Chapter 264 – Chapter 264. Coronavirus – 3
Watching the broadcast, the BJ approached a little farther away from the line where people were lined up and illuminated that direction.
While watching an Internet broadcast, Jieun held a dryer in her hand and dried her hair meticulously with hot, dry wind from the dryer.
-Huhhhhh-.
Ji-eun, while drying her hair with her naked body, brought her face a little closer to the phone she had placed on her bare thigh, looking more closely at the screen.
‘Are you standing in line?’
People stood in line for quite a long time.
There was a building
And many people stood in a fairly long line in front of it.
It looked like a line of popular items at a theme park.
Although the atmosphere was the exact opposite of Theme Park, everyone looked serious, and ten out of ten people were wearing their own masks.
Jieun wondered what the line was.
BJ shined once at the line standing straight in front, then once again at herself, and spoke through a mask that looked like a dust mask.
-Hyungs, I still have quite a few disposable masks left after I bought more today. Did you see that the mask almost fell out when I was going to the convenience store earlier? Pharmacies are in a similar situation. That line is for buying masks. When it comes to relief goods, there are free and paid ones, and you have to go there to find out. Rescue supplies are good though. Even if it comes with a fee, it comes out very cheaply. It’s less than half the price of a mask on the market.
Jieun also saw the chat window during the live broadcast.
People’s reactions were generally quite frightening.
[Wouldn’t you rather get the Wuhan Pneumonia while standing in line?]
[Dogs are scary]
[Wow, there were hardly any people walking around, so it seems like everyone gathered to buy a mask]
-But since I have a mask, I won’t go over there and line up. Well, as the viewer hyung said, a place with a lot of people is itself a bit dangerous. As of now, the most convincing theory of infection is that it is possible to be infected through mucous membranes, or that droplet transmission is possible. Let’s pay more attention. So, let’s go that way next. Ah, brothers, I’m putting my life on the air. Brothers who can afford it, I would like to ask for a little bit of pickled radish.
BJ, as expected, poured out words like a liquidation flow.
At the same time, he also watched and chatted with viewers.
[What the hell is this kind of broadcast?]
[Others (X) Why (O)]
[Laughs, cut out the spelling mistakes]
[Knock it off]
-The reason I’m broadcasting like this is because I thought that showing a realistic look like this would be a piece of content. These days, if you turn on the TV, everything will be broadcast on the news, as a recording studio or as a field reporter. But that’s been processed once, right? But in my case, I’m showing you the raw stuff, brothers. Wouldn’t the hyungs who like vivid things like this be able to like my broadcast more?
Since BJ was broadcasting, quite a lot of people gathered.
Even when Ji-eun first started broadcasting, there were 500 people, so it was quite a lot, but before I knew it, there were over 1,000 people.
People’s chatting also went up faster as the number of people increased.
As a result, the amount of donations increased.
In the meantime, a pretty big sponsor broke out.
[Igloo building owner (rjsanf5144) presented 5,000 pickled radish.]
For 5,000 pieces of pickled radish, it was 500,000 won in cash.
People couldn’t hide their surprise when they saw the big support burst.
[Diarrhea]
[Oh]
[Omg]
[Oh my god]
[Awesome]
[Five true stories?]
[Ahh]
BJ also shouted out of emotion.
– Aaaaagh! Brother Eagle! 5 pieces of pickled radish~! Thank you so much! Older brother!
Jieun was startled by the sudden shouting.
He was originally a male BJ who broadcasts with a clear and monotonous voice, but when the pickled radish exploded, he suddenly shouted and had to turn down the volume on his phone for a while.
And the one who gave a big support, soon entered the chat.
[Do you want to do one 20,000 missions?]
A mission is like the meaning of giving sponsorship under a kind of condition.
At first, he said that the 500,000 won he shot was just given, and that he would give me an additional 2 million won if I succeeded in giving him a mission.
A lot of chats came up.
But among them, BJ read his chat at a glance and had a conversation, as if only the chat posted by the building owner seemed to shine.
-What kind of mission is it, bro? 20,000? Heck! Leave it to me, brother!
And after sponsoring 500,000 won again, the proposer who proposed a mission of 2 million won entered a chat with him.
[Is there a closed hospital where the infected came out? Do you know where?]
-Yes! I know, brother!
[I secretly trespassed there, occupied a bed, and did a mission for more than an hour to lie down]
The mission was to lie down.
Lieupbang means broadcasting while lying down.
However, it was not a general lie-down room, but rather a ward where the infected person came out and even if it was disinfected, there was still a possibility of the virus remaining, and to lie down on a hospital bed and broadcast for an hour.
BJ, who had been replying vigorously, hesitated a little at his words.
-A closed hospital? Oh~.
When Jieun saw it, it was a mission that made his jaw drop open.
It was okay to spend a total of 2.5 million won, including the advance payment without a price for trust and the mission fee, which is a success allowance, but other reasons were bigger.
First of all, a closed ward is a place where the virus was unconditionally.
It didn’t seem easy to be sure whether it would have completely disappeared through disinfection.
In the air, the virus can live for up to 10 days.
I didn’t know that there might be a virus that didn’t die with disinfectant.
BJ, who received the mission, was also hesitant whether or not to do the mission differently from his initial momentum.
[Don’t you like it? 20,000; Shall we go to another room..]
-Oh, no, brother! Give us a minute to think! Older brother! Older brother! Ah~, don’t go out for a second~. Let’s go in the direction of the hospital where the confirmed patient came out!
