Chapter 20: Virtual Collabortaion

After the broadcast, checking my email is one of my routines.

I don’t really get any emails, but it’s important to seize the opportunity that comes to me, right?

Just as it’s important to buy a lottery ticket to win the lottery, it’s important to always check your mailbox so that you don’t get an email telling you to come to Nigeria and receive the inheritance of an oil tycoon worth 10 billion dollars and whine that it’s just fucking spam.

What the hell is this?

It’s spam that was popular a few years ago…

But there’s one thing I’ve never seen before.

Virtual Streamer Management Recruitment Offer]

What is this?

I pause for a moment before clicking.

These days, spam is like clicking on it and your PC gets infected…

But isn’t this the typical spam title?

Let’s click on it.

Fortunately, it’s a normal email.

The content is…

We’re Lasetta Universe, a virtual MCN business.

Since then, business goals, plans, mumbling…

Oh my, there are a lot.

Bottom line is, we would like to recruit you, who have firmly escaped from this wasteland of virtual YouTubers and are now two or three hundred, to our MCN.

We have the following virtual YouTubers.

We are confident.

Please consider it.

That’s all for now.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay I listened well.

To conclude…

I don’t think I will do it.

I’ve been doing well on my own.

Hmm?

Isn’t this confidence rather than arrogance?

I don’t want to “limit” my limitations by belonging to somewhere…

(Laughs)

But what does an MCN do?

I think I should know what it is before anything else.

I’m not going to join, but it might be beneficial for me to find out and contact them.

And like a regular company, it’s possible to move around and increase your value.

But there’s no one to ask about this.

Should I think about asking on a broadcast?

“Hey guys, I got an offer from some MCN~’ = What the F*ck, you’re a corporate bitch too =Okay-Let’s go-Okay-Let’s go-Okay-Let’s go-Okay-Let’s go-Okay-Let’s go = This show is about to…. end!

This show is about to… end!

This show is about to… end!

This show is about to… end!

I’ll probably hear things like that.

I don’t even need to watch it.

I don’t know, so let’s just sleep and think about tomorrow.

Since I don’t have anywhere to go today, I’ve finished all my basic exercises.

All that’s left is dance practice, but let’s go buy some coffee and look up the MCN I couldn’t find yesterday.

I roughly throw away my sweaty sports bra and panties and feel a brief sense of liberation naked.

Normally, when clothes drop to the ground, you hear a ‘thud” or “slurp’ sound, but my bra makes a thud sound because I’m so soaked in sweat.

I feel like I sweat more since I got this body.

Is it because I’m imagining it?

When I wear a bra…

I didn’t understand why women do weird things like the no-bra movement, but when I saw it, it became real.

Especially, if you wear something with wires, your blood pressure goes up like crazy.

Why on earth??

Why do I have to wear this when I’m not going to show anyone??

If I hadn’t become a TS, I probably would’ve never been able to imagine it.

It might’ve been better not to imagine it.

But then again, when it comes to the competition between living forever as a slut without wearing a bra vs. becoming a TS beauty while wearing a bra, wouldn’t you naturally choose the latter?

Unless you have some kind of inescapable fate of phallic worship attached to you as a trait…..

My thoughts were long.

Even if you draw the curtains, someone can still see through the gap.

This is incredibly inconvenient.

In the past, I would leave the door wide open and live like, “F*ck, who the hell wants to see my dick?”, but these days, I always draw the curtains when I’m at home.

But that’s just how it is.

After a quick shower, I leave the house wearing a black turtleneck, dolphin pants, and a windbreaker to buy coffee.

I threw away the pajamas I used to wear every day.

The pollution was so bad that I couldn’t help it.

“Exploratory behavior is important, you know.

Oh my, if you do it too often, your bones will rot-But the dolphin pants seem a bit tight around my thighs.

Should I buy a bigger one?

I came out of the elevator and entered the hallway.

My body shivers as the wind blows slightly.

Ugh, it’s still a little cold.

It’s the kind of weather that makes me regret leaving the house wearing only dolphin pants.

Hmm…

Should I go home and put on leggings?

Or should I go back home and order coffee delivery?

No, let’s just go.

What kind of delivery?

One of the most incomprehensible people in the world is someone who orders coffee delivery, but I can’t become that kind of person just because it’s cold…

Today, I pass a mother and daughter playing catch at the park.

Now that we’re used to each other’s faces, we exchange silent greetings whenever we see each other.

