Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 111

Sensitivity 4,

the highest level supported by the tactile suit.

Before starting, I let out a breath.

“Hah… huff…”

The air escapes from my body.

The resulting empty space,

to fill the void, my muscles began to move.

“Huff…!”

Crack.

Strength surged from the tightly wound muscles.

A taut state of tension.

The preparation is perfect.

– When does it start?

– It looks like he’s drinking poisoned wine~

– It takes a while to cook the pancake~

Glup.

I swallowed dry saliva down my throat.

As I pressed the mouse with trembling hands, the video finally began.

In the video, a black screen appeared,

with only the prelude resonating softly.

“No way… is it vibrating already?”

A sound so subtle and small that it wouldn’t be heard if attention wasn’t paid.

However, the tactile suit at level 4 captured even these faint sounds, delivering stimuli to me.

– Haha, can you hear anything?

– It sounds like a drum…

– What does it feel like?

– My lower belly is making weird noises?

“It’s similar to the vibration at level 2…?”

Even at a small sound, there’s a vibration pounding in my belly.

But what if the sound gets louder…?

‘This is bad.’

Fear washes over me.

A chill creeps up my back.

It grew bigger,

grabbing me and

pulling me down, down.

‘S… save me…!’

Trembling limbs.

Shaking pupils.

Completely bound, I silently screamed.

In that moment,

Buddha appeared before me.

– ?

No, this isn’t a joke,

it’s real.

– ? What is that??

– Buddha is here, haha!

– Look at that shiny skin, haha!

– I just want to melt them all into gold bars, haha!

The Buddha revealed himself in the sponsored video.

Understanding my fear, he smiled softly,

and began to chant quietly.

– Mahāprajñāpāramitā~

The sound of the Heart Sutra filled the room.

– Bodhi-prajñā-pāramitā~

The Buddha’s voice dispelling evil energy.

When I regained my senses,

the fear that had bound me had already disappeared.

“Thank you, Buddha! I’ll repay you with a donation!”

‘If I get the chance!’

Knowing I couldn’t reach him,

I offered my thanks to the Buddha who saved me.

In that moment,

miraculously, a response came back from Buddha.

“Ugh…!”

I felt the Buddha’s touch caressing me.

Belly, sides, back,

and then back to my belly.

As the Buddha’s hands stroked my upper body,

I carefully spoke up.

“Um… nowadays, you’d get arrested for this…”

I didn’t know how it was when Buddha was alive,

but by current standards, this is clearly a crime.

Especially with the Buddha focusing on my abdomen,

I voiced my concerns.

“I’m scared of the law these days… ugh! If I shed even a tear, it’s all over for me… agh!”

Yet despite my worried words, Buddha did not stop.

Rather, as if to scold me for being bound by mortal perspectives,

he held me even tighter.

“Ahh!!!”

I screamed at the increasing grip strength.

In that moment, the rapidly scrolling chat room came into view.

– What is this saying??

– Looks like he’s having a hallucination, haha!

– Buddha hands up!

– Buddha is nailing the beat, haha!

Surprised by the strange reactions in the chat room, I turned to look at Buddha.

He smiled softly at me.

In his hands was a microphone,

and around his neck shone a golden chain.

“Well…?”

– Form is emptiness, emptiness is form~

The verses of the Heart Sutra continued to resonate,

in time with the beat of the drum-like woodblock.

“Ugh! Gack!”

To the lively rhythm of a club, my body twisted this way and that.

Laughter erupted from the watching viewers.

– Hahaha

– Who’s dying here?

– Miju’s waist is bent like a bow (this is real)

“Ugh, don’t laugh, s… save me…!”

I pleaded to the viewers.

But once again, all I received was ridicule.

– An expert donated 10,000 won.

[Someone said streamers wearing a tactile suit are all acting… Looks like Miju is too,ㅠㅠ]

– Duntang donated 10,000 won.

[Acting is really good, haha, might get a best actress award]

– ㅇㅇ donated 5,000 won.

[Whew… don’t roll your eyes like that;;]

Countless mockeries flowed in from the viewers.

Yet, I could make no rebuttal.

“Guhguhgack…”

The ongoing vibrations,

having lost control of my body, I was swaying like a balloon.

– Mūjī sādhu~

After what felt like a year of one minute, the video finally ended.

“Hueck… heeek…”

Gasping, I barely found peace.

However, the viewers would not allow me even a moment of tranquility.

– Hurry to the next video, let’s go!

– No time to rest.

