dmims Chapter 27 Redemption Fee
Chapter 27 Redemption Fee
Over there, Tao Zhimo was expressing her heartfelt gratitude to her fans, conveying all her thanks to her supporters.
Shu Hua quietly yawned, and although she covered it with her hand, the people in the live stream still noticed.
However, while fans would give Shu a thumbs up, there were still some who were a bit rude.
[Life is but a dream: I saw the streamer yawn~]
[Dream Master accurately captures the streamer's moments of slacking off, lol]
Shu Hua: "Ms. Meng, you have such sharp eyes! Out of so many people, you're the only one who saw them. You really stand out!"
[The streamer got angry and embarrassed! So cute!]
[Drawer: You have such sharp eyes!]
[Hahahaha, Dream Manager is being utterly rejected!]
The punishment process is currently underway, so no one has muted their microphones. Tao Tao has just finished her thank-you message, and the live stream is relatively quiet at this moment.
Although Shu Hua spoke softly, her words were still audible.
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Shu Hua belatedly realized that everyone seemed to be looking at her. She was a little confused. "What's wrong? So who did Tao Tao choose? I was distracted for a moment and didn't hear you."
[Life is but a dream: Host, you... why don't you just keep yawning?]
【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】
[Hahahaha, it's that time of day again when my favorite characters, Dream and Hua, are playfully bickering!]
[Drawer: ??? Why is everyone looking at me? So who did you choose??]
[The artist probably thought she was chosen, otherwise why would everyone be looking at her? Hahahaha]
[You know what, if you think about it from my wife's perspective, that's actually quite possible.]
[Honey! The news anchor is playing both sides; she didn't choose anyone!]
[Tao Tao, the master of impartiality, is touching China, while you, the master of yawning, are here? Who does the anchor really look down on?]
[I can't laugh! First there was the open attack from Zhuying, now the streamer is secretly slept? Tao Tao just thanked the big brother, and you're already so sleepy you can't keep your eyes open. This 'silent diss' is brilliant! #TheArroganceOfTheCrownPrincess]
[The Crown Princess of Starshine is truly something else! Hey, you next door, are you just bored and sleepy? That's so disrespectful!]
Shu Hua wasn't really used to sentimental people, so when the female lead started expressing her gratitude, she remembered those long passages in the book that she had skipped over.
I imagine it will be another long, emotionally charged segment.
She then casually drifted off into thought, and I must say, the female lead's voice is really beautiful.
Even without singing, she had a hypnotic quality, and then she couldn't help but yawn.
There was nothing she could do; these were physiological signs, something she couldn't control.
Who knew that just by yawning and spacing out for a moment, the world seemed to have changed?
Isn't this the female lead speaking her true feelings? Why does it feel like everyone is watching her?
She wasn't as outrageous as the comments suggested, thinking the female lead would choose her or something.
She's not the female lead's older sister, so why choose her?
Shu Hua was probably still in a daze, and for some reason felt like she had been caught sleeping in class and the teacher had pulled her out to answer a question, thinking that the teacher was asking her what she thought of Tao Tao's choice.
After all, it involves big shots and such, so it's a good time to stir up trouble.
However, she genuinely didn't hear who the female lead chose. As an honest child, she wouldn't pretend to know, so she subconsciously asked.
She was thinking that she would give her opinion or something after they told her the answer.
But now, seeing the comments, it seems the female lead brought water to her hands, and only then did she finally come to her senses.
Oh right, the female lead is a master of balancing things, so how could she choose someone?
The female lead hypnotized her, which made her unable to react for a moment, hence the awkward situation.
Shu Hua also saw the haters' comments, and this time she felt that what they said was not wrong. No matter what the reason was, it was ultimately her who was impolite.
Shu Hua quickly apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Tao Tao's voice was so soothing just now, I was so engrossed in it that I drifted off into a daze."
I didn't mean to get distracted, I hope you don't mind.
Tao Tao waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay." Although she was indeed a little uncomfortable and felt disrespected because Shu Hua hadn't listened to her, since Shu Hua had sincerely apologized, she couldn't say anything.
Perhaps she really did talk for too long. This wasn't her own live stream; it was a game of PK, and the setting was indeed a bit inappropriate.
Bamboo Shadow chuckled, "This is a truth-or-dare punishment, not some kind of emotional thank-you party."
So Tao Tao, have you made your choice?
My question is, who is your favorite older brother? I know you're grateful, but the answer doesn't seem to match the question.
