Tokyo Soft Rice King.

When she heard it was a 2D game, Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed. After all, she was really a little afraid of ghosts.

"And if we're going to do it, we'll make a game that nobody has ever seen before!"

"Huh? A game that nobody's seen before? You mean one of those niche games?"

"Yes, and ideally it should be a niche, indie, high-quality horror game that even the audience can't understand, requiring the audience to focus on listening to your translation and explanation."

"Oh! I see! There are no foreign games in Japanese!"

"That's right! I've seen quite a few interesting-looking horror games on foreign websites, especially those from the other side."

When the class monitor suggested making a Chinese-style haunted house for the cultural festival, Akira Kuroba thought it was too niche. But he later realized that Japan had become the recipient of cultural export in this world, so Chinese horror was not actually niche at all.

The depressing and eerie atmosphere created by folk allusions and historical legends fits in perfectly with the local ghost story elements of Neon, so it has become very popular.

Incidentally, Class 1 of Grade 1 also won the 'Most Popular Award' from the Student Council at this year's cultural festival. The class monitor told him this in a message, which is enough to prove that this area is very popular.

"But... I can't read Chinese..."

"It's okay, I can understand it. In the future, when you record gameplay videos of horror games, I'll be right next to you and translate in real time."

"Ming, you even know such a difficult language?"

Yes, it's an innate talent. It's a gift that transmigrators possess, and besides being used for reading, it can finally be put to good use in other areas.

“It’s a basic skill in our family.”

"What's going on in your family...?"

Hello, this is a dormitory for transmigrators. The landlord is also the wife of a previous transmigrator, and it also has a Chinese localization module installed.

"In short, if you want to develop your career overseas in the future, it's quite important to know a language with a wide reach. Ziyin is learning one now, right? Ziyin?"

"Ah, yes, that's right... I'm learning too, and I've already finished learning pinyin."

Somewhat distracted, Ziyin only snapped back to reality after hearing Kuroba Akira's words. Fortunately, she had still heard the conversation and was able to give the correct reply.

"Look, Ziyin is already preparing for her future career, so that it will be easier for her to go overseas after she becomes famous in China."

To become an international star these days, you need to know some foreign languages. And in this world, the mysterious Dongda University has risen to prominence, boasting the largest population, the strongest power, and the widest influence. Therefore, the first choice for foreign language is undoubtedly the beautiful local dialect.

Moreover, this is more convenient for Kuroba Ming himself, as he feels more comfortable speaking his hometown dialect.

Hearing that Ziyin was also learning it, even though she was initially hesitant, she decided to give it a try and challenge herself with the world's most difficult language.

"Hmm... I'll learn it when I have time later... Ming, can you teach me?"

"Sure, playing horror games is a way to learn a language, which is killing two birds with one stone for your future. And if I'm there when you play, you won't be so scared, right?"

"Ok!"

When she thought about having Kuroba Ming by her side, Takanashi Mirai felt very relieved and smiled happily.

"So, should we look for games first?"

"Don't rush today. I'll help you list some horror games that are suitable for making videos, and I'll also help you plan your future career path to become the number one streamer in Japan, or even the world!"

Kuroba Akira exaggeratedly pointed his index finger to the sky, and Takanashi Mirai followed suit before complaining.

"Oh! Becoming the world... uh, wait, number one in the world is too exaggerated!"

"You should set your goals high. And if you want to surpass Akiko-san, you have to do it to that extent, right? After all, Akiko-san is already a national-level voice actress."

"Uh...you're right...I suddenly feel so much pressure, and the more I think about it, the more amazing Mom is..."

"Relax, relax, I'll tell you how to take each step."

Akira Kuroba patted Mirai Takanashi on the shoulder and gave her a massage, while Mirai happily swung her legs.

"So, Ming, you're my strategy guide."

"I should say you are the character I nurtured."

"Then don't turn me into a useless character, okay? After all, you can't reload a save file in life."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you the most popular online streamer! You'll become a living legend in this industry!"

Thus, the initial direction of the video was decided, and this became the 'starting point'.

The 'end' of Takanashi's future career path is actually quite predictable.

That’s right, that’s the final form of the internet anchor!

A 'virtual streamer' that combines live streaming, gaming, song covers, casual conversations, and other antics!

The emergence of virtual anchors has brought viewers a brand-new interactive experience and entertainment enjoyment. The essence lies in blurring the boundaries between the three-dimensional and two-dimensional worlds, making it easier for people to immerse themselves in the emotions, which is why a large number of virtual anchors have emerged.

When it comes to the level of fan engagement, virtual streamers are definitely far ahead.

Of course, there are also many problems in this circle... various forms of cyberbullying, unboxing, inflammatory remarks, stirring up trouble, taking things out of context, and so on.

