Chapter 83: Chapter 68 A World Where Everyone is Hurt_2
Facing a materialistic and vain woman, one can be more straightforward and unreserved.
But Su Huai found Pei Shuyu’s personality somewhat elusive. In theory, she should be very confident, strong, and decisive, yet the state she exhibited carried a lot of naivety, shrinkage, and timidity.
Maybe it’s because she hasn’t been live streaming for long enough to have developed a mental coating, lacking real tempering.
So, Su Huai’s response was rather neutral, leaving ample space for maneuver both ways.
With an EQ and IQ of 78 points plus experience and Pulling skills, the current Gou Huai is no longer just an old slick hand in the gray area but has become a deep-fried Baguette.
Crunchy on the outside, crumbly on the inside, and the dregs fall off with a shake.
...
Pei Shuyu’s emotions stabilized slightly, and Gou Huai provoked her desire to confide.
“Sometimes they really are…”
As she was typing, she suddenly became alert and then deleted everything and started typing over.
“It’s all good as long as you’re not upset, thank you, Turbid Dog Bro, for being so generous. When will you come and watch me dance again? I am a dance major and work part-time to earn tuition. My level is genuinely good!”
This time, Su Huai replied instantly.
“I’ll have to check it out, alright, you go ahead and focus on your live stream.”
He gave her enough respect, but also showed a core lack of interest, making him seem polite but difficult to please.
This too was part of building a persona.
The big names on live stream platforms have various personalities—there’s every type imaginable—but which type do the streamers like most?
Undoubtedly, it’s the polite, down-to-earth, wealthy players who don’t make a fuss.
Nowadays, the approach of ‘big brother with sentiments’ is out of style, but indeed, many godlike benefactors have exhibited the same trait—generous spending, no private demands, replying on WeChat every few days, holding sway in the chatroom without setting the tone.
In contrast, some players who don’t spend much are privately clingy and demanding, which is a headache for any streamer they encounter.
Ignoring them, they can truly prop up a large monthly leaderboard.
Engage with them, and it’s endless.
A dilemma.
The internet can magnify the dark side of a person, so big brothers who can still maintain a sense of boundaries and propriety online, easily win the high favorability of female streamers.
If one is fortunate to encounter such a person, then they will certainly stick to them like glue.
And what about those broke, attentive guys?
Scram.
If they meet a kind-hearted streamer, they might become friends; but if they encounter a slick woman, they still won’t be in the picture.
In the world of live streaming, money is the foundation of everything.
Su Huai spent money—140,000 coins, ranking second on today’s leaderboard, which gave her a lot of room for imagination, and that’s why he got the highest level of attention.
And what Su Huai wanted was her initiative.
Sure enough, Pei Shuyu was not content to end the conversation there and launched another offensive from a different angle.
“What time do you sleep, Turbid Dog Bro? How about I keep you company and chat later? You’ve given so much support, but didn’t get a good experience in return, and it makes me feel really uncomfortable.”
Ah, yes, I do like it when you’re uncomfortable, as if you owe me something.
Maintain that, continue tomorrow!
Gou Huai smiled mischievously, but his reply maintained an air of dignity, “It’s the thought that counts. I’m going to scroll through and then sleep; don’t worry about me.”

Plenty of words, but not giving her emotional outlets, just making her keep it bottled up, such a dog move.
However, this sort of trick must look natural. If there’s no chance, one must decisively refrain from acting; only use it occasionally when a good opportunity presents itself, for excellent effect.
Pei Shuyu was completely out of moves. She wasn’t the type to let loose privately, her real capacity for acting spoiled probably wasn’t even half of Chen Nuanhan’s, even less clingy.
“Okay, then, have a good time, Turbid Dog Bro, and thank you again for your tremendous support!”
Su Huai closed the chat window without giving her any more attention.
Then, casually, he created a new group and added her, Chen Nuanhan, and Gu Jiuyue’s WeChat into it.
The group name was… Schliep Slurp.
If you get it from the sound, you’re beyond saving. Just take them out back and finish them.
Next, Su Huai quickly dealt with some QQ group messages. Girls really are troublesome; someone would @ him at least a dozen times a day.
Once everything was in order, he rubbed his hands together and began to draw from the 20-point Favorability roulette.
Give me something fresh as a reward…
Please, no more dog food, no more dog food, no more dog food!
With great anticipation, the roulette wheel slowly came to a halt, fringing the edge of the White Zone and landing on a red prize.
YES!
Su Huai excitedly pumped his fist, recovering from the brink of disappointment to sheer joy.
And when he saw the prompt… whoa, exhilarating!
[Congratulations, Host, for drawing Pei Shuyu’s Lifelike Performance Skill developed over a long period of training. It’s not systematic or scientifically-founded genuine acting, but it enables you to effectively control your facial expressions, disguise your real thoughts, and convey false emotions to a certain extent. Unserious acting ability +40]
Nice going, what I lacked, I got!
In the past couple of days, Su Huai felt that his control over Chen Nuanhan had diminished quite a bit, feeling somewhat cowardly and empty.
Actually, when he was unaware, there was no problem at all, but ever since he learned about Chen Nuanhan’s original Sixth Sense Talent, Su Huai, who wasn’t very good at acting, suddenly felt a bit guilty and breathless.
Faked confidence and performed confidence are not the same, right?
But now, no fear!
An additional 40 points of unserious acting skill won’t be decisive, but Su Huai had other unserious skills, too!
Pulling + Thick-skinned + Bluffing + Acting, should be sufficient most of the time.
If there ever comes a day for a head-on battle…
