Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 282

Lately, hardly anyone dared to challenge Su Ci in a PK match.

At first, plenty of streamers had scrambled to connect with her—partly to give their viewers a glimpse of the rising star of the music platform, boosting their own watchability and riding the wave of her popularity.

The other reason? Her sky-high “medical expenses” giveaways.

In other streamers’ rooms, having one generous patron was already something to cherish. In Su Su’s stream, she had so many big spenders you couldn’t even count them on both hands. It was common for them to gift her enough “medical expenses” to cover four or five doses in a single PK match.

But after going up against her for a while, many mid- to upper-tier streamers found themselves losing followers and viewership, with their revenue plunging in a straight line.

Their future was looking bleak.

They’d wanted to use Su Su’s fame to gain followers, maybe even poach one of her patrons. Instead, Su Su did nothing but eat, drink, and banter, yet somehow drew away their fans…

A total loss in every sense of the word.

So, after a while, no one dared to link with Su Su anymore.

As for the smaller streamers with hardly any fans, they were happy to connect with her for the “medical expenses,” but their levels weren’t high enough for the system to match them with a top-tier anchor.

When Ning Xue suddenly initiated a forced PK connection, Su Ci was on mic with some of her regular patrons, playing a word-chain game about “touring the three gardens.”

On mic this round were Sheng Yan, Yao Yao Ling, and the melodramatically named Qiqi Can Can Qiqi (“Tragic, Miserable, Pathetic”).

Starting clockwise from Su Ci—

“Sunday, touring the three gardens. Which garden? Five-yuan spicy-strip garden.”

Sheng Yan: “A scallion.”

Yao Yao Ling: “Boiled fish.”

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “…Zhou Bapi.” (t/n: A historical figure and archetype of a greedy, unscrupulous boss in Chinese culture.)

Su Ci’s lips curved upward. “Little Fortunate One, and—Tragic Brother, no peeking at the chat prompts, okay? Or next time you’ll have to do eight rounds of baby-talk as punishment~”

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “Who peeked? I didn’t!”

【Hahaha, streamer’s got guts!】
【Turning the tables! Big-hearted streamer!】
【These patrons are so indulgent—never mad even when they lose, always doing punishments and showering her with gifts. Warms my heart.】
【Y1S1 (t/n: slang for “Yes, I Say 1” = “Honestly”), Tragic Bro’s voice is so unique—eight rounds of baby-talk would be a disaster! Now I’m curious!】
【Attention all—no hints!】

Sheng Yan: “Spicy beef tendons.”

Yao Yao Ling: “Kiss-burn” (t/n: a brand of spicy snack sticks).

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “…Weilong!” (t/n: a famous spicy snack brand in China.)

Yao Yao Ling: “Su Su, I’m reporting him—he peeked again! ‘Weilong’ was in the chat, I took a screenshot as evidence.”

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “I really didn’t!”

Su Ci’s smile widened. “Alright, let’s say you didn’t peek—but punishment still stands.”

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “Ahem, even though I didn’t lose… if the streamer really wants to hear it, I’ll send it to you privately when no one else is around.”

【I’m dying—he’s trying to bargain!】
【If you want to act cute for the streamer, just say so—no one here will laugh at you.】
【Tragic Bro, did you say thank you yet?】

Su Ci: “You did lose. Weilong’s a brand, not the snack’s actual name—and the cheapest Weilong is five-yuan Kiss-burn, which we already said. The others cost more than a yuan each!”

Qiqi Can Can Qiqi: “…You’re bullying me.”

He’d never even eaten spicy strips in his life.

After some grumbling, Tragic Bro cleared his throat, using a deep, domineering tone to read eight rounds of syrupy baby-talk: “Pretty please? I’m begging you…”

Suddenly, a forced PK connection cut in.

“…Love you the most! Can I, please? I want it~”

Playing along, Su Ci raised her hand in a graceful gesture and answered with a smile—

“Of course, of course—it’s all yours, my poor Tragic Baby, muah~”

【Streamer’s trying so hard not to laugh.】
【777: Wife, I want to play too.】
【Qiqi Can Can Qiqi sent Su Su Shining Galaxy ×1】 (999 diamonds) ×2 ×3 … ×66
【Tsk tsk, feels good to get a kiss from your streamer wife, huh?】

Ning Xue’s eyes widened.

