Hakko's Solo Healing Server (3)
The moment I finish building, the donations start pouring in.
Friends? Not yet. Inviting anyone to this twisty maze would just make them uncomfortable the whole way here.
"First, let's clear a path here and think about it!" I change the subject.
The viewers have been desperately asking for Himaru this whole time.
I've got my head locked on the chat window to the right, so I haven't even glanced at the map. I whip around to the left to check. There's a real whisper waiting.
I type back immediately.
I use one of my three remaining return scrolls right away. Totally worth the money. Instant teleport to the square in one second flat. The second I arrive, I spot Moteok walking over.
"Sena, did you get the elytra?"
"I, uh, didn't get one, but I tried it out once."
"Ah, nice. Good choice. Let's go quick."
I follow Moteok without a word. When we reach the ocean, she summons a boat.
"No, you get in first, Sena. I drive like a pro."
"Thanks!"
"Wait, aren't you a VTuber?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
"Which one?"
Moteok seems like an E-rank. She's already steering the convo super friendly-like. Being around someone like this is the best. Man, I'm so lucky. Ehehe. All those good deeds and honest living paying off!!
"Me, a VTuber! I'm doing it with a cheap tablet!!"
"Tablet? Haha. No, no, I mean... not that... um..."
That? What's that?
"I'm a VTuber! Using a 30,000-won tablet I bought from a booth!!"
"Uh... yeah. No, you know how there's like... foxes or whatever. Gods of the world or something... that kinda thing."
"Ah!!!"
She's asking about my RP. Finally dawns on me.
"I don't have one!"
"Ah, no RP, huh..."
"I know yours though...! You're the Queen of the Rhombus World...!"
Suddenly Moteok goes quiet. Did I mess up again? What did I do wrong this time? Me again? What was it? I have no clue.
"Ahahaha. So you know that, huh."
Just a brief silence, but it chokes me up. Then it gets super awkward. Moteok forces a laugh.
"Yeah... heh... so, Sena doesn't have one, right?"
"Nope, I don't."
"Ah... yeah, not having one is better..."
It was a tiny whisper, but it rang crystal clear. Best to ignore that, right? For the next 15+ minutes of exploring, Moteok is amazing. I can tell she's busting her ass to lighten the mood. I match her energy and yap away.
She keeps asking me questions, but I barely remember what we said. Anyway, I gave it my all! We finally reach the End. The otherworldly realm tinged purple. Staring at the sky, the faint aurora makes me feel all dreamy. I grab my enchanted diamond pickaxe and mine blocks like a forklift.
Without elytra, you gotta connect blocks one by one and grind it out. I supply the blocks now, and Moteok bridges the gaps. My inventory's stuffed, so time to drop them off.
Moteok has extended the path crazy far. At a sprint, it'd take over 10 seconds.
"Moteok. Moteok."
Huh? I drag my mouse up and look at the sky. Moteok shoots straight up~ whoosh. The event that triggers on a 1-million-won donation.
"Whoa...!!"
I just stare at falling Moteok. So jealous. She got a million-won donation...!!
She's coming, so I gotta keep going. I crouch with shift, lay stones, and extend the path. Someone's gotta do it. Feels like over 3 minutes. No sign of Moteok.
After waiting over 5 minutes, Moteok finally shows.
"Sorry, Sena. I could've no-clipped but panicked... yeah."
"No worries!! Did you see my chat?"
"Oh? Yeah, thanks."
"Sure thing. We all gotta eat!!"
"Hahahaha. True~"
Feels like the vibe's loosening up. So... now?! Is this growth? Natural, right? Yeah, now's the time!!
"Ah! Right, Moteok. Moteok." I grab her.
"What~?"
"Once my house is done, come visit!"
"Oh, that new city at 12 o'clock?"
Did it get a name without me knowing?
"Yeah, 12 o'clock exactly."
"I'll swing by once it's done~"
Hehehe. Invited her myself. Success!! We bond more while farming elytra after that. Moteok's seriously the nicest. In medieval times, she'd be a saint. I'm rhombus spawn... for real, but I don't say it out loud.
I'll save that praise for when we're closer. My ultimate killer move.
