Even when entangled with major corporations, reality remains unchanged
Before I seriously started internet broadcasting in the past.
When I told a friend it was hard to make it big in streaming, they said something like this.
-Can’t you just get under a Major Corporation and do some collabs? Then you’d get trickle-down viewers and stuff, right? Networking is the key, isn’t it?
As soon as I heard those words, I regretted telling my friend it was difficult.
Because my friend had no idea how internet broadcasting actually worked.
‘Gaining viewers by collaborating with Major Corporations? Does that even make sense?’
Viewership absolutely doesn’t grow that way.
Sure, you might build recognition.
But viewership and recognition were completely different stories.
Major Corporation viewers like watching Major Corporations play around with small streamers.
They don’t actually like the small streamers themselves.
Their Camera focus is thoroughly on the Major Corporation’s perspective.
They won’t leave their comfortable spot to watch groveling on a small streamer’s channel.
‘Leaving the comfort of a Major Corporation’s Broadcast Room to specifically seek out a small streamer’s broadcast? When the Major Corporation’s broadcast is their main base?’
Main bases really don’t change easily.
In that sense.
‘Did I come to this Server for nothing?’
In a place where people with at least ten thousand followers easily gathered.
A nobody with less than 500 followers came here with a Special Invitation Ticket.
Thinking about it more deeply, it seemed difficult to just suck up viewers easily.
‘Besides, I don’t even do YouTube.’
In the worst case, I could just appear as a clown in Major Corporations’ YouTube content.
Get some laughs as a supporting character and then be forgotten on that route.
Of course, collaborating with Major Corporations does bring some viewership.
That’s an undeniable fact.
‘But the problem is these bastards aren’t normal viewers.’
Most of them are scopes.
They plant sniper scopes in my Broadcast Room.
‘If this bastard dares to do anything shitty to our master, we’ll immediately report it to the Community’ – that’s how they wait and watch.
Of course, they might end up liking what they see, donate, and stay.
But what are the odds of that? Especially coming from a female cam broadcast to watch a male broadcast?
The reason I’m suddenly laying out this long logic is.
[Current Viewer Count: 230]
– Mungspy broke 200!!!!!!!
– Whoa
– Whoa
– Whoa
– Whoa
– Mumbling jumbled beekeeping host departure hahahahaha Mumbling jumbled beekeeping host departure hahahahaha Mumbling jumbled beekeeping host departure hahahahaha Mumbling jumbled beekeeping host departure hahahahaha
– Ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok ogogok
– How can we live if it rises like this How can we live if it rises like this How can we live if it rises like this How can we live if it rises like this How can we live if it rises like this How can we live if it rises like this
– Isn’t this a pump stock? Isn’t this a pump stock? Isn’t this a pump stock? Isn’t this a pump stock? Isn’t this a pump stock? Isn’t this a pump stock?
– Turret spinning whirrrr whirrrr zoom~~ Sorry for the words but busy influx before~~~ Please give me some ㄲㅈ~~~~~
Because my Chat Room was completely destroyed.
Realistically speaking, it went from about 146 to 230 people, so roughly 100 people increased.
“Ah… it’s already getting dizzy.”
The viewers seemed to have many complaints even about that, as they were busily spinning the Turret.
Of course, that didn’t mean these Babin influx viewers would leave.
Because their purpose wasn’t purely to watch my Broadcast.
– Viewers increased but chat stays the same!
– The concert was ruined but the small-timer stays the same!
– Even in that moment when all of you gave up! I, Attorney Mung, vow to never let go of this case!
– Hmm if it’s Attorney Mung, I acknowledge it
– You can trust and rely on Moongbyeon ㅇㅇ
– I only trust you!!! Attorney Mung!!!
– Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go go go!
They were simply aiming their scopes purely to clip moments if I acted strangely toward Babin.
‘So this all happened within 3 minutes of receiving Babin’s, no, Barabin’s call?’
In the time it takes to make one cup of instant noodles, my Broadcast was completely ruined.
Is this how plankton feels standing before a whale, or the emotions of krill shrimp?
‘But running away doesn’t make sense.’
A Major Corporation personally offered me RP.
A small-timer with good instincts should perfectly play along.
Since I, Yoo Mungi, would be a corpse without my instincts, I immediately moved my character to where Barabin’s character was.
Vrooooom.
The screen showing the Taxi heading toward the location Barabin had marked.
It felt like a pig being dragged to the Slaughterhouse.
Having to go to an RP meeting spot directly marked by a Major Corporation.
‘But why did she suddenly call me?’
If a female streamer called without any buildup, viewers would be uncomfortable.
