Chapter 170 – Box Murderer
* * *
“…As soon as the live broadcast ended, they received fifteen department store gift certificates worth 500,000 won each. Until then, I was just a little jealous, but suddenly, they called me, Dice, and Michael into a group chat. They said they would buy us dinner, so I plan to go later.”
Is this deception???????????????
Wow, right on the spot, lololololololol
Why am I hearing about someone going to eat delicious food at 4:30 PM, damn it
So how does Yoo Jin look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s stubbornly not talking about appearances, lolololololol
The second week of Monday, 4:30 PM.
The broadcast, which had over 45,000 viewers, also included Gambit, who glanced at the streamer lineup, none of whom had turned on their broadcasts.
The official team broadcast was obvious, and no other pro from other teams, who also did personal broadcasts and were selected as national representatives, had turned on their broadcasts since Saturday.
It was partly a rest day, but mostly because everyone had been embargoed regarding Yoo Jin’s identity, which they couldn’t handle.
The team probably tried to keep the individuals who do personal streaming as quiet as possible. It was obvious. Clear Sky, the team Gambit belonged to, was doing the same.
In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that Gambit turning on his broadcast was a kind of taking one for the team.
‘Even now, it feels absurd….’
Since it was a live VR broadcast, the actual time was from 1 PM to 2:30 PM, but in VR terms, it lasted about 4 hours and 30 minutes. He thought he could relax a bit in the evening after such a long practice session, but suddenly got a message.
In short, the opinion of numerous fans in the community was boiling over, asking if he could turn on the broadcast even briefly. Coincidentally, he had just appeared with Yoo Jin on Starry Night, so they told him he just needed to share a few stories about it.
So, he decided to turn on the broadcast just before going to the appointment.
And then he realized.
[ClearSkyGambit // ON AIR // Current viewers: 47,559]
This wasn’t a simple story-sharing broadcast, but taking the bullets for others.
Gambit, reveal information about Yoo Jin now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still not giving in? Not giving in even now? You’re so tough, lolololol
Oh, this place is perfect to lie down and protest
Hey, just quickly tell us what Yoo Jin looks like ㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓㅓ
How much do you need! How much do you need!!! Ohhhhahhh
“…Hey, guys. It’s not like I’m deliberately not saying anything. And some of the guesses you’ve made so far are partially correct, so don’t make me say it out loud. I still have a long way to go.”
Why would everyone be so tight-lipped about Dice?
The moment he reveals anything about Yoo Jin, an even more enormous situation than with Dice would erupt. In that regard, it was much better to speak metaphorically like this. The viewers understood this to some extent.
Anyway, the fact that there were so many viewers, even though he hadn’t said much, was terrifying. He usually turned on the broadcast once or twice a week, just casually communicating with an average of 500 viewers and playing some games.
But now, nearly 100 times the usual viewers were flocking. No wonder no one dared to turn on their broadcasts.
It wasn’t just a bullet shield as an expression.
“…Anyway, to add, she was really fun even in private. I want to explain a lot to you, but… now I understand why others aren’t turning on their broadcasts. It’s frustrating that I can’t explain it even though I know.”
Gyaaaaaaah
Can’t explain it even if you know? She must really be a manifestor, lolol
Alright, alright, we won’t dig deep! We give up!
What on earth is going on that everyone is making such a fuss, lololol
Bro, my chest is tightening, ugh!!!!!!!!
By now, the viewers had surpassed 50,000, but all they heard was that Yoo Jin’s identity could not be revealed at her request.
Of course, on the flip side, this was also an important keyword. It implicitly confirmed that Yoo Jin’s status was such that it couldn’t be disclosed easily. Combining this with the fact that it was subtly mentioned in a Q&A about a month ago that she was a manifestor, the answer was pretty clear.
However, if that was the case, another problem arose. If Yoo Jin was indeed a manifestor, all the speculation about her identity could be seen as an invasion of privacy.
This depended on how she took it, but it was undeniably a sensitive issue. So, while this fact was publicly known, it was secretly discussed.
Such a ridiculous and bizarre situation was the current state of the community.
‘Hmm….’
Time had passed considerably.
Unlike his usual casual, say-anything personal communication broadcasts, he had to choose his words carefully, so it naturally took more time than usual.
Besides, even if he talked, he couldn’t reveal any truly important information. It was an endless cycle. As he said before, that’s why it was called a bullet shield.
Moreover, the longer he dragged it out, the more disadvantageous it was for him.
The time was now 5:30 PM.
“Anyway, what I can tell you is, um… just wait for 3 months. I was told I could say this much, so I think something might come up before the finals. Anyway, that’s it.”
He’s running away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Catch him! Tear him apart! Make him spill the info about Yoo Jin!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arrest Gambit for dual restraint!!!!!
If you don’t reveal Yoo Jin right now, I’ll poop right here
That’s what you always do, lolololol
But unfortunately, or fortunately, Gambit’s escape route was already prepared.
He cleared his throat and added.
“Oh, if I delay any longer, I’ll be late. See you next time, everyone! I’m going to have dinner with Yoo Jin!”
Pop.
At the same time, the broadcast ended.
The viewers, having seen the long silver-haired avatar for the last time before facing a black screen, began to pour all kinds of expletives into the chat, but Gambit had already finished putting on his shoes and was ready to go out.
Meanwhile, one ongoing chat.
Why do all the guys close to Yoo Jin turn into villains? lololololololol
It was true.
Gambit, a pro gamer with three years of debut and six months of broadcasting experience, finally realized the true taste of sudden broadcast termination.
It was the height of autumn.
[Tricky’s Personal Site – Yoo Jin]
[Notice] Today’s broadcast content is an advertisement and unboxing.
