[TS] Formula One Streamer - Chapter 79
The Cheongchul Aram Event at Kiwich kicked off successfully.
With a remarkable gathering of 40 streamers, the number of viewers was impressive.
As the introductions of streamers from Team 1 to Team 20 continued, cheers and jeers from fans of the respective streamers mixed together.
No matter how popular a streamer might be, it was only natural that there were more non-fans than fans.
[Hey, get rid of those real bastards!!]
[Haha, that’s your oppa and unnie~]
[LOL, if you’re mad, just go to your oppa’s room~]
[If you don’t like it, the monk should leave, for real LOL]
[Hurry… hurry, KING come out… I’m dying…]
[sh*t, come on next number!!!]
[Let’s have some manners in the chat;;]
[Hey, at this point, this is pretty good manners for the regulars]
[Fact) This is a well-mannered scene from the regulars]
[For real LOL this is manners]
[Better than indifference…]
[Is this, like, modern… humanity?…]
The atmosphere in most of the chat room was less warm and more tangled up.
Well, according to the regulars, they say this is warm.
It seems their standard for warmth lies somewhere between mockery and criticism.
“Now, the last Team 20. Team 20 is…!”
The host, dressed sharply in a suit, took a moment before introducing the last number.
The main character is usually introduced last.
That cliché is so overused that it can become tedious, but there’s a reason clichés exist.
Because the dramatic effect is excellent.
Moreover, until the 19th place, meaning holding off the last number, the hottest figure of this event hasn’t appeared yet.
It’s obvious the effect will double.
[Hey, no one doesn’t know who it is, so hurry up and introduce them!!!]
[Waa, I’m baby Kinger, give me KING quickly]
[Finally coming out, K.I.N.G]
[Ta-da!!! Mom’s coming out!!]
[F1’s Helen Keller, Mr. Yooihyun]
[Main character appearance]
[For real, this is dragging]
[Dragging is what makes it fun. Just shut up and watch]
[The longer the wait, the sweeter the fruit]
[Old folks, steering wheel seized for 2 weeks]
At that moment, when discontent and excitement reached maximum due to the overly drawn-out anticipation from the host.
The host’s booming voice called out the name that the viewers were collectively waiting for.
“I introduce Team 20! KING, Haerari!!!”
With hands held together, KING and Haerari stepped onto the stage under the spotlight.
The mismatch between KING, resembling a feisty cat, and Haerari, sporting a crescent-eyed smile like a puppy, could not help but receive cheers from all male viewers.
[KING has returned. KING IS 100…]
[100, right? LOL]
[KING, is she KING? KING, is she KING? KING, is she KING?]
[Look at their visuals;; They’re stunning]
[The main character does need to finish with a bang]
[Wow! KING! Wow! Haerari!]
[Lee Hyun noona, I love you… so pretty. Pretty today. Pretty tomorrow.]
[Wow… Haerari is cute too, but beside KING, is this real?]
[Haerari is cute in her own way]
[That face with crazy driving? It’s why you have to love KING.]
[Mr. Yooihyun is a god]
Truly exceptionally, between the 20 teams, there was not a single jeer found in the chat room, only cheers filled every corner for KING and Haerari’s team.
This was partly due to the high ratio of male viewers at Kiwich, but it was also because their appearance was overwhelming compared to other teams.
“Hello, I am KING.”
Just having KING present.
Merely the existence of Mr. Yooihyun explained everything.
On the first day, following the extravagant opening ceremony, the long 30-day journey began.
It was the first day of an educational broadcast where the teacher and student had barely gotten close, but it seemed that Kiwich had no intention of considering the streamers.
Without the chaotic atmosphere settling down, the host unfazed announced today’s mission.
“Before the competition starts, you will receive a mission once a day. The mission can be prepared based on the circuit presented by Kiwich, and depending on the performance, the grid for that circuit in the competition will be determined, so please do your best!”
Educational broadcasts are inherently structured to become loose.
To offset that and maintain the tension of the event, a competition called a mission is held once a day, determining the grid for the main event.
Given the nature of F1 where overtaking is not easy, this mission holds significant importance.
The important missions entail.
“Race, rain condition race, fastest lap, corner cutting, 0-stop race, etc. The mission will change every time.”
A general race conducted by 20 participants.
A downpour race on a rainy day.
Corner cutting on a track with only corners.
The fastest lap achieving the best lap time.
A 0-stop race running until the tires burst, and so on.
These were missions aimed to build the basics the streamers who would become students would require to elevate the level of the main event.
While not detracting from the intent of education, they provided clear goals for learning.
“It seems like on the first day, we need to establish some hierarchy among streamers, right? Today’s circuit is the Bahrain International Circuit, and the mission is racing!”
[LOL, original school rules dictate that the first day is all about hierarchy battles LOL]
[For real, it’s an absolute noob battle begins]
[Really looking forward to it LOL, who will win?]
