After Transmigrating As A Scummy Attention-Seeker Alpha, I Became a Global Sensation in the Entertainment Industry (GL) - Chapter 1

Chen Chi, a gaming influencer with tens of millions of followers, died at 3:00 AM while researching a game.

She had pulled all-nighters for a week straight. Her body couldn’t take it anymore, and at just 21 years old, she died suddenly in front of her computer.

“So… so painful…”

It felt as if her body had been crushed by a steamroller; her bones were weak and aching, and her head throbbed violently.

“I… I’m never staying up late again!”

【Ding-dong! This is the God-tier Idol System. The host has only 50,000 seconds left to live. If you don’t want to die, work hard to earn fans. One fan equals one second of life~】

A noisy electronic voice rang out and then faded into silence.

Chen Chi opened her eyes to the sight of blinding studio lights and a row of unfamiliar cosmetics. They smelled pungent—clearly cheap, low-quality stuff.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Holy crap, I thought the drama queen was dead. Guess she’s tougher than she looks!】

[Film Queen Xu’s Wife]: 【What a shame. If this drama queen doesn’t die, she’s just going to keep leaching off my Film Queen Xu’s popularity. So annoying!】

…

Chen Chi was utterly dazed. She looked up at the “Death Barbie Pink” phone held high on a stand; the scrolling comments were all insults directed at her—or rather, at the original owner of this body.

“What time is it? How did I fall asleep and end up in someone else’s house… even livestreaming for them…”

[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【Attention-Seeker Chen Chi, get off the internet!】

A wave of 【+1】 followed in the chat.

Chen Chi quickly realized she hadn’t just walked into the wrong room—she had transmigrated.

A headache of unprecedented intensity hit her. In an instant, she received the memories of the original host’s entire 21 years of life.

The original host was a “scummy Alpha.” A year ago, she managed to hook up with a popular Film Queen. Because their pheromone compatibility was over 95%, they naturally got married.

However, after the wedding, the original host’s deep-seated “Omega-phobia” (prejudice against Omegas) fully surfaced. She spent her days livestreaming using the Film Queen’s fame, but instead of doing it well, she spent her time badmouthing her wife.

Chen Chi was speechless. The original host had been dealt a winning hand and played it like garbage. She felt a twinge of pity for that “unlucky” Film Queen.

What kind of person does that? A total psycho!

As the comments became increasingly vile, Chen Chi moved to shut it down. But the second she saw herself in the mirror, she gasped. The garish, colorful makeup on her face was terrifying.

“Hiss~ My face hurts…”

Without even turning off the stream, she rushed to the bathroom sink to wash her face.

The makeup was exactly as she thought—cheap and irritating. Given the pain and the content of the stream, she decided then and there she would never wear this “Death Makeup” again.

She needed to pivot. She was going to tell the haters in the chat that she was becoming a gaming streamer. Gaming was the only thing she was actually good at.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Hey, hey, hey! She’s back. Whoa, she actually took off that hideous makeup!】

[Commenter]: 【I didn’t expect Attention-Seeker Chen Chi to look decent without makeup!】

[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【Hey upstairs, what are you saying? Is her face full of acne “decent”? Did she pay you?!】

The atmosphere in the room was hostile. Passersby didn’t dare provoke the horde of haters.

[Random Passerby]: 【Just a bystander sharing an opinion. I’m not saying she’s beautiful, just that she actually looks like a human being now.】

The chat was in an uproar, and Chen Chi couldn’t get a word in. Since everyone was obsessed with her face, she simply turned off the camera.

“I’m streaming today to notify my fans: I won’t be doing makeup streams anymore.”

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【No makeup? Heh, if you don’t use ugly makeup to grab attention, what else can you do?】

It sounded like rational analysis, but the words were dripping with mockery.

[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【Great! Does this mean the drama queen is quitting the internet? Get out! Get out!】

This person began leading the rhythm, and countless others followed suit, spamming “Get out!”

Chen Chi ignored them. She took her phone off the stand and opened a MOBA game (a tower-defense battle game) that the original host had recently been playing. The original host only used it to flirt with girls; the account was only a few days old and sat at a pathetic “Bronze” rank.

Chen Chi had been a professional e-sports player before becoming a streamer. Seeing such a low rank made her face twitch.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Wait, you’re becoming a gaming streamer? That rank is so low even my elementary school brother is higher than you!】

The crowd went back into “mass mockery” mode, viciously dissing her.

[Commenter]: 【If you can’t play, don’t play. You just want to make a fool of yourself for views again, right?】

[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【I can’t take it. Watching a noob play is torture. I’m leaving!】

A large group left the stream, leaving only a small number behind—mostly those waiting to see her fail.

“Who wants to play a ranked match with me? I can carry you!”

