Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Kora! Why did the normal XP seniors exclude me first?!"

As soon as Miss Xu finished speaking, Yuan Chu couldn't help but start chirping.

"www, let's analyze this rationally. But to be honest, this doesn't seem like Ruoye's preference. Yiyi, is this your preference?"

Yuyue first brushed off Yuanchu's question, and then threw the topic back.

"Oh, I understand. Okay, Snow Moon, we already have the answer, right? I'll send it to you privately, okay?"

Sister Yan understood immediately.

"Oh, so fast? Yeah, just send it to me. If you need to use the mark, please let me know in advance."

"The chemistry between Sakura and me is unmatched by those two temporary partners over there! I'm quite confident about that."

Li Huiyan patted her chest confidently, while the young lady beside her remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Alright, we've received your answers. Now, it's Wakaba-senpai's turn. Shall we discuss this?"

When Xueyue saw the answer, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, but she managed to cover it up well and handed the topic over to Xu Lin.

"Huh? What's there to discuss? They've both made it so obvious www. I trust Tobi's intelligence, okay? She couldn't possibly misjudge such a simple situation."

Xu Lin was quite confident, mainly because the hints between the two were so obvious that anyone with a normal IQ could tell.

"So, is Tobi-Hina also in sync with Wakaba-senpai?"

"Yes, of course! Since Senior Wakaba trusts me so much, I can't possibly be wrong! I'm pretty confident when it comes to reading people's expressions!"

The kite chick also answered confidently and firmly.

"It seems our guests know each other very well www, but it's a bit frustrating that the first round ended so quickly. The answers I received were quite unexpected."

Xueyue looked at the answers sent by everyone with a smile, her expression slightly like she was trying to evade taxes.

It seems there's no worry about creating good entertainment for the show.

She thought to herself.

"So! Who was the first XP?"

"Hmm~ That's right! Our Miss Sakura!"

"I knew it was you www"

Sister Yan said in a tone that said, "Just as I expected."

"Eh?! It's actually the young lady!"

My mother looked completely shocked.

"Damn it, weren't you so confident just now?!"

Xu Lin almost spat out his water and promptly joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary).

"No, Senior Wakaba, weren't you just implying that it was yourself!?"

The kite chick retorted loudly.

"How could I possibly have such an 'experience'?! Use your brain, for goodness sake!"

"www, so the current score is two points for the Clear Group, who did not use any marks, while the Chaos Group has one point because Senior Wakaba used a mark and Tobi-chan answered incorrectly."

Xueyue decisively interrupted Ruoye's reprimanding message and forcibly continued the game.

"Xueyue, you changed the subject pretty abruptly, didn't you?"

Sister Yan chuckled and teased her a little.

"What can I do! Once Senior Wakaba starts scolding me, it just won't stop!"

"After all, he's a straight guy who's a total gamer. He's always like this and doesn't know how to give way to girls at all."

Xu Youyue echoed her sentiments with a look of empathy.

"No, let's be reasonable. What happened just now was obviously very simple, right? The young lady excluded me and Yuan Chu right away, and didn't even ask Yi Yi. She definitely knew it was her, that's why she reacted like that, right?"

Xu Lin looked completely bewildered. She couldn't understand why Yuan Chu couldn't figure out something so simple.

"So, Senior Wakaba, you didn't know that the young lady had this 'xp' (fetish/preference), but judged it based on her reaction?"

Xueyue asked, somewhat surprised.

"Isn't that obvious? How could I possibly know Miss's preferences? Do you guys share your preferences when you chat with each other? That's really weird."

Xu Lin spoke with conviction, but Xue Yue had a different opinion.

"Who knows if you two sleep together after your live streams end? It's not normal for each other to know each other's preferences. (whispering)"

"How could this be! Xueyue, what are you saying! How could I possibly sleep with this person?!"

Before Xu Lin could say anything, the young lady couldn't help but retort.

In front of the computer, her fair face instantly turned bright red, and her hair was almost damp with embarrassment.

"Xueyue, you're weird. You should watch less fan-made content."

Xu Lin's tone remained calm, but his sarcasm was sharp and incisive, stabbing directly into Xue Yue's chest.

