I Couldn’t Afford to Buy Mana, so I Started Streaming

Chapter 705




The Atmosphere of Noname’s Birthday Live Stream is Heating Up

[The song that’s being sung right now is urgent; hurry up!]

jk (just kidding)

[Comments]

– ‘Captain of the Utopian Ship’
– This is a song you can hear when you complete the 월오아 DLC side quest.
– This song is so addictive, it doesn’t make any sense, lol!
– Why am I just finding out about this now?
– Noname’s compositional and lyrical prowess is astounding! *The lyrics seem to have no dreams or hopes, though, lol!*

“Next is a song you all know well.”

As the nursery rhyme came to an end, a familiar melody poured out.

The moment Na-me tapped the chords with her fingertips, the viewers erupted into a frenzy of excitement.

“When I had you to myself—”

The legendary hip-hop track sung by the King of Pop in his youth echoed softly yet intensely.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, na-na-na-na.”

Na-me, riding the beat slowly, smiled with slightly glazed eyes.

Those watching on their phones began to connect to virtual reality one by one.

Perhaps they wished to hear Na-me’s pristine voice up close.

[Currently updating the legendary Noname karaoke broadcast]

(Viewer count surpasses 15 million.jpg)

Regardless of anything else, this is definitely the top in terms of refreshment by my standards.

[Comments]

– Is this the voice of a human perfectly preserved from fine dust for seven years?
– You’re really funny, lol!
– The voice is so clear it’s distracting from the instruments.
– It’s impressive that she’s only strumming the guitar and not using a backing track.
– Her voice is really beautiful and clean.
– Noname goes all out right from the start, lol!
– Jackson can’t resist it.
– Thanks to that, we hit 15 million, lol!

With each line of song that ended, a sense of emptiness came over.

Na-me transitioned to another song from ten years later.

The viewers in virtual reality felt as if they were time traveling alongside her.

The song itself seemed to have become a living entity.

Born, grew up, and perished. Revived in someone else’s voice, in someone else’s heart, soaking the hot blood.

“Saetbyeol, let’s sing together this time.”

“Meow?”

“Starry Escape. The song Saetbyeol sang for me on the day of the national exchange tournament finals.”

– Wowwwwww
– King Cat
– Taking care of your butler like a true master, lol!
– This marks the tenth song already; that’s insane.
– The representative song of the 2050s is Freya Sky, undeniably!
– Truly the queen of the Grammys.

Blushing shyly, Cheon Saetbyeol picked up the microphone.

However, this was a song she was confident in, ready to burst out at any moment.

They exchanged glances and started to sing.

As the first notes resonated, Saetbyeol’s eyes widened in surprise.

Just like the lyrics mentioned, she must have felt one with the night sky in that fleeting moment.

And when the song transcended the axis of time,

Emotions and cheers flooded the chat window.

Thud—

Na-me sucked her bright red finger.

“Did you have fun?”

She didn’t even need water.

[Broadcasting Time – 2:31:18]

[Number of Viewers – 20,065,214]

The chat window was so packed that it was already broadcasting all over the world.

[Did Noname really just sing a little in the live stream and gain that much influence? lololol!]

(Spotify real-time rankings.jpg)

Songs from 90 years ago are all trending back, lol!

[Comments]

– Weren’t all of those originally masterpieces? lol
– The song selection was just insane!
– The reflection is super fast.
– Achieved a simultaneous viewer count of 20 million; that’s crazy!
– It’s about time the Americans started waking up.
– What must it feel like to be a thousand times larger than corporate streamers?
– Noname typically has around 300,000 viewers.

The birthday buff is no joke, lol!

[They say they acknowledge Noname as an honorary Black person, lol!]

(Clip from a U.S. early morning podcast.mp4)

“Man, straight up, felt like one of us. She’s fam now. No cap. She earned that.”
Are they really acknowledging this? lol!

[Comments]

– I mean, we don’t need honorary Black status, lol!
– That groove recognized by Rodouza, wow!
– A troubled background, abuse, immigration to the U.S… Perhaps Na-me has all the qualities of a successful rapper?
– Whoa, lol!
– If you look closely, she’s truly in awe.
– Take off the sunglasses; she must be crying buckets right now.

[Forget Noname, why is Adella so good at singing? lol!]

Let’s say the other songs were just boosted by Noname’s vocals.
But that duet at the end was electrifying.
Planning to save it as an alarm.

[Comments]

– Adella sang that all the time during her virtual YouTuber broadcasts back in the day, lol!
– Was that a song constantly beaten down a million times?
– Why is Cheon Saetbyeol so good at singing?
– It’s generally expected that if you’re preparing for theater, you should be a bit good at singing too.
– She often steps in as a musical actress.
– Her beauty is stunning.
– Della-nyang is becoming sultrier day by day.

[Oh no… I heard Na-me’s national exchange tournament schedule got canceled.]

(Birthday Live Stream.mp4)

Luxembourg’s Alain Beiga has been diagnosed with an 18-week recovery after a car accident.

