Making Friends With Streamers by Hacking!

## Chapter 28: The Hunter Takes a Brief Break

I sent a KakaoTalk message to Seon-hwa.

"Send me just one photo"

Seon-hwa: "? A photo?"

Seon-hwa: "What for?"

Seon-hwa: "I'll kill you if you blab about us dating anywhere"

"Don't worry"

"I'll save it as your profile pic"

"So please make it as sexy as possible"

Seon-hwa: "Are you crazy?"

-8 minutes later-

Seon-hwa: "Be satisfied with this"

After some delay, she sends a selfie, likely just taken.

She's wearing casual home wear but has full makeup on.

'She wears makeup even at home. Is it because of her broadcasts?'

The angle subtly avoids looking directly at the camera lens.

She clearly has several unpublished shots saved.

Seon-hwa's attitude of constantly trying to hide her cards is evident, even though we've mixed bodies and entered a dating relationship.

That's lovable too.

"You're cute"

Seon-hwa: "I told you not to call me cute, didn't I?"

"Can I come over to your place again next time?"

Seon-hwa: "Don't come until I call you"

Seon-hwa: "If you really want to come, tell me first..."

She's really cute.

I give the uploaded photo several kisses, wanting to bite her.

"Phew."

I got a girlfriend.

I got two sex friends.

My head spins from dopamine overload at the thought that such days have come in my life.

I roll around contentedly on the bed, then let out a satisfied breath.

However, this afterglow of happiness doesn't last long.

"Sigh... But reality is a sewer."

When I put down the phone after exchanging sweet KakaoTalk messages, my small room comes into view.

Gloom sets in.

Hanging out with famous women has made me realize something.

...I'm shabby.

A single room monthly rental.

The rent is cheap at 350,000 won, but it's a small, old studio apartment.

Plus my total assets are under 3 million won.

The cold of harsh winter has struck my bank account storehouse.

Meanwhile, the women I meet use expensive homes, expensive clothes, expensive cosmetics.

The levels are different.

I even directly investigated how much difference there is in assets.

There are income calculators online, and rough estimated earnings come out easily if you investigate.

First I look into Seon-hwa.

Estimated YouTube earnings

Monthly 11,000,000 ~ 12,500,000

Estimated live broadcast earnings 

Monthly 19,500,000 ~ 22,000,000 (Premium partner, including star balloons)

*Excluding sponsors, advertising

My jaw drops.

Looking closely, it's not "yearly" but "monthly".

It's a violent prestige that beats even well-paid big company employees.

This doesn't include sponsorships or advertising contracts, so it could be even more.

Next is So Yuna who specialized in cosplay

Estimated YouTube earnings

(None)

*Can't upload due to content restrictions

Estimated live broadcast earnings

Monthly 21,000,000 ~ 23,500,000 (Premium partner, including donations)

Estimated average goods sales 5,000,000 (per item, estimate)

*Excluding sponsors, advertising

Yuna doesn't earn from YouTube due to mature content, but has earnings from goods she releases a couple times a month.

She could earn less than Seon-hwa, or possibly more.

Next is the ultra-big shot Ha Yeon-su.

My head spun investigating Yeon-su's estimated earnings.

Estimated YouTube earnings

Monthly 34,000,000 ~ 37,000,000

Estimated live broadcast earnings 

Monthly 8,000,000 ~ 10,000,000 (Premium partner, including star balloons)

*Excluding sponsors, advertising

At a glance it looks similar to the two above, and her live broadcast earnings are surprisingly low.

But Ha Yeon-su is involved in many areas.

Besides the YouTube channel pulling in these enormous earnings, she runs an academy in central Seoul, has high standing in associations so appears often in external media. She frequently appears as a guest on famous broadcast networks.

Yet this is just the tip of the iceberg - academy earnings, appearance fees, advertising, sponsorships, etc.

There are many sources of income.

Including everything, by my calculations she easily exceeds 200 million won monthly.

There may be errors, but having learned about that ecosystem while blackmailing BJs, I think it's roughly accurate.

So for Ha Yeon-su, it's like getting a luxury foreign car every month.

Investigating this reminded me of two episodes related to Ha Yeon-su.

Blackmailing someone earning such enormous amounts, and Ha Yeon-su doing an adult broadcast wearing just a mask.

If either had been caught or leaked, it would have blown up into a huge fire.

Looking back, it was really crazy behavior, it's chilling.

