Chapter 56: Another World

[One chest! One chest! One chest!]

[It feels like a video even just listening to the audio¬¬¬]

“Our character side will take time too, so what are you going to do?”

“We’re here for a tour today, so I’ll come find you when I’m ready.”

“Go ahead. Oh, can you take some pictures so we can prepare for our modeling?”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

After striking poses and taking pictures, I prepared to leave, leaving the director who was looking at me with a look full of regret.

“I’ll take you there.”

“It’s fine. I’m going to talk to the viewers and go on my way alone.”

“Oh, is that so. Then take care on the way back. I’ll see you next time.”

“Yes, take care of yourselves and fighting, director.”

After exchanging greetings, I went out of the TG building and put my phone in the holder.

[Wow, I’m outside]

[I thought I was going to lose it because it was stuffy]

“Kids. You’ve worked hard.”

I walked toward the taxi stop while talking to the viewers.

[Then the filming was postponed?]

“Right. No, rather than saying it was postponed, isn’t this normal? It’s abnormal to film a commercial on the same day.”

[Our host is so excited to see you]

[What are you going to do now?]

“Why are you asking me that? Are you crazy?”

[????????]

[Wow, this is the taste ===]

[Hmm, this familiar taffy taste is our host’s taste]

Viewers seemed to be used to my nonsense by now.

“But don’t you think I broadcast too ignorantly?”

[No, his face is Yoo Ji-seong.]

That’s true, but just hearing the host’s face and voice makes me so happy.

“No matter how much of a general broadcaster he is, other broadcasters usually have at least one concept. Like gaming or eating, but what am I? What kind of broadcaster am I?”

[Why are you asking us that aaa]

[I did a cooking show, played a game, and went to the military, it’s so weird ===]

[Do I have to follow what’s been around? It’s good that the host is fresh.]

[Jjang!]

[Bulchammayoddeopnim donated 1,000 won.]

[Nuna, are you going through puberty?]

“Hmm. Guys, the concept seems to be already behind, and Shipryeon, you are a living concept and this is a content meeting. Come up with ideas one by one.”

[breathe content]

“Wait a minute, a taxi is here. Come up with ideas.”

[How about copyright?]

[What is copyright?]

[That little brat’s wish is so small.]

[This is going to drive me crazy aaaa.]

While chatting with the viewers, I caught a taxi that stopped at a taxi stand and headed home.

“Driver, I’m going to talk to the viewers while I’m broadcasting, is that okay?”

“Yes, of course. It’s okay.”

“Thank you.”

I got in the taxi, put on my seatbelt, and looked at my phone.

Even then, the viewers were submitting their IDs.

[One more cooking show?]

[Clang!]

[Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won.]

[Cosplay?]

[Oh, that seems good.]

“Isn’t there anything novel?”

[Where’s novelty these days? It’s harder to find something I haven’t done.]

[Really === They’re all the same.]

[The girl who trained with the special forces was the most novel.]

[aaaaaa.]

Even after asking the viewers for their opinions, I didn’t see any opinions that resonated with me.

[Let’s play a new game, lol.]

[There are a lot of virtual YouTubers these days.]

[Stop talking nonsense, CEO, and just open up the copyright bread.]

While talking about content to do with viewers, a voice was heard from ahead.

“We have arrived.”

“Thank you. Be careful.”

Before getting out of the taxi, I told the viewers that I would switch to the computer, stopped the broadcast, and went up to the attic.

“Whew, status window!”

[Tiring!]

[Remaining amount: 4.34 million won.]

After smoking a cigarette in the yard and calculating the money accumulated in Triple Net, I found that I had 4.34 million won left.

“Master, I’m hungry.”

“There’s 4.24 million won left. Did our Posiraegi have a black hole in its stomach?”

When I lifted Baekseol, who was on top of my head, with my palm, she lay down as if she was hungry, showing her belly.

I touched Baekseol’s belly with my finger, then bought her a flower and gave it to her, and she jumped up onto my shoulder.

“Is that really the dining table?”

“Yeah.”

I fiddled with my cell phone while exhaling cigarette smoke.

New games, YouTubers, mukbangs, cooking shows, and even wish betting.

I looked at various chats that viewers had expressed.

“Hmm…”

The only novel thing was YouTubers, so I looked them up and found that they were ridiculously expensive for a one-time event.

“f*ck, an avatar costs 10 million won?”

Among popular YouTubers, there were quite a few who spent hundreds of millions of won.

Let’s look for more information.

The cost was anywhere from a few tens of thousands of won to a lot.

If you want to do it cheaply, you can buy a 50,000 won shared avatar with a cell phone that recognizes your face, and the tracking equipment that moves your entire body, including peripherals, costs well over 2.5 million won.

“Snow White. Should I do this or not?”

“Do whatever you want, master.”

I thought it would be too expensive to buy new equipment that I would use for a short time and throw away, so I went to a second-hand market.

[Selling a full set of VR equipment, full tracking OK.]

I can’t use it much because I get severe VR motion sickness, so I’m selling it. Only used it a few times.

The era of 2 million brand new products has changed, and VR devices have become widely available, so I saw more items on the second-hand market than I thought.

I looked through the sales posts that came up and saw one that caught my eye, so I called right away.

“Hello. I’m contacting you after seeing your second-hand market post.”

Yes, hello. There is no problem with the product. Would you like to purchase it?

“Yes. I will purchase it right away by bank transfer. Are the devices too heavy? I don’t have a car.”

They are quite heavy for a woman to lift, and there are a lot of devices. If you make a cool deal, I can bring them to you.

“I would appreciate it if you would give me that. I don’t plan on lowering the price. I’ll buy it right away.”If you give me your address, I’ll leave right away.

