Chapter 159: Shia’s Secret Lessons (3)
The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting
Except for the point that they would announce the co-MC for the next shoot, the first shoot ended on a very uneventful note.
It wasnât very intense from the beginning.
Producer Son said there were many villains lined up who could surpass Dusik, and he advised us to take something like a calming pill before the shoot.
Did he say we might die of frustration?
Anyway, after the first shoot ended, Dusikâs new channel was launched.
Dusikâs channel name was slightly changed.
To evoke nostalgia for the older generation, it was called .
I wasnât sure, but surprisingly, there used to be a textbook called in the old elementary school curriculum.
Honestly, who would relate to that title, but three videos were uploaded as soon as the channel started.
A video of Dusik massaging his motherâs shoulders, a video of him carrying the bags of friends who were weak, and a video of him pushing the cart of an elderly woman collecting recyclables.
These three videos were uploaded to Dusikâs channel.
It was a tremendous transformation for Dusik, who had always dreamed of becoming a stimulating and spicy Mituber.
The number of subscribers surpassed 30,000 in just one day.
This was thanks to my support fire through broadcasting and Mituve, and the discussions that started circulating on online communities.
It was a relief.
If his viewers hadnât increased even after his reformation, I might have given up on Dusikâs side.
However, my solution was a success, and Dusikâs channel began to grow very quickly.
â âThe elementary school student has a very kind heartã ã Please continue to grow like this!â
â âI happened to come across this because the student was so admirable. How can he be so kind?â
â âã ã ã ã ã ã ã ã ã Dusik successfully whitewashed his character.â
â âStill, seeing Dusik working so hard to help others and smiling, heâs still a kid.â
â âHe changed a lot after being educated by Shia.â
â âIf you meet someone crazier than yourself, you inevitably changeã ã .â
I couldnât confirm it exactly, but the influx to Dusikâs channel wasnât just from my viewers.
Some parents who showed strong signs of their age in the comments also joined.
Parents of the generation who witnessed the good deeds of a large child.
All of them left warm comments and clicked the subscribe button.
I nodded in satisfaction as I checked Dusikâs channel instead of AkTube.
âThanks to you, Dusikâs Mituve is on the rise.â
Jin-hyuk, who was watching Dusikâs growth with me, said enviously.
âYou said youâd help last time too.â
âOur brothersâ vlog?â
âYeah.â
âDo you think people will like it if we vlog together? I absolutely donât think so.â
Jin-hyukâs only advantage is that heâs very logical and smart.
Indeed, as Jin-hyuk said, our brothersâ vlog would likely be unimaginably boring.
Itâs better to give up on such content quickly.
Vlogs are not the kind of videos that suit us brothers.
It would be better to have the crew gather and shoot a joint video.
I yawned a few times and nudged Jin-hyukâs back with my foot as I spoke.
âWhat happened to that friend you said youâd introduce to us last time?â
âOh, that friend?â
âYeah.â
Jin-hyuk had said he would introduce someone to our crew.
I was waiting since he said they lived in Changwon.
Jin-hyuk nodded as if it was nothing and answered.
âHe suddenly said heâs going to enlist in the army. He asked if you wanted to enlist together.â
âEnlist together, not bad. Are you going to join the army?â
Jin-hyukâs position is quite ambiguous.
No matter how much cancer has been completely conquered in this era, if he played his cards right, he could be exempted or join as a public service worker. �
Jin-hyuk was once a terminal cancer patient.
Seeing Jin-hyuk moving so actively now, no one would imagine he had been a cancer patient.
Thatâs how much cancer has become a disease that can be solved with money.
After thinking for a moment, Jin-hyuk shrugged and answered.
âIâll just go when the draft notice arrives.â
Letâs see.
Come to think of it, I have to go renew the promotional model contract with the Ministry of National Defense soon.
I may look like this, but Iâm one of the promotional ambassadors for the Ministry of National Defense.
A contract made after âthat incident.â
The Ministry of National Defense requested our company to shoot another commercial recently.
Of course, I answered yes.
I have to shoot the program, shoot commercials, and do various other things.
