[TS] Starting the Broadcast - Chapter 93
Early Pepero Day EventPepero Day event.
Actually, one might think what's so important about mere Pepero.
It's just a chocolate snack that can be bought for 1,500 won at a convenience store.
But when it's "handmade" and depending on who made it, it can be given tremendous meaning.
Especially from a "fan's" perspective, it's an amazing thing to receive something in return from the "star" they like, after always offering tributes.
A gift that only a small number of people can receive, not everyone.
It's natural to feel special about that.
For this reason, my broadcast was now burning hot as if a volcano had erupted.
-I'll donate 2000 water balloons, please give me Pepero!
People trying to get Pepero through donations.
-I didn't even know Pepero Day existed all my life. I've never received one. Please take pity on me...
Types stimulating sympathy.
-Noona! I'll just die if I don't get Pepero.
Even malicious ones mindlessly threatening.
Truly diverse viewers were gathered waiting for the selection time.
When I changed the broadcast title to "Pepero Day Event Winner Selection", the viewer count surpassed 3000.
It seems even spectators who aren't my usual viewers flocked in.
"Everyone please calm down and listen. There are criteria for the winner selection we're about to do. I posted a notice about this on the broadcast station a week ago, and I emphasized checking the notice content every time I broadcast recently, so you should all know."
-Wow, I'm seeing her for the first time today but she's so pretty. No wonder she's famous these days.
-Is this person originally a female cammer? Or a game BJ?
-Look at the newbies flocking in because there's an event ㄷㄷ;;
-Help! Help! Help! I feel like I'll have a heart attack because she's too pretty. So, give me Pepero please!
-Kick out the treacherous officials!
While checking the viewers' chattering chat reactions, I displayed the broadcast station notice on the screen.
[Hello, this is BJ Hani who's growing well with your love. I usually receive a lot of love and support from viewers, so I'm going to hold a Pepero Day event to repay you even a little, and I'm planning to select a total of 50 people to gift handmade Pepero. Then how will those 50 people be selected? Please refer to the method below.]
[After consideration, I'll give to these people without selection. I apologize if there are viewers who feel upset about this. But I'm human too, and I want to give a small repayment to those who have helped me a lot usually and are the most enthusiastic supporters of my broadcast. Please understand.]
[I'll send Pepero to 5 people selected by lottery among 17 special members excluding the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Thumbnailer. But there's a condition. You must be present on the event broadcast day to receive the prize. So make sure to attend!]
[At first I was going to distribute 40 without any conditions, but there's a possibility that someone who just came in could be selected, and in that case, fan club members might feel greatly deprived, so I set the minimum condition as regular member rank. Please understand.]
-Honestly, if you have complaints about #1, that's not right. They're the ones practically feeding Hani.
-Don't need anything else. If I'm chosen it's ok, if not I can't accept it!
-Runhani: Thank you. I don't usually eat chocolate much, but I'll have to eat this for sure.
-Gangnam Octopus Legs: I won't eat it but keep it well preserved as a family heirloom.
"Hey, Vice Chairman, this has an expiration date you know? Stop using those greasy lines used in female cammer rooms here."
-ㅋ Vice Chairman gets slapped and is bewildered.
-Treacherous officials don't work on Hani. Only loyal subjects like me can survive.
-Welldone Poorlydone: Unni I love you. I'll eat it deliciously!
"Oh? You were connected. Alright, I just send it to that address?"
-They know each other's address? ㅓㅜㅑ!
-The secret relationship between the host and a high school girl... I like it even more.
[Yuri Greatly Welcome has been forcibly removed.]
After ending the light commotion, I run the roulette program.
And check the special members currently connected to the broadcast.
"Hmm... Excluding the three who already received, there are 9 out of a total of 17 special members. 5 out of these will receive, so the probability is higher than expected?"
-Almost 50% probability ㄷㄷ;;
-Why couldn't I become a special member. I resent my past self.
-Honestly, to become Hani's special member it would take at least 2 million won? Not easy.
-Still, isn't that cut much lower compared to conscienceless female cammer rooms?
-That's true. When you see female cammers with 200-300 viewers having special member cuts of 5-6 million, it's really ridiculous ㅋ
"Come on, don't mention or disparage other broadcasts. Then I'll set up the roulette with 9 people and spin it."
The roulette is divided into 9 parts and the set nicknames are displayed in each spot.
The moment I press the start button, the roulette plate spins round and round.
