Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 34

The eerie tale that sent shivers down my spine ended in a rather pathetic conclusion.

– Duntang donated 1,000 won.

[What? Didn’t they stop donations?]

A donation from a viewer who shared the same question as me. Through this, I was able to realize the truth of the situation.

“It seems I didn’t turn it off…”

Today, the stack of mistakes was piling up fiercely. A moment of reflection was fleeting, as viewers who felt the opportunity began to go wild.

– Did you open it again? Money rats…

– Turn on the cam for money~ Give me a manager~ What else can it be if it’s not a female streamer?

– You wouldn’t just overlook it because you received money, right?

My body flinched at the chat that precisely pierced my innermost feelings. That said, I couldn’t aim my g*n at the shaking Chairman. I decided to add a special menu to resolve this situation.

┌──────────┐

☆Today’s Menu☆

10,000 won 5 minutes on cam!

30,000 won Viewer Slaughter!

-> 10,000 won

(Special Sale!!)

1,000,000 won ☆Special Indulgence☆

└──────────┘

“Alright, everyone can do it! I’m selling absolution for just 1,000,000 won!”

If fairness is an issue, then just add a menu that everyone can buy.

– Who would buy that for 1,000,000 won? lol

– Just keep collecting all your life~

– What we lost was not Miju’s money, but our money…

I find myself agreeing with the viewers’ opinions. They talk about fairness, but who would be crazy enough to buy this for 1,000,000 won? In reality, no one would pay that kind of money just for a cyber slaughter, not even for actual sniping.

– Hyeri♥Jihun donated 1,000,000 won.

[Thank you… Sensei…]

That’s what I thought.

“What?”

The sudden additional donation of 1,000,000 won. The shock was greater since it wasn’t from a viewer I usually see.

– Is he really dropping that? lol

– Isn’t that the Chairman of Hyeri’s room?

– Oh lol, don’t you know ‘More Money, More Benefits’? lol

– How did he even find his way here, given the different platforms? lol

While I was flustered by the unfamiliar nickname, the viewers immediately recognized the identity. I realized the donor’s identity through their chats.

– Hyeri♥Jihun donated 50,000 won.

[Huh… How can a person live on just water?]

– That’s right, lol

– The GOAT who even mesmerizes the Chairmen of other broadcasts…

– Chairman, won’t you get scolded by Hyeri?

– Hyeri♥Jihun donated 50,000 won.

[I held back from donating out of fear of being scolded… What should I do? I have to live first, even if I get scolded.]

It seemed that the words of restraint were indeed true, as the donations continued without pause. A barrage of jabs came in so swiftly that I hardly had a moment to breathe.

“Wait! Stop the donations! I’ll give you a manager, so please communicate via chat.”

Money is good, but I always care about the atmosphere of the broadcast. Occasionally large donations can be events that allow the viewers to laugh and enjoy, while constant donations from a specific individual can bring discomfort to the other viewers.

“I need to be careful.”

A chairman of a broadcast would certainly be aware of such truths. I heightened my guard against actions that were clearly targeted.

– Haha, even getting a manager has gone wrong.

– Hyeri is eavesdropping with her fierce eyes.

– It’s perfect for the fool who enjoys spending money and getting scolded…

The viewers, seemingly unaware of such intricacies, looked joyful. It was like watching kindergarteners excitedly talking about a new friend.

“Sigh, what do they know? I have to keep things in order.”

Our room’s viewers shall be protected by us! Just as I vowed, a fierce attack came in.

– Since it has come to this, there’s no helping it. How much we selling for here?

‘This b*stard?’

– What’s a broadcasting cell??

– It’s the culture of female streamer broadcasts, you know.

– Hey, there’s no broadcasting station here…

Broadcast Cell. It’s short for broadcasting station selfie. Other platforms have an actual broadcasting station function.

“If you think of it as a sort of dirty world, it’s convenient.”

A self-decorated space of one’s own. This perspective was the backdrop for the concept of the Broadcast Cell.

Unlike the radiant broadcasting station of a broadcaster, the viewers’ station was completely empty. The viewers who were trying to decorate it finally realized the truth. It is the broadcaster who shines, not because of the posts filling the station.

Realizing this, viewers began demanding one thing from certain broadcasts.

– Post your selfie in my broadcasting station.

Such a petty request alongside a big donation was something broadcasters couldn’t refuse. As a result, the viewers’ broadcasting stations quickly filled up with several broadcasters, and eventually, they had a brilliantly shining broadcasting station.

