As for who will ultimately win, it depends on the routes chosen by the contestants and the presentation effects. Yan Chuan thought that the platform knows how to play the game. On one hand, it encourages participating streamers to attract attention in various ways, while on the other hand, it throws viewers sensational live-streaming gimmicks. In the end, the platform remains the true beneficiary.
However, if he wants to complete the main storyline task and the third task given to him in the script, he has to participate in this event. Last night, just before falling asleep, he once again heard the familiar mechanical voice in his ear. “Task Three,” the system said, “Please participate in the platform’s ‘January Love Event’ and achieve first place.”
Not only did he want to attend this event to fulfill the main storyline task, but the script also required him to come in first place during the event. Yan Chuan frowned slightly. He had informed his manager ahead of time that he would be participating in this activity, but a final partner had not yet been chosen.
As a recently famous streamer, his manager mentioned that the platform might provide him with some conveniences. As for what kind of conveniences those might be, Yan Chuan had no way of knowing.
After a moment, there was a knock on the lounge door. “Come in.” Yan Chuan opened the door and saw a kindly middle-aged man. This man was his manager, who had just messaged him. His manager greeted him and then got straight to the point: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to sign the contract.”
In this society, where technology is highly developed, important moments such as signing contracts still require the person to be present. Yan Chuan had no objections and followed him to the staff elevator.
Soon, the elevator arrived at the top floor of the building. There were significantly fewer people here; the corridor was empty, and occasionally, managers dressed in suits led young and attractive streamers inside. Yan Chuan now played the role of a young and attractive little streamer, following his manager.
His manager took him into a spacious office. There weren’t many people inside, and the decor was simple. In the corner, there was a stack of bound documents. “The process is a bit complicated,” his manager said, getting him to sit down with a hint of apology. “The platform’s manager has recently started paying attention to the contracts of the streamers, so yours, being a revised agreement, will require extra scrutiny. You may need to wait here while I take the documents for their review.”
Yan Chuan expressed that he had no issues with this. His manager walked away with a stack of documents, leaving him alone in the office to wait. He activated his screen and noticed a notification from the backend.
Upon checking, he found a message from Spade. He paused for a moment, then remembered who this person was. The ID belonged to Spade, a streamer whose main role was as a dealer, with most of his content related to gambling. He had invited Yan Chuan to do a collaborative live stream the last time they spoke.
Yan Chuan remembered that he had given a positive response, but hadn’t provided a specific time, waiting for Spade to find a moment to discuss it together. Now that he thought about it… if Spade was interested in participating in the platform’s event, it wouldn’t hurt to collaborate with him.
Yan Chuan opened the message. “Good afternoon,” Spade greeted politely and then sent him an address along with a brief video of the location. “This is the venue, and since it involves gambling, the live-streaming location is at my place.”
Yan Chuan clicked on the video. It briefly showcased the layout of the small casino he was in and the operation of various equipment, and it was described in detail. Spade also added the theme of the live stream. “I’ll be the gambler,” Spade said, “and you will play the dealer. I’ve already arranged the outfit for you.”
Being just a simple dealer… that sounded acceptable. If Spade had asked him to participate in the gambling, Yan Chuan would have definitely refused. Currently, he had no objections and replied with a simple “Okay.”
Yan Chuan thought for a moment and asked, “What is the outfit?”
Do dealers really need specific clothes?
Yan Chuan recalled the classic images of dealers he had seen in films—either stunning beauties flaunting their charm or serious actors in formal attire. What kind of outfit would Spade arrange for him?
In this script, aside from wearing a shirt and pants like a work uniform at the company, he hadn’t worn any formal wear. After all, his fans in the live stream loved to see him in dresses…
After sending the message, he quickly received a response.
Spade: “A bunny girl outfit.”
【Little bunny, let me pinch your tail and give you a kiss! Mwah!】
【This man has good taste and can be dealt with.】
【Shoulder and leg-baring bunny costume, short shorts, a belt hugging soft white skin, and a fluffy little tail dangling at the back… thank you!】
【When’s the live stream? I want to see! NPCs in the script want to see too!】
Yan Chuan: …
?
Why did it suddenly become a bunny girl outfit for him? Did he look like someone who fit wearing such clothes?
Before Yan Chuan could express his confusion, Spade began to explain.
“I checked out your live stream and considered it comprehensively,” he said. “I think this outfit would suit you.”
“The costume is custom-made for you, so it took a bit of time.” Spade continued, “Let’s set the date on a day off—let me know when you’re free… does that work?”
Yan Chuan really wanted to reply that it didn’t.
However, he hadn’t seen a more reliable-looking streamer than Spade in the backend invites.
All the others were similar to those who had previously sent flirty messages, asking how to pursue him, hiding their true intentions.
Spade hadn’t revealed his full face in the streaming videos, but his professional skills were solid, and he seemed fairly reliable.
Yan Chuan recalled Spade’s video. He looked quite serious… so why did it become strange when it came to this?
Just as the screen was about to dim…
