The First Order

First Order

Recently, however, Tuan Tuan's livestreams hadn't been doing well. She had no new content, and the same old routines were starting to bore her viewers.

Landing and immediately dying wasn't a big deal. The real problem was that streaming alone was somewhat dull, and she needed a partner to create a fresh atmosphere for the show.

She had invited quite a few viewers before, but unfortunately, not one of them had satisfied her.

Some had unpleasant voices, some were terrible at the game, and some became so nervous in front of the camera that they didn't dare say a word.

After that, she found a male streamer named Chen Sigou to play duos with her, but he was always treating her with ulterior motives.

He was constantly trying to grow closer to her and pursue her.

The fans in her own stream also followed his lead, spamming comments every day suggesting that the two of them get together. It annoyed Tuan Tuan to no end.

In fact, just yesterday, Chen Sigou had been forced to confess to her at his fans' request, leaving her extremely embarrassed. In the end, nothing came of it.

So today, she didn't plan to look for Chen Sigou. Instead, she intended to find a handsome guy or pretty girl through a gaming companion service and see how that worked out.

"Tuan Tuan, Chen Sigou is streaming too! Hurry and invite him!"

"Did you accept his confession last night or not? Chen Sigou is such a good guy, and he treats you so well. If you don't accept him, are you even human?"

"If I were a woman, I'd definitely accept Chen Sigou's confession!"

"Chen Sigou is already waiting for you! He says he has a surprise for you today!"

Looking at the comments before her, Tuan Tuan didn't feel any fondness for him. Instead, she felt even more repulsed.

Suppressing her emotions, Tuan Tuan smiled and said to her viewers, "Today, we're not playing duos with Chen Sigou. I'm planning to find a handsome gaming companion to carry me."

"Seriously? What's Chen Sigou supposed to think?"

"You're looking for someone else behind Chen Sigou's back? Are you cheating on him?"

"Chen Sigou's fans, get out! Tuan Tuan never agreed to be his girlfriend, okay?"

"Exactly. Chen Sigou's fans are already making me sick. I support Tuan Tuan!"

"Heh. Women."

Looking at those comments, Tuan Tuan felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.

She had never accepted Chen Sigou's confession. In fact, out of consideration for his dignity, she had seriously told him after the stream ended that she wasn't interested in him.

She hadn't expected his fans to go this far.

Although it was his fans saying these things, if Chen Sigou himself had publicly stated that their relationship was innocent, how could his fans have been so easily stirred up?

Besides, Chen Sigou had treated her confession like words going in one ear and out the other. He had never made anything public and had only pursued her even more aggressively.

Ignoring the uproar in the comments, Tuan Tuan began browsing Bixin for a gaming companion.

Many people were placing orders for high-level companions. Tuan Tuan wanted to choose one, but she would have to wait too long.

She could only settle for a lower-level order. When she flipped through the recommendations and found an order from a male gaming companion, she was somewhat surprised.

The other party's rating was only 1,500, and he had never accepted a single order before. Yet he had actually appeared on the recommendation page.

The order included information provided by the other party: "Chicken Dinner gaming service, 40 percent win rate."

In other words, he claimed he could carry her to four Chicken Dinners out of ten games. Even professional players farming low-level lobbies wouldn't have the confidence to make such a claim.

Tuan Tuan didn't believe it at all. She had intended to skip this braggart, but there was a review from a female customer-service representative beneath the order.

It read: "Personally tested by customer service Xiao Xian: the owner of this order has a voice as beautiful as heavenly music. An absolute delight for voice fetishists!"

She knew this customer-service representative, Xiao Xian. She was Bixin's gold-level customer-service agent and had recommended many gaming companion services. Customers liked them very much, and her reputation was excellent.

For her to give such a glowing review made Tuan Tuan a little tempted.

"Forget it. I'll order him for an hour and see how it goes. If he's no good, I'll switch immediately. It only costs twenty yuan, anyway."

With that thought, Tuan Tuan placed an order with Jiang Siming and gave him a YY Channel number.

Before long, a YY account with the ID Ming entered her livestream.

"Hello. Are you Ms. Tina, who just placed the order?"

Tina was Tuan Tuan's Bixin account name.

The instant Tuan Tuan heard Jiang Siming's voice, she and the viewers in her livestream were all captivated.

His voice was like being wrapped in the warmth of a refined scholar—tingling, magnetic, and electric. It captivated a large number of viewers, as well as Tuan Tuan herself.

"No way! How can this voice be so nice?"

"It's a voice changer, right?"

"I've never heard a voice changer that sounded this good."

"Wow, I'm in love!"

"Why does his voice sound a little familiar? It's kind of like Xiao Mei's dream lover's voice."

"It really does sound a bit like him! I watched that stream that day."

Tuan Tuan didn't see the last few comments. In fact, she hadn't even noticed the earlier ones.

Completely stunned by that voice, Tuan Tuan panicked a little and actually forgot what she was supposed to do next.

"Um... hello. Are you the gaming companion named Ming?"

Tuan Tuan realized that she was stammering. Could it be that I've heard too many pig squeals lately and my throat has gone hoarse?

"Mm. Thank you for placing my order. If you have any requirements for the service, you can tell me. If I can do it, I'll do my best to accommodate you."

Jiang Siming didn't know whether this was how gaming companions were supposed to act. Still, he had already started talking, so he might as well continue.

"Can I ask you a few questions first?"

"Sure, but nothing personal."

"Is your voice real, or are you using a sound card?"

"It's real. My computer's sound card uses the default system settings. I've never changed anything."

"One last question. Can you really carry me to four Chicken Dinners out of ten games? I don't need four. One will do. Can you manage that?"

"Yes."

"In 2,000-point games. I'll give you a smurf account."

"That's no problem either."

"Then everything's settled. Let's begin!"

Every time Jiang Siming answered, Tuan Tuan's little heart skipped a beat.

His voice was just too alluring. Oh my God...

Tuan Tuan gave Jiang Siming a Chicken Dinner account with a rating of 2,100.

A rating of 2,000 was already fairly high. Most of the people matched into those games couldn't all be called experts, but they definitely knew how to play.

After logging into the account she had given him, he accepted Tuan Tuan's invitation.

Jiang Siming still had no idea who she was, nor did he know that she was streaming. Tuan Tuan used push-to-talk whenever she spoke to him, so he had no way of knowing.

They clicked to start the game at the same time.

"Ho ho! The Chicken Dinner journey officially begins! New friends who just entered the stream might not know, so I'll introduce things again. The person playing duos with me is a handsome gaming companion Tuan Tuan found on Bixin. His voice is incredibly nice. Female fans, get ready to scream, and male fans, go feel ashamed of yourselves! Hahaha!"

"It's over. Chen Sigou is crying!"

"Sigou knows you dumped him and is crying in his livestream!"

"Tuan Tuan, you made our Sigou cry. You have to take responsibility!"

"Of all things, you had to look for a gaming companion? People like this, who rely on their voices to show off while being ugly as sin in real life, are completely useless!"
