Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Ironically, a certain unlucky writer happened to fall into all of the pitfalls mentioned above.

Perhaps, if this continues, it will ultimately be the audience who gets hurt.

Look at those unicycle enthusiasts who are having fun now; most of them used to be great audience members!

Xu Lin sometimes feels quite heartbroken for this industry.

If it weren't for so many scumbags who only think about making a quick buck and leaving without caring about the devastation that follows, this place could have developed into a thriving and vibrant world.

Instead of being in this half-dead state now.

So the boss named his company ESC.

It means the end.

If even the companies they themselves built can't escape the vicious cycle of hurting audiences and forcing them to wear masks and become entertainers and clowns...

Then, my childish dream should come to an end.

It's a bit childish, but that was his true thought when he impulsively started building ESC.

This is why Xu Lin decided to join, and why the three rich second-generation members of the first cohort worked tirelessly with the boss to raise and nurture the company.

Things like XP Society are just jokes.

Although this name has almost become their code name.

Therefore, whether it's Xu Lin, the boss, the young lady, or Li Huiyan, they are all watching the newcomer's test live stream with high hopes.

The new kids are all good kids, even if they are occasionally betrayed by their juniors and used as scapegoats, even if they sometimes get so angry that their blood pressure rises, but after all, this is their dream.

And Yu, who did live after Yuka, certainly didn't disappoint them.

Unlike Yuuka, who is supposed to come from an invisible world line but is surprisingly an ordinary and clear-headed girl, Yuuka's style is quite different.

The excellent setup and live streaming style are a perfect match.

I don't know where the boss found this girl with no background or connections, but she's just so perfect for the name "You" and for this white-haired, emotionless persona.

Yu's name is a meme; she is one of the most beloved wives among otaku, from the anime "Is This a Zombie?".

However, the character designs and illustrations certainly cannot be too 'homage' to the original.

Actually, it's quite interesting. Yu's character design is from the same world as Yuka and Yuzu. Yuzu is an ordinary high school girl from an invisible world line, while Yuka is from an invisible world line, and Yu is a emotionless white-haired mage.

Yu, a former novelist, even wrote a story for their costumes featuring Yuka as the protagonist. Although the story is only in its early stages, she seems to really want to continue writing it.

It would be quite nice to make it a hobby or a product for fans. The boss even promised to help publish it if the story was good.

The character art is also different from the 'Yu' in the anime who is holding a writing brush and wearing magic-suppressing armor. Our Yu is a mage, but she is wearing a pure black sailor uniform, has short hair suitable for battle, and a white medical eye patch over her right eye.

Only its icy blue left eye was visible.

From the novel written by You herself, Xu Lin learned that the character's left eye was blinded in a battle and has not recovered since. She wore an eye patch to avoid trouble, but You did not mention this setting during the live broadcast.

I suppose it's left to the audience's imagination.

Her height is set at 156cm and her weight at 39.5kg. Well, according to Yuka, these are her actual measurements.

"So, seniors, do you have any questions?"

The taciturn girl wasn't one to engage in public relations. Even though Xu Lin and the others were just playing the role of the audience during the test live stream, she still addressed them as "senior."

However, it's not a big problem.

[Frost and Snow: So, the traditional question?]

[Snow Moon: Be confident, our first question will definitely be about XP.]

"Okay, my XP is..."

The boss behind the scenes slapped his face.

Still hoping? Hoping for what?

Even the only clear understanding is about to disappear!!!

P.S.: Speaking of my experience watching V, it was a disaster. I started watching Shera and Diablos, and then both of them disappeared. But thankfully, Little Ancestor came back, but that was later.

Later I looked at the P family, and then the P family became the P family's mother's home.

Then I watched Holo, and Holo exploded.

After taking a break from being a homebody and relaxing, I couldn't resist watching VR again. It hadn't even been two days when the battle royale started, and I was out of the game.

I just figured out what was going on with Jia Ran's comment section, which was as chaotic as the Ganges River, a couple of days ago. Then, Jia Ran's management team went into classic fan-circus mind control mode, and one of their fan leaders was exposed...

