Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"It's alright, look, I've already drunk it, haven't I? Come on, Sal, cheer up, drink this blood of destiny!"

"Who would have chili powder in their blood?!"

The two of them pushed and shoved each other for a while, until everyone started to realize that something was wrong.

Sal realized something was wrong and quickly gave Night Lord a look.

Stop playing around! If you keep going, we'll get caught!

【receive! 】

The two, who were of one mind, instantly changed their strategy. Night Lord pretended to be drunk and revealed a flaw, and Sal immediately broke free from his embrace and ran away.

Just then, Lin Mu, who had somehow gotten close, nudged Xu Lin.

"Those two are obviously acting, aren't they? Senior, aren't you going to say something?"

"They're all working so hard, what can I say..."

Xu Lin was also speechless. She had felt a little guilty seeing Ye Jun vomit so violently and was about to apologize properly, but the two of them got so engrossed in their acting that she couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she could only watch from the sidelines.

"I really didn't expect it to end like this."

The young lady looked at the two boys who were almost running to the beach and was speechless.

They seem quite reliable online, so why are they so silly in person?

"I didn't expect that either."

Xu Lin nodded in agreement, casually picked up a bottle of beer and handed it to the young lady, then glanced at Lin Mu.

"Shall we do one?"

"Did they not put chili powder in it this time?"

The young lady looked at Xu Lin suspiciously, then smelled the beer she was offered.

"Don't distrust me so much, I wouldn't dare to cheat you."

"Senior, please drink this bottle."

"..."

Xu Lin glanced at Lin Mu's smiling expression and sensed something was amiss. She looked at Lin Mu, then at the wine in her hand.

He took a quick sniff of the bottle opening and then threw the beer into the trash can.

"Isn't this the one I just gave Sal?! Lin Mu, are you trying to trick me again?!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Lin Mu laughed and ran away, hiding behind Sister Yan.

She doesn't want to be a third wheel for those two! It's enough for her to enjoy their sweet moments online; there's no need to bother them offline.

"Tsk, this junior, you can't afford to be careless."

"You've gone to hell. Remember to apologize to Ye-kun later."

Xu Youyue rolled her eyes at her.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Miss!"

Chapter 65, Section 65: A Collaboration Where Zero Moon Doesn't Exist

"Hello everyone, good evening. Welcome to ESC's large-scale offline collaboration, The World Where Zero Moon Doesn't Exist. I'm your host for today, Yukizuki."

[Damn! The opening scene is persecuting Zero Moon!]

[Waaaaah, Zero Treasure is truly a lonely legend]

[Miserable Zero Month Misery]

After a series of farces, the group finally ended their accident-ridden BBQ and began their real work for the day: a live broadcast of the lie detector test.

"So, as fans who follow the official account should know, we collected many questions for our livers. And today, the operations team, Sangfuli Mama, has prepared a lie detector for us."

"Fuli Mama~ How's the volume adjustment? Is it okay now?"

As Xueyue spoke, she waved to a young man wearing a large headset and stopped only after receiving his OK sign.

"Ah, it seems the volume is fine."

"The rules of today's game are very simple. Each liver will take turns answering questions. If you get shocked, you have to choose to continue answering or accept the punishment. The punishment will be randomly selected by the operations team from the comments."

"Okay, let's start with introductions from our senior colleagues and peers."

Xueyue started by giving a long speech, clearly outlining the rules for the entire live stream. Since there were so many people, and they were all characters who had already appeared, she decided to skip the self-introductions for now.

"Alright! Everyone has finished their self-introductions, so I believe you are all mentally prepared, right? To show respect to our seniors, let's have the third generation members start first, in the order of debut, with the last one going first."

As soon as Xueyue finished speaking, Yejun suddenly leaned over and interrupted.

"Wait a minute, wasn't you Xueyue the last member of the third generation to debut? What, you're trying to avoid the lie detector now that you're a host?"

