Chapter 3.1

Hyunwoo Lee pondered over the situation while rolling the mouse wheel.

'Which streamer should I approach? Shall we go back to Radi? Nah, let's avoid popular streamers. They are not greedy for money either.'

Since they earned money every day of every month, they would negotiate. However, since he held a much lower position than the streamers, it was only natural that negotiations would become difficult and break down.

'Let's see… why don't I check out the newbie streamers section?'

Hyunwoo Lee boldly scrolled down.

Even if he only scrolled down a little, the number of viewers went down drastically.

Among the many broadcasts on the screen, there was a word that caught Lee Hyun-woo's eye.

Nobleman: A word used to describe a person of high rank or position.

However, in Korea TV, it was used a little differently. It was a word that meant a special patron to the streamer- a passionate fan who would shoot a lot of coins.

And when he noticed that female streamers were looking for a nobleman, it meant that they were looking for a big shot who would give them a big coin gift because they didn't have as much passion in their stream to generate such gifts.

Lee Hyeon-woo was seeking a female streamer for a cash-back scheme whilst they were looking for a big shot to gift them a lot of coins.

'Wouldn't that be a perfect win-win relationship? '

Lee Hyun-woo chose the prettiest among the female streamers with the intent to have a nobleman join the stream in the title.

Bread · 27 viewers

Bread was a cutesy-style female streamer. If he had to describe her face in a word, it would be that of a puppy. Even considering the camera's inbuilt filters, she had very fair, milky-white skin.

[I-want-to-be-unemployed has joined the stream.]

Upon entering the broadcast, an announcement chat is written in the chat window. Such an announcement message would never be found in a major streamer's room.

It was a feature exclusive to a newbie's room.

"I-want-to-be-unemployed. Welcome!"

Bread smiles brightly and waves her hand at the camera, as if she were glad of the increased number of viewers.

'I wanted to try this at least once.'

Signing up as a big fan as soon as he entered. Since his reality was always bleak, it was only an imagination of his.

But now, he could make it a reality.

[I-want-to-be-unemployed presents 10,000 coins!]

[I-want-to-be-unemployed became the 891st fan club.]

[I want to be unemployed has become an avid fan.]

"Huh? Ah... ? Kyaaaaa!"

Bread screams of joy at the 1 million won sucker punch thrown without warning showing a surprised face full of happiness.

'This reaction…'

The female streamers displayed the coins they received as a gift on the transmission screen.

A ranking window displayed the nicknames of the person who gifted the coin, a coin sticker with the nickname and the number of gifts. Additionally, there was a progress bar that displayed the total amount of coins received in the day's broadcast, etc.

There were several ways to show off the coins they'd received on the day. The reason was to reward the person who gave the gift, and also to induce a sort of competitive spirit in the other big shots.

Anyway, one could see the coins that Bread received on the screen at a glance were mostly unchanging.

Until Lee Hyeon-woo entered.

The total number of coins received today was 4,503. Today's largest total sponsorship ranking 1st place was 1,852 coins.

The biggest sponsorship of the day was from Angel Bread (1,402), sponsoring her a signature coin worth 1402 coins.

The rest of the gifts were 100 to 300 small donations.

In this situation, a big support came in that suddenly changed the front seat and reshuffled the rankings.

Two days' worth of income came in at once, so it was only natural that Bread would scream in delight and be happy.

And the chat window, which had been calm, was also set on fire.

- My god! Crazy!

- That's my eldest brother!

- Bread finally got a big shot -Lol!

- Full bloom fan packs? Jajaja

27 viewers hit the chat talking only about Lee Hyun-woo. It was an exciting experience for him.

'This is why the big shots spend so much money on Korea TV.'

"Bae, Baeksu-nim [T/N: meaning Unemployed-nim]. Thank you! Thank you very much."

Bread got up from her seat and bowed her waist 90 degrees causing Lee Hyeon-woo to feel great satisfaction.

The feeling of being an absolute master.

'The streamer's gestures that I couldn't feel whilst I was still a broke bum. It's so good and thrilling.'

"Could you please chat with me? I want to give you a manager role in the stream. No, I won't give it to you if it makes you uncomfortable. Oh, and do you have any kind of reaction you want me to do? Is this your first broadcast? I can sing well, but I can't dance. If there is anything you want, I will do it."

Bread's attention was focused exclusively on Lee Hyeon-woo. Other chats kept coming up, but Bread didn't even bother to read their chats. She only tried to present herself for Lee Hyun-woo.

'Shall we start chatting now?'

1 Hello. You can give me the manager role. And please do a reaction that you do well.

Since it was the first chat he typed after his coin sponsorship, the eager woman read the chat.

"Ah! Yes! I'll give you a manager. Wait."

After Bread moved the mouse a few times on the screen, Lee Hyeon-woo's chat window changed slightly.

[A new manager chat area has been created.]

Unlike the chat that everyone can see and use, the manager chat was a chat window that only the streamer and the manager could use.

"Then let's start with the reaction. I will sing you a song. Is there a song you want?"

[I want to be an unemployed person presents 1,402 coins!]

1 Sing the song you like best.

"Ah, support again. Thank you! Then I will sing 'Only Look At You' by Se Ah if that's fine with you?"

Bread's song began. She had a soothing singing voice that was enough to be able to say that she could sing well at least.

Lee Hyeon-woo listened to her song happily.

A serenade exclusively for him- it was the first time he had experienced it in his life.

[I want to be an unemployed person presents 999 coins!]

– I heard you. You sing very well.

"Ahaha, support again. Thank you very much!"

Every time he typed in the chat, he didn't know that the corners of Bread's mouth would rise even further up to her ears as more sponsored coins rolled in.
