Chapter 64 : With miley (2)

The Thumbs Up Gang’s taste was atrocious.

[2-player game recommendations?]
[Idk]
[A co-op game would be good, right?]
[Boing Boing Wrestling go]
[? What is that?]
[Sounds like a total weeb game lol]
[There’s one where you wrestle in swimsuits]
[Sounds amazing, let’s do it!]
[This is a 15+ game, are we allowed to play it?]
[Who cares?]
[Boing Boing go]

It was a gathering of absolute madmen. Were they trying to turn my livestream into adult content?

“The ‘bear’ in Bear Thumbs Up Gang seems to have turned into a different kind of bear…”

[LOL]
[That’s a bear targeting pedos only…]
[It is kinda lewd lol]
[Lol]
[What happens if a guy plays it?]
[The game only has women’s swimsuits…]
[Oh noooo]
[I can’t unsee it]

I decided to quell the rioting Thumbs Up Gang. The first thing to do was purge the one who recommended that weird Boing Boing whatever game.

[Bear Mountain]

“Ah.”

Against a 75% chance, Bear Mountain came up.

[ButterSeaweed donated \$10!]
[Oh, survival success]

Thanks to that, the one who picked Boing Boing survived and safely returned to Bear Mountain. The \$10 teabagging was a bonus.

“Too bad. Such a shame.”

It was my fault for trusting the 75% probability. I should have rigged it.

But it didn’t matter.

I smiled brightly.

It was a wicked smile.

“But just because ButterSeaweed survived doesn’t mean I’m going to play that weird wrestling game.”

Wasn’t that obvious?

That roulette was just a purge roulette. It had nothing to do with dumb games!

[Boo]
[Boo, trash]
[Coward, boo]
[‘Do it’]
[These guys are shameless lol]

“What do you mean, ‘Do it’? I have no intention of wrestling Miley in a swimsuit.”

Miley flinched at my words.

Yeah, yeah, don’t worry. We won’t do that.

“Besides, there’s no way I could just stream something like that, right? I’d have to set an age restriction, and if I make even a small mistake, the Twitch admins will definitely shut down my stream.”

Unfortunately, I hadn’t acquired Twitch yet.

‘David said it would take a little longer.’

Naturally, there was no way to avoid the oppressive hand of the Twitch admins. If I were the owner of Twitch, I could have easily glossed over it, but absolutely not now.

‘This parent company is a publicly traded company.’

If I mess up, my account will get suspended. Well, they’d reinstate it soon enough, though.

[It’s fine. If Twitch censors us, we’ll protest in front of Gwanghwamun.]
[2222222222222]
[Don’t be afraid, fight back!!!]
[It’s not really us who get censored though]
[True lol]
[Fact: Seongwon is the one who gets suspended, but we still get to see the swimsuit lol]
[I want to see a swimsuit]
[Swimsuit aside, SoulFrame!!!]
[Is she possessed by a ghost who died without playing SoulFrame or something?]

It seemed like the bait was getting stale, so I needed to switch it up.

“Okay, okay, the swimsuit game is out. If you keep talking about it, I’m going to play V-BAT.”

[Sorry]
[Please]
[Please don’t do that, I’m begging you]
[I don’t understand why she finds V-BAT fun]
[So what lol She’s good at it lol]
[Yeah, she’s good, but even hardcore veterans die to random bombings. Is that even a game?]
[This is actually viral marketing. Soviet army must have gotten something from Lockheed Martin]
[It’s not a game, it’s a con]

“Now, before I pull out V-BAT, suggest another game.”

The chat window exploded once more.

Countless games were suggested by the Thumbs Up Gang.

Among them, one game caught my eye.

[Kindergarten Defense go]
[Is it KinderGuard?]
[Lol]
[It is kindergarten defense lol]
[It sounds like it was translated with a cheap translator]
[KinderGuard does have co-op mode]

“KinderGuard, you say?”

I searched for the game with a leisurely gesture.

Then, I saw a picture of adorable, rainbow-colored kindergarten scenery with grotesque, distorted monsters invading.

[KinderGuard]

“This game…looks very strange.”

As I was speechless at the bizarre image, Miley, who had looked it up herself, explained it to me.

