Tell me right now

『 Congratulations! You have obtained a Shop Opening Permit! 』

“Huh?”

– ?

– ?

– ?

– ?

As soon as the Shop Opening Permit acquisition message appeared before my eyes.

My thoughts stopped for about 3 seconds.

And immediately after.

【 Mission Success! Shop Opening Permit Draw – 100,000 won 】

I clicked mission success without hesitation.

– Hahahahahaha

– Hahahahaha

– He’s clicking mission success with a frozen expression

– Hahahaha a rigid brain and capitalist fingers

– This bastard is really crazy

“Keu… Shit…! Th, this is insane!”

I couldn’t speak properly.

No way, you get this from a Single Draw?

You hit the 1% in one try?

‘Then why didn’t my Cinderella come out like this back then? Yuno…? Evernight?

You damn bastards.

If you had come out like this, I wouldn’t have been poor.

Leaving behind the games that had now become memories.

I immediately continued drawing consecutively to not miss this lucky streak unfolding before my eyes.

“Then I’ll keep this momentum going and continue drawing!”

『 Congratulations! You have obtained a Basic Vehicle Selection Ticket! 』

『 Congratulations! You have obtained 100 Yoran Coins! 』

『 Congratulations! You have obtained a Server Megaphone! 』

『 You have obtained 100 Yoran Food. 』

『 Congratulations! You have obtained SIG M7! 』

『 You have obtained 100 Yoran Food. 』

『 Congratulations! You have obtained a Title Selection Ticket! 』

– ?

– Whoa what’s this

– Huh

– Isn’t this rigged?

– Drew 8 times and 2 of them were Yoran Food lololol

– Wow, normally shouldn’t all 8 out of 8 draws be Yoran Food?

– Car, coins, gun, title, megaphone, shop all came out what the hell lolololololol

– He got everything you can get from Premium Gacha Tickets, this is legendary

– This might actually get a server-level inspection

– Is it okay for a bottom-tier streamer to get this lucky? shivering

– Bottom-tier support funds are legit

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, Ttaranta.

[ Crazy bastard crazy bastard lololol is this guy finally using up 3 years’ worth of luck all at once? ]

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, Gongguribongbong.

[ The sad Mungi who had to stop content because he ran out of money when trying to do gacha broadcasts is no more yeah ]

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, BlackMaBirdRexCoraidonDeletePlease.

[ So what are you doing now ]

Pouring reactions and consecutive thousand-won punches flying in.

And filling up the brain.

‘Hheut… hoooot…!’

Dopamine.

Actually, I had a lot of worries.

Among monsters who easily achieve at least 50,000 followers.

What could a bottom-tier streamer with barely 500 followers do and how much could they achieve.

No matter how hard you work under others, in the end the influx doesn’t increase.

What you gain through Major Corporation collaborations is recognition, not viewer count.

To escape being bottom-tier, you need to take the initiative and push forward with something.

Beyond just a strong presence, something that surpasses even that.

You need to give viewers entertainment worth coming to your room specifically to watch.

‘And that entertainment isn’t fun that comes from being next to someone… but fun that the broadcaster creates themselves…’

Ah, my thoughts are getting complicated.

Actually, I’m not really sure.

“I should just open the host bar right away. Open Mung-ryong’s Host Bar, recruit players. Get ready to seriously suck up money.”

It’s time to start the full-scale host bar concept.

Then naturally, a question follows.

– How are you going to recruit players?

– No mean comments about who would join under a bottom-tier streamer

– Does it make sense for a mid-tier company to join under a neighborhood corner shop?

– No saying that Mungi can’t even be called a neighborhood corner shop

– To match Mungi’s level, wouldn’t it be at least neighborhood street gambling level

– lolololololololol

How should we recruit players?

But actually, this was too easy a problem.

Day 2 of Yoran Garden Server, properly established RP but not quite grasping how to utilize it.

Among countless people, suddenly a host bar shop appears to recruit players?

