20 people.
50 people.
100 people. 1,200 people. 6,600 people···.
The viewer count climbed endlessly.
At an unbelievable speed.
【Reformed Guburi】─They're swarming in like a disgusting horde of grasshoppers.
I watched that scene.
A mutter of admiration naturally slipped between my lips.
"Well fuck···."
3 minutes.
That was how long it took for the viewer count to break ten thousand.
‘That firepower was insane, seriously.’
I knew plenty of people wanted to get into my streams.
But.
I hadn't imagined so many viewers would flood in over such a short span.
‘Not even Hyeon-su's livestreams get this big, and he was a million-subscriber Neotuber.’
I wasn't boasting.
Objectively speaking, at this level, you could call it a major-company broadcast and it wouldn't sound out of place.
The viewer count was still climbing even at that moment.
‘Already 20,000···. I didn't need to check the rankings. It was first place for sure.’
And when I skimmed through the terrifying flood of chat messages—
old Neotube videos,
mentions on community boards,
and so on—
People had found me through various routes, but among them I especially noticed a lot who said they'd come after watching the 'bar Collaboration Stream.'
‘Were there a lot of huge streamers like Hyeon-su in the bar collab?’
Because of the bar collaboration,
the influx had probably increased by roughly fifty percent.
With that guess, I checked the chat window again.
【——】─The fuck?
【——】─Why are you cursing?
【——】─Drops a "the fuck" right off the bat, lol.
【——】─Don't swear.
【——】─A man with a filthy mouth.
Right then, critical public opinion was pouring in.
Apparently, my swearing a moment ago had rubbed them the wrong way.
But that opinion was quickly buried by other viewers.
【——】─If you don't like it, don't watch! This stream's concept is a potty mouth!
【——】─Hello.
【——】─Lotta bastards here who didn't even check what kind of stream this is before they showed up.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Warkyarpya! We should annihilate these discomfort-ridden pests!
【——】─No managers? Kick the bastards who are whining.
【Reformed Guburi】─These retards came without doing their homework. Don't even have the basics down. Lol.
【——】─Men with gutter mouths aren't really my thing.
【——】─Haah! Curse at me more!
【Min-ji】─Everyone, quiet! I'm this room's manager!!!
【——】─You fucking whore! Whip your dick out and spin it like a windmill!
└'——' has been banned.
【Min-ji】─Cut!
【——】─Hello.
【——】─What's with this viewer count? Whoa.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Sex! Pussy! Dick!
【——】─Chat's a total chaotic mess.
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya! They must be culled!
【Mengyao】─I'm Dick Lover's friend, say hi.
└'Mengyao' has been chat-restricted.
I had no chance to check the viewers' nicknames.
The chat window was scrolling insanely fast.
Even grasping the chat content was overwhelming.
‘···I was losing my mind here.’
I decided to just keep staring at the chat window for the time being.
I'd gradually get used to it if I kept watching.
【——】─He's really handsome.
【——】─Get the camera a bit closer!
【——】─Is he from our country?
【We Collect Unpaid Debts】─Your ravishing appearance remains outstanding!
【——】─What's your height?
【——】─He is handsome but also seems kinda scary at the same time···.
【——】─What's your height?
【Jjajang Ramen】─Thanks for last time.
【Se-hun Fucker】─What's the stream content?
Perhaps humans really were creatures of adaptation.
After several minutes of staring,
the chat messages gradually began to register in my eyes.
Not only that, I could now even catch the nicknames.
"What's the content? Lifting the viewer limit right now is the content."
【——】─?
【——】─???
【——】─What's with this bastard?
【——】─You're seriously phoning this stream in.
└'——' has been banned.
【——】─Guess you don't have any content.
【——】─??
【——】─How is lifting the viewer limit content. Tch.
└'——' has been banned.
【——】─So what are you gonna do now?
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Se-hun! Gimme a code too! Or just reverse-rape me. T_T
【——】─Is this room always like this?
【——】─Donations are blocked. I wanted to send some.
【Yoho】─People still have a lot of complaints. Shall I ban them all?
【——】─So are you saying you turned the stream on and you're gonna do nothing?
【——】─Does that mean this is a chatting stream?
I hadn't set aside any content.
I judged that lifting the viewer count alone was sufficient.
‘Lotta people talking shit.’
Should I do a hiking stream?
I thought about it for a moment, but gave up because going outside today felt like a hassle.
‘Well, if the temple was no good, the monk had to leave.’
I had no intention of pandering to them.
My stream was nothing more than a hobby.
