The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 626 "Impressive! But I Just Want to Be Sensual" (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Rabbit ears...they feel so soft to the touch."

"I'm not too sure if they look real or not, I've never touched real rabbit ears before."

Xiao Xiaohua opened the tightly packaged express box, took out the bionic prosthetic body inside, and studied it with the audience.

Within minutes of starting his broadcast, over 100,000 people flooded into his live stream.

This is the highest number of viewers he has ever had during a live stream.

But now, as time goes on, that number is still climbing.

He's not a big streamer—otherwise, even a full-time streamer like Qihuahua wouldn't have never heard of him.

But his path is rather unique: he's a man with feminine features, and he entertains his male fans on live streams, or he competes with female streamers to see who understands men better.

In this field, he is undoubtedly the top streamer, with his popularity skyrocketing ahead of the second place.

Originally, this was a niche track, and even in a country like Xia Guo, which "pursues niche but is also mainstream," it was ridiculously niche.

Most of the time, he doesn't stream to make money—because he doesn't really make much money anyway.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, his original intention for live streaming was indeed personal interest; he found it fun.

But the amazing thing about the internet is that the opportunity to become famous can come to anyone at any time.

Xiao Xiaohua's first chance to become famous was by cosplaying Fei Yun, a well-known gender-swapped character from the TV series "Frost and Snow Project," which made her an instant sensation.

This allowed him to successfully gain his first batch of original fans.

This is how it entered the public eye for the first time from a niche track.

Now, the time comes.

After he released the announcement of the [Bunny Girl Cosplay and Bionic Prosthetic Body Review Live Stream], his popularity soared thanks to the momentum of Xu Meng's press conference!
Before the package even arrived, his number of followers had increased sixfold, surpassing one million!
Not to mention the netizens watching the spectacle and the die-hard fans who had followed along, even he himself was dumbfounded.

They even considered canceling the live stream at one point.

He has a somewhat vague understanding of the fact that the content of his live streams goes against mainstream values ​​and is essentially walking a tightrope.

If the impact is minimal, it's highly unlikely that anyone will bother to cause him any trouble.

But if the influence is too great and affects others, then it's hard to say.

If things go wrong, you might get reported, leading to traffic restrictions or even a ban.

Ultimately, what drove him to maintain the original plan and start the broadcast on time was not the desire for popularity and traffic, but his trust in Zhuzhuan.

As we all know, when you livestream a game or press conference related to "Dream Building," the livestreaming platform will automatically relax its review criteria.

This is an unspoken rule that no live streaming platform has ever publicly acknowledged, but which is almost universally known in practice.

Since the game is fine, the prosthetic body should be fine too!

Finally, he started broadcasting as promised.

As expected, it's become incredibly popular!

Not only did the number of viewers and fans surge, but many familiar streamers also appeared in the live broadcast room.

At first, Xiao Xiaohua would take the initiative to greet and welcome people, but later she couldn't greet everyone and had to give up, instead focusing on live streaming.

He put down the rabbit's ears and picked up the rabbit's tail.

It's a rabbit tail designed for human use, so it's much larger than a real rabbit's tail, about 20 centimeters in diameter.

Of course, many of them are furry.

If you remove the hair, the diameter is still a little over 15 centimeters.

Xiao Xiaohua pinched the round rabbit's tail and blinked. "Why does it seem... soft on the outside but hard on the inside?"

The viewers offered various explanations:
"This is a prosthetic body, not a real fleshy tail!"

"It's full of bionic nerves and tactile sensing devices, so it's all hard, of course."

"You haven't even started it yet. Why don't you try starting it?"

Is this a widget or a plugin?

……

"Oh, right!" Xiaohua nodded and looked at the last prosthetic body.

Luna's bionic breasts.

Xiaohua looked at the pair of super bouncy bionic prosthetics that wobbled like jelly when poked, and the tips of her ears turned a little red.

"If this weren't a product from Zhumeng, the livestream should have been warned by now..."

The viewers were also a bit excited:

"Warning? If it weren't for Boss Xu, you would have been kicked offline by now!"

"Should we start the trial now? Do we need volunteers?"

"I'm a little confused: how are these worn?"

……

Seeing the reactions of her viewers, Xiao Xiaohua took out a black collar with a ceramic-like sheen from the box.

"The costume itself isn't complicated; it's similar to how you usually wear cosplay props."

"This should be the key prop."

"The instruction manual says that the most perfect way to experience a bionic prosthetic body is to directly connect to brain-computer signals."

