Great, it's a scalper, we're saved!

As a female anchor who makes a living based on her looks, Xu Na loves beauty.

In order to make a good impression when meeting the top male fan, she spent a lot of time today carefully putting on a very satisfactory makeup.

She also knew that her appearance before makeup was at best a 3 out of 10.

But I'm wearing makeup now!

How could the photo be so ugly?!

It's even... ugly to the point that it shocks even itself.

Although it's an old camera from over a decade ago, it's still a camera after all. With such high-definition photos, many skin imperfections that I hadn't noticed before are clearly visible!

Ugly! Absolutely too ugly!

It's so ugly I don't have the courage to look at it!

"Hey bro, do you think... this looks good?"

Despite her internal breakdown, Xu Na maintained her composure, trying to control the twitching muscles in her face, and tentatively asked a question.

"It looks good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Fan began to speak in a serious tone.

"Look at these pictures, don't you get that aloof and cold feeling?"

Zheng Fan turned his head and asked with a curious expression.

Upon hearing this, Xu Na's expression stiffened.

Of the four words "aloof and aloof," she could only sense the last one.

cold, too cold.

The biting cold made me want to shiver.

However, seeing Zheng Fan's serious yet surprised expression, Xu Na breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it seems... Zheng Fan just has a problem with his aesthetic sense?

That's good. The photos are a bit ugly, but they won't affect my plans.

My most important task right now is to get closer to Zheng Fan.

"Wow, you're amazing! I've never taken photos like this before!"

Xu Na nodded with starry eyes, feigning admiration.

Holy crap!!!!

"Dude, what are you filming?"

"Did they smear poop on the camera lens?"

"Was it intentional or accidental for the streamer?"

"Holy crap, I almost spat out my food! Damn it!"

"This is the first time I've seen a species so distorted by photography."

"Dude, you were being all mysterious earlier, how come the video turned out like this?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"This is 100% intentional! It's definitely aimed at disgusting Xu Na!"

"What the hell is this atmosphere like? Are we really surrounded by dung?"

"Why is Xu Na looking at me with such adoration? Isn't this going to explode?"

"What the hell did that dog-like streamer give Xu Na? How can she still force herself to praise her?"

"Hahahaha! Xu Na almost fainted just now."

"Damn, Xu Na wouldn't pay for photos like this, would she?"

"How did the anchorwoman do that? Does Xu Na have something wrong with her eyes?"

"..."

Upon seeing these photos of Zheng Fan, all the audience members present couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing in the live broadcast room.

……

"I told you so. I've been taking photos for decades, and no one has ever said my photos are ugly."

Zheng Fan nodded with a proud expression.

"If you're so satisfied, how about we take a few more pictures?"

Then, Zheng Fan asked.

"No, no!"

Xu Na immediately waved her hand in refusal.

"Let's just look at the last few pictures; they have other things to do later."

"If you want to take pictures, let's find a secluded spot tonight."

Xu Na took a deep breath and said coquettishly.

"Alright."

Zheng Fan nodded, and then pressed the next button.

The last set of photos was taken in an open space.

In other words, Zheng Fan wanted to take photos that conveyed a sense of liveliness.

Xu Na remembers that she was quite far away when the photo was taken, and the lighting in the open space was excellent.

Even if this set of photos is terrible, it's definitely better than the first two sets, right?

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Xu Na slowly turned her eyes to look at the camera screen.

The next second, his mouth gaped open and his vision went black.

This set of photos is perfectly focused; there's no blur.

The exposure was normal, and her skin appeared very fair.

The shot was taken from a distance, and there were no particularly striking close-ups of details.

But the problem is...

What the hell is this effect?!

In the photo, I'm standing with my legs wide apart, like a strange creature, frozen in mid-air.

The flesh on his face rippled and spread out like waves as he jumped.

Is this what they call being lively?!

The second photo, in particular, left Xu Na completely stunned.

She remembers clearly that when this photo was taken, Zheng Fan made himself squat down in a crouching position.

They even said it resembled a newborn kitten.

But looking at it now...

Is this a hammer-shaped kitten?!

Isn't this just like Lao Ba squatting in a tin toilet?!

The only animal that can be associated with this photo is not a kitten, but possibly a hyena.

At this moment, Xu Na finally understood.

I... I was definitely tricked by Zheng Fan!

What other way can you explain those photos as having bizarre aesthetics?

But this set of photos is clearly taken on purpose to make people look ugly!

Such a bizarre posture is something no normal person could ever imagine!

"Ugh... Pfft... Hahahaha..."

Just as Xu Na's brain went blank, she suddenly heard a girl's cheerful laughter.

Xu Na subconsciously turned around and saw Jiang Sishan covering her mouth with an embarrassed expression, chuckling out.

