Chapter 4: It was too much money to refuse.
To play CanadaStory, the game recommended by my Doolgis, I need to create an ID first.
“Oh, I turned off the stream? Gotta start it again.”
<Stream Started>
“Doolgis!! I’m here! I installed the game!!!”
–Who ends a stream to install a game lol
–Right here lol
–lol
–I had low blood pressure, now it’s high lol
–Take responsibility lol
“But how do I play this?”
–SipeJjang donated 1,000 KRW.
[The OG server is Scrnoir, Scrnoir!! Start in Scrnoir, and I’ll help!!]
–Talking about OGs lol
–Isn’t that the OG server?
–Nah, all servers are fake OGs
–Isn’t Zeusnoos the OG?
–For real lol
“Hm, I’ll pass on the help! I’ll figure it out myself!”
I set the server to random, created a character, and logged in. A weird NPC greeted me.
‘Welcome, adventurer embarking on a grand journey.’
“Skip!!!!”
–No, watch the story!!!!!
–Don’t spam the skip button!!!!
–It’s a story-driven game!!!
–Watch the story!!!!
“Hehe, I don’t do that! Trust me!”
I spammed the skip button and skipped all the story.
Now what do I do?
“Uh… my Doolgis? What now?”
–The quests are random, you need to watch the story!!!!!!!!
–You skipped it all lol
–How do we proceed now? lol
–Check the quest window!
–Open the quest window!!!
–Hoshi donated 1,000 KRW.
[Open the quest window!! Quest window!!!]
“Eh? Quest window? There’s such a thing? Cool. What’s it look like? Windows are pointy, right?”
–lol
–lol
–lol
–lol
–lol
[Not a real window, open the quest list!!! Not a stabbing window!!!]
“Eh? What’s the button?”
–1stEpisodeVillain donated 1,000 KRW.
[Is this donation bait? So smart lol]
“Hm? Bait what? Where’s the quest window!?”
–QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

–QQQQQQQQQQQQQ
–QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
–QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
“Eh? Q? Oh, it opened! I can finally proceed! Thanks! You’re the best, Doolgis!”
This must be collective intelligence! My stream with Doolgis is unstoppable!
[Viewers: 760]
–Najakss, why so many viewers?
–Only one streamer like this at this hour?
–Who streams in the morning lol
–Our streamer’s diligent!
“Oh, I’m jobless, so I’ve got nothing else to do. I’m glad so many Doolgis are here!!”
–My heart hurts…
–Is she lowkey roasting us? Watching a stream at this hour with nothing to do.
–Roast us more, please.
–Police, over here!!!!!!!
I checked the quest window, and it said to kill snails.
<Kill 5 Blue Snails>
“It says to kill snails! Where are snails in the village?”
–At the hunting ground?
–Why would snails be in the village!? Go to the hunting ground!
–Go right all the way!!!
–You know left and right, right?
“What!? I know that much! Just go right, yeah?”
I went right and hit a wall.
“What!? It stops here, what do I do!? Is this the bug I heard about!?”
–MoeHillwoo donated 1,000 KRW.
[Press the up arrow on the blue light pillar lol]
“Oh, here!? Wow!! The screen changed!! Amazing!!”
–No worries about content here. How long did it take to reach a hunting ground?
–A unique stream! lol
–Supply meets demand lol
–Who else streams like this lol
–Her voice is carrying this lol
–No cam stream? Bet she’s super cute
–Trust and get betrayed. Imagine your ideal streamer
–Crazy guy
–Hangagil donated 1,000 KRW.
[No cam stream? No cam stream? No cam stream? No cam stream? No cam stream?]
“Eh? Cam stream, like showing my face? I’m too shy, no way.”
Plus, I don’t have a cam.
Oh, I bought one. That weird-looking camera?
No way! Absolutely not! Show my face to people!? Impossible!!!
–DingDongDeng donated 1,000,000 KRW.
[Do a cam stream, and I’ll donate another 1,000,000 KRW.]
“…Huh?”
–Chairman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–Chairman’s here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–Please do a cam stream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–So curious, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–Don’t betray my expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–Definitely a black-haired beauty, right!?????????
“Why would you give so much money just to see my face!?”
I don’t get why my face is worth that much money.
“Ugh, I’m shy, so I’ll do it briefly at the end.”
Gotta earn money. That much could buy me chicken tomorrow.
I’m sick of ramen… so sick of it…
–DingDongDeng donated 1,000,000 KRW.
[Do a cam stream now, and I’ll donate 5,000,000 KRW.]
“…Eh?”
With such a huge amount on the line, will Luna do a cam stream?
Waiting with anticipation for Luna to turn on the cam.
“Ugh, I’ll turn it on now. Can you check if it’s working?”
The long-awaited moment.
The cam turns on, revealing Luna’s face.
“…Wow.”
A young-looking girl with black hair and purple eyes, undeniably youthful but claiming to be an adult.
Cute enough to pass as a child actor, the kind you’d want to buy candy for if you saw her on the street.
–Really an adult!??????????????
–That face is an adult!?????????
–It’s legal!????????????????
–Crazy guy, you’ll get arrested!!!!!!!!!!!
–???????????????
–????????????????????
“Ugh, I showed you, so I’m turning off the cam. I’m shy…”
The cam stream ended quickly, but she didn’t know how to delete the replay.
The replay captured her appearance, and to make it go viral, it had to spread fast.
[Breaking News!! Luna streamer cam stream!!!!!]
└Adult!? Adult!? Adult!? Adult!? Adult!?
└Legal!? Legal!? Legal!? Legal!? Legal!?
└Crazy guys, watch what you say, you’ll get sued!
└Insane. I’m subscribing now!!!!!
└I’d love to be roasted by that face just once.
└Crazy guy, police, over here!!!!!!!!
My post went viral instantly, and I didn’t expect the stream to blow up too.
“Ugh, I’m shy, so I’ll end the stream here!”
<Stream Ended>
–Don’t gooooooooooooooooooooo
–Please don’t gooooooooooooooooooooo
–I’ll die if you gooooooooooooo
–Don’t gooooooooooooooooooooo
–Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
–Turn it back onnnnnnnnnnnnn
“Oh, I ended the stream without accepting donations.”
I’m the crazy one… I did a cam stream for money but didn’t take it.
Do I know how to do anything right? Should I die? Wouldn’t that help the world?
I keep thinking depressing thoughts, but streaming’s made things a bit better.
Before getting kicked out, I was self-harming. Compared to then, I’m practically a fairy now.
Ugh, I’m hungry… but I made a lot today, so maybe I can eat chicken?
I didn’t get the 5,000,000 KRW, but I got 2,000,000 KRW.
Plus, other donations added up.
This should be enough for chicken today, right? Hehe.
Then a text message buzzed.
<Landlord here. When are you paying the rent?>
“…Oh, it’s rent day. Guess it’s ramen again.”
Sniffling, I paid the overdue rent with big sister’s money, leaving my balance in shambles.
I know donations can’t be withdrawn right away.
Ugh, why’s my life like this…
It was a gloomy day.
