I am Smart

Chapter 25




ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

But this is a bit difficult. Is it okay to do it alone? If you’re not good with computers, it’s better to get remote control.

―――

Remote control? No, I don’t think I need that much.

“Don’t worry. I know a lot about computers.”

Until recently, I didn’t know much, but I picked up some skills while learning how to install VR devices, games, and various other things.

I simply haven’t learned up until now, not that I couldn’t. There’s no way I can’t handle this field.

―――

Hmm…

Uh…

Hmm

Yes

Hmm

That’s not the image I had.

―――

“…You acknowledged me as a High-Ability Person, didn’t you?”

―――

Haha

Oh right

You did call me a High-Ability Person.

Hahahahahahahaha

You’re right!

I forgot, ㅇㅇ.

―――

Thinking about it, this could be an opportunity.

If I finish the setup quickly here, I can strengthen my claim that I’m smart.

“Please tell me in chat first. I’ll follow your instructions.”

* *

“Oh, this? Yes. Then if I click this and run it… It didn’t work?”

Even after running Fiore, the graphics were the same.

I did exactly what the viewers told me to do?

―――

No, not that file.

Not that, below.

No, no, below!

Down!

Down!

ㅠㅠ

No!

I said below, not that!

―――

Then, the chat window surged with messages.

“Hmm…”

I felt a slight headache coming. This was a bit difficult—no, it was needlessly complicated.

“This one is fine, now I just need to go in, right?”

―――

Wow

Wow

Ooooo

Try pressing that.

―――

“Okay. Click and run… It didn’t apply.”

―――

No, Si-hyun ^^

Hahahahahahahhahahaha

Hahahahahahahhahahaha

I’m so frustrated I can’t help but laugh.

You were supposed to go into the folder after clicking it!

Hahaha, fml

Honestly, that’s adorable.

―――

“Hmm… Ah. I think I got it.”

It seems I’ve gotten the hang of it while doing it. Now that I remember the next steps, let’s focus and do this alone.

* *

“…… Um.”

Moon Si-hyun sat in silence. It had already been 10 minutes since she had said nothing.

Only the sound of her clothes brushing in the air filled the broadcast.

―――

Please look at the chat window, Si-hyun.

No, not there!

Si-hyun, I seriously don’t know what to do!

I’m barely holding on, Si-hyun!

Look at the chat!

Is she doing this on purpose? (I really don’t know) Is she doing this on purpose? (I really don’t know) Is she doing this on purpose? (I really don’t know) Is she doing this on purpose? (I really don’t know)

Si-hyun, ㅠㅠ

???: Oh, did you get it??

???: Oh, did you get it??

???: Oh, did you get it??

???: Oh, did you get it??

???: Oh, did you get it??

???: Oh, did you get it??

―――

* *

And several tens of minutes later.

Moon Si-hyun had really come nearly all the way without help.

She had failed many times and challenged again and again until she painfully reached the last step.

And at last, she had indeed taken one small step forward. Compared to other tasks, this one was relatively simple.

―――

Wow

Wow

ㅠㅠㅠ Finally…

Wow

High-Ability Person acknowledged.

Finally.

You do have some perseverance.

High-Ability Person.

High-Ability Person.

Wow, you really made it to the end.

I love you.

Our perseverance for watching it for tens of minutes is even more legendary.

Still, I saw it all, lol.

―――

But as the end came into sight, everyone shook off the hatred they had built up and exchanged congratulations with the host.

“Next, if I… run this… Huh? It’s not working again? Did I miss something?”

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

No, this is really the last step. Click the second folder and change the number to ’50’.

―――

“What? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear that. Um… Looks like I missed something. Well, it can’t be helped.”

After saying that, Moon Si-hyun reset the settings again. Then all the settings returned to their original state.

It meant starting over from the beginning.

―――

No, f***.

You jerk.

Ah, lol.

Why do you have to reset after getting this far?

Ah, f***ing hell, seriously.

Stop thinking and type in the chat, you f***ing idiot. High-Ability Person is f***ing nonsense; I swear I want to shake you really hard!

