Tell me right now
『Congratulations! You've obtained a Store Opening Voucher!』
"What?"
- ?
- ?
- ?
- ?
The moment the store opening voucher message popped up in front of me.
My brain froze for about three seconds.
And then right away.
【Mission Success! Gacha Roll - 100,000 won】
I hit mission success without a second thought.
- lmao
- lmao
- Frozen face but still smashing mission success
- lmao brain iced over but capitalist fingers keep going
- This guy's a total psycho
"Guh... fuh...! F-Fucking insane!"
Words weren't coming out right.
No way, pulling this through a single gacha roll?
Popping a 1% chance on the first try?
'Then why didn't my Cinderella come out back then? Or Yuno...? Evernight?
You fucking bastards.
If you'd come out like this, I never would've been broke.
Pushing aside those old gaming memories now turned to dust.
I kept rolling the gacha nonstop to seize this stroke of luck right in front of me.
"Alright, riding this momentum—keep rolling!"
『Congratulations! You've obtained a Basic Vehicle Selection Voucher!』
『Congratulations! You've obtained 100 Yorang Coins!』
『Congratulations! You've obtained a Server Megaphone!』
『You've obtained 100 Yorang Meals.』
『Congratulations! You've obtained SIG M7!』
『You've obtained 100 Yorang Meals.』
『Congratulations! You've obtained a Title Selection Voucher!』
- ?
- Wtf is this
- Huh
- This rigged af?
- 8 rolls and 2 are Yorang Meals lmao
- Normally it'd be 8 out of 8 Yorang Meals right?
- Vehicle coins title megaphone store—all in one go wtf lmao
- Ate up everything from premium gacha legend
- Server might need to audit this for real
- Can a low-tier even hit like this????
- Low-tier bailout money hitting hard
- Ttaraktta-nim 1,000 won donation—thank you.
[Madlad madlad lmao this dude dumping 3 years of luck here?]
- Gongguri Bongbong-nim 1,000 won donation—thank you.
[That sad Mung who stopped gacha streams cuz money dried up? Gone forever ㅇㅇ]
- Heukma Birdrexco Rydon delete pls-nim 1,000 won donation—thank you.
[So what's next?]
A flood of reactions and 1,000-won punches flying in.
And filling my brain.
'Hngh... ohhh...!'
Dopamine.
Truth be told, I had a ton of worries.
Among monsters casually hitting 50k followers easy.
What could a sub-500 low-tier even do?
No matter how hard you grind under someone else, inflows don't grow.
Collabing with big corps boosts recognition, not viewers.
To escape low-tier, I had to take the lead on something.
Beyond just a strong presence.
I needed to give viewers a reason to seek out my room specifically.
'And that fun has to come from the streamer themselves, not just next to someone else...'
Ah, thoughts getting messy.
Honestly, no clue.
"Screw it, time to open the Hostess Bar straight up. Mungnyong's Hostess Bar opens, recruit talent. Time to seriously suck up that cash."
Time to go full Hostess Bar concept.
Which naturally brings up the question.
- How you recruiting talent tho?
- Who's joining a low-tier? (Not hating)
- Mid-tier joining a hole-in-the-wall? Nah
- Even Mungki's too big for hole-in-the-wall
- To snag Mungki you need street shell game level at least
- lmao
How to recruit talent?
But honestly, this was too easy.
Day 2 on Yorang Garden server, tons of folks who locked in RP but clueless on how to use it.
Suddenly a Hostess Bar shop pops up recruiting talent?
Tons would bite.
Even cops or gangsters could moonlight, no problem.
So.
"First, server announcement up, everyone come to my StarLive. Recruit live on StarLive then. This is Plan D."
- Perfect Plan D ㄷㄷ
- Been waiting
- Mung-sama
- You have arrived
- Your emperor, Hostess Bar Mung, returns
- Mung-op so cool I'm clapping like crazy ㅠ.
I immediately started prepping the Hostess Bar.
"Announcement first...."
StarLive ON right away.
"I'm handsome, smooth talker, great at fleecing girls for cash—unemployed losers, atten-HUT! Here to hand you jobs."
Alright, talent recruitment begins.
