Chapter 119: Awards Ceremony and Fan Meeting

The World Challenge, which had brought a hot craze to Switch users for a while, came to an end.

Contrary to the developers’ expectations that it would take a month, it only took two weeks.

As if proving that they were determined Koreans, they had dug up everything in the event in a short amount of time.

1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place were determined, and each received prize money.

This was the pre-determined procedure.

The prize money would be contacted and delivered to the respective streamers separately.

However, ATX, the development company, wanted to make the situation bigger.

They wanted the streamers who had enjoyed the game to gather together and award the prize to the person who ranked within the top ranks.

The famous streamers and the company maintained a close relationship and gave a good impression to the viewers.

On the other hand, the streamers were simply invited for free and had fun.

It would also be a place of socializing for those with little recognition.

Streamer Ox, who achieved 2nd place in the World Challenge, was also like that.

“There are so many people.”

From the entrance, there was a crowd of people, and when he broke through it and entered the interior, he was able to meet familiar faces that he knew.
Although they didn’t know him over there.

Because of the scale of the game, there weren’t many streamers who hadn’t played it.

Since they had sent invitations to all those who had played, everyone except those who didn’t participate had come here.

It was no wonder that people were crowded at the entrance.

Since they hadn’t placed a separate embargo, the rumors had spread as much as they could.

If you were a viewer of internet broadcasts who was interested in streamers, there was no reason not to come.

“Okay, look here, I’m going to take a picture?”

They couldn’t enter the interior where the awards were being presented directly, but they didn’t control the entry into the building, so streamers could meet fans inside who asked them for photos.

‘I’m jealous.’

That was the case for streamers called large companies.

Those whose names were known. People whose YouTube subscribers were overwhelmingly high, even if the viewers of the live broadcast were low.

All of those stories didn’t apply to Ox.

But he wasn’t disappointed. There’s no disappointment if you don’t expect anything.

Rather, he focused on other things. He looked around the place where streamers were gathering, looking for someone.

I wonder if ‘that person’ is coming.

A person with a position that could be called the Korean Switch itself.

Although she had achieved 3rd place in this challenge, the ranking didn’t matter at all.

A person whose strong presence couldn’t be erased even beyond the screen, and who would attract everyone’s attention just by appearing in this place.

Mollru. Ox was looking for the streamer with that name.

He was also one of Mollru’s fans.

‘I guess she hasn’t come yet.’

But he couldn’t find Mollru, and when he looked around, he could find people who were looking for her like him.

There were people who seemed to be broadcasters conducting outdoor broadcasts like himself, and there were also groups of people who just seemed to be viewers, but the crowd and the number of people were so huge that Ox was slightly intimidated without realizing it.

Not just anyone can become a large company streamer.

It’s attention that’s no less than a famous celebrity.

No, is it just because Mollru is a special case?

‘She might not come.’

She originally seemed like she didn’t like getting attention, so it didn’t seem like she would come to a place where so much attention was focused.

How envious he was when people who had succeeded in going to the league direct posted that they had witnessed Mollru’s real appearance.

But today wasn’t the day.

Ox internally gave up on seeing Mollru.

<Challenge 3rd place ‘Mollru’>

It’s the 3rd place Mollru-nim, if you understand, bow your head.

ㅇㅇ : I’m sorry for not believing, I’m sorry for doubting the Moll Emperor.

<1st place Tex 3rd place Mollru?>

And World is doing a separate awards ceremony… I smell something fishy.

ㅇㅇ : What smell?
ㅇㅇ : What else, I smell that the gallery leader is going to appear out of nowhere.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : ?? What does that have to do with Tex?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Tex, Mollru, and the other kids are close, right? They might be gathering to meet this time.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Mollru didn’t leave a separate notice.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : When did she ever leave a notice and go?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : That’s true.

First of all, I am a master’s degree in Mollruology.

I will start by authenticating first.

(Photos of Mollru’s broadcast follow days, subscription authentication jpg.)

Anyone who has watched Mollru’s broadcast for a long time knows that the gallery leader doesn’t live up to her face value and doesn’t go out much ㅇㅇ Mollru is a voluntary outsider.

