Young artists compete, and even the richest fans have to fight for their votes.

Chapter 24 Yan Ying

【Hua Yan Ying Cai Live Stream Room】

Yan Ying lightly tapped the table with her fingertips, leaned back lazily in her chair, and her professional-level mature voice, with a nonchalant languor, penetrated the microphone: "Alright, the PK has started. You all know what to do, right?"

You should give the gift, stop with the nonsense.

"If I lose, just you wait."

【Aaaaaaah, sister, step on me! With your ten-centimeter heels!】

[That arrogant tone is killing me! Does my sister need a charm? I'll bring my own dog leash!]

Sister, I'm waiting! I'm all washed and ready! Please don't let me go!

[Sister Yan: You all know what to do, right? Me: Queen! Request the votes now!]

The gift effects instantly filled the screen, with rockets and spaceships cascading down like a waterfall of starlight.

[The streamer "Hidden in the Human World" sent 10 "Starlight Rockets" (30000 Audio Coins) during the live stream "Colorful Bloom"]

[“Poor but loves to spend” gave away 10 “Carnival” gifts (50000 audio coins) in the live stream room “Hua Yan Ying Cai”]

[“Half a Cup of Pure Joy” gave away 10 “Starry Sea Wanderings” (30000 Audio Coins) in the live stream room “Hua Yan Ying Cai”]

Yan Yinghong's lips curled slightly, seemingly used to this scene and already able to ignore the group of people making sarcastic remarks in the comments.

It was worth it for her to practice that mature, sophisticated voice.

Seeing the score steadily rising, Yan Ying suddenly changed the subject, leaned forward slightly, and her face was no longer lazy, but full of burning gossip spirit: "Hey, just now... what's going on between Zhu Ying and Tao Tao?"

Does anyone know why, when I came to my senses, I heard "relying on one's face" and "no effort required"?

Can someone explain this in detail?

The mature, sophisticated voice vanished instantly, leaving behind only a silly, gossipy older woman.

The art style is undeniably jarring, but thankfully, fans have already gotten used to it.

[Sis! Sister Yan! My ancestor! Can't we finish the PK battle first and then gossip?!]

[High-energy warning ahead! Yan Yan is about to unleash a gossip bombshell!]

[Sister Yan: I was just asking. Comment: No! You don't want to! Focus on ranking, sister!]

[Sis, this is only the first round. Are you not planning to say anything after this?]

Sis, at least wait until the PK is over!

However, I'm also curious, does anyone know?

To be honest, I didn't know. It was so sudden. These two styles are worlds apart; they probably wouldn't be able to compete for the top spot.

[Don't go off-topic, everyone! I'm even more curious now. Don't just blurt out the question later.]

[Shut up (zipper)]

Yan Ying chuckled as she looked at the screen filled with "Danger" comments and the rapidly refreshing gifts. She twirled her long hair between her fingers and finally took pity on the topic and let it go.

"Alright, alright, look how impatient you are. Let's finish the fight first..." she drawled, her eyes gleaming mischievously. "Anyway, my memory is still excellent."

If you don't tell me after you've finished, huh!

That's what they say, but the gossip spirit isn't so easily extinguished.

She looked at the comment that she would ask directly later and considered its feasibility.

There's a penalty for not answering questions during the process. If she's in first place, then it can be determined as truth, and then we can ask her.

Yan Ying glanced at the PK list and thought, "Okay, it's none of my business."

Tao Tao's live stream is still a long way behind He Shuhua's.

Why not encourage the first-place winner to tell the truth?

If Tao Tao comes in first place, it probably won't work.

She had never met Shu Hua before, nor had she ever seen any of her profile pictures, so she didn't know what kind of personality she had.

Forget it, I'll just stay a dog for now.

Otherwise, her fans in the live stream will start nagging her again.

[Sweet Orange Livestream]

Chengcheng flashed her signature sweet smile at the camera, and only got halfway through her energetic campaign speech: "Family members, please send us your little hearts and light sticks~ One is never too little, two is never too many..."

The background music suddenly skipped to a high-energy dance track, and her smile froze for a fraction of a second before she quickly regained her composure and continued as if nothing had happened, "...It's all thanks to everyone! Send out Carnival, Rocket, and Galaxy gifts! Send any gift you can! Orange loves you all!"

[Even the music couldn't hold back anymore! Orange, do you regret taking on this 'hot potato' of Bamboo Shadow?]

[Sister Orange: Smiling on the surface, cursing inside! This background music must be Orange's soul-searching scream!]

[On the Self-Cultivation of a Professional Host – Background Music Malfunction? Not at all! Chengcheng's facial expressions are perfect!]

[Chengcheng: I just wanted to have a proper PK battle, but Zhuying gave me a 'surprise blind box' (it was full of landmines)!]

[What's in front isn't a landmine, it's Zhuying's built-in "clearing buff"—she's dedicated to clearing the atmosphere in the live stream! No wonder she's called Qingqing (Clear-Up).]

[Upstairs, you're the first one to remember her name is Qingqing; everyone else calls her Sister Zhuying.]

[Merit -1! But it's so funny, hahaha! I could watch Chengcheng's forced performance a hundred times!]

Chengcheng caught a glimpse of the rapidly scrolling comments and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. A crack appeared in her sweet image, revealing a hint of her helpless true nature: "Okay, okay! That's enough, you guys!"

She puffed out her cheeks, feigning anger, "I've already accepted it! What else can I do? Of course, I should—"

She took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly turning fierce, and clenched her small fists towards the camera, "—Throw gifts at me until I'm stunned! Let me forget my troubles! Family! Charge!!!"

[Received! I'll use this gift to cleanse Orange Sister's eyes!]

[Protect Chengcheng, the world's best stage presence!]

Let the gifts come even more fiercely! Let Chengcheng forget that "troublesome" teammate!

[The music can be off! But Orange (the character) can't be off! Brothers, let's get this going!]

[“Sweet Orange Sparkling Water” gave away 10 “Brilliant Galaxy” (50000 Sound Coins) in the live stream by “Sweet Orange”]

[“Orange007” sent 10 “Starlight Rockets” (30000 Audio Coins) to the live streamer “Sweet Orange Orange”]

[“Guardian Orange” gave away 10 “Carnival” gifts (50000 Sound Coins) in the live stream by “Sweet Orange”]
