Chapter 42 Showing Off
When Xiao Lu saw Tao Tao like this, she was also startled, and her voice softened considerably, "Tao Tao, be careful. Why don't you rest for a bit?"
Tao Tao didn't force herself to stay, and smiled at Xiao Lu, "Thank you, Xiao Lu."
When Tao Tao showed signs of exhaustion, the PK bar in her live stream kept climbing rapidly.
Unfortunately, Shu Huahua's defense never let up, and Tao Tao's family was never able to catch up.
Xinghai was so angry he almost smashed his phone. Who was this "Daddy" over there? The value of the gifts was too different. Unless he had superhuman speed.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to catch up.
The top-ranked guy over there clearly doesn't lack money. Is he going to lose again today?
Xinghai was unconvinced and, after thinking about it, decided to go and call for reinforcements.
He had never forgotten the humiliation of being instantly ranked last time.
It's just a max-level account, like everyone else has one.
Well, he himself doesn't actually have it.
Even reaching the maximum level on a musical note requires qualification verification, which is beyond the reach of someone as a rich second-generation heir who relies on his family.
Xinghai is just a rich second-generation young master in his early twenties who has been pampered since childhood. I never expected that he would be suppressed like this in a live broadcast room.
How could he possibly swallow this insult?
After thinking about it, I sent a message to my older brother and asked him to borrow a max-level account for me.
He remembered that his family had a fairly large collaboration with the parent company of Yin Fu, and he knew that there were max-level accounts within the company.
[He Fuye (Xinghai): Bro, could you borrow a max-level, useful item from Fuyin? Don't worry, I'll cover the tipping myself.]
He Fuye's eldest brother, He Peiji, had just finished a meeting when he received a message from his eccentric younger brother, and his brows furrowed slightly.
[He Peiji: Reason.]
He Peiji didn't care at all about playing live streams; the money he received in tips wasn't even enough for his younger brother to buy a race car.
However, the current situation has put him in a position to owe favors, so he has no choice but to intervene.
Although it was a small matter, it might make his younger brother, who had a rather high sense of self-esteem, bow his head. He was a little curious about who the person on the other side was, since his younger brother couldn't out-spend money.
He Peiji asked for this reason, but in fact he had already borrowed the account number from the CEO of the parent company of Yin Fu.
He just won't give this account to his younger brother, so he can take a break.
Let's also take a look at what kind of streamer has recently captivated my younger brother.
He wasn't worried about his brother being scammed; it was just a small amount of money.
Maybe it will teach my younger brother a lesson and make him want to do something worthwhile.
When He Fuye (Xinghai) saw the words "elder brother," his scalp tingled.
But he didn't dare lie, so he simply recounted what had happened.
[He Peiji: Okay, I'll log into the account. I won't let you lose.]
[He Fuye (Xinghai): Thank you, brother.]

Shu Hua was unaware that the other side had already called for reinforcements; she had been curious about this action.
Then I saw that even Tao Tao, who should have normal physical strength and normal motor skills, was having such a hard time.
She was actually quite eager to try it out, even though the movement looked perfectly fine.
So, the people in Shu Hua's live stream watched as Shu Hua got up from her chair with a very smug look on her face.
They went to a small corner and started trying out the punishment.
【What are you doing, you little rascal?】
[High-energy warning ahead! Huazai is going to challenge the 'Little Swan'!!!]
[Holy crap?! Kid, have you forgotten how you almost killed yourself during those squats last time?! Why are you suddenly thinking of doing something drastic?!]
[Walk into a trap? Humiliate yourself? Ask for trouble? You choose, little one!]
[The market's open! The market's open! I bet five cents on a spicy snack, Hua Zai won't last 10 seconds!]
[The space upstairs is too small! I bet you'll collapse within three squats! Last time I even got cramps from kicking, this time it's a squat plus version!]
[No! Stop, baby! Mommy's afraid you'll fall! Let's just watch others get punished!]
[About my love for broadcasting and my desire to challenge the limits of my athletic ability]
[The time before last, I lost my balance; the time before, I got a leg cramp; this time… let's wait and see! I firmly believe that history always repeats itself!]
[Hua Zai: I watched others being tortured → got carried away watching → then personally underwent the torture. I'd call this "testing the law with my own body"!]
[I bet you a squat! If you can do one gracefully, I'll send you a little heart!]
Shu Hua tried her best to maintain her posture and carefully began to squat down.
The movement was so slow it was as if it were on half speed, and the body began to sway slightly, with the toes of the right leg, which was already not raised very high, teetering on the verge of falling.
