A user named Chris on the adult website CamSoda wanted some companionship while he played the campaign mode on Elden Ring to completion, which can last over 40 hours. So he paid one of his favorite adult cam models $20,160 to join him on his adventure. The two streamed the game while they played for over 40 hours, finally beating the game after a marathon session.

The model 37-year old model, Charley Hart, had never done anything like that before, but says she had a really good time streaming their gameplay.

“It was something I’ve never done before,” Hart said. “I didn’t fully grasp how long 40 consecutive hours is. It takes a lot of stamina, in more ways than one. But Chris and I really hit it off at the onset and it was fun. We celebrated once we completed the campaign like we won a championship. It was a nice accomplishment.”

Chris the blogger was also happy with the experience. “I usually play campaigns by myself in my boxer briefs and overload on carbs (pizza, fast food, etc.) while chugging energy drinks,” he said. “It was nice to have Charley alongside me as I traversed ‘The Lands Between.’ We got to know each other quite intimately and connected on a deeper level. I really appreciated her companionship. I look forward to hopefully streaming with her again when the next big game is released.”
