The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 49
Chapter 49
The voice connection opened, and Entertainment King’s face was as dark as ink after losing the round.
“I didn’t expect you guys to actually win that one. But don’t get ahead of yourselves. This last round… you’re definitely going to lose.”
He estimated that the three opposing streamers had very few points left to give. If he managed to ‘steal the tower’ at the last second of the third round, it would be easy to turn the tide.
Banana Pie mocked him, “Your ego is bigger than your athlete’s foot. Did you already forget how you lost the last round?”
Wanwan’er smiled and said, “I really admire Brother Wang! If only I had a fraction of your confidence.”
Listening to the two of them deliberately provoke him, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn’t hold it back and let out a sudden “pfft” of laughter.
As Jiang Zhouzhou’s laughter came through the headset, Entertainment King’s face turned from black to a shade of sickly green.
[Dian: Classic. The first two were just mocking him, but when it came to the third… bam, she goes straight for the ultimate move-pure ridicule.]
[Chenguang is a Dog: Even though she didn’t say a word, it spoke volumes.]
[I already told you, this is congee made from black-hearted century eggs.]
[Who says this century egg is black? This century egg isn’t black at all!]
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the Danmaku and immediately defended herself. “Nonsense! Don’t slander me! I wasn’t ridiculing him… I just thought it was funny.”
[Don’t explain, we all understand.]
[So, what’s the difference between ‘ridiculing’ and ‘finding it funny’ here?]
Looking at that comment, Jiang Zhouzhou muttered softly, “It doesn’t seem like there’s much of a difference.”
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: …]
[Hahahahahahaha!]
[Host, be honest, are you doing this on purpose?]
[Please stop talking, Old Wang’s expression is about to shatter.]
Using the softest tone to say the most heart-stabbing words, all while maintaining an innocent, simple-minded look-it was a lethal combination.
Entertainment King’s mouth twitched repeatedly. If looks could kill, his eyes would have been daggers stabbing straight through the screen.
Banana Pie’s shoulders were shaking with laughter, but she didn’t forget to maintain their momentum. “There’s one round left. Just wait to do your punishment in your underwear!”
Entertainment King gritted his teeth. “I’m throwing that right back at you. You guys can look forward to doing the dog crawl in the hallway!”
With that one sentence, the atmosphere in the stream snapped back to a state of mutual hostility.
Banana Pie didn’t bother wasting any more breath on him and directly started the third PK.
[Big Banana gifted Banana Pie Luxury Cruise * 1] (5,000 Fish Balls)
[AAA gifted Banana Pie Super Rocket * 1] (1,000 Fish Balls)
[Love Broadcast Wanwan gifted Wanwan’er Knight’s Protection * 1] (1,314 Fish Balls)
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Romantic Lover * 1] (1,999 Fish Balls)
As the third PK began, although the gift effects continued to flash across the screen, it was obvious that the Health Bars on both sides weren’t moving as aggressively as before.
Entertainment King’s Health Bar gradually began to fall behind, and cold sweat started to bead on his forehead.
“My Righteous Fathers… I mean… Dads, my dear Dads, you have to lend a hand this round! Look at how slowly the gifts are coming in on the other side; they’re clearly out of points! Dads, send a Rocket if you have one, a Sports Car if you can. Whether we can make these three broads do the dog crawl… it all depends on you.”
He campaigned hard for votes, but the effect was minimal.
[Has Something: Like I’d believe you. You’re a money-loser; you lost so miserably last round.]
[One Salty Fish: Already bankrupt. It’s no use even if you call me Grandpa.]
[Accept your fate, Old Wang! You’re destined to stand at the entrance of your neighborhood in your underwear and shout three times: ‘I am a loser!’]
[Don’t worry, Old Wang. You’re losing your dignity, but at least you saved your Godfathers’ wallets.]
