Chapter 113

“<Lately, if the galju is more lovely than before, give it a thumbs up lol>”

First of all, me lol

ㅇㅇ: For real, back in the day, if I was sick, I would rest by default, and even if I wasn’t sick, I would only broadcast once a week at best, but these days it’s great to see that you try to stream whenever you have time.

ㅇㅇ: In the past, it felt like a sense of obligation to broadcast, but these days it really feels like you enjoy it?

ㅇㅇ: The moderator is quite dedicated.

“<I was inspired by my galju and went for it...>”

(Screenshot of passing the final interview jpg.)

Doing broadcasts, commentating on leagues, ranking 15th in the challenge, being a VTuber, secretly modeling for a shopping mall, selling out cold noodles, being pretty, and working hard while I’ve been scratching my belly in the corner for years… I had an existential crisis and went for an interview… The result was passing. It’s a small company, but I plan to work hard. My mom was so happy when I told her I got a job that she cried.

ㅇㅇ: Please summarize it in three lines.

ㅇㅇ: Is another one leaving like this…

ㅇㅇ: I should donate to the galju after getting a job. If you’re a conscientious mollu fan, this is right.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: For real, these days, to attract attention from the galju with a donation, you need at least 100,000 won; the big spenders have raised the average price too much.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I miss the mollu who happily reacted to the thousand-won punch.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The thousand-won punch didn’t get a reaction from the beginning, mollubong…

ㅇㅇ: Wait, did the galju model for a shopping mall too?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: What is this newb?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: When did you learn about this? For real, you’re such a latecomer.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: You have no right to call the galju ‘galju’.

“<Mollu Shopping Mall Model Picture for New Followers>”

(Roughly a picture of Mollu posing like a model)

If this was helpful, hit the like button and leave.

ㅇㅇ: Look at that awkward expression lol.

ㅇㅇ: Does Mollu share this on broadcast?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I heard she begged just once in the café to take a picture like that? That was the first time.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ: So that’s how it is.

ㅇㅇ: She’s incredibly pretty, even if the picture is casual, the atmosphere is there.

ㅇㅇ: Just a human photo book.

ㅇㅇ: Give it a thumbs up lol.

“Thumbs up…”

The man mumbled as he touched the screen.

He was smiling slightly when he confirmed the rising number of likes following his hand movements.

“What are you looking at so happily? You’re going to get sucked in. You’re going to get sucked in.”

“Oh, Team Leader, you’re here?”

“Yeah, I’m here.”

A man with a somewhat tired look appeared, pressing his eyelids.

He casually glanced at the man’s phone and asked.

“Isn’t that Mollu? The game streamer?”

“Do you know Mollu, Team Leader?”

“Of course. I’m the team leader of a game company.”

The man, Kim Dae-ri, and the team leader were employees of a newly established game company that was about to launch a new game.

“But why does that person stream? She has the looks to be an actress.”

“Hey, streaming can make money these days. She probably earns much more than most unknown actors.”

“Really? Well, I guess it’s not easy to keep appearing on screen.”

That conversation was just casual chit-chat, and it seemed like now it was getting to the main point; the team leader spoke in a serious tone.

“All the bugs have been fixed… We just need to launch it now. This time, if we have some leeway, the manager said they want to handle the advertising.”

“Advertising?”

“Yeah, he asked me if I could think of anyone good for it. The ones who would do advertising are streamers anyway. Someone decent among them.”

While other major companies might have separate PR teams, programming teams, planning teams, and design teams, there was no such distinction in this newly established startup.

From planning to development, to advertising after launch, there wasn’t a strict division of duties.

The deputy nodded with an interested expression at the team leader’s words.

“So I’ve looked into a few people. I wondered who would be good for advertising.”

“You knew Mollu too, right?”

“Of course. Now that I’m older, I occasionally watch those streamers, but not often.”

The team leader continued reminiscing.

“First of all, they have to be a streamer who’s good at games. Our game has a somewhat unique position, right? It’s not like the usual games these days.”

It emphasized fun and romance over the game’s commercial value.

It was a different challenge that, in a sense, only a startup could attempt, diverging from the usual games being released right now.

They also didn’t eliminate elements that could serve as barriers to entry.

Because they believed that was the charm of the game.

“That’s true. It has some difficulty too. If someone who can’t play tries it, it would just be frustrating to watch, right?”

“So, the first requirement is that they should be somewhat good at games. The second is that they should have a strong understanding of various games having played different kinds.”

That was also a reasonable criterion.

The game released by this company emphasized a romantic open-world format.

With high freedom, there are numerous routes, and various hidden easter eggs exist within it.

Thus, it would also be a matter of showing the viewers the fun of the game when a streamer plays diversely and takes unique routes.

“But having so many conditions is really something. They also need to have a considerable average viewership, and they shouldn’t have separate controversies. No, it’s fine to have some controversy that attracts attention, just nothing that would create a societal dispute.”

“Because it could tarnish the image of the game for no reason.”

“Right, hardly anyone meets all of these conditions. If someone is somewhat good at the game, their viewership isn’t high, and if someone is good at the game and has a high viewership, they usually have some strange controversy.”

