The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 23
Chapter 23
Jiang Zhouzhou accepted the PK request. Her opponent this time was another female streamer.
“Hi there! Hello!”
The female streamer greeted Jiang Zhouzhou with a beaming smile. “The turtle on your face is actually quite cute. Was that a punishment from your last round?”
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled. “Yeah, I lost the previous PK.”
The female streamer suggested, “Then shall we do a Total Ranking battle for this round? Let’s keep the process simple: whoever has the lower score has to jog in place continuously. And for the loser… let’s stick with drawing a turtle on the face!”
Jiang Zhouzhou blinked, startled. “Another turtle?”
Was she overthinking things?
She couldn’t help but feel like this streamer had come prepared!
[Xiaomi Congee: Don’t worry, I’m here!]
[Another turtle? That’s definitely on purpose.]
[What’s there to be afraid of? They’re acting like our Zhouzhou is definitely going to lose.]
[The opponent is a somewhat well-known streamer, Diamond Four-Star level. But I checked her room, and she only has about a hundred viewers.]
Streamers in the Appearance Section usually didn’t have massive viewer counts, but the spending power of their Big Brothers and Big Sisters was top-tier!
The PK began.
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee a Luxury Cruise *1] (5,000 Fish Balls)
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee a Skyscraper *1] (8,888 Fish Balls)
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee a Shark Spaceship *1] (19,999 Fish Balls)
[Damn, Big Brother Xiaomi Congee is playing for keeps this time.]
[Even though it’s not my money, my heart still aches.]
[Over thirty thousand RMB just vanished like that.]
Although the opposing female streamer received some scattered gifts, her Health Bar was instantly crushed.
Jiang Zhouzhou hurriedly said, “Enough, enough! Baby Mizhou, you’re gifting too much.”
He had already spent over a hundred thousand today alone. Jiang Zhouzhou was genuinely afraid of shearing him bald in a single day.
[Xiaomi Congee: I’m going to guard this properly this time. Let’s see how they try to snipe me now.]
By now, Jiang Zhouzhou’s Total Ranking score had exceeded 300,000 points, while the opponent had barely over 1,000.
The female streamer stood up from her chair and began jogging in place.
“They shouldn’t be able to snipe us, right?”
She felt the lead was safe enough.
But Xiaomi Congee, having been burned once before, didn’t dare relax.
[Xiaomi Congee: We can’t let our guard down until the very last second.]
Seeing his serious and solemn attitude, Jiang Zhouzhou smiled. “Baby Mizhou, you don’t need to care so much about winning or losing. I really don’t mind.”
[Xiaomi Congee: I don’t care about winning or losing. I care about you.]
[Xiaomi Congee: I just don’t want you to be unhappy after losing.]
[He’s for real… I’m literally crying.]
[This is love~~~]
[Chenguang is a Dog: Wrong, this is clearly a simp.]
Seeing the Danmaku sent by Xiaomi Congee, Jiang Zhouzhou was momentarily stunned.
This was the first time Xiaomi Congee had been so blunt…
At this moment, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn’t help but ponder a question: what if one day… a Big Brother who frequently gifted her in the stream suddenly confessed his feelings? What should she do?
If she rejected him, she’d lose a Money-Bringing Boy.
But saying yes was impossible…
Jiang Zhouzhou understood her own identity and position; she didn’t want to get herself entangled in these kinds of money-for-affection dramas.
As Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish had said, a Big Brother’s novelty comes fast and goes just as quickly.
You only need to please them and encourage them to gift more while they are interested in you.
But when it comes to actual feelings, you must stay true to yourself.
Otherwise, losing both your heart and your dignity would be the beginning of a tragedy.
By now, the PK timer had entered its final countdown.
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee a Luxury Cruise *1]
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee a Luxury Cruise *2]
[Xiaomi Congee…]
As the PK time wound down, the notifications for Xiaomi Congee’s Luxury Cruises never stopped.
However, to everyone’s absolute shock…
She lost!
She lost this PK round too!
[Holy… shit.]
[The other side is way too good at sniping. We actually lost again.]
[I’m speechless. I thought this was a guaranteed win.]
[Big Brother Xiaomi Congee is probably going to go into seclusion after this.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Currently in seclusion.]
