83: Chapter 83 To Tell or Not to Tell?

"Will you say it or not?"

"Wuu-wuu..."

"Are you going to say it or not?"

"Mmm-hmm..."

Duorou: "I won't dare anymore. I'll never dare again."

After Rou Rou finished sending the message to Zhang Shan, she held her phone, waiting for his reply.

This wait lasted for over half an hour.

At this time, the three-person PK in the Livestream Room had already ended.

After the Cute Girl Group went on stage collectively to dance for half an hour, they started their daily PK segment.

The Cute Girl Group's daily PK was a bit different from other groups; there was no elimination, only ranking.

They didn't need the streamers to use microphones to solicit votes; instead, it was changed to a 3-minute talent showcase segment.

Each person took turns going on stage for a 3-minute talent showcase, featuring Showmanship Dance, solo dances, long dances, finished dances, and so on.

During the talent showcase, fans could send gifts to the streamers at any time to increase their stakes.

After five rounds of talent showcases, each person was given 2 minutes of thank-you time, and then they were ranked according to the member leaderboard.

Finally, after awarding and celebrating the streamer who took first place and won the daily championship, the day's livestream was considered over.

Host Kam: "OK, what's coming up next is the final Crown Battle. Come on, give the crown a close-up shot.

He who wears the crown must bear its weight. Let's wait and see which of the girls on stage will be able to wear this crown of symbolic glory.

Alright, enough chatter. The first one to go on stage is our Dian Dian. Three minutes of talent showcase time. Come on, let's welcome Dian Dian. The other girls can go off stage and rest for a bit.

I need to remind all the brothers and sisters that you can increase your stakes at any time during the talent showcase."

After Rou Rou went off stage, she immediately picked up her phone to check it, only to find that Brother Qingshan still hadn't replied to her.

Her mind couldn't help but start wandering.

What's wrong with Brother Qingshan? Is there something wrong with how I expressed myself?

Brother Qingshan is still hanging around in the Livestream Room, so why isn't he replying to my message? Could something have happened to him? Pui, pui, pui...

When Zhang Shan returned to the Livestream Room, he happened to catch their talent showcase segment.

After understanding the rules, Zhang Shan felt that this mode of the Cute Girl Group still had its merits.

Replacing the streamer vote-soliciting segment with a talent showcase meant that the loss of audience in the Livestream Room would be much lower.

It could maintain the heat of the Livestream Room to the maximum extent.

However, without the elimination-based vote-soliciting segment, there were no dramatic moments that stimulated vote-spamming.

Many votes that could either be cast or not would simply not be cast.

There was no jumping up and down to thank the big brothers, no excited, tear-filled faces, no... missing these scenes also meant missing a lot of passion.

Zhang Shan raised his hand and threw a rocket up.

Host Kam: "Wow! Thank you, my Emperor Shan, for sending a 'setting sail for love'. Thank you, my Emperor Shan, for adding to Rou Rou's stakes. Brothers and sisters, if you want to add to the stakes, you can do so at any time."

When Rou Rou saw the notification about Zhang Shan sending a gift, she immediately smiled.

Brother Qingshan had finally come back to life. He had to; if he stayed silent any longer, she might have started thinking about the 72 ways a person could die.

After Zhang Shan announced his return to life in the Livestream Room, he turned his head to look at Duorou, who was still in a dazed and trance-like state.

He reached out and patted her butt, saying, "Get up, go take a shower. We'll head out to browse the night market in a bit."

Having been patted by Zhang Shan, Duorou, who was still floating in the clouds, finally came back to her senses. She gave a lazy "Mmm," and only then did she regain control of her body.

This wave of whipping had almost scared her soul out of her body... She reached out to touch the wounds on her body that had swollen up a bit, and said with a wry smile, "I'm like this now, how can I go out?"

"Is it my fault? If you had confessed earlier, would you have had to suffer this beating?"

"I was wrong. This time, whatever you ask me, I'll say it. I beg you, please let me off, okay?"

Duorou grabbed Zhang Shan's arm and started acting coquettishly. To save her life, she had been stubborn to the death just a moment ago, but now she was even starting to use a cutesy voice.

Zhang Shan looked at Duorou with a wicked smile on his lips and said unhurriedly, "Do you know what this pleading look of yours looks like to me?"

"What?" Duorou shrank back a little.

"You aren't begging for mercy; it's more like you've blown the charge bugle for me."

"Ah, no, no, I didn't..." Duorou was so scared that she hurriedly waved her hands, denying it vehemently.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you." Zhang Shan held Duorou's hand and continued, "Go take a shower. I've ordered dinner. We'll just rest in the room for a while; we aren't going anywhere."

"Mmm."

Watching Duorou's back, Zhang Shan shook his head. With this level of combat power, she didn't even measure up to half of Miaomiao.

Zhang Shan turned his gaze back to the Livestream Room. When Rou Rou went on stage, Zhang Shan once again unleashed the power of a rocket rain.

[Congratulations to Qingshan for just reaching Lv69]

With another hundred-combo smashed down, Zhang Shan directly leveled up to 69.

Host Kam: "My god, thank you, my Emperor Shan... Congratulations to my Emperor Shan for ascending to a level 69 tycoon in the Livestream Room."

After Zhang Shan leveled up, the barrage was filled with congratulations. Emperor Shan's fans were even more inexplicably excited; they were all very hyped, as if they had leveled up themselves.

They had a premonition that perhaps in the near future, they would be able to witness Emperor Shan reaching the peak at level 75 and becoming a max-level emperor. When that time came, just thinking about it was exciting. A max-level emperor they watched grow up. It would definitely be very prestigious to talk about.

When Duorou came out of the shower, the hotel had already delivered dinner. A five-star chef was skillfully grilling various delicious seafood on the iron plate.

Zhang Shan picked up a grilled oyster, slurped it, and ate the oyster.

Duorou looked at the pile of empty shells on the dining table and asked, "Brother Shan, are grilled oysters that delicious?"

Zhang Shan, still wanting more, picked up another one and said with a smile, "Hehe, you don't understand. This thing is very nourishing."

After saying this, he slurped another oyster into his mouth, then said indistinctly, "These past two days have emptied out all my savings; I really need to replenish myself."

Duorou didn't hear clearly and asked with some confusion, "Brother Shan, what savings?"

Zhang Shan said with a suggestive tone, "I gave you several billion today; what do you think I mean by savings?"

Upon hearing this, Duorou immediately realized what he meant. She picked up a grilled oyster and shoved it into Zhang Shan's hand. Then she glanced at the chef, her cheeks instantly turning slightly red, and she said coquettishly, "Aiya, hurry up and eat more."

Zhang Shan smiled at her words and picked up a whole geoduck, placing it in Duorou's bowl. "Come on, you eat too. This thing has to be eaten whole to be satisfying. You first slurp the juice on top; it's all very nourishing, good stuff."

After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he didn't care about Duorou's expression and went on to pick up an abalone and slurped it. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this thing is made really fresh and delicious."

Duorou: Can you just eat your meal normally?

Duorou really wanted to grab Zhang Shan's ear and shout at him. But this was only her fantasy; she didn't dare to actually do it. If she angered Brother Shan, she would be the one to suffer.
