20demayo Chapter 3 begins the PK battle.
Chapter 3 begins the PK battle.
After waiting for only two minutes, the live stream split into four, and a cute and adorable young girl appeared.
Shu Hua glanced at the live stream's name, "[Grape Boba Ice]", and thought it looked delicious, but unfortunately she didn't like ice.
She only remembered that the female lead's name was Tao Tao, because her surname was Tao. She didn't expect that the live stream name would be Grape, so it was just a name chosen based on the similar pronunciation.
Shu Hua was a little curious, but didn't dwell on it too much. Her own live stream name wasn't even as good as theirs; it was so cringeworthy.
"Hello Tao Tao, it's nice to see you again." Sweet Orange had competed with Tao Tao twice before. Speaking of which, the first competition was actually arranged by Tao Tao's older brother. She had a pretty good impression of this little girl, mainly because her older brother was generous. Although the little girl was a bit green, she had a cute appearance and a sweet voice. After the two encounters, she thought she was quite nice.
She occasionally feels sorry for her brother's money, which makes Sweet Orange think that he is indeed a pure college student. The money her brother spends in the live broadcast room is probably not even enough for him to buy a watch. What is there to feel sorry for?
However, considering that the other party had just started streaming, Sweet Orange could understand. She would get used to it after streaming for a while and wouldn't think about whether she was qualified to receive these gifts. She would only think about emptying the pockets of the big brother and feel sorry for him. What is that? Can you eat it?
"Hello Chengcheng." Tao Zimo smiled sweetly, and immediately everyone in her live stream called her "cute daughter."
Sweet Orange smiled brightly and naturally took on the responsibility of introducing them: "Come on, sisters, let's get to know each other! Tao Tao, this is Shu Hua, our guild's little fairy. She's amazing at drawing, beautiful, and has a sweet voice. This is her first time playing PK! Shu Hua, this is Tao Tao, also a very cute streamer, and she's currently a college student."
Tao Zhiming, on the right side of the screen, saw Shu Hua and her eyes lit up. She was immediately struck by Shu Hua's stunning beauty. Her voice was sweet and soft as she said, "Hello, Shu Hua! You can call me Tao Tao."
Looking at Tao Tao's cute face on the screen, Shu Hua thought to herself, "So this is what the female lead looks like." In reality, she is indeed very likable, but her appearance is not as stunning as Shu Hua had imagined when reading the text.
Her features were delicate, but not strikingly beautiful enough to immediately amaze her. She simply found the girl cute, adorable, and cheerful.
She maintained a polite smile, her cat-like eyes crinkling slightly: "Hello." Her tone was calm, with a touch of the gentle warmth typical of I-type people.
Although her looks weren't quite what I expected, she's still a pretty girl. And without filters, she'd probably rank near the top in terms of looks.
Ah Le noticed the slight aloofness beneath Shu Hua's politeness, thinking that this younger sister was really shy, even more introverted than Tao Tao. He clapped his hands exaggeratedly, acting like a mood-maker, "Now that everyone's here, Sister Chengcheng, let's get started! What games should we play? It's the first time the sisters are playing together, so it should be lively!"
Sweet Orange: "Since it's Shu Hua's first time playing a PK, let's do 2v2. Shu Hua and I will be in one team, and Tao Tao was invited by you, A Le, so you two will be in one team?"
Ah Le and Tao Zhiming both nodded, indicating that they had no objections.
Seeing that they all agreed, Sweet Orange continued, "Then let's start a 10-minute overall leaderboard match, with the top four at the top and the rest playing the middle part, how about that?"
Ah Le: "Okay, I can."
Tao Zhiming: "I'm fine with anything."
Shu Hua: "Okay."
Sweet Orange looked at Shu Hua with concern, "Shu Hua, is there anything you don't understand?" She thought that this was Shu Hua's first time playing PK, so there might be things she didn't understand. She remembered the first time she arranged a PK with Tao Tao, Tao Tao didn't understand a lot either.
Shu Hua felt Tian Ju Chengcheng's concern, and her nervousness eased a little. "I had some basic knowledge before, so I can understand it."
Since she wanted to compete, she had naturally studied it, though only theoretically.
Seeing this, Sweet Orange didn't say anything more and directly opened the PK bar, "Then let's mute our microphones for now."

[Sweet Orange Livestream]
Sweet Orange was the first to get into the swing of things, waving brightly at the camera: "Oranges! Family! This is our first time leading Shu Hua in a PK battle, we can't lose! Our goal isn't high, how about we start with a 'Romantic Carriage (30000 Sound Coins, 10 Sound Coins = 1 RMB)' caravan to warm up? Give us a little tap and a heart! Let's give our Shu Hua's PK debut some class!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a romantic carriage effect appeared on the screen, followed by "hot air balloon (999 sound coins)" and "confession airplane (10000 sound coins)" effects.
