Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Section 446, Chapter Sixty-Seven: Investigation into Lin Mu's Special Physique

The matter concerning Lin Mu is indeed very interesting.

This girl naturally has a very low profile, and it's a contradictory kind of low profile.

As mentioned before, Lin Mu is actually a very active girl. She is not withdrawn or socially anxious, and she is even good at chatting and can chat in groups.

But it's strange that people often can't remember her. Logically speaking, an interesting and pretty girl with pink hair should be someone with a high profile, the kind who would attract attention on the street.

But she manages to make people forget her, which is practically counterintuitive.

After discovering this trait of hers, Lin Jiang even considered writing a paper based on it after observing her for a period of time.

So, do such people exist in reality?

Yes, they do exist, but they are usually specially trained intelligence personnel.

According to basic psychological theories, by using special training to imprint a set of speaking styles and behavioral logic into one's DNA, and then understanding and intentionally utilizing the flaws in human life, one can achieve the same effect as Lin Mu.

Yes, humans have life defects. For example, visual blind spots are a well-known defect. They are bugs in the brain's underlying logic and the blind spots in the brain's information processing mechanism are used to create a neglect effect.

Moreover, everyone should have had this experience: holding the thing you're looking for but just can't remember it, so you search all over the room, or something is clearly placed in a very conspicuous place but you just can't find it.

This is due to the mechanism by which the human brain processes information. When you think about a problem, you skip many steps. These skipped steps are the blind spots in your thinking. That's why you are required to write out the calculation process when doing problems in high school, even if you can see the answer at a glance. You have to write it out or you will lose points. This is to cultivate logical thinking ability that does not rely on the subconscious information processing mechanism.

We've strayed a bit from the topic, let's get back to Lin Mu's story.

Before Lin Muxu wrote her thesis on water, she specifically asked her teacher, who was also her uncle, to see if it was feasible.

After hearing Lin Jiang's idea, Uncle Xu only said one sentence.

"Are you trying to get investigated by the National Security Bureau by publishing the training theories for special agents?"

Then Lin Jiang immediately dismissed the idea.

Although things aren't as exaggerated as Uncle Xu described, and there are many related papers online, it's not far off. If Lin Jiang's paper were to be published, it would be an outline of the principles of special agent training, with other papers serving as the basis for related knowledge points. Lin Jiang would even have to list these papers in the references while writing the paper.

It would be strange if they weren't investigated.

But now that the principles behind Lin Mu's 'traits' are clear, what is the actual probability of someone being born with such a naturally perfect sense of presence?

Uncle Xu's answer was less than one in ten million.

The disappearance of natural presence is also due to the influence of innate bio-electromagnetic fields, which is purely a matter of fate and the probability cannot be statistically determined. However, the probability of naturally forming agent-like behavioral logic during the growth process is extremely small.

For a while, Xu Lin couldn't figure out what kind of family Lin Mu's family could raise a child like Lin Mu. Surely, both parents couldn't be secret agents, right?

Besides, this person studied directing; surely she shouldn't be clueless about how to make her presence felt? Cinematic language and composition are part of her expertise!

So, she asked Lin Mu about this. That's right, Lin-chan, who rarely gets curious, actually asked!

"Later, Brother Ruoye told me that Lin Mu's family situation was rather complicated, and she couldn't say much about it."

"In short, it's related to the country. The older generation was one of the people who secretly disappeared in the 1960s."

Xueyue's words already hinted at something very clearly, and Shuangxue was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Holy crap..."

Before joining ESC, he always thought that for a computer genius like himself, a master of big data analysis, capable of synthesizing various market data to plan for a company's future development, becoming a VUP was the pinnacle of frivolous pursuits. But little did he expect...

"Are all the seniors this strong?"

"Don't you know? Lin Mu is a top student in the directing department, from the Central Academy of Drama. I don't need to explain what Feng Ling does, right? Everyone here is very capable. I'm considered one of the less capable ones."

"Truly worthy of being called a master."

After holding it in for a long time, Shuangxue could only manage to utter this one sentence.

Being relatively withdrawn within the organization, he genuinely had no idea what these strange and unsavory characters had done before.

"Jiehua is a versatile operations person. Sister Feng is so envious of her. She often says that if she had known earlier, she would have definitely poached her to the operations department."

What Xueyue said is true. It's extremely difficult to find someone who has both professional operational skills and live streaming experience. The conflict between streamers and operations is almost inherent. Jiehua is practically the perfect operator.

Not to mention she's proficient in all sorts of software, no wonder Sister Feng is envious! She's a talent who's worth half the operations department!

"Although Wakaba studied Japanese, she has an absurdly strong set of miscellaneous skills. During our first team building activity, we played a game called Truth or Dare. She pointed out all the sly ones who chose Truth and lied, and they even described the truth in almost the same way. She's practically a mind-reading machine."

"I do know that. When I was chatting with her face to face before, I always felt like she could guess what I was going to say next."

Shuangxue immediately recalled his conversation with Xu Lin about how he viewed Xueyue. At the time, he didn't think much of it, but later, no matter how he thought about it, he felt as if Xu Lin had come with the answer to his question, as if he had been seen through.

"And the most interesting thing is the previous fishing incident. She even guessed exactly who would go there and what they would say, just like spoilers."

