Gloomy CEO X Holographic Male God (3): Super double standard little cutie

“Come on, Old Zhou, even if that voice is nice, it’s coming from a fat guy. Don’t you find that off-putting?”

A few friends nearby chuckled and said.

Zhou Qi didn’t explain either, moving his finger to drag the progress bar back to the front, tilting his ear to listen carefully.

The scruffy fat man on the screen asked, “Is it here to sign?”

The voice was so pleasant that even they, who were of the same sex, couldn’t help but sincerely say “not bad.” This was after they had seen the original owner’s appearance and then heard the voice; otherwise, they might have directly praised it.

Zhou Qi listened to it repeatedly several times, and only stopped when his friends around him, who had been listening all along, started teasing him.

Like, it’s so similar, no matter how you listen to it, it sounded just like the viral hit from years ago, 47.

47… Si Qi…

His eyes lit up, and he said to his friend, “Are you sure he’s the same Si Qi from back then?”

Friend: “Of course I’m sure. We’re all locals, and there are only a few people with the same name. Besides, he’s the same age as us. Who else could it be? Take a closer look, don’t the facial features look quite similar?” 

Zhou Qi directly said, “Send me the video.”

The people around him started joking: “Hey, are you serious? You can actually stand looking at this fat face? I’m about to throw up!”

Zhou Qi didn’t explain either, his smile somewhat mysterious, “I naturally have my uses.”

He still had the video he shot when he was bullying the original owner. If he looked for it, he should be able to find it. There was Si Qi’s voice in it.. Boys usually go through voice changes around the age of seventeen. When 47 became popular, he was still in college, and only three years had passed in between.

If Si Qi was 47, their voices should be the same…

This was a great opportunity. If he made good use of it, he could break free from the current career bottleneck and become a star that everyone admired…

“You rascal, what scheme are you hatching this time?”

The few friends beside him pointed at his expression and joked.

Always keeping an eye on the movements of the Child of the World, Xiu Xiu quickly reported to Si Qi: [Master, the Child of the World is up to no good again!]

Si Qi came out of the bathroom after his shower, a towel draped over his head, his hands wiping the damp ends of his hair. As he moved his arms, the loosely worn bathrobe inadvertently revealed the skin beneath, showing the outline of emerging muscles, with the beginnings of a four-pack on his abdomen.

He lifted his head, his pure black eyes covered by a layer of shimmering mist, exuding a captivating power. His three-dimensional features were stunning and exquisite; if he showed more expressions, they might be etched into one’s heart, making it unforgettable for a lifetime.

The foundation of his current body was no worse than that of his previous world’s original owner. The former had a flamboyant and ostentatious beauty, while this world exuded a graceful charm, making him appear handsome and likable.

He heard the sound of Xiu Xiu, gave a low “Hmm?”, and the little golden dragon lying in Si Qi’s consciousness space suddenly tensed up. After a moment, he broke free from the dazed feeling and blushed, saying with lingering fear: [Ah, ah, ah, Master, please don’t tease Xiu Xiu!]

Even Xiu Xiu would blush and have a racing heart if such a deep voice spoke so closely in his ear!

Si Qi laughed and said, [Is it really that exaggerated?]

[Of course it is!!] Xiu Xiu shouted.

Originally, the original owner’s voice had already received quality certification from millions of netizens. It was like a cello suddenly playing in the midst of a noisy and bustling market—deep and magnetic, lingering in the mind long after it had disappeared, making it hard to forget.

Now, not only did Si Qi continue the original owner’s abilities, but he also consciously added techniques when speaking, making each sentence particularly expressive and rhythmic, causing listeners to unconsciously want to keep listening, to hear more and more.

It’s like the original owner’s body was a precious instrument well-maintained under the original owner’s care. After Si Qi took over, he completely brought out the instrument’s most perfect side, playing a stunning melody.

A good instrument also needs a skilled musician to operate it to achieve the most perfect effect.

Si Qi stood in front of the wardrobe and looked around, realizing that the clothes the original owner had bought were no longer suitable to wear. He casually threw on a shirt and headed out, planning to buy some clothes that fit.

