Chapter 44
“Hooooo…”
In front of Hayoon, who let out a sigh, the status window flickered with choices.
Perhaps, it’s because the sponsorship for the project has exceeded 20 million won.
The status window, which was idly hanging around, must have suddenly jumped in.
-1) Spin the roulette once as a mission completion reward.
-2) Proceed with an additional mission for another roulette reward. In this case, the failure penalty is fixed at [Increased Body Hair].
First, the first choice.
Simply spinning the roulette.
Whatever it is, you’ll get something.
Since getting anything is beneficial, it’s a choice where you don’t lose anything.
And the second choice.
On top of the first reward, take on an additional mission for another roulette spin.
The penalty is fixed as [Increased Body Hair], but if you succeed, you’ll gain the right to spin the roulette again.
“Hmm, where exactly will the body hair increase…?”
– The first application will increase hair around the genital area such as the pubic hair. The second application will increase body hair all over. The third application will begin beastification, which involves features like a longer snout.
“No, wait… It’s not just about increasing body hair.”
– At least for now, it only means increased body hair.
Of course, this is definitely a trap set up by the status window.
Although failing once or twice won’t make you a furry, I’ve already been warned that beastification begins from the third attempt.
Yet, despite having already made up my mind, choosing the first option isn’t easy.
After all, failing once will only result in increased pubic hair, which isn’t noticeable to others, and succeeding will give me another roulette spin.
So in this case…
“Isn’t there no reason not to try?”
I understand the gradual buildup by the status window – it’s trying to induce small failures repeatedly, tempting me to become a furry eventually.
But even though I understand that, I keep hesitating.
“The traits from the roulette are too efficient.”
The “Perfect Development” trait confirmed through Yunsoohee showed that my chest is growing well, and the “Supreme Queen’s Aura” makes people treat me more respectfully, both of which are functioning effectively.
So why should I reject the roulette that gives such sweet traits?
No, there isn’t a reason.
There isn’t one…
But…
“Being cautious won’t hurt, right? Let’s bring the roulette first.”
Nod.
Satisfied with her own decision, Hayoon nodded and asked the status window for the roulette.
Luck is the most important here.
The probability of mission success depends on the roulette results, so Hayoon wanted to test her luck with this.
-The roulette will now spin.

[Endless Vitality – Fluffy Fur – Doorstep Immunity…]
At first, familiar traits passed by.
Endless Vitality was something I desired last time, and Doorstep Immunity was just a decent bad result.
But Fluffy Fur…
“Can we remove that one?”
-The probability is only 2%.
“Reduce it. Becoming a furry through the roulette by sheer luck seems a bit unfair.”
-It’s only about having more body hair… Also, having fur makes you more adorable…
“Reduce it.”
-Yes, ma’am…
After a short exchange with the status window, the probability was successfully reduced.
Regardless of it only increasing body hair, the wording “Fluffy Fur” felt unsettling.

