Chapter 101: Viewer Participation Vote
"...What is this, a mental asylum? Your true feelings... I know all about them~~!"
- Wow...
- Lee Do-hee has completely lost it...
- ......
- Let's tie up her arms and legs and use her as an elixir farm.
- Isn't it time to turn this crazy bitch into an onahole flesh toilet?
- National petition to legalize Lee Do-hee onaholes, let's go!
"Ahem, I'm perfectly fine. First, let's check the rewards before I leave."
- Oh, yeah, gotta see the rewards...
- Fr, the rewards are a serious matter.
[You have obtained an S-rank reward. Please choose your reward.]
This floor didn't have a solo bonus, nor did it have a true or hidden ending. It was purely S-rank in difficulty.
‘The Halo Dome performance was tough. You pretty much had to be a national-level idol to pull it off.’
And yet, it was only S-rank.
Anyone else hearing this would probably get mad and smack my ass, but for me, S-rank rewards had somehow become just another prize to collect.
‘Still, I might get something I actually need.’
I flipped over one of the cards that floated up, this one glowing a little less brilliantly than usual.
<Dance of Seduction Lv.3>
Tempt your opponent by performing a lewd dance.
Its power is proportional to your Lewd Power stat and skill level.
The success rate of brainwashing and interrogation on a seduced target increases significantly.
"Eh... the one I saw before came up again. It's a good skill. A skill that would normally be an SSS-rank reward appearing as an S-rank reward with a lower level is obviously a great deal, no matter how you look at it."
In fact, if I'd had this, I could have cleared this last trial easily just by dancing, without having to offer sexual favors.
- But Do-hee's effect works even without that skill.
- Fr, her body is a bio-pheromone bomb, so why bother?
- This bitch comes with Dance of Seduction pre-installed, lmaooo.
- Fight fair and square with your K-cups!
"Hmm... that's a decent skill, but I'll check the other options first."
[S-rank I'm an Exhibitionist]
When someone is looking at you, your base stats increase.
This applies to same-species and similar races, increasing by 1% per 10,000 people.
"Ugh... The skill is good, but why this name...?"
Couldn't they have named it something like 'I Am an Idol,' or 'Streamer,' or 'Object of Observation'?
My viewership has dropped a bit to around 60,000, so that means all my stats get a 6% boost.
The problem, however, is that it's clearly not a multiplicative bonus.
For example, my 3000% Divine Power would only increase to around 3006%.
‘It’s a small increase… Wait, before that, does watching the broadcast count?’
This damn, unhelpful Tower.
Given that it's 1% per 10,000 people, it probably includes viewers watching the broadcast, but it's pretty infuriating that they don't just say so.
- That's good, though?
- Whoa~ this is totally a late-game skill.
- In other trials, just start by being an idol first.
- Does watching from super far away count?
- Probably has to be within your range of perception.
- Seems like it's for space wars.
It might not be a huge boost right now, but things would be different if a planetary-scale war broke out.
‘Planetary-scale battles do happen on the upper floors… If one of those were broadcast live, the viewership could reach the hundreds of millions.’
If 100 million people were watching live, that would be a 1000% increase.
‘What the hell, it is broken.’
"I'll just check the last option before I decide, shall I? This is a great choice for a streamer."
Come to think of it, even a 6% boost to my base stats is pretty good.
I opened the last option without much expectation.
[S-rank Lewd Woman]
When holding semen in your womb, your Divine Power recovery speed increases by 100%.
"...Is this another joke?"
- No? That's good, though?
- Fr, this one's for the late game too.
- Divine Power recovery speed becomes fucking important later on.
- Do-hee, think carefully.
- At least you got something good for clearing the trial by selling your body.
- It would've been touching if the skill name was something like Serenia, fuck.
‘Is that so…? Maybe it’s better than I thought.’
I already have an insane amount of Divine Power; the problem is my abysmal recovery rate.
[Divine Power Recovery Speed: 2 per hour]
Considering my Divine Power is close to 3000, it would take 1500 hours to recover it all through natural regeneration alone. That's about two months.
Of course, I haven't worried about it much since my breast milk restores 100 Divine Power, but the effects of potions diminish with overuse, so I do need to increase my natural recovery rate eventually.
‘But still, ‘I’m an Exhibitionist’ is just too good.’
"I'll go with 'I'm an Exhibitionist.' Someday, when my broadcast expands globally, the bonus will be huge."
