I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

The basement door was opened.

Yu Yin carefully walked in, carrying two steaming hot lunch boxes.

When she saw a holographic equipment installation vehicle with a "Fast Installation" sign parked in the corridor, she was taken aback, thinking that some "big boss" had come to talk business with her brother again.

When she pushed open the door and entered the room, she found a young man in blue overalls standing next to her brother's wheelchair, adjusting a holographic transmitter in his hand while chatting with her brother.

"So your name is Yu Wen?"

The young installer didn't even look up, deftly securing the wiring with his hands and feet:

"The one who wrote 'To Live'?"

Yu Wen raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"Am I that famous already?"

"I work in this industry, dealing with all sorts of electronic devices every day, so I'm most sensitive to these things."

The installation technician pointed to the badly worn mechanical keyboard on the table and smiled:

"As soon as I walked in, I saw your keyboard, and then compared it with the trending topics on StarNet today. It's not hard to guess that StarNet is really lively today."

The young man straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, examined Yu Wen's numb legs, and then looked around the dark, damp basement where even the walls were seeping water. His tone suddenly became serious:

"However, seeing you like this and the place you live in, I believe you are the kind of person who can write that kind of book. Although everyone's experience of suffering is different, the feeling is the same."

The young man patted the holographic main control board in his hand:

"You rushed me to get this holographic equipment installed so you could do a holographic live stream to clarify the plagiarism issue, right?"

"yes."

Yu Wen looked at him and smiled gently:

"If everyone on the StarNet saw this environment and thought like you, then I probably wouldn't need to say anything more."

The installation worker chuckled, but then shook his head and sighed.

"No, maybe a small number of people will believe it, but there's too much negativity online these days. People who are swayed by capital, and those trolls who just want to see you fall into the mud, most people will probably think that you deliberately set up a shabby basement to gain public sympathy. Nowadays, netizens would rather believe in a conspiracy than the truth."

Yu Wen nodded in agreement: "That's true."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Yu Yin listened to the two's rambling conversation and stepped forward with some concern, placing the lunchbox on the table.

"fine."

Yu Wen turned his head, looked at his younger sister's concerned face, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone relaxed:

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, my brother will use this new equipment to hold a fan meeting."

Yu Wen smiled.

What he didn't tell his sister was that in this upcoming holographic live stream, there would be "fans," but the "haters" and millions of paid trolls waiting to expose him would probably fill the entire public screen.

……

A few minutes later, the basement was filled with the long-lost aroma of food.

Yu Yin spread out plastic bags on the slightly crippled wooden table and arranged several steaming hot dishes one by one.

Although most of them are still high-grade synthetic starch and artificial meat slices, they are already a rare luxury in the Lower City.

"Brother, eat quickly, while it's hot."

Yu Yin handed the chopsticks to Yu Wen, then picked up a small bowl herself and ate with relish.

On the other side, the young man installing the camera was extremely quick and efficient, and soon he had finished laying out the wiring for the holographic camera.

He dusted off his hands, walked over, and gave them instructions:

"Brother Yu, everything's set up. This equipment is a high-end product that was retired from the Central District. It's very sensitive in terms of sound pickup and holographic capture. However, there's one thing to note: the humidity in your basement is too high, and the lens fogs up easily. Remember to wipe it before broadcasting, otherwise the projected image will be blurry."

"I know!"

Before Yu Wen could even speak, Yu Yin, whose mouth was stuffed full of imitation meat, raised her hand and mumbled an answer:

"I'll wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth every day to make sure I don't scratch it!"

The young man installing the equipment couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the little girl's earnest expression.

"Alright, little housekeeper, it's all yours now."

Yu Wen swallowed a mouthful of warm soup and turned to look at the young man:

"You've worked hard, brother. Have you eaten yet? Sit down and get another pair of chopsticks?"

"No, no, I've already eaten."

The young man waved his hand, chatting casually as he packed up his toolbox:

"I have to go to District 9 later to install a security camera system. The Lower District has been quite unsettled lately. I heard that several homeless people were injured by the mechanical guards while stealing nutrient solutions at night. Everyone is on edge."

"District 9 is quite far from here, so please be careful on the road."

Yu Wen nodded, then turned the wheelchair towards him:

"How much is the installation fee? I'll transfer it to you."

The young man slung his toolbox over his shoulder, but stopped abruptly at the door. As if by magic, he pulled a paper work order and a pen from his pocket, turned back, and rubbed his hands together somewhat sheepishly.

"Um... I'll give you a 20% discount on the installation fee, but... could you please sign your name for me?"
