[Who is Majiya?]

[Didn’t the guy above ask who Majiya was yesterday too?]

★[Majiya]

[So what’s Parallel, you weeb bastards?]

[Another Virtual YouTuber?]

[She’s my wife phuuuu]

[What, did Majiya get a hidden class? lol]

★[Wicker Town 2) Server’s First Hidden Skeleton Knight Info]

… – – – – – – – – – – …

The server’s first hidden class has appeared.

These two posts represented the situation of Ppajijik viewers.

[Wicker Town 2) Server’s First Hidden ‘Skeleton Knight’ Info]

Hidden achievement condition: Kill 500 hostile monsters while HP is below 25%

(Achievement_scene_Majiya.clip)

Below is the hidden class info

[Hidden Class: Skeleton Knight]

– Upon class change, thirst and hunger gauges disappear. You no longer feel thirst or hunger.

– Deal 50% additional damage when attacking living creatures.

– Cannot recover HP above 25% of maximum.

The HP cap seems a bit harsh, but isn’t this a g- good option?

With proper equipment, it seems like you could fly through dungeons

Ppajijik732: Majiya? That VTuber got it, right?

Ppajijik354 (Author): Yeah

On one side, people were curious about what effects the hidden class had and how it would impact the server.

Ppajijik242: I understand perfectly, bursungjjok

–
Ppajijik395: If she’s an employee, isn’t she a regular person? Why is she in the server?

–
Ppajijik846: She used a special invitation ticket, and Wicker allowed it

–
Ppajijik731 (Author): She’s called an employee but you can just think of her as a VTuber

–
Ppajijik731 (Author): It’s definitely not because I made her my oshi like a VTuber

–
Ppajijik035: At least she’s better than my oshi

–
Ppajijik035: Mine only streams like 4 times a year

The other side was curious about who Majiya was and what she did.

There was a clear difference in expectations, but.

In any case, the synergy between these two curiosities resulted in the current viewer count for Majiya’s stream.

[(🔴Live) Wicker Town Season 2 – Parallel Situation Room Day 2] 👪19,423

#64Cubics #Parallel

However, if you don’t row when the opportunity comes, fleeting interest fades just as quickly.

So if Majiya’s broadcast had been the same as yesterday, most would have left within an hour, and the remaining viewers would have stayed around 4,000, not much different from yesterday.

–
?

–
Why does the broadcast screen look like this?

–
What is this lol

–
What’s the situation room challenger lol

–
Show us the hidden class

But today Majiya’s screen was split into 6 parts.

Moreover, the large central part was divided into top and bottom.

They were the same size, so it was impossible to tell which side belonged to the channel owner.

People who joined initially chuckled at this point.

They’ve seen 3-way, 6-way, 9-way splits of one’s own cam or avatar before.

But it was their first time seeing someone else’s screens spread out like shorts on all sides.

–
Is the top Majiya?

–
No no

–
It’s the bottom

–
It’s the bottom

–
It’s the top

–
When will you show the hidden class?

–
It’s the top though?

–
I’m telling you it’s the bottom

–
The whole neighborhood’s trolls have gathered lol

–
Top bottom top top bottom

–
-Wrong-

–
The top is Majiya and the bottom is Dora

–
Ok I understand perfectly

–
Please show the Skeleton Knight

Interest soon manifested as viewers’ cheerful reactions, but.

This naturally increased the broadcast’s chaos and confusion.

Ultimately, it was up to the broadcaster to organize this environment.

Casual viewers often decide whether to stay or leave based on how this situation is handled.

It was also the first branching point that separated rising newcomers from those who don’t take off.

In other words, everyone was waiting for Majiya to say something to sort out this situation.

–
Why aren’t you saying anything?

–
Seems nervous lol

–
Show us the hi?dden class

Amidst the tension.

Majiya, who had been staring at the chat, opened her mouth.

[Welcome viewers to the Parallel situation room. From now on, I, Majiya, Parallel’s general manager, will introduce you to Parallel’s first generation, Another Idol.

It will only take 5 minutes. I’ll blow your minds in that time. Can we do the hidden class test after that?]

–
?

–
Uh

–
No

–
Protect my head

–
Hidden!!!!!!

–
I don’t wanna get blown

[Alright, I’ll take that as permission and start with a video right away.]

–
No we didn’t give permission lol

–
Who said it was okay!!

–
What is this lol

–
Aren’t you going to demonstrate the hidden class?

–
She’s doing whatever she wants lol

A normal employee should have trouble remembering which video had which title in this situation.

But Majiya went straight for the 1st anniversary new song music video.

She started by seizing the initiative with a collaborative song completed through the members’ utmost efforts, featuring awesome dancing and singing.