Of course there would be many people willing to do it.

Even police or gang members could meet up saying they’re just doing side jobs.

Therefore.

“First, I’ll post a server announcement, and everyone will come to my Byeolstar. Then I’ll recruit players through Byeolstar live. This is Plan D.”

– Perfect Plan D lol

– We’ve been waiting

– Mung-ie

– Have you arrived

– Your emperor, host bar Mung-ie has returned

– Wow, I’m so cool that I’m clapping for myself ㅠ.

I immediately started preparing to set up the host bar.

“First, post the announcement…”

Immediately turned Byeolstar live ON.

“You unemployed losers who think you’re somewhat handsome, can talk decently, and are good at taking women’s money, attention! I’ve come to provide you with jobs.”

Now, let’s start recruiting players.

++++++

“Ah, a really funny person has entered the server.”

– Hahahahahahaha

– Hahahahahahaha

– Hahahahahahahaha

Right after Lee Mung-ryong’s announcement and broadcast swept through Yoran Garden Server.

Kim Tteul-geun, who was playing police on the server, broadcast name Dal-geun, barely suppressed his laughter and continued speaking.

“He was doing a live and suddenly called them unemployed losers… then later said side jobs were possible and kept bowing his head, it was so funny.”

– Agreed

– Player recruitment goes live while store promotions go through server announcements lol

– Wow but seeing him use the Shop Opening Permit right after getting it, was this his plan from the beginning

– But this has really low probability and he just pulled it out like that

– Watching the live, saying don’t worry about getting robbed because he has guns and cars is fucking hilarious

“He really seems to have prepared a lot, at this level… it’s amazing? Should I try being a player?”

– Huh

– Sorry but have you seen Mung-ryong’s face? The comparison is harsh

– No Dal-geun, no matter what, you don’t have the looks to be a player, do you?

“No, why? Why are you objecting so harshly. My mom said I’m handsome? You’re not going to contradict my mom, are you?”

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Gasp

– The creator’s statement is definitely highly credible though ㅇㅇ

– Ah I’ll acknowledge Dal-geun MOM

– Yeah yeah that’s true Dal-geun Queen views Dal-geun very favorably

– You really hit the nail on the head

– This is really a perfect analysis from Dal-geun creator’s perspective? I’m shocked

When Dal-geun thought about it seriously, he felt this host bar concept was pretty good.

‘Playing as a worker while just forming various relationships, it’s actually a life server… Police, Gang, Hospital – these three form the structure… so there should be at least one neutral zone.’

After trying the server a few times like this.

The neutral zones that would eventually emerge were obvious.

Repair Shop, Restaurant, Taxi Union, etc.

Even those places might not remain neutral zones.

Moreover, there was no RP that took the host bar concept this seriously.

Cases of actually opening a shop were even rarer.

‘This could be an opportunity to give viewers something fresh.’

He thought he should try this kind of thing when the opportunity arose.

And at the same time.

There were about 4 major male streamers thinking the same thing as Dal-geun.

As if they had made an appointment, they all headed to Mung-ryong’s Host Bar.

As soon as they opened the host bar door, they realized.

-“Wow, being a worker might be tough with your faces, but I’ll really work my hardest to make you guys rich too.”

Lee Mung-ryong, whoever he was, was definitely a fresh guy who had entered the server.

+++++

– Mungi, can you handle this pressure?

– So when they say they’re opening a host bar and recruiting guys, the ones who show up are Dalgeun, Hanihot, Peron, and Jaseuhyeokchi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Only Major Corporation members are coming, are you crazy? Can you handle this weight class?

– If you add up all their followers, even with a rough calculation, it comes out to about 4 million followers lol

– And their leader has less than 500 followers lol

– Hahahahahahahaha

– Wow he might get crushed to death by the pressure while running the host bar business

– Caw! Caw! Lee Mung-ryong! Lee Mung-ryong! Just dead!

