Volume One, Chapter 29: Striking a Balance-A streamer fofa faz charme e o magnata já está rendido(Distante)

"I'm not very good at this, unlike your Brother Xiaofeng, who is quite skilled. Sweetheart, why don't you carry me?"

"You still have the nerve to say you're not good? You're a grown man, have you no shame? If you're bad at the game, practice more!"

Sitting across from Yu Yansui, Zong Qiaoqiao gave her a playful wink and a smirk that was incredibly mischievous.

Yu Yansui took a deep breath. "Then I choose Brother Suozhi..."

"Baby, I'm scared! I was just putting on a brave face earlier because I didn't want you to worry. Come with me."

Outside the screen, Zhao Wanyun scooped a spoonful of watermelon into her mouth. As the heroine of a "harem" novel, the benefits of transmigrating into the book were becoming quite apparent now.

Watching men fight for favor was just so entertaining. Fight! Keep fighting!

"Then I choose Brother Xiaofeng..."

"Sweetheart, I'm really not good at this. Didn't you say you'd carry me?"

Yan Huaifeng: "Not good at it, my foot! I can see your level isn't low at all. An output player over level 80 needs a support player to carry them?"

Zong Qiaoqiao finally couldn't help but poke Yu Yansui, asking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Who are you choosing, sis?"

Yu Yansui pushed her away. "You're still laughing? What should I do?"

"What else can you do? It's just two red strings; I believe you can do it..."

Yu Yansui was annoyed and backhanded Zong Qiaoqiao with a slap on the back that sounded especially loud.

"Ouch!" Zong Qiaoqiao covered her mouth. "You vicious woman, you're really ruthless."

Announcement: Warning! Warning! Two minutes remaining. Players, please form your teams and exit the wedding hall immediately.

Xinghe Wangbei: "Stop arguing. We don't have much time left."

Zhao Wanyun: "Good luck, you guys. Little Star and I have already formed a team and are heading out. We'll wait for you at the village entrance."

The drama was certainly fun, but the game was more important. How hard could it be to level up once you were already SSS+? She didn't want to add any trouble to her plate.

"Stop arguing! I'm not choosing anyone! There's no rule saying we have to pair up as men and women anyway. I'm going with Qiaoqiao."

In the end, no matter how much the two men protested, Yu Yansui turned a deaf ear and was determined to pair up with Zong Qiaoqiao.

Zong Qiaoqiao: *Girl, you really know how to balance the scales.*

Once the teams were locked in, a red string appeared, binding the hands of each pair. Yu Yansui and Zong Qiaoqiao began to seriously navigate the obstacles to exit the wedding hall.

That left only Yan Huaifeng and Li Suozhi, looking at each other with mutual disdain.

Yan Huaifeng: "Come on, go left! Where are you going? Do you even know how to play?"

"Can't you see for yourself? Ping Sheng Bu Wan and the others already cleared it by going right."

"The route for this dungeon changes! Listen to me!"

The two argued as they played, and soon the time ran out before they could escape.

Announcement: Due to the failure of the entire team to pass through the wedding hall, the Ghost Bride has successfully emerged from her coffin. The dungeon difficulty has been upgraded. Please defeat the Ghost Bride to clear the stage.

The players who had already cleared it: Speechless.

Yu Yansui: "Brother Xiaofeng, Brother Suozhi, can't you two just get along and stop fighting?"

Yan Huaifeng: "It's all because that Li-dog won't follow orders!"

Li Suozhi was amused by Yan Huaifeng's unreasonable behavior. "It's because your orders are always wrong, okay?"

Zhao Wanyun: "Can you two brothers stop fighting? Can we just play properly? I need this first-clear reward."

Under the warning, the two finally stopped their elementary school bickering and began to focus on the dungeon.

Announcement: Congratulations to the "You Yan Suisui" team for being the first to clear the Nine Streams Village hidden dungeon. Time elapsed: 32.12 minutes. This team has been recorded in the Hall of Fame. Players may visit the Hall of Fame to pay tribute!!!

Zhao Wanyun: "That was the most painful dungeon I've ever played. I'm not playing with you guys next time. I'm terrified."

Zong Qiaoqiao: "Seconded. Can you guys just stop doing dungeons? Go play the 3v3 arena; that suits you better."