Look how sleepy Shuhua is, but she's still remembering this. You don't want to disappoint her, do you?
Zhu Ying was initially willing to let Tao Tao off the hook because of her sincere gratitude and balanced attitude, but then Shu Hua, that reckless person, suddenly appeared, and she wouldn't let her off the hook.
"Hmm?" Shu Hua responded softly, but her voice was so soft that no one paid attention, and everyone's attention returned to Tao Tao.
Shu Hua: Was she being used? Using her as an excuse to pick a fight, that's really unpleasant.
It was also her own fault for being careless, allowing someone to take advantage of her; it was indeed she who said those words.
Ugh... I'm so annoyed. Next time I'll definitely wait until I'm clear-headed before I speak.
Shu Hua now finally understands why so many people's public personas collapse.
Seriously, sometimes my mind just goes blank for a moment, and the words just slip out.
It's not that she's stupid and deliberately ruining her image. Although she didn't create a persona, what she said was still somewhat subtle.
Of course, she's a woman of her word, and since things have come to this, she'll just sit back and watch the show.
I believe the female lead will be able to turn the situation around.
Even if she chooses someone else, the female lead should be able to appease her older brothers, right?
She's the female lead now, so it's normal for her to encounter some problems.
Shu Hua quickly calmed herself down, trying not to feel too guilty, since she and the female lead weren't even friends.
It's a bit of a dilemma, but it probably isn't a big deal...
Besides, it was Zhu Ying who asked the question; she was just asking for an answer, which wasn't that bad.
At most, she didn't help, but isn't that how PK battles are? Since the female lead is already involved in a PK battle, she should have this much awareness, right?
I've completed my daily goal of not wasting my energy!
[Life is but a dream: What's going on in the little streamer's head? Her facial expressions have run away from home again~]
I'm genuinely curious; just look at that little streamer, changing 800 little expressions in a second.
Aside from the initial confusion about how she had been used as a knife, her subsequent lively expressions were quite remarkable.
Forgive me for not graduating from his micro-expression course yet, as he can't understand it, but he can still tell that he's cute and clueless.
After Shu Hua reassured herself that she didn't need to feel guilty, she saw the comments on "Floating Life Like a Dream" and immediately put on a serious face, pretending to be very aloof.
This made Fushengruomeng burst out laughing right off the screen.
On the other side, among the other three, Yan Ying, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold, was unlikely to speak up for Tao Tao.
Xue Nuo still looked innocent, seemingly unaware of what had happened, but she didn't say anything either.
He just watched as Zhu Ying pressed closer to Tao Tao.
Chengcheng did want to help Taotao, since the two had a good relationship, but this was the highlight of the PK match, and she didn't want to spoil the fun.
Especially now that even her own Crown Princess has spoken up, she's just a working-class person.
It wasn't appropriate to confront the Crown Princess directly, so he could only silently apologize to Tao Tao.
At this moment, her thoughts were somewhat in sync with Shu Hua's; they both thought that this was just a game of truth or dare.
I'm sure the guys like Tao Tao so much that they won't mind too much.
She herself had been asked this question before, since sowing discord between streamers and big spenders is a common tactic in PvP battles.
The magnanimous older brother would know it's just a game, but some petty older brothers would take it seriously and might even leave later.
Experienced streamers have long been able to handle this well.
However, Tao Tao is still just a new student, which is why Cheng Cheng hesitated.
If they were all established streamers, she might even stir things up, since that would make the PK matches more interesting.
Tao Zhiming truly couldn't answer that question. She was extremely grateful to each of her older brothers, and she really couldn't say who she liked the most. She didn't want to hurt anyone.
Tao Zhiming's eyes instantly reddened, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling slightly, "I really can't answer that. How about I do something else as punishment?"
[Just passing by and offering a tip: See if it's possible to redeem myself?]
Tao Zhiming saw a comment from someone passing by: "My older brother asked, 'Is it possible to buy my freedom?'"
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Chengcheng quickly agreed, "Of course you can, Tao Tao's older brother is very generous."
What do you all think? Sometimes there's no answer to this question, which is quite common.
Chengcheng was trying to help, and although Yan Ying was not satisfied with the result, she knew that this was the only way. Otherwise, if the little girl really cried, she would feel uncomfortable.
Yan Ying smiled, "Of course, I'll trouble Brother Tao to put it on the PK bar."
