After taking the next step forward
"Dislike arises from thought."
I recalled things I disliked
"Naluoyin? Play."
Let the prelude to hell begin!
As the deep, resonant melody of the bel canto continued, Xiangzi struck the percussion pad, which was set to produce a "big drum" sound, three times with great force. Each strike was like the sounding of a war drum declaring war on the enemy.
Make humanity great again!
Why am I wearing a white helmet now?
[A Century of Excellence]
Chapter 184 While my sister was asleep...
""
Dancing to the limit
"?!"
Louder!
As the music faded, the grand accompaniment softened, yet its lingering resonance persisted until Xiangzi released the sustained note.
[888888]
[Hauding]
[To be able to maintain such stable breath control while singing and playing an instrument is truly impressive for a newcomer.]
After finishing her song, China breathed a sigh of relief. Although the pitch of the score was within her vocal range, it was still considered quite difficult.
She sang without making any mistakes or laughing, while Xiangzi fluently adapted the song on the spot, completing this "elegant" performance with a straight face. Both of them showed satisfied smiles to each other.
I glanced at the time; it had already been an hour.
"Shall we end the broadcast first?" China said, pointing to the OBS software on the main screen.
She felt it was a good thing to end the show after putting on such a great show, but Xiangzi's live music arrangement and interaction with the live chat was quite energy-consuming.
She could perform the entire show herself next, but she was also a little worried that her casual conversation might be poorly prepared and turn into an awkward chat, which would be a disappointment compared to her wonderful singing and playing earlier.
It's like a football match where the first half is a fierce battle with all sorts of shots, and the second half is like strolling on the grass.
Let's make more thorough preparations next time to ensure the quality of the live stream.
"Yeah." Xiangzi nodded.
"Okay," Chizuru smiled at the camera and clapped her hands. "Alright, that concludes our first live stream. Thank you everyone, bye-bye~"
The live stream interface slowly transitioned to the "Witch's Rest" ending screen, and the stream ended amidst a chorus of clapping onomatopoeia and some Chinese comments like "[It's only 8 o'clock]".
"What does 'dot' mean?" Xiangzi asked, pointing to the comments section.
China chuckled: "No, it's the Chinese '才八' (cai ba). '才八点' (cai ba dian) is 8?"
Xiangzi seemed to understand something: "It's nine o'clock here now. China uses East Eighth Time Zone as its standard time, so it's eight o'clock. That's why they say it's only eight o'clock; they want us to broadcast it again..."
"No matter what time we broadcast, they will always say it's only eight o'clock. It's a fixed joke."
"Hmm...it seems my understanding of the virtual YouTuber industry is still not deep enough," Xiangzi murmured, lowering his eyes.
"It's nothing, this meme is kind of a Renaissance."
Qian Nai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the huge amount of donations she had accumulated on her phone, and couldn't help but say with delight,
"This live stream got off to a great start, so what should we do next? Should we celebrate properly?"
Xiangzi shook his head seriously and said, "We need to summarize this live stream first, think about whether there are better things to say when interacting with the audience, and plan the content for the next live stream, such as a game segment."
"Sigh..." China slumped her shoulders in disappointment and lay down on the bed in a spread-eagle position.
She no longer dared to celebrate with someone like Xiangzi, a businessman; she just wanted to relax her mind.
I was only responsible for replying to Chinese comments and singing two songs, but I still feel so tired.
In other words, whether she has the capacity depends on whether what she does next is a valid matter.
"Did the excitement wear off so quickly?" Xiangzi had thought that Qianna would actively discuss the content of the live stream.
"Sis... could you bring me the Switch?" Chizuru's voice was languid. "And the quetiapine in the bedside table, in the little blue box."
“…Fine then,” Xiangzi said helplessly.
Afterwards, China lay on her back on the bed playing Diablo 3. Before long, she became sleepy, her eyelids grew heavy, and her hand loosened, causing the Switch to slip and fall, hitting her face.
thump??