This was how Su Su’s stream worked? Punishing her patrons?

The entertainment value was through the roof—no wonder she gained followers so fast without even needing PK matches. Her fans were glued to her every night.

For other female streamers, patrons were like gods—always flattered, always humored, even when they made unreasonable demands.

But Su Su? She ruled over hers like a queen.

This is ruining the whole live-streaming scene, Ning Xue thought sourly.

If everyone did what Su Su was doing, who would still pay to watch?

No wonder overall revenue had been dropping lately.

With so many loyal patrons, Su Su could afford not to worry. But what about the mid-tier streamers like Ning Xue, whose livelihood was being undercut?

Was she just supposed to watch her career go downhill?

Within seconds, Ning Xue’s face cycled through colors like a painter’s palette, finally settling into an awkward stiffness.

This unexpected PK—Su Ci could’ve hung up.

But “Ning Xue”’s number-one supporter caught her attention.

Qushui Liushang—President Qu.

The very same Qu who had made trouble for her before.

Su Su’s patrons reacted faster than she did.

【AoTuMan: No wonder I smelled something nasty from afar—it’s trash.】
【Holland Bean: Yuck—don’t back down, streamer. The patrons are all here tonight. Let’s work together and crush this shameless Qu-dog!】
【Guest17493258: So it’s him.】
【Young Master: How did the mods let this dog out? The platform’s management needs a shake-up.】

Sheng Yan: “Sorry, I didn’t handle this properly. It’s my fault—please give me some more time.”

Su Ci: “…Huh? It’s not your fault.”

Over a hundred luxury gifts sent, forcing the opponent to flee in embarrassment—if that wasn’t handling it well, what was?

Ning Xue, meanwhile, was completely ignored.

She’d spent ages setting up her grand entrance, but failed to catch the patrons’ attention—Su Su herself didn’t even acknowledge her. The humiliation was unbearable.

Watching her viewer count drop in the corner of the screen, she finally forced a smile. “Good evening, Su Su. I connected because I wanted to ask you something…”

“I’m in the Wave-Rider Tournament, and the rankings settle tonight. Since you’re not competing, how about letting me take the top spot for the exposure?”

Su Ci had assumed Ning Xue was here to stir trouble like Zhou Zhou had—but it turned out to be over nothing more than the number-one ranking’s site-wide announcement and a few bonus points.

“Isn’t it easy to get number one? Just have your patron spend a little more—don’t hold back.”

Since she had no grudge against Ning Xue herself—but did against President Qu—helping Ning Xue meant making Qu pay up.

Ning Xue’s back teeth nearly cracked from clenching.

There were plenty of wealthy patrons on the platform, but reaching number one wasn’t something you could just decide to do—unless you were Su Su, dominating both the hourly and popularity charts every day.

“Well, my patron’s not as rich as yours.”

“Besides, money doesn’t grow on trees. I feel bad making my patrons spend so much—can’t have them breaking the bank every day.”

【AoTuMan: Hmph! She’s being passive-aggressive!】
【Holland Bean: Definitely bad news.】
【Su Su’s Cat: Tell her—it does grow on trees.】
【Snow Over the Blue: Money’s just a worldly possession—don’t worry about spending it, worry about the streamer. Next time, skip the bizarre food. Your lips were so swollen.】

Without thinking, Su Ci blurted, “Then your patron’s just not good enough.”

She’d always been casual with her own patrons, saying whatever came to mind. And looking at Ning Xue’s leaderboard, the names there were all the same type as President Qu—so she wasn’t wrong.

Offending them? Not a concern.

Ning Xue’s face darkened, but she forced a laugh to protect her patron’s pride. “Like I said, you’ve got the numbers. I’m just being considerate—so why not let me have this one?”

【Young Master: Open the PK.】
【DE.You Che: Well, this is lively.】
【Leisurely Cloud: Randomly pick one to fight them. If we lose, they’re out of the fan club.】
【No-Rank Patron Star: No way we’d lose!】

Su Ci, suddenly feeling competitive, arched an eyebrow. “My patrons don’t agree—they want to send someone to single you out. If you lose, you admit your patron’s not good enough. Deal?”

Ning Xue hesitated. “You don’t get to pick the person. What if you rig it? I’ll choose one from your top ten.”