One time, she tried to get me to join her, but I find such childlike behavior a bit difficult.

I remember patting her head and giving her one of the snacks I happened to buy.

The neighborhood café I always go to.

Judging from the fact that the chairs and tables are outside, it seems like it’s the season to drink outside now, but why is it so cold?

There are fallen leaves here and there around the tables and chairs.

The chairs that still have traces of people seem to prove the age of this café.

“Welcome~” I hear a greeting as I enter the café.

The face of the female part-timer is familiar even today.

Maybe she’s also familiar to me.

A strange woman with big breasts and a height as tall as a pole, with her bangs down and a ponytail, who comes in every day to buy a cup of coffee.

I have no idea what she does…

What’s the point of thinking like this?

Actually, she probably doesn’t care about me.

She’s just one of the customers.

Thinking like this is also a kind of delusion.

There’s no need to have unhealthy thoughts.

What should I drink today?

On the internet, I see so many stories about part-timers preparing coffee just by looking at the person’s face, so I thought about becoming someone who only goes down one path, but my taste buds wouldn’t allow it.

I’ve only had Americano for a few days, and I’m really sick of it.

How is that possible?

Hmm, let’s have a vanilla latte.

“Give me a vanilla latte.”

“Would you like it iced or hot?”

“Hot, please.”

“Yes.”

The part-timer takes my card, pays, and stamps my point card on the counter.

Looking at that, a random thought occurs to me.

Shouldn’t I just choose between iced/hot or cold/hot?

But what about iced/hot?

But not many people use cold/hot.

Even though it’s the same language, I can’t understand it at all.

Language is complicated.

There’s also philosophy of language or something.

Should I study it?

I’ve given up on studying that kind of stuff.

As I sit quietly in the cafe with my legs crossed and my arms folded, thinking about that, I feel a hint of a glance.

I glance over and see that they’re all boys.

They look like they’re in high school…

These days, kids are growing up fast, so they might be in middle school.

Do they think they won’t get noticed?

After living as a girl for a few months, they say they can feel it more or less.

Judging from the shape of their mouths, they say things like, “Wow, this is fucking amazing.”

They just sit there talking amongst themselves…

Suddenly, I looked at my crossed arms and they were under my chest.

Is there something wrong with crossing my arms like this?

But crossing my arms is a habit I’ve had since I was a man, and if I cross my arms over my chest, I feel like I’m going to collapse because I feel suffocated.

Plus, if I let go of it in this situation, I feel like I’m losing something.

And it’s comfortable to support my chest.

You wouldn’t know this if you didn’t have chest.

Since I used to wear them without wires because they were uncomfortable, my shoulders feel much more comfortable just by supporting them with my arms.

“Your vanilla latte is here~”

What does “your vanilla latte” mean?

What kind of a “principal” is it?

But if I don’t do it like this, what will the real bastards say?

Service jobs are tough too.

At a convenience store, you can just shut your mouth and pay, but people who have to take orders and give things to customers like this must have a really hard time.

“Thank you. Thank you for your hard work~”

Greetings are important, so you have to do them sincerely.

Even part-timers smile and bow their heads.

As I was about to go out the door, someone suddenly stood up from the table where the boys were sitting.

Again?

I glanced at the high schooler who was trying to approach me and he hesitated.

I know what you’re going to do, so just give up and go tell your friends, “That fucking bitch won’t give me her number, you idiot.”

It’ll be annoying if you keep on clinging to her.

This ‘older sister’ knows how pretty she is, so you should realize for yourself that she’s not the type to hang out with you.

After buying coffee, I sat down on my chair and turned on my computer.

Okay, let’s go to our friend Xmuwiki.

MCN… multichannel networks.

Much more auxiliary than an entertainment agency.

But it takes the form of a company.

Etc..

Well, it’s basically just management.

It was called management in the first place.

So what’s that Lassetan thing?

If it’s on Xmuwiki and has its own article, it should be considered large-scale, but it’s not that big.

It just has a name and three active members.

Yoo Ae-dan, Chae Soo-yeon, Harari…

They sound like humanities names.

They seem like Israelis.

After looking around and watching their previous broadcasts, I definitely felt like I had to reject them.

I don’t want to be affiliated with anyone, but they don’t fit my broadcast.

They have about 200 peak viewers and 50-100 average viewers, so I don’t think they’ll be of any benefit to me.

If you combine the three of them, they’re about the same size as me, so what would they be?