Sigh…

You jerk.

Oh…

Hahaha

Oh…

The mask has come off… Just write it again, you freak!

Huh…

These guys really have no manager, lol.

That’s why it’s funny, but don’t say too much.

Hahahaha

Si-hyun, hold on!

Media management!

Wow…

Oh…

You insane b****!

You insane b****!

Si-hyun, hold on!

Dislike (Oh)

Let’s be nice to our High-Ability Person, everyone.

―――

“I’m not a fool, I’m a High-Ability Person,” has donated 1,000 won.

Be careful; this is truly what a top student at Korea’s flagship university would do. This mess is just for getting donations; don’t sponsor her at all.

―――

Oh, that’s it, lol.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

Don’t freak out, this is genuinely a problem with intelligence itself.

Even if you throw in 10,000 won, she won’t listen.

Maybe she can just focus, and multitasking is not working out.

I don’t know, just keep going f***ing hell, lol.

―――

* *

In a short time, she found and solved the problem.

“Got it. I just hadn’t done the last one.”

When Fiore ran, the graphics that greeted me were much better than the previous broadcast. It felt like my eyesight had improved significantly.

This should make it easier for the viewers to watch, right?

Thinking this, I was intoxicated with a bit of achievement. Given the little help, this speed is really quite fast.

“Everyone, what do you think? I did it all by myself, right?”

Feeling good, I looked at the chat window, expecting commotion like “Wow!” and “Awesome!”.

―――

Shut up.

Si-hyun, I really can’t shield this one.

Yeah… you really did it alone.

Damn.

Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher! Sex! Teacher!

This was legendary for real.

(Ahegao ASCII art)

Si-hyun, please choke me just once! Si-hyun, please choke me just once! Si-hyun, please choke me just once!

(Dickman ASCII art)

By the way, when you shake your head, doesn’t it make a click sound?

―――

“……?”

I was taken aback by the chat that was completely different from my expectation. The chat was filled with spam and complaints about me.

“Wasn’t that quick? It felt like it took about 10 minutes.”

―――

What the f*** are you talking about?

It took 30 minutes, you know?

No matter how hard it is, is that really 30 minutes? What the f***!

You beast!

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

I wanted to be seen as a cute good kid after hearing that I’m cute… but Si-hyun is making me unable to hold back my curses.

―――

“What?”

Has 30 minutes really passed? I looked at the clock.

…… It had really been 30 minutes.

It seems a lot of frustration had built up, with the chat window starting to explode again.

…… Gradually, my face began to heat up.

“…… I’m actually smart, you know. It’s just that the settings were unnecessarily complicated.”

―――

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Hahahahahaha

No, you’re just a f***ing idiot.

Moonhahahahahaha

This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve heard all year.

Hahahahahaha

It’s true that it’s unnecessarily complicated, but it’s also true you aren’t bright, ㅇㅇ.

Hahahaha, Hahahaha, oh my god.

―――

RightOnTheMoney has donated 1,000 won.

Wow, how long has it been since the host started broadcasting? You’ve really become a pro now; even your jokes are good, lol.

―――

For real, lol.

Hahahahahaha

Oh, that was a joke?

I didn’t even know that, lol.

I’m sorry, I thought you were a High-Ability Person but I didn’t know…

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

Honestly, it’s just brain muscle; I’m just trying to make these viewers laugh, lol.

―――

I agree.

Oh wow!

Hahaha

I can finally say it.

―――

“……”

You brainless idiot, you dumbass, I want to choke you, there’s no such thing as brain power.

Those kinds of chats showed no signs of stopping.

In an instant, my fingers went to the kick button, then I shook my head. I can’t let emotions drown out my reason. This kind of control isn’t desirable.

Any level of excessive control can lead to negative situations.

I need to gain support in a moderate way to prevent trouble.

And what’s needed to gain support is.

Proof that I’m smart, witnesses to certify that proof, and onlookers.

I opened my mouth that had been shut.

“Everyone, do you really think I’m not smart?”

* *

―――

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I’m serious.

