Chapter 7 Anchor Mia
1186 Words
Ryan enjoyed sleeping late on the weekend. When he got up at ten, he habitually logged in to the game.
However, he got bored after spending ten minutes in Dungeons and another ten minutes in PVP. Since he had the best equipment he wanted, even super armored bosses were easily beaten by him. He couldn’t find any fun except for showing off his top-grade fashion.
No wonder people say, less is always best.
When he got everything he wanted easily, he found he wasn’t so excited as he had expected.
After surfing the Internet for a while, he logged in to a popular live streaming platform.
With the continuous development of the Internet, live streaming had become a lifestyle permeating every aspect of life. Live broadcasts had also made a lot of anchors popular on the Internet.
Perry had been interested in beauty life. But for Ryan, live streaming was only about playing video games before. He knew many network anchors broadcasted themselves on live streaming platforms to make money, but it still was hard for handsome boys and pretty girls to maintain the competitiveness in this industry.
Because of Perry, Ryan could tell the names of some online celebrities. But the anchorwoman who impressed him most was a girl whose name was Mia.
He could say this girl was noble and unsullied in the complicated cyber world. She never wore a low-cut shirt during the live broadcast, and she did not have excessive make-up. She had beautiful eyes and looked like the girl next door.
It was said that this girl was from a small country, and she always sold her handmade snacks during the live. The last time Ryan went to her broadcast room, she had been selling rainbow bagels made by herself.
Ryan failed to find Mia on the homepage of the platform, so he searched for her name directly and found she was in a live.
Mia still had her style. Her clothes were simple and unnoticeable but in quite good taste. She was not flaunting herself as other anchors but was singing a quiet song, interacting with her viewers occasionally.
Of course, her popularity had not risen. There were only about two thousand audiences in the chat room. She sang very nicely, and her voice was clear and sweet. She didn’t make waves because she refused to pander to low tastes. She always followed her heart and created her own fairytale, and that was why her viewers liked her.
"Next, we are going to our most exciting part again. Today, I brought you something new - cheese corn crisps made by Mia! Simply delicious and always fresh!" Mia took out a packet of crisps as she said.
"God, Mia, you are selling products again."
"Buy and buy, give me a kiss and I’ll buy whatever you sell!"
"Mia, you’re the best!"
"Life is not easy for an anchor."
Looking at the chats, Ryan felt annoyed and amused. There were also some unkind messages, like “I like your boobs”, and “I want to undress you, baby.”
Mia had been used to that, so she just ignored those rude comments, pouted, and responded, "Life is not easy for everyone, so why not buy some cheese corn crisps!"
"You don’t have to live a hard life since you’re so beautiful."
"Take off your dress and I’ll donate you with 25000 bits!"
"Find a sugar daddy and your life will be easy."
These posts got Mia’s blood up. Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and said dryly, "Thank you, but I stand for self-reliance."
Actually, she needed money badly to pay for her little sister’s tuition fee. She knew how she could flatter her viewers and attract more buyers quickly, but she didn’t want to do that. She just smiled as sweet as she could.
"Well, every packet of crisps or 2500 bits for a song."
Many people streamed as a hobby. But Mia spent time here to raise some cash. Setting up donations on the platform was one way she could do it. Her fans and viewers could donate with bits in her chat room.
"Mia is a good dealer."
"Cheer 100, love your stream!"
"Cheer 2500 Mia, sing say so."
A viewer requested a song with a 2,500 bits reward.
Mia thanked the fan for the donation and began to charm her viewers with her sweet voice.
Day to night to morning keep with me at the moment
I'd let you had I known it why don't you say so
Didn't even notice any punches there to roll with
You got to keep me focused you want it Say so
…
He ain't ever even been impressed like this
Prolly why I got him quiet on the set like zipping
Like it loves it need it bad
Take it own it steal it fast
…
The viewers flooded with the screen with emotes of 1 bit and 100 bits rewards, but 1000 bits and more rewards were hard to see.
“I love you, Mia!”
“You sing very well!”
"Mia sings perfectly."
"Come on guys, where are your rewards?"
This message had scarcely been sent out when Ryan cheered 250,000 bits rewards followed.
...
Yes, Ryan purchased 250,000 bits in total to donate Mia.
Before he had the cheat system, it was impossible for him to waste money on live streaming platforms. He had at most rewarded 100 bits to a game anchor. But today, he decided to spend all the 10,000 dollars given by the system for this anchor.
"Whoa!"
“Whoohoo! 250000! How many songs, Mia?”
"Here comes a new money."
"Holy crap. Mia, you have to sing all day."
"Mia, you are going to sing 100 songs today!"
"So cool."
"Mia, you don't have to sell crisps or chips. Here comes your sugar daddy."
Mia’s chin dropped in astonishment. She really didn't expect anyone to spend so much money for her in her broadcasting room.
She didn’t have many viewers as other anchorwomen had. Since the platform had enabled the donation feature, she had never received so many bits.
She smiled in tears. She finally won recognition for her efforts.
"Thank you." Without any extra words, Mia kept saying thank you while wiping tears.
"Hey new money, you made our Mia cry."
"Mia, you must finish singing. I’ll be here all day."
"Are you still the girl full of laughter, Mia? Don’t cry."
Ryan was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect to make the girl cry by cheering for her.
Mia took a few deep breaths, and gradually it subsided. Since she promised to sing, she had to keep her word.
"Melton, what song do you want first?"
Ryan thought about it for a while before he replied with a naughty face, "Just sing one song for me: f**k the pain away."
All the viewers burst out laughing.
