I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work-Chapter 220

Why didn’t people recognize Pino?

Her RP name was blatantly “Pin0,” so anyone paying attention could’ve figured it out.

But her broadcast nickname was completely different from “Pino,” so realizing it was her would’ve required a miracle.

[Park Inyeong]

[(🔴Live) I’m the Craziest Bitch in This Neighborhood] 👪112

The nickname “PIN0” was derived from her real name, Park In-young.

She shortened “Park In Young” to P IN 0.

So who on earth would recognize her broadcast name “Park Inyeong,” a barely altered version of her real name?

But the days of hiding her identity were over.

Even if they pretended not to know each other because it was their first time meeting in RP,

Pino’s pure affection for Magia couldn’t be hidden.

She was already pushing the limits of restraint.

Even just today, she’d blown all the money she earned on taxi fare just to meet “Manager Ma,” the taxi driver.

“I want to knock the driver out and take her home with me.”

“I’ll pass.”

“Then how about knocking the driver out and filling out a marriage registration form?”

“No thanks. We’re both women.”

Pino laughed with a bright giggle.

“I always carry a certain quote in my heart.”

“What is it?”

“If it doesn’t work, make it work.”

— What

— Eh?

— ㄷㄷ

— Polar bear's dead!!!

At that point, people started sensing something oddly familiar about the RP-er named “Pin0.”

It was definitely a cute voice,

but everything she said was completely deranged.

“But, I don’t like forcing people who clearly don’t want it.”

“Glad to see you’re a sensible passenger despite appearances.”

“Of course. Don’t I totally look like a normal, well-adjusted person?”

“Walking around wearing just underwear on your lower half doesn’t exactly scream normal...”

“This is the ‘no-bottoms fashion’ that’s trending lately! You seriously lack sense.”

“I guess I’ve fallen behind on trends, stuck driving taxis all day.”

“Then why don’t you try no-bottoms fashion from now on too, driver?”

“I get cold easily, so I’ll politely decline. But thanks.”

“Lame.”

— Lame, she says, LOL

— She’s just nuts, bro 😂

— Honestly, her usual behavior is crazy... mmmph

— Terrifying

This person, who already gave off chaotic vibes just from her username.

If she was acting this clingy just from hearing Magia’s voice, maybe she really was Pino?

One curious Slug couldn’t hold back and headed to Pino (Park Inyeong)’s stream, sending a {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} donation to confirm.

:: An anonymous donor has gifted 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Chairwoman, what are you doing right now? ::

They were instantly blocked, and got this response:

— 👑Park Inyeong: Mind your own business ^^

— Gasp

— Gasp

That’s right.

Streamer Park Inyeong, with her 2,019 followers, was in fact Pino!

... ─ — Parallel (VTuber) Gallery ─ ─ — ...

[Holy shit it really was Pino lmfaooooooo]

(mysterious_syrup_voice.clip)

Her RP name was blatantly Pin0 so I figured it might be her

But like, when did she even start streaming? 😂

[Comments]

— Parallel086: After Magia posted about “Thunderbolt Special City,” the next week

ㄴ Parallel086: She started streaming then and gained 2K followers in under two months LOL

ㄴ Parallel784: insane

— Parallel771: Pretty sure like 1,990 of those 2K followers are just Magia stans LOL

ㄴ Parallel665: fr lmao

... ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ...

... ─ — Parallel (VTuber) Gallery ─ ─ — ...

[Pino’s streams are surprisingly entertaining]

Her style is basically just Magia’s clone

Except she didn’t sprinkle in a pinch of madness, she dumped the whole box in

She’s a dopamine addict, there’s no way her content could be boring

[Comments]

— Parallel225: For real, she’s a dopamine junkie—there’s never a dull moment

— Parallel772: She’s in debt, throws money at stocks and donations, has a honey voice—how could that not be fun LMAOOOO

ㄴ Parallel810: so true lmao

... ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ...

Once the news spread, the Slugs collectively went into shock.

They’d thought Pino was some lolicon pervert old dude,

but turns out she was an obsessive chick with an adorably sweet voice.

