Game-Addicted Beauty Wants an Easy Life

“Whoa….”

If there’s a heaven, isn’t this it?

I felt so happy after finally having a delicious meal.

Why did I spend so long eating bland potato porridge and bean sprouts? There are so many delicious things in the world.

Oh, it was because I didn’t have money. Money. Right, money was the problem.

The more money you have, the better. No arguments there.

Some people say true happiness can’t be bought, but most problems in life can be easily solved with money.

Therefore, I had to make money. Money isn’t everything… but it’s pretty essential to life.

To earn money, I need to broadcast, and broadcasting makes money.

I really need to work hard on my broadcast… which means I should eat pizza every day….

I didn’t need to search far for happiness. Just ordering pizza was enough to make me that simple-minded person.

Unlike those times when I stuffed my belly mindlessly, today I was enjoying fine dining.

My face feels hot. Suddenly, I realized I was flushed. I shook my head side to side at the feeling of heat.

…It’s hot.

“Ugh.”

As I turned my head, a slight nasal sound slipped out. Was I trying to act cute or something?

I’ll be honest. I had a drink. Not that I was drunk, but I felt something was missing just eating pizza. Forgetting to order cola was definitely a mistake.

I needed something fizzy to cut the greasiness, and luckily, I spotted a beer in the fridge that I didn’t even remember buying. Perfect timing!

Pizza and beer… the classic combo. It might be a basic pairing, but today is a special occasion.

Drinks are about the vibe; you don’t pick snacks based on your mood.

Anyway, it was a thoroughly satisfying meal.

“Hehe.”

I threw myself onto the bed while humming a tune. The thought crossed my mind that lying down right after eating isn’t good for you…but whatever, I’ll just lay down today.

I believe brilliant Camilla’s body can easily overcome any acid reflux!

The genius dancer of the Abyss, Camilla, wouldn’t know about such things!

After rolling around in comfort for a bit, I took out my phone.

Not for anything in particular, just thinking I might check out some other people’s broadcasts while I rest.

It’s called market research.

When you open a shop and start a business, you need to know what other shops are around and how the market works. As a sole proprietor myself, I thought I should know how others in the same industry operate.

With that thought in mind, I logged onto Twitch and found a surprisingly large number of streams available.

Chat streams, or so-called “communication broadcasts.” I was amazed and watched for 10 minutes straight. People don’t even hesitate at all when speaking. Talking non-stop like that is quite the talent!
Broadcast. As soon as I entered, I spent ten minutes in awe. People really don’t hold back on the audio. Talking non-stop like that is quite a talent, isn’t it?

Next up is a category similar to the previous chat, but this broadcast needs a different classification.

Well, I felt embarrassed just watching as these ladies were dancing hard, flaunting their skin.

The first two broadcasts fell into a category that I couldn’t ever do.

I mean, sure, I could do it if I really had to. If suddenly a thug stormed in with a knife to my side or a bomb collar around my neck, I wouldn’t have much choice.

I could just turn on the stream, throw out any topic, and talk for hours half-naked in front of the camera while dancing.

But would that even yield good results? I don’t think so.

Just being able to do something and doing it well are clearly two different things. The first two fields were inherently far from me. I guess it just doesn’t suit my aptitude.

…Now that I think about it, Camilla is a dancer, isn’t she? I haven’t tried, but maybe I could be a good dancer too—

Nah, that’s still not happening. Even if physically possible, I really don’t want to.

Waving my arms and legs, swaying my hips, and flirting with the camera in front of an audience?

It’s not a matter of talent; it’s simply a matter of personal preference. I can’t mentally accept it.

Anyway, to summarize my rambling, there are broadcasts that I could excel in and that suit my aptitude.

That would be the kind of broadcast dominating a huge pie slice on Twitch—a category with over 100 options.

Right, game broadcasts.

Among them, Abyss. The number one game in PC Bang market share, loved by the current 10-20 generation as chosen by Forbes.

Our game is strong enough to be described with all sorts of adjectives, including “god game.”

In fact, the category with the most viewers on Twitch right now is Abyss.

Every time I watch it, I’m amazed and feel deeply that this place is a completely different world from the one I knew.

A game that barely had 3,000 concurrent viewers suddenly becoming a god game overnight—it’s as shocking as suddenly looking just like Camilla.

Anyway, I set aside the other broadcasts and started focusing on those tagged with Abyss.

