Chapter Title: This is the Difference in Talent
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, farming alone really doesn't net much.
Even if I bring this to big sis, it won't make a dent.
If only there was some other way...
"Ah, thanks for the 10,000 won donation. But incompetent big sis? This is all something I'm doing because I want to."
I've just been mining pipes this whole time.
Yet somehow, the viewers are freaking out that they can't donate to help me.
Why does everyone look at me like I'm so pitiful?
I'm just gathering pipes to give to Lilith sis...
"Lulu! There you are."
"Ah, GemVillain. Hello."
While I was silently continuing my farming.
Some character approached and spoke to me.
Looking at the nickname above their head, it was GemVillain, who had visited my pumpkin patch before.
"I was actually looking for you. Thanks for taking care of me at the pumpkin patch yesterday. It's nothing much, but I brought some pipes as a thank-you."
"Pipes...?!"
GemVillain dumped the pipes on the ground and bowed deeply in thanks.
As I picked them up, I realized it was a huge amount.
Whoa, they're giving me this many?
This is about as much as I've gotten from drumming on barrels for an hour.
"Thank you so much...! I really needed pipes."
"Yeah, thought so. More pipes the better, right? Are you stocking up early for gun-making materials too, Lulu?"
I bobbed my head in gratitude.
GemVillain must think I'm gathering from the barter shop for gun parts.
The casual question lit up the chat.
Sheesh, saying it like that makes me sound like the bad guy.
This is purely to give to our precious big sis!
Everyone's such haters.
"Not for that, but I need them for something. Anyway, thank you!"
"No, thank you. If you need field items next time, let me know!"
"Yes!"
Hehe.
Now I've got almost 900 pipes already.
A bit more and big sis will be thrilled when I give them to her.
I was grinning at the thought of her happy face.
"Oh, Lulu!"
"Lulu! About that pumpkin tea last time..."
"Thanks for helping back then. It's not much, but as a token..."
Somehow word got out about my location, and streamers started showing up one by one.
Not just to say hi—they all came to repay me.
Some gave good field materials.
Others even handed over top-tier iron pickaxes.
But the most welcome item right now was, of course...
"Everyone! I've got a ton of pipes now! Hehe, Lilith sis will love this, right?"
Pipes for big sis.
Over 2,000 already.
As I pointed at the pile with my cursor to brag to viewers.
The moment I thought, 'Why blackout?'
Viewers started agreeing fervently.
Sigh, no good.
The Cherries are being naughty today.
They won't listen.
Hating on my big sis like that.
"No badmouthing! Anyway, I gotta bring this to Lilith sis quick."
I neatly ignored the viewers' uproar.
And turned my steps back to the casino.
Seeing my bag stuffed with pipes made my heart light.
Lulu's seed money was overflowing.
But even that was no match for Lilith's disastrously bad luck.
In the end, gambling comes down to luck over cash.
"No, this is straight-up rigged, I swear?! It never hits when I bet 20x, but comes up when I safe-bet 2x? Makes no sense?!"
Nearly 3,000 pipes had dwindled below 1,000.
Amid this, Lilith was busy yelling at the system.
President Haneul Bom watched pityingly from behind.
"How'd she end up like that...?"
Viewers chimed in on her mumble.
From a third-party view, gambling-addicted Lilith looked like a total risk.
Of course, everyone knew it was partly stream concept.
But even accounting for that, it was no laughing matter.
"How many pipes has she blown from Lulu's gift?"
"Ugh, hopeless."
Blowing the maknae's painstakingly saved pumpkin tea pipes on this crap.
Kang Haneul wanted to smack her upside the head.
No combat allowed in casino, though—too bad.
"Lilith sis!"
"Huh?"
After watching Lilith gamble awhile.
A familiar voice made Kang Haneul turn.
Lulu's character was bounding toward Lilith.
Same model, same run animation—but to Haneul, it felt like Lulu's usual bouncy steps.
