Live streaming gas is great, but it feels a bit monotonous after a while. Recently, so kind-hearted fans suggested she could do so collaborations with others to expand her circle, or participate in various activities among virtual idols.
It's true, but Clara is an old hand at navigating the web and knows that the virtual idol community is a mixed bag. If the person she collaborates with has ulterior motives, such as bad-mouthing her behind her back, it can be quite annoying. Moreover, she always felt the gaming community was relatively pure, unlike so virtual idols who hype things up, engage in online romances, play with emotions, and make all kinds of insinuations to stir drama.
The only strear she is familiar with online is soone she t while gaming, and they got to know each other gradually. The other person is several years older than Clara, with 3-4 years of experience, also a gar, but they play a different genre focused on strategy and managent, while Clara specializes in action gas.
After thinking for a while, she decided to stop pondering and pulled up her friends list to send a ssage to the person.
[Hey Devil Sister, are you free now? I have so questions about doing collaborations.]
The other's virtual persona was a big demon with purplish-red hair. The mature and seductive appearance suggested through her profile picture, though the crescent-shaped horns on her head unmistakably marked her special identity.
"I'm here, I'm here, commanding my orc army to conquer lands right now. Ah, Lala, are you talking about collaborations? It's actually quite simple..."
After that, the person went on and on about how to collaborate, greet the other party's staff, make contact, and various points to pay attention to. It was clear that she was multitasking, playing the ga and explaining things to Clara, with sporadic shouts and calls heard in the background.
"Phew, it's over." Finally, a victorious exclamation ca from the other end, and the demon commander sister let out a sigh of relief.
Just when Clara was thinking about asking more questions, the other person seed to rember sothing in surprise.
"Lala, did you just say you wanted to collaborate? I just rembered this because last year, a friend advised to participate in more events or to sign with so managent companies. But I'm not fond of those managent guilds; they're too restricting and tend to have the potential to scam you. Plus, if it cos to legal battles, they're usually well-prepared, which is troubleso for soone like , who is alone in this."
"So, what do you think about starting a small project together? How about we set up a mini managent guild partnership? Later on, for collaborations, we could let our operators handle the contacts, so we don't have to worry too much about everything." The suggestion excited Clara.
The two discussed the issue for an entire night, tentatively deciding to try working together. If they were a good fit, they would proceed to register a mini guild.
"But when you think about it, just two people is still a bit lonely, right? Do you know anyone else, Lala? Real-life friends are fine too. They can join us in the next collaboration to spice things up. We can just play cards, chat, nothing too professional."
"Well... I don't really keep in touch with my classmates or friends much." Clara honestly didn't want her schoolmates to know about her online persona and activities, as the thought of being exposed was still daunting.
"Okay then, I'll think of so people I've collaborated with before and whose contact information I have. We can get four people together for a card battle next ti, which should make the stream more interesting."
"Card battles..." Clara thought of the popular ga genre; she played it occasionally but was far from an expert.
Over the next two days, Clara and 'Devil Big Sister' started preparing for the collaboration, organizing a rough schedule of events, planning little jokes to break the ice, and even developing secret phrases for prompting and reminders, as well as how to wrap up the session and so on.
"Ah... my head is going to explode. The one I contacted, her managent guild has scheduled her for another event, and now she can't make it at the last minute." Devil Big Sister's avatar flickered, transmitting a roar of frustration. If the fans ever heard the usually calm and steady 'virtual wife' let out such a sound, they would be quite surprised and impacted.
"Ah, what do we do? It's tonight already, we've sent out the announcent, even ntioned a 'mysterious guest' would attend," Clara was also caught by surprise.
"Boo-hoo, it looks like if it's really not possible, we'll have to cut it down to a three-person collaboration. That would make it seem sowhat bland and dull, after all the days I've prepared and the pre-heating I did in my own fan group," she said.
"It's okay, you'll just have to be more prepared next ti," Clara couldn't help but console her usually mature and reliable senior colleague, then couldn't help but ponder the matter herself, considering the fierce competition among virtual idols; for individual players like them, indeed, resilience was not strong.
Was there any solution, or a powerful external aid? Lying in bed, Clara started pondering.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling cleaned by the robot today, Clara's mind flashed with familiar faces one by one, finally pausing on a special figure. She picked up her personal terminal and flipped through it, landing on that quietly resting na.
Better not, she's not soone I can just bother anymore.
Thinking this, Clara put her hand down.
So ti passed, and it reached five in the afternoon; the sky gradually darkened. The collaboration was set for 7:30 p.m., and there wasn't much ti left.
"Phew, I feel like tonight is a bit dicey. The guest I invited doesn't talk much; it's going to be up to us two to lead," the avatar of the Demon Elder Sister flashed, followed by a sigh.
"Cards should still be fine; she loves this. She's the best card battler among all the people I know, just not famous online because she rarely mingles in these circles," the other person continued.
"If only we could have another guest. Otherwise, the previously arranged battle format, suddenly changed to three people, would have to leave one out each round, which isn't a great look."
As the Demon Elder Sister rambled on and bath sounds filtered through, Clara rolled over, picked up her personal terminal, and brought out the ssage she had edited and deleted before, then sent it.
Well, let's just try, maybe she'll agree.
Half a minute later, just as Clara was considering sending another ssage to say she was just joking and ant no disturbance, the other party replied.
Hexia: [So Clara really beca a virtual idol, huh? I'm free tonight and can co, but I probably can't appear in person, and my voice will need to be changed.]
Clara: [That's absolutely fine!]
Watching the ssage pop up on the screen, Clara leapt up and bumped her head on the ceiling, causing her pain. Then she crouched down, wincing, and rapidly typed on the projection keyboard to Hexia, replying with the detailed schedule and instructions.
And before they knew it, the ti ca to 7:15 p.m. The digital room for the collaboration had been opened by many spectators patiently waiting, and the screen now showed four figures seated at the table. Two were already lit up: Purple Lightning Lala and the Demon Elder Sister. The other two were still dark silhouettes, stirring anticipation.
