Chapter 136 : Minor Constraints
Chapter 136: Minor Constraints
“Hello, everyone!”
“Jeongha~ Nice to see you!”
-Hi hi
-Flew over like a plane as soon as the notification popped up
-Finally, disciple time
-The twins have been flying high lately O.O

[Looking forward to what tips we’ll learn today, upvote! lololol]
Despite being a type of derivative content, ‘Hack Disciple’ content was so popular that it instantly attracted over ten thousand viewers upon starting. The average viewer count sometimes reached tens of thousands.
Considering derivative content typically has fewer viewers than the main content, and in the worst case, can even siphon viewers from the main content, this was the best possible outcome.
It meant that just as PVE-loving users enjoyed ‘Hack Tour’ content, PVP-loving users enjoyed ‘Hack Disciple’ content.
Essentially, he had captured the hearts of everyone enjoying ‘Reverse Planet’.
‘LifeAchievementMaster’ has donated ‘1000 won’!
[Watched Hack Disciple and recently became a Master myself lol]
“Oh, LifeAchievementMaster! Congratulations! You’ve renewed your life achievement!”
“Congratulations!”
-Life achievement renewal, he says lolololol
-Hmm… is that enough…
-If I keep watching, I’ll become a Challenger too
-??? : Master is a life achievement? Haha
“Hey! No bad words!”
In truth, as a PVP user, it was hard to dislike ‘Hack Disciple’ content.
How could one dislike it when a skilled player, respected even by active world-class pro players, generously shared their knowledge?
Especially since Baek Woohyun was the undisputed industry top in using supernatural abilities without correction, no one could deny that.
To the point where there were even rumors that several pro players were watching with interest.
Anyway, the important point was one.
The fact that ‘Hack Disciple’ content enjoyed popularity no less than ‘Hack Tour’ content.
If the Otherworld Lord raid hadn’t garnered massive attention by being revealed through ‘Hack Tour’ content, perhaps the popularity of the two contents might have been reversed.
Of course, even so, Baek Woohyun would have proceeded with ‘Hack Tour’ content without a care.
“Hello. Nice to see you.”
-Oh, he’s just showing up openly now
-Did he take off the mask since his face was revealed anyway?
-Goddamn handsome
-Full of believability
The viewers got noisy seeing Baek Woohyun briefly show his face and greet them, but it was truly only for a moment.
It wasn’t even the first reveal, and Baek Woohyun, who had revealed his face, acted as if it was no big deal, which also contributed.
As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap; there’s a limit to viewers making noise unilaterally.
“”Greetings, Master!””
-Their voices are so loud lol
-Their posture is even more respectful than last time? lol
-Thanks to him, their tier shot up so much, I’d do the same
-At this rate, they’ll prostrate themselves completely O.O
“I’ve been well. How about the two of you?”
“We’ve been very well!””It was the best!”
Those who benefited the most from ‘Hack Disciple’ content, the Beau-tiful Twins, bowed towards Baek Woohyun as soon as they appeared.
It was an attack-level bow, seemingly going beyond 90 degrees to 120. Even the so-called ‘folder bow’ wouldn’t match this.
It was a display of the respect they held for Baek Woohyun.
But this wasn’t particularly strange.
With viewer counts not being very high before, they had encountered a turning point in their broadcasting lives thanks to Baek Woohyun, making him a veritable benefactor in that regard.
Even if it wasn’t them, anyone who received such a favor would likely act similarly.
‘Must not be expelled!”Let’s work hard!’
The Beau-tiful Twins were already prepared to stick close to Baek Woohyun and enjoy the sweet trickle-down effect that came from it.
Of course, no one could call them opportunists. After all, one needs the ability to seize opportunities.
They had proven their talent by righteously breaking through the fierce competition of the audition. They had proven they deserved to receive the trickle-down effect.
Moreover, Baek Woohyun himself had intended to teach the Beau-tiful Twins and make them his assistants from the start, so it was more correct to see it as mutual assistance.
“Now then. Shall we start?”
-At last!
-Finally starting
-Seated and ready
After a brief exchange of greetings.
Baek Woohyun looked at the Beau-tiful Twins with a faint smile.
The twins, having learned fear through the last ‘Hack Disciple’ content, unconsciously flinched before his gaze.
“Today, unlike last time, I’ve prepared a very interesting teaching method.”
“Interesting…””…teaching method?”
-Fun = I have fun
-The twins look super anxious lololol
-I’d probably be the same O.O
-What is he planning to do?;
“There’s no need to be so tense. It’s just a light practical training.”
However, the Beau-tiful Twins’ tension didn’t ease even with Baek Woohyun’s words that it was nothing.
Rather, when the word ‘practical training’ popped out, they subtly distanced themselves from Baek Woohyun and even took a stance as if ready to draw their swords if needed.
It was an attitude as if fearing he would suddenly declare, “It’s training by fighting me!” and charge at them.
“Ahaha! I can guess what you’re thinking, but that’s not it. Don’t worry.”
“Ah.””Oh my.”
-‘Ah, oh my’ what lololol
-Openly preparing to fight lolololol
-But honestly, when he said practical training, I also thought Hackphysical would immediately charge with a sword
-Tbh lol
“I do hold the theory that skills grow quickly in extreme situations… But I also know that’s only true when one can overcome them. I won’t push recklessly.”
Only after Baek Woohyun waved his hands in denial did the Beau-tiful Twins relax and close the distance again.
It seemed they judged that he wouldn’t attack after denying it so strongly.
As a master, that would be too shameful an act.
‘…As expected, me becoming the direct target for practical training is something for later.’
However, if the Beau-tiful Twins knew Baek Woohyun’s current thoughts, they definitely wouldn’t have relaxed as they did now.
