Ch.7268 – Feedback

[Whoa! I really thought they were complete lunatics! Good thing Adella was strong enough, otherwise you, Forest Guardian, could’ve died on your first mission!]

Thanks to Adella’s performance, we easily cleared the Observatory in the 4th run.

It actually felt easier than when I fought alone in the 1st run.

-All hail Godella, Queen Della!

-Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

-What’s with Adella suddenly fighting so well?

-Are NPC companion stats random too?

-The damage numbers look the same though

Her potential with daggers was excellent, but her skill level had always been lacking.

But I could clearly see Adella getting stronger in real-time as she fought.

NPC growth.

Unbelievable as it was, she was gradually improving beyond just stats as she battled.

“Next is the materials storage? Hmmmm… my stomach hurts a bit and I’m not feeling great. Should we just go raid the Admissions Office instead?”

However, I couldn’t continue the story.

If someone skilled could teach Adella dagger techniques it might be different, but I personally had no expertise in knife fighting.

[You have left combat.]

[Safe zone secured.]

[Would you like to pause the game?]

{Accept/Decline}

[▶Accept]

[Would you like to exit the game?]

[▶Exiting World of Arsheria.]

I need to learn dagger techniques from somewhere.

Until she gains the ability to face Jin Chronicle on her own, I don’t have the right to awaken the silent world stained in gray.

[Stream Time – 5:24:11]

[Viewers – 6299]

‘What time is it?’

It’s well past 12, when I promised to meet Professor Cheon. It’s almost 1 o’clock.

I should wrap up the stream soon.

“That’s all for today.”

-So early? It’s still lunchtime!

-lmao

-“Lunchtime”? You guys are still in the “B-league”

-So what, the “A-league” just woke up?

-Dunno about A-league but I just woke up. Why are there so many viewers compared to subscribers?

-You haven’t seen this legendary video? You’ll regret it all night lol

-Only 5 hours but today’s stream was packed (seriously packed)

-First ever 10/10/10 Part 1 clear in WoA, as a priest, with stacking penalties lol. I’m witnessing history

-Discovering the Adella hair-combing content was the biggest achievement

-Any news from the NyangsterCall 1000 task force?

-Nothing in the Discord, so I guess not

These people are fascinating no matter how many times I see them.

I think streaming is ultimately about sharing one person’s life.

Viewers experience exactly what I see and feel.

It provides a different dimension of immersion than books or movies, sometimes even deeper.

Just like when I watch a streamer in intense battle and hold my breath, or when viewers mourn Adella’s death.

Sharing the same timeline feels both embarrassing and strangely profound.

[‘SaveMeFromGradSchool’ donated ₩10,000!]

-NoName, can we at least have a chat session? Just 30 minutes… no, just 15 minutes…

“Thanks for the ₩10,000 donation. Since I was told to go to bed early… I’ll stay until exactly 1 o’clock.”

-First donation thank-you of the day, this is rare

-Small streamer actually making money

-Are you really in high school? lol “Go to bed early” lol

After closing the game, viewers dropped to the 5,000 range, but the chat was moving faster than ever.

Even with excellent dynamic vision, there’s a limit to how much information one can process.

“My head hurts… I’ll only take questions through donations.”

Well, I don’t deny being a slave to capitalism down to my bones.

[‘heureusement’ donated ₩30,000!]

-Can I add you as a friend in WoA?

The first donation wasn’t even a question but someone trying to fulfill their personal wishes.

As expected, the chat erupted in anger, pouring out all the textual violence they could muster.

“Can you add friends without a multi-account? I haven’t cleared it yet.”

-?

-?

-????

-What are you saying?

-Is this your first time playing WoA?

-Come on, say something that makes sense;;

-Your account really isn’t showing up

“I’ll remember and add you later. But the game is quite difficult, so it might take some time.”

I heard kids these days learn almost everything at Taekwondo academies. I was even surprised to see they teach English there.

If I look hard enough, I might find a place that teaches dagger techniques too.

Until I’m confident I can properly train Adella, I probably can’t start the game again.

Plus, don’t I have a performance assessment briefing tomorrow?

