Chapter 15 - Includes Paid Advertising (1)

Late evening.

The comprehensive game streamer ‘Dalnyang’ started his broadcast. He was one of the so-called ‘big companies,’ a successful streamer.

He wasn’t particularly physically gifted or a great game player. However, his gentle personality and calm tone created a pleasant broadcast atmosphere, and his perseverance in achieving set goals despite his shortcomings earned him much love.

“Hey, Daldeungi, come on in.”

The broadcast, which began with Dalnyang’s greeting, quickly surpassed 5,000 viewers. But this was not even half of it.

This was because it was the casual chat time before the main game broadcast. From light conversation about recent events to talking with the viewers, the number of viewers soon surpassed 10,000.

Just as the mood was getting even more lively,

[‘Hyungimotbonsandra’ has sponsored a video for 30,000 won.]

Someone had sent a video sponsorship.

Dalnyang glanced at it.

“Huh? What’s this? It’s not something inappropriate, is it?”

- Inappropriate? Bring it all in!

- ???: No? Then pass.

- Minister of the Interior! It’s here!

Dalnyang joked as he played the video. The viewers, unable to hold back, were busy teasing him.

“Ah, it’s Sandra. She really got a lot of flak when she barked. Even when I was in the shower, I could hear the shouting, you know?”

- Really, she got a lot of flak~

- Chronic aim issues...

- Out of 25 hours of playing, almost 7 hours were just getting flak lol

“But what do you mean I didn’t see it?”

While watching the video and filling the audio like a pro, his eyes widened.

“Whoa? What’s this? Is this Sandra? This isn’t the Sandra I know.”

The video was a compilation of Sandra’s cutscenes from Purple Qube. Most of the viewers had similar reactions.

- Is it a different game?

- How can Sandra be so affectionate?

- Ah lol, this is trending lately

- Shh! Mentioning Tas gets you banned!

Some viewers pretended to know, but that was it. Dalnyang had a rule to restrain viewers who mentioned other streamers.

“No, what is this? How did you do this? I won’t ban you, so tell me.”

He was serious.

But the viewers didn’t take it that way.

[‘Hamjeongkadabdong!’ has sponsored 1,000 won.]

[You just activated my trap CARD!]

[‘Dalnyang's Inner Thoughts’ has sponsored 5,000 won.]

[Supporting a Tas video? I need to set some rules.]

The playful sponsorship messages made Dalnyang express his frustration.

“No, no! Are these guys just living to deceive? Ah, forget it! I’ll look it up myself.”

The search wasn’t difficult.

The title of the sponsored video was displayed below. He checked Purple’s Qube channel, setting it so the channel page wouldn’t be exposed.

“Wow... What is this person? Are they crazy?”

What caught his eye first were the popular draw videos and Purple’s action highlights.

- Really watching?

- Not acting?

- Ah lol, our streamer is a good actor

- Fact: Dalnyang was the first to be eliminated in the Mafia game.

- That’s it! Your HP is already 0!

While the viewers teased him, Dalnyang could only marvel at Purple’s physical prowess.

“No, no. I won’t say the name to avoid any misunderstanding, but this is really amazing. The best physical performance I’ve ever seen.”

His expression was genuine. There was no reason to fake it.

The viewers started to get interested.

- How good is it?

- Does everything look amazing to you? lol

- Info: ‘That’ streamer even got developer certification.

Dalnyang didn’t miss the information that appeared in the chat.

“Hey, the developer checked it out? Then it’s settled. Wow, there are really amazing people in the world.”

- So impressive!

- You’re impressive too!

- Your aim is amazing in a different way lol

- Company recruitment?

- More members for DirtBox?

DirtBox, the MCN Dalnyang belonged to, was a management company for quite a few famous streamers.

Dalnyang quickly waved his hand.

“Hey, am I the CEO? Who am I to recruit anyone? Come on, let’s move on. If we keep talking like this, it’ll just get weird.”

With that, the viewers started to police each other. Dalnyang tilted his head slightly before changing the topic.

“Ah, but if they get this popular, a lot of leechers will come. They need to handle it well...”

- Let’s stop!

- You’re at it again lol

- Self-ban gg

“Ah, really, that’s it! That’s it! Now, today’s game is~!”

Dalnyang quickly moved on to the game broadcast.

A new section was added to Purple Qube’s channel.

[Bio Crisis Hidden Story]

Previously, the channel mainly featured highlight compilations under 10 minutes. However, with the end of Chapter 3, story videos were uploaded.

