After Transmigrating As A Scummy Attention-Seeker Alpha, I Became a Global Sensation in the Entertainment Industry (GL) - Chapter 4
Xu Mingqing sat leisurely on the leather sofa of her sprawling villa. Behind the maids’ backs, she was secretly watching Chen Chi’s livestream.
She had registered an account with the ID “Tangyuan.” Amidst a sea of comments like 【Aw, the sister is so cute!】, she posted a completely out-of-place message: 【Chen Chi is so cute.】
Her comment was instantly buried by the flood of messages from other viewers; no one noticed this seemingly insignificant remark.
However, Chen Chi noticed it. Her eyes swept over it quickly and casually, showing no emotion at all.
“The challenge is starting: If I die even once in-game, I quit the internet!”
Chen Chi pulled the focus back. Her goal wasn’t to let viewers praise her sister, but to completely change their perception of her.
The game matched randomly. Haters in the stream opened the game, hoping to be matched against her, but they were stunned to see that Chen Chi’s rank had already reached “Stellar.” The barrier to entry had suddenly jumped several levels.
[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【This account must be fake! She must have borrowed it from someone else!】
[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Huh??? Are you blind? The account info is exactly the same as yesterday. You’re just a sour grape, sour to the core!】
Someone immediately dug up the account from yesterday’s stream on Weibo. It was indeed identical, effectively silencing the skeptics.
“Since I said it, I won’t fake it. This account is mine; feel free to check!”
The haters were choked up, fuming with frustration.
[Wishing CC’s Whole Family Dead]: 【Just you wait. I don’t believe you won’t die even once!】
Chen Chi: “Believe it or not!”
Because she had raised her rank, the teammates and opponents were mostly strangers who didn’t know about her challenge and didn’t care.
She was the main damage dealer for her team. Every time her health bar looked like it was about to hit zero, she managed to survive on a sliver of health, turning the tables and killing three or four enemies surrounding her.
Chen Chi knew exactly how to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The “Hater Number One” was sweating over her maneuvers.
[A Hater of Attention-Seeker Chen Chi]: 【Stop playing! This is too dangerous. Watching you is scarier than a horror movie.】
Thousands of 【+1】 flooded the screen.
But Chen Chi loved dancing on the edge of death.
“Don’t worry, I don’t do things I’m not sure of.”
She grew increasingly powerful as the game progressed. If a single enemy approached, her basic attacks left them at low health; one small skill, and they were instantly sent back to base.
Watching Chen Chi play was satisfying. She played boldly and unconventionally, toying with her opponents like a cat with mice. The viewers were dumbfounded.
So, games can be played like this…
Xu Mingqing really wanted to call Chen Chi and tell her to end the stream quickly; her palms were damp with sweat.
“This isn’t a normal stream. What if there’s an accident…” Remembering Chen Chi’s words, she sighed helplessly. “Fine, I’ll trust her this once.”
Fifteen minutes later, the challenge ended.
32 Kills, 0 Deaths. MVP.
The final stats showed:
[Damage Dealt: 91%]
[Damage Taken: 79%]
[Economy: 40%]
[Team Participation: 84%]
[A Hater…]: 【This… this… this is professional level! Chen Chi, when did you secretly go pro?】
“Uh…” Chen Chi wanted to say she had already finished a pro career and been retired for four years. “These results are okay. Just for fun, not really pro level.”
She was humble, but anyone who knew the game could see she was extraordinary.
【50,000 Passerby Fans converted to True Fans. 4,000 Haters converted to True Fans.】
Chen Chi checked the data. She needed to keep as many people as possible. She opened a beer and raised it high. “Alright! Challenge successful. I don’t have to quit!”
She gulped down the beer. Feeling a bit tipsy, she asked, “What games do you want to see me play next? Or what game guides do you want? I’m a gaming streamer now, no more makeup!”
Chat: 【Any game? Then play the scariest battle royale, ‘Asylum.’】
“Sure, sure, anything goes. I’m not afraid!”
After chatting for a bit, she turned off the stream. As soon as she did, her private messages blew up.
[Message]: 【UP, do you want to join Xinghai Club? You have great talent. Join us and play in tournaments!】
Chen Chi glanced at the message and typed back: 【Not interested.】 A cold rejection.
The other party wasn’t deterred, sending another message ten minutes later: 【Join us, the benefits are great~】
Chen Chi: 【Not going. I will never play in tournaments again in this life! Give it up.】
She turned off her phone, ignoring the harassment. However, turning off the phone meant she missed a call from Xu Mingqing.
“Chen! Chi!”
Back at the villa, Xu Mingqing threw a pillow on the sofa and punched it. “How dare you not answer my call! How dare you!”
