Chapter 346 - 346 – A Gentleman Must Act Classy
Everything was set up quickly. Max and Lily relaxed on the balcony. At first, he thought that it would be awkward at first, but there was nothing like that at all. They surprisingly got used to it soon.
"What are you planning to do today?" Lily asked curiously, holding a cup of iced water in her hands. "Are you streaming today?"
"That’s the plan." Max nodded, sipping his iced tea. "I wanted to invite you to stream together, but your personal VR Capsule hasn’t been sent yet."
"Hnn, that’s okay. I plan to create more songs for my new album today." She said, lowering the cups. "Just out of curiosity, but what are you playing today? More Mercenary Quest?"
"Most probably, yes. I want to finish the main storyline and see the Colossal-Class monster. I am also curious how big the Large-Class monster is. The game is so exciting that I want to play it again."
"Hmm, is it that fun?"
"Yeah, you should try it too."
"Maybe I will."
They talked for a while and Lily returned to the bedroom first because she wanted to concentrate. Max didn’t mind, as he planned to hop into his VR Capsule now and continue the Mercenary Quest.
"Then, see you later, Lily. If you need something, just call me. I will log out immediately." He looked at the bed where Lily made herself comfortable with her large plushie, Momo.
His girlfriend waved her hand at him, "Good luck."
Smiling, Max closed the capsule and dived into the VR world, in a better mood than usual. He appeared in his Lobby, sitting on the chair under the large tree. It had become a habit to start the livestream here before entering the game, like an intro of some sort.
Opening the livestream screen, he set the title and started it immediately.
[Who’s the best? I am the best! Oh, yeah. Let’s hunt monsters! #MercenaryQuest #MainStory #Storyline #GreatswordUser #Viral]
[Livestream Starts!]
A flock of viewers joined once they got the notification. Because he always streamed around the afternoon lately, his viewers had already expected it. Still, its number was still lower than when he streamed at night, peaking at around 11 to 12K only.
’That’s still a good number, but I want to grow more. I probably need to make an event or hold a subathon. The former will cost me money, but the latter will cost energy. The fact Lily now sleeps with me also makes it harder to stream 24/7 for it, as I don’t want other people to see her sleeping face.’
It was a dilemma, but he would just think about it later. At least, he planned to hold either one in the near future before the Streamer Wars to boost his viewers and followers.
After a few seconds, he changed the screen from the loading to the one floating before him.
A wine glass materialized in his hand, filled with red liquid that he moved around. In this condition, he greeted his viewers.
"Good day, people. You have managed to return to my dwelling. Today, we shall hunt another monster, with your best player, Breeze. Cough, I believe you guys are ready for today’s adventure?"
— ?!!
— Who are you?
— Gentleman, may I know your name? Breeze we know is greedy, selfish, not that polite, and not gentlemanly.
— Guys, I think the channel got hacked. Report it to Cyber Security! We need to rescue Breeze, he’s in a bind!
Your journey continues with NovelBin.Côm
— Who is this gentleman from the romance story? What happened to you? Who did this to you, Breeze?
— Baron?! Is that you, Baron? This noble me has known for a long time that you’re a classy guy!
"People, no need to fret. I am no more than Breeze that you know. It’s just… I have matured a lot. I have someone to take care of now, so I have to change. You will know the feeling when you experience it yourself."
Closing his eyes, Max sipped the liquid in the wine glass. It tasted sweet, just like grape juice. His conduct was filled with class, like an old medieval noble. The fact he wore a suit only made him look like his role.
— what the heck?
— That doesn’t explain why this happened
— Roleplay? Are you trying a roleplay?
— Damn, this is nuts. Breeze has become crazy
— Return our Breeze! My lovely Breeze!
— Naaah, this is trippy. Dude, stop the roleplay. It’s cringey!
The corner of his lips twitched. Max knew his viewers were blunt, but he didn’t expect them to call him crazy and cringe.
’Come on, I also want to roleplay every now and then.’
— Besides… You’re not a gentleman. You’re a rough mercenary
— Imagine a mercenary sipping wine or tea after they hunt monsters, their body still covered in blood.
— Yeah, not the best sight. If it’s a serial murderer, then it might feet. But mercenary? Yeah, no.
Max tried to imagine it and he shuddered. The image was just too far from what he liked.
"Yeah, my bad." He said, dropping his roleplay easily. "That’s disgusting, cringe, and makes me look like a crazy man. But hey, at least I am not a bad roleplayer."
He stood up, throwing the wine glass away. It spun in the air and hit the ground, shattering into pieces of light.
"Anyway, guys. I am in a good mood now, so I will play rather crazily. I won’t care about defense or strategy. Rush and kill is my strategy."
— So, just like the usual
— Yeah, the usual
— That’s not much different from your usual strategy, fight and win
— Somehow that will work out. That’s the power of the main character, and Breeze is the player
Now, that wasn’t surprising. He was indeed like that.
And he intentionally said his new strategy to get a reaction, which worked like a charm.
"Now, now. If you’re a gentleman, you must act classy. You shouldn’t nitpick at something small like that."
Saying so, he opened Mercenary Quest’s game menu. The intro should be enough. 12K viewers had gathered to watch him slay a monster.
"Now, as a gentleman myself, I will start the game immediately. I don’t want to make ladies wait."
His vision shifted as soon as he started the game.
