âI possess character in the game I made, so Iâm just doing what I know.â
âThatâs why itâs more of a problem. If you had the right skill, you would have already broken it.â
âDoes that mean that Ozworld is trying to kill me?â
When I asked with a dark expression, Chehope laughed bitterly.
âNow you understand your situation. Thatâs right. Ozworld is cornering you to kill you!â
âThen he can kill me himself. Why would he do such bothersome things?â
âThatâs right, killing you himselfâŠâ
Chehope said and then suddenly closed his mouth. It was clear that it was information he didnât want to share.
âAnyway, the important thing is that youâre broadcasting at a very disadvantage right now.â
âI see.â
Looks like the channel manager canât kill BJ directly.
Chehope excitedly pointed out that this is wrong and that is wrong. Then he paused at a certain point. ââŠQuest reward is a coin?â It was obviously a look of surprise.
âHa! Ah⊠So youâre going with this strategy?â
Should I say itâs a nervous expression?
âThis is the biggest problem. The quest reward system is the most effective and reliable system to improve BJ, but to waste it just with coins?! Even without properly replenishing store items!â
I tilted my head. âIf I collect coins, I can buy a wish ticket.â
âRaising the rankings and channel rating is the first priority. Then you can earn coins that are incomparable to now. Do you get it?â
In principle, Chehope was right.
âBut I havenât had any inconvenience so far?â
Except for the nervousness of not receiving the advanced etiquette, the items needed at the right time have been stocked up so far.
âHaaa. Youâre really stupid. The reason you got to this position is purely because this is the first romance broadcast managed by Ozworld.â
Chehope explained with veins popping up his neck that the upper world was a real war of stars. âAn uncompetitive BJ like you will never survive. Youâre going to fall off very quickly.â
As I was blinking, Chehope approached me with a cheesy smile as if he was trying to seduce me. âIt would be different if you became my BJ.â
Indeed. My prediction wasnât wrong.
âIf it were me, I could make you number one in the shortest amount of time. I promise to treat you the best.â
At that time, when I found something, I widened my eyes and raised my hand as if to dissuade him. âWait, behind you!â
âIf you want to be transferred, I will immediatelyââ
Pow!
âUurgh!â
The sound of the punch was rougher and worse than I thought. So it made me feel more nauseous.
Ozworld appeared suddenly from behind Chehope, stretched out his hand, and punched him. He was definitely barehand, only wearing his gloves.
Tududuk! On the floor, something like stardust surrounded by transparent liquid poured out. It was a beautiful light that didnât match the eerie sight.
Chehope turned his head back with his bloody eyes wide open. âKeugh⊠Do you know that the punishment for injuring the manager has been strengthened these daysâŠ?â
Ozworld responded casually. âYes, I know.â And twisted his hand. Pow!
âAargh! Damn it! Donât touch the core! Do you think you can safely pass to do something like this to the #1 channel manager?!â
A system window appeared next to Ozworld. I checked the screen with only my gaze moving in a stiff frozen state. It said [Compensation completed].
Ozworld shrugged. âLooks like I made it through unscathed.â
âStop! Stopâ! Damn it, Iâll never touch this BJ from now on!â
Only then did Ozworld withdraw his hand. I saw that his black gloves were full of tiny particles of light.
Chehope stumbled back, uttering a number of swear words, and then disappeared.
Ding!
[Channel Manager â Ozworld has blocked the Constellation ââWatch the Session Jackko Broadcastâ.]
The Constellation that was messing around was also blocked by him. Everything was sorted out in an instant.
I looked at him with a pale face. It seemed that my energy, which had been restored by the potion, had been depleted again.  I knew he was a ruthless man. I knew it, but what I saw in person shocked me greatly.
Heâs someone you canât deal with common sense. Still, knowing that this man couldnât kill me was the biggest gain of the day.
I should also remember that channel managers have a core, and their blood is unique.
