Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 310

310. I’m This Kind of Person (1)

“They’re already calling you ‘Master’.”

Master.

That was a nickname Yeonwoo’s international fans had given him.

It stuck because Daniel kept calling him ‘Master’ this and that, and it resonated well with the fans.

The number of fans won over by Trevi or those who fell for Yeonwoo through Dramatic Tempest was already enormous.

They were making so much noise everywhere that people became curious about who this person was, causing an influx of new viewers.

Most easily accessible was Yeonwoo’s YouTube channel.

And they were impressed.

“Personally, I think it’s a very fitting title. It feels like you’ve mastered every field.”

The person hearing it felt awkward every time, but Chief Producer Gong only smiled contentedly.

“Even I can see that Yeonwoo just throws out a word or two, but it’s amazing how the UTT friends’ skills change every time. It goes without saying that the results are better.”

That’s because he knows exactly where the members are struggling.

Well, even if he didn’t have the ability, he could have figured it out.

If you pay attention and observe, you can easily read the other person’s tendencies.

Especially Yeonwoo, who was skilled at observing people, couldn’t possibly not know.

Since he pinpointed the most struggling parts, it was natural that there was a dramatic change before and after listening to Yeonwoo’s advice.

“The official account also has the highest number of views for the second competition video. The other clips are getting decent reactions, but that clip has the best reaction. It’s not just the production team who thinks so. So, I was wondering… it would be great if Yeonwoo could be a mentor in Season 2 as well. These days, Yeonwoo, you’ve been uploading a lot of your songwriting process videos. How about establishing yourself in this field entirely…?”

As Chief Producer Gong said, Yeonwoo had been uploading his personal works to YouTube whenever he had time.

‘Seungmin hyung [older brother/male friend] must be very enthusiastic.’

He was somewhat influenced by Lee Seungmin’s hard work.

Watching him makes you feel like you should live diligently.

It wasn’t a formal project, but just melodies that came to mind from time to time that he had fleshed out a bit, but somehow they saw it.

“I think you’ve already been contacted for songs…”

How did he know?

It’s just a main melody. But for some reason, they keep contacting him.

Asking for songs.

“What do they believe in me? I’m not a professional composer?”

What are they believing in to ask for songs?

Asking for a song that’s only partially complete.

‘What are they going to use an incomplete song for?’

When he asked, the names of quite famous singers were rattled off.

He thought the number of YouTube subscribers and views had increased dramatically, so the reaction was good.

Still, it was quite surprising.

Even more surprising was that he was contacted from overseas.

The one at the forefront was, of course, a familiar name, Trevi.

“I really hope you’ll seriously consider the Season 2 contract. We could create the second UTT. Yeonwoo himself could become a brand.”

It’s still a distant story, but if you take songwriting and producing more professionally and make a name for yourself, starting an entertainment company is a piece of cake.

When Yeonwoo asked if it was really that easy as it sounds.

“If the number of artists who want to contract to receive songs directly increases, that’s what becomes a company.”

Chief Producer Gong replied nonchalantly.

In fact, the heads of some of the leading giant entertainment companies have gone through almost similar routes.

Even if you start small, once you successfully produce and launch an artist, the rest is easy.

Chief Producer Gong, who was persistently trying to renew the contract with Yeonwoo, became quiet when the live broadcast time approached.

“The hyungs [older brothers/male friends] already. *Gulp*. Said everything. *Hic*. But I still want to say it too. Yeonwoo hyung [older brother/male friend]. Because of hyung [older brother/male friend]. *Sniff*. We’ve come this far. We’re lucky to have met hyung [older brother/male friend]. I think we’ve talked about Yeonwoo hyung [older brother/male friend] too much. *Sniff*. Everyone. It’s true. We wish hyung [older brother/male friend] could be up here with us, *Sniff*.”

“It seems the mentor has really helped UTT a lot. All five of them are taking turns talking about Kang Yeonwoo. It’s truly a heartwarming story of a mentor and mentee.”

On stage, UTT was still giving their acceptance speech with tears and snot.

It took a long time because they were talking while sobbing, but the atmosphere was warm.

‘It’s understandable.’

There was no malicious editing or encouragement of vile competition.

They didn’t create unnecessary issues to get footage.

There was no need to be hostile, and there was no reason to be on bad terms.

Even though it was a survival program, it was a competition in good faith.

‘To be more honest, they wouldn’t have had time to keep other teams in check.’

The participants just had to do their best to complete their given tasks.

There was no external pressure, manipulation, or so-called ‘producer’s pick’.

You just have to do your best, accept the results, and understand them.

That alone made the atmosphere very good.

There was voting to attract popularity and fandom, but the participating teams all knew about Chief Producer Gong’s inflexibility in not manipulating such things.

When the long acceptance speech ended.

The long-awaited alarm finally rang in Yeonwoo’s ear.

-Ting!

It was time to receive the reward.

-Ting!

[Mission: Win the competition! – Completed]

[Measuring the achievement level of the mission.]

-Ting!

[The mission has been perfectly executed!]

-Ting!

[Congratulations! A lifespan harvest fever time is awarded as a reward!]

[The amount of lifespan that can be harvested will be increased by 3 times for 10 days!]

