024. Outdoor Stream for Health
The livestreaming platform, Chur.
Here, it was possible to limit the number of viewers.
I had glanced at the platform in the morning and stumbled upon the setting by chance.
And it happened to be exactly the setting I needed.
I wanted to block new inflow for the time being, after all.
At first, I had been thinking of gathering a few dozen viewers or so.
But my current thoughts were different.
I felt like I absolutely wouldn't be able to handle that many people.
‘If bastards like Cheosu multiplied several times over... that would really be hopeless.’
The more viewers increased.
The idea that my loneliness would be resolved more was also foolish.
Since quality was more important than quantity.
Honestly, I didn't feel a lack with just the current members.
‘Even if I grew the stream, it was better to do it once I was a bit more used to it.’
There was a saying about too much being as bad as too little.
Going overboard was the same as falling short.
It was clear that if viewers massively increased all at once, I'd just get stressed.
‘Even when I appeared on Hyeon-su's broadcast, I got a little stressed.’
So I decided to expand my scale slowly, very slowly.
***
The chat window flooded with question mark characters.
I simply ignored them.
The viewers' opinions were none of my business.
Because the decision had already been made.
Asking what they thought was merely a notice disguised as a question.
I immediately manipulated the settings.
And limited the viewer count to ten people.
【Qkrnfl892】─What the. He actually changed the settings.
【Plum Tree】─Even though no one answered lol
【Reformed Guburi】─If you were gonna do this, why ask what we thought?
【Hottie Licker】─A tyrant lol lick.
"I can't just change it without saying anything."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Saying it like a question and then changing it is more fucked up, shit
【Yoho】─It didn't seem like you had any intention of seeking our consent from the start...
【Dick Lover】─lol Cute.
【BigGirl】─I feel like I won't be able to get in later because it'll be full. Couldn't you at least tell us your fixed stream time so we can wait or something?
"Fixed stream time? I don't have that kind of thing."
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah this bastard originally turns it on whenever he feels like it.
【Min-ji】─I'll have to check my phone frequently from now on T_T
【Se-hun Defense Force】─This is bad.
"Hmm..."
Originally, I had planned to accept viewers on a first-come, first-served basis.
But seeing the chat changed my mind a bit.
Was there really a need to be fair?
I pondered it briefly.
And the conclusion I reached.
I decided to give the existing viewers a moral privilege.
In a way, they were no different from the founding contributors of a nation.
‘But how should I give them a privilege?’
The first thing that came to mind was a password-locked stream.
A closed broadcast you could only enter by typing the password set by the streamer.
‘...Putting a password on it seemed a bit off, though.’
I had no intention of completely blocking new inflow.
I couldn't seal the entrance.
I had to keep at least one floodgate of the dam open.
There was also a method of setting a password only until all existing viewers had entered, but I couldn't wait indefinitely for them all to come in.
And fiddling with the stream settings every time was a hassle.
‘Were there no other settings?’
Some platforms apparently had view restrictions by level, but this platform seemingly didn't have anything like that.
‘There was an adult restriction among the entry restrictions...’
The 19+ Adult Rating setting wasn't even worth considering.
Since anyone who verified their age could enter.
It was while I was continually pondering what method to use.
Se-hun Defense Force's chat caught my eye.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Can't you at least give us an entry code?
I'd never heard of an entry code before.
I first decided to ask what it was.
"Huh? What's an entry code?"
【Se-hun Defense Force】─If you know the code, you can enter even when the viewer count is full.
【Qkrnfl892】─Wow, they really have everything.
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Is it a super ticket?
【Yoho】─Gasp. I'll buy that entry code.
【Min-ji】─Me too! How much is it?
【Dick Lover】─I'll buy it for 100 million.
"Buy what... Anyway, so if there's an entry code, it means you can get in without getting hit by the entry restriction, right?"
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Yeah, usually they only give the code to the manager, as far as I know.
【Yoho】─I'm the manager ha
【Hottie Licker】─Me too! Lick!
【Reformed Guburi】─lol Hand it over quickly! Bye bye to the other bastards.
"Giving it only to those three cockroaches is a bit... so I'll just tell all nine of you here the code."
【Reformed Guburi】─Cockroaches? Ahem! You have no manners toward your life savior!
"Can you just shut up."
With Se-hun Defense Force's help, I was able to find the code.
The entry code was 「#2981@!@773#」.
"I'll post the code in chat, so save it."
【★Hun's World】─#2981@!@773#
I immediately posted the code I found in the chat window.
If my room was full of viewers, the existing viewers just had to enter by typing this code.
【Reformed Guburi】─Sex! Saved!
【BigGirl】─Thank you.
【Yoho】─I'll print it out and put it in a safe.
【Min-ji】─I'm looking for a safe too haha
【Dick Lover】─Gonna carve a tattoo with this.
【Qkrnfl892】─Got something more precious than my dog tags lol. I can lose a shell casing, but I mustn't lose this code.
【Plum Tree】─Engraved it into my soul.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Stored it in my subspace pouch lol
【Hottie Licker】─These lunatics are going nuts above lol lick.
It seemed they each saved it on their own.
If they asked me to tell them again, I'd have to curse them out.
