Chapter 47: RP? Squeeze

[Today’s Baekro Update]

=Never imagined Baekro would be the one getting team-killed lol

-For real

-The woman who always shot her own teammates…

-I’m Bubugi, and today was damn satisfying, for real.

ㄴ I’m Bubugi’s friend, he doesn’t talk like that ㅇㅇ

ㄴ Crazy bastards lol

-Baekro complaining to Cheongha after dying is hilarious.

ㄴ ?? : Hoeeeng (Crying sound)

ㄴ ?? : Unnie, meanie!

[But the shotgun really is OP]

=What’s with everything dying in one shot? lol

-That thing’s damage was always strong.

ㄴ That gun becomes OP if you put a Duckbill on it.

-Ah lol, the pellet spread decreases.

-Everything dies if grazed?

-Huh?

-Direct hit Kim Cheongha ㄷㄷ

ㄴ Instant kill cheat ㄷㄷ

ㄴ I can see the line…! (Reference to Mystic Eyes of Death Perception)

ㄴ But it somehow suits Kim Cheongha well.

ㄴ Ooh ooh ya, strong unnie.

ㄴ Will be murdered by father-in-law ㄷㄷ..

ㄴ Who’s your father-in-law?

#[Kim Cheongha is crazy today]

=She team-killed and then looted the body? lol

-No, at that point, wasn’t it intentional? lol

-Baekro flustered…

-Ah, sweet~

-Fact is, she looted it but died without ever using it.

[But if she uses Snap]

=Isn’t Cheongha Korean then?

=Only Koreans can use Snap.

-Seems like it ㄷㄷ

-No wonder her Korean was so damn good.

-She’s Japanese.

-That’s why they talked about changing the donation site.

-Otakus’ rationalization is killer lol.

-Do you like Japanese girls that much?

ㄴ Seriously, setting everything else aside, didn’t they say only Koreans can use it?

ㄴ Then it’s settled.

-But maybe the streamer just can’t withdraw, while the donation function itself still works?

ㄴ Ah for real?

ㄴ So which donation site is it?

ㄴ Dunno?

ㄴ Won’t she just use the Live Stream one?

ㄴ That one’s kinda inconvenient…

ㄴ Still better than nothing.

-Honestly, besides the money aspect, don’t people just send donations to make their messages more visible?

ㄴ That’s true for most 1000-won donors lol

ㄴ Whether the account is linked or not, our money is still spent, so what does it matter?

#[But I saw her chat window]

(Image of Cheongha’s stream chat)

=Why are you guys talking so politely?

=Are these the same people from here???

-Agreed, listening to V-fans talk is truly disgusting.

-The guys who keep bringing up sht I hate seeing are talking so politely over there.

-Fcking otakus.

-If she gets shocked and quits streaming because of that, are you gonna take responsibility, you bastard?

-These guys are just thirsty for a Korean-speaking Vtuber lol

-What choice do they have but to stick together?

“This should be enough, right?”

The next day, Cheongha quickly posted an announcement.

[Hello, this is Kim Cheongha.]

-Due to recent issues regarding my nationality, I have unavoidably changed the donation site.

-Going forward, the donation site will be changed from ‘Snap’ to ‘PayPal’…

To put it simply, I ended up changing my donation site.

The site I switched to this time can be used even by non-Koreans, so the donation money should come through properly now.

‘It might be a little inconvenient, though….’

Still, this is better than not being able to earn money going forward.

Don’t famous streamers sometimes receive donations worth millions of won at once?

Korean is more comfortable for me too, but it’s not like I can’t speak English.

I didn’t want to throw away millions of won just for a little convenience.

The viewers would probably prefer this too, right?

‘Hmm, let me check it once.’

Strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

Ren pressed the broadcast button on the spot.

It wasn’t my usual time, so there would be fewer people, but maybe around 10 would show up.

After waiting for about 10 minutes.

-??? What’s this?

-Daytime stream today?

-It’s a surprise daytime stream!

Viewers gradually started entering the stream.

Quite a few people gathered despite it still being daytime.

What, does everyone have nothing better to do, like me?

“Yes, as those who saw the announcement know.”

“I changed the donation site this time, so I wanted to test it out.”

—So, could you all send some donations?

I made the request, completely devoid of any selfish motives.

-???

-Huh?

-Excuse me? What did you say?

-She’s actually soliciting donations.

-Now she’s really become a streamer.

-Seriously, feels like just yesterday she couldn’t even speak properly..

-Crazy lol

“What are you talking about, I’ve never done that?”

When did I ever not speak properly?

Although I did hesitate a lot back then, it wasn’t bad enough to deserve that kind of evaluation.

Whose stream have these people been watching?

[Anonymous donated 1,000 Won]

-So what are you doing for the daytime stream today?

