Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 107
A Few Days Later,
The Day Everyone Was Waiting For has arrived.
– Now, let’s go~
– Bang bang bang!
– Open the door, room master!!
Even though the broadcast hasn’t even started yet,
countless viewers are already urging me on.
– I took the day off to watch today’s broadcast.
– I’m watching it at work.
– You’re crazy.
With the hot heat that feels like it’s going to burn my face,
I swallowed a sigh and pressed the start button.
– Miju has started the broadcast.
“Hello everyone…”
As soon as the broadcast started, I conveyed a greeting full of insincerity to the viewers.
At that moment, a scream echoed in the chat room.
– Ahhhh!!!
– Heheh
– Whoa whoa whoa!!!
Seeing the viewers, who have now completely turned into beasts and cannot communicate, made the sigh I was holding back escape.
“Ha…”
The black vest visible in my peripheral vision only added to my worries.
The viewers, unaware of my feelings.
– Longchung donated 10,000 won.
[Waiting with a pounding heart!!]
– Duntang donated 10,000 won.
[Boo hoo, I’m a baby Mibungi, it’s dark and I can’t see anything.]
I voiced my thoughts to those who were urging me on.
“Just wait a moment.”
I calmed the viewers and finished the broadcast settings.
Light seeped through the previously dark screen,
and a beautiful woman appeared through it.
– Wow! This is it, this is it!
– Miju, so pretty!
– You’re in casual clothes today~
As they cheered at my revealed appearance,
of course, not everyone showed such a positive reaction.
– Longchung donated 1,000 won.
[Where’s the food…?]
– Duntang donated 10,000 won.
[Get lost! Clean the plate!]
Unlike the majority of viewers, a few people expressed negative reactions.
Looking at them, who were behind the times, I opened my mouth.
“Hey!”
I placed both hands on my hips.
And then I declared firmly.
“Calling it a plate! I’m a proper person, so please respect me!”
Virtual beings are just like us, living and breathing together.
The only difference is the world we live in.
“Inappropriate chats lacking virtual sensitivity can be a reason for a ban. Please be careful.”
– Wow, I’m so touched.
– You’re crazy.
– When did I ever become a Virtual YouTuber?
– You think your past will disappear just because you say that now?
Following my declaration, the haters’ chats came pouring in.
“Alright, let’s start the broadcast!”
I elegantly ignored all the criticisms.
And then, I began explaining today’s content.
“As you all know, today’s content is the Tactile Suit!”
– Heheh
– Come over here!!!
– Everyone, make sure to record it before the broadcast gets stopped~
– Thanks!
“But there might be some people in this room who don’t know what a Tactile Suit is.”
There may be people who don’t understand the viewers’ excitement.
– What… is that?
“I’ve prepared this for those people!”
Ignoring the bustling chat room, I pressed the button once.
Then, the screen changed, revealing a brief PPT.
“Hey, you can also learn about the Tactile Suit.”
The PPT featured familiar illustrations.
To help the viewers understand, I presented fresh material I created 10 minutes before the broadcast,
and the crowd cheered.
– Get rid of that stupid Bonobono, hahaha
– How can I read white letters on a blue background?
– The awkwardly written Gothic font is cute~
– I’m terrified!
Enjoying the viewers’ reactions, I nodded my head.
And after a moment, I began the serious explanation.
“First, let me talk about the background of the Tactile Suit!”
The Tactile Suit,
with a name that feels vaguely lewd,
was originally an expensive gaming device.
“There are a lot of shooting games among VR games, right? People certainly had some regrets while playing those games.”
As if I were John Wick himself, I described realistic game plays.
Initially, people were satisfied with this, but soon found its limitations.
“Perfect realism. However, only regarding sight.”
Humans use five senses to perceive reality.
Sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste.
“But if only sight is perfect, what reaction will people have?”
There will be various reactions.
Some people might be satisfied with this game,
while others might feel dissatisfied and leave.
“But the important people here are not either of those.”
The ones who stayed despite feeling dissatisfied.
They became the key to this topic.
“Those people fell into contemplation.”
