The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 44
Chapter 44
Jiang Zhouzhou accepted the connection request. On the screen, Banana Pie’s face was covered in a chaotic mess of colors, and her expression was as miserable as could be.
“Zhouzhou, save me!”
Besides Banana Pie, there was another man on the split-screen.
He looked quite ordinary, but he stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes full of contempt.
“Sister Banana, have you really fallen that far? You’re actually calling a rookie streamer for backup?” the man said with a face full of mockery.
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the man’s profile. His name was Entertainment King, and he had over five million followers. He was a top-tier streamer with a Diamond Five Stars rank.
[Hiss, is this the first time Sister Banana has been bullied this badly?]
[She’s Shark’s Top Looks Streamer. With so many Big Brothers and Big Sisters in her corner, how did she get pushed around like this?]
[She must have hit a brick wall during the PK.]
[Entertainment King has been on a roll lately. He used to stream in the Gaming Section every day, but then he started doing Room Checks on Female Streamers. It attracted a lot of Big Brothers who love watching the drama.]
[Xiaomi Congee: He’s been obsessed with challenging Female Streamers from the Appearance Section to PKs lately because his punishments are brutal. He knows how to Put on a Show, and the Big Brothers love it.]
Streamers usually used PKs to boost each other’s KPIs, and there was a silent agreement not to demand overly harsh punishments.
This was especially true for streamers in the Appearance Section, who all relied on their looks for a living. Making someone’s face look hideous was an easy way to drive away their Big Brothers.
Having pieced together the situation from the danmaku, Jiang Zhouzhou said hesitantly, “Sister Xiangxiang, I don’t think I can help you…”
Only Xiaomi Congee was in her stream today. Relying on him alone would make it very difficult to win.
Banana Pie said, “Don’t worry, that bastard is getting cocky. He said he’d do a one-on-three and told me to find two helpers. Don’t be humble-your Brother Nanfeng and Brother Cockroach are so fierce. If I find one more person who can Score Up, we can definitely crush him.”
Seeing how confident she was, Jiang Zhouzhou had to pour cold water on her hopes. “But Brother Nanfeng and Brother Cockroach aren’t here today.”
Banana Pie fell silent. “…”
When Entertainment King heard that Jiang Zhouzhou’s heavy hitters were absent, his face wrinkled up as he broke into a wide grin. His gloating voice was particularly grating.
“Hahaha! Sister Banana, you’re too unlucky. You didn’t even check if their Big Brothers were online before asking for help? But we have a deal-once you’ve picked your helpers, you can’t change them.”
In the danmaku, Jiang Zhouzhou’s fans grew annoyed by Entertainment King’s arrogant attitude.
[Big Rice: I have that helpless feeling of wanting to reach through the screen and slap someone.]
[Is this guy a burlap sack? Because he’s so full of himself.]
[Xiaomi Congee: If we’re going to fight, let’s fight. Who’s afraid?]
[Xiaomi Congee: We’re taking this PK.]
[Cough, I don’t want to discourage the great Xiaomi Congee, but do you remember that time you let Zhouzhou lose three rounds in a row?]
[I Love Drinking Porridge: I don’t get it. Why are our Big Brothers always missing whenever there’s a PK like this?]
[Xiaomi Congee: ???]
[It can’t be helped. For rich people, time is money. They won’t waste their time watching livestreams like we do.]
Jiang Zhouzhou had initially intended to refuse, but after hearing Entertainment King say that the team couldn’t be changed, she could only look at Banana Pie with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry, Sister Xiangxiang. I might end up dragging you down.”
Banana Pie waved her hand. “No, this is on me. I’m the one who dragged you into this mess. But don’t worry, Zhouzhou. This is three against one-we won’t necessarily lose.”
Not long after, Banana Pie pulled in another helper.
Jiang Zhouzhou recognized this person too; it was Wanwan’er.
Banana Pie was unaware of the friction between Jiang Zhouzhou and her. Since Wanwan’er also had plenty of Big Brothers backing her and boasted over three million followers, Banana Pie had pulled her in as a helper.
Wanwan’er: “Oh, Sister Xiang actually took the initiative to invite me!”
Seeing Jiang Zhouzhou there, Wanwan’er raised an eyebrow in surprise, but she didn’t say anything.
[Sister Banana probably didn’t do it on purpose…]
[Definitely not on purpose. Tang Butian has retired from the scene, and there aren’t many big streamers in the Appearance Section who can Score Up right now. Wanwan’er’s Big Brothers are pretty heavy hitters. Wasn’t Gaoshan her permanent Big Brother back then?]
[True, but it’s still pretty awkward.]
[New fan here, what’s the situation?]
[Big Rice: Shh, I’ll explain later. After all, Wanwan’er and Zhouzhou are on the same side for now. We can’t start any drama.]
Jiang Zhouzhou kept an eye on the danmaku and said in a small voice, “Thank you, Rice Baby is so kind.”
As more people flooded into the stream, she sometimes missed certain comments, but luckily, her fans were consciously maintaining order for her.
With the team assembled, Banana Pie said, “Wanwan, the three of us are going against one this round. You better not hold anything back! Zhouzhou and I are counting on you.”
Wanwan’er looked at Banana Pie’s unsightly face, covered her mouth, and laughed. “Sister Xiangxiang, you’re being a bit unfair. It wasn’t enough that you got bullied yourself; you had to drag the two of us down with you.”
Having been called out, Banana Pie pouted and spread her hands helplessly. “I had no choice! You two have the highest scores, so I had to come to you for help!”
Banana Pie continued, “And… even if I didn’t look for you, Brother Wang would have eventually challenged you to a PK. You might have ended up losing even worse than me. It’s better if the three of us give him a good thrashing together.”
She pumped her fist at the air. Combined with her multi-colored face, she looked rather comical.
Entertainment King sneered. “Sister Banana, you sure talk big. It seems you don’t take the Big Brothers in my stream seriously at all!”
Banana Pie rolled her eyes. “Don’t try to stir up hate for me the moment you open your mouth. Right now, I just want to tear you apart and get my revenge.”
Entertainment King: “In that case, let’s make it a best-of-three this time.”
As soon as he spoke, Banana Pie’s brow furrowed into a knot.
Banana Pie: “Three rounds? You’re being quite ambitious!”
[Xiaomi Congee: Tsk, Old Wang is indeed getting a bit greedy.]
[The Looks Streamers he usually connects with have points, but they can’t compare to big streamers like Sister Banana. Because of that, his Big Brothers’ spending doesn’t usually peak; it’s hard for them to even hit a million. Today, by connecting with Sister Banana, his Big Brothers are Scoring Up like crazy. This dog has finally tasted some sweetness.]
[Streamers live for this. They’ll find any way to dig money out of the pockets of Big Brothers and Big Sisters once they get the chance.]
[Chenguang is a Dog: We’re doing three rounds. Does the simp have enough on his card to swipe? @Xiaomi Congee]
[Xiaomi Congee: Shut up.]
[Should we call Brother Cockroach and Brother Nanfeng? Oh right, and our Ye Zi baby.]
[Ye Zi comes and goes like a ghost. Probably can’t call him over.]
Lin Chen watched the danmaku scrolling by. Originally, he had wanted to message Nanfeng privately, but he wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination…
He felt that Nanfeng’s attitude toward Jiang Zhouzhou was somewhat ambiguous.
Driven by his own selfish motives, Lin Chen deleted the messages he had intended to send, one by one…
With him here as a Guardian, he definitely wouldn’t let Zhouzhou lose this time!