Now that there were fewer people, Chen Chi felt bolder.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Pfft, what did I just hear? A Bronze-tier piece of trash says she’ll carry us?】

There is a saying that “the ultimate fan is a hater.” Chen Chi noticed that this specific hater seemed very invested; despite everyone leaving, he stayed, waiting for her to embarrass herself.

She invited him: “Want to play? If I lose, I’ll send you 500 yuan!”

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【You’re on. You said you’d pay if you lose—don’t regret it!】

Chen Chi smirked. “No regrets. I’m a woman of my word.”

The remaining viewers waited for the disaster, while Chen Chi waited for her moment.

“Let’s start.”

When Chen Chi played, she tended to purse her lips in focus. In less than 15 minutes, the game was over.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Holy crap… can a Bronze player actually play like this?】

Score: 35 Kills, 0 Deaths.

The viewers were stunned.

Chen Chi’s positioning and use of ultimate abilities were things an average player couldn’t even imagine. Her mechanics were top-tier. By the end, the enemy team was fuming, and the hater playing with her had even managed to snag a kill under her protection.

[Commenter]: 【This has to be fake! She didn’t show her face—someone else must be playing for her!】

The moment that comment appeared, the shock turned into anger.

[Commenter]: 【I knew it. How could a Bronze player who barely plays have such god-like moves? She definitely hired a pro-driver.】

Seeing the stream spiraling out of control, Chen Chi spoke up: “Tomorrow night, I will do a face-cam stream. Same rules: If I die even once in-game, I will quit the internet forever and never return!”

She immediately posted the exact same statement on her Weibo (VB) feed.

[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Wait, don’t! If you quit, I won’t have anyone to hate on anymore!】

Chen Chi meant what she said. After posting the update, she promptly ended the stream.

“See you tomorrow, family!”

Weibo exploded. Someone had actually dared to claim they would quit the internet if they died once in a game.

The news hit the trending searches quickly. Chen Chi, a tiny, obscure influencer, was suddenly famous. Her platform following jumped from 50,000 to 150,000 in less than half an hour.

【Ding! Life Points +100,000 seconds.】

Only then did Chen Chi notice the “Google Translate-style” system voice. She had thought she was hallucinating earlier, but…

“System, is the only way to stay alive by earning the faith of fans?”

The system didn’t answer directly, only reminding her: 【Host authority is low. Level 1.】

Fine. She’d take it one step at a time.

She wasn’t yet aware of the chaos on Weibo when another problem arrived at her door.

“Ms. Chen, these are Ms. Xu Mingqing’s divorce terms. Please sign here.”

An elite female lawyer in a sharp suit stood before Chen Chi, holding a divorce agreement. Her tone made it clear she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

The lawyer had visited this “Ms. Chen” over ten times, and every time she had been brushed off with shameless excuses. This time, she was determined to finish the job.

Chen Chi stared at the lawyer with wide, innocent eyes that seemed to say, “Can we not divorce?”

The woman, in her thirties, rejected her with a cold, piercing gaze.

“Ms. Chen, please sign quickly. The compensation in this agreement is enough for you to live a worry-free life forever.”

The contract stated that if Chen Chi divorced, she would receive 1 million yuan and two 100-square-meter apartments in the city center. It was indeed enough for a comfortable life.

But Chen Chi only had a measly 100,000 seconds left to live.

Thinking about the fact that her wife was a Film Queen, she realized she could use this connection to promote herself.

“I won’t divorce Xu Mingqing. I want to talk to Ms. Xu in person about the divorce. I have something important to tell her! You can go back; I won’t sign this.”

The lawyer was used to this, and her face immediately fell into a frown.

“Don’t worry,” Chen Chi comforted her, seeing the lawyer’s frustration. “You won’t have to come back next time. I will settle things with my wife.”

The lawyer paused. This Ms. Chen seemed different than before—calmer. Perhaps this really would be their last meeting.

“Fine. I will inform Ms. Xu.”

Fifteen minutes later, the lawyer called Xu Mingqing, and Xu Mingqing immediately called Chen Chi.

“Chen Chi, I don’t know what tricks you’re playing this time. 5:00 PM, Linsheng Plaza, Chixia Restaurant. Be there!”

Beep—beep—beep—

Xu Mingqing was brief and hung up instantly.

Chen Chi: “…”

She could tell just how badly this “Ms. Xu” wanted that divorce. Xu Mingqing was constantly filming commercials or on set; making time for an in-person meeting was her absolute limit.

Chen Chi’s face twitched slightly.

“You can go now,” she said to the lawyer. “I’m going to live a good life with my wife. Thank you for your hard work!”

The lawyer gave a strained, awkward smile and left.

Now, time was literally money for Chen Chi—wasting time was wasting her life. She needed to find Xu Mingqing immediately and hold onto that “Film Queen” thigh. Maybe she could get the wife to share a few fans with her.
