Chapter 16: Invasion Of The Merkers

“Then shall we have a game with Brain Agent?”

“Let’s go!!”

Not knowing if it was a trick or for real, he just blindly pressed Go.

Dongtak, Dongpungjeon. Oya 1st main battle.

Dora 5 sak. A decent hand of Langshanten and Aka 1.

It looks hard to cry, and he plays defense moderately, reaches when the opportunity arises, and runs away when he gets the first move.

Since 5 blocks have already been formed, it’s a good way to measure skill.

When the 4th round comes, Dora 5 sak appears, and he breaks Seo Toitsu and receives Dora 5.

He forms 1 block with 235 sak.

Hmm… hmm.

“What do you think?”

“Since it’s Dongtak, well—he can find romance. But didn’t you say Brain Agent?”

“Because his body moves first… Modern mahjong focuses on hitting points, so it might not be a bad choice.

Of course, it’s the same with Shantenmodoshi.

In face-to-face, he tsumogiris 5 sak, but in Sanga, it’s 456 sak chi.

In the second round, he took it with Feng and went to the second round.

The loss was 6 sak.

In that case, it was 446 waiting, so if the hand was good, wouldn’t it be more likely that it was already ten-pai?

Since it’s Dong-tak, I’m not sure.”

“What should I do here?”

“Well… based on what I can see, it’s the second round, and considering that there’s no chance of Dora being there anymore, it doesn’t seem like the opponent’s attack point will be that high.

It seems better to push moderately and then step down when it’s dangerous.”

“I don’t know how moderately that is.”

It was a game where they pushed smoothly, and the first game ended with 2000 when Sang-ga safely shot the opponent in the face.

It was a normal game that didn’t need a brain drain or anything.

“This kind of game is one where you just let it go, so my judgment was fine. The discarded cards weren’t bad either.”

“Oh—Sol has talent after all?”

“Hmm…”

If this person were next to me, he would have known what I was trying to say just by looking at my expression.

At times like this, a virtual avatar really doesn’t help.

There’s something that can be conveyed with just facial expressions, without having to say anything.

2 countries, Dora is 50,000.

5 blocks haven’t even been formed, but a Dora and a white Toitzu card.

It seems like there’s hope, but it’s not. It’s ambiguous.

In the first round, 1 ton tsumo, 90,000 tapped out, forming an 11 ton block.

In the second round, 30,000 tsumo, 4 ton tapped out, 23.35 million.

He tried to brainwash them, but he still tapped out right away without asking for opinions.

Hmm… What’s his intention? It’s hard to know.

“Why did you do that?”

“23, 35, 11, 789, white toitzu makes 5 blocks.”

“Then why did you take the dong?”

“Ah!!”

Did he forget about the dong’s existence? That makes sense.

Or was he determined to cry dong? But he took the white toitzu while taking the dong…

“Should I explain the value of the cards? I think you said you knew the basics.”

“No… No…”

“Let’s just throw away Dong in the next turn. That should work…”

“But don’t you think what you’ve brought up so far is a bit of a waste? Dong might come out again…”

“Jaehyun, don’t do stocks. You’re definitely the type that would get hit by a -70% beam.”

==============

Sensei Red Pen.

= He’s scolding me softly aaaaaaa =

It seems like this person keeps trying to suppress me, but let’s hit him?

He immediately recovers in the 3rd turn, throws away 3 sak while tsumoing 60,000.

Dong is still left. Why on earth!!!!

I’m starting to feel frustrated and going crazy.

Hold it in…

4th turn, Daemyeon throws Baek.

“Do it here after Baek.”

“Huh?”

Jaehyun naturally presses the skip button.

Why… aren’t you crying?

Suddenly, I feel like I’m being piled on like in that meme that came up on the internet…

I’m going crazy… I think I’m going to lose my mind…

“Pung, why didn’t you do it?”

“Uh… was going to wait one more turn.”

“Huh?”

“I thought someone might throw away the white, so I tried to be careful and wait.”

“Um… Who can guarantee that they’ll throw it away? Our ancestors?”

In mahjong, there’s something called a king’s tile.

Since not all the tiles are used, there might be a case where white can never be cried, so how on earth are they going to solve the 11th tile now?

It’s truly a mystery.

Was it a situation where it was okay to not cry white?

Well, it could be, but wouldn’t it have been a better situation for white to cry?

Oh, this guy really isn’t easy…

Kekekekekekekekeke =

No, there’s only one card left, so why on earth aren’t you crying?

Since white is going to be thrown away all, isn’t that the right decision?

= Ah, this is really frustrating, I’m going crazy.

