Chapter 255
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘I Only Wander Around Top 10 Channels’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[Being ranked 1st doesn’t mean you should play the ads for so long. I almost died from boredom.]
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘A Good Season for Eating Ozthere’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[What were you doing during those long ads? Theresa, why is your hair all undone? And your lips look chapped if I’m not mistaken~?]
Is this why he told me to fix my hair?
I didn’t respond to the constellations’ messages and began to braid my loosened hair. It seemed better to let them talk rather than offer awkward excuses.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Ozworld Dating Ban’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[The speculation is disgusting
ㅋㅋ
. He probably did something about those crazy antis crashing servers recently
ㅋㅋ
. Why would Ozworld bother with a human BJ like this?]
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Block Angler’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[Bye bye~]
Ding!
[Channel Manager-Ozworld has blocked Constellation ‘Ozworld Dating Ban.’]
Then, constellations reacted with satisfaction.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Bet Your Life on Theresa’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[That’s been annoying me for a while, so refreshing.]
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Boarding on Ozthere Ship’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]
[Look at him blocking the constellation that harassed Theresa. If this isn’t love, what is?]
I stared at the name Ozworld in the blocking notification and then looked away.
“…”
There was a faint smile around my mouth that no one else could notice.

“You’re here, Mr. CEO.”
Ozworld loosened his tie as he entered the CEO’s office and asked the employee. “What’s going on?” His brow was subtly furrowed, though he hadn’t realized it.
“A bill has just been proposed stating that channel managers cannot appear as characters in broadcasts.”
Even if the proposal passed, it wouldn’t matter if Chairman Alpha didn’t approve it. The fact that it was reported meant there were other issues involved.
“Additionally, the chairmen have demanded that Mr. CEO be removed from your position. They want you to step down from the position of chairman or to stop being a channel manager.” The employee added with some embarrassment. “These are what your fans demand, as well as the antis, so it might be hard to refuse.”
Ozworld responded calmly. “I’ll resign from the Chairman Alpha position.”
This would naturally lead to the passing of the bill, which stated, ‘Channel managers cannot appear as characters in broadcasts.’ Ozworld thought it might be for the best.
“It will take time for the bill to pass and come into effect. Report that the bill targets me, and spread the word in the community that I won’t be appearing on broadcasts anymore.”
The employee, genuinely impressed, agreed. As expected of someone who had lived as Pantheon’s troublemaker for a long time, he turned crisis into opportunities.
Ozworld opened the system window to check the buzz on the <BJ Villainess> channel. The broadcast still held the number one spot, but the real concern was how many coins it could generate.
“Use the bill as a marketing point and drive traffic to its maximum.”
“Yes, Mr. CEO. Also, I checked on the progress of the dragon twins’ mission you asked about, and they have yet to complete it.”
Ozworld rubbed his eyes in silence.
Unlike their usual performance, the dragon twins were taking too long with this mission. He couldn’t visit Signio, where his past self existed, which made him feel frustrated.
Ozworld nodded slowly and then asked about something that suddenly came to mind. “What about the dungeon?”
“It’s in the final testing phase.”
This wasn’t good news either. The deadline for the dungeon had been pushed back due to a strange group meddling with the servers.
“The person with the black butterfly mask…” He was sure it was that man, but catching him was proving difficult.
Ozworld unconsciously rubbed the arm where he had been attacked by the man with the black butterfly mask. A man using abilities that couldn’t exist in this world.
He seems to be one of the 12 knights.
“I see. You may leave.”
Ozworld dismissed the employee and went to the dock where his personal aircraft awaited. He was ready to return to <God’s Play> and intended to resign as chairman immediately.
The aircraft lifted off and sped towards its destination. Ozworld looked out the window with a bored expression. Pantheon’s many billboards were as noisy as ever.
[Ozworld makes history again in Pantheon! Where does it end?]
[Is it okay to leave Pantheon’s troublemaker, Ozworld, as Chairman Alpha?]
As usual, the headlines were divided in their assessment of him, sparking debate. Below them, antis called for his expulsion, forming a sea of red.
The influence of a single channel manager was immense. But it was possible because it was Ozworld.
[Ozworld, the ‘Rule Creator.’ Is he the protagonist of a new bill again?]
“Rule Creator,” Ozworld smirked at the headline, clearly released by his own company.
Pantheon had many broadcasting rules, many of which existed because of Ozworld. That’s how rules work, right? Only after a problem arises do people realize the need to address it.
Ozworld turned away from the trivial matters and stopped at a point of interest. The main billboard was broadcasting the <BJ Villainess> channel. It was a scene where Theresa, who returned to the Sun Palace and was reporting to Euges, but Ozworld kept focusing on her lips. Still swollen from their intense kiss, her lips had not yet returned to normal. Ozworld chuckled as he touched his own lips.
How much time had they wasted on useless skinship that wouldn’t even be broadcasted? The long ads had annoyed constellations, leading to a loss in viewers, which was ridiculous. But if given the chance, could he have refused Theresa again?
Ozworld shook his head, unwilling to entertain the thought. Today, his self-control felt particularly unreliable.
Soon, the aircraft landed at the channel management docking station. Reporters, already alerted to his arrival, swarmed eagerly.
Vermin. Ozworld felt an unusual sense of ennui towards what he normally regarded with detached amusement. It was frustrating. Pantheon always provided new stimuli, but now he was bored with the concept itself.
“Is it true you’re resigning as Chairman Alpha?!”
“We heard you won’t appear on broadcasts anymore! Will you focus on being a channel manager again?”
“When will you bring Theresa back to Pantheon?”
Ozworld, moving into the building, suddenly muttered. “Am I thinking of settling down?” He looked up at the omnipresent billboards.
<BJ Villainess> was broadcasting everywhere since it was currently number one. So it wasn’t hard to spot Theresa. Just in time, she was kissing Euges with the same lips that had shared breaths with him.
Ozworld laughed involuntarily. The reporters sensed the odd atmosphere and paused their flashing cameras, exchanging glances. Then Ozworld spoke to the reporters.
“Since Miss Theresa has finally interacted with all four male leads, I thought it was my turn. But the recent bill is a bit unfortunate.”
The reporters swallowed nervously, waiting for his next words.
“But I’ll try my best.” For some reason, he felt like trying.
That’s why people say you never know how life will turn out.