[Hahahaha, the CP leader is Xueyue]

[Enjoying the gossip]

[I can be single, but the couple I ship must sleep together! Sakura Wakaba is the best!]

"Alright, let's move on to the second round of the XP guessing game!"

As expected of the most experienced host in ESC, Xueyue changed the subject without feeling embarrassed at all after suffering a major setback.

"Should my XP be 'full'?"

"Alright, everyone, let's guess! We'll start with the Chaos Group!"

"Ah... Iris, it's time to test our teamwork. This time, we don't need any intelligence."

Upon seeing this question, Xu Lin immediately stabbed his own teammate in the heart, decisive and sharp.

"Why do you have to specifically emphasize that intelligence isn't required?! (｀Δ') My intelligence is perfectly fine!"

While Yuanchu loudly complained, her subordinates didn't stop, sending the answer directly to Xueyue.

"So, what's next for the Clear Group? What are your thoughts on this, Miss?"

"I said, do I even need to guess? Ruoye, did you do this on purpose? Because the Chaos Mark gives double points, did you write such an obvious one for Xueyue?"

The first thing the young lady did after speaking was to denounce Xu Lin.

"As expected of you, scheming Ruoye! Is it really necessary to take a game this seriously?"

"Of course it's necessary, because I really want to see how you react to the punishment games."

Xu Lin remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

"There's no need to guess... After all, Wakaba already mentioned this when she debuted."

Sister Yan simply revealed the answer, since everyone already knew the answer.

"www, don't say it directly, Sister Yi, wouldn't that make me feel awkward? It'll be revealed later."

Xueyue laughed non-stop. Indeed, the Chaos team has a greater advantage than the Clear team in this game. After all, the Chaos team's score ceiling is much higher than the Clear team's when all the answers are correct.

After all, this is the first time this game has been held, so it's normal to have bugs.

Section 25 Chapter Twenty-Five ESC XP Symposium (5)

The second round of the game ended with the Chaos team emerging victorious.

"Okay, so the current score is four points for the Clear Group and five points for the Chaos Group. The Clear Group has not used any marks, while the Chaos Group has used three marks."

Xueyue paused slightly before continuing.

"However, after two rounds, our game rules will change a bit. First of all, the third round will be our last round."

"Secondly, the XP revealed in this round of the game could be any one of the livers in our XP company, meaning it might not be one of the four players on the field."

"Wait, host, are you just saying XP is okay? Won't the boss be angry? www"

As soon as Xueyue finished speaking, Xu Lin couldn't help but join in the吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism). Although everyone knows that another name for ESC is XP, and every Liver has to answer what XP is when they debut, that's no reason for Xueyue to expose it directly!

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a lecture. As long as you don't get your salary docked, everything is negotiable."

Xueyue waved her hand dismissively, completely unfazed.

That makes sense, considering she's the host for ESC, and she's always causing trouble during live broadcasts; she's probably gotten used to being reprimanded by the management by now.

Just like being scolded by your homeroom teacher in school, it goes in one ear and out the other.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Xu Lin was too lazy to even comment on this person anymore; anyway, the operations team wouldn't really be willing to punish these young girls.

Let them make a fuss.

"So, what is XP this time?"

"Sometimes I suddenly feel like reading doujinshi of the same sex, but I feel a little uncomfortable. Is it just a morbid curiosity? Or could I actually have that tendency?"

Xueyue read it with great emotion, as if it were her own troubles, which was quite touching.

"Let's have the Clear Team go first this time. Sister Yi, I want to ask you first, what do you think of this strange kind of fantasy?"

"Ah... well, actually I occasionally read some yuri works, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. After all, there's a saying that more than 80% of women are bisexual."

"But if these are those two boys... I suggest watching more BL anime to confirm your sexual orientation?"

Yan Jie hesitated when she spoke, clearly unsure of what to do in this situation.

"After all, I'm very clear about my own sexual orientation, so I'm not really in a position to give advice. What about you, Sakura? What do you think?"

She decisively shifted the topic to Xu Youyue, who used to like boys but now likes girls, and who, in reality, has only ever been in love with one person.

"Huh? Me..."
