Iba, Zambales.
Inside Jay's rented room.
Jay slowly opened his eyes as he got up from the bed.
Yawn~
Stretching his hands, Jay looked out the window and saw that it's already dark outside.
"Hmm, I slept for a long time…"
Jay walked to the kitchen, grabbed a glass of water, and sat down in front of his computer.
While drinking some water, Jay turned on the computer and waited for it to boot.
When it opened, he put down his glass of water and said, "Starting a live stream right now shouldn't be a problem."
Glancing at the bottom right corner, the time showed 7:41pm.
It's already close to 8pm, meaning, most of the people should be at home already at this time.
The students and most of the workers outside must be resting inside their homes now.
A lot of them should be people who watch live streams, because it is really popular right now.
This means the peak hour for live streams has come.
With a smile, Jay opened the Cube Menu and started browsing through the achievement that he could complete.
[Receive a gift from a viewer for the first time.]
[Do a mukhang in your live stream.]
[Become the number 1 trending streamer.]
[Become trending all in the social media Gram.]
[Sing for your viewers in your live stream.]
[Dance in your live stream.]
…
A lot of achievements with full gray color were laid in front of Jay's eyes.
He looked for a while and thought about what he could do tonight.
Finally, Jay picked three achievements that seemed easy and could be completed tonight for him to choose from.
They were [Do a mukhang in your live stream], [Sing for your viewers in your live stream], and [Dance in your live stream].
Putting his hand on his chin, Jay pondered for a while.
"Hmm, which one should I do?"
Jay stared at the mukhang achievements and looked back in his kitchen.
Currently, it's the end of the month and he doesn't have any more food in stock here in his room.
At the same time, he only has 100 Pesos right now, which means he can't buy any food for a mukhang as well.
(AN: 1$ = 50 Pesos)
Immediately, Jay crossed out the mukhang choice and looked at the other two.
"Now then, which one should I do?"
While he was deep in thought, Jay suddenly paused and slowly said, "Wait, why am I even still choosing?"
"Both of these are easy anyway, can't I just do it both?"
Jay's eyes lit up.
"That's right! I could just do both of them!"
If he does both of them, that means he could have two rewards tonight!
Jay started to feel excited and a smile appeared on his face.
Standing up from his seat, Jay immediately started preparing for his live stream.
First, he took a shower to make himself fresh and clean.
Then after getting out of the shower, he picked a few comfortable but still presentable looking clothes to wear.
After getting all dressed up, Jay looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
"Nice, I still look good!" He narcissistically said.
Next, he sat back in front of the computer and opened the Baba Livestream website, the top live streaming website currently in Pearl country.
After a few maneuvers, Jay turned on the live stream.
However, after waiting for 10 minutes, there's still no one coming inside the live stream room.
Seeing that, Jay just sighed, "I almost forgot because of my excitement. No one actually really watches me."
Shaking his head, Jay started having thoughts of turning off the stream.
But just then, somebody finally entered the room.
[BabaViewer111 entered the room]
Noticing that, Jay immediately straightened himself and smiled at the camera.
"Hey, hello, thank you for coming here!" he said.
[BabaViewer111: Hello! What do you do here, host?]
When Jay saw that question, he said, "Uh, I just do things here and there. Well, since you're the first person here today, how about I sing for you?"
[BabaViewer111: Okay. Let me hear you sing then!]
Jay smiled and cleared his throat.
"E-Ehem! Okay, let's start."
Taking a deep breath, Jay opened his mouth and started singing.
For tonight, Jay also thought about what he's going to sing beforehand.
That's why when he said he would sing, he didn't even waste any time to think.
It's one of the top hit songs currently in Pearl Country.
Title, The Rise.
The next second, Jay's voice sounded in his room.
"Oh~ I will rise above."
"No matter how hard, no matter what blocks my road."
"I will push through and get on top."
"You will see, I will succeed!~"
…
Jay sang for a while and when it ended, he was panting, looking like he exhausted all the air in his lungs.
However, he still kept his smile, looked at the screen and asked, "So…haa… how was it?"
There was silence for a while until the comment appeared.
[BabaViewer111: Uh… well, your singing is… unique.]
Seeing the comment, the smile on Jay's face became stagnant.
Admittedly, Jay is aware that he doesn't have any singing ability.
He has a deep voice that should sound calming when he sings, but because he doesn't know how to sing, it ends up in chaos.
This results in an almost comedic singing of his because he still tries his best.
This is why Jay actually doesn't sing at all.
However, thinking that this is all for getting the achievement from the Cube, he still steeped his resolve and went for it.
…
Shaking his head, Jay's smile went back to normal and said, "Is that so? Hahaha, I actually know that I don't have singing talent."
He laughed it off and started talking about random things with his sole viewer.
After a while, BabaViewer111 said,
[BabaViewer111: Host, I have to go now. I will come back again if I see your live!]
"Oh, is that so? Thank you for staying with me!"
Jay smiled at the camera and waved his hand until his viewers went back to zero.