Xiangzi, who was browsing the forum for the premiere's response, was drawn to the sound. She looked at Qiannai, who was curled up and covering her nose.
"Are you OK?"
China sobbed, "Waaah... It's okay, I'll just play on my side."
"No, looking at the screen at an angle will affect your eyesight."
"Give me the VR glasses, that way I won't get hit in the face by the handheld console."
Xiangzi sighed softly, walked over and took the Switch: "You should just go to sleep."
China thought about it and agreed. Otherwise, if someone fell asleep while playing VR glasses and woke up before they were fully awake, they would find themselves back in the game world and think they had traveled through time again.
So she covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Xiangzi sat quietly, his gaze lingering on Qiannai and the Switch in his hand for a moment.
Then, she quietly turned off the light and connected the headphones to the Switch.
"Let's relax a little..."
……
In the morning, as China was stretching her arms to yawn after waking up, one of her hands touched another person's waist and abdomen.
Xiangzi didn't sleep in the bedroom, but instead shared a blanket with Qianna, just like last time. She was still fast asleep and didn't open her eyes when touched.
A Switch was clipped vertically between their pillows, looking as if it were plugged into a dock.
"Forehead……"
China pulled out the Switch and pressed the power button.
"Oh my god..."
Looking at the top-tier equipment that had just appeared in her backpack, China excitedly blurted out in her native language.
This startled Xiangzi awake, but she quickly turned over and covered her face with the blanket.
"Just a little longer, just a little longer..." she murmured.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister~"
China said softly, then got out of bed and walked briskly to the bathroom. While brushing her teeth, she eagerly opened her phone to see what the viewers thought of yesterday's live stream. Before she knew it, toothpaste foam had splashed onto her phone screen.
"Alas!"
China quickly rinsed her IP68 waterproof phone under the tap, then pulled out a disposable towel and wiped it vigorously before keeping the phone away to prevent a recurrence of what had just happened.
The post-production team has already edited the video overnight. Each video includes highlights of the interaction with the audience, as well as the most exciting live adaptations and performances.
Another version is a pure enjoyment of all the cover songs, with a progress bar showing the coordinates of each song. On Bilibili, you can see that the last song, "Willing to Do It," has the highest play count.
Both videos garnered millions of views on YouTube and Bilibili, and even occupied two spots on Bilibili's trending topics.
"Truly worthy of being called the best editor in the world." China exclaimed as she watched the video.
Both the transition effects and the inclusion of memes were used quite cleverly and rhythmically.
For example, in the final re-singing segment, the background of the virtual character was directly transformed into a symphony performance scene in a golden hall. The instruments and timbres used in the scene and accompaniment were completely matched. Every now and then, knights in full armor would salute, and Reach warriors would salute the Master Chief. Scenes such as "Loyalty! Sincerity!" and "Heart? Offer up your heart!" would appear, matching the melody and lyrics.
The comments section was filled with praise for both the live stream and the video clips.
[At first I thought it was just a makeshift livestream, but I didn't expect the chat segment to be so engaging.]
[He already possesses the persona of a true musical genius, and as a Vtuber, he excels at evoking the emotions of his viewers.]
[The uploader's understanding of Chinese internet slang can only be attributed to guidance from Chinese speakers.]
[Speaks three languages, can chat, and is a top-tier musician... Where did I get this? Is this still the virtual YouTuber world?]
[If the heavens had not been born, the VTuber world would have remained in eternal darkness.]
The character played by Chika and Shoko has successfully created a near-perfect image in the eyes of the audience, and has become synonymous with a new god in the virtual streamer world.
Chapter 185 China's Intentions Were Good
While delighted by the enthusiastic praise, China also noticed that many comments showed signs of belittling others and excessively praising herself.
She also recalled that during her manic episode yesterday, she had no regard for the overly enthusiastic fans and instead considered the "guards" to be a beneficial presence for herself.
She subconsciously checked the comments in chronological order, and the comment section was basically covered with various supportive comments.
