Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 103
Advertisement - 1After the movie filming was over, I was resting at home, doodling or just relaxing, when I received a call from my manager after a long time.
“An advertisement?”
[Yes! We’ve received our first advertisement from the Heavenly Realm!]
I could feel the manager’s excitement through the phone, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
‘What kind of advertisement could it be?’
We’re a group that hasn’t even been active for a year yet.
So, we’re still under-verified.
On top of that, we’re people stuck in the online world, so it’s hard to imagine a physical product advertisement; at best, it’s probably for a game…
“What kind of game is it?”
[Oh, how did you know it’s a game?]
“Just a guess.”
Can I even do a game ad?
I don’t really play many games on broadcasts, and it’s probably just the members who play games a lot who would get it. This feels more like it’s being given to the whole group, and I’m tagging along…
“What… what game is it?”
It can’t be that strange, right? Well, if it were a bad fit, I would have dealt with it, but…
I couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned.
[We’ll send it over… it’s a game from a company that’s had many hits.]
However, contrary to my worries, the game the manager sent was clearly a typical mobile game of the current trend. It was a game where you randomly draw characters with beautiful girl illustrations, strengthen them, and set up a team for auto-hunting.
“Hmm….”
Luckily, it seemed like a proper advertisement, but personally, as someone who only deals with PC games, it wasn’t the type of game I liked. I’m not a worker, so why would I play an automated game?
[Do you not like the game?]
“Uh…”
At the manager’s sharp question, I hesitated for a moment.
But then, this is an advertisement that others would love to get, but can’t. Moreover, the company is putting us in a good light, so I shouldn’t show any dissatisfaction.
“It’s not that…”
I tried to deny it quickly, but the manager spoke up even faster.
[By the way, the advertisement fee is 10,000 won per person…]
“It’s perfect! Should we do it tomorrow?”
Now that I think about it, what’s wrong with an automated game?
Isn’t it the perfect game for modern busy people?
It’s just that, as someone like me, who’s always sitting in front of the computer, I don’t really like it…
***
After that, it was decided that the advertisement broadcasts would not be done all at once by the members, but rather one by one, in order of age, starting with Anna.
And of course, as the youngest in the team, I was assigned the last advertisement broadcast.
They say the beginning and the end are the most important… While there was a little pressure, knowing I’d be the last, it wasn’t a huge deal…
After all, it’s just an advertisement broadcast, right?
I’d just do a quick game draw, compliment the illustrations, and give my usual praise for the game with my proud mouth— then it would be over.
In that regard, I was confident.
Moreover, being last meant I could watch the broadcasts of the others and use them as reference.
Starting with Anna, I could watch each person’s broadcast, pick up tips, and approach it with the mindset of getting through it smoothly.
So, I turned on the broadcast with a relaxed attitude.
[Final homework broadcast]
“Ah, ah, hello.”
- Ahh
- Miro’s doing the ad too
- Is this fun?
- I started it yesterday because of the Heavenly Realm viral campaign.
Is it because the other members had already done their planned broadcasts? Some viewers seemed familiar with the process.
It’s true, there are quite a few viewers who only watch my broadcasts, but there are also many who watch the whole Heavenly Realm broadcast.
For those viewers, it probably feels like six people explaining the same game one after another.
“Well, there’s nothing to see in the tutorial, right? I’ll skip through it quickly.”
So, I sped up the pace a little.
Besides, people aren’t really interested in the game tutorial.
What’s most important is the drawing that the broadcaster does.
After that, no one would care much about the game itself.
- Kyah~~
- Finally
- This is how it’s done
- Let’s get straight to the draw, yeah?
Once I reached a point where I could quickly do the draw, I checked the number of gems the advertising company had provided in advance.
“Wow… how much is this worth?”
- Kyah~~~
- It’s probably about 300,000 won
- They’re giving it away
- Even if you use all of that, you still can’t draw a 5-star character..
- Just draw enough to make a party, okay?
“Ah, a party?”
Thanks to the fact that the other members had already done their ad broadcasts, there were some viewers who were familiar with the game.
Since I needed to pick four characters for a party…
“Shall we take a look at who to pick?”
But before I chose, I first searched the game online to see which characters were available. It’s better to set a goal rather than picking randomly—it’s more engaging for the broadcast, and it would give me a sense of accomplishment too.
- omg
- These characters are really something.
