Volume One, Chapter 9: The Four-Player Showdown (Part 2)

After turning off the microphone, Yu Yansui picked up her phone and started babbling, but no sound came out.

[Wan Feng (admin): What are you doing, babbling away like that?]

[King (admin): Hmm?]

[Sang You (admin): What’s the princess up to?]

Yu Yansui played a rhythm-heavy background track and sweetly pleaded, “Please, Sister Youyou, I want a sports car, pretty please~”
“Please, Sister Yuyu, I want a plane, can I have one? Snuggle, snuggle~”
“Please, Brother Xiao Feng, I want a cruise ship, pretty please, muah~”
“Please, Brother King, I want the carnival, muah, muah~”
“Everyone in the stream, I want gifts, please help me climb the ranks, I don’t want to lose~”

[Sang You (admin): Stop yelling, stop yelling, I’m already sending gifts, isn’t that enough?]

[Many Fish (admin): Princess, I’m recharging right now, right now!]

[King (admin): Mm.]

[Wan Feng (admin): No big deal, just give, give, give! (Proud)]

[Who understands the woes of a college student at month’s end?]

[Recharging now.]

[Send! Send! Life’s unbearable otherwise.]

“Baby, I’m stealing money from my husband to support you.”

Yu Yansui’s sweet voice combined with the rhythmic BGM was intoxicating; gifts poured in quickly.

“That’s enough, enough! Thank you, brothers and sisters!” Yu Yansui’s cheeks flushed rosy pink. She had just looked up some catchy phrases for rallying votes in the stream, rehearsed a bit, and read them out loud—never expecting such a great response.

She thought, since she was live streaming, she had to do her best—not only to make friends but also to bring emotional value to those who liked her.

She was always rigorous; everything had to be done well to honor herself and every person who supported her.

[Wan Feng (admin): Wait, why do old men get 'mua'?]

“That’s the phrase I found, Brother Xiao Feng.”

[Wan Feng (admin): Fine, I get it. I’m just not worthy, not loved anymore, out of favor.]

[King (admin): As long as you’re happy, don’t care too much about others’ opinions.]

“No, Brother Xiao Feng is a very important friend to me, and Brother King is also a friend of Yuesui. Please don’t fight all the time, okay?”

The girl seemed to have mustered her courage to say this. After hearing it, Wan Feng seemed to reflect and stopped causing a fuss.

[King (admin): Okay.]

[Wan Feng (admin): I’m not, I’m super well-behaved!!]

King and Wan Feng enthusiastically sent thousands of gifts like joy beans. Thanks to Yu Yansui’s catchy rallying tactics, even some casual fans sent her quite a few gifts.

In the final five minutes, Lin Hang joined Yu Yansui’s stream.

[Lin Hang: Yuesui, Wan Dad, King, how much more can you send? Should we consider a last-second gift rush?]

[King (admin): What’s a gift rush?]

[Lin Hang: Are you serious, big brother?]

[Wan Feng (admin): Old men shouldn’t be streaming if they don’t even know what a gift rush is.]

[Lin Hang: A gift rush is saving your big gifts for the last moment.]

[King (admin): I haven’t done it before, want to try.]

[Lin Hang: Okay, then let’s do the gift rush.]

[Wan Feng (admin): (Middle finger emoji)]

[Wan Feng sent 10 Romantic Bride gifts to the streamer] (19,999)

Current score:

(Yue + Lin) 4,658,954 : 3,958,648 (Qiao + Di)

The point gap wasn’t too large or too small; the big brothers had a good chance to pull off the gift rush.

Qiaojiaren and Kedi were shouting hard for their big brothers to do the gift rush, while Lin Hang urged the others to defend their tower.

The last ten seconds were the decisive moment, with everyone’s hearts racing.

[Ling Xuan sent 10 Carnivals to Qiaojiaren]

[Di Yun sent 10 Carnivals to Kedi]

[King sent 15 Clever Weaving gifts to Yansui] (30,000)

[Wo Ni Die sent 5 Dragon Soaring gifts to Lin Hang] (30,000)

[Wan Feng sent 5 Full Moon Star River gifts to Yansui] (58,888)

The score surged over one million points again, and Lin Hang and Yu Yansui clinched the victory.

