Chapter 45 - Advertising Broadcast!
Games are truly an enjoyable culture.
The games I enjoyed in front of stationery stores when I was young.
The games I enjoyed through arcades and PC rooms.
The games I enjoyed staying up late even after becoming an adult.
In this way, games have left deep traces throughout my life.
That’s why I try not to discriminate when it comes to games.
I don’t look down on or say “Why are you playing such a crappy game?” if I play League of Legends and the other person plays Heroes of the Storm.
Isn’t it ultimately one’s freedom to play whatever game they want?
In that sense, I wanted to immerse myself as much as possible in whatever game it might be and do a broadcast that would be satisfactory from the advertiser’s perspective.
“But this is a bit… not right!”
-Haha! Hani, it means hi.
-Was Hani one of us too? Suddenly feeling very favorable.
-No way, Hani plays this game too?
Viewers who came in after seeing the broadcast title are already laughing and enjoying themselves.
[Today I’m adopting my daughter.]
[Hani-nim is broadcasting!]
Adopting a daughter.
Yes, it’s a game with many elements of raising simulation.
Didn’t everyone play it at least once when they were young?
The legendary masterpiece Princess Maker.
It’s a similar type of game.
But they’re human… but not human.
-Can’t resist horse daughters
-Is this that game that horse-faces are crazy about?
[Surisurimasuri has been chat banned for 1 minute.]
-Anyway, the Japanese are really good at making strange things. I don’t think we could even imagine such a game in our country.
The so-called horse daughter raising game that was a mega-hit in Japan earlier this year and landed in Korea two weeks ago!
It became a topic when a domestic game company signed a publishing contract around March.
That’s the company I signed a one-time broadcast advertising contract with.
Before starting the broadcast, I learned some prior knowledge about the game.
That way, I could inform viewers about basic information and features of the game and conduct an advertising broadcast that would please the advertiser.
But this game was a bit difficult for me.
To be honest, not just a bit, but very…
-Did the host watch the original work before playing the horse daughter game?
-For real, it’s not polite to start without even watching the anime.
-Is this an otaku game special today? Is this possibly Twitch TV, did I enter the wrong place?
-Today’s chat window is dizzying. It’s my first time seeing this game, but just looking at it, isn’t the developer Japanese? It totally feels like an otaku game
“I didn’t have time, so I only watched up to episode 3 of season 1.”
-Hey! Go watch up to season 2 and come back!
-Just up to season 2? I watched up to Uma Yon!
-No, how can you approach such a masterpiece with perfect real-life verification so lightly?
[Suzuka’sRun has been chat banned for 1 minute.]
“I’ll start now. Managers, please handle chat bans or kick-outs for game spoilers or disruptive chats as you see fit.”
I’m a BJ.
The start was by chance, but it’s different now.
The many viewers gathered to watch me.
I wanted to give them joy, not make them feel regret for wasting time.
So I’ll do my best even if it’s a cringe-inducing otaku game.
“Then let’s start!”
The game starts and a quite bright and cheerful background music plays.
The location is a stadium full of lush grass.
Numerous girls were running fiercely.
But… but… you can see ears sticking up on the girls’ heads and tails below their waists.
-ㅋ So this is why it’s called a horse daughter game. Japan is legendary as expected. Now they’ve even turned horses into beautiful girls?
-Hey! It’s disappointing to compare horse daughters to mere beautiful girl games. Do you know how accurately this racing game verifies reality? It’s a passionate sports series!
-Yeah, next ㄴㄷㅆ!
The girls’ ranking competition was as fierce as the viewers’ arguments.
And suddenly the screen changes.
A large performance stage is set up, and the girls who were just racing start singing and dancing on it.
-What am I watching right now? What am I watching right now? What am I watching right now?
-Ugh! My resistance can’t handle this!
-ㄴㄷㅆ! ㄴㄷㅆ! ㄴㄷㅆ!
-I saw when Rap Coon did an advertising broadcast for this game, but I still don’t understand. No, what’s the connection between racing and concert performances?
“Uh, I think I can explain that part. In the game, there’s something called Winning Live where the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place horses perform, and apparently there’s a similar process in real horse racing. The first-place horse does a ceremony called a Winning Run after the race, and they reflected that in the game.”
-ㅋ I like the host who’s serious about otaku games.
-Hani-nim smells like one of us!
-What’s the host’s favorite anime? Healing, yandere, depressing, loli…
[AimasIsBest has been chat banned for 1 minute.]
“I’m sorry, but I’m a King’s Raid fan. Please don’t push me in that direction.”
-What do you mean by ‘that direction’? Are you discriminating against people now?!
-Good answer. This is a game those people like, and the advertiser might be watching
“Ah…”
Is this what they call being caught between a rock and a hard place?
In the end, I chose money over conscience.
“I-I like these kinds of games.”
-ㅋ Kneel before capitalism!
-Yeah, that’s how everyone starts. I’ll recommend some essential masterpieces like Evangelion and Gantz, so write them down.
“Then I’ll really start the game now.”
After finishing the latest patch, I start the game right away.
The starting background is Tracen Academy, an educational institution for raising the best horse daughters.