“Thank you. I’ll see you later.”

When I gave the dealer a note about the location where I sold the items at home to unlock the store, I received a message through the used goods app chat that I would arrive in 10 minutes.

I put on my mask and hat just in case.

“Snow White, I’ll be back shortly, so stay home for a bit.”

“Do you want to go with me?”

“I’ll be back in 10 minutes.”

I soothed Snow White, who clung to me, and headed to the meeting place.

Since I had made the appointment near my house, we arrived shortly, and while I was waiting with a cigarette in my mouth, the seller arrived.

“Hello. Is this the used goods market?”

“Yes, I’m the buyer.”

“Please check the items.”

The bag the seller handed me contained several pieces of equipment that were heavier than I thought.

“Do I have to use all of these things for tracking to work?”

“That’s the bare minimum that’s provided. There’s no problem using it, but if the room is large and the tracker bounces around, you can purchase an additional device called a base station. If you want to move around more freely, you can add a tracker and adjust it accordingly.”

“Oh, thank you.”

After depositing money into the seller’s account and returning home with the device, Snow White welcomed me.

“Master.”

“Oh. Thank you for your hard work looking after the house.”

“Yeah.”

After petting Snow White, who was hugging me and sitting in front of the computer, I felt like I’d forgotten something.

I quickly turned on the broadcast, and the viewers were causing a ruckus.

[The host said he’d turn it on right away!!]

“Oh, that’s right.”

[Oh, that’s right?]

[Shipryun, are we umbrellas?]

[= == This is so ridiculous.]

“You bastards. It’s all because I love you all.”

[Sigh, the host’s love]

[=== You’re so ridiculous.]

“Alright. I’m going to use my finishing move to calm the people down.”

[ooo Is it big?]

[Are you coming, are you coming?]

After watching the viewers quickly change with just one word, I put on a song.

[Wow, the rabbit is coming quickly.]

[The room leader’s nursery rhyme is admirable===]

As I slowly sang along to the rabbit nursery rhyme I sang before, Snow White, who had been rolling around on my head, came down on the desk.

Watching Snow White bob her head and perk her small ears every time I sang, it seemed like she was dancing a little to the beat.

[Where are you going, jumping up and down?]

After patting Snow White, who danced to the beat of my voice, I finished the song.

[Wow, even Jot-yo is so ecstatic when the room leader sings it===]

[From now on, Snow White is the room leader.]

[So cute=== What kind of baby rabbit is that smart?]

I commented after seeing the good atmosphere in the chat window.

“Thank you for watching today’s broadcast. See you next time. Bye bye.”

[??????]

[No, you crazy bitchaa ===][Tell Baekseol to go and watch the broadcast.]

[Jangle!]

[Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won.]

[Baekseol’s snack money.]

“Wow, Baekseol. The chairman gave Baekseol snack money.”

Baekseol heard what I said and wiggled her front paws toward the screen.

(I kept smiling when I saw Baekseol; it hurt like a clown aaa][aaa So cute.]

“Thank you, Red. See you next time.”

[No, you crazy b*tch, the sun is still up, where are you going?]

[Not tomorrow, but next time?]

“I didn’t broadcast for long and I went to TG and came back. I’m tired.”

[That’s right.]

[Take a rest and turn on the evening broadcast; I can’t breathe without the broadcaster.]

“I’ll check my condition and turn it on or something. Bye-bye.”

[Bye bye.]

[Bye bb.]

After ending the broadcast and spreading out the VR equipment I bought from a second-hand transaction, my head started spinning because it was so complicated.

I sighed and searched the internet and followed along step by step.

The installation itself wasn’t that complicated.

The only good thing was that the expensive webcam with lots of options had a facial tracking function.

The basic triple-net broadcasting required an upper body tracker and a facial tracker to recognize the face, and for the avatar game where you purchase a VR avatar and move your entire body, you had to wear trackers all over your body.

“Snow White, help me choose this.”

After learning the basic flow of the virtual YouTuber, I looked around the site to buy an avatar.

The 2D avatar was 50,000 won for a public avatar and at least 500,000 won for a personal avatar, and it went up to several million won.

“I can’t buy a 3D one. It’s so damn expensive.”

Most 3D avatars were custom-made, and even those started at several million won.

“Why are you choosing this?”

“It’s like a doll plaything. Choose the one you like.”

“This one.”

When I looked at the avatar that Baekseol was pointing at, it had pink hair similar to mine, but the problem was the price.

Unlike the public avatars, this was a personal avatar that was sold to only one person.

The price was 2 million won.

“The quality is good, but the price is crazy.”

It was a product that included everything from game avatars that you could enjoy online by moving the avatar yourself to avatars for broadcasting.

“Do you really like this?”

“Yeah.”

When I looked at Baekseol, it seemed like she chose it for the similar pink color to mine rather than the quality.

“I’ll buy this because Baekseol chose it for me.”

After making a payment on the site and downloading the file, I quickly started setting it up according to the enclosed manual.

“All done.”

Looking at the screen, the character followed me, blinking its eyes and moving its head.

“I feel like I’ve discovered a new realm.”

“This moves following its owner.”

“That’s right. It’s like a doll that moves following me.”

I saw Snow White nodding her head from side to side as if it was curious about the moving avatar.

“Snow White, come here.”

I hugged Snow White, who was covering the screen, and thought about it, but then I thought I should do a test broadcast before showing it to the viewers.

So I created a Triple Net sub-account and started broadcasting.

[Han Gyeo-woo starts broadcasting]

<I’m a new virtual streamer ^v^>

(0 viewers)

I waited for over 30 minutes after starting the broadcast, but not a single viewer came.

“Am I, a popular streamer in reality, going to be 0 in this world?”
