Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast
Chapter 167

It Takes Two.

It was a game where the most important thing was the coordination between us.

Since it was a game for two, moving in sync was crucial.

That’s why I unintentionally got angry.

‘I shouldn’t get too absorbed in the game.’

I knew that very well, but it was hard not to get immersed in the game when I wanted to do well.

Thinking that, I started to focus on coordinating with Ibaek.

“Jump there, and I’ll move to the right.”

Oh…! That’s a good idea.

“Ah, well… Yep.”

[Hahaha]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You’re starting to get tired of explaining now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Give an explanation ㅇㅇ]

[You need to explain if you want to do well later]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Just embarrassed himself]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Passing it off to Ibaek, lol]

[Really, haha]

[Yeah, it’s funny]

[If you talk like that, you’ll get kicked ㅇㅇ.. watch your words]

[Really, really]

I quickly checked the chat, and there were a lot of comments poking fun at me.

It made sense.

I hadn’t reacted much to those kinds of comments in the chat before, but this time, I couldn’t hold my anger back and reacted very strongly.

‘I won’t do this again next time.’

I realized I only got myself into trouble by getting angry, and I told myself I wouldn’t react like that again as I continued the game.

“Um... I think you should jump slowly from there.”

Ah... You're right.

“Yep.”

One, two, three...!

Ibaek took a deep breath and jumped—

Ugh…!

She fell straight down.

At the same time, we failed the mission.

“…Should we try again?”

Ah, yep...

But I don’t get angry over things like this.

I’ve experienced it before.

If I really got angry, I’d only lose.

After all, it’s just a game.

Thinking that, I checked the chat again.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I really want to get angry inside]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: If I were Dam, I’d have cursed at Ibaek already ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Dam is really a saint...]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Just can't do it, plain fact]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: That's why the game isn't going well]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: No arguments]

[Shit, haha]

[As expected, facts are coming from Twispook, haha]

[As expected, Twispook’s reign]

Once again, I checked the chat, and, of course, there were people poking fun at me.

But with my experience in broadcasting, I handled it smoothly.

“Hm-hm, let’s not insult other streamers.”

Oh... Am I being insulted...?

“No, I was dealing with people insulting Dam, which is why I was taking care of it.”

Ah, I see...

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ??]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: What does this mean?]

[Other streamer (it’s him)]

[Hahahaha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Dam is really a bug, lol]

[Temporarily kicked!]

[Can’t help but insult other streamers, haha]

[Right now, it’s Dugong, haha]

[That’s true, haha]

I smoothly temporarily kicked out Twispook, who was running wild in the chat.

Since there was no one to stop him, he seemed to be getting a little too carried away.

It was better to step in and set boundaries.

‘If I don’t intervene, he’ll keep going.’

With that thought in mind, I continued playing the game with Ibaek.

Honestly, at first, I thought I’d stop after a while, but seeing Ibaek working so hard, I couldn’t bring myself to stop.

I also felt a bit of stubbornness growing.

Maybe that’s why.

Our coordination was getting better and better.

After what seemed like a long time—

“Phew... We’re almost done.”

Finally, we were near the end.

I didn’t think we’d play this much, but here we were.

Yeah... I didn’t expect to stream this long.

At that point, the broadcast had been running for 14 hours.

That meant we had been playing for 14 hours straight.

Although there were breaks for food, it still felt like an incredibly long stream.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Never seen anyone stream this long without a break]

[Playtime usually lasts 10 to 13 hours, but wow, 14 hours is a lot]

[Now we know just how much trolling Ibaek did]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: I was going to go out and exercise after watching the stream]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: But I ended up just resting at home ㅇㅇ]

[So funny, haha]

[Broadcasts are always great with Dam, haha]

[Right now it’s not Dam, it’s Dugong, haha]

[Hwanhee: How long are you planning to keep this stream going?]

[Seriously, the stream is going on forever]

As I continued streaming, I had a thought.

“By the way, Ibaek, are you not tired?”

I was managing just fine because I’d been working out lately, but Ibaek seemed like she might be exhausted.

When I asked—

Me? I’m fine. I’m actually more worried about you, Dugong.

“Ah.”

She seemed to be holding up just fine.

Impressive, I thought.

Then, a donation popped up.

[Geon-gamul donated 10,000 won!]

Dugong... Ibaek is a true gym enthusiast, working out two hours a day...

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: She really works out a lot, haha]

[Who’s worried about who, lol]

[If anyone should be worried, it should be Ibaek worrying about Dugong]

[How is she able to do two hours of exercise? I’d be wiped out after just one hour]

[Ibaek, I want to lick your ass]

[Temporarily kicked!]

[What the hell, are you serious?]

[That’s just violence, lol]

I learned something unexpected.

Ibaek works out that much every day?

I could barely manage one hour, and I’d be completely wiped out, but she was doing two hours.

That’s impressive, I thought as we resumed the game.

“...Let’s get the ending. We’ve been streaming for a long time.”

Ah, yep, yep.

And so we started the final stretch of our 14-hour collaboration.

I don’t know how much time passed, but—

“Ugh… I’m exhausted.”

The feeling of exhaustion hit me.

But still, it felt good.

I had finished the game perfectly.

“Ibaek, you really worked hard.”

No, it’s the other way around. You worked hard, Dugong.

“Haha...”

To be honest, about 30 minutes before we reached the ending, I really wanted to quit.

We were stuck at a really tough spot.

Thankfully, we got out of it quicker than I thought, or I would’ve just ended the stream and gone to bed.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Didn’t think you’d beat it, haha]

[Great, Dugong]

[Wow, didn’t think you’d make it, haha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Damn, you actually beat it]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: You really did it]

[Dugong said he was streaming for 10 hours, and I didn’t expect this from the first day, haha]

[Great, Dam]

This broadcast had brought a lot of things.

I had a lot of footage for YouTube, and it had been fun from a broadcast perspective too.

And even—

‘...I didn’t expect so many donations.’

In the 15 hours of streaming with Ibaek, I received a total of 3 million won in donations.

That meant I was getting about 200,000 won per hour.

I thought that streaming for a long time really paid off, and I spoke up.

It was time to wrap it up.

“Ugh... I’m tired, and Ibaek must be tired too. It might be best to end it here.”

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Yep, yep]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: We really streamed a long time today]

[Good job today, Dugong]

[Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god, Dugong is a god]

[Fact: Dugong is really a god...]

[The game was so fun today]

[Please upload the replays, please upload the replays, please upload the replays, please upload the replays]

“Replays are up to the editor. I can’t do anything about it if you ask me.”

Of course, I could download the video and upload it myself, but that was too much trouble.

The editor would take care of it, I thought.

With that in mind, I said my final goodbyes to Ibaek.

“Ibaek, you really worked hard today.”

Ah, no.

“Next time, if we get the chance, it would be great to stream together again...”

Yep.

With that, we exchanged our goodbyes—

[The broadcast has ended!]

And the broadcast ended.

“Ugh...”

I laid down on the floor and tried to sleep.

Tweet, tweet—.

Waking up to the sweet sound of birds chirping, I took a quick shower and checked the time.

“Wow...”

I slept for 13 hours.

I couldn’t believe I wasn’t human anymore, and I checked YouTube.

But then—

“...Wait a minute.”

I noticed something strange.

The replay of yesterday’s broadcast was getting an unusually high number of views.