- Fr, it'll be great later on.
- If like 10 billion people watch her during another trial, she'll instantly become OP.
- Such an attention whore, lmaooo.
- This bitch just enjoys public sex, lol.
- Good, good.
- A shame about Lewd Woman.
- Ah, she should've just walked around with her womb full of cum all the time.
After I chose the trait and checked my stats, I saw they had increased by an amount corresponding exactly to my current viewership. So, it seems live broadcasts do count.
With that done, I left the Tower.
"Phew, how long has it been since I've breathed outside air?"
As I stepped outside, waving to the people greeting me at the base of the Tower, a cool breeze blew past.
I had entered at the tail end of summer; now, it was autumn.
Looking out at the Seoul skyline from the railing felt strangely novel.
‘It looks similar to how it did about ten years ago...’
I watched the sun set over the Seoul skyline for a moment before slowly making my way down.
"Oh, and I'm not ending the stream."
- Huh?
- For real?
- You're just gonna keep it on?
"Yes. It's time I started watching my back."
This was the real world now.
A month and a half had passed since I'd rebelled against the great guilds.
I had been safe inside the Tower, and the great guilds had likely held back, wary of public opinion. But now, with some time having passed and public interest waning, I could be attacked at any time, anywhere.
I could still be attacked with the stream on, but the repercussions would be different.
There's a huge difference between being attacked on camera, leaving video evidence, and simply disappearing one day. In the former case, the public might rise up in outrage again, so the great guilds would have to be extremely cautious.
Besides, my daily life wasn't anything special, and after being constantly watched during the trials on the 21st and 22nd floors, I was completely used to it.
"I'll just change the stream title if something happens."
When I got back to my apartment, the security guards, whom I hadn't seen in a while, greeted me.
"Serenia! Forever! Sob...!"
"Do-hee, did you bring back any Sua merch...?"
‘What’s with those guys...’
You couldn't bring items out of the Tower, even in your inventory, unless they were special items treated as trial loot.
I did my best to ignore the guards' sparkling eyes and headed up to the second floor.
Walking down the slightly unfamiliar hallway, I opened the door to apartment 203 and stepped inside.
After living in the Serenia dorms for so long, even the few pairs of shoes in the shoe rack felt unfamiliar.
"My place is tidy."
The apartment had been kept perfectly clean, probably by the landlady.
I ordered all the high-calorie foods I couldn't eat while I was controlling my weight—chicken, pizza, jokbal [braised pig's trotters], bossam [boiled pork wraps]—and chatted with my viewers about recent events while I ate.
"Iran failed their Tower conquest and now everything's in chaos...? Sigh..."
- They say it's collapsing next week...
- People are freaking out, saying Tehran is doomed.
- That's what happens when you act tough and say you don't need help...
- Right? Why antagonize the World Awakener Association, going on about Allah and whatnot...
- Tsk, it's a shame, but they brought it on themselves.
If a country fails to ascend even a single floor within a year, its Tower collapses. The problem isn't just the explosion and the destruction.
Monsters pour out from the rubble, their levels averaging ten to twenty floors higher than the floor the Tower had reached before collapsing. And until every last piece of debris is destroyed and cleared away, those monsters will keep respawning and roaming the area.
That's why the strategy of letting the Tower collapse and dealing with the aftermath from the outside doesn't work. Considering the city itself gets annihilated in the collapse, you have no choice but to handle it from within.
I also heard an unexpected piece of news.
"The Sword Saint is making a comeback?"
Korea's Blind Sword Saint, the guild master from the era of the former Seven Great Guilds.
In my past life, he was the one whose eyes I'd gouged out in a final, desperate act before I died. He'd fallen from grace after losing his sight, but I heard he recently made a comeback, claiming to have opened a "third eye" or some such nonsense.
After my mukbang ended, I normally would have turned off the stream, but...
"I'm going to get some work done! I'll turn off the chat for now."
- Abandoning us again!
- You left us for a month and a half for just 90 minutes of interaction?
- You'd better compensate us with your pussy later.
- Sigh, I'll only put up with this for a few more days.
- You need to hurry up with the elixir provision.
"Yes, that's actually what this is about, so please wait just a moment."
I turned on my computer and opened the work-related documents that had been sent to me.
These documents had all been organized by our guild's administrator, Lee Ji-hye, so all I had to do was read the summaries and make the decisions.
