Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 18

The number of viewers surpassed five thousand just ten minutes after the broadcast started.

Although it was a surge due to a large guest, Miss Pi, who updates her high points with every broadcast, was a point of pride for me.

“Did you all wait for me?”

Mixing a bit of exaggeration into my bright voice, I greet the viewers with joy over the number of viewers.

It’s natural to be drawn to someone bright rather than someone angry.

I try to maintain my image while paying attention to this.

– Me

– Rock

– Me

– (N/A)

– Rock

However, despite my efforts, the chat room is already ablaze.

I felt a sense of confusion towards the viewers who were angry from the start.

“Everyone…? I just turned on the broadcast, where did all this anger come from?”

– You, you fucking b*tch

– Did you forget about us abandoning you last time…?

– You said you’d turn on the cam!!!

– Ugh… I’m as angry as I would be over five hamburgers

Through the viewers’ replies, I grasped the source of their anger.

The last broadcast, where I promised to turn on the cam and suddenly turned it off.

I understood the viewers’ complaints, but I had my own excuses as well.

“No, please understand a little. To a small streamer like me, a big corporate streamer is like a god, or even more!”

– Why should I?

– Hm… Is that the level?

– Small streamer (five thousand viewers)

– Honestly, isn’t Mari just a has-been? lol

(This message was blocked by the moderator.)

“Disparaging other streamers will result in a ban.”

I block the viewer who crossed the line and glance at Mari sitting beside me.

She remained quiet, seemingly not wanting to interfere, observing how I handle the broadcast.

“And everyone, think about it. If you were investing and suddenly the chairman of Samsung tells you he has good news, wouldn’t you want to go out?”

– d*mn, I’d go out even in my underwear.

– What crime does the chairman commit by watching that…?

– I’d probably go out just to see your face, haha

“You’re all the same! My feelings were exactly like that! Now you all understand, right?”

– No?

“If you don’t understand, leave. You b*stard.”

Just one minute after deciding to maintain a bright concept, my mask shattered in response to the viewers’ reactions.

– Defcon emergency! Emergency!

– Uh oh, the true nature is coming out.

– Is that the day?

“Anyone not understanding?”

– I empathize, it hurts ㅠㅠ

– If you’re going to convince us, at least turn on the cam, you b*stard

– I think they would understand if you notified us about food first (sneaky)

Amidst the bustling chat, I noticed chats related to the cam.

“Do you all really like the cam that much?”

– You’ll understand once you become a man, lol

– I’ve been waiting for the cam since the last broadcast ㅠㅠ

– Our child has been starving for too long…

As soon as I spoke, chats started pouring in.

I felt grateful for the viewers who waited for me.

“If it’s that great, there are many other cam rooms besides me.”

Yet, a blunt remark slipped out before I realized it.

– If you just show it, it’s no fun.

– What I want to see is ‘you.’

– There’s no one as big as you;;;

– An irreplaceable woman… that’s what makes it so frustrating…

The fact that there are viewers who seek only me gave me a thrilling pleasure.

I couldn’t help but smile to myself.

“Hehe, well, I can’t help it! I’ll turn on the cam right away, so please wait a moment!”

– Wow, bliss

– We’re living in the era of Miju!

– Our child also jumped up because he’s happy (sneaky)

– Did that happen? (just kidding~)

I manipulated the broadcast program to send the cam feed.

Now, the two puppies that I had become familiar with appeared on the screen.

– Ugh… it’s that outfit again…

– Mari, you didn’t originally wear that kind of clothes…

– Wow, does that mean today’s is twice as good?

– They look like they’ll feed all the viewers well;;

– It’s the Korean version of the five loaves and two fish, whoa

“Are you asking for it, but the reaction is ambiguous? Should I just turn it off?”

– No no no no

– Which b*stard said something full?

Watching the same person flip their words like turning their palm over in real-time was quite enjoyable.

“Just kidding~ I’ll keep it on until we end the broadcast, so everyone, please don’t leave your seats and enjoy~”

– You’re a sly woman…

– This woman is a GOAT at just showing her flesh

– Yes… Teacher

Wrapping up my chatter with the viewers, I started the scheduled broadcast.

“Alright! The first part of today is a QnA session with Mari! The topics you all have been curious about! I’ll ask them for you!”

– Anything? (sneaky)

– Look at the camera and introduce yourself

– If you two fought, who would win?

“First, let’s welcome Mari. Everyone, give a round of applause~”

– Wow, clap clap clap

– Tsk tsk tsk tsk

– Wow;; it’s shaking

– Wobble wobble

Although chats still contained s*xual harassment, the broadcast was progressing as I intended.

