Chapter 405, Second to Last Round
【大探险家 赠送 小樱桃 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4……x8x9x10！
"Thank you to my ten lovers, Adventurer Bro!"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the scores of the other streamers: "Their ranking is terrifying."
I learned it from the streamer.
[Yeah, Lonely Island Bro went first.]
[I learned this from the streamer and Lonely Island Bro]
If the first three streamers have already done so much, and the later streamers can't keep up in the first round, then they're basically giving up.
[Looks like all the streamers in this game are really good at it.]
[Absolutely! And the rewards are quite generous. Streamers will definitely be more motivated than usual when competing, and those with real skill will definitely want to compete. Why not take the rewards?]
[The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of 150,000 RMB, which will be directly deposited into the streamer's account!]
Zhang Xiaoyu: "When are we going to play?"
[Two isolated islands: LOL, what were you looking at while you were reading the rules, streamer?]
Zhang Xiaoyu: "The boss didn't highlight the important parts in red. It was actually very simple to type, but for some reason there were so many words, densely packed like ants. I just skimmed through them."
[Xiaotong: The money was deposited into my account within three days after the match ended!]
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Thank you, Xiaotong, it was pretty fast."
[Free Wind: I'm just worried that after this ends, the host will have to constantly check her bank SMS messages.]
【Hahahahaha】
[Then let the boss send it out sooner, so we don't have to keep worrying about it.]
【Hahaha】
【暖暖丸子 赠送 梁少爷 迪士尼乐园*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4……x8x9x10！
Young Master Liang: "Thank you so much, my dear sister Nuannuan, for the ten Disneyland theme parks!"
【P卡丘 赠送 萱萱 守护天使*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4……x8x9x10！
[Okay, okay. Gift to Xuanxuan: Heartbeat Lover *1] (5000 Star Stones) x2 x3!
Xuanxuan: "Thank you to my brother Pikachu for his ten angels~ and also to my brother for his three lovers~"
Zhang Xiaoyu checked and found that Yi Ze had over 70 points, followed by Xuanxuan and Liu Qingdai, both with over 60 points, and the remaining three streamers, including herself, all had over 50 points.
【自由的风 赠送 小鱼长大啦 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5！
【笔墨纸砚 赠送 小鱼长大啦 守护天使*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5！
Zhang Xiaoyu made a heart shape with her hands: "Thank you, Feng Huang and Zhiyan Ge, for being my lover and angel~"
【唯依 赠送 一泽 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5x6！
Yize: "Thank you to my only princess's six heart-fluttering lovers!"
Both he and Xiaoyu had over a million points, and his family's individual votes were even 10,000 more than Xiaoyu's. However, Yize didn't care about this. The real deciding factor was always the votes from the top-ranking members; individual votes didn't play a significant role.
Young Master Liang, who was left behind, clearly still wanted to give it his all: "Everyone in our family with tickets, let's go for it this round! Who knows, we might even advance! Family, let's give it our all!"
【暖暖丸子 赠送 梁少爷 迪士尼乐园*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5x6x7x8！
Young Master Liang: "Thank you so much, Sister Nuannuan, for another eight Disneyland trips! Everyone else with tickets, please go too! Don't let Sister Nuannuan fight this battle alone!"
His words were quite encouraging; people threw out their small tickets, and the price rose by almost 10,000 points.
Little Cherry panicked when she saw that she was now at the bottom of the list: "Brothers, our family is falling behind! We have to catch up!"
【大探险家 赠送 小樱桃 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5！
Little Cherry: "Thank you to my adventurer brother's five heart-fluttering lovers~"
However, she was clearly still not relaxed, as several other people had scores that were quite close to hers.
The current scores of the six players:
Yize 104.3+w.
Little Fish 103.5+w.
Young Master Liang has 91.4+w.
Little Cherry 76.1+w.
Xuanxuan is 65.9+w.
Liu Qingdai, 60.8+w.
Liu Qingdai's expression didn't change much. In fact, she felt that her family had already used up most of their strength by the time they got this far. How many more points they could score depended entirely on how much support her eldest brother could provide.
【亘古长青 赠送 柳青黛 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4……x8x9x10!
Liu Qingdai was a little excited: "Thank you, Brother Changqing, for your ten heart-fluttering lovers!"
As soon as her score changed, the rankings of the other streamers all dropped by one place.
It was like adding a drop of water to a pot of hot oil, causing it to explode instantly. Other streamers were not to be outdone and started ranking up as well.
【暖暖丸子 赠送 梁少爷 迪士尼乐园*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5！
Young Master Liang: "Thank you, my sister Nuannuan, for the five Disneyland parks!"
