Chương 29: Chapter 29 – Mistake or Opportunity? [2]

Flexy always streamed from 1st PoV mode to add realism and self-insert experience, so no one knew how he died. The stream also started when he was inside, so no one knew whether Flexy was invited or was the one who invited the other party.

The only one who knew the details of how he died to the barbarian was Max, who actually played with him.

[Ding!]

Just a few seconds after he replied to the thread, he received a private message from someone. Max curiously looked at it, and his grin widened after he read the sender and the content.

[Flexy: Hey! That was cool, dude! So you're Breeze. I saw your stream before. Good content! I didn't know you were in that gym and actually invited me to play, hahaha. I should've exited my capsule and greeted you immediately, but I was still livestreaming at that time.]

Flexy actually privately messaged him instead of replying to his thread.

[Breeze: Thanks! Please don't mind that, I actually left immediately after that. Hahaha, I am flattered that a big streamer like you watched me!]

[Flexy: Nonono, you're really good! I am curious how you can find that path in co-op. Say, can you teach me how to do that and the wall run? Of course, that's only if you don't mind. We can stream together if you like it. Haha, I am not boasting, but that will probably get you some viewers!]

Reading the latest message, Max's hands stopped midair just above the hologram keyboard.

'Stream together?' He thought as his body trembled slightly in happiness. 'Of course, I don't mind! Who would refuse such an opportunity!'

Bad things were always accompanied by good things. Max could also use this chance to teach his viewers about wall run.

'Just streaming Knight's Journey story will be boring. This is the perfect content I need before continuing the main story.'

As he thought that, he typed the reply to Flexy.

[Breeze: I don't mind. Rather, I am happy to!]

[Flexy: Great! Let's meet in the Knighted Lobby in an hour. You're streaming at that time, right?]

[Breeze: Yes.]

[Flexy: It's decided then. See you around! I will also add you as a friend now. You will be able to see my nickname that way.]

[Breeze: Alright. See you around.]

A notification of a friend request popped up just after Max sent his last reply. It was from Flexy.

He immediately accepted it and chuckled in a low voice, trying his best not to laugh too loud.

'Hahaha! Screw the exposed secret. Thanks to that, I have a partner for a co-op and a collaboration with a big streamer. Besides… I still have another path I didn't show other people. That will be my real ace.'

Standing up, Max went to where he should meet with Flexy later. The Knighted Lobby was vast, expanding more than 5 KM in a rectangular shape. Meeting with each other by coincidence in this space was slim.

That was why Flexy made sure to leave a meeting place after he sent a friend request. Both agreed to meet at the fountain, which was easy to find and in the middle of the Lobby.

Max walked leisurely and wasn't in a hurry.

He even stopped at a bar to get a drink. Even though he couldn't get full of food inside the VR, at least he could taste it, although diluted. This was one of the reasons why fat people couldn't really be found in real life. They were satisfied by tasting food in VR.

'The beers taste like water. It's not that good, but at least I now know how it tastes.'

The taste wasn't like what he expected, and he spat the diluted beer on the ground, throwing the paper cup into the trash—another strange thing in the Lobby. Even when the theme was medieval, advanced technology was used to serve the players.

When Max arrived at the fountain, he looked around curiously. A large clearing with many benches placed around invited many people. This place became a hub to meet other people and chat together.

People dressed like mercenaries or knights stood around and held a paper cup in their hands. It looked funny. If they had a wooden mug instead, the scenery would be perfect.

As Max was enjoying the new scenery, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

"Breeze?"

He looked around cautiously and looked at the other party. A young man with an eccentric appearance, bright orange hair, and a wide smile stood there wearing full armor. His character's appearance was the exact copy of his real life.

Words 'Flexy' written in glowing letters hovering above his head. At that moment, Max realized who that person was.

"Flexy?"

"Hahaha! That's right! One and only."

Flexy raised his thumb and flashed an exaggerated smile. His energy made Max smile bitterly.

"Still…" The orange-haired streamer looked at Max from toe to head. "You wore a simple avatar, huh? Black pants and a black long-sleeved shirt… Well, you look handsome, so I don't think that will be a problem. Alright, we can start the stream here. How about it?"

"Here?" Max asked, looking a bit reluctant.

Just like Flexy, Max's avatar was the scan of his real life. He didn't change anything, and he looked so skinny.

In fact, he planned to do a scan again a day before the program started so his avatar would look fresh. He was confident in fixing his body with the B-grade supplement and the workout he did.

Looking at Max's face, Flexy immediately noticed something.

"Ah, you didn't do a face reveal yet, right? Sorry, I forgot about that!" He raised his hand and smiled apologetically. "We can start the stream inside the game then. You can wait for me while I do the intro here. Do you mind if we do it like that?"

"Ah."

Max was pulled out of his thoughts and nodded. He smiled at Flexy's consideration and how he changed things fast when he noticed that revealing his face was inconvenient for now.

"That will be the best, thanks. I need to do an intro and introduce the content to my viewers. I hadn't told them that I would stream co-op for today."

"Great. Let's talk about the details, then! But for now, let's move to a quieter place. I stick out like a thumb, hahaha."

"Alright."

Both of them moved to a tavern near the fountain and sat on the corner. Flexy explained the plan and what he had in mind to make the stream exciting. The main point was Max showcasing his wall run and axe spin three-sixty.

Max readily agreed to the plan. He thought that would be the best in this guerrilla collaboration. Then, he dived into the game first.