"Huh!? No way, have you ever seen an event host go down on stage and play games with the guests and accept punishments! Night Lord, I'm warning you, don't cause trouble!"

"Happy Camp".

Xu Lin, who doesn't watch many variety shows, directly gave examples.

"A host of a Korean variety show."

The young lady's influence extended overseas.

"It seems like there are many similar programs on Japanese variety shows as well."

Sister Yan followed thoughtfully, and the three first-generation students, one sentence each, drove Xueyue to the brink of despair.

"Senior... we can't use real-world examples! We're virtual characters, virtual characters, how can we use real-world variety shows as examples? Besides, the audience's opinion is more important in this kind of thing, right? So, what do you viewers say?"

Since Xueyue has already said that, what kind of reaction can netizens possibly have?

Of course, everyone wants Xueyue to participate in the game!

To be fair, Xueyue should have gotten involved.

I agree!

【gkd】

"Oh, this..."

Xueyue felt that relying on these silly netizens to be reliable was absolutely absurd, but now that things were settled, she simply stopped worrying about it.

"Hmph, even if you let me participate in the game, it won't work! I'm a woman who never lies!"

Xueyue spoke confidently, though it was obviously a lie. As the host, she had reviewed all the questions beforehand, and none of them posed a threat to her, which was the source of her confidence.

"Oh, I see."

Xu Lin squinted, a subtle smile playing on his lips, and put down his phone, muttering to himself.

"Waka... Senior Wakaba, I was just joking! Please don't take it personally!"

Xueyue immediately backed down. Although she didn't know what Xu Lin had done, she knew that apologizing first was the right thing to do!

"Relax, relax. I was just reminding the operations manager to prepare some questions for you on the spot. Don't be too nervous."

Xu Lin waved his hand and even handed his phone to Xue Yue so she could see the chat history.

"As expected, Senior Wakaba is more reliable, unlike some of the boys from the same period who are clearly old but still act like children."

Xueyue gave Xu Lin a thumbs up, then looked at Ye Jun with a look of disdain as he talked and created a good live stream effect, completely unaware that Xu Lin actually had another phone next to him with its screen slightly lit up, displaying a message from the operations hamster.

That was Xu Youyue's cell phone.

"Okay, so I've received the question from Operations Sang now, and I happen to be the first one, so I'll set a good example for everyone!"

"Sister Yi Yi~ Sister Yi Yi, could you read the question for me? I can't see it very clearly."

For this live broadcast, there were three small microphones in the living room. One was hung on Xueyue's ear for her to host, one was fixed on the coffee table behind the sofa for the livers to complain to, and the last one was placed far away from everyone, in front of the lie detector.

Each microphone can be turned on or off by the livers. Xueyue didn't turn on her microphone because she already had one.

"Alright, then, Xueyue, get ready!"

Li Huiyan readily took over the role of host from Xueyue, walked to the computer, quickly read through the questions, and then...

"Why is it that Xueyue is always the one hosting XP's major collaborations? Is it an official arrangement or did Xueyue request it herself? Why?"

"Oh, this."

Xueyue placed one hand on the lie detector and the other on the microphone near her ear, speaking calmly.

"Actually, it's half and half. At first, I did ask for it myself. Later, probably because I gave the operations team that impression, they always thought of me first when there was a similar task."

Even after we got to this point, the lie detector still didn't react.

"As for why I like being a host, it's because I admire my seniors!"

"Beep!!"

"Ouch! That hurts!!"

Xueyue was caught off guard by the electric shock and screamed in pain, only to find the entire scene eerily quiet.

The entire venue fell silent.

"Why add that unnecessary comment?"

Xu Lin sighed and immediately complained.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Far away, the loud laughter of the fox and hamster could be faintly heard by Mike, making it easily audible to the audience.

As if this loud laughter had broken something, everyone burst into laughter.

Sister Yan glanced at the comments section and, sure enough, the entertainment value was immediately apparent.

[lol]