- hahaha
The characters were, of course, typical of a male-oriented game, with beautiful women who were very flashy. Each of them had a well-done illustration and design, clearly made with a lot of money spent.
I carefully examined the characters.
- Why is she focusing so much??
- I like that black-haired one
- Bunny girl haha
- How about the one in the school uniform?
“Ah, I’ll write it down in a notepad.”
Maybe it was because I was looking at these typical characters? The chat was getting more active, so I calmed it down for a moment and chose one of the 5-star characters, the most highly rated.
A sultry character with a beauty mark under her eye.
“Shall we try for her?”
- You know good characters, haha.
- Ah, the final pick.
- This is the one!
“Honestly, she’s not my type. I just picked her because she caught my eye.”
- I see?
- Got it~
“What’s her performance like? Is she useful?”
- Hmm…
- What? Huh
- How are we supposed to know?
- We haven’t tried her yet.
Hmm… It seems like no one knows her performance yet, since the game is still in its early stages. Well, I guess we’ll find out by playing.
“Then, I’ll use her as the main character… the rest I’ll just pick randomly.”
- So, you’re aiming for just one with your gems?
- Pick some other characters too?
“Ah, don’t be too greedy. You should stick to one choice.”
Even though I had gems worth about 300,000 won, it’s better to pick one reliable character for now. If I aim for too many, I’ll just end up spending more than necessary.
“Alright, let’s do a pull. Oh… flashy visuals.”
And so, I began the highlight of this ad broadcast—the pull.
“Huh, nothing this time. Let’s try again.”
Laughs
- No 5-stars yet.
- A 4-star, lol.
“Errr… this time, it should work, right?”
- 5-stars don’t usually come out this easily, right?
- Not a single one, haha
“Wow! 5-star! Wow, the character is pretty.”
- Well, it’s a guaranteed pick.
- You only got one after hitting the pity, haha.
- Why is the game probability like this?
I got paid for this ad. So, I had prepared the reactions for when the character I wanted appeared, but…
“Ugh!”
What’s the use if the character doesn’t come out?
- Hahaha
- ?? Why isn’t it coming out?
- Oh, it’s her again~
- Dupe? Is it you again? lolol
- Should we just give up? Lol
- 4-star is fine too~
No matter how many pulls I did, I couldn’t get her.
If I converted the gems I’d spent into cash, it would be 300,000 won. I spent someone’s 3-day salary, and still, the character I wanted never showed up.
“Is this strange? Is it rigged?”
- Why isn’t she coming out? Haha.
- lol I’m done.
- Should we boycott the game now?
Whether the chat knew what I was feeling or not, it only seemed to get more excited.
But aside from the excitement, would the viewers actually download the game and play?
At this rate, the broadcast might be a hit, but the ad would flop.
Damn it…
I really wanted to do well for my first ad broadcast, but it was going to end on a disappointing note.
Of course, it wasn’t my fault—just bad luck, so no one could blame me…
But still, this was about the reputation of the Heavenly Realm.
As the unofficial representative, I had to boost our honor.
Once I thought of that, I immediately shut down the game.
- ???
- Rage quit, haha.
- But you should’ve tried the game, haha.
- Legendary.
- Was that a broadcast accident?
Yeah, I admit I was unlucky. But come on, there’s more than one way to do an ad, right?
After all, the company that sponsored the ad had said it didn’t matter how we did it.
And this game was one where they’re selling characters, not necessarily the gameplay.
Promoting the characters isn’t such a bad idea, after all.
I immediately pulled out the graphic tablet sitting next to my desk and connected it to the computer.
When did my broadcasts ever go the typical route like everyone else’s?
I had to give it a twist.
I quickly launched the illustration program and started broadcasting it.
- ???
- What’s this??
- Wow.
“Alright, here’s page two.”
I hadn’t prepared this in advance, but I started speaking like I had.
“If you can’t pull her out… just make her, right?”
I searched the internet for the sultry character I’d been trying to pull and displayed her illustration on screen. For a game that had clearly invested a lot, the illustration quality was impressive.
“Do you have any preferred outfits or poses?”
Yeah, I admit that she didn’t come.
But so what?
“This character isn’t showing up? Guess I’ll have to teach her a lesson.”
- Ahahaha.
- Finally
- Are we seeing it?
- Do your thing!
- hahaha
Now, I, or rather, KSH, the Copy Ninja, will have my meal.
