Ch.325320 – The Real Fan Meeting

# So Ma-ru receives an unexpected quest from NoName.

Difficulty level: About 299,792,458 stars.

“I want to hold a fan meeting. Please find a suitable venue.”

“What, a fan meeting? When?”

“Whenever is convenient. Oh wait, I have an urgent call, I’ll be right back.”

“NoName! No Na-me! What could be more urgent than this? For me, this is-“

*click*

Fan meeting venue?

So Ma-ru had no prior knowledge about fan meetings.

‘When she says find a venue, she must mean an indoor place, right?’

It’s minus 10 degrees outside. Obviously.

In a hurry, he contacted other streamers to gather information about fan meetings.

The first to help was Han Yong-cheol, two-time consecutive TGABD champion.

“I know a decent convention hall near Gwangmyeong Station. How about that? It’s accessible for people coming from outside Seoul, not too crowded, and really nice. It’s owned by Twissy headquarters, so the procedures are simple too.”

“How many seats does it have?”

“I believe it can accommodate up to 300 people.”

The rental fee seemed reasonable at around 1 million won, so So Ma-ru posted an announcement on the official fan cafe and Tgether.

[Notice: Fan Meeting Survey]

This is just a survey to gauge interest. If you plan to attend the fan meeting on Sunday, January 21st, please vote. Thank you.

[Comments]

-I have a certification exam that day but I’m just gonna ditch it lol

└ Please prioritize your life…

-Living in the same era as NoName, I really deserve praise.

└ Absolutely deserving!

-This is happening!!! hahaha

“Oh no, this is a disaster…?”

Within just one hour of posting the survey, it easily surpassed 1,000 responses.

This was beyond what he could decide on his own.

So Ma-ru reached out to NoName’s loyal managers again.

“I have my doctoral dissertation defense right now…”

“I’m on a family trip to Da Nang…”

“You guys are unbelievable!”

They all seemed to have an uncanny ability to smell a thankless task.

Fortunately, there was one angel among them – the furry manager rumored to be from a wealthy family.

“Our company has a performance hall inside our hotel. I’ll ask them to give us a discount. How does that sound?”

“Thank you so much, ILikeCateMatesBest!”

The venue had 1,300 seats.

A scale that would rival any celebrity fan meeting.

This should satisfy all the viewers.

[Attending: 10,158]

[Not Attending: 197]

“What? 10,000 people?”

The cafe had 100,000 members, and somehow 10,000 had already participated in the vote.

Even more shocking was the 98% attendance rate.

The overall mood in the community was already filled with excitement.

[NoName is literally Twissy’s idol lmao]

[So excited for the fan meeting!]

[I’ve prepared a handmade Adella doll for NoName (photo included)]

[Too excited to sleep! Recommend something to do at dawn!]

“Then I guess we’ll have to do first-come, first-served…”

[Notice: Fan Meeting Participation Requirements and First-Come, First-Served Application Schedule]

The once docile herbivore fans transformed into carnivorous T-Rexes as soon as the editor’s new announcement was posted.

-Why only subscribers of 6+ months? So those with 5 months and 20 days can’t go?

-The competition is too fierce… Editor, is this right?

-Don’t make it free, charge for it.

-Ticket price 100,000 won, let’s go

-Please make it free! I’m just a student on allowance!

So Ma-ru quickly took down the notice and put the plan on hold.

But once provoked, the community blazed uncontrollably.

[How about renting Olympic Hall?]

It’s often used for idol concerts, and I think NoName’s fan meeting deserves this scale.

Seating capacity: 4,000.

[I think it needs to be COEX-level.]

With over 10,000 people voting, 4,000 is ridiculous.

Instead of Olympic Hall, let’s go with COEX Convention Hall that holds 7,000.

[Why not just rent Jamsil Indoor Stadium for at least 10,000?]

[Olympic Gymnastics Arena, 15,000 seats.]

[All hail Jamsil Dome with 40,000 seats.]

It was like someone asking for car recommendations as a new graduate and being shown a Rolls-Royce.

Eventually, So Ma-ru went directly to NoName’s house, got on his knees, and confessed his mistake.

NoName’s response was remarkably simple.

“That many people want to come? Then let’s just select 100 people.”

“But over 30,000 people have applied, and with just 100…”

“Whether it’s 100 or 200 out of 30,000, the probability doesn’t really change much. Let’s consider this fan meeting a trial run, and announce that we’ll hold a much bigger one next time. Don’t you think everyone will understand?”

“Will that work?”

“Making them understand is your job, bro. Personally, I think rather than having a medium-sized event, it would be better to have a fan signing where I can properly see each person face-to-face.”

The logic was that people feel more disappointed when they fail a 50-50 chance application, but don’t feel as bad when they don’t win the lottery.

So Ma-ru was skeptical about whether this would be accepted, but he posted the announcement anyway.

[Target and Capacity: NoName subscribers / 100 people]

* * *

At first, everyone seemed disappointed, but they focused on the fact that there would be a “next” opportunity and remained hopeful.

It wasn’t first-come-first-served but random selection, tickets were free, and there was no discrimination based on subscription length, so there wasn’t much to complain about.

Rather, fans who had let go of their expectations began to make a fuss about the increasingly fierce competition.

[Manager’s Report: Applications Exceed 50,000]

-If they charged just 10,000 won each, that’s 500 million won. Legendary lmao

-The barrier to entry is so low that everyone’s trying their luck.

