I Became the Eldest Daughter of 10 Siblings

The concept is like this:
A once-top pro gamer starts from the bottom of the Battle.net rankings and gradually climbs up to challenge for the Golden Mouse.
In other words, Kang Yohan’s second puberty.

Kang Yohan’s star power is unmatched. He appears on public TV and is called the father of e-sports, a monster-class player.
Moreover, his fan cafe “Fly, Shuttle” has a whopping 700,000 members. And I was one of them.
A player with greater popularity than most idols or actors.
There’s no more thrilling story than me training and leading such a player to victory.

If I had my way, I’d like to train him by feeding him only steamed dumplings, like in Oldboy.
But that would be too much, right?

When I conveyed my thoughts to Kang Yohan, a favorable response came back.
[Kang Yohan: I’ll do anything]
[Kang Yohan: Because I trust you, Yujin-nim^^]
Good. That’s settled.

I gathered my siblings in the living room.
I brought up the topic of appearing on that Kim Hwachang had proposed.

“We’re going to be on TV?”
“Wow, I’m in.”
“If unnie likes it, I agree.”
“Ah, I’ve gained weight recently.”
“Bullshit. You’re always fat.”

Okay. Everyone’s reaction is positive.
Now it’s time to unveil the gift bundle for the kids.

“Number 2, Han Sejun. Step forward.”
“Yes, my beloved noona!”
I handed him what he wanted.
A signed keyboard from Jung Suhyuk and Hyun Junho that I got by asking Hyun Junho. And one million won in cash.

“As expected, noona is the best!”
“With that mindset, try studying hard for once.”
“Ah, it’s already too late for me.”
As soon as studying is mentioned, he waves his hands and runs away.

“Next. Number 3, Han Sejin.”
“Yes!”
Han Sejin, whose hair was still wet as if she had just showered, came forward.
“It’s the iPhone 16, right?”
I handed her an envelope containing the new model phone.
“Awesome! You bought me the Pro version, not just the regular one?”
“Just try breaking it somewhere.”
“Ah, don’t worry. I’ll cherish it more than myself, like a sacred relic. Thank you so much, unnie!”
There’s no need to go that far.

“Next. Number 4, Han Si-eun.”
“Yeah.”
“I bought the most expensive one, you know.”
I pushed the packaged box with effort.
Putting my hands on my hips, I said,
“You play Galaxy War, right? I bought you the most expensive one so you can play well.”
“…Unnie.”
Han Si-eun clasped her hands together, unable to hide the sparkle in her eyes.
“I’ll really work hard. I might even grow to be better than you, unnie.”
…That would be difficult.

I gave 500,000 won to number 5 Han Suho and a Rickenbacker guitar to number 6 Han Sumin.
“Yes! I’m going to buy all the webtoons with this.”
“Hehe, finally I’m a rock star too.”

I had to give gifts to our youngest munchkins too, but they’re in deep sleep, so that’s for next time.

Leaving behind the countless thank-yous from my siblings, I picked up my phone to take care of the last remaining task.

[Lilme]
[010-5539-****]

I pressed the call button. The ringtone already sounds crazy.
ㅡ好き好き大好き 愛してるって言わなきゃ殺す！
I don’t know what it means, and I don’t want to know. The Japanese song ringtone cut off abruptly.
Even though it was 8 PM, I heard a groggy voice as if she had just woken up.

-Hello.
“Is this Lilme-nim?”
A moment of silence. Then immediately, a burst of curses.
-…Ah, shit. Are you a fan?
Her personality showed from the first word.

“No. I’m Moon Jaehyun-ssi’s noona.”
-Moon Jaehyun? Editor number 1? So what?
“Our Jaehyun seems to need to stop working after this week.”
-Suddenly talking nonsense. He was whining about wanting to quit, and now he got his noona to call? So what?
“He’s busy with his studies, and he wants to edit somewhere else.”

Bang!
A dull sound of something breaking was heard through the speaker.
-His studies are not my business, and he’s going to someone else besides me?
“Yes, well… that’s how it turned out, haha.”
I heard a loud sound of something being gnawed on.
From the context, it seems like fingernails.

-Who?
“There’s someone called HaYoo.”
-HaYoo? What kind of nobody is that?
“A Twimer streamer.”
-Pfft, Twimer?
I heard a scornful laugh.
-So who is this nobody?

Feeling like we wouldn’t be able to communicate, I said one last thing before hanging up.
“I’ll be streaming soon, so see for yourself.”

It’s nice to live comfortably. If I had my way, I’d like to stream comfortably without showing my face.
But my dad once said something like this.
Money has legs, and if you don’t catch it, it’ll run far away before you know it.
So I just bit it hard before it could fly away. That’s all.
To protect this precarious family, I need to earn at least 1 billion, no, 1.5 billion won.

With that determination, I turned on the stream.
While perfectly acting as streamer HaYoo.

[New streamer HaYoo^^]
[23,827 viewers]
[HaYoo]
[Followers: 16K]

As expected, the number of viewers had drastically decreased compared to the first broadcast.
But this is still more than enough. I was still visible at the top of the platform.

