Chapter 16: Mission Success and Donor Surprises

It was one of those rare evenings where I got off work early and relaxed comfortably on my bed at home.

At exactly 8 PM, I logged into Twika TV, and Yuseong began streaming.

As expected, his stunning looks hadn’t changed a bit.

He seemed really tired earlier this morning, but now he looked fine.

That was a relief.

“I’ll be playing solo ranked games today, as indicated in the title.

Before that, is there anyone willing to send me a mission?”

What kind of mission should I propose?

Maybe a simple “Win the first game” challenge?

Let’s set the amount at 1 million won.

Considering it’s a gaming stream, that much should be enough to engage the viewers.

[Payment failed. You cannot make payments exceeding 20 million won within a 24-hour period.]

“Oh, it hasn’t been 24 hours yet.”

Now that I think about it, the payment limit is still in effect.

I’ll need to wait until at least midnight before I can spend money freely.

When exactly did I donate to Sara?

It was just past 9 PM, wasn’t it?

By then, I might be able to use up to 500,000 won… but whatever.

I’ll just make a big donation all at once at the end of the stream.

Explaining it bit by bit while sending small amounts midstream feels tedious and isn’t my style.

“Viewers, it seems you don’t understand—unless you send me a mission, I can’t start the game.”

Heh, is he blackmailing us?

Oh well, I didn’t want to resort to this method, but Yuseong’s stream today feels surprisingly short on missions.

Guess I’ll have to help him out.

“Yuseong, what are you doing?”

I stepped out into the hallway and knocked on the door to my brother’s room.

First, let’s send a mission using his account.

I’ll temporarily change the nickname to mine and make a donation of at least 200,000 won.

Just typing in chat feels a bit lame.

Goodness, what am I even doing?

I’ve completely fallen for Shin Yuseong.

It’s reached the point where I’m fully aware of how deeply he’s settled into my heart.

“Uh, who’s this?”

[I’m the person selling the house. Are you available to talk?]

It was as I suspected.

I’d thought there might be a call about this today, and my guess was correct.

I quickly muted my stream mic and continued the call.

“Yes, hello. Nice to meet you. What’s the reason for your call?”

[Come see the house tomorrow, around 2 PM. If you like it, we can finalize the contract right away.

My schedule is tight, so I have to move quickly.]

“Oh! Sure, I’ll prepare and head over once you send me the address via text.

Thank you!”

So they want me to check out the house tomorrow.

I didn’t expect things to move this fast.

Moonhwa must’ve pulled some strings.

Such a thoughtful person.

If the deal goes through, I’ll invite them over to my place and throw a big party to celebrate.

[You’re answering a call during the stream?]

[Back to basics, bro. ]

[Sounds like you were talking to your girlfriend.]

[Explain who you were talking to. ]

[What’s there to explain? Probably setting a date to hit a motel with his girlfriend. lol]

“Hey, I’m not anyone’s boyfriend here, so please stop prying into my private life.

I was on the phone with the homeowner Moonhwa introduced me to.

If all goes well, I might move tomorrow.”

[Huh?]

[Why’s everything moving so fast? ]

[Shin Yuseong, the guy who’s going to live in a luxury high-rise!]

[So jealous]

[Does that mean no stream tomorrow?]

I probably won’t be able to stream for at least a day.

My belongings are minimal, so there’s not much to pack.

However, I’m not sure how well-stocked the new place will be with daily essentials.

I’ll need time to prepare.

“I might not stream for a few days.

I’ll post a notice later,” I said, explaining my situation to the viewers before refocusing on the game.

For now, I needed to focus on the stream and think about the house later.

[You have slain an enemy.]

[Dominating!]

Once again, I killed Malzahar in the mid-lane.

With the item gap already significant, there was no room for fair exchanges.

Malzahar’s health had dropped to below half, forcing him to play defensively under the turret, using skills to farm minions.

But of course, I wasn’t someone who would simply let him get away with that.

I chained all my skills together and sent him back to his fountain once more.

With the mid-lane matchup effectively over, it was time to assist the top lane.

I needed to weaken the enemy duo’s momentum early on to increase the likelihood of them surrendering sooner.

[Jax: Aleph, stop farming and come gank!]

[Aleph: Okay, on my way.]

[LeBlanc: Aleph, wait up. I’ll join you. Let’s go together.]

[Aleph: Got it. But I think there’s a ward; Camille’s retreating toward the turret.]

[LeBlanc: Doesn’t matter. We can overpower her with damage.]

What’s Jax’s deal now, and why is Aleph calling for backup?

Instead of focusing on recovering from the jungle steal, they’re complaining about their lane struggles.

Then again, this might work out.

If all three of us gang up on Camille and take her down, it’s not a bad outcome.

It’ll speed up my item buildup.

Let’s turn this into an opportunity.

LeBlanc and Aleph joined me in the top lane, pushing the wave toward the turret and preparing to dive.

[Jax: Hey! Stop taking my CS!]

[LeBlanc: Let’s dive, and I’ll give you the kill.]

Jax kept spamming pings, urging us to retreat.

This is why I can’t stand top laners.

They’re all insane.

Is a few more minions really more important than the bigger picture?

I coaxed him by promising to give him the kill, and he finally quieted down.

[LeBlanc: Aleph, tank the turret shots. Pull back immediately if you’re about to die.]

We pushed the minion wave under the enemy turret.

Aleph charged forward, followed closely by Jax, who used his leap skill.

Camille responded with her E skill, Hookshot, retreating far back.

Good for us.

If she’d decided to fight recklessly, it would’ve been a headache.

Her confidence in escaping unscathed led her to make a defensive play.

However, she couldn’t escape LeBlanc’s grasp.

