Almond received an apology and a reward from the game company.0

— A gift set??0

— I wonder what they’ll give him LOL0

— Good to see them quickly taking responsibility0

"… That's great. They’ll even send a gift," Almond nodded and acknowledged everything while feeling that something was off. "It feels like they're treating me very differently."0

The perceptive Almond realized that the company’s attitude had significantly changed.0

"Is it because I'm a streamer?"1

He initially thought it was because of his streamer status. Perhaps they were giving him special treatment, which could lead to issues later on.0

However, that was an unnecessary worry. In reality, it was because of the national competition. The national team had marked Almond, so the company couldn't treat him casually anymore.1

One would spot such comments if they looked closely at the chat.0

— These guys are just pandering because he's a world-class streamer. It's because he might participate in the national competition.1

— The national competition is huge in this game.2

— If they had been this servile just for his fame, this game wouldn't have been in such a state LOL.1

Almond finally understood after reading...0
