Chapter 96: Chapter 96 – Returning to the Usual Daily Life

[Flexy: Sorry, bud! I lied! Last night, Lily wanted you to teach and play V-Shelter Survival together once you return to your home! In short, she asked for a collaboration stream tonight!]

Max sighed in relief when he got Flexy's message. It was a lifesaver. Thankfully, he was still confused and couldn't decide what to do.

'That fucker. Not only did he make me drink, but he also lied to me!' He gritted his teeth in frustration at his friend's prank.

But he also couldn't get mad at him because he understood Flexy's personality pretty well after practicing a few times with him. That orange-haired bastard only loved to have fun. Nothing would stop him when he found something interesting.

However, that didn't mean that he could do as he pleased. 'I will remember this.'

Sighing, Max opened the message once again to reply to Lily. He finally got the gist of the situation and could give the perfect reply.

'I know that she's not good with words, but she should type 'I am looking forward to the collab' instead of asking me to take responsibility.'

That was the start of the misunderstanding that almost stopped his heart. He thought that he had passed the limit and did something he would certainly regret while drunk.

And how confident was his drunk self? To think he agreed to teach Lily about V-Shelter Survival while he was also a newbie.

'I must be dumb. No, the alcohol makes me dumb. Yes. I won't drink any again, ever.'

But he couldn't back off. He could imagine her happy expression when he agreed to help her, just like when he allowed her to watch him at that park.

[Breeze: I am looking forward to our stream together tonight. Let's learn V-Shelter Survival together. Also, I am sorry for the late reply. My head still hurts from last night's drinking party.]

His reply came an hour later than when he had read the message. He hoped she wasn't angry because he ignored her.

Thankfully, she didn't seem angry.

[Lily: No problem. Me too. Let's meet at 7 PM tonight.]

[Breeze: Roger that!]

Max was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. It was indeed just a misunderstanding that was piled up with Lily's strange message and Flexy's prank.

"Thank god..."

An hour later, his Sky Rail arrived, and he returned home. He first stopped by the gym to exercise before going to Nina's restaurant for an early dinner.

'Holy! Is this real?' He screamed in his mind and rubbed his eyes. Nothing changed even when he looked at it again.

Not only was it crazy, but it was truly a surprise for even him. The effect of yesterday's program was amazing. He had expected growth, but getting more than 100K viewers in a day was a pleasant surprise.

Furthermore...

[Viewers: 12.7K]

The viewer count also increased, just as he had thought, along with the chat.

-- I wonder how he livestream?

-- I saw the VODs! I must say he's insane!

-- First timer here! What should I expect?

-- A shameless streamer who loves to scam BloodSucker, and the viewers who love to scam him too!

-- Hey! I am not scammed easily!

-- Yeah yeah, true! BloodSucker is the smartest person here!

'The power of promotion is pretty nice.' His smile widened as he put his hands on his hips. 'Well, it's time to start the stream. I believe that's not the peak yet.'

Thinking so, he operated the stream option and changed the loading screen to the 3rd PoV camera floating in the air. He made sure that he could be seen with the level 1 shelter behind him.

As soon as the screen changed, he waved his hand to the camera and greeted the viewers.

"Hello, guys! Hahaha, this is your beloved Breeze. Welcome to the new viewers. Don't worry about the chat saying that I am shameless. I am truly the one and only humble streamer. Well, I am humble, but I have 2 world records more than you!" He laughed merrily.

-- What a humble start

-- Damn, I hope zombies eat him

-- This guy's shamelessness increased right after he returned

-- For a maidenless, he's quite a show-off

"Hey, hey! I am not maidenless! Let's just forget about that." Max retorted to the chat while feeling nostalgic.
