Su Ruoyu is a mechanically skilled streamer with razor-sharp gameplay and a taunt level through the roof.
A lot of teams want to sign him as a pro player.
Su Ruoyu: I can't. I'm sick.
One day, after gaming for too long, he suddenly keeled over. When he woke up, he found himself bound to a System.
System: Complete your livestream KPIs, and your health will be restored.
Su Ruoyu: Easy. That's what I do.
System: We're a looks-based streamer System.
Su Ruoyu: ...

On the first day, the System listed three KPIs.
Wearing a cat costume, Su Ruoyu scowled and halfheartedly waved a hand beside his cheek. In a flat voice, he said, "Welcome to my livestream. Meow."
On the second day, the System listed two KPIs.
Wearing a bunny costume, Su Ruoyu turned the fluffy ball of his tail toward the camera in embarrassment and asked lifelessly, "Is my tail cute?"
On the third day, the System produced a qipao...
Su Ruoyu: Just end it. I'm not streaming anymore.
System: Complete today's KPIs, and tomorrow you'll be able to livestream games for three hours straight without getting tired.
Su Ruoyu sat in front of the camera, opened a little lace fan, and interacted with his viewers in a spooky voice. "Do you like my new skin? If you do, please click the like button. Oh."
Viewers: Even though he's gritting his teeth like he'll kill me if I click like, I seriously love this so much.
Su Ruoyu discovered that several million people in his livestream had clicked like.

At last, he could stream games. Wearing an all-in-one hamster onesie, Su Ruoyu glanced at the day's KPI: "Call your viewers big brother and big sister, and make everything you say sound sing-songy."
Easy! He slaughtered his way through the game and turned on taunt mode.
He ran into a hopeless couple.
Su Ruoyu: "Wow~ Big brother and big sister are so lovey-dovey~ I'm so jealous~"
KPI complete.
Su Ruoyu: "You can die once and feed the enemy once while under the tower, and even your terrible skills match perfectly. Oh~"
He ran into an irritable guy.
Su Ruoyu: "Wow~ Big brother's plays are so unique~ I'll never learn how to do that~"
KPI complete.
Su Ruoyu: "You flash into a wall and feed the enemy a kill. I couldn't make such a laughably bad play even if I played with my toes. Oh~"
He ran into Jian Chong, the league's top mid-laner.
Jian Chong: "Give me the buff. I'll carry."
Su Ruoyu raised an eyebrow, started from the beginning with every buff, swept the jungle, grabbed MVP, and carried the whole team.
As he left, he still remembered to complete the KPI. "Everyone else gives away kills and buffs. Not me. I only feel bad for giegie when he doesn't get MVP. Oh~"

Jian Chong ran into Su Ruoyu again at the National New Star Tournament awards ceremony. The person who had stolen his kills in a hamster onesie was now standing in first place in the solo competition, calm-faced and dressed normally.
He wanted to sign him, but...
Jian Chong pulled Su Ruoyu aside for a private talk.
Jian Chong: "The team agrees to all your terms, but we have one condition. You can't do that livestream anymore."
Su Ruoyu: "No. I have to stream."
Jian Chong, exasperated: "Are the team benefits not good enough? Is the signing bonus too low? Or will you die if you don't stream?"
Su Ruoyu: "I'll die."
Jian Chong: ...
What else could he do? He had to sign him.

The team members noticed that every night, the captain dragged the new teammate into the dark room for extra practice.
Inside the dark room.
Jian Chong held out the white thigh-high stockings in his hand to Su Ruoyu, whose face was bright red. "Today's KPI. Start streaming."
From then on, the livestreams were private, just for him.
