Episode 23.
A thought that suddenly occurred to me.
But it wasn’t bad.
No, it was a really good idea.
That would be the case, as the amount of money Siwoo needed was in the hundreds of millions.
The revenue that had to be generated continuously was in the hundreds of millions, and it was not something that could be achieved in one or two times.
As of now, there were only two ways for Siwoo to make that kind of profit.
Or accept Han Chae-rin’s offer.
Or monetize your videos on YouTube.
But Han Chae-rin’s offer has already been rejected.
So YouTube was pretty much the only way.
“It’s not easy, but….”
Of course, it was never easy.
If that were the case, everyone, including dogs and cows, would have had an annual salary in the hundreds of millions.
Even though YouTube is a platform where anyone can create videos, making millions of dollars is not something that anyone can do.
At least 1 million subscribers.
In terms of hunter rank, it’s A-class.
It was a distant memory for Siwoo, who had just started raiding an E-rank dungeon.
“It’s not impossible.”
But I didn’t think it was impossible.
Because Siwoo wasn’t the Siwoo of before.
Above all, I was able to do things simultaneously.
While farming for equipment crafting materials, I also film videos and upload them to my channel.
It’s literally killing two birds with one stone.
Eat both pheasant and eggs.
The deliberation was long, but the decision was quick.
“Let me run my own YouTube channel.”
Siwoo held up his smartphone.
* * *
Now that I’ve decided to start a YouTube channel.
There were some decisions to be made before creating a channel.
“What concept should I take for the channel?”
What concept will you be leading the channel with?
Naturally, I was thinking of going into the hunter field.
However, I had to think a little bit about what concept to shoot the video with.
Even channels in the hunter field were not all the same hunter channels.
While there are channels for raiding high level monsters.
A channel that analyzes monsters one by one, like a no-conquest channel.
A channel with the concept of an experimental man who asks questions like, “What would happen if you sprinkle red pepper powder on a monster?”
Lecture channels that teach the qualities and skills required to become a hunter, etc.
Even within the same hunter field, there were channels with various concepts.
Who grabs people’s attention more?
Who attracts more people’s attention?
The concept of the channel was soon to be views, and it was also related to revenue.
“hmm….”
That’s why the channel’s concept was something that had to be carefully considered.
Siwoo thought about it very carefully and was finally able to make a decision.
“Let’s go with the strategy concept.”
Let’s go with the concept you are most confident in.
The knowledge that Siwoo has acquired through his struggles.
Now, we also have Insight (S+).
As of now, it was correct to say that there was no monster that Siwoo could not conquer.
Even monsters that claim to have no strategy can find strategies to defeat.
“The channel name is….”
A moment of thought.
“A man who conquers everything in the world. Abbreviated as Se-gong-nam.”
Siwoo was able to quickly come up with a channel name.
You could say it was a trivial name, but it wasn’t something to worry about.
The channel name wasn’t that important.
There were very few viewers who came in after seeing the channel’s name.
What’s important is the title of the video.
The title is the biggest factor in making people click on the video.
A commonly used aggro title.
In most cases, people were drawn to it and clicked on the video.
Or you can just get sucked in by the ridiculous thumbnails.
These two cases were all there was to the influx.
Did the video that came in so suddenly give you enough fun and satisfaction?
Depending on that, viewers will decide whether to subscribe or not.
The channel name was literally just what the channel was called.
“Okay. Let’s do it this way.”
Siwoo immediately created a channel called ‘Segongnam’.
Creating a channel wasn’t that difficult.
Since YouTube is a platform where anyone can freely upload or watch videos, all you had to do was create an ID.
Now we’ve decided on the video concept.
I think I created a channel too.
There is only one thing left.
“Shall we go and shoot some video right away?”
Siwoo headed straight to the Hunter Management Bureau.
* * *
A wet swamp landscape.
Siwoo installed the camera in a suitable location and checked whether it was working.
And is it definitely worth the price?
“It works well.”
Siwoo nodded with satisfaction.
And this camera wasn’t bought with Siwoo’s money.
That would be the case, since this was the camera used in the previous joint shooting with Han Chae-rin.
In short, it was a camera bought with Kang Do-cheol’s money.
However, Kang Do-cheol ran away in front of the boss, the black troll.
And is there a point where you prick yourself?
He has not been seen since he disappeared.
“You seem to know that you’re a loser.”
So, naturally, this camera was in Siwoo’s hands.
As expected, Siwoo’s words just now were recorded well by the expensive camera.
But it didn’t matter.
Anyway, I was going to cut it out by editing it.
Live broadcasting, or streaming, was not possible inside the dungeon.
