Chapter 23 Opportunity to Fight
[The Dream Walker's Livestream: Journey Through a Painted Landscape]
Shu Hua obediently muted her microphone this time, mainly because there were too many people and the time was too short. She had to listen to each person individually, and switching microphones would have exhausted her.
As for listening together, she still loves her ears and doesn't want to go deaf at such a young age.
She was a little curious about the female lead, but it wasn't going to happen anytime soon; the battle was far from over, so she wasn't in a hurry.
[Life is but a dream: What do you think of this streamer's PK battle?]
Shu Hua saw the comment on "Life is Like a Dream" and was puzzled for a moment. "What do you mean, how should I say it? The housekeeper will handle it. She's a professional."
【Life is but a dream: I'm quite professional too~】
[Hahaha, Meng Zong is practically saying outright that he wants to play PvP.]
[Dream Master's hands are itching to draw! Let's give this master a stage to showcase his skills!]
Shu Hua: "Go ahead and hit me if you want. I can't control your hand, can I? The wallet is in your hand, not in my pocket."
[Speaking of Meng Zong's wallet, can I put my hands in to warm them up?]
[What do you mean by warming your hands? That's called experiencing the warmth of money up close! Drooling.jpg]
[I wish I could be so eager to spend money like that, tears of envy welled up in my eyes... and they just flowed uncontrollably (peacefully)]
[The only thing I have in common with the super-rich: We both have hands, but his hands can touch the heart of the universe, while mine can only fumble around.]
[Mr. Meng, do you need a charm? The kind that shouts "666!" Or maybe I can hold your wallet down and make it jump into mine!]
"Mr. Meng, look at my hand. It says it wants to experience the feeling of the Heart of the Universe. Can I borrow your fingers?"
[Life is but a dream: What if I hit you and you accuse me of sabotaging the little butler's charge? That would be so unfair to me!]
Shu Hua thought back for a moment, wondering if she had said such a thing. After thinking it over, she realized she hadn't.
So, it was Floating Life Like a Dream that framed her.
Shu Hua's aura immediately rose, and she smiled maliciously, "You're slandering me. When did I ever say such a thing?"
Apologize to me now, or you'll be receiving a lawyer's letter from me.
hey-hey."
[Life is but a dream: Last time I gave you the Heart of the Universe, you said you didn't need me, the little housekeeper would handle it. I just phrased it differently, but the core meaning is the same~]
[Life is but a dream: You hurt me and then just laughed it off, I'm sending you a lawyer's letter too~]
Shu Hua was speechless at the twisted concept of "Life is Like a Dream," as they were completely different.
Although she knew that it was nothing for these rich people to throw money around, she had never seen anyone so eager to spend money. What was their motive?
"No, you really want to have a PK battle that badly? Why?" Shu Hua asked sincerely.
[Life is but a dream: What else could it be? It's just fun! It's all about the atmosphere and the sense of participation!]
Of course, it's to have a presence in this live stream and get the streamer to interact with him, what else could it be for?
In the past, he was always fawned over in every live stream he went to. As soon as he opened his mouth, every streamer would prioritize chatting with him.
But here, if he doesn't show his name on the screen, the streamer just ignores him.
Oh wait, if it floats on the screen, it will also be ignored.
The streamer's appearance is not only to his liking, but also his fun personality.
This is genuine honesty, not some fabricated persona of being outspoken.
Saying you don't need a big brother means you genuinely don't care; it's not a case of playing hard to get, wanting it all at once.
That would be even more fun, and there might even be a hint of competitive spirit involved.
He also wanted the same treatment as that Daddy. Floating Life Dream still remembered the last time that Daddy appeared, the streamer smiled so sweetly and spoke in a coquettish voice.
He... also wanted to experience it once.
Shu Hua thought for a few seconds, "Alright, you can play this round. If you lose, you're not allowed to mention it again!"
