Chapter 58
Alice ignored Luke, logging into the game for her first battle. She knew these players were skilled,
Her opponent was a Berserker, tough to beat. He taunted, “Little girl, beg for mercy, and I might let You can’t keep a win bought with a proxy player,”

easy.
Alice didn’t respond, attacking immediately. Five minutes later, she’d won decisively. There was a three–minute break between battles. The chat exploded again:
“Where’s that cocky guy? Time to eat your words!*
Lemon is still sour today!*
Luke stared at his screen, thinking he’d misheard. The streamer’s voice was identical to Alice’s. What was happening? Was he going deaf?
He looked at his secretary. “Did that streamer speak just now?”
The secretary nodded. “Yes, it sounded like a young girl. Anything wrong?”
Luke said nothing, staring at the screen. His mind was reeling.“[Sweet Lemon].” He hadn’t considered that Alice’s childhood nickname was Lemon. He felt a tightness in his chest. If it was Alice, he couldn’t even imagine the implications!
Chloe approached.“Luke, what’s wrong? You look pale.”
Luke swallowed.“That streamer’s voice… it sounds like Alice! Could it be her?”
“Luke, I suspected it was Alice yesterday, after hearing the voice. But I think it’s a coincidence. There are look–alikes; similar voices aren’t uncommon.”
Luke relaxed. “You’re right. It’s probably a coincidence.” He didn’t want to believe it was Alice. He couldn’t bear to consider that possibility.
The secretary exclaimed, “Boss, the streamer gained 200,000 followers, and the viewership hit 100,000!”
Luke looked.“So fast?”
“Yes! She hasn’t lost a single battle, and she wins easily!”
“If we get her on our team, the finals are a sure thing!” Luke’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He agreed.
Chloe’s smile faltered. If this person joined the team, what would happen to her? Luke might give this person Net Idol award.

Chloe was jealous but said nothing.
After two hours and ten victories, Alice reached the top 100. She smiled, rubbing her sore wrists. Gifts poured
into the chat.
Alice spoke into her mic.“Thank you for the gifts. I’ll continue tomorrow. This is my first time livestreaming.”
*Goddess, can you do a Gunner tutorial?*
*I want to be a badass Gunner too!*
Sweet Lemon, don’t go offline! Interact with your fans!*
Alice said, “I can’t cover everything today, but let’s review my ten battles. How did I win?”

She played the recordings, explaining her strategies. Her voice was calm, her analysis clear and precise. After the first match, her opponent apologized in the chat:[Sorry, big sis! I was arrogant. Can I still apologize?]
Alice replied softly, “It’s okay. I won.”
OMG, she’s so cool and generous!*
“New fan! Gotta support a skilled female player!*
She analyzed all ten matches, her voice a little hoarse. She took a sip of water. “That’s it for tonight. See you
tomorrow.”
More rockets filled the screen. Alice saw Landing Team’s name, annoyed. What did Luke want? She’d rejected him! Didn’t he recognize her voice? Was he still trying to get her on the team?
Luke commented:[Join Green Fruit Live! The terms are yours! You’ll be the top female Gunner!]
He tried to comment again but was banned!
“What?! Shrimp Live is playing dirty! They banned me!” He publicly tagged Shrimp Live: [What’s the deal? She’s talented! She should join Landing Team and win awards! What can you offer her?]
John Wilson replied:[I can invite her to my team!]
John Wilson had seen Alice’s livestream and immediately called Jack.“Bro, we need to get Alice to sign with Shrimp Live! We’re family! We can’t let outsiders get her!”
Jack was in a private room. His tone was calm.“Your exploitative contract? You think she’ll sign that?”
John Wilson stammered, “If she joins, she can name her price!” Jack was the real boss. It was all the same money
anyway.
“I’ll ask.”
Jack hung up, opening Shrimp Live. Alice’s livestream was trending! She now had 300,000 followers! He watched her analysis video; it was professional! Only someone with professional training could deliver that level of insight.
He felt something was off; Alice had secrets he didn’t know.
He received a screenshot of Alice’s follower count and a happy emoji.
Jack replied:[Saw it.]
Alice waited for more but got nothing else. Was he still working? She calculated her earnings – pretty good!
Thanks to Luke’s rockets.
A
message popped up in her class group: [Students, collect your application forms and graduation photos tomorrow!]
The next morning, Alice went to school.
“Alice, is ‘Sweet Lemon‘ you?”
“The voice is exactly the same!”
“Alice, tell us! We’re so envious! You’re amazing!”
Alice was flustered. Chloe walked in, seeing Alice surrounded by admirers, gritted her teeth.
Her sidekick sneered, “Don’t guess. If Alice was that streamer, she’d be bragging on WhatsApp.”

Alice raised an eyebrow.“Oh yeah?”
