Cherreads

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Aftermath

On the other side, CaseOh, one of Twitch's top streamers, had also started his livestream at the same time. He was playing the currently hottest game, League of Legends.

In the past when he played this game, his actual viewer count in the backend could reach fifty or sixty thousand.

His audience numbers were always among the very top across all streaming platforms.

But today was an exception.

"WAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm the fucking MVP again!"

After winning a match, CaseOhlet out a strange laugh. Then he glanced at the backend data and instantly froze.

Because he discovered that the number of people in his livestream room was now only less than one-third of its usual amount, and it was still dropping rapidly!

"What's going on, Chat? Why are you all running away one by one!"

CaseOh shouted in shock, letting out a pig-like squeal.

"Everyone went to watch Jenny. She's playing a really awesome horror game!"

"Yeah, that Silent Hill game is terrifying. If you didn't tell me it was a game, I'd think it was a first-person movie!"

Soon, some viewers answered his question.

"A really awesome game? Come on, how awesome could it be!"

CaseOh was somewhat surprised. What game was Jenny playing exactly?

It had actually managed to pull away all the viewers from his livestream room.

It wasn't just CaseOh. The exact same scene was happening to other popular streamers.

They all noticed an obvious drop in traffic in their own livestream rooms!

After asking around, the reason was the same for all of them. Everyone had run over to Jenny's livestream!

At this point, the other streamers could no longer tolerate it. Just what had Jenny done to attract every single viewer over there?!

They immediately took action and began checking on Jenny's room one by one.

However, when they arrived at Jenny's livestream, they found that the screen was completely pitch black.

There was also a line of text displayed: "Game Over.."

And Jenny herself was nowhere to be seen.

The bullet comments in the livestream room were exploding, scrolling nonstop:

"Where's Jenny? It's already been ten minutes and no one's saying anything!"

"She's probably gone to calm down. Even I, as a bystander, was badly scared by that scene earlier, let alone her who experienced it firsthand!!"

"Yeah, this game is really too terrifying!"

"I want to download it and try it too!"

"Rim me or blow me, i don't fucking care! Just tell me where i can download this bloody game."

"I want to as well, but what if I get scared to death!"

Seeing the bullet comments refreshing at such a crazy speed across the entire screen, CaseOh and the others were dumbfounded. After all, their own livestream rooms had never had this many comments before.

As experienced streamers, they could roughly estimate the actual number of online viewers just from the bullet comment volume.

It was probably already over five hundred thousand.

So just what game was Jenny playing that could attract this many people to watch?!

Just as the group of streamers was wondering whether they should dm her on discord to ask, Jenny finally sat back down in front of her computer.

She had gone to the bathroom to wash her face and had also changed into a new pair of pants.

She was much calmer now.

Even so, Jenny's face was still very pale. She clearly looked badly frightened.

"Sorry about that, everyone. I got scared half to death earlier, so I went to rest for a bit."

Jenny apologized as soon as she came back.

"We understand!"

"Totally understandable!"

"If I played this game I'd probably get scared to death! The fact that you are still alive and kicking is already pretty impressive!"

"Let's spam some more subs to help Jenny calm down!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

[TL/N: Fuck, I cant tolerate ts anymore, Gifts > Subs.]

While chatting, a huge wave of people started sending subs to Jenny again.

At first it was just tier-1 subs, but soon people were spamming tier-2 and tier-3/4 subscription nonstop, and eventually someone even sent a tier-5 subscription!

Twitch had a tier system where tier-5 was the highest tier, costing a whopping $15,000!

For a moment, viewers in the livestream room all started spamming "W Dono" in unison.

These subs came pouring in without stopping. Especially that Tier-5 subs, which made streamers like CaseOh even more envious.

Just what had Jenny done to make the viewers worship her like this?!

Even Jenny herself was a bit overwhelmed by the favor. The amount of money coming in was simply too much.

Her originally pale face had regained quite a bit of color thanks to all these donations.

Jenny quickly expressed her thanks to all these generous sponsors.

After thanking them, she then said:

"First of all, thank you all, my dear chats, for your love and support. But I'm really sorry. As for this Silent Hill, I definitely won't dare to play it again."

"I can't help it. It's just too scary. I'm afraid I'll actually get scared to death. I have to think about my own life."

What Jenny said was the absolute truth. This game had left an extremely deep psychological shadow on her.

She wouldn't play it a second time even if you killed her. No amount of subs would make her do it!

"We understand!"

"We get it. This game is indeed terrifyingly over the top."

"Yeah, for a woman like Jenny to have played it for so long, I think her courage is commendable."

"For fuck sake. Just play the damn game! It's just a game."

The bullet comments were all unanimously expressing understanding.
