Chapter – 10
The news that a GOD OF FIGHTERS (GOF) ranker known as ChickenPunch was streaming gameplay in real time began spreading across gaming communities.
The post even made its way onto hunter forums, where GOD-OF-AP was treated almost like a professional training program.
And eventually, the news reached Baek Hee-an.
[Lee Ji-yoon (Field Support Team): Did you hear?]
[Lee Ji-yoon (Field Support Team): Chicken is streaming live right now, check it out if you’re interested.]
[Lee Ji-yoon (Field Support Team): It’d be good to analyze combat style and power before meeting in the tournament.]

She even sent the link.
After reading the message, Baek Hee-an slowly stood up while rubbing his dark eye bags.
‘…Why is everyone so obsessed with ChickenRanker?’
He had just returned from a long overseas mission a few days ago, and after finishing all reports and paperwork yesterday, he was finally resting at home.
He had been doing absolutely nothing, so boredom made his hand move on its own.
He tapped the link.
A live match was already in progress, with rapid chat messages filling the screen.
It was a relentless one-on-one battle, with no room to breathe or counterattack.
—What am I even watching
—The matchmaking system messed up lol
—He’s getting absolutely destroyed
—This is really Diamond rank?? lol
—It’s not the same Diamond, one side is a ranker of course it’s like this
—So ChickenPunch is really ChickenPunch huh
—Hmm… feels like he’s only showing like a quarter of his real skill
—Opponent is too weak
—ChickenPunch is too strong
—Wait, he keeps using the same Celestial skill this whole match lol
—Trying to hide his full power?
A female character with tied hair had eyes glowing sharply.
Celestial skill.
Baek Hee-an, who had just gotten up to eat dinner and was watching half-asleep, suddenly widened his eyes.
“…!”
The face shown alongside the Celestial skill zoom-in made his skin crawl.
That smile—when she had the advantage in battle—overlapped perfectly with someone in his memory.
“…Joo Hyun-soo?”
Even the motion of her fist and flawless footwork.
BOOM!
A perfect hit directly into the enemy’s face using a Celestial skill instantly drained the opponent’s HP.
[K.O] appeared at the top of the screen.
—That was insane
—Damn
—Am I the only one getting chills?
—I suddenly want chicken and beer
—She’s seriously badass
—Need stronger enemies
—Next should be conquest mode
—Battle royale is better
—1v1 is best though wtf
—Infinite hell wave raid is the only way to see ChickenPunch’s limits
—Anything works
—Next match hurry up
Baek Hee-an’s eyes shook violently.
He immediately snapped fully awake, rushed out of bed, and turned on his desktop.
After finishing a match, the chat had exploded.
“When did it get this big?”
【Just turn it off already.】
The clown, clearly displeased with the stream, complained—but a large audience meant one thing: money.
“Why do these viewers want so many different things?”
Is streaming always like this?
Inside a monitor-sized window, my character’s face and live comments were displayed together.
—ChickenPunch is confused lol
—Sister I’m your fan! Or brother maybe
—Love at first sight
—Do conquest mode!! do conquest!! do conquest!!
—What about battle royale?
—Wait, the Celestial hasn’t spoken once? Is that normal?
—You only hear Celestial voices when possessed or when the player speaks
—I want team conquest
—Wave mode pls
—Battle royale fits ChickenPunch best
Hmm.
I had only tried conquest mode and battle royale once during the tutorial when I first started this game.
But practicing before the tournament wouldn’t be a bad idea.
—Why would a ranker in 1v1 play other modes lol
Exactly.
—Sister can you do boss raid?? I got addicted after subway raid, I love youㅠㅠ
So I even had female fans?
But whether male or female, my goal was simple: find someone to pay for tonight’s chicken.
A modest goal… though somehow too many people were already competing to fulfill it.
It felt less like a chat and more like an auction house.
‘…Wait. Auction?’
The clown crossed its arms and stared at the chat.
【Disgusting. They’re definitely here to scout your skills. Just do battle royale. It hides skills best—】
“I’ll start an auction.”
