In the living room, Su Liang and Wang Zhiying exchanged uneasy glances, neither daring to provoke Su Yongyuan’s foul mood.
Meanwhile, Su Yin’s expression turned icy in her room. She had originally planned to wait a couple more days to prepare further, but Su Yongyuan was simply too ruthless and insane.
Su Yin called out to the system: 【System, can you control who gets matched randomly in this game?】
The system, still startled from earlier, immediately replied: 【Yes, yes! What do you want to do, Master? What’s our plan?】
Su Yin opened a live-streaming platform and found one of the top-ranked gaming streamers. Pointing at him, she said: 【Remember this person’s ID. Later, match me against him, and then I’ll crush him!】
【Got it!】 The system rubbed its hands together excitedly.
Yue Li was a gaming streamer on Yingniao Live. Not to boast, but he was handsome, humorous, and had top-tier gaming skills—if he wasn’t popular, who would be?
Today, he opened the shooting game “Warfare” and flirtatiously addressed his live-stream audience: “Hey, cuties, start showering me with gifts! Today, Brother Yue isn’t messing around—I’ll show you how to climb ten ranks in a row! If I fail, I’ll eat my keyboard!”
Yue Li thought to himself: In “Warfare,” all the top-tier experts knew each other! The two big shots he feared the most weren’t online today, hehe! He wasn’t afraid of anyone else!
Then, reality hit him hard.
Not long after the first round began…
First blood!
He had given up first blood!
The live-stream audience: Uh… what?
His teammates were also brutally crushed that round, and the second round began quickly.
This time, he played much more cautiously, but after five minutes, his screen turned black and white again. Checking the kill feed, he saw it was someone named “Poor Little Pitiful.”
He scratched his head. What kind of weird name was that?
The third round… it was still this person… So much for climbing ten ranks in a row—he was already humiliated in the first game.
The best-of-five match ended directly.
Yue Li’s morale took a hit: “Is this person God A? Did he make a smurf account just to mess with me?”
Someone who had watched Su Yin immediately started explaining: 【It’s not God A! It’s a newcomer! A girl! She’s also streaming!】
“Huh? A newcomer? And a girl? Really? That can’t be right!”
Have I gotten worse?
Skeptical, Yue Li clicked “match” for the second time, only to find “Poor Little Pitiful” on the opposing team again.
He immediately sat up straight, ready to give it his all this round.
But to his surprise, it seemed like the opponent had taken a liking to him—they targeted him relentlessly. By the end of the second round, his stats were 1 kill, 7 deaths, and 0 assists.
After the match, Yue Li looked dazed. Fans immediately started shouting: 【The opponent must be cheating!】
【Yeah, yeah! A newcomer cheating so blatantly—how shameless!】
Yue Li snapped back to reality: “No, no, no! We can’t make accusations without proof. We don’t do that here!”
But some viewers still felt something was off, and before long, the incident blew up.
Finally, the game’s official team stepped in: 【Regarding this incident, we have conducted an inspection of the relevant account. No violations were detected, replays showed no abnormalities, and there were no signs of data manipulation. We urge all players to enjoy the game responsibly and avoid spreading rumors.】
Since the officials had confirmed it, there was definitely no issue. So, was this truly a hidden master? Better go follow them right away!
As Su Yin had anticipated, her live stream indeed attracted many more viewers.
Even if she didn't speak much and couldn't retain fans, this number of people was enough.
As for that Yue Li… for the sake of her own life, she could only let him suffer a bit.
The next day at noon, Su Liang indeed came knocking on the door again, demanding that Su Yin cook.
This time, Su Yin didn't indulge him. She opened the door and said expressionlessly, "If you're hungry, go eat in the toilet. Don't bother me!"
With that, Su Yin slammed the door shut.
Su Liang stared wide-eyed in shock. Standing right at the doorway, he was nearly hit in the nose by the swinging door, startling him and infuriating him to the point of staggering backward.
Only after he left, cursing and grumbling, did Su Yin come out of her room to prepare her own lunch.
In the evening, Su Yin didn't cook and wait for her scumbag father and stepmother to return as she had the day before. Instead, she continued her live stream.
When the scumbag father and stepmother returned and saw that Su Yin hadn't even prepared dinner, they flew into a rage.
The cheap brother also fanned the flames: "Dad, I think Sister has gone crazy. She didn't make lunch today and even told me to go eat shit. She must be possessed by a ghost."
The scumbag father, Su Yongyuan, trembled with rage. Su Yin had always been submissive and had never defied him before!
Had she grown a backbone or truly gone mad? But no matter what, he wouldn't let her off easily today!
Su Yongyuan, accustomed to being the tyrant at home, stormed straight to Su Yin's room, which resembled a storage closet. This time, regardless of whether it was his own home or not, he kicked the door open!
As if she had expected it, Su Yin turned off the monitor, but the computer remained on.
Su Yin stood up and asked weakly, "Dad? You… why are you back so early today?"
Su Yongyuan took a deep breath and sneered, "Su Yin, have you gone mad? Huh?"
"Dad? I don't know what you're talking about." Su Yin clutched the hem of her clothes, looking flustered.
"Stop pretending! Why didn't you make dinner?"
"I'm tired of cooking every day. Why don't Auntie and I take turns?"
Wang Zhiying couldn't hold back upon hearing this. Her voice rose an octave, filled with disbelief: "Have you gone mad?! If you don't cook, who will? What else can you do besides cooking, you useless thing? Do you expect us to feed you for nothing?"
Su Yin looked up in surprise: "Auntie, you don't work either. Since you go out to play cards every day, why don't you cook?"
Wang Zhiying gaped in shock, trembling for a long time without managing to utter a word. She never imagined that one day she would be left speechless by Su Yin, the girl who had always been submissive.
"And as for my brother, since he doesn't study and only fools around, why doesn't he learn how to cook and contribute to the family?"
"Are you fucking looking to die?" Su Liang, accustomed to the original host's weakness, couldn't bear this insult. As he spoke, he tried to grab Su Yin's hair, but she easily dodged him.
Seeing his wife and son both silenced, the scumbag father shouted angrily, "You brat!"
"Darling, I told you long ago that this worthless girl has grown bolder lately. You should have taught her a lesson earlier," Wang Zhiying said mockingly, stirring the pot without concern for the consequences.
"After raising you for so many years, you dare to defy me like this! I'll beat you to death today!"
Su Yin immediately feigned a pitiful expression and said, "I don't owe you anything. The money you spent on me over the years isn't even as much as your son's monthly allowance. I started working odd jobs in junior high just to put food on the table. If you want that little money back, I'll return it to you."
"And one more thing! Su Liang was born before my mother's car accident. It's possible her death is connected to you, isn't it? After she died, you used her inheritance and insurance money to elevate your mistress, and now you're trying to drive your daughter to her death. Even scum wouldn't stoop as low as you…"
