Chapter 176

Electric shocker and knuckles.

Fortunately, those vicious items were just for intimidation.

“Gyeongsaeng-nim is enough with bare hands.”

“Right. No need for knuckles.”

Yoho and Minji placed their weapons on the table.

Then, they started stomping on Guburi, who was tied up by Balloon Gum.

Minji was wearing a prosthetic leg.

【Semen Thief】─LOL, getting beaten so satisfyingly.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─Feels so refreshing.

【Cat-eared Woman】─Hit him more! More!!!

【Drifting AI】─ദ്ദി˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵)

【Team Leader Park】─But why are you hitting him?

【Cat-eared Woman】─Because he’s Gyeongsaeng Guburi.

【Team Leader Park】─I see.

“Ah, aah! Stop hitting me!!!”

“Don’t move! Take it quietly!”

As Guburi screamed, Balloon Gum tightened his restraints.

“Guburi-ya. You should’ve behaved properly in the chat.”

Palkgui also joined in, laughing and stomping on Guburi.

It was a heartwarming scene that naturally brought smiles.

‘Still, it’s good that no one is seriously hitting him.’

It wasn’t a brutal beating.

They were just playfully stomping lightly.

It seemed the viewers didn’t entirely hate Guburi; there was some love-hate relationship.

【Team Leader Park】─But you’re hitting him very lightly. Not even a bruise.

【Semen Thief】─It’s not a serious beating, just a prank. LOL.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─If they were serious, Gye Se-hoon would’ve stopped them.

【Cat-eared Woman】─Too bad.

Amid the lively beating, Yoho glanced sideways and then turned to Palkgui.

“Palkgui-nim… Is it okay for a soldier to hit a civilian?”

Yoho recognized Palkgui immediately.

It was obvious.

Palkgui had appeared on my broadcast before.

Plus, he was wearing a military uniform, so it was impossible not to recognize him.

“Guburi can be hit… Huh? Wait, why is the chairman of Oseong Group here?”

But Palkgui didn’t recognize Yoho.

That was also obvious.

Yoho’s face had never been shown on my broadcast.

Even during video calls, only I had seen Yoho’s face.

Yoho answered while stomping on Guburi.

“Ah. I’m Yoho.”

“What the… The chairman is Yoho?”

Palkgui looked shocked.

He answered while stomping on Guburi.

“You bastards!!! Don’t talk while hitting me!!!”

Guburi seemed to be ignored.

“That idiot Yoho is the chairman of Oseong Group…”

Palkgui muttered to himself.

He looked quite flustered.

It seemed surprising that Yoho was the chairman of the world’s top company, Oseong Group.

Well, it is surprising.

When the chat mentioned Yoho being a corporate chairman, even I was a bit shocked.

“Palkgui-nim. Did you just call me an idiot?”

“…Ah, no. Let’s finish beating this guy first. No, let’s beat him.”

Yoho and Palkgui finished their conversation and resumed beating Guburi.

“Guburi-nim, die!!!”

Minji had been beating Guburi non-stop from the beginning.

She seemed a bit serious.

***

Eventually, the beating ended.

Guburi knelt on the floor, bowing his head.

“I’m sorry… I’ll behave properly in the chat from now on…”

The other viewers looked satisfied.

But Guburi wasn’t the type to stay quiet.

When everyone’s attention was elsewhere, he took out his phone.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─You bastards are so cowardly, ganging up on me. If it were one-on-one, you’d lose to me. You idiots.

【Cat-eared Woman】─??

【Team Leader Park】─Ah, yes…

【Semen Thief】─LOL, he’s got pride.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─Guburi-ya. Then go challenge them to a one-on-one fight.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─And it doesn’t hurt at all. Those guys are so weak. LOL.

【Cat-eared Woman】─It doesn’t hurt because we hit you lightly.

【Team Leader Park】─Of course it doesn’t hurt. No one hit you seriously.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─LOL.

The chat was still full of bravado.

【Semen Thief】─He’s so bold now that those girls aren’t watching the broadcast.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Even if they were watching, it wouldn’t matter. LOL.

Given Guburi’s personality.

Even if there were regular viewers, he would’ve chatted like that.

He’s the second strongest in the Digital World after Drifting.

“Guburi-ya. Let’s get back to cooking.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Yeah. Sex.

Guburi got up and walked back to the kitchen.

At that moment.

“Wow. There are so many people. Are we the last to arrive?”

“Probably not. Looks like we’re a bit short on numbers.”

“Oh. Gye Se-hoon is here in person.”

Three women entered the kitchen, chatting.

Two of them were familiar faces.

The woman in hanbok was Maehwa Tree.

The blonde in a stylish black coat was Jujijoa.

The third one.

A woman wearing glasses and a bulletproof vest was a new face, but presumably Meng Yao.

