Chapter 176

[Hmm]

[Is this okay?]

[It's really expensive]

[This is fucking expensive, damn it]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Ah, the price is so awkward, I can't really say anything]

[Sigh]

[I’m just gonna get one t-shirt]

[I was gonna buy everything, but if I do that, it’s about 100,000 won]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: But what about the signed ones?]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Is it a hundred copies like you said last time?]

“Yeah, I’ll make about a hundred signed ones. Oh, and the total quantity will be around 500 copies.”

As I said before, I thought it was better to make a small quantity.

The reason was simple.

If they don't sell, it’s a huge loss.

‘I still don’t know my scale.’

If my scale had been significantly high, maybe I wouldn't care, but objectively speaking, my scale was a bit uncertain.

Although lately, I've been growing again, and it's been rising steeply.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu:?]

[500 copies? Who's gonna buy that?]

[Make more, make more, make more, make more, make more, make more]

[No, these fucking nerds have no idea about the demand, lol]

[These nerds have insane purchasing power, haha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Why so few?]

[Is it first-come-first-serve?]

[You don’t seriously think it’s first-come, right? lol]

[If it’s first-come-first-serve, I’ll hang myself]

“The method isn’t decided yet, but it’ll probably be a raffle.”

I thought a raffle would make more sense and be more fun.

I figured the viewers would react similarly.

I checked the chat while thinking about that.

[This is just too much]

[If it’s a raffle, then it’s fine]

[Macro users, cut them off! Hahaha]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I’m too slow, so]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I prefer the raffle..]

[Hahahaha]

[Honestly, not all of us have that fast response speed]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Hah]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: That’s a shame]

Compared to earlier, no one seemed really upset.

I could guess why.

Everyone wasn’t quick enough to buy the clothes if it was first-come-first-serve.

“So, in about two days, a notice will go up on YouTube, so please check it out and buy some merch. I’ll be embarrassed if anything’s left.”

I had asked them to make the merch, but if it didn’t sell out, I’d be really embarrassed.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Okay]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: I’ll buy it all]

[500 copies? That’s really gonna sell]

[Can’t you let only the live viewers buy it? Those who don’t watch live won’t be desperate enough]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I kind of agree, lol]

[Give some benefits to the live viewers too]

“What benefits? I’m just doing a raffle, so if you're lucky, you might get one.”

Since viewers who only watch on YouTube might feel a little left out, I thought it’d be better to handle things that way.

I said that and then started the game.

“Alright, today we’re playing this.”

This time, it was a new game.

Two days passed, and soon it was the day the merchandise would go on sale.

Of course, I was broadcasting on the day itself.

[Viewer Count: 14,201]

The current viewer count was 14,201.

Compared to before, the number of viewers had grown beyond imagination.

Of course, it wasn’t always like this.

Today was a somewhat special day.

“Did everyone check it out?”

[Eh]

[Yeah]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Ah, this is gonna be so much fun already, hahaha]

[Can’t wait, hahaha]

[Let’s play the damn public game, let’s go]

[It’s already so fun, hahaha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Finally doing this, damn it]

[Love you, Dama, yeah]

[Guess I’ll do it now since I got paid, hahaha]

[So ruthless]

[Hanhee: I heard you’re doing a horror game, so I came]

It was the day we were doing the horror game.

I usually avoided playing horror games, but yesterday I got such a big donation that I had no choice but to do it.

‘I couldn’t refuse after being thrown a million won like that.’

“But seriously, what’s so good about horror games…”

A sigh escaped my lips.

I had no choice but to do it, but to think 14,000 people came to watch for this.

“Why do so many people come to watch horror games, I just don’t get it.”

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Living point) Not everyone has entered yet]

[There’s more coming in, what are you talking about, haha]

[It’s a horror game event, do you think this is the end, you bastard]

[Let’s go, haha]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Preparing to clip, haha]

[Clipping and making fun of you for life]

[Come on, turn on the cam, Dama, yeah]

[Thinking about your handsome face getting distorted, I just get excited… haah..]

I was temporarily kicked out!

They said even more viewers were going to join, but I decided not to believe it.

How could more viewers come in?

We weren’t doing a collaboration or anything.

I thought that and waited for a while.

“Alright, today’s the day for the merch raffle, so let’s get to it. Is everyone ready?”

[Yeah]

[Waiting really hard, hahaha]

[Only buying the zip-up hoodie]

[Don’t buy the t-shirt, don’t buy the t-shirt, don’t buy the t-shirt]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Yeah, I’m definitely buying the hoodie, you idiot, hahaha]

[But why are we waiting if it’s a raffle?]

“Oh, looks like some people don’t know. We’re giving purchasing rights only to those who apply within 10 minutes, so that’s why everyone’s waiting like this.”

If I made the deadline unlimited, it wouldn’t be fun.

Waiting for 10 minutes and then doing the raffle seemed more interesting.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Ah, but I’m really nervous]

[I hope you do another raffle later, seriously]

[Please do another raffle later, you bastard]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: But don’t you have to give one to the manager for free? Why am I doing this?]

“Well, I’m being stricter because they’re the manager. If I give them special treatment, it’ll cause trouble for both of us.”

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: No, you should be giving special treatment to the manager]

[Managers are supposed to get special treatment, hahaha]

[Didn’t you send any merch to the manager?]

[Hahaha, funny]

[As expected, always taking advantage, Dapyeong, hahaha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Then send it to me fairly, yeah]

[No conscience, just give it to me, hahaha]

[What, now you're switching from Dapyeong to Bapyeong?]

I watched the chat scroll rapidly while waiting on the merch sales site.

And after a while...

Ding-!

It was time for the raffle.

Click-.

[Application completed.]

With the notification that my application was completed, the 10-minute countdown began.

[Ah, this is so nerve-wracking, hahaha]

[Let’s go, sigh]

[Please, please, please, please, please, please, please]

[You all won’t win, I’ll win, hahaha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: If I win, seriously, contact me separately]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: I’ll buy it at double the price, contact me]

[Oh]

[This is tempting]

“Ah, don’t resell them.”

I was selling the merch only for the fans, so there was no way I’d allow reselling.

If they did it, it better be somewhere I can’t see.

We chatted while waiting.

Ding-!

[Raffle complete.]

[Check]

“Wow, it’s up.”

Finally, the moment to check the raffle results came.

Looking at the chat, everyone was going crazy.

Some were spamming saying they won.

‘I guess I didn’t win.’

The odds didn’t seem that high.

I clicked to check it anyway-

“I won?”

I could see that I had won.

What?

How did this happen?

Were the competitors not as many as I thought?

“That was easy.”

I said that while looking at the chat-

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Dude]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Seriously, can you give it to me? I didn’t win]

[What’s the deal with the manager, you bastard]

[Manager’s useless]

[Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Seriously, give it to me…]

[Shit, really give it to me, please]

So many people were desperate.

It was a bit surprising.

To think that so many people would react like this to the merch.

I felt like there were more people who liked me than I thought.

‘Interesting.’

I thought that as I minimized the merch sales site and opened the game.

“Alright, let’s handle that later... now let’s start the game.”

Now it was time for the horror game.

Honestly, I didn’t want to do it at all... but what else could I do?

I got paid, so I had to.

“Sigh...”

I took a deep breath and clicked to start the game.

Hoping I wouldn’t scream.