Xue Nuo, still oblivious and following the crowd, nodded and said, "I'll listen to everyone."
Shu Hua was still arguing with Fu Sheng Ruo Meng, trying her best to keep a straight face, "I'm fine with anything, but I don't need to redeem myself. Consider it an apology for not listening to Tao Tao carefully just now."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhu Ying had no choice but to give up. She didn't expect that Shu Hua would switch sides so quickly. They were all shallow-minded and were easily bribed with a few small gifts.
Shu Hua: I didn't want that little gift either!
[The user "Passing By and Giving a Reward" gifted 3 "Carnival" gifts (50000 Audio Coins) to the live streamer "Bamboo Shadows Dancing"]
[A passerby gave a small reward, and "Sweet Orange" in the live stream gifted 3 "Carnival" gifts (50000 audio coins) each.]
[The user "Passing By and Giving a Reward" gifted "Carnival" (50000 Audio Coins) x3 to the live streamer "Dream Weaver Who Travels Through the Painting Realm"]
[A passerby gave a "Carnival" gift (50000 audio coins) x3 to the live streamer "Hua Yan Ying Cai".]
[A passerby who gave a small donation gift sent 3 "Carnival" gifts (50000 audio coins) to the "Xue Nuo's Growth Diary" live stream.]
As soon as the ransom was paid, Chengcheng immediately expressed her gratitude.
She smiled brightly, "Thank you for passing by my brother's carnival, Tao Tao's family really does have a sweet deal when it comes to redemption money."
Yan Ying smiled more; who doesn't love a little money? "Thank you, Brother Tao Tao, for passing by."
Xue Nuo smiled shyly, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of tenderness, "Thank you for passing by, brother."
Zhu Ying also forced a smile, "Thank you."
Shu Hua: "Hmm, this person was quick to grab it while passing by, I don't need it."
I said I would apologize, little housekeeper…”
[“Floating Life Like a Dream” gave away 5 “Carnival” gifts (50000 Audio Coins) in the live stream by “Grape Boba Ice”]
The gift notification popped up just in time. Shu Hua paused for a moment, then said, "Um, thank you, Meng-ge! You're really professional!"
Life is but a dream: That's it~
[Congratulations to Boss Meng on becoming Brother Meng (fireworks)]
Congratulations, Meng Ge!
[Brother Meng is so generous, he even gave me two extra.]
[Life is but a dream: Keep it low-key, keep it low-key~ It's just an apology~]
Then it was Tao Zhiming's turn to ask Chengcheng. She didn't ask any sharp questions, just a standard, unremarkable one.
Chengcheng answered generously, but the question was too ordinary and had no highlights whatsoever.
That concludes this round of truth-or-dare.
Everyone checked the score again, and Shu Hua was still in first place.
Shu Hua: "If we play Truth or Dare again, it'll just be repeating ourselves. Hmm... Oh, time's almost up, shall we just mute our microphones and campaign for votes?"
She was originally thinking of just having some kind of military training session this time, but then she saw the time and realized that there was only half a minute left before the end of this round.
What's there to think about? This is so convenient.
It was only later that everyone realized how much time had passed.
Indeed, first Xue Nuo recited a short essay, then Tao Tao wrote a long thank-you note, and then there were a few more commotions, so time really flew by.
However, it did create some entertainment value.
No one objected, and they immediately muted their microphones and started campaigning for votes.

[Grape Boba Ice Livestream]
The atmosphere seemed a bit somber. Tao Tao sat in front of the camera, her eyes slightly red, fiddling helplessly with an unfinished cross-stitch.
Seeing Tao Tao like this, fans felt heartbroken, and a flood of comments came to comfort her.
【Don't cry, Tao Tao Bao! Tears are pearls; if they fall, you'll turn into a bamboo rat.】
[Hugs to our little angel Tao Tao! Some people are just like concocted sauerkraut jars, their sourness is overwhelming!]
【Don't be sad, Tao Tao. They're just jealous that we have so many great older brothers.】
[That's right, that's right. That bamboo shadow was deliberately stirring things up. Our eldest brother is so smart, he won't fall for it.]
[Protect the world's best Tao Tao! The more some people jump up and down, the more outstanding our Tao Tao is!]
[Speaking of which, Shu Hua was really something else today. Tao Tao was sincerely thanking her fans, and she was yawning over there? She really has no basic manners.]
