With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Since you've participated in this activity, you should accept any reasonable punishment. Don't be a sore loser.

Yeah, don't be a sore loser on the other side.

[For these kinds of events, punishments sometimes include removing makeup or turning off beauty filters, and everyone complies. No special exceptions here.]

If you can't handle the challenge, then don't participate in the event. It's already being streamed live, why hide anything?

[Could it be that I'm really not good-looking enough?]

If Shennong's face weren't so good-looking, he'd probably lose a lot of fans if he showed up here today.

Don't be too hard on the streamer. They're colleagues, so it's fine. You see them all the time.

[What's with all the talk about difficulties? Shouldn't you know these things if you're here to participate? Don't just reap the benefits without contributing anything!]

[Hey streamer, if you can get Shennong to show his face, I'll gift each of you a World Castle! I want to see what Shennong looks like today.]

[The boss is so generous! Actually, I'd also like to know what Shennong looked like.]

Since you're doing live streaming, relax and open up. If you can't relax, you're not really suited for this kind of work.

[Streamer, it's your business to suggest a punishment, whether he shows his face or not is his decision. Anyway, as long as you dare to suggest it, I'll definitely send you a World Castle today.]

Seeing that the atmosphere in the live stream was getting lively, Achen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll listen to the boss. Since I participated in this event and it was the bosses who supported me to win the mini-game, I'm going to ask for it. After all, without the bosses' support, I wouldn't be where I am today. Okay, I'll definitely fulfill the bosses' wishes today!"

"Brother Shennong, the punishment my livestream boss proposed is for you to show your face, is that okay?" Achen asked.

The chat in Shennong's live stream was also discussing this matter. While Shennong's die-hard fans were eager to know what he looked like, most of their comments supported his decision and wishes, and they wouldn't force him. One prominent fan even said that if he really didn't want to show his face, she would send him gifts and red envelopes as an apology, and that would be the end of it.

This approach is certainly feasible. The purpose of live streaming is to gain fans and make money. Under normal circumstances, unless there's a holiday, streamers won't make things difficult for each other. Even the fans, once they see the streamer sending gifts and apologetic red envelopes, won't cause any more trouble.

After Achen finished speaking, Shennong's live stream paused for a moment. Shennong didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere became tense.

Is the streamer too scared?

[I knew this streamer was ugly, yet he still had the nerve to participate in the event. If I didn't agree, it would be an admission that he's ugly, and I'm probably afraid of losing a lot of fans after he shows his face.]

[Some crazy dogs who are unhappy in real life really like to chase and bite. Is someone missing from their family?]

What would your parents do if you had an epileptic seizure here?

[He's already banned. This bastard always uses alternate accounts to smear streamers.]

[It would be great if the platform could add a function to directly block IP addresses; otherwise, it's impossible to control this mad dog.]

"I didn't expect I actually have haters. Don't be angry about this, viewers. Their attacks don't hurt me much. After all, I'm not ugly, haha. My attack power is zero. Allow me to be narcissistic for a bit, haha." Shennong finally spoke up, first comforting the viewers in the live stream, "Actually, I'm not against showing my face. It's just that I'm a bit of a fan. I didn't think about showing my face directly when I first started live streaming. I was just too embarrassed."

"When there are no cameras, you can be more comfortable saying whatever you want."

"Since I lost the game with Brother Chen on the other side, I'll accept the punishment. Let me make it clear first, even if I show my face today, I can't guarantee that I'll show my face every time I stream in the future."

【Ahhhhh, Nong-ge, are you sure?】

[Are we really about to witness history?] [I feel like the streamer is an "i" person now, and so am I! Who could know from behind the screen that I'm actually an "i" person pretending to be an "e" person? If you met me in real life, I wouldn't dare say more than a few words; it's so embarrassing.]

Is that mad dog still in the live stream? Watch closely, our streamer is completely unfazed by your attacks. Don't hide behind the screen and get defensive.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll adjust the camera."

"Actually, when I first bought live streaming equipment, I also bought a camera, but because of my personality, I was a little embarrassed and never used it."

"Now, this camera can finally be used. Otherwise, I would have sold it secondhand, and maybe I could have made some money back."

[A thrifty and hardworking livestreamer, can you tell?]

[Waiting anxiously!]

Three minutes later, Shennong turned on the camera.

It seems the settings weren't right, as the photo captured a large, close-up of a face. Of course, this was an angle he deliberately chose.

Today's event was meticulously prepared, and when his fairly good-looking face, enhanced by beauty filters, appeared on the screen, it naturally caused the fans in the live stream to scream.

The wealthy woman in Achen's live stream across the street immediately gifted both live streams with the World Castle effect, instantly filling them with special effects that seemed to dazzle the eyes.

Not to mention Shennong's live stream, where his die-hard fans are constantly recharging and sending gifts, and the gifts they're sending right now are obviously quite large.

Because the camera is now on, Shennong can no longer express his emotions as freely as before. He has to manage his expressions at all times and doesn't dare to laugh too wildly.

He faced the camera and repeatedly thanked the fans who sent him gifts.

After he and Achen finished their live stream, he immediately turned off his camera. This action proved that he really cared about people, causing the fans in the live stream to wail and ask him when he would turn his camera back on next.

Some fans said they had already recorded the screen, so even if he didn't turn it on, they would still have a video to enjoy.

"Since the viewers have requested it, I'll turn it on occasionally during future live streams, but I probably can't keep it on the whole time," Shennong said.

This answer alone was enough to satisfy the fans.

Before long, video clips of Shennong's face appeared on various platforms. Of course, the rapid rise in popularity was inseparable from the promotion by the company behind him.

Shennong couldn't stop smiling when he saw the flowing water today.

After the live stream ended, staring at his face in the mirror, he never expected that showing his face could be so damaging. It seems he really needs to take better care of himself in the future.

[Host, Shennong still doesn't have any of your old photos.] 997 said, [I really don't know when he got them, or who gave them to him.]

To 997's surprise, this time A-Zhuang gave a precise answer: "It should be related to him, I guess."

[Who?] 997 was surprised.

He's been with the host the whole time; is there anything he's overlooked? (End of Chapter)