He glanced at the other streamers' actions; he was still at a disadvantage. But who wouldn't want to advance? If he could make it to the final round, it would prove his team was among the top six in the guild, and the sense of pride that came with that ranking was quite appealing. More importantly, advancing also meant he'd earn more.
Little Cherry nervously glanced at the other streamers' movements. She was currently second to last in score, but Xuanxuan was in last place. Xuanxuan's team definitely hadn't exerted their full strength yet, so she was in a very dangerous situation.
Just by looking at these two rounds of competition, she could roughly guess that she wouldn't be able to secure a top-three finish and advance, but she didn't want to come in last place either.
【大探险家 赠送 小樱桃 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5！
Little Cherry excitedly thanked him, "Thank you, my adventurer brother, for your five heart-fluttering lovers!"
Zhang Xiaoyu would only glance at the scores of other streamers from time to time and find that their scores changed frequently, so much so that she soon fell behind again.
[Two isolated islands: I'm not worried even though the streamer has fallen out of the top three]
[I'm a good cat at catching mice: She's still looking around, watching the show.]
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "I'm observing the enemy situation, and since you're all here, I don't feel the need to rush."
[Fish, you're destined to be together: With us as your support, don't you feel very secure?]
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, so I'm not in a hurry."
[Only a few taels of silver: There's really no need to rush. Let's see who the other two advance besides the streamer will be.]
[Free Wind: The top three are Liang, Liu, and Yize, but the families of the first two are not as strong as Yize's, so Yize will definitely advance.]
[User: Xuanxuan's adventurer brother is also quite good; he gifted her over a hundred items last month]
[I'm a good cat who catches mice: Wow, so many! You must have prepared a pretty thick backpack for this round.]
【牛牛牛】
These streamers are pretty good; they've already sent ten gifts halfway through the time.
[You know, normally there aren't even ten or more streamers with this much daily revenue. Today's guild competition is really well-prepared.]
Otherwise, why would Chenguang hold this kind of competition and offer such generous rewards? It's because they can earn more money!
Anyway, the bosses are the shrewdest.
[Look! Xuanxuan's house is on the list too!]
Xuanxuan's goal is to get into the top three and advance to the final round. She doesn't care about winning this round, so she sets her sights on Young Master Liang.
【P卡丘 赠送 萱萱 守护天使*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4……x8x9x10！
[Okay, okay. Gift to Xuanxuan: Heartbeat Lover *1] (5000 Star Stones) x2 x3!
Xuanxuan happily said, "Thank you for ten more angels from my brother Pikachu! Thank you for knowing my brother's three more lovers!"
She currently has 131.1+w points, ranking first.
【k 赠送 小鱼长大啦 守护天使*1】（5000星石）x2x3x4x5x6！
Zhang Xiaoyu discovered that her score had just surpassed Xuanxuan's by a little, at 133.9+w. Even when the "big brother" wasn't ranking up, fans in the live stream would occasionally send her small gifts.
"Thank you, King's angel~"
[k: I randomly selected a few gifts, but stopped when I saw you had the highest score.]
[Fish You Are Destined: It's okay, it just saves some bullets for later]
[Haha, this is the best joke I've ever heard. King needs to conserve his bullets.]
[There's no shortage of bullets at all; the guy must have brought his backpack full to the match.]
"What's this? It's just a small internal competition within Chenguang. That's it? They can't possibly defeat us! We have eight big shots here, all ready to go!"
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It would be great if we could make it into the top three."
Xuanxuan didn't react much when she saw her ranking drop by one place. She only needed to be in the top three. Now it was up to the other streamers to see if they still wanted to compete.
Little Cherry looked expectantly into the live stream: "We're so close to third place! Let's give it our all!"
Then her gaze suddenly became incredibly excited, and she suddenly screamed.
Other streamers quickly found out the reason because they saw the notification floating on the screen.
[The Great Explorer has activated the Super Emperor rank in Little Cherry's live stream] (Star Stone)
"Thank you so much, my adventure bro, for making me a Super Emperor! Thank you so much, my adventure bro! I'm so excited! I never expected you to suddenly make me a Super Emperor!!!"
Little Cherry covered her mouth, her face flushed with excitement, and she looked radiant.
The opponent's score also surged by 60 points, reaching a high score of 136.2+.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise: "Wow~ that's amazing, she's a super emperor."
This means the other party has at least 12 yuan in their backpack.
[Free Wind: You have one too?]
[Two isolated islands: Yes, both]
[Fish, you are destined: Little fish, don't envy others, you are the one to be envied]
[Exactly! Anyone who sees a streamer's livestream will be blinded by the blazing lights.]
There's absolutely no need to care about those few super emperors from other places.
[Haha, the streamer is the best!]
