Chapter 19.1

Meanwhile, while Lee Hyeon-woo was messing around in Spring and Summer's room, a war had broken out in Darling's stream.

Within 5 minutes of starting the stream, her viewership exceeded 200 participants, which was already the average number of viewers per day.

And that number had steadily increased over time.

558. 1,136. 1,597. 2,194.

It was a testament to the evil thirst for gossip about incidents and accidents viewers of Korea TV had.

Exposed!

A huge swathe of gossipmongers was drawn to Darling's stream who brought all this attention to herself.

And in the meantime, to prevent all the gossip…

[Unemployed! Please join my room! I'm Calm, I'm Calm, I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm Calm, I'm Calm, I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm Calm, I'm Calm, I'm Calm, I'm calm…]

Darling · 2,194 viewers

This is what she did.

This was tantamount to publicising her aspirations of attracting all the gossip mongers.

There were now 20 times more floating viewers than there were live viewers.

It was now impossible to suppress the floating viewers' chat with the live chat's firepower.

-Tell us!

-Look how many people we've got today!

-Explain the rumour!

-I heard rumours and came here ^^7

-You said you had something to reveal?

-Explain

-Wow there are too many of them!!

-(Chatcon of monkey eating popcorn waiting for entertainment)

-Oh, I guess I'm going to hate today's stream.

-What did you mean when you said you would expose Unemployed?

This was the picture of a chat that was different from the norm.

It was like a booming electric girl.

"Stop it. I have nothing to say about any exposure, so get out!"

She was not at all happy that there were a lot more viewers or that the coins would come in 7 at a time.

They weren't there to please her.

This had Darling quacking nervously.

But if they were the kind of people who would freak out and back out, they wouldn't have entered Darling's room.

The evil fellows were rather more amused while watching the angry duckling.

The conversational intensity became even stronger.

-Haha

-The boss's personality is too funny haha

-As expected of THE Darling

-No no, if you just explain it, I'll leave haha

-Explain yourself

-What is with all these people??

"All of you fuck off! Buggers! Don't mess around here! Get out of here!"

Eventually, Darling's growing anger exploded.

She screamed and breathed heavily in anger.

However, her excited appearance made her an even better prey for the evil masses.

-Ignore us buggers haha

-Explain!

-You mean you only need big shots here haha?

-You bad bastards, get out of here, don't ruin the atmosphere of our room.

-There's too many!?

-As expected of the symbol of incidents, god darling!

-Lol

– Yesterday, I came here because I was curious about what you meant by exposing someone. Please tell us.

-I've paid the viewing fee. Can you not ask me to leave now?

-Lol

-Whaaat? Do you have to pay a viewing fee?

-Do you accept crypto?

[Gangseon Bit gifts 7 (AD) coins!]

[Gang-seon became the 401,436th fan club member.]

-Wow! Crypto! Escape the matrix!

-Lol

-Lol

-cryptooo! Escape! Lol

– ᄀᄋᄋ I also mined some crypto

These were people taking the mick out of Darling.

They were vicious fluff who clearly showed what it meant to annoy people with their money.

They use 700 won to just make fun of a streamer and spew evil.

[[Ring] Beadung gifts 100 coins!]

-Darling, let's freeze the chat window for now, and weed out all these little ants at once.

One of the more passionate fans stepped into the rescue.

It was the exact words Darling had been waiting for.

Strange as her mental state may have been, Darling was a bonafide streamer in her 10th year.

She had to keep entertaining the evil viewers.

She knew too well that it'd be a detriment to her stream even further otherwise.

[Darling has frozen the chat window.]

This was the chat window freeze function.

This was one of the features that streamers could use when there is too much aggro against the streamer or especially bad filters had joined the stream.

At this time, the authority to chat would be divided by financial grade.

Darling has set it so that only avid fans and above could still chat.

Then, the chat window was cleared at once.

But she had still left a way out for the villains.

[expose the Person gifts 1 (AD) coin!]

[Expose the Person became the 401,437th fan club member]

[Release the Secret gifts 1 coin!]

[Release the Secret became the 401,438th fan club member.]

[You just need to explain gifts 1 coin!]

[You just need to explain became the 401,439th fan club member]

Coin sponsorships on Korea TV could not be stopped no matter the circumstances.

Even if the chat window was frozen, the coin sponsorship messages would appear in the chat window and could be seen by the streamers.

And using the free nickname change available, the villains could chat while gifting a coin at a time.

"Regulars of my room. Sorry. I'll be gone for a while."

Darling decidedly took her flight.

An advertisement popped up on the transmission screen and replaced her spot on the screen.

This was called 'ant shedding'.

This meant that when an undesirable flow of viewers join the room, the streamer could keep running ads to shake off the number of floating viewers.