A Major Corporation streamer wouldn’t simply want to experience host bar service.
I kept thinking while moving my character to the coordinates.
“Ah.”
As soon as I entered the Building, I realized why I was called.
-“That bastard’s the one!”
-“He’s the one who beat us up!”
-“He even stole our taxi fare so our account went into the negative!”
The 4 people I met at the beginning.
Those 4 people I no longer saw as customers since they said they had no money.
All 4 of them became gang members.
And the boss of that gang is currently.
-“So it’s you, the bastard who messed with my boys?”
It was Barabin, the RP of major corporation streamer Babin.
– Caw caw Upper Moon 2! Upper Moon 2! Barabin appears! Barabin appears!
– Mungz’s second life crisis has occurred lololololol
– After Lexusivo comes Bauma ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– After the hospital devil, now it’s the gang devil ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
“Ah.”
Did I choose the wrong host bar RP?
It’s hard to survive.
++++++
The most important thing in an RP server is buildup.
Buildup is the lifeblood that keeps RP going.
It was the driving force that could sustain content in this kind of large collaborative server.
In that sense.
‘The situation is pretty good?’
Babin, who had planned the gang boss RP, was very pleased with the current situation.
While looking for people to form a gang from the beginning.
She somehow came to know the victims of that strange place called the host bar taxi.
Right after deciding to form a gang with those victims.
A story where they call that very perpetrator to judge him.
– Hahahahaha
– The victims’ gathering became a gang
– She’s a proper madam alright
The viewers seemed to like it quite a bit too.
So Babin watched the current situation with great satisfaction.
Moreover.
-“Hey, why are you calling me bastard from the first meeting? Sigh… Just looking at you, you seem like a gang with no money, can you even afford the service fee?”
She really liked the other party’s reaction too.
Lee Mung-ryong who had properly established his host bar RP.
‘How shocked I was when I actually saw his face cam.’
I really learned for the first time that a person could be this handsome.
I thought I’d been streaming for quite a long time.
But his looks were the most overwhelming among all the men I’d seen so far.
He was at a level that could easily slap most male celebrities.
It’s immediately understandable why he did host bar RP.
“It’s not about the service fee – you hit our gang members because you had no money, don’t you understand the situation?”
-“…The ones who don’t understand the situation seem to be you guys? What kind of gang do broke people run, you don’t even have guns, right?”
“What, what?”
– Babin seems like the real deal?
– This isn’t RP, he must be a real active host bar worker
– Honestly, he’s kind of scary when he talks?
Moreover, he’s really good at RP too.
-“You don’t even have guns… no, I came because you told me to come, but you’re playing boss with broke losers.”
– Gasp
– Gasp
– Gasp
– It’s scary when guys raise their voice like that ㅠㅠ
– Reminds me of school days
– Just hearing that voice gives me PTSD
– But still though lol
– Hahahahahahaha
– Hahahahaha
Click.
“Why wouldn’t I have a gun? And I have money too.”
The RP character Barabin already had a gun and some money.
How did he get them? Because he drew them through Premium Gacha Tickets!
How did he draw from 1% odds? Because he received about 30 million won in donations in just one day!
– It’s legendary how he did mine labor and immediately formed a gang as soon as he got a gun
– All the money I had went to gang startup costs lolololololol
– This is the result of 24-hour labor
– It was hard for us to watch ㅇㅇ
– Now he has both a gun and money, how will this turn out
The viewers now anticipated Lee Mung-ryung’s character’s reaction.
How would he respond?
Would he lie flat on the ground? Or beg for his life?
How would he resolve this situation in an entertaining way?
That thought was brief.
-“Room service, one million won.”
– ?
– ?
– ?
– ?
– ?
At those words that suddenly popped out.
“Huh?”
Including Babin.
-“Huh?”
-“What?”
-“Ah?”
The other 3 gang members also made dumbfounded sounds.
++++++
– Broadcast selfies?
– Suddenly?
– What do you mean you’re selling broadcast selfies?
– So you’re saying you’re selling broadcasting station selfies… photos of your face?
I had seriously thought about it.
How to seriously expand the host bar RP.
Just simply riding taxis and motorcycles in GTA while playing house?
Of course, that was possible too.
I could have fun doing that while trying to charm female characters through RP.
But that would only build recognition without having much effect on establishing a clear presence.
‘I need to make the most of my handsome face.’
So what could I do?
Something I could produce endlessly from my room and sell infinitely.
That was selling my selfies.
– Are you a female cam streamer?
