The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

There was only one reason why I purposely set my character’s martial prowess to 1.

“Honestly, there’s no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, right?”

– Self-Handicap

– Is he saying that martial prowess 1 is enough for Chinese or Japanese guys?

– But what exactly is martial prowess?

– Just think of it simply as enhancing attack and defense.

-? How does he explain killing just fine with martial prowess 1?

– Why are you asking me, you f***ing idiot? Ask the streamer.

Confidence that martial prowess 1 was enough.

Though the viewers started to argue back and forth about what I said, I gracefully ignored them and slowly made my way back to our starting point.

That was the only reason I invested in intelligence instead of martial prowess.

Of course, increasing intelligence also increases <Stamina>, allowing for the use of more skills.

In <Fantasy War: East>, the higher your level, the more skills the player is granted.

Skills related to combat, command, and domestic affairs.

They are divided into active and passive skills, but active skills consume stamina each time they are used.

Intelligence raises the maximum stamina and maximizes skill efficiency.

Anyway, that was the reason.

“I’m back.”

After slaughtering the Chinese players and returning to the starting point, an amusing scene unfolded.

That was:

“Did you all become farmers or something?”

“Oh, you’re back?”

“What the…”

– The game genre changes again here lol

– How many genres does this game have lol

– Farming simulation gone mad.

– The peasant soldiers were here all along.

Including Dong-su hyung, the rest of the group were all holding farming tools and diligently tilling the soil.

I had a rough idea why they were doing that.

In <Fantasy War>, if players directly participate in tasks, the efficiency of resource production increases significantly.

In other words, the reason they were focusing on farming was to increase food production.

I watched the four of them diligently tilling the soil and chuckled.

“The Chinese players were all killed. We also annihilated the peasant soldiers they had recruited.”

At that, Empress-nim, who was wearing a straw hat, nodded and replied.

“Good work. Now we don’t have to worry about the Chinese team for a while.”

“Can’t we just keep crushing them every time they revive?”

Dong-su hyung said, putting down the plow he was holding.

But I looked at him and said,

“Dong-su hyung.”

“What?”

“I prefer to raise them and then eat them.”

“…Ah.”

“It’s more fun to give them a glimmer of hope before crushing them than to just crush them outright.”

Dong-su hyung shuddered slightly, looking at me, and said,

“There’s no demon quite like you.”

“We’ll keep sending scouts to the Chinese side, and next, it’ll be the Japanese friends?”

“Don’t worry. We also encountered Japanese scouts, so they shouldn’t be too far away.”

I nodded slightly at Empress-nim’s words and opened my inventory.

The additional profits from the last battle were quite substantial.

Not only did we loot the equipment of Chinese players, but we also plundered an iron mine, bringing back plenty of iron ore.

Clang.

Seeing the iron ore falling to the ground, our team members slowly nodded.

“This should be enough to build a blacksmith’s shop, right?”

“We can recruit peasant swordsmen too. This is plenty.”

“By the way, did you level up?”

“Just one level.”

“With intelligence 9, you have a lot of skills to choose from, right? What did you pick?”

“Vampire.”

“Good.”

The skill list given per level.

Based on the data we collected over the past week, each of us had already completed our own skill trees.

The skill I chose was a passive skill called <Vampire>.

As the name suggests, it’s a skill that restores a certain amount of health and stamina each time you kill an enemy.

Since I didn’t need to learn skills related to domestic affairs anyway.

I was going to raise my character to be a typical ‘musou’ character.

In the game system of <Fantasy War>, the more you fight, the more your martial prowess increases.

In my case, it was less likely that my intelligence would increase.

Intelligence was a stat that increased through domestic affairs.

In the early stages, I could overcome it with physical strength.

Even in the mid-game, my investment in intelligence would be of great help.

Empress-nim immediately built a blacksmith’s shop in the village with the iron ore I gave her.

Then she looked at me slowly and said,

“Shall we start by upgrading Sha-nim’s weapon?”

One of the other functions of the blacksmith’s shop is to enhance players’ equipment.

While Empress-nim and I were talking about that, a viewer watching the scene started cracking jokes.

– What’s this? A marriage flag?

– lol Is this Lü Bu and Diaochan?

– No, isn’t it clearly Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo? lol

– Crazy lol Dong Zhuo?

– Yeah, if you’re the faction leader, you’re Dong Zhuo lol

– Female Dong Zhuo lol

– Has Dong Zhuo gone mad lol

– But Empress and Dong Zhuo do fit well together. Empress used to play like a tyrant in the game lol I remember one of her nicknames was tyrant.

– But calling a woman Dong Zhuo is a bit much;;

I chuckled at the chat.

Then I casually said to Empress-nim, who was talking earnestly about our future plans.

“Empress-nim.”

“Yes?”

“My viewers are calling you Dong Zhuo.”

Empress-nim nodded contentedly and replied.

“Dong Zhuo. I like it.”

“…What?”

“Lü Bu was originally a general under Dong Zhuo. At least Dong Zhuo is superior to Lü Bu, so it means I’m superior to Sha-nim, right? It’s a good thing.”

Is that how she interpreted it?

…Ahem.

Well, is there anyone with a normal mindset next to me?

2.

After building a blacksmith’s shop with the iron ore we plundered from the Chinese team, our team’s growth accelerated rapidly.