I lay on the sofa, talking about various things with Jin-hyuk.
Ring ring.
The phone always rang incessantly on my days off at home.
No one called during the broadcast, but who could it be today?
âHello?â
As soon as I answered, Sung-jaeâs voice came through the phone.
â âYes, Chan-sik. You need to come to the company soon with Jin-hyuk.â
âDid Jin-hyuk cause any trouble?â
âWhy do you always suspect me first?â
âSung-jae is calling us. Did you get sued?â
Jin-hyuk had been working as a streamer under Chicken Box since last month.
Being suddenly called together made me anxious.
But my worries were unfounded.
Sung-jaeâs next words brought a sigh of relief and warmth simultaneously.
â âFans of Chan-sik and Jin-hyuk sent a lot of packages. There are quite a few household items for the new house. Ah! And an anonymous viewer sent a refrigerator. Iâm envious. Itâs a new refrigerator from L Company released earlier this yearâ¦.â
The move was just around the corner.
It seemed the viewers didnât forget about my moving date.
I smiled contentedly at Sung-jaeâs words and replied.
âIn that case⦠shall we go on the moving day? We should ask the moving company.â
â âPhoenix will help with the capsule relocation. The move is finally near.â
Capsules are the most critical equipment to care for during a move.
As they are the culmination of cutting-edge technology, they could easily break if mishandled.
Originally, the relocation service was paid, but Phoenix offered it for free.
I smiled in satisfaction as I watched the preparations for the move.
Oh, right.
Since I was talking to Sung-jae, I had one more request.
âSung-jae.â
â âYes, feel free to speak.â
âThe move is the day after tomorrow, right? Could you send someone to help with filming on time?â
Moving isnât a common content.
A live housewarming content.
Thatâs what I could legally extract donations from viewers.
Sung-jae responded as if it were natural.
â âGot it. See you the day after tomorrow.â
âThank you.â
Finally, the move was near.
I finished the call and stretched lightly, nodding my head.
The day to welcome the new house was not far off.
6.
The day before the move.
After organizing all the belongings in preparation for the move, Jin-hyuk and I started a broadcast on my Twipod account.
Although I had collaborated with many others, it seemed I hadnât often done it with Jin-hyuk.
We were close by and brothers, so it might have been unconscious.
Honestly, the reason I hadnât collaborated much with Jin-hyuk was to be considerate of him.
Our viewer bases were distinctly different.
â âShahaâ
â âShaha Jinhaâ
â âã ã ã ã How come youâre streaming together today?â
â âAh, so tomorrow is the dayã ã . You must be feeling really restl
â âThat day?â
â âã ã ã ã , he announced it last time that heâs moving tomorrow.â
Despite this, as soon as we started the broadcast, viewers quickly began to join.
Jin-hyuk and I glanced at the chat window and nodded our heads.
Especially Jin-hyuk, who sighed deeply and said to me, âI can never get used to the Evil Gang no matter how many times I see themâ¦â
The chat window was overly intense for Jin-hyuk, who had a calm demeanor and a high percentage of female viewers.
In response to Jin-hyukâs comment, viewers started getting excited, asking if there was a ânewbie with a sexy scent,â and soon, some extreme perverts began to voice support, trying to appeal to Jin-hyuk.
As expected, today was another mental asylum.
Recently, my broadcast has been nicknamed the No. 1 Psychiatric Ward, and I couldnât help but agree.
With all these crazy people everywhere, itâs obviously a psychiatric ward.
I glanced at the chat window and began to speak.
âThe reason I started the broadcast today is just to say thank you to you guys and talk about various things.â
â
â âHyung! Wait a second! Iâm going to the convenience store to buy some beer and soju!!â
â âArenât you playing games today?â
â âItâs a bit disappointing that youâre not playing gamesã ã â
â âI really like these occasional storytime broadcasts.â
The viewersâ reactions were quite favorable.
Indeed, it had been a while since I took the time to relax like this.
Perhaps because of that, the viewers started joking around and interacting with us.
Sometimes I wondered, are we playing with them, or are they playing with us?
