Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 85 : Thirty Years Less Struggle

"Pfft."

Bei Yaoyue, who was secretly watching Xifeng's stream, couldn't help but laugh. This was definitely the Xifeng she knew—nothing else to say, but she really had a knack for acting tough.

As Xifeng screamed and jumped up from her chair, jumping out of the camera's range, her virtual avatar also became motionless, as if scared stiff on the spot. Soon the bullet comments exploded.

"Good show, quickly call daddy."

"Ninety percent off? Is this all you've got?"

"Hahahahaha xswl."

"That scream, I'm satisfied."

"Don't be satisfied, suck it back in."

Xifeng, still shaken from the fright, stood aside trying hard to stabilize her emotions, while Jill in the game suffered. Without player control, Jill stood motionless in place and was soon caught up by Nemesis, who punched her into mush with one blow.

"YOU ARE DEAD"

The large text floating on screen seemed to mock Xifeng's incompetence.

"'If this broken game can make me scream, I'll call you all daddy on the spot.'"

Soon, the bullet comments began endlessly repeating what Xifeng had just said, and some people started creating variations.

"'If this broken daddy can make me call game, I'll scream you all on the spot.'"

"'If this broken scream can make me call daddy, I'll game you all on the spot.'"

"'If this broken daddy can make me call game, I'll scream you all on the spot.'"

It took a full minute before Xifeng recovered. She reluctantly returned to the computer, so embarrassed she didn't know what to say.

"Where is she? Scared to heaven?"

"Hey, you there?"

"Just now..." Her face reddening, Xifeng laughed awkwardly, "That was an accident, an accident."

"Whether it's an accident or not, quickly call daddy."

"Call daddy."

The bullet comments remained relentless, completely unwilling to give Xifeng an escape route, demonstrating what it meant to be terrible at everything but first-rate at harassment.

It was after this incident that Xifeng's streaming room popularity began skyrocketing. In less than three minutes, the popularity had become three times what it was three minutes ago, as if many spectators had spread word about her impending daddy-calling.

Xifeng was now in a difficult position—having boasted only to crash and burn, truly a case of calling heaven and earth to no avail.

Unconsciously biting her lip, Xifeng hesitated whether to call or not.

She weighed the pros and cons in her mind. If she didn't call, she'd probably lose a considerable number of fans and forever leave herself with the stain of being untrustworthy.

If she did call, she could definitely gain some fans—there were plenty of people in the 2D world who liked adopting sons and daughters—and increase fan loyalty. It seemed like there were no downsides.

Most importantly, she was currently wearing a skin, so even if she called daddy, it would be "Ichinose Xiyue" losing face, not her, Xifeng.

Thinking this way, the answer to whether she should keep her promise was already obvious.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage, forcibly suppressing the urge to turn and run, and said softly: "Daddy, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

After saying this, even with the Xiyue skin protecting her on the outside, Xifeng still felt her face burning hot enough to catch fire. This kind of thing was weird no matter how you looked at it, okay?

"I'm taking Xiyue home, no one fight me for her."

"Dream on! Draw your sword!"

"My daughter is so cute, wsl."

"Wake up, Xiyue is male."

"I don't care, in my eyes Xiyue is my daughter."

"Don't give up on your dreams, keep sleeping."

Xifeng watched those bullet comments that were about to break into fights with burning cheeks, and asked quietly: "Do you still want to continue watching me play this game?"

Honestly, Xifeng already wanted to run away, but due to face-saving, she was too embarrassed to close the game directly, so she could only ask for the bullet comments' opinions.

But undoubtedly, most people in the bullet comments were troublemakers who loved drama, frantically spamming "Yes yes yes," "Play quickly, I want to hear you continue screaming," "How can I sleep without hearing your screams" and similar comments.

With public opinion being such, Xifeng had to bite the bullet and continue streaming.

Fortunately, the RE series really didn't have many horror elements. With sufficient mental preparation, Xifeng could still manage to play, just always feeling somewhat creeped out inside.

When Nemesis suddenly punched through a wall from the side without warning, Xifeng let out her second helpless scream, nearly fainting from fright.

"WDNMD my cabinet moved, I'm not playing anymore!"

With her scalp tingling, Xifeng dropped this line and shamefully ended the stream early amid endless bullet comment teasing, also secretly vowing in her heart to never play horror games again.

"Nanamo Ul Namo tipped the streamer 50,000,000 gold seeds."

Just after closing the streaming room, this message popped up in Xifeng's backend. On the fan rankings, Nanamo also overtook Bei Yaoyue in one move, returning to first place.

"Thanks Rich Lady for the tip OwO" Xifeng sent this message to Nanamo's QQ. Since the streaming room was closed, she could only express her gratitude this way.

"Small money. Rather than that, let me ask—are you actually a boy or girl in real life?"

Fifty thousand yuan was small money!?

Xifeng once again felt just how vast the wealth gap between poor and rich people could be—probably just a tiny bit different.

Nanamo's question left Xifeng uncertain whether to answer. After all, for a VTuber, anything related to the person behind the character should be avoided as much as possible, to avoid shattering certain otakus' fantasies.

But the other party was also her number one fan, so Xifeng couldn't really refuse to answer—huh? When did she become number two again?

Only then did Xifeng notice that shortly after Nanamo tipped 50,000,000 gold seeds to overtake Bei Yaoyue, Bei Yaoyue immediately tipped 10,000 gold seeds to stay ahead by just a bit, as if telling the other party: I just want to be slightly ahead of you, bite me.

But Nanamo didn't seem to notice this right now, and Xifeng didn't want to remind her.

Although Xifeng really hoped two people would compete for the top spot so she could rake in lots of benefits—making money wasn't shameful.

But the current situation was that one of these two people was Bei Yaoyue, which made Xifeng unhappy.

What difference was there between Bei Yaoyue sending her money this way and being kept by Bei Yaoyue?

Honestly, Xifeng still couldn't quite accept being kept and living off someone else—this was almost touching her bottom line as a person.

Moreover, Bei Yaoyue doing this was indeed sending money to Bilibili, tens of thousands at a time. Xifeng really felt bad about that money.

"Just tell me, I understand industry rules and won't tell anyone." Seeing Xifeng's continued silence, Nanamo pressed.

Since Nanamo said this, Xifeng felt too embarrassed to keep deflecting. After all, she was her financial backer.

After brief consideration, to match her persona, Xifeng decided to lie: "A boy."

"Do you have photos?"

"No." Xifeng immediately replied. Asking for photos was going too far, right?

"The kind that doesn't show your face would be fine."

Hmm... if it doesn't show the face, it seemed like no problem?

Thinking this way, after brief consideration, she picked up her phone and took a photo from neck level down.

She was currently wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, looking quite androgynous. At first glance, it was hard to distinguish male from female. Though the leg shape was somewhat feminine, it could pass as a boy with a smaller frame.

Xifeng repeatedly checked the photo, confirming nothing that might expose her identity was captured, then sent it to Nanamo.

"Such a flat chest, definitely a boy." Nanamo sent this message.

"..." Xifeng laughed helplessly. Though Nanamo didn't mean to mock her, why did she feel like she'd been severely insulted?

"How old are you? You look really young."

"Fourteen."

"So young. Your figure is really quite suitable for crossdressing. I think you'd look really good in women's clothing."

"Is that so." Looking embarrassed, Xifeng brazenly replied: "I've never worn any."

"Xiyue, let me ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Do you want to struggle thirty years less?"
