Well-organized attire.
Beneath the helmet visor, seductive and slender red lips.
Through the gap, a pale, slightly exotic voice flowed.
Though her outfit was shameless, there’s always an aura that emanates from the atmosphere.
“Just as expected.”
Watching the insane influx of viewers, Dayoung let out a wry smile.
Friede, Sehee unni had adapted well on her own, without needing any help from Dayoung.
She had been streaming for quite some time.
A woman with such an atmosphere and beauty, streaming, would surely turn all the stagnant broth-obsessed otakus into fanatics.
The proof was the 5,000 viewers.
‘First stream, and within an hour, to get this many…’
In her memory, there had been no streamer who had reached these numbers in their first broadcast.
“Ah, she’s carrying it.”
While absentmindedly watching the game, a comment slipped out.
Even professional gamers didn’t show this kind of play.
Each move seemed to have a magnetic pull.
There was no way people wouldn’t be drawn to it.
Unless she committed a heinous crime, she’d probably be shielded even if involved in some kind of scam.
“Is there a difference in rank, even among heroes?”
Dayoung didn’t ask Sehee for the specifics, but it seemed clear that their abilities as heroes were different.
‘Was the gameplay she was showing part of that power?’
Her physical stats had increased after awakening as a hero, but this was still beyond what she’d experienced.
‘No, what was the point?’
In the modern Earth, with no monsters or demons, such thoughts seemed ridiculous.
***
“Three wins in a row… Shall we take a short break?”
With Sehee unni’s performance wrapping up the game neatly, it seemed they were taking a break.
[That was fast, thank goodness, Sensei.]
[Unni, you’re doing great even with a broken sword!]
[Have you thought about trying another weapon?]
“Another weapon… Hmm, should I ask for a recommendation?”
Right, good communication.
That’s how it should be.
Dayoung praised Sehee’s actions internally.
No matter how fun something is, it gets stale if the repertoire doesn’t change.
Sehee seemed to catch the subtle moments for shifting the flow of the broadcast, so Dayoung felt more at ease.
The stream took a short break.
Viewers in the chat room, disappointed by the absent broadcaster, were unleashing a barrage of playful comments.
Dayoung, watching the broadcast, stretched and relaxed her tense mind.
It was then.
As she tilted her head at the personal message notification and opened the panel, an unexpected message caught her eye.
[Friede: Thanks, Dayoung.]
“Wait, how can you message me suddenly during the broadcast?”
‘And to say thanks?’ I should be the one thanking her.
Dayoung had already started her return broadcast the day before, surpassing 10,000 live viewers without anyone’s help.
It was an exponential improvement compared to the past, during the “Hako” days.
Though some sympathy might have come from the nuclear controversy, Dayoung felt that there were no obstacles left to her broadcasts after breaking the curse of the Demon King.
That’s why she owed a huge debt to Sehee.
No, it wasn’t just a debt.
She was truly grateful to Sehee for helping her.
In this world, Dayoung was the hero who had saved many people, and Sehee was the hero who had saved her.
[Forming: No need to thank me. If you do well, I’ll just leech off you like a parasite. Brace yourself.]
Still, feeling somewhat embarrassed, Dayoung sent a slightly irritated message.
She wished she had been kinder, but before she could regret it, Sehee’s reply made her smile.
[Friede: Let’s do our best together.]
A grin spread across Dayoung’s face.
Now that the water had entered, it was time to row the boat and sail smoothly.
Just as she thought everything was going well, a twist happened.
At the moment the broadcast began, [GoldenSunFrog has issued a mission for 300,000 won!]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
“What is this?”
The expensive mission displayed on the screen.
Dayoung’s face contorted at the vulgar wording.
“Hehehe!”
Looking at Dayoung, who had flopped onto the bed in “snoring mode,” a nasty smile curled on her lips.
Well, she wasn’t really sleeping.
What she was wearing on her head was a virtual reality device.
Since it was her first time doing a VR stream, she was waiting as backup.
“Thanks to this, the computer is mine now!”
On her monitor screen, various communities like Soul Warfare Gallery and Soul Warfare Outben were visible.
The cheap, dirty, yet oddly adorable frog feet scuttled across the keyboard.
-Click, click
The long post was completed, and the skinny figure finally pressed the Enter key.
The reaction was hotter than she had imagined.
[Breaking News! Friede’s broadcast has begun! [387]]
[Author: Skinny]
[Currently live! (Link)]
[I was browsing Switch and came across an amazing stream title.]
[(Posted broadcast screenshot)]
[You see this title? Friede’s using clickbait, with only 1 viewer.]
[At first, I thought it was some low-budget thing!]
[But turns out the buffaloes are flooding in all over, causing buffering!]
[Took over a minute just to load in.]
[Anyway, it’s not clickbait or trolling, you guys.]
[Friede unni finally pulled off the broadcast promise!]
[Recommendation: 1489 / Disrecommend: 89]
[Huh, is this for real? The broadcast is legit?]
[I heard she was supposed to do an interview with Ji, and today’s the day!]
[I’ve been waiting for this, but I didn’t even get a heads up.]
[Hurry up and join, she’s still ranking!]
[After hearing her voice, I now get why broth is brewed. I’m hooked already.]
[Ah, I can’t resist her voice.]
[Girls, you better watch out!]
