Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 24

As a result of landing at the far end of an island, rather than in a major city where most people gather, I was able to finish the early looting without any battles.

“Now that I’ve done some looting, let’s find a car.”

While the outskirts allowed for stable looting like this, in the end, I had to dodge the approaching safe zone.

Thus, having a vehicle as a quick means of transportation and cover was essential.

During my wandering, I discovered a vehicle.

“I found a car for now.”

I briefed the location and headed for the vehicle.

It was an incredibly cool sports car to behold, but getting in was quite uncomfortable due to its low chassis.

As I twisted my body to get in, there was only the passenger seat visible.

This was a citation vehicle that was not suited for a cooperative game.

“This is the vehicle I found, this citation.”

I took out a map and checked the positions of my teammates.

The nearest player was number three.

“Player one! I’m coming to get you!”

However, my choice was player one, who was the farthest away.

I started the car and brushed past player three, who was running towards me.

“What are you doing? I’m right next to you!”

The shouts of someone echoed like a mirage behind the explosive speed of the sports car.

– hahahaha

– This is the worst bull I’ve seen so far.

– Didn’t that person just say they’d be first?

– Was the first place referring to the soup first? haha

– Duntang donated 5,000 won.

[Snipers, learn from this. That’s ‘real’.]

Even the malicious viewers were in awe.

The image of me, who used to troll in the past, was awakening inside me.

“Woohoo~ Player one is so cool~”

I moved away from the safe zone with Mari, who was in the passenger seat.

In the safe zone, I handed over all my items, including a level three bag, smoke grenades, and scopes.

“Oh, that crazy bull kid, really!”

When I turned to look at the sudden voice, I spotted player three, who was criticizing me from the passenger seat of another car he had gotten from somewhere.

“You’ll understand my feelings when you start dating.”

I continued to respond with my brazen attitude.

At some point, Mari, who was overwhelmed by my excessive concept, turned off her game mic and started communicating with the viewers.

– Mari=Love donated 10,000 won.

[I feel like they’ll never be able to date like that… hehe]

“Thank you for the donation. I don’t think that’s a suitable educational material to learn from.”

– Instead of dating, let’s file a lawsuit~

– Is appearance a narrative now? hahaha

– I would have reported them if it weren’t for the duo… haha

– Thinking about Miju’s body makes her seem really cute…

– Please stop saying weird names~

“Please refrain from mentioning other streamers.”

– The name might be similar, so it can be confusing~

– The current duo consists of a manly man weighing 190, 100, and 20~

– I get two of them, but what’s the 20?

– The man’s pride haha

The active chat room could be seen above the game screen.

The number of viewers, which had dwindled due to continuous crushing, was now bouncing back, nearing ten thousand.

However, the five-digit number did not easily allow itself.

‘It feels like just one spark will do!’

The viewer count, which was filling up to my chin, served as my target.

While searching for the detonator to blow this up, smoke rippled in front of my eyes.

“Oh, supply drop!”

A supply drop landed in the open field.

Under normal circumstances, I would have obviously ignored it.

Running recklessly without cover or checking the surroundings would be akin to s*icide.

“I can’t resist a supply drop!”

Yet, before I could even make a decision, player three jumped out of the car and ran towards it.

He was merely obscured by me, but his innate trolling instincts erupted fully.

– A common feature in public games: rush for supply drops.

– Here we go again.

– Ending up with second place again this match…

– I really hate players like that.

Player three’s trolling behavior, reminiscent of previous matches, soured the public’s opinion.

However, amidst that reaction, I could find a trigger to pump up the viewer count.

I stepped out of the car and drank an energy drink.

My body felt lighter with the surge of vitality.

“Then I’ll head out too.”

– ?

– Where is he going now?

Leaving the viewers’ questions behind, I ran.

Player three, who had been running ahead, had become a moving target long ago.

Reading the trajectory of the bullets, I searched for the enemy’s position.

“One by the northwest trees and one by the northwest rock.”

I briefed my teammates on the enemy’s position and aimed my g*n.

I had given all my scopes to Mari, so my g*n was a pure one with no attachments.

– Ratatatatat!

But I had eyes with performance beyond the scope’s magnification.

Considering the b*llet drop due to distance, I raised my g*n and shot.

Eventually, the k*ll log confirmed that the enemy had fallen.

– Wow!

– You’re really good at shooting!

– Those shots are for real bb

– How did you see that?;;

Even after hearing it numerous times, I felt no fatigue from the viewers’ admiration as I walked towards the supply drop.

Among the rustling leaves, a comrade in critical condition appeared.

“Let’s loot the supply first!”

“No, it’s you first.”

I continued speaking while treating player three, who lay down.

The protagonist had come into the fray to save a fallen ally.

This has always been an engaging narrative.

“We’re nakama (friends), right?”

“You crazy concept loser…”

Player three seemed speechless, moved by my presence.

I couldn’t hide my pride when I thought of the scene that would be broadcasted.

‘This should push us past ten thousand.’

Once the treatment was done, player three stood up.

He walked towards the supply with me.

“Please snipe!”

However, contrary to player three’s expectations, the supply drop only had a level one helmet remaining.

“I already took everything.”

“Oh, d*mn!”

– Thud

The dull sound of player three’s curse echoed with his inability to hold back.

I turned my head at the déjà vu I had felt in the previous match.

A black object neatly placed next to the supply.

– Boom!

– What a pity ㅠㅠ

– A grenade and a double k*ll hahaha

– With two trolls gone, it’s actually a profit haha

– So players two and three were sniped, right?

The last check of the viewer count showed it hitting fifteen thousand.

“Now let’s get serious.”

Finally, I heard Mari’s voice again as she turned on the game mic.

