I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work - Chapter 108

Today, Dohui didn’t really get involved in the content.

After all, whether it’s sniping or counter-sniping—

In the end, it was Majia’s playground, and she didn’t want to poke around and risk losing her sparkling wit and charm.

It was a bit like why Majia doesn’t impose too much on the members or Momo’s broadcasts.

Battle Coliseum, sniping.

In this arena, Dohui felt like she fell short compared to Majia, so she made up her mind to respect Majia’s opinions as much as possible.

Thus, similar to how they planned for the illegal duet, the proposal was finalized with Majia drafting it and Team Leader Ra Seunghyeon supporting her.

When Dohui saw the outrageous promotion plan added to the final version, laughter involuntarily escaped her lips.

To prevent stream sniping, they planned to obscure the screen with the members’ new outfit illustrations.

Sure, the goal was to let viewers know that Majia and the F participant were different people, but it also meant they didn’t want to lose gracefully.

Even if they lost, they would still put up a fight.

If you wanted to see me lose, be prepared to pay the price—something along those lines, right?

“Now I get why you were so easily accepting suggestions before.”

Typically, when members present a plan, various revisions happen through discussions with Team Leader Ra Seunghyeon, but it seemed like Majia rarely needed to change anything.

Even though the planning team usually has the role of thoroughly checking for potentially controversial elements, going through every detail before the proposal, it seems there wasn’t much to fix for Majia.

[Planning Team Leader: Made a few tweaks, but the draft was so good that it was wrapped up quickly.]

[Planning Team Leader: Of course there’s a chance of it going UFC level, so Mr. President, please keep it WWE.]

[Planning Team Leader: There might be some discussions about breaking the password through sponsorships.]

[Me: I was actually thinking about that.]

[Me: Thanks for the cross-check.]

Of course, even back in the bad old days, Majia’s streaming style was like a tightrope act—constantly swaying as she moved forward.

There needed to be someone keeping an eye on her, no doubt about it.

Just like Ra Seunghyeon mentioned the UFC angle, at any moment, it could flop or spark a massive wildfire.

Originally, attracting attention to the broadcast was vital, but—

Wrapping it up with minimal controversy was even more crucial.

This time, Momo would be there supporting Majia, but since that couldn’t happen every time, Dohui thought it was about time to teach Majia the A to Z of broadcasting.

Originally, she planned to teach her after her debut, but given the current situation, it seemed like she might continue streaming indefinitely without it.

There didn’t seem to be any harm in teaching her ahead of time.

‘The Second Generation auditions are ending this week…’

After that, inviting Majia to join Momo’s planned training, especially her lectures on broadcasting skills, could be one way to go about it.

Of course, Dohui could skip teaching her one vital subject she valued: “Dealing with Toxicity.”

Well…

“By the way, what are you typing over there in game chat? Do you have time for that in between rounds?”

“Oh, I’m just causing chaos in the voice chat of the snipers gathered to get me. I set up the screen cover to hide my password.”

“What? How did you get in there?”

“It’s an industry secret, so I can’t really share.”

What’s she doing, making some kind of trap? Setting the stage for the stream snipers to get all riled up while dancing over their heads?

Teaching the ‘Dealing with Toxicity’ lesson? Nah, at this level, it seems like Majia should be the one teaching.

Majia had been avoiding making suggestions until now, but maybe she could be persuaded to be an instructor during the Second Generation training.

* * *

But as skillful as Majia was at dealing with toxicity—

She ultimately couldn’t completely overcome the numerical disadvantage.

Both the first and second games went down similarly.

Thanks to the ban on grenades and Molotov cocktails, the balance was decent enough.

But once the viewers launched their sponsorship barrage and broke her password, Majia’s position got exposed.

From that point onward, it turned into a defensive battle where she ended up getting roasted along with the people trying to trip her up outside the safe zone.

As good as Majia was at handling stream snipers, once people began to target her over Dohui, responding became increasingly tricky.

Preparing for the third round, Dohui turned on her mic and announced for the audience to hear.

“I thought you’d have an overwhelming advantage without smoke grenades and grenades, but it’s not like that at all.”

— Hehehe, I’ll wait!

— That was on point!

