Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Xu Youyue didn't want to play this strange game either, because she knew without a doubt that the staff's secrecy was definitely not for good reasons.

"Because it needs to be kept secret."

"...Fine, let's just deal with it as it comes."

The young lady sighed and facepalmed.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just a working person after all. I'll go record the song now, Miss."

Xu Lin felt relieved at this point. After all, it was a VUP's job, so there was nothing to complain about. Even if Sister Feng and the others were playing around, they wouldn't go too far. At most, they would just let the two of them kiss.

"Then Ruoye, you go first, I'll go rehearse the script."

The young lady sighed, resigned to her fate.

.......

The recording process is actually quite tedious. Although our company has a dedicated recording studio, the equipment is just so-so and definitely not as good as renting a recording studio outside. Fortunately, the sound engineer that the boss found is quite skilled, so it didn't turn out badly.

Ultimately, recording a song is nothing more than singing it over and over again, then piecing together the best take or a few best parts and handing it over to the sound engineer for processing.

After warming up her voice, the white-haired girl really just kept singing along; there's not much to say about that.

The song that a certain gray squirrel gave her was actually a rebellious song about individuality and resistance, which didn't really fit Xu Lin's personality.

She always writes songs about herself, with the only exception being one dedicated to her girlfriend. You can't ask for too much.

In fact, Xu Lin was the kind of person who would just follow the crowd. If she hadn't transformed, she would have lived an ordinary life, studied step by step, graduated, maybe got a master's degree in psychology, worked in society for two years, and then went home to gradually take over her father's work in her family's company.

In terms of romance, things will likely develop gradually with the young lady, and it won't be as dramatic as they are now. There won't be any premarital cohabitation or anything like that. A life without any ups and downs is what Xu Lin is pursuing.

But perhaps it was because her life was too mundane that fate played a cruel joke on her, turning a boy who should have been a winner in life into an anomaly.

Like a certain Totoro, she is an outlier, so in the end she can only try a little harder, use some tricks, accumulate more capital for herself, and strive to become more outstanding, outstanding enough that the young lady's parents will accept her despite common sense.

So she doesn't actually have much time to hang out in the VUP circle anymore. Her family, like the rich girl's family, is in the real business. No matter how much potential there is in this circle, it's something she can only consider after she takes over her family's company. And just recently, Lin-chan made the decision to semi-retire and go home to take over the company.

She didn't have much time left for her live streams, so she cherished this relaxing and enjoyable time even more, and she was particularly fond of the friends she made during this time, thinking about how to poach a few of her boss's rascals to work overtime for her.

The V of ESC is actually quite strange. Everyone in the group is an exceptionally hardworking and talented individual. Ye Jun is so talented that he can win scholarships so many times that he can't even count them all, and he and Sal have dominated debate competitions both on and off campus.

Lingyue is already a well-known illustrator, more than capable of being a concept artist, and has also drawn character illustrations for several well-known games.

Lin Mu is from the Central Academy of Arts, majoring in directing. He's a top student, so we'll skip him.

Yuanchu was a legend at her school. She completed all her credits in a year and then directly applied for an internship—she studied economics, so her abilities were outrageous.

Dumbass can survive on her looks alone, really. Lin Mu is already secretly planning to trick Dumbass into filming a short movie for her.

Fengling is an accounting major, capable of creating fraudulent accounting records.

Shuangxue is a computer science major who does big data analysis. It's said that she can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per online order. The only downside is that she sometimes operates in a gray area, which is not very safe.

Xueyue majored in broadcasting and received offers from TV stations, but didn't go because she hadn't graduated yet.

Not to mention Sister Yan, she's a rich second-generation, the student council president, and anyone can see her leadership qualities.

Yuzu is the worst off; as a freshman in college, she doesn't have any impressive or legendary experiences to show for it—if you don't even mention her ability to seduce girls.

Yu is an animation production major who has reportedly won many awards. She is also a top student who was looking for a job early but somehow got tricked into joining the company by the boss.

Jiehua is a jack-of-all-trades. She studied operations and knows countless software programs, but she's not an expert in any of them. No one expected that she would end up becoming a virtual streamer after working as a live streamer for a while. After being unable to stand the endless sexual harassment, she simply switched to being a virtual streamer.

Add to that the Xu couple, whose experiences aren't particularly remarkable but whose abilities are actually quite good, and this is ESC's current VUP lineup.

You can only say that it's a waste of talent to have these people as VUPs. If you gather these people together and start a company, with the three rich kids from the first generation and the savings that Shuangxue had accumulated, they would definitely achieve some success in ten years.

But the boss gathered these people together and started a VUP (Video Up) session, which led to the wonderful company we know and can't quite describe.

When you don't care about the gains or losses at work, you'll enjoy your work immensely. When a company's VUPs are all thinking about how to have fun instead of how to scam money, then that's definitely a legendary company.

P.S.: I really didn't expect that I wouldn't encounter this when writing serious content, even though there were no censored words when I was driving.

Chapter 39, Section 417: The Young Lady's 3D Livestream is a Blend of Amusement and Showmanship

Xu Lin's recording process went smoothly. After all, she had been practicing "Unrestrained" privately for a long time, to the point where she could even perform it live on stage, so recording it was naturally no problem.

