Chapter 45 - The Empress is a Hit!
She was a hit! The Empress was a hit!
In the following days, Long Yue, in her virtual persona as the Empress, spread across all the major video platforms.
Rumors about this Empress were everywhere. So said she could draw the vastness of the Immortal Realm in an ink-wash style with just a brush and paper. So said she single-handedly defeated dozens of Go masters with ease. And others said she was an unprecedented gaming genius, needing only one or two days at most to adapt and beco an expert from a complete newbie!
As everyone knows, netizens love to join in on the excitent. People couldn't help but be curious whether the rumors were true, and countless numbers of people, drawn by her fa, flocked to the stream.
For the past few days, Long Yue, under the title of the Empress, held court in her stream every day, accepting challenges from everyone in all sorts of fields.
The challenges ranged from the initial Go matches, to painting competitions, and later, even one-on-one duels in all kinds of gas.
No matter the ga, at the very beginning, she would always appear very unfamiliar with it, having the complete posture of a newbie touching a ga for the first ti. But after gradually familiarizing herself, she would progress at an extrely exaggerated speed, going from being dominated and defeated to winning with ease.
After that, it would be very difficult for the opponent to ever win against her again.
Once she lost a challenge, she would begin to repeatedly study all the relevant knowledge about that ga, cramming combo guides and highlight reels of gaplay.
Any highlight reel of gaplay she watched once, she could replicate and reproduce move for move.
From a newbie who didn't even recognize the in-ga skills, to later replicating various highlight-reel moves to counter-kill her opponents, she took less than half a day at her fastest! A gaming genius, just like in the rumors!
It was precisely with the support of her heaven-defying gaming talent and her perfect Empress persona that she beca a breakout hit. The tales and rumors of her deeds spread like wildfire online.
Over these few days, her stream beca more and more popular and lively, and her fan count skyrocketed as if riding a rocket.
Yesterday it was a hundred thousand fans, and looking at today, it had directly reached nearly two hundred thousand!
By now, the all-around strength and talent she displayed had almost completely won over everyone in the stream.
The crowd's initial mockery and doubt gradually transford into calls of praise and adoration.
At this point, regardless of whether she was a real Empress or just a fake persona, based on her almost omnipotent, empress-level performance, the crowd had already accepted her title of "Empress."
Of course, besides her superb talent and strength, there was another aspect that earned her the crowd's recognition of her "Empress" title.
That was her own insistence on proving herself as an Empress and her various behaviors that completely fit the persona.
When she first started streaming and called herself an Empress, people either just mocked her or paid it no mind, treating it as just a character setting that they heard and forgot.
However, regardless of how others questioned or mocked her, she would insist again and again that she was the Empress. Furthermore, the clumsiness she showed in various aspects and her hazy ignorance of reality were especially in line with the character setting.
What she displayed was a kind of natural, naive ignorance, not the kind that was intentionally artificial for the sake of entertainnt value. Ironically, this had an even better entertainnt effect.
This imdiately couldn't help but make the crowd in the stream feel as if she really was an Empress who had fallen from the Immortal Realm into the mortal world and didn't understand anything…
For example, one ti she got stuck in a wall in a ga and couldn't move. Completely at a loss for what to do, she asked the bullet comnts for help.
Soone in the bullet comnts told her: 【Press Alt F4 a few tis in a row, the ga bug will automatically be fixed.】
In the end, she actually believed it, and without the slightest hesitation, she followed the comnt and repeatedly pressed Alt F4, and the ga closed on the spot…
When the ga screen suddenly disappeared, she tilted her head with a blank expression, blinked dazedly, and was stunned for several seconds before she finally reacted.
“Hm? Where did This Empress's ga go?”
This scene, it must be said, made everyone in the stream roar with laughter.
After realizing she had been tricked, she angrily searched through the stream chat for the person who had posted that bullet comnt, which made the crowd roar with laughter even more.
By now, everyone had grown accustod to Long Yue's self-proclamation of "This Empress." The stream chat was filled with comnts starting with "Your Majesty the Empress," and all sorts of small gifts were being sent non-stop.
【Your Majesty the Empress, which ga are you planning to dominate these mortals in next?】
【Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress, will you scold please!】
【Your Majesty the Empress, how are you good at everything, you're so amazing!】
【Your Majesty the Empress, is there anything you can't do?】
【…】
“Thank you, thank you, you mortals, for the gifts you have sent This Empress. This Empress will rember your kindness in her heart!”
Looking at the nearly one hundred thousand viewers in the stream and the non-stop stream of gifts, Long Yue was grinning from ear to ear. She imdiately waved her hand grandly and promised:
“When the day cos that This Empress regains her cultivation, she will definitely not forget the help you mortals have given This Empress, and will bestow upon you the immortal fate you have dread of~!”
“Whatever you want, just speak up~”
【Really, Your Majesty the Empress? I want to get filthy rich!】
【Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress, I want to live forever!】
【Your Majesty the Empress, just casually give a Beauty Pill, just turn into a handso guy!】
【Your Majesty the Empress, can I have you? (heart emoji)】
【Your Majesty the Empress, I'm not greedy, I don't want wealth or immortality, just send to the Hehuan Sect~】
【…】
Long Yue watched the bullet comnts continuously scroll past on the screen with a smile on her face, generously promising each one:
“re gold, silver, wealth, and immortality are no difficulty for This Empress. Wanting to change your appearance is also not a difficult matter. This Empress has noted down all of your requests~”
“As for those of you who wish to enter the Hehuan Sect…”
Speaking to this point, Long Yue paused, her eyes narrowing slightly as she warned with a solemn expression:
“The Hehuan Sect is not the wonderful place you imagine. The demonic won there cultivate the unjust and immoral Joyful Union secret arts, and are most skilled at absorbing a man's vital essence and yang energy, acts which damage one's essence and life force!”
“An ordinary mortal, after just one or two dual cultivation sessions with a Hehuan Sect woman, will be sucked into a dried-up husk of skin and bones!”
“Even so, you still want to go?”
After speaking, the corners of Long Yue's mouth curved upwards slightly, revealing a teasing smile.
She had thought that these words would be enough to scare everyone into retreating in the face of difficulty, but she never expected that the stream chat would instead beco even more enthusiastic:
【Go, go, go! Definitely going!】
【Suck mine, suck mine!】
【A matter this dangerous? Everyone, stand back, let go first!】
【Are you kidding ? With my twenty years of Pure Yang Virgin Skill, I can withstand it at least ten tis!】
【Hmph, that's only because those Hehuan Sect sirens haven't t ! Otherwise, I'd definitely make sure she cos and never returns!】
【…】
Looking at the eager and impatient bullet comnts from the crowd, Long Yue couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust and confusion.
How is it that she suddenly can't understand the mortals of this world…
In the past, on the Immortal-Demon Continent, the mont the Hehuan sirens were ntioned, even the most lecherous n would be so scared they'd fear they couldn't avoid them fast enough. Yet these people were all incomparably heroic, eager to give it a try…
Are the n of this world all this brave…?
Lin Fan silently watched Long Yue interact with the bullet comnts in all seriousness, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was obvious. Everyone in the bullet comnts was just treating it as a joke, playing along with her and deliberately teasing her. In the entire exchange, she was the only one who was serious…
