Chapter 13

The person often mentioned in the gallery is usually called the “gallery owner.”

Therefore, the VR Broadcasting Gallery also had such a gallery owner. Including Ga Joon-sik, they were the big names in the internet broadcasting industry.

Most of them were men, but there were exceptions. Women also sometimes became the gallery owners of the VR Broadcasting Gallery.

Interestingly, women didn’t necessarily have to be from big companies.

Of course, female gallery owners also had a decent number of viewers… but compared to the male gallery owners mentioned, they were indeed a step behind.

This was due to the characteristics of the broadcasting gallery.

They weren’t necessarily fans of the broadcasters.

What mattered to them was the relay. Broadcasting was just a tool for the relay; the broadcast itself wasn’t that important.

So, even broadcasts they didn’t watch could be mentioned by VR Broadcasting Gallery members for the sake of the relay.

Female broadcasters usually fell into this category.

They didn’t watch the broadcasts, but they mentioned them because the food humor was fun.

Not a daily toy, but a cherished one.

Well, male gallery owners were also treated like toys, but female broadcasters were only subjected to food humor.

It wasn’t intentional.

It’s just that female broadcasts seemed uninteresting, so they naturally ended up that way.

Male gallery owners watched the broadcasts, so their food humor mixed with the broadcast content.

It was a simple mechanism.

“I miss you… ‘Blue Hair’.”

(Bunny Run, who turned on the cam, sniping the entire VTuber community in a clip)

Bunny Run, a rare wise person in these times. I miss you…

– You became a VTuber yourself, didn’t you?

– To the VR Broadcasting Gallery

– Wasn’t it 6 months ago that she disappeared to reflect?

┗Yeah, it’s almost been 6 months.

┗┗She’ll be back soon, lol.

Bunny Run was one of the female gallery owners of that VR Broadcasting Gallery.

True to the gallery owner who loved food humor, Bunny Run’s every word stimulated people’s dopamine.

It’s hard to stimulate dopamine with words. If it were easy, comedians wouldn’t struggle.

That’s why Bunny Run’s remarks were very sharp. No, being sharp implies calculation, but Bunny Run wasn’t that type.

Simply a human without filters.

That’s why she ended up reflecting.

That was Bunny Run.

“Blue Hair is back lololol.”

(Clip of Bunny Run awkwardly greeting with rabbit ear avatar)

The 6-month rule exists, yep.

– Is a broadcaster’s reflection really reflection? Lol, more like a vacation where they do whatever and travel.

– So, she’s not turning on the cam anymore?

The VR Broadcasting Gallery mainly watches cam broadcasts. But that doesn’t mean they reject VTubers.

Unlike the old minor gallery days, they don’t block people for talking about VTubers, or blank out names like [” ” is Ga Joon-sik’s fan lol], or mosaic VTubers in screenshots.

But they don’t go out of their way to mention VTubers either.

In short, VTuber topics in the VR Broadcasting Gallery were like talking about novel writing techniques in a genre novel gallery.

A topic no one was interested in, with comments like “Take it to the web novel gallery.”

It’s true they reject it.

But they don’t block, right?

That level of tolerance would make Mother Teresa cry.

I digressed. Let’s get back on track.

There are exceptions to everything.

And Bunny Run was one of those exceptions.

A VTuber who, even when relayed in the VR Broadcasting Gallery, doesn’t get comments like “Take it to the VTuber Broadcasting Gallery.”

Even if such comments appear, half of them are jokes.

It’s because she was a cam broadcaster who switched to being a VTuber, a unique case.

Bunny Run is still young and pretty. For her to give up the cam seems like giving up her strengths.

And it was indeed giving up.

Yet, Bunny Run became a VTuber.

The reason was simple.

Because every time she turned on the cam and caused controversy, her face ended up in leak videos, which was a bit much.

You might think she could just avoid causing controversy, but people who can do that don’t get into controversies in the first place.

Plus, she went into reflection 6 months after becoming a VTuber, so Bunny Run’s decision was ultimately right.

“What have I been doing all this time? Part-time jobs.”

―――

Part-time jobs? Lol, what, are you begging for money?

―――

“I’m trying not to ban people on my first day back, but I can’t stand nonsense. And what’s this about begging for money? It’s just in case my comeback flops. I can’t just kill myself if the broadcast fails.”

―――

Suicide talk lololol

Are you going into reflection again?

She just has no filter.

―――

“Don’t overreact. If this is controversial, I can’t do broadcasts anyway.”

Saying that, Bunny Run put a candy in her mouth.

That action, visible through her virtual avatar, made the chat lively.

―――

Cigarette entrance lololol

The ‘smoke’ in Moonpi Smoke

Weird… She’s supposed to be 17 in the setting, but it’s weird… She’s supposed to be 17 in the setting, but it’s weird… She’s supposed to be 17 in the setting, but…

―――

“I don’t smoke.”

Bunny Run got annoyed and displayed the chat on the screen.

It was a warning that she’d unleash a ban wave if they kept messing around.