"However, brain-computer interface surgery is not currently available to healthy people. The secondary device is a signal relay cap, which can also be used as a brainwave signal collector for the dream machine."

"But that one is a bit expensive. I have limited funds, so I chose the cheapest one."

"That is, a collar."

“Just put this…” Xiao Xiaohua pointed to two silver sequins on the inside of the collar that looked like electrodes, “close to the spinal nerves at the back of the neck.”

Xiao Youhua touched the silver sequins, then touched the back of her neck and her cervical spine.

I hesitated for a second.

But he quickly put aside his hesitation and said, "Let's try it out and see how it works!"

"Let me make this clear first, I'm cosplaying as Vivian in her bunny girl outfit. I don't have Luna's... impressive figure, but this is for testing the bionic body! So you can't say my cosplay isn't accurate!"

The audience was very understanding:
"Understood, understood! Let's get started!"

"Who doesn't know? Go change your clothes."

"What are you saying? Vivian's husband strongly protests!"

"What did Vivian do to you?!"

……

Amidst the cheers and jeers of her viewers, Xiao Xiaohua shook her head and walked away from the camera with her prosthetic body.

During this brief wait, Qi Huahua's expression was contorted, her face full of question marks.

Good news: She wasn't robbed of her teammates and fans by other female streamers.

Bad news: It was stolen by Nan Niang!
It's even harder to hold it together now!

She switched the perspective back to "Under the Deep Rock" and emptied all the grenades in one go at her three teammates who were daydreaming in the pit!
Only after watching these three unreliable guys die in a loud explosion did she finally stop and switch back to watching the live stream, satisfied.

I'm annoyed as much as I am.

This kind of live-streaming content is both absurd and bizarre...

She really wants to see it too!
……

Before starting the live stream, Xiao Xiaohua had already taken care of the most time-consuming part—makeup. The remaining tasks didn't require much time.

After leaving the camera's view, he took off his clothes and put on fake breasts first. This wasn't difficult; he had worn silicone breast implants before.

Next came the rabbit ears and tail, done in no time.

Then came dressing and putting on the collar—he'd worn that before, and it didn't take much effort either.

In less than 10 minutes, Xiao Xiaohua, completely transformed, returned to the camera.

Nanaka's eyes widened instantly—

"If you're not a girl, who are you??"

They have the same face, and even the same makeup.

But with the full costume, Xiao Xiaohua, fully immersed in the role, underwent subtle changes in everything from her facial expressions to her body language—and perhaps even her mindset.

Wearing a black bunny girl leather jacket and stockings, she moved somewhat shyly and awkwardly, her pinky finger slightly raised as she showed the accompanying app interface to the camera...

"Do you think... is it possible that she's actually a girl, and that she's just dressing up as a boy and pretending to be Nan Niang for the sake of the show?" Qi Huahua asked suspiciously.

Viewers who saw Xiaoxiaohua for the first time in the live stream shared the same sentiment.

While they were beginning to have serious doubts about Xiao Xiaohua's gender, Xiao Xiaohua had already activated all her prosthetic bodies.

A faint bioelectric current made the back of my neck feel slightly tight.

But soon, this discomfort disappeared without a trace.

Instead, he felt a completely new sensation in his body!

The long rabbit ears stood up quickly as he swayed back and forth, a maneuver he was unfamiliar with.

The round rabbit tail swayed slightly.

Finally, there's... the chest.

Xiaoxiaohua felt a little cold.

There was also a feeling of tightness from being constricted by the leather jacket.

Even more amazingly, before activation, he could feel the prosthetic body squeezing his chest.

However, once it's activated, the sensation quickly diminishes to the point of being almost imperceptible.

"Can these prosthetic bodies not only add new senses, but also suppress the original senses?"

This discovery surprised him somewhat.

This also surprised the viewers in the live stream:
"Take a look at the app options; can it adjust your body's sensitivity?"

"No way, has the world's first electronic miracle oil been invented?"

"Damn it, wake up! See if you can suppress pain and fatigue! If you can do that, this thing is awesome!"

"An army that ignores pain and exhaustion?!"

"Dude, how can watching a borderline live stream veer into the topic of war?"

……

The live stream room was very lively.

Xiao Xiaohua's response was to pretend she didn't see it.

Touch the rabbit's ears and tail, and describe how it feels.

Then use the app to adjust the sensory sensitivity, and then touch it to describe the feeling.

