CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 7: POPULAR FEMALE STREAMER (PART 7)

Having prepared the meal, Li Shuning sat down in front of the computer with her rice and dishes, and started live streaming on her computer.

"Sorry, it was too rushed today, Xiao Shuning hasn’t had time to eat. Tonight’s dinner is rice, beef stew with radish, stir-fried vegetables, and tomato soup."

"Xiao Shuning used to not know how to cook and always ordered takeout for a long time, which wasn’t good for her health. Slowly, she learned to cook herself. How many in the stream are like Xiao Shuning, always ordering takeout? If so, try to find some time and cook for yourself, take care of your body, so that you can work well and study well."

July Fire: "As a woman, why do I also like to watch Xiao Shuning? Because Xiao Shuning is just too outstanding."

July Fire gifted [Cloud] Xiao Shuning 520*10 personal tickets.

Salvage: "Haha, Xiao Shuning has this kind of charm, even girls like her."

Green Ivy: "My Xiao Shuning is too hard-working, Dada, please help my goddess."

In the afternoon, Li Shuning made an effort and was ranked first in personal tickets, but now she had already dropped to second.

The situation was not very optimistic.

In the afternoon, Brother Yang was around, but he didn’t appear at night. He contacted Xiao Shuning on Feixin, telling her that something happened at the company, and he might not be able to come to Lele.

Li Shuning promptly replied, telling Brother Yang that real-life matters are more important, and not to worry.

That night, Li Shuning and Xiao Qing took turns rallying for votes, barely maintaining second place.

When Li Shuning went offline, the third place was making an effort.

The next day, when Li Shuning started her afternoon live stream, she found herself already in third place.

She danced a few routines and then started rallying for votes again.

After the afternoon live stream ended, she climbed back to second place.

After going offline, Li Shuning began cultivating her spiritual power, feeling a bit irritable and somewhat powerless.

Has she worked so hard but can’t even hold on to second place?

That evening during the live stream, Li Shuning was back to third place.

Moreover, the fourth place, who resurrected from the revival round, also started making an effort.

Li Shuning took a deep breath, smiled, and started the live stream.

She still danced two dances, and then left the rest of the time to Xiao Qing to rally for votes, while she elegantly sat in front of the computer, facing the video.

When the live stream ended, Li Shuning was still in third place.

After going offline, Li Shuning checked the annual rankings. At this point, Xiaoyu was still in first place in the female singer category, with a significant lead in votes over the second place.

Li Shuning’s votes were currently at 3,809,073, trailing the second place by 453,008 votes. Each personal ticket costs one yuan, meaning she’s over 450,000 votes behind, and she’s more than 1.8 million votes behind the first place.

Only one day was left.

Li Shuning planned to go to bed early and then get up early to stream. If necessary, she decided to spend all the remaining time streaming except for sleeping.

Not sleeping was not viable, and the moderators could not handle it either. If they shouted for votes too long, their voices would surely give out.

Li Shuning lay there, thinking of a way, when Feixin suddenly chimed.

Li Shuning opened it and found Liu Nian had added her on Feixin. Back then, Liu Nian had removed his VP vest and deleted his Feixin as well.

Why add her back now?

Li Shuning’s mouth curled into a slight cold smile, hoping it wasn’t what she imagined.

Li Shuning accepted the friend request.

Liu Nian sent a smiley face emoji.

"Xiao Ning, I heard the competition in your group is fierce. Do you need my help?"

Li Shuning could almost see the smug look on that man on the other end through her phone.

Even if she couldn’t get first place this time, it didn’t mean her mission would fail.

"Thank you, Brother Liu Nian, for always keeping an eye on me. But since Brother Liu Nian wants to help Xiaoyu, no need to help me. It’s just the annual competition, it doesn’t matter if I give up. Thank you, Brother Liu Nian, for your support this past year."

Liu Nian’s face turned an ashen blue. He initially thought he would see Li Shuning begging him, but he didn’t expect this woman to still be so stubborn at this point.

Brother Yang was stalled by him through some channels, and there wasn’t any major tycoon in the 6666 live room.

Just a Duchess, she can’t contribute much either.

For some reason, ever since Liu Nian got together with Xiaoyu, he felt he had grown somewhat darker, unable to stand to see Li Shuning doing well.

If Li Shuning begged him, he could then make some demands, but unfortunately, Li Shuning directly refused.

Li Shuning coldly laughed and turned off her phone. She didn’t want to say another word to Liu Nian.

Liu Nian also coldly laughed and shut off his phone. He wanted to see whether Li Shuning, when she truly couldn’t reach first place, would remain as composed as now, or if she would regret not asking for his help.

When Li Shuning woke up, it was already half-past nine. After washing up, eating something, brushing her teeth, and putting on makeup, she went live directly.

For today, she decided to settle meals right in the streaming room.

Streaming all the way till six in the afternoon, Li Shuning’s votes were still in third place, but the gap with second place was down to over 90,000 votes. The gap with the first place, however, widened to 2.2 million votes.

Only the final six hours were left before the annual competitions for each group ended.

Liu Nian’s Feixin message chimed again, another smiley face, asking if help was needed. This time, Li Shuning didn’t even respond.

While Xiao Qing rallied for votes, Li Shuning whipped up some egg fried rice, took a few random bites, then sat back down.

After nearly a year of streaming, Li Shuning made quite a bit of money. Besides sending some to her mother, she still had some savings left, though some funds were tied up with the guild. Li Shuning contemplated that if worse came to worst, she’d just use a small account to boost things.

The commission on personal tickets was quite low. For 100 personal tickets, she wouldn’t even net half. With the guild taking another cut, about only 28 yuan would end up in her hands. So if she invested her own money, it would be super costly, but so what? She wasn’t here to make money anyway.

Li Shuning doing it herself still left a 2.2 million vote gap from the first place, and though she could potentially cover the gap, what then? The other side would certainly not stand still.

If it exceeded three million, Li Shuning would run out of funds.

By 9 pm, the second and first places suddenly intensified their efforts, with airplane gifts flying one after another, putting Li Shuning yet again over a million votes behind second place.

During this period, July Fire was also continually helping with boosting, but both the first and second places featured numerous people boosting together, leaving Li Shuning’s side struggling to keep up.

The fourth place seemed to have given up, with stagnant votes and the host even going offline directly.

At this moment, Li Shuning was feeling rather down, and worse, black fans had entered spreading rumors—claiming Xiao Shuning’s patrons had all fled, she’d been abandoned and such.

Management in the stream began banning users one by one, and with nothing better to do, Li Shuning started banning them herself.

During the voting rallies, someone even challenged Xiao Shuning to a showdown of narrow encounters.

Li Shuning connected several times and ended up losing badly, truly feeling a bit upset at this moment.

And she felt somewhat helpless too.