What baffled everyone even more was how someone with such a unique voice hadn’t been streaming all this time.

But Pino was, after all, one of Magia’s people.

She’s someone drowning in her day job to pay off debt,

barely scraping by while simping for Magia every day.

Lately, it felt like donating to Magia had overtaken debt repayment as her top priority.

Still, even now, Magia comes before streaming.

She only hit 2K followers this time because she wanted to attend the fan meet.

If there hadn’t been that requirement, she would’ve never spent 24 hours doing a J-pop World Cup,

or 18 hours on the Parallel Ultimate Skill World Cup, despite her already overloaded main job.

Anyway, Pino barely made the cut to enter the server, and she had one goal:

To make Magia the main character of the server.

So her flirtatious act toward “Manager Ma,” the taxi driver, wasn’t just pure affection.

It was a calculated play.

Will you take my hand?

I’ll make you the most famous person in this server.

...Something along those lines.

Magia caught on to that shady intention to some degree and tried to wrap things up naturally.

Even then, as the person responsible for the server, she hoped Pino wouldn’t cause trouble and left her with one line:

“Wishing you a peaceful day.”

Hearing that, Pino gave it her own special interpretation.

‘Driving taxis all day must be so boring for her...’

Thinking that Magia would need her support to go full throttle,

she officially kicked off preparations to back her up.

In Pino’s view, the first things to secure were: money, weapons, and a vehicle.

To buy scarce supplies on the server, you need money.

And since the server is based on Neo California, weapons and vehicles are practically essentials.

‘I should at least prepare things in advance so she can have fun when she gets her RP expansion pass...’

***

Even though all the Slugs were desperate,

Magia continued faithfully driving her taxi on the third day.

What’s the point of donating? She says thanks, sure—but doesn’t even look at the gacha coins.

Maybe that’s why the chat was already boiling over like magma.

— Please

— How long are you gonna drive that taxi???? You wanna see me go insane???? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

— Ugh, Gia-ya, please

— I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT I’M LOSING IT

But whether the Slugs burned or not,

Magia kept grinding, and by day three, she had hit her original target.

She’d secured the contact info of over half of the 400 users on the server.

Counting the numbers collected by other drivers, it was fair to say they could now reach all 400 users at any time.

“Well, I guess I can take it easy with the taxi stuff now.”

That single line made all the Slugs’ ears perk up.

They stayed cautious—never knew when Magia would hit them with another bait-and-switch.

But deep down, they were begging her to finally use those stacked gacha coins and pull an RP Expansion Ticket.

— For real?

— Seriously? Not kidding?

— Yeah I don’t buy it LOL don’t believe you don’t believe you don’t believe you don’t believe you don’t believe you

— Gia lives in her taxi, Slugs are gonna explode~

“If you don’t wanna believe it, fine. But I was thinking it’s about time I spun some gacha coins.”

So on the third day, with just an hour left before the server shut down for maintenance,

Magia parked her taxi by the beach...

Then sat on a bench facing the sea and started fiddling with her inventory.

She even dropped a sweet line for the Slugs who had been showering her with donations for three straight days.

“You guys have been so generous with donations, it’d be rude not to open some, right?”

— Wait what

— Is she actually gonna do it?

— Yup I believe it LOL totally believe it LOL Magia pulling gacha? 100% real LOL

— FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

— Why’s she acting like this all of a sudden? Did she eat something weird?

:: An anonymous donor has gifted 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Are you short on gacha coins, by any chance? ::

— Gasp

— So that’s what it was LOL

— Ahaha

— Money magnet genius

“Nope. I’m not asking for more donations or anything.

I’ve just been ignoring everyone’s gacha requests because I was busy, so now I figured I’d make it up to you.”

— Hmm

— Hmm...

— Hm

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

Even if no one believed her, Magia did what she said.

The sound of her clicking through more than 500 stored gacha coins filled the stream.

Click. Click. Click...

And every time she clicked, the Slugs were there to scream on her behalf, so the sound never felt lonely.

