Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 83

“So today, we will hold a NewTube viewing party!”

As soon as I got home and turned on the broadcast, I confidently declared this to the viewers.

Then, a chat room filled with question marks appeared before my eyes.

– ????

– Out of the blue?

– I don’t even understand why it’s suddenly NewTube… Where does the word ‘so’ come from?

– What kind of broadcast is this?

– ㄴ We don’t know that either…

Once again, the viewers expressed their doubts about my words.

“The reason I prepared this content today is…”

I had long given up on expecting much intelligence from the viewers.

As I was about to start explaining to help them understand, a donation interrupted me.

– Duntang has donated 10,000 won.

[Please, don’t just think with your tiny brain, let us know a bit too.]

– My mind is blown!

– It’s Duntang, hahahaha

– Seriously, they keep insisting on their own delusions~

– How dare you call it tiny! Apologize to the mouse!

‘While they’re stuck on such trivial topics…’

Not being able to understand something this simple.

The viewers, possessing rather uninspiring minds, were directing their blame towards me, the one who unveiled such reality, instead of blaming their own abilities.

Because of their brazen attitude, my inner anger almost spilled out, but I endured it with superhuman patience.

‘I can’t make another mistake…’

Unlike those foolish pigs, I am a human with the ability to learn.

Making a mistake by letting my true feelings slip out was enough for one time.

“…”

To eliminate any chance of an inadvertent mistake, I decided to keep my mouth shut.

However, as I said nothing, the viewers began to act as if they had won.

– Can’t speak, can you? You have no thoughts, right?

– You’re hurriedly making up a reason, hahahaha

– I can hear your brain turning, weeeeng~

– ㄴ ? What do you mean ‘weeeeng’; just rattling, hahaha

The way they seemed to be testing my patience made me finally open my mouth.

“Very…”

It’s a sudden topic, but there’s a fact that regular viewers who enjoy my broadcasts would catch on.

I hardly ever curse, at least not on the broadcast.

‘But there are lots of people watching… Cursing seems inappropriate.’

This was something akin to a belief I felt I needed to uphold as a broadcaster.

To maintain this, I tried to hold back even when I felt like swearing, and if I did end up swearing, it would only be the most mild form.

Therefore, the words I uttered afterwards were the biggest shock to myself.

“I’m really fed up.”

As I opened my mouth, swearing slipped out through the thin gap.

I froze, my eyes wide open at the unexpected revelation of my true feelings.

“Uh…”

‘Did I just say something a bit harsh…?’

This was unlike my usual playful words; they were filled with sincerity for the viewers.

Thinking about the feelings they would experience made me anxious.

‘What if they got hurt?’

Wrapped in uncertainty, I discreetly rolled my eyes to check the chat room.

– Gasp;;;

– You went too far;;

“Ah…”

Seeing the actual negative reactions of the viewers stirred up feelings of guilt within me.

But that didn’t last long.

– Uh-oh, Miju is hurt. Want to be comforted in Mama’s arms (glances)

– Since there are two of us, I’ll take the other one… Hehehe…

– With that, we could probably have five dogs per person, right?

While expressing their dissatisfaction, the viewers suddenly got fixated on an unexpected point.

Fortunately, seeing that they didn’t appear to be too hurt, I continued speaking with relief.

“I chose this content thinking about you guys, so when you say that, it makes me angry!”

– Why does this matter to us, you crazy person, hahahaha

– Today’s tip: When you make a mistake, try to empathize and get angry.

– Who’s more annoyed, you talking nonsense or us listening?

Still failing to understand my deeper meaning, the viewers persistently voiced their discontent.

Feeling the need to adjust my explanation to match their level of understanding due to their surprisingly limited intelligence, I decided to provide an example.

“No… First, think of a soccer player.”

– The expert has donated 10,000 won.

[Messi? Ronaldo?]

“Any one of them! Just think of a player you want.”

– Anyone is crossing the line…

– You’re creating a Messi vs. Ronaldo battle here.

– ㄴ Messi vs. Ronaldo? You’re such a rookie.

– I worship you, GOAT.

Ignoring the battle ensuing in the chat room, I continued my explanation.

“Once you’ve thought of a player, just imagine that you’ve made a highlight video of that player.”

“Who’s the first person you want to watch that video?”

– … Mom?

– I don’t watch soccer, so I don’t know

– Stop talking about trendy content; please.

– Well, of course, it’s the GOAT.

As I was explaining, I yelled at the viewers who kept trying to interrupt.