Jiang Zhouzhou’s score on the Health Bar stopped at 835,027.
The female streamer on the other side was 975630.
The PK lasted for five minutes. Having jogged for nearly the entire duration, the female streamer was panting heavily, but her smile was wide when she saw the sheer volume of gifts she had received.
“Oh, you guys are so mean,” she teased her audience. “You could have let me win easily, but you made me run for those extra five minutes. You’re so bad!”
After interacting with her viewers, she turned to Jiang Zhouzhou. “Since you lost, follow our agreed-upon punishment: Draw a Turtle!”
Across the screen, her eyes were fixed intently on Jiang Zhouzhou’s face, though her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Jiang Zhouzhou picked up the liquid eyeliner from her desk and drew a small turtle on the other side of her face.
Once she finished, Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly asked, “Excuse me… did someone intentionally ask you to PK with me?”
The other female streamer’s expression stiffened instantly. “No, it was just a random match.”
Without waiting for Jiang Zhouzhou to follow up, she abruptly disconnected the call.
[Did Zhouzhou notice something? Why did she ask that all of a sudden?]
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head. “It’s nothing. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.”
[Xiaomi Congee: Sulking…]
[Xiaomi Congee: Squatting in a corner and sulking…]
[Xiaomi Congee: Squatting in a corner, drawing circles, and sulking…]
Seeing the flood of Danmaku from Xiaomi Congee, Jiang Zhouzhou laughed. “Baby Mizhou, look at the new little turtle on my face. Isn’t my technique better than the last one?”
[Xiaomi Congee: Yeah, you’ve improved.]
[Hahahahaha, Zhouzhou doesn’t even care. Big shot Xiaomi Congee, stop being so dramatic.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Day one of missing Brother Cockroach.]
[Hahahahaha!]
[Xiaomi Congee: Let’s go again! I won’t feel right until I let you win once.]
He finally had a chance to show off on his own, and yet…
A ball of frustration was coiled inside him, making him incredibly irritable.
Jiang Zhouzhou understood how Xiaomi Congee felt. If she didn’t let him win once tonight, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep from pure annoyance.
“Alright! One last time. But this time, I’ll be the one to initiate the PK.”
The previous two PKs had made her suspicious. Recalling Xiong Tailang’s warning, she knew that someone as vindictive as Gaoshan wouldn’t let her off easily…
She suspected those two female streamers had been sent by Gaoshan.
The exact same punishment, the exact same Tower-Stealing Tactic.
She couldn’t be blamed for being suspicious.
Jiang Zhouzhou opened the PK options and selected a random match.
Soon, the PK was accepted.
The screen split in two. On the other side was a female streamer with very delicate features-so delicate, in fact, that they looked a bit fake. One could tell at a glance that her face was the product of significant financial investment.
Female Streamer: “Good evening. You’re a new streamer, right? I haven’t seen you before.”
Jiang Zhouzhou: “Yes, I’ve only been streaming for three days.”
The female streamer gave a bitter smile. “Only three days and your level is already this high? It looks like you have good luck and met a Big Brother willing to be your Guardian right from the start. I guess I’m in trouble this PK.”
Streamer levels on the Shark Platform used a monthly Contribution Points tier system: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, with five stars for each tier.
The early tiers were easy to reach, but once a streamer hit the Diamond level, the required donations increased significantly.
Jiang Zhouzhou was currently Diamond Three-Star. While that looked high, she was still a long way off compared to the famous veteran streamers.
The female streamer said, “Let’s compete on the total quantity of a specific gift. As for the loser’s punishment… just pin a Danmaku in your stream for a while.”
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded, having no objections.
Female Streamer: “Alright then. Let’s go with the Heart Bunny. We’ll see who receives the most Heart Bunnies.”
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Heart Bunny *1… *20… *50… ] (52 Fish Balls)
[Tomato and Egg Stir-fry gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Heart Bunny *5]
[Zhi Xiaoxi gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Heart Bunny *1]
[Chenguang is a Dog gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Heart Bunny *1]
This time, everyone wanted Jiang Zhouzhou to win. It wasn’t just Xiaomi Congee; the other viewers in the stream couldn’t help but start donating as well.
