Сhаpter 7: Lоsing the PК Меаns Rеmоving Mаkеuр аnd Turning Off Вeauty Filters
Whо?
Lоoking аt Flоwеrs in thе Fоg?
Was it hеr whо stоle 9th Brоthеr?
Song Wаnwan lookеd bewildеred. How сould thаt be роssible? Song Jingwu wаs clearlу аn uglу сoward whо didn’t dаrе shоw her faсe. Нow cоuld she pоssibly steаl her big brother?
Nо оnе would bеliеve this even if shе told thеm!
Сould it be аnother fеmalе strеаmer аlso namеd Looking аt Flоwеrs in the Fog?
Pretending to ask cаsuаlly, she said, “Which Lооking at Flowers in thе Fоg is it?”
[Wanwan of Wanwan’s Family: It’s that female streamer who used to like connecting with you, wearing a mask and acting all weird. Who knows if she’s lip-syncing or what, but she can actually imitate Yin Yingdi’s voice, and it sounds incredibly similar! 9th Brother probably thought she was pretty impressive and gifted her a ton of Carnivals.]
Song Wanwan’s pupils contracted. So it really was that ugly Song Jingwu!
Imitating Yin Yingdi’s voice? Pfft, how could that be possible?
She knew exactly what Song Jingwu was capable of!
Aside from being able to sing a few songs with a decent voice, she had no other talents to speak of.
She guessed it must be lip-syncing and putting on an act.
Honestly, if she hadn’t just started her stream, she would have loved to end it and go check out that live stream. She wanted to see what Song Jingwu was up to.
[User “Ba Hun Dai Si Wa” has entered the live stream.]
Seeing another big brother arrive, Song Wanwan’s expression finally improved. With her delicate features and sweet voice, she appeared completely natural and unaffected. When she spoke, her voice was as melodious as a nightingale’s:
“Brother Bahun is here! Welcome back, Brother Bahun!”
The fanfare for the big shot immediately kicked off—
[Welcome back, Brother Bahun! Brother Bahun is awesome!]
[Welcome back, Brother Bahun! Brother Bahun is awesome!]
…
The chat was flooded with uniform welcome messages, scrolling so fast it was dizzying. After all, as a rising top PK streamer in both the looks and talent categories, Song Wanwan had already gathered a loyal fanbase. Her live stream consistently had over ten thousand viewers online, with peak numbers exceeding 100,000+, and her follower count had reached three million.
[Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: Huh, 9th Brother isn’t here?]
Song Wanwan knew he and 9th Brother were friends in real life and that he was the one who brought 9th Brother to her live stream. She quickly replied, “9th Brother came and left just now, and he said something strange.”
[Ba Hun Dai Si Wa (curious): What strange thing?]
Song Wanwan pursed her lips. She had already guessed what happened. No doubt, 9th Brother had gifted Carnivals in Song Jingwu’s stream, but Song Jingwu pretended not to see them and didn’t even say thank you. That left 9th Brother feeling frustrated, thinking the streamer hadn’t noticed his gifts, which was why he came to ask her.
Before Song Wanwan could answer, many fans in the public chat had already typed out the whole story, including the entire process of 9th Brother going to Looking at Flowers in the Fog’s live stream and gifting Carnivals.
[Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: Damn! 9th Brother actually went behind my back to gift another female streamer? Looking at Flowers in the Fog, huh? I’ll go take a look and come back.]
[User “Ba Hun Dai Si Wa” has left the live stream.]
Meanwhile, over on Song Jingwu’s side, the number of viewers in her live stream suddenly skyrocketed.
Perhaps the recent PK had been so explosive that it went viral, instantly attracting a flood of new viewers. Even Zhang Shuishui’s stream had over ten thousand people online now.
Many fellow streamers had also joined in.Especially the streamers who had previously clashed with Zhang Shuishui were extremely excited, curious about what kind of ghostly appearance Zhang Shuishui would reveal after removing her makeup.
The chat was flooded with unified messages: Remove your makeup, remove your makeup, remove your makeup, remove your makeup, remove your makeup! Turn off the beauty filter and the filters!
Only heaven knew how restless Zhang Shuishui felt at this moment, her heart racing with panic!
It’s over, there’s really no escaping this.
After all, with so many people watching online, if she tried to dodge it, she would likely become the laughingstock of the entire platform!
She even spotted many familiar streamers among the viewers, all egging her on: Wow, wow, wow, I want to see Shuishui remove her makeup, I want to see it, I want to see it!
Even her top supporter, Shi Yi Yun, encouraged her: 【Shuishui, don’t be afraid. I believe you’ll still look just as beautiful even without makeup!】
Maintaining her sweet and coquettish persona, Zhang Shuishui said in a high-pitched voice, “Brother Yun, what if I don’t look good after removing my makeup?”
【Shi Yi Yun (with deep affection in his eyes): Don’t worry, even if you don’t look good, you’ll still be the most beautiful in my heart!】
Zhang Shuishui pursed her lips and smiled, though she knew full well that men’s words were as deceptive as ghosts. They might say this now, but once she removed her makeup and turned off the beauty filters, they would surely show a completely different face, right?
