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

At the start of Wicker Town, the average viewer count for Parallel and Lapits' second-generation talents was pretty similar.

Both started around 4,000 to 5,000 viewers, reaching about 7,000 thanks to the special status of being starting members. They thought the server would progress with friendly competition between them.

However, after a day and then two, the gap between the two grew noticeably.

The reason for that was Magia.
On the first day, while everyone was busy leveling up, Magia tossed out money and created a legendary moment for the server. On the second day, after revealing her hidden job, she effortlessly promoted in front of a crowd of viewers, drawing them in as though it was nothing.

Even the Community Chat Room stream had quite a demand.
There was no better place for dopamine-seeking viewers who didn’t want to miss out on any of the server's events than Magia's stream.

Usually, people would have to leave their streams on or monitor the community to find where the action was happening, but for Parallel members, Magia would find everything herself and display it prominently in the main frame, cutting down on their efforts.@@novelbin@@

As days passed, Parallel's viewership skyrocketed.

However, Parallel’s success also became a concern for Lapits.
Naturally, the company was sensitive about viewer counts, and the members were constantly reminded to push harder to compete.

However, things got complicated when the special invitee, Iona, was delayed in joining the server due to an impromptu original song recording.
So, Serena and Merisha, who were new to the team, had been running around like headless chickens, managing the load themselves.

For the first few days, they tried swapping roles—one would work, the other would interact with the fans—but despite their best efforts, it wasn’t easy.

On day three, when the money-making strategies were starting to stabilize, big news spread throughout the server:
The Dungeon King Movgun and Skeleton Knight Magia had teamed up.

Even more shockingly, just before the server closed that day, Movgun’s stream revealed that Magia’s earnings from a day of dungeon hunting totaled 380,000 WK.

People who had been laughing at the "Skeleton Magia" nickname were stunned when they heard the number.

They were struggling to earn 150,000 WK, and Magia made 380,000?

Immediately, everyone had the same thought.
This server was already financially dominated by Magia and Movgun.
Instead of competing with interest, it seemed wiser to just ride their coattails.

By day four, other streamers who had been lurking began to approach Magia,
And once again, her average viewership increased.
