Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast – 7

EP.7 They Can’t Be Stopped Easily (2)

“…What?”

Yuna frowned as she read the text message.

It wasn’t because she was upset; she was just a bit taken aback.

The message Parang had sent was quite intriguing.

In summary, it was a request for Yuna to promote Parang’s broadcast on her own show. It was an audacious request, the epitome of imposing.

But when you look at the details? It was very logical, clean, and left no room for rebuttal.

Are the deep-sea monster fish actually dangerous? Yes. Yuna had nearly died.

The best way to inform people? Show them directly and explain just how terrifying these creatures are.

Who is capable of doing that? Hunter Yu Parang is almost the only one.

What do people enjoy watching the most these days? Internet broadcasts.

Who can funnel viewers into Parang’s broadcast? Yuna.

This was Parang’s argument.

Every event and the resulting claims and evidence fit perfectly.

Moreover, it was a request from the person who had saved her life.

This was a request that Yuna couldn’t refuse.

And it was a broadcast where Parang would directly hunt and explain the mysterious deep-sea monsters.

Unless the broadcast was extremely poorly executed, it was bound to be a hit.

Parang had already demonstrated above-average hosting skills. She had managed to smoothly handle the broadcast without interacting with the chat, just by talking to herself.

“Hmm….”

Still, there were some concerns. She would need broadcasting equipment, and even if Yuna promoted it, the initial audience might be small.

Wait a minute.

“Am I really worrying about this? Me?”

Yuna muttered to herself.

Was she hesitating to help the person who had saved her life?

That was absolutely unacceptable. It wasn’t like Parang was asking her to hand over her entire broadcast, just to give a shoutout.

Yuna felt a bit of a blow to her pride. She couldn’t believe she was the kind of person who would hesitate over something like this. Yuna had always been strict about maintaining proper conduct, even if she had been a bit headstrong.

Yuna immediately picked up her phone and began typing furiously.

[ Hello, Hunter Yu Parang. I completely agree with the necessity of the broadcast you proposed. Therefore, in my upcoming broadcast, I will… ]

After finishing the message, Yuna paused, stroking her chin. Considering that she owed her life to Parang, just giving a shoutout (which was already more than a mere shoutout) felt insincere.

Simply giving a shoutout would be unworthy of Yuna’s name. She began composing a longer message.

What more could she do…

“Ah.”

[ Additionally, if you don’t mind, Hunter Yu Parang, I would like to support you with broadcasting equipment that I have personally crafted. The items I can provide include microphones, cameras… and if needed, the following items as well… ]

This was the least she could do to repay the favor. S-rank production hunter Shin Yuna pressed the send button with a satisfied expression.

It didn’t take long for a reply to come.

[ Thank you. That sounds perfect. ]

Thus, a secret pact was formed between an S-rank production hunter and the world’s strongest underwater hunter.

Yuna immediately sent emails to the production hunters she knew. Ten A-rank and three S-rank hunters, all close friends.

“Hello? Yes, it’s me. So, the thing is…”

If she was going to do this, she wanted to turn at least South Korea, if not the world, upside down.

After all, how often does one get to repay a life-saving debt?

And a week later, on July 10th, the following announcement was posted on the notice tab of Shin Yuna’s channel.

[ (7/10 Channel Notice) Event Announcement – A-rank Artifacts, Given by Shin Yuna! ]

[ Hello everyone, this is streaming hunter Shin Yuna. Following the incident during my previous diving content, I have collaborated with Hunter Yu Parang to…

…Therefore, on July 27th, those who watch Hunter Yu Parang’s broadcast from start to finish and provide proof will be entered into a drawing. Ten winners will receive A-rank artifacts personally crafted by me.

*You can choose the type of artifact.

*For more details, please contact [email protected]. ]

And the hunters of South Korea went wild.

[ Did you guys see Shin Yuna’s announcement? ]

She’s giving away A-rank artifacts? And she’s an S-rank crafter? Is this for real?

─No way, she’s giving away ten A-rank artifacts? Just for watching one broadcast?

─Who is this person?

ㄴShe is a S-class production hunter who broadcasts as Shin Yuna.

ㄴThe person who saved her from the accident .

ㄴWhat kind of accident was it?

ㄴShe almost sank while exploring the deep sea in a submarine.

ㄴ??What the hell?

ㄴWow, giving away A-rank artifacts, not just equipment, lol.

ㄴYou can choose the type” basically means custom-made, right? A chance to get a custom A-rank artifact from an S-rank crafter, lol.

The news spread like wildfire.

[ When you think about it, it’s really a gathering of madness ]

[ Author: Punpun ]

(Screenshot of the announcement on the channel, zoomed in on the A-rank artifact part.)

Someone saves the life of an S-rank crafter and says, “I’m going to broadcast, can you promote it?”

And the response is, “Sure, let’s give away some artifacts while we’re at it.”

Both of them are just insane, lol.