++++++
"Whoa, some hilarious dude just joined the server."
- lmao
- lmao
- lmao
Right after I-Mungnyong's server announcement and stream swept through Yorang Garden.
Kim Tteulgeun—stream name Dalgeun—finally stopped laughing and kept going.
"Calls himself unemployed loser on live... then bowing nonstop saying side gigs ok... hilarious."
- Yup
- Talent recruit on live, store promo via server notice lmao
- But opening store right after it dropped? Planned from start?
- Probability super low tho how'd he pull it
- Live showed gun and car so no rip-off worries—hilarious
"Guy's prepped hard, this could blow up? Should I try being talent?"
- Huh
- Fr but you seen Mungnyong's face? Harsh compare
- Nah Dalgeun even you ain't hostess material?
"Nah why? Why so harsh. Mom says I'm handsome? You calling out my mom?"
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Dalgeun creator words got mad credibility ㅇㅇ
- Ok Dalgeun MOM approved
- Yeah yeah that's true, Dalgeun Queen loves Dalgeun
- Nailed it
- Spot-on from Dalgeun creator POV, shocked me
Dalgeun seriously thought the Hostess Bar concept was solid.
'Talent gig lets you build all kinda connections, life's a server... cops gangs hospital triangle setup... neutral spot makes sense.'
From running servers like this a few times.
Neutral spots were obvious anyway.
Repair shops, restaurants, taxi unions.
Could even turn non-neutral.
Plus no one did Hostess Bar this seriously in RP.
Let alone opening a actual shop.
'Fresh hook for viewers.'
Perfect timing to jump on a chance like this.
And at the same time.
About 4 big male streamers thinking the same as Dalgeun.
Headed to Mungnyong's Hostess Bar like it was planned.
Opened the door and realized.
-"Whoa, with your faces talent might be tough, but I'll hustle sales hard to make you all rich."
I-Mungnyong—whoever he was—definitely a fresh face on server.
+++++
- Mungki you handle this pressure?
- Opens Hostess Bar recruits talent and it's Dalgeun Hanihot Peron Jas Hyeokchi lmao
- All corps incoming insane? Weight class ok?
- Their follows combined rough math 4 mil lmao
- And their boss under 500 lmao
- lmao
- lmao
- Hostess biz might straight crush under pressure
- Caw! Caw! I-Mungnyong! I-Mungnyong! Just die!
- Now just dying lmao
- No escape bullshit already dead lmao
"...."
If I were just a viewer right now, I'd be laughing my ass off.
Low-tier handling bigshots? Hilarious if you're not the one.
'If you're not the one, yeah.'
Honestly expected maybe two during promo.
Even those two probably just messing around, no real talent intent.
Figured RP back n forth lightly.
If real customers came, fake Hostess Bar vibes.
But.
-"Boss! StarLive promo all done!"
-"Boss! Cleaning finished!"
-"Boss! Booze all stocked!"
-"Boss! Practiced all the Hostess Bar techniques you taught!"
The setup got way too serious, my mind went blank.
Wanted to pull Plan E: bail hard.
'Why everyone so serious under a low-tier.'
These guys all had strong personalities, led their own streams too.
'Felt like buying elf slaves but IRL why me.'
That's novel stuff only.
'Snap out of it.'
Stay sharp in tiger's den and you live.
Plus they're all my underlings now anyway.
'Worst case just blast 'em all with the M7.'
Yeah, cleanest option.
Light mental armor up.
"Alright, got a rough list of customers coming today?"
-"Yes! All set!"
"One more time: revenue from customers you bring goes fully to you! Of course! Minus 10% fee!"
- Fml lmao
- "Fully" means nothing huh?
- Fully - fee < why same breath
I immediately started staff training.
"When customer comes, act like you'll rip out their guts for 'em! But only if they got cash! No cash? Not a customer! Not a girl! Just roadside cig butt!"
-"Got it!"
- Hostess boss schooling hard lmao
- This real life RP?
- Mungki this real RP right? ㅠ Your face makes it believable
- Why big corps nodding so hard lmao
- Hired corps as staff? You sane?
Quick RP table tennis pre-open.
Shop opened and customers flooded in like waiting.
