Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Reverse City 16
'Founding a PMC, is it.'
Despite Baek Woohyun's somewhat out-of-nowhere proposal to found a new faction, Jeong Nayeon was not flustered.
Having been with him from the very start of the Nuclear Tourism content to now, something of this level was trivial to her. It wasn't even something that could be called an unexpected development.
Live broadcasts naturally involved all manner of situations, and Baek Woohyun expressing a desire to found a PMC was simply one of them.
Е̄ n ŭ mа
While keeping the broadcast running she had caught a glance at Baek Woohyun, and from the look on his face that suggested he was thinking about something, she had already guessed some other proposal was coming.
To other people it may have looked like the same expressionless face as always — but for her, all those small changes were entirely readable.

Whether it was because she had grown that accustomed to Baek Woohyun, or for some other reason, she couldn't say. Either way.
'It's not particularly difficult.'
On top of that, the fact that founding a new faction itself was simple enough not to require complicated consideration also added to Jeong Nayeon's composure.
Since Reverse City was built on the foundation of 'Reverse Planet,' it shared its degree of freedom, and that extended to faction creation as well.
Ẅеb.ṅ о v ѐ l È nǔmӓ
For starters, even a single person could found a faction. Though various features would be locked due to low membership, the founding itself was quite easy.
In practice, factions beyond the existing ones were already proliferating in Reverse City. A few of them boasted a scale nearly rivaling the established factions.
Of course, this was an example of a very special few at the extreme end. The majority were little more than someone registering a name alone, and the most they had secured was a handful of members.
Unless one had a truly extraordinary idea, there was no need to abandon an existing faction to found a new one or join a fledgling one.

'But given time, it'll surely change.'
For instance — if the second round of invitations, and then the round after that, came through, and the server population truly exceeded a thousand, making Reverse City a pillar of the personal broadcasting world.
Е ṅŭm̃а̄
If that happened, more factions would appear in Reverse City, and some had a high probability of standing tall as factions more powerful than the existing ones.
With only the second-round invitees now joining, it might look like a distant future — but it was a future that would inevitably come.
Among those would certainly be a faction symbolizing military power exclusive to the neutral faction — something akin to the PMC Baek Woohyun wished to found.
The neutral faction, with the highest population ratio, wouldn't keep walking the tightrope between heroes and villains in cooperative relationships forever.
And setting the precedent by having Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon — who were also organizers — create it in advance to show a proper example wasn't a bad idea either——
"Sounds good. Shall we give it a try?"

- First-ever server PMC let's go
- What's a PMC lol, let's just do it!
- Neutral faction did need some firepower
- It actually came up as an agenda at the neutral faction assembly not long ago
——Jeong Nayeon, having run the same calculation in an instant, smiled and answered.
She had clearly thought that switching to participant status shouldn't go in a direction of monopolizing the spotlight too much.
Еň um а̇
That thought hadn't changed, and accordingly she originally should have stopped the PMC founding. Or suggested finding a similar existing faction to join instead.
Had anyone other than Baek Woohyun been the one declaring a desire to found a PMC, she would certainly have done exactly that.

But given that he had announced he wanted to found a PMC, she had every intention of helping him to the best of her ability — even if that meant discarding a preset plan without hesitation.
If she had to name the single highest priority for her in the broadcast, it was unquestionably Baek Woohyun's will — just like Nuclear Tourism content itself.
"Then let's set our direction toward founding the PMC."
"Got it. First we'll need to gather people."
Е̄ n̊um ȧ
- Headhunting time?
- Pick only the skilled ones
- Nah if the goal is protecting neutral then just build numbers first
- A small elite PMC is the real romance though!

As explained earlier, founding the faction itself was possible even with insufficient members — it was just that the various features provided to factions would be locked.
Bluntly put, if Jeong Nayeon and Baek Woohyun just declared "From now on we are the Nuclear Tourism PMC!" they could knock up a faction just like that.
E n̊ ům̌_а.і́ḋ
However, to unlock features like 'providing certain functions to faction members' — one of the faction features — a certain number of people was essential.
Factoring in the various other elements — fulfilling the PMC's role, startup capital for operations, and so on — a minimum of around five people would need to be secured.
'Well, gathering people probably won't be that difficult.'
With Baek Woohyun having founded a new faction and putting out a call for members, the number of people who would come together would be enormous. Overflowing might even be the right word.
Starting from those who had connections with him for various reasons, all the way to personal broadcasters hoping for a trickle-down effect from viewers.
If he wanted, not five but dozens would be possible. Perhaps even more.

But just because it was possible didn't mean it should actually be done that way. As both participants and organizers, they had various circumstances to consider.
Which meant Jeong Nayeon would need to navigate things carefully in the middle — maintaining balance between Baek Woohyun's will and the spotlight monopoly problem.
It was something only she could do — the one capable of guiding him while by his side.
"How do you want to go about recruiting people?"
"Hmm."
"If there are people you had in mind already, we go propose it to them — and for the rest, what if we just wander around and see?"
Ё ǹu m̆ǎ . і̃ ď
"No one I had in mind specifically — let's look around first."
"Sure!"