[My Words Are Harsh gifted Entertainment King Weak Chicken * 1] (19 Fish Balls)
[It’s Wu Not Pi gifted Entertainment King Rose * 1] (0.1 Fish Balls)
Looking at those cheap little gifts, the Entertainment King’s lips twitched even harder.
Jiang Zhouzhou’s livestream.
[Just got back from Old Wang’s room. His Big Brothers went way too hard in the first two rounds; they basically don’t have any points left now.]
[To put it bluntly, this is just an entertainment match. If the Big Brothers think it’s not worth it, they’ll definitely cut their losses in time.]
[This round is a guaranteed win.]
Reading the danmaku, Jiang Zhouzhou didn’t look any more relaxed.
“We can’t let our guard down. Maybe he’s trying to bait us into lowering our vigilance on purpose.”
[Dian: Classic. Oh? The streamer grew a brain?]
Jiang Zhouzhou: “…”
[Xiaomi Congee: Zhouzhou is absolutely right. They might be acting on purpose, making us think they really don’t have points left, then waiting until the last seconds to overtake us.]
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded, her gaze serious. “But if that’s the case… it also proves they really don’t have much left. That’s why they’re using this kind of method, waiting for a last-ditch fight.”
[Dang, I didn’t think it was that complicated.]
[Big Rice: So Old Wang is that sinister? I seriously thought his side was out of points.]
[Dian: So… should your Big Brothers crank up the difficulty a bit? @Sexy Mother Cockroach @Xiaomi Congee @Chenguang is a Dog]
Just from that one line of danmaku, it was obvious Dian was up to no good.
[Chenguang is a Dog: Emperor Dian @wrong person. I’m not the streamer’s Big Brother.]
[Chenguang is a Dog: But… I don’t mind helping crank up the difficulty.]
[Chenguang is a Dog gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Aircraft Carrier*10] (10000 Fish Balls)
[Dog Brother is so badass!]
[Xiaomi Congee gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Shark Spaceship*10] (19999 Fish Balls)
[Sexy Mother Cockroach gifted Century Egg and Pork Congee Shark Spaceship*10… *20…]
That sudden spike in the Health Bar startled the other three rooms.
Banana Pie couldn’t help messaging Jiang Zhouzhou privately.
Banana Pie: [Zhouzhou, how did your side suddenly Score Up this much?]
On camera, Jiang Zhouzhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: [My Big Brothers thought the Health Bar was rising too slowly, so they wanted to raise the difficulty.]
As an old hand on Shark, Banana Pie understood in an instant.
She didn’t reply, only making a small “666” gesture toward the camera.
On the other side, the Entertainment King was in the middle of giving it his all-until he saw Jiang Zhouzhou’s room suddenly Score Up by a ton, and he went slack-jawed.
This was the countermeasure he and the Big Brothers in his room had come up with in their fan group: as long as he didn’t Score Up, the other side surely wouldn’t want to push to a high score either. Then, at the countdown, his Big Brothers would tip together, winning this PK at the lowest cost.
But Jiang Zhouzhou’s room scoring that fiercely all at once completely wrecked their plan.
“Godfathers… our plan doesn’t seem like it’s going to work. Their Big Brother is too fierce. We can’t wait anymore… whatever points we have, put them in now. Sister Banana and Wanwan’s rooms definitely have no points left. Right now, the only one who can fight is that one Big Brother in the Century Egg and Pork Congee room-Lean Meat Porridge’s side. He can’t possibly hold out for long.”
The Entertainment King’s voice trembled slightly. What he’d thought was a sure-win situation had slipped completely out of his control. If he lost today, he’d have no face left on Shark.
[Has Something gifted Entertainment King Shark Spaceship*10… *20…] (19999 Fish Balls)
[Old Mao gifted Entertainment King…]
Seeing his Big Brothers finally start sending gifts, the Entertainment King couldn’t help letting out a long breath.
He’d genuinely been afraid they’d abandon him.
“Thanks, dear fathers. I knew you wouldn’t just ignore your son…”
In the blink of an eye, the PK Health Bar quickly evened out.
