- Meanwhile -
Little Bear frowned and looked sad after she became a death crate upon landing.
Five minutes.
Three flights.
Such a high frequency of becoming a death crate upon landing made Little Bear question her life. She now had a deep realization that she truly was a noob in the PUBG world.
Life was already hard, so there was no need to expose the truth. Even though one wanted to cry, there were no tears coming out.
"Ever since I encountered Lin Ye, I feel like my luck has turned really bad. That annoying guy really is a jinx." Little Bear pouted and threw the pan at Lin Ye, who was far away.
Why did she need to throw the pan at Lin Ye? (TL: Pan is like a way of saying blame in Chinese.)
It was because she was angry and ashamed!
Little Bear recalled how she was blocked in Shelter and cried like a crazy woman. Even just thinking about it made her face and ears go red.
Embarrassing!
Truly embarrassing!
That was why Little Bear would put the blame of all her anger and misfortune on Lin Ye.
When Little Bear exited her game and was about to enter a new one, she suddenly saw a blatant identity notification pop up.
[Level 70 duke user Sniper King Baixiao has entered the stream.]
Immediately after that notification, bullet comments were posted on Little Bear's stream like crazy.
"Baixiao Army is here to ask for her hand in marriage!"
"Baixiao Army is here to ask for her hand in marriage!"
"Little Bear, Little Bear, why aren't you greeting our Baixiao-sama! Hahaha!"
"A perfect match! A perfect match! The golden couple! The golden couple!"
"Baixiao-sama is here to ask for her hand in marriage! Baixiao-sama is here to ask for her hand in marriage!"
A bunch of bullet comments with exclamation marks filled her stream. It was basically impossible for Little Bear to pretend to have not seen them.
"..."
"Sniper King… Baixiao…!?" Little Bear couldn't help but make an annoyed face after seeing that name on the identity notification. Little Bear hated this disgusting and nasty person and did not want anything to do with him.
"Whatever. I'll act as if I didn't see it." Little Bear glanced at the bullet comments and wanted to start the next game. She didn't like Sniper King Baixiao who was lustful, and she was annoyed right now.
Silence.
A moment of silence.
Little Bear was about to press the start button for the next game...
Sniper King Baixiao was waiting for Little Bear to enthusiastically greet him after he joined her stream, but after waiting a long time, he realized that she was ignoring him.
Suddenly feeling embarrassed, Sniper King Baixiao had to give himself an out, so he directly sent a bullet comment in her stream.
"Little Bear, I bumped into the cheater Lin Ye that bullied you earlier. When I encounter him in a bit, I'll avenge you."
"Don't play this game. Come to my stream, and I'll show you how I'll avenge you."
"I'll use my M24 to headshot that cheater!"
Sniper King Baixiao was talking arrogantly in Little Bear's stream. Because he had a duke title, his bullet comments were different and popped out so that Little Bear's viewers all saw his comments.
"Baixiao-sama is overpowering!"
"Baixiao-sama is strong!"
"Baixiao-sama is really incredible!"
"That cheater Lin Ye is only a little brother in front of our Baixiao-sama if we're talking about sniping abilities."
"Little Bear, Little Bear, you should wait and watch Baixiao-sama avenge you!"
After Sniper King Baixiao's speech in Little Bear's stream, there were even more bullet comments in her stream. Many of those viewers who had watched his stream before were now praising him.
Was there something wrong with praising the champion of the last Douyu All-Star Solo Championship?
Of course not!
Those ardent bullet comments also made it hard for Little Bear to pretend not to see Sniper King Baixiao.
After all, both Sniper King Baixiao and her were top streamers in the PUBG section, and they were under the same agency. If they were to fight in public, then the internet would probably explode with news and gossip.
It was a very difficult journey for Little Bear to achieve what she had now from being a nobody, so she treasured her position. She didn't want to let her emotions cause something bad to happen.
"Uh, so you've encountered that Lin Ye…" Little Bear said stiffly as she forced a smile on her face.
