Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 57

A simple black background screen, one of the defaults provided by Twitti.

White text written on the black background.

– Please don’t donate. No reactions.

Clack.

With the small sound of a door opening, soon a soft and sweet female voice that could melt ears is heard.

– Ah. The delivery arrived, so I’ll be back in a moment.

A casual tone as if saying she would stop by a convenience store on the way.

But even that light remark without content stuck clearly in her ears due to the melodious tone that was pleasing to hear.

Even she, as a woman herself, felt that the voice was lovely.

The Hako streamer and new YouTuber, Hayun, was suddenly envious of Serin’s voice.

‘How can a voice be like this…?’

She felt that even a professional voice actor wouldn’t be able to produce such a pleasant voice.

While she was thinking that carelessly, Hayun glanced at the cup ramen in her sight.

‘I want to eat galbitang too.’

While some are saving up living expenses to prepare for broadcasting, others are eating galbitang right after starting in success.

That reality felt pitiful, but there was no way to deny it.

Slurp.

She lifted the cup ramen and stuffed the noodles into her mouth, chewing them slowly and deliberately. While tasting the flavor of the instant cup ramen she had eaten to boredom, Hayun checked the number of viewers on the screen in front of her.

– 11,352 people.

The streamer Lin, after finishing Another World, was maintaining more than 10,000 viewers while doing casual talk.

[Did Lin go?]

[I suddenly want galbitang too]

[At least do a mukbang]

[I’m okay with just showing the food and body without showing your face lol]

[Please, don’t show too much broth lol]

[How is her voice so pretty?]

[The fact that it’s her real voice is legendary lol]

Despite receiving plenty of donations, the chats that had been lively for several minutes were now filled with gentle messages, as Lin, who intended to end the broadcast after just two hours, announced.

Just one word changed the atmosphere.

– Um… I’ll stretch for just 5 minutes.

Right after shutting down Another World, a fragile voice that sounded like suffering was heard. Upon hearing that voice, the viewers immediately changed their attitude, showing concern for the streamer Lin.

It felt almost like she was playing with the viewers using just her natural voice.

“Ahh.”

Hayun inadvertently paused to make a sound while eating the cup ramen.

Even her own voice didn’t sound too bad to her. But it couldn’t compare to the lovely voice of the streamer Lin she had just heard.

Ultimately, Hayun kept her mouth shut and just watched the broadcast.

– Lin Tube… I think it’ll be fine. If there are any editors who have experience or would like to apply, please send it to the email address that’s written below the channel. It would be even better if you could attach a simple self-PR video. Speaking of which, I think broadcasting a content to select an editor the day after tomorrow would be nice.

It was only two days after starting her journey as a streamer, and she was already talking about selecting an editor for NewTube.

As if she thought she was something special, she casually invited people to send their self-PR videos or resumes to the email written below the channel.

Upon seeing that, Hayun chuckled softly while pausing to eat her cup ramen.

And after that laugh, Hayun muttered, “…Seriously. I’m jealous.”

It was a statement filled with sincerity.

After all… the person streaming right now was indeed someone who amounted to something.

The streamer Lin was someone who had already succeeded from the very beginning.

In just two days since starting her broadcast, gathering 10,000 viewers could only mean massive success.

Moreover, Hayun had never seen anyone succeed faster than Lin.

Usually, when starting out, one would edit themselves and manage their channel, but she was hiring an editor to manage a NewTube channel right from the start.

Could this be the dignity of a large corporation? Yet, Hayun thought that Serin might not be aware of the costs of hiring an editor.

Kim Hayun, having not broken out of Hako even after several months of creating a NewTube channel, had even considered hiring a professional editor about a month ago.

However, once she learned about the hiring rates, which turned out to be more expensive than expected, she dropped the idea immediately.

The rates for hiring professional editors were set at amounts that were simply impossible to cover with part-time work.

Moreover, even if she hired a professional editor at a high cost, there was no guarantee that the NewTube video would go viral, so for Hayun, who was struggling with day-to-day expenses, the risk was far too great.

[No matter how many NewTube videos you upload, hiring a proper editor will cost a lot of money.]

So unconsciously, Hayun typed in the chat.

At first, it was meant to suggest she should try editing herself, and while it was undeniable that success was evident, it was still hoped that streamer Lin would take things slow and steady.

After typing that in the chat, Hayun hurriedly pulled her hands away from the keyboard.

‘Who is giving advice to whom right now…?’

It was like she was sticking her nose into someone else’s business while not being able to take care of her own affairs.

– Someone mentioned in the chat that hiring an editor would be quite costly. I think if you find a NewTube editor, you should naturally pay them an appropriate fee. Afterward, I also plan to consult with Plea about ensuring that the financial aspect is properly taken care of.

