Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

"Everyone's in, let's begin, this is the last game of the day."

Xiaoyu added the three fans who had just played PUBG as friends, and after bringing them into the team, they started a match.

"Could you briefly introduce yourselves?" As the waiting phase began, Xiaoyu, mimicking Bubble, started to control the pace of the live stream.

One of the fans, who said "I'm not a primary school student," immediately spoke up: "We played together before, have you forgotten?"

"Huh?" Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, then realized, "Ah! Aren't you that guy from last time..."

"Yes, yes, that's me." The voice sounded very young; it was the elementary school student in Xiaoyu's team who was secretly playing games at home when Xiaoyu first met Bubble in the game.

"Are you secretly playing games again?" Little Fish asked curiously.

"No today. My parents let me play on the computer for a while on Saturday," the elementary school student said. "I was watching videos of myself when I realized that my teammate that day was a streamer, so I followed him."

Ai Qing was managing her fan group while watching the live stream, and when she saw this elementary school student, she clicked her tongue in disapproval.

It's not uncommon to see yourself in videos.

However, in that joint video between Little Fish and Bubble, this elementary school student was indeed quite interesting.

[The Ruthless God of War has arrived? Then this round is in the bag.]

What kind of ruthless war god?

[Back then, the two older girls in the group had such lovely voices, yet the elementary school student was completely absorbed in playing games. They really had a bright future!]

[Hilarious! When the bubble died, the elementary school student just walked away without looking back.]

[Bubble: Are you guys pretending I wasn't watching the live stream?]

The captain's insignia made his speech quite eye-catching, which made everyone even happier.

But unexpectedly, the second fan, named "Silence is Golden," also had a background.

"I'm... the one who hasn't said anything before," Silence is Golden said in the voice message.

"Oh, oh!" Little Fish recalled that when she was in line with Bubble, besides the elementary school students, there was also a guy named number four who only said two words the whole time. "I remember now."

[Brother Number Four?]

[Even socially awkward people can muster the courage to play games together!]

【Wait, what kind of luck does Xiaoyu have?】

Don't tell me the third one is a secret alt account that Bubble created.

"Ahem..." Zhou Xiaodong was also watching the comments on his phone and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly said, "I'm just an ordinary college student. I was just lucky this time."

Not only was he lucky, but he also tipped the captain over a hundred yuan!

This is his food money for several days.

Fortunately, there are only a few days left until next month, and the remaining money should be enough for him to eat.

After the introductions were completed, the four people were already on the plane.

With elementary school students and Brother No. 4 on the team, Xiaoyu isn't worried about the team's strength.

After all, they managed to win the game even with foam in their pocket back then. This time it's Zhou Xiaodong, and he's a guy, so he can't be too bad.

So she chose a relatively large town, marked the location, and landed with her teammates.

But to everyone's surprise, their team suffered a loss shortly after landing.

"Holy crap! There's someone here!" Zhou Xiaodong shouted. "Help me! Help me!"

"Where are you from? Explain yourself clearly," the elementary school student calmly pressed. "Is it in your house?"

"The house across from my window, I was knocked down as soon as I entered." Zhou Xiaodong was in a bad mood. He had just come up and embarrassed himself in front of the anchor, which made him feel inferior as if he had made a major mistake in his performance.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're coming," Xiaoyu quickly said. "You hide first."

“He jumped down, he’s probably coming to find me.” Zhou Xiaodong said anxiously, “Elementary school student, you’re nearby, come and save me.”

"Don't panic, I heard two footsteps, there's more than one of them." The elementary school student remained calm and slowly crept towards the sound.

"If you don't come here soon, I'm going to die!"

Boom!

The elementary school student's shotgun made a muffled sound, knocking down a guy who was hiding in a corner.

"There really was someone else. I knew the footsteps were off," the elementary school student muttered to himself, then ran toward Zhou Xiaodong.

But by then it was too late.

The other person on the other side went up to the second floor of the house and easily found Zhou Xiaodong trembling in the toilet, and sent him away without any mercy.

The good news is that the guy was immediately taken home by Xiaoyu and the others who arrived later, but Zhou Xiaodong was already dead beyond any doubt.

"Uh..." Brother Number Four stared blankly at Zhou Xiaodong's box and said, "How about we reopen it?"

"Reopen what?" the elementary school student said. "My time is very precious, you know."

"N-nothing..." Zhou Xiaodong sat in front of the computer, forcing a smile. "I'll just watch you guys fight."

