So what if she's an ordinary girl? She still gets her older brother to fight for the top spot o

"Good evening, welcome Queen Sister, Lonely Island Bro, Fan Bro, and Paper Inkstone Bro~"

Zhang Xiaoyu greeted them with a smile, genuinely surprised that everyone had come so soon after her broadcast began. Although they had said in the afternoon they would come to see her that evening, she had thought it might be a while, or some people might have other commitments and couldn't make it. She was overjoyed to see these familiar faces so quickly.

[Queen Arrives: Good evening, Fish Darling~]

[Two Isolated Islands: Is that all you're going to say, "Welcome"? I came straight from another stream as soon as I saw your broadcast notification (smoking)]

"I'm so happy~ But you can come over after you've finished watching, Lonely Island Bro."

Zhang Xiaoyu clicked into the homepage of the two isolated islands and saw that their following list was quite long, with pretty and cute female streamers at the top. She wasn't surprised, as it fit her old-fashioned impression of men who watched live streams—who doesn't like watching pretty girls?

Two isolated islands: ...

[Two isolated islands: Should I go back and continue watching?]

[The Queen has arrived: Since you're already here, why are you leaving? Didn't you come here specifically to see Fish Baby?]

[Two isolated islands: That depends on the anchor's opinion (smoking)]

[Fans are so useful: The live stream is so lively today, I almost thought I entered the wrong live stream haha]

Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't sure whether the two islanders wanted to leave or stay, but her thought was definitely: "Is there even a question? Of course I hope Island Bro stays!"

He continued answering the question about how useful the fan was: "Because yesterday it was just you, Fan Brother, but today there are a few more people."

It's true that there are only a few more viewers. Including Queen Island and the others, there are only 21 people in the live stream now. Even though she has more than 100 followers, only a few people actually watch it.

Zhang Xiaoyu could understand. Most viewers of her live stream followed more than one streamer, and she didn't have any particular advantage. Even those watching her live stream now were probably just there because of the lingering impressions from the afternoon's stream on calligraphy and painting, and they were watching because it was so close in time.

Two isolated islands: That's more like it.

"The fan is really useful" means that he clicked into the streamer's homepage details. When he saw the streamer's level of 34, he thought he was seeing things. Yesterday, when he saw the streamer, she was still a newbie at level 1. He sent her three small gifts and she only leveled up a few times. But she leveled up so much in just one day.

Then he saw an astonishing weekly ranking. The number one person on the list, who had spent 11 on writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, was number one! It was called a weekly ranking, but it was actually that many people had spent that much in just one day... He knew that there were many rich people on the live streaming platform. He had actually encountered people who didn't treat money like money when he watched other live streams, and there were even more of them. But he would just watch and move on. His mood was never as... complicated as it was today.

It's like he was special to the streamer yesterday, but today someone else is special.

In just one day, such a big change has occurred.

The fan is really useful. Putting aside this inexplicable feeling, I looked at the streamer again and saw that she didn't seem so nervous anymore. She was much more relaxed and had made great progress.

[The fan is so useful: Congratulations, streamer! It feels like I've witnessed your growth firsthand, haha!]

"Thank you, Brother Fan. I think I've definitely grown a bit; I'm not as nervous when I speak anymore." Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and no longer avoided looking at the camera. But it was only the second day of her live stream, and she was still quite inexperienced.

[Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: ?]

[Two Isolated Islands: It seems Paper Inkstone Bro is also curious about your story with Fanzi Bro (smoking)]

[Queen Arrives: I don't think I saw Fan-kun yesterday, did he come before?]

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, her tone filled with gratitude: "Yes, yesterday was my first live stream. You guys weren't here yet. Fanzi-ge was the first person to enter my live stream and the first person to send me a gift~"

[Queen Arrives: Wow, from now on everyone will be Yu Bao's family!]

[Two isolated islands: The first one, no wonder the streamer cares so much]

[The fan is really useful: it was just a coincidence, haha]

[The fan is so useful: Also, everyone, you don't need to be so polite and call me 'brother,' just call me 'Fan' (pats head)]

Zhang Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Do you think I've made you sound old? Then I'll just call you Fanzi."

[The fan is really useful: Can I ask how old the streamer is first? You must still be a college student?]

"Yes, I'm a freshman this year."

[Fans are so useful: Haha, then we're about the same age, I'm a sophomore in college.]

"So we're the same age. It's definitely more friendly to just call each other by our names."

[The Queen Arrives: Fish Baby is so young, and the fan is so young too, youth is truly wonderful]

“My sister is also very young, only three or four years older than us, so we're practically the same age,” Zhang Xiaoyu said, blinking.

[Two isolated islands: ...Hey, why are we suddenly comparing ages? Won't someone like me, the older brother, be looked down upon?]

Everything was fine until suddenly I started to feel a bit anxious about my age...

Other lurkers also started sending comments in the live chat:

I'm only thirty. A man at thirty is still in his prime.

[...a 33-year-old programmer, but people often think I'm over 40 (looking very weathered)]

[I'm 35 and can't find a job anymore, so I've given up.]

【…】

Zhang Xiaoyu opened her mouth, and inexplicably felt that a gloomy wind seemed to be blowing through her live broadcast room, leaving her a little confused. How did it develop like this?

"Hey, Lonely Island Bro, can I ask you something?" Yes, that's how you change the subject.

[Two isolated islands: ? Asking my age?]

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head repeatedly: "It's not about asking your age. Even online, you should protect your privacy and yourself. It's about the guild. I've talked to several guilds, and I feel that Chenguang is better. What do you think, Brother Gudao?"

[Two Isolated Islands: Chenguang, not bad, quite famous on Xingguang, and I haven't heard any rumors about it ripping off streamers. But hasn't Glory contacted you?]

Glory is widely recognized as the number one guild in Starlight, not only as the current top female streamer in the beauty category, but also as the former top female streamer in the beauty category. Moreover, Glory has the most max-level streamers of all guilds, making it the undisputed No. 1.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "I did look for them, but I felt that Chenguang's offer was more attractive to me. After I signed with them, they said they would have a senior mentor me."

To put it bluntly, they'd arrange for her to PK with one of the top streamers in the guild to help her gain more popularity. And the streamer they promised wasn't just any top streamer, but the top female streamer from Chenguang Streaming.

The two isolated islands understood what the broadcaster meant.

[Two Isolated Islands: Those were indeed good times; it was as if they valued you.]

What he really valued was the big spender in the streamer's livestream room, someone who could spend 10 yuan a day. He was definitely worth considering; it wouldn't be a loss. Although there were those who would overspend and act like big spenders, he didn't think the streamer was that kind of person. Chen Guang also leaned towards the idea that this was a big spender with real financial resources.

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Okay, then I'll sign it."

[Queen Arrives: Fish Baby, even your Liu Qingdai was Chen Guang's, you can ask her.]

The Queen watched the live stream with a feeling of protecting her younger sister, like discovering a little seedling and wanting to watch it grow up.

"Sister Qingdai, I do follow her. Should I send her a private message after my broadcast?"

Zhang Xiaoyu actually felt that this was a bit of a hassle for people. They had only been together once, and although the atmosphere seemed pretty good, they couldn't really be considered friends.

[Two isolated islands: Why not connect them directly?]

"Huh? That's not a good idea. I'm worried about bothering her. I heard that big streamers are usually quite busy at night," Zhang Xiaoyu said, scratching her head and looking wide at the camera.

[Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: If you contact her, she will agree.]