Xiuxiu was muttering in Si Qi’s ear, saying that the Child of the World had already started to have bad ideas. Why was it that every time the World Consciousness chose a Child of the World, they were always such bad seeds? Wouldn’t it be better to have more Children of the World like Yuan Lang from the ABO world?

Si Qi smiled and said: [The world consciousness has never chosen people based on character, but on the results. You can imagine that if people in the future want to send something to the ancient times that can promote the development of civilization, but do not want to change the course of history too much, will they naturally choose the emperor, generals, and merchants among the superiors, and let them get this golden finger when they are young, or will they deliberately support another kind-hearted and gentle citizen who has not left a name in history, was defeated by the superiors in the middle of the journey, and is reluctant to hurt others?]

Xiu Xiu pondered for a moment and said with great frustration, [They will choose the future leaders who will rise to power, rather than the failed good citizens who disappear halfway.]

Si Qi smiled and said, [Look.]

In matters that could significantly impact the future of the world, the divine lord did not care how innocent one or two innocent victims were. He did not mind how ugly the people he helped were, as long as they could help him promote the development of the world, even if it involved using predatory means.

Xiu Xiu was helpless: [Alright, then how about Xiu Xiu goes and deletes the bullying video from the Child of the World’s hands? At worst, we won’t be his stepping stone anymore.]

Si Qi shook his head: [If he doesn’t find trouble with me, he’ll eventually find trouble with someone else, stepping on others to rise. The World Consciousness will keep giving him opportunities.]

Standing in the clothing store, Si Qi took out a few pieces of clothing to match the sizes and went to the fitting room to try them on. He thought to himself: [Since that’s the case, it would be better if he brought them to me himself, just to go against me.]

Xiu Xiu, sensing something, asked: [Master, are you referring to the Lord God?]

Si Qi smiled slightly, [It’s him—it’s only natural for me to protect the person I like.]

Quickly changing clothes, Si Qi opened the fitting room door. With thoughts of Chu Feng in his mind, a faint smile of happiness hung on his face, making him even more charming than usual.

Several customers who were picking out clothes in the store turned their heads instinctively when they heard the door open. Their eyes, which should have just glanced over, were now fixed on Si Qi’s face, filled with astonishment. One by one, they subconsciously covered their mouths, their gazes glued to Si Qi, unwilling to look away for even a second.

Si Qi felt a bit embarrassed under the intense gaze and could only pretend not to see it as he walked towards the cashier: […It seems the effect of that beauty-enhancing pill is a bit too good.]

The original owner was already quite good-looking, having always been the school heartthrob during his school days. After losing weight, not only did his facial features return to their original state, but Si Qi also took pills from the cultivation world to mitigate the physical effects of rapid weight loss. This made his already stunningly beautiful face even more exquisite and eye-catching, to the point where saying he was extraordinarily handsome was no exaggeration.

Moreover, Si Qi was very good at dressing up. The clothes he chose were of high quality, and on his model-like figure, he could easily be on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Don’t even mention his demeanor, which had been ingrained in his bones after traversing countless worlds. Walking down the street, he turned heads at a 100% rate.

The store instantly fell into silence; no one wanted to break the dreamlike scene with a sound at that moment.

Si Qi walked up to the cashier and said he wanted to check out. It was fine if he didn’t speak, but once he did, that deep, melodious voice was like a summer spring pouring into the heart of a female customer, causing her body to tremble violently!

She gasped in surprise, her previously restrained emotions boiling over in an instant!

Unfortunately, after Si Qi finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else, leaving the girl who had been staring at him closely feeling very disappointed. Reluctantly, she watched Si Qi walk away with the paper bag, and reflexively grabbed her phone, frantically pressing the shutter button. She saved a dozen burst shots, capturing the entire process of Si Qi walking past her and then turning to leave. In every photo, from every angle, he looked so perfect!!

More importantly, he had the same magnetic voice as her idol…

The girl, excited, hugged her phone and spun around in the store, while her friend watched her with amusement, saying they never knew she was such a fangirl.

With excitement glimmering in her eyes, she whispered, “You know what…” That was her favorite online idol!!

She quickly opened the blogging app with her fingers, posted the photo on her social account, and added a caption: [Saw a super handsome guy!! Even more handsome than a star!!! And his voice is super magnetic, I almost thought he was my family’s God 7!!! Why didn’t I record a video and capture his voice right away ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!]

