[TS] Formula One Streamer - Chapter 63
The award ceremony was held in such a way that the fourth champion, Hamilton, presented the trophies to the third place and then the first place in order.
Pang! Pang!!
Drumroll!!!
With dazzling visual and auditory effects, the award ceremony was grandly executed as if celebrating a victory in war, and it was truly exhilarating.
– Third place! Charles Leclerc!!!
Receiving the bronze trophy shaped like a steering wheel, Charles kissed the trophy and raised it high above his head.
At this moment, I didn’t need to check to know that the chat room was blowing up.
After fully savoring the glory of third place, it was now my turn for second place.
– Second place! KING, Yooihyun!
[KING! KING! KING!]
[I love you, Noon-na!]
[It’s an honorable d*ath]
[The best girl in the region, Yooihyun… I want her]
[Yooihyun’s name is so pretty, d*mn it]
[Congratulations, sister]
[KIN… I mean QUEEN! QUEEN! This is right, right?]
[So close. If it hadn’t been for the puncture at the end, I would have been first]
[One win against the hacker, three wins against the pro. Second place in the KiwiChi Championship. Wow~ A fierce career even before debut lol]
[Max, get down!!!]
As the fanfare erupted and cheers flooded in, Hamilton approached holding the trophy.
The shape was exactly the same as Charles’s steering wheel trophy, but only the color was different—silver.
Ah… there was no second place in my dictionary.
Facing that resplendent silver, the fact that I had lost to Max, and that I had finished second for the first time in the tournament, hit me hard.
For someone like me who had always been first, second place was incredibly hard to accept, but I consoled myself with the satisfaction of the final race process.
Bending down to receive the trophy, Hamilton spoke.
“Yooihyun, based on today’s race, you were first. Congratulations, I hope to see you in the F1 tournament next time.”
His voice exuded the calmness of a current F1 champion along with a deep curiosity about me.
I replied with a firm handshake.
“Then…”
With a slight smile, Hamilton turned around.
That meant it was time for me to fully enjoy the moment of glory that was bestowed upon me.
Right. I definitely need to enjoy it.
Although I finished the tournament in second place, the journey to get here had been so grueling.
Looking back from the round of 1024 to the finals, it might seem easy because it was me, but there wasn’t a single easy opponent.
Most were ranked players, and there were F1 drivers, and even hackers.
Only after breaking through all that was I able to stand on the final stage.
Having only recently adapted to this world’s F1, For One, this was already an impressive achievement.
Huf!
I held the steering wheel, facing forward, and raised the trophy high.
The trophy reflected the light, scattering its resplendent silver in all directions.
It was a great achievement considering it was my first attempt, but I couldn’t be satisfied.
“Next time… I will return in first place!”
Being satisfied here is not who I am.
Isn’t that what being KING is all about?

[Quickly call Yooihyun teacher!!!]
[Pride of God Kingdom, KING Yooihyun]
[Korea = Yooihyun’s possession]
[d*mn it, I said I was KING Yooihyun!!!]
[How dare you call Yooihyun Yooihyun? Mod, ban this kid]
[There’s no mod here?]
[This is the first time an F1 driver has been born since Yoo Seon-jin;; What’s in the Yoo family?]
[Are you Yoo Seon-jin’s sibling?]
[Yoo Seon-jin is the third gen only child, why are you mentioning a sibling lol]
[Ah d*mn, third gen only child or whatever, just bring Sensei here—Korean.]
“Please hold on a moment. I think they turned off the chat room since the awards ceremony is ongoing.”
After revealing her identity as KING, Yooihyun, the shock of the news led the viewer count for her collaboration with Kang Ho-yun to triple to three million.
With the award ceremony concluded, the tournament had completely wrapped up, causing the official KiwiChi broadcast to explode and scattering viewers, all of whom gathered at KING as their only escape.
Even so, three hundred thousand viewers for a personal broadcast.
It was an impossible number, but during the finale’s highlight at lap 71, the total viewer count had surpassed three hundred million.
One percent of the total count could even be said to be relatively low.
‘Wow… the fact that she’s a woman is making such an impact. No, is it because of her looks?’
Kang Ho-yun, who was barely managing a million viewers, stuck his tongue out at the three hundred thousand viewers surrounding him.
His regular viewers had long since been overshadowed by those drawn in by KING.
At this point, it was embarrassing to even call it a collaboration.
Still, as Kang Ho-yun had the responsibility to keep the broadcast going until Yooihyun arrived, he created a private chat room to confine the raging viewers and was anxiously waiting for her.
After waiting for the protagonist for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes…
At the end of time passing by without a word, KING finally appeared in the private chat room.
“Hello, everyone! I’m really late, right? I’m sorry. I had so many things to take care of that it took longer than I expected.”
“KING! Why did you just arrive… Do you know how long I’ve waited?”
The main character is usually late, but with a look that said this was just way too much, Kang Ho-yun welcomed her enthusiastically.
Yooihyun playfully looked at him as he ran toward her and continued with a gentle voice.
“What do you mean ‘you’? Anyway, since my identity has already been revealed, let’s just keep it casual, Senior.”
[Haha, I recognized you since the beginning before you both acted badly~]
[What’s their relationship?]
[Academy senior and junior relationship, confirmed]
[Don’t involve my brother in this—]
[Your voice is so nice. I’m sorry for always calling you brother, KING…]
[What’s the relationship with Little KING and One Man Show????]
