Chapter 286: The First Stream (2)
"Never did in my life I imagine myself in traffic in another world!" Damien's voice resounded across the square, reaching Jake and Justin. He walked in, with Liza wrapped around his left arm.
These two, just like Jake and Justin, didn't come here to fight or level up, so their outfits were common. Seeing Damien in a suit in the game world was odd, particularly for the viewers.
A few jealous women spammed Jake's chat upon seeing Liza being so coquettish with him.
"Fortunately, the art of persuasion is not foreign to me," Damien winked.
Liza chuckled, "We rode The Warmonger Empire's carriage. You didn't even have to poke your head out. You just wanted to shout at others."
"And so did you, Liza," Damien leaned down and breathed his hot voice into Liza, making her sneer.
She replied, "They had to know the difference between them and us!"
"Haha! Beautiful art!" Damien hollered.
Jake, Justin, and the four pets stared at this couple with narrowed eyes. Find exclusive stories on мѵʟ
Each to their own, but these two's loves grew so much that they matched each other like a pair of dumb lovebirds.
"Is there chaos in your chat?"
"Yeah,"
"…"
Jake and Justin exchanged short words before Damien snatched everyone's attention. He stared straight into the camera with his best profile, looking like a prince from women's wet dreams.
He smirked. "A wave of appreciation for my dark horse in three… two… one!"
Messages such as Joker, Archer, Dark Horse, Jake, and much more flooded the chat. So many rolled on the chat that Jake barely made them up.
In the next second, he received a notification that a user, [Damien Twice], gifted subscriptions to one thousand users.
Jake shook his head, "This guy has too much money."
Justin and Liza nodded.
"How did he gift, though?"
"He forced Arthur to wait for this scene," Liza replied.
Jake and Justin exclaimed, "Ah."
Clapping his hands and making a stylish spin on his sole, Damien turned around and ambled toward his friends. He asked Jake whether he had shown the inside of the shrine to his viewers.
Upon receiving a 'no' from him, Damien sighed, "But it's such an art! You can't let the camera do everything! You're the conductor of this stream! The camera follows you! Show them more!"
"It's supposed to be a casual stream," Jake said.
"Casual are Clowns! Casual doesn't mean rooted to the ground, either! Forward!" Damien took the lead.
Jake smiled, "Well, I would show inside at some point anyway. Thanks for the gift, tho."
"May your viewers enjoy it. You should add some benefits for subscribers," Damien casually said.
The chat agreed with him. They told Jake about other streams and how they rewarded their community for their time and money, helping Jake grow his stream. Perhaps it was because of Jake's earlier declaration, but Jake didn't find any hateful or negative comments.
He liked the pleasant and casual mood of his stream.
Damien shouted, "This interior is to my liking! Not as good as my apartment in the capital, but I like it!"
The chat spat at Damien for comparing modern architecture with the game's medieval one. Many chatters also told Damien that he had too much money.
Jealousy also could be found in it.
Damien smirked, "Let's make a bet, my dark horse's viewers! The first person to guess how much money we will make this month off the teleport will receive ten thousand dollars from me!"
The chat bobbed with numbers.
Jake and Justin stood still, unable to believe this man's actions. Liza was laughing at the side, supporting this move.
While Justin tried to calculate his percent of dividends from one of the highest numbers, Jake was lost in thought. Or rather, he silently admired Damien's performance.
This man really knew how to behave before the audience.
With his years of stage experience, he has made the entire stream much funnier and enjoyable.
'I wanted to make a casual stream and see how things are done… I also wanted to know my initial audience, but I should have invested instead,' Jake thought. 'The first impression matters the most… Damien helped me a lot.'
Jake smiled, "None of you know the story of this shrine, though. In the middle of it rested the legendary bow. The monument beside it depicts the man who could use it. What happened to the bow? Guess."
Damien smirked.
Justin and Liza pondered for a while while the chat threw their first guesses.
"Someone guessed!" Jake said.
"Wait! It was stolen!" Justin chimed in.
Liza pulled him behind her and shouted. "Nah! It broke during a battle against one of Asta Households!"
Jake shrugged, "The bow just lost against the time. Let me scroll up to see who guessed it first."
It wasn't necessary, though.
[The Meredith has gifted a subscripted to NeverWinterAgain.]
"I see. So it was you, NeverWinterAgain. Well done, and enjoy your sub! Thanks Meredith for the gift! Love you, sweetheart," Jake said.
The chat went wild.
Damien whistled.
Justin smiled.
Liza nodded, her arms crossed.
The rest of the Casual Clowns joined the gang. They looked into the shrine's interior before going to Sushi God for snacks and drinks! They also interacted with the chat, and it was overall a good time before the main event.
A lot of players gathered at the scene as well.
People took photos in-game with Jake and others and interacted with them in a friendly manner. There was no way for assassins targeting Jake to step in, as the guards and archers of Asta Bow were on standby. Jake also had arrived in a carriage, meaning he was safer than ever.
Soon, the golden beam descended from the skies.
It blinded everyone at the scene.
NPCs grew frightened as it looked like legendary existences manifested!
Players however were aware that the game masters did their work!
The entire place erupted in cheers when everyone saw the spinning globe perched within the shrine. It rotated slowly, with the Southern Continent highlighted.
[You have become a part owner of The Southern Continent Globe Teleport.]
[You can use it for free.]
[You can check its status and other information by touching it.]
[The Southern Continent Globe Teleport will last thirty days from now on!]
Justin stood up.
He longingly looked at it.
Jake pushed him forward. "Have fun."
Justin sucked in his lips and nodded.
He ran toward it, eager to meet his beloved.
