Chapter 307: Chapter 307

The , a large-scale streaming project initiated by the top-tier streamer Dream and his crew, was now live.

Each content creator had their own unique RP (roleplay) setting, and although the server would eventually become lively, things were still relatively quiet in these early ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) days.

That was because the server used an invite-only system to prevent any possible issues.

With so many streamers gathered in one place, any controversy could quickly spiral out of control. So, for now, only so-called “verified” people were allowed in—public figures like celebrities, pro gamers, and major streamers.

[ Bored of mining? Then how about I tell you an old tale? Once upon a time, a crunchy choco chip and a soft choco chip lived together in the same house— ]

“Classic Diah. She’s great even on her own. Huh? You want me to say something to her? I’m an observer—I’m not allowed to talk. Mods can’t get buddy-buddy with streamers, you know? ...Though honestly, I kinda want to. Still can’t.”

From the perspective of the server staff, these “big fish” were the foundation for turning the into the chaotic, festival-like community it was meant to be.

The plan was to have verified streamers earn money through server content, then use that money to buy invites and bring in other verified users—a positive loop of curated growth.

Right now, Dream was live-broadcasting the gameplay of Diah, one of the server’s starting members, for exactly that reason.

After all, of all the content creators who had expressed interest in the , hardly anyone had a higher profile than Diah.

“I mean, come on—who’s going to top an actual celebrity?”

A few years ago, Dream and Daramji (the so-called “squirrel emperor of kids’ content”) had been considered the two titans of streaming. Because of that, Dream had many ties to Daramji’s Illusion Realm Project.

Dream was fully on board with the idea of bringing in members of Daramji’s crew and Illusion Realm to the .

In particular, he hoped that Ha-eun’s Diah and Da-yeon’s Hida would definitely join.

If these two highly talked-about figures actively played on the server, it would trigger a massive influx of new users, laying the groundwork for the server’s popularity.

The two of them had an entirely different level of fame—and if they were having fun, the “trickle-down” effect on the rest of the streamers would be huge.

Diah and Hida were crucial pillars in building the .

[ One day, the crunchy choco chip said to the soft choco chip: Hey, later, let’s— ]

“Alright, now let’s go check in on Hida. While the husband is mining, what’s the wife up to, I wonder~.”

The idea was to generate buzz through celebrities like Diah and Hida, and then fill the server with rising streamers who’d been invited by them.

So far, Dream’s operational vision for the was running smoothly.

It already had tons of content—mining, farming, fishing, building, RPG systems, boss raids, and more.

The ultimate goals of the starting members weren’t yet clear, but the server had more than enough potential objectives to drive their gameplay.

[ Hmm... wheat, sugarcane, strawberries, cocoa beans, pumpkins, watermelons... Why is there so much to farm? Did they write this list out properly? ]

“Whoa, look at the scale. Are you building a kingdom or something?”

Minecraft, after all, was a sandbox game famed for its near-limitless freedom.

And just like its name, the was a space where streamers could realize whatever dream they had.

Naturally, content for viewers was also part of the plan.

Things like donation-linked in-game effects, and a final-day special concert featuring streamers.

[ LUX_Hida has received a 100,000 won donation and is flying high into the sky! ]

“Oh, it’s working perfectly. Huh? Why didn’t she die from fall damage? You get 20 seconds of immunity after being launched. It’d be a little harsh to die right after getting a donation~.”

Dream’s goal was for the to become a true streamers’ festival, full of things to enjoy and watch.

If Diah, Hida, and all the other future participants could enjoy themselves all the way to the final day, he’d be more than happy.

[ LUX_Hida has received another 100,000 won donation and is flying even higher! ]

[ KYAAAAA!! How high is this going?! ]

“Oh wow, that’s super high. That’s a 5% chance event, and Hida just hit it. Lucky! Anyway, with that, the starter member tour is complete. I’ll sign off now. Drba~”

After ending the stream, Dream dove straight into preparations for the server’s final special concert.

The lineup was ridiculously stacked—so much so it barely even felt like a “streamer concert.”

“I had Diah (Ha-eun) and Hida (Da-yeon) in mind from the start, but... I didn’t think Song Hyunmin would actually show up.”

Having Ha-eun’s Diah lead the Illusion Realm crew in a concert was well within expectations.

Strictly speaking, getting a famous singer like Ha-eun to perform for zero appearance fee was already unreal. But since she was here as Diah, it kind of made sense.

But the fact that Ha-eun had gone out of her way to bring another singer?

And not just any singer, but an original Hallyu star—

A man who casually goes on world tours, the definition of “A precious guest in a humble place.”

“At home, he’s just a regular gamer... or so she said. But seriously—is this allowed?”