[Ranking 300,000 viewers, why is Little KING a thing;;]
[Info: Both attended Seol Academy; Yooihyun is a 30th-year student in her 2nd year, and Kang Ho-yun is a 28th-year student in his 4th year, so she’s a 2-year senior]
[Oh, she’s a 2-year senior? Lol]
[Amazing, isn’t it? Oh, maybe not?]
[I’m so jealous. Kang Ho-yun, you’re dead.]
《Wedded Matchmaker donated 100,000 won!》
– Date them! Pair! Date them! Pair!
Once Yooihyun appeared, the previously stagnant chat room atmosphere instantly came to life.
“Oh, it’s a good senior-junior relationship. I teach her driving techniques, and she learns from me. Well, the roles have reversed a bit?”
“I’ve learned a lot from Lee Hyun. It’s more about physical methods.”
《If I get angry, I’ll hit you! donated 50,000 won!》
– Is the school’s best girl teaching physical lessons? Wow…
[This is a reward, for real lol]
[I want it too. “Teach me” educational broadcast]
[Wow, these people are dirty; that said, I’ll go first]
[Wait, wasn’t it that this guy had a super special one against the feminine Hyun in the round of 16?]
[Oh? Isn’t that right? d*mn, tonight is this]
[Looking back, that was the best reward lol]
[A shoe smelling like a beautiful girl’s feet? This is a reward in the industry lol]
[From today, my role model is a honeysuckle badger]
[You fools.]
Even before revealing her identity, it was the same, but now just a single word from Yooihyun made the chat room explode.
What she said was the subject itself, and it was money.
Her beautiful lips moving and her soft voice elicited donations…
It wouldn’t be wrong to express it that way.
“Today, I’m too tired, so I’ll just take a few questions and then end the stream.”
Thus, KING, Yooihyun’s first Q&A session began.
*
*
*
Maybe because there were so many people.
Oh, they really asked everything possible.
“Please don’t ask questions that are too explicit.”
The existence of a boyfriend was basic, and it started from three sizes to s*xual fetishes.
There were countless things that I didn’t want to answer because they were downright disgusting.
Is this what it’s like living the life of a pretty girl?
“Where do you live? I can’t tell you that.”
“Show your feet? That’s a bit…”
“Double peace… what, what did you say?”
Though gaining benefits from the face and body of Yooihyun, there were also many things she had to endure.
At least she was receiving questions in exchange for a certain amount of donations.
With Kang Ho-yun consistently setting banned words and banning malicious users in real-time, smooth progress was somewhat possible.
“I was born in ’13 and am Korean… everyone! Please ask questions other than those I already answered in the interview.”
However, the most incomprehensible thing was the repeated questions.
They were already answered, yet there they were, asking the same things while spending money.
Do they not know the value of money…
As I made an expression of confusion, a voice arrived from Kang Ho-yun.
One Man Show: This is just the way this world is. Don’t try to understand. It’s hard.
Right. Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to understand in the first place.
Isn’t that just how internet broadcasting works?
Streamers are those who provide entertainment, and viewers are those who seek fun.
The meaning lies in enjoyment and fun itself; the pursuit of any profound philosophy regarding entertainment is nonsensical.
Simply put…
As long as you who spend money enjoy it, that’s what matters.
After achieving a moment of enlightenment, the broadcast became really easy.
“You want me to smile? …Is this good?”
“If you meet me and win, I’ll do it for you. Really.”
“Experience in dating? Never had that. I’m too busy with For One to have any time for that.”
Streamers earn money without stress, and viewers enjoy watching me, who seems half-spaced out.
This is truly a symbiotic relationship, isn’t it?
《Amta Machine donated 100,000 won!》
– Please do a double peace just once!
“Double peace? I won’t do that.”
Still, double peace was a no-go.
Time is indeed a remedy.
As time passed, the crazed malcontents and troublemakers began to leave, and even the innocent viewers who were swept away started to regain their sanity.
Normal questions of value began to come in.
– You mentioned wanting to participate in F1 during the interview. Have any teams contacted you, or is there a team you’re interested in?
“I guess maybe because the information is kept private, there haven’t been any teams that have contacted me yet. But that doesn’t mean I won’t get contacted now… As for teams I want to join, I’m not sure yet.”
– Is there a team you’d at least like? For example, Ferrari, or Ferrari…
“Thank you, Chipotty. There are teams I’m interested in, but I think I should watch a bit longer. By the way, it’s Tifosi, right?”
– I really enjoyed the last lap of the finals. How did you feel when you had a puncture while exiting the final corner?
“I felt disappointed. More than the disappointment of losing first place, I was more disappointed in myself for letting it go. I still can’t help but feel that if I had just focused until the end, I would have been okay. Still, I need to use this failure as a stepping stone to rise higher.”
Viewers were sincerely asking about future plans for F1 or details of the race from round 1024 to the finals.
I answered those questions diligently, regardless of the amount of donations.
I’m a person who believes in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
“The next question is…”
My body was exhausted after the consecutive races, but I continued to communicate, forgetting my fatigue.
Something in me, perhaps the bl**d of a driver since birth, made me feel energized when discussing F1.
Casually exchanging light conversations with Kang Ho-yun as a boost, I realized that two hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
“What time is it now?”
“It’s 11 PM in Korea.”
11 PM, 11 PM, 11 PM…
Ah, right.
Myung-jin, Ferrari, contact.
Today is the time when everything is concluding.
Only then did I remember to contact Myung-jin as promised, I clicked logout in a hurry.
[Logging out.]
“KING? Yooihyun, where are you going…”
Ah, I was streaming.
Nothing is going right.