[Alluring Whisper – Alopecia Immunity – Goddess of Luck…]
When I glanced at the roulette again, completely new traits passed by.
And then, as the speed gradually slowed…
▽
[Endless Vitality – Alluring Whisper – Ambiguous Fortune…]
“Alluring Whisper.”
It stopped on a trait I was seeing for the first time.
[Alluring Whisper]
-Your voice possesses excellent appeal.
-Sometimes profound, sometimes desperate.
-Those who hear your voice will not dare to move away from you.
“Oooooh.”
Maybe I should understand this as a Voice Enhancement trait.
I’m not sure how to express it, but it’s not a bad trait for Hayoon, whose goal is to perform on stage in AGC.
It also seems to pair well with the Supreme Queen’s Aura, which draws everyone’s attention.
And pulling a trait of this quality means…
“Am I on a lucky streak today?”
I have a good feeling about today.
In this state, I think I’ll receive a pretty decent second mission from the status window as well…
“Choice 2. Let’s take on an additional mission.”
-Additional Mission!
-Your field of activity is boundless.
-From illustrations, games, to cosplay, you have used your diverse talents so far. Now, it’s time to excel in a new area.
-Turn on the cam during the broadcast and expose yourself to the audience.
-Your face exposure is not mandatory.
“Ohhhh.”
The mission was to turn on the cam during the broadcast.
Face exposure is not mandatory.
Whether you do a masked cam or a half-cam, it doesn’t matter.
Then…
“Damn, this is too easy?”
This is a mission at a level where difficulty doesn’t even exist.
Thinking it wouldn’t be difficult, Hayoon nodded slightly and headed to the bus stop.
Yunsoohee was planning to go home by car after just editing some simple photos, so Hayoon decided to take the bus home first.
While riding the bus at the very back seat and heading home, Hayoon thought,
“Better to draw some attention in advance.”
Since she was going to turn on the cam anyway, Hayoon decided to preheat the audience properly.
She entered the fan cafe opened a few weeks ago, clicked the announcement button, and…
“Starting from today, there will be no broadcasts for three days due to cosplay book shooting… And with the funding ending in a few days, I plan to air a half-cam for the final tally…”
Half-cam broadcast.
It’s almost like the ultimate move for a no-cam female streamer, and Hayoon planned to train the viewers who hadn’t seen her during the cosplay book shooting.
Three days of absence.
Mandatory, due to the cosplay book shooting schedule.
The upcoming half-cam broadcast.
With this, no viewer would leave Hayoon.
Or rather, they would probably flock in.
And Hayoon thought,
“How much will I earn?”
Anticipating the money people would bring upon flocking, Hayoon smirked.
It’s possible her assets could exceed hundreds of millions this year.
The sound of money piling up already echoed in her ears, making it hard not to feel excited.

Before long, the third day of filming arrived.
“Roughly, it will be processed with this kind of tone. Your cosplay characters are cocktail bar staff, right? So, it’s appropriate to fill the background with soft but dark light sources.”
“I agree.”
“Our illustrations are also dry and monotonous in background treatment. They were dark as well.”
Yunsoohee, Hayoon, and Arin confirmed the photos edited to some extent at Studio Yun and exchanged feedback.
Of course, the feedback was more or less about agreeing and asking to continue in the same manner.
“Alright, I’ll try my best to keep this feel.”
Giving such a firm assurance helps the editor, Yunsoohee, process the photos more easily.
Yunsoohee scribbled the overall photo editing method on her tablet, and for a moment, silence enveloped the three women.
“Don’t we have a VVIP special cut? What are we going to do with that?”
Once again, Yunsoohee broke the silence while checking the reactions of Hayoon and Arin.
VVIP special cut.
Hayoon said she hadn’t thought about it yet and suggested putting it off until next time, so the planning proposal wasn’t even submitted.
In short, by today, the last filming day, the planning for the VVIP cut should be finalized…
“Do we have a bed in the studio?”
“Bed? Why do we need that?”
“Well, kind of a successful harem route vibe… If me and sister take appropriate poses on the bed, wouldn’t we get an easy shot…”
“WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY!”
“AHH!”
As soon as Hayoon blurted out her idea, she immediately got hit on the back by Yunsoohee.
Of course, which parent would want to shoot a picture of their daughter lounging provocatively on a bed?
Especially with another woman.
It was a reckless suggestion that deserved the hit.
“But, the concept in itself isn’t bad, right?”
“What nonsense are you talking?”
“I-I mean… not using the bed… As we already shot with making rose bouquets. How about we shoot both of us dressed in maid outfits holding a rose bouquet?”
“The composition would be pretty… but it feels weird shooting two women handing it off to an unknown male.”
When Arin suggested a compromise, Yunsoohee nodded thoughtfully, agreeing this was acceptable.
Thereafter, Hayoon and Arin changed into maid outfits and began shooting, shyly holding out the rose bouquet at the same time.
“It’s like… their expression acting has improved to semi-pro level in just three days. Are you planning to become actresses next?”
Yunsoohee’s evaluation was nothing short of glowing.
The three of them wrapped up the final shooting, exchanging various ideas and maintaining a lively atmosphere.
How beautiful will the completed cosplay book look?
Hayoon can’t help but look forward to it.