She bit her lower lip, her focused expression conveying a sense of "ready to die," which ironically brought the joyful atmosphere in the live stream to a climax.
The comments section sped up even faster, filled with well-intentioned "taunts," concerned reminders, and betting posts that seemed to enjoy the drama.
Shu Hua actually regretted it a little as soon as she started.
Why does this movement look so different when it's actually done?
She clearly saw how easily Xiaolu did it.
Even though Xianyin and Taotao got tired later, they were quite good at the beginning.
Why is it that everything is already difficult from the very beginning for her?
She has full energy right now and isn't tired at all, so why does she suddenly feel so heavy?
Shu Hua's curiosity had been completely satisfied, and she didn't want to play anymore, but she was stuck halfway through.
To squat down or to stand up, that is the question.
She couldn't tell which was simpler, but maintaining it was obviously more tiring.
The next second, human inertia solved the century-old problem for Shu Hua. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, so Shu Hua didn't fall and get hurt, but she was still dazed.
Who am I? Where am I? How did I fall?
Shu Hua landed heavily on the soft carpet with a thud.
The comments in the entire live stream seemed to be paused, remaining frozen for a full two or three seconds.
Immediately afterwards, like a floodgate bursting open, a deluge of comments flooded the screen, almost submerging it:
[Hahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha Help!!!]
[Laughing so hard, everyone! From trying to giving up, it only took 3 seconds to achieve this!]
[The drawing boy's gravitational acceleration experiment failed! Report: The carpet is too soft!]
[The betting has started! Bettors who bet she wouldn't last 10 seconds, come forward and collect your winnings! The house has wiped out everyone!!!]
[Text recap: Standing up → Legs shaking → Swaying → Vague eyes → Losing balance → *splat!* The movements were fluid and seamless!]
[New Collection of Bizarre Behaviors by a Painter +1: Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den; knowing he'll fall, yet still trying ballet!]
[Guess the thought process: 1. I'll give it a try? 2. It doesn't seem that hard? 3. Huh? Huh? ? 4. Oh well, I'll just lie down.jpg]
[The baby is totally bewildered after falling! That confused look in his eyes as he sits on the ground is just too cute!]
[Did you hurt yourself, baby? Let me rub it! Is the carpet soft enough? Should we add another mat?]
[Warning: Extremely cuteness overload! A fluffy little gray cat that tried to take off but unfortunately crashed!]
[Congratulations, Huazai! You've successfully unlocked a new pose for "close contact with the carpet"! Even though you failed this challenge, you're still adorable!]
[Key point: Her first reaction after falling wasn't to cry out in pain, she was completely bewildered! Such a slow reaction time...]
[Drawer: I just want to have a heartfelt, two-way journey with Mother Earth! What do you know!]
[Daddy: The fall wasn't from a high height, and the carpet was custom-made, so you're not hurt. Don't worry.]
【Life is but a dream: ...Dad~】
[Hilarious! Dad's calm demeanor makes it sound like he's saying, "No big deal, my daughter's tough."]
[I never expected my dad to be like this. I thought he would spoil me rotten.]
[I... I thought Dad would be worried about whether Huazai got hurt, but Dad is calmly analyzing the situation here.]
Shu Hua had already snapped out of her daze, forcing herself to remain calm as if nothing had happened, and slowly got up.
After sitting down, I saw her daddy's calm analysis.
She wasn't surprised at all.
Daddy is very considerate and supports her in every way.
But overall, it's not the kind of doting father you find in those BL (Boys' Love) novels.
At least it won't be the kind of thing where Daddy gets heartbroken over something as small as a scratch.
Yeah, just thinking about that art style gives Shu Hua goosebumps.
She couldn't stand this kind of excessive care and pampering; it was too much for her.
Humans are very resilient beings with a high capacity for self-healing, so there's no need to make a fuss about their injuries.
Even if we take a step back and ask, the wound won't heal any faster, will it?
Shu Hua: "Yes, Daddy is right."
That rug was custom-made for me by my dad; it's easy to clean and very soft.
Sometimes I even sit directly on the carpet to play; it's so comfortable.
I didn't get hurt.
Three minutes is up. Although it's not time for the process to end yet, Xiaolu said at the beginning that it would be fine if she could last for three minutes.
This punishment can be considered over.
With time still remaining before the final vote-getting session, Xiao Lu thought she might as well chat for a bit.
The three girls sat calmly and composedly, while Xianyin, who had been punished for three minutes, looked somewhat disheveled.
