[TS] Starting the Broadcast

The tournament hosted by SupportBlame was already causing quite a stir.
Not only the team leaders of each team, but also the team members were seen reaping the benefits by attracting more viewers than usual.

-Is this the Lark team?
-Yes, the ace of Lark team. Covers two lanes simultaneously, jungle and mid.
-What does that mean?
-Just go search for BJ Hani mid carry. Go go.

“No, don’t tell them such things. You’re creating fixed ideas for newcomers.”

While it’s good that the viewer count is increasing, the trolling increased along with it.
To my justified protest, mischievous viewers laughed and replied.

-My, what a troublesome woman.
-We’re working hard to promote you, be grateful!

“Wait, is this my fault?”

-Yes, it’s your fault. Apologize quickly.
-Aren’t we adults who can handle that much? Or are you confessing that the concept and outfit you chose were that dangerous?

“No, that’s not what I…”

For once, I was flustered by the sharp question that suddenly struck.
But I can’t lose momentum like this.
This time, I counterattack.

“Not only adults watch my broadcast. Even if we say high school students are fine, for those below that age group… right, it might be a bit too much for middle school students to watch, that’s what I mean.”

-Then the middle schoolers are at fault.
-That’s right. Where do you think you’re causing problems by butting in when elders are trying to enjoy a good show? Room owner, investigate ages and blacklist all high school students and below.

“You’re the one who’s blacklisted, you!”

For those with thick skin, it’s better to rule with an iron fist rather than words.
After one person was forcibly removed, the chat window cleaned up a bit.
Still, the chat window was bustling with viewers.
Checking, it was going back and forth between 470-500 people.
At this level, I won’t be called a small-time BJ anymore.

While feeling proud of that, I also feel perplexed.
I want to manage it properly, but chat management is starting to become overwhelming.
In the end, I had to make a major decision.

“I’m thinking of recruiting chat management managers. I’ll create an application section on my broadcast station bulletin board now, so if anyone’s interested, I’d appreciate it if you could enthusiastically promote yourself.”

With about 2 hours left until team practice, let’s try to recruit chat managers today.
With that thought, I immediately created an application section on the broadcast station.
And I showed the screen to the viewers.

“Well, I’m looking forward to seeing who will apply.”

-ㅋ I wonder if you can still laugh when that expectation is betrayed.
-If it weren’t for taekwondo academy, I could be a chat manager too, noona I love you.
-Cut out the kids! Go practice your kicks.
-Since Hani usually broadcasts from 5 PM, isn’t it difficult for adults? When you get home after work, it’s usually 6 PM at the earliest, or around 7 PM.

While viewers were sharing various opinions, the first and second applicants’ posts went up simultaneously.

“Alright! Then let’s read the first applicant’s post. I’m curious how wonderfully they’ve promoted themselves.”

With slight anticipation, I clicked on the first application post.

“…?”

-ㅋ Can’t resist playing the order game.
-Do you think this is a webtoon comment section? I’m speechless.
-Blacklist go go!

“Sigh, I’ll blacklist anyone playing the number game after this. I’ve warned you in advance. Delete your posts on your own.”

Then the fourth and sixth application posts are deleted.
Is playing around this fun… As I sigh and am about to click on the second post, viewers in the chat window strongly dissuaded me.

-No no no!
-Oh my god! Don’t open it. Some trash uploaded a weird photo.
-If that shows up, you’ll get broadcast suspended. Stop! Don’t click!

“…Really?”

All the viewers spam, conveying that I absolutely must not click it.
After asking for understanding and briefly covering the screen, I clicked on the post, and indeed, an adult photo appeared.
I deleted the post and copied the author’s nickname to add to the blacklist.
Looking at the nickname, it was fortunately not familiar at all.
If it had been a viewer who had been watching my broadcast, I would have felt a great sense of betrayal.

“Thank you for letting me know. I’ve blacklisted that person and deleted the post. Then let’s look at the next one.”

Since the first two posts were both duds, my expectations had cooled a bit, but thinking I’d finally see the first normal applicant, I click the mouse forcefully.

[Author: Hani’sUncleFan]
[Content: Hello, Hani-nim. I’m a fan who’s been watching since your 1:1 match with Mia-nim. I always enjoy watching your broadcasts.]

“Finally, a normal person. Ah… why do I feel like crying over this?”

-ㅋ It’s a world where it’s hard to find such a normal person.
-A crucible of emotion!
-Just type ㄹㅇ.

[I’m applying like this after hearing you’re looking for chat managers. I usually finish work before 5 PM, so I can match Hani-nim’s broadcast time. On weekends, I can dedicate a full day too. Of course, since it’s my first time as a chat manager, there will be lacking parts, but if Hani-nim gives guidelines, I’ll work hard to follow them.]

“You’ve watched my broadcast for a long time, and I get the feeling you’ll work really hard if I entrust you. I’ll mark you as a candidate for now.”

-Wow. But if he’s an uncle fan, how old would he be?
-Since Hani is 24, to be called an uncle fan, wouldn’t there be about a 7-10 year age difference? Then early to mid-30s?
– Actually, he might be old enough to be a dad, not an uncle.

“I’ll immediately punish remarks that mock or belittle other viewers. Please only write nice comments.”

After managing the jealousy-tinged reactions in the chat window, I moved on to the next post.

[Author: KeyboardMaster]
[Content: Hello, I’m unemployed. Available 24 hours fully. End.]