Because they were streamers that I’d likely interact with in the future. Plus, I was curious about the vibe of other broadcasts.

Sub-character streams, build research, duo collaborations, event battles… nothing particularly special.

As I browsed through the broadcasts ranked by viewer count from the top down,
“Eh?”

A broadcast caught my eye right from the title.

It was—

[Day 1 of Camilla Introduction, Dreaming of Becoming a Camilla Master]

It was a broadcast unlike any I had seen before.

A broadcast featuring someone playing Camilla.

“Whoa….”

Currently, there are 3,400 viewers. Quite a sizable broadcast.

For some reason, the name of the streamer felt oddly familiar.

Streamer Nicang. I think I met her once while gaming; I remember her being an AD carry.

Suddenly playing Camilla?

I started watching Nicang’s broadcast, feeling a deep interest.

“Hmm, umm, o…o….”

Camilla is fundamentally a niche hero.

Her pick rate is low. Users playing Abyss tend to avoid and shy away from Camilla.

Probably due to her excessive difficulty. But once you get the hang of it, there’s no hero more fun and charming than her.

In short, I just wished more people would know about Camilla’s charm.

“Oh, you should’ve used E on the creep instead of Q there.”

A sigh slipped out of my mouth, filled with regret.

I wasn’t angry or annoyed. I wasn’t frustrated either.

Just a bit disappointed. It was the first time I had such thoughts while watching a broadcast.

It seems like it’s because I had never seen someone else play Camilla on a broadcast before.

-Aah, she died again!

“Oh no, that won’t do.”

On the screen, Nicang again made a control mistake and horrifically died. That’s not how it’s done!

At this rate, Nicang might lose interest in Camilla and quit.

Anxiety. And the effects of alcohol.

I think that’s why I unconsciously typed in the chat during Nicang’s broadcast.

[Press Q in time, please.]

[The point is to confuse the enemy with your movements!]

[If you’re unsure, don’t dance or you’ll lose damage!]

It was no different from the common advice that viewers give to streamers, but I had no regrets.

It’s better to offer a little guidance than to hold back and risk stunting a budding talent.

New players trying Camilla are precious, after all.

I decided to share my knowledge without holding back.

*

“…How the heck do you do this?”
“How on earth do you do this?”

Facing the wall. It feels like staring at a gigantic wall.

How many rounds has it been already? This so-called hero named Camilla was a total mystery, no matter how many games I played.

Well, to be fair, I had a rough idea. And it wasn’t a pleasant one.

“This is garbage…”

Pretty garbage. The chat from earlier struck a chord with me.

This hero Camilla felt as empty as a hollow doughnut, leaving me with the thought that other than her looks, she was utterly useless.

“Still, that person seems to make it work.”

But when I thought of Kayak, the story changed.

Nicang wondered if there was something she had missed and asked the viewers while replaying the game.

“What do you all think? What seems to be lacking?”

[Everything]

[Is that even a question?]

[Try asking something less obvious]

[Just seems like the hero sucks]

[Why does she keep dancing while fighting?]

[It’s hilarious watching her get wrecked while dancing lol]

[You’re a noob]

I tried to tap into the wisdom of the crowd, but unfortunately, I didn’t get any useful answers this time.

Only useless comments that just tickled Nicang.

“I’m the fool for asking you guys. No one here has played Camilla, right?”

[Yep]

[I’ve played once lol]

[How do you know if you don’t try?]

[Why do that?]

“It’s better to just research while bumping into things myself. Unless you’re a Camilla expert, please keep your suggestions to yourself.”

Bam.

Just when Nicang reached her conclusion, the chat was quiet and no advice came in for a while.

[Using W for movement is better than dealing]

As soon as Nicang died for the first time, advice started pouring in again.

Already sensitive from being demoted today, Nicang seized the opportunity and confronted the viewer who offered advice.

“I said only Camilla experts can give advice. Use W for movement? Do you know Camilla so well? Are you as skilled as Kayak?”

However, the viewers’ responses were not what Nicang expected.

[What’s your nickname…?]

[That person is Kayak, isn’t it?]

[For real, it’s Kayak]

[What’s Kayak doing after the broadcast lol]

[Here to watch Nicang’s Camilla play which she can’t handle…]

“…Is it really Kayak?”

As if she couldn’t believe it, Nicang muttered, and before she could finish, the chat exploded again.

[Go ahead and play the next round. I’ll guide you step by step.]
