TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 65

Having returned to Korea and broadcasting diligently without breaks, the month has changed, and it is now October.

“Hmm… What content should I do in October…?”

In September, I did large content pieces like cooking broadcasts and a Chuseok special collaboration…

November is fine with events like Pepero Day and the College Entrance Exam making it lively…

But what is there in October…

I stared at the innocent calendar for no reason and contemplated, but the only content I could think of was writing only in Korean to commemorate Hangul Day.

Sigh… This is too common and doesn’t excite me.

“Hmm!”

I don’t know!

I’ll think about it later!

For now, should I just play some games as usual?

The viewers seem to like it when I play games.

Of course, that’s because I only bring games that consider the viewers’ dopamine.

I decided to play games today and browsed my game library to see if there were any worthy games for the broadcast.

This one… is too brutal for broadcasting…

This one has the volume too high…

Ah, this one… I don’t have the confidence to play through the early parts again…

With my criteria in mind, I couldn’t find a single game worth playing until I scrolled all the way down.

…Is there really no game that interests me?

Sigh… Was my standard too high…?

Or maybe I just don’t have many games in my library to choose from?

I thought maybe I hadn’t found anything because my library was still lacking, so I browsed the store.

Ah, this looks good.

Oh, this one too.

So it turns out my library only had the games I really wanted, bought with the pocket money my parents gave me during my broke days?

While browsing the store, one thought crossed my mind.

Is it time to start feeding my preference for games?

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been choosing games considering viewership and fun, but isn’t it time to lift the protective period?

It’s been over half a year since my debut, hasn’t it?

While the viewers may leave, it’s a process of solidifying rather than just picking at ants, so it’ll be fine…

Hmm… Let’s decide what to do today and think it over.

I looked back at the games I had picked as candidates.

Hmm… This one is better…

Ah, this game is coming to VR later, so then—

Ah, speaking of which, my VR delivery arrived, didn’t it?

I had forgotten because I shoved it to the corner without even unboxing it…

“Hm… Should I just play VR today?”

I thought that if I didn’t do it when I remembered, I would forget again, so I decided to quickly finish it.

***

A little later.

“Everyone, today is finally…”

-Finally…?

-Finally what?

-Speak up, you shitty girl.

ㄴDeleted Message.

“Sigh… No, I won’t say it.”

-You little sh*t?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Oh haha, it’s been a while since I got pissed off.

-Are you gonna get your a** kicked?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Oh, here we go again.

ㄴDeleted Message.

“Uh, um… Sigh…!”

-Aoo, just say something!!!!!

-Just spill it all out!!!!!!!

-Ah! If you don’t say it quickly, I’ll drink bleach!!!!!!!!!

“I think I’ve teased enough, so I’ll tell you.”

-cr*p… I always end up getting fooled even when I know…

ㄴDeleted Message.

-You b*tch…

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Kiyah!!!! Hurry up and say it!!!!!

They always react so generously like this, I can’t help but tease them.

Satisfied, I stopped joking and got to the point.

“I received the VR I bought.”

About a week or two ago.

-Oh.

-Did it finally come?

-Took freaking forever.

“Yes, so I need to set it up.”

-?

-Didn’t you bring it set up?

-Didn’t you usually set this kind of stuff up beforehand?

“Oh, I need to open the box first.”

-????

-It was just delivered?

-Are you going to do an unboxing cam broadcast?

-Oh, that sounds fun.

-Is there an unboxing cam broadcast?

“What’s an unboxing cam broadcast?”

-Ah ah ah ah ah.

-Just do it!!!!!!

-Roje’s hands… Ugh…

ㄴDeleted Message.

Why do they like cam broadcasts so much?

I’m a VTuber.

“There are plenty of unboxing videos on YouTube, so just watch those.”

I picked up the box from the back, leaving the chat room that was in chaos from my words.

Thump!

“This is the sound of the box.”

Since they couldn’t see it, I tapped the box with my palm to let them hear.

-Oh oh.

-The sound is nice.

-Box quality is good?

-Must be using a nice box.

“What? It’s just an ordinary delivery box. What quality is good?”

-Ha ha ha ha.

-Wonhyo’s master skull water is legendary, ha ha ha.

-I thought it was a product box;

“I need a cutter kn*fe… I don’t see it. Wait a moment, I’ll go get a kitchen kn*fe.”

-Why would you bring a kitchen kn*fe instead of a cutter kn*fe, you idiot?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-A kitchen kn*fe is more convenient, ha ha ha ha.

I brought the kitchen kn*fe, cut the tape, and set it back down.

“Oh, the box is pretty, isn’t it?”

I took out the product box and placed it on the desk, casually tossing the remaining delivery box behind.

-What did you just throw?

-Didn’t you just throw the delivery box?

-What do you mean?

Huh? Did that sound go through?

Just because the microphone picks up subtle sounds doesn’t mean it’s a good thing…

I realized an unexpected disadvantage of an expensive microphone.

“I’ll take out the product now.”

I took out the instruction manual and necessary items and closed the box lid to keep the rest from falling out, then tossed it near the delivery box.