– Now I’m just dying lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Well, forget about escaping or whatever, they’re already dead lololololol

“…”

If I were a viewer in this situation, I would have just been enjoying it.

A small-timer having to handle big shots – it would be hilarious if you weren’t the one involved.

‘Yeah, if you weren’t the one involved.’

Honestly, even while promoting, I thought at most two people would come.

And I predicted that even those two wouldn’t be thinking about actually working as hosts, just coming to mess around.

I thought we’d just casually exchange RP with those people.

And if real customers happened to come, we’d just pretend to be a host bar.

-“Boss! I’ve finished promoting on all the Byeolstar channels!”

-“Boss! I’ve finished all the cleaning!”

-“Boss! I’ve bought all the alcohol!”

-“Boss! I’ve finished practicing all the Host Bar Techniques you taught us!”

With things getting so serious, I felt my mind going blank.

I wanted to choose Plan E – escape – so badly.

‘Why is everyone being so serious when they’re bottom tier streamers?’

I even know that they all have pretty strong personalities and are usually proactive during broadcasts.

‘Why do I have to experience the feeling of buying elf slaves in real life?’

That’s supposed to stay in novels only.

‘Let me get my head straight.’

They say you can survive even in the Tiger’s Den if you keep your wits about you.

And anyway, they’re all my subordinates now.

‘If push comes to shove, I’ll just shoot them all dead with my M7.’

Yeah, that would be the cleanest solution.

After finishing my light mental preparation.

“Alright, so have you roughly figured out the list of customers coming today?”

-“Yes! Everything’s all set up!”

“Let me say this one more time – all the profits from the customers you bring in go entirely to you! Of course! Minus the 10% commission fee!”

– Fuck lololololololol

– Don’t you know what “entirely” means?

– Entirely – commission fee < Why are these in the same sentence?

I immediately started the employees’ mental training.

“When customers come in, act like you’d give them your liver and gallbladder! But only when they have money! If they don’t have money, they’re no longer customers! They’re not women! They’re just like Cigarette Butts thrown away on the Street!”

-“Yes sir!”

– A host bar boss telling them to work Construction hard lolololololol

– Is this real-life RP?

– Munggi, this is really RP, right? ㅠ When you say it with that face of yours, it gives your words a strange sense of credibility

– But why are the Major Corporation members listening so intently and nodding their heads like crazy lolololololol

– You hired Major Corporation members as employees? Are you in your right mind?

After continuing the tiki-taka with RP before the shop opened.

As soon as the shop opened, customers really did flood in as if they’d been waiting.

But this was actually natural when you think about it.

Four male Major Corporation streamers were seriously promoting it.

Who wouldn’t want to check it out?

‘It’s not like they’re asking for anything difficult, and since it’s a host bar that sucks up to anyone with money… even more people are gathering.’

Everyone says they’re meeting for the first time in the game and all that.

But since they’ve already built up internal intimacy through their broadcast connections before coming in.

The shop really started operating suspiciously well.

Moreover.

Ring ring ring ring.

-“Mung-ryong! You… you, what happened? Didn’t you say you were going to live righteously now? But what is all this…”

“Geez… nagging me after meeting for the first time in a while, just think of me as a lost cause.”

-“What, what?”

“Or come by once, I’ll give you special free service, Teacher.”

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Angry Mung-op is kinda getting a reaction?

– I’ll use it well

– Used it well

– Somewhat paraphrased) He’ll do Teacher for free

– What will you do for free~

Now I’ve reached the level where the other person initiates RP on their own.

And there was one more incredible fact.

[ Current viewer count: 250 people ]

The viewer count had suddenly doubled.

– Mungspy breaks through 250!!!!!!!!

– Ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok ogocok

– How did everyone fit in such a cramped place?! How did everyone fit in such a cramped place?! How did everyone fit in such a cramped place?! How did everyone fit in such a cramped place?!