The fact that a moment would come when they must struggle to survive under Baek Woohyun’s hand, though not immediately, would be despairing.
The only silver lining was that unlike ‘over there’, in ‘Reverse Planet’, there is no pain, and you can revive even if you die.
Whether they would readily accept death is unknown, but anyway.
“So, the practical training…””Is it in PVP?”
-Let’s go PVP
-Snipers will swarm like crazy
-Yeah~ You have to get through that to be a real disciple~
-The guy above is definitely a stream sniper, tsk tsk
The Beau-tiful Twins’ question was extremely valid.
Even in similar master-disciple content, most filled the practical training part by proceeding in ‘Survival’ mode and giving teachings.
Snipers would undoubtedly swarm, but Baek Woohyun could handle that appropriately.
“No.”
But this time too, Baek Woohyun shook his head.
Previously, he planned to go on a ‘Survival’ mode outing as they thought, but the situation has changed a lot now.
With the Otherworld Lord raid revealed, the most urgent task was to elevate the Beau-tiful Twins’ PVE abilities.
“This outing, we’re going to a Reverse World.”
-Ah, boring -_-
-Gotta prepare for the raid
-The guy saying boring is a stream sniper, I bet
-Can’t we just do PVP?

[The raid is soon, what PVP?;]
The viewers’ reactions to the news of conducting practical training in a Reverse World, i.e., PVE, were split.
It was a clash between the PVE faction, who argued for training by clearing Reverse Worlds in preparation for the Otherworld Lord raid, and the PVP faction, who wanted tips like before in ‘Survival’ mode.
Situationally, the former was correct, but that didn’t mean the latter was saying anything wrong. Either way, it was just a matter of choice.
-Why not have Hackphysical beat them up like before?
-I can hear the twins crying lololol, let’s do it now.
-Ugh tsk tsk, it’s Hackphysical training, do you think it’ll just end with a normal Reverse World clear?
-Tbh lol, something more is obviously coming.
“Wait, everyone! This Reverse World practical training is different from ordinary PVE practical training!”
Jeong Nayeon intervened just as the dispute between the PVE and PVP factions was about to intensify.
“How is it different?”
“It’s the invading entities we’ll face! I heard separately from Woohyun, the Reverse World we’re going to this time is the one at Sangbong Spring in northern Gwanaksan!”
-What comes out there?
-Ah~ There! If it’s there, I approve~
-As expected, Hackphysical has a plan for everything.
-So what comes out in the Sangbong Spring Reverse World, you jerks!!
Jeong Nayeon answered Cha Seongcheol’s question and guided the viewers’ interest.
She stirred anticipation by revealing it wasn’t just a simple practical training of clearing a Reverse World, but that something more was involved.
As she hoped, the viewers became interested in what might be in the Gwanaksan Reverse World.
“Werewolves, that is, invading entities classified as humanoid, come out in the Sangbong Spring Reverse World.”
“Ah, I see. Since half-humanoid invading entities appear, it’s like a mix of PVE and PVP.”
“That’s it! There will be ability differences, but we can just impose appropriate constraints for that.”
-If it’s werewolves, that’s perfect.
-They’re practically the same as close-combat build users.
-Oh, really? First time hearing that.
-More people don’t know than you think lol.
“There’s one more thing I heard, but I’ll save that for later fun!”
Having thus steered public opinion, the location for the ‘Hack Disciple’ content easily changed from the training ground to the Gwanaksan Reverse World.
In truth, the conclusion was practically decided the moment the viewers were persuaded. Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol couldn’t possibly oppose Baek Woohyun’s suggestion.
The Beau-tiful Twins? How dare a disciple object to what the master intends to do! As the saying goes, don’t even step on the master’s shadow.
“First, let’s have a light fight.”
“Yes!””Understood!”
-Let’s see what you’ve got
-But can all members enter?
-Won’t the difficulty go up due to 5-party recognition?
-Yeah, it goes up.
As the viewers said, this was a situation more difficult than a typical 2-party Reverse World, but the Beau-tiful Twins stepping forward showed no hesitation.
If it were a Reverse World used for max-level farming, that would be one thing, but they judged that even if the difficulty increased in a Reverse World treated as a normal dungeon, it would be manageable.
Hadn’t they cleared all the story to reach max level, completed their builds, and neatly finished farming for equipment?
If they were at a level to struggle in a normal Reverse World after finishing all their growth, they wouldn’t have become Baek Woohyun’s disciples in the first place.
Grr!
Slice!
“Ahaha!””Dead!”
-Stress relieving, I see lol
-Am I the only one thinking this is their last moment of fun?
-Master is watching.
-“Extreme situation” pending.
Indeed, the Beau-tiful Twins sliced through the three werewolves that first charged in an instant. It was a clean victory without taking any damage.
Since it was a result everyone expected, there wasn’t even much admiration. Even Baek Woohyun, who had instructed them to fight once, wore an expression of having expected as much.
He, who had been pondering something for a moment, spoke.
“Hmm. I’ve confirmed the difference. A few minor constraints will be needed.”
“What should we do?””We’ll follow immediately!”
Perhaps because they confirmed the werewolves weren’t very threatening?
The Beau-tiful Twins didn’t flinch even at Baek Woohyun’s words about needing constraints. They exuded confidence that they could handle anything.
His word choice was ‘minor constraints’, so it seemed easy.
“First, let’s remove all equipment. The build can stay as is. What’s the correction percentage now?”
“It’s 67% now!””We lowered it a lot compared to before!”
“Excellent. Then, let’s lower it by another 17% from there.”
“…Huh?”
-Immediately slapping on minus 17% lololol
-67% is already low, but 50%? lolololol
-MINOR? CONSTRAINTS?
-It was easy, right? Let me make it harder for you ^^
