OFR – Chapter 7 The female anchor’s flattery

In the basement, Mu Bai had twenty romantic flower boxes.

Each romantic flower box cost 888 pepper beans, which was 88 yuan. Twenty of them amounted to over 1,700 yuan.

These gifts directly boosted Mu Bai’s Pepper Level to 15.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully reached Level 15, Feeling Cold.

Over 1,700 yuan was quite a sum for ordinary working-class people.

While tips in the thousands might be common for top streamers, for small streamers like Wang Yuwei, this was a first.

After all, money didn’t come easily, and over 1,000 yuan could do a lot. Even on Pepper, it was rare for fans to tip over a thousand at once.

After Mu Bai sent twenty romantic flower boxes, the atmosphere in Wang Yuwei’s livestream suddenly changed.

Fans who had just been mocking Mu Bai fell silent, and the remaining viewers began flooding the chat with “666.”

“Wow, 666! Feeling Cold’s showing his strength as a rich man.”

“Twenty flower boxes? That’s half a month’s salary for me.”

“Bowing down to the rich.”

“Already bowing securely.”

“Rich, can you be you my friend?”

“Haha, he just said he’d send flower boxes and did it. This newcomer’s got some guts.”

“No one can compare to him, 666.”

“Foolish with money.”

“Yeah, tipping a streamer over 1,000 yuan? You’re not even this generous to your wife, are you?”

……

Aside from “666,” the bullet comments on the screen also included exclamations, questions, and jealousy.

At this moment, Wang Yuwei covered her mouth in astonishment. She hadn’t expected Feeling Cold to actually send her twenty flower boxes.

It was the first time she had ever received such a large amount of gifts.

“Th-thank… thank you… I’m really grateful for the flower boxes Feeling Cold sent.”

Wang Yuwei struggled to swallow, her disbelief evident in her careful gaze. After confirming, she expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, thank you, Feeling Cold, for the twenty flower boxes. This is the largest gift I’ve ever received.”

Twenty flower boxes were almost equivalent to her monthly income before.

Having been a streamer for so long, Wang Yuwei knew that many big streamers received lots of gifts from sucking up to rich viewers.

Previously, she had a viewer at Pepper Level 51, who had spent over a hundred thousand RMB on gifts. However, after tipping her a few flower boxes, he started asking for her phone number and wanted to meet offline.

This direct approach made Wang Yuwei decline. Of course, the big spender left too, but as long as there was money, any livestream would welcome them.

Now, Feeling Cold had sent twenty flower boxes and only interacted with her on the livestream, which made Wang Yuwei feel somewhat surreal.

“Muah muah muah muah muah, I’m giving you a kiss too, Feeling Cold.” Wang Yuwei’s sweet voice carried a hint of flattery.

After all, when you encounter a big spender, any normal streamer would try to please them.

Wang Yuwei was no exception.

……

“Ding! Congratulations, host, for receiving sincere thanks from consumers.”

In the basement, Mu Bai listened to the mechanical system prompt in his ear. He realized that the random task was halfway completed, having received sincere thanks from the consumer.

“Phew, getting sincere thanks. Next is reaching a consumption of five thousand yuan.”

Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the random task was quite simple; tipping a small streamer like Wang Yuwei was an easy way to get sincere thanks.

At this moment, Mu Bai looked at Wang Yuwei’s livestream and saw her interacting with him. Watching the lively, kind, and innocent Wang Yuwei, Mu Bai thought that marrying someone like her in the future would be enough. What more could one ask for in a wife?

“Feeling Cold, are you still here? What song do you want to hear? I can sing for you, or if you want to see me dance, I can do that too, although I’m not very good at it.”

After kissing Feeling Cold, Wang Yuwei softly spoke in her livestream.

Mu Bai saw Wang Yuwei trying to please him and remained silent.

After all, this was society. Making money was tough. Mu Bai used to suck up to female customers just to earn over two thousand yuan a month, even enduring the advances of some unattractive female customers. After all, making money was tough.

Now, Wang Yuwei was just trying to please her fans and could earn quite a bit of money doing so, which was much easier for Mu Bai than before.

Mu Bai casually checked Wang Yuwei’s profile.

In her bio, she wrote that the top three contributors on the weekly ranking could add her on WeChat, and the top contributor could be her internet lover for a week.

“Hmm? Internet lover? Haha, this old classmate knows how to attract fans.”

Mu Bai chuckled softly.

Mu Bai didn’t find it strange. After all, he was a modern youth, not someone with outdated thoughts.

After all, being internet lovers just meant chatting and saying sweet words. There wasn’t anything substantial about it.

Mu Bai then checked the weekly contribution leaderboard.

He found that he was already first on the weekly leaderboard and in the top ten on the overall contribution leaderboard, only a few thousand Pepper beans away from first place.

……

At this moment, Wang Yuwei saw that Feeling Cold hadn’t responded to her. Nevertheless, she still softly asked in her livestream, “Feeling Cold, are you still here? Add me on WeChat, okay? Since you’re first on the weekly leaderboard, next week we can be internet lovers. I’ve sent you my WeChat ID in private message.”

Previously, internet lovers were always claimed by the top contributors. This week, Second Brother had also sent over three hundred yuan worth of gifts. Now, seeing a new person steal his first place, Second Brother felt a pang of discomfort.

It felt like someone had taken something of his, and it was uncomfortable.

Second Brother was an employee at a small company. Though he worked in an office, he was just a clerk responsible for organizing printed documents. His monthly salary was only a little over three thousand yuan, not even four thousand.

But Second Brother really liked this innocent student streamer, so every month, he would spend a thousand yuan on gifts for Little Star.

Ever since Little Star said that the top contributor could be her internet lover for a week, Second Brother had been first for four consecutive months. So, every week, he was Little Star’s internet husband.

Now, seeing someone snatch away his first place, Second Brother felt like he had just had his bottle of emotions overturned, feeling quite uncomfortable.

“No, I have to get it back.” After hesitating for a while, Second Brother gritted his teeth and recharged fifteen thousand Pepper beans on Pepper, adding the few thousand he had left in his account. He then directly sent ten “I love you” gifts to Little Star’s livestream.

The “I love you” gift cost 1888 Pepper beans, which was 188 yuan each. Ten of them already exceeded the value of twenty romantic flower boxes.

So, when these gifts popped up in Little Star’s stream, the chat exploded.

“666!”

“Second Brother is 666!”

“Wow, the veteran top contributor is showing his strength.”

“Haha, the new and old rich are competing.”

“Don’t chicken out, just compete.”