When BJ spoke positively about the mission, people cheered.
Hahareal sense?]
[This is great haha I’ll do a proper tour of the infection ward]
[If it’s 2.5 million won, even if you don’t pay the fee, it’s 360,000 won for the corona test, so it’s a good deal haha]
[Much rums; The MERS fatality rate was over 30 percent, isn’t this?]
[ㅇㅇ If you get confirmed while doing a mission, you’ll run around spreading the virus.]
[Broadcast seems like a legend]
People’s reactions varied.
There were reactions to enjoy being provided with something to see, reactions to counting money, reactions to worry about BJ, reactions to concerns about the spread of the virus, and reactions to thinking about broadcasting.
BJ first walked towards the hospital where the confirmed patient came out.
He walked while constantly talking to the viewers who gave him the mission.
While watching the broadcast, Jieun thought it was really great.
Everything was great.
The appearance of a person in a position of power that can control people’s lives with money and make them a spectacle for a while.
The look of a person who is heading towards the virus with the momentum that would give his life right away if he gave him money.
Even the look of some people who are happy to see it.
Jieun shook her head and turned off the broadcast.
I thought it was too much, but on the other hand, I felt sorry for the reality that I could understand.
As much as that, the gap between the rich and the poor got worse day by day, and someone became Gap and someone became Eul.
Such an appearance was already taking place in the first half of this world.
Is it right?
That judgment would be different for each person.
Some will think that capitalism gives you the freedom to do what you want with money, while others will think that it is self-indulgence to influence people that much with money.
One thing is certain, however, that just as an army is needed to protect a country without fighting, one must first have money and power to protect oneself and one’s family.
For Ji-eun, especially since she has a social life, those things touched her skin more.
From the time when I was in a private company and the current point of being a public servant.
During my middle and high school days and college days, I didn’t see that class well.
However, in social life, the world was full of classes.
Now that she herself has become an adult, Jieun suddenly thought that adults are amazing.
Even her father and mother, who seem to have lived seemingly peaceful lives every day, in fact, she wondered if she would have kept her home in a silent battlefield every day.
She didn’t know without being in that position and seeing it.
Before she had a social life, she couldn’t understand the mind of a member of society, and although she hadn’t become her parents yet, she wouldn’t have known the feelings of her parents until she became a parent herself.
Now that I’ve become an adult, I think I know a little bit about the reason for the adults’ nagging.
Study.
When I was studying, I didn’t know why I had to study so much.
But as an adult, she seemed to understand.
After becoming a member of society, the less you study, the more difficult the study, the less helpful it is to improve your life.
In other words, studying during school days is very efficient compared to effort.
At that time, if you really work hard and go to Yonsei University at Seoul National University, you can have more career options without having to take the 9th grade civil service exam, which is a more difficult test for some of the subjects than the CSAT.
That was also a bit sad.
It was because of the thought that if he was a true elite during his school days, he might have had a higher level of study skills to the extent that he could start with the 7th or 5th grade instead of the 9th grade.
“Should I do the laundry and tidy up the refrigerator?”
She must have dried her hair while watching the broadcast, so Ji-eun got up and took out her clothes.
Since I am at home, I decided to wear comfortable clothes without having to worry about street clothes as usual.
Jieun, who was naked, put on relatively comfortable clothes and then put the laundry in the washing machine.
And she walked towards the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was on the kitchen side.
Jieun used a rather large room for a single rooftop, rather than a rooftop with multiple rooms like a typical gosichon rooftop.
So there was also a kitchen that was separated from the room by one door.
While I went to the refrigerator to tidy up, the washing machine was running.
-Uuuuu-. Churrrr…
Along with the sound of running water in the washing machine, Jieun sorted out the things that needed to be thrown away in the refrigerator.
Also, before washing, I placed the items I bought at the mart and put in place so that I could take them out together.
Meanwhile, Jieun put her phone down next to the refrigerator.
I was a bit bored just cleaning out the refrigerator, so I turned on the news.
On the news, a female announcer with a relatively low, ringing tone was conducting the broadcast.
– A group of people who have been hoarding and selling masks were caught this morning. The seller was arrested after posting an article on a second-hand trading site saying that he hoarded about 1 million health masks, which account for about 10% of daily mask production, and sold them for 1.4 billion won. During the arrest, the company admitted that it had purchased and stored large quantities of masks for profit. Due to the surge in demand for masks, the government has been stipulating the act of cornering and storing more than 150% of last year’s average monthly sales for more than 5 days since the 5th, and strengthening the punishment for this. In the case of such cornering, a fine of up to 50 million won or…
Jieun exclaimed as she cleaned out her refrigerator.
“And…”
She had heard similar news not too long ago.
It was news that sold 3 billion won worth of masks.
This time, it was 1.4 billion, so it seemed a little smaller than then, but it felt very large because it was said to be close to 10% of the daily mask turnover rate.
And in a way, it seemed that it would be difficult to even call it hoarding.
It may not be as common as the daily mask sales that did not exceed 150% of last year’s average monthly sales, but I’ve heard a lot of hoarding stories.
Jee-eun thought she did a good job of stocking up on enough masks in advance.
Even if the corona virus subsides quickly anyway, since it contains heavy metals, it seemed that it could be used to block fine dust that is very harmful to the human body.
As the corona virus goes on for a long time, it seemed that the price could go up a little more due to hoarding.
