What happens when you donate ten million won to the server?
– Like a myth, the story of you and me♪
Instead of the background music directly produced by the management in the tutorial zone, original songs from RAPITS 1st and 2nd generation members are played alternately.

The phrase indicating that RAPITS sponsored the server is displayed blatantly on the way out.
The food, Wicker bread, that was scattered around the server transforms into RAPITS bread overnight.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere in the chat window has changed considerably.
[Global] [PaybackSoon] Roopco: Thank you for the bread, RAPITS everyone~
[Global] [ClangClang] Serena: Roopco, do you still have a lot of debt?
[Global] [PaybackSoon] Roopco: I’ll earn and pay it back~
[Global] [ClangClang] Serena: Oh dear… how pitiful.
[Global] [PaybackSoon] Roopco: By the way, Serena, do you have some money? I became credit delinquent, so SkullHunger doesn’t lend me money anymore.
[Global] Iona: Did you get hustled at some casino?
[Global] [PaybackSoon] Roopco: There’s this super vicious place called Enhancement Casino.
[Global] Iona: Wow, you really were a sucker.
It felt like the best kind of promotion you could buy with money?
Compared to the effort I put in-game without pay (though I do get a salary, so it’s not exactly unpaid), it was a really effective promotion with just a click.
From a company perspective, ten million won is actually a laughable amount.
But I didn’t feel particularly threatened.
It’s not like RAPITS’ songs are blaring throughout the entire village, and it’s not like the gap we’ve created will be immediately closed just because they spent ten million won.
However, the boss, perhaps because of his position as CEO, was thinking a bit differently.
“Tomorrow, I need to gather the head of the PR team and the head of the finance team and discuss whether we should donate the same amount.”
“Do you need ten million won? Should I break another savings account?”
“Hey. Your money is fine, don’t do it.”
“Actually, I don’t have any. I already donated it all to the boss.”
“What? When?!”
“Without the boss knowing~.”
Kkuuoooook.
A fist drill spews fire from above my crown.
“Kkieueueuk.”
In matters related to the company’s financial operations, I always take the position of an observer.
Ultimately, it’s the boss and the accounting director who decide the direction of the business.
I can throw in a word or two, but I can’t directly intervene.
And the boss’s idea isn’t to outspend RAPITS to suppress them, but just to match their donation.
It can be seen as meaning that since we’re a VTuber group enjoying the server together, we’ll carry the log together.
If this were company versus company, it would be natural given each other’s image…
But the fans didn’t seem to think so.
As soon as I turned on the broadcast, stories related to RAPITS poured out.
– Wow, but they’re paying back RAPITS’ kindness like this
– It’s not really RAPITS’ fault, though
— They’re getting pushed back on broadcast, so they’re immediately throwing money at it, lol
– Hey, Parallel also promoted aggressively
— Isn’t this just give and take between each other? ==
As soon as the broadcast started, I saw someone trying to start a flame war, so I gave them a warning first.
“Please refrain from speculative stories and comparisons about other streamers and groups. Everyone is just trying to promote their own group.”
– True
– No need to push it
– Both just did what they had to do oo
:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Cloudberries! ::
:: Just a reminder, everyone, this person is a mad dog who wiped out all the malicious users on Momo’s broadcast. If you mess with them, only you will get kicked out… ::
– Not a mad dog, lol
— Uh-oh, that’s a bit strong of a word
– Mad dog is too cute
– Well, those who got caught were banned one after another
– But are there still people who remember that time?
— I started watching 1st generation members after watching Momo’s broadcast, it’s nostalgic
There might be some genuinely angry people, but most of them are just trying to stir up trouble.
In the first place, the relationship between the members of both sides as seen on the actual broadcasts isn’t bad.
I communicate with Serena regularly,
[Whisper] [ClangClang] Serena: Jia, I acquired a weapon blueprint this time
[Whisper] [ClangClang] Serena: Please bring the materials and visit me
[Whisper] [ClangClang] Serena: I’ll make you the strongest weapon again this time
[Whisper] Me: Okay
Serena and Maru are known to be close friends, so they often wander around the village together, laughing and joking.
Maru happened to choose the chef job for her 2nd job change, and the food made by the chef often had options like ‘Equipment Quality Improvement Effect’, so they were inseparable.
So the next day, when the boss donated ten million won to the Wicker server and received some rewards, I thought this would end
smoothly.
“They agreed to exchange the Wicker Coins given for the donation for Parallel Coins. And they’re going to put up four large posters of our members in the plaza.”
The reason they didn’t decide to play our members’ songs separately seems to be because gacha coins are more valuable than bread, and we’ve already done an active promotion and even had a separate mini-concert.
Wicker is also a veteran streamer with considerable experience, so he found a suitable compromise.
Our boss wasn’t particularly dissatisfied either.
However, the next day, another change came to the village.
A giant tower built by the eight RAPITS members who bought land on one side of the users’ homesteads was completed.
Like a long billboard on a Gangnam building, posters of the four 2nd generation members were hung in four directions.
It was much more visible from a distance than the posters of our members erected in the plaza.
“… They spent another ten million won.”
“Wow.”
“Is this the time to be impressed?”
“No, but. They’re our seniors in the industry, after all. I don’t think it’s shameful to be pushed back in terms of capital.”
“We’re not being pushed back that much…? I can’t help it. Let’s do another ten million won.”
But people always pass through the plaza when they come to the village.
The exposure of the posters that RAPITS put up on the tower and the posters of our members in the plaza was similar.
“Wait, wait.”
More than anything, I roughly knew the reason why RAPITS suddenly accelerated.
I looked at the Ppajijik Gallery yesterday, and there were many posts with this kind of feeling.
… — — Ppajijik Gallery — — — …
[??? Ugh, is it RAPITS again?]
Ugh, this gacha coin is such a rip-off.
Every time I spin it, only RAPITS comes out.
– Gasp
– Gasp
That’s why it’s so good! Huh!
It fills up my hunger and thirst, huh?
As expected, bread is RAPITS bread, everyone.
Eat a lot.
– Fall detection is Roop-pyeong
– True lol
But look, everyone.
This is honestly because Parallel Coins are a rip-off.
I think they lowered the probability too much.
– What
– Are you saying Parallel is a rip-off right now?
Hey, you!
When did I say that!!
The coin name is Parallel Coin, but it’s different from that!!
Just the VTuber GOAT.
Parallel, who is giving out disaster relief funds. Thank you always.
(Smoking a cigarette) Ugh, when am I going to pay Jia back?

– Ppajijik485: To summarize, Parallel dud = RAPITS bread, right?
– Ppajijik020: Uh-oh
– Ppajijik852: Honestly, RAPITS started the fight first
– Ppajijik990: No, Majia started it first by aggressively marketing
– Ppajijik025: Are you saying that Majia, who spread money all over the server, is at fault?
L🟦 Ppajijik04: Hey hey hey
L🟦Ppajijik04: That’s enough

Roopco is a somewhat funny person, but he’s a major company with 1 million subscribers.
He overcame the crisis in a pleasant way.
RAPITS might have felt a bit upset after seeing this.
That if you spin Parallel Coins and get a dud, it’s RAPITS bread.
That’s a bit much.
Of course, neither our boss nor their boss would have intended this situation.
In fact, when I showed this post to the boss, he was taken aback.
“No. I didn’t intend this.”
“In my opinion, if we spend another ten million won here, it might look like we’re starting a war. It’s still WWE right now, and the troublemakers are just waiting for a chance to start a fight, so I think it’s better to calm down for now.”
