Give Me Moddeok's Content (2)
"Moteok's content, please." Whoa… these people. They're really going too far. Smearing our Moteok's content? How dare they? Do they even know what a mid-tier VTuber is? She's an incredible person. I'll show you exactly… the difference between Sena and Moteok. The gap between us. She's about to drop content so amazing I can't even imagine it!!
"Guys, is Moteok streaming today?"
I logged into Moteok's fan café to check today's schedule. It was already 7:30… Ugh. "Nine o'clock… still a long way to go… Ah!! Oh. I'll just say it straight. I'll end my stream at 8:50. Go watch Moteok's broadcast. You'll see truly incredible content with your own two eyes."
I said it with full confidence. This is something you have to see for yourself. No matter how much I explain it, you won't get it. It's like that old story of the blind men and the elephant. I watched it and thought it was hilarious, but when blind people touch different parts of the elephant and each insists they've found the whole thing… that's exactly the situation here. Just watch Moteok's content. You'll be moved. That's who Moteok is. She's on a completely different level from you guys. Super creative. Sensational. Ha.
"You guys are probably gonna cry. It's that perfect. Your hands and feet will be shaking… Just watch. Watch Moteok's content. You're all making a huge mistake."
If Moteok had been in my chat, she probably would've said exactly that. I was just speaking on her behalf.
"Seriously, go check it out. Even if you guys start crying and begging for mercy, it won't matter."
"W-what!! Guys, seriously… ha… Just go to Moteok's stream at nine and see for yourselves. You guys… ha…"
Explaining it would just make my mouth hurt. Moteok will prove it herself. I believe in Moteok. Our great Dough Lord. The god of mid-tier VTubers. It was frustrating, but I held it in. I really wanted to argue point by point, but for Moteok's sake, I'll let it slide.
"I'll prove it with results."
Ha… Please flatten these people's noses, Moteok. I really believe in you. I'll be watching your stream going "ehehe" too. The Jjang Partisans won't even be able to breathe. Mwahahaha.
Mareummo Moteok went live at exactly nine o'clock, just like always. Normally, while soft Japanese songs played in the background, Moteok's dedicated greeting emotes would scroll up one after another. After two songs, she'd start the stream with her usual greeting.
Moteok's streams were usually calm. Like a pleasant radio you could just leave on. More about chatting and building closeness with viewers than pure entertainment. The kind of broadcast where she reacted with good impact. Like a female friend. Not particularly funny, but full of rich broth.
Today, though, the atmosphere was completely different. A flood of viewers who only cared about pure fun had poured in, causing an uprising. A 500-viewer room had been taken over by a 3,000-viewer crowd. The one-man-army viewers had pushed out the natives and seized Moteok's stream.
Strange floating viewers were spamming the chat, and the original residents looked bewildered by the rapid flood. As time passed, it only grew more intense. Not just spam, either.
"Hello, everyone?"
When Moteok turned on her mic and greeted them, the chat was instantly flooded by people without the original resident badge. They started spamming at lightning speed.
"Ugh… Manager, please clean up the spam."
At Moteok's words, the manager who had been sharpening their sword turned into an executioner and started cutting everything down. Thanks to the manager's hard work, the spam was decreasing, but…
Moteok was a veteran who had been streaming for a long time. She could roughly guess what the chat was saying just by looking at it.
"Ah… Yes. Welcome, Sena's viewers."
Moteok pinched her cheek to hold back the laughter that was trying to escape.
"Do you have a video? Let's watch the video. Tell me what you said. Drop the coordinates."
Moteok watched Sena's VOD and smirked. It was quite a sight. They were confidently dropping coordinates in someone else's stream. It was something Moteok could never do, even if a knife was held to her throat. The way they boldly did something that could easily get them banned was actually impressive. Since they did it so openly… it wasn't brainless, it was artistic. Just like how something so unfunny it reaches the extreme can become funny… Moteok found herself wanting to learn from Sena's bold behavior. That MZ-style confidence of saying whatever you want without caring about anyone else's opinion was enviable.