The goal is to become a trainer here, raise the chosen horse daughter, participate in competitions, and finally win the URA Finals.
You can choose to raise, go out, rest, etc. for each turn, and through the 6 support cards set before starting the game, you can experience various growth directions and raising events.
-But what’s the inheritance system? It says you receive genes, what part of reality is this verifying?
-ㅋ The person above asking while pretending not to know everything is really malicious.
-Just say it’s ㄹㅇ.
It’s difficult to answer.
But I’m a professional.
Let’s have a professional conscience.
I grit my teeth and mutter quietly.
“In reality, it’s like cr… breeding to improve the breed, in the game you inherit superior genes from other horses.”
-ㅓㅜㅑ!
-What did I just hear? What did I just hear? What did I just hear?
-Cr… I’m too embarrassed to say the rest of the word
Ignoring the annoying malicious ones, I move to the shop to draw support cards.
From what I learned in advance, they provide a ticket to draw a desired 3-star racehorse.
So it’s the national rule to use the initial starting resources to roll for support card gacha.
I confirmed that you need to get at least 2 cards considered Tier 1 to ‘take off’, meaning to properly start the game.
Well… this wouldn’t matter to whales.
“Since support cards are important, I’ll draw them first.”
My account had enough resources provided by the game company.
In cash terms, it’s about the level of spending 500,000 won.
Adding that to the resources you can get when first starting, I feel reassured.
-Ooh, let’s try to draw Naver Noona and Kitasan Black!
-No no, look at the host? Of course you should go for Super Creek who looks similar!
-Super Creek ㅋ It’s a secret where they look alike!
“I think Naver Noona got that nickname because of her outfit. But Super Creek…”
Since I don’t know the character, I searched.
Then an image of a character with quite large breasts appears on the screen.
-ㅋ They look completely alike.
-This is ㅇㅈ. If you refute, you’re a traitor, Lee Wan-yong!
-My heart swells at the meeting of Super Creek and Hani.
“……”
Ignoring the viewers’ reactions, I found a tier list for horse daughter supporters through continued searching.
“Hmm, Naver Noona, Super Creek, and Kitasan Black are way above the rest. Then Tokai Teio and Vodka are next.”
-ㅋ Is Vodka really a horse’s name?
-That horse’s father’s name is Tanino Gimlet, which is a cocktail. They named it after a stronger alcohol meaning to become a horse surpassing the father ㅋ
-For real, to have your name be alcohol as soon as you’re born! What a level.
“Then I’ll draw. They say there’s a rainbow effect when the highest SSR grade card appears.”
-The host’s first game gacha… this is precious.
-Is it finally time to test the rookie’s luck? With that many jewels, you should be able to start with all 3 divine horses.
-No no, you never know. One might keep coming out repeatedly
Jewels are the currency used for drawing in the horse daughter game.
It costs 1500 jewels per draw, and I currently have about 44,000, so it’s enough for 29 draws.
“Phew, here I go!”
I press the button after confirming that one SR grade is guaranteed to come out.
Then the screen changes.
It’s a simple desk.
A pile of books is neatly arranged in the upper right, and in the center is a large black book that anyone can see is the key.
There were 10 bookmarks inserted above that book, which were the predicted grades of the support cards to be previewed.
9 white and 1 gold.
White is the lowest grade R, and gold is SR which can be considered middle.
SSR is the highest grade and is rainbow, but in the current situation, I couldn’t find it no matter how hard I looked.
“They say the grades can change in the middle. Everyone don’t let your guard down and follow along.”
-ㅋ Even so, no SSR will come out!
-So is this the second gambling content after stocks? Blow through all that and go straight to real money ㄱㄱ?
-It’s honestly greedy to hope for it to come out at once. Let’s open them slowly.
I turn the pages of the cards marked as R grade one by one.
“Even though they’re R grade, the illustrations are good. The characters are cute and the outfits and backgrounds are quite high quality.”
-That’s the basics if you want to suck money out of gamers these days ㅋ
-Ow, I hit the ceiling yesterday and I think I’m getting PTSD.
-Are there idiots who pour money into beautiful girl gacha games?
“Now, it’s the moment to check my first SR card. Let’s see.”
The gold bookmark in 4th place.
But just as I was about to turn from 3rd to 4th, the page suddenly stopped, then as the screen zoomed in on the bookmark, the shimmering gold changed to rainbow with a splendid effect.
“Huh, what?”
-What did I just see? What did I just see? What did I just see?
-ㅋ Is the probability manipulated from the start for the game advertising broadcast?
-Is this for real?
Regardless of the viewers’ cries, the page that turned rainbow shone brilliantly and soon revealed its identity.
“Na-Naver Noona!”
-ㅋ Noona? She’s an unni. Wow… but this is ridiculous from the start. Drawing Naver Noona in one go.
-Crazy ㅋ Drawing one of the three divine horses in one shot?
-Don’t you know the first pull is always the best? This is the end. You used up all your luck in one go. ㅇㄱㄹㅇ!
Viewers expressing anger at relative deprivation while jeering.
Watching those fiery reactions, I thought.
Is this what they call ‘deception’?
This… might be more fun than I thought.
