"…But here's the thing: there's sothing about this ad that none of you have noticed yet. Want to take a guess?"
LOL, why are we suddenly playing 20 questions?
This is so random, I love it.
Answer! Tail scale care kit!
Brother, do you not even notice what's different about ? I'm really disappointed in your lack of attention!
Please, these people are all single—they won’t get that reference!
As expected, the reactions were predictably confused. It was as if I’d suddenly asked a completely unrelated question. There wasn’t much point in explaining it, but in summary, the audience was collectively wondering, what in the world is she talking about?
And with an audience this large, they weren’t the type to stop guessing even if I said, “Never mind, you don’t have to figure it out.” It wasn’t just a few troublemakers; it was thousands of them. That’s the challenge.
Normally, I wouldn’t bother with this kind of thing, but since it was a sponsored stream, I figured giving so clues would make things more fun.
"Alright, how about this? If anyone guesses it correctly, I’ll send you a half-off discount code. I'll answer your questions like we're playing 20 questions."
I adjusted the floating drone cam to show a full-body view.
Because of the cara angle, it might have been hard to spot what I was referring to. The correct answer was my accessories—necklace, bracelet, earrings, and watch. Of course, the earrings were just part of my avatar; I wasn’t actually wearing any in real life.
In essence, they were virtual reality accessories—fancy costic items for avatars. You could think of them as advanced versions of NFTs, I suppose.
Even with the viewership surpassing 30,000, no one had guessed correctly. Normally, soone would have taken a wild guess by now, but apparently, I’d managed to stump them all.
I picked a random question from the chat.
"Yes, it’s part of the ad. In fact, the whole stream has been one big ad since I started."
Confused reactions continued to flood the chat.
On-screen, nothing seed unusual. Maybe because it was my first real-world stream, the lighting wasn’t cooperating as much as I’d like, making the accessories harder to notice. I turned on so additional lighting to help, but the viewers still seed puzzled.
"Technically, yes. Although certain designs suit different looks better. But in virtual reality, I think everyone can use them."
After all, in VR, most of the people I’ve t use female avatars, even if they’re n in real life. So, yeah, these sparkling, feminine accessories could totally work for them.
But idle chat alone wasn’t going to clue them in, so I moved around a bit, opening the front door to take out a pile of cardboard boxes to the hallway’s recycling bin. I carefully placed them in the collection area, along with the styrofoam from earlier.
Once I got back inside, I started opening a new box, this ti with non-perishable items. Again, I used the tomahawk to cut through the tape, repeating the sa process as before. Only this ti, I zood in more on my arms and ears.
It didn’t take long for soone to catch on.
You’re looking extra blingy today, professor, LOL!
"KimbapBapKimbap, correct! I’ve sent you a discount code via private ssage. Feel free to use it later."
At the sa ti, I added another ad overlay to the stream, this ti for Bulgari, the brand that had sent a snake-thed watch. I wondered if anyone would actually buy it, but with tens of thousands of people watching, who knows? Not my problem, really.
I glanced at the chat again.
"…Why is everyone freaking out all of a sudden?"
Who are we supposed to buy this for?!?!
Is this so roundabout way of saying we’re all single, LOL?
I guess we’re just supposed to admire it, right?
It is pretty, though.
Did you really think we’d buy this, professor???????
"…Well, it’s not like I don’t know that 90% of you use avatars of the opposite gender anyway. This would look great on your colorful female avatars, don’t you think?"
A quick glance at the chat.
Most of the ssages were filled with people joking about being hit by a harsh truth. But what could I do? It was the reality I’d co to accept while competing in KSM. Not a single male avatar in sight. That was sothing even I found hard to get used to.
Anyway, the ad had done its job. Ti to open the next box. The recycling bin bag was getting heavy with tape and receipts, but there was always room if you compressed it.
I carefully opened the box and pulled out the contents.
"…Oh."
IT’S TI FOR LONG PUFFER JACKET EUGENE!!!!!!!
Look at that thick padding, LOL!
One jacket and you’ll survive the apocalypse, haha.
Co on, just try it on for us, please!
That looks expensive AF.
It was a black long puffer coat.
Interestingly, it had snap buttons on the back to accommodate a tail. For an ordinary user, the lining would prevent wind from getting inside, so there wouldn’t be any problems.
I thought about explaining that, but I kept quiet. Revealing too much might hint at my identity.
Fortunately, most of the chat was focused on getting to try it on, without realizing the significance of the design. But I was already prepared to handle that scenario—in virtual reality, of course.
If I wore it in real life and soone asked, "How does a puffer jacket and a tail work together with motion capture?" things would get complicated.
I sat on the sofa, activated VR, and within seconds, my surroundings transford into a virtual backdrop. I picked up the coat, unsnapped the buttons, and carefully inserted my tail through.
I glanced at a bulky accessory rolling around on the floor next to the coat. It was long and thick enough to fit an arm, with snap buttons on the end, designed to attach to the coat… wait a minute.
Was this… a tail cover?
"…Huh, I didn’t notice this before."
I detached my tail from the coat and attached the cover, snapping it into place. The smooth fabric felt soft against my tail, making everything warr. I’d never have to worry about the cold again.
