Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Section 436, Chapter 57: Let me clarify, this is not a rumor.

After the three women briefly introduced themselves to Fengling, Xu Lin led them out of the boss's office.

"That's Sister Fengling! I didn't believe everyone who said that the voice actors in ESC were all handsome men and beautiful women, but now I do! They're all so pretty!"

Yunyun couldn't help but sigh as soon as she stepped out the door.

So far, the only ESC Livers she has met are Xu Lin, Miss, Yan Jie (three first-generation members), Feng Ling, and Youzi.

But their looks are truly top-tier.

"It's alright, but it's true that the average looks are all good. We'll see even more beautiful Vs when you debut. Yuuka and Yu are both here."

Xu Lin smiled and led the group to the operations department.

Although each person in ESC has a clearly defined scope of responsibility, they often help each other out in various roles, so it's essential to get to know all the operations staff.

It's just that in the past, Sister Feng would lead the newcomers through this process, but today it's Lin-chan who's here instead.

"Let me introduce you, this is the operations hamster. Um, he has a rather short temper, so I suggest you be careful w"

Compared to the serious introductions when Sister Feng brought her, it was much more relaxed when Xu Lin brought her, because she would always take the opportunity to subtly flatter the people she was introduced to, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

"Brother Ruoye, don't mess with me. How am I short-tempered? It's all because of those little bastards that I'm angry."

The hamster rolled its eyes helplessly, then smiled and greeted the three of them.

"Hello, newlyweds! It's nice to meet you all. I'm Xiaozhi."

At this moment, Xiao Zhi, who had been idly standing to the side, also came over and leaned against the hamster in a slightly affectionate manner, waving her little paws.

"Yes, there have been people online saying that our ESC company's specialty is domestic sales. I want to clarify that this is not a rumor."

Xu Lin immediately followed up with the persecution.

However, it was rather subtle, and only Xiaoge understood it. Qianqian didn't get the joke because she didn't know much about ESC, and Yunyun simply didn't realize it at all.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoge."

The pretty girl spoke with a rare hint of a smile, and her self-introduction was rather casual.

"Hey! You can sleep with anyone you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. What does your Liver's reputation have to do with our operations? We're just colleagues."

The hamster quickly explained.

"Oh ho, did I say anything? Hamster, why are you in such a hurry to explain?"

But Xu Lin, a seasoned fishing master, left the hamster speechless for a long time with just one sentence.

"Oh~!"

Yunyun then realized what was going on, her smile carrying a hint of mischief, but she still gently came to the hamster's rescue.

"I'm Yunyun, nice to meet you!"

"Hello Yunyun~"

Xiaozhi also skipped over the previous topic, and the group tacitly pretended that nothing had happened.

The operations team for phases four and five wasn't there today, which was a bit of a pity, but it's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities later. Xu Lin then introduced the three of them to Fuli and the others, and then took them to the artist area to let them find their own mothers.

It was basically just a face-to-face chat with the artist about her thoughts on her virtual avatar.

Although the illustrator from ESC Studio isn't that famous, she was still hired by the boss at a high price, and her art style is mature and cute. The three of them didn't have much to say, and could only chat casually about their requirements.

They're much easier to deal with than the client.

After completing this trip, Xu Lin led the group back to the live broadcast room to begin the class.

After finishing class, I was able to prepare for a live stream at the ESC club again after a long absence.

It was so late that I didn't have time to prepare the things I needed for the broadcast when I got home.

........

Xu Lin is looking forward to this long-awaited collaboration with Live!, a company he's not very familiar with outside.

Previously, it was said that ESC and PSP had reached a cooperation agreement. After the first round of large-scale collaborations, there have been quite a few smaller-scale private collaborations. Today, Xu Lin is going to collaborate with people from PSP.

west Mo You.

A streamer who is clearly a talented singer but doesn't sing properly every day; instead, he plays games or talks about strange topics.

He's considered one of the better male VTubers. His character art features a cute little boy with purple hair and red eyes, and he's set up as a demon king who comes to the human world to undergo trials.

While it's somewhat puzzling why the Demon King's trials are conducted in the human world, and in fact, judging from his behavior, he seems to be overcoming his social anxiety rather than undergoing a trial.

Seriously, Lin-chan put in a lot of effort during the pre-event communication.

"Hello."