“It’s best if the person in the highlights watches it!”

The thought that the person I had passionately cheered for while making the highlight video would watch my video directly?

Just imagining it felt cathartic.

“Imagine if that person even reacts to the video while watching. This would be something to brag about for generations!”

– Just thinking about it makes my mouth water, hahahaha

– The GOAT is going to watch the video I made? Oh my god…

– ㄴ But I was thinking from earlier; isn’t the GOAT a nickname for Ho?

– ㄴ ? Of course, it’s Messi;;

– ㄴ Oh.

Once I finished speaking, a fight erupted again in the chat.

While I lamented that I had misused my example amid ongoing bickering, a viewer asked a question.

– Miju♥Jihun has donated 50,000 won.

[So what’s the relation to today’s content?]

I briefly summarized today’s content for the viewer still asking foolish questions.

“My video, I’ll watch it together.”

There were plenty of videos with me as the main character.

These reaction videos are becoming popular these days, so maybe I should ride the wave!

“You’ve sent so many rank one donations, so wouldn’t it be better if you watched them with me?”

– That makes sense…!

– So you’re basically saying you’re the GOAT?

– ㄴ Honestly, in terms of body, it is basically the GOAT

– ㄴ For real, it’s not just the size; the proportions too…

Finally, the viewers seemed to understand my explanation, slowly starting to nod their heads.

Seeing that, I let out a sigh of relief, but I caught a glimpse of several viewers making sinister plans.

– We’re going to watch a collection of Miju’s cuteness together? Oh sh*t, hahaha

– Isn’t this a bit of a shameful play, hahahaha

– Today is a total disaster. I’m going to release my donation limits.

They had devised a plan to repeatedly send specific videos just to mess with me.

The moment that plan came to fruition, I would inevitably have to watch my dark past with the viewers for the rest of the day.

However, no matter how much the viewers tried to scheme, they were all in Miju’s hands.

The pigs could never escape my expectations.

“However! There’s a warning.”

I conveyed unfortunate news to the viewers holding onto hope that they could prank me.

“I know you all watched last night’s video a lot, right? So let’s exclude that and look at all new videos this time!”

– Ah, seriously, shut up.

– This broadcast is really going however it pleases…

– I

– Rock

As the broadcast did not flow as they wished, the viewers were left fuming.

– Duntang has donated 5,000 won.

[I haven’t seen it though?]

“Then go watch it now~”

– Kyaaaaaa!!!!

– People… are shocking…!

– Duntang, why did you only show up in the neck!!

Calming them down was an incredibly easy task for me.

“Alright~ Now, shall we slowly start the broadcast?”

– (trembling)

– ㄴ, Yes…!

– You’re a crazy dictator…

“Right, if you’re upset, you can also do it~”

Ignoring the murmurs of the defeated, I activated the video donation feature I had disabled at the start of the broadcast.

At the same time, a sound indicating a donation was received echoed.

– The expert has donated 10,000 won.

[It wouldn’t be right to say ‘day-off broadcast,’ right?]

Unfortunately, this donation was a standard audio donation, not a video one.

And with the content spreading rumors about me, I couldn’t help but respond.

“Oh, come on, saying it’s day-off! Do you know how much I struggled to set this up?”

I pondered during the computer boot-up time.

Oh, by the way, my computer is a high-end one put together by the chairman.

It takes less than 5 seconds to boot up completely.

– That’s right, it’s day-off…

– All you do is watch the video and react and money gets copied, hahahaha

– Since it’s come to this, we should totally just air it on Nationalistic Tube, right?

– America is shocked, and Japan is envious of Mama’s Channel!!

As more slandering donations came in, viewers began to unite and openly criticize me.

Seeing how they were moving actively, as if they had suddenly regained their spirits, I couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Shall we really approach it that way? Like, with exaggerated reactions?”

– ㅇㅇㅇㅇ

– ㄴㅇㄱ <-- This is a national rule
- ㄴ A hidden identity I never imagined...!
- If we’re doing this, shake Mama’s Channel too (this message has been deleted)
- ㄴ Perhaps... do you have no lines...?
- ㄴ d*mn it, you idiots, hahahaha

As I was gazing at the chaotic chat room, the first video finally arrived.

- The expert has donated a video.
[Bongbong (Miju)]

"Bongbong? What’s that? Let’s play it for now."

Feeling perplexed by the unfamiliar title, I hit play on the video.

... I really shouldn’t have...
