Chapter 73

[What is this voice recognition feature? LOL]

[I asked for a skin, and they just gave it to me!~]

[Eonix! Eonix! Eonix! Eonix!]

[Is this a super funny hidden camera prank? Is this a super funny hidden camera prank? Is this a super funny hidden camera prank?]

[Eonix, you guys… haven’t forgotten about Camilla, huh?]

[It’s clear everyone still loves Camilla!]

[(An ASCII art of Camilla giving a thumbs up)]

[Wow, it’s been years since a skin was released! They only made skins when Camilla launched; nothing was done afterward.]

[Skins and whatever, she was completely wiped off the patch list, LOL.]

[This is a gift for the Teacher who’s played Camilla for years with no buffs or nerfs.]

[They really nailed it, aimed perfectly at the nerds’ tastes.]

[Underboob, damn LOL, is this level okay?]

[Bread hats are super cute, but the underboob and lower body really give off a subtly sexy vibe, don’t you think?]

[These guys just do their job well.]

[Starting practice with Camilla from today. Yep.]

[This Christmas won’t be lonely…]

[WakaPyaHukBang LOL, solid, fluffy, soft, moist baby food bang bang LOL!]

[So pretty LOL, I really want to kidnap her and take her home.]

[Camilla Review]

[The Broadcast Host is about to die LOL.]

[That breathing sound, oh my!]

[Did the person lose their words?]

[Kayak is just about to be happy!!]

“Heeek… Heek….”

For a moment, Kayak was making a fuss by banging on the desk, but it seems they got so excited they just got exhausted, as only faint breaths could be heard.

This is during Kayak’s live broadcast of the conference.

The explanation of the rank system overhaul, bug fixes, and various patches for user convenience was going on, and now they’re in the mid-section.

Out of the blue, Eonix revealed the Snowflake Queen Camilla as a new mythical-level skin. It was so different from the previous conference that no one had seen it coming.

And it’s no wonder, as it was the first time they ever announced they made a skin during a conference. No matter how expensive it was, they had never been so upfront about introducing one before.

However, the reason for this was revealed in the following words of the overall director.
The Snowflake Queen Camilla is set to be sold at the highest price among skins released so far. It will be available in the shop for a total of 5250 AP right after next week’s maintenance, and will be on limited sale from November 18 to February 12 this winter.

As soon as the Director finished speaking, the chat started blowing up.

[What the hell, Honggyun!]

[Is Honggyun out of his mind?]

[Not just rare or legendary, but mythic level? Damn, the price skyrocketed! LOL]

[These guys are just total assholes, right?]

[Isn’t it too expensive?]

[A game company gone mad for money? Beep bop.]

[5250 is f*cked LOL how much is that in real money?]

[After a bonus, it ends up being around 50,000 won.]

[You’re gonna burn 50,000 won on just one skin?]

[For an all-time great skin, an all-time great price? Eonix has gone crazy ❤️]

[It’s expensive, but seeing the skin’s quality, some people might actually buy it?]

[As a student, I can’t afford it ㅠㅠ…]

[Here’s to the Broadcast Host definitely buying it.]

[Kayak is Camilla’s girlfriend, right?]

[If you don’t buy it, you’ll get NTR’ed.]

[Poor Kayak can’t afford to buy a girlfriend… oh…]

[Girlfriend is kind of pricey, huh?]

[It’s a public good, so this is totally…]

“Don’t say weird stuff about our Camilla.”

Suddenly back to her senses, Kayak clicked the mouse and banned the viewer who was sexually harassing Camilla.

The viewers finally turned to the room’s owner and bombarded them with questions.

<ㅇㅇ donated 1000 won!>
– Teacher, are you really going to buy this?

[So-Shin-Comment donated 1000 won!]
– Honestly, it’s too expensive, right? Say something as a representative of Camilla.

[Kayak's Heart donated 1000 won!]
– It’s expensive, but just the fact that a skin is coming out makes Kayak feel good, so it’s totally worth spending money, LOL.

