“Get on mic.” The online boyfriend—saved in her contacts as “Simp No.1”—sent a match invitation.
Heroes Strike is a national-level game in this world, popular with all ages. The media jokingly says that if you throw a brick, you’ll hit three or four people who play it.
But Yun Li doesn’t know how to play.
Just looking at all those game controls makes her dizzy. Every hero has different skills, not to mention the even more complicated item builds.
Her nonstop chattering mouth finally fell silent. Staring at the question mark her sugar daddy sent, she was at a loss for words.
“001, if I lose this match, do you think he’ll still buy me food?”
At some point, 001 had conjured up a chair. The round little creature sat there with two thin lines crossed—legs, as Yun Li eventually realized after staring for a while.
Host, the system shop allows you to exchange for gaming talent.
Yun Li instantly perked up, completely ignoring the creature’s crossed legs. “Then hurry up and get it for me!”
The little creature said nothing, silently projecting the system interface in front of her.
Gaming talent requires 100 affection points.
Yun Li subconsciously checked her balance—30 affection points.
Yun Li: …
She seriously suspected the creature had secretly pocketed some.
Sensing her thoughts, the creature replied in a cold, aloof tone:
I cannot make mistakes. These 30 affection points were given by the original host’s Simp No.1, No.2, and No.3.
Yun Li asked, “How many affection points can one person give at most?”
100 per person. But don’t forget—I’m a face-customization system. With these faces, why worry about lacking affection points? The creature pulled up another screen.
Rows upon rows of stunningly beautiful faces appeared, waiting for Yun Li to choose.
She casually tapped into one. A fox-eyed beauty reclined on a couch, her curvy figure impossible to hide. With just a simple finger movement, she exuded irresistible charm.
Not just men—even Yun Li was stunned into a blank daze, taking quite a while to recover.
After admiring it for a long time, she browsed through the other templates.
Cold and aloof, classical elegance, cute and lively…
Every type of beauty imaginable was available. After looking through them all, Yun Li tried customizing her own face.
On the screen, a 3D model of herself kept changing.
But after a long time, she felt none of her attempts were as stunning as the system templates.
After some thought, she chose a template called “Fragrance After Rain.”
Her face and body began to transform. Her tiny eyes widened, her oily figure slimmed down—faster and more effective than liposuction.
When the transformation was complete, Yun Li examined herself curiously. Her figure was now graceful, her long legs eye-catching.
But the most striking feature was her eyes—a pair of alluring phoenix eyes filled with a faint melancholy. Her entire aura was like a quiet orchid in a rainy alley.
She looked herself up and down until her eyes grew tired.
Only then did she snap out of the system—and noticed the game screen showing a big, bold DEFEAT.
Huo Qianyun stared at the female character who had been AFK the entire match, silently holding a cigarette.
After a while, he said, “Not feeling well today?”
“Your gameplay didn’t seem like you.”
“Are you still mad about what happened last time? Sorry, I didn’t think it through.”
Seeing him apologize, Yun Li quickly searched the original host’s memories.
A week ago, the online boyfriend had asked to meet in person for the first time. The insecure original host didn’t dare agree, afraid he would block her the moment they met.
After some back-and-forth, she pretended to be angry and gave him the silent treatment.
Even so, he still sent her food deliveries and red envelope every day.
What an innocent guy!
Yun Li felt a brief pang of guilt—but only for a second. The next moment, she sweetly softened her voice: “I forgive you. Just don’t do that again.”
Big boss, it’s not that I want to deceive you—I’m just hungry.
Conscience? Is that more important than food?
On the other end, Huo Qianyun waited a long time before finally receiving her voice message. He stubbed out his cigarette and leaned in to listen carefully.
Her voice was light and delicate. Because she lowered her tone, it carried a soft, slightly nasal sweetness that was instantly captivating.
He replayed it several times and saved it to his favorites.
Before “Simp No.1” could reply, Yun Li’s phone began vibrating nonstop with incoming messages.
Simp No.2: Little Cloud, guess what I did?
Simp No.2: Little Cloud, are you there?
Simp No.3: I ordered you food—make sure you eat well.
Simp No.2: Not replying? Wuwuwu (crying.jpg)
Simp No.2: Actually, Heroes Strike just launched a voice livestream event. You’d definitely win first place!
…
The flood of messages made Yun Li’s eyes hurt. She opened Simp No.2’s profile and immediately muted him.
Peace returned.
In a good mood, she replied to No.3: Thank you, dear. You too—don’t forget to eat well.
Then she waited a bit before replying to No.2: Dear, I saw the event already. Thanks!
After that, she tossed her phone aside. No.2’s spamming ability was terrifying—better to respond casually.
As for the voice livestream event…
Yun Li quickly found the Heroes Strike official website and completed the registration in no time.
This livestream was a turning point in the original host’s life. With her excellent voice and the support of her three simps, she gained massive popularity and secured an advertising deal with the game.
Her stepsister also saw the ad and immediately recognized her voice. Whether out of jealousy or something else, she began plotting everything that followed.
But Yun Li wasn’t afraid at all.
Under the bright white light, the girl’s beautiful face seemed veiled in a soft glow, like a goddess from a painting.
Meanwhile, on the official Heroes Strike site, a livestream titled “A Millennium of Regret, Dialogue Across Time” quietly rose.
Thanks to platform promotion, the viewer count snowballed. When it hit 500 viewers, Yun Li finally spoke:
“Welcome to Xiao Yun’s livestream.”
Then her voice suddenly shifted as she delivered the iconic line of the starter character Daji:
“Tail… isn’t just for scratching, you know~”
Her drawn-out, sultry tone made hearts itch.
The chat exploded. Gifts poured in endlessly.
Yun Li’s gaze sharpened as she focused on the three usernames sending gifts:
Qian Ruoyun, Everything Is Metaphysics, and ssx—the three “unfortunate” sugar daddies of the original host.