Xueyue was referring to an early event where the two of them orchestrated a fraudulent scheme.

The idea was to have Xueyue pre-record a video, pretending it was played during the live stream; it was basically a script where she fell asleep during the live stream.

Then they asked the operations team to create fake accounts to send messages to other people's live streams. Xueyue fell asleep during the live stream. Back when the project hadn't even started, Linjiang had already guessed the actions of the young lady Yuanchu, Yanjie, and Sal who later called over in the group chat, as if it were a prophecy.

The program was incredibly entertaining.

"I have a new understanding of our company."

Frost and Snow couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, there are even more exciting things inside that you don't know about. You'll find out slowly. Our society is very deep."

Xueyue chuckled and patted the dog's head, indicating that Shuangxue was still too young.

What kind of place is ESC? It's a company formed by a bunch of weirdos who don't do their jobs properly. How serious can the people in it be?

P.S.: Best wishes to all the test takers!

Chapter 68, Section 447: Frost, Snow, and Moon - Second Generation Students

After discussing the third generation members, the next group to move up is the even more mysterious second generation members.

"To be honest, the first and second generation members were actually the first batch of our club's initial plan. Our third generation was recruited later. I heard from Brother Ruoye that the ESC club was still in its infancy at that time, and many things were not mature. So I don't know much about what happened back then."

When it comes to the story of ESC, it seems that all people know is about Sakura Wakaba, but not many know the behind-the-scenes story.

"After all, I heard that our company was based on the original standards for virtual anchors, and they rarely talked about real-life things. Now the regulations are more relaxed."

Frost and Snow nodded in affirmation.

"Yes, so even if everyone goes through the recordings, they won't find out what the environment was like at ESC back then. But if you ask me, it would be more appropriate to call that period 'XP Company'."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you see, among the first generation and the second generation, isn't there a single one who isn't from XP?"

Xueyue shrugged, her eyes smiling.

"So, by that logic, the third generation members are also members of XP Company, right? www The third generation members' seniors are all members of XP Company."

"Get lost, Frost and Snow, you're just indirectly criticizing me, aren't you?"

In fact, the only two people in the entire ESC company who aren't from XP are Daidai and Yu. Even the newbie Yuka has already successfully joined the organization.

Aren't you guys from XP Company?

【What? ESC? Does such a company exist?】

[LOL, you two are from XP Company too!]

"Okay, enough joking. Actually, the seniors had a tough time back then. Although our boss is rich, it was very difficult to set up the operations department. It is said that the first batch of trainees did not have any responsibility for operations at the beginning. Sister Feng joined with the second batch of trainees."

Feng Jie and Hamster are probably the two operations staff at ESC who have the highest presence among the audience.

However, Hamster is known for frequently flying into a rage and spewing out outrageous messages in the livestream because of Iris and Night Lord, threatening to kill those two reckless bastards. As for Sister Wind...

She was known for her authority.

After all, Feng Jie is the only one in the entire company who can keep the three first-generation members from working overtime. Considering the actual status and strength of Xu Lin, Yan Jie, and the other two, she naturally becomes the most authoritative one—even though she rarely appears in the live broadcast room.

"Considering the workload of operating Sang now, Shuangxue, you can imagine how hard the members of the first and second generations worked back then, and it seems they also had to go to school."

"That's true. Holding meetings every day is difficult enough these days, and having to be responsible for my own content is worse than just killing me."

Shuangxue thought carefully about the terrifying workload and realized that if the workload had been that heavy when she arrived, she probably wouldn't have been able to finish broadcasting this long; she would have run away long ago.

"Speaking of the second generation, what are your impressions of the seniors, Xueyue-senpai?"

Suddenly realizing the topic had veered off course, Shuangxue subtly offered a hint.

"The second generation members... I'm most impressed by Tobi and Hina, since we used to live in the same city and often went out together."

"It makes me angry just thinking about it. How could someone be so shameless! They actually made a dirty joke loudly in the middle of a shopping mall with the highest foot traffic! I felt like our rate of people turning their heads skyrocketed at that moment!"

He was so angry at the mention of Yukizuki that he looked like he wanted to kill Yukizuki on the spot.

"But isn't Tobi-chan-senpai a nice person? lol"

Frost and Snow said with a smile.

"It's alright, not terrible at all, and it's presentable when you dress it up occasionally."

I remember that girl in the white dress, so fresh and elegant, sad yet strong, heading alone to the train to the night sea.

Ok. . .

and many more.

"By the way, Iris's whole box of pink stuff is still at my house! Frost Snow, do you want it? You can have it all!"

Just as she was recalling some good things about Iris, Xueyue suddenly remembered the things she had been hiding under the bed. She asked with a dark expression.

Are you sure you want to mail it? Mailed packages need to be opened and inspected, you know?

Shuangxue immediately wanted to refuse, but a normal refusal would definitely not work on Xueyue, this troublesome woman, so he changed his approach and took the initiative to dispel Xueyue's idea.

but.

Captain Lan Ruoye entered the live stream room.

[Lan Ruoye sc30: Xueyue, you mailed it to Shuangxue, but in the end, you're the one who uses it.]

Captain Lan Ruoye left the live stream.