"Yes, Little Bear. We're so close already, so there is no need for small talk. Just come to my stream, and I'll headshot that cheater Lin Ye to avenge you," Sniper King Baixiao said arrogantly, as if Lin Ye was a small bug that he could easily squish.
...
To be honest, Little Bear was a bit excited when she heard that Lin Ye and Sniper King Baixiao were in the same game...
That was because she wanted to see Lin Ye headshot Sniper King Baixiao to death!
Yes!
Indeed.
Little Bear hoped to see Lin Ye destroy Sniper King Baixiao once for her.
Although she looked like she was a dumb little girl with a big chest, she saw the world very clearly in reality.
Little Bear only disliked Lin Ye a little because he tricked her once, but he never actually did anything immoral.
A game was only a game, and Little Bear wouldn't treat it too seriously.
However, Sniper King Baixiao was a distasteful and lustful jerk to Little Bear!
Each time he saw her, he would look at her lustfully, and that made her want to throw up. Also, this nasty man had played around with many little female streamers and female fans, so he was known as Douyu's top playboy.
...
This playboy would even constantly send text messages to her to harass her, which had made her hate him a lot. She had blocked Sniper King Baixiao's number before, but now he came over directly to her stream and asked her to go over to his stream...
Impossible!!!
Do you think I'll go to your stream after I rejected going to the hotel room with you?!
Stop daydreaming!!
Regardless of a stream room or a hotel room, as long as it had the word "room" in it, I won't do it! (TL Note: In Chinese, a stream has the word room in it.)
No! Never!
"..."
So, Little Bear said with a smile, "Sure, but I'll go to Lin Ye's stream and watch…"
"If you're going to headshot him, then I think it'd be better to watch from a first-person perspective of when he becomes a death crate. That's more interesting~"
As she spoke, Little Bear didn't continue to start a new game but rather used her own account and searched for Lin Ye's stream in the PUBG section.
...
For Sniper King Baixiao...
She chose to ignore him.
She was already giving him enough face for not reporting him to the police for his continuous harassment. Every time he sexted her, she would feel disgusted.
...
Pink grapes, big banana, small abalone…
Do you really think I, Little Bear, have never been on the internet?!
Sniper King Baixiao's face turned dark after not getting what he wanted from Little Bear. He posted a few more bullet comments, but seeing Little Bear not responding, he left her stream dispirited.
"..."
This b*tch isn't letting me attract popularity, eh? When did she become so smart? Sniper King Baixiao thought to himself. Although he wanted to get Little Bear to play with him, he cared about his stream's popularity more, which directly translated to money.
That was why it was rather calculative for Sniper King Baixiao to go visit Little Bear's stream.
First of all, when he was going over to her stream, his stream showed his game screen and not Little Bear's stream.
Why?
He was afraid that visitors of his stream would be curious and also open Little Bear's stream.
By separating things, he would be able to show off and act pretentious while minimizing the loss of popularity of his stream.
Moreover, Sniper King Baixiao invited Little Bear to go over to his stream to watch him kill Lin Ye not because he wanted to avenge Little Bear, but because he wanted to suck away some of her popularity.
It would take at least 25 minutes to win one game of PUBG. It was a rather long time, so there was no chance Little Bear could keep a black monitor for the whole duration she was in his stream.
So Little Bear's viewers would also see his precise shot with sniper rifles, and he would be able to get hundreds of thousands of new popularity points.
All that bluff about killing cheater Lin Ye to avenge Little Bear was just a trick so that Sniper King Baixiao could accomplish his real goal, and that was to increase his popularity!
So when Little Bear rejected his suggestion and said that she was going to go to Lin Ye's stream, Sniper King Baixiao's face turned gloomy and was maybe even extremely angry.
All a waste!
...
Sniper King Baixiao wanted to attract popularity through Little Bear while also suppressing Lin Ye. That was a wonderful plan that could kill two birds with one stone. But...
It turned out to be like this!!