[But isn’t half of them here F5s? Yet calling it a noob battle LOL]
[F5s are noobs, right?]
[Those who are aware of their self-reflection as noobs will do so, then]
[The teachers, not the students, have a mission to rescue no-good streamers within two hours LOL I’m having a gag reflex.]
[We’ll leave it to fate]
[For now, Haerari is last.]
The chat room was buzzing with excitement at the news of the so-called noob battle being held.
While the astonishing driving techniques of the celestial realm drivers are points of interest in watching the race.
There is also a certain value in watching a chaotic race featuring 20 ordinary drivers of similar skill levels.
While it may not be as thrilling to see top-tier techniques, the bizarre plays that are utterly incomprehensible can still provide entertainment just by being watched.
Though they may have different meanings, both are astonishing plays that might make them hard to understand.
《Gyarulring donated 10,000 won!》
– Noob (truly a noob) battle starts!
《Park Daegi donated 30,000 won!》
– How can I wait for two hours, for real LOL
《F5 Gatekeeper donated 10,000 won!》
– Noob battle even Park Daegi can’t wait for LOL
The continuing donations all around are a clear reflection of the viewers’ inflated expectations.
After a minute’s surge of donation messages ended.
“Now, teachers and students, please move to the private room provided by Kiwich to prepare for the education and missions!”
The formal event began.
‘Finally, just me and KING…!’
Finally, Lee Haeri’s long-awaited event disguised as a one-on-one educational broadcast with KING kicked off.
The anticipation soared to the universe, knowing that KING, who is none other than a Ferrari driver, would be leading the session.
What kind of peculiar driving technique would he teach?
In what innovative ways would he train her?
Lee Haeri simply looked at her idol, trusting that whatever the teacher KING said, she could follow along.
Moreover, Lee Haeri, who watched Yooihyun’s interactive educational broadcast from Saturday, felt no hesitation at all.
While discussing driving techniques, F1’s attitude towards racing, and the essential philosophies needed before driving, she found herself nodding unknowingly.
– It’s not merely about going faster than others. F1, the basic of racing, is about becoming a faster version of yourself than you were yesterday.
Having thought of F1, For One, and driving solely as a form of entertainment until now, she could not help but be touched by her sincere attitude towards F1.
With that, euphoric Lee Haeri gazed at her idol KING with sparkling eyes, waiting for the teaching.
“Run Bahrain Circuit for 51 laps with artificial intelligence, go as you please.”
“Pardon?”
“I want to see how you drive. I will provide comments at intervals, so please do your best.”
Was she trying to educate her or not?
Where did the enriching educational structures and lectures she had seen in his streams disappear to; he simply told her to drive.
Even though Lee Haeri, who was obsessively fond of KING, perhaps felt a strong resistance toward Yooihyun’s seemingly irresponsible attitude.
Puffed up like a balloon, she timidly asked, looking for answers.
“Uh, but teacher, we have a mission today, and I wasn’t expecting a lecture…”
Lee Haeri continued to voice her complaints, but it couldn’t simply be dismissed as whining.
With F5s competing against each other, unless a significant accident occurred, ranks were mostly decided in grid order.
It’s inherently difficult to overtake in F1, so executing that difficult overtaking among F5s surely isn’t easy.
While the Bahrain Circuit does have four high-speed sections and overtakes happen frequently,
if they understood how to utilize that well, they wouldn’t be F5s.
However, this logical yet ideal small rebellion was merely that—rebellion.
“Nothing will change just by learning for two hours, so just do it, okay?”
With Lee Hyun’s displeased, stern expression cutting through, she immediately quieted down.
“I like it when KING is like this…”
With her confidence dwindling, she covered her mouth with one hand and twisted, feeling shy.
“From now on, no backtalk. That kind of weird expression and gestures are also prohibited. Do what you’re told and don’t do what you’re not supposed to.”
“Am I… being obsessed with KING? I really like being confined…”
“Oh, for real. I said no.”
[LOL this house concept is dizzying;;;]
[This is a yuri show LOL]
[Eww… hate yuri shows]
[The neighbors are filming bromance, and that’s better than this, you idiots. Want to go watch that?]
[LOL, bromance? What a cliché;;;]
[Let’s say thank you and watch this.]
[Confine me too. I want to be obsessed too. Why isn’t anyone doing that for me????]
[Wow, a super pretty girl is confining another pretty girl.]
[LOL this is it. Today is this.]
[Oh for real, these delusional fans are going crazy about this.]
[Honestly, you’re hyped too.]
[You too!]
Avoiding KING’s annoyance, Haerari escaped to the pit to adjust the settings.
KING summoned a rocking chair and comfortably lay down, observing Lee Haeri.
This chaotic space, seemingly forgetting the roles of teacher and student, was bound to achieve the highest viewership and donations among the 20 teams.
