Chapter 147: Chapter 147 – Next Streaming Goal
Thinking that his answer wasn't interesting enough, he decided to elaborate.
"As you might've known already, we met before a Knight's Journey program and got to know each other better when we were both competing. From then on, we often contacted each other and had a collaboration. Well, she's also StoneSword's little sister. And I am also friends with him. Hahaha."
All he said was the truth.
"And please let us not talk about that. I don't want to make Lily uncomfortable with this kind of question."
'It bothers me too.' He added in his mind. 'It's so uncomfortable to be asked that constantly. A few times is fine, but when they bring it up every now and then, it becomes suffocating and boring.'
Humans were always curious about other people's relationships. It was normal. But he wanted to keep that part of his life private.
"I will skip similar questions and will only answer the ones related to streaming. I know you guys are curious, but there is nothing between us more than friends."
— Understandable.
— Yeah, let him enjoy it in private!
— We know. We were just joking!
— Friends, huh? More like friends you wanted to… Let's not continue
— Keke, so he's still maidenless
— Next question!
"Good idea. Let's move on to the next question."
Pressing next, he read the second question for the chat.
[Q2: Will you play ranked matchmaking in Midnight Heist? There will be a competition soon for the Tier 2 players.]
"Midnight Heist competition?" He asked in confusion when he read the question. He didn't know about it. "Can someone explain it to me? Or send a link to the competition page."
— Cough, let me explain it to you! It's an event held to celebrate Midnight Heist's 2nd anniversary. They will put Tier 2 and Tier 1 players. Ah, Tier is something that shows your skill level, you can increase your Tier from matchmaking, from 5 to 1… Guys, continue! This freaking word limi
— Sure, let me explain!
— lol word limits
— Continuing! The players will be put in different teams to compete in the online competition. Each win will award them 1 point, and a loss will give them -1 point. The competition pushes your teamwork with strangers so it will be fair! WORDS LIMIT!!!!
— lolol RIP
— The reward for the participants will be a limited costume in Midnight Heist, and the one who accumulates the highest point in 3 days will get a monetary award.
"MONEY!" He shouted when he read the word monetary.
His current monetary situation wasn't great. After everything, including the rewards he needed to give the winners, his money would only be around 7 grand. And with that, he needed to pay for gym membership next month, electricity, and other stuff.
Besides, having a goal in streaming was nice. It could make his livestream more exciting and give the viewers something to look forward to, just like the time when he played Knight's Journey.
'I can boost my views again if I win this competition. And… I hope the system gives me another quest related to this.'
"Where can I see this competition? Is it posted on the Midnight Heist's website?"
— The information is posted on the official website! The competition starts on 15th May, and every Tier 1 and Tier 2 player can join!
— Breeze, just give up on this one. Getting to Tier 2 is impossible, with only 3 weeks left
— I don't think that he will be able to get to Tier 2 with his playtime
— Your opponents will be veterans who know tips and tricks to find thieves. It will be hard
— Don't listen to them, just do it!
What the chat said wasn't wrong. They were concerned if he tried to join and bite more than he could chew.
Unlike Knight's Journey and V-Shelter, Midnight Heist was a game that also used strategy and knowledge to win.
How the NPCs moved. What the NPC would do next. How they acted in a certain situation.
The veterans in Tier 1… No, even those in Tier 2 usually knew and remembered such details. Fooling such a professional as someone who only had less than 100 hours of gameplay would be impossible.
Hard? Obviously. Maybe his chance to win would only be 1%.
However… That wouldn't stop him.
"I don't know if I don't try. For now, my aim is to reach Tier 2 before 15th May and join that tournament."
'I also have 2 C-Grade nutritional supplements. Those will greatly boost my playing time, so I can grind the ranked match longer than usual.' He thought, stroking his chin.
'I guess it's time to destroy my body, I guess. It's a shame I don't have that unlimited stamina that the system once gave me. But no use crying over it.'
Facing a hard challenge only made him motivated. It might be impossible to fool and win against veteran gamers who spent all their time to be good at games. But Max could also learn. There was nothing impossible in this world.
"I will check the details later. Let's move to the third question!"
— Hahaha, you're spirited
— True, nothing is impossible. Just try
— No one know the end result without trying
— IMPOSSIBLE is an IMPOSSIBLE word in Breeze's dictionary.
— For someone who can run in the wall… Well, nothing is impossible, I guess
— Wise words! Surprise those cheeky gamers and show a streamer's spirit!
[Q3: What game will you play next?]
"Based on my current goal, maybe I will grind the Midnight Heist ranked match for a while. Please bear with me!"
[Q4: Will you explain how you feel after knowing BearGuy0G's account got terminated?]
"Ah, about this. I actually don't know much, as I wrote in my Strike post. What I know is that Biozone Entertainment and a few of my friends helped me. Punch probably found out his fake news and terminated him after that."
In short, he had no comments. Everyone knew that this friend was probably either StoneSword or Flexy, but they didn't mention it as they were satisfied with his answer.
Biozone Entertainment could also be the biggest factor in this problem, as BearGuy0G essentially put dirt on their reputation by saying that they were unfair.
Having this kind of result was already expected when he didn't know who he shouldn't touch or what kind of thing he shouldn't mention.
The question became more random as it continued on until the last. Even the last question was so strange that Max couldn't help but laugh.
[Q32: What did you do to be handsome?! Tell me the way besides plastic surgery and genes!]
"Hehe."
A mocking laugh escaped his mouth. He couldn't expect he would get this question. Actually, he had already prepared a perfect answer. This was something he wanted to say to his viewers.
"Maybe get reincarnated or transmigrated into a different body. Only then will you be able to get handsome!"
— Reincarnated lol
— In short, there is no chance!
— Why did you answer with typical web novel tropes?! It's just too much! Please spare me
— Poor boy can't get handsome in his life
— Transmigrated? Am I watching a novel reading stream now?
Inside, Max wanted to tell them that the chance to get reincarnated or transmigrated might be higher than they thought. As proof, he was currently here.
'Not that I will ever mention it to them.' He thought and ended the stream after saying goodbye.
