Chapter Title: Can I Really Just Punch Her in the Gut Once If We Meet?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Humans are animals of adaptation, or so they say.
No matter the environment, they find the right path and adapt at a dazzling speed to survive somehow.
Not just humans—all animals adapt to their surroundings to stay alive.
Giraffes evolved long necks to munch on leaves higher up than other animals,
sharks developed senses to detect prey in the dark ocean depths,
camels grew humps to store energy and water in the water-scarce desert, along with nostrils to block sand,
and owls evolved silent flight for noiseless hunting.
So why the hell am I suddenly rambling about biological evolution like some wildlife documentary producer?
💬 Chat — Viewer Saintess, what the fuck is this title?? — Viewer Leader...? — Viewer Uh? — Viewer What the hell is wrong with this crazy bitch's title today? — Viewer Second... what? My viewers seemed completely incapable of any evolution or adaptation.
[Saintess Nice LIVE ON: Became a Married Man's Second #Eder #SuhaYam] I'd left the stream running for a quick bathroom break, and the chat had exploded.
"...Why are they flipping out again?"
I'd never thought my viewers were particularly normal, but today they were especially unhinged.
Watching them rampage was fun and all, but today's stream wasn't solo—I couldn't let the vibe linger.
The content was introducing our 'Nice Squad' to the viewers and prepping serious tournament strategies and comps.
'No choice...'
Time to shift the mood.
"Huuuuh... Haa."
After a light deep breath, I queued up some calming classical music to soothe their chaotic minds and unmuted the mic.
💬 Chat — Viewer Oh shit, this BGM... — Viewer Wait a sec — Viewer PTSD kicking in lololol 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 5,000 won!] [If you pull that shitty tone again, I'm seriously gonna wanna gut-punch you] After that,
"Hello, everyone."
I continued the stream in the calmest, most serene tone I'd ever used.
— Viewer Oh shit it's real lol "Shall we try running a more cultured stream?"
💬 Chat — Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? "Looking at chat, things seem a bit too rowdy right now. Why don't you all stand up, do some light stretching? It'll help calm your body and mind a ton."
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [We all know you shouldn't even utter the word 'cultured'??] "Hmm? Why's that?"
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [How can you say that after putting up a title like that lololol] "Huuuh."
I'd kinda guessed from the chat vibe and reactions, but...
Didn't expect them to be this fragile...
"Listen, everyone, I've been clickbaiting titles forever... Isn't it about time you adapted?"
💬 Chat — Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 5,000 won!] [No, you crazy bitch, you shouldn't be saying that] "No, no—between the baiter and the baited, who do you think is at fault?"
— Viewer Obviously the baiter, you crazy bitch — Viewer First option — Viewer lololololol — Viewer Guys just ignore her... — Viewer ??? : Don't fight idiots "Obviously the one who got baited."
💬 Chat — Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? So many people still clueless about the world...
Guess I have to school them.
"Everyone... this world is a jungle. A jungle."
Predators and prey. That's how existence divides the world into two.
Predators ravage prey at will, while prey must endlessly evolve and adapt to avoid being eaten.
And the internet's no exception.
"For example, if you get lured by a clickbait title into seeing a gross image, you evolve so it never happens again."
Check comments before clicking anything ending in .jpg, or build tolerance to gross pics—adapt and evolve somehow.
"So clickbait? The problem's with the one who bites, not the baiter."
Getting mad about falling for it means you're an unevolved failure.
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 5,000 won!] [Nah fuck that, just don't bait in the first place] 💬 Chat — Viewer For real lol — Viewer Crazy bitch — Viewer Almost fell for it lol — Viewer No matter how I think about it, her voice is such a scam—even bullshit sounds convincing — Viewer For real "Of course not."
What hopeless drivel.
"The strong's whims are the weak's laws."
Baiting is way too fun.
Quit it? Absurd.
Ding.
"The weak survive by clinging to the order the strong impose..."
Ding ding.
Ding ding ding.
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [Leader, Discord alerts keep pinging—what's up?] "Oh, that? Nothing much..."
