Сhаpter 1: First Daу Вack оn Live Streаm
[Lеаvе Yоur Вrain Неrе, I’ll Тake Yоu on a Wild Ride]
Song Jingwu рut оn the divinе mаidеn fох mask аnd lоggеd into Tоmаto АPP, currеntly thе hottest short vidеo livе-streаming sоcial рlatform in the соuntrу, stаrting todaу’s brоаdсast.
This wаs aftеr she cоmpletеd her mission аnd was reborn bасk intо her оriginаl world—
A novеl titled Тhе Green Тea Вabе аnd Нer Тop Suрportеrs.
Вut shе wasn’t the female lead; she wаs thе villainous countеrрart in the storу, аlso a popular live-streamer. Her only purpose in existence was to constantly stir up trouble, only to be collectively suppressed and retaliated against by the female lead and her supporters, ultimately driven to jump off a building and end her life.
It wasn’t until after her death, when she was sent to a minor world, that she realized she had been living inside a book all along—no wonder she could never outshine the female lead.
Today was her first day after being reborn.
Currently, the plot had progressed to… one month after she was kicked out of her adoptive parents’ home for frequently bullying their biological daughter, the female lead.
To put it bluntly, she had simply lost her usefulness.
She was nothing more than a lucky charm adopted by her foster parents to ward off misfortune for the female lead.
…
The live stream’s viewership had been decent lately, with the number of online viewers stabilizing around 500 each time she went live, peaking at three to five thousand at most.
[Yang Yang from Sister Wu’s Family: Ahhhh! Sister Wu is finally live!]
[Little Star: Just logged in and caught Mist Treasure going live, so happy~]
[Yan Yan’er: Misty, can you sing Wishing All Men in the World Would Drop Dead today? Sob, I just got dumped.]
Song Jingwu had some talent in singing, and most of her fans came for her voice. However, today she didn’t feel like singing.
So she said, “Don’t be sad. Even if the whole world betrays you, I’ll stand by your side and betray the whole world. No singing today—let’s do something different!”
[Yan Yan’er: Hubby Misty, I’ll be your wifey from now on! Hubby, do whatever you want, I’ll always support you!]
[User “Yan Yan’er” sent Porsche*1] (1,200 Tomatoes)
[User “Little Star” sent Confession Balloon*1] (520 Tomatoes)
The currency conversion on Tomato was 1:10, meaning 1 yuan equaled 10 Tomatoes.
“Thank you, Yan Yan and Little Star, for the gifts. Sending love~”
Just as Song Jingwu finished thanking them, she saw someone spamming in the chat:
[Anchor, I want to protect you.]
It was a small account, only level 5, indicating they had hardly spent any money on Tomato.
Song Jingwu didn’t take it seriously but still replied, “Protect me? Alright then, why don’t you give it a try?”
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Let’s go, start a PK. I promise you won’t lose.]
“Oh, promising I won’t lose? That sounds pretty reassuring.” Song Jingwu chuckled.
[Yan Yan’er: Since this big bro said so, let’s go beat someone up, hehe~]
[Little Star: Yeah, yeah, let’s PK!]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t lose a single PK.]
“Since Brother Long is so confident, I’ll start a random match then. Don’t you dare run off later!”
[Dragon Horse Spirit: I promise I won’t run.]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Let’s go, off to battle.]
Her memories were a bit distant, but Song Jingwu fumbled around and clicked the random match button. Soon, she connected with another girl, and then Brother Long, Dragon Horse Spirit, began his performance—[Dragon Horse Spirit: Wait a moment, I’m going over to the other side.]
Song Jingwu was utterly confused: “Hey hey hey, big brother, you’re supposed to be protecting me. What are you running over to the other side for?”
Immediately afterward, a conspicuous golden floating message appeared in the middle of the screen: [Give me some face and hang up. I don’t want my streamer to lose.]
The next second, the other side actually disconnected the call.
The PK ended before it even began.
And she really didn’t lose.
Song Jingwu was completely speechless: “Bro, is this how you’re not letting me lose?”
On her first day streaming after being reborn, she actually ran into such a weirdo?
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I can’t stop laughing!]
