Volume 1 Chapter 59: Your Cool, Abstinent Top-Student Is Online
With a loud bang, the door shut. The girl quickly sat back down at her seat.
She opened the laptop again, typed in the password, restarted the stream, and turned the microphone back on. Only then did the viewers who had been waiting in Ari’s stream see the Little Vampire Girl move again.
“Ahahaha, there was a small accident just now. I’m back!”
The girl laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty, and then looked at the chat.
【Wow, the streamer is alive again.】
【So you’re done? Did you deal with your little boyfriend?】
【Ari-chan… sob… you don’t live alone after all.】
【Dox her! We must dox her!】
【Ari-chan, take me with you! I can’t live without you! Waaa—】
【Ari-chan, what just happened?】
Wow. Seeing the chat completely lose control, the girl wiped her sweat and explained awkwardly.
“Uh, um… that was my family, not a boyfriend! A family member came into my room, so I muted the mic for a bit. Sorry, everyone.”
【Oh, so the streamer lives with her family?】
【LOL, Ari-chan’s parents: ‘You’re doing this? You’re so useless!’】
【Sorry… sob… we sweet pears made Ari-chan lose face.】
【When I think about Ari-chan having to fake-smile to sweet pears just to survive, and getting beaten by her parents if she doesn’t stream, I start crying.】
【The number one VTuber in northern Myanmar.】
【Does Ari-chan cry alone after every stream?】
【Probably… I mean, if it wasn’t for money, who would be nice to otaku…】
“Cough, cough—stop, stop, stop!”
The girl quickly stopped this wild and self-mocking crowd and said:
“Cough, cough. Don’t worry, sweet pears. My family treats me very well. It’s just that being a virtual streamer is a bit embarrassing, so I’m shy about telling them. Don’t worry, there’s no crying after stream.”
【So in the end, it’s still sweet pears making the streamer embarrassed, right… sob… sorry.】
【Ari-chan, cut ties with us! Your stage is much bigger than this!】
【What the hell, holy separation?! Don’t do that! I don’t want Ari-chan to abandon us!】
“No, no! What kind of illness are you all having? I just went to deal with my family for a moment, okay? Stop it!”
Lin Lin waved her hands nervously and said, “I… I still really like everyone!”
“I… normally…”
The girl lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly. She opened her mouth and spoke softly and with difficulty.
“Ah, normally… normally I’m actually very popular! Cough… I mean, even so, the people I usually meet are all real-life winners. So I think sweet pears are really interesting too! I like everyone, and I’m very happy to be liked by all of you!”
Hmm…
She still didn’t have the courage to say that she was also an otaku.
Her face red, the girl sat upright in front of the screen.
Who knew those words worked really well!
The chat was suddenly filled with messages like:
【I’m crying.】
【She really… I’m crying so hard.】
【Just for this speech, I’m a solo fan now!】
【Solo fan? I’m buying a membership!】
【Membership? I’m getting married!】
As waves of comments kept coming, Lin Lin saw her subscriber count and gift donations keep going up. While she kept thanking the big spenders nonstop, she also had to hurry and continue working on the system’s test paper.
At last, while the girl kept saying “thank you” to her members, thanking gifts, thanking super chats, and at the same time solving problems like crazy, Lin Lin…
actually finished the whole test paper.
Hmm…
The girl nervously looked at the questions again, then started checking everything from beginning to end.
She couldn’t afford any mistakes. One wrong answer and it would be over!
She still had plenty of time left, much more than she expected.
Hmm…
Maybe she could explain the questions to the viewers while checking for mistakes.
So the girl cleared her throat and started explaining the problems one by one.
“Cough, cough. I’ll explain the questions live for you, sweet pears. Um… let’s start with this one!”
“For this question, first we look at…”
On the screen, the Little Vampire Girl talked nonstop, explaining the problems. Off-screen, Gao Liang felt more and more that something was wrong.
Why did every type of question get explained in a way that was so similar to his own?
Uh…
While he was thinking, he suddenly noticed a problem in one sentence the Little Vampire Girl said.
He quickly looked more carefully and typed in the chat:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Ari-chan, you calculated that formula wrong.】
Lin Lin glanced at the chat, raised her eyebrows, looked at her formula again, and then…
“Huh?”
【Whoa, I see it too. Ari-chan made a mistake in that middle step.】
【LOL, didn’t you say full marks? Dog bro is amazing!】
【Are you watching the stream with a microscope? I really didn’t notice that…】
She really got it wrong?
Ah…
The girl quickly knocked on her own hand. Of course, doing math while thanking donations really causes problems.
She hurried to fix the answer, muttering as she did, “Ah… thank you, Dog bro, thank you! Without you I’d be done for, sob…”
After fixing it, she checked it again carefully. Once she was sure it was correct, she nodded.
“Cough, cough. Dog bro, help me check if there are any other mistakes…”
Together with the chat, and especially Dog bro, whom she trusted the most, Lin Lin checked the paper several more times.
Gao Liang looked very carefully. After going through it again and again, he felt it should be fine, so he typed:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: It should be okay!】
“Hoo… then I’ll… I’ll submit it!”
Lin Lin took several deep breaths. She still didn’t dare submit, so she checked it one more time.
Finally, she closed her eyes. On impulse, she opened them wide and…
clicked “Submit”!
Gasp—
The girl sucked in a sharp breath, then quickly turned off the microphone so she wouldn’t turn into a low-IQ mess babbling on screen. She closed her eyes again.
I can’t look, I can’t look… sob…
After a moment, when she felt her brain was still working, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the result on the screen.
Score: 150 points.
“Niiiiice~~~~!!!! That’s amazing! That’s amazing—ahhhhh!!!”
The girl jumped up in excitement. After hopping around for a while, a system message appeared.
【Ding! Congratulations, host. Mission completed. Rewards received: one “cool top-student” style Live2D skin, super memory, and 20,000 popularity points!】
Suddenly, her whole body twitched. It felt like her brain had been upgraded.
She sat down, stunned for a while, then looked at the screen.
So… so strong!
Hehehe~
Smiling, the girl opened the streaming software again, turned on the mic, and switched to her new skin.
Ding! On the screen, the Little Vampire Girl suddenly changed into a JK-style long skirt, with a bright brooch on her chest, a book in her arms, long straight silver hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
The Little Vampire Girl stood up, leaned toward the camera, and gave a mischievous smile.
“Today’s stream ends here~ Any viewers who still haven’t learned high school math, stay behind for after-class tutoring!”