Before long, someone commented below: [Damn, is there really someone who looks like this?]

[I don’t see a trace of a beauty filter, could this be an unedited photo?? Oh my… this skin is too good! Like milk!]

[Just by looking at his aura, you can tell he comes from a good background; ordinary people can’t create this kind of vibe]

[He’s basically a walking male god]

[Although I don’t know how his voice is, just looking at his face, you can tell it’s definitely not bad]

[Why did the blogger only post a photo and not go up to ask him his name? What’s his social media account? I want to follow him (grinning)]

The person in the photo was too good-looking. The blog post, which was just published not long ago, quickly caught the attention of netizens. Many people saved the photo, sent it to their friends, or directly reposted it. As a result, the already highly discussed post attracted even more attention…

[Don’t you think this outfit is quite sophisticated? For example, that shirt, with its monochrome scheme and a touch of stunning detail, is trendy without losing any handsomeness. It has a noble feel to it, probably how a prince would look in casual wear.]

[If these photos were dynamic videos, it would be perfect. As a photographer with twelve years of experience, I can assure you that the person in these pictures would be even more charming in real life, not less.]

[Waaah, I came here because I saw God 7 tag. If God 7 really looked like this, my life would be complete, waaah waaah waaah]

[I don’t care, from now on, in my heart, God 7 will look like this! I won’t listen to anyone who tries to convince me otherwise!!]

Si Qi was unaware of the online commotion and continued shopping for clothes. He always shopped quickly, able to roughly gauge how clothes would look on him just by scanning the shelves with his eyes. In half an hour, he had picked out his outfits for the season and, without wasting any time, took a taxi straight home.

In the car, he closed his eyes to rest, looking at the electronic documents and exam regulations that Xiu Xiu had downloaded into his mind.

Xiu Xiu, who had been quiet until then, suddenly stood up, wagged its tail, and clenched its tiny fists, looking very indignant.

Seeing this, Si Qi understood: [The Child of the World has started to act?]

Xiu Xiu, puffed up with anger, said: [He just found the video of the original owner from back then and was watching it while laughing! Xiu Xiu is so angry!!]

This was to compare the original owner’s voice in the two videos to confirm if it was really him. Si Qi said: [Don’t be angry, the master will teach him a lesson later.]

Xiu Xiu huffed indignantly, [But Xiu Xiu’s little fists are clenched now!]

Seeing this, Si Qi thought for a moment and got an idea, mischievously saying, [I remember the Child of the World streams games every night?]

Xiu Xiu, who had been a great partner with Si Qi through so many worlds, immediately started to grin mischievously, [Xiu Xiu understands! Xiu Xiu knows what to do now~~ hehehe]

Back home, Si Qi sorted the clothes by color and put them in the washing machine in two batches. Then, at the scheduled time, he opened the livestream and started playing games.

The bullet comments popped up all at once.

“Ahhh!! It’s that time of day again that I look forward to the most!!”

“God 7, I love you!!”

“Is God 7 teaming up with the cutie today? I see he’s online too~~”

“I super love the cutie, boohoo he’s so adorable.”

The “little cutie” that the fans were talking about referred to Xiuxiu, who had been teaming up with Si Qi to play games these past few days.

As an artificial intelligence, Xiu Xiu entered the online world like a fish returning to water. His gaming skills were off the charts, and he had never held Si Qi back. Occasionally, he showcased some amazing moves, unintentionally stunning the entire audience, which had made him extremely popular among the tech-savvy viewers.

However, despite his image as a top-notch player, Xiu Xiu often surprised everyone with his adorable and contrastingly playful character actions. Whenever he got the chance, he flirted and acted cute with Si Qi, asking Si Qi to praise him. His charming demeanor has won over many viewers, who found Xiu Xiu irresistibly likable!

Moreover, when Xiu Xiu played games, he was particularly well-behaved. Whenever something good happened, the first person he thought of was Si Qi. He was a typical superfan who would do anything for his idol, practically willing to give up everything for Si Qi. Naturally, the fans affectionately nicknamed him “Little Cutie.” He dominated 47’s spot for several days without anyone complaining, and people actually wanted to keep watching.