âHaa, gosh.â
Ozworld threw off his gloves grimly as if he had something dirty on him. The black gloves turned into dust in the air before they even touched the floor.
âItâs been a long time since I saw you, but you made me go through something bad.â
He patted his shoulder and said in a slightly annoyed voice.
âThe Constellations will be watching the advertisement for a while. To see the channel manager intervene in the broadcast. What an amateurish move.â
Todayâs Ozworld was the same as usual, splendidly dressed up, but something different stood out.
âŠIs it snow?
Ozworldâs colorful dyed hair and red suits were covered with white snow. It was completely out of season, so I realized he had come here quickly from somewhere else. Thereâs no way itâs snowing on a spring day.
I reached out to his shoulder without realizing it. The snowflakes that touched my hand were cold.
ââŠItâs real snow.â
âDo you like snow?â
There was no reason to lie, so I spoke frankly. âI like it.â
Ozworld then kissed me on the cheek. He smiled as I froze in surprise.
âHow have you been?â
Ah, it was a greeting. I unconsciously tried to wipe my cheek but restrained myself. Now, Iâm quite used to Ozworldâs unruly behavior, but I havenât adapted to this custom. Besides, I was kissed at a totally unexpected time, so my heart dropped.
Ozworld shook the snow off his head like a puppy.
ââŠCold.â
Itâs all bouncing on me.
âDid it bounce?â
He gently rubbed my wet cheek with his ungloved hand. It was an act that felt awkwardly friendly.
âEnough, Iââ
âItâs not a very good feeling to be turned down, Miss Theresa.â
He really does whatever he wishes. As always, I let Ozworld do whatever he wanted, but I suddenly had a question that made me open my mouth.
âIs something like this common to happen?â
âYou mean another channel manager coming over? Not really. Itâs an unwritten rule not to interfere with each other.â
Ozworld looked up for a moment, dropping his hand from my cheek. I felt a faint annoyance in the deep blue eyes staring into the air, perhaps thinking of something.
âSometimes there are manipulative managers. The broadcasts I manage are especially easy to target.â
Is it the trouble of a successful person?
âThe manager said earlier that I donât have many skills. Is that okay?â
âThis is not a hunter genre or an infinite loop genre, so excessive skill usage only diminishes the enjoyment of the broadcast. It also obscures the essence of romance broadcast.â
He must be a love expert.
Chehope paid attention to the fact that my quest reward was a coin, not a growth skill. So why did Ozworld choose coins over skills?
âAre you aiming for the shortest sponsorship record?â
With that, a new record notification would pop up on all servers, and a large number of Constellations would come here.
Ozworld smirked at my murmur. âIâm glad youâre not stupid.â
As I was narrowing my eyebrows at the words I didnât know if it was a curse word or a compliment, Ozworld held out his arm. Now Iâm used to this kind of behavior. I put my hand on his arm like a well-trained puppy. Ozworld smiled slightly as if praising my actions, then moved slowly.
We began walking around the abandoned annex. The smell of soil and grass was refreshing, thanks to the rain yesterday. It felt as if the terrifying events of the moment had quickly flowed into the past.
Ozworld spoke. âActually, the idea of this strategy came from your play style.â
âMy play style?â
âThese days, all the broadcasts are excessively stimulating and donât delve into the struggles and lives of individuals. Well, who would watch such things? Theyâre boring and lame.â
It was a trend seen in all the content industries. As time goes by, people feel that deep and delicate things are getting slower and more frustrating.
âThen, compared to other broadcasts, a BJ with a humble, ordinary worldview appeared.â
Is <Godâs Play>, where all kinds of races and magic prevail, an ordinary worldview? Arenât the standards of the Constellations too twisted?
âThese days, itâs full of stimulating content, so even the Constellations must have been irritated. Thatâs why I personally analyze that the retro-themed âVillainessâ is on the rise.â
ââŠâ
As an ordinary earthling, I couldnât keep up with the conversation at all.