As if she had read Hayun’s chat among the rapidly scrolling messages, the streamer Lin responded similarly.

“…Does she have a lot of savings?”

Watching that scene, Hayun felt that Lin seemed to be quite comfortable.

After all, to say she would reasonably take care of payment without hesitation was remarkable.

She wondered if she had several million won in her bank account.

[Are you really going to make a NewTube channel???]

[Lin’s decisiveness to say she’ll hire an editor after just seeing the chat, what is that? lol]

[Just having passion is enough to get hired?]

[I should just send it]

[Me too lol]

[If I become an editor, is it really possible to meet Lin?]

[You’re crossing the line again.]

[The NewTube videos related to Lin are all irritating. Lin should be the one making profits from them.]

[But if you’re an editor of Lin Tube, isn’t success guaranteed even before it starts?]

Then suddenly, Hayun saw the chat that said being an editor for Lin Tube meant success was guaranteed even before starting.

“Hmm…?”

That message felt like a huge hammer striking her head all of a sudden.

Thud!

Quickly putting down her cup ramen, Hayun hurriedly typed in the chat.

[Does Lin have any specific forms or preferred editing styles she prefers?]

At that moment, none of her role as a streamer or new YouTuber mattered at all.

The only thing that mattered was her almost sticky and dark feelings towards the streamer Lin. Suddenly, those feelings sank, and Hayun was reminded of something else.

– Opportunity.

Just thinking about it for a moment after seeing the chat made her realize this was a tremendous opportunity.

It felt like someone had openly displayed a massive pot of honey, inviting people to scoop from it.

Honey.

Literally, honey.

The streamer Lin was already comparable to a corporate streamer.

The view counts of the videos she had seen related to Lin were all breaching extraordinary numbers.

Rustling.

A small sound seemed to come from unwrapping the food, and soon, a lovely voice was heard.

– Forms or preferred editing styles? To be honest, I don’t really know either. I just think whoever makes a video that looks good to me will do. I’m still making my channel.

In that moment, Hayun felt a rush of elation as it seemed like Serin was responding to her chat.

From among countless chats, it felt as if her message had been read consecutively, making it seem almost destined.

“I absolutely… must apply. I have to become this person’s editor!”

Hayun felt like she had to risk everything to become Lin’s NewTube editor.

Having watched Serin’s stream without missing a moment, she remembered clearly.

Moreover, it wasn’t that she would take her time selecting an editor after receiving applications by email; Lin had unmistakably said she would broadcast the selection process over the air the day after tomorrow.

This meant that other competitors likely didn’t know this information.

It suggested that well-known or established editors might not apply to become Lin’s editor.

As she rushed to sift through the materials she had gathered while analyzing streamers and the user Lin, Hayun began to write the content to send to Serin via email and started making a video related to Lin.

Even those few minutes—no, even those few seconds—felt precious.

***

She picked up the large pieces of meat from the galbitang with her chopsticks and lightly dipped them in the sauce before bringing them to her mouth.

“…!”

Soon, the rich aroma of meat spread throughout her mouth, naturally softening Serin’s expression.

It’s delicious.

Meat is always right.

“How about galbitang for dinner, viewers?”

Without realizing it, she was recommending galbitang to the viewers.

[Is this galbitang ASMR?]

[Even just the sounds are making it look so delicious lol]

[This is ear-gasm; madness!]

[You’re really making us crave galbitang lol]

[Can’t you just upload today’s Twitti replay video fully on NewTube?]

[Honestly, even without edits, there would be tons of people wanting to watch it.]

[Galbitang viral;]

There were many chats about the galbitang she was currently eating, but her previous mentions about NewTube were still visible. Seeing that, Serin began to have serious thoughts about NewTube.

The videos about her that she had glanced at all recorded hundreds of thousands of views. And realizing those videos indeed represented considerable money made her feel that creating her channel sooner rather than later was the right thing to do.

Ultimately, realizing someone was profiting off her appearance highlighted the need to create her channel quickly.

As her thoughts got organized, Serin paused while eating the galbitang and opened her mouth slowly.

“Ahh. I’ll talk a bit more about NewTube for a moment.”

Even now, there were about 10,000 viewers watching her broadcast.

Among them, there might be someone who is an editor, and it didn’t matter if there wasn’t.

Someone might spread the news elsewhere.

“Well, I think it’s a bit too tight to pick someone right away tomorrow, so let’s say two days from now? Today is August 1st, so I’ll find my NewTube channel editor with the viewers during the broadcast on August 3rd.”