This means that both the older brother and the casual fans have gotten involved.
[Sweet Orange Sparkling Water gave away 10 Romantic Carriages (30000 Sound Coins) during the live stream]
[Orange007 gifted 10 Romantic Carriages (30000 Sound Coins) to Sweet Orange Orange in the live stream]
[Guardian Orange in the live stream: Sweet Orange gifted 10 Romantic Carriages (30000 Sound Coins)]
[Round and plump oranges in the live stream sent 5 "Confession Airplanes" (10000 Audio Coins each)]
[Eat an orange and get 10 hot air balloons (999 audio coins) from Sweet Orange in the live stream]
……
Seeing the gift effects appear, Sweet Orange began to skillfully express her gratitude, "Thank you Bubble Bro, 7 Bro, the convoy of cars that Guardian sent, thank you for the hot air balloon that ate an orange, thank you for the round and rolling orange airplane, thank you..."
[A-Le's Energetic Food Stream]
Not to be outdone, Ah Le raised his giant chicken leg prop as a microphone and shouted energetically, "Lezi, everyone! It's your turn! Who will our 'Fried Chicken Guard' protect today? Of course, it's the adorable Tao Tao! Nobody wants to lose face in front of a cute little sister, right? But—"
He deliberately dragged out his words, winking and making faces, "The opposing team is a formidable foe led by Sister Chengcheng! Family, let's get those 'Gourmet Feasts' (30000 sound coins) going! One feast isn't enough? Let's get a whole table! Let them see the power of us dry rice people! Brothers, if you send a lot of gifts, my treat is next time we go to a restaurant!"
Ah Le's live stream was instantly flooded with various food-themed gifts and special effects.
[Leziren No. 1, during his energetic mukbang livestream, gave away 10 "Gourmet Feasts" (30000 audio coins)]
[Dry Rice Soul's energetic mukbang streamer, A-Le, gave away a gluttonous feast (30000 audio coins) x5]
[A fried chicken fanatic gifted a lavish feast (30000 audio coins) x2 to the energetic mukbang streamer A-Le during his livestream]
[Energetic mukbang streamer A-Le is giving away 3 bursting mochi (1000 music coins) during his live stream]
[Ah Le, who was doing a lively mukbang on his livestream, gave away a cheese-baked lobster (5000 audio coins) x1]
……
As Ah Le watched the gifts fly up, he began to thank the top contributors while simultaneously campaigning for votes.
[Grape Boba Ice Livestream]
Before Tao Zimo could even speak, the carnival (50000 audio coins) effect had already appeared in the live stream.
[If you're just passing by, please give a tip in the live stream and Grape Boba Ice will send out 10 Carnival Gifts (50000 Audio Coins)]
Tao Zhiming blushed slightly upon seeing the carnival special effects, clearly a little nervous. She spoke softly, "Thank you for the carnival, Brother Lu Guo. This is just a fun event for us. Everyone should just do their best and please don't spend money impulsively."
After saying that, she pursed her lips somewhat embarrassed. She knew that what she said to solicit votes was not quite right, but she had received too many gifts in the two months she had been live streaming, and she felt a little burdened.
[What does the streamer mean? The big spender is giving you votes and you're complaining about the money?]
[I'm speechless. What's with the high and mighty act? Isn't the point of being a streamer to get gifts?]
[Hilarious! He's trying to have his cake and eat it too. I feel sorry for his wallet, bro, don't do live streams!]
To put it bluntly, they're unprofessional and don't even know how to campaign for votes!
I don't know what my brother has taken a fancy to. He might as well go see Xiao Nai instead.
A few comments that were clearly critical and derogatory stood out starkly among the rapidly scrolling comments.
This sudden malice startled Tao Tao. Her face, already somewhat flustered from receiving such a large gift, turned even paler. Her lips moved, but she didn't know how to respond.
She had seen these negative comments before, but no matter how many times she saw them, she still couldn't calmly ignore them.
But before she could even speak, her fans, known as "Grape Seeds," immediately erupted on the screen, and the comments section was instantly flooded with voices defending her.
[Moderators, get to work! Remove the trolls who are stirring up trouble!]
[Where did these paid trolls come from? Are they jealous that Tao Tao has a big brother who dotes on her?]
Tao Tao is clearly worried about everyone! You guys don't understand anything!
Are those who say Tao Tao is unprofessional blind? When has Tao Tao ever done a live stream without being completely dedicated?
