Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 92
“Today, I will embark on a cafe exploration!”
As soon as the broadcast started, my words elicited negative reactions from the viewers.
– Was there a cafe?
– I made it last time to promote NewTube, lol.
– Wow! A cafe abandoned right after it was created!
Looking at the chat room already filled with defamation posts about me, I spat out a defense.
“Abandoned? I just don’t post much!”
– The expert has donated 10,000 won.
[Isn’t that abandonment? I really don’t know.]
“I’m reading all the posts that do come up!”
Despite my explanation, the viewers still had question marks lingering. I informed them of the most important part of community life.
“The operator shouldn’t be overly active! It can be the starting point of cliques!”
With almost ten years of community experience, this was precious knowledge I had acquired through numerous trials and errors.
“But the viewers watching my broadcast are even more precious.”
For you guys, I can endure this level of sacrifice.
Like Prometheus, who brought fire to humanity, I sacrificed my own self to deliver the knowledge gained to the viewers. Yet, despite my sacrifice, the viewers only seemed lukewarm in their response.
– No… We gathered to socialize…?
– This person considers the fan cafe as a gallery, lol.
– Let’s just move it to Miju Minor Gallery, shall we?
They had no idea how important this principle was and were rebutting before understanding. Some trolls among them began to recommend familiar sites to me.
“Hey! Please refrain from mentioning strange sites.”
I sent a warning message to the viewers. However, whether my words stirred their rebellious spirit or not, the trolls began to take over the chat room.
– This one openly watched DC on the broadcast…
– You’ve been caught a few times in the gallery, lol.
– Suspiciously knows a lot about Miju…
– A troll has donated 5,000 won.
[There’s a story that a suspicious viewer shows up to discredit Miju as soon as the broadcast ends. I really like this story.]
“Hmm, hmm… Anyway! Let’s start today’s cafe exploration!”
I declared the start of today’s broadcast, leaving behind those who spread rumors.
– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.
[So where is the cafe?]
“Haha… I don’t know?”
It had been a month since the cafe was abandoned. Surprisingly, the cafe was thriving.
– Domestic Carnival Club
[It’s a gathering for people who love Kia Carnival.]
The only difference was that I was no longer its owner.
– Where did the fan cafe go, lol?
– Suddenly that one popped up in my cafe list—was it your fan cafe? lol.
– Unbelievable, even the fan cafe is now a money-making scheme, how ridiculous…
“I’m not making money off of it!”
– It’s right there where you are looking now.
– How much did you receive?
– If you’ve handled some cash, share a little with us.
“I didn’t sell it!”
– A troll has donated 5,000 won.
[So this cafe is being run by you directly? That’s even more shocking…]
“That can’t be true!”
– Then why is the cafe in this state?
“Ugh… That’s…”
Caught mid-explanation, I stumbled over my words at the sudden chat entry.
‘I may not know for sure, but I definitely didn’t sell it!!’
However, given that I was the cafe owner, such excuses were unlikely to hold up, and realizing this, I could only grasp my head in frustration.
‘What is happening? Could it be another hack?’
This time I even changed my phone number…
I was cursing an unknown hacker when suddenly I grasped a fragment of a memory.
“Wait a minute! This isn’t my cafe!”
– ???
– Unbelievable, making up stuff like that, right?
– Let’s at least not lie to each other.
Despite my words, the viewers were quick to criticize me, but with the memories flooding back, I confidently said.
“This was outsourced to a viewer!”
– ????
To the viewers who were all questioning, I explained the background of the situation.
“I posted on Trgather that I was making a cafe. Then, a viewer offered to make it for me!”
Even if I had made the cafe by hand, the result would have been a cafe format of a Bonobono PPT.
Faced with a compelling proposal that I couldn’t refuse, I had no choice but to agree.
“How could I refuse this? Of course, I said yes immediately!”
And thus, the cafe that was created became the (former) Miju fan cafe, now (current) Carnival Club.
– Really going all out.
– Well, there’s no way you could make a cafe…
– You even got scammed by a viewer, lol.
Whether my explanation felt truthful or not, the chat room seemed to sway in my favor. And among them, some were intensely invested and expressed their anger.
– From the start, you approached with the thought of gathering members to sell.
– Shouldn’t we seriously consider pressing charges?
– What a madman.
“Hey… Calm down, everyone.”
Whether to press charges or personally take action was a conversation for after the broadcast had ended. It wasn’t something to discuss live.
– The comments are still left on the post, I’m tracing the IP.
– They don’t seem to be a viewer of this broadcast in the first place. This seems to be their first comment.
– Hahaha… what a j*rk.
However, despite my pleas, the chat became more hostile, and I decided to take drastic measures.
