Chapter 55: Galactic TV (1)
Live streaming service.
For users from Earth, this was a familiar type of content.
Of course, even among Earth natives, there would be differences, but generally speaking, there was no one who had never watched a video before. And it was especially so for users familiar with communities; there would be no one who didn't know YouT*be.
ㄴTo think I'd see this in my lifetime....
ㄴwait, so I have to do this tier whatever sub shit even after coming to an otherworld?
ㄴHey, Oppas? You'll come watch if I start a channel, right?
ㄴfuck off, you catfish bitch.
ㄴso when is Keisha noonim coming?
ㄴKeu! It truly reminds me of home.
ㄴfr fr LOL it’d be perfect to watch with some fried chicken and canned beer.ㄴbut why is adult content blocked?
ㄴthe Oradge is surprisingly conservative ㅡㅡ
ㄴnah what isn’t this being blatantly conservative?
ㄴLOLOLOL be careful of what u say
ㄴOh, Earth, how I miss you....
While their reactions were indeed heated…
They couldn't compare to the reactions of the native Otherworlders.
-Wow....
-Is what's showing on the screen being transmitted in real-time?
-Uh... Chat? Real-time communication?
-How are we supposed to earn Points with this?
-We have to reveal our private lives?
-Isn't this something only jesters would do?
-Oh....
-How fascinating.
Especially for Otherworlders who had never entered the Premium Store and thus never seen the banner videos, the shock was even greater. For them, this was extremely stimulating content.
-Is what's moving now an actual living person?
-Is there a person inside that?
-Wow.... So that's what other worlds look like.
-It is quite different from us.
-I am envious.
-What a peaceful place.
-Young Lady. You are truly splendid.
-That doesn't look like a place I'd want to go to.
-Do such worlds really exist?
-I guess where I lived was heaven all along.
Every time new content was opened, not only did traffic increase, but users who had stopped visiting also returned. There were even people who looked forward to the Oradge's updates now.
And this event especially, unlike the previous Gacha Store update, received a lot of positive reviews.
It created a kind of flow where users could not only consume but also produce, and even exchange resources among themselves.
Moreover, in the case that their Otherworld a bit boring?
For users accustomed to the stimulating modern world, this was like a refreshing carbonated drink.
-kyah! Oradge for Congress!
-What a hardworking Oradge. I commend you.
-this is the shit!
-yeah this is what it’s all about. we need something like this to endure this shitty life, don’t we?
It was especially the case due to the format of this platform; since users autonomously produce content themselves, it was natural that there would be plenty to watch.
And the Oradge was raking in Karma Points through commissions from all of this.
The challenger who issued a challenge to such an Oradge, the first streamer 'TheLichIsRich'.
It was a broadcast titled [Is the Oradge Afraid of Me?].
"Oradge! Are you watching?!"
'TheLichIsRich' had become thoroughly annoyed at the Oradge for not showing any reaction, whether through messages or replies.
As such, he started his broadcast by issuing a challenge to the Oradge.
"The Oradge must undoubtedly be afraid of this one's growth."
ㄴwhy is lich talking like that? he’s speaking in honorifics to the oradge but he’s also referring to himself as this one'? LMAOOOO just pick one or the other.
ㄴseems like even he's confused about what concept he should go for LOLOL
ㄴmaybe he's nervous? LOLOLOL
ㄴLOL fr fr LOL
ㄴLOLOLOL
Other voices could be heard from beyond the screen.
-Lord Raymond, should I adjust the lighting like this?
-Hey! Vampire! Get out! You might melt under the lights!
-Could it be that Lord Raymond has been possessed? Or perhaps he has turned senile? Seeing how he is talking to himself in the air like that.
-Quiet! He's not that far gone yet.
-Hey, Gargoyle! Is this lighting right?
-Make it a bit brighter!
The light that had been shaking back and forth in the center of the screen, emitting a gloomy aura, focused on the skull.
Hwaaaaaaa-
With that, a halo was created.
"..."
ㄴeuk! it's blinding!
ㄴHAHAHHAA the fuck are they doing?
ㄴLOLOLOL
ㄴLMAO the lich, the oh so great one, is so extra.
ㄴahhh.... come to think of it, since he has no scalp... that means he’s one of the baldmen
ㄴLOL doesn’t his eyes seem to be trembling right now?
ㄴlooks like even he knows this is embarrassing JAJJAJAAJ
"Ahem! Hem!"
Raymond stamped his staff on the ground with a thud.
Then, blue lights came on from the ceiling, illuminating the surrounding laboratory.
ㄴoh shettt lol it looks like there's something there?
ㄴkyaahhhhhh HAHAHA are we getting a special glimpse into the oh so great lich’s collection?
ㄴwoah what are all those things in the back?