???

What the hell?!

So I've been very tired from writing these past two days, because I really don't know why I still need to write VIP books.

Ugh.

Let's adjust slowly. I've already let everyone down enough by not finishing Gamer, so I should at least finish Miss Rin's book.

Chapter 74, Section 265: The Song of the Girl with No Money, No Talent, and No Income

Let me emphasize this again: the boss genuinely didn't intend to create a purely chaotic company. To borrow a famous quote:

You can't go far by relying on vulgarity. —by Meiba

(To be fair, my dad really sings well.)

So if you look at the recruitment for the fourth and fifth cohorts, you'll understand that, apart from one person who got in through connections, everyone else who came for the interview knew the system.

But for some reason, everything changed during the test live stream.

Holy crap! They all seemed so shy and reserved, but how come they turned into complete monsters during the live stream?! —by the boss

It's one thing that only one Ada was left as a backup after the previous four generations, but how come none of the fifth generation members are left?

A new meme has even started circulating among ESC viewers.

[The "clear-cut" characters from ESC are all characters whose writing style is clear and interesting, often used to describe people who are eulogistic or have a clear sense of style.]

The phrase "弔人" (mourning the deceased) implies a live stream taking place in a basement, and basements in the world of anime... well...

It always carries a strange connotation.

h萝 means very damn.

Ah... I'm in despair!

I'm despairing of this world that has no clear system!

But no matter how much the boss plays the despair trope, our emotionless and adorable Yu-chan won't stop.

(Wow, how many memes did I use in less than 400 words... That's so cool!)

"xp, well, I wouldn't call it xp, I really like dogs, so my preferred type is the canine type."

Upon hearing this, everyone at ESC typed a meaningful "Oh~".

The previous Yuka was an unmistakably puppy-like girl, right?

[Snow Moon: I feel sorry for Yuzu. Why don't you and Sister Yan become a couple?]

[Sal: Snowmoon, how dare you imply our XP company's biggest secret?]

[Xu Ying: Sal, why did you say that in such a sarcastic tone?]

[Pomelo: Okay, okay! I'll take it!]

[YiYi: Forget it, let someone else deal with this little rascal. I'd rather not have a partner.]

Sal and Snow Moon truly live up to their reputation as the two most sarcastic and sarcastic individuals in ESC right now. One of them subtly hinted that the fifth generation members, like the first generation members, are two people who are vibrating and ascending to heaven on the train while the other is repairing and distributing things under the train.

The other one also subtly implied the open 'secret' of the relationship between Xu Lin and the young lady.

They managed to draw the ire of six people in one go; truly worthy of their reputation.

"I have no interest in Yuka."

Looking at the comments posted by her seniors on the screen, Yu responded calmly, her voice flat.

Just moments ago, Yuka, who had been making all sorts of strange movements and full of energy to cheer Yu on, suddenly turned ashen.

Wait, why are you turning it gray?!

The dog food smells pretty good, huh?

[Lan Ruoye: Really not interested? If needed, I can talk to the operations team about pairing you two up.]

"Senior, please note that my liking only exists in anime. In reality, I'd rather read books."

At this point, Yu paused for a moment, then subtly observed the graying, even nonexistent, orange-yellow dog ears of the flower.

He added another sentence.

"However, forming a couple is no problem. Couple promotion is also part of the job, and I can accept it."

[Lan Ruoye: Okay, I'll talk to Sister Feng about it later. It's convenient since you live together, and it'll be easy for you to run your business.]

[Can you accept couple-related promotions, or can you accept Yuka as a couple-related promotional partner?]

[Since Yu didn't say explicitly, I don't know either.]

Xu Lin smiled knowingly and exchanged a glance with the young lady beside him. They both understood each other's unspoken thoughts.

"Yay! I knew Yu-chan was the best!"

Yuka cheered on the spot and was about to pounce on the girl with no connections when Yu, who was already prepared, shoved her in the face.

Looking at it...

That's pretty stupid.

"Keep quiet during the live stream."

Yu gave her a nonchalant look, which startled Jiehua so much that she immediately sat up straight.
