Have No Desire to Inherit the Family Business
Chapter 1
It was a sunny afternoon and the warm sunlight shone in, covering the young man in the room with a layer of soft golden light.
He sat in front of the computer, his green eyes staring at the screen. His hands didn't stop moving.
He logged into his account skillfully and clicked into the first live broadcast room at the top. The live broadcast screen popped up.
The chivalrous swordsman put on his headphones and heard a female voice that was as cold as an icy spring.
"Okay, now there's one person left. Let me secretly take a look at where this big brother is hiding."
On the screen, a male character was lying in a pile of straw, turning his view to check the surrounding situation.
The live broadcast was the popular PUBG on the Internet, also known as Chicken Dinner. It was a game similar to Battle Royale.
And this was a very popular live streamer in the gaming area. Her ID was Ica and was often praised by fans. At the same time, her skills were also recognized as good.
[Where is this person?
Did anyone in the live broadcast room notice?
]
[I didn't see him …]
[+ 1]
[Damn, I'm so nervous.]
Chivalry roughly glanced at the comments of the audience in the live broadcast room and quickly turned his attention to the game screen.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Ica's voice didn't sound affected by the tense atmosphere. The speed at which she turned her view was so fast that it made people wonder if she was observing carefully.
The movement of turning the view suddenly stopped. At the same time, Chivalry's eyes locked on a certain part of the screen.
"Found him."
The person lying in the pile of straw had already adjusted the angle. Bullets were fired mercilessly. The gun with a silencer didn't give the person any time to react at all. A few extremely fast shots took away the last person mercilessly.
One round ended. Chicken Dinner.
[666]
[I only saw where the person was after Ica shot him …]
[Ica is so good!]
"The first round today went very smoothly."
Ica clicked on the friends list. There were only a few friends and none of them were online at this time. "I think I saw Langlang enter the live broadcast room just now?
Quickly enter the game, let's play in a duo! "
[Surfing Guru seems to have just entered not long ago.]
[Surfing Guru seems to have not been online for a long time.]
[I can see Ica and Surfing Guru fighting again!]
[Wake up! They are obviously doing crosstalk! Hahaha!]
Langlang, or Surfer, naturally referred to Chivalry who had just entered the live broadcast room. His full ID was "Surfing the Internet Together". He was one of the moderators of Ica's live broadcast room, and could be considered as a teammate who often appeared in the live broadcast room.
There was nothing worth mentioning about how Chivalry and Ica met.
About two months ago, Ica met Chivalry by chance in a casual duo match. Both of them felt that the other was pretty good, so they added each other as friends. Gradually, they became familiar with each other.
The audience also liked to watch Ica and Chivalry play PUBG together. In addition to their smooth operation and pleasing skills, their voice on the mic was as interesting as a crosstalk.
The moment Chivalry logged into the game, he received a party invitation. The two of them immediately joined the party.
"It seems that I haven't played with you in the past few days." In the preparation stage before jumping off the plane, Ica began to chat. "I thought you didn't play anymore."
"No, no, I had something to do a few days ago, so I didn't play the game much."
Chivalry had just jumped out of the ruins with the exploration team. He turned on the computer after sleeping for a few hours. It could be said that he was the model of a modern Internet addict.
Ica asked jokingly, "You haven't played for a few days, have you become rusty?"
"Well, that's true," Chivalry said seriously and deliberately suggested, "Then let's get used to the jungle jumping area first."
"Jump your head." Sure enough, Ica didn't even think about it. "Are you an old man?
Jump to the military base with me. Young people should be more energetic. At worst, I will collect your corpse and loot your crate. "
"What!
You sound like I'm the only one who will die!
And shouldn't you be helping me take revenge? "
Ica said sternly, "Noobs don't have a choice!"
"I'm not dead yet, okay!!!"
…
After turning off the live broadcast, the gray-haired girl sitting in front of the chair stretched her body.
Today's chicken dinner was quite satisfying. Langlang, a reliable teammate, played a big part in it.
Except for one game where the two of them were punished by running laps in the safe zone and were beaten to death by the two teams squatting at the top of the hill, the rest of the games were successful.
The popular streamer Ica, whose real name was Edith Dolores, looked at the time at the bottom right corner of the screen. It was almost time for dinner.
She checked the balance in her card. The income from the live broadcast was quite considerable. As long as she resisted the bad habit of spending money extravagantly, it would be enough for her to use for a while.
But …
"It's not working at all!"
Edith collapsed on the computer chair and spun the chair around a few times. "I want to buy so many things!
It's not enough! "
It had only been three months. As long as she persevered for this one year, a beautiful and free life would be waiting for her in front of her!
Besides, thinking about the difficult experience in the first few days, now that she had money on hand, she felt like she was in heaven. Come on, Edith!
She must not admit defeat!
With that in mind, Edith reluctantly gave up on a certain expensive restaurant that she had been drooling over for a long time. She obediently chose a take-out for civilians.
Edith's current situation could not be explained in a few words.
