Chapter 158 - Leave the Livestream Industry!
Chapter 158: Leave the Livestream Industry!
Although Si Yu sounded like she was asking a simple question, it was clearly a loaded one with the intent to discredit Wu’er.
In the last match with the Sun Nation, Wu’er’s mistake almost wasted Ye Lingchen’s efforts. If they lost to the Sun Nation, then it would have been to the embarrassment of the entire country!
That maneuver had become a stain in Wu’er’s life.
For Si Yu to bring that up at that moment between their PK period, it was an obvious personal attack.
Wu’er bit her lips, then apologized, “Previously it was my lack of skills leading to my miscalculation of the situation.”
“Hehe is that so? I thought Sister Wu’er did that deliberately,” Si Yu replied nonchalantly with a laugh.
[Wu’er did that intentionally. Traitorous b*tch!]
[Hehe, Wu’er dares to be a gaming stream host with such bad skills? Trash!]
[Si Yu reminded everyone. We should support Si Yu!]
[Reject Wu’er the traitorous b*tch! Leave the livestream industry!]
…
In an instant, countless viewers were led by Si Yu’s actions and started to spam the chat.
“Next I’ll sing the Seaweed Dance[1] tune for everyone!”
Si Yu laughed cheerfully and started singing:
“Just like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, swaying in the currents. Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed dancing in the waves…”
While singing, her body twisted along like an eel wriggling about. Add to that her skimpy clothes, occasional flirting, and her chest swinging wildly about, it turned the atmosphere of the stream into one that was filled with charms and allure, bringing out howls from the viewers.
[Shake it harder, pull your clothes lower! I’ll gift you a rocket!]
[Awwoooo! This is the sincere host. I support goddess Si Yu!]
[What’s so nice to watch on that Y-God’s stream? He’s nowhere near as hot as Si Yu. Waaa, my nose is bleeding…]
[I think that Y-God is nothing compared to Si Yu!]
[Support Si Yu forever. I love Goddess Si Yu. Your song is great!]
[Do another dance! I’ll give you a cruise ship!]
…
For some time, countless gifts flew across the screen. Rockets and cruise ships clouded their vision.
“Thank you all for the gifts. I love you guys!” Si Yu placed both her hands in front of her chest to form a heart.
By then, Si Yu’s gifts were far beyond Wu’er. On the PK scoreboard, the results were one-sided. Wu’er’s gifts were insignificant when compared to Si Yu.
Beside her, Wu’er’s face turned pale. She was not good at singing, nor did she have good sex appeal. She could only watch from the sideline. Furthermore, Si Yu’s verbal attacks earlier left Wu’er in a very awkward situation.
In between, some people still sent gifts to Wu’er[2]. Even if she lost, it would not be in such a sorry state!
Unfortunately, it was hardly helping.
“It’s ok. You guys don’t have to send me any more gifts. Thank you for your support. It’s okay even if we lost.” Wu’er forced a smile at the audience. She then said, “There’s no need to spend all the money on gifts for a momentary frustration. It’s not embarrassing for us to lose to the number one female host.”
[Number one female host my butt! When Y-God was here, she wouldn’t even dare to squeak!]
[Wu’er, just ignore her! She’s just a chicken[3]. Just be yourself.]
[Damn it, just look at her. It’s like she can’t wait to strip naked for all to see. Disgusting!]
[Lacking in character and culture. How dare she claim to surpass Y-God? She’s not even comparable to dog sh*t!]
[A group of die-hard fans trying to start a trend claiming that Si Yu can surpass Y-God. Hehe, what a joke!]
…
“Alright now, please don’t take it too personally,” Wu’er said with a smile. Her mood was a little better after reading those comments.
“Although Y-God is no longer streaming, I can compile some of Y-God’s featured gameplay and analyze his maneuver in detail with everyone,” Wu’er suggested.
[Great, I like that idea!]
[Although Y-God no longer streams, we can’t let him be forgotten. It’s good to keep our memories fresh.]
[Hahaha, Wu’er analyzing Y-God’s maneuvers. That will be interesting.]
The stream ignored Si Yu’s attempts at provocation. It was only a few more minutes to the end of the PK session. Winning or losing was no longer important.
Si Yu sang for a while, then realized that Wu’er was ignoring her. A dissatisfied look flashed across her face. The fact that Wu’er would put Y-God’s name on the table made her even angrier.
She was the number one female host of Huyu. Any other host should treat her with respect. She wanted to show Wu’er who was the big shot here, trying to subdue Wu’er and have her join Si Yu’s side!
“Hehe, Wu’er, you’re resorting to borrowing Y-God’s name to leech off some popularity.” Si Yu sneered.
Meanwhile, someone relayed the comments from Wu’er stream over. Within it contained those that took a shot at Si Yu.
That immediately triggered the hornet’s nest. Countless people rushed into Wu’er’s stream and started flaming.
[What’s the point of acting pure if you’re out here in the livestream business? Hehe, your clothes are covering everything up. Just get lost!]
[You dare criticize our Si Yu? This stream should be banned!]
[What’s so great about Y-God? What’s the point of streaming contents of a banned person? Trash!]
[You’re just jealous and envious of our Si Yu. That’s why you’re slandering her on purpose! B*tch!]
Si Yu’s fans far outnumbered Wu’er’s. The criticism immediately drowned out all other comments. Comments were flying everywhere, all of them vitriolic. Some words were even more revolting!
[Reject Wu’er the traitorous b*tch! Leave the livestream industry!]
[Reject Wu’er the traitorous b*tch! Leave the livestream industry!]
[Reject Wu’er the traitorous b*tch! Leave the livestream industry!]
…
Very quickly, the trend started. Using Wu’er’s mistake, that phrase immediately took over the stream. That was even more direct than any form of humiliation, immediately turning Wu’er face deathly pale.
That type of trauma was deadly to most people. An average girl would never have the face to continue her stream.
“I think that’ll be all for today. I’ll be going offline now.” Wu’er’s eyes were on the verge of tears, looking terrible. Her tears were already wetting her eyes. She forcefully held it back in.
Just as she was ready to shut down her livestream, a rocket flew across the screen out of the blue!
[Y-God gifted Wu’er a rocket!]
The rocket was the most expensive gift on Huyu. It was impressive whenever it appeared. Moreover, it would leave a huge gift banner announcement on the stream!
The sudden appearance of the rocket caused Wu’er’s hand to pause momentarily. Immediately after that, rocket after rockets soared into the sky!
[Y-God gifted Wu’er a rocket!]
[Y-God gifted Wu’er a rocket!]
[Y-God gifted Wu’er a rocket!]
…
The mighty banner never disappeared. The entire livestream was flooded with rockets!
Everyone was stunned. Even the people in Wu’er’s stream, who were busy sending gifts, forgot to type. In the entire chatbox, apart from the gift notification, there was nothing else!
They have seen those people receiving gifts, but who could claim to have seen the screen being flooded by rockets?!
