Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 76

With the sudden appearance of the main character, I began to make excuses like someone caught gossiping behind someone’s back.

“No… that’s not it…”

As I was racking my brains for words of explanation, I suddenly had this thought.

‘Did I really say something wrong?’

No matter how well the business was doing before, from the cafe’s perspective, having more customers is always better. The fact that my Pepero contributed to attracting customers was undeniable.

‘In the first place, the cafe owner is an accomplice, too.’

If delivering a special Pepero to the cafe owner was a crime, then the cafe owner, who spread it further, was no different from a secondary perpetrator.

Having successfully rationalized my actions, I raised my voice confidently and shouted at the cafe owner.

“Honestly, you enjoyed it too!”

But could it be because of the long deliberation?

Too many parts of what I said had been condensed.

“No, no, what I meant to say was…!”

Realizing this fact too late, I let out an excuse-laden response. However, the viewers had already accepted only what they wanted to hear.

– “This is something a s*x offender might say~”

– “Let’s see you say that in front of a judge.”

– “??? Honestly, the judge would think it’s funny too?”

– The cafe owner donated 10,000 won.

[Huh? This is frustrating, right?]

The viewers, riding on the momentum, pressed me relentlessly.

When I regained my senses, I found that I had already succumbed to them.

“d*mn it… So what do you want?!”

After all, most of the reasons why the viewers were attacking me were to make me create the content they wanted.

In response to my piercing question at their core, the viewers answered with donations.

– The cafe owner donated 10,000 won.

[Let’s put that aside for now and ask one thing. I’ve seen people here say they received normal chocolate… is mine the only one that’s spicy?]

“Uh…?”

Caught off guard by the unexpected question, I paused for a moment before answering.

“…Congratulations on winning my one and only chocolate, which is filled with my sincerity!”

– “Was your sincerity a murderous impulse?”

– “Looking at the chat, I can see why you’d want to k*ll someone, hahahaha.”

– (Inner thoughts) “Ah… why didn’t I d*e?”

I continued speaking, leaving behind the viewers who were hurling accusations.

“If the winner has a specific product in mind…”

The product would only be… at best, to send back normal Pepero.

‘This time, putting sauce on the Pepero… wouldn’t work, right?’

I erased the wicked thought that came to my mind. As I was listening to the viewers’ demands with that complacent mindset, a sound like thunder struck my ears.

– The cafe owner donated 10,000 won.

[Then turn on the roulette.]

“What?!”

– Hahahahaha

– The owner is failing, hahahaha.

– Come on, let’s get on with the roulette~

– The durian I bought last time to give you is still at my house.

Unlike my flustered demeanor at the unexpected demands, the viewers were ecstatic at the mention of the roulette. I knew it wouldn’t help, but I started trying to persuade them.

“Everyone… I have some content prepared for today…”

If you’re an investor, there are essential tasks to do at the end of the year.

Unlike coins that currently don’t take taxes, stocks took a certain percentage of profits every year as tax. Hence, wise investors often execute tasks to maximize their earnings to the tax-free limit before the year ends.

“So today, I was planning to do year-end tax settlement…!”

– “Albaan? This is way more fun, hahahaha.”

– “You’re settling your previous sins instead of tax, right~”

– “Then you can do a 24-hour broadcast while doing that~”

As expected, the viewers ignored my words. I secretly wiped away tears as I thought of the content that was about to be discarded today.

– Duntang donated 10,000 won.

[But you have no profits to begin with. How can you settle when you have none?]

As I held back tears and prepared to open the roulette site, a viewer posed a question to me.

I lamented the low-level question and shared a simple truth with him.

“So, I need to earn today.”

If I kept losing until now, it was enough to earn more money than I had lost today.

“How much money have I lost until now?”

I opened the Akashic record with the investment records to check.

Summing up the amount lost this year came to around 10 million won. The tax-free limit for overseas stocks is 2.5 million won, so if I could earn just 12.5 million won more, I could have a clean year-end settlement.

– Hahahaha crazy girl!

– Do you think that’s possible?

– To earn 10 million won in a day, how much are you thinking of investing, hahahaha?

– I think we just saved someone who was going to Hangang today, hahahaha.

The viewers reacted to my explanation as if it was absurd. Seeing their initial rejection, I realized they needed enlightenment.