She finished her work here in just two hours and then went to the young lady's place.

The timing was also coincidentally the same as the young lady's 3D live stream.

8 PM.

The show "Young Lady" has just started airing.

"Good evening everyone, welcome to my 3D live stream!"

A cute and adorable young lady with a standard haughty voice makes her debut on her own stage—a room with a strong otaku vibe.

Actually, both Xu Lin and the young lady's rooms are very tidy. Neither of them likes fancy paintings or anything like that, and there are very few decorations in their homes. Because they have a cat, the young lady's figurines that she used to display have been moved to the figurine cabinet in Xu Lin's previous room.

But VUPs always have a persona. The persona of the young lady is that of a tsundere otaku girl, so it's quite normal for her to have this room design. It's just that the source of inspiration for this design is a bit unusual.

This thing was made directly from a photo of Zero Moon's room.

Well, nobody knows what kind of room the staff designed for Zero Moon, but it must have been quite something.

"This is my room~ What do you think, isn't it cute?"

To match the room, the first 3D skin for the young lady wasn't her original outfit, but rather her pajamas.

It was drawn exactly like her in real life when she was wearing pajamas, a light pink slip dress with two cute ragdoll cats printed on it.

The skirt is quite long, so as long as she doesn't do anything strenuous, there's no need to worry about her exposing herself. Although Xu Lin felt that even if she did expose herself, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Huh? Looking under the skirt? Wow, so you guys are all such perverts? But it's not entirely impossible..."

As she spoke, the young lady immediately performed a high kick, revealing what was under her skirt.

Cat-head four-corner underwear.

【? ? ? ? 】

【Grass】

I told you there was definitely work to be done.

[Is the boss who asked to see under the skirt satisfied now?]

Honestly, Xu Youyue didn't know how the boss felt after spending a thousand yuan on SC just to see under a skirt, only to find a cat head and boxer briefs. But she knew it was funny and she wanted to laugh.

"www already said not to expect anything from under the skirts of virtual streamers. We've taken comprehensive protective measures, you know. Even Wakaba wears safety shorts, although she doesn't wear a skirt."

【What do you mean even if it's Wakaba? www】

In your eyes, isn't she even a girl?

"Huh? What kind of girl is that straight guy? Would a normal girl not even use skincare products and wear several different outfits every season?"

"She only has half an hour to shower!"

"And that includes the time spent scrubbing the body!"

Recently, the young lady has been addicted to complaining about Lin Jiang in the live stream. Whenever she has the chance, she will unconsciously complain. Seeing that the tone of the live stream is about to change to daily chatter, Xu Youyue quickly coughed twice to change the topic.

"Ahem, but we're not here to talk about her today. Let's get started with our 3D live stream! stf-san~ I'll leave the music to you, okay?"

In the distance, Fuli raised her hand high and gave an OK sign.

Yes, don't be fooled by Xu Youyue's pajamas; today's live stream isn't a pajama girl party, but a song and dance performance.

Having acquired a 3D suit with greater mobility, one always thinks about performing more skills for the audience, right?

So she jumped up on the spot.

...

"Phew~ It's been too long since I jumped. I need to rest for a bit. I'm so tired."

After dancing to the song "Wow," Xu Youyue picked up a small stool and sat down on the spot.

Dancing to such energetic music is indeed very physically demanding. Recently, under Xu Lin's care, the young lady has become even more of a couch potato, gaining three pounds. Not to mention how severely her physical strength has declined.

"Okay, I'll sit down and sing for everyone from now on lol. STF-san, could you get me my instruments?"

Although she was called STF, it was actually Xu Lin who delivered the violin to her. However, because there was a mystery guest segment coming up and they wanted to maintain some mystery, the two didn't interact much and simply delivered the violin before heading back.

"Wait a minute, I wanted a guitar, not a violin! I need to stand up for the violin!"

The young lady looked at the violin in her hands and complained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But Xu Lin, who was in the distance, had already raised a whiteboard with words written on it.

"Hmm? I've gained too much weight lately and need to lose weight, so I can't slack off? By Ruoye? Okay, Ruoye, wait till we get home and see how I deal with her!"

It was clearly an exchange between the two of them, but it was as if Xu Lin wasn't even there. After being a VUP for so long, he still has some acting skills.

"Forget it, a violin is fine, it's all the same."

Xu Youyue sighed, but still didn't stand up. Instead, she sat down and placed the small object upright on her lap.

"Watch me show you my special talent. You think this is a violin? No, no, no, you're wrong."

As she spoke, the young lady carefully tuned the instrument, adjusted the notes, and began to play a melodious yet poignant piece, "Moon Reflected in the Second Spring."

【? ? ? ? 】

【You're using a violin, you idiot!】

[Wow, so the young lady actually studies the erhu?]

"Hey, you've had enough rest, so how about we play you a violin piece next?"

While the comments were still reasonably speculating that Xu Youyue was actually holding an erhu with a violin model on it, the next second the young lady, who had just readjusted the sound, stood up and placed the violin on her shoulder, her legs together and her upper body straight, in a standard violin playing posture.

【? ? ? ? 】

With such amazing skills, why would you be a VTuber?!

Wow, a new instrument? A multi-functional violin?

[My lady is amazing! Just how many more skills do you have that we don't know about?]
