The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Chapter 160 - New Wine in New Bottles



Chapter 160 New Wine in New Bottles

Morning came on the day of the move.

Although Jin-hyuk and I broadcasted until 1 AM the previous night, we woke up at 7 AM.

Contrary to expectations, the first to arrive were the employees from Phoenix.

They had come early to transport the capsules.

They safely packaged the two capsules and quickly got our payment.

“If you sign here, we will arrive at the destination ahead of time to have the capsules ready.”

“The capsules are to be placed at the location I explained last time, right? Over there…”

“We can wait as long as you want. You can also let us know after the entire moving process is complete.”

“Ha ha, is that alright?”

“Of course. Streamer Shia is our next promotional model, so such service is only natural.”

Moving into this house, I had to scrape together money from here and there.

Once the move was over, I might really have to live like a slave.

Still, thanks to the advertising contract, Phoenix had sent their employees, and the service was excellent.

Following the Phoenix employees, the moving company staff arrived promptly.

The first thing the moving company employees said upon arriving at our house was this:

“There’s very little stuff here.”

“Is it because two bachelors live here?”

“Can we just throw everything out?”

The amount of stuff was astonishingly minimal.

There was so little that it seemed unnecessary to even call a moving company.

But in the end, we hired the moving company for convenience, and the expressions on the staff’s faces seemed much better.

Pointing to the pile of envelopes in a corner, I said,

“There’s a lot of old furniture we used to use.”

Furniture that was too worn out to bring to the new house.

They were pieces we had used for a long time and were attached to, but we had already arranged for new furniture to be waiting at the new house.

With the help of the moving company staff, we planned to finish the arrangement.

Initially, we had planned to select a few viewers to help with the move as content, but it was scrapped due to Sung-jae’s objection.

He said there was a high possibility of privacy invasion, and I agreed.

Once the new house was revealed, who knew what crazy people might get involved.

Luckily, the security of the new house was strict.

It was known for having the best security in the area.

That’s partly why we chose to buy that house.

Anyway.

Thus began the move, and Jin-hyuk and I slowly watched as our belongings were carried out.

The only things worth keeping from our old house were the bookshelves and our clothes.

The moving company staff meticulously packed everything.

Moreover, the staff sent by ChickenBox carefully packed Jin-hyuk’s and my personal computers that were set up in our house.

I had only asked for staff to help with filming, but ChickenBox had sent people early in the morning to assist with the move.

I called out to a familiar staff member among them.

“Um, Assistant Manager Koo?”

Assistant Manager Koo Ja-yoon from the accounting team.

She was supposed to be handling accounting at the office, but she smiled and nodded at my words.

“Yes?”

“The accounting work…”

“Ha ha! Don’t worry. We had a draw among the staff to decide who would come here. Someone else is taking care of my duties.”

…A draw?

“Did the loser come here?”

“No. Only the winners of rock-paper-scissors came here. As you know… the company is like hell.”

The workload at ChickenBox was indeed hellish.

With a boss like Sung-jae, it was certain they had been working without rest.

“Where are you going after the move?”

“Housewarming party!”

“Oh, do you have a housewarming party at another place?”

“Huh? Of course, we’re planning to have the housewarming at Chan-sik’s house. We even brought tissues in advance.”

I didn’t know where the rule for having a housewarming party on the moving day came from.

Listening to Assistant Manager Koo, I chuckled and nodded.

Since we planned to broadcast right after finishing the unpacking, it would be convenient to have the housewarming then.

While I was looking at the gradually emptying house with mixed feelings.

Ding dong.

The elevator stopped on my floor, and new guests appeared from it.

“When pants greet you? Bottoms.”

“Brother, your jokes are too lame this morning. Are you planning to retire from broadcasting?”

“Chan-sik, we’re here.”

“Hey there!”

Dong-su and the members of our crew suddenly showed up.

For them, it seemed like it was time to be sleeping.

Why did they come without even informing me early in the morning?

“What’s up, everyone? Isn’t it time to sleep?”

To my words, Oh Wang, and Byung-moon hyung replied cheerfully.

“Man, we’re not strangers! We should be together on such a joyous day.”

“Right.”

“We didn’t come specifically to help you. We came because Dong-su hyung asked us to join.”

By the way, the one who spoke tsundere-like at the end was Heo Soo.

That guy might have been consumed by his persona a long time ago.

Still, I was thankful that they came despite probably being tired.

But I knew their true intentions.

“To get something to eat later…”

“Chinese black bean noodles for lunch, meat for dinner. Isn’t that the moving day rule?”

“We came to be treated to a full course.”

“We’ll help with the moving, you know?”

The moving company employees would handle the moving, and there wasn’t much stuff anyway.

It was a situation where they wouldn’t have to do much work.

They must have known that, which was why they came so confidently.

I looked at them for a moment and then smiled widely.

At least, we could have a grand collaborative broadcast right after the move.

It’s a good day, so it’s always nice to be with good people.

Now that the packing seemed almost done, should we head out?

To our new house.

2.

The new house we were moving to was about 30 minutes away if we drove diligently from our old place.

Since it was located almost at the edge of Gwangmyeong, it naturally took some time.

