Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

Main text: Chapter 69 (Chapter 66) Gao Songdeng: So it turns out he's learning a foreign language

The next day, early in the morning.

The crows fluttered into the trees, mingling with the other crows on the power lines.

Nakamachi Arale groggily reached out and touched the headboard, but couldn't find the light switch. She then realized that she wasn't in that deserted villa in the port area anymore, but in Imaizumi's house. Instinctively, she hugged the blanket in her arms, buried her head in it, took a deep breath, and made a strange sound.

It has no other scent besides its own vanilla fragrance.

She made a few cute little noises, like the sound of someone lazing in bed, and rolled over in the covers. Beneath her messy blonde hair, her drowsy pink eyes searched for a moment before pulling out her phone, the home screen lit up with unread messages.

The blonde girl rubbed her eyes and squinted as she read the message.

"Don't let my sister see Xiangzi?"

"Hurry up and send her home? Who's going to do that? Me?"

In an instant, Arale Nakamachi lost her sleepiness.

The source of the message was my mother. She sent me the message last night after I told her that I didn't plan to go home and that I had found out that my sister was doing idol activities at Wing-Wind agency.

She was filled with excitement and satisfaction after her debut and fell asleep quickly, so she didn't see it.

She and her sister hadn't even met in Tokyo yet, let alone been urged to go home quickly. What right did she have to say such things to her sister? And what was going on between her sister and Toyokawa Shoko?

Arale Nakamachi couldn't understand why her mother made these demands.

Moreover, she felt a slight sadness. Her mother had only briefly reminded her of something after talking about her older sister. Perhaps after hearing that she and Toyokawa Shoko had reunited in Tokyo, she felt that her schooling was arranged by the Toyokawa family and that her mother didn't need to worry about it.

"Hmph." Arale Nakamachi threw her phone down.

Although she hadn't initially planned to tell her mother that she was living under the same roof as President Jin, she was now planning to prepare miso for President Jin's breakfast.

Pushing open the door, the aroma of food already filled the air from the stove.

The blonde girl sat down at the dining table, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at the figure in the kitchen.

......

"Eh? Little Arale?"

Carrying a shoulder bag, Takamatsu Yato, who was about to go to school, blinked twice, her head not quite registering what was happening. (Zero Five)

Why did she see Arale Nakamachi and Teruyuki Ima coming down from the apartment building one after the other? Akari Takamatsu knew that Arale Nakamachi would occasionally come downstairs to wait for him, and the two of them would go to the rehearsal room together.

"I went to the president's house to pick up some things, and also asked him for some foreign language lessons. The president is like my foreign language teacher."

Arale Nakamachi smiled and picked up a bag of school documents.

Obviously, she won't tell the truth.

"So it's for learning a foreign language."

Takamatsu nodded, unconditionally trusting her fellow first-generation member, and said goodbye.

Arale Nakamachi watched her leave.

It's not appropriate to keep making excuses and pretending that I actually came to the president's house in the morning and just happened to go downstairs with the president. I should find a chance to go out at different times than Takamatsu Akari.

It'll be fine once she goes to Haneoka for higher education; the school atmosphere at Hanasakikawa is much more relaxed than at Haneoka. Hanasakikawa can easily be late or leave early by talking to the teacher, and even if she skips classes repeatedly, she just needs to explain afterward.

She and Jin Zhaozhi parted ways on the road.

She's going to her vocal lesson, and President Jin is going to the rehearsal room.

Several clothes were hanging on the first floor, while several artists who had arrived on time were on the second floor, which had professional sound recording equipment. Momoka Kawahara was also serving as the voice director, guiding Aine Chihaya and Shoko Toyokawa in a joint voice-over performance.

"...I am Sakuraba Aine, the rhythm guitarist of MyGO! I miss my family very much, but there is no time to hesitate here. As a witch, I will fight with all my might."

"...I am Oblivionis of veMjic, Xiangwan v. Please take care of me until we find a way back."

The two were in separate rooms, repeatedly deliberating on the scripts they had received, each using names completely unrecognizable from those in the MyGO radio drama.

This script came from Hypergryph, the production company of the collaboration partner "Arknights". Since neither party had any experience in collaboration, their employees were very dedicated and quickly prepared the voice-over requirements.

According to Hypergryph, the three characters from the MyGO radio drama collaboration are limited-time characters, and unless veMjic is also excellent, leading to a second collaboration, they won't be re-released. They mentioned many mobile game events and gacha rules. In short, it boils down to a few words: let's make money together. (Six)

Once the voice acting is completed, there is a three-month event schedule, and it will be launched three months later.