Unfortunately, Xiu Xiu logged in earlier than 47 today, and it seemed like he had been in the game the whole time. Fans could only regretfully give up on the idea of continuing to watch the 7-Xiu Xiu duo and instead cheerfully watch Si Qi’s livestream with other random teammates.

Meanwhile, on Xiu Xiu’s side.

Xiu Xiu was causing trouble for the Son of the World, Zhou Qi.

Like 47, Zhou Qi also streamed from the evening until dawn, but he started an hour earlier than 47, streaming from 5 PM to midnight.

He was considered a semi-technical player. Although he didn’t have 47’s naturally excellent vocal advantage, he was smart, knew how to talk, and understood how to create a lively atmosphere in the livestream. After graduating, he worked as a streamer for two years and gathered over a million fans, which was quite an achievement.

It was just that today, he didn’t know if it was bad luck or what, but after opening the live stream, he played three games in a row, and each time he was secretly ambushed. One bullet to the head and he was gone just like that.

Today was Sunday, the day he usually carried his fans to rank up, and it was also the time when he got the most views of the week. For several consecutive games, his fans were doing well, but he, the one carrying them, got taken out first. This was really embarrassing, and he was mocked by the audience as a noob.

Because he was carrying fans to rank up, he couldn’t just leave them behind and queue up for the next round after dying. So, all the viewers in the live stream had to watch his fans play the game through his death perspective. This was the most awkward segment in game streaming.

The first time was fine, Zhou Qi was able to keep up the flow, the second time was also okay, he could make the atmosphere very lively with his words, but the third time was a failure again, not to mention Zhou Qi was angry, his fans also started to have opinions, in front of so many people in the live broadcast room, they said to him “what’s wrong with you, am I leading you or are you leading me”, Zhou Qi was embarrassed, but he couldn’t get angry in public, so he quickly smiled and said: “I’m sorry, I’m a bit unlucky today, how about I lead you next time, today I’ll just team up with a random stranger.”

Fans were still fans; even if they felt uncomfortable, they wouldn’t go too far. They just grumbled a bit and let Zhou Qi leave the team and play by himself.

Zhou Qi sat outside the camera, gritting his teeth for a while, took a sip of water to clear his throat, and then smiled and said, “Let’s continue to the next round…”

Before he could finish, the bullet screen suddenly exploded.

“Ahhh, it’s Little Cutie!!”

“Oh my, how did Little Cutie end up here?”

Zhou Qi: ?

He thought carefully and confirmed that he hadn’t heard this name in the influencer circle. He asked, “Little Cutie? Seems like he’s quite famous?”

The audience immediately chimed in, saying, “Little Cutie is a fan of God 7 livestream!”

“Super skilled!”

“Especially cute!!”

“Also very well-behaved!”

Combining the audience’s comments, Zhou Qi understood the whole situation and realized that this so-called “little cutie” was the passerby who had become famous these past few days for playing games with 47. He laughed and said, “Oh really? What a coincidence, looks like we can definitely win this game.”

He opened the voice chat and greeted the person on the other end, “Hello, little cutie.”

Xiu Xiu stood there, unmoved.

Zhou Qi waited for a long time but still didn’t get a response, so he couldn’t help but say again, but the other side seemed to not hear it.

His smile was about to break, and he asked, “Hello, can you hear me?”

Then he said to the audience, “You call him ‘Little Cutie’?”

Could someone with this personality really be cute??

Audience: “Of course, he’s Little Cutie.”

“He never talks.”

“Don’t worry, he can hear you.”

Zhou Qi could only grit his teeth and team up with this mute teammate.

Originally, their streamers were doing game live broadcasts, especially this kind of random team-ups with strangers, where communication and interaction were the most important. Otherwise, awkward solo commentary would make the show quality very poor.

But the teammate Zhou Qi was currently dealing with was just like this—didn’t talk, didn’t pay him any mind, yet the audience still loved to watch. The atmosphere simply didn’t allow him to leave the team on his own, it was ridiculous.

Zhou Qi could only chat with the audience while playing the game, and then talk and laugh with that teammate “Little Cutie” who would never respond to him and treated him like air.

Where was this guy cute? He was simply infuriating… he couldn’t help but grumble in his heart.

Then, the next second, with a bang, the character he was controlling suddenly collapsed, and the screen fell into a black-and-white state.

