Chapter 38 - The Empress Becos a Virtual Strear
“Alright, the virtual avatar setup is complete!”
After receiving the packaged virtual avatar art, Zhou Yan imdiately sent the data file to Long Yue’s computer and helped her debug the avatar image.
At this mont, a virtual fairy with silver hair and pale eyes, dressed in a Silver Moon immortal dress, appeared clearly on the screen.
Long Yue’s face was full of pleasant surprise, and she liked it very much.
The virtual avatar on the screen was especially lifelike when she maintained her empress posture, completely like a shrunken, cartoon version of her! As she blinked her eyes, the virtual avatar on the screen also blinked its eyes.
“She, she’s mimicking my movents! How magical!”
“Of course. It uses the cara for facial capture.”
Lin Fan pointed to the cara mounted on the computer screen and explained:
“All of your movents will be synchronized to the character avatar through the cara.”
Long Yue curiously moved closer to the cara, trying to turn her head and open her mouth in front of it. The virtual avatar on the screen really did follow her, turning its head and opening its mouth.
“It’s real!”
Long Yue couldn't help but let out a cry of amazent.
This thod of making the other party follow one's own movents was almost identical to the body-controlling immortal arts in the Immortal Realm that controlled others to mimic one's own actions.
The difference was, that kind of body-controlling immortal art required a dium. One either needed to stick a body-controlling talisman on the other person, or refine the other person into a puppet that was ntally connected to oneself.
At the very least, one needed to occupy the other's shadow to control the body through the shadow.
However, sitting in front of the computer, she didn't need to do anything, and the character on the screen could follow her movents!
“Hmph hmph, this isn’t ordinary facial capture. This is a high-end product I had a friend customize. You don’t need to manually switch expressions. As long as the cara captures your expression changes, the avatar will automatically switch to the corresponding expression!”
“There are over a dozen expression changes set in this avatar!” Zhou Yan added with a proud and smug look.
Generally, the expression changes of ordinary character avatars needed to be switched manually by the strear, but his version did not. The cara could recognize the strear’s expression and synchronize the avatar’s expression changes!
“Ooh! It can even mimic expressions!” When Long Yue heard this, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a shocked surprise.
This was much more amazing than those body-controlling immortal arts. Those body-controlling immortal arts couldn't control the other party to synchronize their own expressions!
“Here, your character persona profile.”
While Long Yue was imrsed in her shock, Lin Fan took out a character persona profile he had specially designed for her and handed it to her.
Every virtual strear more or less has so unique character settings, which are also each virtual strear’s unique characteristic or cute trait.
For example, the AI persona of the first generation of virtual strears, or others like lolis, cool older sisters, and various beast-girls. For this reason, he had specially drafted an exclusive character persona setting for her.
“What is this?” Long Yue took the profile curiously, her gaze quickly scanning over it, her fine brows furrowing slightly.
Lin Fan pointed to the character settings on the profile and explained:
“This is your character persona from now on. You are an Empress from the Immortal-Demon Continent who accidentally fell to the mortal world. After coming to the mortal world, you unfortunately lost all your cultivation and spiritual energy. In order to find a way back to the Immortal Realm and to survive, you were reborn as a virtual strear and are currently working hard to adapt to the new world.”
Long Yue: “…”
Listening to Lin Fan’s description, Long Yue’s eyes narrowed, and she shot him an annoyed glance.
“What do you an ‘this Empress’s character persona’? This Empress is the real deal, okay!”
She was originally the Empress of the Supre Sacred Heavenly Palace, but now she had to pretend to be an Empress from the Immortal Realm. What kind of situation was this…
“This character persona is great! It suits sister-in-law perfectly!”
Zhou Yan, at the side, couldn't help but praise it. From Long Yue’s beauty and temperant, he had always felt she had an otherworldly, out-of-place sense of a celestial fairy who had fallen to the mortal realm.
Coupled with her cluelessness about modern electronic devices and her lack of understanding of many worldly affairs, she seed even more like a fairy isolated from the world who had suddenly arrived in the mortal realm!
More crucially, her occasional use of ‘This Empress’ to refer to herself sounded exactly like she really was an Empress from the Immortal Realm! It completely fit the character setting!
“I think so too. This character persona will definitely suit her very well.”
Lin Fan gave Long Yue a teasing smile. Zhou Yan didn't know, but he was crystal clear in his heart. This wasn't so character persona he had co up with on a whim, but Long Yue’s real identity…
However, with the cover of being a virtual strear, no matter how outrageous the setting was, no one would suspect it was real. And this was her most natural and unique advantage! Other people’s character personas were fake, but she was a bona fide, real empress!
“Your Majesty the Empress, from now on when you stream, you don’t have to deliberately hide your identity or your verbal tics. Just continue to refer to yourself as ‘This Empress’.”
“Really? Won’t there be any trouble?” Long Yue asked, slightly worried.
Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble at all.”
“Even if you cast an immortal art in front of them, they won’t believe it’s real.”
“That’s right, sister-in-law! It’s just a character setting. Sotis you need to act in a way that fits the character setting. It’s no problem at all for you to call yourself ‘This Empress’!”
Hearing this, Long Yue looked at the profile of her empress persona in her hand, and an inexplicable flutter arose in her heart.
Previously, Lin Fan had repeatedly emphasized to her that she couldn't expose her identity outside. But now, if she beca a virtual strear, she could return to her forr identity as an Empress, no longer having to be concerned about other things, and be her true self again…!
She suddenly felt that this job might really be suitable for her!
Lin Fan saw a shining light of excitent in Long Yue’s eyes and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
In the past, this kind of look only appeared when she ate delicious food. Having looked at so many types of jobs, he had never seen her show this kind of expression before. Now, it was a rare sight to see her show interest in being a virtual strear.
To have excitent and interest in a job could be said to be the best motivation to persevere.
Lin Fan opened the streaming software, set up the streaming paraters and data, and prepared to run a test stream before she went live tomorrow.
“Empress, first, let’s co up with a title for tomorrow’s stream.”
As a new strear, a good stream title is the first step to attracting others and is extrely crucial.
“Mmm… stream room… title…”
Long Yue’s fine brows furrowed slightly. After thinking seriously for a mont, she suddenly thought of sothing. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she typed out the stream title on the keyboard, one key at a ti:
【The Palace of the Supre Sacred Heavenly Palace. All are welco to have an audience with This Empress.】
Lin Fan: “…”
Zhou Yan: “…”
Seeing this stream title, Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were montarily speechless.
What a novel and unique stream title…
But after thinking about it carefully, it seed there was nothing wrong with it. After all, her persona was the Empress of the Immortal Realm.
The stream room was equivalent to her Palace of the Supre Sacred Heavenly Palace. It was, contrary to expectation, surprisingly reasonable!
