[V-Live Company Landmark Construction Funding]

1st place Mayo 13,000 (Mayo)

2nd place Mr. Drunken Supni 10,000 (Supniti)

3rd place GN25 Delivery 10,000 (Han A-yeon)

4th place Mr./Ms. Boston Seo-a 8,500 (Seo-a)

5th place Miho’s Kidney 7,500 (Miho)

Thanks to some pre-announcement and hard work in creating an atmosphere, nearly 160,000 had been raised in just 20 minutes since the mission started.

Considering the time during the Diamond CK, it was certainly a fast pace.

However, when thinking about the target amount, it was still ridiculously insufficient.

“Was I too hasty? Should I have built more connection until February like other companies?”

There was no point in regretting as the dice had already been cast.

Moreover, it was still too early to give up.

The 29,458 came from my stream.

It wasn’t a small amount.

It was currently the top funding amount.

But I needed to evaluate everything relatively.

Due to being the head of the company, the stream attracted more viewers, 10 to 20 times more than other friends’ broadcasts.

The 29,458 had a significant portion from those viewers.

It meant there was still enough potential in my stream.

It seemed that after sharing a lot of information about today’s landmark construction funding, they were confident that the main game still remained.

It appeared they wanted to sponsor then to receive more attention.

Oh! These d*e-hard fans are so attention-seeking.

Except for Mr./Ms. Boston Seo-a and Mr./Ms. Seo-a’s House Is On Fire, they were subtly avoiding focus.

“On the other hand, other streams are impressive.”

Between 100 to 200 viewers.

Even so, seeing that everyone was closely following the lead showed how fans were working hard not to let the streamer down.

And the technologies that made fans act that way were proof of each streamer’s talent.

“Actually, the ability to raise funds is the most crucial skill for a streamer.”

No matter how excellent other stats are, if the ability to raise funds is lacking, becoming a full-time streamer is impossible.

It just ends up being a side hobby.

Looking at the current situation, it seemed everyone had at least the minimum qualifications in that regard.

“More than that, things are starting to slow down…”

Noticing the initial momentum had weakened significantly.

If I didn’t change the atmosphere soon, the bored viewers might leave mercilessly.

“Ah, I’m going to briefly regulate the local broadcasts. Everyone, please focus.”

The first 20 minutes had passed.

That was enough time.

Considering the impatience of Koreans, I needed to present the main content soon.

“From now on, the pledges from the V-Live Company members for funding! And the talent show! Let’s get started! So all you viewers, don’t go anywhere and stay tuned! We’re starting right now!”

The second phase for funding begins.

***

I realized one thing while watching the Pangea TV broadcast before my regression.

Wow! There are really a lot of people in the world whose money is just sitting around.

I don’t understand how people have so much money.

Could it be that those who became wealthy from coins and stocks during COVID all flocked to Pangea TV?

It was a somewhat plausible guess.

Considering the crazy increase in Pangea TV’s sales through the COVID period.

In any case, the conclusion is that there are far more big spenders in the streaming community than we can imagine.

And most of those big spenders were addicted to dopamine and stimulation.

“Our company is a small fry. Companies with big-streamer members can manage things based on their own weight, but….”

For companies like ours, where low-tier streamers are clustered together, it ultimately depends on how many viewers we can attract.

So I diligently brainstormed for a month to create the current format.

“The existing competition missions felt like individuals doing their own thing. Each person had to work hard for the fans during the designated time, and if there were insufficient members, we pulled together more through broadcasting WWE-style.”

There was hardly a feeling of doing something together.

At most, there would be a cuckoo showing personal talents for funding, while everyone else would chime in with a few comments during the exploration.

Perhaps this was natural.

Competition funding was a place where enormous amounts exceeding 100,000 candies could easily be exchanged.

After all, ‘money’ is an inherently sensitive issue for everyone.

If a slip of the tongue or genuine expression came out, it would inevitably end up being memorialized in the community, so everyone tends to behave a bit more reserved than usual.

“But we are different. From the beginning, I’ve paid the most attention to this aspect.”

I, Lucy, Miho, and Mayo are from the same crew, and Supniti and Han A-yeon were also carefully recruited from the start to emphasize communication.