Zhou Qi slammed his fist on the table, extremely annoyed.

Sniped again, and he was hiding in a house, yet he could still be sniped. What were the odds of that? Was he being targeted by the god of misfortune?!

He opened the voice chat and said to Xiu Xiu, “I’m dead, come over and loot my body, the enemy is probably on the second floor at around nine o’clock.”

Xiu Xiu ignored him, came over to loot his body, and left, treating him like a silent corpse.

Fans watching Xiu Xiu’s perspective were amused, saying, “zq is having such bad luck today, hahaha.”

“Don’t leave the team, I want to see the little cutie show off their skills.”

Zhou Qi frowned as he looked at the barrage of comments on the screen, wanting to leave but unable to, so he could only endure and wait.

He observed Xiu Xiu’s actions and found that while the guy was indeed annoying, his skills were undeniably strong. His movements were smooth and fluid, without a hint of hesitation, and during battles, he was so precise it seemed like he was using cheats. However, someone using cheats could be easily spotted through the camera, but Xiu Xiu didn’t give off that impression. He was purely strong, undeniably strong.

He was just about to praise Little Cutie for being amazing when he saw a viewer in the comments saying with a grin, “For the past few days, Little Cutie has always teamed up with God 7, always surviving to the end with God 7 or sacrificing for him. This is the first time we’re seeing Little Cutie’s perspective.”

“Haha, luckily zq’s skills aren’t as flashy as God 7’s, otherwise we wouldn’t have the chance to see this scene!”

Suddenly, Zhou Qi’s forehead veins bulged from the weak chicken’s operation. He couldn’t say anything, feeling stifled inside.

He probably really hit a rough patch today. First, he died three times after landing and was carried by fans to gain points. Then, he teamed up with a small influencer, but the audience didn’t agree to him leaving the team. He was just a spectator for four consecutive games, making him unsure whether this was a game live stream or a movie screening.

Watching as the audience’s discussions gradually shifted away from him, completely engrossed in admiring the little cutie’s amazing moves, and then fervently watching him kill all the enemies to claim the championship of the battlefield, the atmosphere in the livestream was extremely lively. Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and said to the little cutie, “How about we continue to the next round?”

He sent a team invitation, and the little cutie did not refuse, so they started the second round.

Then,

Bang! A sniper rifle hit his head, the screen turned black and white, and he was once again taken out as soon as he landed.

Zhou Qi was so furious that he cursed loudly, “Damn! Who just landed and got a fully equipped sniper rifle! This is too unfair!”

And why, when he was standing with his teammates, did the sniper choose to shoot him instead of his teammates? What kind of bad luck was this!!

The audience couldn’t stop laughing with schadenfreude as he, in a fit of frustration, was once again forced to watch the “little cutie” player perform an incredible play from start to finish, without pressing a single key for over twenty minutes.

Zhou Qi was a bit on the verge of a breakdown. He said, “If the next match goes this badly, I’m quitting the team.”

The audience chuckled and comforted him, saying it wasn’t his fault, just that he was incredibly unlucky.

Perhaps hearing the audience’s discussion, in the next match, Zhou Qi didn’t die upon landing, which finally relieved him, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He performed normally, following his pro teammate and picking off two enemies. Then, during the final circle, an enemy appeared in his view, so he quickly raised his gun, lay down, and locked on the target.

The usually silent little cutie suddenly spoke, using text.

[Don’t shoot]

Zhou Qi glanced at him but didn’t pay any attention.

The enemy was right in front of him, what was he waiting for to shoot?

Pressing the F key, the bullet accurately hit the enemy’s body, taking away half of his health despite the armor’s defense.

The audience was puzzled and didn’t understand why the little cutie said that. Suddenly, a grenade was thrown down from the second floor, hitting him directly.

The character in the scene was blown into the air and fell helplessly to the ground, his blood vessels emptied and he was instantly killed. The enemy, who had lost half his health, quickly rushed over to loot the body, using the items in Zhou Qi’s bag to fully restore his health. He even took the bullets from the bag to the second floor and gave them to his teammate there.

Zhou Qi was momentarily stunned and blurted out, “Oh no, he took the sniper bullets!”