After showing that off, I spoke again.
"This seems to be a virtual reality add-on. Anyway, here’s the long puffer coat. I already have a white one from the sa brand, and since I have multiple coats at ho, I’ll be giving away the extras through a raffle."
OMG, is that a puffer coat for your tail?! That’s insane, LOL!
Virtual reality has co so far—this is amazing.
Who even thinks of stuff like this, hahaha!
Heuuung, heuuung, heuuung…
You can hear the editor grinning all the way from here, LOL.
Hmm.
Of course, when I said it was a VR add-on, that wasn’t entirely true. I’d seen the real-life tail cover when I opened the box earlier, but ntioning that could’ve revealed too much about . So, I pretended it was just for VR.
I planned to send the coat out in winter—by the ti my identity would be revealed.
Naturally, there was another reason, too.
"Sending it out now would just take up space, so I’ll be shipping the coats in winter when it’s actually cold. That’s the plan."
So you're going to send the one you wore, right? I’ll be waiting. #AnacondaTailScentLoyalty
"Hold up."
"Ow, no!"
BANG!
And just like that, the first casualty of today’s stream was made. I used the interview feature to publicly discipline viewers when necessary, sothing I’d ntioned in a past stream. Leaving behind the big-donation troll with a squashed avatar head, I tried to move on, but of course, that was impossible.
How is this even Korean? LOL.
What the hell is 'AnacondaTailScent' supposed to an?!
Oh, this is absolutely possible, totally!
I never expected such a cursed combination of words.
That userna is completely unhinged, LOL.
"Sigh."
What a collection of chaotic, deranged weirdos.
Anyway, back to reality. I gently repacked the puffer coat into the box. Well, as gently as I could after having ripped the top open. Close enough to the original state, though.
Another donation flashed on screen.
Can I line up for this too?
BOOM.
Without hesitation, I activated the interview feature again, yanking Dice into view. We locked eyes for a mont as she appeared before , kneeling while I stood over her. There was a brief exchange of emotions before everything exploded in the chat, which I barely noticed.
Pinch.
I grabbed her soft, squishy cheeks and pulled them apart with my fingers.
"Argh! What the heck is this?!"
"After treating you to a fancy al, you're saying weird things again."
After a thorough lesson in manners, Dice was released.
There were still plenty more boxes to go through.
"And here’s sothing made from actual anaconda leather—a wallet and a phone case. I don’t know how to describe it exactly, but it feels… unique. I’ll add the purchase link on the stream. Obviously, I didn’t make it myself."
LOL, I can’t believe you’re not the one making it.
I clicked the link, and wow—just, wow.
You missed a huge marketing opportunity, lol.
What is with these crazy people, LOL.
Is it weird that I kind of want one?
...What can I say? Just holding this thing feels burdenso.
And no, you're not getting my tail, okay? I glanced at my own tail out of instinct. Why do I even have this thing? I’ve gotten so used to it, but now my viewers are trying to skin it. I swear, if they keep this up, I’ll have to start mounting heads on stakes.
Like I said, I won’t be using this wallet. It’ll probably go to Dice or Harmony. Better than letting it collect dust in my house.
At least the wallet and phone case are practical.
Unlike so of the other random stuff I get.
"And next… ha. Do any of you need this? It’s reptile supplents and dicine. If you own a reptile, upload proof to my site, and I’ll send this to you."
Opening this box made feel dizzy.
By the way, if I get hurt, where would I even go? A regular hospital? And if my tail gets injured, do I take it to a vet? Back in the day, I just went to a field dic, and they’d fix up whatever was wrong, no questions asked.
It didn’t stop there, though.
“…The next item is wax. I assu it’s for my tail, but if anyone else needs it, I’ll send it to them.”
LOL, this product lineup is insane.
At this point, the ad is trolling us.
I feel like I’m going to pass out, haha.
I would gladly take the wax you used, professor! #Loyalty
Lining up for this one too!
I opened more boxes, stacking them neatly in a corner.
There was sothing I’d opened earlier that I wanted to give away.
It was a set of cat-eared headphones.
I knew exactly who I’d give these to.
"These are for Harmony."
Harmony, who uses a cat avatar, would love these. Plus, from what I’ve seen of her streams, she does a lot of real-life cooking streams. Unlike Dice, she could do a proper unboxing review on her platform.
I’ll take care of my people first.
Your expression looks scary. Are you thinking about smashing soone’s head?
"No, I was just thinking about what gifts to give my editors and others."
And in my hand, I felt a familiar weight.
Yeah.
I know exactly what to give first.
The drone cam zood in on the tactical tomahawk I was holding.
"I guess I could start by handing these out to the people around ."
Since when did tomahawks beco gifts for friends?????
Is this what we’re going to see on Harmony’s cooking stream now? LOL.
Your sense of gift-giving is seriously ssed up, haha.
Aren’t you just threatening your editors at this point?
'Here’s your present (but just rember who gave it to you).'
…And as usual, my well-intentioned gestures were being horribly misunderstood.
There were still over 30 boxes left to open.
