I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 47

# [Baekro’s Recent Updates]

= I never imagined Baekro would get team killed, hahaha

– For real

– The one who used to k*ll the same team every time…

– I’m Bubugi, and today was refreshing, for real

ㄴ I’m a friend of Bubugi, and he doesn’t talk like that, yeah

ㄴ Crazy people, hahaha

– Baekro dying and arguing with Cheongha is so funny

ㄴ ?? : Hoh-ehng

ㄴ ?? : Unnie, I don’t like you!

# [But the shotgun is really OP]

= What is it that one shot kills everyone? Hahaha

– The damage on that is originally strong

ㄴ That g*n becomes OP when you attach the right parts

– Ah, hahaha, the spread is reduced

– Do you d*e from just grazing it? Huh?

– Direct k*ll Cheongha, whoa

ㄴ Instant k*ll cheat, whoa

ㄴ You can see the line…!

ㄴ But Cheongha seems to fit that vibe

– That red medicine, wasn’t she the daughter of a Yakuza? She seems tough

ㄴ Wow, she’s a strong unnie

ㄴ Being killed by your father-in-law, whoa…

ㄴ Who’s your father-in-law?

# [Today, Cheongha was crazy]

= Did she k*ll her own team and then go on to farm items? Hahaha

– No way that’s accidental, right? Hahaha

– Baekro in shock…

– Ah, so sweet~

– The fact is, she ate items and then died without using them at all

# [But if it’s Snap]

= Isn’t Cheongha Korean? You can’t use Snap unless you’re Korean

– It seems like that, whoa

– No wonder her Korean is so good

– She’s actually Japanese. That’s why there’s been talk about changing the donation site

– Otaku idiots justifying things, hahaha, do you really like Japanese girls that much?

ㄴ For real, that can only be done by Koreans. So that’s a dead giveaway

– But isn’t it just the streamer who can’t withdraw money? The donation feature should work, right?

ㄴ Ah, for real?

ㄴ So what’s the donation site?

ㄴ I wonder? Wouldn’t they just use a live stream site?

ㄴ That’s a bit inconvenient…

ㄴ But it’s better than not having anything

– Honestly, it’s all about spending money, so isn’t it just to make the text easier to see?

ㄴ Most people donating a thousand won do that, haha

ㄴ Either way, whether it’s linked to an account or not, our money goes out, so what does it matter?

# [But I saw her chat window]

(Cheongha’s broadcast chat window screenshot)

= Why are you all being so nice? Are you guys the same people as here???

– I agree, hearing what the Bubugi fans say is really disgusting

– The people who I don’t want to see keep coming back, yet they speak nicely there. Otaku idiots

– If you suddenly get shocked and stop broadcasting, are you responsible for that, you b*stard?

– They are just craving a Korean-speaking VTuber, hahaha

– They have to band together, what else can they do

* * *

“Is this enough?”

The next day, Cheongha quickly posted a notice.

[Hello, this is Kim Cheongha.]

– Due to recent issues related to my nationality, I have inevitably had to change the donation site.

The donation site will be changed from ‘Snap’ to ‘PayPal’…

In summary, I have changed the donation site.

The site I switched to can be used even if you’re not Korean, so I suppose the donations will come in properly.

‘It might be a bit inconvenient…’

But it’s still better than not earning money.

Famous streamers sometimes receive hundreds of thousands of won in donations at once, right?

I might be more comfortable with Korean, but it’s not like I can’t speak English.

I didn’t want to waste a million won just for a bit of convenience.

I bet the viewers would prefer that too?

‘Hmm, should I check it out first?’

Even a steel horn can be taken out quickly.

Ren pressed the broadcast button on the spot.

It’s not a usual time, so there might be fewer people, but at least about ten should show up.

After about ten minutes of waiting…

– ??? What is it?

– Is this a daytime broadcast?

– A surprise daytime broadcast!

Slowly, the viewers started to enter the broadcast.

Even though it was still daytime, quite a few people gathered.

What’s going on? Does everyone have nothing to do like me?

“Yes, as the notice said, I’m going to test out changing the donation site this time.”

⸻So, can everyone please donate?

It was a request made without any ulterior motives.

– ???

– Yes?

– Huh? What did you say?

– You’re actually collecting money

– You’ve really become a streamer now

– For real, it feels like just yesterday you couldn’t even speak properly…

– Crazy, hahaha

“What do you mean, I’ve never done that?”

When have I been unable to speak properly?

Of course, back then, I hesitated a lot, but I didn’t think it was to the point of receiving such evaluations.

Who the heck were these people watching?