Yu Yansui wailed, "No! Are you going to shatter our little boat of friendship?"

Zhao Wanyun and Zong Qiaoqiao replied in unison with deadpan expressions, "Yes."

Yu Yansui: o(╥﹏╥)o

After finishing the dungeon, the group dispersed.

SWT. Chengxing's Livestream Room

[Awesome! SWT got another orange-tier weapon. Isn't first place in the Global Autumn Tournament a sure thing now?]

[SWT is definitely going to win the World Championship.]

[This girl's Qingyin character is way too strong!]

[As expected of a support player from a major guild.]

[The top-ranked Jiuge in the server is just insane. Damn, the pure magic Jiuge's damage output is actually third, even higher than Taihua.]

[I'm not saying this to be mean, but there's no need to hype it up. She's not that strong.]

[This whole run was thanks to the three male damage dealers. The three female supports just rode the coattails to victory.]

[Can girls really play that well? They must have hired professional boosters.]

[The little "fairy boy" above is so salty. Is it that hard to admit female players are good at games?]

[Stop with the gender wars, for heaven's sake.]

[Stop arguing! This is professional player Chengxing's stream. If you don't want to learn techniques, get out.]

[Please pay attention to SWT's second-string damage dealer, Chengxing, thank you.]

Sheng Chengxing cleared his throat. "Alright everyone, that's it for today's stream. I'm logging off."

Ignoring the pleas from the stream, Sheng Chengxing closed the broadcast and took off his headphones.

"That Qingyin player is pretty good."

"Brother Guiyi, you walk without making a sound. You scared me to death."

Han Guiyi: "You're not a child, how can you be scared by that? When you have time, go ask the person you ran the dungeon with for the orange weapon that dropped. We'll need it for the Autumn Tournament."

"I'm not sure if I can get it, but I'll go ask Sister Xiaowan later."

"Fine."

A day passed in the game. The next day, Yu Yansui reached out to Xianyin.

[Xianyin: Suisui, have you ever filled in for someone else's stream?]

[Suisui: No, why?]

[Xianyin: A punishment requires you to substitute for a stream. Of course, no face reveal, just voice, since she's a virtual streamer.]

She hadn't tried a voice-only stream before; maybe it was worth a shot.

[Suisui: Sure.]

[Xianyin: Just a heads-up, the streaming time for the person you're covering for conflicts with your own.]

[Suisui: I've already asked for leave from my fans in the group.]

[Xianyin: I've had her add you. Her name is Sweetheart Berry.]

[Suisui: (^o^)/~ Okay.]

[Sweetheart Berry: Thanks for covering for me, baby! (bowing emoji)]

[Suisui: You're welcome. Any special instructions?]

[Sweetheart Berry: There's one extra condition compared to your normal streams: if someone sends a gift and requests a song, you have to sing it.]

[Sweetheart Berry: I have a fixed gift list pinned in my stream. It says which gift corresponds to which action. You can adjust accordingly when the time comes.]

[Suisui: Got it, I understand.]

[Sweetheart Berry: Thanks, baby! (kiss emoji)]

Sweetheart Berry's Livestream Room

[They're here, they're here.]

[Why is someone already on the mic as soon as the stream starts today?]

[Berry baby!]

Seeing that a fair number of people had joined, Sweetheart Berry explained on the mic, "Babies, Berry has something to attend to today, so I've asked a friend to cover the stream and keep the hours up. Please be patient with her, everyone."

[Don't go, Berry!]

[What am I supposed to do if I can't hear you sing, Berry?]

"Please be patient, everyone. I'm heading off now." After settling the arrangements, Sweetheart Berry left the stream.

"Hello, little blueberries! I'm Suisui, and I'll be keeping you company tonight!"

[So sweet! I don't feel as sad anymore.]

[Berry, don't come back.]

[Great! Welcome!]

[Clapping, welcome Suisui.]

[Clap clap clap]

[Welcome Suisui, clap clap clap]

"Suisui has received your warm welcome! Let's have a great time together."

"I'm not sure how Berry usually does it, so I'll just go with my own style for now! Babies, let's get to 10,000 likes and I'll sing for you."

Yu Yansui hummed a tune softly in the stream, waiting for the likes to hit 10,000.

"That was fast! Here is 'A Chu Girl' for you all."