– You have over 100 videos pending, you know?

– Let’s raise the turnover rate!

The viewers relentlessly urged me on.

In response, I spoke weakly.

“Really… I’m really dying…”

My whole body felt like it had been hit by a fist.

Even the slightest change in posture brought about pain,

and I curled up like a turtle.

“Huuh… huuh…”

Slowly exhaling, I tried to calm my muscles.

As a result, the trembling throughout my body gradually lessened.

“Huff!”

With a shout, I cautiously tried to straighten my back.

In that moment,

as if waiting, a question came from a viewer.

– Mimono donated 10,000 won.

[Are you struggling a lot? ㅠㅠ]

– Akjil donated 1,000 won.

[Try reviewing level 4.]

Contrasting,

yet similar questions.

I answered them in one word.

“This thing… it’s just a crazy device.”

“No… you didn’t say it was like this!”

Having somewhat collected myself, I began to unleash my anger towards the viewers.

“You said it felt good?! That my lower belly is making weird noises!!”

If by “weird noises” they mean that my abs are flexing…

Then surely, my belly was making those noises.

“It hurts, d*mn it, it hurts!”

The parts where I received the Buddha’s hands are still aching.

Yet, even in the face of my genuine anger, the viewers simply laughed it off.

– Hahaha

– Ah, stop whining too much~

– This is all acting, right?

“Acting? Does this look like acting now?”

‘Feels like my whole body is bruised, does this seem like a joke?’

If I could,

I wanted to show them my skin, which was flushed red under my clothes, as proof.

However, that would only be the action the viewers desired.

Thus, I bit my lip and held back my impulses.

‘I will never do what you want!’

After the harsh torture, all that was left in me was venom.

With burning eyes, I began my persuasion for sensitivity readjustment.

“This feels strange. I think it’s broken.”

Just a moment ago, it was at level 2, and now it’s at level 4.

Just a two-level increase, and the difference is this huge?

“It feels like it has been raised not just by two, but ten levels… this doesn’t make sense.”

– Is the machine accurate? Or are you accurate?

– The intensity might increase exponentially.

– Didn’t you hear that the stock trader doesn’t know logarithmic growth?

The viewers immediately refuted my words.

In response, I presented one more argument.

“And if there’s a sensitivity adjustment function, normally you’d choose the middle. Who would be crazy enough to select maximum?!”

When turning on an air conditioner,

or when heating,

most people choose the middle; very few would recklessly crank it up to the max.

“This is a feature designed for a very specific purpose, meant to be used minimally!”

My argument based on common sense resonated.

However, the viewers quickly rebutted again.

– An expert donated 10,000 won.

[Others have done it all at level 4 too~ You seem to be whining excessively~ Or not~]

A shocking truth I just learned.

I questioned the viewers again.

“Wait, you really did it at level 4? Seriously?”

– Yup.

– The standard is level 4.

– What, are you going to let them off easy because it’s another room? Haha.

“So, you all endured this pain?”

– That’s right;;

– Unlike you, I didn’t even scream.

– N- instead, I let out groans. Ugh.

– Everyone else is just acting, haha.

‘What is this?’

You all just said you endured that pain?

‘Even groaned in front of the viewers?’

“Are you all really masochists…?”

– What?!

– Unfiltered views…

– Miju’s words) Everyone except me is a masochist.

– Shall we go correct the discipline of these masochists?

The viewers erupted into a flurry of speculation from my slip of the tongue.

I ignored their reactions,

and played another video.

Thump.

The drum sound resonated.

And,

“Squeee!!”

– Why does it sound like a pig being slaughtered? Haha.

– Was this the original content? Haha.

– Pure fun, haha.

– Ah, my stomach hurts, haha.

Thud.

Hastily halting the video, I shouted.

“It hurts, doesn’t it!!!”

Thinking maybe it was a misconception on my part, I conducted an experiment.

The result was a huge success.

– Hahaha

– Who said it doesn’t? Haha.

– He’s doing it again, haha.

– Foolish~ one.

As the viewers’ mocking continued, I puffed up with indignation.

“Get out, get out! Everyone just go away!!!!”

– No.

– No.

– Bing.

– Yeah~ You can remove me 200 times, haha.

The viewers mocked my display of anger even more.

No matter how much I got mad, nothing changed.

– An expert donated 10,000 won.

[Is that all done?]

– An expert donated 10,000 won.

[Then… I guess you’ll have to watch the other 100 videos too?]

“Please save me.”

The foolish streamer kneels like this.