“Master, it seems this is a game where, from a kindergartener’s perspective, you defeat monsters attacking the kindergarten using toys.”

“No, I figured that out from the picture…Isn’t this contrast a bit ridiculous? It’s hilarious.”

Only after saying that did I realize my mistake.

‘Oh no!’

My concept was to speak politely and softly!

I quickly checked the chat.

As expected.

[Lol]
[Her concept is solid lol]
[Mark, S, Tek lol]
[Of course, she has to call her Master since she’s a butler]
[Seongwon, why did your speech suddenly change?]
[Gasp! Seongwon, your concept is broken!!!!]
[I think her true self came out just now lol]
[Lol]

I took a breath and spoke softly.

“Um, there seems to have been a minor broadcast interference.”

[Broadcast interference my ass lol]
[Where was the interference?]
[Obviously from the American imperialists. Don’t you know that?]
[Pretending to like V-BAT is a two-faced tactic]
[Lol]

“Really. Just now…uh…this…not…”

Then Miley, standing next to me, mimicked me.

“Mas…ah…door…locked…”

[These crazy people LOL]
[What are these two doing???]
[Their interrupted speech is ridiculous]
[Miley’s good at broadcasting. She copied that right away]
[This is so embarrassing for me]
[Seongwon broke the broadcast]
[I’ll believe you, teacher, so please stop]
[Seriously pathetic, lol]

I glanced at Miley. It seemed she was a bit embarrassed by this. Avoiding my gaze was exactly how she looked when she was shy.

I sighed.

“Fine. I’ll play KinderGuard or KinderPunch or whatever.”

It didn’t look too bad anyway. It had high ratings.

“Before that,”

I created a microphone.

“Let’s sing a song.”

Is she the foreign member?

—What kind of K-POP group got screwed over mid-way and disbanded, ending up streaming on Twitch?

└The CEO probably ran off with the money lol
—Judging by the butler concept, they probably had a maid member in the group too
└Then is there a knight?
└Why are we suddenly in a fantasy world lol

└Idk, it was probably a song their group was originally supposed to sing
└They had the visuals, the song, and the concept, but they failed before they could release an album LOL

Seoul, AG Entertainment Headquarters.

“Hmm…”

Ten men in suits sat in the dark conference room. Most of them were groaning, staring at the screen in front of them.

Seongwon’s livestream was playing on the screen.

This wasn’t the first time they had seen Seongwon’s videos. Before watching the livestream, they had watched all of Seongwon’s YouTube music videos.

“She sings quite well.”

“Definitely…”

“Did you say that music video had over 10 million views?”

“It’s past that already, almost at 20 million.”

“But isn’t that skill because it’s a broadcast? She might not be as good in a live performance.”

“That’s not the issue. Most of our company’s idols lip-sync live anyway, so why does it matter?”

“Well, I suppose…”

The murmuring men soon questioned the head of the planning department, who had brought Seongwon’s videos.

“So, which agency are they with?”

The head of planning bowed his head.

“We haven’t confirmed yet. I’ve made some calls, but they don’t seem to be with any of the major entertainment companies. Just the fact that they’re doing internet broadcasting suggests that.”

“That’s a lucky company.”

“Well, sometimes smaller agencies hit the jackpot. The company next door was a small business in its early days, too. Some people are just lucky.”

At those words, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table,

The managing director of AG Entertainment, chuckled.

“If you put it that way, the company that owns them is unlucky. They have to fight a money war with us.”

“Ah…”

“That’s true.”

The managing director interlocked his fingers and smiled.

“Too bad for them.”

“Haha. You’re right, Director. It’s like watering and fertilizing a plant, only to have it stolen right before harvest.”

“Well, what can you do? It’s a tough world for those without money.”

* * *

“Hmm.”

“What’s wrong, CEO?”

David Kim frowned as he picked at his ear.

“It’s like someone is talking about me. Was it an insult?”

“Haha, perhaps.”

“Well, I deserve it. What are our total earnings so far?”

“As of today, it’s a little over \$100 million. Having a large capital is nice. Just a little manipulation and the money comes pouring in.”

David Kim grinned.

“Good. I have more to report to the Chairman.”
