Another World Returner’s Game Streaming

122 – Destiny Over – Reaction (2)

“Manager? Why are you doing that?”

“I was rejected.”

“… Yes?”

“I just spoke to Geomju on the phone… I was rejected. “I heard the sword lord won’t accept our offer.”

The marketing leader of ‘Moonlight Company’ who was speaking like that had an expression on his face that was currently indescribable.

So, she was feeling the absurdity deep in her bones.

Because, she never imagined that Eugene would turn down her offer of conversion.

However, when she spoke on the phone just now, she did not remember being rude or saying anything rude towards Eugene.

On the other hand, she could assure that no matter where she looked at her proposal, there was nothing that was harmful to Eugene.

No matter how much I think about it, there is nothing that would make Eugene reject this proposal.

But Eugene rejected our proposal. Why?

As her marketing team leader was trying to wrap her head around this completely incomprehensible situation, her employee, who was quietly watching her, opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“First of all, let’s summarize the current situation. “If you look back on the situation in this way, you can figure out what Geomju’s current psychological state is.”

“… What is going on now?”

“Currently, it is no exaggeration to say that the Sword Lord’s popularity is higher than ever. Of course, it was great before then, but not as great as it is now.”

In the past, Eugene became a big issue due to her appearance in Nightfall’s DLC advertisement or her selection as the final entry for the national team.

Eugene is currently quite a celebrity, and Moonlight Company had no intention of denying that either.

However, until recently, her awareness of Eugene had not yet surpassed the level of being known only to those in the know.

There are countless people who appear in advertisements as game models, and it is routine for the national team to be renewed with a new face every four years.

If you’ve always known about Eugene, you may not know, but if someone you don’t know hears news like this, they’ll think to themselves, ‘That’s right,’ and completely forget everything a minute later.

In some ways, this may seem like an extremely cold response, but in modern society where rising stars are born every day, such a phenomenon could not help but be natural.

However, things were somewhat different now.

First of all, [Saengsaeng Rekka Tong], Which accused Eugene of using the play video as a hack, is a vicious wrecker channel that is recognized even on Mutube.

And since it was a malicious Rekka channel, people who were not particularly interested in virtual reality games also watched the video, and as a result, Eugene gained considerable awareness among the public overnight.

Also, this time, [Saengsaeng Rekkaton] Uploaded a video with a very deliberate intention, such as putting a mosaic on Eugene’s face, to turn him into a vicious hack user, and it ended up getting caught by people.

The vicious Rekka Chung was a hack user and targeted a streamer, but in fact, it wasn’t a hack.

No, beyond the point that it was simply not a hack, the viewers who watched the video also had such incredible skills that they mistakenly thought it was a hack.

The topic became even bigger after it was revealed that it wasn’t a hack than when a video showing a hack appearing in virtual reality was uploaded.

Thanks to this, the number of subscribers to Eugene’s MuTube, which had been showing signs of slowing down, quickly surpassed 1 million, and the number of views for the Nightfall-related videos he posted in the early days exceeded at least 2 million!＜ Br﹥

The reason why things are going this way is simple.

Just because it’s fun.

In fact, there was no such thing as a hack, but the story of a streamer who had such great skills that people suspected that he was a hack.

Isn’t this a situation that can’t be done unless people are interested?

As people’s awareness of Eugene has increased, the value of Eugene must also be adjusted upward compared to before.

“… So, is Geomju protesting against us now? “Not because you don’t like our proposal, but because you want to raise your price even higher than before?”

“I, or at least the planning office, is guessing that Geomju has such intentions.”

The marketing team leader narrowed his eyes at the employee’s answer without any hesitation.

“It seems like our sword lord was quite greedy. “I see that you say you’re not satisfied with just one advertisement.”

“Then what do you plan to do? Should we cut off contact with Geomju now and invite other streamers or celebrities?”

“There’s no way that’s possible. Rather, it’s the opposite. “We must recruit the sword lord at all costs.”

In fact, even before that, Eugene had been considered a kind of blue chip in the gaming industry.

This is because Powell Software made huge profits by featuring Eugene, who was almost unknown at the time, as a boss monster in the game or as an advertising model.

According to data obtained by the marketing team leader, after Eugene’s existence was highlighted, sales of Nightfall increased by more than 200% compared to before!