“Don’t worry, everyone! There are other sites besides this one!”
– ? Where?
I demonstrated with actions rather than words to the questioning viewers.
After a few clicks, a site that was all too familiar appeared before me.
– So it’s a gallery, huh? lol.
– Mima Gallery welcomes our dear gallery master~
– They’re clearly here too often to be welcoming…
To the viewers who were embarrassingly welcoming, I asked several curious questions.
“I’ve never been to a site like this… where should I go?”
– Isn’t your recent visit gallery visible, though?
– Miju Gallery, Coin Gallery, Broadcaster Gallery… all the jewel-like galleries are present, right?
– Why is Mijeong Gallery even there, lol?
Pretending to be a newbie, I found myself in a situation where I couldn’t even recoup my losses.
So, I resolved to confront them confidently.
“Hey, this is a gallery where deep discussions about world affairs happen.”
– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.
[Are you wearing aluminum foil on your head?]
– A troll has donated 1,000 won.
[Asking that when the first post is clearly controversial…]
“Alright! Let’s head right into Mima Gallery!”
Once again, I led myself into danger with my words, cutting off potentially risky statements just in time.
As I accessed the site, various posts, including one targeting me, caught my attention.
——
A famous Hollywood director revealed he found his muse in a Korean street video.
Recent updates on Miju’s promotion of Brown “Days.”
Updates on Trump Coin.
——
– Wow! You know about Brown Days.
– Let’s get it rolling, let’s get it rolling—so exciting~~.
In the blink of an eye, the chat was flooded with incorrect names, and I forced a smile as I corrected the mistakes.
“Haha… It’s not Brown Days, it’s Tales, right?”
– A troll has donated 1,000 won.
[If you knew, why did you say it back then?]
‘Attacking with facts!’
I turned my gaze from the cowardly viewer. Clicking on the post, new information unfolded before me.
┌──────────┐
Recent updates on Brown “Days” promoted by Miju.
A new character with a twin concept has come out.
It’s a gimmick where the form changes with each skill usage, and the character names are Tales and Days, whoa.
In fact, was the gallery master already aware of this and conducting noise marketing…?
– After the gallery master’s promotion, the number of users reportedly tripled, whoa.
– Great gallery master.
– I’ve believed in you… Mi-Hwang.
– Isn’t it just a mistake covered up by the game company?
– No, hey, facts are banned.
– The gallery master must be watching this gallery, haha.
└──────────┘
“Huh?”
Unlike the title of the post, the friendly content unexpectedly left me most bewildered as I had anticipated criticism.
Amidst this, a donation message came from a viewer as if to verify the truth.
– ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.
[Did you really know about it?]
“Well… Of course I knew!”
I crumpled my sense of guilt with my hands and continued speaking.
“The reason I seemed flustered then was because it was a spoiler! There’s no way I’d mistake the title of a game that I even uploaded a video about~”
– True, Miju isn’t an idiot…
– Although it’s a bit ambiguous to say otherwise…
– 50 million BT fans actively support Miju!
“Haha… Thank you.”
I expressed my gratitude to the chat room, which was showing me favorable reactions.
Then, as I returned to the gallery’s main page, a newly posted post greeted me.
——
By the way, why hasn’t the gallery master done investment broadcasts lately?
——
Strangely drawn to the title, I clicked on the post as if by enchantment.
┌──────────┐
By the way, why hasn’t the gallery master done investment broadcasts lately?
Back in the day, there was the thrill of risking it all while investing, but now you’re just doing broadcasts where you reveal your br*asts consistently.
What’s the difference from a female streamer broadcast?
└──────────┘
– That, that, that free-loader!
– Have you even watched other female streamer broadcasts? If you did, you wouldn’t say that.
– Should we k*ll the master?
With content criticizing me, the chat room filled with particularly agitated viewers. However, unlike them, I was deeply resonating with the post.
“Indeed, I haven’t done an investment broadcast for a while.”
Just the other day I said I’d conduct investment broadcasts every weekend, but the last broadcast was a month ago on Christmas. Thinking back, I didn’t even manage to conduct a proper investment broadcast then.
“I feel like I lost a bit of my initial spark. My essence is as a gambler…”
– No, no, no, no, no, no.
– Seriously, please don’t.
– Please abandon the initial spirit for real.
– Why are we giving our money to other retail investors!!!
Ignoring the chat room that was trying to dissuade me, I declared to the viewers.
“Today will be an investment broadcast. I’m going to proceed.”
– Then what game were we supposed to play today?
“I’m not playing it, right?”
– Miju♥Jihun has donated 100,000 won.
[No, my horror game broadcast!!!!]
With my declaration, the viewers screamed.
However, my mind had long been made up.