Because the moment I passed through the dungeon gate, the internet was cut off.
By the same token, communication was also impossible inside the dungeon.
But it wasn’t that the electronic device itself wasn’t working.
It’s just that I’ve been disconnected from the internet and the telecommunications network.
The electronic devices functioned normally.
So it was quite possible to film inside the dungeon.
“Phew… .”
Siwoo calmly took a deep breath.
The dungeon with the swamp landscape here was a dungeon where the E+ grade monster, Hamadon, appeared.
And the English name for Hippopotamus is Hippopatas.
As the name suggests, it was a monster belonging to the hippopotamus family.
After much thought, Siwoo chose this hippopotamus as the strategy monster for the first video.
The reason was simple.
“It’s hard to get views with an ordinary strategy video.”
Because I shouldn’t have pursued mediocrity.
In the midst of ordinariness, Siu’s unique characteristics had to be embedded.
However, the monsters that Siwoo could currently attack were around E-grade.
Honestly, no one sees it.
No one was watching such trivial videos.
If you look around even a little, you’ll find plenty of videos of people fighting A-class monsters, and even S-class monsters.
What do you mean, I watch E-rank monster strategy videos for fun?
Hunters can find it.
But that was all.
And the number of hunters was not that many.
Awakening is a rare phenomenon, and therefore there are few awakeners.
Among them, there were only a very small number of people called hunters.
“There is a limit to the number of views.”
In a word, it could be said that the pie was small.
If you target the hunters with a detailed strategy, you can go up to a certain level.
But that’s the limit.
Earning hundreds of millions of dollars is impossible.
So, we have to satisfy the general audience.
So I chose Hamadon.
I want to do a strategy that only Siwoo can do.
To satisfy the interest of general viewers and to produce more stimulating videos.
“Shall we go and see?”
Siwoo took a step towards the hamadryas seen in the distance.
* * *
A view of the subway filled with people leaving work.
People were looking at their smartphone screens with earphones plugged into their ears.
YouTube videos to relieve the boredom on your way home from work.
Although each person watched different videos, people were watching YouTube videos according to their interests and preferences.
‘Ah… It’s already over.’
And Eunje was one of those people.
My favorite channel was the one about hunters.
Even though I was an ordinary person and not an awakened person, I guess you could call it vicarious satisfaction.
Or should I say it is some kind of longing?
My heart raced every time I saw footage of hunters fighting monsters.
Honestly, it was more fun than most movies or animations.
They are virtual, but this is real.
Footage of real hunters risking their lives fighting.
Isn’t the tension different?
Eunje was a genuine YouTube viewer who loved Hunter videos.
‘There’s nothing to see… .’
That’s why Eunje could say that she had seen almost all of the Hunter videos.
Commute time and break time.
The YouTube videos I watch during lunch time are like a side dish for lunch.
Above all, I watch YouTube videos at home after work while drinking a can of beer.
That’s what it is in this boring life.
It was Eunjeman’s greatest happiness.
Whenever I had spare time, I looked at YouTube videos and ended up watching almost all of them.
‘Is there anything more to see?’
Eunje searched through various channels like a person starving for videos.
So lower and lower. Lower and lower.
I got to look deep into the ocean.
And a channel that was locked in the deep sea.
『
‘A craftsman?’
Does that mean a man who does crafts?
It was my first time seeing this channel.
And look… .
[1 channel video]
[Video upload time 1 hour ago]
It seemed like a newly created channel.
It didn’t look like it was made that long ago, it looked like it was made today.
‘Is this what the algorithm recommended?’
As I explored the deep sea, I guess I also recommended this Hako channel.
And the title of the video.
‘Isn’t Hippocampus a horse?’
I was a little curious.
The thumbnail depicted a hippopotamus monster.
The title was intriguing, but the thumbnail wasn’t particularly special.
But whatever.
A car that I had nothing to see at the time.
‘Let’s take a look.’
Eunwoo clicked on the video selected by the algorithm.
Hold on.
The scenery that appeared as the video played was a swamp.
And in that swamp, there were several hippopotamuses lying in wait.
It was a truly threatening sight, but Eunje didn’t feel that way at all.
First of all, it was a video, and the monsters in the videos Eun-je had seen so far were much more stimulating.
Monsters that are at least Class A.
Since I was used to such videos, the E+ rating didn’t really stimulate me.
[The monster you see now is called Hippopotamus in Korea. It is called Hippopotamus in other countries. And as you can see, it is a monster that looks like a hippopotamus.]
A man’s voice flowed into the video.
A man with a fierce appearance walked in front of the screen.