[o donated 1,000 won. What kind of health is this? It’s not like my ancestors are lifting the weights, but viewers are interfering at the right time. They have a good sense. It would be fun to broadcast with these viewers, but I almost said—

Jaehyun throws away the book that Daemyeon threw away.

What the heck is that…

When that kind of behavior occurs, it’s usually right to see that there’s a way to vent his anger, but since it’s Dongtak, you can’t be sure about that.

There are definitely cases where they face a situation where they face no reverse.

Shin Do-ra is 1 tong.

Jaehyun’s hand is a surefire defeat with Dora 3.

And 80,000 from Daemyeon.

No, why does he get 80,000 when he got 70,000 out of 770,000?

The more I look at it, it seems more serious there than here??

6 soon, and then 4 sak comes out.

“Ah!! This is crazy!!”

“Why??”

“No, if I throw away 3 months, you’ll get 4 months. Does that make sense?!”

“… Are you doing this on purpose?”

My voice came out as if I was frustrated.

I let him throw away 3 months to see how far he’d go, and this is what happened.

He’s not even a proxy anymore.

Just put up with this, stop it…

Not at all, Jaehyun doesn’t even show a flustered expression and continues to protest that he’s been wronged.

If this is the real concept, isn’t this person born with talent as a streamer?

Honestly, I think I’m going to have trouble breathing.

Is this the mahjong I know?

Or was this how Dong-taks used to fight?

Was I like this 10 years ago?

It makes me reflect on when I was younger.

For some reason, I feel like I’m having a hard time merging.

When 9 months came in, I throw away 20,000.

Sigh… 33,660,000 11 tong 99,660,000 5 toi.

Going for Chittoi isn’t such a bad choice.

If I had made a sensible judgment from the beginning, it would have already been Ishanten or Tenpai.

“How about aiming for Chitoi?”

“It’s not bad. There was no need to go down this path in the first place.”

“Please praise me, teacher! Please, I beg you.”

[Handongji donated 1,000 won.]

• I need to get hit a little to come to my senses.

== Soon, Haga’s 4-sak-giri-rich.

And 2-sak-tsumo, I lose the 4-sak before I can say anything.

4-sak is moose.

The discard pile is 114,000 tongnam 9-sak.

Why on earth??

“Why that??”

A flustered voice pops out.

“Since I already threw away 4-sak, Chitoi won’t work.”

“But the opponent made a rich?”

“But doesn’t that have nothing to do with it?”

I slap my forehead without realizing it.

Looking at my chat room, it’s a total mess.

“Let’s stop watching, it’s also painful for us who are watching, it’s basic for Dong-Tak to act like that but it’s a bit too much,” etc.

He didn’t swear, but it really felt like he was yelling with a sword.

But still, Oya’s Man-Gwan-Tzu-Mo was so smooth that he didn’t have time to do anything.

Ah… I think it’s going to come out….

[Shinrim Majang-Jak-Pa-Da-Dan donated 5,000 won.]

• If you swear at him once, you’ll get 10,000 won.

“Hey, how can you? But you came to me to learn from me… But it’s a bit… It’s hard. Right?”

He answers without pressing the mic key.

My room chat is filled with “aaa.”

The people in the other room are here too, so I think they can hear it, but it’s hard.

It’s not like I said anything that would be a problem.

The game is coming to an end, 4 countries.

Now let’s stop talking about brainwashing and all.

Let’s just watch…

Dora is 2 sacks.

When she thinks of 1-sun 2 sacks, she abandons Seo and Haga immediately bangs.

The chat window on the other side is asking why you threw it away, and you’re going crazy because you’re screwed.

“Ah… Shouldn’t you have thrown it away?”

“No, you should have thrown it away. That kind of thing can’t be helped. You did a good job.”

But you should give him a little carrot.

Jaehyun laughs, saying that he thought so.

Yeah, that’s enough…

The store explodes again after he throws away the book, and then Tsumo gets 90,000.

And then 50,000.

A truly miraculous defeat that makes your eyes sparkle is happening right before your eyes.

No, there’s still a dong-bal left in the book!!

“Are you going to leave the dong-bal and make soup?”

“Ah!!”

Ah, my blood pressure is rising.

My blood pressure is rising…!

I automatically grab my bangs.

Why is it that he’s acting stupidly, but my body is being damaged?

If he’s inducing this kind of reaction, then this guy is truly a genius.

I wonder if I’m the only one who thought my blood pressure was rising, as the thousand-won punches were flying out in a flurry, swear words without any swear words were being thrown.

[Mr. donated 2,000 won.]

-Honestly, if Kim Jae-hyun is doing this to extort money from 10,000 won dispensers, then it makes sense…

“Get out!!”

Jae-hyun temporarily blocks his opponent while shouting.

He loses 10,000. It’s an okay choice, and Sang-ga loses 7 times.