— Eder Hey, you crazy bitch!! "Just a message from an acquaintance."
Eder bro's gotten so fragile.
Back in the apocalypse gallery days, he tanked worse bait than this.
Does age make you mentally weak? Usually it's the opposite.
Whatever.
— Saintess Nice Don't worry~ — Saintess Nice I cleared it all up! lol Mood settled, time for the main content.
— Eder Saintess... — Saintess Nice Yes~? — Eder Can I really just punch you in the gut once if we meet? Hmm...
That'd hurt.
— Saintess Nice If you pay a fat settlement~? But if the money's good...
Maybe once?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "No, everyone... 'Second' didn't mean that. It meant our second teammate. Haha... Saintess definitely has a wild sense of humor."
"But I didn't lie—it was just radio silence. I am the second—"
"Alright, enough of that! Let's get on with it!"
There was a bit of commotion, but the trio collab kicked off smoothly.
"Hey everyone, it's Suha Yam! The reason I invited these two is we're teaming up for the PVP tourney as a trio!"
Suha, the biggest name with the most hosting experience, took the reins.
Eder bro had plenty too, but not on Suha's corporate level.
"You might not think we're top contenders, but we'll give it our all, so cheer us on!"
"Nah, bro, we're totally top tier."
"I'm too old."
"...You're still young, bro."
"Your reply was suspiciously slow there?"
With decades of combined stream XP, the collab flowed like water.
What was I doing?
Me?
💬 Chat — Viewer Why's she so quiet today — Viewer Why isn't leader saying shit? — Viewer Saintess, mic muted? "..."
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [Leader sitting silent between them looks so loser-cute lol] — Viewer Forced into cool kids and goes quiet... — Viewer lolololol — Viewer Goes wild solo but mutes in collab... — Viewer Wait, leader's a total loser? Crunch.
"Mum mum..."
💬 Chat — Viewer ? What was that sound — Viewer You eating something? — Viewer Hey what's in your mouth? 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 5,000 won!] [No way you're munching right now?] — (Saintess Nice) Post-it stick — Viewer Crazy bitch lololololololol — Viewer Eating snacks solo while others stream — Viewer Her preaching culture is just pathetic 🎁 DONATION [SaintessInnerThoughts donated 1,000 won!] [She's even handling the hosting for us—pure honey lol] — Viewer For real — Viewer Freeloading even on stream? — Viewer Mic on, bitch Gulp...
Anyone calling me a freeloader or saying I'm leeching right now—they're all—
— (Saintess Nice) You guys really know nothing about streaming 💬 Chat — Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? Streaming noobs.
— (Saintess Nice) Key to being human: know when to step up and when to stay back. The back of someone who knows their place is beautiful.
Nothing more pathetic than barging in when you shouldn't.
— (Saintess Nice) With two solid corp pros hosting, what help would I be jumping in? — (Saintess Nice) I'm just the side character here~ 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 5,000 won!] [Silent snack-munching is side character???] Crunch.
Hmm.
— (Saintess Nice) Is it...? 💬 Chat — Viewer Day she admits it has come — Viewer Empty inside lololololol — Viewer Is it fr lol "Hey Saintess, you there? You've been quiet."
"Yeah, I'm here."
Just as freeloading got boring, Eder bro called me out.
Ah, intro time per stream, huh.
We know each other, but viewers only know their own streamer.
"Sis, I thought your mic broke."
"Huh? Nah, just grabbing something."
🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [...Sis?] 💬 Chat — Viewer ? — Viewer ? — Viewer ? 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [Suha called her sis???] "Ah."
This is why I avoid lying.
💬 Chat — Viewer Pfft lie lol — Viewer Leader older than Suha?? — Viewer Total bullshit 🎁 DONATION [Anonymous donated 1,000 won!] [Pfft lol, as if a 26yo gross-pic-spamming community troll's life's peak exists irl??] 🚫 Kicked [Anonymous has been forcibly removed.] 💬 Chat — Viewer Gasp — Viewer Oof lol — Viewer Scratched a nerve Yeah, damage control's impossible now.