-Tickets can’t be transferred anyway.

[10% of applicants are from overseas lol]

-So the other 10% will fly in from abroad if they win?

└ Surprisingly, yes.

└ Wow damn hahaha

-Damn, NoName is world-class

[Final competition ratio: 81,048 : 100]

-810 to 1 is insane lol

-Does that 100 exclude the 12 people who were bought off in the game?

└ Yeah, fortunately.

└ So jealous… I’m going to start sniping streamers from now on too.

└ NoName has created monsters lol

-NoName has over 5 million subscribers, honestly I think she needs to do 100 Jamsil Dome concerts.

└ And that’s a full 5 million. She gets millions of views every time.

[This even made the news lmao]

-Where?

-Naver main page

-Why though?

-(Clipping: Competition ratio 81,048:100, Even celebrities line up for NoName’s fan meeting)

-The reporter must be a NoName fan too lol

-15 minutes until the winners are announced… please please please

One week before the fan meeting.

NoName announced she would personally select the winners during her livestream.

[Just Chatting – Fan Meeting Winner Announcement]

“This is a machine that measures quantum particle fluctuations in a vacuum to generate random numbers. I thought it would be perfect for the drawing, so I brought it from my dad’s lab. Of course I took it without permission, why do you even ask?”

Drawings always come with people’s suspicions.

Even with the lottery, people complain about certain balls staying in one place, so NoName decided to use a foolproof method.

“A total of 81,048 people participated, and I’ll now select the first winner. The numbers I call will be displayed at the bottom of the screen for reference.”

-Even though I know I won’t be picked, I’m still nervous lol

-Beep boop. All systems normal.

-Look at the class of someone who steals a quantum particle generator just for a fan meeting lol

-There’s a thief among us!

“Number 39482. See you next week, gym0011. Since there are 100 people, I’ll move quickly. Next is number 71773, IAmTubby…”

It feels like a dream right now.

My heart is racing at the thought of lifting up goddess NoName and putting her on a plane.

This is my first verification post, can I get a bump?

[Comments]

-Sigh… life is unfair.

-I’ll be waiting outside, can you hug me after the fan meeting? Even an indirect hug…

└ Gay alert…

-4th place lottery prize 50,000 won vs NoName fan meeting (estimated value: millions)

└ Such a good deal lol

-If only tickets could be transferred, scalpers would be all over this.

Even those who weren’t interested became curious about the record-breaking competition.

Every time she shot the toy gun-like random number generator at the wall with a “pew pew” sound, applause erupted.

NoName awkwardly smiled at getting applause for everything she did.

“Finally, congratulations to number 66501, cannonkinglive. Today’s stream will be short. Bye everyone.”

America’s famous late-night talk show “Cannon King Live.”

Four-time Emmy Award winner, iconic MC of the 40s-50s America – Cannon King had many titles, but perhaps his most famous nickname was “Bulldozer.”

The nickname came from his bulldozer-like boldness in creating unpredictable shows, as well as the fact that he used to be a bulldozer operator in his youth.

Cannon King previewed an upcoming topic on his live talk show.

“Our adorable secretary Kelly just brought me some very good news. It’s not that she’s divorcing her husband.”

He skillfully deflected the malicious rumors about his affair with his female secretary through self-deprecating humor.

As the audience burst into laughter, the expressionless MC’s eyebrow twitched.

“Hey, were you expecting some gossip? I was a little bit. Wait, what am I saying, haha! Anyway Andy, let me ask you a question. Do you know someone with a nameless name?”

“What? What’s a nameless person?”

“Again, do you know someone with a nameless name?”

“I know someone with a motherless mother…”

Cannon barely held back his laughter, covering his mouth with his cue card at Andy’s unpredictable joke.

“…Then let me ask a different question. Andy, do you know who the smartest person on our planet is?”

“Not you, that’s for sure.”

“Definitely not me.”

“Montana Newsom?”

“I’m not asking about your political preferences, Andy. Why are you bringing up the U.S. President’s name here!”

The audience stirred.

Some seemed to have figured out the answer.

“Huh? Does everyone know who it is?”

“It seems our smart audience has already figured it out. With such intelligence, why did they believe the affair rumors… Anyway, please pay attention to the next screen!”

As Cannon King turned his chair halfway around, a large screen lit up.

“Ooooh!”

“Aha, now you get it!”

A young girl in a yellow tank top with cherry patterns all over it, creating a cute atmosphere.

Her bright, alert eyes resembled those of Puss in Boots.

She mumbled something while earnestly moving her bright red lips.

She shot a toy gun almost as big as her forearm in various poses, generating numbers.

[Finally, congratulations to number 66501, cannonkinglive. Today’s stream will be short. Bye everyone.]

The screen went dark and text appeared.

[NoName Meet-and-Greet Event]

[81040:100]

“NoName. To briefly explain, she’s an 8-year-old elementary school student from Korea who solved world-class mathematical problems and defeated 15-year-old elites. A genius among geniuses.”

“What the! Cannon, are you going to Korea for a fan meeting?”

“Yes, that’s right. We did it! We beat those 814-to-1 odds! Let’s give a round of applause!”

The audience stood up and gave a standing ovation.

The proud MC closed his eyes and waved his hands, savoring the cheers.

“We’re going to see NoName next week.”

And that’s how America’s national MC, Cannon King, suddenly decided to visit Korea.
