[TS] Starting the Broadcast

“Yaaawn!”
I’m sleepy.
After doing the after-party broadcast yesterday, I fell asleep around 3 AM, so I was extremely tired.
The current time is 11 AM.
I seem to have slept for about 8 hours, but maybe because my usual rhythm is broken, I feel drowsy and sleepy.
[It’s good to rest more. When relieving fatigue, you should do it thoroughly.]
“… You seem a bit unfamiliar? Usually, you’d say something like ‘conveying the teachings of the Goddess’ and ‘there’s no time to rest!’ right?”
[That’s a misunderstanding. I’ve always been concerned about the manager’s health and rest.]
“Yeah, I know. You’re all smiles because I did well yesterday. Listen to me well from now on. If you act up, oh! I might take a week off from broadcasting?”
[I hope you haven’t forgotten that special missions are strictly under my jurisdiction.]
“Ahem. Okay! Let’s end it here.”

Ending the nerve war with the helper, I throw my body back onto the bed once again.
I had plenty of time since I had already announced that I would take a day off from broadcasting today.
‘I really worked hard for two weeks. Thinking about it now, it’s something I shouldn’t have done.’
Consistently doing personal broadcasts and team practice games simultaneously.
Except for the time to wash, eat, and sleep, I was stuck in front of the computer all day.
The pain starting to appear in my neck and back wasn’t just a trivial symptom.
I’m already weak, and if I leave it like this, I wonder if I’ll be taken to the hospital someday.
[I recommend exercising.]
“Exercise is a bit… it’s a waste of time.”
Suddenly, I wondered if I could solve health management by investing points.
[Of course it’s possible. But it won’t be easy.]
“Huh? What… Gasp! W-What is this? This is too much!”

The required points were beyond comparison.
The abilities in the health category basically started at 200 for level 1, 450 for level 2, and 1000 for level 3.
This means that if you want to get a level 3 health-related ability from scratch, you need 1650 points.
[Health is a very important ability that is related to a person’s lifespan. So naturally, the amount of points needed will be large.]
“… I guess it’s better to just exercise.”

I quickly give up and roll around on the bed again.
I feel the need for exercise, but I don’t want to do it right away.
My future self, or tomorrow’s me, will exercise hard!
So today’s me will rest a bit.
[It’s good to rest, but I suggest you check your future plans. You’ve accumulated more points than you think.]

The helper is right.
I have a lot of points now.
Very much so.
‘I thought it was over when we lost in the finals. I didn’t expect such a twist.’

On the first day, we beat AltF4 team and SupportBlame team, advancing to the finals with 2 wins and 1 loss.
The finals were best of 3.
Our team’s opponent was IkuEku team who came up with 3 straight wins, and I fought my best against the Challenger jungler.
‘If only SupportBlame team had come up, the chances of winning would have increased since they had a Gold jungler.’

During the three games on the first day, my newly upgraded strength was fully exposed.
And because AltF4 and SupportBlame teams had Gold junglers, my dominating play worked, but IkuEku team’s jungler was Challenger.
Even with the Guillotine Match 4 ability, when I went for counter-jungling, I ended up at a disadvantage, only losing my spell.
The opponent could call their teammates anytime, but since my ability drops the moment I leave a 1v1 situation, it was an inevitably disadvantageous fight.

Anyway, I tried hard, but our team eventually lost 2:1 and had to settle for second place.
But the twist that happened afterwards.
In the viewers’ vote to select the final MVP, I expected it to come from the winning team of course, but surprisingly, I was chosen as MVP.
The pentakill scene from the match against AltF4 team on the first day.
Viewers who couldn’t forget that intense impact voted for me en masse, allowing me to claim the MVP.

700 points received as a reward for the special mission.
And during the after-party broadcast, an enormous number of viewers, fan club memberships, and water balloon bombs poured in for me who showed a great performance.
Missions that were continuously cleared and renewed.
Thanks to that, my current points were at 1270.
It was truly an amazing harvest.
‘But it’s still not enough. Is there no end to this no matter what I do?’

Lovely Eyes 4, Soft Gaze 2, Transparent Skin 2.
These were abilities obtained by investing a whopping 1400 points for masked cam broadcasts.
There’s still the nose, lips, teeth, and overall balance.
There was a lot to do.
But now the difficulty of clearing missions has become too high.

