[TS] Formula One Streamer - Chapter 67
The day after the conclusion of the KiwiChi Championship, which flowed like a storm.
So, on the morning of February 8th at 8 o’clock.
Twenty-five-year-old Lee Haeri, a jobless graduate from a prestigious university in Seoul, woke up sharp at the exact moment her alarm rang.
More famously known as the Kiwi streamer Haerari, she indulged in a hearty bowl of cereal with milk on that golden weekend Saturday morning, and without even showering, she jumped into her capsule.
“Avatar screen.”
At her call, a mirror appeared, and an avatar mirroring her appearance emerged, with various clothes and cosmetics laid out.
With skilled hands she had used hundreds of times before, Haeri began to beautify her appearance.
In For One, where cosmetic surgery wasn’t possible, embellishing her appearance meant putting on makeup.
It was a very tedious process, just like in reality.
Her pretty face played a significant role in drawing 4,000 fixed viewers to her broadcast despite her F5 rank.
“I have to… let’s do it.”
Though it was a bothersome task, it was a necessary step before turning on the broadcast.
After curling her eyebrows upward with an eyelash curler, painting her lips with a glossy fuchsia tint, and lightly applying powder with a careful cushion control that rivaled her driving technique.
She showcased a remarkable skill, drawing perfectly symmetrical eyeliner on both sides in one go, a feat deemed impossible among women.
With the speed of a streamer seasoned for three years, Haeri finished her makeup and looked into the mirror.
A small face with a smooth jawline, slightly upward-turned corners of her eyes, a sharply defined nose bridge, and full lips.
Despite looking a bit fierce as a fox girl with her delicate features, her enchanting ability to transform into an adorable puppy face with a smile was her secret weapon.
As she neatly arranged her chestnut brown hair falling to her shoulders, she finished her final check and let out a deep sigh.
“Hah… this is so d*mn annoying. Why does this stupid game make me go through this every time without having a save for appearance?”
Lee Haeri spilled crude words that didn’t fit her pretty face and beautiful lips.
Perhaps due to the malicious expression on her face.
Somehow, she looked like a delinquent.
However, even this foul-mouthed girl had moments when she transformed into a pure and innocent woman.
“Hello, viewers! This is Haerari! Thank you for coming on a weekend morning. Today, as always, we’ll be doing a ranking match!”
[Ha(rae)ri haha]
[Hahaha~]
[Harry’s eye land from Saturday morning… so good]
[You look pretty again today ㄷㄷ]
[Her intros are really innocent lol]
[Just because the intro is innocent haha, if she loses a ranking match, her true self pops out right away?]
[Isn’t that Harry’s charm?]
[Her pretty face and the contrary tone. I want to be stepped on heeheung…]
[The delusional guy is back. Manager, please ban this guy;;]
That was the moment she transformed into the streamer Haerari.
Just as there are no eternal lies in this world, there are also no eternally hidden truths.
This also applied to streamer Lee Haeri, who wore the mask of innocence and purity.
“Hah, d*mn…”

② Noob123 1:46:112 +0.191

⑭ Haerari 1:49:003 +3.082
Once she smashed the fastest lap and her ranking in the match, her true nature was inevitably revealed.
《BrokenHaerari has donated 50,000 won!》
-↑↑↑↑↑↑
[Haha, this bad guy Harry only donates when she’s screwing up haha]
[Your nickname is trash]
[But the one who donates the most can’t be banned haha]
[Hahaha, a response that bypasses the brain]
[Finally, the swearing came out?]
[Today was a lot of self-control haha]
[Industry award;;; so good…]
[Swear more. Show me the soles of your feet. Spit on me]
[Hahaha, she happened to crash at Imola*]
*The official home circuit of Ferrari located in Italy.
[Tifosi Haerari is cryingㅜㅜ]
[1ㅋㅋㅋ4주 ㅋㅋ]
[Uh, uh? Is Harry going to get demoted like this?]
[Let’s go to hell~]
“Thanks for the donation… but why do you only donate at times like this? Do you want to see someone d*e of frustration?”
However, it was the glimpses of Harry’s true nature occasionally peeking out from behind the mask that kept viewers coming back to her stream.
“This is so frustrating. That b*stard TigerStrengthBurst ruined my tires from the beginning…”
As seen in her nickname, which combines Lee Haeri and Ferrari, she was a true Tifosi.
True to her love for Ferrari, she was most confident about the three circuits in Italy.
However, while on a losing streak, she smashed both the ranking and the fastest lap at the Imola Circuit, where she practiced the most, blowing her mental state as well.
“I’ll take a short break and come back.”
[Lee Haeri’s mild version ON]
[Ah… spiciness is better!!!]
[Haha, back in the day, losing streaks meant mindless ranking matches like a chimpanzee…]
[Now I’ve evolved to about Australopithecus level. Haerari is managing her emotions too]
[Today’s driving condition seems off?]
[What do you mean today? Every day is off for real haha]
[Stop hitting her haha, she’s crying]
[Don’t torment our Haeri]
Normally, every time she experienced a losing streak, Haeri would play ranking matches with the mindset of “let’s see who wins, you or me.”
However, she had changed from the moment she achieved first place and continued a mindless race.
“KING, can I watch just one race from the KiwiChi Tournament?”
KING.
The mysterious master who kept all settings private.
“Isn’t he so cool? Watching him gives me this… boiling feeling. I really like watching KING’s races the most.”
Haeri was lost in admiration for KING’s tournament videos.
Having been familiar with fellow Kiwi streamer Sre, she was first introduced to KING through his broadcasts…
Was it from that moment that Haeri’s love for KING began?
When KING, at the time ranked F5, achieved a time of 1 minute and 11 seconds at the Monza Circuit in Italy, which she loved as a Tifosi.
She was deeply moved by KING’s beautiful driving.
Ever since then, even when KING hadn’t started streaming, Haeri had searched for all race videos of KING’s achievements.
In total, she was fanatic enough to watch all 120 ranking match race videos.
The cheers when KING debuted as a streamer and participated in the KiwiChi Championship were immense.
Haeri’s feelings for KING, Yooihyun, were sincere, and her desire to improve her skills through him was more genuine than anyone else’s.
Thus, she began to approach races by trying to exclude as many emotions as possible, hoping to resemble KING just a little.
“Hah… I wish I could meet KING just once.”
[Why do you call him teacher? He’s only 19.]
[Haha, the guy must have eaten 떡국 at least six times more;;;]
[If you play well, everyone is either a big brother, sister, or teacher.]
[For real haha, if it’s KING, he’s a master for sure.]
[Lee Hyun is indeed a god!]
[Calling someone a teacher…]
《HaeriFanNo.1 has donated 10,000 won!》
-But Haeri, if you always want to improve, why aren’t you participating in this event?
After Yooihyun’s KiwiChi Championship video ended, as she was preparing to resume ranking matches, her No. 1 fan and manager sent a donation with a question.
Haeri replied with a calm expression as if asking if she was ignorant.
“If it’s not Yooihyun, I don’t want to learn. I don’t want to learn from anyone else.”
[Where are these lowly people trying to teach me for real haha]
[Unless it’s KING, get lost haha]
[Info: Haerari is a delinquent]
[↑ Do you really know which university Lee Haeri graduated from?]
[A crazy person defining a Seoul National University graduate as a delinquent]
[If Haerari is a delinquent, is our whole country just a den of delinquents?]
[But realistically, would someone like KING teach her? He probably wouldn’t even think about participating in the event.]
[Who knows? He did collaborate with One Man Show.]
[That’s because they are upper and lower class in the first place.]
[Anyway, Haeri participating in the event would have been fun… too bad since the recruitment rank is also F5.]
[Wah, I have to spread my wings.]
《MindlessYasu has donated 5,000 won!》
-Still, there are many good streamers. Can’t you participate, Haeri?
Viewers who knew of Haeri’s infinite love for KING expressed their regret about her non-participation in the event.
“You know my personality. If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.”
Haeri’s stubbornness showed no signs of wavering.
Though she didn’t entirely lack the desire to participate in events to improve her skills and attract viewers as a streamer,
She definitely didn’t want to learn from any streamers other than KING.
“If it’s with KING, I would definitely do it…”
As she was about to return to the circuit after ending the pointless argument where the answer was predetermined.
《KING* has donated 100,000 won!》
-Would you like to race with me?
A miracle happened.