Riding in Dong-su hyung’s car, we drove diligently and arrived at the new house. As soon as I got out of the car, I activated the filming drones.

Then I happily started the broadcast.

Since I had promised the viewers yesterday, skipping the broadcast would be crossing the line.

As soon as I turned on the broadcast, viewers started flooding in.

– You turned it on early as promised.

– Shah!

– How’s the move going? Is it almost done?

– Show us the new house quickly.

‘Heeheehee’ donated 10,000 won.

[No, seriously, what color are your panties today? I’ll spam the chat with alt accounts until you answer ㅅㄱ]

The pervert who kept asking about the color of my underwear since yesterday.

Normally, I would ignore such comments, but since he donated 10,000 won, I decided to respond lightly.

“White with black.”

– Zebra pattern ㅗㅜㅑ…

– Zebra…?

– I’m buying it right now! I’ll leave my phone number in the message.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Why do perverts never change from the morning?

– Viewers don’t sleep.
– This stream is full of crazies even in the morning, lol. I feel like I’m going insane.

“Hey! The guy who said he feels like he’s going insane. If you feel that way, imagine how hard it is for me, the one directly involved!”

It always made me grind my teeth.

If I ended up needing implants much earlier than others, it would be entirely due to those damned viewers.

Sometimes, it felt like I was losing my humanity, but there was no other choice.

The viewers had turned out this way largely because of me.

“Wow, but don’t you guys ever get tired? Hey, stop bothering my little brother already, you damn… jerks!”

– Kan-hahaha
– Twipod’s old man is on
– Why are you there, bro?
– Bro! Young people are hanging out there, don’t be embarrassing!
– Disgusting, but… still love you, Kan!

It wasn’t common for Dong-su hyung to appear on camera in the morning.

So the viewers were mostly surprised and greeted him enthusiastically.

And then.

‘GukppongMissionMan’ donated 100,000 won!

[Hey, go upstairs quickly, haha. I prepared a moving gift for you.]

Sung-soo hyung made a shocking donation.

That guy always donated a minimum of 100,000 won each time.

I guess this was what it meant to be a big corporation class.

I estimated that Sung-soo hyung accounted for almost half of my Twipod income.

Besides, thanks to the SD Corporation advertising contract, I was making a lot of money, so I couldn’t help but call him “Shining Sung-soo.”

“Ah, Chairman! I’ll go up right away and check the gift.”

I had no idea what kind of gift it might be.

After bowing towards the chat again, I walked into the apartment entrance with the group.

The new apartment was different from the entrance.

Was it two years since it was completed?

It was far superior to the old apartment, which was over 15 years old.

“Wow!”

“You’ve made it, you’ve really made it.”

“It feels good, doesn’t it?”

The crew members and Dong-su hyung nodded in satisfaction as they looked around the entrance.

I proudly said to them,

“There are two elevators.”

“…Huh?”

“There are two elevators.”

“…Oh.”

I never imagined I would live in an apartment with two elevators.

Phew.

Calm down.

Even though I had visited several times before moving in, the actual moving day made me feel great.

Amidst the proper excitement, we reached the 16th floor and entered the new house where the move was in progress.

“Wow!”

“This house is really nice.”

– Wow lol
– I want to buy a house too, lol
– The house looks great
– I remember the house prices in that area were expensive lol. How much money did you make?
– You made this much money in less than a year of broadcasting?
– Crazy
– As expected… You’re amazing, hyung.

The viewers also began to get excited.

I looked at the chat and sighed deeply.

I couldn’t bring myself to say something uncool like “half of it is on loan.”

It wouldn’t be cool.

Anyway, where was the gift that Sung-soo hyung mentioned…?

“Hyung.”

It was then.

Jin-hyuk called me in a slightly trembling voice.

“What?”

“Did we buy a new TV?”

“…No?”

“But there’s a TV over there… could it be an option?”

Why would an apartment have an option like that, you crazy guy?

But just as Jin-hyuk said, there was an inexplicable TV in the living room.

Could it be that this was the gift Sung-soo hyung had prepared?

‘GukppongMissionMan’ donated 100,000 won!

[Sorry, I can’t attend the housewarming because I’m on a business trip, haha. Instead, I gave you a new TV from our latest release. Congratulations on the move ^^b]

– ??????
– ???
– GukppongMissionMan is really a rich guy?
– ?????
– That looks like a Seongdo TV???
– Seongdo Group’s third-generation heir

It was the latest high-end TV that hadn’t even hit the market yet.

Actually, we didn’t watch much TV at home, so it wasn’t a very important appliance for us.

But a TV is still a TV.

It was always a symbolic appliance for moving.

Besides, the TV we used in the previous house was much too small for the new house.

“Chairmaaaaan!”

As soon as I saw the TV, I bowed deeply towards the filming drone.

I decided I should sign a lifelong contract with SD Corporation.

Of course, I would need to receive a generous amount of money.

So the move seemed to be progressing satisfactorily from the start.

But 20 minutes later.

Crash!

“I’m innocent.”

“I’m innocent too.”

“The culprit is among us…”

A completely unexpected incident occurred.
