Thaddeus felt he looked sharp while fighting the good fight for Sweet Lemon!


    Orion, on the other hand, didn''t pay any mind to Thaddeus'' antics. He turned to Lemira, "Let''s discuss the partnership with them once I''m back." "Sure," Lemira wasn''t in any rush either.


    After Orion and Thaddeus left the apartment, Lemira nced at the contract PixelStage had sent over. The offer was pretty sweet.


    But it required streaming for many hours daily and participating in the tform''s promotional activities.


    She did need to stream for cash, but bing a gaming streamer wasn''t her endgame. She dreamed of joining the national team,peting as a pro gamer! Unsure, Lemira logged into the game, aiming to upgrade her character''s gear.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Afterst night''s battle, her gear needed some serious maintenance. But as soon as she logged in, she was bombarded with hundreds of friend requests!


    Some were from the bosses of Shadow Legion, others from fans. Lemira nced through them, didn''t ept any, and turned off the friend request option.


    [Ms. Lemon, I caught your streamst night, and you''re killer. But signing with PixelStage is a bad move. With us at VibeCast, backed by Gameverse, you won''t just be a streamer but could also break into showbiz!]


    Lemira read ric''s incredibly earnest message. Indeed, in her past life, Evelina had made it in showbiz with Caspian''s backing and did pretty well for herself.


    Lemira smirked coldly, typing: [No thanks.] After replying, she focused on her gear.


    She saw ric had sent more messages, but she didn''t bother checking.


    She checked the list for the preliminary round. Ten had advanced yesterday. Tonight, she was up against these ten in a showdown.


    Only the winner would qualify for the top 100, and then wouldmence in taking matches one versus one.


    She nced at it, noticing some familiar names, mostly folks from Shadow Legion. But she didn''t see anyone named Time Rewind.


    In her past life, she recalled it was during this event she met that person. And it was his guidance that


    helped her break into the top ten.


    IMS


    She had always suspected that person was Orion for Orion had the same name in the game. But the timing of their meeting was off, she couldn''t be sure if it was him

    Swn?


    Could her rebirth have altered her past life''s path so much that she missed meeting that person?


    Lemira felt a pang of loss.


    That night, Lemira went live on schedule.


    As she started streaming, she saw the viewer count hit the tens of thousands.


    [I believe this chick''s gotta be cheating, just wait for her to slip up in tonight''s match.]


    [Oh, the salt! Some guys attack a woman gamer just because they''ve got lousy skills!]


    [If she''s legit, why not show her face? Probably scared of getting caught for boosting!]


    As Lemira was about to respond, she saw someone had dropped three expensive gifts in the chat. The top fan''s name Skyze caught her eye. She clicked her tongue. It''s actually ric.


    foom: Lemon''s got the skills. I''lly

    The chat went wild.


    her.]


    ric was a big name in the streaming world, with a verified ount. There was no faking that.


    Lemira''s lips curled in a sneer; she uttered, unperturbed, "Let''s get this match started!"


    Hearing that familiar voice, ric nearly fell off his chair! Was that Lemira?