That guy seems to be the owner of this Se-gong-nam channel.
[But the hippopotamus is not actually a horse.]
[Did you know?]
The man in the video continued speaking, raising his index finger.
[Although the word hippopotamus is used in the word horse, the hippopotamus is not actually an animal belonging to the horse family.]
‘Was the hippopotamus’s horse a horse?’
no way.
Eunje paused the video for a moment and searched the Internet.
And the results were confirmed.
‘Really?’
It really was a horse.
Horses in the river.
If we interpret the Chinese characters literally, hippopotamus (河馬) means a horse that lives in rivers.
‘Oh… I just found out.’
I was a little more interested in the new knowledge.
Eunje replayed the stopped video.
Hold on.
[A hippopotamus is actually not a horse, but an animal belonging to the bovine family.]
‘okay?’
This time I didn’t search the Internet.
Because we saw the facts from before, we could see that that was also based on facts.
And then the animal called hippopotamus came to mind.
Certainly more than words… .
‘It does look like a cow.’
[To be exact, this falls under the title, but if I go into detail, it will give me a headache, so I will stop here.]
[Anyway, it’s not a horse, it’s a cow!]
[They say even scholars don’t know why it was named Hama.]
I see
Eunwoo nodded and continued watching the video.
[The first method to conquer Hamadon!]
‘That’s… a red cloth?’
[It’s exciting with a red cloth!]
Then the man in the video said with a snicker.
[In fact, cows do not get excited by the color red.]
[But so what.]
[The important thing is that you are excited.]
Soon the man waved a red cloth toward Hamadon.
Then, woooooooooo─!!
Several hippos in the swamp began to get extremely excited.
At the same time, kukukung!!
He raised his heavy body and started to rush towards the man in the video.
‘Isn’t that… dangerous?’
E+ grade monsters are monsters.
It couldn’t be helped.
But the man in the video looked relaxed.
[Here’s the second Hamadon strategy I’m talking about!]
“crazy!”
Eun-je shouted without realizing it.
At that sound, everyone in the subway looked at Eun-je.
But Eun-je didn’t have time to care.
That would be the case with the man in the video.
[You just have to hit the hippopotamus that gets excited like a cow!]
Because that guy was running towards Hamadon!
Even if you are an awakened person, you cannot ignore the power of monsters.
Hippopotamus and human.
Isn’t it obvious who will win?
That’s why hunters don’t confront monsters head-on with force.
Even those with personalities that are related to strength try to avoid direct confrontation with monsters.
But the man did not stop.
What the hell is stopping?
[Woooooooooo!!]
Woooooooooooooooo─!!
The man rushed at me, roaring like a hippopotamus!
Who is the Hamadon and who is human?
Soon the man and the hamadryas clashed.
And then kkaaa …
“…… huh?”
An explosion occurred?
The screen appears again.
There was a hamadryam bursting out there.
It literally exploded.
[How is it? The strategy for Hamadon. It’s easy, right?]
“……”
Eun-je was at a loss for words.
Catching a hippopotamus with bare hands.
It wasn’t just a matter of beating it up, it was a complete blast.
Um, is that even possible…?
No, are you saying that you posted something like this as a strategy guide?
Even the video didn’t end there.
The remaining hamadoons.
So, a few hippos excited by the red cloth.
[Rice noodles in a pot!]
Kwaaaaang─!!
[Buckwheat noodles in a pot!]
Kwaaaaang─!!
[Makguksu in a pot!]
Kwaaaaang─!!
Isn’t that guy absolutely crazy!
Even though YouTubers are said to be spectators.
They say there’s nothing they can’t do for video and views.
Kwaaaaang─!! Kwaaaaang─!!
Kwaaaa …
Isn’t this guy really crazy!
The explosions in the video continued to erupt.
Every time that happened, Hamadon would burst out too.
All the hippopotamuses exploded in such a short period of time.
The man gives a thumbs up among the bursting hippos.
[If you enjoyed the video, please like and subscribe! Please also turn on notifications!]
That’s how the video ended.
“……”
What on earth did I see?
It was like looking into the abyss of the demon realm.
But why is that?
Hold on.
Eunje was pressing the subscribe button as if possessed.
* * *
『
[Video views] – 3,400 times.
[Number of subscribers to Se-gong-nam Channel] – 211 people.
The results were achieved in less than a day.
It’s hard to believe that this channel was created today with so many views and subscribers.
└
└: What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Is that possible with bare handsㅋㅋㅋ It’s so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└
The comments section was also almost exploding.
“Yes!”
Siwoo’s concept was very effective.
