Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Actually, she wasn't that angry, because it was just eavesdropping. She was mentally prepared for this before she pinned Xu Lin down yesterday, but the fact that these people had actually been listening for so long still made her feel a little ashamed.

It was more of a case of being embarrassed and angry.

"that..."

Xueyue walked over with a mournful face, touching her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Can you please stop hitting your chest? The child is already so small QAQ"

"Pfft www Sure, how about a spanking?"

The young lady almost burst out laughing, then quickly straightened her expression and said seriously.

Although the spanking wasn't taken too seriously.

"..."

Xueyue didn't speak, but silently turned around.

"It's a little astringent."

Yuanchu lazily watched the farce unfold from the sofa, making sarcastic remarks.

"Shut up!"

Xueyue blushed instantly.

Twenty strokes, no more, no less. The young lady didn't hold back, but she wasn't very strong to begin with, so it wasn't enough to cause swelling.

"Then, Lin Mu, come here."

After flicking her wrist and sending Xueyue away to argue with Yuanchu, the young lady continued her execution.

It's not very harmful, but being spanked in public is extremely humiliating, so it's a good way to get revenge.

Lin Mu, being a straightforward man, walked straight over without lingering and stood openly in front of Xu Youyue.

"Go ahead and hammer it. It's just a solid block of iron anyway. What, Miss, are you going to forge it into steel?"

"Hey, it's okay. Maybe if it gets swollen, it'll look even bigger."

The young lady waved her hand and teased her with a smile.

"Hey! That's going too far!!! Miss, are you trying to kill me by hurting my spirit!?"

Unexpectedly, she broke Lin Mu's defenses. It seems that this girl is not as indifferent as she appears.

"The fried rice is ready."

Just then, after the young lady finished dealing with the group of eavesdropping brats, Xu Lin returned with two bowls of fried rice.

In fact, you can hear everything that's happening in the open kitchen and living room, otherwise she wouldn't have come back at this exact moment.

"Oh~ Lin-chan is so great~ Here's a kiss for you~"

Xu Youyue took the fried rice and happily left a puddle of drool on the white-haired girl's cheek.

"Tsk..."

Xu Lin wiped his face with disgust, then looked at Youzi.

"I, a foolish bean, am I mentally prepared to accept punishment?"

"Please, sis, have mercy! QAQ"

For a shameless creature like Yuzu, the young lady's tit-for-tat policy was like scraping her skin, completely failing to break through her defenses.

But Xu Lin was different. As a sibling who had grown up together, she had plenty of ways to deal with this little rascal.

Section 339, Chapter 44: Game Rules

Nobody knows what happened to Yuzi afterward, and nobody cares.

All everyone knows is that after Xu Lin dragged the wailing Youzi into the room, when he came out again, Youzi had been completely reset to factory settings.

"Grapefruit?"

Looking at the quiet girl with a blank expression in front of her, Yuan Chu tentatively asked.

"Yes, I'm here. Is there anything I can help you with, Tobi-chan?"

The girl nodded slightly, her words extremely polite, yet even her voice had changed.

Soft and incredibly cute.

"What exactly did you do to Yuzu-chan, senpai...?"

Lin Mu looked at the smiling, refreshed white-haired girl and couldn't help but shudder.

"Well, who knows?"

Sister Yan shrugged, her tone indifferent.

She actually thinks this quiet pomelo is quite nice, even though the lively version of pomelo used to bring a lot of joy, it was also a real headache.

"As expected, the one you really shouldn't mess with is Wakaba-nii~"

"It's none of my business," Sal said, nestled on the sofa with his teacup, watching everything with a detached, almost resigned tone, like a leisurely old man.

I couldn't agree more.

Xueyue nodded, still feeling lingering fear.

Thankfully, it was the young lady who dealt with them just now; it's unimaginable what would have happened if it had been Xu Lin.

"Upstairs +1"

Frost and snow took the opportunity to climb to the top floor.

"Silent +2"

Ye Jun immediately followed.

Just as everyone was coldly discussing the current situation of Yuzi, the boss walked in from outside with several operations staff.

He stood in front of the sofa, clapped his hands with an air of authority, and attracted everyone's attention.

"Alright, everyone."

"The live streaming equipment is ready. Now, Sister Feng will explain the collaboration process for everyone. This is the first time we've done such a large-scale collaboration, so I hope everyone can do their best."

The last time there was a large-scale collaboration on ESC, there were only eight people, and Zero Moon wasn't there. But today, that number has expanded dramatically to 15.

The difficulty of collaborating on this project is incomparable to what it used to be. Sister Feng and her team lost a lot of hair just to design a process.

"The collaboration will be hosted by Xueyue and Shuangxue. I will send you the script in a bit, but since the operations department is also inexperienced, please feel free to improvise."

Sister Feng looked around and saw that everyone was nodding and acting decisively.

"Ok."

Snow, moon, frost, and snow all responded together.

"The first generation members, Ruoye and Xuying, will lead two teams separately, while Yiyi will act as the hidden host and be in charge of the event management."

"Okay, we'll decide the personnel ourselves?"

Xu Lin made a gesture and then asked.

"We've already assigned them this time; next time, you'll have to choose for yourselves."

"understood."

"The fourth and fifth generation members lack experience in collaborations. You two, Yuzuriha and Sal, will give them a crash course later. Use the recording of the last eight-person collaboration as teaching material. The main points to pay attention to are the timing of speaking, responding to jokes, and the key points to note when speaking."

"Okay." ×2

"Zero Moon... Never mind, just don't become too withdrawn."

Feng Jie glanced at Ling Yue, who was already trembling at the mention of a large-scale collaboration, and sighed. There was nothing she could do about it.

"You should bring her along when you go to the tutoring session later."

In the end, there was no other way but to add more tasks for Iris and Sal.

"Understood."

The kite chick couldn't help but laugh.

"Lastly, it's the third generation. Your tasks are lighter this time, so you need to ensure the quality of the show, understand?"

"Don't worry, Sister Feng! We're experts at creating hilarious situations."

Sister Feng isn't worried about this group's ability to create drama; after all, it's been evident over time that ESC has become synonymous with creating drama. What she's worried about is that this group might start making suggestive remarks when she's not paying attention, which would lead to serious trouble.

That's why she arranged for Sister Yan to be the one in charge of the scene control—she's the only one in this group who has some common sense and is reliable.

"Okay, then everyone go and familiarize yourselves with the script and make preparations. The live broadcast will start promptly at 6 p.m.

Sister Feng turned around and gave Xiao Zhi a look, then sent them the game instructions.

Meeting adjourned.

"Let's go have lunch first."

. . . . . .

After lunch, Xu Lin opened the game rules sent by the operations team. It was very long, with a process of more than a thousand words.

"Wow, that was impressive."

The white-haired girl lay lazily on the bed and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The rules aren't complicated; it's still an upgraded version of the simplified four-person team-based system from Snow Moon, but now it's a two-team battle.

The two teams engage in a psychological battle centered around XP.

The game consists of seven rounds. In each round, each side sends one member to the game, and the operators provide a set of keywords.

Players have two rounds of four opportunities to ask questions. The opponent can only answer yes or no and the answer must be true. The player who guesses the opponent's keyword at the end wins and scores a point.

But if the rules were just like that, they would be relatively simple. The main problem is that the cunning operators added a few additional rules.
