It’s not that kind of malicious broadcast

Chapter 45 – If the Carrot Doesn’t Work, there’s No Other Choice

—

‘Warrior? Next.’

“GetDevoured FanTube”, which appeared like a comet through its videos, had been producing high-quality content even before Lee Yena officially started broadcasting.

The only issue with FanTube, no matter how much effort was put into editing, was that there wasn’t enough source material to work with.

But, there was no way FanTube would miss a three-hour-long broadcast filled with dazzling plays.

『The Strong are Right』

『GetDevoured FanTube』

『2.2k views』

『Is this some kind of entertainment character; who is this?』

– It’s the user “CravingWarmAmericano” on Tw*tter

– Warrior? Next is the same person, right?

– ㄴ Correct

『What’s the tier of the opponents?』

– Diamond 1 to Master

『The movements don’t make sense LOLOLOL Is he some kind of professional gymnast』

– It’s keyboard and mouse

– ㄴ Stop the bullshit

– ㄴ Are you the rogue in the video?

– ㄴ No, I just edit as a hobby. The rogue in the video is “CravingWarmAmericano” on Tw*tter

『At 3:37, what’s happening here? Why did the holy knight flinch just before attacking?』

– It’s hard to see in first-person, but it seems like a fakeout with a dagger throw?

– Watched the live broadcast; before that, the rogue got so much out of throwing daggers that just gripping the dagger in a reverse grip made everyone focus on the throw.

– ㄴ Why don’t they just dodge when he actually throws it?

– ㄴ Everyone has something to say until it’s their turn.

『Does this person broadcast?』

– Yes, on Tw*tter (link)

– ㄴ Thanks, thanks

『Isn’t this the Ark sniper?』

– Seems like they’re streaming nowadays?

– Does G-tube Academy have a curriculum or something? LOL Lots of people who were snipers are now streaming.

– ㄴ GetDevoured never trolls or broadcast snipes, even if they snipe.

– ㄴ Yeah, just like I drove drunk but didn’t cause an accident~

『They’re really good』

『LOLOLOL Is this a girl? These days, scams come in all shapes and sizes』

– For real, they probably have their boyfriend play and just dub over the voice.

– ㄴ Yeah, just look at how they barely comment on the game, it’s obvious LOLOLOL

– They already verified with a cam broadcast, what nonsense is this?

– ㄴ ??They did a cam broadcast?

– ㄴ (link)

Not everyone who watched her videos was supportive—

But the higher view count compared to Lee Yena’s previous live broadcasts clearly indicated a growing interest.

If they were going to repeat the same torture every 4-5 weeks, how nice would it be if it were always the same? If you get used to it, it might be slightly better.

But, unfortunately, my body didn’t particularly care about my requests. Thus, even if it’s the same event, there are months when my condition is particularly bad.

This month was like that.

Feeling sluggish, melancholic.

Even with a stronger than usual emergency alcohol prescription, my condition was so bad that it didn’t improve.

Headache, toothache, back pain, but above all, heartache.

Yeah.

Since my heart is in pain, today is a sick day. And since it’s an unofficial sick leave, it’s self-study day. About 5 minutes after turning on the broadcast and displaying the desktop.

『Hi Hi』

『Hey Dda, start KoK』

『Oh, streaming two days in a row』

『You barely broadcast, what’s the occasion』

『Let’s go KoK~ Go rogue~ Let’s go KoK~ Go rogue~ Let’s go KoK~ Go rogue~』

Unlike yesterday when I streamed at dawn, maybe because it was closer to prime time at 10 PM?

More than 800 viewers were welcoming me. The chat messages flying by quickly looked a bit cute, almost like they were waving their hands.

Not saying anything while watching the chat get faster made me feel slightly healed—

But today is a sick day.

“Today is self-study.”

I declared firmly, mimicking the tone of old teachers.

『???』

『What kind of crazy talk is this, GetDevoured……』

『Teacher, start KoK』

『What are you talking about?』

『What does the broadcast title mean?』

“You’ve watched the lectures on how to play a rogue for the past two days, right? But you need to review to truly make it yours.”

『I’m here for the first time today』

『Lec?ture』

『Was this a lecture broadcast?』

『Hey Dda, stop the nonsense and start KoK』

-ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!-

【Last lecture recap: If you can’t see the attack, parry it without watching】

『Is that even a lecture』

Unfortunately, the students’ response wasn’t very positive.

Why is that?

In my time, when it was self-study, everyone loved it.

“Therefore, today, you will turn on your own streams and play as a rogue.”

When you think about it, the unique selling point of internet broadcasting, which was highlighted from its inception, was precisely the interactive communication, differentiated from traditional broadcasting.

In that sense, there’s no rule that only the broadcaster has to broadcast.

Viewers can also broadcast.