Immediately, Xu Na felt her face turn red and a surge of anger welled up inside her!

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Xu Na tried her best to control her voice and looked at Zheng Fan coldly.

Upon seeing Zheng Fan trying to control his twitching lips, Xu Na couldn't help but clench her fists, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The last glimmer of hope has vanished completely!

Even Zheng Fan himself couldn't help but laugh. What else could he possibly say?!

I've been played like a clown by Zheng Fan until now?!

Thinking about the attitude she had just displayed, Xu Na gritted her teeth, her mind filled with shame and anger.

"No."

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, controlled his expression, and said this calmly.

He was a little surprised; he hadn't expected the last two photos to be so stunning that he couldn't help but admire them.

"Then why did you take such an ugly picture?"

Xu Na's voice was low and filled with burning anger.

"Ugh."

Zheng Fan sighed deeply, his brows furrowed with melancholy. He stood up from his seat and looked at Xu Na with a meaningful expression.

"You need to accept your true self and make peace with yourself."

……

"Hahahaha! Holy crap!"

"What the hell is this about making peace with yourself? Hahahaha!"

"Now it's 100% confirmed, this streamer is really serious!"

"I can't take it anymore, my abs are practically popping out from laughing."

"I laughed so hard that two tears came out."

"That damn streamer is such a good actor! That melancholy look of his, I thought he was going to say something!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"..."

The moment Zheng Fan finished speaking, the viewers in the live broadcast room could no longer contain themselves and burst into laughter.

……

Xu Na was initially bewildered by Zheng Fan's expression.

Could it be that we've wronged Zheng Fan?

Does he really think it looks good?

Did I hurt my self-esteem by saying that the photos I took were ugly?

However, upon hearing this, Xu Na's expression crumbled and she stood frozen in place.

"You! You call this realistic? You didn't deliberately take such an unflattering picture of me?!"

Xu Na was furious and embarrassed. She pointed at Zheng Fan with a trembling finger and even stuttered as she spoke.

"My camera doesn't lie, this is exactly what you look like."

"Then why are other people's photos different from yours? Jiang Sishan's photos are much better than yours!?"

"I'm a photographer, not a magician."

"You deliberately chose these poorly lit places, right?—under trees and in alleyways!"

"It's not that the lighting is bad, it's that your skin is in poor condition."

"So you're just trying to make my face look bigger by taking close-up shots, aren't you?"

"Your face is naturally big, so it looks big no matter how you're photographed."

"You!! You! You! Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

"If you're not stupid, you're probably quite smart."

"..."

Xu Na was stunned for a moment, trying to process the logic behind that statement.

A moment later, Xu Na could no longer hold back, her anger burning, and she glared at Zheng Fan through gritted teeth.

"Delete it!"

She had lost interest in continuing the argument; no matter what she said, Zheng Fan would simply retort with a nonchalant air.

And this counterattack was a critical hit! Real damage!

Right now, Xu Na's biggest wish is to get out of this nightmarish place as soon as possible.

Every time she saw the spot where she had just taken a picture, she couldn't help but shudder.

However, to Xu Na's relief, after Zheng Fan's outburst, Jiang Sishan had no reason to pester her for money anymore.

Although I almost developed a psychological trauma from the filming, at least I saved some money for myself.

"Delete it?"

"What's wrong? You took such an ugly picture, and you still want money from me?"

Xu Na said fiercely.

"I can take photos for free, but..."

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a set of white teeth.

"50 yuan for deleting one photo."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Na's eyes widened, and she felt as if the world had gone silent.

In that instant, Xu Na suddenly wondered if she was already dead.

Otherwise, why do the things I see and hear not seem like things from the mortal world?

Taking photos is free...

But deleting a photo costs 50?!

what? !

ah???!!

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"

"Holy crap!! So the streamer's scheme went all the way here?"

"What the hell?! Deleting a photo costs 50 yuan! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

"No, did the streamer intend to do this from the beginning?"

"What the hell kind of brain circuit is this???"

"Damn it, they just saw how much Xu Na loves beauty, so they deliberately took unflattering photos to make money, right??"

"I'm about to laugh myself to death, hahahahahaha!!!"

"The dog streamer's live broadcast is even more exciting than Biyao's movie watching!"

"My camera doesn't lie, hahahahahahahahaha!!"

"Every word hit Xu Na right where it hurts!"

"If he's not stupid, he must be pretty smart!"

"..."

……

After a long while, Xu Na finally recovered from her shock.

Immediately, she took a deep breath, glared fiercely at Zheng Fan, let out a cold snort, and walked out with her bag.

50 yuan for deleting one photo?

They're playing tricks!

