Chapter Title: You're Gonna Do It Anyway
-----------------------------------------------------------------
『You crazy bastard, is that for real?』
『Donations f*ck lololololol』
『Admin and Yakcha Rule, this is peak entertainment lol』
『Who's gonna step up?』
『Community's already a total mess』
『lololololol』
『No wonder the chat slowed down all of a sudden lololol』
『Everyone's too busy posting on the community』
『Armchair Advisor, you planning to backseat again?』
『Dude, can't you just do one normal stream for a single day?』
『Great stream today as always』
As the chat slowed to a crawl, the community posts exploded in number proportionally.
Every refresh replaced the posts I'd just seen with brand-new ones.
The weird part was, even with so many posts, each one's views had doubled from before—not dropped like you'd expect.
They've got the collective intelligence to pull this off, but nobody bothers replying to my posts?
Starting to feel a bit annoyed.
Maybe I should just end the stream.
Honestly, at this point, I've achieved the original goal of starting the broadcast.
『Whoa!』
『Wait, is that actually possible?』
『No way the 5-minute stream is ending already? For real?』
『End it and I'll sh*t my pants』
Ah.
Caught me.
Quick on the uptake.
Like how orphans stuck in the Magic Tower learn 2nd-circle spells after three years.
After doing this so many times, the viewers are getting used to it.
This kills any motivation to end the stream.
Ending on a high note is part of the appeal, but that's gone now.
Guess I'll keep it going for now.
Let's see...
What've we got.
I scrolled through the community posts.
Hmm...
Classic community.
A bit of misinformation mixed in.
I told the admin to settle it 1v1 themselves—I never said I'd do it.
Of course I'll watch.
『Misunderstanding?』
『What misunderstanding?』
『Feeling uneasy now』
『Spill it quick』
『???』
『If not you, then who???』
『?????』
『Here he goes again』
『My stomach's already hurting』
Yeah, who will do it.
We need someone representative that everyone can acknowledge.
『You do it』
『This communication working right?』
『Chat censored or something? Can you see this?』
『Don't troll fr』
『Finish the f*cking massive crazy ball you launched!』
Such a huge crowd, yet not one volunteer. Truly regrettable.
The admin's like a lord, after all.
Still, in a situation like this, some hotheaded fool should step up to shine their name: "I'll challenge the local lord! Accept my blade!" But nope.
I was ready to hype whoever showed up. Why's no one applying?
『If you do it no one complains』
『Don't push it on others, you...!』
『Ugh! My neck!』
Crunch.
Hmm...
'Just pick one viewer. Someone must wanna try fighting the admin.'
Stronger than Yura, huh.
Some info on the admin's out. Filed away that it's stronger than Yura and typed in chat.
『Stronger than Cruise?』
Ah.
Wrong place.
Chat got swept away in the flood instantly.
Saw some sparks flying in chat now and then, but ignored it and pulled out the whiteboard.
Answers come better here.
Got it.
Good enough.
I considered doing it myself, but no real reason to.
What's the point if I'm just gonna win anyway.
No fun watching or playing something with a predetermined ending.
The only appeal's participating yourself, at best.
Why.
It's true.
So after thinking it over, excluding viewers, two candidates came to mind.
Names were fuzzy, but records showed them clearly.
Diamond Guardian.
And Not Abdominal General Warrior.
The ones I did the 1-million-won bet with before.
Did they upload jobless 1F clears?
Checked community—nope.
Guardian did upload a 1F clear, but not jobless, so irrelevant.
『Haven't heard those names in ages』
『That's why they didn't take the 1 mil? F*ck lololol』
『Can't handle today's stream drift』
『You get permission?』
1 mil or 1v1 with admin.
Not bad.
Community riots and executions can't compare to real territory drama.
Meaning, normally a level-2 riot would've led to lord vs peasants deathmatch, but since it's not a real territory, emotions don't escalate that far.
Viewers can chase dopamine elsewhere.
『Sounds fun』
『But if they lose, we're f*cked right?』
『My alt? Everyone's got at least one Isekai ID right?』
『Got 6 clean alts so no biggie』
And so.
As it settled on the admin dueling the 1-mil debtors...
The community admin posted.
One of the League of Worlds community admins.
The one exposed for embezzlement this time.
Lee Han-soo was flabbergasted.
"What? Who decided on a 1v1?"
He wasn't involved; the rest of the community decided among themselves.
No obligation for him to join.
So he.
Wrote that.
A post refusing to participate.
This was tantamount to.
Glove thrown down for a duel.
Lord yelling, "Why the hell would I do that?"
And on top.
Lee Han-soo added one more post.
Press suppression incoming.
The duel-dodging lord.
Was about to lead his knights to crush the honor duel challengers and witnesses.
Refreshing the community, I saw the admin's post faster than anyone.
First thought: Admins or lords, same belly-button strategy.
No helping it then.
Not doing it is the lord's freedom.
And reigniting the riot during negotiations is the peasants' freedom.
Negotiations failed? Back to business.
Let go of the reins on the held-back viewers.
The fizzling community reignited.
Who knows how many fires this made. God knows.
This one was way bigger than before.
Others from different communities joining in.
Some spreading to other communities, causing a brief wildfire across many.
Burnt communities sending folks back to origin to fan flames.
Pure fire festival cycle.
Amid the raging inferno community.
Terror posts blooming everywhere.
One post stood out.
Few comments but tons of upvotes, rightfully a popular post.
The only sane popular post in the flames.
An hour later.
The admin, realizing the cost of failed negotiations.
Accepted the 1v1.
Crunch.
You're gonna do it anyway, so why dodge.
