Chapter 96 Summoning Magic
Chapter 96 Summoning Magic
[Maybe... they only searched for their own pretty photos.]
I doubt anyone would intentionally search for negative terms about themselves.
With so many keyboard warriors online, who with a weak stomach would actually go and look at it?
Even if someone has a strong tolerance for stress, there's no need for this.
Shu Hua looked at the comments and was actually convinced. "Okay, that's true. People usually search for their own favorite terms, right?"
Hopefully they'll learn from this experience and quickly optimize the keywords.
"Wouldn't I be considered to have helped them as well?"
The first round ended, and Shu Hua was undoubtedly in first place, a clear victory over Yue Se Ru Huai in second place.
Tao Zhiming came in third place, and Yi Kou Ruan Tang came in fourth.
The well-organized mint soda still managed to win back some points, preventing the gossip radio station from overtaking them, and securing fifth place.
The second round will be decided by the sixth-ranked gossip radio station.
Radio Talk: "Since we were on the overall leaderboard last round, let's aim for number ten this round. It'll be more lively with more people."
Let the older brothers and sisters take a break too.
However, how about we play a four-for-one strategy this time?
After listening to the rules for the second round, Moonlight Embrace remained as elegant as ever, adding, "The top ten is indeed lively. The time you set was such a mess, leaving only one minute at the end."
"This tower-stealing and tower-defending is going to be quite a spectacle!"
Hearing the teasing from "Moonlight Embraces the Heart," the gossip radio station chuckled, a hint of naivety in their eyes, but a glint of calculation flashed in their eyes.
Ranking high on the overall charts has never been his forte. He's not particularly good-looking, and he only has fans because he's witty and humorous.
These kinds of fans won't send big gifts, but they do like to join in the fun if they rank in the top ten or twentieth on the charts.
That's one of his strengths.
Actually, when the first game saw them switch to the overall leaderboard, the gossip radio station was also happy.
This would place him sixth, giving him the initiative in the second game.
Moreover, his fans know that he is not good at ranking on the overall charts, so they don't get emotional about it.
Having just suffered a humiliating fall during a squat, Gummy Bear was clearly determined to redeem herself.
Upon hearing "top ten," her eyes lit up, she quickly adjusted her posture, and her signature sweet smile returned to her face, even more deliberately bright than before.
When Peppermint Soda heard that he was ranked tenth, he was overjoyed. This was his forte, and he was actually second to last in the last round. This time, he was determined to redeem himself.
Compared to the joy on everyone else's faces, Tao Zimo was a little nervous. She mainly relied on her older brother, and she usually liked to advise people not to give her gifts.
As a result, her little fans can only click a few little hearts.
If she ranks tenth, she's really not good enough; she should be at the bottom.
This time, Tao Zhiming didn't feel bad about losing, but instead felt motivated to work harder.
But she didn't know what to do, and looked conflicted.
Tao Zhiming couldn't help but look at Shu Hua, whose situation was most similar to hers. Shu Hua, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, as if she wasn't nervous at all.
According to Tao Zhiming, although Shu Hua seems a bit lazy, she really wants to win when it comes to PK battles.
Or perhaps, because she won first place in the first round, Shu Hua plans to forfeit this round so that she can control the rules of the third round.
That seems reasonable.
Thinking about the result of the first game, Tao Zhiming's eyes flashed with confusion and disappointment.
She originally thought she didn't care about the results of the competition, but this time, with third place, she found herself not as calm as before.
Could it be that her mindset has changed after being a live streamer for so long?
Shu Hua wasn't calm; on the contrary, she was somewhat secretly excited, but she couldn't show it.
Otherwise, her fake fans would have been able to tell right away.
That won't do; she'll scare these people.
Seeing that no one had anything to say about the rules for the second round, Yue Se Ru Huai said, "Good, it seems everyone is ready."
"Okay, let's start the second round, tenth place. Ten minutes timer, let's begin now."
The Moonlight Embraces the PK settings were configured, so everyone muted their microphones and began giving commands.
Shu Hua deliberately muted her microphone a few seconds late, and the previously quiet live stream room suddenly became very lively.
The others were all giving instructions skillfully, but to Shu Hua's surprise, Tao Zhiming was also actively giving instructions, although she looked quite unfamiliar with it.
