Chapter 153 Xi Shi
Chapter 153 Xi Shi
Tonight is the city competition for the top 50. Xiao Jiu is planning to broadcast it at home after school this afternoon. She doesn't have to attend 8 am tomorrow, so it won't affect her coming back to school in the morning.
She definitely won't be streaming for just a few tens of minutes tonight like she did on Monday. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll probably be streaming from the start of the event until the end, three hours in total. After all, she has to defend the tower. She can't afford to put up a high score in the beginning only to have someone catch up after she goes offline; that would be a waste of her efforts.
Many top streamers definitely save up their tickets for these kinds of events. These events are always announced in advance, and many top streamers make special preparations before they start. Today is just an appetizer.
There are still rounds of fifty to twenty, twenty to five, and finally a race to the top. None of these can be decided by a single vote.
These past few days, the platform has been flooded with pop-up messages, and the special effects of the big gifts have been constantly on display.
Xiao Jiu went straight home after school, and Chu Chu also went home. It seems there's a banquet to attend tonight; her brother paid her to be his date, so why not take advantage of the money?
Her father disliked attending these banquets because he would spend his free time with her dear mother, and her brother was considered to be the lowest-ranking member of their family.
In her father's heart, her mother has the highest status, she is second, and her brother is last. Now, her brother is slowly taking over the family company because her father complains that he spends too little time with her mother.
For banquets like this, her mother doesn't suggest going out to see them; her father usually pushes them to her brother. Of course, neither her parents urge her brother to find a partner, get married, or have children, probably because they're afraid that if her brother gets married and has children, they'll have to help take care of them.
Her mother didn't care about their relationship at all. She could only promise not to be deceived by bad people, and that they could do whatever they wanted. She wouldn't object even if they brought home two people of the same gender.
Her father was quite strict about her romantic relationships. He wanted someone from a good family, good-looking, and with good character. Whether or not they were to be arranged to marry was one thing, but her father couldn't accept her bringing home a poor boy.
They value marriage between people of similar social standing. It's not that they look down on poor people, but rather that as parents, they don't dare to gamble their child's life on the character of that person.
Besides, they've spoiled their daughter for over twenty years. How could they bear to let her go and live a hard life with another man? The child is young and doesn't understand, but they're all old and they still don't understand.
It's better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on the back of a bicycle.
However, if their son likes a girl from a poor family, as long as she is of good character, they will not object. Sons and daughters are different. Their son is marrying someone else's daughter. As long as she is of good character, they, as parents, will not interfere.
They believed that their son would be good enough to support the family, so it didn't matter whether his wife had money or not. Otherwise, what was the point of him earning so much money if it was all for his wife?
When Xiao Jiu got home, she prepared to open the things Doraemon had sent her. She hadn't told her what was inside, keeping it a secret, saying she would find out when the things arrived.
Xiao Jiu opened the package and found a set of clothes inside. "That's it?" she thought. She had thought it was some kind of secret treasure. It turned out to be a cosplay outfit. The workmanship was quite exquisite. She wondered how it would look on her.
The cosplay outfit Doraemon sent was a character from a game she plays. She usually likes to play King of Glory, and her favorite character is Xi Shi. She thinks Xiao Jiu would look great in this Xi Shi outfit, "Youlong Qingying".
Xi Shi's "Dragon's Shadow" has long, silver-gray hair, a pair of blue dragon horns on her head, and wears a long, blue and white ancient-style dress with a very long hem.
Xiao Jiu is tall with a slender waist, long and thin legs, and fair and smooth skin. She looks absolutely stunning in this outfit.
Xiao Jiu wasn't very good at styling this kind of clothing, so she messaged Xiao Youzi, who arranged for a makeup artist to come to her home. Xiao Jiu was already pretty, and she looked even more stunning after the makeup was done.
Xiao Jiu started her live stream on time, having promised Doraemon that she would wear the gift she received during the live stream. She wore it for the live stream today to give her fans something new.
I must say, these clothes look quite nice on. This world has its advantages; you can fake hair and such, unlike back there where you need elixirs to change your hair color.
However, they generally do not change their hair color. Some are born with silver hair, or beasts like them will change their hair color when they transform into human form based on their original fur.
That's quite convenient. They have all sorts of colors and styles, and you can buy them as long as you have the money. If you don't want to wear them anymore, you can just take them off. And this world is amazing too. Without any disguise pills, you can transform a person into someone else just by using makeup.
If she could master this skill, she wouldn't be able to change her appearance at will without taking the Disguise Pill when she returned to Qingqiu. However, the Disguise Pill also has its advantages, such as being more convenient.
It can quickly transform one person into another.
Xiao Jiu: "Look at her, whose precious daughter is this?"
Doraemon: !!!
[Doraemon: Ahhhhh, my little sister, I knew it! You'd suit it perfectly! You look so good, you're the one I've always dreamed of!]
[Orange: Are you cosplaying today?]
[Xi Shi, it's Xi Shi! She's so beautiful! This is the skin I've always wanted but never had the heart to buy.]
I like this skin too, but it's a pity it's a bit expensive.
[It seems alright, around 168.8 cm, I think.]
This is still okay, it's already quite expensive.
I usually only buy skins that cost 6 yuan.
Like me, I don't buy anything over six yuan.
You guys are being too extravagant; I haven't spent a single penny on games.
I've never spent any money on the game, so I don't really understand the mindset of those who do.
[That's alright. A lot of people spend money on skins in King of Glory. I have a friend who spent 2,000 yuan on Love Nikki. I don't really understand her.]
Now that you mention it, your friend really is rich and willful.
[It's a personal hobby; some people like to buy things they like in games.]
For example, me, I have all the skins in King of Glory.
Hey pro, let's play together, add each other as friends, I just want to use your skins!
Xiao Jiu: "Looks like you guys are pretty familiar with this game."