I bought motion capture equipment for today. With this, I can capture and insert an avatar over my body. There’s a floating drone too, so there shouldn’t be any issues with the broadcast.
Although it’s an advertisement, I plan to give it away for free through a draw for you all. I’ve already kept a few items for myself. However, I can’t guarantee that the products I’ll be giving away are useful in daily life.
See you at 8 PM. I need to feed the poor lambs their dinner.
Click click.
Meanwhile, Yoo Jin was engrossed in writing the notice.
“…Ah, ah. Nice to see you all. As you might have seen in the notice, today’s broadcast is back with some special content. It’s been a while.”
Chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wow! Yoo Jin! Snake tail! First comment!!!!
Please someone spill related stories, ughhhhhhh
Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing? Unboxing?
Did you think we’d forgive you for suddenly returning with an advertisement broadcast after only doing Dark Zone? You’ve thought well, sir
Live on.
The numbers shot up like a rocket, going from three digits to four in a single breath, and after a few more breaths, it surpassed five digits. It was chaos created by bits of stories told during various KSM and other schedules.
Stabilizing at barely over 25,000 viewers.
But all of them were looking at not the desolate world of Dark Zone, but a quiet house. The neat and modern interior tickled the retinas of 25,000 pairs of eyes.
The countless packages piled up in the living room behind the balcony. Not to mention, the bedroom at the back was also packed with boxes. All these packages were from various places.
Meanwhile, the floating drone cam moved, rendering a real-time avatar over Yoo Jin’s body.
The twitching tail was quite impressive.
Why are there so many packages at home, lolololololol
“Of course, I didn’t order them all. As mentioned, today we’re doing an unboxing. Along with that, I’ll have to show you the structure of my house.”
Today’s content is crazy, lolololololol
I suspected it when you said unboxing, but today’s broadcast is so generous, lolololololol
Sir, isn’t your house too top-notch? Do you have a home gym too?
But why don’t you turn on the air conditioner, lol? Isn’t it hot?
I was about to lie down and ask for stories, but you
silenced the viewers with even more interesting content, lolololol
It was a classic case of diversion.
While the chat was filled with praise for Yoo Jin’s keen eye in understanding the viewers’ habits within less than two months, Yoo Jin was merely proceeding as usual without much thought.
Meanwhile, a black object popped out of Yoo Jin’s hand.
The chat was filled with astonishment.
?????????????????
Oh, isn’t that an axe??????????
Sir, is today’s content possibly, lolololololololol
Oh, holy moly!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it so scary, lolololololololol
Swoosh. Clatter.
However, without saying a word, she placed one of the boxes from the living room on the floor and added, the microphone on the motion capture equipment and the floating drone cam accurately capturing and transmitting her voice.
“…For reference, this tomahawk is also sponsored. It was sent by a place specializing in survival kits. I ended up with several axes at home, but it’s not a bad feeling. Would you like to buy one too?”
What is this, an advertisement or a threat, lolololololol, who advertises like this, sir!!!!!!!
“But since I’m not good at advertising, I have no choice but to promote it blatantly like this.”
Rustle, rustle.
Yoo Jin, who had dragged the box in front of her, added slowly.
“This is today’s delivery… it’s all food advertisements. It’s a good thing I have an extra refrigerator besides the regular one, otherwise, it might have spoiled. Anyway, let’s open it.”
Crash!
The sound was massive for something lightly struck. She tapped the side of the box sealed with tape, cutting through the middle. With the sound of tape and the label being torn off, she peeled the tape off the box she had prepared.
She checked inside. As the cam automatically moved to show the inside, the styrofoam box tightly packed for refrigeration was visible.
Without hesitation, Yoo Jin tapped the paper box with the tomahawk, causing it to fall apart instantly. Though it seemed rough, the movements were precise.
While the viewers were amazed, Yoo Jin’s eyes widened as she opened the box.
“…Wow, there’s even something like this. A premium Korean beef gift set. Amazing. I’ll grill it well at home later. The link will automatically appear on the broadcast. Speaking of mukbang, should I show you eating this as well?”
Why are you surprised at something so obvious, lolololololol
Mukbang (eats alone without the cam)
That’s just called a meal, sir, lololololol
Cultural shock from this, lololololol
But seriously, why does it look so delicious?
The screen split into two.
Yoo Jin’s broadcast was the main screen, and the drone cam automatically recognized the advertisement, creating a separate section to show where to purchase the product.
After organizing the boxes and styrofoam neatly, Yoo Jin carefully picked up the premium Korean beef gift set with just two fingers and attempted to place it in the refrigerator. As the refrigerator door opened and was reflected on the cam, donations poured in rapidly.
Why are there so many high-calorie foods in the refrigerator, lololololol
“It’s nothing special. My daily minimum calorie consumption is quite high, and gainers don’t taste good… Anyway, this is what the refrigerator looks like. I sometimes buy cakes because I like them and blend them into shakes.”
It’s shocking, lololololol
Speedwagon) This person is crazy strong with a 3×800, burns all the calories they eat, so there’s no need to give unsolicited advice about losing weight.
Phew, thanks to Speedwagon today, my fingers are sealed, thank you ^^
Advice? Aren’t you afraid of the axe she’s holding?
Who would give unsolicited advice when their skull could be split open, lolololol
As everyone chatted away, Yoo Jin measured the size of the gift set box and carefully placed the individually wrapped high-quality Korean beef in the refrigerator.
As the boxes stacked one by one, they were placed in the box she had just disassembled. The process was repeated. There were meal kits and fruits too. After successfully storing everything, Yoo Jin checked the list of deliveries for the day.
“…That’s all the food put away. Now, since there’s nothing that seems perishable, let’s start unboxing leisurely.”
Yoo Jin picked up the axe and slowly walked towards the box.
This was the origin of her new nickname, Box Murderer.