ㄴthere’s a shitton of expensive-looking stuff too LOLOL
ㄴIs it a lab? Or a warehouse?
Raymond barely calmed himself and continued the broadcast. Surely someone of his caliber would be under the Oradge's watch! He didn't know why there had been no reply until now, but he needed to newly imprint just how great and dangerous a figure he was.
"Oradge! Did you think I wouldn't know that you're refusing to communicate in order to keep me in check?!"
ㄴwhat is this guy yapping about? LOL
ㄴchunni mfer HAHAHAHA he think he’s him
ㄴLMAOOOO
ㄴnah just let him be LOL he's been like this for a while now HAHAHAH
"Huhu. Are you afraid? Of the fact that this Lich King Raymond is quickly catching up to you?"
The chat was filled with all sorts of mockery and insults towards Raymond, but he didn't budge. The wall protecting his self-esteem was as hard as diamond.
"However, this one shall not act aloof like you! I have created this occasion to prove that fact!"
ㄴoooooh lololol it’s the lich's big reveal! what tips will he give?
ㄴwill the oh so great lich teach us some magic?
ㄴsince he’s a lich he must have dabbled in some black magic.
ㄴnah this one’s an especially severe case lolol he probably tried dipping his hands into all sorts of magic theories i think?
ㄴseems like he must be bored LOL
"All Liches are great mages. No mage can match our mindset, having abandoned our physical bodies for magical research. We are of a different class from those withered husks."
Raymond's statement caused a flood of complaints from White Mage users in the chat, but he paid no heed to them.
"Huhu. This one has long been researching the items sold by the Oradge. I shall prove that they can be sufficiently implemented with magical techniques."
ㄴwhy do you even need to prove that?
ㄴcan't you just buy it with points?
ㄴlol the so-called rich oh so great lich has no points LMAOOO
ㄴnah so like… why is it even necessary to make it with magic?
ㄴwon't it just be an inferior version anyway? HAHHAAH
ㄴwahhhhhh, whatever, wahhh im the great lich wahhhh and it's great because it's made with magic! wahhhhHHHHH!!
ㄴlook at him gritting his teeth LMAOO he cant say shit
ㄴremember when he got roasted for not being able to make hair loss medicine? LOL that must have triggered him HAHAHAHAHHAH
"First, let's check the principles behind how the products sold in the Oradge's Store are made."
Raymond pulled out a [Reconnaissance Drone (R)] that he had barely managed to draw from the Gacha Store. It was Raymond's No. 1 treasure, polished to a shine.
Ahem. [Reconnaissance Drone (R)]! Everyone must be envious, no doubt.
ㄴah tf what’s this… i was hoping to learn some magic but he's just showing off something trivial as fuck…
ㄴhey lich. shouldn't you reveal things like 'Where do Liches hide their Life Vessels?' u know that’s what people want to see, right?
ㄴmfer has zero taste or tact.
ㄴah just teach us magic already.
"Gah! How dare you! Only the Oradge can insult me!"
Ding-
['I’mBuyingGenitals' has donated 1,000P.]
-gimme a strategy that can defeat a lich.
Pause-
What did I just see? Is someone asking the Lich King how to defeat a Lich?
"GAH!!! HOW DARE YOU?! All Liches are precious! As long as you do not provoke them first, they are beneficial beings quietly devoted to research in their dungeons!"
['I'mBuyingGenitals' has donated 10,000P.]
-so what's the strategy?
The number of donated Points increased by a digit.
"...Gah! How dare you! This one is not a scoundrel who would sell out his own ki-"
['I'mBuyingGenitals' has donated 100,000P.]
-strategy.
"...Ahem! I suppose Liches from other worlds cannot be considered my kin. While this world is under my control, other worlds are not... Hmm hmm."
Raymond had recently spent all his fortune in the Gacha Store to obtain research materials. As such, his eyes wavered.
['I'mBuyingGenitals' has donated 1,000,000P.]
-spill
1 million Points???
Anger filled Raymond's eyes.
"First, you need to understand the psychological characteristics of Liches. Those terribly calculating and safety-first Liches are truly vicious-"
It wasn't long before Raymond's broadcast title changed to [Lich King's Guide to Defeating Liches!].
Other Named Users also started broadcasts.
Starting from [Gacha Stream of 'JinNotGungjin'.]...
There were also videos sharing knowledge and information like [Swordsmanship Lessons from an Imperial Royal Guard]...
And…
['FlameYongYongie' Is your life tough, boring, and bland? 12 ways to provoke the Oradge without crossing the line.]
There was even a review of a field study performed by a Red Dragon. Extreme Sports? What’s that? The only Extreme Sports this Red Dragon knows is Extreme Extinction.
Of course, most users watched streams rather than making them.
And among them, there was a video that recorded overwhelming views.
It was none other than the Oradge's video.
