Chapter 124: New Build-Up (1)

The joint broadcast with Heosu ended successfully, producing numerous clips and breaking records.

Clear time: 57 minutes and 49 seconds.

The first global clear, and an all-kill clear.

We slaughtered every monster in the expansion pack, and none of the named bosses survived.

Some bosses were in positions where they didn’t need to be killed.

However, Heosu and I killed every single boss for our bet, resulting in an all-kill clear.

Out of eight bets, I won six.

Thanks to that, I had a lot to collect from Heosu, from capsule room fees to late-night snacks.

It was a day that could be called a jackpot.

Anyway, thanks to that day’s joint broadcast, Heosu successfully returned to Twipod Korea, and I also gained a lot of support.

Additionally, I got some good footage for the video to upload on AkTube.

I even decided on the video title in advance.

– Breaking News: Satan Employment Rate 0%, The Reality of Hell Peninsula

The naming might not be very good, but the editor could change the title if needed.

The title said it all.

It would be a video explaining why demons were losing their place in Korea.

Humans are worse than demons, after all, right?

Anyway.

That day passed, and the next day arrived.

The first broadcast of was on that day.

I woke up around lunchtime because I had drunk until late at night, rubbing my eyes as I got out of bed.

Heosu, who drank with me until the end, was already gone from my house.

I felt slightly disappointed that he left without saying anything, but Jin-hyuk, who woke up earlier than me, showed me a broadcast.

It was Heosu’s broadcast.

It seemed he woke up two hours before I did to prepare for his stream.

I wouldn’t lose in a drinking battle anywhere, but Heosu was truly amazing.

It wasn’t just that I was in bad condition, but Heosu’s drinking capacity was unbelievably monstrous.

He was like a drinking monster.

– “Nice to meet you all. I am the new streamer Kim Heosu. Thank you so much for joining.”

Heosu’s voice sounded flawless.

He was always excellent at managing himself.

He was like that in the past too, but it seemed he became even more thorough as time passed.

I heard that he never missed a broadcast when he streamed in China.

He was an amazing guy in many ways.

A properly crazy guy. I was very pleased that someone like him joined our crew.

“Hyung, why do you look so sour? You’re not upset because Heosu is doing well, right?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Then why do you look so envious?”

“…I

“Seems like you are.”

Currently, Heosu’s viewer count was 70,000.

At first, I thought it was an unbelievable number.

But half of Heosu’s chat was filled with Chinese characters.

“Can you access Twipod Korea from China?”

Jin-hyuk also let out a small exclamation while looking at Heosu’s chat.

Meanwhile, Heosu’s viewer count was rapidly increasing.

“If you bypass with a VPN, you can access it.”

“Isn’t that illegal?”

“They say it’s rarely caught.”

That’s how China is.

As long as you don’t insult China while using a VPN, there’s little chance of getting punished for using it.

I chuckled while looking at Jin-hyuk’s chat.

– Foreign invasion

– What? There weren’t any Chinese viewers when Shia streamed? With Shia’s popularity, shouldn’t Chinese viewers be swarming?

– ㅋㅋ Shia actually blocks all foreign IPs because he’s scared ㅋㅋ

– ㅋㅋ

– Ah ㅋㅋ but Chinese viewers are really scary… Heosu must have been really popular in China.

It was a dreadful hybrid chat that I had never seen on any Twipod stream before.

Even the Evil Gang, who never lost in terms of firepower, was getting overwhelmed.

More shocking than the overwhelming Chinese chat firepower was something else.

It was the donation firepower matching the chat firepower.

‘KelberosLove’ has donated 1,000,000 won!

[Kelberos, congratulations on returning to Korea. It’s a shame you won’t be streaming in China anymore, but I’ll always watch you here.]

Translation technology had really improved.

Compared to the past, the translations looked much better, and million-won donations were pouring in explosively.

Was this truly the scale of the continent?

There must be a reason people dream of the Chinese dream.

I watched Heosu’s stream with a displeased look, and seeing my expression, Jin-hyuk sighed and shook his head.

“Hyung, why don’t you dream of the Chinese dream too?”

“Are you crazy? If I dream of the Chinese dream, I might die in my sleep. Have you ever been torn apart by an axe in a dream?”

“Then should I dream it instead?”

“If you enter China, the Evil Gang might spread rumors that you’re my brother.”

We would practically be on China’s blacklist.

No matter how quietly Jin-hyuk streamed, if the news spread that he was my brother…

It would be a disaster.

Jin-hyuk nodded with a cold sweat at my words.

“Indeed, Korea is the best.”

Jin-hyuk unintentionally became patriotic.

So, I watched Heosu’s stream for a while, nodding with satisfaction.

The donation amount made me envious, but in the long run, it wasn’t bad.

Knowing Heosu’s personality, he wouldn’t abandon his Chinese viewers.

He might even run separate chat rooms for Chinese and Korean viewers.

In other words, it meant he wouldn’t share the viewer pool with me, Na-young, or Owong.

But since Heosu was in our crew, the rumor that we were on the same side would spread, and if that reached Chinese ears, it would not be well-received. �

Well, Heosu joined our crew knowing that reaction.

He would handle it well.

Maybe he was better at taking care of things than I was.

“Today is the first broadcast of , right?”

Jin-hyuk asked while looking at me, and I nodded and replied.

