“Good morning, everyone! This is your Genius Girl Irina. Today, I’m continuing my playthrough of Nostril Knight. What? You don’t want to watch this? You say the streamer is clumsy and has no sense of direction? Heh, if this game had a PVP mode, believe it or not, I’d beat the — [Bleep] — out of you.”
Su Mu interacted with her fans in her usual friendly manner.
She would never admit that the reason she hadn’t cleared the game after playing for so long was because she was bad at it.
It was all for the sake of the program’s atmosphere.
‘I wasn’t even being serious, okay!’
[Streamer, streamer, if I give you 50 bucks, will you let me call you Mother? I’ve lacked maternal love since I was a child…]
“Get lost. If you keep being a nuisance, I’ll help you swap the positions of those two magic orbs hanging down there.”
Why could Su Mu speak so outrageously to her fans without restraint?
It was simple; it was a case of the willing victim and the willing assailant.
As for whether she insulted those who hated her… wasn’t that just a convenient way to farm experience points (Dark Magic Power)?
Su Mu wished there were more of those “irritable brothers” around.
[Stop playing around, streamer. You’re only 50,000 fans away from your face reveal. When that time comes, I’ll be facing the streamer every day…]
“Heh, try it if you can.”
Seeing similar comments, Su Mu didn’t feel angry at all.
On the contrary, she was overjoyed.
She couldn’t wait to share her “bad intentions” with everyone ahead of schedule.
Otherwise, it would be a shame if she was the only one having fun, wouldn’t it?
As for any concerns about having a strange appetite… Su Mu would do her best to eliminate that possibility.
She would use her ever-improving makeup skills to create a look horrifying enough to scare people to death, making sure they’d never be able to stand up again!
When that time came, a massive crowd would surely curse her. It didn’t matter.
The more the enemy opposed her, the more it proved she was doing the right thing!
If her friends started opposing her, then it meant they had already become enemies, and they would all be sanctioned!
[So bad.]
“What do you mean ‘bad’? If you were the one playing, how could you possibly…”
Su Mu inadvertently saw the ID of the person who made that comment and was instantly jolted.
The person was none other than Gray Rabbit Milk Candy.
In a sense, given Tang Nai’s gaming skills, she could definitely crush Su Mu, so her comment wasn’t wrong.
The problem was, was she actually watching the stream?
“Ding — !”
[Gray Rabbit Milk Candy has gifted a Rocket!]
A powerful celebratory sound effect suddenly exploded in her ears.
Su Mu’s blue eyes widened in shock as she stared at the screen, stunned by the continuous stream of gifts that followed.
She was already a fairly famous streamer, and it wasn’t uncommon for fans to give her gifts.
Her previous top donor had even given her five-figure gifts.
However, after Su Mu insulted him a few times in his private messages, the man had left feeling satisfied, leaving Su Mu completely baffled.
Since then, she had become accustomed to such situations.
Usually, she would just give a standard thank-you and be done with it.
But this time, the person giving the gifts was Tang Nai.
That black-hearted woman, Tang Nai, who was so stingy that she recorded everything in a small notebook and claimed specific amounts were “unknown” when asked!
She was giving gifts, and she was dropping tens of thousands at once?
What was she trying to do?
[Hurry up and finish this, then we have business to do. Let’s end this today. Don’t make me wait too long.]
After sending that bullet-chat message, Gray Rabbit Milk Candy went silent, but she didn’t leave the Live Broadcast Room.
Clearly, she also wanted to see how impactful Su Mu’s upcoming performance would be.
As for Su Mu, while her lips twitched, she still had to say words of gratitude.
At this moment, her mind was in total chaos.
‘Hey, hey, I’m not ready yet! You’re going to be the death of me!’
Supported by the massive gifts, the atmosphere in the Live Broadcast Room grew heated, and her popularity skyrocketed.
Countless people were pushed to the stream and flooded in.
Su Mu’s follower count was rising rapidly, increasing by dozens with every refresh.
Seeing that she was about to break the 1,000,000 mark, Su Mu couldn’t help but panic.
“Don’t rush, don’t rush. The streamer is going to go put on some makeup and then come back, okay?”
[No, no! We just love seeing the bare-faced look. We don’t want anything artificial.]
[Streamer, don’t leave! If you leave the screen, I’m unfollowing immediately.]
Obviously, that wasn’t going to work.
If Su Mu really left, she might not achieve the desired effect.
Most people would make a logical judgment after a brief shock.
It was already difficult for Su Mu to make ugly makeup look natural; she was afraid she’d be found out if people looked too closely.
Thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on Su Mu’s forehead, and she secretly complained about Tang Nai.
‘She just had to cause trouble at a time like this. As expected, that girl and I just don’t get along.’
Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared.
It was a PK request for the Live Broadcast Room.
At the same time, the administrator sent a private message, offering Su Mu a suggestion.
[Irina-chan, at this critical juncture, it’s the perfect time to accept a PK. I’ve connected you with a veteran beauty streamer. Her style is very similar to yours—both of you are the sharp-tongued type. But in terms of looks, she is absolutely flawless. That’s her unique advantage. She has always relied on competing with other beauty streamers to gain followers because there’s almost no one more beautiful than her. Many of her opponents’ fans have ended up switching to her side.]
Su Mu reconsidered.
This was perfect.
Ugly things needed beauty to serve as a contrast; otherwise, the ugliness wouldn’t be shocking enough.
But was the person on the other side really as legendary as they said?
[Brother, is she really that amazing? Aren’t you afraid I’ll be outshone?]
The administrator, however, had complete trust in her, which Su Mu found somewhat inexplicable.
[You’re a Magical Girl. No matter how pretty she is, what can she do against you? Taking her down is a matter of minutes…]
[Alright, alright, I’m done talking nonsense. I can’t believe you actually fell for that story I made up.]
This was unexpected for Su Mu.
Someone actually believed she was a Magical Girl.
Before being exposed by Tang Nai, she had always been seen as a “Clown cross-dressing as a Magical Girl.”
‘Could it be… I really am a Magical Girl? Forget it, let’s prepare how to handle this first.’
Su Mu returned to the stream and set the PK request aside for a moment, deciding to finish her current life in Nostril Knight first.
[Oh, right. You can give up on the plan to use makeup. It won’t work. You have a much more useful sharp tool on you.]
Tang Nai sent another bullet-chat message, and it was even a paid highlighted comment.
At a time like this, it was hard for Su Mu not to pay attention to it.
‘What more useful sharp tool? If I had one, would I still need to learn makeup?’
Although she was dismissive on the surface, Su Mu still took stock of her abilities.
E Level, inciting the opponent’s emotions; D Rank, Weapon Gloves.
There was no way her E Level ability could be used like that.
Did the gloves have another use?
Su Mu summoned the gloves, and countless thread ends suddenly appeared before her eyes, floating aimlessly like paramecia.
Looking at them, Su Mu fell into thought.
‘Come to think of it, my D Rank ability as a Magical Girl covers a lot of areas, including an “Overwrite” feature. Could the threads on these gloves have a similar function? But no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem possible…’
“Hey, gloves, can you make me look incredibly hideous?”
Su Mu reached out her hand and pouted at the exquisite gloves, like an elementary school student trying to use telepathy to ask their pen to finish their homework…
But Su Mu was no elementary school student.
In the next moment, those drifting threads suddenly acted like sharks scenting blood.
They all pointed toward Su Mu’s cheeks, giving her a fright.
‘Wait, are you for real?’
The threads swarmed forward, occupying every crack and pore on Su Mu’s face, immediately causing her to lose the ability to speak.
‘Gently! That hurts!’
