Brian Clark picked a few IDs he liked and added them. Soon, he received several game invites, but he rejected them all and started a four-man squad match on his own: “It’s getting a bit late now. I’ll play two more rounds before ending the stream. Tomorrow morning at 11:30, I’ll start on time.”

　　【So soon?? I’ve only watched two games…】

　　【Stream a bit longer, I’m just getting hooked.】

　　【Streamer, turn on your camera! Turn on your camera! Turn on your camera!】

　　【I’ll give you ten more little fire icons, just stream a bit longer.】

　　Brian Clark glanced at the screen. He had just shouted once, and his level instantly rose to level two, already halfway to level three.

　　He compromised: “Alright, since everyone’s sent me so many gifts, I’ll stream a bit longer…”

　　【1 sent a little star】

　　The little star, a paid gift, didn’t sound very impressive, but it cost five hundred yuan. It was also the first paid gift Brian Clark had ever received.

　　“Thank you, 1, for the gift.” Brian Clark took another look at the username. “Ah… Boss, I remember you. You were the first viewer in my stream.”

　　Ethan Foster’s hand paused slightly on the mouse.

　　He just thought this streamer was interesting. When he heard him ask for gifts, he casually clicked one. Since it was a special account, he didn’t even have to pay. He didn’t expect to be called out.

　　Through the speakers, the man continued, “Boss, since we’re so fated, want to play a game? I’ll carry you for a few rounds?”

　　Ethan Foster didn’t play games, but he had just glanced at it and thought this game seemed pretty fun—a shooter, a man’s favorite.

　　No wonder this game’s popularity had skyrocketed in just a few months. From the reports his subordinates submitted, the PUBG section was already the top traffic zone on Xingkong TV.

　　【1: No need.】

　　Seeing the other party refuse, Brian Clark didn’t push it and quickly opened the map to mark the city he wanted to drop into.

　　——

　　After a day of streaming, it was already 1 a.m. by the time he finished showering and got back to bed.

　　Brian Clark lay on the bed, casually grabbed his phone from the nightstand, and opened the Xingkong TV streaming platform.

　　He thought for a moment, then got up and fished out the document he had just printed from the cabinet.

　　Today, admin 03 had sent the rules and notes for the streamer support program, listing the room numbers and streaming IDs of the five participating streamers.

　　He’d only glanced at the document briefly when he received it due to time constraints, but now, looking closely, his suspicions were immediately confirmed.

　　Next to his ID was a line of familiar letters: XKTVlaoshu.

　　It was that little cheater from today.

　　He’d thought the ID looked familiar when he saw it, but since he was streaming at the time, he couldn’t confirm it.

　　Cheaters are hated by every player, and Brian Clark was no exception. Although he hadn’t said anything during the stream, he still felt a strong aversion inside.

　　He thought for a moment and typed XKTVlaoshu’s room number into his phone.

　　The room was still live, with the title: 【New streamer Mason Foster, open to all kinds of teasing and insults! Cash red envelope lottery every hour!】

　　Brian Clark glanced at the viewer count and couldn’t help but press his lips together.

　　There were a full fourteen thousand viewers.

　　The lottery really did attract viewers, but unfortunately, his own wallet couldn’t support such extravagant methods.

　　To focus on streaming, he’d spent a long time doing companion gaming to save up a five-figure sum, just in case streaming didn’t make money—his backup plan.

　　“It’s almost two o’clock. After this round, I’ll do a lottery for everyone. Five hundred yuan, just send a comment to enter!”

　　The man’s voice was a bit sharp, with a slight accent.

　　In the bottom right corner of the game interface, the camera was on, showing a rather chubby, crew-cut man sitting in front of the lens, with lots of PUBG merchandise behind him.

　　Mason Foster was playing a four-man squad, with only 12 people left alive.

　　Brian Clark fought off his drowsiness, deciding to watch this round to the end.

　　At first, everything seemed normal. It was clear that this Mason Foster did have some skill, otherwise he wouldn’t have qualified for the streamer support program.

　　But when the number of survivors dropped to 5, Brian Clark sensed something was off.

　　—This Mason Foster could spot people the moment he aimed down sights.

　　Finding people in the final circle is extremely difficult. Everyone tries their best to hide their tracks to avoid being exposed and focused by the remaining players.

　　But Mason Foster aimed down sights twice in a row and both times precisely locked onto someone—right on the head, too.

　　Before Brian Clark could think further, those two kills were already in Mason Foster’s bag, and the chat was instantly flooded with 6666.

　　【The streamer is amazing, six chicken dinners in one night, awesome!】

　　【This is a new streamer? Even better than the veterans. I’m a fan now! I’ll follow so I can find you easily next time~】

　　【Mason Foster has been in the top ten on Asia servers, really impressive. I heard he’s also good friends with Sophie Clark!】

　　Sophie Clark is a well-known streamer on Xingkong TV, always on the first page of the PUBG section. Brian Clark had seen him several times today.

　　Brian Clark frowned. He didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he felt these chat messages were over-the-top with their flattery, and the way they spoke was especially odd.

　　Like paid commenters.