Our little Tao Tao is so kind! You heartless bastards, what do you know about gentleness?
【Daughter, don't pay them any attention! Mommy will protect you!】
【Tao Tao, don't be afraid, focus on the PK battle, we're all here for you!】
I love Tao Tao's authenticity and lack of pretension! She's a million times better than those who just want gifts!
[Those who attract traffic, please don't bother us; we only care about our daughter.]
Fans responded angrily to the derogatory remarks, trying to steer the situation back on track.
The moderators in the live stream room also acted quickly, and the mute notification started flashing.
Just as the comments were still arguing about the online trolls' remarks, an even more dazzling light once again enveloped the entire live stream screen.
[If you're just passing by, please consider giving a tip to Grape Boba Ice in the live stream: 10 Hearts of the Universe (100000 Sound Coins)]
Ten "Hearts of the Universe," representing the highest value among ordinary gifts on the Music Platform, exploded one after another! The magnificent and vast nebula effect almost swallowed up all the bullet comments.
The eldest brother remained silent, only sending gifts. The comments in the live stream paused for a few seconds, followed by a frenzy among the fans and a hasty retreat for the trolls and paid commenters.
[The Dream Walker's Livestream: Journey Through a Painted Landscape]
After clicking to mute, Shu Hua took a deep breath, her cat-like eyes flashing with a serious light that seemed to say, "It's finally my turn."
She glanced down at the table for a moment, then looked up at the camera with a serious expression and began to read aloud in a steady, almost reciting tone: "Family, let's go! Every vote is a lifeline for me. Tap your little hands, and let's send our votes soaring!"
Hey everyone, type "Go for it!" in the chat! After you've voted, comment "Voted" so I can see who my amazing fans are!
Help! The gap is so small, who hasn't cast their vote yet? Let me see your little hands, just keep going!
Dear brothers and sisters, could you please help me vote? Every vote is so precious, I really need your support!
I'm trailing a bit in the votes now, and I'm panicking. Is there some merciful god who can save me and cast a vote for me?
All fans, listen up! Right now, immediately, cast all your votes for me! There's only one goal: to get first place!
Follow my rhythm, 3, 2, 1, vote! Every vote counts, let them know who's the home team!
Shu Hua read it aloud with perfect pronunciation and a flat tone, as if she were reading a company announcement.
Even though the text she read was very lively and energetic.
The air in the entire live broadcast room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the comments section of the live stream exploded:
[Drawing Assistant: ... (silently covers face)]
【Wife?! What are you saying, wife?!】
[Haha ...
[Holy crap, hahaha, honey, where did you find this? We're giving gifts here, not voting!]
[I'm laughing so hard, everyone! Honey, at least try to keep your reading style consistent; we're not falling behind yet!]
[Although... my wife was reading so earnestly... it's incredibly cute!!!]
[What are you standing there for! After you've finished laughing, hurry up and vote! Didn't you see how hard the artist is trying (to be funny)?!]
But I don't have a vote button, only a button to send gifts.
I can't even imagine how happy I would be if my wife said these words to me in a sweet, coquettish way.
[Did you hear what my wife said? Hurry up and get the voting button up for me!]
As Shu Hua read on, she seemed to realize that something was wrong. She had searched for all of this online, copying whatever she saw without paying attention to the details. She was embarrassed when she read the first sentence; it was too difficult for an I-type person.
She had originally thought that since it was so awkward, she shouldn't rehearse.
Good news: She read it aloud during the actual test, although it was embarrassing.
Bad news: The content being read seemed a bit strange.
She secretly turned on the microphone in Sweet Orange's live stream, hoping to learn something from her. She heard Sweet Orange's excited voice, which was so fast that Shu Hua couldn't hear everything clearly, but she did learn a little bit. It seemed that she had to directly say what gifts she wanted.
Shu Hua glanced back at the document. Okay, what the heck is this ticket? The internet has misled her.
"Ahem... um..." She cleared her throat awkwardly, quickly closed the document interface, and her voice immediately became softer, with a hint of embarrassment at being caught, "...It seems... a little strange... Never mind, never mind, I won't read it..." She subconsciously tugged at the collar of her black hooded jacket, as if trying to hide her burning face inside.
[Honey, don't turn it off! I haven't heard enough yet!]
[Keep reading, honey! I love hearing it!]
[Haha, my wife is shy! She's even cuter now! Time to send her some gifts to cheer her up!]
Although the comments were all laughing, the gifts and special effects in Shu Hua's live stream were flying everywhere, and there were many kinds and prices, which showed that the big spenders had not yet made a move.