[Yan Yan’er: Haha, so speechless. Is this Brother Long here to be funny?]
[Little Star: Brother Long, we’re all calling you Brother Long now. Can you be a bit more serious?]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Come on, I’ll protect you a few more rounds.]
Song Jingwu simply threw caution to the wind: “Alright, alright, I’ll let you protect me to your heart’s content today.”
She clicked random matchmaking again. This time, she matched with another girl, and Dragon Horse Spirit went over again.
Floating messages cost money to buy, and both streamers could see them:
[I promised my streamer I wouldn’t let her lose]
[Give me some face and hang up]
[That way she won’t lose]
And so, the other side actually disconnected the call again.
The next few rounds followed the same pattern.
The key was that this guy’s method worked every single time.
Until they ran into some tough opponents. This time, the match connected to three people, all streamers with five stars or above, and all girls.
One named Su Jiuli, a six-star streamer from the dance section, sweet-looking and dressed sexily.
One named Liu Yue, a five-star streamer, also from the dance section, a beauty in Hanfu with a classical style.
Another named Lu Lu Ya, also a five-star streamer, a cute and adorable girl from the entertainment section.
“What the heck? How did we match with Looking at Flowers in the Fog?” Lu Lu Ya said in her loli voice, dripping with sarcasm.
Su Jiuli said: “Then let’s play a bit. It’s been a long time since the four of us PKed together.”
Song Jingwu did recall a bit. She often PKed with these three, but every time she got crushed and was mocked and ridiculed in various ways.
“Brother Long, why aren’t you going over this time?” Song Jingwu asked with a polite smile.
[Dragon Horse Spirit: There are too many of them. Probably can’t handle it.]
[Yan Yan’er: Pfft, Brother Long chickened out.]
“Looking at Flowers in the Fog, how do you want to play? How about the usual? First place gives medicine to second and third place, fourth place gets no medicine and accepts punishment. Or do you want to play in teams?” Su Jiuli asked.
Lu Lu Ya immediately said: “Forget about teams. Whoever teams with Looking at Flowers in the Fog will lose. I don’t want to be on her team.”
Liu Yue, also afraid of being teamed with Looking at Flowers in the Fog, quickly raised her hand: “I’ll team with Lu Lu.”
Song Jingwu, on the other hand, adopted an attitude of quietly watching their performance. Then she saw Brother Long, Dragon Horse Spirit, go over again.
[I promised my streamer I wouldn’t let her lose]
[Give me some face and hang up]
[That way she won’t lose]
[User “Dragon Horse Spirit” gifted Su Jiuli Big Rocket*1] (10000 Tomato)
[User “Dragon Horse Spirit” gifted Liu Yue Big Rocket*1]
[User “Dragon Horse Spirit” gifted Lu Lu Ya Big Rocket*1]
“Okay, okay.” Su Jiuli and the other two said almost in unison.The connection on Song Jingwu’s side was truly cut off.
[Yan Yan’er: Holy crap! Three Big Rockets! I’d rather have them gifted to hubby Wu Wu (crying) (crying)]
[Yang Yang from Sister Wu’s Family: First time seeing someone play like this, Brother Long, you’re awesome!]
[Little Star: Congratulations to Brother Long for reaching level 27.]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Look, I spent all my hard-earned money from working this month just so you wouldn’t lose. Aren’t you touched?]
[Looking at Flowers in the Fog: I’m touched my ass.]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: Tsk tsk, my heart is broken.]
Just then, another PK invitation came in. Song Jingwu found the name somewhat familiar and casually clicked to accept.
The livestream screen split into two, revealing another pretty female streamer on the other side named Zhang Shuishui.
They had faced off in PK battles before, and Zhang Shuishui, relying on having big spenders in her livestream, had bullied Song Jingwu every time.
Zhang Shuishui put on a high-pitched, cutesy voice and said, “Wu Wu, let’s have a PK battle, shall we?”
Song Jingwu roughly knew the fate of this cannon fodder character, Zhang Shuishui, and the impression was quite vivid.
She mercilessly called her out: “Please straighten your tongue before talking to me. After all, you’re already thirty-eight years old—why pretend to be an eighteen-year-old girl?”
