Chapter 64 Call it "Milk Sugar," rather than "Thanes"
Sophia couldn't help but laugh and cry, so she could only help them ask for leave from kindergarten.
After making sure they were fine, she finally felt relieved and went to work.
As soon as Mommy left, the two little ones sneaked into Mommy's study and turned on her computer.
Emma hurriedly said, "Ethan, quickly adjust the equipment for me."
Ethan helped Emma attentively and seriously.
Today is the day of Emma's live gaming competition. Emma has been preparing for this match every day, dragging Ethan along to practice with her.
Even before the live stream started, tens of thousands of fans had already joined, and the host was promoting the event.
This PK (Player versus Player) competition had the top ten ranked players participating. The top three winners would receive ten sets of limited edition game equipment, a cash prize, and most importantly, it was said that Lancaster's live streaming company was hosting it and would be selecting a game anchor for special training.
If chosen by Lancaster, it would be an unparalleled opportunity.
The promotion for this live gaming PK had been going on for a while, so there was a lot of attention. Emma attached great importance to this opportunity. As long as she could stand out in this PK, she wouldn't have to worry about having no viewers when she starts her own live stream in the future.
The host's excited voice echoed, "All of our players have entered the live room. Now, let me introduce the rules..."
More and more people were entering the live room. After all, it was a gathering of Caroline, the top players from across the server. How could game enthusiasts miss it?
Ethan logged into his account on the iPad and entered the live room to cheer for Emma.
Emma had the lowest popularity, always at the bottom of the rankings, so she received far less attention than others.
There were very few people cheering for her.
But Emma wasn't worried at all. She focused on selecting her equipment.
The comment section was lively.
Ethan noticed a comment cheering for Emma.
Big John: "MilkSugar is too sweet, let's go!"
"MilkSugar is too sweet" was Emma's in-game name.
This user named "Big John" kept leaving comments, and Ethan added a response: "Thank you for liking MilkSugar’s sweetness. She will strive to win first place."
Ethan's polite reply successfully earned him some ridicule from others.
[Don't boast about someone at the bottom of the rankings.]
[Stop embarrassing yourself. Take a look at your own rank.]
[Last place won't stop crying.]
Ethan ignored these comments. The bored mockery was soon buried by encouraging comments from others.
The game was about to start. Due to the large number of participants, it was divided into five pairs for double PK matches, gradually eliminating participants until the final PK.
The first round ended.
The comment section exploded.
[MilkSugar is too sweet, how did you manage to rank at the bottom?]
[She made it to the next round, I'm shocked.]
[I have a feeling that I might have ridiculed a true pro.]
Emma's advancement in the first round undoubtedly slapped those who had mocked her ranking in the face. And now, the second round would definitely make those people feel embarrassed.
Emma was not affected at all by the comments section and performed quite steadily. In the live stream, the game interface was switched on. Initially, Emma seemed weak, dodging attacks from others everywhere. But in reality, she was waiting for the right moment, conserving her energy.
After about five or six minutes, Emma suddenly counterattacked. When everyone had let their guard down and hadn't reacted yet, the screen turned grey, and she died. Everyone died. Just as they revived, they died again. Revived again, and died once more.
It made people frustrated to the point of wanting to smash their keyboards, as they were not given any chance to revive. The comments section suddenly quieted down, with not a single person posting a comment. Everyone was staring at the live screen.
Larry, who took a leave from work specifically to watch the live stream, was dumbfounded, not daring to blink. Half a minute later, someone trembled and typed a line in the comments section.
"Why call her MilkSugar? Might as well change her name to Thanes." I am Thanes: "I'm here." He's ranked first, but unexpectedly, he was second away from last...
The host went crazy, and a sharp voice startled everyone. Until the game ended, many people still couldn't react, each one reminiscing about Emma's incredible plays.
Gabriel finished watching the entire match in the office, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He pointed to Emma's username and said to Alex beside him, "She's the one." Alex made a note of it.
The competition ended, and the top three were announced. Emma undoubtedly became the champion, followed by a live interview.
All contestants had to go live and greet everyone, especially the top three, who had to answer questions.
The excitement was evident in the host's voice: "Today's competition was unexpectedly intense, and we never thought that the one ranked second to last would turn out to be a dark horse. I'm sure many people here would like to ask our sweet candy, MilkSugar, why she suddenly became so strong. Does she have any secrets?"
The voice switched to Emma's side, and Emma opened her microphone. Her sweet and tender voice came through, "I don't have any secrets. I have to go to school, so I don't have time to play the rankings."
"Oh my god, it's Scarlett in lily form!" "She sounds like a little kid. She even goes to school."
"How old are you, little sister?" Emma replied, "I'm already five years old, so I'm not a little sister anymore." "When I was five, I was still playing with mud."
"I don't believe it unless you turn on your webcam."
"Refusing to show your face must mean you're some creepy guy pretending to be a cute girl. sigh."
"Pretending to be a cute girl is one thing, but pretending to be a baby?" Emma firmly stated, "I can't turn on the webcam. Mommy said if you guys see MilkSugar’s face, bad people will take her away."
"Her voice is sweet, soft, and cute. Even if it's a creepy guy, I love it."
"Hello to the person above, you're so disgusting."
"I can't take it anymore. It's just too much of an act."
"Even if she's pretending, who cares when she has that skill?" The comment section was filled with intense arguments, and the host received instructions to cut back.
The host said, "We are now connecting with Mr. Lancaster, the CEO of Lancaster Group. Please say a few words, Mr. Lancaster." The comment section was immediately bustling, with Gabriel’s appearance drew attention.
"Hello everyone, I am Gabriel." Gabriel's usual cold voice echoed in the live broadcast room, capturing the favor of many female gaming fans with his magnetic and deep Scarlett cannon. The comments section was flooded with praise for his attractive voice.
【So Lancaster really wants to sign a streamer.】
【It must be MilkSugar.】
【I disagree. MilkSugar is too fake. If they sign her, I won't watch.】
【Whether you like it or not, I support MilkSugar.】
【Sign Thanes.】
【I think Mr. Shanghai is better. He already has a hundred thousand fans.】
The top-ranked streamers all had their own followers advocating for them, and soon the comments section erupted into another argument.
Ignoring the discussions in the comments, Gabriel's voice softened as he turned to Emma and asked, "Do your family members know that you play games?"
Thinking about how her bad-daddy had bullied her mommy, Emma felt angry, and her eyes seemed to burn with a small flame, ready to incinerate Gabriel on the other side of the computer.
With an innocent tone, Emma replied, "Mommy says I shouldn't talk too much with strangers, otherwise, they might start watching me."