I chased her down, landed a skill combo, and snared her with chains.

Rooted in place, Camille had no choice but to stand still as the three of us pounded away at her.

She fell helplessly.

[The enemy has been defeated.]

[Chaks: What’s up, why didn’t you back off? You said you’d give me the kill.]

[Roblang: I’m sorry. I’ll definitely give you the kill next time.]

Would you want to give it to him?

He can’t even play the game properly, and yet he’s all talk.

It’s really pathetic.

Sigh.

Aleph was right to step in.

Even True O, the duo partner, was stopped and was jungling, but when he called for help, Aleph immediately came for the gank.

Of course, in a normal situation, True O’s judgment would be correct.

But because I was here, Aleph ultimately made the best call.

“I’ve got 4 kills. The proxy duo doesn’t mean anything, right? I’ll finish the game in under 20 minutes.”

[Just too good lol]

[Everywhere I go, there’s a kill ]

[Hasn’t made a single mistake; what kind of machine is this? Champion pool is ridiculously wide and deep.]

[No crisis at all, huh? I won’t take on any missions moving forward.]

[LoL is a game where 10 people start, and Shin Yooseong wins.]

I recall and purchase items.

The Storm of Ruden is completed.

The gap between me and the enemy champions has widened massively.

Now, the game’s victory is assured.

The only question is how fast we finish it.

I’ve been running around hard, blowing up the game.

Is there any other way?

How should I proceed?

I checked the minimap and game time and mentally pictured the best-case scenario.

[Victory.]

“Wow! Did you see that? 19-minute surrender. Moonhwa’s mission success!”

Honestly, it was close. The enemy proxy duo kept dragging the game out, so it wasn’t easy to finish quickly.

Fortunately, we won a huge team fight over the dragon, and the enemies lost their will to fight and surrendered.

[SureChing3 has donated 20,000 KRW.]

[Thought it would be tough, but haha, we won in the end]

[Gyt98 has donated 30,000 KRW.]

[Completed the first game’s 10-kill mission , You’re really good.]

“Another easy win, right? I’ll show you more fun games moving forward. Oh! TwoBoomi, thank you for the 50,000 KRW donation.”

After winning the game, mission success donations started rolling in.

This is the joy of being a streamer.

When I deliver results, compliments and rewards follow.

It’s so sweet, so sweet.

At this moment, life feels truly sweet.

[[God] RecklessOfficeWorker: I’m currently restricted from making payments, so I’ll donate after midnight.]

Ah, that’s what it was.

Right, the payment restriction hadn’t been lifted yet.

I checked and confirmed that it was true.

The ID of the person who set the mission earlier, Moonhwa, was different from before.

No wonder I hadn’t seen any updates from Moonhwa yet.

“Okay, I understand.

If it’s Moonhwa, I can trust that credit is okay.

This is the person who has donated so much, and has even helped me look for a place.

Again, I’ll say it, thank you so much.”

Mission skips do happen on streaming platforms.

It’s a mental blow and can mess with the stream’s flow.

So when a huge mission donation is made, I often check how much the person has donated in the past.

But this only applies to viewers with unfamiliar usernames.

If it’s Moonhwa, there’s no need to worry.

He’s a fully recognized figure on Twika TV.

I have no concerns.

Looking at it from another angle, I received a lot, so it’s all good.

If I show any dissatisfaction, that would be ungrateful.

I’ll ask later with a smile.

Maybe I should’ve started the stream later?

I’ll have to be careful about this part in the future.

[At least, I’m sure the stream will go until midnight! lol]

“It’s noisy.

I was planning to stream late anyway.”

The comment hit the mark.

I tried to deny it and started the next game.

+++

[Breaking News] Moonhwa makes his first-ever credit donation lol

This is crazy lol

Even though he’s in a payment restriction state, I’ve never seen him act like this before lol

Is he really into Shin Yooseong?

[Oo, I’ve seen it all, Moonhwa taking credit for donations lol]

[This never happened when WheelNine was streaming, right?]

[His attendance is different.

He watches every stream where Yooseong is present.]

[At this point, I think he’s serious?

Is he going to do something about it?]

[Moonhwa has always been so open about his feelings lol]

[No, leave Yooseong alone!]

[If I were Moonhwa, I’d be all over him too.]

[A rival has appeared lol

Gotta get more points while he’s not around lol]

[Moonhwa has it all, but still going after this one guy, man lol]

+++

[[God] RecklessOfficeWorker has donated 3,000,000 KRW.]

[Thank you for the hard work.

I added extra for the mission fee tonight.~^-^]

“Wow! Moonhwa, thank you for the 300,000 KRW.

I really don’t know how to repay this kindness.

Thank you so much!”

[Resurrection] Moonhwa

[Seal Broken lol]

[He must’ve been waiting for this moment to spend lol]

[Here comes the crazy spending lol]

The last game ended.

Moonhwa, who had been waiting, immediately sent the donation.

He added three times the amount we agreed on.

At first, I was just happy, but as time went on, the pressure started to build.

Before I could feel the pride of being a streamer, the amount was just too big.

I want to give something back, but I can’t think of a good way.

I have to maintain the line between the streamer and the viewer, but I can’t figure out what to do.

“I’m ending the stream for today.

I’ll post an update by tomorrow.”

[Look at him leaving immediately after receiving the donation lol] Donation

[That’s harsh lol]

[Haha]

[It was fun today too lol]

[Money junkie]

I said goodbye to the viewers and ended the stream.

Hmm… Should I make an offer now?

When you think of something, you have to act on it right away.

The longer you wait, the harder it is to bring up difficult things.

I sent a message to Moonhwa.

[Moonhwa, I have something to talk about. Do you have time?]