Rather than explaining complicated concepts, characters, and names, seeing is believing.

Just showing one video, and the most recent well-made one at that, was enough – PR team leader Oh Seok-jae’s advice shone through.

:: Teacher, it’s been way past 5 minutes ::

OTNXSU9XcTFURXdtd0tweHpoait4akVEQVJoTmMrTm16VjVSWTNEeEJiVGF3eGJ4d09Dbk9xSjFmZ2lHN2pvYg

[Thank you so much. I asked for just 5 minutes, but you watched short introduction videos of all four members for a total of 15 minutes. It feels rewarding as a manager to promote them.]

–
Huh?

–
Now please show us the hidden class

–
Show the Skeleton Knight

–
If you keep doing this, we might send you to the abyss?

–
We’re gonna burn you

[Since you already spent 15 minutes, let’s spend 5 more.]

–
?

–
No lol

–
Ah geez lol

–
Abyss

–
When will the Skeleton Knight come out?

–
Abyss

[So who’s in the server? As you can see from the broadcast screens I’ve put in the top left and right, Maru and Dora are enjoying Wicker Town, and Rain and Komari are also scheduled to join the server in order.]

You know well that you came here curious about the hidden class or me.

But please wait just 5 minutes.

15 minutes.

No, 30 minutes.

As if flowing like water, the natural member introductions continued….

[Phew. 30 minutes have already passed. There’s still a mountain of things to talk about.]

–
?

–
??

–
She’s crazy

–
When are you going to show the Skeleton Knight?

–
You still have more to say…?

[Well then, since you’ve already spent 30 minutes, how about 45 minutes….]

Thinking this couldn’t go on, people started sending donations to try and change the topic somehow.

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Why don’t you introduce yourself, Manager Majiya? ::

[Thank you for the 10,000 Clouds. Since there’s no VTuber called Majiya on Earth 666, you’ll have to go to Earth 896 to find her.]

–
lol

–
Ma-shameless lol

–
Yeah, anyone can see you’re a VTuber~

–
You just haven’t had a debut stream lol

–
Show us the hidden class

At this point, Majiya was just a shameless VTuber roleplaying as an employee.

If this wasn’t a professional broadcaster, what else could it be?

Honestly, her broadcasting sense overwhelmed most newcomers.

It was suspicious enough to make you wonder, ‘Did they hire a real broadcaster as a VTuber for promotion?’

In a situation where it wouldn’t be strange to be swayed by 20,000 viewers.

Even while introducing the members just now, she didn’t stop mining. The monster hunting continued as well.

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Please show us a special move ::

[Should I end the stream?]

–
Stop

–
You crazy b*tch lol

–
What the lol

–
How is that a special move lol

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Please show us one of your talents ::

[Unfortunately, my organs are inside my body so I can’t show you.]

[…..]

–
Don’t ignore us lol

–
That’s too much

–
Seriously lol

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Your avatar is cute ::

[Yes, our first generation member Akari Dora drew it for me. Her drawing skills are amazing, right?]

–
Look at that sharp promotion in the meantime

–
Ah geez lol

–
She’s talking about herself lol

–
Her escape skills are lol

[Oh, it looks like Dora has lost all her items and is in a very frustrated situation. Shall we watch together for a moment?]

–
Huh?

–
Let’s watch

–
Yes, let’s watch lol

–
When are you going to show the Skeleton Knight?

However, the promotion that was supposed to be 5 minutes was already at 40 minutes.

As the casual viewers who came to see the Skeleton Knight started to leave, the viewer count dropped to 15,000.

But Majiya was clearly determined to do her job even if all these viewers left and only 3,000 remained.

If I keep showing you fun videos, what are you going to do?

That was exactly her mindset.

Even as the chat descended into chaos, there were still people laughing along with the videos Majiya shared in between, so her passionate promotion showed no signs of stopping.

The broadcast atmosphere was on the verge of exploding, practically about to burst.

It was up to Pino to normalize the situation.

:: Pino has donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Demonstration 1 ::

Five monsters summoned along with the 100,000 Cloud donation.

Three were zombies, one was a skeleton, and the last was a witch.

A mid-level monster that throws ranged fireballs and is a living creature.

The Skeleton Knight’s effect is 50% additional damage against living hostile monsters.

It takes two or three hits to kill other monsters, but.

The witch, despite being a mid-level monster, died in one hit.

Even while explaining the members’ videos she had playing, Majiya lightly parried the incoming fireball and charged at the witch, precisely beheading it.

–
Oh

–
Look at that damage lol

–
Strong lol

This scene may be familiar to those who’ve been watching since yesterday.