The remaining Yoon Mi-na is in the SNS field, so those earnings aren't well revealed due to consensual contract advertising.

Still, judging by the clothes she wore, she must earn much more than me.

For reference, if I reveal my monthly earnings, it's like this:

Average monthly mission fees from hacking tool 3,000,000 ~ 4,500,000

Occasional convenience store part-time job 120,000 ~ 240,000

It could be more than expected.

It's actually at the level of a typical office worker's starting salary.

However, I lost most of the money I accumulated with two clicks of the hacking tool, so now I'm broke.

My bank account has less than 3 million won,

Seeing those enormous numbers earlier has crushed my motivation now.

I've said a lot, but in the end it means my situation is relatively in the gutter.

So I made a decision.

'Let's start broadcasting.'

I'm free anyway besides working out and meeting women.

Meeting these women while looking like this doesn't give me any pride.

Actually, there was an incident at Seon-hwa's house yesterday.

*

"That felt good."

"Haa... Haa...♥"

"Your moans are cute every time we do it."

"I told you not to call me cute...."

"Can I use your shower for now? After washing up, let's─"

Rip... Rip.

An ominous sensation is felt under my foot.

Slowly lowering my gaze, it's Seon-hwa's underwear.

Lifting that thin white cloth piece, it sags.

It must have caught on my toe, as the elasticity wrapping the waist inside the lace has completely died.

"This...."

Looking back ominously, Seon-hwa is looking too.

I deliver the pitiful result to its owner.

"Sorry. It seems to have stretched out... Should I compensate you?"

"...This cost 760,000 won."

"Huh?"

"760,000 won. It's a brand item."

"..."

"...Forget it. It was an accident, so just leave it."

"Haha. Hahaha...."

I hurriedly fled to the shower.

*

I couldn't bring myself to say I'd compensate her or buy her something else.

I grumbled the whole shower about what kind of cloth scrap costs 760,000 won.

But coming home and analyzing their earnings, I realized we live in different worlds.

Having experienced this, I had a lot to think about.

Then I concluded I should try broadcasting too.

There's no guarantee I'll succeed like that by broadcasting, but it's not bad to try.

Plus the 20 million won I blew is a shame.

I should at least break even.

First I open the [Let's Enjoy Together!] app I bought for 20 million won.

I review once more what functions it has besides starting broadcasts.

"It films in ultra-high definition... Unauthorized copying is impossible, and the copyright belongs to me.

Video earnings are settled weekly... A golden lion helmet will be awarded in a few days."

I mutter while memorizing, then tilt my head at the last sentence.

"Golden lion?"

Ding dong!

The bell rings with perfect timing.

I hear "Delivery!" from outside and the sound of a box being left at the door.

I immediately run out and bring in a package about the size of a microwave.

"Oh?!"

When I neatly cut the tape with a box cutter and open the contents, a real golden lion-shaped mask comes out.

I pick it up right away out of curiosity and it's much lighter than it looks.

'It can't be real gold, right?'

It was wishful thinking, but the outer surface is softer than it looks for a mask.

It's not cotton or fabric, but not metal either.

Since I can't tell by looking, I try pressing it firmly and putting it on.

Then a new world unfolds.

Surprisingly, the entire front is visible.

It's not a narrow view like looking through doll eye holes, but for some reason the world unfolds much more clearly than with the naked eye.

Plus, broadcast-related interfaces and even my physical condition are written in various corners.

It's truly a new world.

It feels like wearing VR equipment.

No, Iron Man's suit would be more apt.

[Dirty floor] [XXL unopened condom] [Unwashed dishes]

When I actually turn my head left and right, text analyzing objects appears like real Iron Man.

It reports neatly and clearly in crimson digital text.

"Holy shit, this is awesome...."

Now I understand why it cost 20 million won.

I'll have to actually enter a broadcast to test all the functions, but this mask alone is worth over 20 million won.

I'm certain of that.

Warm breath leaks out of the golden lion's mouth.

It's an unexpectedly amazing gift.

Adrenaline surges and I can't contain my excitement.

Calm down... Now that such a precious item has arrived, you know what you have to do, right?

I press my chest to calm myself.

That's right, what I need to do now is set.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Hey, Jarvis! Analyze the current situation!

What!? Enemy attack ahead?! This won't do, I'm taking off shooooom!"

I play Iron Man alone in my room for a bit.

I jump excitedly on the bed, returning to childhood.

Exactly 10 minutes later, intense self-loathing hits me, befitting my 24 years of age.