She mostly goes out when someone asks her to go somewhere.

She seems to have a hard time refusing people she’s close to.

The reason for the break was only to go play with her younger sister or to see her family.

There is a high possibility that Mollru’s group will have an appointment this time.

Ryu-A is also taking a day off before and after the awards ceremony, and the reason is not revealed, but she’s going to Seoul to meet Mollru.

Mollru, who can’t refuse a request from a close friend, has no choice but to attend the awards ceremony because of Ryu-A, who is coming from afar.

This is my conclusion.

ㅇㅇ : 3-line summary please
ㅇㅇ : So if I’m at ATX headquarters on the day of the awards ceremony, I can see the gallery leader’s face?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : There are only two days left until the day.

I read the top post and it seemed right, so I immediately cut off the train ticket. Can I see the gallery leader now?

ㅇㅇ : You believe this; What if she doesn’t come?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Even if she doesn’t come, I’ll just think I went sightseeing. It’s better than rolling around at home anyway.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Take a picture, Moll-boong.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : If you take a picture, you’ll become a martyr.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Wouldn’t it be faster to be sued by Mollru and eat bean rice?

I had to go out again.

After the challenge ended, I received a call from ATX.

My final rank was 3rd place, and they contacted me in a very polite manner, saying that their situation was like this and could I come.

It seemed like too much aggro would be be drawn, and 3rd place was actually a rank that I had achieved by chance, so I wasn’t going to attend, but

1st place Tex.

-Ah Mollru-nim, you’re coming, right?

Looking at Tex, who contacted me with an excited tone, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to go.

Regardless of my rank, purely to congratulate him.

Isn’t that what acquaintances are all about? Going to congratulate them when there’s something good, and being sad together when there’s something sad.

The rankings of the challenge were quickly revealed.

As soon as the news that Tex and Mollru were in 1st and 3rd place was heard, calls came from all over the place.

It was mainly calls from people who used to be in the Jackie Team.

Since Tex and I were in the challenge rankings, they asked to gather once at this opportunity.

Since all of them had participated in the challenge, there was no problem with the invitation ticket.

In that way, a meeting was suddenly concluded, similar to the Switch party.

Shi-young followed as a driver and manager.

I was just going to take a taxi, but she said she had to follow me.

“People will definitely flock to see the CEO.”
“You’re exaggerating too much. Aren’t people coming to see other streamers besides me?”
“Yes. It’s not.”

Shi-young said firmly as if she wouldn’t accept any objections.

Even though she was driving, she looked straight into my eyes as if she wanted to emphasize that.

She was looking at me as if she didn’t understand my reaction.

“The CEO needs to experience her popularity a little bit. It wouldn’t be bad to experience it this time.”

Is that so. Maybe it’ll get better if I actually experience it.

It was still a story that felt distant to me.

-Please call us before you arrive. Someone from our side will guide you.

It’s not like I’m a three-year-old, so do I really need a guide?

I just have to go inside, right? When I go inside, I thought it would be enough to look at the building map or grab someone and ask for directions.

Um, there was a reason why they said that.

-Isn’t that Mollru over there?
-Mollru, it’s Mollru.
-She’s so pretty…
-F*ck, don’t push!
-Please take a picture with me!
-I love you, sister! You’re so pretty!
-She really came?

It was when I got out of Shi-young’s car and headed for the main gate.

A group of people who were gathered in a black mass like ants discovered me and widened their eyes.

What happened after that… I won’t explain it for long.

Officials ran out of the building with urgent faces.

Those with staff necklaces controlled the people, and a person who seemed to be in charge guided me to a separate back door.

Even though they were sweating from the sudden emergency, there was no blame for me not contacting them in advance.

Instead, they just sent me a look of pity, as if it would be tough.

He had just left after finishing explaining the inside of the building.

Shi-young, who was next to me, stared at my face.

That silent gaze seemed to say this.

Even after this, can’t you feel your popularity? Don’t you still know?

“People are… extreme.”

I muttered and thought.

That’s right, it’s still dazed, but I’ve experienced it indirectly once.

It didn’t feel so far away anymore.
