Chapter Index

    “What do you mean by product?”

    “It’s literally like that. This means that it is a prize that will go to the content winner. Ah, it’s coming at the right time.”

    Buuuung~

    I saw a long trailer and a bus following me passing through the main gate. The trailer stopped not in the parking lot but right next to the field where sports activities were taking place.

    I raised the sunglasses I was wearing with my index finger, placed them on my head, and spoke triumphantly.

    “I wanted to brighten up the school atmosphere. If we have fun together here, won’t we go back to the old mood?”

    Jiingㅡ

    As I spoke, the sides of the trailer slowly rose, as if they were raising wings. Then, the contents inside were clearly visible to the students in the field.

    Loud, loud, loud.

    “Wow, what is all that?”

    “iPad and iPhone? There’s a laptop too! Surely not all of those boxes have actual items inside?”

    “Nintendo! It’s the latest Nintendo!”

    The students, who had been distracted by the Lamborghini and trailer I brought, were murmuring. Some people, after hearing the story I shared with Olivia, had already expressed the anticipation of ‘No way?’ on their faces.

    It was the same with Olivia. She asked me with her mouth open, as if she had just witnessed something absurd.

    “No way, those are all ‘products’… ?”

    I suppressed my laughter and nodded quietly.

    right. The items inside the trailer were all products except Lamborghini. Although they were cheaper than a Lamborghini, which costs hundreds of millions of won, they were, in some ways, much more practical than that.

    Since there are so many students, wouldn’t it be better to have several, even small items, rather than just one Lamborghini?

    Olivia saw me nod and put her hand on her head as if she felt dizzy.

    “What the hell is this… What kind of content have you been preparing for this? And that too in one day… Wait, are you already streaming?”

    She was startled, as if she had come to her senses, and looked around to find the camera. Her eyes suddenly turned to the drone that was quietly floating behind me.

    I said, calming her down as she hurriedly rummaged through her bag as if she were trying to fix her makeup.

    “Ah, it’s okay. I plan to record this content.”

    Since many students’ faces would appear in the background of the school, there were some difficulties in streaming it right away. So, after recording, I planned to edit it and post it on YouTube.

    ‘That was also a condition of the school’s permission to film.’

    Maria worked hard to obtain permission from the school and parent organization in one day and to find a used sports car in perfect condition.

    Staff members who would help proceed with this content piled out of the bus that arrived with the trailer.

    Olivia said as if she was dizzy as she saw the size getting bigger.

    “Wait a minute, I think this is a bit excessive… ”

    Even though she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she seemed uncomfortable with such luxury. In its own way, it can be said that the economic concept is well-established.

    But I tilted my head slightly so as not to be noticed.

    ‘But looking at the price the last time I bought a dress, it doesn’t seem like that… ‘

    After thinking that far, I shook my head to shake off the random thoughts. Everyone has areas where they don’t want to save money.

    “Don’t worry. This is all content too. I’m doing this because I just came up with an idea worth trying, so I can’t say it’s a waste.”

    “Okay… ?”

    Olivia still looks with suspicion. I nodded trustingly.

    It is true that the location of the content was chosen at school because of her situation, but I also wanted to try this type of content at least once.

    Large-scale content that is no different from throwing money away.

    Surprisingly, content that gives missions to a small number of people or an unspecified number of people and offers prizes that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine already exists.

    I knew that the main content of the person with the largest number of subscribers in the United States also felt this way. This meant that the content was guaranteed to have a certain number of views.

    For this kind of content, the cost of producing the product and content itself is a barrier to entry. Although it was not a small amount of money for me, I was able to cover the cost of making one video right away.

    -This project was carried out a little hastily, so there are some shortcomings, but if we produce similar content next time, we can cover the costs by receiving advertisements and sponsorships.

    ‘If our business expands sufficiently, we can advertise our brand on our own.’

    This project could be thought of as a pilot show to test its possibilities.