Lin Hang excitedly pulled out a box of fireworks and set them all off to thank the big brothers.

Qiaojiaren also thanked the big brothers with fireworks, while Kedi took a deep bow in the stream.

Compared to the three, Yu Yansui seemed more reserved; she simply sweetly read out everyone’s names to express gratitude.

She learned from this—she wanted to bow and set off fireworks too!!!

After the thanks, they unmuted their microphones. Kedi’s face darkened, her brows furrowed tightly enough to crush a fly.

“Wow, Yuesui, your big brother is amazing. How did he get so many points? Let’s follow each other and play together next time.”

“Damn, Yuesui, I just won by a landslide. Your King and Wan Dad are really something!”

“Brother Xiao Feng and Brother King are great; our other brothers and sisters are awesome too!” Yu Yansui said proudly.

“What’s the punishment?” Qiaojiaren still wore a smiling face.

“Yuesui, you pick who to punish first.”

“Then I pick Qiao Qiao.”

“Then I’ll punish Kedi.”

Yu Yansui smiled slyly, “Then Qiao Qiao, you owe your top-ranking big brother a seven-time coquettish charm?”

“Ay, that’s not a punishment, Yuesui, that’s a naked reward. I do that all the time in private,” Qiaojiaren said, puckering her lips high. “Mua~ Xuan Xuan, kiss! Here I come.”

“Isn’t that nice? Please, please, I love you the most, Xuan Xuan!”

[Urban Ranger Ling Xuan entered the stream]

[Ling Xuan sent 1 Dragon Ranger gift to the streamer] (30,000)

[Ling Xuan: Good punishment!]

“Thanks to Ling Xuan from Qiao Qiao’s team for the dragon gift.”

“This is clearly a reward for our Xuan Xuan,” Qiaojiaren twisted her waist and teased.

“Is it my turn? This whole punishment set I’m wearing is pretty harsh, isn’t it?” Lin Hang removed his nose ring, pointing at the green bandana on his head.

Kedi’s fans quickly flooded various streams with complaints, with Yu Yansui’s and Lin Hang’s streams receiving the most negative comments.

Lin Hang’s stream:

[Di Jia: Leave some face for future encounters.]

[Sao Mao: How disgusting, our Didi is so pretty, why punish like this?]

[Hua Hua: Do you even know how many points you can get? How did you win and still have the nerve to punish?]

[Bai Zhi: So cheap! What a good sword!]

“What? How I won is none of your business. Anyway, I won, so deal with it. Can’t handle mystery boxes?” Lin Hang lost his patience and slipped into his native Dian dialect instead of speaking standard Mandarin.

Yu Yuesui’s stream:

[Fat Cat: Without your big brother, what are you?]

[I Want to Eat a Burger: After the stream, do you still have to sleep with the big brother?]

[Didi is my only love: Worthless without strength, relying on a man means nothing.]

[Flower Branch Rat: Without your big brother, I bet you can’t even make the leaderboard.]

[Do you understand streaming rules? Show respect to seniors, got it?]

[Many Fish (admin): They’re all losers. They lost and come to stir trouble in our princess’s stream?]

[Sang You (admin): I’m kicking you all out!!]

[Insulting our princess, Sima, the Daddy of the Stream.]

Wan Feng went to each stream and spent 1,000 yuan on Cat Sailing gifts, lingering especially in Kedi’s stream.

[Wan Feng: Control your dog. If you bark again, don’t blame me for shutting its mouth. Our princess isn’t someone you can bully.]

Wan Feng returned to Yu Yansui’s stream, and King also sent several big special effects to cover up the negative comments, so Yu Yansui didn’t see a single one.

“I’ll do the punishment, baby, don’t stir up trouble for us!” Kedi performed the punishment as Lin Hang requested.

[Didi is my only love: They’re all trash, bullying our Didi.]

“It’s okay, babies, I don’t mind a little grievance. It’s worse for you all getting scolded.”

Kedi calmed her fans for a while and said, “Best of three, two wins. Are we doing the leaderboard battle this round?”
