[Han Tits! Han Tits! Han Tits!]
[Just the audio alone is video-worthy lololol]
"It'll take some time to prepare our character models, so what would you like to do?"
"We're just here for a visit today, so I'll swing by once you're ready."
"Sounds good. Oh, mind if we take some photos to prep our modeling?"
"Sure, go ahead."
After posing for photos, I got ready to leave, waving off the director's reluctant gaze.
"Let me walk you out."
"No need. I was planning to chat with the viewers on my way."
"Ah, got it. Take care, then. Looking forward to seeing you next time."
"You too, Director. Stay safe and fighting!"
We exchanged goodbyes and I stepped out of the TG building, slotting my phone into the stand.
[Whoa, outside at last]
[Thought I was gonna suffocate in there]
"You bastards. Good work."
I chatted with the viewers as I headed toward the taxi stand.
[lol so filming's postponed?]
"Yeah. Or rather, it's not postponed—it's normal to not shoot an ad on a day trip. Doing it same-day is the weird part."
[lol seeing our boss would make anyone's eyes pop]
[What's next?]
"Why ask me? You crazy?"
[????????]
[Ah, this flavor lololol]
[Mmm, that familiar salty taste—our boss for sure]
The viewers were getting used to my nonsense now.
"But don't I seem like I'm just mindlessly streaming?"
[Nah, your face keeps it going]
[lol fair, but just your face and voice make the world fun]
"Even all-rounders usually have some concept. Games, mukbangs, whatever. But me? What even am I?"
[Why ask us lololol]
[Cooking, games, military—it's hilariously random lol]
[Gotta follow trends? Your freshness is the best part]
[Cha-ching!]
[Non-Participating Mayo Rice donated 1,000 won]
[Eyes going through puberty?]
"Hmm. Kids, concept's already fucked, so content brainstorm. Throw out ideas."
[lolol you're the living concept and breathing content]
"Taxi's here. Keep the ideas coming."
[How about wish rights?]
[What's a wish right?]
[Baby's a tiny wish right lol]
[Gonna lose my mind lololol]
While bantering with viewers, I hopped into a taxi that pulled up at the stand and headed home.
"Sir, I'll be chatting with viewers while streaming. That okay?"
"Of course, no problem."
"Thanks."
I buckled up in the taxi and checked my phone—viewers were still pitching ideas.
[Mukbang again?]
[Cha-ching!]
[Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won]
[Cosplay?]
[Sounds good]
"Nothing fresh?"
[Where's fresh these days? Harder to find un-done stuff]
[Fr tho everything's samey]
[Special forces training with a girl was peak fresh]
[lololololol]
Nothing from the suggestions really clicked.
[New game go go]
[VTubers are big now]
[Boss quit bitching and open wish rights]
As we discussed content ideas, a voice came from the front.
"We're here."
"Thanks. Drive safe."
Before getting out, I told viewers I'd switch to PC, ended the stream, and headed up to my rooftop room.
"Hoo— Status Window!"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Ding! Remaining balance: 4,340,000 won I lit a cigarette in the yard and settled up the TripleNet earnings—4.34 million won left.
"Master, I'm hungry."
"4.24 million now. Does our little fluffball have a black hole in there?"
I scooped up Snowy from my head with my palm, and she flopped over belly-up like she was starving.
I poked her belly with a finger, then bought a flower and fed it to her. She hopped up to my shoulder.
"Is that your dinner table for real?"
"Yeah."
I exhaled smoke and fiddled with my phone. New games, VTubing, mukbangs, cooking streams, wish rights—ran through the viewers' suggestions.
"Hmm..."
VTubing seemed the freshest, so I looked it up. One-offs were insanely pricey.
"Fuck, avatar's two mil?"
Popular VTubers had sunk tens of millions into theirs. Cheapest started at tens of thousands, ballooning endlessly.
Budget option: phone facial tracking with a 50k shared avatar. Full-body? Tracking gear pushed past 2.5 mil with peripherals.
"Snowy. Do this or nah?"
"Do what Master wants."
Buying gear for a one-and-done felt wasteful, so I hit the used market.
