Unfilial disciple, do not ruin your master's dream of ascension and peaceful life.

The next day, Saturday—

"Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Yinqiu looked completely innocent.

"...It's nothing."

Qian Jing's feelings were complicated.

He went to the bathroom and carefully checked his towel and bath towel. Sure enough, he found his silly apprentice's hair mixed in with them, and even two curly hairs that weren't hair stuck to them. This kid really had been using his towel to dry himself... and there was still a slightly fragrant smell on it.

He hesitated for a moment, but still threw the towel in the trash can and decided to buy a new set and lock it in the closet.

Ye Yinqiu went to the kitchen to cook. In order to "protect her master's health", she would find opportunities to curry favor with him every weekend. It has to be said that she is essentially a very virtuous and family-oriented girl.

"Master, breakfast is ready!"

"Okay... Hey, Qianmo! Come out for dinner!"

No response.

"Qianmo? Is she still sleeping in? I'll go wake her up."

Qianjing kicked open the bedroom door of her brat and went in. She found Qianmo sitting on the corner of the bed, half-dressed and staring at her phone.

The person on the phone is a live streamer from Huyu TV, a popular beauty blogger who is enthusiastically reviewing and promoting cosmetics. She is very popular among young women, which is not surprising.

But Qianmo looked a little strange.

She stared wide-eyed at the screen, not blinking, oblivious to the drool dripping from her mouth, as if she had lost her soul.

"Qianmo?"

“…………”

"Hello!"

Qianjing flicked her forehead, and she snapped out of her daze.

"What... um... hey? You stinky bro? What are you doing in my room!"

"I was about to ask you the same thing, did you go crazy from watching the live stream? Aren't you going to come out for breakfast?"

"Breakfast...? Huh? It's morning!?"

Qianmo was shocked, and Qianjing was also puzzled. This child had been watching the live stream blankly all night without even realizing it?

Qianjing left her sister's room, turned on her phone, and opened the Haijing City official WeChat account.

Several new accidents involving fatigued driving were reported today. Several young people collapsed on the street, possibly related to staying up late and heatstroke. Take precautions when traveling.

"...Tsk, things are getting complicated."

……

……

After finishing breakfast, Ye Yinqiu plunged into the live broadcast room. Today was another collaborative live broadcast.

However, this collaboration wasn't with Peach Moon Fairy; instead, the operators of Tiger Fish TV sent over three top streamers, all from the gaming section. Since collaborating with one person was the same as collaborating with three, she agreed without much thought.

"Hi everyone, I'm your friend Quinn."

"I am Ah Shuang."

"I'm Wei Tian, ​​hello little sister Hua Songchun."

They all had their cameras on; one was a chubby guy, one was a very chubby guy, and one was an old chubby guy. Are all male game streamers chubby?

"Greetings, seniors. I am Ye—ah, Hua Songchun, the acting sect leader of the Fengling Sect. What games are we playing today?"

"Fall Guys? I can play it while slacking off." "Eh, I want to play the Kantai Collection summer event." "Then Fall Guys it is."

And so, the delightful collaborative live stream began.

Everything went very smoothly.

These three are veteran streamers with strong stage presence and conversational skills. No matter what game they play, they always create entertaining content and can interact with the audience at the right time. They have garnered a lot of donations through their banter and have also brought Ye Yinqiu a surge in popularity.

And their stamina is simply astonishing. They start their stream at 9 AM, skip lunch, engage in intense competition all afternoon, and then stream until 10 PM without eating dinner. Even the chat is filled with comments like, "Such stamina!", "Didn't Brother Kui say he was going to slack off?", and "Can Sister Xiaohua keep up?"

Ye Yinqiu was really struggling to keep up.

She considered herself to be a person with plenty of energy, but staring at the screen all day long, engaging in high-intensity gaming and interaction, with almost no time to eat or drink... it was indeed too much to handle.

After the live stream ended, Ye Yinqiu collapsed onto the bed, too exhausted to even wash up, and fell asleep immediately.

The second day was the same, still a collaboration with the three of them. Fairy Peach Moon did not participate because she was on another platform.

This time, the three of them spent the whole day building on Ye Yinqiu's Minecraft server. Their house-building speed was comparable to that of a machine script, and Ye Yinqiu couldn't keep up at all.

She was really exhausted from the live stream, which lasted until 1 a.m., so she made up an excuse to end it early, while the three brothers continued streaming... Are they even human?

On the third day, the number of people even increased, as the platform brought in more streamers. These streamers were all frighteningly energetic. They seemed tireless when playing games, their eyes never hurt even after staring at the screen for a long time, and they were always smiling energetically on camera.

Ye Yinqiu was really starting to feel overwhelmed. It was 5 p.m. now, and at this rate, the show would be airing until late at night.

"That's enough for today, I'm tired"—that's what she was about to say...

"I...can't take it anymore..."

One of the streamers involved in the collaboration, Quinn, suddenly stopped controlling his character.

"Let me out..."

In the camera footage, he suddenly began to convulse inexplicably, his body appeared blurry, and his voice started to sound electronic.

"Enough...enough! Let me out! Let me out! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I don't want to do this anymore!!!! Aa ...

He frantically pounded on the camera—no, it was less like pounding on the camera and more like pounding on the live stream screen! It was as if a desperate prisoner was frantically shaking the iron bars of a prison!

The other two froze as well. Ye Yinqiu was stunned; she didn't know what Kui En was doing, but this madness didn't last long. A few seconds later, the screen suddenly jolted strangely, flickering and misaligning for a few seconds before returning to normal.

"Haha, I was just kidding. Oh no! Did I scare everyone?"

Kuin abruptly returned to normal, smiling sullenly, but he couldn't completely fool everyone. The chat was filled with question marks, and the other live streamers also had subtle expressions.

At that very moment—

Ye Yinqiu clearly saw him silently mouth a sentence to her:

"Run!"

"...?"

She suddenly felt uneasy and made up an excuse to log off.

A chat bubble suddenly popped up in the background; it was a private message from the platform operations team.

Why did I log off so early today?

The tone of this private message didn't sound like customer service; it sounded more like an interrogation.

"I'm just not feeling well, and aren't you guys going to worry about the live stream?" she replied.

[There are no issues with the live stream. Please log back in to continue.]

"But the male anchor's behavior was strange at the time?"

[There's nothing wrong with it. Some streamers are under a lot of pressure, so occasional lapses in performance are not surprising.]

"But he looked like he was trapped inside a screen."

It's just for the sake of the show.

"But something's definitely not right!"

[Removing the emotional module would reduce computing power, thus preserving some of the test subject's independent consciousness. It seems there is a probability of losing control in scenarios where the subject's thoughts are connected to the outside world.]

"…………ah?"

"What does this mean?"—Before she could even ask, a transparent hand suddenly reached out from the screen and grabbed her throat!
