Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 28

Roulette Broadcast.

It has become a common sight on Twitch since some time ago.

When viewers donate certain keywords, the streamer combines them to create a roulette.

After that, the completed roulette is spun, and the streamer performs the result in a simple manner.

And as one might expect from the description above,

“Most of the roulette contents are a minefield.”

From the viewers’ perspective, it’s a gacha-type broadcast that includes not only donations but also random probabilities.

In return for this psychological reward, streamers often send content they would never typically do.

That’s why roulette broadcasts are mostly reserved for punishment-type content.

It’s a type of broadcast that regular streamers tend to avoid.

“Oh, I really didn’t want to do this!”

Of course, I was also included in that category.

“My viewers are particularly malicious… I never know what they’ll make me do.”

Most of them come from communities similar to mine.

To them, crossing the line seemed like a natural part of behavior.

Despite this, there was indeed a reason I presented this type of broadcast.

“Since I’ll just have to perform one out of countless keyword hits.”

If it meant performing only one specific content instead of all, I had a method in mind.

Glimpsing to the left, the familiar broadcast lit up on my mobile phone.

“Please take care of me, my partner!”

I will let you experience the bitter taste of cycling trades.

“Then let’s start the second part with a minimum amount of 1,000 won. The restrictions are no face reveal and no suggestive content!”

– Let’s go~ Let’s go~

– Oh man… Ruin… I’ve been waiting for today.

– Was there ever a time we felt good while mocking us?

As soon as the second part commencement was declared, the viewers’ chats started pouring in.

Cold sweat trickled down at the obviously hostile reactions.

“Everyone… shall we play a calm game of Minecraft together?”

I suggested a game that could change the atmosphere for a more relaxed enjoyment.

Moreover, this kind of content, where not just I but also the viewers can enjoy together, acts as a sort of cheat key.

If it had been a different broadcast, I could’ve expected positive responses.

– No, we absolutely will not do that.

– The pain we’ve endured until now…!

– If it’s real Minecraft, I would acknowledge it.

However, the responses from the viewers were nothing but cold.

“No, what kind of pain are you talking about! If it’s hard for you, I was the one suffering!”

I expressed my grievance while reading the chats.

From liquidation to the end of the broadcast.

The dazzling career I had experienced in such a short period passed by like a panorama.

– Juju is suffering ㅎㅎ

“Get out before I cut you off!”

At that moment, a sexually harassing chat appeared, leaving me deflated.

I lamented the foolishness of having tried to persuade such individuals in the past when suddenly

– Duntang has donated 10,000 won.

[For now, let’s enjoy it until tomorrow? 24-hour no ending, let’s go!]

“Yes?”

A horrifying donation came right from the start.

– Wow~ this is amazing

– Let’s be together a long time~

– It seems we can play Minecraft together for 24 hours! ㅎㅎ

My surprise contrasted with the overwhelmingly positive chat.

With no choice left, I had to add no ending to the list of rewards, and the orange-hued roulette caught my eye.

In this state, no matter how many times I spun, the result was bound to be the same.

“Um… everyone? Isn’t a payment system a bit risky in Korea?”

I cautiously suggested the nomination of a different candidate.

– Yes, 10,000 won has been donated.

[Let’s unite the candidates~ Add no ending!]

At that, my suggestion seemed to stir up the rebellious spirit, leading to even more donations solidifying the one-payment premise.

“No! If we spin now, it guarantees no ending! This isn’t roulette!”

– But?

– It’s already a no ending, shall we just overlook the roulette?

– I support that.

I was dumbfounded by the viewers, who acted in unison only in times like this.

– The habitual ending reward has been donated by someone for 10,000 won.

[Added “No ending”~]

…

Yet, even after that, the supportive orange donations kept piling up.

I couldn’t avoid it. I had intended to act once the roulette was filled to a certain extent, but…

“Let the hellish broadcasts commence.”

To avoid making the same mistakes as in the past, I first checked to make sure the cam was off before writing my donation message on my mobile phone.

The keyword was ending.

“If there’s no no ending, then there must be an ending too…!”

I hadn’t planned to go this far, but it was your prodding that got me here.

As I finished my inner rationalization and was about to press the donation button,

– Miju Love has donated 500,000 won.

[Love the Minecraft broadcast!]

The sudden fanfare echoed in the air.

“Oh! Miju Love, thank you for the 500,000 won donation!”

Once again, the Chairman’s contribution saved me.

Moreover, the amount was the largest sum I had ever received.

– Ah… that guy again

– You little…

– No way, it means Minecraft is included for 24 hours, right?

– I’m starting to like you…

The viewers began to blame the Chairman as their plans fell apart.

