CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: EMBARRASSMENT?

"There’s no need to be so negative, everyone. We’re just having fun. If I lose, I lose. The worst that can happen is he draws a turtle on my face with lipstick, right? I’m so cute, I won’t look ugly even with that."

Hearing Su Yi’s comforting words, however, did nothing to improve her audience’s mood.

But just then, a comment in the chat caught everyone’s attention.

"What’s going on here? Is Su Yi in a PK battle?"

Most people would have just skimmed past a comment like that. But when they saw the username, everyone snapped to attention.

The commenter’s name was: Your Big Brother Xia.

Practically everyone in Su Yi’s stream knew about Xia Liang. No one would dare to impersonate him, especially since Su Yi actually knew him and could verify his identity at any time.

Seeing this account pop up made many people’s hearts race. It was a new account.

Seeing this, several people asked excitedly in the chat.

"God of Wealth Xia? Is that you?"

"Holy shit! That name... it can’t be God of Wealth Xia, can it?"

"Bro, if that’s not you, don’t joke around like this."

"Exactly! Three Years is about to lose, and you’re here making jokes and causing trouble."

...

Reading these comments in his room, Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. Of course, ’Your Big Brother Xia’ was him. He was feeling a bit annoyed after getting completely wiped out in a 1v3 in the dueling arena and was looking for something else to do to clear his head. Seeing the Feiyu Live icon on his desktop, he decided against logging into his anchor account. He remembered that Yang Ying had tried streaming for a while, and he had even topped up his account to send her some gifts anonymously.

So, Xia Liang opened the app and logged in with a guest account. He happened to know Su Yi’s room number from her stream that morning, so he decided to drop in and see what was happening. He hadn’t expected to find her in the middle of a PK battle.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he typed in the chat.

"By the way, did those guys send the gifts from the bet they lost today?"

Seeing this comment, the stream chat instantly erupted with a mix of skepticism and hope.

"God of Wealth Xia! Three Years is being bullied!"

"Yeah! How dare someone bully your Three Years!"

"Cut it out. It’s probably just some bored troll."

"Exactly. If it were really him, Three Years would have said something."

...

Seeing these comments, Su Yi was momentarily dumbfounded. But just to be sure, she cautiously pulled out her phone.

"Um, I’ll ask," she said, sending Xia Liang a voice message. "Xia Liang, Xia Liang, someone came into my stream named ’Your Big Brother Xia.’ Is that you?"

After she sent it, everyone in the stream waited expectantly for Xia Liang’s reply.

Xia Liang, of course, received it and immediately responded.

"It’s me. By the way, did they send over the gifts from the bet they lost earlier? If not, tell them to send them now, or I’ll bring some misfortune their way."

When Xia Liang’s message came through, Su Yi’s eyes lit up, and she played the voice message for the stream.

Instantly, the entire audience heard it. They were thrilled it was actually Xia Liang, but they were also terrified by his threat to bring them misfortune. If anyone else had said that, they would have just laughed it off. But after witnessing Xia Liang’s uncanny luck earlier that day, every single one of them went pale.

"God of Wealth Xia! Calm down! I’m sending a gift right now!"

"Right! Please, don’t use your powers! We’re sending them now!"

"Me too!"

"+1!"

In no time at all, the viewers in the stream began showering her with gifts. Su Yi’s PK meter skyrocketed. In that short amount of time, it jumped to 150,000 points!

???

On the other side, Yezi was completely baffled. She had been certain victory was in her grasp, but now she was suddenly being overtaken.

What the hell is going on? Did her top whale just show up?

The viewers in Yezi’s stream were just as puzzled.

"What... what’s happening?"

"Did the top whale from the other stream come online?"

"Must be. Otherwise, the score wouldn’t have surged so much."

"Was that like six Super Rockets at once?"

...

As they were speculating, the viewers who had gone to spy on Su Yi’s stream returned.

"The other stream has gone insane!"

"Yeah! It’s unbelievable!"

"Holy crap! Every single viewer over there just sent a gift."

"What? Seriously?"

"How is that even possible!"

...

Everyone, including Yezi, was stunned. It was truly hard to believe.

But Yezi quickly snapped out of it. Her sweet, delicate voice rang out again.

"All my big brothers in the stream, the little sister on the other side is putting up a huge fight, but we can’t lose either!"

With that, Yezi put on a song and stood up to dance.

At the same time, in a certain rental unit, a slob with a bird’s nest for hair sat hunched over his desk, surrounded by several empty instant noodle containers. His eyes were glued to his computer screen, where Yezi was dancing seductively.

This was Fatty, her number one supporter, the ’big brother’ who had sent the Super Rockets at the beginning.

Seeing the opponent’s score jump again, Fatty gritted his teeth. Another Super Rocket launched into the air. With 20,000 more points, he instantly pushed Yezi’s score back past Su Yi’s.

Seeing another Super Rocket, Yezi was ecstatic. "Thank you for the Super Rocket, my handsome number one! I’ll DM you my WeChat info after this!" she said, winking at the camera as she danced.

Getting Yezi’s WeChat wasn’t actually that difficult. It only took a single ’Airplane’ gift to get her contact info, and joining her fan group even gave access to some bonus videos.

Fatty’s gift spurred many others to start sending gifts as well. As he now sat at the top of the supporter list, the chat was flooded with comments from other online friends thanking him on the anchor’s behalf. Watching the countless people praise him, Fatty dismissed the praise as just noise, but it felt incredible. Out in the real world, he was looked down on for his weight and looks, but in this stream, he was the Big Brother! He had a goddess fawning all over him.

Glancing at his salary, now a fifth smaller, Fatty didn’t care in the slightest. He even sent a comment, showing off. "Don’t worry. They’re just relying on numbers. They’ll run out of steam soon. Besides, you’ve got me."

It was, without a doubt, a supremely cocky statement, but it filled Yezi with confidence.

Meanwhile, back in Su Yi’s stream, her score was once again suppressed. This time, however, the crowd wasn’t dejected like before. Instead, they were buzzing with excitement.

"God of Wealth Xia! The whale on the other stream has made his move!"

"Yeah! You can’t just stand by and watch your Three Years get bullied, can you, God of Wealth Xia?"

"God of Wealth Xia! Make your move!"

"Show them what a real God of Wealth looks like!"

...

In an instant, the entire stream was stirring up a frenzy, all calling for Xia Liang to act.

This obviously wasn’t the outcome Su Yi wanted. It was as if she were pressuring Xia Liang. She immediately became anxious and typed, "No need, no need! Winning or losing doesn’t matter. Everyone, please stop sending gifts."

Seeing Su Yi’s message, Xia Liang couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This girl really doesn’t know how to handle a situation. If I really don’t send anything now, her audience will probably hate her guts.