Jin Zhaozhi wasn't really concerned about the details of these gacha pool arrangements; he only needed to make a final review to ensure that the content written by Hypergryph didn't disrupt the MyGO universe or affect the agency.

Now, Teruyuki sat opposite Momoka Kawara.

"Today is Momoka-san's debut live stream, right? Let me see the script for the live stream."

"There's nothing to see here. It's just imitating these little girls pretending to be young and introducing themselves. Besides, I'm the lead singer at Diamond Star, so my performance will definitely be no less impressive than Arale's."

“You know what I want to see,” Jin Zhaozhi said.

Momoka Kawahara dutifully pulled out the entire script, which indeed included a segment about having a drink. The good news was that she knew her alcohol tolerance was actually quite low, and many of her "drunken remarks" were pre-arranged.

He put down his script. Although it seemed a bit unreliable, Momoka Kawahara didn't really let loose; she only had a few drinks within the bounds of "for the sake of the show."

"Let me preface this by saying something that might be impolite. You can stream yourself drinking, but if you reveal any information about the agency while drunk, I guarantee you'll quit and won't be able to make it in the music industry. Right now, although you're a virtual streamer, you're actually being groomed by the agency to be an idol."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've got this under control!"

Kawara Momoka quickly made a promise.

As for her claim that the drinking fine is being used to pay President Jin's salary? Haha, who's complaining here?

After a pause and issuing a warning, Jin Zhaozhi was about to offer a reward:

"After saying the less-than-polite things, here comes the polite stuff. Your live streaming style is completely different from the first generation of trainees. Your audience on Bilibili might be much larger than you expect. I estimate that your basic monthly salary plus the revenue share from live streaming should be around 60, not even counting the revenue share from albums and merchandise."

"60々／岜，咝＄＾五蒐ˇ⊙索∴≯Q羣∽-:万!" Kawara Momoka's eyes lit up.

She cleared her throat: "As the captain of the first generation and a role model for these underage girls, you know me, President. Aside from the entertainment value during live broadcasts, I will abstain from alcohol starting today!"

After explaining the pros and cons to Momoka Kawahara, Ima Teruyuki's tone became more relaxed. "Well, that's the rule. Once you're done with what you're doing, all you first-generation members, gather together and I'll talk to you about a few scenarios for the first game we'll be streaming, 'Minecraft'."

On his prepared script were written a few words:

Minecrft, a shared home!

Main text: Chapter 70 and Chapter 67: I created a shared home in Minecraft!

My world is a game card that Jin Zhaozhi is about to play.

Minecraft is a sandbox game with top-notch live streaming effects. It can be used for team building or solo live streaming to create entertaining content. It was an important program for Hololive in its early stages to build its popularity.

Virtual streamers playing sandbox games together, such as ARK: Survival Evolved, Minecraft, or party games like Werewolf and Goose Duck, has always been an important part of group streaming and has gained widespread popularity. The number of viewers watching the live stream doesn't lie.

On the contrary, games like "League of Legends" and "PEX" are very popular, but the live streaming effect is very poor.

Virtual YouTubers typically lack any real skill and rely on Japanese-style management that infuriates viewers. Even the most dedicated fans can't stand the constant virtual YouTubers playing games like Pyro and Vega.

Since there are already proven paths, Zhao Zhi naturally has no intention of taking any unconventional routes.

Besides being able to withstand pressure, being a live streamer also requires having work to do; otherwise, who will watch you? The first batch of trainees, when they don't have any work to do, follow his scripts and act out scenes from Tokyo Memories and Shared Homes. It's even better if they have their own work to do.

Jin Zhaozhi has prepared the game, several scripts to choose from, and plenty of room for the first-generation members to play and develop their own ideas. They are just waiting to work with Bilibili to push the game to a wider audience.

He planned the game broadcast content perfectly.

Death, however, came quickly.

He encountered the biggest problem with the group broadcasting plan.

Part 2: "I've sent the installation package to the group; just unzip it yourself. It's a 'lazy package,' download and play immediately. As for the server, I've pre-configured it in the multiplayer setting with STFF..."

"Um, what's an installation package? How do I extract it?"

The peach blossoms of Sanhe whispered softly.

She couldn't understand either the first word or the second.

Seeing her expression, Jin Zhaozhi sensed something was wrong: "Taoxiang, have you ever played computer games? As a virtual streamer, gaming is definitely an important part of the live stream content. Do you have any relevant knowledge?"

5. "Let me think... Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper? I actually prefer reading and sports..."

Subsequently, under the curious gaze of Chihaya Aine and Toyokawa Shoko, Ima Teruyuki encountered a problem he might never forget: teaching Kawara Momoka how to decompress the Minecraft modpack.

