Chapter Title: Exploring Female Streamers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I thanked the chairman profusely. Three hundred thousand won was more than worth it.
After that, I dove into the full-blown exploration of female streamers.
"Alright, let's get started."
💬 Live Chat — Viewer Hurry up and dive in! — Viewer Heart pounding... — Viewer Not digging up another massive newbie like Heyni, right? — Viewer Jiwon Jiwon go go! — Viewer Ji-sang go go! My viewers flooded the chat with their favorite small-time female streamers. They were probably hoping for another Heyni-level breakout.
'Nah, Heyni was one of a kind.'
Heyni was a pearl hidden in the mud. She was destined to shine from the start.
Of course, I hadn't come unprepared either. I'd scouted some promising newbies in advance and planned to "stumble upon" them like it was pure chance.
'Gotta do my homework.'
Anyway, I pulled up the Express homepage and selected the Korean channels.
Korean streams popped up one after another. Even in the middle of the daytime, there were tons of streamers broadcasting.
That's when I noticed myself at the very top spot.
The leftmost position, no less.
In other words, I was currently the number one viewer draw on Express.
— Viewer lmao Jae-ho's blown up?! — Viewer #1 kek — Viewer KYAAAAAAAA! I pretended not to see the celebratory chats from my viewers. It felt kinda embarrassing.
'This is just daytime slots. To hit big corp status, I need to crush nighttime too.'
No time for complacency. I had to work harder.
Compared to mega streamers like Ma-sam or Dokgo Hwayeon—true corporate giants—I was still a nobody.
I scrolled through the streams from the top down.
Raiding streams recklessly was bad etiquette. It could annoy other streamers.
But streamers who enabled raid permissions were fair game.
Obviously, I only hit up those with permissions enabled.
'Let's see...'
Even during daytime, the variety was insane.
Music streams, mukbangs, talk shows, games, virtuals, sports—you name it.
But those were standard fare, stuff from my old Earth too.
I focused on the unique ones exclusive to this world.
'Oh, a monster hunt stream?'
One stream caught my eye immediately.
A monster hunt, but not just any hunt.
If it was plain old monster slaying, viewers would get bored.
'I'd watch Dokgo Hwayeon over some small-timer any day.'
But hunting in a bunny suit? That changed everything.
I clicked into a stream of a busty woman rocking nothing but a bunny suit while hunting.
This was unmissable.
[Hyaat! Hold up. It's squeezing too tight there!]
— Viewer WOAH — Viewer Didn't know streams like this existed? My viewers were loving it.
She seemed like a martial artist. The way she whipped that sword around to take down a massive orc screamed expert.
But that didn't matter to us.
All that mattered were the jiggling assets with every swing.
[Jiggle jiggle.]
Especially those breasts—H-cup at least. Biggest among streamers I knew.
Of course, I couldn't just blurt that out on stream.
I cleared my throat and pivoted.
"Ahem, your swordsmanship is impressive."
Truth be told, the swordplay barely registered. Boobs only. But I couldn't say that.
I lurked as a viewer for a bit, watching her slay the orc alongside the chat.
Even just spectating was entertaining.
That was the power of the chest, apparently.
Unfortunately, no chance for chit-chat. She was swamped.
[Haaat—!! Die already! It's still stuck there!]
[Jiggle jiggle!]
I slipped out with a twinge of regret.
"On to the next one."
Viewers were bummed.
— Viewer Aw... — Viewer Hmm... No helping it. Couldn't stare at tits forever.
I kept scrolling. Surprisingly unique streams everywhere. Made sense in a world of magic and martial arts.
'Any elves?'
As I'd mentioned before, this world had other races, including elves.
But elves were rare sights. Mostly holed up in Africa. Most non-humans were there. Asians were a tiny minority.
'No dice.'
I made a disappointed face.
Makes sense—if it was an elf, she'd have massive viewers. No way she'd be below me.
That's when it happened.
'Hm?'
Not an elf, but something wildly unique grabbed my eye.
I clicked without thinking.
