Greatest Streamer System

[Synchronization Rate is 98.5%]

[Synchronization Rate Worldwide Ranking: 2]

"…"

No one in the waiting area or even Mr. Taka, who stood in front of the monitoring area, said anything. Their eyes glued on the golden numbers floating on top of Max's head.

The two glowing numbers showed his time and his synchronization rate.

"Doctor Ardi…"

After a while, Mr. Taka finally spoke. Everyone's attention turned to him as he looked at the doctor, who prepared to help Max get out of the capsule.

"This is real, right?"

"Based on the data, yes. His vitals are also green, so this record is valid."

"Sick…!"

A grin broke into Mr. Taka's smile afterward.

"Holy…! Breeze just broke a record! And his synchronization rate… What the heck! He wasn't lying, hahaha!" Flexy shouted loudly as he jumped from his chair. He broke into a run toward Mr. Taka and Doctor Ardi without caring about the others.

At that moment, the VR Capsule was opened, and Max exhaled a sigh. His body was covered in sweat, just like usual, even though there was a better cooling system in the capsule he used.

When he opened his eyes again, he almost jumped in surprise as what he saw the first thing was two men's faces with a disgusting grin.

"Hehehe, congratulations, my friend!" Flexy exclaimed energetically.

"Congratulations on breaking the record, Mr. Breeze. I was quite surprised. Pleasantly!" Mr. Taka added with a small laugh.

Looking at their gleeful expression, Max couldn't help but chuckle.

"Thank you. But may I get a towel? My body is really drenched from concentrating too much."

"Ah, apologies. Towel…" Mr. Taka looked around, searching for a towel.

"Here is the towel."

Fortunately, Doctor Ardi was prepared. He handed the towel to Max with a soft smile.

"Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome."

Both of them nodded at each other, and Max got out of the capsule. Flexy kept bothering him as he walked back to the waiting area. Everyone was looking at him, congratulating him on his new record.

A jealous expression was clear on MadLad's face.

"Hah, I will set the new record after this. Just watch." His tone was higher than usual, and he sounded displeased. He didn't even give a flattery and proceeded to enter the VR capsule.

'It's so childish. Or rather, he has a really high competitive spirit.' Max thought.

Setting the record made him happy, and the quest was also completed without any hitch.

Max didn't know how the system would send his reward, as it would be quite big. One thing he could guess was the system would order it from the real brand, and the said company would also do the delivery and installation.

However, nothing was certain. The system was so mysterious that he knew nothing about its origin. What he knew was one thing.

'The VR capsule will probably be ready once I return home.'

What he needed to do was simple. Waiting for the others to finish their test and then rest in the hotel while preparing for tomorrow's press conference. He also reminded himself to lock the door before Flexy bothered him again, just like what he did right now.

MadLad's test ended in under 30 minutes. He was careless in his steps and got killed many times in the fourth test, making him quite slow. His final time was 29:46, and his synchronization rate was 94.5%. It was quite high for a streamer with a decent skill.

However, the man himself wasn't satisfied and looked angry. He glared at Max for a second before sitting soundly and crossing his legs.

"It's my turn." Lily stood up from her seat and walked to the monitor area.

"Don't rush," StoneSword advised his little sister without even glancing at him.

"Good luck!" Max cheered, gaining a nod from her.

Lily's test went better than MadLad's. Possibly because she went with a cold head and faced the tests calmly, she didn't make a mistake for the first three tests. She also made a surprising move when she did a double jump to dodge the laser on the third test, gaining a gasp from the other streamers.

"She's able to do a double jump too?" Flexy whistled in amazement; his lips curled into a grin. "I need to learn that soon. It's quite a useful technique. Teach me, Breeze." He looked at Max.

"… If I have time."

Due to her small stature and good control over her body, the obstacle poses only a small challenge to her.

After ten minutes, she finally reached the final test. It took her 4 minutes longer than Max, but she could still be considered fast in a normal situation. However, she started to struggle in the tenth test and died eight times before she finally managed to hit the button.

Lily's final result was 17 minutes 24 seconds. And her synchronization rate…

"97.6… That's really high." Max commented as he leaned against the backrest.

"It's even higher than mine," StoneSword added, glancing at him. "If you weren't here, my little sister might be the one in the spotlight."

Something about his words sounded as if he was grateful for it. StoneSword even smiled, and the slight hostility in his gaze when he looked at Max was gone.

"Sorry to steal Lily's chance to shine," Max replied with a joking tone as he smirked. "It seems I am still faster and have a higher synchronization rate than her."

"Hahaha, not a problem." StoneSword laughed as he stood up. "Also, the player's skill isn't based on SR alone. Players with lower SR can also play well as long as they know the drill. Well, today is enough, I think. Have a nice rest, Breeze."

"You too, StoneSword." Max nodded.

StoneSword walked toward his sister and congratulated her before they left.

***

As soon as he was allowed to leave, Max immediately returned to his room and locked the door. He didn't want Flexy to disturb his rest.

However, the energetic streamer and his new friend would always find a way to disturb him.

This time, it was by text.

[Flexy: Hey! How cold. Why did you lock the door?]

[Flexy: Aren't we friends?]

The notification kept ringing as the messages entered one by one until it piled up to 10. Max looked at the screen while gritting his teeth in irritation.

'For fuck's sake, please let me rest!'

His condition wasn't the best yet, so the test earlier took a lot from him. Naturally, Flexy didn't know that, and Max didn't want to be rude to him as he had helped him a lot.

So, the only choice he had was to reply to him.

[Breeze: I am quite tired, so I will sleep. Good night.]

He hoped that would be enough to stop Flexy. But… he was too naïve.

[Flexy: Is that so? What a shame. And here I am, kind enough to let you see the edited video of our collaboration before I upload it. I guess you aren't curious. Well… Just watch it tomorrow after you wake up. Of course, on my channel.]

'Video…'

Reading that message, Max's eyes widened in realization.

'Right, he said he would upload the video of the collaboration. I also hadn't uploaded all my VODs, as I made them private. Damn it, how could I forget about that?'

Many things happened in the last day that the was so busy.

He quickly wrote a reply and jumped off his bed.

[Breeze: I will watch it now. Where are you?]

Putting on a jacket, he opened the door of his room. The question he just sent to Flexy was answered by then.

Flexy was standing in front of his room with his secretary, Lisa, behind him. He had a smile on his face, and his right hand was raised.

"Yo! I know you will open the door for me, my friend."

Max's expression was twisted in defeat. He should've known that it was just bait. He looked at Lisa, who gave him an apologetic look.

'Not even his secretary could stop him, huh?' He thought, sighing tiredly. 'How can he still have a lot of energy left after all of that?'

Pointing inside with his thumb, he said, "Come in. Let's watch the video together."
