The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
When the PK ended, Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish opened the voice chat.
She was panting heavily from the continuous singing and dancing she’d done to solicit votes.
Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish said self-deprecatingly, “It’s really true that comparison is the thief of joy. I sang and danced my heart out, but I still couldn’t beat you just sitting there chatting with people.”
She puffed out her cheeks, intentionally acting upset.
Jiang Zhouzhou thought she was incredibly cute. She smiled and said, “I just got lucky, but Maomao, your dance was very adorable.”
Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish’s eyes instantly went round. “Really? It’s a new dance I just learned. I’m tired of doing ‘thirst-trap’ dances, and the viewers in the stream are getting bored of them too, so I’m planning to change my style.”
Although Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish was a suggestive streamer, she had a very cheerful and likable personality.
“Changing your style is a good idea. Your outfit today suits you perfectly,” Jiang Zhouzhou said honestly.
“As expected, girls are the cutest creatures on earth. I love you the most, wifey Zhouzhou, mwah…”
Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish made a finger heart at the camera and then asked, “Have you thought of a penalty for me yet?”
Even though she was the one being punished, she looked expectant instead.
After all, Jiang Zhouzhou was a rookie streamer, and she was curious about what kind of silly penalty the newcomer would come up with.
Jiang Zhouzhou thought for a moment. “Hmm… then your penalty is to play rock-paper-scissors against a mirror until you win.”
Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish was about to agree when she suddenly realized the catch. She clutched her chest and mimed coughing up blood. “Pfft! You really are a femme fatale, using such a poisonous scheme to harm me…”
Jiang Zhouzhou grinned mischievously, feeling quite pleased with her little prank.
The stream PK closed, and Jiang Zhouzhou and Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish followed each other.
When she saw that Chenguang was also on her follower list, Jiang Zhouzhou hesitated for a moment but chose not to follow him back.
[I finally understand why wifey’s name is Century Egg and Pork Congee.]
[So cheeky.]
[Mischievous wifey is even cuter.]
Only then did Jiang Zhouzhou remember that the winner was supposed to send a gift to the loser as “medical expenses.” Just as she was about to click back into Maomao Doesn’t Eat Fish’s stream…
[Xiaomi Congee: I already sent the medical expenses for you.]
Jiang Zhouzhou said sheepishly, “Thank you!”
[Nanfeng has entered the stream.]
A user with a maxed-out wealth level entered the room, accompanied by a flashy entrance effect.
[Eh? Why did Nanfeng come to this stream?]
[This big shot was just helping Chenguang fight our Zhouzhou in the PK.]
Jiang Zhouzhou noticed the special effect and kept an eye on the chat.
“Nanfeng… who is that?”
She looked completely lost.
[A big shot who roams around various streams. He used to be very generous with tips, but for some reason, he’s become more and more low-key lately.]
[True. He hasn’t tipped anyone in months. He only gave Chenguang a cruise ship today.]
[He’s already left the stream, you don’t need to worry about him.]
[Xiaomi Congee: I heard he tipped a female streamer so much that she asked to meet in person. Nanfeng agreed, but after the meeting, he literally carried a train away overnight to escape.]
[Holy crap, for real?]
[Nanfeng: Spreading rumors right in front of the person involved?]
[Pfft, Hahahahaha!]
[Boss Xiaomi Congee got caught!]
[Is it awkward? Just asking.]
Even Jiang Zhouzhou, who was just watching the drama unfold, felt awkward for Xiaomi Congee.
[Xiaomi Congee: Uh, my bad. He didn’t carry a train away overnight; he bought a first-class plane ticket and ran.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: 66666, I believe this version.]
[Hahahahaha!]
[Xiaomi Congee: But I believe our streamer definitely won’t be a ‘death-on-sight’ in person.]
[Nanfeng: Yes, she won’t die, but you will.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Bro, I was wrong.]
Looking at the interaction between the two, Jiang Zhouzhou figured they must know each other in real life.
She scratched her head and said, “But I probably won’t be meeting fans in private. After all, everyone has their own lives in reality. If I had to meet fans, I’d be at a total loss.”
[I can tell, the streamer has social anxiety.]
[LOL, if you’re afraid of being a ‘catfish’ in person, just say so.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach has kicked Fried Tofu Dregs out of the livestream room.]
[It’s good for streamers to keep their distance from fans. After all, being a streamer is a high-risk profession.]
Jiang Zhouzhou’s eyes widened when she saw that last comment.
“Why… is it a high-risk profession?”
[The streamer really is too new; she doesn’t know anything.]
[Take that PK in the second to last round, for example. You were linked with Chenguang. Do you know why he likes making female streamers turn off their filters and remove their makeup?]
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head. She had previously thought it was just the man’s twisted sense of humor.
[Because there was a female streamer before who used such heavy filters and makeup to scam people for gifts that someone got carried away and blew their entire cancer treatment fund on her.]
[Before he died, he wanted to meet her one last time, but she refused.]
[But that fan had gifted so much that he’d managed to get her address when he sent her a present. He secretly went to her house just to get a glimpse of her, only to find out she was a woman in her forties. In a fit of rage, he stabbed her to death.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Yeah. He figured he didn’t have long to live anyway, so he might as well take her down with him.]
Listening to the fans’ explanation, Jiang Zhouzhou turned a bit pale. “If any of you want your gifts back, just say the word. Please, whatever you do, don’t come after me with a knife…”
[Xiaomi Congee: …]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Don’t worry, my life is worth more than that.]
[Hahahahahaha, the streamer really has a sort of… natural stupidity.]
[Nanfeng: 666]
[Xiaomi Congee: I can’t speak for others, but whatever I give you, you keep it.]
[He’s so real, I’m literally crying.]
[Are you going to do another PK, streamer?]
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head at the comment. “I don’t plan on doing any more PKs. Today is my first day streaming, and I really just wanted to see how it would go. I’m going to end the stream soon and spend some time learning more about how to be a streamer.”
[Xiaomi Congee: That’s fine. If you have questions, just ask me. I’m a night owl; I’m always around.]
Jiang Zhouzhou’s eyes flickered as she read the strangely familiar words.
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: If you want to stay in this industry, you definitely need to study up. Your current advantage is that you have no advantage. Just don’t learn that messy stuff and let it lead you astray.]
[The two Big Brothers on the leaderboard are acting like parents.]
[It’s too hard for new streamers to make it big. Nowadays, one in ten people is a streamer. But I have high hopes for Zhouzhou. There will definitely be a place for Zhouzhou among the top Shark streamers in the future.]
[Followed. I’m an OG fan from now on.]
Another wave of viewers followed Jiang Zhouzhou. Her follower count broke three hundred, and over fifty of them had claimed a Fan Badge.
Looking at the comments, Jiang Zhouzhou felt a sense of warmth and happiness.
She said softly, “Thank you all for following. You should all get some rest soon. Bye-bye~”
As the livestream room closed, Jiang Zhouzhou let out a long sigh of relief.
Even though she had only been live for half an hour, it had been incredibly rewarding.
She opened the account earnings in the backend. After the platform’s fifty-percent cut and taxes, she had nearly ten thousand yuan…
She checked it over and over again to be sure.
“Wooo! I finally have money!”
Tips on the Shark Platform could be withdrawn at any time, which gave her an immediate sense of security.
“But I can’t spend this money right away. I should use it to upgrade my streaming equipment and buy some props and things…”
Just as she was about to look up what kind of gear she needed, a few private messages popped up in the Shark backend.
[Xiaomi Congee: Add me on WeChat.]
[Xiaomi Congee: It’ll be easier to reach me.]