– Hueeeee! Hueeeee! Hueeeee! Hueeeee! Hueeeee! Hueeeee! Hueeeee!

The viewers were also excited.

– Thank you Anonymous Donor for the 1,000 won.

[ But you really, really have no experience with host bars, right? ㄷㄷㄷ ]

“I don’t. I really don’t have any of that. Thank you for the thousand won donation! I’m really clean. Clean Mungi, human condom!”

– Wow hahahahaha

– Great Mung Gi

– Best Best Gi

– King God Gi

– But with your looks, you’re not really a human condom, are you?

– Don’t tell me it’s a condom with a different meaning haha (lol)

– Baby ㅠㅠ come to me, use a condom with me too

The occasional thousand won punches flying in were also very sweet.

The flow is good.

The atmosphere is nice.

‘Isn’t this broadcast really going to blow up big time?’

When I wake up tomorrow, won’t my viewer count suddenly jump to four digits?

An extremely joyful, excited, and thrilling situation.

Is everything really going so well?

The moment I had that thought.

-“Wait, can the owner here come out? I really have quite a lot to say.”

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Gasp

An uninvited guest had appeared.

“Well well… look who it is, it’s Hospital Director Sister from back then? How have you been?”

-How have I been? That’s not the point, don’t you have something to say to me?

“What would I have to say to you, sis… ah, if anything, maybe that you look pretty today?”

– You look pretty today lmaooooooo

– His way of talking is really fucking disgusting

– Wow he really covers up his disgusting way of talking with his face

-“Pfft! What are you saying, are you crazy?”

– She’s laughing fuck

– Mungi you bastard what makes you different from us

– He’s just a bit taller, more handsome, has a nice voice, broad shoulders, and a good body – that’s the only difference ㅡㅡ

– Ah

– ㅠㅠ

– But why are his lines exactly the same as mine, when I say them the girls don’t laugh

– Ah

– ㅠㅠ

Step step.

Leruri’s character approached near my character.

-“No, not that… never mind. I was going to say something, but seeing your face just makes me feel better.”

– Ah

– Ah

– Each line suddenly stabs at the heart

– If you really want to suddenly beat someone up for no reason at all, then beat them up lololololol

– I can’t take this shit crazy

– Cowardly trying to gang up, damn crazy

– Seriously, that chunky judo guy is so annoying ㅇㅇ crazy

Not caring at all about how the viewers were reacting.

-“Give me some advice on my worries.”

She suddenly brought up the topic of advice on worries.

Relationship counseling? What is she trying to bring up?

Is there something to discuss with a host bar worker?

That thought was brief.

-“I think I’ll probably hold another concert later? But I’m worried that someone might turn on their microphone again… so I’m a bit concerned?”

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Gasp

– Emergency! Super emergency!!!!!!!!

– We need to kill this bitch right now! We need to kill this bitch right now! We need to kill this bitch right now! We need to kill this bitch right now! We need to kill this bitch right now! We need to kill this bitch right now!

– Romantic host bar romantic fist Lee Mung-ryong awakening commence! Ahhh!

A bombshell statement came out of Leruri’s mouth.

‘She calls this WWE? She says this while laughing?’

I felt that Lera was a crazy psycho.

Should I seriously pull out my M7 and shoot? I thought.

But obviously I couldn’t do that in the current situation.

‘Everyone’s suddenly paying attention to us… So there are at least 70,000 viewers right now?’

Currently there were roughly eight or more Big Corporation Members at Mung-ryong’s Host Bar.

This could definitely be considered the worst possible situation.

I couldn’t run away from here. I couldn’t change the subject either.

Then the best choice I could make was.

“What did you hear?”

-“Uh, huh?”

“Could you tell me exactly what you heard with your mouth? One by one, slowly? Whisper it in my ear.”

It was a frontal assault.

Say it with your mouth.

Say it with the mouth of a Big Corporation woman.

‘Say it right now.’

You can’t do it.

It’s impossible.
