Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 71
In my declaration, the viewers responded with enthusiastic support.
– Mmmm…
– Please collect money for a lifetime~ Please collect money for a lifetime~
– Talking about helping the underprivileged with his own mouth, hahahaha
– Is he a troll? Hahaha
Looking at the viewers’ chat filling the screen in an instant, I spoke with an elevated voice.
“So many people are supporting me…! The world is still warm!”
– ????
– Where exactly was the word ‘support’ written?
– That’s a sign of mental confusion;;;
– Even a mental hospital would shake its head
Every word I said raised questions among the viewers. While they might appear frustrating to others, to me, they were merely potential customers.
Worried that the guests waiting in line before the business even started might shiver from the cold, I opened the store a bit early.
“Thanks to your intense support, I will open the donation box!”
– I don’t know about anything else, but I can tell the chat room is on fire.
– Ah, this delusional person is at it again.
– There’s no support, only complaints!
The viewers, once again moved by my consideration, continued their enthusiastic chatting. However, sadly, I had to deliver some unfortunate news to them.
“I’m really sorry, but… our store only accepts deposits up to one million won on a first-come, first-served basis.”
– Is it really first-come, first-served? Hahaha
– It has to be deposited on a first-come basis, but there are no products. Hahaha
– Even pachinko gives out prizes!
My words received disappointed responses from the viewers.
However, a merchant who sells goods cannot sell their conscience. As someone who prioritizes product quality, this was an unavoidable choice.
– No, you said there are no products, you idiot!!
– Other female streamers at least let you do a lottery…
– Ah hahaha, I don’t care about that, just give me something!
Faced with my explanation, the viewers expressed their disappointment while nodding in understanding. I conveyed my gratitude to those who understood my intent.
“Thank you for understanding, everyone~”
Just then, while watching the increasingly rapid chat room, a donation message rang in my ears.
– ㅇㅇ님 has donated 1,000 won.
[Hahaha, really?]
Seeing the donation content filled with short words, I instantly understood the sender’s intention. One viewer, realizing it was first-come, sent the donation hurriedly before I finished explaining!
“Thank you for the donation, ㅇㅇ님!”
First, I expressed my gratitude for the donation. However, I had to deliver some unfortunate news to the impatient viewer.
“I’m sorry, but the minimum donation amount starts at 10,000 won.”
As if to prove my words, the donation amount remained completely still. This meant that the donation just sent went into my belly instead of the donation box.
“How unfortunate~”
Again, I say that to guarantee the quality of the goods, this was an unavoidable choice.
– Is there even a minimum order amount now?
– I donated 1,000 won thinking you were collecting money, but you’re only accepting 10,000 won!
– And you’re even keeping the 1,000 won, hahaha!
– Your conscience is getting worse as the days go by…
– Please, may you yourself perish instead of your conscience, JOAT…
Despite the two unfortunate explanations, the viewers who believed in me continued to support me. Thanks to their encouragement, I officially started my business operations.
“Then, please support me a lot!”
————-
About 10 minutes after I made that ambitious shout, I was painfully realizing how difficult self-employment was.
– Duntang님 donated 9,900 won.
[But the donation box was still empty. Miju had used up all her energy…]
“Be quiet!!”
– Hahahaha
– Ah~ Thank you for the 9,900 won donation, Duntang님~
– Wow! Since a donation came in, the donation box should be filled, right?
Looking at the taunting comments from the viewers, I checked the amount gathered in the donation box.
– Miju’s donation box: 0 won
However, I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the sight of not a single penny collected.
‘This isn’t right…’
Faced with an unexpected situation, I recalled my original plan.
‘According to my thoughts, the gauge should have filled up instantly, and I should have proceeded to the next content right away?’
But reality was cold. As soon as the word “donation” came out, the viewers closed their wallets. Even those who had previously donated were so stingy towards donations that they were purposely sending donations just under 9,900 won.
‘In fact, the donations have decreased compared to usual.’
In this situation where my good intentions of gathering donations were harming my livelihood, I let out a sigh mixed with lament.
“How can there be not a single person among all these people willing to donate!? How can the world be this harsh!”
– They do donate, just not to you, hahaha
– Seeing people like the moderator live, the world seems like it still has some worth~
– If you use the money you receive privately, that’s not a donation, right? Hahaha
However, seeing the viewers, who only mocked me rather than empathize, I could no longer contain my boiling anger.
“You… you trolls! Get out of my business right now!!”