“Ah…”

-ㅋ The best manager. 24 hours, Hani is at risk of being sued as an evil employer.
-Voluntary 24-hour slave ;
-As expected, the unemployed can’t resist. Our proud comrades illuminating New Continent TV.

This part was awkward to comment on.
In fact, saying he’s unemployed does create a slightly negative image, so I opened my mouth with some advice.

“Um… if I may say something, I think of broadcasting as entertainment, like a game. It’s good to enjoy it and relieve stress, but please always prioritize reality and watch broadcasts in your spare time, I’d appreciate it.”

-ㄹㅇ;; Suddenly so serious. But it might be a bit touching.
-Is Hani the only one thinking of the unemployed viewers who are breaking their parents’ backs? I’m touched.
-Uh, well… I’m the one who just applied. I am unemployed, but my parents left me a building so I’m not without income. So don’t worry and pick me.
-ㅋ Look at this tactless golden spoon unemployed.
-Give me back my emotion! I was touched that Hani was worried about our real lives too. But crash! It’s shattered.

“…Rejected.”

That detestable golden spoon.
Representing the dirt spoons of Korea, I absolutely cannot forgive this!

“Huh? But why does this applicant have so many comments?”

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the application post without even listening to the viewers’ answers.

[Content: Hello, I’m enjoying Hani-nim’s broadcasts. It’s difficult every day, but I can be a chat manager about 4 days a week including weekends from 5 PM, Hani-nim’s broadcast time. Additionally, are you not interested in YouTube? You have many advantages, so I think you could grow quickly if you start. Since I work in that field, I’m leaving this post thinking we could help each other if you’re interested. Take care!]

“Uh… YouTube.”

-Isn’t ACupInterpreter the main editor who worked on SoHot channel and MixB channel? Wow;;
-Is Hani at that level? SoHot channel has over 1 million subscribers and MixB recently hit 550k, can Hani grow to that level if she starts YouTube?
-This is mid carry. Hani’s mid carry power will lead the team to victory in this tournament too.

[솔킬이면블루압수 has been forcibly removed.]

“Don’t try strange chats while I’m not looking.”

I forcibly removed one viewer while pretending to be calm, but in fact I was very surprised.
To think such a skilled and famous YouTube editor would show interest in me.

[If you start YouTube, you can receive missions related to subscribers, views, likes, etc.]

It’s an extremely tempting offer.
But the timing wasn’t good.
‘It’s difficult to do anything besides the tournament for now. If I chase two rabbits, I might lose both.’

Regretfully, I decided to postpone it for later.
In that sense, I decided to put ACupInterpreter on the candidate list too.

[Content: Available 24 hours fully. Please entrust me, I’ll manage the chat window firmly so that R18 content can occupy it.]

“Why have malicious viewers suddenly increased like this?”

– Doesn’t she know all viewers are raising a ‘devil’ in their hearts?
-What’s the problem? Just living up to the nickname

After that, I added about 2 more decent people as candidates.
A total of 4… I decided to pick one main manager who can be active and one assistant manager from among these.

-But what’s good about being a chat manager? Everyone seems to really want to be picked.
-You can play with authority Just give 1-minute chat bans to annoying chats. Super fun!
-Just for that? Unless you’re unemployed, don’t you have to stick to the broadcast for hours? Isn’t it a loss?
-He said he’s unemployed though? ㅋ
-Ah, then agreed!

“Hmm… I’m not sure if it’s good, but first you’ll be added as messenger friends, right? And later when I do appreciation events, I’m planning to prepare small gifts for your hard work.”

-Why are you saying this now!
-Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!
-Noona pick me. Noona pick me. Noona pick me.

The chat window instantly becomes a battlefield.
Ignoring the screams that seem to come from hell, I posted a survey targeting the 4 candidates.
It’s giving viewers a chance to vote in real-time.

-Everyone knows, right?
-Vote wisely.

But the voting didn’t happen fairly.
Whether out of jealousy or not, almost no votes went to the two candidates who seemed to have quite good specs, while votes poured in for the other two candidates who proudly revealed they were unemployed.
Oh my, these troublemakers.
In the end, I deleted the survey and decided to pick managers according to my heart.

-The tyrant must step down! What’s with election fraud in a democratic society!
-The people’s will is heaven’s will! Appoint the two candidates as managers!

“Be quiet, I’m going to turn on the cam when we play games later, if you keep acting like this I’ll cancel it.”

-Indeed, you are a wise ruler. Your Majesty!
-Do as you please.

Their attitude changes really as fast as Udyr.
Anyway, public opinion has calmed down, and I decided to pick ‘Hani’sUncleFan’, who gave me a good feeling from the start, as the main manager and ‘ACupInterpreter’ as the assistant manager.

“Please send your messenger codes to my inbox. Then I’ll add you as friends.”

After giving the two permanent manager qualifications, I checked the time and realized it was already the promised time.

“I’ll check the settings for a moment.”

I check the cam composition I confirmed before the broadcast and the lighting I newly purchased for today.
On Discord, Mia, Lark, and Waka were already connected, and we just needed Wagyu to join.

“I’m warning you in advance, just because I’m doing a cam broadcast doesn’t mean you can advertise or cause trouble in other team members’ rooms. You’ll be immediately blacklisted. I’ve clearly warned you.”

-OK OK!
-We got it, so noona please turn on the cam quickly. It’s too dark here, I’m scared.
-But what kind of cam is it today? Don’t tell me it’s another half-cam? It’s not, right? You’re revealing your face this time, right?

“If you’re curious, see for yourself.”
