Xiong Tai Lang spoke with heartfelt emotion, tears streaming down his face, but his livestream room didn't receive a single gift. In the end, he could only shut his mouth resentfully.
[Bro, the big shot from the other side came for revenge, so we knew we'd definitely lose. No point wasting money on gifts for you]
[This is called cutting losses in time]
[Used to seeing you win, suddenly want to see you lose]
Xiong Tai Lang watched the comments on the screen, his lips twitching.
Indeed, female streamers' fans were the cutest.
Seeing Xiong Tai Lang finally shut up, Jiang Zhouzhou gave a sharp critique: "Well said, but don't say it next time."
Xiong Tai Lang immediately acted as if he'd been stabbed in the chest, whimpering: "Kind words warm you through three winters, harsh words chill you in June heat."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "…"
The PK had ended, and it was Jiang Zhouzhou's turn to announce the punishment.
Xiong Tai Lang wasn't worried. In his view, Jiang Zhouzhou was just a new streamer who'd only been broadcasting for two days and couldn't come up with any particularly harsh punishment methods.
But the next second, his expression cracked.
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes flashed with cunning as she grinned mischievously: "Since you're so good at idiom chains, I'll punish you to write 'demons and monsters' with your butt!""
Xiong Tai Lang: "…"
The livestream comments went silent for five seconds.
[Pfft, who said this streamer was innocent? She's downright wicked]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, this is the first time I've seen Xiong Gou Ze's expression crack]
[I've typed it out for him already, no need to thank me]
[Sexy Female Cockroach: 6]
[Ye Zi: 6]
[Little Rice Porridge: Brutal]
Xiong Tai Lang's livestream comments were completely flooded with laughter.
[So you finally got what you deserved today]
[Didn't come for nothing today – laughing so hard my grandpa's coffin lid can't stay closed]
[That female streamer looks innocent, but never judge a book by its cover]
[Monsters and spirits]
[I'm going to follow her, hahahaha]
Xiong Tai Lang had fallen, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
"Alright, alright, I'll honor my bet. But this punishment method is quite interesting – I've learned it and will find the next unlucky soul to use it on."
Xiong Tai Lang stood up, twisting his body and wiggling his butt toward the camera. Though no one could tell what he was writing, the whole performance was more exhausting than doing calisthenics. The streaming effect was absolutely hilarious, attracting many viewers.
[Little Rice Porridge: I'll cover the medical fees, the rest of you don't need to]
Worried about duplicate medical fee donations, Little Rice Porridge mentioned it in the comments.
[Little Rice Porridge gifted Xiong Tai Lang Private Plane*2] (500 Fish Balls)
Feeling particularly guilty about the previous round, Little Rice Porridge was especially generous with the medical fees this time.
Seeing such substantial medical fees, Xiong Tai Lang wiggled even more energetically, shouting loudly: "Thank you to my top donor for the medical fees!"
[Little Rice Porridge: …]
That damn mouth!
After completing the punishment, Xiong Tai Lang was panting heavily from exhaustion. He returned to his seat, grabbed his super-sized ton-ton bucket, gulped down several mouthfuls of water before recovering.
"Zhou Zhou sis, let's follow each other. We can play together often in the future."
Seeing the follow notification, Jiang Zhouzhou followed Xiong Tai Lang back.
Their connection wasn't immediately disconnected, and Xiong Tai Lang chatted with her: "Zhou Zhou sis, you haven't joined a guild yet, right?"
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded: "Yeah, I haven't decided which guild to join yet."
Last night, some guild accounts had privately messaged her in the backend, but they were all newly established small guilds that Jiang Zhouzhou didn't find reliable.
Xiong Tai Lang's eyes lit up: "Why not just join our guild? We may not be the top platform-wide, but we can definitely rank third!"
【I remember Xiong Gou Ze's guild is SY, right?】
【Yeah, it's under SY—a pretty famous major guild on Shark】
【True, it's a well-funded guild with lots of events and benefits, though the requirements are quite high】
【It's fine for big streamers, but small streamers might vanish without a trace afterward. This industry is too competitive—resources are limited, and making it as a small streamer is harder than winning the lottery】
【Little Rice Porridge: I know the management at SY. If Zhou Zhou wants to join this guild, I can introduce you】
Jiang Zhou Zhou had been keeping an eye on the comment screen. After reading the discussions, she gained a slight understanding of the SY guild.
She was actually hesitant about whether to join a guild. Staying independent offered more freedom but also made her vulnerable to bullying.
Joining a guild meant contractual obligations. For big streamers, it was manageable, but small streamers would have to share a portion of their donations with the guild.
On the other hand… joining a guild would provide some traffic and support, allowing her to participate in platform events and gain more exposure.
Ultimately, there were pros and cons, so she needed to choose carefully.
Jiang Zhou Zhou: "I'll think about it! After all, I've just started streaming and need to learn more before making a decision."
Xiong Tai Lang: "Alright, let me know once you've decided. But personally, I'd recommend joining a guild. Since you've just started streaming and already have big spenders donating, both you and your donors are being watched covetously! Being isolated on Shark makes you an easy target for bullying—a guild would be your backup."
【Is this scoundrel a lobbyist sent by the SY guild?】
【It's normal for a major guild to notice Zhou Zhou—she has potential】
【SY guild is relatively decent; at least they don't control streamers like private property】
【DB guild is the worst—they even dictate what clothes streamers wear, or it's considered a contract violation】
【Wasn't Mao Mao from DB guild? I remember she started with a girl-next-door vibe, but after signing with DB, she was forced to wear suggestive outfits and became a borderline streamer】
Seeing someone mention Mao Mao, Jiang Zhou Zhou took a closer look.
She hadn't realized there was such a reason behind Mao Mao becoming a borderline streamer…
By now, the call with Xiong Tai Lang had ended, and another PK request popped up.
Jiang Zhou Zhou didn't want to do consecutive PKs and directly declined.
【Little Rice Porridge: How long will Zhou Zhou stream today?】
Jiang Zhou Zhou thought for a moment: "A bit longer! I won't stream tonight—I plan to buy some daily necessities tomorrow and want to rest early."
【What time will you stream tomorrow?】
【Streamer, pick a fixed schedule. Shark has fewer users during the day—the best time slot is 17:00–22:00】
【Sexy Female Cockroach: I don't mind. Whether the streamer broadcasts during the day or night, I'll be here】
Seeing Sexy Female Cockroach's comment, Jiang Zhou Zhou's lips curved into a smile: "Okay, I'll choose a fixed time slot and announce it in the fan group. Those who haven't joined the fan group yet, remember to join!"
"Alright, that's all for today's stream! See you tomorrow, babies～"
The live stream suddenly cut off.
【She left just like that, without any attachment】
【Ye Zi: If she leaves me, who will call me baby anymore…】
【Little Rice Porridge: Baby~】
【Ye Zi: Get lost】
