[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 12

[Ding!]

[Hair]: The hair is becoming beautiful. The skill level increases with each purchase.

[Price: 200,000 won]

A messy, failed dye job that’s impossible to tame. The length reaches down to the tailbone, making it look even more disheveled.

Thinking, “How could hair possibly suffer?” I stared at the mirror and repeatedly pressed the purchase button.

[Ding! Ding!] ···

Smoke rose from the dull pink hair mixed with black, and a dark, sooty color seeped out with every movement of my fingers. It’s always fun to see the visible changes when leveling up a skill.

The system sound continued but quickly stopped.

“What, is it already over?”

[Ding!]

After five system sounds, one more echoed.

A brighter, almost blindingly transparent pink light enveloped the surroundings and seeped into the hair.

[The Saint’s hair regains its starlight.]

[Ding!]

[The fallen fragments begin to dissolve in response to the regained starlight.]

[The scent of peaches lingers in the Saint’s starlight.]

[The Saint’s starlight becomes even sweeter.]

─[Your starlight brightly illuminates the Heavenly Peach (天桃)]─

[The Saint’s hair, imbued with starlight]

The Saint’s starlight, reclaiming light and stars, brightly illuminates the Heavenly Peach (天桃).

[Price: Conditional Transcendence (超越)]

“Why isn’t my stomach throwing a fit?”

A wave of disappointment hit, and I grumbled while rubbing my chest.

After fidgeting for a while, I reached behind my neck to feel the changed hair and placed it on my palm.

“Wow… what is this?”

When I opened my hand, the clump of hair slid down smoothly onto my palm.

The hair was soft, yet it sparkled as if tiny fragments of light had been scattered all over it.

I thought the color would be a deep, murky pink, but it wasn’t at all.

The new hair color was a bright, translucent pink, like a mix of pure white and pink, glowing with starlight.

Every time I shook my head slightly, the hair swayed enchantingly, sparkling dreamily as if scattering starlight.

“Everything’s pretty except my face.”

The hair, glowing with starlight in a lovely pastel pink, made my round face stand out even more.

I looked closer into the mirror.

The long, flirty bangs lightly brushed the tips of my eyebrows and flowed down past my chin, adding a touch of cuteness to the otherwise overly sensual vibe of my body.

The soft, fluffy hair cascading down the pale nape of her neck mixed innocence, cuteness, and a hint of mischief.

Overall, instead of stiff straight hair, there was a slight, pretty wave with a soft, fluffy texture.

She stared blankly at the mirror for a long time.

Her hair, which used to hang down to her hips and looked a bit messy, had now been cut to just above her tailbone.

Even though it was shorter, her still-long hair suited her body perfectly, and her previously awkward proportions now looked flawless.

“Phew. Status Window!”

Ding!

[Remaining Balance: 1,050,000 won]

“Where did my 15 million won go?”

After sending 250,000 won for rent to the landlord, only 800,000 won was left.

The money she had to work 150 manual labor jobs to earn disappeared in an instant.

She couldn’t help but sigh, feeling like she had nothing left but her body.

Returning from the bathroom to her room, she flopped down on the mattress, and a few strands of hair fell onto her face.

Then, a fragrance wafted from her hair. She was practically a peach-human hybrid.

As she lay there, fiddling with her hair and rolling around, her belly button alarm went off.

Looking at the clock, it was already almost noon.

She jumped up and headed to the kitchen, opening the cupboard to find a few cup noodles she had brought from her old one-room apartment while packing.

Now she was stuck eating ramen without any kimchi.

“Ugh, when did I ever get to eat expensive kimchi?”

She took out the cup noodles, sprinkled the seasoning, and looked for the electric kettle, but it was nowhere to be found.

Then she remembered she had sold it second-hand.

With no other choice, she filled a pot with tap water, placed it on the gas stove, and returned to her room, where an old computer chair greeted her.

“I need to start streaming, but when should I begin…”

While her head was busy worrying, her hands, as if guided by the soul of a gamer, automatically turned on the computer.

—Whirr

The sound of the fan spinning and the beeping boot-up noise filled the room.

“Who turned on the computer?”

A few seconds later, staring at the desktop screen, she pondered what kind of stream to do today.

Maybe a mukbang?

But since her mouth wouldn’t be visible, it felt pointless.

As she continued her short train of thought, she wondered when she had even started worrying and turned it on.

Clicking the mouse, she accessed the TripleNet homepage and pressed “Start Streaming,” and the broadcast began.