Dolores was a family with a long history. They had amazing financial resources and were not to be underestimated in terms of combat power. As long as one was not far away from the world, they would have heard of Dolores's great name.
Edith was the daughter of the current head of the family. She had an elder brother who was three years older than her. No matter how one looked at it, she was the apple of the Dolores family's eye.
In fact, that was the truth. Edith, who was doted on, had always been extravagant. As long as it was her wish, she would try her best to achieve it.
However —
"I just want to develop in the gaming industry!
Anyway, I'm not the next head of the family! "
Edith, who had been addicted to games since she was a child, made such a request that did not fit the family's image. Her parents, who loved her very much, could not help but have a headache. They did not know if they should support their precious daughter's hobby.
In the end, Edith's father made a three-point agreement with her:
"If you can only rely on games to support yourself for a year, we will support your decision.
During this period, the family will not give you any help. You also cannot fish in troubled waters through part-time jobs that have nothing to do with games. We will send someone to check on the situation. "
Edith's father felt that this condition was difficult for this little princess who did not have to worry about food and clothing. He did not forget to warn the elder brother who spoiled Edith to the heavens:
"Yuloka, you are not allowed to secretly help your sister, do you hear me?"
In short, it was under such circumstances that Edith resolutely chose to leave home. Other than the set of clothes on her body and the fake identity that her father provided out of friendship, she did not bring anything. Not to mention a phone or a computer, she did not even have a hair band to tie up her hair.
"If, if you can't hold on and can't survive, remember to use that emergency method to contact the family."
Behind her was her father with a serious face. He tried his best to pretend that he did not care. He was still worried that his baby would starve to death outside.
The memories ended.
Edith was slurping the noodles in the takeout box while using the computer to check the official website of PUBG to pass the time. There was no sign that she was going to starve to death.
If you don't work hard in the game, you will be forced to inherit the family business!
That was probably the background setting. Although it was clear that her brother Yuloka would inherit the family business, it was more or less the same meaning. It was good that she could understand the meaning.
"Hmm?
A new announcement? "
Edith swallowed the food in her mouth. She had finally gotten used to the taste of commoner food. It was not as difficult to eat as it was at the beginning. "PUBG offline competition?"
— The prize for the first place is five million rings.
“!!!”
Edith's eyes suddenly lit up. She moved the mouse wheel and browsed through the announcement at a speed of ten lines.
"Why is there no individual competition!!?"
With a miserable cry, Edith was hit hard by the cruelty of reality. She moved the mouse with difficulty and comforted herself: "It's okay, I can go one against two …"
However, the rules of the competition stated that two people were required to sign up for the competition.
Edith: "…"
After a moment of silence, she opened her social media app and scanned through the "Chicken Dinner Teammate" group for a long time. Although there were only single digits of friends, she was hesitant and did not know who to look for.
After hesitating for a long time, she opened a chat box first. She pushed the takeout box and tapped on the keyboard with both hands, making a crisp sound.
[Ica: Hello?
Want to know more about the PUBG offline competition?]
[I Always Like 2D Guy: Huh?
You're actually interested in this kind of thing?]
The reply was almost instantaneous. Edith always suspected that he stayed at home in front of the computer 24/7.
Now, this question made her feel a little awkward. If it was not for the prize for the first place, she guessed that she would not be that interested.
[Ica: Prize!
Five million rings!]
[I Always Like 2D Guy: …]
[I Always Like 2D Guy: No way?
You're actually short of money?]
[Ica: … Bye bye]
[I Always Like 2D Guy: No no no, that's not what I meant!
The main thing is that I don't really want to go out of the house …]
[Ica: You're no longer of any use!]
Edith closed the chat box angrily. She felt that her self-esteem had been destroyed. This kind of hateful rich person's speech was too infuriating!
Moreover, she was just helpless now!
Although she felt a little frustrated, Ika still clicked on the next dialog box.
[Ica: Hello?
Want to know more about the PUBG offline competition?]
This time, there was no instant reply like 2D Guy, but she did not have to wait for too long. About a minute later, Ica received a reply.
[Surfing the Internet Together: Eh?
Ica, do you want to go?]
[Ica: Yes, I'm so poor that I've just been ruthlessly attacked by 2D Guy's speech for the first place prize of five million rings.]
[Surfing the Internet Together: Hahahaha!
I think I can guess what he said. Hahahaha!]
[Surfing the Internet Together: But are you that short of money?
Five million is indeed a little …]
[Ika: … This is so annoying!
So you're a rich person too?!]
[Ica: I have no choice!
I haven't gotten through this period of hardship yet!
You just have to tell me if you want to go with me or not!
If you don't, I'll go find the next person. I won't waste time with you.]
So, her teammates who were eating chicken dinner with her were all rich people?!
She was extremely sad. She was not willing to run around for a mere five million rings. She was clearly needed on a bigger stage!
Soon, a message came from Surfing the Internet.
[Surfing the Internet Together: Sure, I can meet Ika in person.