Thanks to thoroughly dividing roles, the early development centered around Empress-nim and Dong-su hyung was smooth.

The task force was divided into two groups.

Sae-rin noona and Yoo-seon noona led soldiers together, while I single-handedly captured resource zones without any trouble.

For the first three hours of the game, only peasant soldiers occupied the resource zones.

Thus, three hours passed in a flash, and the Korean team, having captured two villages, two iron mines, two granaries, and one lumber mill, advanced quickly compared to other nations.

– Honestly, just capturing is boring

– Boring parrot, get out lol

– No, it’s fun causing trouble alone just once or twice…

– The action is monotonous, so it’s not fun.

– I think it’ll be fun once we start massacring Chinese or Japanese players.

The viewers’ evaluations were calmly delivered.

Indeed, this type of game wasn’t particularly exciting to watch.

Moreover, since our team focused on strategy from the beginning, we didn’t play dynamically.

Perhaps they preferred dragging around a bunch of peasant soldiers like the Chinese did.

Just as public sentiment was about to plummet again, I received a timely message from Empress-nim.

“Three Japanese players spotted at the eastern border. Their unit consists of peasant soldiers and peasant swordsmen. Their objective is likely plunder.”

It was an order that stated only what was necessary, and I nodded with a slight smile.

The eastern border was where our faction’s largest granary was located. If that was damaged, our food production would drop, impacting our population.

The unusual reaction wasn’t from me but from the viewers when they heard Empress-nim’s voice.

– They’ve been fighting nonstop from the start.

– Breaking news: Japan forms a tacit alliance with China. Their goal is the destruction of the Korean faction.

– Those sneaky Japs lol

– But where’s the source of this breaking news?

– I speak three languages fluently and heard it on a Japanese stream lol

– Impressive spy.

– Spy confirmed.

Due to the nature of this event being streamed by the streamer, secrets were nonexistent. Japan and China probably formed an alliance after watching our broadcasts and understanding the current state of the Korean faction.

If things went smoothly, they wouldn’t be able to stop Korea’s expansion.

After looking at the chat, I responded to Empress-nim.

“It seems Japan and China have formed an alliance?”

Empress-nim replied as if she already knew.

“I just heard about it too. Sha-nim? You can handle it, right?”

“Of course.”

Empress-nim laughed briefly at my answer, then spoke in a calm voice.

“I think Dong Zhuo would have felt something similar when sending Lü Bu to the battlefield.”

“Pardon?”

“I’m reassured. It feels like I’ve had two bowls of soup. Please handle it well. It’s a bit tricky to recruit troops right now… so I think you should go with Sae-rin unni.”

In siege warfare, archers are the most crucial unit. Since they can attack from a distance, our faction also had archers ready. They were probably the units with the highest maintenance costs among those we currently had.

After briefly replying to Empress-nim, I headed to the east with Sae-rin noona.

“Sae-rin noona, do you remember our defense strategy?”

“I remember, but are you sure it’s okay? This time the enemy will have swordsmen too.”

“Swordsmen? As long as they’re not elite guards, we can handle them easily.”

Our defense strategy was very simple. I would block the path to the stronghold alone while the archers fired arrows diligently. The granary wasn’t a city, so it was surrounded by a palisade, but that was enough in the early stages of the game.

While Sae-rin noona and I were talking, we arrived at the granary.

“We’re not late.”

“There they are.”

Fortunately, we reached the granary before the Japanese arrived and immediately began preparations for defense. Sae-rin noona quickly positioned the archers behind the palisade.

A few minutes later, a significant number of enemy troops appeared in the distance.

The Japanese players even had a standard-bearer with them. Standard-bearers boost their allies’ morale just by their presence, and seeing theirs made us frown.

– Ugh;;;

– Korean national pride is strong, but Japan’s is unmatched lol

– Rising Sun Flag????

– Oh shit lol

– Wow, they really are crazy.

The standard-bearer was holding a Rising Sun Flag. While customizing faction flags was possible, I didn’t expect the Japanese to go that far.

Sae-rin noona spat on the ground as she looked at the Rising Sun Flag.

Grinding her teeth, she said,

“Why are they doing this? Just looking at it makes me feel like they’re trash.”

“Well, I think it’s because of me.”

“Why because of you… Ah!”

“I hear I’m somewhat of a superstar over in Japan. You remember, right?”

To Japanese gamers, my name was unforgettable. I was the one who dealt a significant blow to Japan’s representative game, <Samurai Wars>.

Seeing that Rising Sun Flag, I felt at ease. Those guys probably thought they were causing us trouble.

But to me, it was just a perfect justification.

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched the Japanese approaching the palisade.

“If they hadn’t done that, they would have been hit less painfully. It seems they want a thorough beating.”

– lololololol

– The bully assigned to handle Japan is still alive.

– Lipatman! Lipatman! Lipatman! Lipatman! Lipatman!

– Ah lol I haven’t heard that in a while.

– Lipatman is still alive…!

‘NationalPrideMissionMan’ has donated 10,000 won!

[LPM! LPM! LPM!]

The nickname that had already become a memory. As I watched the Japanese players who had reached the palisade, I asked casually,

“Have you ever heard of Lipatman? It’s a pretty famous name in your country. Oh, why are you so triggered? It’s just a question.”

It was time for Lipatman to return.
