Wolf Brother's Massive Tip

Before he knew it, he had spent the entire noon reading, and Chen Zhao had just finished the entire Math 63 book.

He had encountered about seven or eight problems he couldn't solve along the way, but as soon as he looked at the answers, he understood them instantly. If he encountered them again, he would surely be able to solve them.

Chen Zhao put the book back on the shelf and patted his backside as he headed to school. He planned to borrow two more 63 books from his classmates in the classroom that afternoon.

What? Buy one at a bookstore?

That's impossible!

Poverty! No money!

Getting things for free is the greatest joy of all!

Chen Zhao was reasonably popular in class, so borrowing a workbook wasn't difficult. He quickly borrowed a Physics 63 and began reading it while hunched over his desk.

His deskmate, Xu Lanlan, noticed Chen Zhao's diligence and felt a bit spooked:

"Zhao, why have you been studying like you're on stimulants these past two days? Have you gone mad? There's a path to heaven you refuse to take, yet you choose to row a boat through the endless sea of learning?"

Hearing Xu Lanlan's sarcasm, Chen Zhao sighed softly.

How could a sparrow understand the ambitions of a swan!

How could a slacker like you understand the joy of learning?

"I have a new goal," Chen Zhao replied with a determined gaze. "In the weekly exam the day after tomorrow, I'm going to surpass Ma Jianjun. I'm going to be the top student in the entire school!"

Xu Lanlan burst into laughter.

"You're ugly, and your heart is just as ugly; your imagination is quite something," Xu Lanlan said, covering her mouth as she giggled. "If you could rank first in the school, it must mean our school got hit by a nuclear bomb, leaving only you as the sole survivor who skipped class."

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes at his sharp-tongued deskmate, too disdainful to argue, and continued to roam the sea of knowledge.

Ranking first in the school wasn't that difficult; who was she looking down on?

I'll show you when I take the exam the day after tomorrow!

Provoked by his deskmate, Chen Zhao's drive to study increased even further. He studied in one breath until the evening self-study session ended and then headed home. By this time, he had already devoured the Physics, Chinese, and Chemistry 63 workbooks. If things went smoothly, one more day tomorrow would be enough to finish the 63 books for all subjects.

He had originally planned to finish all the subjects today, but it would have to be delayed by another day.

The progress was a bit slow, but as long as he finished before the weekly exam, it would be fine.

If other students knew what Chen Zhao was thinking, they would surely be so angry they'd vomit blood!

A single 63 workbook was dozens of pages thick; a normal student would need several weeks to finish one, and here he was, finishing them all in two days, yet still thinking it was slow?!

Returning home, Chen Zhao was nearly starving. As usual, he cooked a pack of instant noodles, added a pack of frozen meatballs, and wolfed them down with an ice-cold cola.

He turned on his computer, ready to go online.

Studying is studying, but he couldn't abandon making money through streaming.

He had received so many reports yesterday; he wondered if there was any result yet?

Meanwhile, the gaming streamer "Wolf Brother" was live on the Fighting Panda Live platform.

On the screen, the game had reached the final circle.

Wearing a ghillie suit and holding an M249, Wolf Brother lay prone in the grass, cautiously watching the wilderness ahead.

"There's only one enemy left, he should be right behind that tree in front," Wolf Brother explained to the viewers in his stream. "Let's play it safe; playing it safe is the key to victory!"

Suddenly, without any warning, the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" screen appeared!

Wolf Brother was stunned, then broke into a smile. "Looks like the last enemy was hiding in the blue zone and couldn't out-heal the damage, so he died to the poison."

"Wolf Brother wins without shedding a drop of blood! Let's end tonight's stream here!"

Wolf Brother exited the match interface, only to suddenly notice he had a new message.

He clicked it open and saw it was a message from the game developer, Bluehole:

"After investigation, the player Chen Zhao, whom you reported at 23:55 last night, did not engage in any cheating behavior. Thank you for your supervision in maintaining the platform's ecosystem."

Wolf Brother froze. He blinked and read it several times before he was certain the investigation result was that Chen Zhao wasn't hacking.

Not hacking?

With such fast instant-sniping and headshots every single time, he wasn't hacking?

Wolf Brother's subconscious reaction was that the investigation was wrong, but then he thought about it—the game developer's data was extremely detailed and precise. Bluehole had always been ruthless in cracking down on hacks. While it was possible for someone not hacking to be wrongly banned, it was absolutely impossible for someone who was hacking to not be banned.

Therefore, this streamer, Chen Zhao, must truly not have been hacking.

As for why his marksmanship was so good, perhaps it was a professional player using a smurf account to play in public matches. Wolf Brother had rubbed shoulders with domestic pro players, and to his knowledge, there was no such person. It was highly likely a European or American pro player who had chosen a Chinese name and just happened to run into him. While the probability was low, it wasn't impossible.

Regardless, Wolf Brother realized he had wronged an innocent person.

"Everyone should be able to see this message on my computer screen. The streamer Chen Zhao, whom I reported last night for hacking, has been cleared of cheating."

"It seems I was too hasty. I don't know if Streamer Chen watches my stream, but I would like to offer a verbal apology here. I am very sorry; I was too reckless. Tomorrow, I will draft a written apology and post it on my personal homepage, pinned for a week."

After speaking, Wolf Brother searched for Chen Zhao's stream online, confirmed it was the same Chen Zhao he had encountered last night, clicked in, and opened the tipping interface.

In one go, he tipped five "Heart of the Universe" gifts.

On the gift price list of the Fighting Panda Live platform, the Heart of the Universe sat at the very top as the most expensive gift. It was worth 18,888 Panda Coin, which translated to 1,888 yuan in real currency!

Wolf Brother tipped five Heart of the Universe gifts all at once, which amounted to 9,440 yuan!

"I don't really know Anchor Chen, but the Heart of the Universe represents my heart; consider it an apology. That's all for today's stream, Wolf Brother is going to bed now. Goodnight, everyone!"

As he said this, Wolf Brother closed the livestream room.

(Ah, sorry, I was delayed by something, the update is a bit late.)