After listening for a few seconds, Shu Hua finally turned off her microphone.
Shu Hua's live stream instantly fell silent, leaving only her face with a slightly "watching the show" expression.
[As expected, he's ranked tenth. I could have guessed it. It seems everyone knows that Huazai's popularity isn't high.]
Even if you don't know, seeing that huge gap in scores in the last game, you know you can't compete with Huazai purely on financial resources.
[Guess where this artist will rank on the leaderboard this time? I bet a bag of spicy strips that last place is a sure thing!]
[Not necessarily. Tao Tao and Hua Zai next door are about the same.]
[That might have been true before, but Tao Tao has evolved now. Look at how actively he's giving directions, and then look at ours.]
[Our little one looks sleepy, how can it compare to anyone else? Don't elevate the status of the drawing boy.]
[It's already good enough if our family can get all ten members on the list, let's not even compare scores for tenth place.]
[Hey, I'd better send a little heart quickly, maybe I can make it into the top ten.]
【Our grades are really good, they're little hearts!】
[Life is but a dream: You can save your hearts for now.]
[Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes: This one of ours is up to no good.]
[Black Cleaver Shard: Not sleepy.]
【???????】
I have something to say.
I have one too...
Lately, the older guys have been ostracizing us; we have to give them a few red envelopes to appease them.
[+11111, a red envelope is a must!]
[Let's finish the gossip first, then we'll send out the red envelopes!]
[A red envelope is fine with me!]
No way, once the red envelope is sent, who cares about the melon?
I've washed my hands~
[Upstairs, you were so quick! Where's your backbone?!]
[In front of the red envelope, all I can see are ribs; what does "backbone" mean? I have no idea!]
Shu Hua saw that these fake fans were indeed expecting her to come in last place, and she tried hard to suppress her laughter. Then she saw that these people were making a fuss about sending red envelopes again.
Fearing that those people who weren't short of money might actually give out red envelopes, she quickly said, "No, you're not allowed to give out red envelopes, none of you are allowed to touch anything!"
"Hmph, you just said so many bad things about me, and you still want red envelopes? Don't even think about it."
【Hey, you've changed! You weren't like this before!】
[Slander? That's clearly a loving encouragement! It's meant to ignite your fighting spirit, kid!]
[Exactly! We said you were last because we didn't want you to get arrogant! It was a reverse jinx! We meant well!]
[Drawing boy~ Drawing boy~ Look at my sincere eyes (frantically blinking.gif), a live stream without red envelopes is incomplete!]
[The electronic beggar is ready! He's even got his bowl ready (broken bowl.jpg), just waiting for the bosses to shower him with red envelopes!]
[Reported! Reported! The streamer is suspected of abusing viewers' mental health! A bribe is needed to withdraw the report!]
Brothers and sisters, type "send red envelopes" in the chat! Flood her with comments! (send red envelopes) (send red envelopes) (send red envelopes)
[Let's form a red envelope (send red envelopes) (send red envelopes) (send red envelopes)!]
[Hey kid, look at all these 'red envelopes' filling the screen, doesn't it look like a debt you owe us? (doge)]
Shu Hua was happy again when she saw the screen full of comments asking for red envelopes.
Hehe, that's more like it. This is her live stream, how can she let people talk bad about her and not fight back?
I glanced at the time; there was still one minute until I arrived at the Chengqu Bureau.
So, he raised his hands, made a very cringeworthy gesture, imitating the way spellcasters in fantasy dramas, and shouted, "Guards, attack!"
【??????????????】
[What are you doing, Huazai?]
Is this... some kind of mysterious summoning ritual?
[Warning: High-energy content ahead! The Painting Master is about to cast a spell!]
[Quickly, someone come to protect him! The little rascal is drawing talismans!]
[Seriously, officer? They're already performing rituals before the proceedings even begin?]
[That gesture...it looks so familiar. Isn't that the starting gesture for summoning mythical beasts in that fantasy drama?]
[Immortal Venerable! Are you finally going to unleash your supreme power?!]
[Report! I'm reporting the streamer for promoting feudal superstition in their live stream! (doge)]
[Who's here? Who's here? The big brothers? Hey kid, are you sure that gesture can summon big brothers? Or is it summoning red envelopes?]
[Got it! This is a summoning spell! The target is—a rain of red envelopes!]
