Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 96

– Balance $0 (-100%)

In the midst of repeated surges and crashes, all that remained for me, who had belatedly regained my senses, was an empty account.

“Uh…”

The amount of money I lost due to this investment was a staggering 10 million won. This was the amount that a salaryman making 2 million won a month would take nearly six months to accumulate without spending a penny.

‘I just lost that in ten minutes…?’

Having squandered someone else’s six months of sweat and effort in just ten minutes, I could only stare blankly at the screen with a hollow expression.

As I fell into the shock of liquidation and maintained my silence, the broadcast fell silent as well. But that silence was momentary. With the overwhelming messages of donations echoing throughout the room, the brief stillness was broken.

– Miju♥Jihun donated 50,000 won.

[Wow… what the hell…]

Perhaps shocked by the performance I had just shown, a viewer with a familiar nickname expressed their feelings through curses they normally wouldn’t use. And from that point on, countless viewers began to hurl accusations at me.

– Duntang donated 1,000 won.

[I told you to sell quickly, you b*stard! hahahaha]

– OOO donated 1,000 won.

[If I had just followed the plan, I would have tripled my money, yet I stubbornly got liquidated. hahahaha]

– PyoDokMiju donated 10,000 won.

[Is this the Truman Show? There’s no way someone can be this stupid!]

The barrage of accusations snapped my fading consciousness back to reality. As a result, I let out a short sigh, having regained my senses too late.

“No, ah…”

Recalling past mistakes, I let out a sigh, and the viewers began to launch their scathing chat messages as if they had been waiting.

– No way, what the hell hahahaha

– Who was the idiot that didn’t sell when I told him to?

– If you sell now, you’re going to lose 80 million! (Actual words)

– If you sold back then, you would have only lost 80 million, but now you’ve lost 100 million! hahahaha

– You can regret all you want now, but no refunds~

The viewers continued their jeering and accusations toward me. However, there was something they were mistaken about.

The emotion contained in my sigh was not regret. It was nothing but disappointment.

I quietly stared at the screen and muttered.

“If only I had changed my position and went long when it crashed… No, at least if I had redistributed my positions…”

I recalled various futures that never became reality. No matter where I looked, my balance exceeded 100 million, and the regret about the current reality continued to deepen.

“If I were the president, making a counterargument when a controversy arises is basic etiquette… Why didn’t I think of this back then?”

Continuing to murmur, I recharged my coin wallet balance.

– Balance $20,000

As I looked at the savings jar, now plump and full again, a satisfied smile naturally appeared on my face.

“Ha… okay. I’ve paid my tuition, so I’ll do it right this time!”

Having completed all my preparations, I expressed my bold ambition to the viewers before heading into the battlefield.

“This time, for real, 100 million! I’ll definitely reach it!”

Sploosh! With those words, I leaped into the fluctuating charts. As I wrestled with the waves of rising and falling, the viewers suddenly began to pull me back up.

– Duntang donated 10,000 won.

[???? What the hell is this?]

– OOO donated 5,000 won.

[You say you’re going to do it properly? Where exactly are you going to go;;;]

The sudden influx of donations threw me off balance. As a result, I lost track of the flow of the chart and shouted in anger.

“Hey!”

This was really the time to make 100 million!!!

With the realization that I had lost a total of 200 million across my past liquidation and now this missed opportunity, tears began to well up in my eyes. However, the viewers were oblivious to my feelings and were busy throwing questions at me.

– Shortchung donated 1,000 won.

[Isn’t it over if you got liquidated once?]

– Expert donated 10,000 won.

[Where did that money come from all of a sudden?]

“Ha… ha…”

I calmed myself before firing back at the viewers, filled with anger. With a brief pause to collect my thoughts, I successfully managed my emotions and began to answer the viewers’ questions one by one.

“You ask if it’s over once you get liquidated? I still have money left in my account!”

I displayed the recharged account on the screen. There, in bold letters, was the number 20,000.

– Expert donated 10,000 won.

[No, where did that money in your balance come from?]

“Where could it have come from… all of it came from here.”

I answered the viewer’s question calmly, slowly extending my finger in one direction.

As my hand appeared on the screen, the viewers’ attention naturally focused on it.

Following my elongated finger, they unknowingly shifted their gazes, and soon realized the target of my gesture was indeed themselves.

– Uh… no way?

– We’ve always said that, but really?

I hammered down on the viewers who were beginning to realize the truth.

“Your donations. I always appreciate them!”

