[TS] Starting the Broadcast

Chapter 16 - The Direction of the Broadcast



It’s hot.
Very hot.
The heat that started in mid-June begins to rage in earnest as the end of the month approaches.
Although there’s an air conditioner, I’m already anxious about the 500,000 won rent that left my account this month.
The stocks I own are stuck in a box pattern, stagnating, and I have to leave the water balloons for points as soon as they come in, so I’m incredibly worried because there’s no proper income.
‘But points are more important than money! Good job, well done. You’ve managed to gather this much somehow.’

The small rebellion of malicious people last week brought unexpected benefits.
The helper was pleased, saying I greatly demonstrated my authority by making an example of those who opposed the goddess.
As a reward for that merit, I was given 200 points.
Unexpected unearned income!
That’s not all.
The 37 malicious people who caused trouble in the broadcast and others who wrote negative posts in the internet broadcasting gallery subscribed to the fan club to avoid lawsuit threats, and now, a week later, the fan club subscription number has reached 1,700.
This is an achievement made about a month after starting the broadcast.
Thanks to that, I cleared two fan club subscription-related missions and accumulated a hefty amount of points.
The current points I have are 1000 points!
This was the great result achieved by saving like a miser without using them even once since the Miracle joint broadcast.

“Shouldn’t there be some benefit when you gather 1000 points, like ‘Ding! You’ve achieved a great feat.’?”
[The goddess’s blessing is always with the administrator. That in itself is a benefit that cannot be exchanged for anything.]
“… Let’s not talk. Let’s not.”

Anyway, it was 1000 points.
Just thinking about it makes me so happy that it’s hard to control the corners of my mouth trying to rise up.
‘If I invest in game-related abilities, I might be able to break out of this Yeti zone and soar high. I might even be able to reach Master.’

At first, it was a fantasy that came to mind playfully, but it might really be possible.
It was after overcoming the demonic wall blocking Platinum and Diamond with level 2 abilities.
With 1000 points, I can raise the “Agile Control 2” ability to almost level 5, which might allow me to look beyond Master.

[Based on my analysis, that seems a bit difficult.]
“Why not! How many points is a level 5 skill, shouldn’t that much be possible?”
[I analyzed the game-related abilities of a prospective believer named ‘Lark’, who has some connection with the administrator.]
[Game Understanding 5, Agile Control 4, Wide Vision 2, Calm Focus 4, Bold Competition 3, Star Consciousness 2]

“What the hell? What is this?”
Even for Grandmaster Lark, it was game ability beyond imagination.
No, what about me?
What about me, who originally had no game-related abilities at all?
[Unfortunately, the administrator has no talent related to games. You just like games.]
“This is crazy!”

Somehow, it makes sense now that the highest tier was Platinum despite working hard with 3 accounts in full rotation since Season 4.
To not have been born with any game-related abilities.
Damn… But at the same time, another doubt arises.
“Wait, does that mean I wasn’t born with anything?”
[No. The administrator also has innate abilities.]
“Huh? Then why haven’t I seen them until now?”
[You dismissed and ignored the grace bestowed by the goddess as text scraps, so this is the natural result.]
“……”

It seems to remember exactly the words I spat out when I was angry.
Such a petty helper.
I carefully examined the items other than the chat window where I exchange thoughts with the helper.
Then I found a button to check existing abilities besides newly acquired ones.
“Hm? There’s more than I thought.”

There were various categories.
Starting from ‘Appearance’, there were many types like ‘Academics’ or ‘Work’.
Even scrolling down, there was a ‘Military’ category.
“Let’s look at appearance first.”
[Bright Tone Skin, Abundant Hair 2]
“… Is that it?”
[Yes, that’s right.]
“Ha.”

I had some hope, but what can I expect from an appearance that’s just average?
I moved on to academics.
[Speed Reading 3, Korean Language Understanding 3, Weak Concentration 2]
Come to think of it, I remember enjoying reading books from a young age and strangely always doing well in Korean language-related subjects.
Although I’m still not happy with how meager it is, it was a somewhat understandable composition.
“Work ability… just a few computer-related things. Social ability… damn. Am I some kind of basement recluse? I can have decent conversations even with people I’ve just met.”

I continued to examine.
The biggest achievement was having ‘Vocalization 2’ and ‘Rhythm Sense 3’ in singing-related abilities later on.
With a little tweaking, I could show great strengths in singing-related content.
[That’s all.]
“……”

After checking everything like this, it felt a bit miserable.
Even though Lark’s is limited to games, he has such brilliant abilities, while my best is Rhythm Sense 3.
I received such brilliant spotlight in the joint broadcast, but it felt like I was branded as someone who could never be more than a supporting role from birth.
‘No, I have the system now. There’s no need to envy existing abilities.’
Only fools covet others’ silver without thinking about the gold they possess.

[That’s a good mindset. Don’t forget this feeling and move forward with all your heart and strength for the goddess from now on.]
“… I want to hit you once.”

