FSGOR Ch98 – Extra Anchor

August.

The sweltering summer heat in Ning City felt like a sealed steamer—stuffy and unbearable.
Inside the Xingfu Harbor residential complex, the energy-saving air conditioning blew cool air in abundance. Bright sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves outside and streamed in through the glass windows, casting soft patches of light on the edge of a desk.

At that moment—

Jiang Tian was completely relaxed, leaning back in a gaming chair, eyes fixed on the game interface on his screen.

His hand, holding a gaming mouse, had slender, fair fingers; the skin gleaming under the light looked like a finely crafted work of art.
In the shooting game he was playing, his combat performance was nothing short of brilliant. As the team leader of a random squad, he dominated the battlefield with brutal precision—truly a born sharpshooter.

【Damn, that reaction speed and game sense are insane—his thinking is so clear!】

【No ordinary person could pull off this kind of gameplay. Is the streamer really just an amateur? I’m in love!】

【Wait… is the streamer KIRA?!】

【Hold up—isn’t that the top student who went viral for teaching people how to solve math problems mid-game???】

Comments flew across the screen in rapid succession, but Jiang Tian didn’t have the time to respond. His childhood friend Lu Qiao had been targeted, and he was quickly taking a shortcut to rescue her. The two of them worked together seamlessly.

At the same time—

Jiang Tian’s in-game character wielded a mechanical rifle, launched a triple burst ultimate, healed in between shots, and didn’t miss a single bullet. In a 1v3 scenario, he crushed the opponents with overwhelming force.

Boom—!
A golden “VICTORY” flashed across the massive monitor.

The live chat exploded. Fireworks from gift donations flooded the screen. As a technically skilled and low-key amateur streamer, KIRA had already attracted a lot of fans, but with the added twist of being a top student, he was basically a magnet for followers who admired brains and talent.

What no one knew was—
He only started streaming to monitor his childhood friend’s gaming habits and help her get into a top-tier university. (985 or 211, China’s elite colleges.)

This wave of donations from gameplay rewards? It crushed every other streamer in the same genre. And it wasn’t just digital gains—in real life, fans were lining up to shower him with gifts.

But then—

Everyone suddenly watched as the stream cut to KIRA opening a donation webpage and transferring all the gifted money to help children in impoverished mountain areas.

【……】

【What kind of saint is this streamer???】

【Holy—I’m even more in love. Starting today, I’m a KIRA fan!】

【Welcome to the fandom of our sweet and handsome boy!】

【Wait—who’s “Sweetie”???】

【Hahahaha, all the old fans know! His childhood friend Lu Qiao calls him “Tian-Ge,” but we like
to call him “Sweetie Sweetie” (甜甜 tian-tian) LOL】

【Aaaaa so cute!!! T_T】

【He’s cold and cool on the outside, but really just a soft sweet baby underneath!】

Ding—

Jiang Tian glanced at his phone. The folded WeChat notification showed a delivery had arrived. He quickly messaged Lu Qiao:

KIRA: Qiao.

KIRA: Time to end stream and start studying.

KIRA: Ask me if you don’t get anything.

He moved his mouse, paused the stream, and updated the stream title to:

“Please don’t send more gifts. I’m going to eat lunch.”

Then Jiang Tian got up and walked to the living room, opening the door. No one was there, and no food either. Probably the delivery driver had preemptively marked it “delivered” to avoid lateness penalties.

Jiang Tian didn’t think much of it. After waiting a bit, the elevator opened—and he locked eyes with the delivery uncle.

Ssss—

The delivery uncle froze in surprise. He hadn’t expected to see the star student from his daughter’s school here. Then he glanced down at the delivery slip and saw the message:

“Streamer, carry me to higher rank.”

Delivery Uncle: “……”

Did… did he deliver to the wrong person?

Jiang Tian had no idea what was going on in the delivery man’s mind. He politely accepted the food and said with courtesy, “Thank you.”

Then he turned around and closed the door behind him, carrying the food that had been ordered by his online friend.

He walked through the warmly lit living room, filled with sunlight, and returned to his bedroom. The moment he pushed the door open, he felt alive again.

The chilled air inside the air-conditioned room wrapped around the tall and upright teen. A thin sheen of sweat clung to his neck, sliding down like crystal-clear dewdrops.

Sss—

Jiang Tian leaned back into his ergonomic chair, unwrapped the delivery bag of fried chicken and cola. He had only taken a couple of bites when he picked up his phone and replied to that online friend.

KIRA: Thanks for the food.

KIRA: I’ll help you log in and rank up later.

Simon: Oh, don’t mention it, streamer-gege!
Last time you bought me a gift, didn’t you? Next time, I’ll send you some merch from Akihabara!

Simon: By the way, can you carry my boss today?

KIRA: Hm?

Simon: I told you before—his family’s going through something, and he’s been in a bad mood.
I told him to play some games to relax. If you play with him, he’ll definitely enjoy it!

Jiang Tian: “……”

He paused, expression blank, sipped his cola, and took another bite of fried chicken—then suddenly remembered Simon had mentioned his boss was gay.

KIRA: That… might not be convenient.

Simon: ???

Simon: Why wouldn’t it be?!

Simon: Boss, aren’t you low on cash right now?
My boss is loaded!

KIRA: ……

Chewing slowly on a piece of chicken, Jiang Tian let out a sigh. He thought back to how he and Simon first met.

***
Two months ago—

Jiang Tian had injured his leg during a ball game and was resting at home, binging anime and playing games.

His childhood friend Lu Qiao had become fascinated with livestreaming, so they both started streaming together just for fun—to pass the time outside of studying. All in all, they’d only been doing it for about a month.

Since he was quite good at games, Lu Qiao suggested they open commissions while streaming.
Jiang Tian, worried that Lu Qiao might run into sketchy clients, also downloaded a commission app—just to see if there were any shady organ-harvesting scams floating around.

Unexpectedly, he ended up getting a client: a busy local office worker named Simon, who was always traveling and wanted someone to log into his account and help him rank up.

Jiang Tian’s account was already maxed out, and helping out occasionally wasn’t a big deal. He hadn’t planned to take payment.

But Simon insisted on ordering food for him—and Jiang Tian couldn’t turn him down without feeling awkward.

So he only accepted meals after helping, and even then only from anonymous, secure delivery services. The food was always something cheap from the university street—never more than 25 yuan.

Because of that, Simon might’ve misunderstood something—thinking he was a poor student who couldn’t even afford to eat.

Now Simon was determined to hook him up with some big business.

Simon: Boss, are you still there?

Simon: I’m adding my boss’s WeChat for you now!

Simon: [Shared contact: Afternoon Tea]

Simon: You can just call him “Chu-Ge.” If you keep him happy, I swear he’ll flood you with gold coins!

Jiang Tian: “…………”

Does your boss know what kind of matchmaking you’re doing behind his back?