[Lady Han Ga-eul has started streaming]

[Day 3 of Streaming: The Talk of the Town, Rookie Room Master]

Her arm…

A message is sent to viewers who have set up a low alert that the broadcast has started.

“Alright, I can start once I gather some viewers while eating ramen.”

After pressing the start broadcast button, they headed to the kitchen to check if the water was boiling.

Since the water wasn’t fully boiling yet, they turned on the broadcast on their phone to kill time in the kitchen. Viewers started trickling in one by one.

[Viewers: 70]

[Viewers: 230]

[Viewers: 650]

– [Military Secret1q2w3e]: Where’s the boss?!

– [dhgkaak]: LOL, the room title is living up to its hype. Day 3 and it’s already a monster.

After pouring the boiling water into the cup ramen and returning to the room with the computer, the viewers were going wild.

[Viewers: 2,300]

“What the heck, is it lagging?”

Just a moment ago in the kitchen, there were only a few viewers, but now the number was absurdly high.

– [Absentee Cover]: LOL, 2,300 viewers and the streamer’s gone MIA.

– [Watching Streams for Fun]: Is this the place known for the voice ASMR?

– [Jjondak Jjondak]: Where’s the room master?

Looking at the side of the screen, the viewer count was already past 2,300 and still climbing.

“What the hell, 2,300 viewers?!”

– [Flabby Bottom]: LOL, the moment I joined, chaos.

– [Stepping Stone]: Kya, this is our boss for real.

“Where did you all come from?”

– [Flabby Bottom]: I missed seeing you!!

– [dhgkaak]: Kya, hearing your voice makes me tremble.

– [Lycan]: The chat here is too toxic. Can someone clean it up, room master?

“Kid, clean up your own life first.”

[Lycan has been forcibly removed.]

– [Queen’s Foot Wipe]: LOLOLOL, got kicked like a dog.

– [Absentee Cover]: Be careful with the splash damage, I got hit by the bone.

– [Military Secret1q2w3e]: This is our boss. If you talk nonsense, you’ll get kicked, so watch your mouth.

“Seriously, where did you all come from? Why are there 2,300 people here?”

– [Hallelujah]: Honey, we went to Radelly’s room and boldly demanded an apology.

“Radelly? Those jerks from yesterday?”

– [Military Secret1q2w3e]: Seems like they came from the Demon Realm Room and Radelly’s room.

– [Best Da Yeonsu 369]: Wow, room master, your voice is amazing. I’m obsessed.

– [Floor]: Pya, your voice is melting meㅠㅠ

“I don’t get it. I’ve been broadcasting casually for two or three hours over the past two days, and now this chaos?”

Trying to make sense of the situation by looking at the flood of chat messages, but giving up on thinking because it’s just too confusing.

“I don’t get it. I’m gonna eat ramen, so you guys can play among yourselves.”

*Slurp, slurp.*

– [Hallelujah]: Eating ramen??

*Ding!*

[Radelly has sponsored 3,000,000 won.]

[Lady Han Ga-eul: I’m sorry for the trouble caused by my viewers yesterday. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.]

While chewing on ramen, a sudden 3 million won sponsorship pops up.

Looking at the sponsor’s nickname, it’s Radelly.

“Ahhhh.”

Can’t pronounce properly because of the ramen in my mouth.

“Ah, it’s okay, kids will be kids when they play. Thank you for the 3 million won sponsorship, Radelly.”

Despite my words, my heart is pounding like it’s about to explode.

– [Hallelujah]: “Wahh, I’m a baby viewer, feed me!”

– [Absentee Cover]: “Oh, Radelly Chrisbo, still alive huh lololol.”

“Tsu” is a term combining “Triplet” and “jobless,” referring to viewers who watch internet broadcasts day and night.

– [Flabby Bottom]: “Is 3 million won even money to Radelly? That guy averages over 10,000 viewers.”

– [Military Secret1q2w3e]: “Wahh Radelly, you jerk, wahh, shoot more, wahh.”

“Ah, you idiots. Shut up for a sec. I already said sorry. It’s fine, Radelly.”

*Ding!*

[Radelly has sponsored 100,000 won.]

[Thank you, your voice is amazing. Let’s do a collab sometime.]

“I should be the one asking for a collab. Thank you.”

– [Hallelujah]: “Kyaaaah, Radelly jerk, don’t mess with us, you wanna die??”

“Ugh, you jerks, shut up. Money’s being printed here.”

– [Absentee Cover]: “???”

– [Lycan]: “????”

“Almost said it, huh?”
