Chapter 65
[What is this?]
-Notice
Hello, this is Mollru.
It feels strange, but the number of cafe members has increased significantly.
It feels like just yesterday that we couldn’t even hit 100 members, and it’s truly nostalgic.
I always appreciate the interest and love you’ve shown to someone as insignificant as me.
But too much attention can always be burdensome.
I’m a much more trivial and shabby person than you might think.
I’m afraid that one day, when the bubble bursts and you see my true self, you’ll be disappointed.
Please, let’s not elevate me any further.
Now, let’s get to the point.
There will be an ad broadcast tonight at 8 PM.
Please show a lot of interest.

Bangjang drinking? Why is this sudden?
ㅇㅇ: This has always been the way, don’t make a fuss.
ㅇㅇ: How about not just reposting the cafe notices and actually going to the cafe instead?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: How many times do I have to say that the cafe is suffocating?! Damn!
ㅇㅇ: In the middle of all this, you didn’t even say what the ad is about. It’s good to be consistently clueless, I guess.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: For real, lol that’s the most important part.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I’m really curious what kind of ad this psycho will bring.
ㅇㅇ: Mollru, flustered from the sudden influx of people, is cute.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: What the heck is this guy seeing? When has Mollru ever been flustered?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The broth people always see reality distorted, lol. Otherwise, there’s no way to live in this world.
Mollru’s notice posted in the cafe spread like wildfire across numerous domestic broadcasting communities.
In less than half a year since starting, Mollru boasts an average of 10,000 viewers, an incredible feat.
Of course, an ad would come rolling in for someone so hot in the broadcasting scene.
However, even the game ads that are most commonly presented to game broadcasters haven’t been done even once by Mollru.
Speculations ran wild: it’s pocket change for Mollru, too busy with other games, already has her broadcast schedule booked, just thinks it’ll be boring, etc.
Amidst all this, Mollru’s ad broadcast notice appeared.
With countless eyes already on Mollru’s broadcast.
It was more than enough to catch people’s attention.
-Mollru is live!

[What is this?]
[The title is too long so it keeps getting cut off]
[If it’s F&B, it seems like a food company]
[This crazy girl, lol]
Caught off guard by the unexpected timing and wording, Mollru opened her mouth among the viewers.
Her voice was calm and steady as if it was no big deal.
Wuuuuh, wooo the sound got louder and quieter again.
Something wasn’t going right today; she seemed to be stumbling.
[Starting the ad broadcast with a setup, lol]
[Teacher, my ears are itching…]
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, a, ah,]
[What’s with the echo?]
[Are they broadcasting from a mountain? Why does it echo like this?]
[How about just singing? The setup is spot on right now.]
“Ah, done. Can you hear me well now?”
How many times had the sound of rustling passed through the mic?
The unstable audio setup was now stabilized.
Today, Mollru’s room was bustling with people.
Lying halfway as if it were her own home, scratching her stomach while instructing the chat room, Mollru seemed completely unfazed.
“Yes, as mentioned, this is an ad broadcast. Thank you to Ryuah’s Mast for the 10,000 won donation. What’s the point of making an announcement 30 minutes before the broadcast… It seems somewhat pointless to say, but it seems many people came after reading the notice. Our Hanareum F&B gave me an ad opportunity. The product I’m promoting is… as mentioned in the title. Yes, that’s right. Naengmyeon.”
[Wasn’t it a bait? So it’s really naengmyeon?]
[The title is so messed up I can’t read it on mobile, give me a break]
[Who writes the ad broadcast title like this?]
[Yep, here I am~ The title reflects the moderator’s heart~]
[LOL people coming in are so confused by the spicy taste they can’t think straight.]
[Kinggoguma donated 1,000 won!]
-Teacher, but how will you eat naengmyeon without a cam?
“Great question. The naengmyeon I received as a sponsorship is right beside me. I’ll be showing the entire process of preparing and eating the packaged naengmyeon live on cam.”
[Cam? Cam? Cam? Cam? Cam? Cam? Cam?]
[Thank you ad sponsor, thank you ad sponsor, thank you ad sponsor, thank you ad sponsor]
[Are you going to show your face? Don’t make a fuss.]
[Is there a crazy girl eating naengmyeon in the middle of winter?]
[The ad sponsor must be crazy too, giving a food ad to a no-cam streamer, especially naengmyeon in winter.]
