Chapter 19   - Where are we jumping, little anchor?

When Yi Ran entered the livestream, the anchor was playing PUBG. As he watched, the circumstances looked like someone had raided the building the anchor was in.

And the anchor… was the only one left alive on his team.

“Xiao Yan, there’s still another person! It’s the only person remaining!” Lu Xiuhe’s voice resounded through the stream.

“I saw them.”

“That person is still trying to attack—they tossed a grenade, and another grenade!! You should hide for a bit, hide and then face him after!”

Yu Yan suddenly put away his gun, turned around, and ran further into the house.

[??? Why’s he running away?]

[You’ve already killed two of the three people who raided the building, being scared like this makes no sense .]

“Not scared.” They watched as he opened the settings and directly blocked his teammates’ voice channel. “Lu Xiuhe was infected by some strangers a few days ago. He’s being so noisy that I can’t hear any footsteps.”

As soon as he finished saying that, the sound of hasty footsteps was heard. It didn’t sound too far away, but it also didn’t sound like it came from inside a room.

Yu Yan raised his eyebrows. “He’s not coming up?”

[The moral of the story—Don’t try to raid a building unless you know how to throw grenades. That team has tossed at least five frag grenades by now ba

[It was mainly due to the fact that during their first attempt to raid the building, the anchor killed one of them. This made the opponents so scared that they didn’t dare to try rushing in directly.]

[They’ve already let two of their teammates fall to your hands, yet they’re still attacking this barren land lololol.]

After blocking the team voice channel, his ears finally had some peace and quiet. Yu Yan quickly glanced at the barrage, but then, from the corner of his eye, saw that the enemy was preparing to escape. He didn’t hesitate to jump out of the window to get downstairs.

“Not attacking? I won’t allow it.”

Just as he finished speaking, his game avatar dropped from the sky. His action of pointing the gun’s muzzle downwards was very skilled, and his shots, fired with almost no hesitation, were crisp. Despite being in a mid-air jump, his gun’s aim was very stable.

The opponent hadn’t expected that he’d dare to jump down like this, and only managed to react after eating a few bullets. However, as soon as the opponent was about to take out his gun, he was knocked down.

At the same time, Yu Yan’s screen immediately had a line of white words appear.

[You eliminated HUMIYADA with an AKM]

[7 kills.]

Yi Ran cradled his laptop as he sat on the sofa. He was dumbfounded with astonishment after seeing the wave of attacks performed by the anchor.

This guy was like a goddamn immortal…

He reflexively clicked to follow him.

[Hahahahaha I won’t allow it!!]

[The anchor is so sexy omg]

[When will the anchor hold a guessing game? When you do, I’ll come here to just stabilize my finances.]

A guessing game was one of the activities that could be played in a stream. Each viewer could get starlight currency by either checking-in every day, recharging their account with money, or some other special methods. The starlight coins could then be used to participate in the guessing game, which offered a chance of obtaining more starlight currency from winning it.

The guessing game questions were decided by the anchor. The subjects of PUBG specifically were usually things like “can we eat chicken”, “can we kill five people”, and so on.

Yu Yan responded, “Guessing game… Let me check. I can only run that at anchor level 12.”

[Level 12? Then, if Boss 1 visits a few more times again, it’ll be enough.]

[Speaking of that, how come we haven’t seen Boss these past few days ? Has he moved on to a new sweetheart?]

[No, no, I went to stalk Boss’ profile. The only one on Boss’ gifted stars’ list is this anchor! (Seems like I’ve exposed something)] Yi Ran laughed, and his tone returned to usual. “Ge, let’s play two PUBG matches?”

Yi Chen responded, “No, I have a meeting later.”

“Oh it’s like that . That’s fine … I even specially charged some currency to toss at this anchor to get a carry.”

Yi Chen didn’t say anything, and just turned around to enter the study.

The person on the sofa unplugged his earphones, and a voice rang out from the computer.

“Why don’t I show my face? … Because the camera is broken. It’s been broken for several months, and I couldn’t be bothered to buy another one. Yes, mainly because I don’t have money.”

Yi Chen’s footsteps paused.

“I’m a skills-based anchor, my face doesn’t matter… 1, if you’re good now, please directly send me your ID through private messaging.”

—

His private message box flashed. Yu Yan clicked it open and was stunned.

【2：NIRANGG-1】

It took him a long time to realize that the boss from just now had changed their user ID.

… But what was the point of changing 1 to 2??

After inviting the person to the game lobby, Yu Yan explained, “Sorry, but because you changed your ID, I didn’t recognize it at first.”

In the game, the boss’ microphone icon flashed. “I often change my name, it’s okay. In the future, just recognize me by my cool rainbow ID.”

Yu Yan: “…”

[Why do I feel like this tone doesn’t sound like the other 1 ?]

[It’s definitely not him , even their voices aren’t the same.]

[The new boss isn’t melodramatic or artificial at all. Simple and rough, I like it.]

“Can you wait five minutes? He’s turning on the computer.”

Yu Yan replied, “Okay.”

He took advantage of the five minute wait-time to get up and make himself a cup of coffee. When he came back, there were already four people in the game lobby.

He didn’t look very closely and quickly started the match. “I’m sorry, I just went to make a cup of coffee.”magic

It wasn’t until he entered Manners Plaza that he noticed the barrage, which had gone a bit crazy, in the upper left corner.

[Boss, I’ve missed you so much!]

[It turns out that the two bosses are friends, no wonder their names are the same.]

[Ahhhhh!! I was so excited that I immediately put on earphones!!!]

?

Yu Yan hadn’t reacted to this yet when he was caught off guard by an auditory storm.

“That’s fine.”

The man’s voice was as usual, deep and mellow, with a hint of carelessness. “Where are we jumping, little anchor?”

—

Juurensha: Aw Yanyan missed Boss Yi! And wow, I don’t know why Boss Yi sounds so appealing with just 6 words.

Divi: Boss Yi is back! I’m wondering if he actually imitated Yi Ran’s name at first? Since Boss Yi doesn’t do much with StarTV… Yanyan is going be lovestruck again.

Noks: Both of them are gunning for the other’s voice… This kind of slow burn makes my toes curl!!!