[Nah, she’s hiding her face, so she’s probably either a skinny fish or a pig.]
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you know that with that voice, the face can easily be guessed too?”
“My broth, brewed for 15 years in a cauldron, is screaming out loud that you’re a beauty!”
“I don’t know this person, but how’s the content? Is it worth watching?”
“It’s her first stream, so nothing special.”
“If I had to point something out, she’s casually vomiting ‘om-pi-con’ like breathing.”
“That ‘om-pi-con’ thing caused a cheating controversy with this user.”
“If it’s cheating, isn’t it a problem? Why is everyone getting so excited?”
“(Link) Look here.”
“She was cleared of any cheating accusations with GM certification and won by a landslide.”
“She’s truly a transcendent beauty, a goddess.”
“This bastard… Bikini armor and dolphin pants… It’s so grandiose.”
“Ha-ha, these crazy bastards are all getting worked up together.”
As expected, the reaction was just as she anticipated.
A satisfied smile lingered on Pepe’s face.
This is neither a buffalo nor a stupid cow.
They’re like a hybrid breed born from the proper mixing of various kinds of cows.
And that’s why the broth is this thick and spicy.
She thought to herself that she had already thrown the bait and lit the firebomb, so now it was time to access the Twitch channel.
Her goal was, of course, to watch Friede’s Soul Warfare stream.
“Stupid bitches. You should thank me.”
She’s a Hero, so she wouldn’t betray her loyalty like those North Korean bastards.
On the monitor, the stream was going well.
‘Where does the true appeal of Soul Warfare come from?’
It comes from the urgent action that makes you hold your breath just by watching it.
Friede’s flashy play and movements showed the extreme beauty of Soul Warfare, so the viewers’ eyes were naturally drawn to it.
But… there was something slightly lacking, Pepe instinctively felt it.
After the first match ended, she saw a donation message from a guy named ‘TaeYangManSe’ and became more certain of her feeling.
“Fucking bastard, no fan service.”
“If you’re wearing bikini armor and dolphin pants, shouldn’t you live up to it?”
Pepe was disappointed by that.
It was such a missed opportunity.
Friede’s stream had to succeed…
‘Our Da-young also has to rise along with this bitch.’
With that thought in mind, she couldn’t just sit idly by anymore.
If she took just one more step, the popularity of the stream would skyrocket.
It was like standing before a forbidden fruit, contemplating.
The sweet, hidden touch of corruption was even more tempting.
Pepe checked the amount in the linked account.
It was the streamer-only donation account that Da-young had secretly set up.
While Da-young was distracted in the virtual world, Pepe had stealthily connected it to his own account.
Of course, it was an illegal double account made with Da-young’s personal information, but that was hardly an issue for Pepe.
Because…
“Wait for it, bitch. I’m going to make your stream rise even higher.”
I’m going big.
Pepe immediately typed the mission input message and casually sent it off.
[Golden Sun Frog has donated 300,000 KRW for the mission!]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
“Oh, Golden Sun Frog? You’re not the same person as TaeYangManSe, right? Like I said earlier, I’m not doing that kind of reaction.”
[Shit… TaeYangManSe is doing this again… So annoying.]
[The wording is so trashy, but damn it’s so hot. Is this normal?]
[Being abnormal isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s about overcoming it.]
[You idiot, the host already said she wouldn’t do it. Stop spamming.]
The reactions were, as expected, negative.
But Pepe knew.
After all, she was a hero who fought against the evil demon lord, so she was a weapon.
There was no way these guys didn’t have dark, twisted desires in their hearts.
They would like it too.
Pepe clenched her teeth.
[Golden Sun Frog has donated 1,000,000 KRW for the mission!]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
“I don’t do that kind of mission. Sorry.”
[Oh no! Stop, Golden Sun! You’re crossing the line!]
[Is there really someone out there who’s throwing money at trashy reactions?]
[They must be so bored with their money. Ha-ha.]
[But 1 million won is a bit too much, don’t you think?]
[Don’t kill the mood, you bastard.]
Friede’s polite refusal.
But as the amount kept rising, a new breeze started to blow through the chatroom.
Pepe, unsatisfied with just this, added more money with bloodshot eyes.
[Golden Sun Frog has donated 2,000,000 KRW for the mission!]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Wow, 2 million won?!]
[This guy must have given up on real life. Ha-ha.]
[Mom, I want to become broth too. Mom, I want to become broth too. Mom, I want to become broth too. Mom, I want to become broth too. Mom, I want to become broth too.]
Friede maintained her silence, and Pepe’s eyes flared with anger.
“Can you handle this?!”
[Golden Sun Frog has donated 3,000,000 KRW for the mission!]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Sexy Zero Two Dance, do it.]
[Huh… What now?]
[What are you going to do?]
[The host is silent, I guess she’s having an internal conflict, huh? Ha-ha.]
Ah, you could tell she was struggling.
This was it.
Pepe, along with all the viewers watching Friede’s stream, felt it instinctively.
If she played this right…
“Hurry up, bitch. Didn’t you wear that tempting outfit for this?!”
Pepe urged from outside the monitor.
She was so immersed that she didn’t even notice…
“Hey…”
A cold voice cut through the air like a breeze.
“Daeh?”
Pepe jumped in surprise and turned around, only to see Park Da-young, his eyes burning with sharp anger, glaring at her.