―――

Gasp

Gasp

She smokes and blames the viewers (deleted)

Bow down! (deleted)

―――

Bunny Run banned all the annoying chats and spoke up.

“You all know I don’t have tattoos or piercings.”

―――

Hmm… It’s been a year since she turned off the cam, who knows if she got any since then.

Who held a knife to your throat and forced you to be a VTuber?

Turn on the cam.

―――

“Leak bastards did hold a knife to my throat.”

That comment turned the chat into a sea of laughter.

Bunny Run, who had unwillingly played the clown, clicked her tongue lightly and began to spill the tea about the part-time job she had originally intended to talk about.

“Date, break up, date, break up. In just six months of part-time work, I’ve already seen it five times. Sure, it’s a place where if you don’t date, you get called names, but this is too much. A theme park? No, another part-time job. A ski resort? No, stop asking. I won’t tell you.”

—

What was she hoping for, going all the way to the Animal Kingdom? (That’s not it, right?)

So, you too? (Deleted)

Did you know? The first author to use a narrative trick was Agatha Christie. The last author to use it was Bunny Run.

—

“Do you think I had the mental space for that? You guys haven’t experienced cyberbullying, so you can’t gauge it, but I had no mind for dating.”

Bunny Run spat out a candy and continued.

“It seems the place has that kind of reputation. The newbie who just joined only hangs out with guys, it’s ridiculous.”

—

Did a cat pick the part-time job for you?

—

“I didn’t know it would be this bad. I just took it because the hourly wage near my house was good.”

Answering casually, Bunny Run checked the time.

Talking about her recent life, she realized two hours had already flown by.

Bunny Run closed her mouth and looked around.

Viewers who caught on started chatting.

—

You must do your homework, yeah, from the day you return, you should do your homework, yeah.

Bunny, are you worried about MTube’s algorithm going to hell?

If you haven’t uploaded a video in six months, isn’t it already ruined?

That’s for the popular MTube, but for us in the underworld MTube, the algorithm affects us less.

—

“Maybe I’ll play <Eternal World> for the first time in a while.”

Bunny Run is a female game streamer. And a somewhat skilled one at that.

Thanks to her skills, often hitting the upper Diamond ranks and occasionally Master, she maintained her popularity.

Her live streams, where she speaks unfiltered, were the main attraction, but her MTube videos consistently hitting 100,000 views were thanks to her skills in <Eternal World>.

So, even during live streams, she would often play <Eternal World> as “homework.”

It was similar this time.

To upload a video to her neglected MTube after a six-month hiatus, she was doing her “homework.”

Choosing her position and hitting the game find button, the queue popped quickly.

Bunny Run’s position was Outer Solo. The loneliest role in <Eternal World>.

Players watching the Outer Solo, who roamed the outskirts of the map growing alone, said it was like playing a different game.

Sometimes, they actually were.

Bunny Run quickly leveled up by dealing with the basic objects of the outer contaminated zone, the mutants.

The outskirts were vast but had few resources.

The mutants were sparsely placed, and the main objects, Named Mutants, appeared one at a time at regular intervals.

Thus, Outer Solo was a position where if you lost a 1v1, your growth would be significantly delayed.

Well, the contaminated zone was so vast that if you didn’t want to die, you could survive forever, but people who played like that didn’t choose Outer Solo in the first place.

Bunny Run faced an enemy Outer Solo just before the first Named Mutant.

Outer Solo positions often had characters specialized in 1v1 battles.

The character Bunny Run chose was a knight in Full Plate Armor, ‘Marvin Flail.’

After cleanly slicing the enemy Outer Solo’s neck with a combo, she defeated the Named Mutant.

An item dropped from the mutant.

Picking up a war hammer oozing a gloomy aura, Bunny Run said,

“Off to a good start, huh?”

—

Getting a weapon from the start, lol.

A war hammer is at least a tier 2 weapon.

—

The unique feature of the Outer Solo position was its randomness.

The main objects of the outskirts, Named Mutants, dropped cursed items randomly upon death.

Weapons, armor, special artifacts, etc. A wide variety of items dropped, so Outer Solos often used characters who could handle item randomness well.

Bunny Run’s main character, Marvin, was a specialist in weapons, using swords, knuckles, hammers, spears, etc.

In exchange, items related to magic had extremely poor performance… but other items had decent performance.

Perhaps because the item gacha went well. Bunny Run gained momentum and grew steeply.

She grew so much that the enemy Outer Solo gave up on the Named Mutant and fled to the city.

Having grown satisfactorily, Bunny Run entered the city to join the team fight.

Imagining crushing the enemy alone, Bunny Run entered the tier 2 object, [Floating Skyscraper].

And her head got smashed in the enemy City Core.

In the gray screen state, Bunny Run blankly opened the info window.

Checking the enemy City Core, almost full build, Bunny Run looked at her team’s City Core’s KDA.

And she couldn’t help but blurt out.

“What the hell did Han Yoorim do to already have double-digit deaths?”