"It's okay, you tipped the captain," Xiaoyu quickly reassured her. "Just come play with me during your next live stream."

Hey!

If Xiaoyu hadn't brought this up, Zhou Xiaodong would have been fine, but the mere mention of the captain made him even more upset.

As the captain, he only gave the reward on a whim because he cared about his image.

If given another chance, he definitely wouldn't give a tip.

It's only a little over a hundred yuan. He's not some rich guy; he only has a thousand yuan a month for living expenses. How could he have lost his mind like that?

He really wanted to ask if he could get his money back from the captain, but his pride prevented him from asking.

They were frozen in place.

Especially since he tipped the captain and joined the convoy, only to be eliminated immediately upon landing.

Having gained nothing and made a fool of himself in the live stream, Zhou Xiaodong now doesn't dare to look at the chat and can only stare at the perspective of Xiaoyu's actions on the screen.

He also realized that Xiaoyu usually streams from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, while he usually has to go to class at that time.

I only have time on weekends.

I tipped a captain just so I could play games with the streamer on the weekend, but it feels like a complete rip-off.

Xiaoyu and his two remaining teammates, of course, had no idea what this unlucky guy who was eliminated immediately after landing was thinking.

Even though there are only three of them, their combined strength is still very strong.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, I actually managed to win the game.

I played a total of five games in the afternoon, and I won the first and last games, so it was a very successful debut.

After the match ended, Xiaoyu thanked his three teammates and then stayed in the live stream for a few more minutes to chat with his viewers.

At 3:30, she said to the viewers in the live broadcast room: "That's all for today~ Thank you all for supporting Xiaoyu's first broadcast~ I usually chat in the fan group, you can join the group if you are interested."

"That's all for today then~"

See you all tomorrow!

After saying that, Xiaoyu closed the live stream, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh.

She then jumped up from her seat and ran towards Ai Qing.

Fortunately, Ai Qing was prepared and immediately raised her hand to stop her from getting too close, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll take you out for a big meal tonight to celebrate."

"Great!" Little Fish jumped up happily, and her already short skirt was lifted up, revealing her private parts.

Ai Qing guiltily looked away, then advised, "In the future, when you wear this kind of short skirt, either wear leggings underneath, or don't jump around like this, it's easy to expose yourself."

"Okay~" Little Fish said impatiently, "Then tonight, Little Fish will treat!"

Although the money from the tips won't be settled until next month, it's still real money, so let's just consider it an advance from Ai Qing for Xiaoyu.

"Row."

Ai Qing smiled and nodded. Seeing that Xiao Yu was able to make a name for herself in the live streaming industry, Ai Qing was definitely happy.

But just then, his phone vibrated.

When I took it out, I found that it was someone from Xiaoyu's fan group who had contacted me.

This surprised Ai Qing a little.

Surely no one would actually think of him as their brother-in-law and want to come over to make a good impression or gain favor?

Ai Qing's lips twitched. She clicked on it and took a look, then her brows immediately furrowed.

[Zhou Xiaodong]: Hello, are you Xiaoyu's brother?

[Zhou Xiaodong]: I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm just a college student with only 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses.

[Zhou Xiaodong]: I acted impulsively and tipped a captain.

[Zhou Xiaodong]: I'm very sorry, but could you please refund the captain's money to me?

[Zhou Xiaodong]: I'm really sorry, but without this money, I would be eating dirt this month.

Ai Qing: "..."

After carefully reading the message from this guy, Ai Qing was speechless.

I thought today's live stream would go smoothly, but I didn't expect this kind of unexpected trouble after it ended.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu leaned over for a look, then immediately opened her mouth wide. "Brother, what should we do? He doesn't have any money for food."

"What do you think we should do?" Ai Qing didn't directly state her plans, but instead asked Xiao Yu.

"Should we... or should we give it back to him?" Xiaoyu muttered to herself. "After all, he said he only gave the reward on a whim."

“But you can only get a maximum of half of a captain’s money,” Ai Qing reminded her. “Do you want a full refund, or just half?”

"Refunding only half isn't enough, is it? How about a full refund?" Xiaoyu said cautiously. After all, he was also a fan of her live stream, and he had even been eliminated early in the game when he played with Zhou Xiaodong earlier today.

Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed for not being able to give the fan a good experience, and was thinking that if there was a chance in the future, she would help this fan win a proper game.

So when faced with this situation, Xiaoyu still can't bring herself to be ruthless.

In fact, according to the proper procedures, unless Zhou Xiaodong can prove that he is a minor, he might be able to get the money back.