Congratulations~ Congratulations~

‘No way!’

Hearing this, it seemed like a mutually beneficial contract. However, for me, such an offer was a deadly trap.

“The broadcast cell is something that mostly comes from female streamer broadcasts.”

In other words, that viewer was saying this to me.

– You’re a female streamer, right? How much will it take for you to succumb?

“How dare you!”

– Oh wow, that startled me.

– Why is this person suddenly raging?

This is my broadcast. My territory. It’s not a space that a wandering stone can covet.

With a fierce anger, I respond.

“How much did you find out about the price?”

The price is the standard rule.

“Just kidding, I don’t sell things like the broadcasting cell.”

In truth, there was a bit of sincerity mixed in, but that was a secret I’d take to the grave.

– Sounds like they’re serious, lol

– Haha, well there’s nothing we can do about it then.

– It wouldn’t be right to say you’re picky while selling the cam, would it?

“Oh, right.”

Suddenly checking the time from the viewer’s chat, I realized it had been over an hour since I started the content.

“Alright! I’ve added an extra ten minutes as a special service. So, I’ll be off!”

I smoothly lowered the cam while saying my farewell.

– Aaaah!

– I was purposely staying quiet!!

– I want to take down Eye-less Ssae, lol

I smile at the active chat. In the tiring life of broadcasting, watching the deficient ones is part of my vitality.

– Hyeri♥Jihun donated 100,000 won.

[So the cam is available for purchase. But fortunately, it’s cheaper than our room. Haha]

Grimace. I grit my teeth once again at actions interfering with me.

– Big Jihun

– The true GOAT compared to JOAT…

– Big matters are left for water buffaloes.

– Huh… If it’s you, I would allow my b*tt too.

However, with the viewers who should be resisting them now switching sides favorably, my position has become precarious.

‘This is my room!’

With trembling hands, I turned on the cam and declared.

“Thank you for the 100,000 won donation, but I’m not selling the cam separately.”

– Then what’s the menu for, you b*tch?

“That’s basically WWE between me and the viewers.”

At my words, the viewers began to have an outbreak. I administered the tranquilizer I had prepared in advance.

“Now, I will conclude this content! And I intend to keep the cam on!”

– Owner Miju! I like you!

– I was trusting you, dammit!

– You’re the hero of our village!

Seeing the rapidly changing public opinion, I raised my head high. The cheap thrill of victory circulated within me.

– So, can this room not sell backgrounds or wallpapers either?

Despite this, I spotted chat that was still struggling, refusing to give up. Before leisurely declaring a refusal, one specific question arose in my mind.

“Backgrounds?”

How do you sell backgrounds? For a moment, I pondered this until a donation came in that would provide the answer.

– Speedwagon donated 1,000 won.

[I am Speedwagon!]

…

I waited, expecting a follow-up explanation, but the lines no longer continued.

“What’s this?”

Thinking it might be an error, I checked the donation records. Inside, there was only a name written.

“Hey, you b*stard! You have to give an explanation!”

Leaving the confused concept behind, I scanned the chat. There was a lengthy explanation that would answer my question.

“So… you’re saying you split the background like a checkerboard and sell it?”

– Yup, you write your name on the part you purchase.

“Even the price varies by section?”

– Yep. The closer it is to the center of the screen, the more expensive it is.

Indeed, pioneers think differently than ordinary people. While Bong Yi Kim Seon-dal sold actual items, I couldn’t help but admire the fact that they were selling rights to land that didn’t even exist in reality.

“Why would anyone buy that?”

Admiration is one thing; understanding is another. I couldn’t believe that someone would buy a screen that wasn’t even worth paper.

– Huh? lol

– Every world has its realm…

– The transit area is the most ridiculous, lol

I, too, thought they must have their own world. In the end, all that remained was the realization that I was being treated like a female streamer once more. Yet, this power struggle would be the last. I pronounced the perfect denial, ensuring that viewer could no longer touch me.

“I’m not selling anything…”

However, while responding, several keywords emerged in my mind. Shares, sales, virtual. The words that had been slightly misaligned with each other. But the moment they met the lubricant of my talent, they began to mesh together and form a single device.

“I have something to sell.”

I slightly adjusted the answer I was thinking of. I showcased the device I had just created on stage.

“I’m selling shares of Miju Investment Securities.”

Warren Buffett, wait for me. I’m coming.
