However, this fame also has its downsides. Now, when she goes to a restaurant, some restaurants are very welcoming, while others don't want her to go.

This made her too embarrassed to go to restaurants anymore, so she started livestreaming herself cooking! Before, she would eat whatever the viewers voted on for lunch, but now she makes whatever they vote on.

Usually, she votes on the first day, buys the ingredients the next morning, and then draws a local lucky winner to share the profits.

Then, those who weren't locals expressed their strong dissatisfaction, saying it was unfair to bully outsiders like this!

Another audience member, a man known as "Wenren," said something:

While you were complaining, I had already followed you into the kitchen.

It was as if a magical door had been opened. Before, they were all starving and waiting to be fed, but the day before, when Bao Yu gave them the menu, they started preparing accordingly.

Then, they made Bao Yu cook slower each time, and they recorded videos of themselves learning to cook, each showing off their unique skills.

That's not all; they also shared their achievements on Bao Yu's official WeChat account and their own short videos.

Strangely enough, Bao Yu has even managed to cultivate several food bloggers.

Because Bao Yu doesn't know how to package herself or do much promotion, she's neither famous nor unknown, yet she seems to be everywhere.

Now, she broadcasts for 8 hours straight, which allows her to end the broadcast earlier and make it easier for her to do other things.

That day, Bao Yu had just finished cleaning the kitchen when she suddenly saw a connection request on her computer. Out of curiosity, Bao Yu accepted the request.

Over there, I saw someone who seemed to be a streamer as well, speaking fluent Northeastern dialect; he looked like a straightforward and charming guy.

"Hey girl, wanna have a duel?"

Bao Yu didn't understand: "PK? What does that mean?"

The man looked at Bao Yu's profile and exclaimed, "You've never even participated in a PK battle? How are you going to participate in the year-end gala?"

Bao Yu was confused: "What? What does it have to do with anything?"

Seeing the number of viewers in Bao Yu's live stream, the man kindly explained, "To liven up the atmosphere of the live stream, the platform has launched a PK between streamers, so that they can stand on the same side as their fans."

At this moment, the dogs below were also explaining to Bao Yu:

[It's all just a ploy to trick fans into spending money!]

Yes, they're just exploiting ordinary people!

The winner of the competition is determined by the number of gifts received from fans; the one with the most money wins!

Understood: "Sorry, I'm not competing!"

The man clearly didn't want to give up on this newbie. After all, besides making money, the better player naturally attracts more fans. Although he didn't know how this person had so many fans, what if he could attract the opposing team's fans?

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet. The year-end gala is a competition between streamers, and the top 5 will be able to participate in Xingya's year-end gala competition. This is an honor for all Xingya streamers! The competition starts soon, and you haven't even had a single PK yet. You'll definitely be at a disadvantage in the later PKs!"

Bao Yu listened to the man's seemingly reasonable but actually far-fetched words and couldn't help but want to refuse. However, seeing the comments in the live stream:

[Say yes! Compete with him!]

Knowing these dogs were just there to watch the show, Bao Yu said helplessly, "Alright, how do we compete?"

Seeing that Bao Yu agreed, the man's face lit up with joy: "This is a PK time bar. After it starts, each person will show their talents. Within the time limit, the number of gifts sent will be the standard. When the time bar ends, the competition ends, and the loser will be punished!"