“No, guys, think about it once before screaming that it’s impossible.”

– “Hmm…”

– “I thought well… but it’s impossible?”

– “For real, hahahaha, how is that possible?”

I began explaining using my experiences to the pigs who only cried out that it was impossible.

“When I was trading stocks the last time, I made over 10 million won, but it all vanished in an instant!”

The memory of being liquidated in the past was one of my sore spots. However, ironically, that memory was what assured me that I could make money.

“If I had been investing the other way back then, I would have made 10 million won in an instant!”

– (After losing 10 million won) “Ah… I should have sold!”

– “Then you should have done it back then.”

– “For real, if I had done that, I wouldn’t be struggling right now.”

– “If I had the capability in the first place, wouldn’t I have earned money without liquidation?”

“No. That is the true evidence that I will earn today.”

I continued explaining to the viewers who still posed me questions.

“The stock market is a zero-sum game. If someone makes money, someone else has to lose money.”

But is there someone who has been losing money for a whole year in such a market?

Unless someone is manipulating from behind, there can only be one conclusion.

– Longchung donated 10,000 won.

[Skill. It’s skill, you idiot.]

“I will definitely earn what I’ve lost today!”

Today is the starting point for me to climb the path of success.

All of the previous liquidations were mere offerings for this purpose.

– “Ah… you’re not listening to common sense…”

– “Gambler’s fallacy, you idiot.”

– “??? If you throw in money now, it’ll hit!”

– “It does look fun, hahahaha.”

– “For real, the outcome is obvious, but it’ll definitely fill the dopamine, hahahaha.”

Finally, the viewers showed a favorable reaction to my explanation.

The donations that came in at that moment proved this fact.

– Longchung donated 10,000 won.

[Adding roulette – Year-end Settlement Broadcast (24-hour Non-Stop)]

“Ah! Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Longchung. Year-end settlement broadcast~”

I felt joyous that my eloquence had worked, and I added the donation details to the roulette.

“24-hour non-stop…?”

But soon I realized there was something odd about it.

“Wait, wait, wait!”

– “?? Why?”

“Not why, but…! Something feels off!”

I pointed to the roulette with my mouse as I spoke.

– “You asked for it, right?”

– “Even if I could, it’d still be a hassle.”

– “This is why black-haired beasts are…”

However, the viewers maintained their shameless attitude.

Their demeanor triggered my pent-up anger.

“No, if it’s year-end settlement, it should be that. Why is non-stop attached to it!!”

– “Isn’t that up to the person who sent the donation?”

– “For real, if you didn’t want that, you should have announced it in advance.”

– “Whoa! Then I want to too!”

– Someone donated 10,000 won.

[24-hour Broadcast (Extreme Eating Challenge)]

– An expert donated 10,000 won.

[24-hour Broadcast (Following Ring Health)]

…

As I watched the flood of donations, I let out a scream.

“This is cheating!!”

– “Why?”

“If you say ‘why?’ one more time, I swear I’ll really k*ll you.”

Realizing my voice was filled with anger, the viewers fell silent.

I voiced the cause of my dissatisfaction.

“Only one wish should go in for each roulette slot. Why should it be ‘something, non-stop’ together? If you keep doing this, what’s the point of spinning the roulette!”

When I thought about what the future donations would be like if I allowed this, my head ached already.

“If you’re going to do this, why not just write that you want to increase the wishes to a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand!”

– Someone donated 10,000 won.

[Then let’s add a hundred wishes.]

“You really need to leave.”

I dismissed the viewers who couldn’t grasp the situation and looked at the chat room.

However, the viewers were still sticking to their opinions.

– “If you don’t like it, just announce it first.”

– “You’ve taken all the money, how can you say it’s no good now?”

– “I don’t care! Do a 24-hour non-stop broadcast for me!!!”

As their persistent demands continued, I felt my last strand of patience snap.

“Fine… is that what you’re saying…?”

I picked up the mobile phone I had put down and continued speaking.

“Then I have an idea.”

As I operated my mobile phone and a moment passed, the sound of trumpets filled the air.

– Miju donated 100,000 won.

[Invalidating the roulette.]

– “?”

– “????”

– “Did they send that themselves???”

I looked at the many hooks appearing in the chat room and said,

“Let’s see who wins this to the end!”