[Anonymous donated 1,000 won]

– So what’s today’s daytime broadcast about?

For a moment feeling bewildered, shortly after, a donation arrived.

Alright, the amount is coming in well.

“Um, well…”

I didn’t particularly set a content theme since it was just a trial run.

But since I was already broadcasting, I decided to just go with it.

“Then, first off, let’s get some content recommendations for today.”

– What, were you really just here to collect money?

– Are you crazy? Hahaha

– Just go with an ordinary FPS?

– Let’s play CRW for the first time in a while

– For real, let’s find the roots, bro

– CRW what?

– The graphics are so outdated

– If Cheongha runs that on her computer, it’s just a scam

– ??? : What? Tyheon also runs without lag on a computer, and you’re talking about CRW?

– If that’s the case, give it to me

‘Sigh, CRW…’

At first, I thought it was somewhat okay, but these days, I don’t really feel like playing it.

By the way, the reactions from these people are interesting.

Where should we find a time to play a dinosaur game soon?

– How about an RP description session?

“Ah, RP?”

Thinking about it, I hadn’t properly established that.

‘But I don’t really feel the need to create an RP.’

RP is just a tool for making an entertaining broadcast while hiding the red medicine.

It wasn’t something essential to live as a VTuber.

After all, even Airi, who could be considered the first VTuber in this world, didn’t have a particular RP either.

More importantly, I usually interact with regular streamers, not other VTubers.

If I hastily set an RP, it might create a burdensome situation for both sides.

“I’m not planning to set an RP really… how about we establish a fan name or symbol first?”

Unlike RP, having these two as a streamer would definitely be better.

It’s one of the quicker ways to make your presence known as a streamer.

They will be people I will continue with, so I can’t just call them fans indefinitely.

In that sense, it seemed like a pretty good suggestion.

But wasn’t that person the one who convinced me to play horror games?

What’s going on with them suggesting something normal?

“Then let’s set mine first.”

Typically, fan names are chosen based on the broadcaster, so I decided to set my own symbol first.

And after a short while…

– No, just ask us about it;

– Let’s pick something that’s closely related to the broadcaster

– Just pick whatever you like

– Based on CRW memories, how about a headbutting dinosaur?

– That game doesn’t even get into the category

Various opinions started coming up in the chat.

It didn’t seem too helpful.

– Just go with your birthstone or zodiac sign

“Ah, my zodiac?”

Well, I don’t know about the birthstone, but my sign is probably a Sheep. Or maybe a Snake…

‘Thinking about it, that could work?’

I’m a Snake, and my nickname is Cheong the Commander?

Besides, this year is also the Year of the Blue Snake, so it’s truly a fateful match.

“Then I’ll go with Snake.”

You think I would just let this slide? Absolutely not.

There are many broadcasters who take on the concept of a Sheep.

– Huh? A Snake?

– Well, your eyes are a bit sharp…

– It’s oddly similar once you think about it, hahaha

– Hearing it does make sense, hahaha

– But if you actually see the admin’s eyes, wouldn’t it feel like a viper?

– It’s distinctive and good

Back in my idol days, I would’ve strongly opposed this, but now I didn’t care at all.

After all, I’m not an idol anymore, and it’s more important to leave a fun image with the viewers.

Plus, surprisingly, snakes can be cute in pet shops. So it shouldn’t be a huge issue.

Of course, except for those damned semi-poisonous snakes. How can a viper grow to 2 meters?

‘But the points these guys accept seem a bit off?’

Feeling like a viper, huh? Too much…

I made sure to have a bit more of a smiling image than my original, but it seems that wasn’t enough.

“…Well, anyway, regarding the fan nicknames, I’ll fix a few and put up a vote later.”

For now, let’s just finalize mine and think about the rest.

If I ask AI, it should be able to come up with some decent ones.

At that moment, just when we were finalizing some basic settings, our room’s VIP sent a donation message.

[Resident A donated 3,000 won]

– Speaking of which, Cheongha, I think your followers are almost at 1,000, are you aware?

“Oh, my followers?”

– Oh, for real?

– Yeah, it hit 1,200 yesterday

– It hasn’t been that many months since you started broadcasting, and it increased a lot

– Mine hasn’t gone up…

– Just go to Hong Kong and come back and it will

Ah, I had no idea.

Surely being with two big companies creates a good trickle-down effect.

Especially since Baekro often covers anime-related content, I assume the viewer demographic is somewhat similar to mine.

“I didn’t know, thank you for letting me know.”

I would have never thought I’d surpass 1,000 followers so soon.

This growth is faster than I expected.

Should I celebrate when I cross 1,500 followers with a candle on a cake or something?