Since she came with Jujijoa.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─What’s with the bulletproof vest?

【Cat-eared Woman】─Life is precious.

【Semen Thief】─Right. That place is dangerous.

And.

Kyu Mi-ho was dangling from Jujijoa’s leg.

Kyu Mi-ho looked fierce, biting Jujijoa’s leg and shouting.

“Kyu! Kyuaaa!!! Say your nickname before entering!!! Don’t ignore me!!!”

Apparently.

They had ignored Kyu Mi-ho at the front gate and just walked past.

Given Maehwa and Jujijoa’s personalities, it made sense.

“Kyuuwuuu!!! Can’t you see me?! Can’t you hear my voice?!”

As Kyu Mi-ho was getting angry.

Reubangyi approached, yawning with sleepy eyes.

[Reubang… Did you come while I was sleeping, Reubang.]

“Reubang Kyuuwu, welcome! These humans didn’t say their nicknames and just entered! Bite them!!”

[Those humans are guests. I’ve met that blonde one before, Reubang.]

“Kyuuwu? But why aren’t they saying their nicknames?! Are they ignoring me!!? Or, wait… Did they learn invisibility magic without me knowing…?”

[Stop talking nonsense and follow me, Reubang.]

Reubangyi grabbed Kyu Mi-ho’s tail and dragged her outside.

Afterward.

I greeted Maehwa, Jujijoa, and Meng Yao.

Maehwa said she met Jujijoa and Meng Yao on the way and came together.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─Are all three of them foreigners?

【Cat-eared Woman】─Yes.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─It’s surprising, but they all speak Korean really well. Almost like native speakers. They type in Korean perfectly too.

【Cat-eared Woman】─I’m also really good at Korean. LOL.

【Semen Thief】─God Korea. ㄷㄷ

Meng Yao was as fluent in Korean as the other two foreigners.

Even with the translation feature turned off, there was no issue in conversation.

I asked Meng Yao if she usually speaks Korean.

“Ah. When it’s just me and Jujijoa, we speak Chinese. Sometimes English too. But when others are around, we speak Korean. Lately, because of Balloon Gum, I’ve been using Korean all the time.”

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─Why not just use English?

After taking my eyes off Meng Yao.

I glanced at Jujijoa and Maehwa beside her.

And thinking of Guburi, I sighed.

‘What if Guburi is worse at Korean than these foreigners…’

Thinking that.

I glanced at Guburi standing in front of the kitchen.

“Lulu~ Yoho bastard’s food needs a ton of capsaicin~”

Guburi was muttering to himself, laughing.

“Hehe. Minji bitch is dead. You made me angry.”

Then.

The new viewers quickly approached Guburi.

“W-what? Don’t disturb me while I’m cooking…!”

Guburi said timidly, scared.

Maehwa smirked.

Jujijoa and Meng Yao also showed sinister smiles.

“D-don’t disturb me… I’ll tell Min Neong…!”

The second Guburi beating session began.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─Beat Guburi to death!!!

【Drifting AI】─ദ്ദി˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵)

【Cat-eared Woman】─He might really die this time.

【Semen Thief】─Pray for the soul of the triangle kimbap.

【Team Leader Park】─Hitwoman······.

I decided to just watch again.

No one would be seriously hitting him.

***

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Sex. It didn’t hurt this time either. Exorcist, Hitwoman, Hacker bastards are nothing. If we fight seriously, I might win. LOL.

【Team Leader Park】─Guburi-senpai is so cute. LOL.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】─He really needs to get properly beaten once.

【Cat-eared Woman】─Exactly.

After the second Guburi beating festival ended.

We went out to the yard and set up a large table.

It was big enough for twenty people to sit comfortably.

“Guys. We’ve decorated the Christmas tree, so let’s sit and relax.”

So we gathered and sat down.

Except for the viewers helping Guburi with cooking.

Later.

While waiting for the remaining viewers, we chatted.

Bzzzzz!

One of the phones on the table vibrated.

It was Yoho’s phone.

“Ah, sorry. I need to take this call.”

Yoho picked up the phone and answered.

And at that moment.

[Chairman!!!!!]

A frantic voice echoed loudly from the phone.

Even though it wasn’t on speaker, the voice was loud enough to fill the yard.

The caller seemed half out of their mind, rambling.

[It’s an emergency! An attack! All the guards stationed around the village have been taken down! That woman will be here soon!!]

Hearing that.

Yoho frowned slightly and asked.

“Excuse me. I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. Who is coming here?”

[······The strongest swordsman in Korea, and the former director of Daehan Seoul Group, a woman named Big Girl!]

“Huh? Big Girl-nim?”

[Yes! I don’t know why… But suddenly Big Girl appeared in the village and quickly subdued our guards, and is now heading your way! She might be targeting you, Chairman, so please evacuate immediately!!]

Something ridiculous was happening.