— Please

— Aaah

— COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

— This is rigged, I swear I saw it

— Please I’m begging you pleaseeeeee 😭😭😭😭😭

— Praying, praying

— I’ll live on corn flour for the rest of the year, just let it drop

— Already flexing my corn flour life, bro lol

After using all 500 of her coins, plus another 100 that came in mid-stream,

it was around the 590th spin when—

“Oh.”

{{ Acquired: RP Expansion Ticket }}

At 5:30 a.m., when most people were asleep,

Magia was calm and quiet,

but the Slugs who were still watching lost their minds.

— HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

— SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT SHE GOT IT

— I had a shitty day but it’s fine now ‘cause Magia was lucky, I’m glad I was unlucky

— FUUUUUUUUUCK YEAH

— SHE GOT IT LMAOOOOOOOO

— THIS IS IT LOL THIS IS IT LOL THIS IS IT LOL THIS IS IT LOL THIS IS IT LOL THIS IS IT LOL

— She actually pulled it, crazy bitch lmfao

:: An anonymous donor has gifted 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Did you know that’s the first one pulled on the server? LOL ::

Even in Wicker Town, she was the first—

and now here too, she’d done it.

“Oh, I was the first?”

— Yep yep yep

— So what now? So what now? So what now? So what now? So what now? So what now? So what now?

— Now what????

— That’s what I wanna know

— What’s the RP? WHAT’S THE RP? QUICK, IT’S URGENT

“Hm.”

Magia already had something in mind.

She quietly opened the character creation screen.

She tweaked the customization and made a character short like herself.

— Cute

— Of course she made it look like her

— Didn’t act like this before LOL

— Why’s she making it a goblin again

Then she moved the [S] Cosmetic Set Selector from her main account and picked

the Cute Devil Girl Set—complete with twin-tails, tiny devil horns, a frilly dress, and bows.

— ?

— Holy crap that’s adorable LOL

— Is this a cute girl RP?

Once her character was ready, Magia explained the backstory.

“She’s the younger sister of my original RP character, Manager Ma.

She’s sweet and innocent to her sister, but a total chaos gremlin who loves to mess around.”

— Oh no

— Is this what I think it is? LOL Is this what I think it is? LOL Is this what I think it is? LOL

— Is this gonna be chaos?

“Yes. This is exactly the kind of character you all were hoping for.

She’s going to be the biggest troublemaker in Thunderbolt Special City.”

The Slugs erupted in cheers.

They had secretly worried that even if Magia got the RP ticket,

she’d go, “Ugh, I don’t wanna cause problems,” and make some bland RP instead.

But no—this was exactly the chaos RP they wanted. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Of course, since Parallel basically ran Thunderbolt Special City,

she couldn’t do anything that would actually offend others or count as bad RP.

But they believed in Magia—

that she could create glorious chaos without crossing the line.

“Her name’ll be Tia. As in Tiamat’s Tia.”

— Ohhh

— Sounds legit

— Nice

Still, the Slugs should’ve noticed when she picked that RP name.

Because whenever Magia gets into a game,

she tends to become the character—especially when sponsorships are involved.

And this time, she needed people not to know she was Magia.

That’s how she’d get those unexpected, wild reactions that made the whole server fun.

So when Tia was fully created and stepped into the world,

her very first line was—

“Hmm~ What a dull little city this turned out to be~.”

— ?

— ??

— ?

It sounded like nothing Magia had ever done before.

Even the Slugs had never heard this voice.

Magia’s usual trolling voice was already infuriating on its own.

But this?

This was five times worse—

a nasal, whiny tone laced with cutesy overacting.

“Even if this city’s a dump...

I’d love it if someone here could at least entertain me~.”

Just listening to it made the Slugs feel faint.

Sure, they understood she had to hide her identity...

but this level of overacting wasn’t what they’d hoped for.

:: An anonymous donor has gifted 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Okay but like... we didn’t actually want a cringy chuuni brat... ::

— Who even are you

— ???

— Bro what the fuck LMAOOOO

— This ain’t Magia...

— Cute but uh... yeah...

— AAAAAAAAAAA

— You’ve gone too far, psycho LOLLLLLL

— This is way too much LMAO

— Ugh it’s so cringe LOL

— I’m losing my mind LOL
