Chapter 10 : A broadcast that’s not easy

Yoonseo Law.

Among the many laws existing on Pangea TV, it is the most famous.

There was once a famous female streamer named Yoonseo, who, while broadcasting, hid her age.

She caused a scandal and had to reveal her actual age.

Because of her fame, she had many connections, which tangled the relationships between many streamers.

The fallout from this became significant, leading to the creation of Yoonseo Law.

The basic rule is to require female streamers to authenticate their identity with their resident registration card.

In fact, this was almost like an invincible tactic.

Refusing to show it was essentially admitting, “I’m hiding my age.”

As someone who knew this very well as a Pangea TV viewer before my return, I decided to calmly pull out the card I had prepared in advance.

“Aha! So that’s what Yoonseo Law is. I learned something new today. This is the streamer Seoah growing every day! Got it. I have nothing to hide, so I’ll proudly authenticate.”

• Nirvana, nirvana, nirvana!
• 5252 Seoahkun, I trusted you!
• Oh… but the virtual red pill is a matter of manners.
• What’s this red pill, you nerd? ᄏᄏ Should I put some disinfectant on your eyes instead?
• Haha! Let’s go with the ID reveal~

The viewers, believing I would turn on my camera immediately, created a festive atmosphere with excitement.

“Hmm. It’s not the camera. It’s a picture.”

It’s way more fun to smash those expectations.

There were many frustrated chats, but they managed to hold back, perhaps because they still got to see a photo, even if it wasn’t the real thing.

“Drumroll! I’ll reveal it now. My ID is 바로오오오!”

With explosive anticipation from the viewers, the screen switched.

• Hmm?
• Huh?
• This is the pre-broadcast waiting screen.
• ????

“30 seconds until the reveal. Please watch an ad while you wait.”

• Fist (emoji), fist (emoji), fist (emoji)!
• ᄏᄏᄏ? You’re doomed after 30 seconds.
• Seoah’s face-to-face raid party recruiting 1/4.
• Does anyone know why this person is acting like this?

“Whoa, whoa! Calm down. I’ll show it to you right away.”

At this rate, it feels like there might be a murder happening.

I quickly switched the screen and displayed my ID card picture next to my avatar.

“See the numbers? Born in 00, with the last digits starting with 4. Yoonseo Law, cleared!”

To prevent the viewers from claiming the photo was stolen, I placed a notebook next to it, writing ‘Pangea TV Virtual Streamer Seoah♡’ on it.

But honestly, few viewers paid attention to that part.

Over 90% of them focused on the photo portion of the ID.

• You idiot! Show the photo!
• Crazy idiot, crazy idiot, crazy idiot!
• ᄏᄏᄏ You just captured your avatar and pasted it over the photo. You really want to die?
• Downfall, downfall, downfall!

“Hmm? That’s actually my photo. What are you talking about? This is the real world, and this is me. You all know it too. You’re watching the broadcast all day long, scratching your belly. This is reality. Do you really think that place where you do nothing productive is the real one?”

• Ah…………… ᄊᄇ Hit hard.
• Penta kill! Seoah is legendary.
• ᄉᄇᄂa! I wasn’t doing anything, why are you hitting me!
• Mom, I’m sorryᅲ I’ll wake up after today’s broadcast and take care of you.
• Hey, where do you live? I’m seriously asking.

With factual violence, I struck the viewers.

But continuing the attacks would not be good for public opinion.

I put away the whip and gently offered a carrot.

“Ugh! You fools. Not everything can be shown… but this is enough for today.”

I uploaded a new photo.

The speed of the chat gradually slowed down.

Would their reactions be positive or negative?

I already knew the answer.

All the men would be thinking the same.

• Ooooh! ᄉᄇ It’s insane, it’s insane!
• What’s up with that waistline, though? ᅥᅮᅣ
• Noona, I’m dying!
• I’ve decided, from today, Seoah is my future bride.
• Ah… the half-cam is a bit much, but her body is crazy.
• Is this really her photo?
• I usually skip half-cams, but her mid-level skill is Faker-level, so I surrender.
• Waka pya!

A half-cam photo, with the angle as far away as possible and the quality intentionally blurry.

It was a secret weapon I had prepared in case of an emergency.

I wasn’t someone with a solid fanbase yet; after all, I was just a newbie in my second day of debut.

The public opinion of the transient viewers is like reeds, swaying with the slightest breeze.

People must know when to lower their heads.

Pragmatism over pride!

‘Besides, there’s nothing wrong with this, right?’

Virtually, there’s a culture of protecting the avatar’s personal information because of the ‘red pill.’

However, what’s interesting is that while full exposure is taboo, they are surprisingly lenient about half-cams.

People’s desires ultimately reveal themselves honestly in numbers.

The moment the half-cam photo was revealed, whether it went viral in the FM community or if transient viewers flooded in due to the thumbnail,

I don’t know, but the viewer count exceeded 6,500.