The team leader shook his head as if frustrated.

“Then I saw it. Mollu.”

“Mollu should be the first to look at, right? I heard she’s always number one in viewership.”

“I didn’t know because she doesn’t broadcast often. Anyway.”

Looking at it, there was no one as significant as her.

The team leader’s eyes lit up.

“Not to mention her gaming skill, she plays several games but doesn’t give off a negative vibe. Her existence alone draws attention, and there are no controversies surrounding her.”

“That’s true, but… Is there really a chance she’ll do an advertisement? She seems busy and doesn’t seem to accept advertisements at all.”

“Well, that’s where we have to have faith in our game. If Mollu is a true gamer, she’ll recognize our game.”

The team leader spread his arms wide and passionately spoke.

“She’s also appealing to the viewers; she’s said to represent the MZ generation, right? I was curious about what kind of evaluation MZ would give to our game.”

They say if you obsess over MZ, you’re an old fogey…

The deputy swallowed his thoughts and said something else.

“That person probably doesn’t like being called the representative of the MZ generation. Keep that in mind when you contact her.”

“Really? Why would someone in the middle of MZ care about that? It’s trendy and good, isn’t it?”

“She has a somewhat old-fashioned side…”

“You mean a young old fogey? Wow, that’s not easy.”

Indeed, why? She only seemed to show signs of disliking it. The exact reason was unknown even to the deputy.

Is it because it’s burdensome? The reason piqued his curiosity oddly.

*

Why? Because it’s stupid.

I was intensely realizing that receiving such titles was by no means good.

“<Mollu, the representative of MZ, donated 30,000 won!>”

-MZ <<The worst generation in history lol.

[Doesn’t the moderator know this?]
[Born in 00, right? If you don’t know this, what will you do?]
[What is this?]
[I’m 97 and have no idea lol.]
[This is dizzying.]
[As a fellow MZ, I’m disappointed.]
[Young and MZ-like~]
[The moderator’s expression seems to be in a severely bad mood.]
[Can it really be distinguished?]

Just like any other broadcast. This kind of talk came up during a brief communication before the game started.

-What about the new word test as the representative of MZ?

I wondered who gave that title without my consent.

I hadn’t done anything, yet somehow I had become a broadcaster representing the MZ generation.

Regardless of the title, it wasn’t bad content in the warming-up phase of starting the broadcast.

I was also curious about what words my friends were using these days.

The trendiest words I could remember were things like "ojigo," "jirigo."

Thus began the new word test.

I got stuck at the very first question.

-Choose the situation in which "eoljukko" is used most naturally.

Eoljukko? What is that?

I knew eoljukga. It's "frozen to d*ath," so could this also have a similar context?

“I feel like I’ll freeze to d*ath, so cocoa?”

If that’s the case, the answer would be the first option: "How about a bowl of eolkeun eoljukko?" Proposing cocoa so vigorously, is this what the younger generation is like?

It was the wrong answer. I couldn’t understand it and briefly looked at the solution.

-Meaning "I’d rather d*e frozen than wear a coat."

I was incredulous and said, “Isn’t it more fitting to say 'I’ll freeze to d*ath so I should have cocoa' than 'I’d rather d*e frozen than wear a coat?' The weather these days is like that. What coat are we talking about? If you wear a coat, you could really freeze to d*ath.”

The viewers’ reactions were cold.

[eoljukko is quite commonly used.]
[LOL, for real, you’re going to d*e, right?]
[I can feel the madness of MZ.]
[It makes sense; if you feel like you’ll freeze to d*ath, you should drink cocoa.]
[Mol-sori on.]

Leaving the viewers who didn’t understand my heart behind, I faced the next question.

-What does “bulso” mean?

1. Burning beef

2. Unjust income

3. Bully-flavored sausage

4. Burning communication

What’s this again?

“Isn’t bulso from toothpaste? A chemical substance? What is that? Fluorine.”

[Lol, that’s not the bulso we’re talking about.]
[Moderator, were you in the science stream?]
[Showing off your intellectual side.]
[Brain-sexy girl Mollu.]
[So what’s the answer?]
[This one’s really hard.]

“This is hard? It seems easier than the last one.”

Among the four options, only one made sense.

“It’s unjust income. All the others are weird.”

Burning beef, sausage, communication? What kind of words are these turned into new terms? It was clear this was an extremely easy question.

I confidently pressed for unjust income.

-That’s not correct.

“What? Why is this wrong?”

[The correct answer was 'burning communication.']
[Wow, what a shock.]
[Mollu, the representative of MZ’s humiliation.]
[These questions are a bit tough, indeed.]
[You got this wrong? You got this wrong? You got this wrong?]

“This is a bit strange. It’s obviously unjust income, isn’t it?”

[Anyone could tell it’s burning communication lol.]
[This is obviously ‘bulso.’]
[The moderator is currently ‘bulso’ing.]
[Black survival.]

In total, I answered one question correctly, receiving a score of 10 points for our language.

Being labeled as the 'baby Mollu' was an extra.