Where can I download the skin? Which one should I download?

"Which file is it? I can't find the launcher."

"How does it return? What does 'memory' mean?..."

About fifteen minutes passed, during which she kept asking questions.

Momoka Kawara smiled awkwardly. She was friendly and quick, displaying the unstoppable energy of a high school dropout band, but she hadn't learned how to de-stress.

Jin Zhaozhi finally couldn't take it anymore, "I'll record a stress-relieving video for you later."

At that moment, he thought of Takamatsu Akari, and the other band girls whose real lives were too busy to have much contact with computer games. Didn't they play computer games? Kawara Momoka can even use computer software to compose music, so how come she doesn't know how to decompress?

Does he intend to copy them one by one?

"This is the first time I've ever seen the president with this expression."

"She must be angry about Momoka drinking, right? Momoka really went too far, saying something about paying the president's salary, that's so rock and roll..."

"Very likely."

The few people who came over without knowing the situation whispered among themselves.

......

By the afternoon, all the first-generation students had arrived, including Xiangzi and Rencai.

They watched with curiosity the game decompression video tutorial that Jin Zhaozhi had hastily put together, as well as the introduction to online games, the introduction to "Minecraft," and so on. It was very detailed, yet very unfamiliar to them.

After school, everyone goes to play in a band, who would play video games?

After a long explanation, they finally understood Jin Zhaozhi's explanation, since they had some experience with handheld consoles before. The games themselves weren't complicated, so they could practice and play at their own pace; there was no rush.

Next, we'll introduce the more elaborate activities. (The bait)

As expected, Takamatsu Akari asked the question first: Moon

What is a shared home?

She considered many concepts that can be understood literally, but she couldn't quite grasp them.

"We share resources gathered in the game, we share the harvest from farming, we share the loot after defeating monsters, we share the buildings we construct together, and so on. Because we're all broadcasting this content together as a group of first-generation members, we'll all build our own homes in the same area; I call it a shared home."

Jin Zhaozhi gave a brief answer, while Gao Songdeng seemed to be deep in thought.

Clearly, this lifestyle sparked her creative desire, making her want to put pen to paper and write something.

These clips of entertaining content need to be edited together and then listened to along with one or two traditional Chinese DJ songs sung by each artist from E社. As for how Bilibili viewers view it, that's their business; at least there's something to do.

Anyway, Ps*Ple was just freeloading, so what's wrong with the first generation creating a shared home and freeloading a bit?

Only after confirming that every girl, like Ms. Momoka, knew how to play stress-relieving games did he begin to explain the script:

“Since there is a shared home, there must be a nominal leader for the shared home. I will call him the village chief or the lord. You can decide for yourselves. These are just scripts written for reference.”

“Electing a leader? That sounds like too much trouble. Can I withdraw from the race?” Momoka Kawaragi said.

"Of course. The first-generation village chief was chosen by the first-generation members themselves, and then the position was changed every two weeks. Starting with the second-generation chief, the village chief will be elected by a vote among the first-generation members, with 50% of the vote determined by the audience and fans. Purchasing fan merchandise from the agency can increase the voting weight..."

"Wait, what's a fan vote?"

As she listened, Momoka Kawaharaki sensed something was wrong.

Fan voting is part of Jin Zhaozhi's money-making plan.

"It's what's called chart ranking."

He smiled and confidently explained, "Your fans can buy merchandise and get up to 10 votes to elect you as the village chiefs of the shared community... These are just the basic concepts. Ps*Ple and the second generation will also join in."

"Once you become the village chief, you can decide the game strategy yourself. Whether you continue to practice the concept of shared home is entirely up to you. For example, if Hina is elected village chief, you might have to treat her like a shogun and pay her game resources every day. You can discuss the specific game rules yourselves. I'm only responsible for the later marketing."

"To make the competition among fans more intense, and to increase your income accordingly, after the village chief is elected, the agency will arrange resources such as original songs for her, and she will hold live performances in the town of the game in the form of variety shows."

"As for the fans, you don't need to say that. At the beginning, you must have an entertainment attitude so that the fans feel that they are actively promoting the development... That's about it."

Main text: Chapter 71, Chapter 68, Momoka: I'd rather die than act cute (referring to three people)

Toyokawa Shoko asked, "With only two weeks, can a so-called game strategy really last? Isn't it possible that after developing according to the previous strategy for a short while, a new strategy will emerge?" (Ryou)

Crychic only lasts for two weeks, doesn't it?

Jin Zhaozhi thought of Crychic and explained:

"I designed it this way on purpose."
