Among the numerous vulgar barrage comments, this particular comment quickly became the netizens' target.
[ Asking her to dance is not shameful; there's nothing indecent about it. ]
[ To act like a harlot yet pretend to be innocent, there's no such good fortune. ]
[ So slow. If it were up to me, I'd have started dancing already! ]
[ You're a low-level account, stop talking, just scram! ]
[ Mr. Martinez did tip with Crowns, just to make her dance; if you're unhappy, why not tip too, you pauper! ]
[ If you're broke, keep quiet. ]
Due to the Crown reward system, the quality of viewers entering Linda's live stream room varied widely.
There was a mix of audiences, and of course, there were those who enjoyed controversy.
When they saw a low-level account chatting, they immediately grew displeased and hurled insults at the user.
Linda saw this viewer speaking up for her like this, feeling touched yet also somewhat reluctant.
She quickly stepped in to mediate, saying, "Don’t quarrel; your presence in my livestream is already a form of support."
"I appreciate the person speaking up for me, but I won't perform a pole dance."
Meanwhile, inside the room, James's expression darkened as he read the barrage of messages from the viewers.
However, upon hearing Linda's statement, he displayed a semblance of surprise.
He didn't expect that Linda didn't care much for money.
In the face of generous tips, maintaining her principles was indeed commendable.
Previously, James had perceived Linda as materialistic, always dressed provocatively to attract wealthy individuals.
Now, it became evident that, despite her outward appearance, Linda had her own boundaries.
[ I'll ask you once more, will you dance or not? ]
Lumina City Mr. Martinez's message floated across the screen once more.
This time, Linda chose to ignore the message directly.
[ You're already a streamer. Stop pretending to be pure!" ]
[ Even if you act like a harlot, you must dance on the pole. With just a word from me, I could tank your stream popularity instantly! ]
Upon realizing Linda's disregard for his demands, Lumina City Mr. Martinez erupted in anger, spewing particularly harsh words.
In response, Linda's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, saying, "Watch your language. If you want to watch, stay; if not, leave!"
[ Alright, I hope you don't regret this! ]
[ Let's switch to another stream room; I'll take you to see some beauties! ]
Lumina City Mr. Martinez posted two more messages before abruptly leaving the stream room.
Shortly after, a platform-wide message scrolled across the screen.

In no time, the viewership in Linda's livestream plummeted dramatically, dropping from thirty thousand to just a hundred.
Watching the mass exodus of viewers, tears welled up in Linda's eyes. A mix of frustration and unspoken resistance was visible on her face as she continued singing.
Within minutes, only a dozen or so viewers remained in Linda's stream.
Seeing this dwindling number, Linda seemed to lose control of her emotions. Her tears, shaped like crystal, streamed down her cheeks, a sense of defiance mixed with sorrow.

At this juncture, a massive scrolling message appeared once more across the live stream platform.
A hundred Super Crowns!
The viewers in the stream room were utterly shocked!
For a single Super Crown, it equated to a thousand dollars.
A hundred indicated a significant sum of one hundred thousand dollars!
And the one tipping these 100 Super Crowns happened to be that low-level account from before.
Staring in disbelief at the hundred Super Crowns, Linda's expression was a mix of shock and incredulity.
She never anticipated such incredible generosity, receiving a direct gift of one hundred thousand dollars!
Despite Linda having garnered a loyal fanbase during her streaming career, her content remained ordinary and never suggestive or provocative.
Consequently, her monthly gifts tended to be minimal.
Gifts like the Super Crowns were an unprecedented occurrence in Linda's livestream.
Linda, with her big and teary eyes, could not believe that this was reality.
With James's tipping of a hundred Super Crowns, the stream room's popularity skyrocketed. The viewership jumped from a thousand viewers to over twenty thousand.
[ Who on earth is SuperSmith? ]
[ Dishing out ten thousand gifts like a boss! Truly impressive! ]
[ The one who called the low-tier account poor, please, reveal yourself! ]
[ Linda, with SuperSmith's support, looks like you belong to him tonight! ]
[ SuperSmith, I'm eighteen, young and dainty; please sponsor me! ]
[ SuperSmith, add me on Facebook; I'll come visit you tonight. ]