-Did that sound get through again?

-Isn’t that box noise?

-Are the neighbors doing construction?

There’s no need to reveal the truth, so I ignored it and looked at the instruction manual to install the necessary apps on my computer.

“Now… if I connect it… Oh, is it done?”

It asked me to set the range according to the room size, so I stood up from the chair and walked back and forth between the ends of the soundproof booth.

Ah, the boxes…

The boxes I tossed earlier were in the way, so I opened the soundproof booth door and tossed them out.

-Hey, can you keep it down a bit, it’s noisy.

-It keeps making noise.

-Isn’t it a setup issue?

-If it keeps making that noise, it sounds like a setup issue.

“Hmm… If it makes noise one more time, I’ll check it.”

That shouldn’t happen, so I answered nonchalantly and tried using the VR device.

“Oh…!”

That’s amazing!

“What should I do first?!”

Since I hadn’t linked the chat yet, I took off the VR gear to check the chat on the monitor.

-Hahaha, it’s so cute.

-Dude, don’t get excited, I’ll end up with a concussion.

-Look at how excited they are, ha ha ha.

-Roje is definitely cute.

-Aoo, this girl is once again about Yuk-su.

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Bubbling…

…I shouldn’t have looked.

Lately, every time I do something, the chat tries to gaslight me by saying it’s cute, so I diligently ignored it today and installed an FPS game where you sh**t zombies, which I had wanted to play for ages.

“That sounds fun.”

…But it’s taking too long?

The estimated download time exceeded two hours.

Sigh… It’s a bit ambiguous to play today.

“I’ll install this after ending the broadcast, and we can play it tomorrow, so let’s try another game now.”

-Experience a fear of heights, let’s go.

-How about picking up a cake from a high place?

-Hahaha, let’s rock this VR beginner game.

Hmm, it seems the viewers prefer watching me suffer. Is that the kind of suggestion they give me?

Hmm… But then it actually seems okay?

Regardless of the viewers’ intentions, I think it’s a good choice for me, a VR beginner, so I decided to go for it.

-They’re actually going to play this, ha ha ha.

-Do you enjoy suffering?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Yay!!! I’ll finally get to see this girl suffer.

ㄴDeleted Message.

Honestly, being in a soundproof booth and not feeling the wind, with the mat on my feet from the soundproof booth, I became curious whether I’d feel such great fear just from visuals.

Once the download finished, I started the game.

I decided to play around with various elements rather than jumping straight into the main content.

“It looks like it’s possible to fly with this?”

After learning how to operate it by pressing various buttons on the controllers, I tried to go up into the sky.

“Oh oh…!”

This is really amazing?!

Is VR this good?!

It seems the visual experience dominates; even though I’m definitely feeling the mat’s texture on my feet, I felt like I was flying.

“Wow… that’s fascinating—”

Huh? Why can’t I see the chat? I set it up before…

Ah… I didn’t set it to display in the game…

Tsk… I can’t help it…

Even if I can’t manage the chat myself, the moderators will handle it, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

“But in this state, I don’t think I can feel anything scary?”

Hmm… Usually, when I say something like this, the chat should respond with “hahaha, let’s see later”…

And I should also see comments like ‘this girl is being cocky again, hahaha,’ but…

As the chat that was always on the right side of the screen during the broadcast disappeared, I felt something was missing.

“…Let’s finish this quickly.”

Realizing that one of the fun elements of my broadcast had vanished, the excitement I had just felt dwindled.

I quickly moved to a spot on the building’s rooftop with a wooden plank.

“Cake… how do you set this up? I think I’ll just skip it; it’s annoying.”

In this case, I should ideally encounter chat comments like ‘Aoo, you idiot! Just try this kind of thing!’

However, seeing only the same sentiments as before, it felt correct to finish quickly and set up the chat to be visible again.

Still, in order to extract some YouTube-worthy moments, I tried my best to not show it and moved my feet onto the plank.

“Oh…”

To enhance immersion, I didn’t use the controller and moved my body directly, and it certainly felt more realistic.

“Hmm, is there anyone here with a fear of heights?”

Imagining the lack of response, I said the next words.

“There seems to be a few people. If so, please step out. I’ll give you 3 seconds. 3, 2, 1!”

I counted down and took a step to the right.

Suddenly, my viewpoint began to fall downwards.

“That’s fascinating, this really feels realistic!”

As I moved my head around in the air, I was respawned back on the building’s rooftop.

What kind of reaction will this provoke?

With a pounding heart, I took off my VR gear and checked the chat.

-You fucking idiot, why are you acting up all of a sudden?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-For the love of God, please turn on your blinker!!!!!!!!!

-What’s up with this crazy girl today???!!!!! Oh!!!!!! No wait????!!!!!! Thinking about it, hasn’t it always been like this???!!!!!!!!!!

ㄴDeleted Message.

“Heh, this is fun.”

Deleting the chats of those cursing at me, I simply enjoyed the moment.

I guess I’m the type who has to monitor the chat while broadcasting.