“Yes… I’m sorry.”

“Yes.”

Player three, sitting in the back seat, politely apologized along with me.

Giving Mari the smoke grenades before rushing in was a divine move.

Covering us with smoke while we crawled on the ground from the grenade, the remaining two returned to the car with the trolls.

Despite the major setback of the supply drop, we managed to maintain a squad of four.

“Don’t you think so too?”

I shared my thoughts with a friend who had also survived the front lines.

“Please don’t treat me the same…”

A cold reaction from a comrade I shared life and d*ath with.

Disappointed, I checked the viewers’ reactions.

– Saying that after making zero smoke grenades hahaha

– Is that what a streamer is…?

– If anyone blames the sniping from now on, show them this, okay?

– Duo is tougher than sniping haha

The viewers, who had been divided and unable to mix, were forming a grand unification.

– Mari=Love donated 10,000 won.

[Just get out and d*e JOAT]

At the same time, I heard the Chairman’s donation from Mari’s room.

Unlike his usual soft-spoken demeanor, his words had shifted to a tone familiar to me.

‘Hmm… what to do?’

I felt a pang of guilt as if I had corrupted an honor student.

As I reflected on my past actions and promised to be cautious moving forward, I heard an oath beside me.

“Oh… d*mn, is there no supply again?”

‘That guy is the problem!’

The shift in the Chairman’s tone and the fact that malicious viewers always flocked to my broadcasts was undoubtedly due to him.

“Ugh, bad guy.”

“? What are you talking about?”

I scolded player three, who was my comrade, while looking at the game.

Even though there hadn’t been a proper battle, only ten survivors remained.

“Let’s park right here, at the building I pinged.”

I examined the map and decided the game’s course.

In the previous match, we had been at a disadvantage after getting kicked out of the building.

This time, we were planning to take advantage of defending.

The car crashed into the building’s wall.

At the same time, we hopped out and threw a grenade.

– Bang!

However, the k*ll log didn’t show up.

I was certain that the enemy was on this floor once again as we entered the building.

“If anyone has grenades, throw them to this floor, and I’ll go in right away.”

“Roger.”

With a brief reply, Mari threw a grenade, and I heard footsteps trying to avoid it.

“Now!”

Taking advantage of the enemy’s confusion, we rushed to this floor.

I noticed they still hadn’t properly organized themselves.

– Tap

– Bang!

I took out one enemy with a shot to the head for each.

No opponent could match my instantaneous aim.

“Enemies below! Four of them!”

While I was eliminating the enemies above, player three was killed.

Another party that saw us encamped at the house rushed in from the back.

“Oh… I died too.”

When Mari fell as well, the game tilted heavily in favor of the enemies.

– Wow, you did well again this time!

– No way, is it second again?

– But the enemies played well.

– If A and B fight, C wins…

The chat from the viewers sensed our defeat.

However, it was still too early to give up.

“Let’s make the first move.”

The enemies would likely squeeze us slowly, taking advantage of their numerical advantage.

Now that was our last chance – a moment to drop our guard.

“I’ll go first!”

I jumped down the stairs and searched for the enemies.

I spotted an enemy who was trying to loot our team’s corpses.

– Bang!

Now, the great battle three.

The enemy, startled by the gunshot, hastily shifted their gaze.

– Tap

I finished them off before they could even aim.

This was great two.

I had no fear in equal numbers.

Eventually, enemies appeared from the restroom and kitchen.

– Click

I aimed my g*n when I saw them, but the lack of ammo hindered me.

– Ratatatatat!

At that moment, an enemy killed by player three from above.

In the midst of slipping sideways to check the enemy’s corpse, I found a g*n with no bullets left.

While I was stripping the fallen enemy of their loot, player three had fallen too.

But they had bought enough time for me to finish off the enemy.

Thankful for my comrade’s sacrifice, I aimed my g*n.

“Farewell, be my grief.”

– Bang!

The last b*llet pierced the enemy’s head, and the screen turned dark.

– Team rank 1st! –

– Finally!

– ㅠㅠ So much happened…

– The last part was really a mad movie moment.

– MijuLove donated 50,000 won.

[Hidden Mission! First place succeeded!]

– Miju=Love is…

“Wow… You filtered the concept and played so well…”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The hard-won first place emerged after overcoming various adversities.

Today, the chicken I won for the first time was incredibly sweet.

“Thank you all for your hard work. It’s thanks to your sacrifices.”

Especially, the sacrifice of player three was crucial.

While quietly playing the game without presence, they hit a home run.

Without them, we would have received a report card of this rank again.

“Especially, player three, you were excellent at the end.”

I expressed my gratitude towards them.

“Thank you! Miju’s broadcast, fighting!!”

At that moment, a female voice was heard.

– ??? She was a woman?

– Who is Miju!!

– It was a sniper, haha

– Three women were gaming with Bullsoos, haha

– If you’re jealous of player three, hit the like button haha ㅇㄷㄴㅂㅌ

For a moment, I was dumbfounded by the unexpected identity.

“Then, I’ll end today’s duo here.”

I heard Mari’s voice calling out the end.

– I’m fine if you want to do a bit more, haha

– Today’s stream was lengthy~

– ? It hasn’t been long since you turned on the stream;;

– I streamed longer elsewhere…

“Thank you for today’s efforts, Mari.”

“Yes, you too, Misu.”

With the closing greetings, the call ended.

– Miju=Love donated 10,000 won.

[So is this the end of the stream?]

“No, we will continue with Part 2 Broadcast.”

However, the day was not over yet.

Mari was preparing a Part 2 broadcast for the viewers who couldn’t watch mine.

And I also had remaining tasks.

“Let’s go check our rankings~!”

It was time to see the results of the day.
