Chapter 21 Part 2: Virtual Collabortaion

[oo donated 1,000 won.]

-Who, where, when, what, how, and why “It’s called the six principles, right?

I think I learned that when I was young.

With who?

I decided to do it with this guy named Harari.

He said he enjoyed my broadcast and offered to merge.

I watched his broadcast a few times, and he found it fun in a different way than mine, so I decided to do it.”

Well, it’s a completely different story in reality.

[We’ve already agreed on this point. ]

[Then what about the content?]

[Harari ¬¬¬ Isn’t that a Hakogal pick?]

[Aren’t the broadcast styles completely different?]

[The name sounds familiar ]

Isn’t that the guy who wrote that philosophy book?

Was he a virtual streamer?

[No, I wonder if he’s a virtual YouTuber?¬¬¬¬]

[Live a cultured life, you piece of shit]

That kid who talks about being cultured is a legend because he’s a virtual YouTuber.

“Content?

You guys have been watching me for months and still don’t know who I am or what I do.

Huh?”

Even when I think about it, a voice that clearly has a hint of laughter comes out.

Of course it’s “that”.

[Right? ]

[Is this really it? ]

[F*ck, is this it? ]

[Even a devil doesn’t have a devil like this]

[Are all people who play mahjong like this???]

[(Official position) The DX Inside Mahjong Gallery declares defeat to the real devil]

At first, I thought it was real, but I was convinced it was a concept, but I couldn’t imagine that it was something that surpassed that =

[Is it normal to call people over and have them compete with mahjong? → aaaa ]

But these days, everyone plays mahjong a little “Hold on!

This is my broadcast that you chose.

Who threatened me with a knife to make you watch my broadcast?

If you’re going to watch it voluntarily, you should know how to endure this.”

He briefly tries to meow, but the tracking doesn’t catch him.

There’s no reason for him to upgrade his equipment.

Shaking… =

[You crazy guy, you should do it moderately ¬¬ ]

No, please, I wish it was a concept.

How can someone like this much??

[There is a level of over-immersion ]

[I didn’t just leave malicious comments and harass the gallery for 10 years ]

[Do you have to be this good to get 9th Dan?? ]

It’s nice to see people having fun playing mahjong, but taking it to a merger is a bit much;

“In fact, since it’s a merger, you should play mahjong more.

How many newbies are there these days?

There are many crazy guys who shout “Tsuanke” when they get a “Kuksa” tile, “Kkangchi” when they get a “Kkangchi” tile.

Let’s use this opportunity to educate them again.

My goal is for the entire nation to know and practice the 5-block theory.

[Towards the K-eSport of mahjong!”]

Then you should play Korean Mahjong instead of Lichi.

Why are you hitting Lichi?

You fucking idiot.

“Oh, Korean Mahjong isn’t even unified.

And if you don’t hit Lichi and play Gukpyo, you’re going to say things like ‘Janggwi’ or something.”

That’s true, said the chatter.

I see right through your logical flow.

Haven’t I walked all of these paths at least once?

Huh?

I was doing it 10 years earlier.

I told you to show respect to your senior.

[Ehye-nim donated 1,000 won.]

[High school graduate unemployed and a source of pride with a 10-year history of gallery-going, Pardan-nim is back again]

[Is this person an unemployed and high school graduate? ]

[kekekekekekekekeke ]

[I feel a kinship with them.. (Mandu cone with a wine glass) ]

Hey..

Asked if they were my nakama. =

[High school graduate unemployed and a beauty (claims to be 178cm, pretty, and 75kg)]

I don’t know about the beauty, but I’ll verify the 178 and 75 in a few days.

Kekeke

Even just a few months ago, if you said you were an unemployed and high school graduate, you would have gotten angry in real life.

People naturally get angry when facts or their inferiority complexes are pointed out.

So they would leave a comment and then think, “Oh, I’ll get caught,” and hold back, that’s how they would look.

But now, they’re relaxed.

So what’s wrong with being an unemployed and high school graduate—it’s a fact.

Ts is god.

I am invincible.

“It’s not good to lie to yourself.

I decided to accept who I am.

It’s okay even if I’m a high school graduate, unemployed, and a part-timer!

It’s okay even if my life is ruined!

I’ll start a channel, become a YouTuber, and suck people’s backbones!

[Even though I’m like this, your backbones… will you allow me?” ]

Get off my back, “Hello.”

“Hello!”

“Hello.”

A temporary discord made for pre-merger coordination.

Me, the person in charge of… what?

MCN or management (they keep using the terms interchangeably), and YouTuber Harari, a total of three people.

Since there was nothing much to say, I thought he would just leave it as it was, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Still, since he’s a paid professional, he cares about things like this, and he definitely has a professional attitude.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Pardan.”