Well, they may have know-how, but they have completely different broadcasting tendencies than me, so would that know-how be of any help?

Of course, the world isn’t determined by viewership alone.

There are management difficulties, income, reputation, and other things.

There are also things I don’t care about.

The decisive factor is that their broadcasting tendencies are the complete opposite of mine.

Their broadcasts are a bit small and cute, where they say nice things to each other and broadcast their daily lives….

If you look at it as a nerd show, it’s like a daily show?

That’s how it feels.

Of course, if you go to Hako Gallery, there are guys who are desperate to take off their masks, and there are guys like that on the broadcast, but the basic atmosphere is like that.

But what about me?

The host of the broadcast has been a DC Insider for over ten years and has been causing trouble.

The solid Marklit group that followed me from the gallery, the DC Insiders who are nice on other broadcasts but take off their masks and start talking nonsense on my broadcast, the King Ban guys who came from some big company, and the Yellow City people who only serve spicy food who came from somewhere…

Why did I become a Lich King reserve?

If I mix with them…

Well, I’m okay, but that place is a total ruin.

It’s okay that my house is full of cockroaches.

But isn’t it wrong for a civilized person to spread that to someone else’s house?

But the problem is that I don’t want to completely blow this opportunity.

As the old saying goes, opportunity is easy to catch because the front is thick, but it’s hard to catch after it’s gone because the back is bald.

I don’t know if this is an opportunity or not, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try.

It’s risky to attract various viewers, but there will definitely be returns.

My motto these days is that it’s better to regret doing something than to regret not doing it.

As things are going well, I think my haphazard nature is improving little by little.

My life has definitely changed since becoming a TS.

No matter what happens, who am I?

‘Ts is also my top-ranked beauty’.

I think this is why the saying goes that a position makes a person.

Since the VR equipment I bought just arrived, I should try out a collaboration proposal and if it doesn’t work out, let’s just ignore it and go that way.

= Did you reply? =

Who is it? =

It’s Pardan.

The person who merged with Jaehyun. =

You replied quickly.

Yes, I think I sent it yesterday.

When I looked, he said he won’t join but wants to merge once. =

??

The work KakaoTalk room isn’t that noisy.

The usual conversations are about what’s hot in the community right now, what was on the broadcast today, what was lacking and what was good, that kind of information.

They show a harmonious image on the broadcast, but in reality, it’s not like that.

She thought that, based on her short part-time job experience, all relationships in the workplace are like that.

Today’s topic is the email I sent yesterday.

I sent an email to one of the YouTubers, and it seems like I’ve already received a reply.

A rookie YouTuber who appeared a few months ago and has been growing at a frightening pace.

Not long ago, he merged with Jaehyun, one of the biggest companies in Twitch.

It was a sudden merger and there seemed to be no plan or anything, but even she, a fellow YouTuber, was impressed by how skillfully he controlled and led the broadcast.

‘Maybe Jaehyun or someone from a nearby large company planned and debuted him…?

It doesn’t make sense for him to collaborate with a large company in less than two or three months.’

But it was fun to call him a planned person.

It was a fresh and fun broadcast because it was conducted without the masks of the so-called bus gallery villains, which were different from her, and I also liked the way she controlled the guys who didn’t even listen to their parents like dogs when it came to other people’s words.

However, I didn’t understand why she just left the so-called ‘sexual praise’ alone.

“If you just paid a little more attention, all that would go away.

Are they intentionally inducing that?

To say that, aren’t there more people who dislike such excessive sexual harassment jokes?

Hmm…. I don’t know.

= How did you get the email? =

I appreciate the offer to recruit you, but it seems like it’ll be difficult right now.

I appreciate the offer, but wouldn’t it be good for both of us if we merged?

That’s what it said.

= [Email capture]

The image file sent had a polite tone of content.

Hello, I’m Twitch virtual streamer Pardan.

I received the email you sent.

I really appreciate the suggestions you’ve made, but I’m asking for your understanding because it’s a bit difficult for me to accept.

It’s hard to believe that this is a polite style for someone who used to go crazy with DC galleries and fight each other.

I’m a bit like that, but do broadcasters really look different when the camera’s on and off?

= Then who’s going to do it if we merge?

I sent a KakaoTalk message and waited for a moment, and I got a reply.

I haven’t decided yet.

“Should I do it..

I’m not dissatisfied with my current situation because I’m broadcasting and earning a decent income, but that doesn’t mean I won’t improve.

Satisfaction means stagnation.