After a while, the feeling of "suddenly having extra body parts" quickly disappeared, as if those prosthetics were naturally part of one's own body.

Later, when dancing, she became completely absorbed in the moment.

Aside from the heavy weight on his chest that swayed wildly when he danced, which he wasn't quite used to, the presence of his ears and tail felt very natural to him, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, he was already a professional broadcaster, and he quickly overcame the initial discomfort and immersed himself in the artistic world of dance.

The popularity of the live stream continued to rise.

When the fully armed, high-tech bunny girl finished her dance and started her classic live stream segment—teasing Xiao Chunan via live chat—she easily made fans blush and their hearts race, creating an explosively entertaining live stream!
The way he spoke and the subtle gestures he used left Qi Huahua in awe, and she admitted that she was no match for him.

……

……

At the same time, another "performance" was taking place at the firing range of the Ningzhou Military Region—

Five soldiers, each raising six arms, fired six pistols simultaneously!

Three of them had all four limbs intact, and four bionic arms were added using Zhumeng's technology.

The other two people are missing one arm and have a leg disability.

However, after using bionic limbs to fill in the defects, when the four people were mixed together, everyone had six arms, and it was impossible to tell who was able-bodied and who was disabled.

The bullets they fired were all equally deadly!
The only problem is that the accuracy of the shot is much worse than that of shooting with a single pistol.

But for conventional troops, this is not a problem at all.

If you can provide fire coverage, why do you need precision shooting?

Six guns firing in turn can even provide suppressive fire!
Okay, six pistols aren't really enough right now.

However, this is just a preliminary attempt—this test is only to test whether it can adapt to the coordinated operation of multiple arms after the integration of bionic nerves, as well as the difficulty of multitasking.

Once the technology is proven to be feasible, many further expansions can be made.

For example, a more robust robotic arm could be used to wrap the bionic nerves, replacing the fragile bionic arm.

For example, by incorporating an exoskeleton to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the prosthesis, or by replacing six small handguns with rifles, or even heavy weapons such as rockets and sniper grenades.

For example... integrating artificial intelligence, allowing AI to take over the arm through bionic nerves, and aim and fire on its own.

Of course, the idea of ​​artificial intelligence currently only exists on paper.

—If this thing gets hacked, that would be terrifying!

Ultimately, the test yielded mixed results:
Bionic prosthetics—more accurately, bionic nerves and their accompanying control protocols—are indeed very powerful!

It can truly help people gradually get used to limbs they didn't originally have, instead of being as clumsy and awkward to operate as with the robotic arms we tested before.

The only problem is that different people adapt differently.

Some people can operate all six arms simultaneously with ease.

Some people bring their original arms, but they can only control three arms. Any more than that and it becomes chaotic and difficult to manage them all at the same time.

This means that if you want to organize a special group of soldiers, you must screen for relevant qualities.

Looking at the results, Yin Zhiyuan's thoughts went even further:
If this technology were to be implemented in the general public—which is very likely given Xu Meng's habits—it would be quite possible.

This ability to "multitask" might create a significant gap between people—both in terms of productivity and in times of conflict.

Yin Zhiyuan is somewhat worried about the potential for technology to differentiate people.

But if he could see Xiaoxiaohua's live stream and see how netizens are developing and utilizing bionic prosthetics...

Such worries will most likely disappear immediately.
-
Of course, Xiao Xiaohua wasn't the only one who received a bionic prosthetic body.

Domestic users have been receiving calls from delivery companies and picking up their packages one after another.

It's not just people with unusual hobbies like Xiaoxiaohua who do live-streaming reviews; there are also many digital technology bloggers.

However, a serious review program can't compare to the popularity of shows like Xiaoxiaohua's cosplay and dancing.

None of the trending topics on social media are serious—

[It's arrived! It's arrived! Saying goodbye to the airport starts today!]
[The succubus's tail and little wings are so lewd! She can even control her tail to wrap around her boyfriend's waist and...you know what I mean!]
[Highly recommend maxing out sensitivity! Thank you so much, Ms. Ding, for your contribution!!]
[My husband and I ended up discussing it in bed. I know it's amazing, but we only felt a little awkward.]
[The fox's big tail...hehehe, you'll know once you touch it!]
[Holy crap, what's going on today? The 'welfare girls' on my follow list have gone wild!]
……

By the afternoon, the lifelike robots were being delivered to our door one after another. This trend not only did not weaken at all, but instead intensified!
