The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

After making a joke, Mouse Tail Juice chuckled, his expression turning serious again.

The live stream's pace varied, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, keeping everyone hooked.

"The official website of Wasteland Era says that you need to drip blood to hatch it, but luckily I was prepared."

As she spoke, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of viewers, she made a move that nearly made everyone's jaws drop.

She pouted and took a big sip.

Then, with a "pfft," he spat on the giant egg in his hand.

That saliva, still tinged with obvious blood, stood out starkly against the yellowish-brown eggshell.

The live stream went silent instantly.

After a pause of one second, the barrage of comments erupted in a burst.

[Holy crap, streamer, you...]

【vomit......】

Has she forgotten she's a girl? This is incredibly audacious!

I was deceived by this pink room; my girlish heart is shattered into pieces!

[Now I finally understand why the streamer is called "Rat Tail Juice." I was careless; it's a pity I didn't flash.]

Wang Qi looked at the screen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This guy, who's a livestreaming genius, always manages to create the most explosive effects in the most outrageous ways.

Looking at the reactions of the comments, Haoziweizhi chuckled, revealing his harmless dimple.

Mouse Tail Juice: "Don't misunderstand, everyone. I've been eating too much instant noodles lately, so I'm a little feverish and my gums are bleeding."

She explained with an innocent look on her face.

"They only said they needed blood, but what kind of blood? What else could it be but blood?"

"Besides, people are afraid of pain..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and slowly spread the blood-tinged saliva on the eggshell.

However, the viewers in the live stream witnessed this scene.

She vomited even more violently.

But just as the bloodstains were being smeared evenly onto the eggshell...

"Click."

A very faint yet incredibly clear cracking sound rang out.

The sound of shattering was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating a huge wave in the live broadcast room.

Then came the second tone, and then the third tone.

"Click...click click..."

The cracks, centered on the bloodstains, spread rapidly like a spider web across the entire eggshell.

The user held their breath, and so did the 100,000 viewers; even the comments section seemed to freeze.

All eyes were on the giant, yellowish-brown egg that was about to hatch.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an eggshell was popped open from the inside and fell onto the table with a crisp sound.

A fluffy, wet, yellow little head peeked out from the hole.

It curiously shook its head, its two small, black bean-like eyes darting around before finally locking onto the mouse tail juice.

"grumble?"

A tender, questioning cry.

Then, with all its might, it broke free from the eggshell and stood up unsteadily.

A little chick, soaking wet and with its downy feathers all matted together...

The live stream was silent for a full three seconds.

The next second, the comments section went completely crazy.

Wow, it really is a chick!

The small knife I saw when the light was on must have been a chicken wing.

[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! I fucking thought I was going to get something awesome, but it's just a common chicken!]

[210 Source Crystals, that's all? Streamer, I call you the biggest sucker of the year!]

[I feel like I've been scammed, but I can't report it to the police. Just tell me if the withdrawal was successful or not.]

Good news, the withdrawal was successful. Bad news, it's a little chick.

[Alright, alright, host, get the recipes ready. This chicken looks pretty plump; chicken stew with mushrooms would be delicious.]

The person in front of the screen, Haoziweizhi, was completely dumbfounded.

鸡？

It really is a chicken?

Those netizens who loved watching the drama unfold actually made a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Jokes aside, this joke has gone too far.

That's 210 Source Crystals! It's all the wealth she painstakingly accumulated by killing monsters in the game day and night, and even by humbly buying them from others!

Just for this one thing?

A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and even the tips of his fingers trembled slightly.

It’s over.

I'm really going to cry this time.

but.

The live stream's popularity did not decrease; on the contrary, it soared because of this dramatic scene.

But the constant mockery and ridicule on the screen felt like needles pricking her heart.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The little chick had no idea what kind of inner turmoil its owner was going through.

It seemed to be full of curiosity about this new world, and also full of attachment to the humans it saw for the first time.

It took two thin legs and stumbled towards the hand holding the mouse tail juice.

Then, it stopped and suddenly shook its body.

"Puff puff puff—!!"

The body, which was originally wet, became fluffy and dry at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was clean, but a large area around it was ruined; the table and the phone were splattered with sticky water stains.

However, it was completely unaware, and simply nuzzled its furry head against the mouse's tail-like paw.

The soft touch and warm body temperature brought Mouse Tail Juice back to her senses from her great disappointment.

At that moment, the sentiment in the live chat, which had been focused on the spectacle, subtly shifted.

Without comparison, one has no right to speak.

When that furry yellow head and the hand of the rat tail appeared side by side in the shot, someone quickly noticed something was wrong.

[Ber? Wait a minute! Look closely! Is this really a chick? Its head is bigger than the streamer's hand!]

Holy crap! It really is! How can a newly hatched chick grow this big? This doesn't make sense!

[I knew it! In "Wasteland Era," if something as absurd as item monetization is possible, how could it possibly hatch into an ordinary chick?]

[And have you noticed how incredibly intelligent it is? It knows who its owner is and will even approach them on its own!]

[Regardless of whether it's a chicken or not, just for its looks and intelligence, I'd accept it even if it were just an ordinary chick!]

The reminder from the comments instantly brought Haoziweizhi back to his senses.

She looked down at the little yellow fluffy ball rolling around in her palm, and the frustration and despair in her heart quietly dissipated a bit.

Yes, it's still being streamed live!

The number of likes in the live stream exceeded one million in just half an hour, and the gift effects never stopped!

Regardless of whether it's a real chick or not, let's grab this wave of traffic and gifts first!

With such a huge audience for Wasteland Era, even if we lose this gamble, we can simply switch to a different genre.

If I can't be the top internet celebrity of "Wasteland Era", then I'll be the number one hater of "Wasteland Era"!

Even those who deliberately nitpick and find fault can still get attention!