Na-roshi goes without saying.

He almost sees me as a benefactor in his broadcasting journey.

Money issues? It’s sensitive, but our previous efforts weren’t trivial enough for true feelings to emerge among us or for anyone to sow discord.

So from the beginning, I could set the stage for a ‘big game.’

“We’ll begin in order. The first is Mayo! Everyone, please join Mayo’s stream.”

We decided the order by drawing lots.

The first drawn was Mayo.

All streamers from V-Live Company simultaneously joined Mayo’s broadcast.

Additionally, the viewers opened multi-view and entered Mayo’s stream.

In an instant, Mayo’s viewer count skyrocketed from 220 to 1,300.

Though invisible, I could be certain.

Big spenders, intrigued by the news about today’s landmark construction funding, were itching to sponsor right away.

I know I may be a small broadcast, but I have experienced being in charge before.

In a place where multiple streamers are watching.

And at that moment when my hefty sponsorship message would burst in among many viewers’ chats, I could feel the thrill.

For that moment, I was the protagonist of the broadcast.

The surprised streamers and the chat filled with awe at the hefty sponsorship.

If a big spender craves attention, they wouldn’t be able to resist such a ‘big game.’

“Mayo is proudly declaring right here.”

Silver hair and blue eyes.

Dressed in a charming school outfit, the avatar was certainly appealing.

But such plainness could not describe Mayo.

It had become a trademark.

The thick mayo sauce draped over her right side was strikingly eye-catching.

Her avatar looked noticeably different compared to before the regression.

Back then, it had a much more tame and simply cute feel.

In any case, the changed Mayo confidently extended her hand, pointing forward, and declared.

“Mayo is going to do a 100-candy sponsorship to eat a bizarre food pinball!”

– What?! I’m a newbie from Lena World; can I really see the legendary mayo sweet and sour pork I’ve only heard about?

– Bizarre food pinball? If this happens, it’s going to be chaos with fermented skate and stinky tofu, are you really going to do this?

– Eung-ae~ Mayo is a baby, so she needs to drink formula, let’s go for infinite formula pinball!

– But isn’t it a bit off for a virtual to do bizarre food pinball? If it’s not visible, can’t it just be pretending to eat with sounds?

– For real, there have been virtual streamers doing bizarre food pinball, but since it’s just sounds, it gets boring, and when the sponsors ask for it, they just show photos of food. Compared to human streamers, it’s not much.

Public sentiment was slightly ambiguous.

But it was something I had already anticipated.

Would the returned person like me not be able to predict such a situation?

I nodded my head in approval as a signal, and Mayo, confirming that, shouted even more confidently.

“Mayo is not an irresponsible streamer who only makes sounds and secretly throws away food. As proof, Mayo will conduct the bizarre food pinball mukbang with the camera on!”

– What?! Y-You’re going to turn the camera on?

– A minor’s pinball mukbang… that’s really precious, I might want to eat it too.

[No Backup Man was banned from chatting for 10 minutes.]

– Camera on is definitely a must! Take my money! Hurry up and start pinball!

The viewers, excited about the camera on bizarre food pinball, began to stir up a commotion.

Is this really that effective?

Upon receiving an unexpectedly explosive reaction, Mayo stammered slightly, announcing that the basic menu would be 100 candies, with variations of 300 and 500 candies depending on the difficulty.

But the already exploded public sentiment didn’t care about that; they were clamoring for her to hurry up and start the pinball program.

[Mayo has sponsored 1,000 candies for the competition mission.]

– 10 mayo sweet and sour pork, let’s go confirm the legendary menu I’ve only heard about.

[Evil Individual has sponsored 1,000 candies for the competition mission.]

– Eung-ae~ Baby Mayo, add 10 bottles of formula! Must drink with a bottle!

[Pinball Roulette Individual has sponsored 500 candies for the competition mission.]

– Big spoonfuls of mayo in mala soup, let’s go!

“Um… putting mayo in mala soup is a bit challenging. So I’ll put only one into the pinball at a cost of 500 candies.”

Mayo, who had been slightly flustered by the explosive reaction, quickly began setting up the pinball.

Rapidly rising, she soon surpassed me to take the top funding spot.

It was a successful start to the funding phase two.
