Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 55

– You have been banned from the broadcast.

“What… is this…?”

Not only was the blocking of donation messages uncomfortable, but I also felt uneasy about the words covering the screen.

As I refreshed to remove them, the broadcast screen had completely disappeared, leaving only the text visible.

– You got banned, you idiot hahahaha

– Definitely a drink ban hahahaha

– There’s a reason why big corporations endure

I looked through the chat room to find answers from the viewers, but once again, the rapidly refreshing chat room caught me off guard.

Ignoring the unreadable chat, I read the text again.

“Just… banned…? Why would they ban me…?”

– Are you asking because you don’t know? hahahaha

– They say drinking messes up your brain, and it’s true ㄷㄷㄷ

– Ttyattyattya!

– Hehehe… Do you want to be my secret friend, old man?

– Check your balance, dude.

“Ugh…”

In my staring contest with the text, I finally found an answer.

“Oh! Is it a Twitch error?”

While it was true that I couldn’t access the broadcast, there was no way Mari would have banned me.

That left only one conclusion.

“What… Is the server management broken?!”

I was filled with righteous anger as a donation that slandered me arrived.

– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

[Can’t read? You got banned, you idiot!]

– Duntang has donated 5,000 won.

[Now, repeat after me. I. Am. Sorry.]

“I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Despite the obvious server problem, the viewers pressured me to apologize.

They even spread rumors that I had been banned.

“Mari wouldn’t ban me! Why would she do that?!”

Click!

– No, seriously, ha…

– Really, it’s tragic ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Why not have a little fun this time?

– (Flames emoji)(Flames emoji)

– I told you to check, didn’t I?

Then, flames started to rise in the chat room.

“Y-Yeah! I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Without even needing to read the chat, I could tell the viewers were angry.

Just as I felt overwhelmed by the sudden protest, one video donation came in.

– Miju’s Absolute Fan has sent a video donation.

[Play it, you idiot.]

“Hey, can you stop swearing?!”

I weakly protested against the viewers while playing the video.

Then came a familiar voice.

“Ah, thank you for the donation. Why did I block Miju? You shouldn’t communicate with someone who is drunk.”

That voice clearly blamed me for my mistake.

“I’m sure Miju will thank me for banning her when she sobers up.”

With the final nail in the coffin, the short video ended.

“…”

– Miju’s Absolute Fan has donated 1,000 won.

[So what do you have to say?]

Receiving a donation that pressured me to respond despite my embarrassment, I realized I was clearly in the wrong.

In this situation, there was only one thing I could say.

“Mi…Mi…”

– You’re going to say that you did nothing wrong, right?

– This time, it really is your fault hahahaha

– Did the host apologize? I didn’t see that

– Wow… so let’s see you do it?

As I watched the rapidly rising chat, I spoke what was in my heart.

“I’m sorry… I made a mistake…”

– ?????

– ???? what???

– ???????

Looking at the chat filled with question marks at my apology, I shouted my words of remorse once more.

“I will apologize sincerely…”

– Why really apologize?

– Huh? This isn’t what I meant…

– You’re not Miju, are you?!

– ㅇㅇ has donated 10,000 won.

[Just for this, you’re aggravating people… Ugh, trash.]

– Expert has donated 50,000 won.

[Honestly, shouldn’t the viewer who caused the ban apologize instead?]

– Why did the arrows point at us suddenly…?

– But it really seems like it’s our fault… ;;

– Ugh, d*mn viewers, I recognized you all.

As my apology came to an end, donations started pouring in one after another.

Maybe realizing my feelings, they only contained positive content.

“No! It’s not my fault!”

I felt tempted to lean on their kindness, but as an adult, I had to take responsibility for my mistakes.

I thought of an appropriate compensation for the viewers who were wronged.

“Ah…! Then I’ll do this!”

After much consideration, a satisfactory compensation plan came to mind.

I believed the viewers who suffered would be satisfied with my idea.

“In the future, I’ll meet the President! I’ll give you a good spot!”

– ????

– ???????

– Was this real regression?

– Miju (20s): When I grow up, I will be President!

“Huh…? Why again…?”

I voiced my confusion while looking at the chat full of question marks.