But there is nothing wrong in being the first to try something new.

As long as you accumulate enough fans at the beginning, and the scale is large, there will be more white pieces than black pieces, and the fans will help to whitewash you, which can effectively avoid many controversies.

However, if a real person transforms into a virtual streamer, the most important element, the 'virtual feel,' is lost, and the transformation effect is generally poor.

Therefore, considering the final visuals, it would be better to not show up at the beginning.

Then it would be best to process the voice simply, making it more neutral. If it's hard to tell whether someone's voice is male or female just by listening to it, the audience will be wider.

Once live streaming platforms are available, we can make Wei Lai one of the first streamers, create a virtual persona for her, and debut her as the first virtual streamer, thus maximizing her popularity.

Next is the identity of the person behind the character, which is also a very powerful card. If used well, it can boost one's popularity to a new level.

For example, after accumulating a certain number of fans, she might 'accidentally' reveal her identity and let everyone know her real name, and then tell everyone that Takanashi Mirai is actually the daughter of the famous mother-type voice actress, Takanashi Akiko.

Then they even had the mother appear on camera, a mother-daughter live stream together... Does that sound a bit... off? *cough cough*

By then, Ziyin should be famous, and if Ziyin and the future do a 'joint live stream', the fan-attracting effect should be even stronger.

In fact, online streamers eventually tend to become 'idolized', just like mainstream idols, only separated by a screen.

At this stage, there's no need to rush to design a 'skin' for the future, but considering the establishment of public perception, we still need something representative.

Like Qin Chuan's dog, Lao E's frog, Fubuki's fox, Aqua's... anchor?

In short, when you mention these live streamers, you can think of one thing: their unique trademark.

And this is also part of the 'persona'.

In addition to these, there are personality traits and verbal tic, such as being a hardcore gamer, having a funny personality, or being a big eater, etc.

In Japan, they pay special attention to 'creating a persona', and Akira Kuroba will also help Mirai Takanashi discover all sorts of eye-catching 'persona labels' in the future.

In short, as for the logo... since it's named after Takanashi, why not just use Takanashi (Little Bird)?

Hmm... I'll discuss it with Future later, and then I'll have to ask Aiyuan Moe to draw it.

It seems that art is really important; it's used in almost everything...

My dear Mengmeng, I'm so glad I met you, otherwise this career would have been impossible to manage.

While Kuroba Akira was talking to Mirai and thinking about his future career as a broadcaster, Shion remained silent.

But she could see that Kuroba Akira was keen on being an advisor to Kotori Yuu in the future.

He's the same now as when he was explaining animation and dubbing to me, and he even seems to be more enthusiastic than when he was making plans for me...

And Takanashi Mirai is her past self.

My heart aches.

It's a very unpleasant feeling.

There's a feeling of 'forgetting the old when you meet the new,' and I'm the one who's been neglected.

Ziyin knew she shouldn't think that way; Heiyu Ming only wanted to help the future develop better, but she couldn't suppress her jealousy.

At this moment, Ziyin remembered what the woman she hated the most had said to her. She said that there were many geniuses like her who had the support of wise rulers, and she was not the only one...

Although I hate it, she's right.

If you want to stay by the side of a wise ruler, you must continue to develop your talents and make yourself shine, so that you can attract his attention.

To make the wise ruler look to him again.

Instead of being a resentful woman here, envying Takanashi's future talent, you should think about what you can still do.

As a singer... if possible, Ziyin would like to try this new track.

"However, I feel that Shion-nee is more likely to become the world's number one than me..."

Akira Kuroba nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

Suddenly being praised by the two, Ziyin, who was just jealous, suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.

"Huh? Me?"

Takanashi Mirai nodded and continued.

"Yeah, I think you're really suited to be a 'singer', Ziyin-jie."

"Singer?"

Hei Yuming helped explain.

"It refers to amateur singers who upload cover songs to video websites... However, it would be too unfair for you, Ziyin, to become a singer."

It was basically a beating of a child.

"What's so unfair about this! A lot of singers post cover videos online these days! Ziyin, why don't you give it a try? You don't even need to show your face when you post a video, and I happen to have professional recording equipment at home!"

Takanashi Mirai's ulterior motives are laid bare; she also wants to take this opportunity to guide Shion onto the path of a singer, working together with her mother to advance her family's happiness plan.

"I see... Wise ruler, may I give it a try?"

Ziyin was indeed somewhat tempted, but she still wanted to hear Kuroba Akira's opinion.

After thinking it over, Kuroba Akira felt that it was indeed possible to let Ziyin try out the music as an online singer first. If Ziyin really felt that singing was more suitable for her, she could switch to a career as a singer.

They'll have to find another record company instead of a voice acting agency.

Is Ziyin really going to become the Masked Singer...?

"If Ziyin, you really are..."