Moteok liked that about Sena. Sometimes Sena showed a lack of social awareness, but that wasn't a problem. It would be weirder for someone so young to have good social skills in the first place. Moteok had seen many streamers over her long career, and Sena's level of social awareness was actually above average. The abyss ran even deeper.
"Ah… content… So this is the content where you beg for begging. Then… um…"
She hadn't thought about it at all. Honestly, Moteok had forgotten too. It was just a K-promise. Not even a real promise. When asked, she'd just gone "uh… uh" and said okay. Of course she'd forget. Moteok was also struggling with a lack of content herself—who was she to give content to anyone?
"Uh… Then… um. Should we think about it together?"
I finished showering and turned on Moteok's stream around 9:40. The moment I started watching, I was hit with a huge shock. It was so shocking that no words came out.
"Whoa… This is insane… Whoa…"
I covered my mouth in awe. The price of seeing Moteok's chest once… 9.56 million won. To be exact—
[Mareummo Moteok, turn on the half-cam for New Year's!!]
[25 days remaining 3 hours…]
[Donation total: 9,560,000 won]
Another 40,000 won just went up. No way… This is crazy. Ten million won just for one half-cam? So this is what a mid-tier VTuber's half-cam looks like. And she's still not doing it? I would've done it right away. What's the big deal about turning it on once? Honestly, I became a VTuber because I heard they make a lot of money. But real pure-blooded VTubers really do keep their principles. So freaking cool.
"Uh… No way?"
I rubbed my eyes and checked again, thinking maybe I'd misread the 9.56 million. It had become 9.59 million. Whoa, seriously. This is insane. So I saved 9.6 million won? I've watched it like a hundred times… I saved 960 million won? This is crazy. Seriously.
I watched the stream for another fifty minutes after that. This stream… was completely different from mine. It was a real broth stream. Chairman. Vice Chairman. Vice Vice Chairman. Vice Vice Vice Chairman… and tons of other rich people were gathered there, and the donations came with messages full of worry, like they were talking to a girlfriend or wife. So this… is what a broth stream is. I'd never watched one this seriously before… Today I finally understood.
"Huh? Sena, what are you doing here? Hi."
When did I drop coordinates? No. I never dropped any coordinates.
"That's right. I didn't drop any coordinates."
Moteok said with a smile. See? I told you I didn't drop coordinates. I just agreed to receive content because she said she'd give it. Whoa!!
So this is what a broth stream is. I'm witnessing a true broth stream right now. My stream wasn't a broth stream. This is the real deal. While I was thinking that, another two hundred thousand won donations exploded. All the donor names were different. In my stream, besides the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and other famous people, it was all just 1,000-won punches. So this is what mid-tier looks like. So freaking cool.
"This? I'm not doing this. It's a safe asset, so I'm just letting it shoot up."
That's… that's a safe asset? So from mid-tier onwards, it's a completely different world. Moteok told me I wasn't a small-time VTuber… but she's just… This is like a top university student telling a high school graduate that if they work hard, they can get into a good company. I feel deceived. Ugh… I'll be honest. I would've turned it on right away. My VTuber power is only at that level.
I would've done it. Ten million won… Whoa. This is giving me whiplash. If mid-tier is on this scale, how much do the big corporations make? I really can't even imagine. I'm getting whiplash, but I'm also jealous. I want to try being a big corporation too. I want to grow and become a big corporation… Then I could spend like crazy on games…
"Sena, would you do it?"
After about five minutes of silence, a shocking statement came through.
"You'll give me content?"
You said you'd give content. Of course I have to receive it. Give it to me!!
"If Sena does a New Year's rice cake soup making half-cam, I'll do it with you. That's a big one, right? Amazing, right? Your hands and feet are shaking, right?"
