Volume 1, Chapter 23: Six-Player Game
"I lost? Then let me show you the dance I just learned."
Lin Hang, wearing a white shirt today, played a dance track. He quickly moved to the rhythm, thrusting his hips, twisting his waist, and tearing open his shirt to reveal his abdominal muscles.
Yu Suisui covered her mouth in excitement, bringing her face close to the screen, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
[(Mod) Jiuli: Tone it down, little sweetheart, your eyeballs are about to pop out.]
Yu Suisui coughed in embarrassment. "No way! It’s clearly because the babies in my livestream wanted to see it."
[(Mod) King: You contradictory little kid.]
[(Mod) Wanfeng: I’ve seen right through everything.]
[Sangyou: Oh yeah, it’s definitely what we wanted to see.]
[SoManyFish: The Little Wheat Ears have already seen right through you.]
[I am a mature Little Wheat Ear now; I must learn to take the blame myself.]
Yu Suisui, though lacking conviction, spoke defiantly. "What are you talking about? I’m a pure and decent girl!"
[(Mod) Jiuli: Right, right, little sweetheart is a pure and decent little girl.]
[(Mod) Wanfeng: You’re drooling, go wipe it off.]
Yu Suisui shifted her gaze, looking around guiltily. "No I’m not! Brother Wanfeng is framing me!"
[(Mod) King: ...]
[King gifted the streamer Diamond Carnival *3]
"Thank you, King! You’re so generous!"
"Since King covered the 'medical expenses,' all the Little Flying Heroes from Lin Hang’s room, please head over to Sui's stream and give her a follow."
After Lin Hang spoke, many fans from his room flocked to Yu Suisui’s stream to follow her and light up their fan badges.
[Hehe, this is my second home.]
[May the friendship between the Princess and our Hangzi last forever.]
[Princess, hang out with our Hangzi more often, it’s always so fun.]
"Want to play another round, Sui?"
[Rose Duke Xianyin entered the livestream.]
[Xianyin: Sui, do you have time later? I’m setting up a match.]
"When? Sister Xianyin, Brother Lin Hang just asked me to play another round."
[Xianyin: Hangzi is there too? Then let’s all do it together. I’ll invite you both.]
"Brother Lin Hang, Sister Xianyin says we should play together."
"That works, invite me then."
Xianyin’s PK invitation connected. Once linked, Yu Suisui realized this PK was quite different; there were many people, six in total, including herself and Lin Hang.
A male streamer with a 3D anime avatar spoke first.
Y. Jiu Jiu: "Yan Suisui? Hello. I’ve heard that you’re the rising star of Qimao; your big brothers are really powerful."
Another male streamer, Xia Bufan, who sported dog ears and a 'boy-next-door' style, paused when he saw Yu Suisui’s face before striking a pose. "Sister Suisui, you are way too cute."
Another male streamer named Sanqi, dressed in casual wear, smiled without speaking and immediately set his score bar—1 million points.
[Damn, Xianyin is really good to the Princess, bringing her to play in a lobby like this.]
[Ahhh, it’s Jiu Jiu’s pretty little fox!!]
[Holy crap, isn't Sanqi the one who took first place in last year's annual carnival? He hit over three thousand carnivals.]
[And Jiu Jiu, the pillar of the Yuyin Pavilion voice chat room.]
[Xia Bufan is also a big shot; his sister is fierce.]
[Sister Xianyin is truly kind, taking our Princess to see the world.]
[Sangyou: That just goes to show we have the points, otherwise who would take us to play?]
"Hello everyone." Yu Suisui greeted them, looking bewildered.
Sanqi: "What do you say? Let’s verify our capital first. Match my score; those who can't should voluntarily back out."
Jiu Jiu laughed. "Brother San is showing us his strength right off the bat, throwing a million right in my face."
Xia Bufan also laughed loudly in his stream. "Teacher Jiu Jiu, do you think your sister isn't up to it? Are you getting cold feet over a million points?"
The male streamers chatted recklessly and brazenly in their streams, laughing quite arrogantly.
Sanqi kept his smile. "Is a million really that high?"
Sanqi: "If you can’t even hit a million, it just shows your strength isn't enough. Is there any point in staying for this match?"
Xia Bufan: "Enough talk. Isn't it just a million? I accept. I’ll take on the five of you. Who objects?"
Xianyin was the first to refuse. "I object. My brothers are the first to disagree."
Y. Jiu Jiu: "I object too. Let's verify the capital; then we'll decide how to play."
The capital verification round began quickly, and everyone present reached one million points.
[Help, it’s a big streamer lobby, our Princess is trembling.]
[No need to tremble at all, our big shots have the strength to back it up.]
"Everyone has the means. Capital verified, rules set, reconnecting."
Everyone backed out, leaving Yu Suisui in a daze. Before she could recover, Xianyin’s invitation arrived again.
Sanqi set the million-point bar again, pushing the score to a climax. "Anyone want to chase me?"
Xia Bufan adjusted his glasses and made an internationally friendly gesture. "I’ll chase. Ranran, my wife, wives, let's hit them! I want the right to speak this round!"
[Xia Ranran gifted the streamer Apollo’s Radiance *20] (30,000 Cat Coins)
[Susu gifted the streamer Echoes of Voice *16] (30,000 Cat Coins)
Xia Bufan’s sister was very supportive, catching up and hitting the million-point mark again.
Xianyin couldn't sit still either, standing up and twisting her waist coquettishly. "Yeye, Zeze, I want a million too! Push them over!"
[Changye gifted the streamer World of Ten Thousand Flowers *26] (30,000)
[Fuze gifted the streamer Rolls-Royce Phantom *12]
They went another round, and all six remained at the million mark. Jiu Jiu suggested another verification, but Sanqi shook his head, saying they couldn't verify anymore for fear of being taken away by the platform officials.
"Then how do we play?" Xianyin asked.
"There are six of us. Let’s play a three-round points system. The first place gets 12 points, decreasing by two each rank. The top three decide the rules, and the bottom three lose their right to speak—purely for the suckers. Any problems?" Sanqi quickly laid out the rules.
"According to the rules, I’m first, Yan Suisui is second, and Bufan is third. We three will decide the rules. I’ll set the first round: 5 minutes of 'Sunglasses' support count."
They quickly agreed on the rules for all three rounds. Yu Suisui was at a disadvantage for support counts, so her chances of taking first were slim; she would likely end up in the bottom three.
Her big brothers discussed and decided to go for the total vote count, where they had the most advantage. So, they set the second round for total votes, and the third round, Xia Bufan set for the top 5 plus the top 1 total votes over 10 minutes.
Sanqi counted down, and the PK bar opened immediately.
Except for Yu Suisui, the others were veteran streamers who had been broadcasting for a long time, and their fans were very cohesive; the sunglasses count rose rapidly.
Yu Suisui knew she couldn't rely solely on her brothers in a lobby like this, so she started calling for votes earnestly.
All three sent out 30,000 Cat Coin five-minute lucky bags, with the instruction to enter "Sunglasses support count, lend a hand if you can" to participate.
"Babies, can you help Sui with the sunglasses support count? Thank you."
[Sangyou: Little Wheat Ears, it's time to act! It's just the price of a milk tea.]
[SoManyFish: The big brothers have always been at the front; it’s time for the Little Wheat Ears to strike too.]
[I can't afford the big gifts, but I can definitely afford sunglasses.]
[Charge, beauties, let’s get points for the Princess.]
Yu Suisui didn't expect so many people to support her; the number of babies in her stream grabbing the sunglasses was surprisingly high.
She had already braced herself for last place, but to her surprise, her ranking was unexpectedly high.
