Chapter 683: Chapter 702: Why Don’t You Also Livestream, Just Stream ’A Day in the Life of a Prospective Mecha Soldier
The supply was small, but the demand was high. It was a food item you could put a price on, but couldn’t find on the market.
"Um... I don’t really know either." Michelle seemed a little unsure herself. "My brother says everyone around him says his cooking is delicious."
Speaking of which, Michelle was the one who got her brother hooked on it in the first place.
Her brother was always eager to test his skills and had a bit of ambition, so he’d often try making those dishes. However, she hadn’t been home recently and hadn’t tried his cooking. ’But everyone says it’s delicious, so it should be fine, right?’
"In that case, you can pass on what I said to him."
"Okay, thanks!"
With that, she lowered her head and started typing a message. Jiang Qiuqiu glanced over at Michelle.
She had the face of a cool, elegant beauty. With her long hair, her gaze was calm and steady. Anyone who saw her would call her a goddess.
But once she started talking, people would discover she was actually a bit dorky and awkward.
Sometimes she was also a bit too blunt. All in all, she was quite a character.
An idea suddenly sparked in Jiang Qiuqiu’s mind. "Michelle, do you want to find a part-time job? You know, a little side hustle to fill up your pockets?" She patted her own pocket and flashed a smile.
Michelle faltered. "I want to, but... I can’t."
"A job would take up too much time. I have to train. Besides, it’s not like I’m desperate for money. My tuition is waived, and I get by on Nutrient Liquid every day. I can’t get my priorities mixed up." She was crystal clear about the path ahead of her.
"What about a job related to Mecha?"
"No way." Michelle shook her head. "I’m only a first-year. No one would hire me to be a Mecha instructor..."
"No, not as an instructor," Jiang Qiuqiu said, asking, "Have you ever considered becoming a streamer?"
"??"
"Me?"
"I can’t." Michelle shot the idea down without a second thought. "I’ve seen your streams. You’re gentle and cute, you have such a nice voice, and your cooking is amazing. That’s why you have so many fans."
She first gushed with sincere praise for Jiang Qiuqiu before continuing, "I heard back then that streamers make good money, so I thought about trying it, too—"
Unfortunately, after watching a few successful streamers, the blunt Michelle was completely lost. Those people were either incredibly beautiful, like a Princess or a prince, or they were hilarious speakers who made even her crack up laughing.
Or they were full of profound life philosophies, and just chatting with them would make you feel suddenly enlightened.
She didn’t fit into any of those categories. "I’m not talkative, and I’m not particularly good-looking... If I tried to stream, probably no one would watch."
"??" Liu Tingting, who hadn’t reacted to anything else, looked up when she heard the words "not particularly good-looking" and nearly did a spit-take. "Holy shit, Michelle, what are you talking about? You think you’re not good-looking?"
"You’re prettier than most people, you know?"
"...Am I?" Michelle picked up a mirror and took a look. A drab, gray top. ’Because I’m too poor to even get a haircut,’ she thought. "So frumpy."
"..." ’She’s beautiful and completely unaware of it.’
The back-and-forth between the two was pretty amusing. Jiang Qiuqiu covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned to Michelle and said with great seriousness, "Your looks are more than enough."
"Besides, there are ways to stream even if you’re not a big talker. You might not know this, but on the Star Network, some of the things you say are actually pretty interesting."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Getting the seal of approval from a top streamer that she might actually be able to earn money, Michelle felt a flicker of temptation. ’Earn money... if I could earn money, my family wouldn’t have to send me living expenses anymore.’
She glanced around the room. ’And once I have Star Coins, I won’t have to go to that window over there all by myself anymore.’
"Then... what kind of style should I go for?"
