《Otaku Streaming In A Cultivation World》Ch. 4 - Benefits Of Watching Myself
Advertisement
I am back in the air-conditioned room of an indoor person. If the forest environment gave me a relaxing and calming effect, then room my room is twice that. Especially after what happened.
“It’s so realistic. Good thing I didn’t pee my pants... Will I also pee in real life if I did? I hope I won’t have the answers to that.”
My breathing is ragged as I stood up and took some cold water from my fridge. I can still feel some adrenaline left in my body. To remove it, I decided to walk outside and pass by the convenience store while I’m at it.
I picked my usual convenience bento meal that I eat at least five times a week. It’s not that I’m bad at cooking, I’m just too lazy to do so.
It’s better to walk next block where the store is rather than cook for 20-30 minutes.
“You look tired today, San. You’ve gone binge-watching last night again?”
“Nah, I was running for my life.”
“… You should sleep sometimes. I know it’s the start of a new season, but don’t watch every anime’s first episode.”
Andrew who is working here and worrying about me is one of the few friends I made in my independent life. Mainly because I am a frequent customer in this convenience store and he had worked there for more than two years.
He’s the type that would be the first to raise his fist whether some crazy shit happens. As I saw many times already during my visits.
He may be working too long as a cashier, but this is the third time Andrew was hired by this very same store. He shared that this is his landing zone if things do not work out in his life.
“You want to microwave it- yes, you do”
It’s unusual for Bentos to be microwaved, but Andrew knows me too well. I specifically chose a bento that is the best if microwaved because I prefer if my meal is hot.
“Oi Andrew, go watch my stream if you have nothing to do. Give me that sweet sweet 2nd viewer that will bump me upwards.”
“You’re streaming now? I know you’ve lost you’re job but damn. You’ll have no future in streaming with that face and personality of yours.”

“Not a single positive feedback. I wonder why you got fired from many jobs now.”
“Ain’t my fault. Some co-workers are just too much of a bitch.”
Ting!
My meal was ready and all I need is to pick up a drink and pay.
After those encouraging words from Andrew, I went back to my place. I just had the most unimaginable experience anyone can have yet here I am doing my usual routine.
I stayed in that world for over an hour and I also decided to take a break first to reflect what is my status before diving in Cultivation Realm again.
“What video should I play while I eat? Maybe this would be a good time to replay my stream.”
A side note, my stream is still live. It’s been staying at the Title Screen since I left. This is a bad streaming practice to leave without saying the reason to the audience.
However, I have no audience. I can do whatever I want as long as I don’t break the term of services. I may even break some and no one will bat an eye.
“I’ve stayed inside the game a bit longer than I would like to, but it should not be a problem once I start watching what I did.”
I was thinking about what I could have done better during the confrontation with the creature named Green Serpent. The battle was still vivid in my mind yet I cannot think of anything I can use to repel those quick slithering movements.
The stream I played on my phone while I am shoving my face with rice didn’t reach the climax yet. If I am a viewer who randomly clicks this stream, then I would immediately click away after seeing nothing was happening on the screen for a long time.
I really did nothing but walk through a forest. But at least the scenery is nice.
“The Green Serpent should show itself around the fortieth-minute mark.”
A disturbing rustle was the beginning of some change in what I am watching. I almost dozed off watching my own stream. And I must say, the audio in this stream reflected almost 1 to 1. My forest hike before I met the monster could be an ASMR video if I turn the volume to max.

It’s really weird to watch my own stream. I’ll get used to it, but I’m cringing so hard towards the stupid stuff I kept saying by myself. Going to note that on what to improve later on.
Woosh!
Repeating the battle scene, or the one-sided fight between the snake and an overweight man, I know what I could have done better. I could have exited the game as soon as I met the enemy.
Although I’m not sure if that would work. Going to need to try it later in safer circumstances.
“Now those bastards showed up.”
Six members of a Sect I don’t know of appeared behind the snake coming at me. Now that I don’t need to worry about my life, I can see who killed and how they killed the Green Serpent.
Replaying and even slowing it down to 0.25 speed, a young man threw a spear and pierced the back of the head of the monster. He was one of those green-cloaked members.
The advantage of technology was really showing when dissecting the events that just transpired. Technology with a little bit of unexplained phenomenon.
I don’t know how strong was the throw to pierce the skin of the snake, but one thing is for sure, and that is I won’t want to be the end of it. A 0.25 replay speed barely showed the spear’s afterimage of what my eyes were able to capture at the moment.
“Damn, the women in their group all look like the protagonist from Asian TV series.”
My eyes keep going back to these beauties even though I wanted to learn more about them. I’m learning all right, but not relevant information concerning what kind of people I will be dealing with.
Although you might say now I know beauties are a common sight in Cultivation Realm.
An example is the girl who voted to not kill me off. Compared to the rest, she has some western traits that made her stand out compared to the rest. She has that confident and cool look along with that assertive body gestures that say she was above her team members.
I was not able to recognize it a while ago, but even the man who has a blue cloak listen intently when she spoke. I assume members with blue cloaks are higher than those who had green.
She might be the standard of what’s beautiful for them because all men looked at her with lewd eyes. You can say I am wrong, but I know when those eyes are eyeing for something not good. I looked at myself in the mirror a couple of times. And I probably had those very same eyes when I saw this girl the first time.
Fortunately, I live in a day where images of beautiful women of different nations can be searched through a simple swipe of my phone alone. Except for the first impression, I am proud to say I won’t be as horny if I ever meet her again in the game.
“Tsk~ I’ll return for you later… I need some fresh blood to practice my Blood Prison Art.”
“Wait-wait-wait. What the fuck did this guy say?!”
The scene showing on the stream is when the group is about to separate from me. However, the last person to leave, the blue cloaked man who had scars on his rough face left some words no one should be able to hear.
But if I turn the volume up through the roof, I can barely understand what he said. Thankfully, I noticed his mouth moving before he turns his back at me.
“Is my life in danger as soon as I enter the game? Should I continue playing today or I’ll wait until tomorrow?”
Of course, the answer was obvious.
I’ll have to end the stream today. It’s too bad no one was curious enough to check out my stream and become my first official viewer. I’m confident the experience my future audience will have will be an experience they won’t get in any other streamer.
But I have a lot to improve on. Like talking to the audience while making sure the gameplay bangs.
Though, can I really call it gameplay? Feels more like an IRL, in real life stream rather than gaming.
Nevertheless, I hope I don’t meet such people again once I play it tomorrow.