Moreover, the hateful comments that had been pouring in earlier transformed into much larger-scale compliments.

The online streaming world is terrifyingly devoted to desire.

I will definitely survive in this wilderness.

[(Newbie) 2nd day Yoonseo Law Certification – Complete – Trustworthy Seoah Broadcast]

“Haah………… I’m exhausted.”

The second day of broadcasting has ended safely.

No, can I really call it safe?

Dragged by the viewers’ insistence on the Yunseo Law certification, I couldn’t fully carry out the content I had originally planned.

According to the plan, I was supposed to finish the well-prepared content neatly and then start a short after-talk for about 20 minutes to try and attract fixed viewers.

But I lost my pace from the middle, and the broadcast ended up being dragged along by the viewers.

“Still, I have a lot to work on.”

I never thought broadcasting would be easy.

Even so, I had some confidence because I had prepared thoroughly and put in a lot of effort.

But the difficulty of live broadcasting was higher than I expected.

I had to react to the constant stream of chats, and as a result, the progress of the content often got blocked or I ended up talking about random topics.

If it had been a pre-recorded TV broadcast, it might have been a little easier.

“If I could handle even unexpected variables skillfully, I wouldn’t need to worry about this.”

I thought with a wry smile, but that would definitely be impossible.

Even with talent, it would take years of experience to reach that level.

“By the way, I wonder if Lucy is doing well with her broadcast?”

Yesterday was her first broadcast, so she must have been very tired, and there was a meeting related to Ataba, so I didn’t have time to check in. But today, since I had a free schedule, I decided to sneak into the RabbitTV account and check Lucy’s recent broadcast.

When I checked the replay views, I didn’t even need to ask about her current status. The data showed that things were just as usual.

The current time is 5:17 PM.

At this time, Lucy is probably working part-time.

I’m not a stalker, so don’t look at me like that.

I know because Lucy mentioned it during her broadcast.

Before she moved to PangaeaTV, she said her monthly income from broadcasting was around 300,000 to 400,000 won.

Lucy didn’t run two part-time jobs for no reason.

She couldn’t sustain her livelihood solely from broadcasting income, so it was natural she had to do that.

“I hope she moves over to PangaeaTV soon.”

For the time being, PangaeaTV was going to be a new land of opportunity for low-tier virtual streamers.

Just hitting the same viewer count as RabbitTV could triple your monthly income.

How is that possible, you ask?

PangaeaTV’s viewers may be older and get ridiculed as “old-fashioned,” but that meant they also had higher economic power, making it possible.

“Moreover, RabbitTV is a red ocean. Too many competitors. But PangaeaTV is different.”

I was the only virtual streamer.

A situation where I was monopolizing the vast market.

If I were going to place a bet, it was better to do it as soon as possible.

“So, it’s time to start enticing her.”

I began tossing tempting bait to Lucy through Discord.

Starting with how she felt about her debut broadcast and how she managed it.

I also took pictures of the highest viewership and the number of candies received as donations and sent them.

“Are you busy?”

I expected an immediate response, but Lucy was too busy with her part-time job, and there was no reply.

Well, that’s unavoidable.

Maybe she’s preparing for dinner now?

I was about to get up from my chair.

“Huh?”

The message box at the top of the PangaeaTV homepage was flashing.

Ah, I completely forgot about that.

When I was a viewer, I rarely got messages, so I didn’t realize it, but it was definitely different now that I was a streamer.

What kind of messages could there be?

Curious, I reached out and clicked on the message box.

As expected, reality is harsh.

I knew well what the live broadcast scene was like, so why did I expect something different?

There were numerous messages, most of which were insults and nearly abusive content.

Some examples included comments like “Why don’t you leave PangaeaTV and go back to RabbitTV,” and “The otaku broadcast is disgusting, just die.”

Some were criticizing my appearance because they didn’t like my non-cam broadcast, and there were plenty of messages full of mindless swearing.

“Sigh… I can see why streamers’ mental health gets shattered.”

I hadn’t done anything wrong, yet here I was, exposed to the malice of random strangers.

The more I read, the more dizzy I felt.

I knew logically that I hadn’t done anything wrong, but the continuous flow of criticism felt like it was eating away at me.

“Ugh, that’s why they say to close the message box if possible.”

It seemed that, after causing a lot of drama in the last two broadcasts, the trolls had started attaching themselves.

There’s nothing I can do.

I have to consider it as growing pains in trying to increase the size of my broadcast…

With a bitter smile, I started deleting the messages.

Of course, I took a screenshot before deleting them.

Just in case I might need it as evidence for a lawsuit later.

“Huh? This nickname…”

While doing so, I accidentally found a familiar nickname in the message box.

At first, I thought it might be someone impersonating someone, but when I checked the user information, it was indeed a streamer.

“Why is Oh Young-jun sending me a message?”

It had been two days since the broadcast began.

I was confused by this unexpected contact.