“Well, I’m definitely going to buy it. It’s expensive, but… thinking about it, it has its own symbolic value? Kind of like having a premium tag on it. Luxury, yes. That feels just right. It feels like buying luxury goods. Of course, I’ve never actually bought luxury goods…”

“It’s the most expensive skin in the Abyss and also the prettiest. If the design looked ugly, I wouldn’t know, but just looking at this skill demonstration, I really like it. Our Camilla should’ve had this skin ages ago… Honestly, I was thinking about staging a one-person protest at the Eonix headquarters if they didn’t release a skin by the end of this year. But since it’s coming out like this, I’m feeling great. I gotta buy it for sure. Yup~ I’ll be spending money without a second thought. Totally upvote. I’ll be the first one.”
“Listen up! Our Camilla should have had this skin ages ago… Honestly, I was seriously considering staging a one-person protest at the Eonix headquarters if they didn’t release it by the end of the year. But now that it’s finally here, I’m really happy! I’m definitely buying it, yep~ going for brainless spending! Total thumbs up. Starting with me!”

Kayak, normally so reserved, was babbling away. The viewers were totally excited, and her bubbling happiness was contagious.

When Kayak showed a positive reaction to the skin’s price, even some of the previously negative-minded people started to look a bit interested.

“I learned in economics that luxury goods sell better when they’re more expensive.”

“Kaya Smith’s invisible hand.”

“I love it so much, I can’t even call her a fool.”

“50,000 won… is it worth it?”

“Compared to mobile games these days, this is actually quite a steal, lol. Gacha pulls there cost a fortune.”

“But if I buy it and can’t use Camilla, it’d be useless, right?”

“I guess it’d be nice for bragging rights.”

“Real flashy for show-off purposes.”

“This will probably increase the Camilla fans even more.”

“A pretty trash can turned into a pricey pretty trash can, lol.”

“Eonix has been working hard all this time, they deserve a drink.”

“They can charge a bit more for the skin, yeah.”

“Yep~ but I’m still not buying.”

“The amazing part is this only costs about the price of two chickens.”

“If I skip ordering chicken twice, I can get Snowflake Queen Camilla? Whoa!”

“Chicken’s so pricey these days, I can’t even order it…”

“Even takeout is expensive, lol.”

As the conference continued, gameplay footage of Snowflake Queen Camilla was playing.

It confirmed that everything from her basic appearance to her skill effects and special motions was of top-notch quality as the video came to a close.

As the atmosphere of the conference began to wind down, the director picked up the mic once again.

“And finally, this is also a big event: Abyss: The New World will be getting a theatrical release. It’s a movie that captures the story of Abyss. It’s a work that has connections to the cinematic trailers released previously.”

Shock, and more shock.

This was an event that was as big as, if not bigger than, Camilla’s new skin release.

But that wasn’t all.

“For users who go to the theater to watch Abyss: The New World, we will be giving out coupon codes. The rewards will range from basic emotes that can be used in the game to premium skins, hero skins, and even limited edition skins that are no longer on sale. And…
Starting with basic emoticons, moving on to advanced skins, hero skins, and now, even limited edition skins that aren’t for sale anymore. And…

Director Oh Hong-kyun adjusts his glasses, flashing a sly smile.

The smooth lenses reflect light, momentarily rendering his eyes invisible.

– There’s also a very low chance that the Snowflake Queen Camilla skin will be included in the coupon code. Lucky folks might get to watch an interesting movie and snag a new skin for free, right?

That was a bombshell remark. Absolutely a bombshell.

The chat of the official broadcast hosting the conference was practically paralyzed.

With the release of Camilla’s new skin, even the kayak stream that had drawn viewers began experiencing the same chaos. About 15,000 people, overwhelmed with various emotions, flooded the chat, causing even a smooth broadcast to lag.

[What what what what what?]

[Dammit, Hong-kyun, I believed in you!]

[Shit, I didn’t believe!]

[New skin reveal, movie release, coupon code distribution… this conference is legendary.]

[Wow, they’re even making a movie now, the scale is insane!]

[I gotta binge-watch the cinematic stuff, lol, let’s go!]

[What’s with the surprise after not mentioning it at all?]

[Preparing a special event for the users…]

[We worship you, goat!]

And in the center of it all, a woman was letting out an ecstatic scream.

“Kieeeek!”

– Teacher, is your throat alright?

“Oh, yes… I got a bit too excited earlier.”

It’s Camilla’s body that’s tough and durable.

And yet, if her throat is slightly scratchy, just how loud was she screaming?

But it can’t be helped. Something this amazing is happening! From the perspective of someone who truly loves the Abyss, it’s the biggest celebration of my life.

It’s truly a dream come true.

Oh God, thank you. I’m glad to be Camilla.

Abyss has become the ultimate game. It’s really exhilarating. There’s no time to get bored with all these surprises…

[Teacher, are you going to watch the movie?]

“I have to go, I definitely have to go.”

She muttered with the most decisive expression she’s had so far.