Anyway, games are out of the question.
Actually, I never intended to invest in game abilities from the start.
Even if I achieved Master tier, not much would change from now.
No, rather, by that point, the image as a game BJ might become too strong, and only viewers interested in that might flow in.
‘Diamond is more than enough for a female BJ. I’m not going to become a pro gamer, so to grow as a broadcaster, I need to compete in other areas.’

As I’ve said before, there was a clear limit to just gaming.
To grow bigger, I needed to expand my territory.
‘It might seem too blatant and vulgar, but in the end, the most powerful weapon of a female BJ is appearance. If you deny that, you’re either a hypocrite or someone cultivating a flower garden in your head.’

Children learn when they’re young.
That a kind heart is more important than a pretty appearance.
Bull!
Everyone learns when they enter society.
What’s really important.
‘I need to change my appearance first. Only then can I grow faster without losing the current momentum.’

Even if I don’t turn on the cam, if I consistently broadcast, the growth trend won’t stop.
But the speed will definitely be worse than before.
For that reason, I needed a new growth engine.
‘I’ve thought about it a lot, but I should start cam broadcasting at this point.’

The conclusion was reached.
But there was a problem with proceeding like this.
1000 points is a lot, but appearance-related abilities have such a large ripple effect that they consume a lot of points.
I tried creating a new character in preview form using the helper’s ability, but 1000 points was far from enough.
It doesn’t even reach upper-level appearance, let alone celebrity level.
You need to invest at least 5000 points to reach a level where you can gain favorability with appearance, 7000 points for celebrity level… and you need to invest over 10000 points to have top star level appearance.

‘That’s why I thought about it a lot. No, maybe this is a better situation. If I suddenly turn on the cam and reveal my face completely, existing viewers might be surprised by the sudden change in broadcast atmosphere.’

The deliberation was long, but the conclusion was surprisingly simple.
Upgrade appearance in stages.
And don’t turn on the full cam.
This also proceeds in stages, like appearance.
“The first step is definitely half-cam. Let’s tease them a bit with this.”

Half-cam refers to a cam broadcast that reveals up to the upper body excluding the face.
And here, of course, ‘body shape’ was most important.
[If you want a beautiful body, I recommend the ‘Balanced Body’ or ‘S-line Body’ ability. If you want more partial customization…]
“No! There’s something most important for men.”

The most important core that a mere system can never know!
I smiled slightly at the reflection in the mirror.

I sent a broadcast notification around 3 PM.
The broadcast notification is a system where real-time notification messages are sent to viewers who have favorited my broadcast on New Continent TV, and for those who have allowed phone notifications, it’s transmitted that way as well.
The content was short and simple.
Today’s broadcast will start at 5 PM, and I’ll be conducting a cam broadcast for the first time.
After that, I turned on a secret broadcast for about 30 minutes to adjust how it looks on cam, composition, brightness, etc., and then accessed the internet broadcasting gallery to kill time.
Let’s see the reactions!
Although it didn’t become an issue as much as the 1:1 match with Mia or the Miracle joint broadcast, there were still occasional posts about my first cam broadcast.
[BJ Hani is said to be conducting her first cam broadcast at 5 PM. Interested gallery dwellers should go watch.]

-This is amazing, she was so adamant when people told her to do cam broadcasts before, but now she’s doing it after establishing discipline with lawsuit threats.
-That wasn’t because of the cam broadcast, but because malicious people came and ruined the broadcast atmosphere and caused trouble. Did the person who commented above write a reflection letter by any chance?
– It was hilarious seeing grown adults writing reflection letters and getting them checked.
-Those who wrote reflection letters then shouldn’t even think about coming to the gallery anymore. Just being with them is embarrassing.
– I agree. There’s no cure for stupidity.
-Stop criticizing the dogs and what do you think Hani’s cam broadcast will be like? Will it thrive? Or fall?
-Think a bit about the comment above. Just a week ago that incident happened, and now she’s boldly announcing a cam broadcast, doesn’t that give you the answer? She’s doing a cam broadcast in this situation because she’s confident.
-Oh… Now that you mention it, it seems that way. If an orc appears when she turns on the cam in this situation, it’s an immediate fall. This can only be seen as justified confidence.
-One vote in support of the above analysis!
-Does everyone think it will thrive? Then I’ll cancel my plans and wait too.
-Yeah. We all know you don’t have plans. Our unemployed friend who just scratches his thighs in his room on weekends while only using the computer.
-F***! Don’t use area attacks.
-You cry, I cry, everyone cries loudly.

“Everyone’s in high spirits.”
The reactions weren’t bad.
If I do well, the viewer count might be quite good.
“Phew……”
I left the gallery.
Although I proceeded with the situation nonchalantly, turning on the cam is actually a very nerve-wracking thing.
Even if this appearance is different from the real ‘me’…
Viewers judge and define ‘me’ based on this appearance now.
That’s why I sometimes agonize and regret, and push myself.
Saying I’ll definitely lead the broadcast to success.
“Alright, let’s go!”
[I’ll cheer for you enthusiastically.]
It’s 5 PM.
The broadcast begins.