‘This is the perk of starting a guild... Damn right!’
The first item on the agenda was, as expected, my breast milk.
The initial paperwork had been approved by the World Awakener Association, and now I had to appear in person at their headquarters in Switzerland for a second, more detailed examination.
I'd already received approval from the Korean Awakener Association, of course, but that was just a formality and utterly useless. I scanned through the list of inspection items from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
◎Lee Do-hee's Breast Milk
(All values based on a 200ml serving)
Fat…
Protein…
Carbohydrates…
‘I don’t need to see this...’
I wouldn't understand the detailed nutritional information anyway. I just confirmed it was high in protein and moved on.
- Total Calories: 345kcal
‘That’s pretty high-calorie for 200ml. You wouldn’t starve to death if this was all you had to drink.’
Compared to regular milk, which is around 100 to 150 calories, that was a significant amount.
Better yet, it wasn't produced from the nutrients I consumed, but created by the power of my trait combining with my body's own nutrients, meaning I could be self-sufficient.
◆Special Notes
- Rich in vitality. When consumed by a normal person, it acts as a restorative and aphrodisiac with no side effects.
- No expiration date. Naturally prevents spoilage and the growth of harmful bacteria. This is presumed to be due to its Divine Power content.
- Potion Tolerance: The first three servings restore the full 100 Divine Power. Starting from the fourth, the effect is reduced by 20% per serving. It takes one hour for tolerance to reset enough to receive the full effect of one serving again.
- No harmful substances detected.
‘The tolerance threshold is a bit more lenient than for potions made with regular alchemy. Nothing else out of the ordinary.’
I wrote a reply scheduling my departure for Switzerland in a week's time and moved on to the next item.
I had pretended to turn off the chat, but I peeked at the window I'd left open and saw it was in an uproar again.
- KRAAAAAH, where are you going now!
- You're going to provide the elixirs before you leave, right?
- If you try to run, I'll fucking rape you at the airport.
- Airport rape, let's goooo!!!
- I'll show you what departure sex is ^^
- I'll fuck you senseless at 10,000 meters above sea level.
‘These crazy bastards… But they’re only like this because they like me, right?’
I already knew my fans' hidden true feelings. So I wasn't worried.
The second item.
Elixir Provision.
"Phew... As expected. The time has come."
There were even several proposals prepared.
There were highly detailed proposals written out: doing it while stuck in a wall like last time; a game of tag where you get fucked if you're caught; being thrown into the middle of hundreds of men to be gang-raped; getting fucked while locked in a pillory... and so on.
"Did... did Ji-hye write these...? Ah, no, she must have based them on posts from the fan cafe... Right..."
[Please select your desired scenario and date.]
‘Desired scenario... This is a tough one...’
Right, isn't this what viewers are for?
Since I'd just left the stream on like a CCTV camera without interacting, only about 5,000 people were watching. And 90% of them were probably just listening in like a radio while doing other things.
"Alright, everyone, wake up. Let's pick one with a vote."
Since I'm getting fucked either way, it wouldn't hurt to do it in a way the viewers prefer, right?
"First, I'll post the options on the fan cafe. Just hit the 'recommend' button for the one you want."
1. Stuck in a wall
2. A game of tag where you get fucked if caught
3. Thrown into the middle of hundreds and gang-raped
4. Prisoner's Stock and Fucked (Pillory)
"Sigh... These are all completely insane. But what are prisoner's stocks? A pil... lory?"
Curious, I searched for it online. It showed a person with their neck and hands locked in a wooden frame, their rear left completely defenseless.
"...You've got to be kidding me."
- Kya~ finally.
- Hehehehe...
- Man~ it's so hard to choose.
- What if we want something else?
"Ahem... If you have any other, better ideas... sigh... just do whatever."
- Whoa~ she's really gonna do it?
- Hehehe... As expected from Emperor Do when it comes to fan service.
- Now this is a real idol, lmaooo.
- You crazy bastards, lol.
- I'm getting dizzy, lol.
- How about we make a limbless onahole?
- Uhehehehe.
"Ah... I'm not accepting anything too gory or physically impossible. Sigh, how did I end up like this..."
- Ahem! Can't you see your guild members are desperately waiting for that Hole-Sharing Brotherhood Effect?
- You should be grateful we're helping you farm Lewd Power~
- Finally, some real viewer participation.
