Acorn Jelly’s streams attracted an average amount of viewers, but his revenue probably placed him in the top percentage. His ratio of viewers and profits drastically varied because he only played niche video games with loyal fanbases.

“He plays a lot of different games too.”
Sang-Hyeon mumbled to himself while scrolling through Acorn Jelly’s description.
“He streams a variety of games like BubbleGum.”

Sang-Hyeon also aspired to become a multi-game streamer. It made sense from a business standpoint. The trends wouldn’t sway him and it allowed him to play a variety of games.

Of course, only some streamers had the luxury of being one. They either had to excel at all games or be great streamers.
‘I know what my advantage is.’

Sang-Hyeon didn’t know if he had a streamer’s capabilities, but he knew his focus and desire to compete couldn’t be matched.

“What should I respond with?”

He reread the message after organizing his thoughts.

[Hi Almond, I’m a streamer that goes by the name Acorn Jelly. I’ve been playing Kingdom Age as well these days. I’m pretty good at video games, but I fell in love as soon as I saw your plays. Don’t worry though because I like women.

Anyways, I’m reaching out to see if you’d like to collaborate on some content. You could teach me some techniques or I could assess your gameplay.

I would like to discuss further details in person or we could virtually chat.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.]

Acorn Jelly encouraged him to reach out, but he couldn’t help it.

Ah… I’m not good at these things.”

Sang-Hyeon hesitated. Collaboration streams might be a double-edged sword if others saw him as leeching off big streamers.

“One mistake is all it takes.”

Sang-Hyeon had zero social skills despite his corporate work experience. He could hardly make any friends no matter how much he socialized. Fortunately, no one threw any stones at him.

However, he did manage to befriend someone great.

Bzzt—?

A familiar name popped up on his phone.

[Kim Ju-Hyeok]

Sang-Hyeon didn’t know why he called, but answered anyways.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Yo, I searched up your stream. You’re Almond, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Damn bro, people seem to like you.”

“Yeah, I agree.”

“Do you normally get this big in two days? Why does it seem like I’m more excited?”

“Being calm is a necessity for archery. And I’ve been a genius since a young age, so I’m used to this.”

Sigh…

A muffled curse could be heard through the phone.

“Hey, you know what happened today?”

“What happened?”

“I got in a huge fight with the director.”

“?!”

Sang-Hyeon became speechless. Of all people, he couldn’t believe Ju-Hyeok fought with the director.