"Come to think of it, Guburi and Yoho don't really need this, do you? You're always the first to enter anyway."
【Yoho】─There are emergencies, you know. Hehe.
【Reformed Guburi】─Fuck, I need it! Who do you take me for, some jobless loser who stares at a computer all day -_-
【Hottie Licker】─You're not?
【Reformed Guburi】─Actually, that's true.
"Idiot..."
【Reformed Guburi】─Then get me a job as your housekeeper lol
"But if it's like this, the limit is ten, but theoretically, it could go up to nineteen."
【Reformed Guburi】─He's ignoring me again, shit
【Se-hun Defense Force】─If you assume everyone here enters late by inputting the code, 19 people is possible lol
I wanted to lower the viewer count even more.
But that was impossible.
Ten people was the minimum.
‘Well, it should be fine. They were not like Yoho or Guburi, but the other existing viewers also come in fairly quickly.’
Now I decided to climb the mountain again.
Because I had rested enough.
I had pretended to communicate with them while stopped in place because my stamina had bottomed out, and thankfully no one noticed.
***
Only ten minutes had passed since I resumed hiking.
But I was already starting to get out of breath.
As expected, this body's stamina was garbage.
"Huff, hah..."
【Reformed Guburi】─Moaning ASMR, awesome!
【Plum Tree】─Recording.
【Reformed Guburi】─Crazy bastard.
【Dick Lover】─Your breathing is too lewd.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Dude's dying climbing a neighborhood hill lol
【Qkrnfl892】─Your stamina is seriously bad. It hasn't even been long since you started hiking. Get some exercise normally, Se-hun.
【Yoho】─Go after resting if it's too hard T_T
【Min-ji】─Your stamina seems really bad...
【Hottie Licker】─But the body is good lol lick.
【BigGirl】─It seems you've only done anaerobic exercise.
My pride was wounded.
Shit. My original stamina was good.
Enough to run up a neighborhood mountain like this.
‘...How little exercise had this guy really been doing? I felt like I was gonna throw up soon.’
My breathing was blocked as if I were having respiratory trouble.
It felt like my lungs were being torn apart.
Was I getting dizzy as well? My vision was blurring and my head was spinning.
‘Just a little, just a little more. I was almost there.’
My desire to give up because it was too hard was overwhelming.
But I couldn't give up.
‘Giving up twice would be pathetic. I had my pride...’
Today, I absolutely had to reach the summit.
Because yesterday I gave up midway and went back down.
I couldn't use the excuse again that I wasn't in the mood to hike because of a malicious viewer.
【Reformed Guburi】─No, he's seriously dying, dude? Gye Bastard-hun. Don't push yourself too hard.
【Hottie Licker】─Aren't his eyes unfocused?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─What's with his mental strength...
【Dick Lover】─I'm a little worried about this.
"Huff. Push myself, what's that. I'm perfectly fine, so don't worry. Huff. This is nothing."
【Yoho】─You're incredibly stubborn...
【Plum Tree】─First time seeing a guy this persistent. Wow.
【Qkrnfl892】─Just in case, I'd better put an ambulance driver on standby.
"Don't make a fuss. Huff. It's just because it's been a while since I hiked. In the old days, I'd summit and come back down in 3 minutes..."
【Reformed Guburi】─Is that a 3-minute curry?
【Min-ji】─3 minutes is a bit...
【Qkrnfl892】─Even armed airborne troops can't summit in 3 minutes...
【Dick Lover】─Don't talk nonsense and rest for a bit before you go. Please.
【Hottie Licker】─I wanna make a premature ejaculation joke, but I'll hold back. Don't get all competitive for nothing and take a break.
I wondered if they'd eaten something wrong.
They seemed overly worried compared to usual...
I glanced at the camera.
I could see my face being broadcast on the screen.
I looked like a walking corpse, no different from a zombie.
‘Shit... this was worth worrying about.’
My appearance was a mess.
My complexion was pale, and my whole body was drenched and sticky with sweat, enough to remind one of a water ghost.
"...I'm fine, but since you're all worried, I guess I'll rest a little before going."
It couldn't be helped.
I could endure it more than enough, but I decided to listen to the viewers just this once.
Since someone harboring anxiety might report me to emergency services.
I couldn't trouble firefighters for nothing.
"It's absolutely not because I'm tired and resting, so don't misunderstand."
Good. That was natural.
I kept my pride to the end.
【Reformed Guburi】─lol Idiot.
【Dick Lover】─Him protecting his pride is cute.
【Yoho】─Indeed haha
【Min-ji】─Haha...
It was just as I was about to sit on a nearby rock and rest like that.
Click!
The sound of a camera came from behind me.
What was it? Was there another hiker besides me?
I turned my head and saw one woman standing there holding her phone.
And the chat window was going crazy.
【Reformed Guburi】─??? What's that camera sound?
【Plum Tree】─Isn't that secretly filming?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Fucking shit, who's that bastard!
【Yoho】─Did they take a picture of you, streamer? I've heard there are a lot of perverts these days who take pictures of guys' backsides while hiking.
【Dick Lover】─What mountain is that?
After glancing sideways at the chat window, I looked at the woman again.
She had an extremely flustered expression.
