Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

At the height of the excitement in the live stream, should we pause the stream to make a phone call?

China glanced at Shoko.

Chapter 178 Please, Big Sister

"Puff puff..." China looked at Shoko and made a slightly high-pitched soft sound.

This was how she used to quietly call out to others during self-study periods.

Because some people's names are pronounced in the second or third tone, it is not easy to be heard when they are called softly. So, without any agreement, people have used the eye-catching "pfft" sound as a way to start whispering.

Xiangzi was puzzled by this, then he walked over.

What is this, beatboxing? If you want me to come over, just use hand gestures.

Because China was live streaming, she could only complain like this in her mind.

"What are you doing?" China noticed a comment scrolling by. "Oh, I was just interacting with a little snake I keep at home."

Xiangzi's voice, except for using his professional tone to replace Qiannai's voice for broadcasting, cannot utter a sound to express his emotions.

"Puff puff".

China pretended to interact with her pet, trying her best to keep her face calm. After all, her Live2D could accurately capture and imitate any of her micro-expressions, including biting her lip, frowning, and other tense and uneasy behaviors.

Outside the camera, her fingers were taut, trembling as she pointed to several missed calls on her phone screen.

I sensed that Aine was very worried. Simply explaining by typing wasn't enough; she was afraid I wouldn't be the one typing, but rather that I had been kidnapped.

China couldn't wait to voice all her thoughts, but for now she could only keep thanking everyone for their donations.

"Oh my god, I can't even read all the tips I've received, and I haven't even given a proper self-introduction yet."

"Thanks to SC for [not cutting nails last night]... Oh my god, this is only the first day of streaming..."

"Okay, I'm actually a bit of a perfectionist. I have to cut off even the smallest white hairs on my nails."

That would be wonderful!

[Innate Offensive Sacred Body]

[1's admirable virtues]

"Hahaha..." As she watched the scrolling comments, China's voice trembled slightly. She could hardly remember the virtual character settings that she had been able to recall clearly.

Xiangzi, standing nearby, tried to empathize with the situation and started sweating profusely. It seemed that being a live streamer wasn't as easy as being a customer service representative.

To be honest, this witch character is drawn in a rather 1-point style, which makes it hard not to attract this type of audience.

The original business-like voice, surprisingly, didn't sound weak when paired with Live2D; instead, it became the "frivolousness of a witch."

The artist said they'll be adding a suit to match the mage's robes later...

"Thanks to SC: [Nine out of ten OCD people are pretentious, and the other one is an expert at it]... Bro, how am I supposed to put this? I won't translate this part for everyone."

"You speak Chinese very well? Thank you. Can you humiliate me in Chinese, sister? No, you need to stand up straight."

China suddenly realized that she had already let go of the burden of being a top rising star the moment she uttered the first incredible SC.

The atmosphere in the chat window then seemed to become... more diverse.

I often find myself subconsciously replying to certain comments because they're too eye-catching...

First, I'll introduce myself, then answer some topics suitable for all ages. I don't want my livestream to get banned on the first day, or to create a chaotic, subdimensional atmosphere...

She glanced at Xiangzi again, but his face seemed to convey only the helplessness of "it's too late."

China temporarily turned off the mask, opened her eyes wide, and shook her head violently, trying her best to convey the emotion that "we can turn the tide!"

He pointed again to the missed calls on his phone screen, pleading with Xiangzi for a favor with his eyes.

At this moment, the witch boy on the screen stood at attention expressionlessly because he no longer had a face. China then said into the microphone, "Wait a moment, I'm going to get a glass of water," to brush it off and pretend that she had temporarily left the camera.

Xiangzi had devised a strategy and sent the typed message to Qiannai.

"You continue your live stream, try to keep it harmonious... Give me your phone first, I'll help you deal with Ai Yin's matter."

Chika made an OK sign, then handed the phone to Shoko, and then restarted the face capture.

"Eh, Huh?? I'm back. As a Vtuber, let me introduce myself as a witch."

At this moment, she noticed that Xiangzi had already walked outside the door. She had originally planned for her sister to perform this scene with great emotion.

"Ugh, never mind, I'm too lazy to read it."

China took a screenshot of the witch's introduction from her Twitter feed and posted it to the miscellaneous chat page.

"Oh, won't that ruin the sense of immersion for the role-playing audience? I'm sorry."

SC: [Sloth Witch]

"Hahaha……"

China smiled weakly, pressed a shortcut key to switch from her witch form to her gloomy blue form, and then kept her hands under the table.

"Ah, because magic energy is unstable, it sometimes turns into this form. I'm too lazy to even talk now. I was going to finish a song."

[Is this form convenient for slacking off?]

[At least sing "Wayhome" again, okay?]

[Sister, are you really going to go down the path of becoming a full-fledged VTuber?]

"All right, okay..."

Chinatsu switched the witch back to her normal form.

"Next, I will sing the first song that led me to the world stage, Wayhome."

Suddenly, a barrage of onomatopoeic shouts and cheers popped up in the chat box. Even though it was just text, it made China feel as if she were there, able to hear the audience's shouts.

Of course, I also noticed some conspicuous unicycles—the traffic being repeatedly sent was purchased.

