The Halster
I’m sweeping the deck on a cruise ship when a rich man comes to me.He stops me and say,”Hey,budy,you are younger than me but what you are doing like an old man.”
I look at him and take him to a table.”Well,Do you want to know why I am just 30 years old but I have to do this?”
The rich man nods and sits down
Although I have said this tragedy many times,I also insist to tell it to people who interest in it.
“Mmm----Now,back to my 18 years old,when I was a good student in the university. Yes,in my salad days.
During that time,Ihad been a pancalce people.I browsed many kinds of webpages,but I just want to study the knowledge.
Then,there came the photoboming!”
“what?The photoboming?”
The rich man seemed very confused.
“Yes,the photoboming.When I browed the webpages,an animation image always appeared before my eyes.
I knew,it was just an advertisement.But,many times ago,I clicked the advertisement and came to a live broadcasting room.”
“I guess she is a VTuber(Virtual Youtuber),right?”The rich man says
“Of course.She had beautiful vvoice and lovely face,and,the most imporatant,she had great popularity.
I fell in love with her just because she had attractive smize.From then on,I watched her broadcasting every nights.This sounds absurd,but it reflects the crazy of the Internet
One day,I thought I had been her die-hard fan,but she paid no attention to me,That night,I was like a totty man and rewarded her forty thousand dollars!”
“Are you crazy?40000 dollars? You were just a colleage students!”
The rich man can’t believe his ears.
“Yes,40000 dollars,I borrowed these money from the bank.I was afraid to tell my parents and my university life became a completely mass.To have meals,I worked at resturants around my School.But this shorted my study time.
Two days later, after I opened my computer ,I surprisedly saw a new friend request.It was the
VTuber! I chated with her and I had the energy to keep my life on.More important,from her energetic words,I pulled myself together,
I worked harder and study diligently,but I never stopped watching her broadcasting and rewarding her
After a semesber,I paid off debts basically.In a broadcasting,I surprisedly found the VTuber lived in the same county as my parents
I even wanted to find the VTuber whimsically!I came to my hometown at the Christmsas,At night, my mother let me buy some eggs.
You never know how despair I was feeling.When I passed my neighbor,a 46 years old fat man,I saw him wearing mation catcher and speaking in front of the computer.
The character appeared in his computer was the one I watched every day.
The VTuber was my neighbor.What a funny joke! I was the stupid joker.
From then on, I lost my life meaning and gave up my school.I have no text social and have to do add jobs to survival.”
The old man stoods up and asks me
“what do you call a deer with no eye?”
“sorry,man,I don’t know the answer.”
“No eye deer(No idea).This is a malapropism,I can’t give you help but wish you a good life.By the way,I should tell you the truth,I am the boss of the VTuber’s company.”
I gaze the rich man walks away,suddenly, I come up with an idea.Maybe I should hide in a halster and be a VTuber.