Dissatisfaction means change.

If I can’t live like this my whole life, I have to change.

If it’s the spicy chats that came out of that room, I might be able to endure it a few times, but it’ll be hard to endure it like that person.

However, people can’t live doing only what they want.

I’m lucky enough to have people who compliment me on broadcasting asl please, but that’s not enough.

With a broadcast of about 100 people, it might be a hobby, but it’s not enough to make a living.

On top of that, there are a lot of turrets attached to it…

‘Oh my, those damn turrets.

It’s good to shoot Done and respond, but it’s a bit, no, really bad that they’re trying to control the broadcast so obviously.

They say they care about it in their own way, but how can you look at them chasing other people away and doing whatever they want?

For now, I’m not going to chase them away, so I’m just leaving them alone…

I’ll do it.

= Harari-nim?

I thought her broadcast was fun.

I think it’d be okay to go out.

= Her broadcast was a bit spicy, so is Hari-nim okay?

“Even if it’s not okay, I should do it, what can I do?”

I mutter to myself.

People on my broadcast might hate it.

However, if I don’t change like this, I won’t die, but I’ll just slowly wither away.

Including the broadcasts I’ve done alone, the broadcast has been stuck at less than 100 people for a year and a half.

I know that if I keep going like this, nothing will change.

“Did you enjoy the last merge, guys?”

The reply email came last night.

It was an email of approval.

The broadcast is set for the day after tomorrow, but how on earth am I going to tell these guys that I’m going to merge with the virtual YouTubers?

Since my viewer base isn’t a solid virtual YouTuber concrete, there are some who are reluctant.

It’s a bit hard to get everyone involved…

But come to think of it, my broadcast was feeding the Marklits virtual YouTubers, feeding the Bucklits mahjong, and feeding the Gotbanins fanboys, so what’s there to be reluctant about?

Let’s just do what I want.

= It was fun.

= I can’t lose Najax.

Don’t go to Maui anymore…

= It’s time to grow up now.

=Tiki-taka is really hard, lol.

= It seems like they’re building up to a merger again but “Hey, sh*t, how did you know?

Do you have a good intuition because you only watch my videos?

Mr. Ment, you can tell that much?

Why is someone with such a good intuition watching Twitch?

Haven’t you ever thought about living the popular life?

I almost said—Have you seen the Twitch meetup photos?

They’re all over 180cm and make over 1 billion won a year, wearing full suits and driving Maybachs.”

= Don’t hit me back, Shipryun just throw you away if something comes up.

a = Is it wrong to not have friends?

= If I were popular, would I shoot a bitch like you?

It makes me feel bad—

= Hey, that friend is becoming the Joker, Joker ¬¬¬

“Stop! I can see hatred rising in your hearts.

Stop it, stop it!

I was wrong.

I’ll apologize.

I’m sorry.

Let’s stop here.”

When I pretend to nod my head, my virtual avatar follows suit.

I don’t really like that either.

I did choose it carefully, but I feel like I need to get more equipment.

I wish it would reflect my expressions, but it doesn’t work very well.

= How about bringing in some broadcast settings and doing that?

= Even if I try it now, aren’t you just going to put up a cam and do it?

It’ll look good.

=== Didn’t you say you were going to buy virtual YouTuber equipment?

= Isn’t the equipment below going to pop up soon ¬¬

= Looks like you’re going to cry again ¬¬

“Hey, do you think I’m some kind of money-crazy ghost?

I have that much money because you all spin the roulette like crazy.

Of course, I wouldn’t refuse if you gave it to me…

Actually, I don’t have that much money.

Please give me money.

I’m a beggar.”

Even if you make a motion to hold out your hand, it doesn’t show up on the cam.

This is why it’s better to use a real cam instead of a virtual YouTuber.

“Anyway, so it looks like we’ll probably merge like this.

The schedule is probably the day after tomorrow?

And it’ll probably be through VR chat…

Is there anyone who is averse to VR?

Mr. Toothpick, VR is uncomfortable?

Then the posture…

No—Those people should just endure it.

Have you ever seen a dentist say it hurts and raise your hand and say “I’m sorry” but don’t do the procedure?”

= Then why are you asking?? (I really don’t know what this is)

= Oh lol, just for reference lol.

= Isn’t VR the female corruption or something?

I saw a picture.

= What the heck kind of picture did you see one too?

= Not all of them are like that,

= VR junk arrest.

I think I’ve seen that famous…
