Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 78

– What the???

– Give

– Ah;; That’s just crazy

– What the hell, does this even make sense???

– Short

As the absurd probability won, the viewers couldn’t hide their bewilderment. However, the person who was more flustered than anyone else was none other than me.

“What the???”

I checked the roulette again in disbelief. Yet, no matter how many times I checked, the needle was consistently pointing at 5%.

“Seriously, is this real???”

– No, no, no, it’s definitely rigged.

– Is this really happening?

– Aren’t you going to shout ‘challenge’??

– Out with the fraud elections!!!!!

The viewers vehemently denied my words. Seeing their reactions, I realized that all of this was indeed true.

“Wow… this is really unbelievable…”

I finally grasped the reality, but disbelief still slipped from my lips. My reasons for rejecting the current situation existed for my own reasons.

Until now, I had lived a life far removed from winning.

Not even in the lottery at the stationery store near my home, nor in the pickup events inside gacha games.

Even in the coin market where you just need to cheat to win, the coins I bought always delivered nothing.

“But suddenly, I won with a 5% chance??”

The fact that something that only ever happened in dreams had become reality left me frozen. Then, suddenly, I remembered something I said before spinning the roulette.

“If there’s someone who loses every time, there are only two possibilities…”

Either someone is manipulating it from behind, or I am the one gathering good luck like a spirit bomb.

“I am the one gathering good luck…”

And at this moment, the miracle of 5% appeared.

This was surely the signal that my luck was peaking!

“Then…!”

Realizing this fact, I recalled my predicted income for today.

After losing ten million won over the year and adding the benefit of two million won from tax exemption, the total income expected for today was twelve million won. Considering the current luck, this was already equivalent to cash in my hand!

“Wait, wait, wait!!”

For a moment, I rejoiced at becoming a billionaire, but then a fact that I had overlooked flashed through my mind.

“This is based on a year, right?!”

In the past, when I calculated, I simply assumed only the misfortunes over the year.

But looking back, the years I’ve lived unhappily were not just one year, but a lifetime.

Then the years factored into the calculation also needed to change!

“Since I’m currently 23 years old…”

If my age in Korea is 23, then I have lived for 22 years.

And just as I calculated earlier, the income I can earn per year is about twelve million won.

Multiplying these two figures in my head brought forth a shocking conclusion.

“Uh… billion!!”

A mind-blowing amount filled my mind.

‘Now is not the time to be broadcasting.’

Having finished all the calculations, I prepared to end the broadcast with my final words to the viewers.

“Alright, everyone! Thank you for watching today’s broadcast!”

As I spoke, I was already a captive of the billions I could make.

Thus, I intended to end the broadcast without even checking the viewers’ reactions.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the donations that came in just at that moment, the broadcast would have been cut off.

– Unicorn donated 10,000 won.

[You look like you have a schedule since you’re ending the broadcast so urgently?]

As I contemplated how to utilize the money I had earned today, a viewer’s question came in.

“Ah! There’s a schedule…”

I almost answered straightforwardly that there was a schedule, but an icy chill ran up my spine, stopping me.

“There could… be one, or not?”

As I snapped back to reality from the sudden chill, I stumbled through my words while glancing at the chat room.

– You must have a schedule~ It’s Christmas~

– Ang! Ang! Ang! Ang!

– “You guys can’t see the scenery.”

– What the hell… this sucks…

– I believed it, I believed it, I believed it.

However, it was already too late, and the chat room had turned into hell.

“Hey… everyone? How about we cool down a bit…?”

With the speed of the chat room three times faster than normal, I cautiously suggested that viewers calm down.

– No, no, no. We’re going to heat things up, so go on with your day.

– If you go, it’ll heat up even more ㅠㅠ

– ???: Seeing you makes my bl**d boil~

– Ah. I really want a cigarette.

– We’ll handle it ourselves.

‘If you’re going to handle it yourself, why are you watching my broadcast?’

I thought to myself, suppressing the words that nearly escaped my lips.

‘It’s not like ending the broadcast would matter…’

Contrary to the viewers’ misunderstandings, the concept of a schedule was just me staying cooped up at home; whether I broadcasted or not was not a big issue for me.

No, in fact, if I did choose to broadcast, I could also help my loyal viewers earn money, leading me to reason that it would be more beneficial to keep it running.

“Well then, I’ll…”

However, the reason I hesitated was just one.

I was worried that continuing the broadcast could be misinterpreted as a wrong signal to the viewers.

Let’s assume I end the broadcast instead and fulfill the viewers’ requests.

The subsequent viewer reactions were clear without needing to see them.

‘If there were only one fan of Miju in the world, they would be rambling on about this and that.’

As a result, my approval rating would endlessly rise, and I would be able to wrap up the year-end broadcast successfully.

‘Getting lots of donations and having a good atmosphere. But just for this broadcast.’

If one only reads this far, it sounded like a perfect script.

However, problems would surely arise starting from the very next broadcast.

‘I once threw a tantrum and got what I wanted… Wouldn’t I be doing it again?’

The pigs who got a taste for rebellion would definitely set the chat room ablaze every time I pursued content that did not meet their tastes.

Being the soft-hearted person I am, I would have no choice but to comply with the viewers’ pressures.

‘So, I must not show any gaps from the beginning.’

