“Five… million?”

Sang-Hyeon subconsciously shouted the total amount they earned from donations in one day. Do Jae-Muk’s tablet clearly showed 5,360,000 won.

Sang-Hyeon would’ve had to earn every incentive and bonus from his previous job to barely match what they made today.

The streaming platform fees had already been deducted too.

“Do… do you usually make this much?
Acorn Jelly bitterly laughed and shook his head.

“No, this is also my first time earning this much.”

Acorn Jelly considered it an unusual occurrence. Typically, earning five hundred thousand won would be an excellent day for him.

Today, they earned five million won. He simply invited Sang-Hyeon and interviewed him. Plus, he made a small teaser video.

‘This is so much for the work I did.’

Of course, they had to split the earnings in half. The 2.5 million won was still a massive amount.

“If we split this evenly… it’s actually around 2.7 million per person.”

Sang-Hyeon and Ju-Hyeok blankly stared at each other.

‘This isn’t a dream, right?’

‘I don’t think so…’

The two needed a moment to accept what just happened.

“Thank you.”

They bowed and thanked Acorn Jelly.

“I should be thanking you guys. I usually celebrate if I get 500,000 won. I only average around 200,000 won when I stream.”

Ju-Hyeok's eyes shone and he perked up. He thought streams could only profit from donations.

“Then…is there a different way you earn money to sustain yourself?”

“Of course, it’s advertisements. Treevy gives me a base incentive based on my number of viewers. That’s kind of like my salary. There’s also…”

Na-Yeon chimed in and explained, “I also bring in third-party advertisers. The ads promote the games, but you should choose carefully because they can affect your image.”

“Ah…”

Ju-Hyeok didn’t take any notes, but committed the information to memory.
Acorn Jelly and Na-Yeon seemed to be in a good mood. Ju-Hyeok took advantage of this rare opportunity to ask more questions.

“What about ads that aren’t related to video games? Do you take them as well?”

“Yes, sometimes that’s a safer bet. Things like clothes, cameras, streaming equipment, computer, and capsules. Those are probably the main ones.”

“Ah…”

Ju-Hyeok took a mental note of everything again. He already possessed some background knowledge, so he quickly grasped these new ideas.
