Seven Regrets 57

I smirked. 

Skill was the best way to silence doubters. 

My second, third, and subsequent battles were all over within three minutes. 

I crushed the competition. 

During the battles, I was reminded of the joy I’d felt while competing before. 

In just a few hours, my livestream gained 100,000 followers! 

The chat exploded: 

OMG, is this some pro’s alt account?* 

The Hall of Fame doesn’t allow alts; rankings affect the leaderboard!* 

I suggest the streamer change their name to “Sour Lemon” because you made us all jealous!* 

Andrew, watching the livestream, was speechless.“Jack, your apprentice is a beast! She wasn’t battling; she was Fishing in a newbie pond!” This was insane! 

ack watched my rapid ascent, a slight smile on his lips. “I told you she was talented!” His tone held a hint of pride. 

achieved a thirty–win streak, qualifying for the top 100! I paused, taking a drink of water. That was it for the night. The top 100 battles would begin tomorrow. 

My stream now had 150,000 viewers, and my follower count skyrocketed. I was surprised. I saw many people 

sking who I was and how I did it. 

spoke into my microphone. “I’m a newbie. I just love this game. Please follow me. Tomorrow at 7 pm, I’ll be online 

For the next round.” 

Andrew sent three rockets. 

I smiled. Thank you for the gifts. I’ll try my best tomorrow.” I went offline. 

breathed a sigh of relief. I’d been nervous. Last time, Chloe interacted a lot with her fans, I couldn’t be as charming, so I had to rely on skill. 

Andrew clapped, entering the study “Alice, you were amazing! You qualified so quickly!” 

I was embarrassed.“I wanted to qualify quickly to attract more followers. I need money,” 

“You gained so many followers. Shrimp Live will contact you soon. With your skills, teams will want to sign you!” 

I knew I’d received a message from Luke about signing. But I hadn’t replied. 

“I haven’t decided yet. I’ll focus on livestreaming first.” 

Andrew was insistent. Alice, how did you learn the twelve–hit combo?” 

I glanced at Jack; he’d asked the same question. Did he doubt me?

I replied, “I love King. I’m a big fan, so I practiced his moves secretly. I didn’t expect to succeed that day.” “You… like who?” Andrew subconsciously looked at Jack.“Dude, that’s not right! She said she likes you! You guys can’t be together!” 

I also looked at Jack. What was going on? 

Jack leaned against the desk. “It’s late. Don’t stay up too late; you won’t 

‘I’ll go then.” I was tired. 

grow tall!” 

[went to my room, washed up, and went to bed. Checking my phone, I saw Chloe’s post: [Thanks Luke for boosting me to #1! Over 100,000 followers!] 

I remembered my account being stolen last time. I deleted Chloe’s post. Finally free from the Welchs. 

But I received a video from the class monitor: [Alice, is this you? The voice sounds familiar.] It was my livestream. hadn’t shown my face, only my hands and keyboard; I didn’t want my family finding out before I became 

uccessful. 

replied:[Maybe.] I didn’t confirm it was me. I fell asleep. 

in the next room, Jack glared at Andrew.“If you have nothing to say, don’t say it.” 

I was curious! She said she likes you!” 

ack looked uncomfortable.“There are many kinds of ‘liking.“” Not just romantic. 

Andrew excitedly said, “I’ve had someone edit Alice’s livestream. It’ll be trending. She’ll be a gaming star this 

summer!” 

ack saw the video; my performance was excellent. 

The video went viral. Many were guessing who “Sweet Lemon” was. 

Luke, owner of Green Fruit Live, saw the news. “She gained 100,000 followers in one night?” 

Yes, boss. You wanted to sign ‘Sweet Lemon.‘ We think it’s the same person. The game name, character, and class 

match 

It is her.” Luke had wanted to sign “Sweet Lemon‘ for a while. She’d started livestreaming on Shrimp Live–his rival’s platform! 

Luke logged in, but she was offline. She hadn’t replied to his message. He only glanced at the beginning of the 

video 

“Get her to Green Fruit Live, no matter what! Many will try to sign her. Contact her. He couldn’t let Shrimp Live get her 

Chloe entered his office with a food container. “Luke, who are you trying to sign this time?” 

“The Gunner I mentioned. She’s on Shrimp Live, gaining 100,000 followers a night! She’d be perfect for Landing 

Team!” 

Chloe looked embarrassed; she’d only just reached 100,000 followers. Someone gained that many in one night? 

Luke noticed. “Chloe, you’re doing great! Keep working. I’ll get you a newcomer award at the Net Idol Festival.”

“Thank you, Luke. I’m grateful. I made you a snack. Eat something, or you’ll get a stomach ache like Noah.” 

“Chloe’s so considerate, unlike some people.” Luke’s mood soured thinking about me.

Chloe felt a surge of satisfaction. She might not be a 100,000–follower streamer, but she was better than me. She searched for “Sweet Lemon“‘s livestream. Hearing the voice, her mind went blank. That voice… was mine!