My baffled reaction was brief, as a donation soon arrived.

Good, the amount is coming through fine at least.

“Hmm, well.”

I didn’t really decide on any content; I just turned it on as a test.

Still, since I started the stream anyway, I decided to just proceed.

“Then first, shall we take some content recommendations for what to do today?”

-What, did you really just come here to solicit donations?

-Are you crazy? lol

-Just go with the standard FPS?

-Let’s play CreWar after a long time.

-Seriously, let’s go back to basics, hyung.

-CreWar? What CreWar?

-That game with the crappy graphics.

-If Cheongha runs that on her computer, it’s just flexing.

-??? : What? You’re playing CreWar on a computer that can run Titan Hunter without lag?

-Give it to me then.

‘Hmm, CreWar…..’

I thought it was okay at first, but lately, I don’t really feel like playing it.

Anyway, these people’s reactions are interesting.

Maybe I should set aside a day soon and play the dinosaur game?

[Guardian of Small Streams donated 10,000 Won]

-How about an RP explanation session?

“Ah, RP?” (Roleplay)

Come to think of it, I never properly decided on things like that.

‘But, I don’t really intend to create an RP.’

RP is ultimately just a tool to make broadcasts more fun while hiding real-life information.

It wasn’t something essential for living as a Vtuber.

Even Kitsune Airi, arguably the world’s first Vtuber, didn’t have a particular RP.

Above all, I mainly interact with general streamers, not other Vtubers.

Carelessly deciding on an RP could potentially create an awkward situation for both sides.

“I don’t really plan on setting an RP…..”

“How about we decide on a fan name and symbol?”

Unlike RP, as a streamer, having these two things was definitely better.

It’s one way to make the streamer more easily recognizable.

These are people who will be with me going forward; I can’t just call them ‘fans’ indefinitely without any affection, can I?

In that sense, this seemed like a pretty good suggestion this time.

But wasn’t that person the one who made me play the horror game?

Why the sudden normal suggestion?

“Alright, then let’s start by setting mine up.”

Since fan names usually follow the streamer, I decided to determine my symbol first.

And shortly after.

-No, even if you ask us;;;

-Let’s pick something closely related to the streamer.

-Just pick anything you like.

-Go with the headbutting dinosaur for CreWar memories?

-That game doesn’t even have Pachycephalosaurs, what are you talking about?

Various opinions started popping up in the chat.

They don’t seem very helpful, though.

-Just go with your birthstone or zodiac sign or something.

“Ah, my zodiac sign?”

Hmm, I don’t know my birthstone well, and for the zodiac, I think I was a Sheep.

Or maybe a Snake…

‘Come to think of it, that might actually be good?’

My zodiac sign is Snake, and my nickname is Captain Cheong, right?

Besides, this year is also the year of the Blue Snake, making it a truly fateful match.

“Alright then, let’s go with Snake for me.”

Let this slip by?

Absolutely not.

The fact that many streamers already use Sheep as their concept also played a part.

-Huh? Snake?

-Well, your eyes are a bit sharp…

-Watching you, there is a strangely similar feeling lol

-Now that you mention it, it really fits lol

-But if we saw the streamer’s eyes in real life, wouldn’t they really feel like a viper’s?

-It’s distinctive and good though.

It was content I would have vehemently opposed during my idol days, but now it didn’t matter.

I’m not an idol anymore anyway, and imprinting a fun image on the viewers was more important.

Besides, snakes can be surprisingly cute when you see them at pet shops, so it wasn’t a big problem.

Of course, excluding those damned Habu snakes.

What kind of viper grows up to 2 meters?

‘But their reasoning seems a bit strange?’

Like a viper?

That’s harsh.

I intentionally made the avatar have a slightly smilier face than my original self precisely because of this, but it seems that wasn’t enough.

“….Well, anyway.”

“As for the fan name, I’ll decide on a few later and maybe post a poll.”

Let’s just decide mine for today, and think about the others later.

If I ask an AI, it’ll probably give me a few good options.

Just as the general settings were decided.

Our room’s VIP sent a donation message.

-Come to think of it, Cheongha-nim, did you know your follower count is approaching 1000?

“Ah, my followers?”

-Ah, for real?

-Yep, hit 1200 yesterday.

-It’s grown a lot considering it’s only been a few months since starting.

-Mine isn’t growing…

-You just need to go to Hong Kong and come back.

Ah, I had no idea.

Collaborating with two major streamers really does have a good trickle-down effect.

Especially since Baekro apparently talks about anime often on her stream, our viewer demographics are likely similar.

“I didn’t know, thanks for telling me.”

To think my followers already exceeded 1000.

My growth is faster than I thought.

Maybe I should light a candle on a cake or something when I surpass 1500 followers later.
