Chapter Title: Signboard Effect
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Guild raids hadn't opened yet, so even if the guild gathered, there wasn't much to do.
I was wondering what to do when a chat line caught my eye.
<How about we take a screenshot since we're all gathered?>
Viewer participation wasn't new for me.
But in the Magical Fight channel lobby, IDs were just lined up in a row, and in-game, we were always split into enemy and ally teams of five versus five.
It was the first time we'd gathered like this with avatars representing each of us in such a peaceful atmosphere.
"How about we take a screenshot since we're all gathered?"
Like guests at a wedding lining up in neat rows, we struck group emotes and snapped the shot.
The game was still in its early days, so there were way too many identical characters.
But it wasn't bad.
<Jealous, so jealous>
<Why's it full at 30, damn>
<Your loss for applying late>
<Game's best content: Family playtime>
<Family playtime is peak gaming>
<Who's the slowpoke who couldn't make top 30?>
<Minus the leader, it's 29. Can't do math?>
<This pic's going down as a family heirloom>
It was hilarious chat.
People making such a fuss would forget me after a few weeks away, and years later, even if I told them the nickname Jeon Jeonseol, they wouldn't remember.
Only a few with good memories would go, Oh, that person... and reminisce.
In a world where even childhood friends you thought you'd die for drift apart just from changing schools.
Declaring these fragile connections precious rang so hollow.
Pfft.
<Why's the leader suddenly laughing?>
<Means she's in a great mood>
<Likes interacting and pics, totally a girl>
<Fr real>
<Jeon Jeonseol, stick around forever!!!>
My virtual model was just a jellyfish, but as my real eyes crinkled in the real world, the model's eyes curved into smiling crescents.
Two upward-bent crescent moons.
A girl, huh? Right now, my inner thoughts were peak middle-school edgelord.
You'll never know the loneliness I'm hiding behind this smiling face. Heh heh.
I saved the screenshot separately.
Made a "Stream Captures" folder on my desktop to store it.
Don't misunderstand.
It's not like I treasure it or anything. Just fan management.
If they later ask, "Where's that screenshot we took together?" and I can't find it, I'd seem like too much of a business streamer.
The ad contract time ended before I knew it, and quitting right away felt off, so I browsed other content for about ten more minutes before closing the game.
Seemed like I should boot up Teamfight Arena to keep the fans happy.
If I keep things too strict for too long, they'll all drift away.
Of course, I shouldn't have any creepy stalkers hounding me.
But if no one stuck around at all, that'd feel lonely in its own way.
No, gotta pay the staff salaries.
From now on, I'm a capitalist streamer!
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Finally, Jeon Jeonseol's official YouTube channel opened.
Todays stream had an ad contract, so the edit had to go up within ten days.
But for a streamer channel, starting with a paid ad video felt too money-grubby.
Jeon Jeonseol's YouTube editor (had never met her in person) Kim Young-sang worked diligently on the edit.
To make the channel's signboard—a masterpiece everyone walking in would enjoy—as the first video.
It took time getting usage permissions from Victory's Team Ascend and Wild's Team Proud.
But the result was incredibly satisfying.
📰 Breaking News ─"The one person I acknowledge as better than me at the game? That's Jeon Jeonseol." Victory's voice at the start of the video.
The certification mark from the world's most famous pro gamer.
Some purists might rage why Victory appears first on Jeon Jeonseol's YouTube.
But that line was too impactful to skip for purity's sake.
In sci-fi terms, it's like a majestic space battleship hitting the first screen.
No reason to complain the captain doesn't show up right away.
I'm definitely aboard that battleship!
YouTube to Mars!
"Kiyoooot!"
Either way, Kim Young-sang applied as editor because he was a Jeon Jeonseol fan.
He'd been a bit scared by rumors that streamers exploit fans' passion with unpaid labor, but he landed this generous-paying gig.
Couldn't help but work with 30 million times the motivation.
Fangirling duplicates money!
Peak hobby-job harmony!
And usually, work done for love outperforms work done for cash in these fields.
The killer Jeon Jeonseol debut mad movie was complete.
Gotta spread this fast!
Kim Young-sang messaged the streamer via Discord, barely catching her before stream end to promo the YouTube.