Thank you for always giving me opportunities to go to the casino…!

Bowing, I expressed my gratitude to the long-legged benefactors. Suddenly, the chat room exploded.

– When did we ever hear you acknowledge us before???

– Always grateful, huh? (While losing all in 10 minutes)

– Self-deprecating jokes are something we should do; when you do it, it’s just plain criticism, you b*stard.

I looked silently over the continuous flood of chats. As I showed no reaction, the fervor in the chat room gradually began to weaken.

– You b*stard, you b*stard.

– Not even responding now…

– Sigh… I guess I have to deal with the broken head.

– No matter how much you curse, this vibe doesn’t exist in other rooms…

At the end of my waiting, the chat room returned to its usual pace. As I was observing, I quietly muttered.

“Well then, can I go gamble now?”

I spoke with an anxious undertone, feeling the urgency to return before I lost the flow I had just realized. But once again, the viewers reacted against me.

– Gambling? You’re kidding, right? hahahaha

– No way. Absolutely not.

– Even if you go, let’s calculate correctly.

“What do you mean, calculating? I don’t owe anything.”

And even if I had debts, it’s about what I earn at the casino to pay it off!

I spoke sincerely. In response, the viewers sent back more donations.

– Expert donated 10,000 won.

[Remember that bet we made earlier?]

– Gyeogaller donated 10,000 won.

[Armpit armpit armpit armpit]

The donations from the viewers reminded me of the memories I had momentarily forgotten amidst the dopamine rush.

——-

[Instead, if you lose, you have to wear the outfit I decide on during today’s broadcast.]

“Of course, I’m in!”

——-

“Ah.”

Having regained my memory late, I let out a m*an. At that moment, the viewers began to celebrate.

– hahahahaha

– Remember now?

– n*ked shirt dolphin shorts knee socks let’s go~

– Ugh, what a feeling. I’ll allow you to wear just one outfit!

– No, you crazy b*stard, then you’re really going to get banned, hahahaha

I snapped back to reality at the thought of the despairing future ahead. I began to respond to the viewers’ comments.

“No… but, the bet isn’t finished yet, is it…?”

Ignoring the question marks flooding the chat room, I continued my speech.

“That’s right. I still have money in my account, and originally, in the world of coins, you lose ten times and win big once… a one-game bet is just too unreasonable!”

‘There’s also a saying about the ups and downs of winning and losing. Failure is what leads to success!’

With convincing content, the more I spoke, the more confident I became. As a result, the shaky version of me disappeared, and only the strengthened me remained, continuing my speech.

“So, to settle the bets, we need to total up all the investments!”

After finishing my words, I thought.

‘No matter how much I try to persuade them, the viewers will definitely retaliate…’

Glancing over at the chatroom, as expected, it was rolling in a sea of flames.

– Nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense

– Downfall downfall downfall

– I will troll I will troll

– (Fire emblem) (Fire emblem)

As the chats rapidly scrolled up, the broadcast began to stutter. Unable to endure the rising chaos, I decided to simply turn off the chat room.

‘Whatever, I don’t care anymore~’

If I hit 100 million this time, it should be considered under special circumstances~

– Purchase contract has been executed.

– Sale contract has been executed.

I signed the contracts with a determination that I must win at all costs. At that moment, a sharp donation echoed in the room.

– Shortchung donated 1,000 won.

[If that’s the case, then every time you get liquidated, you should give me one more; does that even make sense?]

‘What else won’t work?’

I wanted to say, but at that moment, it was clear that the viewers would genuinely step on my neck. So this time, I took a step back.

“Hey, I’m a person too; there’s no way I’d treat it like that every time!”

As soon as I spoke, the charts began to wobble again. I focused my attention back on the charts and continued speaking.

“If I get liquidated this time, it’s really over! At that point, whether you tell me to wear a 랜도셀 or a boyfriend’s shirt, I’ll wear it all!”

Well, the rest of the story was unnecessary to share.

“AAAARRRGH!!!! This is chaos!!!!”

“Guys!!! Can you see? What’s the profit now?”

“Yup~ I’m going to sell instantly~ Do you think I’ll fall for it twice?”

“… What’s going on? Why isn’t it selling?”

“NO!! Why can’t I sell!!!!!”

“The current price and the chart are showing differences? Then what’s the current price?”

“… What did you say?”

“AHHHHHHH!!!!”

I just hoped they would remember that I was trying to sell without being greedy this time.

– Balance $0 (-100%)