Or so I thought—but there weren’t many who agreed just yet.

『What the hell are you talking about……』

『Hurry up and start KoK』

『I want to see a rogue』

『I hate this, turn on the cam』

『Turn on rogue, rogue, rogue』

『What kind of broadcaster dumps the broadcast on viewers, you crazy woman』

……After all, should I offer some sort of prize?

Indeed.

If you have to broadcast, it might be closer to class participation rather than self-study.

When I was young, teachers who encouraged class participation used to offer ‘well done’ stickers, candies, or chocolates as rewards.

While it might be hard to give everyone a reward, if I promise some prize to outstanding participants, wouldn’t it boost their motivation?

……A prize. A prize……What should I give……

Ah.

I took out my phone and sent a message to Ark.

『Hello, Ark』

『Can the ban pass be transferred?』

The “1” disappeared.

After a long time with no reply, Ark finally sent a message, about three minutes later.

『……I really have no idea what you’re talking about…….』

Hmm……

Is this a roundabout way of saying no……?

Well, I guess it would be burdensome to have such a right passed on to a malicious viewer.

Come to think of it, this is a right I would want to keep as well.

So, in that case……

“I will give the outstanding students chocolate and ‘Well Done’ notes as a reward.”

Perhaps the most fundamental reward for class participation is the answer. Coincidentally, I had stocked up on various chocolates at home with the allowance Yeri gave me.

If I divide them up and send them by courier, that should work.

The ‘Well Done’ notes, I can write appropriately.

『??』

『Chocolate?』

『Is it a gift card』

『Homemade?』

A gift card, huh. While that’s an option, I think the bond between teacher and student is built by exchanging physical items.

If the teacher sends a gift card via a message just because you raised your hand and spoke out, it feels a bit……strange.

“If you leave your address in a private message, I will send it via courier.”

『Oh』

『??? Why isn’t she managing the big spenders』

『For real??』

『Wow』

『Giving chocolate and a handwritten note?』

『Ah LOL I can’t resist this LOL』

『Is this some sort of continental-style big spender management?』

『Chocolate touched by Nuna’s hand……this works』

The chat started heating up much faster than I expected.

As expected, everyone likes something sweet.

Thank goodness.

“To make it easy to find, please include ‘CravingWarmAmericano’ in your broadcast title. There’s no extra credit for using a cam or mic, so don’t turn those on. While you start your streams, I’ll go grab a drink.”

One of the biggest factors in Tw*tter’s growth was the environment where anyone could easily start streaming.

Without a complex setup process, the system allowed users to start streaming anytime with just a download of the official program and a single button press.

However—

That doesn’t mean many people will genuinely start streaming suddenly by just pressing a button.

It’s a given.

If you’re going to start a streaming content segment, it’s typical to give a few days’ notice, so viewers can tidy up their desktops and prepare mentally.

《Hmm…….》

Ignoring this common sense, the result was that, aside from Lee Yena’s broadcast, there were only two streams under ‘CravingWarmAmericano’.

Moreover, neither of them was playing as a rogue or KoK.

One broadcast had a thumbnail with a notepad where a phrase in size 72 font read, ‘No~ I won’t do it~’,

The other one was in the middle of hurriedly installing the KoK client.

Lee Yena’s voice, which had sounded a bit excited, gradually descended as she muttered and sipped something, seeing the unchanged number of streams even as she kept refreshing the Tw*tter search page.

Eventually, she changed her tone to try to negotiate.

《For the top three students, I’ll also give duo privileges.》

Quite a dramatic offer.

In the broadcast chat, comments like “I’m going to start streaming now”,

“Duo privilegesㄷㄷ”, and “Wowww” flooded in, making a big fuss—

Yet, only three new streams started.

《Hmm…….》

With a sigh mixed with contemplation and disappointment at the dismal result, Lee Yena then connected to the broadcast titled ‘CravingWarmAmericano is the best, rogue rogue’.

《It can’t be helped. Everyone, would you like to come here?》

And then—

The viewer count began to plummet.

From 800, to 700.

600.

500.

It wasn’t until the viewer count quickly dropped to 400 that people started protesting.

『???』

『What the hell』

『Why was I just banned?』

『Hey, you crazy woman』

『Hey』

『Seriously, what the hell』

300.

200.

Although the numbers slightly rebounded as people reconnected with alternate accounts—

They couldn’t withstand the relentless purge wielded mercilessly.

As viewers, filled with frustration and anger, sought a place to vent their directionless rage and began to gather one by one at the broadcast Lee Yena had joined—

A chat message from CravingWarmAmericano appeared.

『Even if you don’t play KoK, those who started streaming will receive a pardon😍』

Twice.

『Ah, but if you don’t pick rogue while playing KoK, you’re disqualified🙃🙂🙃🙂』