Even when he was a nearly unknown streamer, Eugene had a history of having a huge impact on Nightfall’s sales.

So, what significant impact will it have on the sales of ‘Destiny Over’ if Eugene, who is scheduled to participate as a national representative in this Olympics and has become a true influencer in name and reality after being embroiled in various issues, is brought in?

And how much of a price would have to be paid to convince Eugene, who knows very well that he has such value?

“Do I really need to pay more? It may be a bit burdensome, but how about doubling the down payment?”

The marketing leader shakes his head left and right at the employee’s words.

“Well. Now, I don’t think money will be of much interest to the sword lord. To put it bluntly, what if the owner of the sword asks us to triple the down payment instead of accepting our conditions? “Are you not Going to give it to me?”

“… There’s no way that could happen.”

“And why can’t other companies do what we can do? What if another company pretends to be crazy and offers to give Geomju ten times the down payment we offered? Should we offer to give eleven times the down payment?”

From the moment Eugene became irreplaceable in this industry, the option of seducing him with money was as good as gone.

In conclusion, this means that in order to attract him here, you have no choice but to use other means than money…

The marketing team leader, who seemed to be struggling as he looked through the materials containing various information related to Eugene, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the materials related to ‘Thousands’ once again.

“… Come to think of it, the sword lord had a unique skill called [Master of the Sword] In Thousands.”

“Ah, you mean that unique skill that has the ability to summon any sword he has ever handled?”

“And his unique skill is that he can summon any number of swords from other games, as long as he has used them once.”

“Yes. Because of that, the swordsman became a hot topic when he summoned Yuria from Nightfall in the world of ‘Thousands’. But what do you mean by that?”

“I think I’ve found a way to persuade the sword lord now.”

After saying that, she seemed to have decided on something and once again picked up her smartphone and called Eugene.

[… ] ] Yes, I received the call.]

Fortunately, Eugene did not chew up her phone and accepted the call.

Of course, even at this moment, he was making it clear that he didn’t want to talk to her on the phone.

“Swordlord, let me tell you straight. We at Moonlight Company hope to complete the contract with the Sword Lord at all costs. And I am willing to pay any price for that.”

[… ] ] I’m sorry, but my position that I don’t really want to sign a contract with them hasn’t changed yet. No matter how much money Moonlight Company offers, they will not be able to persuade me.]

Because, no matter how much money you get, if one more dark story is stuffed on the Internet, you could develop PTSD.

Eugene spoke in a cutting tone, but unfortunately, the card the marketing team leader prepared this time was nothing more than a down payment.

“… We know it too. The point is that you can’t persuade the sword lord with just a few pennies. Therefore, we would like to offer Geomju a proposal that no other company has made so far.”

[… ] ] An offer that no company has ever made? What is that?]

“Sword.”

The marketing team leader said this to Eugene in a quiet voice.

“On our side, we will make a sword just for the sword lord.”

[… ] ] Sword?]

At that moment, Eugene shows a puzzled reaction to something completely unexpected.

“Just as Powell Software did, we plan to release DLC for ‘Destiny Over’ soon. And in that DLC, we would like to add a sword just for the sword lord.”

[… ] ] Yes?]

“Even if it’s a sword with the ability to emit a beam, a sword with the ability to tear apart space, or a sword with the ability to cross dimensions and enter another world, it’s okay. If the sword lord says so, I will make any sword with any ability.”

[… ] ] Mmm. But signing a contract is a bit… ]

At that moment, the marketing team leader clearly heard Eugene muttering in a very perplexed voice.

It works.

This is clearly working.

Eugene, who just a moment ago showed that he did not want to sign a contract with them, is starting to waver!

And to drive a wedge into Eugene’s hesitation her, she whispered to him in a voice as sweet as the devil.

“Also… If you sign a contract now, I will put my ego into that sword. Like Yuria in Nightfall, the sword lord can obtain another sword with an ego.”

[…

And, there is no reply from Eugene.

Just at that time, the marketing team leader was feeling anxious, wondering if these conditions alone were not enough.

[… ] ] Humanization.]

“… Yes?”

[… ] ] If the sword also adds the ability to change into human form… I will think about it seriously… ]

It was too good a condition to just refuse.