— Singing, I love it so much~

— Haha, you have to lose, right?

— Sniping the Signal Flare isn’t easy when it’s aimed at yourself, huh?

— How about experiencing getting sniped by your own stream snipers for once!

The ultimate goal was to hide that the purpose was for Majia’s singing stream, so they set up this distraction.

We genuinely prepared this content wanting to win.

But the unity and firepower of the viewers are so strong that it’s not easy, huh? Just a little whining back and forth, maybe.

Fortunately, Majia understood Dohui’s intentions instantly and fired back.

“Maybe it’s because the President isn’t cheering for me.”

“… Me?”

“Please throw me a buff already. I don’t want to pull an all-nighter.”

The mention of an all-nighter sent viewers into a frenzy.

In the end, they would be stuck at the office all night, and yet she’s whining about it.

— Ah-ha! We’re just the pests preventing you from leaving?

— Hey hey hey!

— What all-nighter are you pulling when you’ll be stuck in the Command Room anyway? Hahaha!

— Good point!

— Poor thingㅠㅜㅠㅠㅠ can’t even leaveㅠㅠㅠ

— Don’t be fooled!!

— She’s lying again!

Of course, most of them were anxious that Majia would dodge her penalty again without performing well.

With how she’d consistently dodged over and over, Majia had become the proverbial girl who yelled wolf.

“So, what kind of buff?”

“I’ll buy you a Didburger.”

“Ah. No thanks. Not interested.”

“Ugh… I can’t sing… I’m so drained…”

— ?

— Momo!

— Momo, are you tricking us right now?

— ???

In the midst of it all, they turned the viewers’ wrath toward Dohui, unmistakably embodying the toxicity of bad times.

Doing anything to make her act cute—this was Majia in her natural habitat.

“Did— Did– Didburger…”

“Everyone, even if I lose today, I won’t sing!”

— Yyaaaaaaaaa!

— Momo, what are you doinggggg!

— Get on with it alreadyyyy!

— Kya!

— If this is another lie today, I’ll really hit the donation button!

— A suspicious truck suddenly appears in front of the Parallel headquarters!

But, hey, at least the cuteness Majia demanded was doable.

Having bickered with the viewers for years, now, even when being asked to do something, she’d start with some resistance and naturally lead to the donation round.

Yet throughout keeping up with the antics, Majia had done quite a lot for Momo and Parallel.

No matter how toxic she was, doing only cute things? Gladly, no problem.

“I am Did, did, Didburger, Consuming Jia! Didburger, let’s go…!”

— Hahahaha!

— Hahaha!

— Wow, Hahahaha!

— Sounds amazing!

— Momo’s been doing those cute acts a lot lately, haha!

— Since the Wicker server incident, it’s been a floodoy!

— Majia, oh!

— Truly a divine blessing from Majia!

* * *

However, Dohui would have never imagined that her cuteness would lead to the second installment of Majia’s “Killing Stream Snipers.”

Immediately, fan-created clips of Momo’s cuteness began to play in the voice chat among the snipers.

And it wasn’t even just a straightforward replay.

They deliberately used the mic on/off toggle to keep Momo’s cuteness clips running only during timing when someone spoke.

[Majia has dropped—]

[Didburger, let’s go!]

[Position ar—]

[Didburger, I am Jia!]

[Ahh! Stop it—]

[Didburger!]

With this chaos, proper communication became nearly impossible.

Indications that the mic was on and off made it tough to figure out who was stirring the pot.

Still, there were stream snipers who hadn’t entered the game and were doing quick briefings and monitoring. They adjusted the sound levels while searching for the culprit, but….

[Magia005: Magia835, this is disruptive, please cut it out!]

[Magia369: Confirming]

As they chased them away, it wouldn’t be long before another Didburger ghost popped up.

[Majia has moved—]

[Didburger!]

[Oh hell! What now—]

[—Jia, I am Didburger!]

[Can’t take it anymore—]

[Didburger!]

The guy who gathered people for Majia’s penalty had to be in disarray at this point.

[👑Magia404: How many have we banned so far?]

[Magia369: 13people]

[Magia369: I suddenly have a thought]

[Magia369: Could it be that Majia set up this disruption?]

[👑Magia404: This is insane.]