But Majiya’s combat is very interesting to the casual viewers who flocked in.

First of all, heads fly off with every slash….

:: Pino has donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Demonstration 3 ::

–
They die so easily

–
But how does she hit the head so well lol

–
That aim, wow

Moreover, her HP has been at 1 this whole time.

Throughout her dashing at a hair’s breadth from the swarming monsters, her swung diamond sword consistently beheaded the monsters first with its superior reach.

:: Pino has donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Demonstration 7 ::

–
Wait, she’s not recovering HP?

–
I thought fighting at 1 HP was a joke, but why is it real lol

–
Crazy person lol

How does she know to parry fireballs flying from behind?

And she doesn’t just deflect them, but angles them to hit other monsters.

It was a display of physical skill that even the 64 Cube veterans who’ve played games for a long time and like to give advice would admire.

:: Pino has donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Demonstration 10 ::

–
Wow

–
Her combat power is insane lol

–
Forget the extra damage to living creatures, she’s just g- good at fighting lol

By cleanly slicing through a total of 50 monsters, Majiya proved she was qualified to change to the hidden Skeleton Knight class.

However, combat was just a natural part of her duties to clear out interfering monsters while mining to support others.

Even while killing the swarming mobs, Majiya was constantly thinking.

It’s too disappointing to end the promotion like this.

There’s still so much charm of the kids that she hasn’t shown yet.

[(🔴Live) Wicker Town Season 2 – Parallel Situation Room Day 2] 👪16,241

But when she saw viewers leaving as she passionately promoted with detailed explanations, yet increasing as she coolly mowed down mobs, Majiya’s thoughts changed a little.

‘Maybe I went too far for people who came to see the Skeleton Knight.’

Casual viewers have their own preferences. Showing things by saying “How about this?” like now only works when the other person is very receptive to promotion.

For example, casual viewers who became interested in Parallel and VTubers and came during the eve event.

In the end, promotion is more effective the more people you show it to.

And the more interest the other person has in what’s being promoted, the better the effect.

So Majiya naturally recalled the advice she heard from PR team leader Oh when she arrived at work earlier.

“This is a bit of an advanced skill. Well, Jia bean is still a beginner, so just listen for now. There will be times later when you’ll realize, ah, this is what he meant.”

“Okay.”

“So. Let’s say I promoted some product? Then the reactions will be split in two. ‘Wow, that’s a great product’ and ‘Hmm, so what?’. The former is already done. That person is likely to buy the product if you just match their mood well. But what about the latter? Should we just let them go?”

“I’m not sure.”

“For the latter, you have to persuade them. You need to capture their heart first. Even for a product they’re not interested in, most people will think ‘Maybe I’ll buy it sometime if I have the money’ if recommended by someone they like.”

In other words, it’s fine to stubbornly maintain the existing promotion style.

But by changing the approach, you can maintain the viewer count longer while maximizing the promotional effect.

Coincidentally, Majiya is in a large server with the members.

Although support is the main purpose, it’s not bad to gather and show something if the opportunity arises.

‘We can all mine together.’

Maru consistently gets donations over 100,000 won.

Dora has been busy running away from monsters all day since joining today.

What if Majiya follows them around mining and kills monsters for them?

She can maintain the interest of those who came to see the Skeleton Knight, while also showing the cute sides of the members.

But right now, both Dora and Maru are busy with their own mining and growth.

To forcibly pull them out of the ground and gather them, some kind of excuse is needed.

At that moment, what Majiya sees is the diamonds in her inventory that she had been accumulating since yesterday until today.

There wasn’t enough space, so I had compressed them into 9:1 ratio diamonds, and there were two sets of those.

If converted to regular diamonds, that would be a whopping 1,152.

Unlike regular diamonds, whose market price fluctuated as they were constantly traded to miners, these maintained a relatively stable average price, so selling them would easily fetch 70,000 WK.

Since there were two people, that would be 35,000 WK per person if divided.

Considering the fuss we made over 10,000 WK yesterday, it was an enticing amount.

–
[Whisper] Me: Maru, bring Dora to the plaza and let’s sing a song.

–
[Whisper] Me: Then, shall we mine together?

–
[Whisper] Maru: Really?!

–
[Whisper] Maru: Ah.

–
[Whisper] Maru: Doesn’t this make me look too easy?

–
[Whisper] Maru: Well, I’ll think about it if you give me 10,000.

I sent the offer.

– [Whisper] Me: One set of compressed diamonds if we sing.

The speed at which the hedgehog, Dochi, who was sulking because I didn’t give him 10,000 yesterday, cheered up was instantaneous.

– [Whisper] Maru: Where are you? I’m going right now!!!!!!!!
