Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 157: Let’s advertise.
The suggestion I received was truly an unexpected one.
It might sound like nonsense, but for an average viewer just watching the stream, it was a proposal that would be hard to even think about.
So, I wasn’t sure if I should share it.
I thought about it for a moment—
‘...As long as I don’t mention where it’s from, I think it’ll be fine.’
I felt it would be okay.
Of course, if I mentioned the company’s name, it could cause problems.
After organizing my thoughts for a moment, I decided to share the offer I had received with the viewers.
"An advertisement offer came in?"
An advertisement offer had indeed come.
And from a company I knew.
Although it wasn’t a large corporation, it was a company that most people would recognize if they heard the name.
But for such a company to request an ad from me...
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: What’s the deal?]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Sounds like it’s from a famous place based on your bragging.]
[So, where is it from?]
[It’s probably some not-so-famous company, lol.]
[No way it’s that company known for semiconductors and phones, right...?]
[Is it really that one, lol?]
[If it’s not that one, then it’s definitely not Lezya...]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Please, please, let it be an apology company, please.]
[You think it’s that one, lol, crazy fanboy, seriously.]
[Hwanhee: But seriously, is it right to let Dama take on an advertisement?]
[Hwanhee: Do you think the viewers who stay on the broadcast have any buying power?]
[You bastard.]
[Take back that statement, take back that statement, take back that statement...]
"Eh, it’s fine as long as it’s on YouTube. If I only advertise during the stream, I’d feel a bit guilty."
I do have some sense of conscience.
Even though I knew that the live viewers wouldn’t have much buying power, I wasn’t so shameless that I’d sign a deal to only advertise during the stream.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Are you saying we don’t have buying power?]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Show us your buying power, then??]
[But even if you say that, it doesn’t mean you’ll actually show it.]
[Show us your buying power, you crazy ‘Leodien’ fanboys.]
[Buying power (skin purchases)]
[Buying skins is acknowledged, lol.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Is the advertisement about food?]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Or is it about tech?]
"Oh, it’s about food."
To be exact, it’s about chicken, but I didn’t need to say that much.
If I mentioned the exact food, the viewers might figure it out too quickly.
‘By the way, if I accept the ad, I can probably get a free chicken.’
Of course, I’d get an advertising fee, but I thought I could at least get a free chicken for doing the ad.
I felt good about that and started writing an email on another monitor.
If I didn’t write the email now, I’d probably forget about it later.
Click-clack—.
After writing the email diligently, I clicked send.
This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.
And shortly after—
[ The email has been sent! ]
The notification popped up that the email had been sent.
I did add a few requests in the email, but they weren’t unreasonable, so I didn’t worry too much about getting rejected.
‘...Well, I’m sure it’ll work out.’
I figured the company would handle it for me.
With that thought, I continued the broadcast.
"By the way, does anyone know how to make a cafe feature? I definitely can’t make it myself."
It would be nice if someone could make the cafe feature.
Since I definitely couldn’t do it myself.
I wanted someone else to make it and just take the credit.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I know someone among my friends.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: There are people who can do it.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I can do it to some extent.]
[But what would you give in return if you made the cafe for me?]
[Do a fan meeting, do a fan meeting, do a fan meeting, do a fan meeting, do a fan meeting.]
[What kind of fan meeting is that?]
[Would Dama even come out for a fan meeting? ㅋㅋ]
[Would Dama, of all people, hold a fan meeting?]
[Hwanhee: Making a cafe isn’t that hard.]
Looking at the chat, it seemed there were a few people who could make a cafe.
Maybe other streamers also run cafes, so it seemed like there were a few people with experience.
"Then... is there anyone who can set it up as a trial run?"
I knew that if you went to a portal site and clicked ‘Create Cafe,’ it would be set up.
But what I was asking was how to manage a created cafe.
When I said that—
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I can see some skilled people in the chat.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Let’s get them to do it, lol.]
[Is this unpaid?]
[I'm progressive.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Give me the rights.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I’ll do it right.]
[Hwanhee: I can do it too.]
[Hwanhee: I think I can do it better than Hu-min.]
[Let me handle it, let me handle it, let me handle it, let me handle it, let me handle it.]
Looking at the chat, it seemed like quite a few people wanted to take over the job.
But out of them, there was only one person I wanted to assign the task to.
"Hwanhee, give it a try. If you fail, we can just move on to someone else."
From my past experience working with cafes, I knew Hwanhee— or Shin Ye-hwa— had a real talent for managing things like this.
To be specific, she had a knack for organizing things.
‘Though I’m not sure if it’ll work out online.’
You never know for sure until you see the result.
When I said that—
[Hwanhee: Ah, okay.]
[Hwanhee: Give me the rights.]
[Hwanhee: I’ll have it ready in 10 minutes.]
[Hwanhee: What kind of concept should I go with? I need the overall vibe first.]
Hwanhee started using professional terms.
It seemed like she had made a cafe before.
With that thought, I explained the overall concept.
"Uh... don’t make it too special, just keep it neat. Add some swirls in between."
The reason I wanted some swirls was simple.
‘If people stay in the cafe too long, it’ll be annoying.’
I didn’t want to waste traffic by having people linger.
The swirls were meant to subtly encourage people to leave after a while.
‘If people stay too long and keep staring at the swirls, they’ll get a headache and leave.’
It was a subtle hint.
But then—
[Hwanhee:...?]
[Hwanhee: Is that the swirl I’m thinking of...?]
[Hwanhee: Why do you want that in ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) there?]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ??]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Why put it in there to give people headaches?]
[Don’t put that in.]
[It’s really painful.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: What the hell were you thinking...?]
Most of the chat didn’t understand.
I felt wronged.
After watching my streams for so long, they couldn’t understand something like this.
I thought about explaining it, but—
‘...Why bother explaining?’
I didn’t want to show too much kindness to viewers who couldn’t grasp my intentions right away.
"Ah... If you don’t understand, don’t try to. It’s an area that criminals can’t comprehend, so I don’t think I need to explain."
It was a straightforward fact.
Even if I explained why the swirls needed to be in the cafe, I didn’t think the viewers would accept it.
When I said that—
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ???????]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Just explain it, damn.]
[Are you Illuminati?]
[Shit, caught you, Illuminati confirmed, lol.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Ah... so that’s it..]
[This is Kang Hu-min: If that’s the purpose, I shouldn’t interfere.. I understand.]
[??]
[What the hell does he understand?]
[Crazy conspiracy theories, haha.]
As we were chatting and talking about the fan cafe—
[Hwanhee: Ah.]
[Hwanhee: It’s done.]
[Hwanhee: Check it out.]
The design of the fan cafe was completed.
So, I immediately went to check the fan cafe—
"Oh...!"
It was exactly as I had imagined.
Like other fan cafes, it was clean, but there were swirls in the remaining space.
The design was such that staying in the cafe for too long would make it somewhat difficult to keep engaging.
"Really perfect."
With the cafe set up like this, I thought it was really well done.
I expressed my satisfaction.
"I’ll send you a sausage later."
That should be enough, right?
And after that broadcast, time passed.
A lot didn’t really happen during that time.
But now...
"Haah..."
I was preparing to run my first ad.