The fact that Ha-eun, who wasn’t even part of the server’s management, had stepped up to boost the server’s success...

Sure, it was based on the mutual understanding that a thriving server = a thriving Diah channel, but even so—it meant a lot to Dream.

Still, the scale of it was blowing his mind.

Even now, after talks about Song Hyunmin’s surprise concert had begun, it still didn’t feel real.

It was because of this that Dream reached out again—

And to Daramji Ji Hye-min, the one who managed the entire Illusion Realm.

[ I’m telling you, it’s not a bluff. You already got his contact info—why are you still doubting it? ]

“Noona, come on. Be honest—don’t you think it’s kinda unreal? Song Hyunmin, performing in a Minecraft concert? Who could imagine that...?”

[ You know that new song from the other day? The one Ha-eun did the feature on. She brought him here as a thank-you for that. So just focus on getting things ready. ]

“...Ha-eun is amazing, seriously...”

[ Took you long enough to figure that out. ]

“And you’re amazing for debuting her as a VTuber. You must’ve saved a country in your past life.”

[ ...Honestly, I still can’t quite believe it either. ]

While Dream and Ji Hye-min were still in talks about the ’s special concert lineup,

Ha-eun’s Diah was deep in an underground tunnel, digging away while chatting with her “Noeulies” in the stream chat about her ultimate goal.

“Diah has a dream. A big dream—to become the owner of the greatest dessert shop in the entire Dream Server!”

“Ah, the entire cotton candy building is the dessert shop. I’ll sell cotton candy, cake, macarons—every dessert imaginable!”

“Yeah, first I need to gather all the ingredients. Once I’ve got those, I’ll use the money I earn to build the cotton candy tower.”

[ eternalyg has d 10,000 won! ]

Isn’t it kind of abusive to make Hida do all the farming alone? This feels like elder abuse ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“If you’re gonna go there, telling a one-year-old to dig tunnels for cash is child abuse too. Checkmate!”

This kind of non-stop banter was how Diah kept the stream entertaining.

Since all viewers were seeing was her endlessly digging, she kept the chat alive with jokes to prevent boredom.

[ ㅇㅇ has d 1,000 won! ]

Aren’t you going to buy any invites?

“Oh, I will! I’m starting with Cream unnie. My goal is to invite all of Illusion Realm and make them work in my dessert shop.”

“Paychecks? What’s that? The dessert shop’s a way for us to make a living together. Ever heard of a ‘family-like company’?”

Just then, as Diah kept digging and hunting for profitable ores underground,

A ringtone rang out—a call from Hida, who was farming up on the surface.

“Yes~. It’s your wife~.”

From the other side of the call, Hida’s voice continued to come through the in-game phone item.

What began as a complaint about too much farming gradually turned into a full-blown marital spat.

[ When we got married, you said I wouldn’t even have to touch water! This marriage is a scam, a scam I tell you! ]

“Hey, how dare you raise your voice at your husband!”

[ Oh please. Weren’t you the one who promised to make me happy? Liar~ ]

Strictly speaking, this too was part of the entertainment.

RP (roleplay) was important in the , and this rural married couple RP was Ha-eun’s idea—with Da-yeon fully committing.

But then, as the bickering continued, Hida dropped a final warning:

[ You should be apologizing instead of yelling at me. Say you’re sorry! ]

“Wh-why should I?! Why would I?!”

[ Ho... oh. That’s how it is, huh? ]

Then, after a brief silence—ding.

[ Hida has d 100,000 won! ]

Say you’re sorry! Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

[ Are you sorry or not? SORRY OR NOT?! ]

“H-Honey! You can’t do this to your husband!!”

[ Hida has d 100,000 won! ]

[ LUX_Diah is soaring high again! ]

“AAAAAH!! I-I’M GONNA DIE !!”

[ Eheh~ Just say you’re sorry already! ]

“S-s-s... YOU CRAZY OLD WOMAN!”

[ ...Oh? You wanna go there? ]

[ Hida has d 100,000 won! ]

[ LUX_Diah is soaring again! ]

“AAARGHHH!! THIS IS TORTURE!!”

[ Are you sorry or not?! ]

“I-I’m sorry, honey! It’s all my fault...!”

“I-I love you, honey~! I’ll earn a lot of money and see you later~! I love you, love you~!”

[ Hida has d 100,000 won! ]

[ LUX_Diah is soaring once again! ]

“AAAAAAAAAAH! WHY NOW?!”

Click. Hida hangs up.

“...Why’d she get mad even after I apologized...?”

Ha-eun tilted her head, confused, then resumed her mining adventure.

She had no idea that aboveground,

Da-yeon was facedown in her soundproof booth, red-faced and completely flustered.