After elytra farming, I get super close with Moteok. She lends me good items, gives me gear, diamonds... even loans me money.
Didn't really need the cash, but she said try gacha for the fun of it... so I did a few pulls.
"Kaaaaawbi."
"Urk."
Always D or C rank. Kept going for the taste. Got hooked on pulling, borrowed more. Now I owe 1 million game money on Moteok's ledger. Lucky this server has no interest—just pay principal.
Viewers say I hoarded tons early to pay debt. Got enough ore—no more mining needed till server end.
Sold it all, paid up. But Moteok says,
"If you quit here, you're just the girl who pulled D/C pets and called it a day."
So at least B rank. My stream goal's B anyway!! Fine.
Sold all my ore, house stuff—everything gone. That's why gambling ruins families. Lesson learned. No more gambling. Earn honest money. Anyway, today I grind to pay debt. But grinding's nice—feels like fixed content, reassuring. Hope it's all Minecraft forever.
Like always, check item prices, head to hut. Yesterday Himaru farmed/fished 23 hours, Bana 16. I gear up to grind and clear my debt ledger.
But notices are blowing up. Begging for adventures. Reactions suck. Why me? How much you paying? Etc.
Who's falling for that once or twice? Went for hidden stuff, all lies. Wasted two days, they vent. Not my problem. At the hut, some weirdo's lurking.
"I've been waiting."
A male voice echoes. Nickname: Kopi. Title: [Admin].
What the hell? I never did anything wrong. Head spinning. Then it hits me. Ah!! That's it!!
"Me? Why? Did the gacha rigging finally come out? Compensating my bad luck?"
This is it. I blew over a million game money... more on pet pulls, only D/C? 100% rigged. Otherwise world's broken. World flipping?!
"No, logic's working fine. I have a favor... Can you hear me out?"
Urk, denying it. Nothing for me then. Gotta pay debt.
"Guess I'll go. Have fun."
"Wait? No, that's not it. Just listen once."
I slam the door shut. Rent money short, so I'm inside pretending not home, holding breath quiet.
"Just once. Village is in crisis."
I hold my breath silent. Stay still awhile.
"Gone? Gotta pay debt today. Ah!! You Moteok's debt collector, right? No way?"
I crack the door cautious, peek around. Phew, admin's gone. Time to pave roads?
"Gotta pay fast... Kyaa! No, wait, my heart almost dropped. What. Are you doing. Seriously."
Scared me good. For real. Admin's behind me now.
"You kept circling front, so I waited forever. Hear me out."
"..."
"Really sorry. Asked others, but village is madness. Everyone just farming, fishing. This right? No one's adventuring."
"Ah... yeah."
"Server ends with everyone fishing/farming. Didn't expect zero adventure. Begged everyone, no takers."
She's got a lot pent up, starts venting.
"Farming? Say they lose crops, no go. Fishers? Lose bobber, no. One promised adventure, forgot, fishing instead."
"Ah... yeah."
"Please."
Admin dumps items on me. Netherite full set—top-tier diamond gear. Proper enchants.
"Whoa, this? I'll do it right now. Thanks. Got cash too?"
Admin drops a map.
"Drop 'em everywhere, no one goes. Right? Answer sheets everywhere, treated like trash."
"Not this, money. Game money. Gacha tickets fine!!"
Don't give me trash!! Cash!!
"Uh... can't be helped."
No money, no deal. Need higher admin. I summon admin multiple times. Then not-Kopi, some super admin shows.
"Sorry for the fuss. He's adventure dev... no takers, so harassing good villagers. Did same to others."
"No prob. Pay quest fee, I'll go. Kopi-admin's broke, can't pay. 1 mil game money, I'll go."
"..."
"Kya~ Thanks."
Higher admin? Drops 1 mil game money instant. Like before/after bathroom—different person?
"Then road-building first, then head out."
Got cash, grind 30 min on roads. No need grind now. Pave for housewarming. Hehe. Genius. Why? Admins chill. Stream-friendly, take all my angles... did same on Hakko server. Say anything, they roll with it!! So grateful. Sometimes better than streamers. Like now. Heehee.
