It did not take long for Ace to find Mandy's account on TikTok.
Joanna's beautiful and delicate face popped up on the small phone screen.
The screen may be small, but the power of its destruction was immeasurable, like an atomic bomb.
Ace froze. His deep, wolf-like eyes locked onto the screen and his grip on the phone involuntarily tightened.
"Good evening, my babies! Welcome to Cutie Pie's live stream! As you all know, the popular dating show "Heart Signal" is currently looking for non celebrity guests. I secretly signed up for it. The organizer's condition is, whoever receives the most donation tonight will be eligible to participate in the program. Therefore, I hope you guys can support me, Cutie Pie, and help me debut in the entertainment industry!"
Wearing a pink dress and a cat ears headband, Mandy made all kinds of cute moves towards the camera and worked hard to get donations.
The dating show "Heart Signal" was very popular lately. Anyone who could show their face on it would be able to make the step up from an influencer to a celebrity.
Mandy had always wanted to enter the entertainment industry, so she naturally cherished this opportunity. She even dragged Joanna onto her channel to help her gain popularity.
"Let me introduce tonight's special guest. She's the sexy goddess who dominated the trending topic today, known as the "Male Killer". She's none other than my cousin, Joanna!"
Mandy playfully shook her hands and passionately introduced Joanna to the audience.
"Hi guys! I'm your new friend, Joan. Please support my cousin, Cutie Pie! Love you guys!"
Joanna endured the embarrassment and posed like a proper girl streamer the way Mandy had discussed with her beforehand. Her eyes curled as she smiled. She made a "heart" gesture with her hands.
That almost made her throw up. It was definitely the most pretentious thing she had ever done in her life!
But the effect was surprisingly good. Chat and donation messages filled up the screen.
"Aaah, my goddess, I love you!"
"As expected of a goddess, she can be cool, she can be sweet, and she can be cute too. I'm dead."
"Step on me, goddess!"
"Goddess, please have my baby!"
Mandy's eyes widened. Her face lit up with the various bright colors that scrolled past the phone screen. The donation messages never stopped. One could imagine how much donation she was getting.
'Thank you for the 1500 Bits donation!"
'Thank you for the 5000 Bits donation!"
'Thank you for the 10000 Bits donation!"
More and more viewers tuned in to the live stream. The number of viewers gradually increased from 10 million to 30 million.
It was a spectacle Mandy had never seen before. It made her voice tremble with nerves. After all, even when she streamed during peak hours, her viewership number never exceeded 100,000 before! novel bin
Seeing that she had succeeded in attracting viewers to the channel, Joanna stepped aside and handed over the limelight to Mandy.
But as soon as she did, the viewership number dropped, and the frequency of donation dropped too.
That made Mandy anxious. She quickly said to the screen, "Oh, my babies, don't leave. Everybody stay calm. Joanna just left to get a glass of water. She'll be back with a surprise later!"
Her words did retain some of the viewers, but a lot of them still left.
"Let me ask you guys a question. What do you guys think of my cousin? She has a different side to what you saw in the viral video, right? Do you prefer the cool and sexy Joanna or the sweet and gentle Joanna?"
The question sparked a discussion among the viewers. Lots of people left messages in the chat.
"I like both. I love everything about the goddess. Even if I see her pick her nose, I would love the way she picks her nose!"
"The goddess is pretty no matter what she does. Bring her back!"
"Goddesses should only exist in paradise, yet one has appeared in our mortal realm. I love her so much."
Amidst the enthusiastic praises, a disharmonious message suddenly appeared.
"Pretentious woman."
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the message immediately sparked a thousand ripples. People in the chat lashed out at the sender.
"Why don't you stream, then? Let's see how unpretentious you are."
"Are you blind? You call that pretentious? She's all natural!"
"The message was sent anonymously. The sender must be a lewd man who covets the goddess. Get out of the stream!"
"Kick the lewd man off the stream! Kick the lewd man off the stream!"
When Mandy saw the chat arguing, she quickly tried to calm everyone down.
"Stop arguing, everyone. Also, can the viewer called Anon12538 please stop it with the baseless accusation? My cousin Joanna is a very sincere person. How is she pretentious?"
Unfortunately, the viewer with the anonymous ID of Anonl2538 was a brave soul. Despite the public backlash, he kept typing: "She's clearly pretentious!"
Joanna, who was watching from the side, immediately noticed this Anonl 2538 who bravely went against the flow.
Mandy was a bit anxious because the contest was heading down the home stretch now. It was now the final half an hour.
Although she had rocketed up the ranking thanks to Joanna's appearance earlier, she was only in 3rd place right now, just a hair off 1st place, because her fan base was not as big as the really famous influencers who had tens of millions of fans.
So, with a determined heart, she dragged Joanna back onto the stream.
"My babies, since you all like my cousin so much, I'll give you guys a special present. The person who pushes me to the top of the ranking will get the chance to have dinner with Joanna. This is a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity! Don't miss it!"
As soon as she said that, the chat went crazy. The donations started coming in in a frenzy again.
Joanna did not expect Mandy to do that, but she could understand why Mandy did it.
Young people were all competitive.
If a meal could help Mandy participate in the dating show, Joanna did not mind.
"Do you want to have dinner with me? If you do, work hard!"
Joanna raised her fists and said cutely. Since she was already helping Mandy anyway, she decided to go all the way.
It was like adding fuel to fire. The chat went crazy!
However, amidst the boiling-hot atmosphere, Anonl 2358 struck again:" Shameless."
"Anonl2358, if you don't like it, just leave the stream, or I'll ban you. Joanna has lots of supporters, so one fewer wouldn't make a difference."
Mandy was also Joanna's diehard fan, so she could not tolerate any negative comment about her.
She was about to lay down the banhammer but suddenly, she froze.
Anon12358, who everyone in the chat called a lewd man, had just made a donation worth 150,000 dollars, sending Mandy straight to the top of the ranking.
"Th-Thank you Anonl 2358 for the donation. Thank you, daddy!" Mandy gulped hard. She felt her knees go weak.