[Where are the spellcasting materials? Where are the offerings? Are they going to sacrifice us, their little fans?]
[Hey kid, wake up! You're a streamer, not a cultivator!]
[Oh no, the streamer has been possessed! His chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirit is burning brightly!]
I think I can hear the background music from "Balala Energy"...
[That gesture, combined with that expression, makes me think my toes are already under construction!]
[Guards! Guards! Seal down that kid's delusional behavior!]
This was so awkward! So awkward I had to carve out my own Barbie castle!
[The immortal lord possesses boundless magical power, please grant me a red envelope! (Pious.jpg)]
[This is a guaranteed social media disaster! Screenshot it! Screenshot it! From now on, it'll be used as a meme to threaten the artist!]
[“Painting Daddy” gave away 10 “Eternal Realm” (199999 Sound Coins) in the live stream “Dream Walker Traveling Through the Painting Realm”]

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】
【Wait, Hua Zai's summoning spell actually works? ? ? 】
[Holy crap?! The Emperor of Painting truly has the power to make his words law?!]
[Someone's here! Someone's really here! And they've brought the carnival with them!]
[The Immortal Venerable's power is boundless! This disciple is willing to join the Painting Sect! (Kowtowing repeatedly.gif)]
[Wait... what are these spellcasting materials? Is it our吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) energy? ???]
[Look at these IDs! Look at those IDs! "Just broadcasting 888"? "The streamer isn't awake_00"? What kind of weird names are these?!]
[System-wide outreach to provide warmth and care?]
[Cyber Summoning Technique! Summoning Target: A randomly generated AI with a large paycheck!]
[This time, the artist used his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) power to break down the dimensional barrier and even brought out the test accounts in the system backend!]
[System: High-intensity chuunibyou energy fluctuation detected. Emergency plan activated: Distribute carnival to appease users!]
I strongly suspect that Huazai registered a bunch of alternate accounts beforehand, just waiting for this moment to play tricks!
[The person upstairs revealed the truth! The artist's army of split personalities! One person plays multiple roles!]
[Splitting personality? No! This is Hua Zai's shadow clone technique! Each clone carries a carnival gift pack!]
Doesn't anyone think Dad looks out of place among this group of carnivalgoers?
I wish I could be just as out of place!
To perfect this gesture, Shu Hua watched several fantasy dramas overnight, enduring countless bizarre plots and cringe-worthy acting.
She finally found the one she thought was most suitable, 0.1x speed, and studied it for a long time.
Fortunately, it worked on the first try.
Shu Hua's face was beaming with a smug smile, looking cute but more like she deserved a beating.
"Hehe, isn't my summoning magic amazing!"
Let's see who still says I'll be last! Look, look!
Daddy, Young Master Duan, Young Master He, and Young Master Xun did a great job!
The housekeeper has worked hard too!
You bunch of fake fans, you're all so stereotypical.
I knew I was going to play many games today, so how could I not have predicted that someone would want to compete for the top ten spots on the leaderboard?
I was prepared all along. Let me show you, I have plenty of ministers!
Oh, Daddy, you're the emperor emeritus, not a subject.
Shu Hua had just finished her boastful words when 3 minutes were up.
With 10 Carnivals in hand, Shu Hua is in first place again this round, while Moonlight Embraces is still in second place.
The third place is a soft candy, the fourth place is mint soda, the fifth place is a gossip radio station, and the sixth place is Tao Zhimo.
Shuhua is still far ahead this time, but the scores of the 23rd, 4th and 5th place teams are neck and neck, and it is clear that all of them are waiting for the last minute to steal the lead.
Tao Zhiming's scores were very high for the top few, but unfortunately, the score for the tenth place was too low.
It seems very likely that Tao Zhiming will be in last place in this round.
Tao Zhiming was very surprised when she saw Shu Hua's score, as she thought Shu Hua would get the same score as her.
Unexpectedly, one team ranked first by a wide margin, while the other ranked last.
Tao Zhiming's eyes, which were always filled with a gentle smile, were now brimming with an overwhelming sense of bewilderment and loss.
In the last three minutes, she broke her usual routine and did not say the familiar phrase, "Everyone should do what they can."
She no longer just waited for fans to direct her; although she was still a bit inexperienced, she started to actively and diligently direct her own work.