【…?】
—Huh?
—?
—Auction??
—lol
—genius
—this expression is villain energy lol
—Chicken Sister is a genius for sure
“Everyone bet at least 500 won on the mode they want. I’ll pick whichever gets the highest bid.”
【This human’s brain is sharp in the weirdest places.】
Immediately, money started pouring in.
—Conquest 500
—Battle royale 1000
—1v1 3000
—Is this serious? lol
—Conquest 5000
—Battle royale 6000
—Raid mode is best tbh
—Raid 10000
—Auctioning game modes live lol
—This is actually working?
—Pick whatever ChickenPunch wants 20k
—Battle royale 30k
—1v1 50k pls
—Wave 70k
—This is not normal lol
—Then you should get rank 1 and stream too
—Battle royale 100k
—Already 100k??
—She’s milking it lol
—I want chicken too now
—Wait the title is chicken money lol
—Let’s turn this into mukbang
Ah, I want chicken.
Streaming platforms take about 30% commission on donations.
A disgusting cut, but 70,000 won would buy three chickens.
—ChickenPunch, isn’t this your first stream? You might not be able to withdraw donations immediately, there are conditions…
—I’m not criticizing, just worried you won’t get your chickenㅠㅠ
…What?
So this is how a perfectly cooked chicken gets wings and flies away?
Just as I was getting excited, the chat immediately started solving the problem.
—Oh right
—lol she can’t withdraw on first stream
—gift cards work
—bank transfer donations?
—there are donation sites too
—just send chicken gift cards first, then remaining to account
These guys are geniuses.
Even I, who had no streaming experience, didn’t know this.
—1v1 match 1,000,000 won
The chat suddenly went silent for a moment.
My eyes nearly popped out.
“On-one million?!”
【That guy is definitely a spy. Reject it immediately. He’s trying to steal your skills.】
Shut up.
Still… I couldn’t ignore the suspicion.
“Are you serious?”
A million won isn’t small money.
If I got distracted by fake generosity and lost a real 100k offer, that would be a huge loss.
As I asked with crossed arms, a donation notification popped up instantly.
—[WhiteSnow donated 500,000 won.]
—Whoa…
—It’s real
—First stream and this happens??
—Rankers are different
—Can you even receive donations before registration?
—I streamed before, it doesn’t disappear—it just takes time to withdraw
No way.
My eyes almost popped out.
‘F-fifty percent?!’
Is making money this easy?
A whole new world.
Then the donor added one final message.
—After the match, if you send me your private donation account, I’ll send the remaining half.
Insane.
I bowed deeply in front of my desk like I never did in the convenience store.
“Thank you, customer.”
【…Has this human lost it? He treats me like trash but thanks random strangers?】
The Coin Market is still just a dream.
And the guy who gave me 100 coins and threatened to take them back should shut up.
—lol
—unexpected politeness
—capitalism in action
—prices are wild
—chicken is apparently 500k now lol
—ChickenPunch being formal is so awkward lol
—first stream but pro-level money skills
—auction idea was insane
Then a system notification appeared.
[WhiteSnow has sent a friend request.]
The donor’s nickname matched his GOD-OF-AP name exactly.
‘So the donor is a player.’
Maybe, just like the clown said, he was a competitor trying to evaluate my skills.
But would a competitor really make it this obvious?
Anyway, I should be careful.
I spread the 1v1 map selection screen clearly in front.
“Pick one, WhiteSnow.”
I winked slightly, and the chat erupted.
—so sweetㅠㅠ
—I’m jealous
—this streamer is charming
—I’m falling for her
—I want her too but why is my bank account emptyㅠㅠ
—this doesn’t feel like a first stream lol
It is.
Instead of answering, I just smiled quietly, and they kept saying “as expected.”
Soon, WhiteSnow replied.
—Whatever you prefer
The clown narrowed its eyes.
【Told you, that one is suspicious.】
I agree.
“Okay.”
Let’s make money first.
