Beginner Streamer Kang Ara

 

“I’m back.”

Even though I said no broadcast ending, I wanted to eat properly, so I had to leave my seat.

User has donated 1000 won.

[It’s fine to go eat, but couldn’t you broadcast while eating? Why do you keep leaving your seat]

Hmm…

“That’s a good point. But you know”

It’s just a good point, I don’t think it’s necessarily advice worth taking.

“I believe in eating comfortably. Yes. If I eat in front of many people watching, how would that be different from a monkey in a zoo? Now that I’m back, let’s start the game─”

So I answered the viewer who asked the question through a donation and started queuing for games again.

─ This fucking bitch. Look at how she talks back

─ If this was the Joseon Dynasty, she’d get whipped on her butt just crack-

─ Now I understand why my dad says not to date strong-willed women…

─ Aside from being strong-willed, what should I do if I can’t meet women at all ㅠㅠ?

However, I tilted my head when the matching timer exceeded 11 minutes.

“Is it normally this hard to find a match?”

Before I went to eat, games were found within 5 minutes at the shortest and around 8 minutes at the longest, but now they weren’t matching, so I said this to the chat.

─ Wow, it’s really not matching at all

─ Evening time probably contributes to that.

─ Everyone’s just scared of YongYongLion and not queuing lolol

─ Agree with the comment above

“Hmm… maybe tomorrow─”

Because waiting for a game that wasn’t matching was too boring, I was about to suggest starting again around 6-8 PM when games match better, but

─ Don’t fuck around, you fucking bitch

─ You said no broadcast ending! You said no broadcast ending!!

─ But it’s getting too loose when it’s not matching this much

─ Honestly, Lucy has already streamed for quite a long time.

Viewers started fighting, split between those saying they’d kill me if I turned it off and those saying they were satisfied with this much.

I didn’t really plan to stop them from fighting, and I thought it was foolish to keep waiting when games weren’t matching like this, so just as I was about to cancel the queue

-Thud!

As if MOL was telling me not to leave, the match was found just as I was about to turn it off.

─ Woooow

─ Are you watching Lucy’s broadcast too, Riot?

─ Fuck yes~

“Oh my… let’s climb again.”

So I accepted the game and gradually increased my concentration while moving to the rhythm of the grand champion select BGM.

♦♦♦

Ara’s declaration of reaching rank 1 without ending the broadcast was definitely enough to inject tension into the relaxed top-tier MOL scene.

[Gauss]: Is anyone watching Lucy’s broadcast right now?

[Headbanger]: I’ve been watching the whole time, why?

[Gauss]: This is driving me crazy… I’m too scared to queue for games…

[Grilled Hairtail]: She is insanely good.

[Headbanger]: lolol Hairtail, you got completely destroyed. Are you okay?

[Grilled Hairtail]: It wasn’t like I lost because of a mistake, I was outplayed by skill, so not really… she’s just incredibly good?

The top-tier top laners who had suffered from Ching Anmun’s abuse were full of talk about Lucy in their KakaoTalk chatroom.

Several people in that chatroom had met Ara today and been thoroughly destroyed.

[Grilled Hairtail]: Ching Anmun is gone now, so it might not be bad to change this to a Lucy victims meeting?

As one user said, after Ching Anmun disappeared, there was no one in the top tier who could stop Lucy.

When all the top-tier top laners boycotted games and just watched Lucy’s broadcast…

[Headbanger]: …Fuck, someone please go queue for a game. Matches aren’t being found…

An unprecedented situation occurred where games weren’t matching for over 13 minutes, past 11 minutes.

Of course, there was also the reason that the pro team players in the top tier were taking a break from games because the season had ended and the MOL Cup was in progress.

[Gauss]: I asked my hyung Wonfeng – a pro team mid laner – to queue for a game, but I just got slapped and kicked out of the room.

Most players, feeling that the probability of being on the same team as YongYongLion wasn’t very high, and that it wouldn’t be easy to recover mentally after meeting her on the opposing team and getting thoroughly destroyed, were not queuing for games.

Of course.

“I’d like to meet her once…”

“Ya, kid. The finals are tomorrow, what nonsense are you talking about. Shut up and go to bed quickly, Jaewon”

“Really, hyung… Just. Just once, okay?”

There were also players like TG’s top laner Lee Jaewon who were burning with competitive spirit, wanting to face Lucy.

All of them were focusing their attention on Lucy’s rank 1 broadcast.

[NEW NEO Lucy’s Rank 1 No End Broadcast][06:38:32]

Enough for Ara to exceed 10,000 viewers for the first time in her personal broadcast.

♦♦♦

Inside an elegant living room.

“….See, you can do well when you try. Geez”

Yeji, lying face down on the sofa watching Lucy’s broadcast, was muttering to herself.

Yeji had been disappointed enough in Ara and Reina to speak harshly to them for the first time today.

“Reina’s broadcast… yes, this is good too.”

Whether they had realized something, or it was because they had been scolded by her, she didn’t know. But seeing them broadcasting diligently, the stress that had accumulated was being relieved.

