Challenge (3)
Rustling around, I dramatically pulled out that.
"Ta-da! Can everyone see this? This is the signed uniform I got back then."
"Dad framed it back then because he said it was super valuable."
"And next..."
"This one's from our ace, Yoo Ji-soo."
"Hey, chill."
It didn't really bother me, but for some broadcast flair, I overreacted a bit to give the viewers a little poke. Absolutely not scratched. Thanks to Ji-soo, even in the season after trash chicken, we still got second place from behind—that's a win. Cheers to that. Shit.
Anyway, definitely not scratched.
"This is all our tiki-taka. Admit I'm doing great for a first broadcast?"
"Oh yeah, fashion. I swear, last season I was only catching up through news and articles."
"Cut from fall baseball, playoffs... Wanna say that to my face?"
"For real, I'm a fashion fan. For about a year I was busy with part-time gigs so I couldn't keep up with my faves. I couldn't even climb higher than Black in King of Fist."
I'd been chatting with viewers and hadn't noticed, but we'd already blown past a thousand and were nearing two thousand. For a daytime stream, that's top 10 banner territory. No idea when they all piled in, but with more people who didn't know KoF or my Threay nick, it looked like a ton of top banner traffic.
"Alright, alright, no fighting. Let's all get along. If you don't know, just teach 'em."
"Looks like a lot of new faces today, so King of Fist is a fighting game. I'm pretty good at it, so I pulled some aggro."
Suddenly Moo-ma got dragged in, with chats saying I carried him, turning into a cow meme flow. Whoa. Chat momentum is scary. Gotta cut this quick.
"Pfft, quit with the nonsense. If you're so curious, come at me. I'll wreck you all. If I drop even one set, I'll give you 100,000 won."
I hadn't planned to game on my debut, but the flow led here. With real money on the line even if small, attention snapped back to Moo-ma stuff on me.
Win them all for real
100,000 won
"Ow, thanks."
Take 1 loss—if you lose, room selfie in requested pose?
100,000 won
"Huh? Then I win no matter what, no loss for me. But room selfie is leaving a selfie on the viewer's channel, right?"
"Wait wait! Guys! Calm down!"
[Multiple missions stacking]
Missions popping non-stop. Success missions stayed at 100k, but failure ones kept climbing.
"Guys! Hold up! Hold up!"
Bad feeling we'd get messy without rules, so I called hold, but cash kept pouring. Guess I'd have to hit cancel. With teasing BGM, missions canceled—chat lit up mildly.
"Nah, it's not that I hate or like room selfies, but we need rules. Can't have someone drop 100 won and snag one. Let's set a limit."
Take 1 loss—in current outfit, room selfie in requested pose? Min 100k
100,000 won *1 hour limit*
Mission up right after I spoke. Whoever it was, they posted clean—either mission vet or selfie pro. Kinda scary.
"Adding one more rule: Even if it goes higher, no extra from me. So if it's a loss, just bet 100k max."
With min set, no flood of alarms like before.
[Multiple missions stacking rapidly]
...Are there really this many rich people in Korea? Alarms blaring even at 100k min. This balance is off—totally in my favor.
"Guys, if I throw it on purpose, it's over right? Too easy for me. This doesn't even make sense. What is this, allowance giveaway?"
Chats I rarely saw in Seung-yoon's room. Whoa, pretty girls are the best. But so sweet my teeth are rotting. This cringey vibe—thanks but ugh. Didn't notice as viewer, but target now? Insanely cringe. We had good tiki-taka earlier, why this... Heard streams thrive on momentum shifts. Hard to adapt. But anti-sweet chats pop up occasionally to balance.
"Eh, fails are boring. Fine. If I win, I'll give half the loss pot. No fails then? Room's up, come on in. Password's today's date."
Mix of big donors from other pretty girl streams and haters clashing in tiki-taka or beef. Quit fighting humans.
"Guys stop fighting. Want the mission cash? Hurry up and join."
Quelled chat, fired up KoF. Room title simple: aaa123. Soon folks trickling into password room. Ranks varied—from Green Danya masses to my Black level.
Hmm...
Firepower dying down—loss pot capped at 500k, no more. Close eyes, throw one, pocket 250k easy. Reactions say even throw fine. But 500k means 50 selfies—annoying, but 50 snaps for 250k profit? Fees/taxes eat half, still huge. Issue: Never took selfies as guy, might hit reality check. But I'll go different route. Could throw for cash, but to prove skill cool, full sweep. Show money won't sway me—big for future streams.
"All you joined are my meals."
"About ten in now. We'll go entry order. Losers leave room."
Skip 500k loss pot, take 100k win pot. My KoF pride won't break for 150k net after half to challengers minus 40% fee. Ahem...