[It seems like a match made in heaven, they should get married.]
[Damn it, that’s not right, don’t cross the line.]
[This is seriously scary, LOL.]
[The wrath of the broth is unimaginable… it can’t be contained.]
Mollru seemed to be satisfied as she listened to the viewers’ heated responses, chuckling to herself.
Then, just as she said, the broadcast screen turned on, revealing something.
A pair of someone’s white hands and packaged naengmyeon.
Not long after, an amateurishly edited subtitle popped up on top of it, like it was rushed through Photoshop.
The cheap and flashy red and yellow text certainly had something that caught the eye.
[Is this really intentional?]
[I miss Bonobono-nim.]
[Mollru = Lucky Idiot TV]
[LOLOLOL Bonobono was a fairy.]
[This is better than something mediocre.]
[Better? What’s better when I can’t even see Mollru’s hands because of that crappy subtitle?]
The subtitle showing the manufacturer, price, and current event for the naengmyeon didn’t disappear despite the viewers’ complaints.
To be precise, it seemed she was aware but didn’t care much.
“Alright, let’s make the naengmyeon according to the instructions. Boil 800ml of water and put in the noodles and toppings, simmer for 3 minutes on low… Do I really need to get it to precise 800ml? I don’t have a measuring cup. Can I just eyeball it? I can do it like ramen water. Ah, okay. Uh… is something floating in the water? What’s this black thing? I think it’s from the noodles.”
[This ad is going downhill fast, lol.]
[Can’t escape from live broadcasting, lol.]
[Mollru is a true broadcaster; she could easily silence up for money, but look at how honest she is.]
[Ride this momentum and run for office next!]
[The advertiser is probably crying right now.]
[Even giving a food ad to a no-cam? That was a huge mistake…]
Suddenly, an urgent donation came in.
Mollru, busy adjusting the gas burner while boiling the noodles, paused to look at the donation message.
[Hanareum F&B donated 10,000 won!]
-That’s buckwheat hulls. It’s mentioned in the instructions, ^^.
“Oh, I see. Buckwheat hulls, everyone. It seems you can eat it without worry?”
[What does the ^^ mean?]
[^^ You really suck at this ad, lol.]
[For real, LOLOL.]
[It’s crazy that the broadcast category is set to cook right now.]
[You just boil the noodles and pour broth. Is this what you call cooking?]
Mollru’s cooking, however, proceeded without a hitch.
It took a mere 4 minutes to transfer the cooked noodles and broth into a suitably sized bowl.
This short preparation time clearly highlighted the convenience of instant naengmyeon.
“Tada! It’s done. This is the refreshing dongchimi broth naengmyeon. There’s also the spicy bibim naengmyeon as a sister product.”
Mollru brought the plate of naengmyeon closer to the cam, showing it off from different angles.
But little did she know that getting too close made the seemingly fine visuals look downright terrible.
“Now, I’ll give it a taste to see how it is. Hoo, hoo.”
With that, taking a chopstick full, Mollru stirred the noodles.
She moved the noodles to a plate that she had prepped who knows when.
For some reason, the sound of breath could be heard as the invisible Mollru’s mouth inhaled the noodles.
[Seriously, she’s blowing on something that isn’t even hot.]
[Ah, lol, she has to blow on it because it’s icy like that.]
[Why is she not dunking it in broth? She should eat it with the broth.]
[Come on, eat more.]
[Two strands, lol.]
[She’s really teasing us with how she eats it.]
[So the myth of the sea anchovy is true… she really doesn’t know how to eat.]
“Mmm, it’s delicious! The broth is sweet and sour, and the noodles are chewy. It just makes you want to keep eating.”
Whether she realized the blazing chat or not, Mollru seemed focused entirely on her naengmyeon.
So much so that she forgot to communicate with the viewers and just threw focus on food like a true gourmet.
Then, suddenly, she said out loud.
“I’m full. The portion is a bit much.”
[???????]
[You barely ate half of it, lol.]
[This is strange… It definitely looked like she was eating several times from the plate.]
[If you’re not drinking the broth, why are you eating naengmyeon?]
Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp.
[If you were really my daughter, I’d have slapped you hard across the face.]
[Look how slow this is! The noodles are all soggy!]
[Hanareum F&B donated 10,000 won!]
-Please, stop it…
With the monitor team watching the ad live, Mollru’s broadcast came to an end.
