From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 130

LeisureHermit, despite his unlucky streak, was still a chess ace.

It took Anthea some serious brainpower to beat him the night before. It had been a while since she’d encountered such a fierce opponent.

So, without hesitation, Anthea accepted to add him as a gaming buddy, labeling him a

‘Loser‘.

Then she fired up her live stream.

Thanks to the popularity from the previous night, Anthea’s channel exploded with over a hundred viewers the moment she went live.

Sarah, clutching her phone, exclaimed in surprise, “Ann, are you not going on camera?”

“Does a gamer need to show their face?” Anthea asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sarah looked somewhat disappointed. Anthea was such a looker, which was a shame not to capitalize on that..

The viewer count would’ve surely skyrocketed if she had been on camera

It was then that Sarah noticed how basic Anthea’s streaming setup was. She just had a webcam and a computer, not even a ring light or a sound card in sight.

Luckily, Anthea’s skin was as smooth as cream without a single flaw. Otherwise, the HD camera would be unforgiving.