Ara’s broadcast had exceeded 10,000 and was approaching 11,000 viewers, while Reina’s broadcast, though less powerful than Ara’s, had attracted 5,000.

Seeing Twins Tail taking a pie of nearly 16,000 viewers, Yeji breathed a sigh of relief.

“…Right. You two are capable kids after all..sigh. sniff”

How miserable had she been when Reina and Ara abandoned their broadcasts.

It’s okay if someone who can’t do it doesn’t, but if someone talented doesn’t do it, that’s a crime.

Every time they abandoned their broadcasts, numerous malicious comments poured down on Reina and Ara.

If you’re going to broadcast like that, quit, this isn’t a webtoon platform, at this rate you’ll broadcast once a week,

“Those were the milder ones..”

Among the harsher comments were

Are you prostitutes, is it too much to have a second job as broadcasters?

Are you slutty so you’re ruining your broadcasts too, etc…

“Tsk.”

Of course, the company was in the process of filing lawsuits against such posts, so she tried not to worry.

However, it wasn’t just them receiving curses, but VT itself received a tremendous amount of hate…

The mental suffering Yeji had gone through because of these two precious children was beyond words..

“Haah-they’re doing well..let’s keep doing this.. girls.”

Yeji, feeling that Reina and Ara’s attitudes had clearly changed just from watching their broadcasts, whether it was due to her speaking harshly today

They were her personally close younger sisters, but wrong was wrong.

She had regretted whether she had spoken too harshly because her emotions had become intense.

But she was the CEO of the company and had staff under her.

“Alright…let’s see… Sekai-dol…tsk.”

And with the debut of Sekai-dol just days away.

-Tok dok toto dok

[Yeji] ─ [Team Leader Seok. Please speed up the work on Ara and Reina’s second cover song.]

[Team Leader Seok] ─ [Yes. Understood, CEO.]

She needed to prepare to make the most of the water coming in from them who had hit the highest viewer count.

[Yeji] ─ [And Editing Team Leader, please continue to focus on Shorts.]

[Editing Team Leader] ─ [Yes…]

To make Lucy and Mika appear more frequently in the public eye…

“…Ah.”

While watching Ara’s broadcast, one scheduled event came to mind.

[BB-bic, Continental Mixed MOL Tournament]

A tournament mixing BB-bic and continental platform streamers/BJs to form teams, benchmarking the MOL Cup.

─”Hmm… The rank 1 is currently… 1700 points… I need to win about 23 more games to be comfortable.”

If Ara participated and performed well there….

Then, even if Sekai-dol’s 3rd generation debuted, they would be fine.

“…Tsk. But… will she be okay with other broadcasters?”

Of course, that was on the condition that Ara wouldn’t cause trouble, but still.

♦♦♦

Even after returning from dinner, I kept playing games without rest.

[Victory!]

─ Take me Lucy! Take me Lucy! Take me Lucy! Take me Lucy!

─ This girl is just MOL itself lolol

─ Fuck… how many consecutive wins is this?

─ Hah, but that support player had such a strong ego. It was so disgusting

─ Info) That support player is a pro gamer who was runner-up in MOL Champions Spring this year. lolol

─ Yes, shut up. If Lucy went pro, she’d destroy them all, so just shut up and listen to Lucy ㅉ

“Now…yes”

It’s almost… 4 AM now. But..

[LIVE 13881]

Despite speaking less and just playing games, and despite it being so late at night, it was absurd that the number of viewers kept increasing.

“Don’t you all sleep?”

─ It’s lunchtime now lolol

─ I won’t sleep until you end the broadcast.

─ Is it because it’s dawn? There’s not much difference between the time it takes to find a game and the time to play the game;;

─ Info) Game matching time 22 minutes, game duration 28 minutes.

I was grateful that so many people were watching, but as one viewer mentioned, the time to find matches was getting longer and longer.

[Challenger 1286 LP]

“…No broadcast ending yes… as long as I don’t end the broadcast. Then I’ll go sleep for a while.”

─ Go ahead.

─ Honestly, waiting here stupidly is also loose lololol

─ This was truly the first substantial Lucy broadcast

─ Is this how you’ll broadcast from now on, NEW NEO Lucy?

Since the improved public sentiment in the chat also told me to go rest, I left the capsule and flopped down on the bed.

“…Phew-“

Before closing my eyes, I tried to think if there had been a time since returning to Earth that I had been so intensely focused on something..

Nothing came to mind.

That’s how boring my life was, and there was nothing around me worth being interested in.

Then, after being scolded by Yeji today, I had decided to try broadcasting properly for once.

“..Hmph..”

The response of viewers who cheered while watching my play and the increasing number of viewers.

“…Not bad.”

Ara felt that it was… not so bad.

Although this result happened because someone pushed her back.

─ Zzz….

Thinking finally that she had done well to broadcast, only the sound of regular breathing could be heard in Ara’s room.

─ You fucking bitch, you should sleep with the camera on. That’s what no broadcast ending means, you bitch!

─ No, why does this girl always have a screw loose somewhere?

─ Show us sleeping Lucy, fuck!!!

─ That’s it, I’m going to pull down my pants at VT. Fuck

Of course, Kang Ara was still a beginner streamer.
