Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 91
“AHHHH!!!”
The scream of someone echoed in a way that felt like it would tear through my ears.
Is it a molester? Or has a kidnapping incident occurred?
The scream made anyone who heard it imagine all sorts of horrific situations.
“Ugh…”
And when the scream changed into sobs, I, who was listening the closest, uttered a single phrase.
“Wow~ That scream was delicious.”
It was hard to believe I had just made that statement about the desperate scream a moment ago.
Instead of rushing to help, I’m critiquing someone else’s scream!
The ridiculousness of my comment could have made even a psychopath shake their head, and the viewers’ sharp remarks followed.
– Expert donated 10,000 won.
[It would have been better if there weren’t that tearing sound, right?]
– Duntang donated 5,000 won.
[If you had just set up the microphone properly, it would have sounded twice as good, you brat.]
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry~ I didn’t know you’d scream that high.”
– Right, let’s do better next time.
– Will there be a next time…?
– I wouldn’t collaborate again if it were me, hahaha.
– Yeah~ Once you get kidnapped, it’s over~
– Who told the host to stand out?
Rather than stopping the streamer from making absurd comments, the viewers were busy adding demands and encouraging the chaos.
It resembled a criminal gathering in the underworld.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one who felt this way, as the viewers’ comments about the broadcast flowed in a similar direction.
– Chat looks like a mess.
– Is this some sort of human trafficking site?
– I already reported it.
Watching that scene, a sudden sense of unease began to wash over me.
“Could it be… they really reported it?”
– No way…
– Who would report someone after watching WWE?
“Right? I believe in our viewers~”
The viewers dismissed my sudden concerns.
However, my worries became a reality.
– Please comply with broadcast regulations.
– hahahaha The mod is here, run~
– What’s happening here hahaha.
“No, what did I do…”
Just as I tried to speak, a warning message appeared in the chat room.
As I attempted to make excuses, the viewers began to shift blame onto me.
– Honestly, today’s broadcast is a bit dangerous~
– Is MijuTV really for real?
– A woman’s scream evaluation broadcast can’t be normal…
“You bastards…”
Grinding my teeth at the viewers’ lack of loyalty, I felt an uncontrollable desire to strike down the traitors with a hammer of justice, but thinking that providing an explanation was priority, I continued my words.
“I didn’t do anything! This is just a NewTube video!”
Once I finished speaking, I streamed the evidence material on the broadcast screen.
– Backroom Final Boss Clear (feat. Doppelganger)
The video was proudly uploaded on NewTube.
Beside it, a small caption mentioned a different title.
– Game Trending Video #1
– The first video went straight to trending #1? Crazy.
– It’s only in the gaming category;;
– Regardless of the genre, trending #1 is still trending;;
– Amazing Miju.
“Ugh.”
Feeling the viewers’ interest in the title of being #1, my shoulders began to lift.
The desire to receive even more attention started to control me.
“More, let them praise me more!”
Having succumbed to that feeling, I expressed my inner thoughts without hesitation to the viewers.
However, the viewers were not the kind to easily give me what I wanted.
– Thumbnail bait, crazy.
– Even though I’ve seen the video before, I still click when it comes up in recommendations!
– Whatever it is, they resolve it physically…
– Wow, Chuchu is adorable.
Instead of praising me, the viewers belittled my accomplishments.
After feeling provoked, I spat back.
“Everyone does clickbait, isn’t there a reason I ranked #1?”
– You announced your start on NewTube with Mister Call;;
– ???: If you don’t like and subscribe, you’ll get banned.
– Not to mention the backroom’s new boss, an attention grabber too.
Twitching.
The mouse hovered over the ban button.
– Just a breast one-trick pony.
– Even the a** is a two-trick.
– And the voice is a three-trick…?
The foolish viewers, who didn’t even realize their lives were at risk, were too busy poking at me.
However, thanks to a wise viewer’s donation that followed, they all managed to survive.
– Expert donated 10,000 won.
[Surprisingly good video quality.]
“Right? I put a lot of effort into it~”
– Did you just bring in a random fan tube editor? (No idea)
– Fact: There were 100,000 subscribers even without the main mark.
– Miju ♥ Jihun donated 100,000 won.
[I was particularly surprised to hear the voiceover in the middle of the video.]
– Oh, I agree with that.
– Honestly, I thought you would never do something like that, hahaha.
– Miju might not know much, but she knows how to handle money well, hahahaha.
Especially the part praised by the viewers was the inclusion of my voice as narration throughout the video.
Usually, I would be excited by the compliment and share stories about recording, but for this occasion, I had no choice but to remain silent.
“…”
‘That’s not actually my voice.’
The thing is, I don’t remember recording anything.
To talk about it requires a little trip back into the past.
After ending the broadcast, instead of diving into bed, I was sitting in my chair, spending some time.