    ‘And just because there are no advertisements or sponsorships doesn’t mean there are always disadvantages, right? That’s how purely content can be shown.’

    -Yes. If that’s what you think, I’ll work hard to save up the money separately.

    These were the reassuring words of Maria.

    “So what kind of content is it?”

    “I have to explain that now.”

    Just then, the sound of the bell ringing to end the school day reached my ears. Now was the time to start content. I left Olivia with her friends and moved to the side of the trailer. Then, after waiting for a while, I raised the loudspeaker.

    “Can you hear everyone?”

    yes!!

    The students, who looked at the trailer and me alternately without knowing what was going on, responded energetically. In addition to the students who were originally in the field, other students who were coming out after class began to gather and noisily gather.

    ‘The response is good.’

    Thanks to the students’ active answers, I thought the picture would come out well.

    “My name is Lee Min-ho, a creator active on Glitch and YouTube. I received permission from the school and came to film content. As some of you may have already guessed, the items you see in front of you are all products of that content.”

    “Wow!”

    “I know! I also subscribed!”

    “Haha, thank you. This content can be said to be a kind of challenge content. Is there anyone here who usually watches my streaming?”

    “Yes! Me!”

    Surprisingly, a large number of students responded to my question by waving their hands.

    “Wow, there are more than I thought. If so, the story will be easy. Did you know that I did real-life Minecraft content a while ago? This helmet here is the helmet that the streamers wore in that content. It’s a device that overlays graphics on reality. There’s only one thing you have to do. You can last a long time wearing this helmet.”

    I raised my helmet high above my head so that the students could see it.

    “When you wear this helmet, quite vivid fantasies will unfold before your eyes. It could be a dizzying or scary scene, or something that entices you like a product in a trailer.”

    The staff brought a bunch of soft mattresses and backless chairs. Setting on the field was completed in an instant.

    I sat down on one of them and explained with gestures.

    “The challenge begins from the moment you sit on the chair and put on the helmet. On the other hand, the challenge ends the moment you fall on the mattress or lift your butt off the chair in shock. The longer you last, the better the prize you can take.”

    “I think it will be easier than you think?”

    “You just have to endure it, right?”

    ‘Is it really that easy?’

    I suppressed my laughter when I heard the students whispering.

    I can guarantee that more than half of them would not be able to last 10 seconds and would be eliminated. It was clear that anyone who experienced the vision prepared by Maria for the first time would lose consciousness because of its vividness.

    Then someone shouted.

    “Is the first place product a Lamborghini?”

    I flicked my index finger left and right.

    “It is true that Lamborghini is also a product. But that was set aside as a special game prize. If you give it away too easily, it won’t be fun, right?”

    “Wow, give it to me easily!”

    Laughter erupted among the students along with small boos. I thought everything was ready, so I gestured to the staff.

    “Then, if you want to take on the challenge, please follow the staff’s instructions and stand in line! It is a first-come, first-served basis, and if the number of people who last long comes out, latecomers may not be able to take on the challenge.”

    Wow!

    Students rushed towards the chairs. However, because we had hired a lot of staff to prepare for any emergency, we were able to quickly line up.

    I also led Olivia and her friends to line up one of the chairs.

    “Now, come and sit here.”

    “Huh? Can I do it too?”

    Olivia, who had suddenly taken the first seat and sat down, looked up at me.

    “Of course. Everyone else is doing it too, so why can’t you?”

    “But I’m not afraid of anything… What if I last the longest? Aren’t you saying that I got the product because I’m an acquaintance?”

    “I hope so.”

    He personally placed a helmet on Olivia’s face as she started drinking kimchi soup.

    And exactly five seconds later, everyone who sat on the first chair, including Olivia, screamed and fell onto the mattress on the floor.

    “Ugh!! What is this!”

    “Aaagh!”

    “Eugh! It’s mom!”

    The camera captured all of them jumping up and down, regardless of size or gender.