Even if he recovers quickly, it seems impossible for him to come back in under two months.
Since Luxembourg has no substitute candidate, they will automatically be disqualified.

[Comments]

– Wow… how incredibly unfair!
– How do you even injure yourself to end up with an 18-week recovery?
– Thankfully, he seems to be alive.
– With that, it’s just a figure of speech; he’ll need a full year of rest.
– Isn’t it possible for Na-me to take his place?
– Is that even feasible? lol!
– (Author) Na-me asked but was told no.
– She probably would have liked to take his place for sure.

As the night temperature dropped significantly, Na-me went inside the tent and continued her broadcast.

It felt like it was about to end, yet it never did.

She peeked her head out of the white blanket.

[Na-me: “Since there’s suddenly a gap, I’ll focus on my work for a while.”]

[Wow, balance game incoming, lol!]

[Wait, is Na-me a mint chocolate lover?]

[Mint chocolate squad wins, lolololol!]

[“Mint chocolate only signifies the essence of the nation.”]

[“I don’t care about 10 billion, I just want to be slapped by the Silver Goose once.”]

What are you saying, lol!

[An American is now entering the stream crying tears of blood. jpg]

[I hear the Heavenly Demon Tournament episode 3 will be fun; ah!]

[Tired Na-me.gif]

[Evil Della.gif]

[The cat ultimately got kicked out of the tent, lol!]

[Oh, it feels like we’re winding down, but nooooo!]

[Seriously, we need to stream until midnight for NoName’s birthday!!!]

[Just Chatting – Happy NoName Day]

[Broadcasting Time – 3:16:19]

“Whew.”

Na-me blew air into the microphone.

The viewers, tickled, shivered all over.

Thump-thump—

Na-me slowly placed the microphone on her chest, took a small breath, and continued.

“I’m so happy to have sung a lot and spent fun time with you all. It’s about time to wrap things up.”

She closed her eyes, submerged in a still resonance as if all sounds had vanished.

“It feels like I’ve received overwhelming love from all over the world… I will bless all who were born. I love you.”

Na-me whispered.

“I love you, I love you. I love you. I love you… I love you…”

As if trying to capture that short moment of beauty existing alongside the world’s pain.

“Sniff, I’ll really hang up now. Bye-bye.”

[Broadcast has ended.]

[Best point of today’s birthday live stream]

(Cherry Mukbang.jpg)

“Mmmmmaaaaah.”

When Na-me played the guitar and complained to her father that her hands hurt, asking him to feed her instead.

At that moment, she was an overwhelming dose of cuteness, lol!

* * *

Caw caw caw—

The sunlight, as if long absent, was finally changing clothes with the tent.

“Ow, my back.”

Every muscle in my body cried out in discomfort.

This was usually the case when sleeping arrangements changed.

“Ugh.”

I turned my head to look at Saetbyeol, who was sleeping in a shrimp position.

It seemed she had stolen all the sleeping space from me, sprawling next to Ruri.

“Phew.”

I gently closed my mouth, which smelled of drool, and sat up.

The mornings at the campsite weren’t that peaceful.

Birdsong, insect sounds, and the chatter of children from across the way claimed their place.

“Are you awake?”

Was Cheon a professor addicted to cooking over the fire?

He had been simmering soup since early morning.

I sat in my camping chair, still half-asleep.

“Is it clam chowder? I want some too. It smells great.”

“Oh, yeah.”

I accepted the plate and stirred the white liquid with a wooden spoon.

Slurp—

“Ah, it’s warm.”

“Your hair is a total mess since you just woke up.”

“Yeah.”

“Should I comb it for you, dad?”

At this unexpected remark, I raised an eyebrow.

Even though I hadn’t asked first.

Nodding—

“Be happy.”

As the professor went to get a comb, I repositioned my chair.

“Can you tie it in twin tails today?”

“Got it.”

Professor Cheon tidied my long hair with a cushion brush.

Tap-tap-tap—

“But they say that method is bad for hair.”

“Really? I thought that rubbing the top of your head was good.”

“Still, it feels nice, so do it a bit more.”

Even with long hair, it didn’t take long to comb it.

It was also a relatively thin type of hair, so it didn’t get tangled easily from the start.

“Your hair ends are pretty damaged. You often drag it on the ground when sitting on a chair.”

“I can’t help it; I’m not getting enough protein.”

“Have you thought about cutting it a bit shorter? About waist length?”

“I like it long.”

Even if I were a guy, I would have kept my hair as long as possible.

That thought remained unchanged.

When the professor asked the reason, I plucked a strand of hair and let it float in the air.

Grabbing the barely visible end of the hair with my fingertip,

The hair floated lightly with the wind and landed on the grass.

“If I live in a depleted state for a month like this, I can fully recharge my Aura Heart.”

“You know it automatically recharges in a week without doing anything.”

“Well… there can always be difficult situations, right?”

“…”

Professor Cheon continued combing in silence.

I tilted my head back to meet his shadowed face.

“Just joking, I like long hair because it looks pretty.”