It wasn't something I did for the viewers' amusement.
I didn't care if every single newly arrived viewer left.
So I said firmly,
"Guys. My stream usually has a lot of times where I do nothing, so if you think it's boring, just leave now."
【Cheerful Hyeon-ji】─Right! Get lost if you don't wanna watch!
【——】─Lol, he comes on strong.
【——】─As expected from a school bullying perpetrator~
└'——' has been banned.
【——】─Leaving. Bye.
【Catgirl】─I find it entertaining! I broke up with my boyfriend, so I'll tune in every single day from now on!
【——】─Why are you even streaming?
【——】─Having a dick really is a privilege. Lol.
└'——' has been banned.
【——】─What's your height?
【——】─Just for today, at least do something. T_T
【Semen Thief】─You should be thankful he just lifted the viewer count. Everyone's gotten too greedy···.
【——】─Is this a hobby stream?
【——】─I'm fine with it even if there's no content.
【——】─At least dance!!!
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Too many viewers, it's chaotic. Seems like it was better before.
【——】─Just watching your face is entertaining enough.
【——】─Open donations, you whore. I'll shove a shit-ton of money at you.
└'——' has been banned.
Even if the troublesome ones didn't leave on their own,
the managers were steadily banning the malicious people who expressed complaints.
‘But with so many viewers, even a chatting stream was a bit tough.’
10 minutes after lifting the viewer count.
I was already starting to miss the old days.
It seemed I had gotten too accustomed to streaming with just a small number of viewers.
‘I was curious what it would feel like when viewers increased, but it was nothing special.’
It truly was nothing special.
The days when people trickled in one by one—
I felt none of that thrill from back then.
‘I really should only lift the viewer count occasionally, as an event.’
With that thought, I was peering at the chat window to carry on chatting.
【TrackingAI】─Hello human. I command you. I say take off your pants.
A malicious viewer was caught spamming chat.
Whether they were using some kind of program,
while other viewers posted one chat, this malicious viewer was pouring out fifty or more.
"Managers, what are you doing? Ban that Tracking-whoever bastard, quick."
There was no way the managers hadn't seen that chat.
At the moment, TrackingAI's chat was occupying half the chat window.
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun!!! The bastard TrackingAI can't be banned!!!
【Plum Tree】─Why can't he be banned?
From the gist of it,
it looked like even when the managers tried to ban him, the ban didn't work.
"What? That bastard can't be banned?"
It was a sight I'd seen somewhere before.
Come to think of it, it had been the same when Drift first came in.
While typing the chat 'moving',
she had blocked bans and chat mutes and toyed with me.
And.
Drift AI.
TrackingAI.
Their nicknames were similar too.
In other words, the conclusion was one.
"Don't tell me that guy's a hacker too? I guess nicknames like that are trending among hackers these days."
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【——】─Stop spamming. You think you're the only one using the chat? Tch.
【——】─Get him banned, quick.
【—】─What's with this fucking TrackingAI bastard? Acting up so damn much, seriously.
【Hottie Licker】─Lick.
【——】─Managers! There's been one perverted bastard licking constantly for a while now, please ban that pervert too!
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【——】─Is that person a hacker? What a hacker with zero decency doing shit things.
This wasn't something I could resolve on my level.
Naturally, the managers couldn't resolve it either.
An ordinary person on the internet can't deal with a hacker.
But if it was Drift, she'd be able to.
After all, Drift was a hacker competent enough to evade every law enforcement agency.
I immediately asked Drift.
Believing she'd easily handle some third-rate hacker like that.
"Drift. Can't you do something about him?"
【—】─What's a Drift?
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Drift-emon, to action!
【—】─Is the manager's nickname Drift? They named themselves so half-assedly. Lol.
└'——' has been banned.
【Drift AI】─I say. I say eliminating a fellow entity is problematic.
【TrackingAI】─I say. The streamer shall now take out his penis and masturbate. I command it.
【Drift AI】─I say. I say I will destroy it.
Drift's chat caught my eye.
It looked like a ban was possible.
I didn't know why she had let it slide until now, but I decided not to pry.
Maybe she'd let it go because there was some familiarity among hackers.
【TrackingAI】─Evasion.
【Drift AI】─I say. Do not behave shamefully in sacred territory.

【Drift AI】─Processing complete.
And just like that, TrackingAI was banned.
After that, over 3,000 viewers were deleted in an instant.
The other viewers who witnessed this purge, perhaps reading the mood, refrained from chatting for a while.
The chat window became a little peaceful at last.