It’s the 4th time he got 7… It seems like a fast hand.

“Jae-hyun, maybe Sang-ga, that is, the teacher, seems to be a bit fast at losing.”

“Really?? Why??”

“If you look, he just got the North, but he got the North even though he doesn’t need it at all.

That means he already has a means to make money, and he threw away 10,000 Nam and 67,000 Tong.

Considering that 67,000 Tong is a valuable hand, you can think that he’s fast enough to throw away such a hand.”

“Hmm… is that so?”

You must have heard what I said.

Jae-hyun throws away Dong, the incoming foot.

It could be shot with a double dong, but in a situation where the foot came in, it is a bit ambiguous to break a block of 1.23 million and lower 10,000, so it is within the acceptable range for Dong-tak.

Sang-ga’s Aka 50,000 defeat.

At least it is certain that there are no spare blocks.

Jae-hyun defeated 9 tongs.

If he was going to defeat 9 tongs, wouldn’t it have been a better decision to just defeat 7 tongs?

By discarding 9 tongs, it is the same as excluding the move of 8 tongs, so 7 tongs should be considered as half a dead hand.

Then there is no reason to discard 9 tongs, which are real, rather than just discarding 7 tongs.

As several turns pass without a hitch, Jae-hyun continues to show his intention to attack.

Attacking… how is he going to attack?

I just can’t find a way.

10,000 is in hand.

1,123,890,378 tongs 277 sak burst.

Since 10,000 is real, there is no reason not to discard 10,000…

“Discard 10,000. Why aren’t you discarding it?”

“You’re being too defensive. This isn’t my mahjong!!”

“Huh??”

“Go 3-tong!!”

The mouse was placed on 3-tong.

There were 5 seconds left.

“No, teacher, I told you not to put that in..”

“Teacher, it’s theory but I’m in practice. I’ll play my own mahjong!”

The tone of his voice was really pissed off because he had been playing defense all along.

He hesitated until the very end and pressed the mouse just before 0 seconds.

3-tong fell to the floor.

2 seconds felt like an eternity, Ron.

With the reverse white, -2000.

“Ahhhh!!”

Although the hitting score is low, because of the tsumomo, it became 20100 and became Las.

Destroyed like a dog with Las.

-24 points.

The path to Eun-tak is just one step away.

[User o donated 1,000 won.]

• You’re really bad. Please, if you brought someone, listen to me.

“You don’t know anything! Do you not know anything!”

= Dog answer answer =

ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ

= This kid really has no talent =

And he blames himself for being a loser =

Daily Sensei is sobbing aaaaaaa =

All the devils’ teeth are breaking =

Jackie yahoo!! Jackie yahoo!! Jackie yahoo!! Jackie yahoo!!

He puts his hand on his forehead.

Is this… right?

Is it right to teach mahjong to a person like this?

Wouldn’t not teaching mahjong be the way to make this person happy?

Furthermore, wouldn’t it be taking care of the mentality of countless viewers?

Whether or not, Jaehyun continues to protest that he is right.

“I did this and that, this and that were right, you were wrong,” etc.

He couldn’t help his mistakes, didn’t Sensei praise me for my defeats at some point, I have talent.

He’s pulling out his hair.

Not as a fellow streamer, but as one of the lyricists who seriously plays mahjong, I can’t just sit by and watch this mess!!!!!!!

He presses the mic button and is about to snap, but holds back for a moment.

No, if he says, “Here’s what I did seriously and what I did that made you feel like you have no talent and should quit mahjong,” it might feel good for a while, but it won’t give me anything.

I have to gain viewers through this broadcast.

So what should I do?

While dropping fact bombs, isn’t it important to do them appropriately so that they seem like a fun person?

The image of someone who takes mahjong seriously is good as a lyricist, but isn’t it disqualifying as a streamer?

“Jaehyun-nim.”

“Yes?”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Jaehyun’s chat window bursts into laughter as he trails off, knowing what he’s going to say.

Yes, you know how I feel, right?

“What did I do wrong?”

“Um… everything?”

Yes?

He thinks about what to point out to Jaehyun, who asks back.

One or two revisions should do the trick.

“I think Jaehyun needs to study the basics first. About the value of cards. I think you studied it before, but you haven’t covered the basics at all. I think you need to look at it again, and it seems like it’ll be difficult to teach you anything in your current state.”

[User oo donated 1,000 won.]

• Sensational ‘No foundation’ ‘No basics’

Why is my friend’s voice so funny today? Wow, I feel so sorry—

In the chatroom, Jaehyun continues to protest that it’s unfair.

“37 is the most valuable, followed by 28, then 19, and Ja-pae is the lowest,” he explains the value of the cards, but…

“Then why didn’t you just do it?”