– Male cam streamers sell them too though
– But is Bangsel actually insane lmaooooooo
“For reference, this is market price. This is the cheapest it’ll ever be. For just one million won, you can exclusively own a photo of host bar Lee Mung-ryong’s perfect face.”
-“Wh, what?”
I could feel the other party getting flustered.
Come to think of it, are they all mainstream streamers?
Well, both Lera and Babin are technically mainstream if you really think about it.
‘But I’m from the underground?’
And a bottom-tier underground streamer with less than 500 followers at that.
Selling selfies in a place like this? I really don’t mind at all.
Besides, even these large servers eventually reach the limits of RP.
Later on, you’ll see maid cafes and whatnot where even men actually wear maid outfits and do business.
So would there be any problem with me selling broadcast selfies?
“I’m selling my real face. You can meet the true appearance of me, Lee Mung-ryong, exclusively on Star Rating through Star Rating friend sharing.”
Take a selfie, send the image to GTA, and send the selfie via Star Rating DM – that’s it.
It could be seen as completing an infinite power source that could generate in-game currency with just one click.
– Crazy bastard
– Mungimungi, is this right?
– Is this how a small streamer survives?
– G R E A T S M A L L S T R E A M E R
– Caw! Caw! Upper Moon 2 Barabin about to be defeated! Upper Moon 2 Barabin about to be defeated!
“Of course, dates are also available right now. Various versions too – I can call you noona, there’s also nunim, boss… miss too… younger sister version, same-age version are all possible.”
– How’s the taste of customized rental Mungchin
– Babin’s toxic viewers trembling~? Babin’s toxic viewers trembling~? Babin’s toxic viewers trembling~? Babin’s toxic viewers trembling~? Babin’s toxic viewers trembling~?
– How dare you invite a small streamer to a Large Server? Let’s see how it tastes How dare you invite a small streamer to a Large Server? Let’s see how it tastes How dare you invite a small streamer to a Large Server? Let’s see how it tastes How dare you invite a small streamer to a Large Server? Let’s see how it tastes How dare you invite a small streamer to a Large Server? Let’s see how it tastes
For some reason I don’t understand, the Chat Room was immediately destroyed again.
Why are they doing this again?
Anyway, with my very serious host bar RP coming out.
-“Th, then… I’ll go finish my Taxi work first… if you have a Menu, send me a separate DM and I’ll follow back.”
“Yes, understood.”
The other person sent me away while flustered.
Since it was a major one, it seemed like they sent me away to make a careful decision first.
You’re getting a taste of the deep underground, so RP isn’t easy, right? This is where you really need to buy Selfies.
Can you properly handle the taste of underground Selfies? How dare you, being a Major Corporation?
How’s the taste of under 500 followers small streamer underground room Selfie RP.
‘Still, this is the composure of a Major Corporation… even when flustered by RP, the viewers watch with ease…’
I too will definitely become big someday.
With that thought, after driving the Taxi out of the Warehouse.
“I realized this approach won’t work. Activating Plan C.”
– Hahahahahahaha
– Hahahahahahaha
– Mungi, you have plans for everything?
– Can we know in advance how many plans you have
– I think it’s improvisation hyung
– Still, the fact that it all somehow makes sense is fucking hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I immediately explained my next plan to the viewers.
“Since this is an outcall service, I realized the risk of being exposed to gangs is too high. I’m going to open a Shop.”
– But how are you going to open a Shop?
– No, you were doing host bar stuff while driving Taxi because you had no money in the first place, so how will you get money to open a Shop?
– What are you going to do
“I really didn’t want to use this method…”
– ?
– ?
– ?
– Don’t build suspense, just tell us what it is
“I’ll cling to my benefactor… who got me into Yoran Garden.”
– You crazy bastard
– Are you even human?
– Hahahahahahahahaha
If I had clung to them from day one, there would obviously have been talk.
But now I’ve been through experiences with Lera, Dal-geun, and Babin.
Which means my RP has been proven to some extent within the server.
I’ve even been to prison, so what reason would there be not to seek out police connections here?
Following that logic.
“I’ll properly educate my benefactor.”
– What?
– ?
– What are you trying to teach, you little punk hahahaha
– How are you gonna do that
“That you shouldn’t carelessly take in black-haired beasts.”
– You crazy bastard hahahahaha
– They saved you and now you’re boldly demanding a bundle too
– Is it you again with the big audacity?
– How dare you invite a scrub to the server? Time for punishment~ How dare you invite a scrub to the server? Time for punishment~ How dare you invite a scrub to the server? Time for punishment~ How dare you invite a scrub to the server? Time for punishment~
Our benefactor, shall we check their account balance to see how much money they’ve made?