Having successfully avenged herself, Xiao Lu's conscience kicked in, and she asked with concern, "Xuan Yin, are you alright?"
If you don't usually move like this, you'd better stretch later, otherwise you'll feel really sore tomorrow.
Oh, right, this is how you stretch it, don't do it wrong.
As she spoke, Xiaolu stood up again and demonstrated the stretching exercise.
Xianyin gave a forced smile and chuckled, "Thank you for reminding me."
He wasn't angry, he was just really tired and had no energy left.
Xiao Lu looked at Shu Hua again. Shu Hua's movements were rather stealthy; even when she fell, she didn't make a loud noise.
At least Shu Hua herself didn't instinctively scream or anything, and she was focused on taking revenge.
All attention was focused on Xianyin, ensuring his movements were precise.
Tao Tao was also recovering, and Xian Yin was doing her best to avoid falling.
As a result, the other three people didn't even notice that Shu Hua had just fallen.
Little Deer looked delighted. "Hua Bao, we can chat for another two minutes. Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"
Shu Hua suddenly remembered a comment she had seen before, tone-deaf vs. celestial music, "I'm a little curious, if you were to sing a duet with Xiao Lu, would you be led astray by her and also sing off-key?"
Little Deer: "???" We're teammates, right? Why did you suddenly betray me?
Xianyin: ??? Is he going to suffer not only physically today, but also mentally?
Although the reasons for their silence differed, both Xiaolu and Xianyin were stunned at the same time.
Shu Hua waited a few seconds and, finding no one paying attention to her, asked again, "Ah, I was just curious."
There's an absolute sense of pitch in stringed instruments, right? I've heard it's a very powerful skill that relies entirely on talent.
Since everything is in absolutes, it shouldn't go off-key, right?
But Xiao Lu is also very strong. I'm just curious, in a battle between two strong opponents, who will win?
[What the hell is this battle between two powerhouses! Hua Zai, you're a naming genius! I can't stop laughing! (fucks table in laughter.jpg)]
【A battle of two titans? You know how to be sarcastic in your drawings! (laughing and crying emoji)】
[Hilarious! What a great name! One is ridiculously tone-deaf, the other is ridiculously accurate in pitch—truly a 'double whammy'! (Slams table and laughs wildly)]
[Hua Zai: Naming? I'm super brave! This is a 'reverse double strength' certification!]
[Regarding my teammate's suggestion that I sing a duet with someone with perfect pitch—A true account of the earthquake in Xiao Lu's eyes.]
[Xuone's inner monologue: Is this battle between two strong opponents a battle of barely suppressing laughter? (Just kidding)]
[Suggested name changes: "The Clash of Celestial Music and Demonic Sound" or "The Fall of Absolute Pitch"!]
[Opening bets! I'm betting on Little Deer's profound evil cultivation; he can drag Xianyin straight from the Vienna Golden Hall to a village karaoke bar!]
[I'm on Xianyin's side! Perfect pitch is no joke! The moment Xiaolu opened her mouth, Xianyin's ears automatically activated anti-interference shielding mode!]
[Here comes another heretical cultivator! Little Deer's singing voice possesses a chaotic aura; even those with perfect pitch would get lost and unable to find the right tune!]
[The academic school will prevail! Keep your voice steady and use your professional skills to purify this 'evil sound'! (Go for it!)]
I bet five cents on a spicy snack that Xianyin will lose control of her facial expressions before the chorus even starts!
[I'm guessing the little deer will take off with a high note, and the strings will immediately enter a philosophical state of "Who am I? Where am I? Why am I listening to this?"]
[Win by pressing the strings! But the process will be very painful, so we suggest everyone cover their ears first!]
[I don't care who wins, I just want to see the look on Tsurune's face when she gets led astray and starts to question her existence! (evil grin)]
[The Deer's Temptation VS The String's Steadfastness - A Battle of the Century, Place Your Bet Now!]
[Let's fight! Let's fight! (Excitedly rubbing hands together)]
[Xianyin: Is it too late to leave the live stream now? Huazai: No, it's too late!]
[Hua Zai: I was just asking casually, but why does it feel like this is about to cause a bloodbath? (Innocent wink)]
[This is absolutely phenomenal! I'm already ready to screen record it! (Secretly observing)]
Regardless of who wins or loses, the ears of all viewers in the live stream have already reserved their spot for tonight's "work-related injury"!
Shu Hua never expected that her question, born of curiosity, would elicit such a strong reaction in the comments.
