I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work

Pino’s donation had launched me into the air ten times, just like Maru. But surprisingly, I only suffered a single fall.

— Pino: Now that we got the special invite...
— Pino: I feel drained…

No matter how much money he made as a corporate-level rigger, even Pino had a limit to how much he could spend per month. After all, a human wasn’t a machine—there were only so many projects he could take on in a month.

Still, after donating 1.1 million won in total, including his contributions to Maru’s stream, he had more than earned everyone's respect.

— Respect, man…
— Time to rest, lol.
— Bro actually spent a fortune.
— Never liked him much, but I gotta admit, today he’s the MVP.

:: Anonymous has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Rest? Nah, now he has to take on extra gigs to make up for it. LOL. ::

— LMAO.
— You…
— It’s true tho.
— Sold his future for this…

Even I felt a little grateful toward Pino today.

Because of him, my own 10 million won was still untouched—I could use it for the CEO instead.

Of course, supporting Maru was the same as supporting the CEO, so technically, it didn’t matter where I spent it.

But spending money on my Oshi just felt so much better.

— Are we getting a reaction for the million-won donation?
— Gonna do it before stream ends?
— If I were Magia, I wouldn’t have anything prepared. LOL.
— Why is that actually true?

Nobody asked me to do this, but I figured I should at least acknowledge Pino’s efforts.

So I did it my way.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you for your donation, Pino~."

It was the driest song imaginable.

I had simply taken the Happy Birthday melody and repurposed it into a donation appreciation song.

"Thank you, thank you. 1 million won, thank you so much~."

— Wait, why does this sound familiar...?
— Is this the Happy Birthday song?!
— LMAO, what the hell.@@novelbin@@

But apparently, even that was enough to trigger someone into another massive donation.

• [SERVER] Magia has received 1,000,000 Clouds and has ASCENDED!

• Five stacks of diamonds.
• Eight stacks of rubies and sapphires (which sold for half the price of diamonds).
• So much iron and copper that she needed to compress them into ingots just to make space.