[- Oh lol, the story is out!]

[- A bit long to watch in one go.]

[- Editor, thank you for your hard work!]

Thanks to Choi Byunghoon’s editing skills, the video was trimmed down, making it perfect for subscribers curious about the story.

However, not all subscribers were satisfied. In fact, most were not.

[- Only Korean?]

[- English subtitles please!]

This was because the story videos lacked foreign language subtitles.

Since the majority of Purple Qube’s subscribers were foreigners, comments requesting subtitles quickly gained recommendations and rose to the top.

[- Hypocrisy, isn’t it?]

[- Did they provide Korean subtitles for you?]

[- If you’re upset... you know what to do, right?]

[- If you’re upset, learn Korean.]

[- Some Qube shitters intentionally post English comments.]

[- Lazy shitters who can’t even use a translator.]

But the reaction was cold.

Foreign streamers also didn’t provide subtitles.

Some netizens captured this situation and posted it on community forums. However, the community was already buzzing with other topics.

[(Spoilers) Bark Chapter 3 Plot Summary (999+)]

[Did you see the big reveal? This is assassination lol (878)]

[Dalnyang is surprised by Purple Qube lol (647)]

[Jessica vs Sandra Vote (593)]

The newly revealed plot twists, Purple’s performance, and Dalnyang’s reactions were circulating as clips, along with the introduction of the second heroine.

However, there was another, different reaction.

[Executing the Bastard Challenge]

[GodPle cut the bastard cleanly, but I couldn’t let it go.

I don’t have the physical prowess to clear the hidden content, and even if I did, I couldn’t get the Giant Bastard.

I was about to give up, but...

Damn, I realized I could kill the bastard in the existing route.

So I turned on Bark and loaded the chapter where I could execute the bastard lol

After killing him about 20 times, I felt a bit better.

I recommend this to other Bark players who are upset.]

[- Ah lol, there was a way

[- You... are a genius?]

[- Bastard, I’m going for 30 tries]

[- Creative Bark player, well done~]

This post was about executing the culprit of the survivor massacre, Logan. As such posts started to appear, they became a trend in the Bio Crisis community.

[Mod for Physical Players]

[I put in some effort for players who want to participate in the challenge but can’t reach Logan’s execution.

Actually, killing one at a time was frustrating, but I had an idea and made this mod lol

It’s a mod that overlays Logan’s source onto Bark’s zombie models lol

It only works for regular zombies, but it shouldn’t matter.

It’s free, so use it well.]

[- Haha, you’re crazy lol]

[- Talented, go for it!]

[- 770 million! Already feels good]

[- Bark players who are serious about executing the bastard...]

[- Downvote if you’re a bastard?]

[- Sir, will you make a Purple mod?]

Even to the point of making a mod for executing Logan. This effort became an issue and spread across various communities.

As game communities were buzzing about Bio Crisis, a new post appeared.

[Here it comes damn]

[The leechers are starting to rev up.]

The new post, not very long, linked to a Qube video channel. It was an information channel that compiles and posts hot issues from internet communities.

[- It’s bound to get caught.]

[- <A Physical Streamer Who Became a Million-Subscriber Quber in a Day, and Got Developer Certification.>]

[- The leechers picked a good title lol]

[- Is this just a joke?]

[- They’re already flying high, and now they’re adding fuel lol]

At first, almost no one saw it as a problem. Many of the posts summarized Purple’s performance and explained how amazing it was.

Most community users, who were mostly Purple’s fans, felt satisfied.

However, not all channels viewed him positively.

[Damn, what is this?]

[While watching Purple Qube, a related video appeared at the end.

<Revealing the Hidden Story of Bark.>

<Uncovering the Bark Story from the Revealed Plot Twists.>

<Comet-like Streamer, Got Developer Support?>

Are these videos all from Purple Qube? Is it okay to use them like this?]

[- What the hell, the content is nothing?]

[- Making videos like this is why leechers get flak.]

[- They have no sense lol]

[- Raising doubts and then saying ‘if not, whatever’ is so typical.]

[- Delete the post. Leechers only like it when views increase.]

To attract more attention, the titles were provocative, but the content was weak.

It was natural for people to be upset.

[Community Post!]

[I asked the Purple Qube channel manager, and got a response.

The leechers didn’t get permission to use the videos.

Damn, they were thieves, not leechers lol]

This sparked the fire, and someone poured oil