[Mission!]
[Let’s achieve 850 simultaneous viewers.]
[Reward: 85 points]

[Mission!]
[Let’s achieve 7000 fan club members.]
[Reward: 70 points]

[Mission!]
[Let’s achieve 15000 donated water balloons.]
[Reward: 75 points]

Since water balloons and fan club numbers are cumulative, I’m clearing them steadily, but missions that used to be cleared 1-2 per day now take 3-4 days, so it feels too slow.
That’s one reason, but anyway, points are the top priority.
For faster and more point acquisition, I decided.
“From today, I’m challenging YouTube.”
[Clap clap clap! It’s good to see you trying to spread the Goddess’s grace more widely.]
Although I’m taking a break from broadcasting, today was going to be endlessly busy.

I want to start YouTube.
But I’m a complete beginner when it comes to YouTube.
So I decided to use my network.
“Yeah yeah! Unni, leave it all to me. I’ll teach you everything from A to Z.”
Mia, who is already a BJ and YouTuber with 150,000 subscribers, happily accepts.
When I ask why she’s so excited, I get an immediate answer.
“That fake person completely fell into hell. Good good! It’s the best, totally serves them right!”
She must have really disliked them.

Anyway, through Mia, I seriously received education about what’s needed and what to prepare in advance to start YouTube.
“The most important thing is the video editor. Even boring source material can be transformed into a video that gets tons of views in the hands of a capable editor.”
“Then what about thumbnails or illustrations?”
“Of course they’re important. Don’t you remember when we were young? Many kids used to judge manhwa by the art style. Videos are exactly the same. Some people won’t even watch if they don’t like the thumbnail art.”

I wanted to say that I don’t know because I didn’t read romance manhwa, but Mia’s continuing explanations were too excellent.
She generously shared the know-how she gained from running YouTube for nearly 2 years, and it was already lunchtime just from diligently taking notes.

“Ah, I’m hungry! It’s already lunchtime. Unni, want to have lunch together? I’ll come to your neighborhood.”
“Huh? No, actually I have a prior appointment…”
“Unni, you’re avoiding me too much. Tsk! This is really too much.”
“Sorry. But I’ll definitely come for your birthday.”
“Really? If you break your promise, I’ll block you for a week! I mean it!”
“Okay, okay. I got it. September 9th! I even drew a big circle on the calendar.”

Today is August 2nd, so there’s one month and 7 days left.
Until then, I need to gather points somehow and complete my face.
Saying it like this makes me feel like I’ve become some kind of android or robot, but anyway, a real-life collaboration broadcast is planned to celebrate Mia’s birthday that day.

“Phew, I learned a lot. Should I eat lunch first?”
Since we do everything to eat and live, I quickly order delivery again today.
While eating deliciously mixed jajangmyeon, I realize that the monthly rent date is coming up soon.
The current balance is less than 2 million won.
And thinking about hiring proper editors and thumbnail artists, the money was too insufficient.
“Should I sell it after all?”
Thinking about parting with Ecopia stocks, which are like my children, even though I haven’t received dividends yet, brings tears to my eyes.
[Didn’t you say Baidi Pharmaceuticals was like your child before?]
“Shut up!”
I can’t stand talking about Baidi Pharmaceuticals in front of me.
Baidi Pharmaceuticals, which made me cry by hitting the lower limit that day and starting with a -7% gap drop as soon as the market opened the next day.
I had already sorted it out and erased it cleanly from my memory.

‘If it weren’t just for the urgency of points, it’s actually an enormous income.’
I was ranking within the top 100 of the water balloon rankings posted in the gallery every week.
Roughly calculating, the water balloons I received last month slightly exceeded 60,000.
After subtracting fees, it’s about 5.5 million won, a large sum.
But I had nothing in hand.
As points are urgent, they’re consumed for mission clearance as soon as they come in.

‘Nothing’s decided yet, so let’s talk first.’
I checked with Mia, and she said A Cup Reader is a video editor with quite good reviews.
She said he’s sufficiently skilled and not too picky, a steady person.
However, I was worried about the labor costs, which would be as high as his skills.

‘And Yerin…’
Yerin, who is ranked 10th among the special members of my broadcast.
A second-year high school student who holds all three titles of golden hands, golden spoon, and high school girl, like the embodiment of irrationality!
Out of fan love for me, she even gave up her position as a thumbnail artist for another YouTuber and is making a dash at me.
It’s a headache figuring out what to do about this.

[Communication is important for anything. Don’t just worry alone, let’s talk with the parties involved.]
“… I thought you only nagged uselessly about the Goddess, but you can be helpful sometimes.”
The helper was right.
The most important thing between people is communication.
The first step to starting YouTube.
It was talking with these two people.