To do this, I had to end the broadcast according to the roulette’s results. However, the atmosphere with the viewers was too intense for me to proceed with the ending.

– d*mn, weren’t you the same as those female streamers?

– Aren’t you literally under the desk right now??

– We spent a million won to see Zero Two… Someone is getting to see n*ked Zero Two without spending a dime…

– Try ending the broadcast. I’ll search all the motels in the country to find you.

Before I could even say I would end the broadcast, the viewers were already expressing their anger.

I also had my own experiences of getting angry at streamers who took breaks on Christmas, so I could feel their emotions vividly.

‘If I don’t end the broadcast, the next one will be a problem, but if I do end it, the problem is right now…’

Caught in a dilemma.

Today, I once again wrestled with a situation that felt like a catch-22.

At that moment, an idea flashed through my mind.

‘Hmm… What if I do this…?’

With the idea forming, I simulated it in my brain several times.

From the resulting calculations, I gained a strong conviction that success was within reach.

– This is why I didn’t want to watch female streamers.

– d*mn… if you’re going to do it, at least turn the broadcast on.

– Golden Sun, is it you again?!

“Um, um! Everyone?”

The viewers were still angry.

I gathered their attention and continued speaking.

“I understand your concerns, but still, rules are rules… so I’ll be ending the broadcast now?”

– d*mn it, really?

– Are you seriously ending it?

– No way… I trust Miju.

The viewers, still holding onto hope despite my words, were abruptly confronted with an announcement that shattered their optimism.

– The broadcast has already ended.

– ????

– Are you really done broadcasting?

– d*mn the hell, what the…

– I

– Who ends the broadcast in this atmosphere?

– Rock

– How big is your boyfriend to be damned?!

In an instant, the chat room turned chaotic.

But it was merely for a brief time.

– Miju’s broadcast has started.

– ????

– What is this now?

– Extreme

– Wow! Truly the great Miju!

– I believed in you, Je-enjang!

– Rock

The viewers expressed their joy at the reborn broadcast.

However, after a moment, all they could see on the rekindled broadcast was a black screen.

– ???

– What the hell is this?

– This isn’t some roller coaster…

– I’m going to lose my mind…

As the situation oscillated from despair to euphoria, the viewers watching began to feel dizzy.

Yet, in the face of my silence, they started to feel anxious.

– Did they mistake this for a stopped broadcast?

– Uh oh;;; Is this a broadcast accident?

– D-d-d-d-d-d-d

Without a sound, only the black screen remained in the broadcast, amplifying the viewers’ anxiety.

About twenty minutes later, their growing concern was finally addressed.

“Hello, viewers?”

Having completed all my preparations, I unmuted myself and greeted the viewers.

– What is this? What is this? What is this?

– Phew… fortunately, it’s not a broadcast accident.

– Ah… damnit.

As I finally broke the long silence, the viewers’ chats surged forth as if they had been waiting.

Reading their chats, I turned on the camera I had also turned off along with the mic.

At that moment, an unfamiliar scene was transmitted on my broadcast screen.

The viewers expressed confusion at seeing a location that was different from my usual room.

– ???

– Where is this?

– This doesn’t seem like home…

“This is a motel.”

Looking at the viewers who were questioning, I kindly answered their queries.

However, even with my response, they continued to display question marks.

– ????

– What a sudden motel;;;

– Is this a boyfriend reveal broadcast?

– Is it the last service before we consummate our relationship?

The chat room flooded with various speculations.

While I watched and laughed, a donation came in from a viewer.

– Expert donated 10,000 won.

[If it’s a motel, where’s your boyfriend?]

“My boyfriend? He’s right here.”

As I responded to the question, I pointed in one direction with my finger.

“Here he is! Our boyfriend~”

Located there was the mobile phone transmitting the broadcast.

– Hehe… I’m the boyfriend…

– Shush… this is ridiculous…

– No, no, no, how shameless!

– Those broken heads are pouring out, hahahaha!

The viewers exhibited the expected reactions to my words.

With a satisfied smile, I continued the broadcast.

“Then let’s start today’s broadcast?”

I had to end it, but if the aftershock seemed frightening, there was only one method.

End the broadcast and immediately turn it back on.

‘Am I really a genius?!’

While I admired my own creativity, a question came in from a viewer.

– Miju♥Jihun donated 100,000 won.

[What broadcast are you doing?]

“Today’s broadcast is…”

Before responding, I glanced at the chat room.

– Are you asking because you don’t know?

– If you’re at a motel… hehehe…

– Showercast! Showercast!

– Girlfriend RP!!!

Inside, the viewers were expressing their excitement at the fact that we were at a motel.

“If adults of the opposite s*x come to a motel late at night, there’s only one thing they should do.”

– What?!

– Is today the last broadcast?

– Well, I just took my pants off.

– d*mn, watch your words, you fool!!

Looking at the chat room heating up even more because of my words, I lifted the mobile phone.

Simultaneously, the monitor I had pre-prepared also broadcasted.

– ???

– A… don’t tell me…

– We came all the way to a motel… please don’t…

– It’s a disaster…

Recognizing the familiar screen, the viewers anticipated the day’s content and began voicing negative reactions.

However, I stood firm and delivered the lines I had prepared.

“Let’s go to the casino!!!”
