Seo-jin's unpaid slave... no, manager recruitment announcement posted on the Job Market.

Naturally, a significant number of gallery users were busy using his job posting as humor material.
Some users realized they could profit from this and their eyes shone.
Just when both those who watch Seo-jin's broadcast and those who don't were showing deep interest and attention to this manager recruitment post.
Cup Noodle-Zwa uploaded a new post related to manager recruitment on his channel shiver
It's a piping hot post just copied right now yeah
- This is a food list that will be paid only to our channel manager.
When applying for manager on our channel, it is possible to experience the taste in advance through Sense of Taste Sharing.
The trial version list below is an extremely small part of the foods that will actually be paid, and we inform you in advance that you can only feel 20% of the original taste.
- Potato Chips (Onion Flavor / Pizza Flavor / Salt Flavor / Spicy Flavor / ...)
- Beverages (Cider / Cola / Powerball / ...)
- Chocolate (Mont Blanc / Dad is Predator / ...)
- .....
Gallery users cheered seeing the no-brakes post Seo-jin uploaded.
It makes sense, because this post was a fast ball itself saying if you think Earth-made foods are not worth a manager's one month salary, taste it yourself and make an evaluation.
Meanwhile, a streamer belonging to Trans-Dimensional Streaming ended up thinking this inside while watching this situation.
‘Huh? Isn't this an opportunity in a way?’
Currently, tasting Earth-made food within Trans-Dimensional Streaming is nearly impossible.
Because Seo-jin absolutely didn't distribute Earth-made food except for the review event held a while ago, wondering what he was thinking inside.
And in proportion to that, viewers' curiosity about Earth-made food was rising day by day, so eventually streamers also couldn't help but be heated up.
But in this situation, Sense of Taste Sharing where one can taste various Earth-made foods albeit indirectly came up on Seo-jin's channel?
Just how to endure this?
Like that, countless streamers followed the trend and boarded the trend called ‘Earth-made Food’.
And Lisa, a Cat-folk streamer belonging to ‘Ilysion’, a dimension where beast-folk mainly live, was no exception.
“Everyone, do you happen to know that? Actually, the fact that the species called Cat-folk... has a quite sensitive body compared to other beast-folk.”
“Ahem...! Anyway, having a sensitive body also means feeling the taste of food much better than other beast-folk. In that sense, the only streamer who can explain the feeling of today's content, [Earth-made Food Sense of Taste Sharing Experience] to you best is me!”
At Lisa's incredibly confident words, viewers expressed doubt.
“It's not that, I contacted Choi Seo-jin-nim in advance and got permission. And he also readily permitted my request. In other words, I turned on the broadcast in a state where I received official permission now!”
“Then from now on... I will try starting the Sense of Taste Sharing experience for Earth-made food! First of all, I will try tasting this thing called potato chip first!”
Wait a minute.
So what did you say?
Potato?
For a moment, viewers in Lisa's room started posting comments quickly as if concerned about something.
It was so.
To the majority of dimensions, potato was merely a bizarre crop that grows well in barren environments but has no taste at all and even has poison.
But seeing the Room Manager trying to eat food made with such potatoes saying it's good, how could they not be worried.
However, before they could even stop her, Lisa pressed the Sense of Taste Sharing button for [Potato Chip – Original Flavor] and—
“Mmph!”
The next moment, Lisa stumbled greatly.
“No.... It's because it's freaking tasty.... Damn tasty.... Haaa....”
“No.... I'm telling you it's really super tasty? Amidst something crispy yet salty taste coexisting, as potato's unique texture is added, it's really too tasty.... Wow.... How can such a taste come from potato? This is truly a revolution itself!”
Only after seeing Lisa's tail shaking madly like a metronome behind her back while saying so did the viewers realize she was telling the truth.
“Come to think of it... Seo-jin-nim once said this to me.”
Lisa spoke in a somewhat trembling tone.
“That Potato Chip Original Flavor... belongs to the axis of the most basic taste among various potato chips. That other potato chips produce a unique taste that cannot be compared to original flavor....”
Like that, viewers were indiscriminately dropping comments mixed with half envy and half spite into the chat window.
Watching such comments, Lisa unintentionally ended up feeling an emotion mixed with some superiority.
'I am experiencing food that viewers cannot taste! I can manipulate viewers' emotions!'
“...Well, although potato chips I haven't tasted yet like onion flavor or pizza flavor, cheese flavor are inexhaustible, leaving that as future pleasure... this time I will try tasting 'Nuclear Fire Taste Noodle', the food I really wanted to taste!”
Viewers expressed some concern at Lisa's words, but to the current her, such comments were not even entering her eyes.
Because, as a hidden hardcore fan of Earth culture, not only did she personally really want to eat cup noodles.
Since there was a history where 'BestSpeciesInTheUniverseElf' made a fuss after eating cup noodles in the past, she instinctively realized the fact that eating something mediocre cannot attract viewers' attention.
So what she chose was exactly this 'Nuclear Fire Taste Noodle'.
If she eats this cup noodle boasting extreme spiciness from the name, in all high probability, her fame will spread throughout the gallery.
'And it's not that dangerous of a situation than thought....'
Because the sensation she experiences through 'Sense of Taste Sharing' is only 20% of the original.
That means, no matter how spicy Nuclear Fire Taste is, the blow inflicted on her tongue is merely 20%.
No matter how sensitive her five senses are compared to humans, and she is a spice-wimp of a serious level, surely she wouldn't be unable to endure 20% spiciness?
“Now, then... I will try attempting sense of taste sharing of Nuclear Fire Taste Noodle from now on...!”
Like that, Lisa pressed the Sense of Taste Sharing button with a somewhat nervous touch—
“...Ah.”
The next moment, she opened her two eyes wide at the unknown sensation assaulting her tongue.
The sensation Lisa felt first of all was the feeling of 'tasty' itself.
This intense sensation, enough to make all foods she has eaten until now mediocre, was enough to bring even some ecstasy to Lisa.
However, that ecstasy was also momentary.
Without even a gap for Lisa to be immersed in the lingering feeling, the second wave struck her tongue.
“...!!!”
That was not simple spiciness.
It was just pure pain.
A sensation solely to give agony and pain to a person.
The worst weapon itself created by a ramen company to snipe a specific ethnic group that habitually uses the expression 'bland' unless eating something fairly spicy!
“...Ah, Mother....”
Thud.
Unable to endure that feeling where the ecstasy of being tasty and the devil of hell seemed to coexist at the tip of the tongue, she eventually lost consciousness and collapsed.