【Life is but a dream: Don't worry, I'll take you flying~ (rose)】
[The streamer "Floating Life Like a Dream" gifted 10 "Heart of the Universe" (100000 Sound Coins) in the live stream room "Dream Walker Traveling Through the Painting Realm"]
As if afraid that Shu Hua might change her mind, Fu Sheng Ruo Meng immediately gave away 10 Hearts of the Universe.
When the housekeeper saw that Shu Hua had agreed, he stopped offering the gift.
Shu Hua thought that since this was a multi-round PK, losing one round wouldn't be a big deal.
At least it will stop people from dwelling on "Life is Like a Dream." Maybe after playing "Life is Like a Dream," they won't remember it anymore.
You can't be indebted to someone who gives you gifts. Even though she didn't ask for them, she would feel uncomfortable if she received too many gifts.
So, ever since she got Daddy as her top male fan, she really doesn't want any more male fans.
Otherwise, what if people make any demands?
Or rather, when it comes to holidays, you always think about giving back to people in some way.
Shu Hua really couldn't do these things; she sometimes even forgot her own birthday and couldn't remember these anniversaries.
Preparing a gift in return is also a very difficult task.
Look at the female lead; later on, she has many older brothers, and they even start fighting over her, making it difficult for her to be fair to everyone.
With more people, there are also more souvenirs to prepare.
Preparing gifts alone takes a lot of thought and effort; it's exhausting.
Speaking of which, the gift the female lead gave to her older brother seems to be an original embroidery piece created by the female lead herself.
Even without using any special embroidery techniques, it takes a long time to complete just one piece of embroidery.
Not to mention that you have to design it yourself.
She had previously bought those cross-stitch patterns with grids and dots, the kind where you just connect two points in a line, but she never finished them.
Just changing the thread and threading the needle is enough to exhaust her.
She gave up after playing with the embroidery for only three days because if she made a mistake, she had to unravel it and start over.
It's true what they say, not everyone can be the leading lady.
[Urgent! King Meng is always in such a hurry! Is he afraid that if he's even a second too slow, his little steward will finish the PK?]
[No way, who starts with 10 Hearts of the Universe? Meng Zong isn't here to "participate," he's clearly here to "control the situation"!]
【Daddy!!! Daddy, look!!! Someone's trying to raid our base!!! @画崽Daddy】
Are we about to welcome the number two spot?
No, it's third on the list. Second place is the little housekeeper.
[By the way, shouldn't the little housekeeper be considered Daddy's alter ego? They should be counted as one, right?]
[Housekeeper: I'm just an ordinary worker, the kind who blindly gives gifts.]
I'd love to be a housekeeper too, simply because I love the feeling of throwing money around.
Take me with you, I want to too!
[I'd like to add your ID number.]
Brothers and sisters, let's go! Take down this little steward, I'm going to take over!
[Drawing Assistant: No? Excuse me, how did the fire spread to me?]
[Hahahaha, the little housekeeper is dumbfounded. Isn't it the top two spenders arguing for status? What does this have to do with her, a poor working woman!]
Shu Hua saw that Daddy was mentioned in the comments section and immediately defended him, "My Daddy's position is unshakeable, so watch your words."
Life is but a dream: ...
[Hahahaha, Dream CEO lost before the competition even started.]
【How about we sit in third place, Mr. Meng? It's quite comfortable, isn't it? (winking)】
[The streamer is so arrogant! He even looks down on the guy who wanted to participate in the PK, and he's so rude (picking his nose)]
[I feel so sorry for Meng Zong! He's been spending so much and still getting dragged down, and his fans aren't saying a word? Are the big shots these days really this subservient?]
[I really feel sorry for this guy. Other streamers treat their big spenders like royalty, but this guy just accepts gifts but acts indifferent, and his fans don't even defend him (lol)]
Feeling wronged? Ask Meng Zong if he feels wronged! He just exchanged lawyer's letters with the streamer (though they haven't been sent yet).
