Chapter 115: I Am the Top Ranker
Lin Sui slept directly until the afternoon the next day; she was still groggy when she woke up, and her throat was a bit hoarse.
Is this the price of staying up all night singing?
She went out to exercise for a while to refresh herself.
The road outside usually had no cars, making it very suitable for running.
Lin Sui went out for a run, and when she was about to head back, she discovered two people following behind her.
Two people like bamboo poles, panting incessantly after running two steps, feeling as if they could fall over with a gust of wind.
"Yo, how rare," Lin Sui greeted them.
The two thinnest people in the Company were none other than Shen Ti and Miaomiaomiao.
Miaomiaomiao had an aesthetic that excessively pursued being pale, young, and thin.
As for Shen Ti, he had poor health and malnutrition; Lin Sui knew that he had been exercising during his recent Live Streaming.
She hadn't expected Miaomiaomiao to follow suit and exercise as well.
"I'm so tired, Sister Sui..." Miaomiaomiao held onto her knees, already unable to stand up straight.
"Don't overexert yourself the first time you exercise; your body won't be able to take it," Lin Sui reminded her.
Miaomiaomiao said, "I can't help it, someone is watching."
"Who?" Lin Sui glanced at Shen Ti, who was also panting heavily beside her, "Are you two supervising each other?"
Shen Ti pointed toward the entrance of the Company.
She saw Suyu holding his phone and filming in this direction, even taking a moment to wave at her, as if saying hello.
Lin Sui: "?"
Miaomiaomiao explained, "We lost a game yesterday, and this is the punishment; we have to post it on social media later."
Lin Sui: "..."
"I thought the sun had risen in the west, that you'd actually learned to exercise," Lin Sui said, looking slightly speechless, "You two keep running slowly."
She had to go back to eat.
But she wasn't there for their group Live Streaming yesterday; had they actually come up with new ways to play?
There was even such a thing as a punishment.
It sounded a bit interesting.
By the time Lin Sui ran back and passed by Suyu, Suyu leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to place a bet?"
"What is it?"
He looked toward the two people on the road who were panting with every step, "Guess which one of them will give up first."
"If you lose, you have to send a luxury gift to my Live Streaming Room tonight."
This method of punishment—they had even learned it from Lin Sui.
After all, a luxury gift was real money!
Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "What's the minimum to start?"
Suyu's eyes lit up; there was a chance.
He had never seen Lin Sui send a gift before; her level was still level 1 to this day.
Today was the time to let her break that streak.
"10 to start! Sister shouldn't be short of those ten, right?"
Lin Sui glanced at him, "Are you short of those ten?"
"Of course I'm not short of them," Suyu hummed with a laugh.
"How many people did you bet with?" Lin Sui asked.
Suyu said vaguely, "Oh, there are only so many people in the Company, how many people could I possibly bet with?"
"In other words, you aren't losing anything at all, right?" In the Company, some people would always choose Shen Ti, and some would choose Miaomiaomiao.
The wrong choices cancel out the right ones, and it's basically playing for free.
"Not necessarily," Suyu told her the current situation, "Right now, more people are picking Shen Ti to win; what if Miaomiaomiao wins in a bit? Wouldn't I make a profit?"
Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "You're lucky, kid."
"How so?"
"Because Shen Ti is going to lose in a bit," Lin Sui said, "I'm betting that Shen Ti will be the first to give up."
Her confident demeanor made Suyu's confidence soar, "Is that for real?"
Others chose Shen Ti to win because when Shen Ti showed off his skills in the Live Streaming Room, it was always through sports and fitness; although it looked a bit funny, he had at least been exercising for a while, so he should have better stamina than Miaomiaomiao, right?
So everyone chose Miaomiaomiao to be the first to give up.
If Lin Sui was right and Shen Ti was the first to give up, he would make a killing.
Lin Sui patted his shoulder, "When you see Shen Ti fall, hurry over, reach into his pocket, and feed him his medicine."
"I won't say anything more."
Shen Ti might have better stamina than Miaomiaomiao, but Shen Ti was sick, and Miaomiaomiao was not.
This was Miaomiaomiao's greatest advantage, even great enough to crush Shen Ti.
Lin Sui dropped this sentence and walked into the Company.
She had only been inside for a few seconds when a scream came from Miaomiaomiao's side.
Shen Ti had indeed suddenly collapsed to the ground; Suyu hurried over and, just as Lin Sui had said, fished the medicine out of Shen Ti's pocket and fed it to him.
"You, why didn't you say sooner that you couldn't do strenuous exercise?" Suyu said, though he couldn't quite suppress the curve of his lips.
Shen Ti lay on the ground and explained, "I just wasn't used to it yet."
It wasn't that he couldn't exercise, just that he hadn't moved much before and had been training a bit too diligently recently.
Ordinary people couldn't stand it, let alone him.
"I get it, I get it," Suyu replied.
Although he hadn't managed to trick Lin Sui into giving ten Carnivals, he had already secured the others!
It was thanks to Shen Ti not being used to it yet.
Shen Ti: "..."
What did it mean that he felt his expression was a bit gloating?
During the Live Streaming in the evening.
Lin Sui was already much more energetic, and Gu Xing had already entered the Live Streaming Room as soon as Lin Sui started the Live Streaming.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people, he asked a question.
LV68 Gu Xing: "Aren't you going to write a Small Composition for the number one brother on the leaderboard?"
Seeing the words "Small Composition," Lin Sui thought of the ones she had sent to others before and was slightly surprised. "Does Gu Xing Ge like that sort of thing?"
LV68 Gu Xing: "I don't like it, but it means you don't value me."
"I'm sorry, brother. I stayed up too late last night; I fell asleep as soon as I ended the Live Streaming. I'll definitely write one tonight!" Lin Sui apologized.
A copy-pasted Small Composition—that was easy as pie.
LV68 Gu Xing: "Hmph, that's more like it."
【LV68 Gu Xing gifted the Live Streamer Diamond Carnival *5】
Five Carnivals with skins, starting the day as Lin Sui's number one brother.
He gave himself some face.
"Thank you, my Gu Xing Ge! Tonight's Live Streaming is wonderful because of you." Lin Sui made a heart gesture.
Hearing this, Gu Xing's attitude, which had been a bit angry from not getting a Small Composition last night, softened.
As expected, he was her only big brother.
If there were even one more big brother, she wouldn't dare say the words "wonderful because of you" in the Live Streaming Room.
LV60 Suyu: "What? Now the number one brother on the leaderboard gets a Small Composition?"
Suddenly, Suyu popped up on the public screen.
【LV60 Suyu gifted the Live Streamer Diamond Carnival *10】
LV61 Suyu: "Big sister, I want a Small Composition too~"
He seemed to be a big brother who had appeared out of thin air, and he started off by gifting ten Carnivals with skins.
Gu Xing, who had just been secretly smug, immediately became vigilant.
There weren't many people above level 60 in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room; how come he hadn't seen this ID yesterday?
Lin Sui made an "OK" gesture. "Alright, I'll wholesale one for you later too."
LV61 Suyu: "As long as it's sent by big sister, I like it all~"
LV68 Gu Xing: "@Suyu?"
LV61 Suyu: "Is there something you need, brother?"
【LV68 Gu Xing gifted the Live Streamer Diamond Carnival *11】
LV68 Gu Xing: "I am the number one on the leaderboard, okay?"
LV61 Suyu: "OK, OK. I just lost a bet, so I came over to gift the Live Streamer some Carnivals. I'm leaving; I have to do my own Live Streaming too."
LV68 Gu Xing: "?"
Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier!
He had thought it was someone competing with him for the number one spot!