“Yes, I’m Yoonjin in charge!”

“Hello—I’m Harari~”

After greeting each other, there was a brief two-second silence.

Isn’t this how it is with people meeting for the first time?

I don’t have a wide range of interpersonal relationships, and I’ve never worked in a company…

No, Yoonjin is an office worker.

I want him to show off his skills to raise the tension of a working person.

“As I said, Harari and Pardan will be joining forces tomorrow…”

Not in a tone that tried to break the awkward atmosphere, but in a tone that seemed like he was doing what he had to do.

Trust…

Can I have that?

Can I trust him?

You were a little late because you were looking for information?

“Have you any ideas on what you two will do?”

“Um… If you’ve watched my broadcast, you’d know that I don’t really have any content.

I’ve played other games, but my main content is mahjong,”

“Hari? What did you plan on doing?”

“I was thinking of doing a chat broadcast or exploring the world through VR chat.”

What’s world exploration?

Anyway, we both know that there’s no answer.

“I think playing mahjong wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Because since Pardan-nim and Jaehyun-nim merged, Jaehyun-nim has been spreading mahjong to other streamers…

Didn’t you know?”

“Huh? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Oh no.

Since I’m using the mic, my usual speech is coming out.

I have to be careful…

But mahjong is trending?

What kind of alternative reality is this?

“After the merge, other big company streamers saw Jaehyun-nim doing it and found it fun, so they joined in.

That’s how I figured out that a lot of people play mahjong.

So for this merge, I planned to promote it by saying something like, ‘The original restaurant Pardan appears!'”

Although I didn’t pay much attention to the design, I showed a PPT that summarized the main points briefly through screen sharing.

-The original spicy 1-hit instructor Pardan who collaborated with ‘Jaehyun’ appears!

-The expected effect can attract viewers who experienced the spicy taste at the time.

It says that it can attract people who want to play mahjong well.

Is mahjong really popular?

Does that make sense?

It’s not like Mr. Chile just appears, but is mahjong really popular?

Looking at the chat window, there are people talking about seeing other big companies playing mahjong with Jaehyun yesterday.

This is crazy…

Why didn’t I know this?

“I thought it was okay, but you guys are the ones who are hosting the broadcast.”

“I’m completely okay.

First of all, the fact that they are training newbies before the broadcast, that in itself is something I like as a mahjong enthusiast.”

I can’t help but feel excited.

After all, I’m a lyricist before a broadcaster.

“As a broadcaster, if there’s a mahjong boom like Yoonjin said, I think I can attract newbies by systematically educating them once…

It’s just wishful thinking.”

“I don’t think that doing a mahjong broadcast is a bad thing,” Harari said in a calm voice.

“But I don’t think it will be used for advertising or to attract new people to the broadcast.

Right now, it’s just big companies playing mahjong.

They’re just trying to film and eat, so I don’t think they’ll come to our broadcast to learn mahjong while leaving their broadcasts alone.”

If you think about it, it makes sense.

It’s not that mahjong is fun, it’s that big companies playing mahjong are fun.

If people started watching because mahjong was fun, wouldn’t my broadcast have gotten hundreds of thousands of viewers without these kinds of stories coming up?

“Is that so?

But Pardan-nim’s name is…”

“Well, what would my name be?

I’m just a mahjong player number one.”

If you put a title like ‘appeared on Kim Jae-hyun’s broadcast,’ it’s not like I give 50 maximum damage, I’m just an extra 1 who appeared on the broadcast once and taught mahjong.

It may sound like a negative opinion, but if it weren’t for that, I would have had about 300 people come to me.

But the reality is around 50?

Even that seems to be dropping a bit these days.

“That’s why I want to go with a mahjong broadcast, but I don’t want to put too much meaning into new recruits.

If they come, great, if not, don’t.

I think it would be better to just go with a light merger atmosphere.”

If we go that way, won’t it be a huge loss for me?

Well, it’s hard to see it that way.

The broadcast times are different, and the atmosphere of each broadcast is so different that I don’t think viewers will switch or anything.

And it also seems like we’re only considering the pros and cons.

It’s too hasty to judge everything based on whether it’s profitable or not.

Even if it’s not profitable, who knows?

What will happen if this becomes an opportunity?

“Then shouldn’t we do any separate promotions?

I’ve already told my viewers.”

“We did a simple promotion through our YouTube channel and the company, so that should be enough.

It’s not a project, it’s a regular merger, so there’s nothing to make a big deal out of.”

Yoon Jin-ssi’s voice was heard through the microphone.

Soon, she continued.

“By any chance, Mr. Pardan, is there anything you don’t want me to mention when we merge?

As far as I know, Rari doesn’t have any particular reservations.

I just wish you wouldn’t treat me too harshly?

