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

"Wow!!! Xiaoyu, you're amazing! I was getting really bored halfway through my own stream, so I secretly peeked at yours and saw you received so many gifts!"

When Zhou Yueling realized that Zhang Xiaoyu had finally ended her live stream, she couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over, her eyes and tone filled with shock. She had been holding it in for a long time, but she hadn't dared to disturb Xiaoyu while she was live streaming, so now she could finally speak her mind.

"Huh? Yueling, did you watch my live stream? I didn't notice." Zhang Xiaoyu was a little surprised, followed by embarrassment.

It's one thing for everyone to know that they're live-streaming, but it's quite another to be watched by others; it creates a kind of awkward and shameful feeling.

Zhou Yueling: "That's not the point. The point is, I think Xiaoyu, you're really suited for live streaming! You're already making money right from the start. I always hear people say that some streamer has big brothers and sisters supporting them, but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. Xiaoyu, you have a big brother too!"

She felt like her eyes had been opened!

So she couldn't help but take a closer look at her friend. How come she hadn't noticed how amazing Xiaoyu was before?

Zhang Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy under Zhou Yueling's gaze and couldn't help but cover her eyes: "Okay, if you keep looking at me, I'm going to get goosebumps."

Xia Yiqing also stood up. In fact, she couldn't help but pay attention to Zhang Xiaoyu's situation during the live broadcast. She still found it hard to believe when she heard Zhang Xiaoyu thank the gifts she received, because she thought it was so surreal.

To be honest, Xia Yiqing didn't think she was belittling Zhang Xiaoyu. Her roommate was just an ordinary person with an average appearance, personality, and academic performance.

She had no bad habits, nor any outstanding merits.

But this very person shone brightly in the live stream, and in just two days she met a big spender who gifted her twenty items in one day!

She, who thought she was better than her in every way, showed no improvement during the live stream; she was the one who overestimated herself.

Xia Yiqing couldn't quite describe the feeling—shock, jealousy, bewilderment, confusion—as if she knew absolutely nothing about this world!

"Xiaoyu, how... how did you do that?" Xia Yiqing was really envious. First there was her high school classmate, now there was her college roommate. Live streaming really makes money, but she hasn't made any yet. It's so annoying!

Chen Shiya joined in the fun, asking, "Xiaoyu made money again?"

Zhou Yueling answered exceptionally quickly: "Xiaoyu's older brother already gave her so many gifts this morning, and then he gave her even more this afternoon, making it twenty in total!"

She held up two fingers at Chen Shiya with an exaggerated expression.

Chen Shiya: "20?"

Zhou Yueling: "Yes!"

Chen Shiya: "My God! Xiaoyu, this is too shocking! Are the guys watching this live stream really that rich?"

Zhou Yueling nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah, those guys up there are all rich, which makes our Xiaoyu seem even more amazing. She caught one in just one day!"

Zhang Xiaoyu understood how they felt at that moment. She herself was almost the same way; she was completely stunned and shocked.

"It's all good luck. Actually, I'm still scared. It feels unrealistic. My brother might run away at any time. I don't know why he's willing to watch my live stream."

Zhang Xiaoyu was always uneasy deep down because she didn't understand, or rather, she couldn't believe, that someone would do so much for her.

She considered many possibilities as to why the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones would shower her with so many gifts, but none of them had anything to do with her personally; perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Because the other person was bored, because they happened to see her, or because they accidentally clicked into her live stream, they stayed for various reasons.

In short, it wasn't because he liked her.

She still has this bit of self-awareness.

That's why, aside from some unease, she didn't feel overly anxious. She was prepared for the other person to leave at any time, even if he didn't come the next time she went live; she had already anticipated that possibility.

But she still prayed greedily that day would come as late as possible.

"No, no, no, Xiaoyu, you'll drive away your good fortune if you talk like that." Zhou Yueling almost spat twice, afraid that it would really come true.

Regardless of the reasons, this is a windfall for my friend, and of course it's a great thing.

"See? I told you so! As long as you're willing to try, you have a chance to become a rich woman! Xiaoyu, when you make a lot of money, you have to treat me to something delicious!"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, you don't need to wait until I make a lot of money. I'll treat you to something delicious when the money arrives next month."

Zhou Yueling: "Hehe, Xiaoyu, you're so nice~"

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled. She was doing her live stream thanks to her roommate's encouragement, and they usually had a harmonious relationship. If she had any extra money, she would be happy to treat everyone to a meal to celebrate.

Xia Yiqing looked at the two of them and felt a little envious of Zhou Yueling's mindset. In this respect, she was indeed not as open and honest as the other party.

"Xiaoyu, do you have any tips? Can you teach me?" Xia Yiqing asked with some difficulty. Asking someone who was inferior to her in every way was a very difficult thing for her, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

But she wanted to make money. The hardships she endured as a child taught her a valuable lesson early on: money can do many things, and with money, one doesn't need to go through those terrible things and can live a happy life.

Zhou Yueling immediately raised her hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhang Xiaoyu: "I want to learn too!"

Zhang Xiaoyu, of course, knew nothing of any techniques; she attributed her experience entirely to luck.

"Yiqing, Yueling, I really don't know any skills. I think it's just a matter of luck. During my live stream, a big streamer suddenly came to do a PK with me. She already had a lot of popularity, and then some big spender probably saw it by chance and helped me win against her."

"Later, another big streamer who knew this streamer was probably curious about me, so he also connected with me. In the end, she even played a game of multiplayer PK with me. That's how my live stream gained some popularity. Then, when I was playing, the big brother also helped me rank up and play PK."

In summary, it was an incredibly lucky day.

"Wow~ I see, that's really lucky." Zhou Yueling exclaimed after listening to the story, as if she were listening to a story.

Xia Yiqing was speechless. What else could she say? Zhang Xiaoyu had already told her the whole process. Could she possibly replicate it?

"Xiaoyu, is it really that easy for top streamers to connect with each other in that PK battle you mentioned?"

Xia Yiqing also tried playing a few rounds, but she encountered almost all small streamers, which was not interesting at all, and some of them were even worse than her.

Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't sure either: "The first big streamer I connected with was someone who forced me to connect. She just randomly picked a new streamer and happened to pick me. After that, it seemed like I didn't connect with any of them during random PKs, but the traffic is highest at night, so it should be easier to run into them then."

She herself is a novice and hasn't competed against many streamers, so she can't offer any useful advice.

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Xia Yiqing thanked him politely after listening, even though she hadn't gained anything from it.

She already has both skill and luck; she can wait a little longer.