The little cutie who had been sweet-talking and acting cute towards 47 suddenly exploded like they had taken a bomb, typing furiously and ranting non-stop: [You idiot! I told you not to shoot, but you had to! Just because you have more bullets, huh? Are you happy now that you’re dead??]

[There’s a sniper rifle on the other side, but no bullets. I told you to hide properly and go up to him, but you had to show off, even giving him bullets and medicine. You’re really the worst at everything, the number one dad-ruiner!]

Zhou Qi was momentarily stunned by the criticism and was just about to sort out the logic when the little cutie player on the other side continued to scold:

[You ruined a game we were supposed to win. How did you even get to the 4000-point rank with this level of play? Did you hire a booster??]

[You died as soon as you landed, and now that you finally haven’t died, you’re dragging me down. What are you doing?]

Zhou Qi was completely dumbfounded. He forced a smile and said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect anyone to be on the second floor. You could have warned me.”

[Have I not reminded you yet? I already told you not to shoot, can’t you read the words? You just think you’re so awesome, doing whatever you want without caring about your teammates’ opinions. If you’re so good, why are you playing in a team? You just have to come out and cause trouble for others!]

As the audience watched, the little cutie, who had already sneaked up behind the sniper, was suddenly ambushed by enemies coming up the stairs from outside. In a split second of emergency, he managed to jump out of the window using his incredible positioning skills, and despite the firepower suppression from the two enemies above, he somehow made it to the opposite house in one breath, leaving everyone stunned!

Just at the moment when the adrenaline was surging and it was thrilling to watch, Little Cutie was able to search for materials while furiously criticizing the useless teammate zq with lightning-fast fingers, making the audience burst into laughter.

Although zq, who was being scolded, was a bit pitiful, given how much zq had messed up, they could understand Little Cutie’s feelings at that moment. Even though they were zq’s fans, they ended up praising Little Cutie’s skills instead, saying that it was amazing that he could escape in such a situation.

Zhou Qi, who claimed to be a technical streamer, was now being criticized on a technical level, getting slapped in the face with facts, and could only swallow his anger, letting the little cutie scold him.

After the little cutie finished searching the house and sneaked out the back door, he had an intense battle of wits and courage with two enemies. He managed to defeat them despite being at a disadvantage, killing the enemies who had both long-range and close-range attacks, turning the tables and earning the audience’s admiration, who couldn’t help but say “666.”

The audience was relishing the earlier thrilling scene, laughing and saying, “When Little Cutie teamed up with God 7 before, you really couldn’t tell he had such a bad temper.”

“It’s normal for experts to have a temper; getting tricked so many times would make anyone unhappy.”

“Little Cutie is so impressive, yet he was still led by God 7. You can imagine just how amazing God 7 is.”

“47 truly deserves the title of King of Games.”

After being scolded by “Little Cutie” and then having the team disbanded unilaterally, Zhou Qi looked at the screen full of 4747s and was extremely annoyed.

He cleared his throat lightly and said, “Actually, 47 and I were high school classmates.”

The barrage paused for a moment,

then the screen was instantly filled with a frenzy of exclamation marks.

“What???”

“Is this for real? Don’t tell me you’re just trying to ride the coattails of 7’s popularity.”

Zhou Qi said seriously, “I really am a classmate of 47, and I know his real name. We used to share a dorm room, and we even had bunk beds. After all, we were roommates, so I can still recognize his voice.”

The audience was all excited: “Wow! This is amazing!”

“God 7 never talks about real-life things online, he’s so mysterious.”

“I said God 7’s voice sounds so young, he must have still been in college when he debuted back then!! Sure enough!!”

“Hurry up and tell us! What is God 7 really like? Is he as handsome, cool, and from a privileged background as he usually seems, and is he a top student?!”

Zhou Qi lowered his eyelids, hiding the malice in his eyes from the camera.

In the past, Si Qi was indeed as the netizens described—handsome, suave, from a good family background, and a top student.

But,

So what.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl into a malicious smile. Zhou Qi covered the lower half of his face with his hand, and when he revealed his face to the camera again, he had already replaced it with a sighing expression. Shaking his head, he said, “Hey, about things on the internet, just take a look and don’t take them seriously. Otherwise, it’s easy to get disillusioned.”