Is there anything Hari-ya?”

“I don’t have anything,”

“I don’t have anything special to say, but I have a favor to ask.”

The voice coming through the speaker was quite serious.

“Huh? What is it?”

“The viewers are a bit harsh.”

So are you asking them to control it so that it doesn’t get spicy?

“I just want you to keep the original feel.”

“Just the same?”

“Yes,” Harari answered.

Yoonjin suddenly interrupted and took her to another channel for a moment, but it seemed like it wasn’t something they had agreed on.

Is she going to try a spicy broadcast?

It seems like she’s trying to pioneer a new area, and it seems like she’s using our merger as a stepping stone.

No, then in the end, she’s taking my viewers away…

No, I can bring the other person’s viewers too, so I shouldn’t think of it as taking them away.

It doesn’t matter what you do, but I don’t know if it’ll work.

At some point, changing the taste of the broadcast, whether it’s possible or not, will the existing viewers like it?

It’s none of my business.

“Well, let’s do that.”

She answered the two who had returned from their conversation.

Yoonjin let out a huge sigh.

There was a somewhat relieved atmosphere.

Thinking about it, was saying something like that to me so openly a declaration that he was going to invade my territory?

Was that why he was so relieved?

Hmm…

If that was possible, I hope you do it yourself, but if that was your intention, isn’t it a bit strange to say something like that in front of me?

What’s the point of complaining when you’re just going to merge once?

If you’re not going to do it again, there’s no reason to bring it up and frown at each other.

Just think, “Why on earth is she acting like that?” and move on.

“Still, sexual harassment…

I think Pardan’s room is a bit too much, so I wish we could refrain from that kind of thing.”

“Is that so? Is my room too much?”

I’ve never thought about it that way.

Those galleries always do that to pretty Koza, but isn’t it just normal?

There was a guy who really went hard before…

Other than that, he seemed normal.

All men are like that.

But Yoon-jin and Hari-ri seemed to think differently.

There were a lot of chats that were so strong that I frowned.

I was like that too.

Am I a little impatient?

Or am I weird?

“I’ll be careful for now.”

He said he didn’t like that, so what can I do?

I guess I need to be careful.

I try out the new equipment I bought.

Oh… Is this the world of VR chat?

I bought the MeX Quest with great determination, and it feels pretty good.

I’ll have to do more to get used to it, though.

They sent me a detailed video of how to set up VR.

Thanks to that, I forgot a lot of the time I spent practicing dancing.

I could have done a few more hours, but what kind of settings are so hard?

I wonder if it’s worth it.

I was just looking around the world, and suddenly I got curious about how I looked, so I stood in front of a full-length mirror.

Even I found it funny to see myself wearing VR equipment with my eyes wide open.

It’s even funnier that there are three protrusions.

It feels like Cerberus.

Title: 21st Century Cerberus

It looks like something you’d see at a modern art museum.

Let’s stop fooling around and set up the broadcast.

Change the OBS settings, turn on the PCVR, etc.

It would be nice if someone could set up things like this.

Should I hire a manager?

But as of now, I don’t have money to give a manager or anything, and I can’t call anyone, so what can I do?

These days, I’ve been wandering around a bit and acting without hesitation, but I need to keep in mind that my identity hasn’t changed yet.

Well, it seems like the identity laundering(?) process is finally coming to a close.

I just need a few more documents to submit.

Whether the court ruling will come out is another matter, but at least I prepared diligently…

Work is done by people, but what happens is in heaven.

Even if you want to do it, you can’t be forced to do it.

First, let’s upload the merger notice and preview image.

As announced, today’s broadcast is a merger, and it will be done through VR chat.

And I’ve attached my avatar image.

I worked really hard, but this avatar is worth working hard for.

A typical 3D beauty avatar that comes and goes where it should.

A faithful recreation of my real body…

If I say this, I’ll probably get told not to tease you again, right?

Just tell me when you guys reveal your body cam.

You get invited to the world through SX and enter it early.

Harari’s avatar is, well, just an ordinary pretty girl character like most VR avatars.

Straight silver hair, blue eyes, a black magic jumper, and a white turtleneck.

Yoon Jin, who joined VR chat to help us, is also just a pretty girl character with silver hair and red eyes.

Why do nerds like silver hair so much?

I can’t understand it.

I’ve thought about it before, but if everyone has silver hair, wouldn’t it be unusual for her not to have silver hair?

I don’t really understand.

That’s not important.

The setup is already done.

A few images explaining the rules of mahjong, mahjong tiles, and table objects, etc.

If there was one more helper, I could try playing mahjong in VR, but since there are only three people, that’s impossible.

You can play 3-ma, but if you teach that to a beginner, you’ll get possessed by the money, so it’s not good.

Then, let’s turn on the broadcast.