“When is that crazy deer going to calm down?!”
As one game ended, the piercing screams began to d*e down.
Instead, embarrassing moans hit my ears.
“Hah… ha…”
Luna was making sounds that she couldn’t let anyone hear with her voice.
I cautiously spoke to her.
“Are you calmed down now?”
“No…!”
She was about to get angry with me as I spoke but her anger faded with my next words.
“Please tell me your account number to put in the mission amount.”
“You keep tormenting me… Huh?”
“I’m saying I’ll give you the mission amount.”
Then I uploaded the screenshot showing the mission amount I received today on Discord.
It was a considerable sum, and a flustered voice came back from the other side.
“I-Is this real?”
“Yes~ That’s correct.”
Despite my assurance, she couldn’t easily believe the situation, but fearing she might miss out on the opportunity, her account number was sent over faster than anyone.
“You’re really sending it…?”
Even after sending the number, she still couldn’t shake off her doubts, so I transferred the mission amount I received today without any fees.
“I’ve sent it~”
“R-Really…!”
Once she checked her balance, she finally seemed to realize, letting out a cheer.
Thanking me for the opportunity and stating it was her first time seeing a seven-digit balance, she started showering me with all sorts of words.
As if she had forgotten about my past actions, I presented her with an offer she couldn’t refuse.
“But… don’t you think it’s a shame if it’s just a one-time thing?”
“Thank you so much… Huh?”
Seeing her flustered reaction, I lowered my voice and continued.
“I mean, three million won isn’t a small amount, but it’s still not enough to last a lifetime~”
“T-That kind of talk, I-I won’t invest!”
“Not like that!”
I candidly expressed my feelings to her, who was tripping over herself in an unexpected direction.
“Let’s work together.”
“Work… together?”
And thus, the collaboration was born.
The first result of that was this video.
‘It was quite difficult.’
Mainly in persuading her.
‘I didn’t expect she would dislike having my narration over crying scenes.’
Doesn’t it trigger endorphins when someone else is crying?
The fact that the crying person is past me is a slight miss.
‘But isn’t it just about making money?’
Along with the satisfying quality of the video, I sent over a considerably large amount for a day’s pay, containing my wish to collaborate again.
Whether that amount satisfied her or not, right after I sent it, I received a reply urging for the next video.
‘Luna earns a daily wage happily, and I happily cash out.’
A perfect collaboration where everyone was happy.
However, the viewers who were unaware of these facts continued to shower me with praises.
– It’s true, even though she doesn’t do it often, when Miju does it, she does it well!
– Even without a cam, it’s nice for the ears…
– This is why everyone seems to watch virtual YouTuber videos.
– This one could literally fall into the abyss and not worry about starving to d*ath;
That sight brought a discomfort as if I were stealing someone else’s achievement.
Ultimately, a donation blocked me from being honest with the viewers.
– Baby Princess donated 100,000 won.
[Miju, thank you for enjoying our game.]
“No, that’s… Huh?”
I paused as I was startled by the unexpected donation.
Soon after, donations with similar content followed one after the other.
– Ttazzi Coin…
– Story One Trick…
With the continuous donations, I was left with question marks floating above my head.
And it wasn’t just me.
– ????
– mㅇmㅇ
– What game are we playing???
The viewers were also left confused, unable to grasp the situation.
When everyone was drawing question marks, a single donation revealed the truth.
– OOO donated 5,000 won.
[The new video just came up, and it seems like it’s because of this?]
Upon hearing that, I refreshed the site, and a new video appeared.
– Let’s start a new adventure together! Guard Tales!
Clicking on the newly uploaded video, I instinctively scrolled down to check the comments.
There, I found it filled with praise from existing users.
– Wow;;; This big shot is promoting our game???
– Thank you, thank you, thank you.
– Ttazzi Boom is coming!
– Duntang donated 5,000 won.
[When did you even film that? hahaha.]
‘I don’t know either, it’s scary.’
I closed the comments filled with unfamiliar praise and racked my brain.
But no matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t recall any memories of playing this game.
‘…Huh?’
Then, a single scene from the past popped into my mind.
“We received an advertisement proposal; would you like to do this?”
“Consult with Luna about that.”
Recalling that short conversation with the editor, I was able to grasp the nature of this video.
‘This is that one!!’
Realizing all the facts, I hastily greeted the viewers while wearing my mask.
“Ah… it was really fun!”
– Sob sob sob sob.
– Thank you, Ttazzi.
– Is our game going to start gaining popularity…?
Looking at the chat filled with waves of emotion, I spoke promotional words to the viewers.
“Please love it a lot~”
“Our Guard Tales.”
– Huh?
– ??????
– Guard… what?
“…Ah.”
And thus, my account of events continued to grow today as well.