[Aing, oppa! What do you think of my chest muscles?]
A woman in a bikini striking sexy poses.
Everyone would love this.
Bikini stream, after all.
But the chat was the opposite.
— Viewer GRAAAAH! I'm dying! — Viewer AAAGH! My eyes!! It was warranted.
A bearded dwarf woman striking those poses.
Rare as hell. I just stared blankly.
Dwarf tax, though—pitiful viewer count.
'Elf would've pulled 50k easy...'
Right then.
[Ho ho ho! Like my sexy pose? Gonna rice yet?]
Dwarves didn't mince words.
Didn't matter.
[Huh? Someone raiding my stream? Who? Jae-ho?!]
I snapped to at my name and bolted.
Staying longer felt like tempting doom.
"Phew... close call."
— Viewer You got lucky lololol "Not my type, I swear. Anyway, next stream."
Lesson learned: no more blind clicks. Too risky.
I refocused and kept raiding.
'Let's see...'
This time, a normal one. Cute female streamer.
[Oppa-deul! If you do that, Barangi's gonna pout?! Hmph!]
— Viewer Oooh! — Viewer She's pretty? She had black twin tails. Cute concept, big eyes, chubby cheeks. Adorbs.
Unlike Heyni, no spark. Just your average female streamer.
Maybe the dwarf trauma? She looked decent enough.
I tossed a casual chat.
🟢 Jae-ho1 — Jae-ho1 Hello, noona. Small-timers usually ate up chats like that. Precious traffic.
Not her, though.
[Aing, oppa! I'm pouting now, okay?]
Ignored me, kept yapping with others.
I tried again.
🟢 Jae-ho1 — Jae-ho1 Hello, noona. She read it immediately.
But her reaction? Way off script.
[Who the hell are you? Think you're that streamer Park Jae-ho or something? Why you forcing greetings on me?]
I'd just said hi. She acted like I was demanding worship. Absurd.
I stayed cool.
Getting mad here wouldn't be pro streamer vibes.
Kept chatting.
🟢 Jae-ho1 — Jae-ho1 I am Park Jae-ho. [So what if your name's Park Jae-ho?! I meant the streamer Park Jae-ho! Use your brain!]
I shut up for a sec.
I was that Park Jae-ho.
Nothing to say.
No need anyway. Her viewers caught on fast.
— Her Viewer She's legit Park Jae-ho! — Her Viewer We're screwed... Her chat freaked out. Total shock.
Barangi's eyes went wide. She knew she'd messed up.
She whipped out her phone, searched something.
Her face drained white.
[I-it's really Park Jae-ho...?]
Any daytime streamer worth their salt knew my name.
My new nickname: Daytime Tyrant.
No one could touch me daytime. She knew me too.
Just not my ID. Hence the fiasco.
I checked my chat.
— Viewer She's done for — Viewer You just poked the Jae-ho bear? They were pissed on my behalf. Kinda soothed me.
[S-sorry! Jae-ho! I-I didn't know it was you... F-forgive me!]
She full-on bowed. Forehead to floor.
Bang!
[Aak!]
Unreal.
Her forehead-smack cam showed up on my screen.
'Streamers are wild.'
Take back "average." Super unique.
And pro-level forehead smash. Perfect form.
'Impressive.'
I watched a sec, then dipped.
"Next stream?"
Her quick apology? Or the epic bow?
My chat chilled out.
I kept my poker face too.
Inside, though—not mad, just thoughtful.
'Ma-sam nailed it again.'
He said viewer count equals power for streamers.
I knew that, but this drove it home.
If I was some rando small-timer, no forehead smash.
Daytime Tyrant Park Jae-ho? Instant panic.
I renewed my resolve.
'Keep grinding the streams.'
Streaming was the best. My calling.
Never quitting. Stream till I drop, ideally.
Plus, that big corp dream burned brighter post-this.
Takes effort, obviously.
'Gonna surpass Ma-sam someday.'
Tough road.
But if I'm the rising sun, he's setting.
I'll overtake him eventually.
Just had that feeling.
'Damn right.'