As I worried about what was wrong with what I had said, a message came that eased my concerns.

– Miju Love has donated 100,000 won.

[For now, I’ll give you one vote ^^]

– Miju ♥ Jihun has donated 100,000 won.

[Miju for Congress!!]

“Eh-heh… Thank you very much!”

The viewers actively supporting my words.

Through their donations, my once deflated confidence began to swell like a balloon.

– Duntang has donated 10,000 won.

[Wait, I don’t understand any of this? What’s with the President? What’s going on?;;;]

However, not everyone could be clever.

Seeing the viewers who were still throwing out questions without grasping the current situation, I sighed.

“Ugh… Let me break it down for you!”

I explained the situation in a simplified manner for the somewhat slow viewers.

“Today, I’m going to invest in Trump stocks! If I become the major shareholder of this stock, I will be Trump’s owner!”

Thus, if I succeeded in my continued investments, I could become the owner of Trump stocks.

“So in the end, I would become the next President after Trump!”

I couldn’t help but admire my own flawless logical explanation.

I thought that nobody would express doubts anymore, but once again, the chat was filled with hooks of curiosity.

– ????????

– Ah, is it not the president of Korea, but the president of America? hahahaha

– “Dream big.”

– That’s too big, you idiot hahahaha

– Is the problem the alcohol or the person…?

– Duntang has donated 10,000 won.

[Even if we let that slide… it’s hard to overlook you saying you’ll succeed in investing;;]

Still, some viewers, unwilling to admit it, sent me donations filled with rebuttals.

However, I had clear evidence to counter them.

“Look at this!”

Proudly, I opened my balance.

As I had expected, the stocks that should be soaring welcomed me shyly, but,

┌──────┐

Balance Status

Trump… -31%

└──────┘

It seemed like the stocks were sick, staring blankly at me.

“What the hell.”

– ㄷㄷㄷㄷ What’s with that voice?

– (Shivering) It’s scary…

– The voices of the sisters who used to rob me sounded just like that ㄷㄷ

Caught off guard by the unexpected situation, a curse escaped my lips.

At that moment, the influence of alcohol faded away.

However, even if I checked again in a sober state, the fallen stocks would not rebound.

“Is this also an error?”

– It can’t be an error hahahaha

– I clearly told you to check, didn’t I?

– Claiming to succeed in investments, are you kidding? hahahaha

I yelled in frustration at the viewers who were laughing at me.

“You said Trump was elected!! Then it should go up!!!!”

Faced with an unbelievable reality, I transformed violently like the protagonist of a violent video game.

But unlike my changed self, my balance remained steadfastly blue.

– hahahaha

– You were mocking the people in the stock chat earlier, and now you’re saying the same thing hahahaha

– Trump got elected, and you bought Trump stocks?!?!

The viewers watched me like I was a monkey at a zoo.

Seeing their faces, I calmed myself down.

“Phew… Then tell me the reason, there has to be a cause for the drop, right?”

– Bogdanoff, she bought it.

– Down, down.

– What? Everything’s just falling lately?

– Hey, Longchung! If it goes up, it should go down too!

Observing the chat’s reactions while looking over the entire market situation.

The market, once brightly rising, had turned overwhelmingly blue.

The few remaining red points merely remembered the glory of the past.

“What’s going on… You said it would rise today…?”

The words of the viewers who had lured me still echoed in my mind.

However, looking at the current situation, it was undoubtedly a scam.

– This is a scam hahahaha

– If you don’t buy, then it will rise, huh? hahahaha

– Trump got elected, and you’re shorting? Cut it out hahahaha

But the viewers, far from comforting me, were merely mocking me.

Only laughing at the victim rather than scolding the perpetrator, my heart turned dark.

“Is that so? Is this it then?”

I escaped the balance details and entered another menu.

A surprisingly low trading volume welcomed me.

“Then I’ll just destroy it.”

I was selling Nasdaq futures.

Through this, if Nasdaq fell by 1%, I could potentially gain 20% profit.

“Make America Worst Again, you bastards.”

– Shortchung has donated 1,000 won.

[Shut up, you ungrateful brat!!]

I thought I heard someone’s scream from beyond.
