Volume 2 Chapter 67: I Want to See the Streamer’s Spicy Picture!
“Good evening~ Little Vampire is here! Ehehe, it’s been a long time since I last streamed. I’m a bit tired today, but I still made time to stream for everyone. How about that? Am I hardworking or not~?”
The night was unusually quiet. The girl sat in front of her computer screen. She looked a little tired, but she still pulled herself together, ready to give everyone a proper drawing stream.
However, the chat clearly did not believe her obvious excuse and showed their dislike right away.
【Didn’t you say you’d stream every day this month? Then you disappeared for so long!】
【I thought the streamer went to pick up some “mysterious” KFC delivery and got arrested.】
【Don’t slander her, maybe she’s just on probation now.】
【Didn’t she just get out of the police station? Didn’t she?】
【Damn it, are you streaming or not? Give us a clear answer!】
Ahahaha…
The girl looked at the situation with some worry. Uh, uh… this looked like it might turn into a full-on backlash.
Hey, hey, hey, no need to be so harsh, right? I only skipped a few days! Cough, cough—there was an art competition, okay? Don’t get so excited, my sweet pears!
Still, she knew part of it was her own fault for being a bit lazy. Feeling embarrassed, she thought for a moment and then said,
“Cough, cough, sorry, sorry. I was really busy before. But today, I’ll make it up to you all with a fresh drawing stream!”
Lin Lin smiled slightly. She had studied for so long and thought it would all end after the competition. She didn’t expect it to still be useful for streaming. At least it meant her effort paid off a little.
Hmm…
She cleared her throat and said, “Alright, tell me what you want to see me draw. I’ll use my sharp pen to create something at master-level quality!”
【Did you mean ‘master chef level,’ not ‘art master level’?】
【Honest question: when did the streamer learn how to draw?】
【LOL, Ari-chan would be lucky if she can draw a good stick figure. It’s not like we haven’t seen her drawings before.】
【I’m dying.】
【Just draw ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’ directly. No mercy!】
“Cough!” The girl quickly stopped the chat from going too wild and said, “Hey, don’t look down on me! If you push me too far, I can draw ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’ for you… but that’s way too tiring. Forget it, forget it. Let’s do some anime-style stuff, okay? Anime!”
“Also, I’ve been studying drawing really hard recently. My skills are totally different from before now. From this moment on, please call me Ari-sensei!”
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Eh? Little Vampire has been learning to draw lately?】
When she suddenly noticed Dog Bro’s ID, the girl quickly nodded. “Yes, Dog Bro! I learn really fast. Um… cough, cough—self-taught, born with talent! Several art experts saw my work and said I’m the kind of genius you only see once in a lifetime!”
Self-taught, huh…
Listening to her, Gao Liang found it a bit hard to believe, but he still nodded.
Well, he had been teaching someone art recently himself, and he knew how hard it was to learn on your own. Little Vampire was actually pretty impressive.
The key point was—what a coincidence. Classmate Lin Lin and Little Vampire were almost learning drawing at the same time.
Well, they each had their own reasons. Lin Lin was learning for an art competition… to improve her resume, maybe?
Little Vampire was probably doing it for her job as a streamer. Learning more skills would help her stream better.
Thinking about this, Gao Liang suddenly felt a strong sense of empathy. He thought about how tired Lin Lin had been lately, and then heard the exhaustion in Little Vampire’s voice, so…
【System Notice: User “Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog” has tipped the streamer Little Radish with Heart ×5.】
【Holy crap!】
【Dog Bro! It’s him again!】
【Dog Bro never disappoints.】
【That’s insane…】
【Dog Bro, you’re being foolish! With that money, you could tip streamers on the other platforms and get into VIP sponsor groups with private photos and short videos!】
【Isn’t this still anime-style!】
【Seriously, with how generous Dog Bro is, do you really think he needs to go to some “re-employment” platform? Use your brain…】
The chat suddenly became noisy. It seemed some people were arguing about how Dog Bro didn’t really need to do that.
To sum it up, it was basically this—
Other streamers usually have things like “captain groups” or fan groups. Inside those groups, there are some perks, special rewards, and more interaction between the streamer and big spenders.
But on Lin Lin’s side, there was nothing like that at all.
Eh?
But she… she really didn’t want to do those kinds of things.
This…
Just before things got even worse, Gao Liang stepped in and quickly banned a few accounts that were shouting for Ari-chan to give “benefits.”
No badges, no history. Just troublemakers, probably.
Gao Liang frowned and typed:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: I donate because I want to.】
Ah, this…
Dog Bro is so… so cool!
The girl froze for a moment, and then the chat was instantly moved.
【Holy crap, Dog Bro… I’m actually crying.】
【Dog Bro is really so gentle!】
【Dog Bro, look at me! I’m bottom zero!】
Suddenly, someone in the chat made a suggestion:
【Ari-chan, hurry up and draw your own spicy pics! Let me—uh, no—let Dog Bro see it!】
“So you just want to see a spicy picture, right?!”
The girl complained helplessly. But the moment she said that, everyone’s attention was drawn to it.
As a result, even more people started asking for a spicy picture.
【Spicy picture! Spicy picture! Spicy picture!】
【Correct! Straight to the point!】
【Spicy pics, spicy pics, spicy pics! Ari-chan’s spicy pics, hehehe~】
“Hey, hey, hey, you’re going too far! I’ve only heard of virtual streamers looking at their own spicy pictures, and that’s already embarrassing enough. And now you want me to draw it myself?!”
Lin Lin became even more shy and firmly shook her head to refuse.
However, at that moment, Gao Liang, sitting in front of his screen and just watching for fun, typed:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: I want the spicy picture too +1】
Ah… this…
Seeing the request from the top supporter, the girl opened her mouth wide in shock. The chat immediately followed up with things like, 【Look, even the top supporter said so!】 and 【Streamer, just give in already!】
Help… help me.
Lin Lin hesitated for a moment. Hmm… if Dog Bro was asking, then she…
Well, it wasn’t like she absolutely couldn’t try.
Cough, cough—mainly, she wanted to return the favor.
After all, Dog Bro had helped her a lot. Drawing a spicy picture… well, it was impossible to actually draw R18 stuff live anyway. At most, it would just be a slightly sexy picture.
If doing something like this could make the stream more fun, then… it wasn’t totally unacceptable. Everyone wasn’t really here for the spicy picture itself, they just wanted to have fun.
It was just like how Dog Bro’s group friends always asked for sexy pictures.
So what Dog Bro and the chat really meant was…
Some spicy art?
If that was the case, then—okay. The girl nodded. A good artist should be able to handle mature styles too. Drawing her own slightly sexy art—
Alright, time to start drawing!
A moment later, Lin Lin opened the software, connected the drawing tablet she had recently bought, and began to draw.