- Wonder who'll join
- All the broadcasters frantically logging into Reverse City right now deserve an upvote lol
- The logged-in count just spiked lol
- Ah lol as if anyone could hold back from being Hackphysical's founding member
Ẁêb̃ ňо̇ v е l Е̌ nu m а.
And so, the journey of Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon to recruit for the PMC had begun — and contrary to expectations, it proceeded in a perfectly peaceful manner.
Because unless there was a special event like the [Steel Legion Invasion], Reverse City stood on the precarious balance between heroes, villains, and neutral.
Which meant heroes and villains suddenly breaking out into a brawl, with neutral faction abruptly piling in and things escalating, didn't happen often.
Heroes vs Villains vs Neutral faction was, strictly speaking, less like the UFC (real fighting) and more like the WWE (staged fighting).

"Shall we grab a skewer while we're at it?"
"Sure."

- Street skewers are super expensive irl but cheap here
- Godverse City achieving price normalization
- Looks delicious
- Having chicken for dinner tonight
And so Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon wandered leisurely through Reverse City, casually enjoying street food along the way.
Having declared right from the start they were founding a new faction, they looked rather relaxed about it. Though it wouldn't have made much difference to rush either.

Naturally, viewers who were always hunting for dopamine couldn't possibly sit still.

- fyi: Hackphysical rejected Kang Soyul's proposal and Jeong invited him onto the broadcast. No idea how she convinced him
Viewers going all out trying to corner and tease Jeong Nayeon and Baek Woohyun.
Unlike Baek Woohyun who maintained a composed attitude with a shrug at best, Jeong Nayeon was taken aback and waved it off, telling them to stop talking nonsense.
It goes without saying that her actions rambling on with excuses only made the viewers more excited and sent the slander into overdrive.

"No slander!"
- No what, exactly?

- Phew; almost said something crossing the line;;
- It's almost ban time! Everyone be careful!
- As always the one keeping track of the timing is the pacifist Hackphysical lol
Of course, Jeong Nayeon's reaction like this was entirely for the sake of back-and-forth banter with viewers.
In any case.
···Boom···!

"Oh!"
"Hm?"
Some time had passed since the start of Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon's Reverse City exploration for PMC recruitment — which viewers insisted should be read as 'date.'
The two, strolling through the city center in step with each other, stopped in their tracks upon hearing an explosion from quite some distance away.
Realizing that the very thing they had been looking for had finally happened, the two quickly exchanged glances and took off running toward the source.
"Today is the day I finish you! Stormrage!"
W̃ е b ǹ о̊ ṽ ӗľ Ѐ ñ.ǔ m̄ā
"No — you're the one who ends here! Banshee Queen!"
BOOM!

- These two are at it again
- It's a couple's quarrel smh lol
- Wait, why is it called a couple's quarrel?
- Because Stormrage and Banshee Queen are actually a couple in real life

"A hero and villain fight."
"Let's go around."
Having confirmed the fierce clash between hero 'Stormrage' and villain 'Banshee Queen,' Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon moved in a different direction for the time being.
They showed no particular interest in what caliber of abilities the two fighting had — and this was because of conditions the two of them had agreed on.

Among the things discussed during the Reverse City exploration — which viewers insisted on reading as 'date' — was an agreement to keep heroes and villains out of the PMC as much as possible.
Unless it was a time when headcount needed to be filled for future expansion, heroes and villains were to be excluded from founding membership.
Ŵе b̂n̄о v̈еl̀ Е́ ň ūm̌а̀
This was decided because having heroes and villains involved in the founding would pull away from the goal of military power exclusive to the neutral faction.
From their position as organizers, they also had to bear in mind that the delicately calibrated balance between the Hero Association and the Villain Alliance could be disturbed.
"Whoa?!"
"——Eek?!"
Crash!
- Whoa;;

- Flew all the way over here
- Maybe because it's a wind-attribute aerial fight
- Is Stormrage losing again!
It was at that very moment that Stormrage, pushed back in his clash with Banshee Queen, came flying toward Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon as they were turning away.
It was a situation that could have gotten them killed by collision, but Baek Woohyun swiftly pulled Jeong Nayeon into his arms and dodged Stormrage.
Jeong Nayeon, who had narrowly avoided having her very first death in Reverse City be the curious cause of death 'struck by Stormrage flying through the air,' let out a sigh.

"Ugh···."
The fallen Stormrage groaned his way to his feet and found Baek Woohyun and Jeong Nayeon standing before him. More precisely — he found Baek Woohyun.
In the process of dodging the falling Stormrage, Jeong Nayeon had been pulled into Baek Woohyun's arms and was in a state of practically having buried her face in his chest.
Finding himself abruptly face to face with his worst and most powerful enemy, he shouted with wide eyes.