[k: That's really amazing, I've never seen so many Super Emperors in any other live stream]
Haha, look at this, even our King is shocked!
[Which livestreaming platform is the best? Xiaoyu's is definitely the strongest!]
[Only a few taels of silver: It's a pity that the Super Emperor account can only be activated once]
[Two Isolated Islands: Yeah, that's not good. Otherwise, every time another streamer activates the Super Emperor status, we can give them another chance to perform.]
[Free Wind: Urge the platform to quickly release a feature that allows players to repeatedly unlock the Super Emperor account]
[I'm a good cat that catches mice: In the future, it won't be about how many "Super Emperors" a streamer has, but rather how many "Emperors" are added after "Big Brother"]
[Queen Arrives: Haha, given how much Big Brother loves fish, there must be so many that it'll make your eyes blurry from counting them!]
[Haha, that's hilarious!]
We definitely need to urge the platform developers immediately; I must see this in my lifetime.
[This is hilarious! Such a vivid imagination!]
Zhang Xiaoyu thought it was unlikely, but she laughed along with everyone else: "I still remember how excited my older brother was when he drove me the Super Emperor. I was just as excited as Xiaoying back then."
Liu Qingdai: "They suddenly became the Super Emperor! That's amazing!"
Yize felt the pressure: "This is so sudden. Everyone is really strong."
Young Master Liang: "You're quite the hidden talent."
Xuanxuan: "I'm trembling with fear. Is my third place going to be lost?"
She is indeed under a lot of pressure. Yi Ze's family will definitely continue to climb the ranks. I wonder if another super emperor will pop up in the families of other streamers.
Zhang Xiaoyu felt that her second place was also teetering on the brink, and could only stare wide-eyed at the movements of the other streamers.
[Yize's family will definitely climb the ranks again]
[But I really didn't expect a super emperor to pop out of Little Cherry's family. This isn't even a championship game, they're going all out!]
I'm kind of looking forward to it.
Just as many viewers predicted, Yize's team continued to climb the ranks.
【唯依 赠送 一泽 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3……x7x8！
"Thank you, my beloved Princess Weiyi!"
[Okay, okay. Gift to Xuanxuan: Heartbeat Lover *1] (5000 Star Stones)
"Thank you for letting me know who my crush is~"
The two climbed the ranks quickly. Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at her score and instantly became nervous—she had fallen out of the top three!
【只有碎银几两 赠送 小鱼长大啦 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x2x3……x8x9x10！
The countdown began: 10 seconds, 9 seconds, ...
[Pikachu gift: Xuanxuan Guardian Angel *1] (5000 Star Stones) x2 x3 x...
[Wei Yi presents Yi Ze with a Heart-Fluttering Lover*1] (5000 Star Stones) x2 x3...
Zhang Xiaoyu felt dizzy. Yi Ze and Xuan Xuan's scores kept fluctuating and chasing, and it seemed that the gap between them and her was getting smaller and smaller. Oh right, there was also Xiao Yingtao. Although her ranking had dropped to fourth, her family had a newly minted Super Emperor. Nobody knew if her Super Emperor would eventually climb the ranks.
Feeling that anything was possible, Zhang Xiaoyu simply stopped thinking about the various possibilities and just waited patiently for the final time to pass before seeing the result.
5s, 4s, ...
【P卡丘 赠送 萱萱 守护天使*1】（5000星石）x8x9x10！
【唯依 赠送 一泽 心动恋人*1】（5000星石）x8x9x10！
Zhang Xiaoyu felt that in the blink of an eye, Xuanxuan and Yize had both surpassed her score. She held her breath, and then in the blink of an eye again.
[Only a few taels of silver are given as a gift: Little Fish Has Grown Up - Love Letters *9999] (Star Stone)
[Only a few taels of silver are given as a gift: 9999 Love Letters for the Little Fish That Has Grown Up!] x2!
[The Great Explorer presents 9999 Little Cherry Love Letters] (Star Stone)
[Great Explorer presents Little Cherry's Love Letters*9999] x2!
The others were stunned for a moment, but one of the older brothers reacted incredibly quickly.
[User gifted 9999 Heartfelt Love Letters to Little Fish Who's Grown Up] (Star Stone)
[User gifted 9999 Heartfelt Love Letters from Little Fish Growing Up] x2!
Liu Qingdai shouted, "Love Letters! They've been featured on 9999 Love Letters!"
Young Master Liang's eyes widened: "Holy crap!"
Yize and Xuanxuan finally noticed, and their hearts were in their throats!
"Love letters! 9999 love letters!"
"We have to go too!"
[Wei Yi presents Yi Ze with 9999 romantic love letters] (Star Stone)
[Wei Yi presents Yi Ze with 9999 romantic love letters] x2!