"Mmm! Hello, hello."

The boy's voice on the other end still carried a hint of nervousness, even after the two had communicated many times. The Demon King, who would disappear during collaborations, truly lived up to his reputation.

"Don't be so nervous, YuYu. I'm not a bad person."

"Show that same fierce determination you have when you're searching high and low for the top spot in your livestream!"

The white-haired girl teased him with a soft, professional voice.

"...Wakaba-nii, please stop joking with me."

"Hahaha, okay, is the live stream ready? If so, we'll start streaming now."

"Yes! Everything is ready!"

Live stream begins.

"Hello everyone, good evening. This is Lan Ruoye, a first-generation member of ESC Club. Today, it's a long-awaited collaboration episode, and we finally have a new friend in our live stream."

Although this live stream was a joint broadcast by Youyou and Xu Lin, it was decided in previous discussions that Lin Jiang would take the lead in setting the topic.

There's no way around it, Youyou is genuinely socially awkward! How can you expect someone who gets so nervous that he stutters while chatting with his own captains in his own live stream to host a collaboration?

That would be so incredibly awkward!

"That's right, he is the Demon King from another world, a 300-year-old single man from Nantong, the Western Demon King!"

Xu Lin started the scene with some kind of slapstick humor, which made Youyou spit out a mouthful of water.

"That hurts, Wakaba! Don't keep emphasizing that you're single!"

So you're not denying it's from Nantong?

"I'm going to throw up! Wakaba, you're such a diode! I'm a straight man."

Yeah, "Straight Men"

Honestly, after briefly watching a few of Youyou's recorded episodes, Xu Lin became increasingly skeptical that the kid was straight.

"Okay, okay, our Youyou is a big brute, alright?"

"Pfft! Ruoye-ge, tell me the truth, how long have you been lurking in my live stream?"

Yu Yu then realized something was wrong. Something was off about Ruo Ye. What "Da Meng 1"? Wasn't this just a veiled jab at him as Ooki Zero?

Oh, let me explain. Saying that Youyou is Da Muling is a meme from his live stream. The origin of the meme is unknown, but because Youyou always makes all sorts of witty remarks, he has never taken off this label. Recently, he has even been successfully brainwashed by the audience and is gradually accepting this setting.

Chapter 58, Section 437: The eerie crowing of the rooster is the signature dish; one cannot resist trying it.

[Hahahaha, Wakaba's old dd is so cute!]

Sometimes I really can't tell if Wakaba is just good at market research or if she's just a DD (children's playmate).

How does she know everyone's jokes?

"Well, that's enough about the self-introductions. Now let's get down to business and talk about today's collaboration theme, Yuu."

"Okay, Ruoye."

“…”

As usual, Xu Lin should have asked Youyou another question at this point to start a new conversation, but this time, unusually, Xu Lin remained silent, leaving the entire live stream room in an awkward silence for a moment.

【? 】

What's going on?

It wasn't until question marks started appearing in the comment section that the white-haired girl scratched her head and said, somewhat puzzled.

"So, what was the theme of our collaboration today again?"

"..."

Hahahahaha

So you guys didn't prepare anything?!

[That's hilarious, that Youyou expression is cracking me up!]

When Xu Lin said those words, Youyou's control model instantly changed to a confused expression, which was cute and hilarious.

"It's all Youyou's fault. If he weren't so socially awkward and it took him so long to have a normal conversation, this awkward situation wouldn't have happened."

Lin Jiang glanced at Youyou and decisively shifted the blame.

"Is...is it my fault? Hugs, I'm so sorry!"

When Xu Lin, that scoundrel, shifted the blame onto Youyou, she actually got nervous. Her long-standing social anxiety suddenly flared up, and she even started stuttering when she spoke.

"Your sincere apology makes me seem so pathetic, you know... As a boy, you need to stand up for yourself. How can you always be so weak?"

This was Xu Lin's first time doing a live stream with such a cute and cuddly boy, and he was a little at a loss.

Thinking back to the male VTubers we collaborated with before, they were either scheming and perverted like Sal Frost, or simple-minded fools like Night Lord, or trolls like Light One. Now that we've finally caught a cute little boy, I'm really moved to tears.

Although Youyou is actually quite witty and sarcastic, her social anxiety has suppressed her inner sassiness...

"Oh! This young master is a super strong 1!"