Take out one, and another pops up.

Knock out one, and another jumps out.

Starting with 63 people, after kicking five who were faking briefings and eight who were causing chaos with Momo’s cuteness clips, they were down to 50.

With the viewers slowly increasing, the number of people entering the custom game was dwindling.

With the constant disruptive efforts, the sniper’s fatigue was significant.

Yet, the more this happened, the closer Majia seemed to edge towards victory.

11th place in the first match.

10th in the second.

But from the third match onward, fueled by the onslaught of Didburger cuteness in the sniper chat, the ranks jumped drastically.

In this sixth match, they finished in 5th place.

The chances of Majia snagging the victory and dodging the karaoke penalty were becoming increasingly likely.

[👑Magia404: 369, please keep tackling the disruptions.]

[👑Magia404: We’ll do our best to figure it out.]

[Magia369: Agreed]

[Magia369: Let’s make sure Majia sings]

[Magia369: Let’s go!]

But what can you even do?

While the troublemakers kept revealing their identities and disappearing, the impact of the stream sniping was undeniable.

Even the sneaky Majia wouldn’t have smoothly slipped away without her smokescreen, spreading out while getting pinched from all angles.

If the encirclement had been composed of ordinary viewers, she might have tried breaking through.

But too well did she know the capabilities of the people gathered to snipe her.

And at this point, the third chapter of Majia’s Killing Stream Snipers commenced.

In the heart of the encirclement—

Hiding in the smoke, Majia started to spill some tea.

“Please focus. From now on, I’m going to expose the President’s secrets.”

And these were secrets known only to her.

— ?

— What?

— Suddenly?

— Huh?

Dohui exclaimed in surprise.

“What? What are you trying to say?!”

“The President…”

Well, among the snipers gathered, about half were familiar with Momo’s background, so they all held their breath, focusing on what she had to say.

[Didburger! Didburger! Didburger!]

Suddenly, someone blasted someone else’s cuteness clip on loop, loud enough to make their ears ring.

Those who wanted to focus on the broadcast muted the sound in the voice chat just then, and at that moment, a smoke grenade flew towards a specific point in the encirclement.

Not toward the sniper group but toward a spot where regular viewers were gathered.

Dohui, startled, attempted to brief everyone but ended up realizing that more than half had muted their voice because of all the noise.

Briefing became meaningless.

– Magia192 was kicked from the server by the moderator.

[Magia369: Disruption cut]

[👑Magia404: Everyone, come to the voice channel.]

[👑Magia404: Hurry.]

Fortunately, 369 quickly expelled the disruptive elements.

However, the chat was silent. They seemed focused on rushing towards the new smoke.

As Kim tried to call back the upset viewers again on his second monitor while watching Majia’s stream, he found it hard to believe what he was witnessing.

“… Huh?”

Majia didn’t dash away from the smoke.

Instead, after causing a bit of chaos, she remained right there in the smoke.

Of all the people who had muted their voices, the ones who sprinted towards the new smoke were directly running towards the spot where Majia had preemptively laid down her smoke, the very place she was now holding her ground.

Boom, boom!

{{Human Signal Flare Kim Firecracker >> (Head)(Stunned) iiIIIIliIili}}

With the sound of double barrels starting a thunderous noise, an overwhelming gunfire erupted from around the smoke.

In a high-stakes stalemate, the sudden gunfire ignited a massive brawl, turning the area into a chaotic battlefield.

It wasn’t just a scene of Majia sweeping the viewers.

Because, with visibility hindered by smoke, being nearby meant shooting first and asking questions later. If they spotted someone wearing a Santa hat, it was just a ‘woe is me’ situation.

Thanks to Majia joyfully tossing smoke, the air was thick with a haze.

The loud gunfire made pinpointing Majia’s location even harder.

Kim raised his voice through the in-game mic, but….

“Everyone! Calm down! Stop shooting! Calm down! If you keep this up, Majia will go crazy!!”

Yet, regardless of how much he shouted, the situation didn’t calm down.

“Ah! Please! Just stop shooting!!”

Soon, through the smoke, someone emerged right in front of Kim.

And it was none other than Majia, zooming in via a speed pad.

Boom! Boom!!
