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.
?To think I'd see this in my lifetime....
?wait, so I have to do this tier whatever sub shit even after coming to an otherworld?
?Hey, Oppas? You'll come watch if I start a channel, right?
?fuck off, you catfish bitch.
?so when is Keisha noonim coming?
?Keu! It truly reminds me of home.
?fr fr LOL it’d be perfect to watch with some fried chicken and canned beer.?but why is adult content blocked?
?the Oradge is surprisingly conservative ??
?nah what isn’t this being blatantly conservative?
?LOLOLOL be careful of what u say
?Oh, 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."
?why 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.
?seems like even he's confused about what concept he should go for LOLOL
?maybe he's nervous? LOLOLOL
?LOL fr fr LOL
?LOLOLOL
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.
"..."
?euk! it's blinding!
?HAHAHHAA the fuck are they doing?
?LOLOLOL
?LMAO the lich, the oh so great one, is so extra.
?ahhh.... come to think of it, since he has no scalp... that means he’s one of the baldmen
?LOL doesn’t his eyes seem to be trembling right now?
?looks 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.
?oh shettt lol it looks like there's something there?
?kyaahhhhhh HAHAHA are we getting a special glimpse into the oh so great lich’s collection?
?woah what are all those things in the back?
?there’s a shitton of expensive-looking stuff too LOLOL
?Is 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?!"
?what is this guy yapping about? LOL
?chunni mfer HAHAHAHA he think he’s him
?LMAOOOO
?nah 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!"
?oooooh lololol it’s the lich's big reveal! what tips will he give?
?will the oh so great lich teach us some magic?
?since he’s a lich he must have dabbled in some black magic.
?nah this one’s an especially severe case lolol he probably tried dipping his hands into all sorts of magic theories i think?
?seems 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."
?why do you even need to prove that?
?can't you just buy it with points?
?lol the so-called rich oh so great lich has no points LMAOOO
?nah so like… why is it even necessary to make it with magic?
?won't it just be an inferior version anyway? HAHHAAH
?wahhhhhh, whatever, wahhh im the great lich wahhhh and it's great because it's made with magic! wahhhhHHHHH!!
?look at him gritting his teeth LMAOO he cant say shit
?remember 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.
?ah tf what’s this… i was hoping to learn some magic but he's just showing off something trivial as fuck…
?hey lich. shouldn't you reveal things like 'Where do Liches hide their Life Vessels?' u know that’s what people want to see, right?
?mfer has zero taste or tact.
?ah 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 /genesisforsaken