[King Jiji is spending the Heart of the Universe faster than anyone else. As soon as the streamer says, "If you lose, you can't mention it again," he immediately starts throwing money around, afraid that if he's even a second slower, he'll lose and won't be able to participate anymore. Is this called feeling wronged? This is called being willing! This is called having too much money to burn! This is called—the offering of love (voice cracks)]
I also want to be burned by money~
[Junior Manager (fake): Report to Huazai! Low-level CPU-like rhetoric detected, attempting to sow discord among the streamer, big spender, and fans! Automatic blocking (eye contact) program activated! Fans, once you've had your fun, just ignore it.]
[Received! Reporting to the organization, we have retreated and are no longer giving orders.]
[Received +1!]
[Received +2!]
[Life is but a dream: Actually, I'm feeling wronged~ The streamer keeps telling me not to send gifts~ I'm so upset~]
【Mr. Meng, you're so...tea-like】
Shu Hua: "If you feel wronged, then you don't have to..."
[Life is but a dream: No, I'm not wronged~ Who's wronged~ It's all just haters stirring things up~ Little streamer, you're so smart, you won't believe it~]
[With Meng's hand speed... he shouldn't lose this match.]
[I can see Dream's survival instinct...]
【Meng, I advise you to be careful with your words before this PK is over, otherwise you'll get a red card and be sent off, and the little manager is ready to take over at any time (smirk)】
[Hahahaha, the haters are going to be furious!]

[Grape Boba Ice Livestream]
Tao Zimo adjusted her mindset and put those barbed words about bamboo shadows dancing in the breeze behind her.
Facing the camera, with her signature sweet smile on her face and a clear, melodious voice, she began to fluently recite the campaign slogans she had learned over the past two months of competition.
"Family members! The battle has begun! Let's charge!"
Little Tao Tao needs your help! Babies who have gifts, if it's convenient, please lend a hand to Tao Tao!
Otherwise, Tao Tao will have to undergo an unknown, possibly terrible, process of punishment.
Even just a little heart is a huge help to Tao Tao!
Love you all~
Although she spoke fluently and enthusiastically, a hint of worry couldn't help but show in Tao Tao's eyes towards the end, and her voice softened as she habitually added:
"However, everyone must remember that the most important thing about watching live streams is to have fun!"
As for gifts, the thought that counts is what matters. Just be sure to give within your means and don't put a burden on yourself!
We rationally support this; happiness is the most important thing!
[Waaaaah, Tao Tao is still so gentle! Even though she's feeling wronged herself, she's still thinking of us! Hugs!]
[Do what you can! Received! Don't worry, Tao Tao, we're all here for you!]
[Some people are just being sour! Our Tao Tao relies on her character and skills! It's her love for her fans, not just her looks.]
[Exactly! So what if she filled in the wrong section? Isn't our Tao Tao's embroidered starry sky a million times better than that awkward dance?]
【Every time Tao Tao asks for a gift, she only says "little heart," the difference in their expectations is obvious, okay!】
[The user "Passing By and Giving a Reward" sent "Carnival" (50000 Audio Coins) x10...x20 to "Grape Boba Ice" in the live stream.]
[Xinghai gave away 10 to 20 "Carnival" gifts (50000 audio coins) each during the live stream via "Grape Boba Ice".]
[“Black Cleaver Shard” was given away by “Grape Boba Ice” in the live stream room as a “Carnival” (50000 Sound Coins) x10]
[Just passing by and giving a tip: Enjoy your broadcasting, don't worry about anyone else.]
[Xinghai: Taobao, ignore those sour grapes. We know what you're like. Focus on your livestream, we're here for you.]
[Black Cleaver Shard: Hmm.]
Looking at the warm words of concern from the two people above, Black Cleaver Fragment felt that if she didn't say anything, she would seem to be out of touch with the group.
But when I let him speak, he doesn't know what to say.
That's just how live streaming is; there will always be haters. If a streamer wants to keep streaming, there will only be more people like that in the future.
Everyone has to grow up eventually. That "bamboo shadow" thing was already being quite tactful.
If it's the gaming section he frequents, there are tons of things he criticizes that can't be broadcast.
However, the streamer is still young, and seems to be a student, so it's normal that he can't accept it for a while.
But, is it really necessary to coax her like this?
I don't understand Black Cleaver Shards, but I'll just grab them and join the party for now.