The speed gradually decreases, and when it comes to the end and goes back and forth between two boundaries, everyone's interest peaks.
The first winner decided like that is!
"Loli is Truth has been selected! Congratulations, Loli is Truth."
-ㅋ Look at that nickname.
-When Hani did a special member broadcast station tour content before, that person's room was plastered with 10-year-old anime characters and it was hilarious.
-Just type ㄹㅇ.
-Loli is Truth: Thank you.
After that, 4 more people were selected by roulette.
Special members with joy and sorrow crossing in an instant.
I congratulated the selected people and comforted those who missed the chance, safely finishing the first stage.
"So 10 have found owners. Then it's time for the remaining 40, but there are too many people to be easy."
The current viewer count is 3200.
It's a new record excluding joint broadcasts.
I checked that among them, about 1850 are regular members while earning points nicely.
"It's too much to spin the roulette for this many people, so I prepared another program. If you press confirm, regular members will be randomly assigned a number between 1-1850, and we'll select using that method."
-Oho... Is this new technology?
-Should we press now?
"Yes. Those who want to participate can press."
-Ack! Don't press everyone! You'll get a virus if you press. You'll get hacked!
-Wow... it's real. Everyone absolutely must not press.
-ㅋ Who do you take for a fool. You're trying to reduce participants.
"If you spread strange rumors you'll be blacklisted. I'll accept participants for 30 minutes. After that, I won't accept due to procedural issues, sorry."
I set a timer and spent time exploring the broadcast station board with viewers.
30 minutes pass in a flash.
Checking the participants, there were 1657 total participants, maybe some were idle.
"Alright, that's it! Sorry but we'll start with 1657 people who applied."
-Oh! Number 7. Isn't this likely to win?
-I'm 777, how about that? ㅋ
-I got 1657, is this possible?
-Please 28! Please 28! Please 28!
"We need to select 40 people total, so I'll go quickly. First I'll select 10 people then take a short break. Here we go!"
A slot machine appears in the center of the screen.
When I make a gesture of pulling the lever, the number slots start spinning rapidly.
Soon after, the first winner's number is revealed.
"The lucky number is 157! Congratulations Hani's Underwear Thief... No, but why is this person's nickname like this?"
-ㅋ Look at that nickname sense.
-We can't hand over Pepero to such a malicious person. Cancel the selection ㄱㄱ
-Honestly that's a bit;;
-I think it would be better to gift a blacklist instead of Pepero.
-Hani's Underwear Thief: Please spare me! I just did it to get attention. I'll change my nickname right away.
"Hmm! I'll check their identity first."
I check that viewer's chat log.
-Hani's Underwear Thief: Hani-nim be careful of your underwear. I heard there are many theft incidents these days.
-Hani's Underwear Thief: Hani-nim perhaps red?
-Hani's Underwear Thief: I want to wear Hani's on my head.
"No, this is a serious pervert!"
[Hani's Underwear Thief has been added to the blacklist.]
-ㅋ Nice!
-Phew! Saved one Pepero.
-Is this an event? Actually an execution?
"Everyone, there was a brief commotion. I'll continue."
I encountered an unexpected landmine from the start, but after that I was able to select winners smoothly.
Winners cheering and the rest sighing.
That's how the selection of 10 people ended.
"Now 30 Pepero are left. But it would be boring if it's just selected by luck until the end, right?"
-Honestly it's a bit dull.
-For real, I who's single and unlucky am too pitiful.
"Here's a surprise proposal! I'll take challengers from now on. Anyone who can surprise me or the viewers through a Skype call. I'll put you right on the winner list."
-Ooooh!
-You'll regret it? You'll regret it? You'll regret it?
-Are you saying to do a prank call now? Host, you're making a mistake.
-Can you really handle our 'darkness'?
Viewers laughing ominously.
I put the pre-prepared Skype number at the top of the screen.
"But I'll only accept calls from viewers who reveal their nicknames!"
-Coward! Let's fight fairly with instigation and fabrication!
-Isn't anonymity guarantee basic?
"What on earth are you trying to do on the phone that you need anonymity guarantee?"
-That's... I don't know! Do it anonymously!
-What a waste. I was about to play the saved product number right away.
-The malicious ones are properly crazy.
-For real, it's been a little less than a month, seems like it's time to clean house again.
After a brief commotion, the first call came through Skype with the nickname revealed.
I wonder if they can surprise me.
The atmosphere of the broadcast was heating up.