Let's leave these questions until after the song is over, or maybe we'll just ignore them. Anyway, China is too lazy to think about how to respond right now.

She simply pressed a shortcut key and played a pre-recorded Wayhome video, including the lip-synced Live2D video with pre-set animations.

Because China is currently going through a period of depression, she's even too lazy to move her face.

She anticipated this situation during the live stream and prepared a "pre-made live" plan accordingly.

If I really can't pull myself together, I can only use this song as a delaying tactic, waiting for Xiangzi to come back and play it for me.

Not many people would want to watch a singer-turned-streamer do a silent live stream...

…………

Outside the bedroom door, Xiangzi was on the phone.

"Aiyin, this is Xiangzi."

“Qian Nai played games too late last night and is catching up on sleep now, so she didn’t answer the phone.”

"Yes, please don't worry, as her older sister, I will take good care of her."

"That's all for now... Um, I'm watching the live stream too. Since China is asleep, I'm watching it with headphones on."

"There's no need to add voice messages while watching, and I'm not in a convenient position to chat right now."

"Yes, I will come to your concert with Chinatsu."

"OK, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xiangzi saw Qianna slumped helplessly in her chair, the backrest adjusted to the farthest angle, while the witch on the computer screen was still singing energetically.

"Please," China said to Shoko, only mouthing the words.

Chapter 179 Sisters' Stacking Game

Seeing that there were still two minutes left before the pre-recorded performance ended, China cut off the microphone and anxiously asked Shoko how she had handled it.

“I told you you were catching up on sleep, that’s all,” Xiangzi replied briefly, just like her concise approach to handling things.

"what?"

Chika was taken aback. The method she had envisioned was more complicated than the current situation—that is, to have Shoko pretend to be her and call Aine.

"What's wrong?" Xiangzi asked.

"By the way... our voices sound quite similar, so can you imitate my natural voice?"

Xiangzi immediately guessed Qiannai's intention: "Want it to come in handy like it did in the previous situation? There's no need for that."

"Necessary."

Qian Nai sat up with difficulty, trying to make her tone more firm, but Yu Qixia lacked the strength to speak.

“I can’t keep telling them I’m sleeping every time they contact me during a live stream to cover it up, and besides…”

She was halfway through her sentence when she realized that she had less than a minute left before she finished singing, so she pointed to her legs.

"Sit up."

"What?" Xiangzi asked in surprise.

"Help me with my live stream."

"Then you go first..."

Xiangzi instinctively wanted to suggest that Qiannai move from her seat, but it was clear that the latter was too weak to move.

She leaned closer to the seat and stretched out her hands: "There are still 40 seconds left, we should have enough time to get you to bed."

“No…”, China slowly shook her head, “There are some things that I still need to reply to.”

So Pacific Rim requires two pilots to operate the Jaegers?

“Okay,” Xiangzi walked up to Qiannai. “Just to clarify, I’m not saying this sitting posture is weird, I’m just worried about making your legs go numb.”

"it does not matter."

As she sat down, Xiangzi, as always, gracefully and elegantly held onto the back of her skirt, brought her legs together, and gently sat down on... China's lap, thanks to muscle memory.

As the barrage of comments rushed across the screen, Xiangzi was unsure whether it was the live stream or the uneven pressure from the seat beneath her that made her nervous. Fortunately, Live2D wouldn't capture her blushing face.

She turned around and saw that Chinai still had a calm and gloomy face.

I remember Chika saying that the manic phase causes a person's various desires to surge, so the depressive phase is... the opposite?

So asking others to sit down was purely for the purpose of broadcasting on their behalf, and there was no other intention...

A sorrowful sage...?

Will the irritability phase be interrupted midway through?

Come back to me, until that day, I'm done.

The ending melody pulled Xiangzi back from his reverie.

Live2D transitions from preset movements during singing to a camera-based face capture.

"It's your turn to do a live stream," this thought flashed through her mind.

Just like before, when a customer called, she would immediately go from looking ashen-faced to smiling. Now, she can switch into business mode at lightning speed.

Xiangzi seamlessly transitioned to the preset Live2D expression at the end of the song, then pretended to have just finished singing and was taking a few breaths.

"Ha...ha...Thank you everyone! Thank you!"

As Xiangzi expressed his gratitude with a smile, he saw the comment "[88888]" used as an onomatopoeia for clapping. He then clicked on the "clapping" action in the Live2D settings, and the witch raised her hands and clapped them slightly.

"Thank you SC: [Ignore the unicycle, your song deserves these views]. Thank you so much for your recognition, suwa~"

Ah, I accidentally used a polite term that China rarely uses.

There is no "rich young lady" setting.

For Xiangzi, resisting the urge to use formal honorifics, much like how people in Beijing don't use retroflex endings, is a rather difficult challenge.

Meanwhile, with tens of thousands of viewers scrolling through the live stream chat, she needs to maintain ninja-like dynamic vision at all times to filter out the comments that are suitable for her reply.

The SC guild leader stays above the chat box, but only replying to SC would seem too profit-driven.

Casual conversations are not as easy as casual chats, and it's especially difficult to deal with when China is going through a period of depression.
