Troublesome Donations Crossing the Line
"Alright then, now that we've got a good crowd, let's get right into it. You all came here to buy the Dragon Dick Whip, right?"
'SeminBigHeart' donated 50,000 won.
"Ah, thanks for the 50k donation! N-no, this isn't that kind of room!"
'SeminBigHeart' donated 50,000 won.
Dance.
"Ah, n-no... Th-thanks for the 50k dona—"
'SeminBigHeart' donated 50,000 won.
Dance.
"Wh-what do I do...?"
This was the first time I'd ever gotten donations totaling this much money, so of course I was flustered. That guy had already dropped nearly 200k... What the hell do I do? Plus, from the chat reactions, it seemed like most people had just hopped in because of the high viewer count.
...I'd clearly announced this was an item-selling stream, but somehow the vibe was shifting. If things kept going like this, dancing would tank my rep, and not dancing would tank it too?
"...Um, SeminBigHeart? Th-the thing is, I don't have any songs I can dance to... So right now, it's kinda tough. I've got prepared content anyway..."
'SeminBigHeart' donated 250,000 won.
Dance later then.
"H-huh?! Uh... O-okay! ...I'll practice as much as I can. Thanks so much for the donation!"
Dancing on stream? I'd never even considered it. Back when I streamed before, donations were rarer than rain in a drought, so I'd always gone overboard with my reactions to be generous. From handstands clapping with my feet to 108 bows—looking back, it was a bit much.
...But dancing? Obviously, I'd never danced a day in my life. And I couldn't just take all that cash and do nothing; that wasn't me. It wasn't about being money-grubby—reacting to donors is streamer 101.
...No choice but to practice dancing, I guess. Screw it, what's a little dance? Go dig up the playground dirt right now. See if you can find even 500 won. Money isn't everything, but nothing's more precious. If you get something precious, you gotta give back—that's just human decency.
Anyway, the important thing now was selling the item, so I focused on that.
"First, lemme grab the item. Hang on a sec!"
A moment later, I picked up the Dragon Dick Whip from the corner and showed it to the camera.
"This is the Dragon Dick Whip item I'm selling."
Then I used the streaming system to share the appraisal results with viewers.
◈ A legendary whip made by hardening a dragon's genitals. Nicknamed Dragon Dick Whip.
◈ Said to be crafted by a legendary mercenary with peculiar tastes.
◈ Shrunk to 1/100th size, but don't underestimate its power.
◈ Made from a Fire Dragon's dick, so it still feels faintly warm.
◈ Effect: Inflicts fear on low-rank monsters.
'asdsdser12' donated 4,000 won.
Pretty please, can you sandwich it between your tits, unnie?
Why the hell would anyone request that? "N-no way! Thanks for the 4k donation."
And demanding something that extreme for just 4k? Even if I'm broke, there's such a thing as unit price.
...Not that I'd ever do it, of course.
'HunterYiHayeon' donated 10,000 won.
Hi, Semin. Quick question—mind sharing the acquisition source?
"Ah, thanks for the 10k. Acquisition source... Uh, huh?"
Yi Hayeon? The real deal I knew? My jaw wouldn't shut. If this was legit Yi Hayeon, this was huge news.
Hunter Yi Hayeon. Among hundreds of A-rank hunters, she topped the charts as an ultra-elite.
I froze at the name for a sec, then frowned. ...Why would Yi Hayeon want this item? It was solid, sure, but I'd peg it at C-rank tops. Community guesses matched that.
Could be a fake, but impersonating a hunter gets you mega-punished, like chat said.
...Whatever the reason, not my business. I regained my composure.
"Well, how I got the item... It's thanks to my ability."
"My ability lets me open a portal and pull out random items."
'MilkFactory' donated 10,000 won.
Can you pull out milk too?
...Is that the meaning I think it is? "N-no, not that! I just awakened recently. Anyway, you'll believe it if I prove it, so watch this."
Can't cuss out a donor, and my first stream was already chaos. There are all kinds of wild abilities out there, but mine was extra weird. So no wonder people wouldn't buy it without a demo—I'd held off using it today just for this.
"Watch closely, everyone."
I focused mana in my right hand and opened a portal right there.
"Alright, pulling one out?"
I grabbed the item in my hand and yanked it out of the portal.
"Lemme see, this time we got... Hmm, a cat-ear headband. Appraisal time?"
I grabbed the appraiser and scanned the cat-ear headband.
"Wh-what?! This... what is this?!"
The item's effect was a little off. ...Can I even review this on stream? Shit, if I do, I might die of embarrassment right then and there. But I can't not review it...
Looks like I'm in deep shit.