Yes.

You really are a f***ing idiot; I’ll guarantee that.

―――

As if they had been waiting for me to ask, the viewers’ chat erupted once more.

They didn’t hate Moon Si-hyun, but neither could they hold back their habitual insults up to now.

In fact, the choice of words had been significantly toned down compared to their past affection.

“……”

For a moment, there was silence in the broadcast. Then she opened her mouth.

“Then I guess I should prove my intelligence, right?”

―――

Yes.

What kind of proof? Your brain is already cooked!

Yes.

What do you intend to prove? lol.

Are you going to bring out your student ID from Korea University or something?

―――

Just as expected, Moon Si-hyun’s black screen slid aside. And a familiar screen came into view.

“Please come in.”

And what appeared was a custom-made 1v1 room.

* *

―――

Hahahaha

You’re being ridiculous, you f***ing idiot.

What does 1v1 have to do with intelligence?

You’re rising to the rank of Fighter!

This is a bit much;

―――

The viewers were vehemently against this.

It wasn’t incorrect. A 1v1 could mean a bit of physicality, as well.

Of course, this was well within my expected range.

“I think a Fighter character has brainpower. Making judgments about parries, predicting when enemy skills will come, using ultimate moves in the Sky Realm, etc…”

―――

Here we go again.

Haha.

That’s nonsense.

That just means everything has some level of intelligence involved.

―――

“But if you all say that, I can’t help it. Then what do you think is an intelligent character?”

―――

A Hunter!

A Hunter!

A Wizard!

A Hunter!

Astrologist!

Law!

Nyan!

Nyan!

It’s a Wizard.

You need to have an intelligent mind to play a Hunter!

A Hunter!

―――

“Then a Hunter. I’ll take that one. The condition to finish is to break the enemy’s stone tower.”

―――

?

??

That’s absurd, lol.

Really?

With your brain, there’s no way you can beat a Hunter’s stone tower.

?

Haha, that’s a fact, and now you’re acting up!

* *

―――

Fiore minor gallery

―――

– How about starting Hunter for newbies?

It looks cool and seems fun.

– That’s a scam.

– That’s a scam.

– Um, thanks.

What’s that? They say you can’t play below that rank.

If you don’t know how to operate Fiore, definitely don’t play it.

It’s not an exaggeration; I recommend a Fighter for beginners.

You can’t pull off efficiency by just shooting.

―――

The Hunter used as a dealer in the Current Realm is a more unique class.

Their basic stats like health and attack power are low, but over time, they become stronger by stacking their basic sustained effect, ‘Hunting.’

The way to stack that ‘Hunting’ isn’t through direct combat but requires psychological warfare through predicting where enemies will appear over time.

Because of that characteristic, Hunters require significantly more experience and strategic wit than strength.

―――

Hahahaha

This looks fun as hell.

You’d regret this hard.

―――

Those who knew that welcomed her words.

“Please say your nickname. I’ll randomly invite one person.”

I randomly chose and invited.

What came in was a user in the lower diamond tier.

―――

MimiMinJun: Hey.

―――

Oh!

If he’s lower diamond, that’s fine.

This balance doesn’t match at all.

The host wouldn’t be able to win against a Hunter of just a one-tier difference.

Is the day finally coming when I can call physicality brainpower?

The game began.

* *

10 minutes passed.

The stone tower was destroyed.

“…… Phew, that wasn’t easy.”

Moon Si-hyun pretended to wipe sweat and then spoke.

―――

MimiMinJun (Current Realm/Wizard): No way!

MimiMinJun (Current Realm/Wizard): What the f***!

MimiMinJun (Current Realm/Wizard): You’re freaking out for real.

―――

“That was a pretty physically capable opponent, but I barely won with my extraordinary intelligence.”

―――

She’s insane!

What the f***!

OMG!

Although there was a tier difference, this is just ridiculous.

I don’t know how you did that, seriously, lol.

Moon Si-hyun’s KDA was 15/0/0.

“Since I won as a brainy character, now you acknowledge that I’m intelligent, right?”
