’d vowed countless times to broadcast lightly, his racing heart wouldn’t stop.
However.
‘I am Yongyong.’
Recalling that day’s meeting.
“Anyway, starting the broadcast! Kraaang!”
Yongyong shouted again.
“Today’s live broadcast is nothing special, just to announce the channel’s direction going forward and talk about future activities!”
Yongyong said energetically.
“Since I’ve become Johan hyung’s official wrecker, I’ll do my best to convey news related to Johan hyung from now on…”
That’s when it happened.
“Ivan donated 50,000,000 won.”
“……?”
There were too many digits, he was confused.
“Ivan donated 50,000,000 won. Finally a donation appears. I am Ivan, Russian Association President. I came because I heard this officially covers news about player Go Johan.”
In that moment when everything was dazed, what was funny was that it cut off in the middle due to the donation message limit.
“Ivan donated 50,000,000 won. I look forward to good news.”
“Crazy…?”
In one moment, he received 150 million won in donations.
“If it’s Ivan…?”
Wasn’t he the player rumored to be Russia’s real power holder?
He’d heard rumors that despite being young for a person in power, he was the mastermind firmly grasping all of Russia.
Normally he would have mocked or joked along, but the donation amount was no joke.
“Uh…?”
He checked again.
Was it an error?
“Uh… Ivan… thank you….”
When it being not an error was more shocking.
“Richard donated 300,000,000 won. That day, I express deep gratitude for taking ‘that person’s’ side in my stead. Goldian is….”
“Richard donated 300,000,000 won. For Yongyong’s comfortable broadcasting, we are willing to provide all equipment and would be grateful if you contact Goldian anytime.”
A dream?
How hard would you have to be hit in the back of the head with a hammer to have this level of shock?
Crack.
Yongyong with his mouth wide open.
“Kraaang.”
The automatically set flame effect substituted for a reaction.
Isn’t this level of donation a first?
Plus if it’s Richard.
‘Goldian.’
It was also the name of Goldian’s chairman.
But Richard? Was it a typo, impersonation, or the correct spelling?
No, more than that, why were both Ivan and Richard donating in Korean?
Looking at the amount, it couldn’t be a scam.
“Should I… dance or something?”
That was what Yongyong came up with after much deliberation.
“Uh… refunds… are still possible… right?”
He couldn’t even understand what he was babbling.
He suddenly felt like opening the chat.
He wanted to see people’s astonishment, and also wanted to cry together with them.
“Greed donated 1,000,000,000 won. I’ll be watching.”
That day, it was said that Yongyong broke several world records.
Of course, the broadcast ended after Greed’s donation.

“What even is this?”
Lee Jae-Kyung said incredulously.
“What the…”
Because articles about Yongyong’s live broadcast were pouring onto the internet.
“Should I… do broadcasting too?”
Lee Jae-Kyung said that with a face showing hollowness or something indescribable.
“If mister does broadcasting, I’ll donate too.”
At Go Johan’s words, Lee Jae-Kyung nodded with an unreadable expression.
“I’m going to make a channel today. Sword Ghost Lee Jae-Kyung’s Beginner Swordsmanship Class, how’s that?”
“Not bad.”
At Go Johan’s words, Lee Jae-Kyung seemed to finally come to his senses.
“No, why did Ha-yeon do that?”
“She said it was admirable.”
Well.
The apostles’ mood that day had been serious.
It wouldn’t have been strange for anything to happen, and that even Lee Jae-Kyung had been in Gangnam with his sword drawn was one of the secrets only a few knew.
“Well, I should have donated something too.”
“I heard she set it so donation messages don’t even appear for anything under 50 million won.”
“…I have money too.”
Go Johan laughed.
“And Ivan and Richard, why did those guys do it in Korean?”
“Translation. And listening to what Ha-yeon said, whatever it was, it was a clever move. The marketing effect is more than that amount could produce.”
“But revealing the relationship…”
“Is that still a secret? Rather, people will probably just think of it as marketing anyway.”
Well now.
That was all Lee Jae-Kyung could say.
“Don’t you want to broadcast? I think you’d earn more than Yongyong.”
“Ah, that…”
Go Johan said as if it was nothing special.
“Listening to Ha-yeon’s story, I think she’s planning to buy that company.”
Lee Jae-Kyung turned around.
It seemed like talking more would only give him a headache.
