Listen to this chapter:

The screen quickly split in two as the other streamer accepted the challenge. She clearly wanted to maintain the momentum of her winning streak.

However, her expression turned disdainful when she saw Felicia.

"Gee, I saw someone challenging me and thought it was someone really popular. Turns out it's just a newbie streamer, and such a pretty one, too!" she sneered, her sarcasm obvious.

After all, Felicia wasn't wearing any makeup and was plainly dressed. This wasn't the kind of appearance live-stream audiences looked forward to.

However, Felicia remained unbothered. She adjusted her glasses and replied flatly, "Don't flatter yourself. Even if a pro were challenging someone, they'd aim higher. I could beat you easily."

"What did you just say?"

Felicia's remark was enough to set the streamer, Daira, off. Compared to her relaxed attitude earlier with Lina, Daira's tone was now dripping with venom.

"Do you really think someone like you can beat me? No man would ever want a dirty rat like you. You're just a waste of space!" Daira hissed. "I bet your fate is to head back to the villages and scam an old bachelor into marrying you. Then, you'll take his money and remain a widow to a farmer for the rest of your life!"

Her fans immediately began showering her with gifts to calm her down.

"Don't be angry, Daira. Here's a Supercar for you."

"Yeah, just ignore that loser."

"I'm sure you'll win this round easily. Just take the prize money and forget about the other streamer."

Support from the audience was very much one-sided. Although Felicia easily drew viewers after finally streaming again, her plain looks quickly killed any excitement from her audience.

I found a quiet bench and settled in to watch the stream. Just then, fans of Felicia's previous stream started popping up.

"Felicia, could you smile for me if I send you ten Stars?"

"Felicia, can I sit next to you in class tomorrow if I send you a Supercar?"

"It's me, Jason Payne. Why did you ignore me when I said hi to you at the library the other day?" Jason crudely typed, "Are you streaming because you need money again? How about a kiss? I'll send you ten Roses for it."

Previously, this kind of comment would have thrilled Felicia, given her financial situation. This time, however, she was visibly uncomfortable with these distasteful remarks, which was expected. No woman would be willing to endure this kind of harassment from strangers if they weren't desperate for money.

Just then, a firework went off on the screen.

"PotionPlayboy sent Fireworks. All the Best, Streamer!"

Someone sent Fireworks to Felicia? Felicia looked just as surprised.

One glance at the gifter's avatar had me rolling my eyes. It was Jason, the same person who had sent her ten Fireworks during her last stream. He even changed his username this time.

Felicia recognized him, too, and she quickly said, "Jason? Stop sending me gifts!"

Jason replied, "Why not? I mean, you're in the middle of a live challenge. Besides, I'm just asking for one meal."

Felicia shook her head. "I'm not going out with you no matter how many gifts you send me."
