First off, the best way to make money, since I have so many subscribers and fans, is to stream.

But I know I don’t have the talent for streaming.

Why do people watch streams? Of course, it’s because they like the streamer, but it’s also because they get enjoyment out of watching.

The reason people spend time on something is because they don’t think it’s a waste of time.

Honestly, I’m not confident I can make people feel that way. No matter how pretty and cute I am, it won’t last long.

‘Besides, I don’t think I’d have fun doing it in the first place.’

So, what other options are there?

First, there’s RyuTube revenue. Until now, I haven’t really found a reason to spend the money, so I’ve been giving it all to Pinku.

It feels a bit like giving and then taking back, but I need the money right now, so I can’t help it.

==

,Eeeeeeeh!?’

I was startled by the amount in front of me.

,Of course I wasn’t using it. It’s all Arang-i’s money, how could I take it?’

Pinku Berry had been saving all the money earned from RyuTube without using it. She even told Anna to put it in my name.

Pinku is called a saint in our guild, but she might actually be one.

How can someone like this exist?

Not touching a single penny of the revenue from a RyuTube channel with 3 million subscribers and an average of 1 million views…

Looking at the amount, it’s impossible not to be tempted. She’s been saving this amount without touching it? She’s just a saint.

,But, I can’t take all this money.’

I know. I know how hard it is to run a RyuTube channel. Pinku does all the editing, thumbnail creation, and management by herself.

She would never have earned this much on her own.

,Pinku-unni has to take half, no matter what. This is absolutely non-negotiable. If you don’t, I won’t talk to Pinku-unni.’

Pinku smiled and stroked my hair.

,Thank you. Arang-ah.’

The sudden influx of money is enough to hire people.

But I don’t plan to end it here. At the very least, I want to treat the people who help me the best.

No matter how hard, annoying, difficult, or unpleasant a task is, it can often be solved with money.

If someone stops working, it’s often because they weren’t paid enough.

That’s not to say I’ll make them work 24 hours a day, but at least I want them to be happy working under me.

When I was a man and working for a salary, there were so many things that made me angry.

Especially when I received my salary and thought, ‘I have to go through all this shit to get this much money?’ That’s when I got really angry… I know the person giving the money has their own position. But I don’t really care.

Of course, if they try to take advantage of me or step over me, the story changes.

From then on, they’ll be dealing with Anna, not me, so I don’t care.

‘Ah, should I open an auction house?’

I remember seeing streamers auctioning off things they didn’t need.

Sometimes strange items sold for quite a lot of money.

I looked around.

‘I don’t really have anything to sell.’

All I see around me are LeoRe goods. I don’t really shop or collect figures, so I don’t have anything to sell.

Sell the clothes I wore? I’d feel bad to Anna and Pinku, who bought them for me.

‘Should I make chocolate again?’

Thanks to my prosthetic arm, which has no body temperature, I have a knack for being a chocolatier.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy making it, so it’s fun. If there wasn’t a virtual world in this world, I would have been a chocolatier.

‘Ah! I also have name tags.’

I remembered the pin-type middle school name tag attached to my uniform.

Usually, the school gives you three name tags, but I received ten extra. That’s because there was a culture among middle school girls of exchanging name tags with friends.

I only had three originally, but Na-gyeong got ten more separately and exchanged them with everyone.

That left me with six name tags. They’re still rolling around in my drawer.

It’s okay to sell all six name tags since I can just get another one if I lose them.

Chocolate, name tags, and hmm…

Ah! Cosplay.

Come to think of it, my parents made me a Brown Dust cosplay with a drone function built into the prosthetic arm-but that’s a no-go too.

My parents made it for me, so I’d feel guilty selling it.

Ah.

I found the best items.

Opera gloves, stockings.

These two.

No matter how advanced the times are, prosthetic arms and legs are different from real arms and legs.

Especially since they have all the senses and are made of bones, muscles, tendons, and other components like human limbs, prosthetic arms and legs look distinctly different from real human limbs.

Kind of like silicone?

I usually wear opera gloves and thick stockings. That’s partly to cover them up, but also to use the prosthetic arms and legs for as long as possible.

If they were ordinary prosthetic arms and legs, it wouldn’t matter, but the prosthetic arms and legs I use are high-tech machines that can feel the same sensations as ordinary limbs.

Even though my family has a lot of money, I don’t want to waste it, so I always wear them.

I have so many opera gloves and stockings that I change them every day. Of course, all the stockings are the kind that you wear up to your thighs, the so-called absolute territory area.

‘I think there will be a lot of demand for these.’

It’s not like these were actually attached to my skin, they’re just for protecting my prosthetic arms and legs, so I don’t think anyone would think much of it if I did anything with them.

Even if they smelled them, they would just smell like machines.

I immediately started taking pictures of each item to sell at auction.

Arang’s fan cafe, which Pinku Berry is diligently managing, is more of a fan cafe than a place to communicate with Arang.

It’s more accurate to think of it as a cafe where people who like games gather.

The reason is, of course, that it’s a fan cafe for people who like Arang, but Arang doesn’t really do anything.

Of course, she occasionally appears in the fan cafe and shares interesting stories with people, but that’s very rare.

So, people just use Arang’s fan cafe like a community.

Unlike other communities, people from all over the world who like Arang gather, and there are really diverse news stories and people are having a good time together.

And the reason why people use Arang’s fan cafe so well is because it’s so well managed.

Controversy? Insults? Fights? There’s none of that. Even if there is, it disappears in an instant.

People who know what kind of person Arang is join Arang’s fan cafe in the first place.

Knowing what kind of person Arang is in this world, would you do something that violates the rules in Arang’s fan cafe?

That’s literally suicide.

That’s why Arang’s fan cafe is a place where anyone can use it with peace of mind.

A post was uploaded to Arang’s fan cafe, which is used by people who all have a proper mindset.

People didn’t think much of it at first, but after checking who the poster was, they thought someone else had made a similar nickname, but next to the [ Lee Arang ] nickname was a mark indicating that she was the owner of the cafe.

[ Must Read ] – Auction broadcast at 10 PM on the 10th

People naturally thought of a LeoRe auction broadcast because of the sudden auction broadcast.

The fact that Arang’s guild, the Munchkin Cat Guild, had taken over the Yggdrasil underworld auction house had already spread to countless users.

So, they naturally thought of the auction items coming from that auction house and went into the post, but what they saw in the post was not a LeoRe screenshot but a real-life photo.

The first photo they saw was of Arang’s five school name tags.

As soon as they saw that, they realized that this auction was not a LeoRe auction but an auction of real-life Arang’s items.

The next item was not a picture of an item but of paper. The words “Arang’s handmade chocolate” were written on five pieces of paper.

Just seeing this made the people who saw the post go wild.

But the most important thing was the next item.

Seeing the small opera gloves that seemed to show Arang’s short limbs, everyone had question marks in their heads, but their minds were blown by the stockings in the next photo.

Everyone knows that Arang wears opera gloves and thick stockings in real life.

From the Brown Dust meetup to the LeoRe meetup and the occasional real-life photos of Arang, she was always wearing opera gloves and stockings.

Opera gloves and stockings that Arang was actually wearing?

The news of Arang’s auction quickly spread from Arang’s fan cafe to other communities.

Despite the sudden news of Arang’s auction, expectations for the auction house grew as the news spread around the world.