[Xue Nuo's Growth Diary Livestream]
In the center of the screen, Xue Nuo, with her big, bright eyes and a sweet, innocent smile, began her campaign performance.
She first clasped her hands together and rested them on her chin, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry:
"Family members~ Sweet and glutinous rice needs your protection! This competition is very important, let's do our best, okay?"
Babies who have received gifts, please give Nuonuo a thumbs up! Nuonuo loves all kinds of gifts, from carnivals to romantic carriages!
I believe that our fans don't want to see Nuonuo punished, right?
I love you all so much!
This opening is standard and a common tactic used by livestreamers to garner votes, with just the right amount of sweetness that leaves no room for criticism.
However, after speaking, Xue Nuo did not start soliciting votes from the big spenders in the live stream as she usually did.
Instead, as if suddenly remembering something, she tilted her head slightly, revealing an innocent yet somewhat confused expression, and began what appeared to be casual "rambling":
"So, it turns out that the older brothers and sisters in the talent area have to practice their skills like crazy. It must be really tough. No wonder Sister Qingqing envies Tao Tao."
"But..." She paused, her voice becoming even softer and gentler, "Nuonuo thinks that every streamer works very hard and has their own difficulties."
Just like Nuonuo, who is constantly learning various skills, just wanting to make every family member who comes to see Nuonuo feel happy.
"No matter which district you're in, or whether you have big brothers supporting you, anyone who can persevere is amazing and deserves to be loved." She blinked, her tone so sincere that it seemed she was just expressing her true feelings. "The support of our fans is the most important thing, right?"
As long as it's genuine affection and heartfelt companionship, Nuonuo feels happy.
[Nuonuo baby is so sincere, I will always love you~]
[We will always be with Nuonuo baby!]
[What new skill has Nuonuo baby learned? Let me see!]
Looking forward to Nuonuo baby's new skills!
Hmm... something feels a little off about what you're saying.
[Nuonuo isn't wrong, everyone has their struggles...]
[I just think it's a bit insensitive for her to bring this up suddenly... She's trying to get votes, for crying out loud!]
Indeed, the conversation itself was fine, but the timing was strange. Why bring this up now? I don't understand.
Speaking of which, didn't that beauty-focused streamer next door also mention that she's learning a new skill? That's quite something...
[Haha, I can't believe I'm seeing comments about the origin of everything here. Nuonuo baby's ambition is fine, who's being bothered?]
The comments began to show differing opinions, but Xue Nuo seemed oblivious to the doubts, maintaining her sweet smile and seamlessly returning to the topic of campaigning, as if her previous pointed "ramblings" were just an unintentional remark.
"It seems that both Sister Shuhua and Sister Taotao's families are quite strong in today's competition, so we can't afford to lose too badly, right?"
"Brother Snowtop Coffee said last time he'd take Nuonuo on a hot air balloon ride. Will the balloon be able to take off today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, special effects began to explode in the live stream.
【"Snow Top Coffee" is giving away 10 "Cloud Hot Air Balloons" (30000 Audio Coins) in the live stream "Xue Nuo's Growth Diary"】
Xue Nuo chuckled and continued, "Brother Polaris said last time that he would let Nuo Nuo see the meteor shower, I wonder if we'll be able to see it today~"
[“Polaris is so bright” gave away 10 “Brilliant Galaxy” (50000 Audio Coins) in the live stream room “Xue Nuo’s Growth Diary”]
Xue Nuo suddenly rested her chin on her hand and leaned closer to the camera, her voice soft and gentle: "Sister Lychee Ice—you said last week that the new 'Glassy Star Candy' would go with my dress, today...can I take a look?"
[“Eat a Billion Bowls of Lychee Ice” gave away 10 “Glassy Star Candies” (30000 Sound Coins) in the live stream “Xue Nuo’s Growth Diary”]
Amidst cries of "Ahhh, sister, give it to her quickly!" filling the screen, a rain of colorful candies poured down.
Some comments that were not very well-written were simply swept away by the gifts from the older brothers and sisters.