– Are you the one who should be saying that? Hahaha
– It seems there’s only one troll in this room? Hahaha
– For real, for real
– The troll host should leave immediately!
Even with my raging outcry, the resolve of the viewers was not at all shaken. Instead, as the public opinion turned towards chasing me out, I desperately shifted my strategy to appease them.
“Wait a minute! If I get kicked out, you will never see Mamma Tong again. Is that still okay?”
– Mamma Tong? Hahaha
– This broadcaster has such a cheap tone.
– Then at least turn on the cam and speak!!
– Where in the world can you find a broadcast that only takes money for 10 minutes without doing anything?
The shocking fact led to internal conflict among the viewers. Seizing this opportunity, I pushed my argument forward.
“No… everyone wants to see me turn on the cam and broadcast, right?”
– Yes, yes, yes
– Of course
– Please do turn it on if you know…
“Then I want donations!”
I continued my speech, pointing to the donation box, as the viewers unleashed a barrage of question marks.
“I guess you still don’t understand, but I won’t proceed with the broadcast until this is filled up!”
– d*mn, you crazy girl, hahaha
– Hahahaha
– You’re consistently unlikable to the point that it’s actually somewhat likable, hahaha
– Did you really just say that?
Finally, I noticed the public opinion had turned favorably towards me. Along with that, the sound of a cheerful donation message rang out.
– Duntang님 donated 10,000 won.
[Unlikable x Unlikable = likable, hahaha]
Although it was only 10,000 won, I finally looked at the donation box, which was filled a little, and thanked the viewer who donated.
“Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Duntang님! I will use it for a good cause!”
– Good cause (in your pocket)
– What? You’re going to stuff money between your br*asts?!
– What are you talking about?!
– I’m also going to stuff money between Miju’s br*asts!!!
Not long after, donations from viewers who heard strange rumors from somewhere followed.
– Longchung님 donated 10,000 won…
– Expert님 donated 50,000 won…
– Miju♥Jihun님 donated twenty…
“Thank you, Longchung님, Expert님, Jihun님… for your donations!”
Many high-value donations came in consecutively.
After thanking each viewer who donated, I noticed that the collected donations were approaching the target amount.
– Miju’s donation box: 950,000 won.
I looked at the amount, which was just slightly below the target, and fell into thought.
‘It seems a bit unreasonable to wait any longer…’
Given that the broadcast was already well delayed, holding on just to receive another 50,000 won was too much to ask.
‘I’m sorry, viewers.’
I silently apologized to the potential donors whose chance to donate I was taking away as I opened my mobile phone. Just as I was about to donate the exact 50,000 won, a celebratory sound echoed from the speaker.
– Miju Love님 donated 1,000,000 won.
[Miju, fight with this!]
Looking at the vibrant ringing sound, I saw the donation box filled to the brim, bursting because of too large an amount.
– Miju’s donation box: 1,950,000 won.
I expressed my condolences to the broken donation box and thanked the last viewer who donated.
“Ah, Miju Love님!! A whopping one million won!! Thank you so much for your donation!!”
– Wow~ Just as expected, the big spender!
– She essentially filled the donation box all by herself, hahaha
– At this point, I guess I have to meet her, hahaha
– Now… I have to turn on the cam, right?
The viewers were excited to finally see the broadcast happening, but at that moment, the sound of a donation rang out, instantly changing the atmosphere.
– Duntang님 donated 1,000 won.
[But isn’t this woman going to end the broadcast now that she’s made all her money?]
– d*mn, that sounds reasonable?
– So since you’ve met your quota for today, are you saying you’ll see us tomorrow?
– I told you not to give her money!!!!
– Aaaaaah!
I didn’t even say a word in response, yet the viewers were already interpreting my end of the broadcast as a done deal and expressing their anger.
– ㅇㅇ님 donated 10,000 won.
[Miju, we were wrong. Please don’t leave…]
– Miju’s true fan님 donated 10,000 won.
[Until the end of the broadcast, I will donate diligently… please don’t abandon us.]
Even as some viewers tried to stop my early exit by donating, I quickly gathered my distracted thoughts. Then I informed the viewers of this fact.
“I’m not that kind of person~ So now I will proceed with today’s broadcast!”
– Great Miju
– King Chit Chit
– Don’t be fooled; she might end the broadcast claiming today’s content is finished!
– Then we’d also end up being thugs.
“Today’s broadcast is”
I showed the viewers through the cam that I was pure and innocent.
“Let’s make Pepero for the viewers who donated!”