【Stop wasting time, hurry up and remove your makeup, turn off the beauty filter and the filters!】
【Exactly, exactly, dragging it out like this is really annoying.】
The audience was clearly growing impatient. Song Jingwu also urged, “Stop stalling, hurry up. The neighbor’s kid has already been born by now.”
【Dragon Horse Spirit: Forget it, I’ll help you send a Medical Fee.】
Huh? Medical Fee?
Song Jingwu remembered that in PKs between acquaintances, there was a tradition of giving a “Medical Fee.” The winner would give the loser 10% of their earnings, capped at 1,000. Given her score just now, she had maxed it out, meaning she had to send at least one Big Rocket to the other side.
【User “Dragon Horse Spirit” gifted Zhang Shuishui Big Rocket*1】(10,000 Tomato)
【Dragon Horse Spirit: Medical Fee.】
“Thank you for the medicine,” Zhang Shuishui said with a bitter expression.
“Thank you, Brother Long, sending you a heart～” Song Jingwu smiled brightly, raising both hands above her head to form a big heart.
【Dragon Horse Spirit: You little rascal.】
【User “Ba Hun Dai Si Wa” (Level 74) entered the livestream】
The higher the level, the more dazzling the entrance effect. At this moment, everyone saw a magnificent entrance effect, making its presence unmistakable.
【Yan Yan’er: Holy crap! Another super big shot? Ahhhhhh, welcome, Brother Ba Hun Dai Si Wa!】
【Huh, isn’t this the top supporter from Wanwan’s, Lizhi’s, and Xiaoxue’s streams?】
【Yang Yang from Sister Wu’s Family: No, no, no, this is the top supporter of the entire Tomato platform!】
【User “Ba Hun Dai Si Wa” sent Carnival*1】(30,000 Tomato)
【Yan Yan’er: Brother Bahun is so generous! Thank you, Brother Bahun, for the Carnival!】
Song Jingwu opened her mouth but then closed it again, her expression completely indifferent.
The reason was simple—this guy was also the top supporter of the female lead’s stream, one of the indirect culprits who would lead to her death in the future.
【Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: ??????】
【Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: Is the streamer this aloof? Not even a word of thanks?】
【User “Su Su Su Su” sent Lollipop*10】(90 Tomato)
【User “Milk White Snow” sent sunglasses*1】(99 Tomato)
Song Jingwu finally spoke: “Thank you, Su Su and Snow, for the gifts～”
Brother Bahun, unwilling to give up, sent another Carnival.
【User “Ba Hun Dai Si Wa” sent Carnival*1】However… apart from fans thanking him in the public chat, Song Jingwu kept his mouth tightly shut!
Song Jingwu’s expression of “don’t even think about me thanking you” completely deflated Brother Bahun.
【Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: Are you blind, streamer? Am I not a person?】
【Dragon Horse Spirit: She’s severely nearsighted.】
【User “9999” has entered the livestream】
【User “9999” has sent Carnival*1】
【Little Star: Wow wow wow, welcome back, 9th Brother! 9th Brother and Brother Bahun, could you follow the streamer and send a Light Board?】
【Yan Yan’er: Thank you, 9th Brother, for the Carnival! Boss is generous!】
【Ba Hun Dai Si Wa: Follow my ass, she didn’t even thank me!】
【9999: She didn’t thank me either.】
Over there, Zhang Shuishui finally picked up the cleansing oil and started removing her makeup. She dragged her feet, taking an excruciatingly long time to take it off. By the time she washed her face clean, the livestream chat instantly flooded—
【Holy shit! Is this some kind of head-swapping magic? She looks way older than before!】
【She hasn’t even turned off the beauty filter yet, and it’s already hard to look at. Turns out most beauties in livestreams are actually ugly in real life!】
【I suddenly believe what Looking at Flowers in the Fog said about Zhang Shuishui being 38 this year. Once the beauty filter is off, she might look older than my mom!】
Song Jingwu could now clearly see Zhang Shuishui’s appearance after removing her makeup. Her once-fluttering big eyes instantly turned into single-lidded, puffy eyes. Her nose also looked a bit flat, and without contouring, her cheeks appeared wider. Her skin condition was still hard to tell under the beauty filter.
“You can turn off the beauty filter now,” Song Jingwu reminded her.
After all, a bet is a bet. If you lose, you should accept the punishment obediently. Besides, once Zhang Shuishui reveals her true appearance, her top fan might completely give up on meeting her offline, allowing her to escape this ordeal.
Zhang Shuishui regretted her decision so much at this moment that her intestines turned green. Why did she have to challenge that woman Looking at Flowers in the Fog to a Player Kill? Damn it, she should have chosen a different punishment.
【Shi Yi Yun: It’s still bearable for now. Shuishui, turn off the beauty filter.】
Zhang Shuishui bit her lip, looking as if she were about to cry. She steeled herself and decided to give him a heads-up first: “Brother Yun, actually, I’m not good-looking, and I’m not in my 20s anymore. I’m already in my 30s. You won’t look down on me, will you?”
Shi Yi Yun’s heart sank. Sure enough, it was all a lie. Hah, he wanted to see just how ugly she really was. He typed through gritted teeth: 【Turn it off first, then we’ll talk.】