“… I have nothing to say.”

“And in the end… Honestly, I told you to, but you threw it away, so… I felt… like… that.”

I didn’t say anything, but I pulled out my hair so much that a lot of it fell on the floor.

Jaehyun kept apologizing to the donation asking for revenge for the hair.

“Overall, it’s a bit serious. There are some parts that seem okay, but wouldn’t it be most important to study the basics by watching a rice course or something?”

[Please fold it, Mr. Jebaljeop donated 1,000 won.]

• You can’t even play LoL or mahjong, what the hell are you good at??

= Clowning =

Emotional control =

I can control my emotions! I can suck all the money out of you!

“No, quit, teachers. Mahjong is such a fun game, why do you keep trying to make Jaehyun quit? Teachers, you should definitely try mahjong too. There’s no game as fun as this. If you come to my broadcast, I’ll teach you well.”

“Stop stealing viewers from my broadcast..”

These were the words Jaehyun quietly blurted out in the midst of being bombarded with comments from the donjon chat.

No, I’ll stick a straw in too—

“You’ve worked hard.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

After finishing the merge, they exchanged greetings.

They were suddenly invited when they were just meeting for the first time, and after playing tiki-taka for hours without any time to get ready, they were tired.

They thought about finishing right away, washing up, and going to bed, but wouldn’t it be better if the other person was a big company streamer to have some hope for the next straw?

“You’re good at broadcasting. How long have you been doing it?”

The tone was so calm that it was hard to believe that they were just talking to each other.

It seems like everything they were talking about up until then was a concept.

“It feels like it hasn’t even been two months.”

“You’ve grown this much in two months? You’re so talented. Usually, you get one or two viewers, or ten, but how many did you get in less than two months? Was it over a hundred? You seem to be really good.”

“No, it’s not that I’m good at it, but there was a little bit of a chance for viewers to come in… That’s what it feels like. I’ve also eaten a lot of things raw.”

In the first place, I was a famous person in the mahjong gallery, and thanks to that, the show was able to start with 20 or 30 people from the beginning. Usually, there are only one or two people who start a show, and they often face situations where they go crazy because they have to keep talking to themselves, but I skipped that stage.

“Seizing opportunities is also a skill,” Jaehyun said with a smile.

I was grateful that he taught me well even though I suddenly asked him to teach me because mahjong was fun, and I was thankful that he fit in well with the show. That kind of story continued.

“But Jaehyun-nim.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know if this is rude, but is making people mad on that show… part of the concept?”

“Huh?”

Hahaha. Jaehyun said, smiling awkwardly.

“Not all of it, but there is a certain amount of the concept. Isn’t that the case, Mr. Pardan? Do you only say your true feelings on the show?”

“Well… I think I’m about 95% sincere.”

At the story that he didn’t think much of it in the first place, Jaehyun laughed again.

A sound like fingers tapping on the desk could be heard through the microphone.

In the brief silence as if he was thinking about something, I held back what I was going to say.

“What I’m saying may not be the right answer, but Mr. Pardan has his own broadcast and style. I don’t think you should be 100% sincere on a broadcast. I’m not asking you to lie to the viewers, but to show them what they’ll like. Sometimes you have to give the viewers the image they want. For example, if you watch my broadcast, who would like it if a person is ruined, angry, and immature? But the viewers like that.”

A low voice that seemed slightly sincere.

It was the complete opposite of the high-tension voice that came out on broadcasts.

Was this his usual self?

“What I’ve felt while broadcasting for a long time is that viewers aren’t really curious about the image of me that I want to show. Viewers have their own image of themselves. In my case, I’m proud or arrogant, and then I get hit back, and then I feel wronged. You can’t say that I don’t have this side to myself. I think I was able to show that side because I had that side to begin with, but it’s not like what I show on broadcast is everything.”

While listening to that story, I thought about how streamers show a side of themselves that they don’t usually show, and how people like that. If you continue to do business in that direction, people will demand an even more extreme side, and if you go all the way…

“Of course, you can’t show only what viewers want, and you shouldn’t show them. People get tired easily, and they don’t know what they want. You can’t know if someone who wants an extreme side really wants that side. I think they themselves don’t know exactly what they want.”

This is refuted right away…

I don’t know why I’m suddenly talking about this. Jaehyun laughed awkwardly.

“Are you saying that I have to know how to bend to the viewers?”

“That’s the feeling. It’s important to maintain the tension by pushing and pulling. It’s not good to be dragged around too much or pulled around.”

I’ve felt while broadcasting that a broadcaster shouldn’t try to do what they want too much.

Jaehyun said he didn’t know why he was suddenly talking about this, and jokingly asked that people not tell others.

Well, I don’t know why you said that, but it was a great help to me.
