When a Player Meets a Player

Wang Yuyan had an exceptionally pure and adorable appearance, with two charming dimples when she smiled and a tiny pointed canine tooth that peeked out. Her crescent-shaped eyes curved sweetly like little moons.

What made her particularly eye-catching today was her casual JK-style sailor outfit, paired with twin ponytails fastened with cute butterfly ribbons. Whenever she tilted her head, her ponytails swayed slightly as she spoke.

Zhou Yi was the first to speak up: "What do you need us to do?"

Wang Yuyan pulled out her Lehuo livestream account to show them.

"I’ve been doing part-time livestreaming to earn money lately. My account is still new, and I need to build up my follower count. Could you all help me out by following? Pretty please? My agency has quotas, and I’m really struggling here."

She pouted slightly and clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture that was hard to resist.

Given her youthful, cute demeanor, no one hesitated to lend her a hand.

At that point, Gong Zi suggested creating a group chat to make communication easier.

They already had a group, but it included provincial leaders and members from another team, which Gong Zi found uncomfortable, so she proposed making a separate one.

Once Gong Zi set up the new group, Wang Yuyan shared her QR code in it.

Her livestream account was called "Bunny Girl," and it only had a few dozen followers since she’d just started. She was still in the early stages of building her audience.

Lu Youyou asked curiously, "How many followers do you need to meet the requirement? Want me to ask my friends to help spread the word?"

Wang Yuyan’s eyes lit up, and she adorably clung to Lu Youyou’s arm.

"Yes, please! Thank you, senior! My manager said I need at least a hundred followers, but all the other new streamers in the group already have hundreds. I’m the slowest one, wuwuwu… Earlier, a big streamer even made fun of me."

Jiang Cong adjusted his glasses. "You streamers have a group too? Sounds like they’re trying to fuel competition."

Wang Yuyan nodded. "Exactly. Everyone has to post their daily earnings in the group. If your numbers are low, it’s super embarrassing, so they all push themselves to stream nonstop. My manager handles dozens of streamers—some even go all night. I can’t compete with them, sigh."

Zhou Yi glanced at her phone screen, where a top streamer was flaunting her earnings of 230,000 yuan for the day while pretending to lament how "low" it was.

The next line was a jab at Wang Yuyan for not working hard enough to even gain followers.

Zhou Yi turned to Wang Yuyan. "When do you usually go live?"

The girl blinked her big, innocent eyes, her cheeks flushing slightly as she looked at him. Her palms grew a little sweaty as she explained shyly,

"I haven’t set a fixed streaming schedule yet. I’ll decide after the competition. For now, I’m just going live randomly to meet the minimum requirements."

Zhou Yi nodded. "Let me know when you start. I’ll drop by to boost your viewer count."

Wang Yuyan gasped in delight. "Wow! Captain, you’re seriously the best! My streamer friends are gonna be so jealous!"

"Oh, and Captain, I have a bestie who’s a huge fan of yours. Could I get an autograph? I want to surprise her when I go back."

Her eyes glistened like those of a naive, helpless fawn, softening anyone’s heart.

A seasoned charmer like Zhou Yi would never refuse a cute, high-value girl like Wang Yuyan. He agreed without hesitation.

Gong Zi, meanwhile, studied Zhou Yi with a raised brow. Her nicotine cravings were acting up, but with some time left before their stop, she had to endure it.

Her gaze lingered on him, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

Zhou Yi naturally noticed her stare. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, but instead of looking away, Gong Zi curled her lips into a faint smirk. Her fox-like eyes held a hint of allure.

Soon after, she averted her gaze and opened WeChat to chat in her girls’ group.

[Gong Zi: Ladies, guess what? I’m competing with Zhou Yi this time. Bet I can bag him in three days.]

[Peachy Peachy: Fr? I heard he’s super aloof. Tons of girls are into him—three days might be pushing it.]

[Meng Qianqian: Since when has our Gong Zi ever failed? Go for it! We’ll wait for the good news.]

[Wang Haihai (in the U.S.): Zhou Yi doesn’t seem like the usual type. Don’t play with fire—you might get burned.]

[Gong Zi: It’s just a game. No big deal.]

[Peachy Peachy: Pfft, relax. With Gong Zi’s looks and figure, what man could resist?]

Gong Zi smirked at her friend’s comment. It wasn’t often she took an interest in a man—she couldn’t afford to fail.

She had high standards, and every guy she’d ever set her sights on had fallen for her.

To clarify, "bagging" him didn’t mean sleeping with him.

She didn’t date men, nor did she sleep with them. She just enjoyed toying with their emotions.

Gong Zi was a bit of a heartbreaker. Once she’d seduced a guy into falling for her, she’d cut ties cleanly—no chance of intimacy, leaving them frustrated and longing.

This little game of love was one she’d played many times, leaving a trail of lovesick men in her wake before moving on to her next target.

A man like Zhou Yi would catch any woman’s eye. She simply had to take on the challenge.

When they arrived at their stop, Zhou Yi offered to help with the luggage. Gong Zi rested a hand on his shoulder and grinned.

"Captain, mind helping me first? I’ve got a lot. Jiang Cong can handle the seniors’ bags."

Zhou Yi inwardly scoffed.

This girl was clearly trying to flirt.

"Why not ask Zhang Wei? He can carry multiple bags at once."

"I’d rather have your help, Captain. Please?"

"Fine, I’ll do it."

Gong Zi’s type of beauty was rare, and Zhou Yi found it intriguing.

As Zhou Yi reached for her suitcase, Gong Zi’s hand slid over the handle—directly covering his.

Zhou Yi lifted his gaze to meet hers. She flashed a bewitching smile, her eyes crinkling as she murmured, "My luggage is pretty heavy. Let’s carry it together."

Zhou Yi chuckled softly, and the two of them lifted the suitcase off the train.

Their hotel was near A University, with individual rooms for each.

When assigning rooms, Gong Zi specifically requested one next to Zhou Yi’s.

Unnoticed by the others, the balconies of their rooms were connected.

Exhausted from the journey, they arrived in A Province late at night. With the competition two days away, they agreed to spend the next day exploring the city.

After a shower, Zhou Yi was about to sleep when his phone lit up on the bed.

A message from Gong Zi:

[Gong Zi: Captain, I need another favor. Can you help?]

[Zhou Yi: What is it?]

[Gong Zi: Meet me on the balcony.]

Zhou Yi towel-dried his hair and glanced outside. A strikingly alluring figure stood on the balcony—Gong Zi.

He tossed his phone aside and slid open the glass door.

Gong Zi turned, leaning against the railing with a smile. "Good evening, Captain."

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