─Let’s give away some artifacts” <— This is the real madness, lol.

─Oh, because she saved her life, lol.

─Knowing Shin Yuna’s personality, she probably gave away an S-rank artifact behind the scenes too.

‘Maybe giving just one isn’t enough.’

Yuna thought as she browsed the community.

She had already spent a week with two S-rank crafters to create an S-rank artifact for Hunter Yu Parang.

Since it seemed like Parang used air harpoons a lot while hunting monster fish, they made a harpoon-shaped artifact.

Yuna had personally witnessed Parang’s monster fish hunting in preparation for the broadcast on July 27th.

And she was convinced.

‘This will work.’

Although mounting a camera on her forehead had the downside of making the perspective chaotic and hard to follow…

With 13 production hunters involved, they had managed to increase the number of cameras to capture footage from multiple angles and reconstruct it in real-time, making it look like an FPS game.

They applied the principle of how navigation systems combine footage from cameras installed around a vehicle to create a top-view video.

The quality of the final footage was astounding. It felt like playing a first-person game in real-time.

And then, it was July 27th.

Yuna, along with 13 production hunters and the broadcast team’s manager, gathered at the control tower (which was set up at Yuna’s house) in a tense silence.

[LIVE – (A-rank Artifact Event) Monster Fish Hunting Live]

Real-time viewers:

130,472

130,000.

130,000 people were watching Parang’s broadcast.

“Are they really giving away A-rank artifacts for watching this?”

People drawn in by the allure of A-rank artifacts.

“Monster fish? Are they hunting the ones we saw before?”

People intrigued by the keyword “monster fish hunting.”

“What’s this broadcast that has 130,000 viewers?”

People who naturally followed the crowd.

“The guild master’s orders! Increase the firepower!”

Shin Yuna’s dedicated followers.

All these groups combined made up the 130,000 viewers.

One-thousandth of South Korea’s population.

That many people flocked to Parang’s broadcast.

The super-server computer of Silo Corporation easily handled the load.

And the first thing the 130,000 viewers saw on Parang’s broadcast was a screen showing the sea from a dock.

In the center of the screen stood Parang, wearing a bodysuit that covered her from neck to toe, holding a harpoon one and a half times her height.

With the crown (which was actually a camera) on her head, she looked almost like a princess of an underwater kingdom.

There was even an air of dignity about her, like a warrior….

As everyone watched, Parang opened her mouth to speak.

“Hello, ahem!! Hello, no, greetings. Everyone. This is Hunter Yu Parang.”

“Huh?”

Everyone watching the broadcast had a question mark floating above their heads.

Parang felt like she had a bright red exclamation mark above hers.

‘Gasp…gasp…!!’

She felt like she was going to lose it from the nerves. Are 130,000 people really watching me right now? Is my face turning red? Did my voice just crack?

‘No, it’s good to have a lot of viewers, but 130,000?’

For Parang, who had never done a broadcast in her life, the overwhelming tension was too much.

Parang looked at the screen in front of her.

There she was, standing on the dock, with the chat scrolling at an incredible speed beside her.

130,000 viewers were generating this firepower. Even if fewer than 30,000 were actively chatting, that was still a significant number.

“We will indeed give A-rank artifacts to ten people. After the broadcast, a QR code will be displayed, linking you to the verification site. You just need to prove that you watched for more than two hours.”

She delivered her prepared lines in a trembling voice.

And then, she froze. For a full 30 seconds.

She stood there, motionless in front of the camera, unable to do anything.

Stuttering and showing clear signs of nervousness in front of 130,000 viewers.

It could be considered a major broadcasting blunder.

However, Yuna, watching from the control room, remained calm.

She had anticipated this and knew it would soon be resolved.

Through rehearsals, she had learned that Parang had severe stage fright, even when recording videos alone with no audience.

Yuna calmly checked the viewer count.

128,000.

Despite the critical mistake, viewers hadn’t left.

Why? Because of the artifacts.

The effort of offering such a substantial reward was paying off.

An A-rank artifact was worth competing for, even at odds of 130,000 to 10.

Especially when the challenge was merely to sit and watch a broadcast.

By now, probably 100,000 viewers had the broadcast on while doing something else.

The remaining 30,000 were likely growing increasingly disillusioned.

But it didn’t matter.

Parang’s stage fright was strictly limited to dry land.

Even if the 100,000 multitaskers didn’t care, she could still captivate the 30,000.

Securing 30,000 regular viewers on her first broadcast as a rookie streamer was laughable.

“If it gets too tough, just jump into the water and continue. It’ll be better that way.”

Recalling Yuna’s advice, Parang managed to pull herself together.

‘Yes. I’ll dive into the sea.’

That would definitely make her feel more at ease.

“Phew… I’ll explain the rest as I go down.”

Parang, still facing away from the dock, jumped backward and performed a backflip.

She entered the water fingertips first, creating no splash—a perfect dive.

The camera’s perspective then switched to her first-person view underwater.