Is there a device that can also stimulate me, beyond just sight,
and thus help me immerse even more?
“The result of that contemplation is precisely this Tactile Suit!”
The biggest feature of this suit is that it receives sound as input.
“For example, think about it: if a grenade exploded nearby.”
If a similar event happened in reality, shrapnel or the explosion’s aftershock would hit me.
And the Tactile Suit could emulate this aftermath similarly.
“The suit stimulates your body in sync with the explosion sound.”
The embedded pads in the suit emit low-frequency signals.
As a result, the user can achieve immersion as if they were standing on a real battlefield.
“This is the birth background of the Tactile Suit.”
A device created by gamers to elevate their satisfaction.
“If it had ended here, it would have remained a wonderful gaming device. But…”
Unfortunately, this device would later be used for entirely different purposes.
“You know the saying? The development of technology starts with p*rn.”
Initially, consumers who purchased it as a simple gaming device
gained a realization after several real uses.
‘Vibration…? Possible!’
It’s understandable, as occasionally when browsing the internet,
there are stories of people lying on the floor during an earthquake to feel the vibrations, right?
For such people, this suit that controls vibrations with sound might have been a groundbreaking device that would change their life paradigm.
“Thus, the gaming suit of the alpha males became an essential item for those with peculiar tastes…”
I paused my words for a moment.
And then, I looked at the reactions of those with peculiar tastes I had just mentioned.
– Pioneer, thank you…
– So it’s kind of like a lotto… right?
– You’re talking about the lottery, right? Hehe
– I want to slap a ton of stickers on Miju…
‘Hmm… crazy people.’
The conversations continue on an absurd topic.
Wanting to avoid being caught in the middle of it, I turned away from the chat.
Click,
I pressed the button again.
The PPT changed, revealing different content.
“Now that the background explanation is over, let me tell you about the next procedures.”
Well, the procedures weren’t anything grand.
“When you sponsor a video, the vibrations will come to me according to the sound in that video.”
If a quiet video, like a campfire ASMR, was sent, the vibration would be a light massage.
However…
“You wouldn’t do that, right?”
– Play the Heart Sutra remix!
– Do you prefer a pistol or a shotgun?
– Pro tip: high-frequency sounds are the most effective.
– ‘Miju’s waist bent like a bow.’
“Ugh.”
With the expected reactions, I sighed.
However, the rice was long since cooked and turned into food.
Accepting reality, I quietly lifted the suit beside me.
– An expert donated 10,000 won.
[So when does it start????]
“Just wait. I’m putting it on right now… ugh!”
During the process of putting on the equipment, a sudden pain surged.
At the same time, I realized one crucial fact.
“Guys, emergency! Emergency!”
– Why now?
– If you mess around with the glow-in-the-dark dinosaur, I won’t let it slide.
“Ta-da, it’s not a glowing T-Rex!”
Thinking this is not the time for jokes, I subdued my playful spirit.
And I conveyed an important fact to the viewers.
“This doesn’t fit size-wise.”
The zipper on the suit,
which had run smoothly on flat ground,
failed helplessly when faced with a huge mountain peak.
“What do I do?”
– Crazy, hahaha
– It is an important issue indeed;;
– Food issue, hahaha
– Just how big is it?
“What do I do? Should I just leave the bottom zipped?”
– Will it work like that?
“I wouldn’t know.”
I had lectured like an expert, but I too was a novice using the suit for the first time today.
There was no way I would have knowledge regarding such unforeseen situations.
“But what can I do? I have to make it work like that.”
If it were just a bit narrow, I would manage to squeeze it in somehow.
But…
‘This absolutely won’t do.’
The Jeep struggles as it barely climbs,
and the moment I let go of my hands, it slides back down.
“I’ll just wear the bottom part.”
– No, my food!!!
– I wanted to slap it according to the elasticity…
– Is this real life? Hahaha
Leaving that unfortunate incident behind, I shouted energetically.
“Then, shall we really get started now?!”
I set up the broadcast to open video donations.
At that moment, a donation blocked my way.
– A malicious person donated 1,000 won.
[But how do we trust you?]
“Excuse me?”