Keep the photos for yourself!

However, as soon as she turned to leave, she heard Zheng Fan and Jiang Sishan talking behind her.

"How was it? Did I take a good picture?"

"Hahaha, um... thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for?"

"You helped me vent my anger!"

"This is nothing. Post these photos on Xiaohongshu. Don't you have a lot of followers there?"

"Oh? That's not a good idea. What if she reports me?"

"What are you afraid of? If it goes to court, you'll only have to pay a few thousand dollars at most. I'll pay it for you."

"That's not worth it at all."

"It's worth it. Isn't she a streamer? Her fans should see these beautiful photos."

"But……"

"No buts, send it now."

Upon hearing this conversation, Xu Na stopped abruptly, her body stiffening as she mechanically turned her head.

If my fans saw these photos, what would be the point of all this?!

His broadcasting career was completely ruined!

Even the top-ranked guy had to carry a train and run away overnight!

and……

Even if you report it, even if you sue Jiang Sishan for illegally using his image.

Not to mention that in the end they can only lose a little money.

the most important is……

Do I really need to prove that these photos are of me?!

Just thinking about that scene sent a chill down Xu Na's spine.

"You win!"

Xu Na walked straight back, her eyes blazing, and took out her phone to scan Jiang Sishan's payment code.

Immediately afterwards, as if completely exhausted, he hurriedly left without looking back.

……

Unlike the jubilant atmosphere in the live broadcast room, Huang Lei stared blankly at the live broadcast screen in the studio.

What happened to taking beautiful photos? What happened to ensuring that Xu Na and Jiang Sishan both benefited from the experience?

What happened? The plot suddenly took a dramatic turn, with 50 photos being deleted?!

Indeed, this definitely creates a lot of entertainment value.

Moreover, not only did they help Jiang Sishan get the money, they also punished Xu Na as a result.

But the problem is!

Where do I put my face?!

This result is completely different from what I confidently predicted!

"Teacher Huang Lei, our live stream for today has ended."

"Mr. Huang Lei, what do you think were the highlights of today's live stream?"

The soldier standing nearby naturally knew Huang Lei's mood at this moment, and, suppressing a laugh, deliberately stirred things up by asking a question.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

It's one thing to be slapped in the face, but how the hell is this supposed to be elevated to a higher level?

Jiang Sishan did receive the money, which means Zheng Fan did a good deed.

But Xu Na was clearly furious!

How the hell can this be elevated?!

"Well..."

"Our anchor is incredibly kind-hearted!"

Huang Lei gasped and spoke with difficulty.

"Do you all remember when Zheng Fan was taking photos of Xu Na, he used small animals to guide Xu Na into the shooting mood?"

"What does this mean? It means that Zheng Fan wants to use his influence to call on everyone to care for animals."

"A proud predator, a newborn kitten. What a vivid image!"

"One is strong, the other is gentle."

"Isn't this a metaphor for humans, as higher animals, and pitiful little animals?"

"Our streamer really put in a lot of effort!"

Huang Lei spoke slowly and deliberately, and by the time he finished, he was covered in sweat and his face was flushed.

"Holy shit!"

"If anyone's in Beijing, I'll pay 1000 to beat up this Huang Lei."

"I'll offer 2000!"

"This is fucking incredible!"

"What the hell is this about animal welfare?! Holy crap!"

"..."

……

"Has the money arrived?"

Watching Xu Na's departing figure, Zheng Fan asked.

"Uh-huh!"

Jiang Sishan nodded, her face full of excitement, her expression somewhat dreamy.

She didn't expect that she would get the money so easily.

"Thank you!"

Immediately, Jiang Sishan came to Zheng Fan and bowed solemnly.

Zheng Fan waved his hand, about to speak, when a message notification sounded in his pocket.

[You seem to be having a lot of fun flirting with girls.]

Upon seeing the message before him, Zheng Fan immediately frowned.

He knew the sender of the message very well; it was Xiong Jiajia.

This morning, he unblocked the messages.

Why are you suddenly saying this now?

Picking up girls?

Does this refer to Jiang Sishan?

Was Xiong Jiajia spying nearby?!

Are you watching my live stream?

However, Zheng Fan quickly realized it.

This Xiong Jiajia is probably watching her own live stream. After all, she's her first customer.

What else can we do?

How did you know I was livestreaming?

Seeing that Xiong Jiajia had confirmed it, Zheng Fan's doubts only deepened.

Logically speaking, since I'm participating as a scalper, I shouldn't have many spectators.

How did Xiong Jiajia know that she was live streaming?

How would I know? You have no idea how famous you are? Go search it up yourself. [Butter Puppy: Hehe]

"Am I popular?"

Zheng Fan's expression froze.