“Yup~ I’m supporting the Chairman~”

Mocking them, I added the Minecraft broadcast to the roulette.

Instantly, the purple color dominated the roulette.

– Someone please make that Pac-Man open its mouth…

– Thinking about it, a Minecraft segment doesn’t seem too bad, does it?

“Um! Should we finish the Minecraft segment by slaying the dragon?”

The chat gradually shifted from accusations to pleas.

As I observed this, I relaxed and started planning the third part of the broadcast.

With victory seemingly confirmed, I basked in my confidence when

– Duntang has donated 100,000 won.

[“I can’t bear to watch you feel comfortable. Let’s go for a bizarre food challenge~”]

A bombshell donation arrived.

“If it’s bizarre food… you’re talking about mint chocolate, right?”

Typically, the punishment foods eaten during broadcasts are at the level of mint chocolate or Hawaiian pizza.

– Let’s spin the roulette for that too?

– Let’s go for rock pot stew~

– I’ve been curious about stinky tofu since way back.

– Sending the sour milk trim ㅇㅇ;;

However, our viewers had spread out globally.

– Forbes’ top 10 hated foods<-- Look it up.
- Wow, are you really going to eat that?
- Surprisingly, some of those don’t sound bad.

The chat was ignited with excitement over bizarre food, yet purple still dominated the roulette.

Compared to that, the rest were just a handful.

"Do you get it? Little dicks."

- What? Is that what you're saying;;;
- I support you, unnie ㅠㅠ
- Fact: If you have a good figure, you won't get support.

- Gambling Dog has donated 10,000 won.

[Since the unity is failing, let’s add a "two-hander!"]

"Um~ two-hander isn’t bad at all. Especially, smashing those heads is quite enjoyable!"

- A stupid girl...
- Yup~ I'm poor, so I don’t split my head open~

Adding two-hander caused it to become even more colorful.

"Now it looks like a roulette!”

Of course, purple still reigned supreme, making it the most satisfying feature.

- Boob Expert has donated 50,000 won.

["How about a Ring Fit broadcast? (sly)"]

At that moment, a donation broke the majority ratio.

“Thank you for the 50,000 won donation! Ring Fit sounds great! By the way, Mari had set up some Ring Fit equipment for broadcasting!”

It was indeed one of the contents I had thought about in the past.

For someone like me, with strength and endurance at a level from a different world, Ring Fit was the perfect game to highlight my advantages.

- Please point the cam up from below (sly)
- I want to d*e under your b*tt...
- Bouncing bouncing bouncing (no subject)

However, the chat’s reactions were different from what I had imagined.

I realized one thing from this.

My inner idea of Ring Fit had just become a content I would never pursue.

"First, I’ll ban everyone who just chatted, and then we’ll start."

Instantly, the three voices flew away.

- It’s bait!
- I won’t forget you this time, Hotblood!

After that, the declarations of candidacies continued.

Just as I began to feel anxious about the gradually diminishing share of purple,

"Shall we start spinning the roulette soon?"

- Yes.
- Please, bizarre food, please bizarre food.

"Then, I will close it here!"

With the viewers' approval, I concluded the election.

The current state of the roulette was a tripartite division.

The Minecraft broadcast may be consuming the largest portion, but no ending and bizarre food broadcasts showed a considerable rate of support as well.

"Please! Just not bizarre food!"

I prayed as I spun the roulette.

As I focused intensely, I began reading the words on the spinning roulette.

"First, let’s skip bizarre food..."

The timing for pressing the stop button was entirely up to me.

Confirming that the marker reached the Minecraft broadcast, I pressed the stop button.

"Now!"

The timing was perfect.

The physicality I had built up through coins was showcased.

However, against my plan, the roulette did not stop and kept spinning.

"No! I pressed it, so why isn’t it stopping!!"

- Did you fall asleep in science class?
- There’s something called inertia in this world~

"What data fragment has inertia! I pressed it accurately!”

For now, I put my grievances aside and monitored the roulette's movement.

Eventually, the needle came to a halt at

- Immediately End Broadcast! -

A 0.01% chance donation from a secondary account.

"Uh...?"

- ???
- Give
- How did that come out???

Right?

I too was at a loss for words in this absurd situation.

It was just a donation I had placed for fun.

I never imagined I would actually win.

It was clear as day that if it came down to actually ending the broadcast, public opinion would explode.

However, I couldn't just accept the outcome either; I felt at a loss in a situation where I was stuck with no way out.

- If you didn’t shout "challenge," it’s invalid!

At that moment, one chat caught my eye.

My brilliant mind quickly devised a solution to navigate this situation.

"What do you mean challenge; I’ll be heading off now~"

I started WWE with the viewers.