This was the first time she had lost her composure like this. When the maid reported this to Xu Mingqing’s parents, they felt a sense of relief—like their daughter had finally grown up.
Their daughter, nearly thirty, had never even been in a relationship. They had been worried sick until she suddenly brought home a “thug” last year as her spouse. They had been terrified she was just being rebellious, but now it seemed she truly liked that Alpha.
“How dare she make our Qing-qing unhappy? Honey, go tell that punk to come over for a talk!”
Mr. Xu agreed.
Meanwhile, the “punk” in question had fallen into a deep, drunken sleep.
Chen Tang cleaned up the trash on the table. Looking at the sleeping Chen Chi, she whispered, “Sis, you really have changed a lot.”
Early the next morning, as dawn broke.
“Sister, where are you going?”
Chen Tang was wearing her faded school uniform with her backpack on. It was obvious where she was going.
“I’m not letting you go back to that school. Your teacher is petty and lacks ethics. I won’t let you get bullied there anymore!”
“But Sis…”
Chen Chi, in her slippers, pulled her sister back from the door.
“Don’t worry, I don’t mean you should stop studying. I’m transferring you. I’m sending you to the best high school in City A. I can only be at peace if you’re there!”
The best high school in City A? That was the High School Affiliated with A University.
“No, no! Sis, that’s too expensive. You work so hard for money. Studying here is fine. I only have two years left. As long as I don’t have conflict with them, they… they’re actually okay.”
“They’re okay?” Chen Chi grew angry thinking of the injuries.
The girl was too naive, thinking people would repent just because they were scolded.
“Just focus on your studies. Don’t worry about the money; I’ll handle it.”
She showed her the train tickets back to City A for 12:00 PM today. “I already booked them. Come live with me. If you feel bad about it, you can pay me back by cooking or doing chores after school.”
Chen Tang’s eyes filled with tears. She looked at this familiar yet strange sister and choked out, “Si… Sister, you’ve changed so much. You’re so good now that I can’t bear to leave you, waaaah~”
Chen Chi patted her head. “Silly girl. I’ll always protect you! I’ll never leave you!”
On the high-speed train, Chen Tang pressed her face against the window, excited. This was her first long trip and her first time on a high-speed train.
Chen Chi watched her dotingly. This is how a sister should be—innocent and carefree.
“The police told me,” Chen Chi updated her, “that your classmate Zhang Jia was being blackmailed for 100,000 yuan. She bullied you because she was desperate for the money. This has become a big case; you’ll probably see her on the news in a couple of days.”
Chen Tang turned around, stunned. In her memory, Zhang Jia was always the one extorting others.
“That classmate of yours tried to act like a tough adult while she was still a kid. She got a thug for a boyfriend, and he tricked her out of everything she had. He had gambling debts and used private photos to threaten her. She did what she did, and you were caught in the crossfire.”
“What about Peng Doudou? The breakfast stall uncle’s daughter?”
Chen Tang told Chen Chi, “Sis, you don’t know—she actually helped me. She followed Zhang Jia because she didn’t want to be bullied herself. She never hit anyone. When you called yesterday, she was the one who answered secretly behind Zhang Jia’s back!”
Chen Chi froze for a second. There was more to the story. She reluctantly shared the legal outcome. “Zhang Jia got a year and a half. The other four are going to juvenile detention for six months.”
Chen Chi knew the breakfast stall uncle would be heartbroken. His daughter was a victim too, but because she participated, she had to face the consequences.
“Don’t be sad. Your friend will be okay.”
“Sis, I’m going to the restroom.”
Chen Chi watched her crying sister leave. The scenery outside lost its color. She made a call to the police, explaining Peng Doudou’s role. Ultimately, Peng Doudou was given a verbal warning instead of detention.
When Chen Tang returned, she was holding a business card.
[Shiyue Entertainment Company]
“Sis, you met a scout on a train?”
“A scout?” Chen Tang realized the person who gave her the card wasn’t just handing out flyers.
Chen Chi looked at her sister. She didn’t see anything particularly flashy, just a very pure, innocent look and “doe eyes.”
Dammit, no wonder she was scouted.
“Tang-tang, the entertainment industry is messy. If you want to go, let me know. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you!”
Chen Tang wanted to help with the family expenses. She vaguely remembered the person saying trainees get a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan.
“Sis, I want to try.”
Chen Chi gritted her teeth and agreed. “Okay. I support you!”
【Congratulations, Host! Followers have exceeded 2 million. System upgraded: The Host can now bind to one blood relative and share their fan points.】
Chen Chi was speechless. The system was basically forcing her to bind with her sister. It seemed her sister had to enter the entertainment industry.
She didn’t want to die, after all.
