The match began.

Lin Lin insta-locked again...

Alright, fine. This time she'd behave and pick an info-gathering agent. She'd rely on her teammates.

Seeing Lin Lin pick someone else, Brother Gou locked in the cheerful Wind Girl she'd played last game.

[LMAO, what is this, live coaching?]

[So a friend is teaching the streamer how to play, huh?]

[The streamer really opened up her horizons on this one.]

“Ahem, ahem. It's mainly because my friend wanted to play!”

The girl tried to save a little face.

This...

Brother Gou wasn't using voice chat either. That made it kind of awkward.

...

Sitting on the other side of the screen, Gao Liang had actually wanted to turn on his mic.

But just as his fingers touched the keyboard, he suddenly realized something. Then he quietly lowered his hand.

No. His identity was too special.

He couldn't just use voice chat casually. At the very least, he'd need to process his voice first.

He silently lowered his head. Since that was too much trouble, he just started playing. Anyway, the stream was on. He could still hear what Lizi was saying, right?

The round started.

This snow-covered map was a bit special. At A site, both attackers and defenders had a high platform they could stand on. A zipline connected the middle, making it the best spot for long-range duels. B site, meanwhile, was packed with boxes and narrow corridors, better for close-range fights.

Lin Lin's team was defending. Generally speaking, on this map, attacking A was the easier choice. So at the start, Gao Liang and Lin Lin both bought their gear and headed straight to A to hold it.

The remaining teammates split up. Some watched mid, some watched B. So only Lin Lin and Gao Liang were left at A, waiting for the countdown to end, for the barrier to drop, and then...

Lin Lin stood on the high platform, aiming at the enemy platform. She fired a recon arrow, and enemy silhouettes appeared on the map. Lin Lin immediately shouted, “Brother Gou, five! All five!”

Then she heard the sound of Brother Gou grabbing the zipline and sliding toward the enemy platform.

Huh?!

Wasn't that just feeding?!

The girl stared in confusion as Brother Gou slid over, pulled out his revolver, and then—

Bang. Bang. Bang.

“First blood.”

“Double kill!”

“Triple kill!”

Aba aba...

The girl stared blankly at the kill feed in the top right.

Uh...

Every shot was a headshot.

This... this was a smurf!

What was there to worry about anymore?

Lin Lin grabbed the zipline and followed him right away. Then she pushed with him, stretching the angle. Very quickly, they found the last two enemies, the ones who had pushed a little slower.

Then came another bang from Brother Gou, and one more enemy dropped.

“Quadra kill!”

He fired again, but this time he missed the head. That person was only left at low HP.

Lin Lin seized the chance.

Her little pistol went biu biu~

Successful cleanup.

“Woohoo!” the girl giggled stupidly. It had been hard enough for her to get a kill. The little vampire was so happy she even started humming.

But sitting in front of his screen, Brother Gou still felt a little unsatisfied.

The... the little vampire had stolen his penta.

And she looked pretty happy about it?

[LMAO, the streamer really knows how to steal a penta.]

[Wait, did I just hear the streamer call her friend “Brother Gou”? Is it the real Brother Gou?]

[Holy crap, the streamer is gaming with her top donor? Is this what rank-one donor perks look like?]

[Don't force it. Isn't this torture for the top donor? Brother Gou is hard-carrying Lizi here.]

[If I buy a captain membership, can I play with Lizi too? I want in, I want in!]

“Uh...”

The girl shook her head awkwardly.

Part of it was because she'd just stolen Brother Gou's penta, and only after chat pointed it out did she realize it. The other part was that she'd accidentally read out Brother Gou's ID just now.

Well, great.

Now the chat was flooding with people buying memberships.

Before long, six or seven new captains had appeared out of nowhere. Of course, there were still no commanders.

Uh...

The girl started to feel troubled. “Um, ahem, thanks to Boss X for the captain membership, thanks to Boss Y, thanks to Boss Z... um, maybe later. After this game, I'll play with everyone. If there are too many people, then if it doesn't work, we'll save it for next time. Spend responsibly, okay? Spend responsibly.”

[Pfft, Lizi is totally scared silly.]

[Go Lizi, Lizi strongest!]

[Minors, don't buy memberships!]

[System: Overflowing with generosity! User “LookAgainAndYou'reADog” sent Little Radish Cheer! Come watch!]

Lin Lin froze.

A moment ago, the screen had only been showing scattered small gift notifications. Then Brother Gou entered the stage directly. As if he was annoyed at the barrage of membership-buying comments, he sent a full-screen gift worth 5,000 RMB. The effect was similar to the earlier super rocket, except this one stayed on screen even longer and got announced site-wide.

[Holy crap, the big shot is making his move!]

[Brother Gou, forever the GOAT! If you want to game with Lizi, at least buy commander first, lmao.]

[The white-text guy above, shut up. You don't even have a badge!]

[LMAO, can you beat my one-yuan iced cola gift?]

Watching the all-out war in chat, the girl fell silent.

Somehow, it felt like chat was putting on a better show than she was...

Ahem. Anyway, snapping back to herself, the girl quickly said to Brother Gou,

“Ahem, Brother Gou, thanks for the gift. Um... about stealing your penta just now, sorry. I didn't mean to...”

[LookAgainAndYou'reADog: It's fine. Just keep following me.]

[Ohhh~ where is this random CP energy coming from? I'm shipping it!]

[No, not that kind of thing! I'm one of Lizi's boyfriend fans, I can't accept this!]

[LMAO, us male-mom fans fear nothing.]

[Is there a possibility—and I'm just saying, is there a possibility—Brother Gou is actually a cute girl? Are they doing yuri?]

[Huh? Possible. Brother Gou doesn't use voice chat either!]

[Thanks for the invite, my boyfriend-fan soul has revived. I'm shipping this so hard!]

Looking at the chaotic swarm of CP shippers in chat, Lin Lin quickly shook her head. Gao Liang also hurriedly typed on screen:

[LookAgainAndYou'reADog: I meant follow me while we hold A!]

Lin Lin also stepped in at the right time and said, “Exactly, exactly. Don't talk nonsense. Brother Gou already has a little loli deskmate! I'm from the demon world. I don't have those worldly desires. I only want to eat duck blood tofu, meow.”

After saying that, the girl turned back to the screen.

The second round began, and the match continued.

Brother Gou went on a slaughter spree.

In the third round, Lin Lin bought Gao Liang a sniper rifle, and Gao Liang bought Lin Lin a rifle.

Another slaughter spree!

His sniper felt great today.

Gao Liang smiled. Looking at the pink sniper stock in his hands, he couldn't help sighing. So this was a girl's style, huh?

The little vampire's sniper felt especially smooth to use.

Meanwhile...

Lin Lin looked awkwardly at the sniper in Brother Gou's hands, feeling a little guilty inside.

Back then, for some reason, she'd had this weird sense of humor and insisted on getting a pink sniper.

It was so... so ridiculously girly, meow.

It was kind of hard to bear.

After that, it was just Brother Gou carrying Lin Lin all the way through a nonstop massacre. For some reason, the enemy team kept hard-rushing A. If one round failed, they'd rush it again the next. By the end, Lin Lin's whole team was just huddled at A.

Brother Gou was genuinely slaughtering them.

The score was 6:0.

Brother Gou had twenty kills.

6:0.

This should be stable now.

The girl smiled slightly, raised an arm, and shouted in a relaxed voice:

“I have never had such a wonderful opening!”
