Chapter 4: Oh, Happy Day! (4)
F.
Well, I did expect this. An internet community is basically the lowest and most chaotic of all communication methods. And with the world in this state after the Great Disaster, the anonymity of this society makes this platform an even bigger monster.
And streaming meant that I needed to face that big disgusting monster head-on.
- Jokass : LOLLLLLLLLLL
- Noru_is_druig : LMAOOOOOO
- Speedwagon : I thought I persuaded you out of it.
- professor : Situation changed.
- Highwaynachoman : LOLLLLLLL
After I announced that I would start streaming, regardless of the bizarre safety concerns, the chatroom was in a frenzy again. It is understandable since
- Soygaybar : Lmaooooo, young one, life never goes the way you want it to~
- Noru_is_druig : Its more interesting that way though
- Soygaybar : Did you check the stuff and money? I know Im crazy, but I keep my end of the deal. Im not gonna go easy on you so be prepared LMAO
I was glad I found a sponsor quicker than I expected, and I was glad that it was someone I knew from the chatroom.
But why did it have to be Soygaybar? He has been a verified psycho for the last 7 years! Pure evil! Statistics say that 100 out of 100 people think hes bad news. And I need to sign an RP contract with him!
I already felt like going lol jk and going out to the wastelands to look for scraps, but the red jerry can sitting next to me was a sign that I couldnt back out anymore.
- Speedwagon : That was really quick though.
- Soygaybar : Im rich. I couldnt just bear to see someone die because they didnt have a single can of gasoline.
- Jokass : Stop pretending youre normal you psycho
- Highwaynochoman : Stop pretending youre human you mutant
And thats what happened. After my sudden announcement, I calmed the chat down by explaining that My generator died. Im not thinking of joining a faction, and I cant use the other generator without gasoline, which was immediately replied with Oh, do you want the rest of the money as gasoline then? and eight hours later, there was a can of gasoline in front of me.
Were saved!! Were saved now, Master! Electricity! Oh goodness, the holy electricity has come back to us!!!!!
Youre saved. Not me.
Aw~ Dont be so tenseee. Theyre still an acquaintance. How bad could it be?
Its because hes an acquaintance that Im more nervous.
Itd be a lie if I said I didnt have a little bit of hope. He does texts that way, but maybe hes actually a decent person. We havent seen each other, but maybe the 7 years of friendship we had will let me off the hook! I hope its like that.
- Soygaybar : Hmm. It was about 700 thousand including the gasoline, so 3~4 traits sounds about right.
- professor : Mhm
- Soygaybar : Legendary Stench, Exhibitionism Addict, Unique Diet : Garbage, Habitual Barfing
- professor : Im going to nuke your shelter.
Of course, that hope was shattered to pieces in an instant.
- Jokass : You are..
- Soygaybar : 700 thousand.
- Jokass : One of the greatest people of all time!
- Noru_is_druig : For 700 thousand you gotta say Thank you and bow for being that lenient LOLLL
- Soygaybar : Indeed indeed.
- professor : Go easy on me.. I need to make a living off of this from now on.
Of course, I can just endure one month of rolling in that horrible place, but my generator will need more gasoline, and Ill need to provide a consistent flow of Shilling for that gasoline.
Its okay if I have terrible attributes, but at least give me something manageable. Whos gonna want to pay to see a naked guy that smells and eats poop?
- Soygaybar : Okay. Then lets try a famous one. Seed 92749983, The Murderer Billy world. Hows that? Isnt this one okay? Its been verified to be popular with the audience. That reminds me, I havent seen Billy these days.
Nows not the time to be celebrating. I need to write the contract before he changes his mind.
- Soygaybar : Mhm this is good. This sounds fun the more I think about it.
- professor : Then is this the deal? All Random Stats / 1 Trait of Choice by Soygaybar / One month of gameplay and streaming (5 months in-game) excluding minimum rest time / Realistic Mode / Agreed?
- Soygaybar : Agreed. Im pressing accept trade.
- professor : mk
When I pressed the accept trade button, a system message that said The trade was successfully completed. popped up.
This was one of the biggest reasons why Shillings could become a widely used currency. If both sides didnt press accept trade, then the trade would be canceled, and a drone from the Gedroits company would take back the traded items.
If there was any unnecessary resistance in the process, your account was immediately banned.
In this world, where the only means of long-distance communication was the GG Community, an account ban would mean you would be cut off from society. Even the Dome, which even takes in people that are disabled, doesnt take in people that have banned accounts.
Of course, people that try to steal drone parts from the delivery drones also get their accounts banned. In this case, they track the persons biosignal and block all IP addresses within a 500-meter radius, so even in this hell of a world, Gedrotis drones can do their job in peace.
Anyway, the contract has been created, so I can take a breather now. It felt like the sense of panic overwhelming me sank back a little bit.
- Soygaybar : Now now, since the payments been made, why dont we start right away? Everyone get ready!
- Speedwagon : /Gets popcorn/
- Jokass : Hurryyyyyy!! We cant wait any longer!!!!
- Holli : Im excited to see this!
+ player Nutriagena has entered the chatroom
- Nutriagena : Ive heard the news. Is this the all random 1 bad trait realistic mode stream?
- korekorekorekore : This streamer has some good content.
- : I spread the news in my area chatroom too.
+ player . has.
+ player . has.
+ player . has.
- Soygaybar : Now now, welcome newcomers. Im the sponsor of this stream! Soygaybar! This account is worth 700 thousand, so I hope you all enjoy it!
- Guns_N_Blood : Well this is a new type of energy.
- Jokass : Knock knock!!! Oy host!!! Open up!!!! Theres people waiting!!!
- korekorekorekore : Knock knock knock!!
- Nutriagena : Open uppp!!!!!!
Master, are you ready?
Yeah, I wont be able to respond to external situations for a bit, so raise the protection field and the shield a bit more.
Yessir. Sweet dreams, master.
Pshhhh clunk.
As the pods door closed, the plushy interior wrapped around me. It was a comforting yet strangely nervous feeling that I felt for the first time in 2 years.
I really didnt want to do this again
Well, you never know where life takes you. If this game can have a bad effect on you, it also means it can have a good effect. Honestly, if you compare the Wastelands and the in-game world, the latter is definitely better for the mind. This is why people can not stop playing it, even if they know its dangerous.
While thinking about this and that, the internal lights turned off after finishing the biopattern analysis. With the feeling of my entire body floating, a womans voice started talking.
Welcome, Gyosu Park, to the world beyond.
Will you start Game of Gedroits?
The familiar voice brought a little discomfort, but I pressed it down. Dont think about it. My life is on the line here.
Yes.
As soon as the word left my mouth, a bright light engulfed me.