The ringing alarm sound was loud.

Unlike the additional sudden missions, the completion message of the main request was solemn.

Golden letters floated in front of his eyes with sparkling effects.

After that, mini firecrackers and a fanfare rang out.

Yeonwoo checked the messages that were floating in front of his eyes in a daze.

‘Fever time.’

A smile appeared on his lips.

The reason why he worked so hard to make UTT win, even doing mental care that wasn’t in his nature.

It was fever time.

Of course, there was also the reason that he was drawn to UTT and wanted to help them sincerely.

Anyway, wasn’t the original purpose to get the fever time that would increase the harvest of lifespan by 3 times?

[Fever time is activated.]

[Remaining time: 9 days 23 hours 51 seconds]

And he succeeded brilliantly.

At the same time,

[Multiple automatic lifespan harvests have been completed.]

[Lifespan automatically harvested: 15 days]

[Multiple automatic lifespan harvests have been completed.]

[Lifespan automatically harvested: 39 days]

[Multiple automatic lifespan…]

[Automatically harvested…]

Notifications started popping up like crazy in the corner of his vision.

‘Nice.’

Along with the notification that fever time was activated, system messages appeared and disappeared like crazy in the corner of his vision.

‘The amount of lifespan coming in has definitely increased.’

He can only check the lifespan that is accumulating, but Yeonwoo deliberately turned off the alarm mute.

After all, isn’t it best to check the reward with your own eyes?

‘I don’t know when they’ll give me fever time again, so it wouldn’t be bad to check it out.’

With that thought, he turned off the alarm mute after a long time, and the satisfaction level was greater than expected.

Lifespan harvesting is a system that obtains a portion of the lifespan that people influenced by Yeonwoo might have wasted.

So that’s why.

‘Let’s not expect lifespan.’

General dramas or movies and survival programs are different in nature.

So Yeonwoo didn’t have high expectations.

‘Let’s focus on getting other results first.’

To explain it, limit breakthrough is like this.

One step back for two steps forward.

Or kneeling to gain momentum.

But surprisingly, the amount of lifespan harvested while running the program was quite high.

It was quite unexpected.

The numbers increased sharply whenever he coaxed and appeased UTT when they were messing up, but lifespan steadily accumulated at other times as well.

‘Is it the aftermath of influence?’

Dongja Ryung once said this.

[Then Yeonwoo, you yourself could become the purpose?]

He once said that the stronger the influence you exert on people, the greater the amplitude of emotions that act on their feelings.

If you positively change someone through his acting, words, and actions, you will get the reward. In the form of lifespan.

A very small portion of the lifespan that could have been wasted is paid to Yeonwoo as compensation.

[What do you mean? That’s exactly what you explained, right? You get lifespan from people who are influenced by you. Right? Isn’t that right?]

To shorten it, that’s what it was.

At that time, Dongja Ryung shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

[So, Yeonwoo, you can become the influence itself.]

At first, he thought it was nonsense.

-Dongja, you didn’t listen properly.

What’s the point of getting angry at a tiny hamster?

But that tiny hamster got angry at Yeonwoo.

[I understood it correctly?! It’s because Yeonwoo, you don’t know?! How many years of experience do I have in this field?! It’s already been over 30 years?!]

Yeah. Good for you for having a long career.

[There are things like that. It’s not necessarily that he has to do something good. It’s just that he gets better just by existing. He keeps acting and appearing on TV. Every time he sees him, he just gains strength.]

Is that possible?

[Why did they sell bromides in the old days? Why do they sell life-size figures or photo cards? It’s good just to look at them. He gains strength just by existing. That’s what a bias is.]

Dongja Ryung’s explanation was difficult to understand.

[Even if he wants to give up everything because he’s tired, he gains strength by looking at his bias. Even if he thinks about dying in this dirty world, he thinks it’s not worth dying yet because he has a bias. Even if he wants to give up everything, he watches one more of your acting scenes and waits for the works to come out. That itself becomes the driving force that sustains his life.]

‘Do they think of me that much? Really?’

He becomes the purpose of someone’s life.

It’s hard to believe.

Dongja Ryung’s answer to that was simple.

[It’s because Yeonwoo, you’re single.]

Isn’t it against the rules to suddenly hit the bone?

[So you don’t know anything. This is a very altruistic feeling. What would you, a fledgling who hasn’t even been in love yet, know? Tsk tsk. Don’t cause any accidents. Don’t disappoint the people who like you.]

Dongja Ryung scolded him, but Yeonwoo could accurately recall the emotions at that time.

It was a similar feeling to when he first became aware of the existence of fans.

A feeling that his heart was fluttering and full, and that someone was firmly supporting him.

He knew one thing for sure.

He should give back to the people who like him a little more.

And whenever that may be.

‘Why does that conversation suddenly come to mind?’

But if it wasn’t for Dongja Ryung’s explanation, lifespan wouldn’t have been harvested just by appearing on a variety show.

Lifespan from different sources is not grouped into one when displayed.

Therefore, it can be clearly distinguished from what comes in from the overseas broadcast of Dramatic Tempest.

‘Still… it’s satisfying.’

Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers makes him feel full.