There must be many journals I’ve missed while in the hospital.

I need to make money quickly too… all these situations piling up are giving me a headache.

[‘LeFuSon’ donated ₩10,000!]

-How old are you, streamer?

“I’m seven years old.”

-Seventeen?

-No, just seven lol

-What’s with this random persona now?

-As long as they’re cute, who cares about age

-Gross, you pedo

Oh, is WoA Nightmare rated 15+?

A quick correction was needed.

“No, actually I’m fifteen.”

-Sure, sure

-Guess they don’t want to answer

-Are they asking for higher donations?

-Even if they said they’re 57, just go with it

-Just type “fr fr” and move on

-fr fr

-fr fr

That sharp comment appearing suddenly made me feel awkward inside.

[‘RicailsGreatsword’ donated ₩1,000!]

-Is this really your first time playing Arsheria?

“No. As I mentioned before, I played through the prologue with a younger friend.”

-That still means it’s your first time playing, noob lol

-How? Why? How? Why?

-Is this the difference in talent?

-This play can’t be explained by talent alone;;

[‘Veixel’ donated ₩100,000!]

-Can you teach me about the Valum Benaons strategy? What magic did you use in phase 2 that made Valum’s attacks ineffective?

[‘OVERDOSE’ donated ₩130,000!]

-Please explain the dispelling formula you used during the Jin Chronicle battle.

[‘NyangsterCall’ donated ₩300,000!]

-Please tell me how to comb Adella’s hair!

Even with the donation condition, I couldn’t stop viewers from speaking their minds.

I immediately closed the donation window and decided to answer only the last few questions.

-Those of us without money are too sad to live lol

-These donation amounts are insane

-Of course they’re going crazy, this is an all-10 difficulty perfect clear

-Even ₩100,000 seems too little to share that info

-The secret to combing Adella’s hair might actually be worth ₩300,000 lol

-Not at all?

-₩300,000 is too much????

-If my account had been charged, I would’ve donated ₩1,000,000

-The whole world is cat-crazy…

“For the first question, I implemented a 3rd circle polarization array magic as a 1st circle higher casting. For the second, since the boss kept shooting water cannons, I used a water molecule dispelling formula as the base. It’s nothing special when you understand it.”

And for the last one…

“For the last one, I don’t know either. Thank you for the ₩300,000 donation, NyangsterCall.”

* * *

I brushed back my sweat-soaked hair.

Even my pajamas weren’t spared, with heat rash making my back sting.

Without turning on the lights, I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

Ice. Or at least water if there’s no ice.

Fortunately, I spotted a bottle of cold barley tea near the door.

“So tired…”

Each game session is exhausting.

It’s different from League, where each match is consumed like instant food in about half an hour.

The cold liquid traveled down my throat, cooling my overheated body.

Because so many comments about me running away with the money flooded in after my last statement, I recited the usernames of everyone who donated at least once today before ending the stream.

That calmed them down a bit.

My stream viewers’ collective intelligence must consist of fully grown adults, yet they’re as emotional and impulsive as five-year-old children throwing tantrums.

But at the same time, they’re pure and susceptible to goodwill.

From the first donor ‘SaveMeFromGradSchool’ to the 101st donor ‘NyangsterCall’.

There were probably duplicates in between, so the actual number was less than 101, but just having their names called out made them genuinely happy.

Both those whose names were called and those whose weren’t. They all act and think as one body.

That’s why when negative sentiment forms, they all join in instantly, like black ink dropped on white paper.

They cursed Adella, sometimes even mocking her, as if they had harbored such ill intentions from the beginning.

Children need etiquette education at their level.

I resolved to prepare better for my next stream as I put the water bottle back in the refrigerator.

“Is it over now?”

Just as I was about to return to my room, Professor Cheon rustled out of the master bedroom.

“Ah… you’re awake?”

“We agreed you’d only play games until 12, didn’t we?”

“Yes… we did.”

“And?”

“It’s 1 o’clock. I’m sorry…”

But I was the one getting lectured.

In the end, I couldn’t go to my room until Professor Cheon’s scolding had thoroughly penetrated my head.