âPatriot Mission Manâ donated 100,000 won!
[Are you going to broadcast the move tomorrow?]
Seong-su hyungâs significant donation.
With that donation, Jin-hyuk and I stood up simultaneously and bowed deeply.
âOh my, Chairman!â
âOf course, if you wish, weâll start early tomorrow morning.â
One thing that had changed about Jin-hyuk from the past was his significantly increased enthusiasm for reactions.
He used to have terrible reactions, which worried me a lot, but now he reacts in a way that makes it worth donating.
He needs to be like this for people to donate.
I bowed my head again towards the camera and said.
âI was planning on it anyway, so Iâve prepared all the filming drones, Chairman.â
I couldnât miss the chance to pull this off properly.
After Seong-su hyungâs first donation, viewers started throwing in small donations, bringing small joys.
Surprisingly, it seemed that donations flowed better when we werenât playing games.
It might be because I could react more enthusiastically than when playing games.
After a wave of donations, I sat down and nodded lightly.
âStill, a lot has happened in this house. Donât you think so, Jin-hyuk?â
âYeah.â
Has it been six years?
It was the first house we barely managed to get after our parents passed away.
Thanks to the incident in , we were able to get this house, and it became a reliable sanctuary for Jin-hyuk and me.
The house was slightly old and small, but thanks to it, we were able to come this far.
I glanced around.
My room was a bit small for a joint broadcast, so we were broadcasting from Jin-hyukâs room.
Even so, as soon as I was discharged from the military, we redecorated, and we lived frugally.
âI think Iâll remember it a lot.â
âThe place weâre moving to is very different from here.â
âThatâs right.â
We were moving from Gwangmyeong to Gwangmyeong.
From the old town of Gwangmyeong to the area near KTX Gwangmyeong Station.
The university hospital was also nearby, so we could check Jin-hyukâs health regularly.
We were moving to a good house.
The contract money I received as an exclusive advertising model for SD Corporation and the fees for appearing on two cable TV programs.
I even advanced the down payment for this move, so I might have to work like a slave for a while.
If the house we put on the market hadnât sold, the move might have been far off.
I tried to calculate various financial matters in my head, but quickly gave up.
Having taken out a loan, there was no need to angle things.
One thing was certain.
I would have to work like a slave for a while?
It was a moment that made me realize once again how hard it is to get a house in Korea.
âIâm really grateful to you guys.â
For the first time in a long while, I conveyed my sincere gratitude to the viewers.
Honestly, the reason I could come this far was thanks to those perverted Evil Gang members.
The grateful guys who settled into my broadcast after Dong-su hyungâs push.
There were times when they crossed the line excessively, but I was no different.
From patriotic content to other things that other streamers wouldnât easily attempt.
But the Evil Gang always supported me wholeheartedly.
Even now, thinking back, they were truly grateful guys.
I gulped down a can of beer in front of me and continued.
âIâll work hard on the broadcast after the move too.â
â âDonât force out the tearsã ã â
â âã¹ã ã ã ã Do you think weâll cry just because youâre trying to move us? Oh?ã ã ã ã â¦
â âHyungã ã Are you retiring like this? Not yetã ã â
â âBreaking news) Our villain is retiringâ
â âItâs understandable to return to real life after getting a houseã ã â
â âOh dearâ¦â¦ are these tearsâ¦â¦?â
Why are these bastards suddenly trying to retire me?
âHyung.â
âWhat?â
ââ¦â¦Iâll try to follow in your footsteps. Rest easy.â
Jin-hyuk, who was next to me, deliberately added fuel to the fire, patting my back.
This cheeky bratâ¦â¦
âDonât worry. Iâll keep broadcasting until I die. Got it? Later, Iâll even have my child broadcast my funeral.â
ââ¦â¦Will you even have a child?â
âCanât you shut up?â
See, thatâs how he makes fun of me from time to time?
While talking about various things with the viewers, another donation came in.
âHihihihiâ donated 10,000 won!
[Noã ã None of that matters. What color underwear are you going to wear for the move tomorrow?ã ã ]
Geez, these perverted bastards.