“Yeah.”

I didn’t know what the viewer ratings would be, but I hoped they would be good.

I nodded lightly while pouring water into the cup noodles.

#### 2.

The first broadcast of started with a quality viewership rating of 5%.

It was definitely an outstanding figure among the programs of VRN, a virtual reality specialty broadcasting station.

5%.

Personally, it didn’t seem like a high number, but according to Sung-jae and PD Sung, it was quite impressive.

They said 5% was a very encouraging figure.

As soon as the first episode of ended, I started my stream leisurely.

was a program that started at 7 PM and ended at 8:30 PM.

As soon as I started my stream, the members of the Evil Gang who watched began to join quickly.

– Hello, our Evil Gang

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Thanks to Shia, I got to be on TV, I feel so good

– I bragged to my parents about my chat being on the broadcast ㅎㅎ

– ㅠㅠㅠ Parents’ hearts must be breaking, you punk!

– ㅠㅠ Son… please stop just watching streams at home and go outside for once?

– Ah ㅋㅋ I feel like swearing right from the start

Most of the Evil Gang was already excited.

It was understandable since my chat window was prominently featured on .

#### 2.

Of course, only the chats whose content could be moderated were broadcasted under the strict monitoring of PD Sung and the production team.

Nevertheless, the Evil Gang seemed satisfied with just that.

Everyone was eagerly typing in the chat.

I watched them with a smile.

“Did you enjoy the broadcasts? If any of you watched the entire episode, leave some reviews on SNS. It’s not hard, right?”

The first episode turned out much more interesting than I expected.

From checking the synchronization rate of the cast members to the semi-final match of the against Japan.

In fact, whether it’s internet broadcasting or cable TV, Korea-Japan matches are always a hit content.

Thanks to that, the viewer ratings remained high until the end, which made me feel great.

– What’s with Shia being the top real-time search term?

– Wow ㄷㄷ;;;;

– No longer my little Shia

– Is this the first time Shia is the top search term?

– Shia is world-class now, world-class

Upon hearing the viewers, I checked the portal site’s search terms and saw that I was indeed ranked first.

It also proved how sensational was.

After closing the web browser window that popped up, I continued speaking in a satisfied voice.

“If I get time later, I should do a content where I read internet article comments.”

Some streamers have content where they read internet articles, so I should make something similar.

Great.

Today, instead of gaming, I planned to end the broadcast with mostly talks and announcements.

I started late today and felt a bit tired.

Maybe it was because my hangover hadn’t completely cleared up.

Today was the day to inform viewers about the second fan meeting.

I had already told viewers there would be an important announcement, and perhaps because of that notice, people were joining quickly.

The number of viewers surpassed 60,000 in no time.

The growth rate was much steeper than usual.

Moreover, there were a lot of new viewers joining, which was an encouraging achievement.

After leisurely gauging the atmosphere, I slowly began to speak.

“Today’s broadcast won’t be very long. I streamed during this week’s holiday, and there’s something I need to discuss with you all.”

A special video commissioned from an AkTube editor for today.

It was a promotional video for the second fan meeting.

I used a linked program to stream the promotional video.

[Hello, Evil Gang bastards. Thanks to your overwhelming disgust for me, I’ve prepared a new fan meeting. I’ll rake in sponsorships and support by selling you out, so only those who want to participate should join.]

The video started with my arrogant voice.

A large-scale content using GTB, an open-world game with extreme freedom.

Thanks to the editor’s excellent editing skills, the splendid visual added to it, creating an appealing video even to me.

The video was three minutes long.

After the broadcast ended, it would be uploaded to AkTube and recruit participants simultaneously.

As soon as the video finished playing, I continued speaking to the viewers.

“As you saw in the video, we’ll be accepting applicants for the second fan meeting. The scale will be larger than the first one… but fewer people will be able to participate in the game.”

The scale of the second fan meeting was set for 100 people, and thanks to Seong-su hyung’s SD Corporation and ChickenBox, the venue was provided.

Thanks to that, I only needed to make the announcement.

“There’s no participation fee, and lunch and dinner will be provided. But you need to be selected first, right? We’ll gather exactly 100 people, regardless of age or gender. Na-young, Heosu, and Owong will also join. We’re planning to hold a crew formation ceremony as well.”

Then the chat window went wild again.

– X Jackpot Event ㄷㄷ

– Only our Evil Gang takes such good care of fans

– Just brilliant

– Even Satan is defeated by our Evil G

– This is why we can’t hate Shia!

– Barmaaaaa! One Shia-pong added here!!

Good reactions.

Oh, and it’s time to mention one thing to note.

With a sly smile, I addressed the viewers.

“Right. There’s one thing I need to tell the winners of the event; you’ll have to sign a pledge when you come. I think you know what kind of pledge it is.”

As my words went out over the broadcast, the chat window filled with question marks.

And among them, numerous perverts started to run wild.

– ????????

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– ???ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Crazy bastardㅋ

– Ah ㅋㅋ I was too lazy to go, but if you go that far, I can’t resist

After the chats quickly flowed, a viewer spoke to me using a donation.

‘Ripatman’sMiddleLeg’ donated 10,000 won!

[I’m a minor, so do I need my parents’ seal to sign a body abandonment pledge? I’ll get permission from my parents. Hyung… please wait a bit longer.]