[Full VR set for sale, full tracking OK]
VR motion sickness, barely used.
Like new, used a few times.
2 mil
VR was mainstream now—tons of listings. I scrolled and called an eye-catcher.
"Hi, calling about your used market post."
- Hi. Gear's fine. Buying?
"Yeah. Wire transfer now. Heavy? No car."
- Heavy for a lady, lots of pieces. Cool on price, I'll deliver.
"Perfect. No haggling. Buying."
- Send address, heading out now.
"Thanks. See you soon."
Sent the spot from my last sale for shop unlock. App chat: 10 min.
Masked and hatted for safety.
"Snowy, stay home. Back quick."
"Wanna go."
"Ten minutes."
Coaxed off clingy Snowy and headed out. Close spot—arrived fast. Lit a cig waiting; seller showed.
"Hi. Used market?"
"Yeah, buyer here."
"Check the goods."
Bag was heavier than expected, packed with gear.
"Need all this for tracking?"
"Minimal set. Works fine, but big room might need base stations if trackers clip. More freedom? Add trackers."
"Thanks."
Paid, hauled home. Snowy greeted me.
"Master."
"Good girl, holding the fort."
"Yeah."
Pet Snowy as she nuzzled, sat at PC. Felt like I forgot something. Stream check—viewers rioting.
[Said you'd switch right away!!]
"Oh, right."
[lol oh right?]
[You think we're your umbrellas?]
[lol so done]
"You fucks. It's 'cause I love ya."
[Heuuung boss love]
[lol brainless]
"Alright. Secret weapon to calm the masses."
[o_o big one?]
[Will it rise? Will it?]
Viewers flipped instantly. I queued a song.
[Kya mountain bunny come quick lolol]
[Boss nursery rhymes are certified lol]
Sang the old bunny ditty slow. Snowy rolled off my head, hopped to desk.
【Hoppity hop, where ya goin'~】
She twitched tiny ears, bobbed head to my voice—like mini dance.
Pat Snowy post-dance, finished song.
[Kya even kidsong slaps when boss sings lol]
[Snowy's the boss now]
[Cute af how's baby bunny so smart]
Good vibes in chat. Dropped line.
"Thanks for watching. See ya. Bai bai."
[???????]
[Crazy bitch lolololol]
[Tell boss go, Snowy stay]
[Cha-ching!]
[Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won]
[Snowy snack fund]
"Whoa, Snowy. Chairman got your treats."
Snowy paw-bobbed at screen hearing me.
[Snowy got me grinning, cheeks hurt lol]
[Cuteness overload]
"Red, thanks. Later."
[Crazy still daytime wtf]
[Tomorrow or next time?]
"Short stream, plus TG trip. Tired."
[Fair lol]
[Rest up, evening stream or choke]
"Depends on condition. Bai."
[bb bb]
[bb]
[Han Ga-eul ended broadcast]
Stream off, unpacked VR—overwhelming mess.
Sighed, googled step-by-step. Setup straightforward.
Lucky: High-end webcam had facial tracking.
TripleNet basics: upper-body + face trackers. Full avatar games: whole-body suit-up.
"Snowy, pick one."
"Okay."
Studied VTuber flow, browsed avatars. 2D shared: 50k. Custom: 500k to millions.
"No 3D. Way too pricey."
3D mostly bespoke, millions base.
"Why pick?"
"Like doll play. Choose fave."
"This."
Snowy picked pink-haired like me. Custom one-off: 2 mil.
"Quality fire, price insane."
Full package: game-ready to stream-ready.
"Really want this?"
"Yeah."
Snowy picked color match over quality.
"Snowy chose, so buying."
Paid, downloaded, setup per manual.
"Done."
Screen: avatar blinked, head-tilted with me.
"Whole new world unlocked."
"Follows Master."
"Yup. My moving doll."
Snowy bobbed head mimicking avatar, amazed.
"Snowy, c'mere."
Held screen-blocking Snowy, pondered. Test stream pre-viewers: made TripleNet sub-account, went live.
[Han Gyeoul started broadcast]
[Newbie Virtual Streamer ^v^]