“Hi. HaYoo is here.”
-Haha
-God-tier newbie ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-Hehe
-Hi
-Let’s go on a tour of the pros
-HaYoo finally crawling out

“I think everyone who’s coming is here, so I’ll tell you. There will be announcements before the end of the stream. There are three: a platoon announcement, a company announcement, and a battalion announcement.”

-Oh
-Gasp
-A woman who does what she says
-Prediction) 10 million won bet with Jung Suhyuk
-You’ve been packing it in for two days lol
-Don’t tell me… retirement…?
-A girl who hasn’t even been to the military talking about platoons and battalions lol

Actually, I think internet broadcasting always needs bait to roll well. And that bait shouldn’t be given easily, like putting candy in a child’s mouth.
Keeping the viewers hooked until right before the end by almost giving it, but not quite.
That’s the quality of a broadcaster.

“Ah, and I’ve hired a manager and editor. Greet each other. Mio-nim, these are the viewers. Viewers, this is Mio-nim.”
I gestured as if arranging a blind date.

[M: Hello, I’m Mio, the manager and editor. Please take care of me]

-?
-What do you mean viewers
-Hi
-Hi
-Show us the contract
-Expecting 1 won per job lol
-What did you get instead of money?
-What’s a man-editor lol
-A nobody making someone both manager and editor…
-Ah lol saying it’s voluntary lol
-Edit properly… Hassan!

“I didn’t bring someone from the streets. This is the founder of the HaYoo minor gallery. And… is it okay to mention someone from another broadcasting platform?”

-Dunno
-Not particularly related

“You all know Lilme-nim, right? The president from the other neighborhood. I know Mio-nim is from there.”

Then the chat was flooded with countless “hmm”s and “gasp”s. Some people spammed “lock” with me.

-Turns out it’s Asia TV
-From there… hmm…
-From the water buffalo
-Get out
-Get lost

“Whoa, we’re going to be eating from the same pot, so let’s not poison each other. First, what we’re going to do today is…”

There’s a saying ‘mouse-shaking’. It means the viewers shaking the streamer like a mouse, but that should never happen.
A streamer is a kind of animal trainer. A person who appropriately uses whip and carrot to adjust and lead the beasts in a precarious safari.
That’s what a streamer is!

“We’re going to play Galaxy War. We’re going to challenge the pros.”

However,
[‘Daddy Bird’ 50,000 won mission!]
[Q&A for 5 minutes]

…If the viewer puts a bill in my mouth instead of a carrot, bite it with an “ang”.
It’s okay because I’m the eldest daughter of ten siblings.

“Wow, Daddy Bird-nim with a 50,000 won mission! I really want to play Galaxy War, but I’ll unavoidably do a 5-minute Q&A.”

-You btch
-Ah
-Ah
-What are you doing lol
-Please play Galaxy War
-“That time” ON
-Recruiting supporters for 10 siblings’ child-rearing expenses lol
-I like it even more lol
-Get rid of the Galaxy War bugs
-Fcking Daddy Bird, read the room;
-Let’s beat up Hyun Junho and perform a ritual

“Everyone, ask HaYoo questions.”

‘ㅇㅇ’ donated 1,000 won!
-How tall are you?

‘ㅇㅇ’ donated 1,000 won!
-What are the age gaps between your siblings?

Questions about me personally and about my siblings piled up neatly. I answered without showing that I didn’t want to answer some of them.

“Oh oh. There are too many questions for HaYoo to read. I’ll unavoidably raise it to 3,000 won.”

-?
-??
-Lololololololol
-I can hear the sound of your brain turning from here
-F*cking money collection lol
-Your calculations are so fast lol
-Child-rearing expenses are lacking, right lol
-Only 2 have come up now

And then,
‘ㅇㅇ’ donated 3,000 won!
-I’m an Insect user, please give me some tips on Hive management ㅠㅠ

“Oho, a constructive Galaxy War question. I like it.”

The Hive was the final colony building for the Insect race. Ultimately, the essence of the question was how to endure the late game.

I said,
“Use Defilers to block the enemy troops as much as possible while gathering gas. And when you have Ulari, you can engage in a big fight.”

Then, the chat went crazy again.
Really in an instant. Very quickly.

-?
-?
-Teacher?

“What? HaYoo’s words are the correct answer and the truth. If you don’t like it, quit Galaxy War.”

-No
-?
-That’s not it lol
-Lolololol Ulari
-Did you really just call Ultras ‘Ulari’?
-After 10 years of Galaxy life, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone call Ultras ‘Ulari’
-This is so funny lolololololol
-Wow I really want to beat you up
-Stop talking bullsh*t lol
-Wow you’ve got your concept down pat lol
-I’m so pissed off
-Sorry but is this a power struggle too?
-Lolololololololololol

Ah.
Right.
Calling Ultralisks ‘Ulari’ was a meme and a joke that would become popular in the future.
I forgot and called it that out of habit.

…Okay, let’s get it together.
A streamer is an animal trainer, an animal trainer!
I can’t let the viewers push me around here.

So,
“Ah, I misspoke. Not Ulari, but Ulri.”