"Sis, won a lot?"
"Ah, no... Sorry. Haven't won much yet... B-but I'll pay back quick, don't worry!"
Lilith answered dejectedly to Lulu's bright question.
Nearly 70% of the seed money gone.
No wonder she couldn't raise her voice.
"Pay back my ass."
Kang Haneul muttered in disbelief.
To repay nearly 3,000? Unless she all-ins 20x on the remaining and reverse-hits—impossible.
Even angel Lulu would snap at this attitude.
Haneul watched silently, half-expecting the blowup.
But Lulu did the unexpected.
"Hehe, it's fine! Here."
Swoosh—
Another item pile on the floor.
Haneul's eyes widened.
'No way?'
Glancing at Lulu hopefully.
Lulu replied in her signature perky voice.
"Huh? What's this?"
"More pipes for you, sis!"
"What...?!"
Lilith scooped them up with a shocked voice.
A massive pile, similar to before.
No way she farmed this in so short a time.
400 an hour tops; back in under two with 2,400?
"N-no, Lulu-chan. Where'd you get all these pipes?"
Even gambling-blind Lilith had to snap to and ask.
Lulu answered brightly.
"I made a pumpkin patch, actually. Gave pumpkin tea to visitors, and they thanked me with pipes."
"Huh...?"
Pumpkin patch? Tea?
Then Lilith recalled the news from viewers and members.
Meant to check it out someday.
But quests and gambling distracted her.
As viewer outrage piled on.
Lilith realized she'd stepped on a landmine.
Not just any pipes—ones from Lulu's heartfelt pumpkin tea sales, wasted like water.
"L-Lulu-chan. You gave those precious pipes to sis...? Why to a screw-up like me...?"
Not stream schtick—Lilith genuinely teared up.
Lulu's answer was simple.
"Huh? Don't know what you mean. I love sis no matter what, and I'd do anything for her."
"......"
Lulu's pure, sincere words—no lies.
Chat turned to a sea of tears instantly.
President Kang Haneul watched warmly from afar.
The two eye-contacted long.
Just avatars, but Lilith felt emotions swell as gazes met.
What was she trying to do, exploiting this sweet kid?
"Sniff, Lulu, sorry...! Sis didn't know...!"
She pulled her character close like a hug.
Spilling emotions in mutters.
Not real tears, just acting—but feelings real.
"Sis won't gamble anymore...! I'll farm the field with you, Lulu-chan, have fun...!"
"S-sis? No need to apologize. As long as you're happy...?"
"No, no...!"
Her apologetic promise to change.
Chat flooded with tears and laughs.
Touching scene, sure.
But in-game? Hilarious.
Yet Lulu's line hit too deep to call over-immersion.
"Finally coming to your senses?"
"President, what have I done to our maknae...?"
"Figure it out yourself. Just repay Lulu-chan's love now."
Kang Haneul approached the gambling-cured Lilith with advice.
Her calm, distant-gaze anime-style line had everyone in stitches.
"Everyone, how do you do this?"
Lulu, sidelined, eyed the nearby roulette curiously.
Sis risked life on it—must be fun.
"Just once, so I'll go all-in on 20x?"
She'd given back all Lilith's pipes anyway.
Pondering at the roulette, Lulu dumped the whole stack.
A whopping 3,213.
"L-Lulu?! Too much!"
Lilith rushed over in horror to stop her.
Viewers too.
"Nah, it's fine. Gathered for sis anyway—write-off and play."
She could farm more from now.
Clean slate, all-in—Lulu.
Whirr—
Wheel spun fast.
Creeak—creeak—
Slowing, red arrow ticked.
Everyone but Lulu held breath.
"...Huh?"
"Yay! 20x! We won, everyone!"
Arrow stopped on 20.
Lilith's stunned sigh, Lulu's cheer.
Thus Lulu out-earned all streamers that day in pipes.
Earning her the title among streamers and viewers: Gambling God, 'Doshin'.
