From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

“Your boasting is so adorable, I love it!”

ThorHammerStriker just sent two luxury gifts!”

“I’d love to kidnap that high–roller from the comments.”

“I’d rather take the streamer home.”

“Count me in!”

With a playful roll of her eyes, Ann chuckled, “Holy smokes! Are you guys running a kidnapping ring or something?”

The chat erupted with laughter.

“Ann, you’re a freaking genius!”

Anthea was affectionately called Ann by her fans.

Sherman had been on a losing streak for several games in a row.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.” he said.

Daniel entered the room, saying, “Sherman, there’s a document here that needs your signature.”

After signing the document, Sherman pointed to the computer screen and asked, “What

think of this person’s chess skills?”

do you

Daniel glanced at the screen. “Damn, Sherman, you lost? This person must be incredible. Huh, Griffin– YC? Isn’t that similar to the master’s handle? Could it be Anthea?”

Sherman was known for his exceptional chess skills and Daniel had never seen him lose

before.

This was a first.

Sherman squinted, “This person can’t be Anthea.”

Daniel continued, “Actually, Ms. Morris is pretty good at chess too. You should have al

match with her sometime.”

Daniel didn’t understand why Anthea and Sherman were so misinformed about Rebecca, who was genuinely kind–hearted. Was it possible that the more talented people were, the blinder they became?

At the Morris Manor.

Another week had passed without Rebecca getting in touch with Luna.

Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Rebecca prepared to pay a visit to the Black family.

As she was leaving, her assistant hurried over, “Ms. Morris!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Carey, what brings you here?” Rebecca was surprised to see her assistant in such a rush. Carey was sweating profusely, “Jack sent me.”

Jack was Rebecca’s agent and he knew of Sherman’s hobbies including a love for chess aside from his spiritual practices.

So, after Rebecca’s miraculous second chance at life, she sought the system’s help to improve her skills.

With the system’s aid, Rebecca had reached grandmaster status in chess. Not only had she become the vice president of the Chess Association, but she had also signed with Luxphinia’s largest streaming company, earning the title of the top online chess player.

Furthermore, she was Cloudcrest’s youngest grandmaster chess player.

Most importantly, the streaming company she had signed with was a part of the Robinson Group, owned by none other than Daniel.

“What does Jack want?” Rebecca asked.

Carey handed her a smartphone, “Ms. Morris, take a look at this.”

Rebecca took the phone, which displayed a live stream.

A young girl was playing chess live.

Carey glanced at Rebecca before adding, “Ms. Morris, Jack says if you don’t start

streaming again soon, this newcomer might steal your audience.”

Rebecca scoffed, handing the phone back dismissively. She didn’t regard the situation as a threat. “Am I supposed to be worried about every average Joe now?”

She had only glanced quickly.

The streamer, going by the name Griffin YC, had merely two or three thousand viewers at the moment. What was there to be concerned about?

When Rebecca streamed, her viewers always exceeded a hundred thousand.

“Ms. Morris,” Carey continued, “Jack insists we can’t take this lightly. This newcomer is gaining momentum fast! Many companies are looking to sign her. We need to be careful!” Until now, apart from Rebecca, other female streamers were not technically proficient, mostly relying on beauty filters to attract viewers. They couldn’t compare to Rebecca.

In addition to the female streamers, even many professional male streamers couldn’t hold a candle to Rebecca.

Every time there was a collaborative stream, Rebecca would dominate.

But now, out of nowhere, Griffin–YC had managed to top the charts for a week straight without being signed by any agency!

Even Rebecca hadn’t achieved such a feat when she started.

“Just tell Jack to relax,” Rebecca said with disdain in her eyes. “I’m not sweating some no–show joker. I’ve got things to deal with right now. We can talk more when I’m back at the office tonight.”