But kinda obvious.
4 big male streamers hyping every corner.
Who wouldn't bite?
'Not asking much, just cash to suck dry Hostess Bar... crowds inevitable.'
All first meets in-game whatever.
But stream history built inner closeness already.
Shop suspiciously smooth operation kicked off.
Plus.
Ring ring ring.
-"Mungnyong! You... what happened? Said you going straight now? What's all this...."
"Fuck... long time no see, just think of me as the bastard you raised."
-"Wha, what?"
"Come once or I'll specially comp Mentor free."
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Mung-op slight reaction incoming?
- Used it well
- Nailed it
- Loose trans) Mentor freebie
- Freebie what~
Now at level where others throw RP my way.
And one huge fact more.
[Current Viewers: 250]
Viewers suddenly doubled boom.
- Moong Peak 250 broken!!!!!!!!
- Ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok ogo-gok
- How they all fit in this tiny spot?! How they all fit in this tiny spot?! How they all fit in this tiny spot?! How they all fit in this tiny spot?!
- Hnggggg! Hnggggg! Hnggggg! Hnggggg! Hnggggg! Hnggggg! Hnggggg!
Viewers hyped too.
- Anonymous donor-nim 1,000 won—thank you.
[But fr no Hostess Bar experience right? ㄷㄷㄷ]
"None. Zero real deal. 1k donation thanks! I'm clean af. Clean Mungki, human condom!"
- Kyaa lmao
- Big Mung Ki
- Best Best Ki
- King God Ki
- But your looks ain't human condom material?
- Condom other meaning? Heh (wink)
- Mung-op ㅠㅠ come to me condom me too
1k punches flying sweet too.
Flow good.
Vibes right.
'Stream blowing up fr?'
Wake up tomorrow viewers suddenly 4 digits?
Thrilled excited butterflies.
Everything going perfect?
That thought hit.
-"Hold up, boss come out? Got a lot to say."
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
Uninvited customer appeared.
"Whoa... who this, Hospital Director sis from back then? Doing well?"
-Doing well? Nah, you got nothing to say to me?
"What I gotta say to sis, uh... if anything you're pretty today?"
- Pretty today bullshit lmao
- Speech so cringey
- Face covering the cringey speech whoa
-"Pfft! What? Psycho?"
- Laughing fml
- Mungki you different from us how
- Just taller handsome voice shoulders bod that's it ㅡㅡ
- Oh
- ㅠㅠ
- Why same lines but viewers laugh for you not me
- Oh
- ㅠㅠ
Step step.
Leruri character approaches mine.
-"Nah not that... forget it. Was gonna say something, but seeing your face melts it."
- Oh
- Oh
- Every line stabbing heart suddenly
- Wanna punch Mungki outta nowhere? Mungchu lmao
- Wanna beat Mungchu fr ㅁㅊ
- Sneaky Mungchu bait ㄷㄷ ㅁㅊ
- Mungchu bait straight scummy ㅇㅇ ㅁㅊ
Don't care viewer reactions.
-"Counsel me a bit."
Suddenly drops counseling talk.
Counseling? What she dropping?
Hostess Bar for counseling?
Thought brief.
-"Thinking of another concert later? But worried someone might turn on mic again... stressing."
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Emergency! Super emergency !!!!!!!!
- Kill this chick now! Kill this chick now! Kill this chick now! Kill this chick now! Kill this chick now! Kill this chick now!
- Romantic Hostess Romantic Fist I-Mungnyong awaken! Evil!
Leruri drops bomb.
'This WWE? Saying with smile?'
Felt Lera psycho hard.
Seriously think pull M7 shoot?
But obviously can't now.
'Everyone spotlight on us sudden.... at least 70k viewers now?'
Rough count big corps in Mungnyong's Hostess Bar: 8+.
Worst situation no doubt.
Can't run. Can't pivot.
Best play then.
"What'd you hear?"
-"Uh, huh?"
"Can you say straight what you heard? One by one slow? Whisper in my ear."
Frontal assault.
Say it yourself.
Big corp girl say it.
Put "tit-suck" on your tongue.
'Tell me right now.'
You can't.
Impossible.