Just as I was feeling relieved,

– Majinyo donated one thousand won.

[Please clarify the dating rumor]

Crisis suddenly struck.

“…What?”

I checked the donation message while glancing at the expressions of those beside me.

She maintained a blank expression as if it was something that had nothing to do with her.

As I turned back to the chat room,

– Let’s go, let’s go

– Get rid of the trolls;;

– Mari will meet an alpha male, unlike you, loser.

– Oh, was part one a disaster show?

I could see viewers who were heavily agitated.

– Majinyo donated one thousand won.

[What are you doing every night to be so sleepy during broadcasts?]

– Majinyo donated one thousand won.

[Who did you meet on your birthday to start broadcasting so late?]

– Ah, a patriot?

– They say you’re making history, haha

– “A scenery that others can’t see”

Donations continued without stopping.

And the atmosphere in the chat also shifted negatively in response.

‘I need to change the atmosphere.’

Among the thousands of viewers, only a very few were genuinely angry.

The remaining viewers were just following others’ actions.

– Ooh, donated ten thousand won.

[Isn’t it a bit absurd?]

Using a secondary account to donate.

The amount of the donation is a representation of power.

Seizing control through a higher amount than others.

“I think the same way! Everyone, let’s think logically.”

Of course, I knew they wouldn’t listen even if I spoke logically.

“Is sleeping evidence of dating? Then during your school days, did you all have relationships?”

– Ugh

– Suddenly being shot at indiscriminately…

– A national gathering of people who can’t sleep;;

– Honestly, just because you were sleepy, it doesn’t mean dating is absurd, right?

“Being late on your birthday? There are many people who take breaks, but isn’t it a stretch to think they made time for the viewers despite that?”

– Seriously, taking a break on your birthday or Christmas is a national rule

– There’s even a separate list for breaks on birthdays, haha

– Too many breaks to become a broadcast list now, haha

“Do you all think so too? This is just full of absurdity.”

Through forced logic, I was able to gain a perfect advantage in public opinion.

However, the opponent wouldn’t just sit still.

“Cut off those absurd trolls immediately!”

Blocking their chance to rebuttal through blacklisting.

– Hahahaha

– If you blocked me, I guess you have to d*e~

– Those bastards would just make dog jokes about you when you talk about manipulation, it serves them right, haha

“Now that we’ve dealt with that random quest, let’s return to the broadcast!”

I brought out the prepared personal information about Mari.

“Mari, her real name is undisclosed, born on September 19, 2001! And her favorite letter is E!”

– Wow

– ? What about the letter?

– It’s a breast size

– Ah, I see!

“She was an athlete during her school days but switched to dance due to a specific part! Later, she started broadcasting upon a friend’s suggestion and is now a major streamer with an average of four thousand viewers!”

– I think I know which specific part it is, haha

– Highly recommended~

– High school recommendation

“Is there anything incorrect in the above mentioned?”

“Nothing.”

“Then I will ask the first question!”

– Ooh, donated ten thousand won.

[How did you two meet?]

“Oh, good question! Is it okay if I answer?”

Of course, this was also a question sent by my secondary account.

The broadcast follows the script that had already been decided before.

This was a smokescreen donation to hide that fact.

“Yes, it’s fine.”

“Then please tell us about our first meeting!”

With Mari’s deep voice starting, we began enacting a short skit.

“Three days ago, I received a request regarding installing broadcast equipment.”

“Is such requests common?”

“Yes, since most of the equipment I use is what I procured myself, I often get similar requests.”

“Surely, each piece of equipment is of very high quality!”

“Thank you. The house where I went to install the equipment was actually Miju’s house.”

“So the requester was one of our room sponsors.”

“That seems to be the case. After that, I was contacted by someone saying there was a person streaming about me.”

“Was that me?”

“Yes, that’s correct. Miju was streaming about me, and I had an interest in her, so I suggested a joint broadcast.”

“Essentially, our sponsor was the Cupid of love!”

The conversation concluded as if reading from a textbook, with unfamiliar acting.

I looked at the chat room to see their reactions.

– ? When was three days ago?

– September 19.

– That was Mari’s birthday, right?

– Oh, right?

– Ooh, donated one thousand won.

[Oh is that what ‘dating’ is?]

– They do seem to suit each other, mainly the br*asts

– Ah, a declaration of public dating~

– The polar bear loses its home again today…

The final tidbit that had been wrapped up was reignited.
