[Newbie Follower: New streamer, let’s go!]
[Newbie Follower: Hello hello!]
[Newbie Follower: Parallelver? Funny name.]
The text was displayed on the glasses, in a corner of my vision, making them a sort of AR multi-function device. Parallelver was the pseudonym I chose for myself when creating the account. It was made of ‘parallel world’ and my name ‘Oliver’.
“Hello, Newbie Follower. Thanks for joining.”
I imitated how other streamers handled viewers since I didn’t know much about it myself. A few seconds later, another person joined the room.
[Aich: Hey there. You’re outside, that’s cool.]
They were referring to the different types of streaming content. Streaming payment was standard, but it was far from the only thing people did. Those who were less extroverted, or shyer, often stayed at home to share their masturbation. Others streamed a sexual encounter, their sexual lives, or even acted out some scripts, which felt a bit like porn in the past life, with the main difference being that sensations were sent and experienced by viewers in real time.
“Hello, Aich. Yes, I haven’t decided where to go yet, but it’ll be outside.”
[Aich: That’s the type I like most.]
[Newbie Follower: Sounds great to me. Too many streamers stay at home or with their friends. It gets repetitive quickly.]
“Is that so? They’re not interesting?”
I chatted with the viewers waiting for more people to join. When around ten of them were here, and feeling they were getting impatient, I decided to move things along.
“Hello to the newcomers. Alright, everyone, should we start?”
[ImperviousAnimal: Finally! Let’s go!]
[IHateBeingNumb: What’s the plan?]
“It’s my first stream, so I’m open to any suggestions.”
Maybe I shouldn’t have said this because my viewers had no hesitation with their wishes at all.
[Aich: Go for a blonde!]
[ImperviousAnimal: I want a young woman. More sensitive.]
[IHateBeingNumb: Don’t care what you buy as long as it lasts for a while.]
[Newbie Follower: Buy something cheap and do several purchases.]
[Aged Wine Lover: Gilfs are the truth of the world.]
“Haha, well, since everyone has very different opinions, should we leave it to chance?”
[IHateBeingNumb: How?]
“Let’s choose something to buy and go to the first store that sells it. There, I’ll just choose the first employee available. Fair, right?”
[Newbie Follower: Sounds good.]
[Aich: Fine with me. Anything you need to buy?]
“I just bought this new phone yesterday.”
I showed the phone to the camera on my glasses.
[Aged Wine Lover: I know that model. It’s expensive. How long did it take to pay?]
“Actually, only around two hours.”
[Newbie Follower: ?]
[Aich: What?]
[IHateBeingNumb: BS.]
[Aged Wine Lover: Stop lying.]
“No, no, it’s true. That’s why I’m trying to become an SR streamer. I’m confident in myself.”
[Newbie Follower: No way that’s true. Even if you’re sensitive, there’s still a limit. And you can only be so good at sex.]
“I get your doubts. What about this? Let’s try to buy something costly today, and I’ll show you.”
Some people didn’t believe me and left the stream, but since new ones arrived from time to time, the crowd was still slowly growing.
[IHateBeingNumb: Deal. I like long payments. Doesn’t matter if you finish today or not.]
[Aich: What are you going to buy? Brand clothes? An expensive watch?]
“I don’t really care about those things… Let’s see. What about a new desktop computer?”
[Aged Wine Lover: Omg, you’re insane.]
[Vulture037: A computer? Lol, what’s with this ridiculous guy on his first stream?]
“Let’s move, there’s an electronics store not too far from here.”
I was starting to understand why streamers didn’t react to every single thing viewers wrote. I only had a handful of people in my stream, and I already felt like a lot of stuff could be just ignored.
Ten minutes later, I reached a medium-sized store, filled with diverse household appliances, computers, and even some phones. It was quite empty, considering it was getting close to dinner time now.
As I looked around, I came across a group of employees chatting in a section of the store to pass the time. It was made up of one man and two women, who hadn’t yet detected me, too engrossed in their talk.
“Uh oh. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. There are two clerks available.”
There was a brown-haired woman in her thirties, and a red-haired one in her twenties.
[Aich: No blonde…]
[Aged Wine Lover: No gilf…]
[ImperviousAnimal: I’m fine with either.]
[Newbie Follower: Just go for both of them, they look bored anyway.]
That last comment made me tilt my head.
“Two? Is that even possible?”
[Newbie Follower: Why not? Just try to ask them. That’ll give you better chances of paying by today.]
[IHateBeingNumb: Aren’t we setting the bar too high for this first stream? It’s getting out of control.]
[Vulture037: I’m for it, sounds fun.]
“Alright, I’ll try.”
I moved closer to the employees until they noticed me. They seemed slightly startled for a moment before the man addressed me.
“You’re an SR streamer?”
“That’s right.”
“I know most of the streamers in the area, and I haven’t seen you before. Are you new?”
“Yes. First stream today.”
“Makes sense. I’ll leave you to my colleagues, then.”
He directly left, going to chat with one of the cashiers on the other side of the store. The two women looked at one another, the brown-haired one speaking first.
“Hello. How can I help you?”
The red-haired girl was also going to leave when my words stopped her in her tracks.
“Please wait. Actually… My viewers asked if you’d be willing to handle my payment together.”
They were bewildered again. This time, the red-haired one answered with disdain.
“Perverts.”
The other woman smiled wryly, keeping quiet.
[Newbie Follower: So straightforward…]
[Vulture037: She nailed it.]
[IHateBeingNumb: I’m a girl, and I’m not a pervert, okay? I never said I wanted that. I’m just here because I’m not very sensitive and I need more stimulation in my life, alright?]