[Who told her to be the Crown Princess? She can't even be bothered with the pretense anymore (picking nose)]
[Just because she has good resources, she thinks she can be arrogant? That Zhuying is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. When it comes to relying on a powerful figure, who can compare to Shuhua? Yet she comes to bully our Tao Tao, just because she thinks Tao Tao is easy to bully.]
[Isn't that bamboo shadow just being sour? She only picks on the weak! Tao Tao, ignore her!]
[The way Shu Hua yawns is just like how I look when I can't understand math class... but she has a big brother who tops the leaderboard, I can't be envious.]
But... just whispering, they already apologized, there's no need to say that.
To be honest, Tao Tao really didn't answer the question just now. Asking which older brother she liked best, and simply saying "I like them all" was a bit too biased, wasn't it?
[That "Starry Night Reflections" segment was so bad it made my toes crawl... The whole thing turned into a relationship advice radio show.]
The streamer's remarks were touching for the fans, but also genuinely boring. To not even allow someone to quietly yawn is a bit too much.
[I understand the streamer wants to balance things out and retain the big spenders, but has the streamer forgotten that this is a PK (player versus player) match? The flow is so disjointed.]
[It's like... you're bored and you won't let others be distracted, but you should at least have some witty remarks yourself.]
[They even apologized for yawning, which is more than enough; it's like two carnivals! Those yawns are really expensive.]
[Casual viewers were confused: So what's the question? What's the answer? Bamboo Shadow is bad, but this move by the streamer... definitely had a negative impact on the show's entertainment value.]
[I suggest the streamer practice their impromptu reactions. Don't activate your emotional defenses every time you get challenged. The PK arena isn't your confessional livestream!]
[Just passing by the brother's redemption carnival, only to find he got nothing? He muted immediately after his speech; the money was wasted, a five-star waste, and he even got into a fight.]
[Just passing by and giving a tip: I'm happy to tip, I'm happy to listen to Tao Tao talk. Let her say whatever she wants, you guys mind your own business.]
[Just passing by and giving a tip: No need for any special effects, the girl's sincerity is enough. If you don't like it, then goodbye.]
[Xinghai: Tao Tao, don't be sad! Some people just need to be taught a lesson!]
[Xinghai: Where did that Shu Hua come from? Tao Tao is here pouring her heart out thanking everyone for their support, and she's just standing there yawning. She doesn't even have basic manners. Does she really think anyone cares about those few crappy carnivals?]
[Xinghai: Wasn't she the one who topped the charts last time? She just got close to a powerful backer, but who knows what he is. She's really getting cocky. Let's see if she dares to challenge us to a 1v1 later.]
[Passing by, here's a tip: Starry Sea! Watch your words! Since he's already apologized, don't make enemies for the young girl.]
[Xinghai: Just passing by! Have you no backbone? She's bullying Tao Tao, and you're still trying to smooth things over? Protecting an outsider?]
[Xinghai: You must have ulterior motives.] Xinghai knew, of course, that Lu Guo meant well by saying this, for the young girl's sake.
But he couldn't help but add a sarcastic remark, remembering the humiliating defeat he suffered in the last PK where he was instantly eliminated from the leaderboard.
Of course, he had his own ulterior motives, even though the girl treated them all the same.
But Lu Guo arrived earlier, and he could tell that the little girl was more dependent on him, which annoyed him.
If someone gets angry and leaves while passing by, he'll be the oldest guy in the live stream, and the young girl will definitely treat him even better.
The girl is so popular that another Black Cleaver has appeared. Although we don't know what kind of build Black Cleaver is, and it's not finalized yet.
Judging from the fact that Black Cleaver requested embroidery, it probably won't be long before he becomes a Guardian.
The little girl is sincere, sings well, and is pretty; she's just so likable.
Black Cleaver, whom Xinghai remembered, suddenly seemed to have gone into hiding, and didn't appear even when Xinghai and Lu Guo were about to argue.
Seeing that the two older brothers who stood up for her were about to start arguing, Tao Tao panicked instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was choked with urgent cries: "No! Brother Xinghai, Brother Luguo, please stop arguing!"
It's all my fault, I didn't perform well...
It really has nothing to do with Shuhua. She's probably just tired... and she's already apologized. I'm fine.
Brothers, please don't hurt our friendship...
"How about I sing you a song?"
[Passing by and giving a tip: Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't argue.]
[Xinghai: Okay, you sing. I'll go this time, you can rest as I'm just passing by.]
[Passing by, I'd like to leave a tip: ...Okay.]