Let's take a look at the situation outside the official main battlefield.
She clicked on an unofficial video titled "[Major Documentary: Top Musicians Take Over the V-Circle Overnight]", and then viewed it in chronological order. Sure enough, she saw some negative comments, and naturally, there were also people patrolling the comments section to argue back.
Comment A: [holo is an insurmountable mountain]
Reply to A: I'm so happy!
Reply to B: Xingnu, calm down.
Reply to C: How can you talk like that? You can only broadcast short skits.
Comment B: [Objectively speaking, while the initial buzz for this premiere seems optimistic, it still falls short compared to the top VTubers on international platforms. The initial commentary was somewhat awkward, and it only improved with templated replies reminiscent of customer service, suggesting a lack of confidence. After that, they just used music arrangement to pad the runtime, indicating their commentary skills aren't as impressive as some of the top comments claim.]
Reply A: Is it possible that this is their first broadcast, while you're talking about someone who has accumulated fans over many years, and this is at most a side job?
Reply to B: Hehehe, live arrangement is such a great job, I can tell you the length of time it takes.
Reply to C: You actually started analyzing this seriously... How about comparing your musical skills to those of your top streamers?
Reply to D: What do you mean by a templated reply? Can't I be a little more formal when answering important questions during my first live stream? Besides, there were also times when I was easygoing and made jokes.
Reply to E: Sure enough, when someone suddenly becomes popular, they will be nitpicked and even found fault with.
Comment B copied and pasted all five replies, saying: I was just rationally pointing out some remaining issues with Am, why are you all reacting so strongly? Bilibili soybean emoji: funny face eating melon, and the adapted part can be completely put after the broadcast, just sing it live on stage, not everyone is interested in the arrangement process emoji: funny face grinning.
Reply to F: I analyzed your most brilliant part this time and called it padding. Why don't you go to the art section and say that the content creators are padding their videos?
Reply to G: Your whole family is just wasting time on Earth Online, you should log off soon.
Reply to H: For example, novel readers love to read about the protagonist's process of constantly getting stronger, and the process of adapting a song is also an interesting one. Otherwise, why would so many popular song adaptation videos include the creators' creative ideas and processes? Moreover, the explanations given by the streamers during the adaptation process are very interesting. Even I, who don't understand music arrangement, watched with great interest, and they also chatted about other topics along the way.
Comment B H: I skipped the music arrangement process in those videos.
Reply to H: Just because you don't mean others don't like watching it.
Reply to IH: You don't need to talk to him so seriously. This kind of person doesn't even have the patience to watch long videos. After saying it's boring, he still tries to force others to agree with his point of view. If a streamer really follows this kind of thinking when broadcasting, he will really lose his unique style.
China saw a comment that hadn't been posted long, but the original poster and subsequent replies had already gone on for hundreds of replies. The comment that hadn't been replied to yet was: "[Guess why so many people are criticizing you? Not everyone is as tasteless as you.]"
She clicked into the poster's homepage and saw that many people had visited homes through his reposted posts.
China then scrolled through the comments and found that some other singers and streamers' fans had been dragged down and then turned around and attacked them back, while her own fans were extremely aggressive and engaged in a war of words with them.
There were also normal discussions after a lot of build-up, such as a music teacher's serious evaluation of her bel canto singing skills: she has a good foundation, and is considered above average among her high school students. She advised everyone not to praise her as a bel canto master, but rather that her strength lies mainly in her arrangement skills.
There were also those who didn't use vulgar language, but whose remarks were extremely outrageous. Among the comments refuting them, some were reasonable and polite, while others missed the point. At this point, China felt a little embarrassed and wanted to create a new account to refute them herself.
After a moment's thought, she recalled her thoughts during her manic phase and felt it necessary to make some reasonable optimizations to these thoughts.
……
Nine o'clock.
Xiangzi was controlling a martial monk to fight monsters when, without realizing it, his perspective shifted to that of the character he was controlling, and he became a first-person viewer.