The next day, exhausted from fainting or sleeping, I woke up to find just a day left until the event registration closed. So, I got up early in the morning to check the event announcement.
<KiwiChi TV, 7th Streaming Cheongchul Aram Event>
Here’s the announcement for event details, eligibility requirements, and application.
Event Description
The Cheongchul Aram Event is a month-long event where streamer vs. streamer battles take place.

The group that earns the most points will win.
2. Eligibility

The Cheongchul Aram Event had no significant differences from what Kang Ho-yun had informed me, except for the fact that the streamer taking the student role was fixed at F5 rank.
Since F5 is exactly the middle rank in For One, going below that level would result in too low of a standard, causing the tension to drop.
Conversely, going above that would make it hard to expect growth due to the high levels, so F5 was an appropriate limit.
“F5, F5… there are more streamers in this range than I thought.”
I immediately began scouting for usable streamers, and it seemed there were quite a few in that rank, as it was crowded.
Male or female, age ranges from teenagers to those in their sixties, everything was very diverse.
With so many choices, I needed to set some criteria.
“Age in the twenties, gender doesn’t matter, and only those who are serious about ranking up…”
It goes without saying, but I couldn’t just pick anyone to be a student.
Since the Cheongchul Aram Event lasts for a month, I would inevitably form a bond with the streamer who would be my partner.
Thus, I needed to choose someone of a similar age with whom communication would flow well, and who had a clear will to achieve skill improvement.
Meanwhile, thinking of the chemistry with the partner for fun, I also needed someone who fit well with me.
Similar age, clear goal consciousness, and an appealing character that matched.
Finding a streamer like that took longer than I expected.
When one criterion was met, another would be lacking. When I seemed to find one thing, another would be missing.
Then suddenly, a female streamer with 4,000 viewers caught my attention—Haerari.
“She’s pretty…”
Her lovely looks were understandable for the number of viewers given her lacking skills.
-Haha, you piece of sh*t, that b*stard… What? What did you just say? That was not me.
A tone and audacity contrasting with such an image.
-I’ll just recap the race once. How did it happen? The pit stop timing was perfect…
An obsession for victory.
“Her character is unique.”
Thus, I decided to donate to Lee Haeri, Haerari.
《KING* has donated 100,000 won!》
-Would you like to race with me?
But the reaction was unusual.
[What is this, a real KING??]
[Wow, KING at this timing? Did you script this?]
[Dreams do come true]
[F*ck!!!! Is it really KING!!!]
[??? Is this even happening???]
[No way, when did you start watching? hahaha]
[Wow, I’m so jealous… Haerari has been saying KING KING all the time, and she became a fan now]
[Heeheung, Lee Hyun noona…]
[KING! KING! KING! KING! KING!]
[This KING x Haerari collaboration is happening hahaha]
Seeing the explosive chat rising from my donation, I turned my gaze to Haeri, wondering…
Why was she lying on the ground?
Haerari, pretending to faint on the floor.
“Will my donation be refunded…?”
Seeing her, a strong feeling of having made a wrong choice swelled within me.
