BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154: Chapter 154 – Deal!
One day of work, and he would get 7 grand. That was too sweet.
Not to mtion, he would be able to do parkour in real life.
Tag House, as it was called, was a house for a tag. It was just a person chasing each other, but it was a sport that was recognized by the country and had a worldwide competition with many thusiasts.
It had many obstacles that could also be used for parkour. This might be the reason why parkour wasn\'t well known. Ev if people could do it, the name of the game of tag was more famous, and probably no one would call it parkour.
\'It\'s kinda sad.\' He thought.
Still, he didn\'t mind. And he actually had a question for Mr. Taka.
"April 9th… Isn\'t that so close to the monthly segmt recording, Mr. Taka?"
"It\'s, indeed. The monthly segmt will be livestreamed on the company\'s main Punch channel. We expect more than 00K viewers, and it\'s being held on April 30th. I can only say… good luck. It will be hard, but I hope you can manage." The marketing team manager laughed, "Welcome to streamer life."
"Streamer life…" Max muttered, and a smile appeared on his life. "I guess it\'s quite a busy life."
"Hahahaha, yes."
After the business talk was done, they conversed casually. Mr. Taka excused himself as he was still buried with work after saying that someone would accompany him wh he wt to the shooting location because he still had no manager or a secretary.
Max appreciated that and bid goodbye. He logged out from the VR. His body was drched in sweat, just like usual. Wh he looked at the clock, it was still 4:50. He still had time to rest.
\'I will stream again at 7. That way, I can finish the rest of 3 matches and op my Tier before midnight.\'
He took a shower and had an early dinner because he had forgott lunch. Th, he spt time messaging his editor, BloodSucker.
[Breeze: Blood, there will be an ad shooting for me on 9 and 30. I won\'t be able to stream that day. Can you use the existing footage from Midnight Heist? Also, can you also edit my parkour footage and improve it?]
His editing was good ough, but it was by no means a professional level. Compared to BloodSucker\'s, it was like the editing of a person who had never touched any editing software before.
[BloodSucker: What a demanding boss you are. And I already have your parkour editing in my cloud storage, complete with the thumbnail. Do you need it right now?]
"Whoa…" Max exclaimed in pleasant surprise wh he read BloodSucker\'s reply, "He\'s really working efficitly. That $3,000 is well spt. Well, $4,000 with his reward. This is good."
[Breeze: Yeah, that will be great. I will upload it and announce the editor\'s name so everyone will know about it. And my superior? I will have him take a look to sd it to the sponsor too.]
[BloodSucker: Fine. [AttachedVideo.mp3] Here you go. Just curious, but what\'s the ad you\'re talking about? You got one already? You don\'t need to answer if it\'s a secret.]
[Breeze: It\'s okay. I am asked to make a parkour video in real life using the sponsor\'s product. It\'s a shoe company called NoFeet.]
[BloodSucker: IRL? Well, congrats. So that\'s why you ded the stream today. Make sure to record that footage. And buy a better camera. This noble me\'s editing will be ruined by that trash camera.
The one you used sucks, trash. Buy a new one. The microphone too.]
\'Is it that bad?\' Max thought.
The currt camera he used could record a 4K with 60FPS. In his past life, such a camera was considered really good. But in this advanced technological world, where the camera could record an 8K resolution with 40FPS without any problem, it could also be considered trash.
\'I guess it\'s so bad.\' He muttered as he closed the hologram scre he used to browse the camera. \'The audio quality is bad too, far worse than my capsule. I guess I will buy them both.\'
[Breeze: Alright. I will record the parkour footage IRL if I am allowed to.]
[BloodSucker: Ev if you ar\'t allowed, sneak record it. It will be a good one. Not anyone can ter Tag House without permission.]
Sneak it. What a man. If he wasn\'t contracted to Biozone, th he would do that. But this was too risky.
\'If I get found out, I will be reprimanded. This guy doesn\'t think about the consequces.\'
He sighed and replied to BloodSucker for the last time before fixing his sitting position.
\'But… Did I mtion that the shooting will be in Tag House? How did he know about it?\'
He hummed curiously.
\'Well, no use thinking about it. I better boot up my VR capsule and buy the camera before I forget.\'
Shopping in VR would allow him to see the result of the camera instead of just its specifications. He tered the biggest Mall that the United Nations had to offer.
A variety of gadgets lay in front of his eyes. Wh he stepped in, he could see many people browsing the articles, accompanied by an AI employee. In fact, an employee appeared on his side from blue ptagons wh he tered the store.
"May I help you with something?" She asked politely with a smile.
"Yes, can you show me an action camera? I prefer the one with a good video stabilizer and can record up to 8K FPS. Also, a wireless microphone that has a good sound quality similar to Spcer\'s latest VR capsule."
"Certainly."
After giving his requiremts, the AI employee raised her hands and showed two objects: a small circular camera and a clip-on microphone. The camera was the type that could be worn on the forehead and not the one that hovered in the air, like the camera he currtly had.
"My apologies. An action camera is oft designed for a PoV point IRL, so it should be worn on the forehead and has no time to follow the user automatically. This camera is called Action Pro , and it\'s the best action camera with an affordable price of $3,500. It can record up to 8K 40FPS."
"The wireless microphone has a noise reduction function that can be set manually. It can pick up the smallest sound, like wind and running water. The price for this DJ Microphone is $,50. How would you like to proceed, customer?"
The total would be $4,650.
\'It\'s too expsive!\' He screamed in his mind.
However, this was also an investmt. It would be worth it.
"I\'ll buy them both." He said. "Please sd them to my address tomorrow."
The employee\'s smile broaded, "Thank you for your purchase! That would be $4,700 with the drone fee!"
Max finished the transaction while holding back his tears. Money left in the bank: $,700.
\'I am poor again.\' He sighed and contemplated his fate as a streamer.
Why did he like to be one? He wondered.
