021. Two Women at War!

"Wow, Brother Ming, how do you always land so fast when parachuting? Teach me, pretty please~"

Dumb Sister envied Jiang Siming's parachuting skill, and it wasn't just her—the viewers in her live stream room all wanted to learn too.

"God Ming, teach us! We've already given you the Old Woman~"

"Yeah, God Ming, please give us some tips. I really can't figure out this new parachute technique."

"Today's update ruined my proud parachute skills. Crying!"

"Old Woman, hurry up and ask Your Man to teach us. We're waiting."

"One Pair A, Your Husband is so good. Have him share a couple of moves!"

Seeing the bullet comments calling her 'Your Man' and 'Your Husband' one after another, Dumb Sister's face flushed bright red, but she was secretly pleased.

"Brother Ming, my fans are all begging you to teach them too. Just give them a little guidance~"

For the sake of those two fans who knew how to talk, Dumb Sister spoke up for them out of loyalty!

Hearing this, Jiang Siming didn't hold back and generously taught them his parachuting technique.

He wasn't afraid of anyone stealing it either, because knowing it didn't mean you could pull it off.

It involved factors like the game's gravity, landing speed, parachute control, and more—none of which could be off by even a bit.

The difficulty was no less than solving a PhD-level math problem. An ordinary person learning it might shave off a second at most, while a top-tier player could manage two seconds, tops.

But the audience had no idea how hard it was. Hearing Jiang Siming teach it all openly, they thanked him for his generosity while scrambling to jot down notes.

"Duke [Angel's Wings] tipped Dumb Sister's live stream room Super Rocket x1!"

Angel's Wings: This rocket isn't for you—it's for God Ming!

"Duke [Brook] tipped Dumb Sister's live stream room Rocket x2!"

Brook: Seconding the Duke +1, just to thank God Ming for his generous teaching!

A whole string of them—over a dozen fans in the live stream room—were sending gifts: supercars, rockets, planes, or smaller ones like membership cards.

The total value came to around seven or eight thousand in cash.

Dumb Sister immediately smiled and reported to Jiang Siming: "Brother Ming, a lot of people sent you gifts for being so generous with your teaching. They specifically said it's for you. I'll transfer the gift money to you later."

Jiang Siming was a bit surprised but smiled and politely declined: "No need for that. If I ever start streaming, just come by and show some support, say a few words."

"Oh~ Brother Ming, are you going to start streaming too?" Dumb Sister was thrilled. That would make them colleagues, and they'd have even more to talk about.

"Just thinking about it. Nothing's set yet," Jiang Siming replied.

Seeing how Dumb Sister had raked in thousands in gifts in just that short time, the profit from streaming was obvious. Jiang Siming naturally wanted in.

"Alright, when you go live, I'll bring all my fans to cheer you on!" Dumb Sister promised.

"Heh, aren't you afraid we'll all defect to God Ming's side?"

"When God Ming starts streaming, I'm heading over there~"

"With God Ming's current popularity, as long as he goes live on Shark, he'll blow up instantly!"

"Pre-ordering one rocket in advance!"

Dumb Sister gave a proud smirk and said, "I don't care at all. If you all support Brother Ming, I'd be more than happy."

Her best friend Erqian, watching the stream from the side, slapped her forehead. This silly woman had sold herself out way too fast. She was falling way too quickly.

As they chatted and laughed, Jiang Siming ran to a sea boat and picked up a red fragment hidden in a corner at the stern.

"Picked up Singing Talent*1 (2/5). Fragment count insufficient. Cannot use yet."

Another Singing Talent fragment. Useless for now, but better than nothing. Maybe it'd come in handy someday.

Putting the fragment away, Jiang Siming started searching for gear.

With his Map Mastery, even on the new snow map, he knew the terrain and equipment spawns like the back of his hand.

He quickly found a few rich spots and looted a full set of top-tier gear.

The snow map even had Level 3 Helmets to pick up, unlike other maps where they only dropped in airdrops.

Jiang Siming and Dumb Sister each got a Level 3 Helmet. Suppressed 98k, fully kitted M4—they had it all. Their gear was disgustingly good.

If she'd gotten gear like this normally, Dumb Sister would have played it ultra-safe, jumping at every shadow, terrified of getting killed and losing her loot.

But with Jiang Siming by her side, she played with total abandon.

She just followed him, gun holstered, hopping and skipping, even taking time to study the footprints they left in the snow to 'analyze' their shoe sizes.

The audience joked that God Ming was babysitting an idiot while gaming.

Just then, a very familiar Shark ID entered Dumb Sister's live stream room.

"No way! Tuan Tuan's here!"

"No way! Tuan Tuan just came into Dumb Sister's Live Stream Room!"

"Why ditch your own stream to come over here?"

"Oh no, is Tuan Tuan here to catch a cheater?"

"The year's biggest catfight is about to go down—Shark's top two streamers tearing each other apart over a man!"

Tuan Tuan's entry sent the Bullet Comments spiraling off-topic.

But the viewers' hoped-for showdown never came. Instead of "calling her to account," Tuan Tuan smiled and greeted everyone with a bullet comment.

Then she dropped ten Super Rockets in Dumb Sister's Live Stream Room.

Dumb Sister naturally saw this, and her heart tightened a little.

Still, she smiled and thanked Tuan Tuan.

"Thanks for the ten Super Rockets, Tuan Tuan. Are these for Brother Ming too? Don't worry, I'll WeChat transfer your gift money to Brother Ming later."

Dumb Sister's words carried a hint of territorial claim, subtly flaunting that she had Jiang Siming on WeChat.

The audience ate it up, as if they could already see the two women locked in a palace intrigue drama.

Some viewers even grabbed snacks and pulled up chairs, ready to binge-watch this soap opera.

But Tuan Tuan didn't take the bait. Instead, she replied:

"No need, I have Little Ming Bro's WeChat too. I've wanted to transfer him compensation for a while, but he wouldn't take it. These rockets are for you."

Ooh!

Even better!

Tuan Tuan's reply was just as loaded—I have Little Ming Bro's WeChat too, so don't bother showing off.

This gift is for you. You can't hit a smiling face, so there's nothing you can do to me.

"Thanks so much! I watch your streams in my free time too—they're really fun. How about we duo sometime?"

Dumb Sister deflected with a soft counter, accepting the gift while guarding her ground.

But Tuan Tuan struck back harder.

"Sure! I'm free right now! Can you invite me after this round? I want to play with Little Ming Bro too."

This...

Dumb Sister was stunned. She hadn't expected her "rival" to be so aggressive.

The viewers were in stitches.

"This is gold, hahaha—a hundred times better than those palace dramas!"

"I can't stop laughing. Two top streamers going at it, every move a killer blow~"

"Old Woman, don't agree! She's here to steal Your Man!"

"Tuan Tuan and Dumb Sister are actually fighting—this is awesome!"

"What kind of luck does Ming have? Two top streamers both into him?"
