I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

live streaming?

Cheng Che was slightly taken aback.

Online novel authors livestreaming their writing?

No, boss, you're really good at attracting attention ( )?

But then again, it's not impossible.

Given his situation, he doesn't need to worry about his writing being affected at all.

Live streaming allows you to chat with talented netizens in real life, so you'll never have to worry about being bored again.

After all, whether the viewers are haters, loyalists, trolls, or just casual viewers, they can all have fun.

Thinking this, Cheng Che made a phone call to Xiao Tang.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, Brother Che? What can I do for you?" Xiao Tang's voice came from the phone.

"Xiao Tang, help me get a live streaming setup," Cheng Che said bluntly, "like a camera and microphone, the sooner the better."

"Live streaming equipment?" Xiao Tang's voice was filled with doubt. "Brother Che, are you planning to switch careers and become a live streamer?"

Hmm... Cheng Che has both good looks and a knack for talking trash. If he really becomes a streamer, he'll definitely have a bright future.

"I'm going to livestream my writing; don't you think that's a really fun idea?"

"I don't understand, but I respect it." Xiao Tang really didn't understand; she felt that Cheng Che's brain circuits were getting further and further away from human beings.

"Okay then, Che-ge, I'll go get ready now. If all goes well, I can come find you at noon."

"So fast?" Cheng Che was taken aback.

What kind of speed is this? No matter whose logistics company it is, it can't be that fast.

She's practically a superhero!

"Oh, Lao Wang is in Shanghai right now. I'll just go to his place and grab a set," Xiao Tang honestly confessed. "He has all the good stuff, it'll be very convenient."

Xiao Tang used a top-grade Heavenly Rank cultivation technique—Uncle Comes!

"Liu Liu Liu is such a filial niece." Even through the screen, Cheng Che couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

As expected of our Studio Zero member No. 001, I chose you because of your decisive and efficient work style!

Quick and intelligent, and quite shameless... what a bunch of great qualities.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Che thought for a moment, then went to his book review section, posted a comment, and pinned it to the top.

"On [date], at [time], I will be launching my first personal live stream on [platform name]."

"Please come and bring me rice, thank you for your cooperation!"

Cheng Che does indeed have a huge following; his comment was seen and replied to almost immediately after being posted.

"????"

"Your Grandpa Zero is still a god of prophecy, level ten."

"No, putting aside why you're doing a live stream, do I have to decipher the live stream time myself? What's the meaning of those nine 'x's...?"

The meaning of sending nine "x"s is, of course, that I myself don't know when I'll be able to get the equipment set up and start the live stream... Cheng Che answered this question in his mind.

……

noon.

Xiao Tang arrived with a jumble of things—a camera, a microphone, headphones… she even brought a fill light.

"Do you know how to do it?" Cheng Che asked.

"I'm very professional at wrapping these," Xiaotang said confidently.

I used to work with Lao Wang every day, how could I not understand these devices?

"Please begin your performance." Cheng Che waved his hand and stepped out of the study.

"It's my turn to perform"—this thought automatically popped into Xiao Tang's mind.

She rolled up her sleeves and began adjusting various equipment, exuding an inexplicable and astonishing professional aura.

Cheng Che didn't disturb her. He lowered his head and went to the living room to send a message to Tian Xiwei.

As for the study, all I can say is that it's truly Old Wang's excellent equipment. Paired with Old Wang's wonderful niece, the combined efficiency is astonishing.

In just a few tens of minutes, Xiaotang had already set up all the equipment.

Under Xiao Tang's guidance, Cheng Che personally took to the test and, after confirming that everything was in order, prepared to start the live stream.

……

……

At 1:51:12 PM, Master Cheng started his live stream.

Countless users who followed Cheng Cheyin's account received a notification at this moment—

The user you are following, 'Zero (Master Xia Mi)', is currently live streaming. Come and join us!

Many people were taken aback when they saw this notification, and then immediately clicked the link to enter the live stream.

In the live stream room, a young and handsome man sat at a computer desk, his hands on the keyboard, staring seriously at the computer screen that was not being shown to the live stream room.

At the top of the live stream screen were two lines of pre-set text:

"The author of 'Dragon Raja' is writing online."

"Gentlemen, listen to the click of the keys!"

In the bottom right corner, there's a small window displaying three lines of real-time updated data:

Words written today: 0

"Writing time: 00:00:00"

"Code rate: 0/h"

Of all the things in the live stream, the title was the most shocking, boldly proclaiming—

"My wife's not home, so I'm sneaking off..."

Netizens flocked to the live stream like ants smelling honey, crowding into the room.

In just a few minutes, the number of viewers skyrocketed to over 100,000, and the comments section was refreshing at an absolutely insane rate:

[Where did 666 get 100,000+ views? Main poster, you look unfamiliar; I've never seen you before.]

[A Nidhogg has arrived in the world of live streaming!]

[Hey Che-ge, what's the meaning behind this title? "Wife's not home"... Is "wife"... Xiao Tian?]

Cheng Che glanced at the comments, sat up leisurely, and said:

"Good afternoon, everyone. This morning, while I was writing, I thought I might as well start a live stream while I was writing and chat with you all."

Who wants to chat with someone like you? (smug)

What does it mean to be idle even when you're not doing anything? How can writing be considered idle? Do you know you owe everyone 50,000 words?

[Why does it look like there's a shadow next to me? It seems to be a girl?]

This comment immediately sparked even more discussion:

[What?! There really is one! Definitely a girl? A kept mistress?!]

It's Oda, it must be Oda!

Actually, that's not the case. Oda was spotted filming this morning.

[Hooray! Could it be that Che-ge isn't just using clickbait? Xiao-tian, come back quickly, our house has been burgled (crying)!]

Cheng Che was speechless as he looked at the comments.

Xiao Tang was standing behind him at this moment, and there was indeed a slightly blurry, almost invisible shadow cast beside him.

How could this be discovered?

"Well, I didn't expect you guys to still find out even though I hid it so well." Cheng Che sighed in the live stream.

"As expected, netizens are quite authoritative on everything except finding a girlfriend."

"Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore. I'll come clean; I am indeed a girl."

Before the barrage of comments exploded, Cheng Che shouted:

"Come on in and show your face, Xiao Tang!"
