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

"Does Xiao Xiang want to do housekeeping services?"

China asked, silently imagining Shoko and Sose standing on either side, dressed in maid outfits.

"How come I still have the energy to think about this stuff?" she muttered to herself.

"Didn't you say you offered free housekeeping services?" Xiangzi refused, then recalled a disturbing scene.

That was the first night after he was kicked out of his family. In the cheap rented room, there was no rice cooker to cook rice, no gas stove to cook vegetables, and Xiangzi couldn't do the traditional way of starting a fire with firewood.

Or rather, she had never even cooked a basic meal.

So her first dinner after falling from rich to poor was a bowl of noodles bought from a convenience store.

She was probably so devastated by the contrast that day that she poured the seasoning into boiling water and soaked the noodles together.

So she ate a bland bowl of instant noodles, as if announcing the official start of her impoverished life.

Forget it, I don't want to think about these upsetting things anymore.

In short, tidying up the house was fine, but Xiangzi hadn't really touched cooking or anything like that over the past year.

Although she could buy a used induction cooker with the money she saved, she chose to eat out for a more affordable meal in order to save time on cooking.

Therefore, domestic services... are not an option for the time being.

Xiangzi returned to the original topic of virtual streamers.

Since the other party has offered a high salary, I must do my best to match that salary in terms of my work performance.

The draft I wrote in my notebook before was because I didn't know what China did in the virtual YouTuber industry, so it only talked about some common insights in this industry.

So she picked up her tablet and opened it, preparing to draft a customized plan for China, and discussed:

"I noticed that you posted a silhouette image of your virtual avatar on a black background on your account last time. What are your thoughts on the character design of that avatar?"

"Um……"

As the conversation turned to serious matters, China patted her face with both hands, trying to rouse herself as much as possible.

"The character I've come up with so far is very simple: she's an infiltrator who works as a live streamer, but is actually a two-faced witch sent from the demon realm, with two different identities."

Should the character be based on real-world situations? That would be good, as it would make it less likely for the actor to feel out of place when portraying the character.

Xiangzi nodded.

"Okay, I'll refine the character design and worldview based on your ideas."

Meanwhile, while Shoko was writing on her tablet, China came up with another idea.

"Remember what I said this morning? When you go to be an operations manager, I'll also let you debut as a virtual streamer. I just came up with your profile."

Xiangzi stopped writing; she had almost forgotten about this incident.

With another task added to my job responsibilities, receiving this 50 yuan is becoming increasingly reasonable.

However, at least it's not something he's not good at, such as housekeeping. Thanks to his traditional aristocratic etiquette education, Xiangzi can play the popular virtual character of a "young lady".

So she agreed, "Okay, what's the setting you've come up with for me?"

Xiangzi hopes that Qianna won't come up with any outrageous ideas, but based on past experience, that's probably just wishful thinking.

“A noble vampire lurking among humans,” Chizuru replied.

Hearing this, Xiangzi felt a little more at ease; it was a somewhat acceptable premise.

Then, Chika added the story between the two virtual characters, narrating it with a slightly expressive tone.

"This vampire is lurking among humans, seeking a job that allows her to be alone with people frequently, so that she can take advantage of their vulnerability and satisfy her thirst for blood."

"So she chose to become an agent for a live streamer."

This identity allowed her to legitimately spend time with the streamer, providing her with an excellent opportunity to exploit him.

"But as luck would have it, that streamer was actually a witch disguised as a human."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi put down his pen.

Chapter 79 Won't you take a bite?

A vampire who becomes a witch's manager...

If this setting has any metaphorical meaning to reality, it probably refers to Xiangzi exploiting Qiannai.

The one who brought up this setting was China, who felt that the salary wasn't high enough.

Xiangzi, who was accused of swindling money from others, didn't desperately try to get the job. Instead, he repeatedly declined, saying that the salary should be paid to a professional broker.

Therefore, Xiangzi felt that this was just a whim of China's and had no other meaning.

Otherwise, if China were to forcefully recruit him as her manager while simultaneously implying that it was a favor to him... it would seem to carry a sense of humiliation.

Forget it, that's putting too much emphasis on the negative aspects of China.

She was just a kind soul, imprisoned in a body that occasionally went out of control.

Therefore, after pondering the premise itself, Xiangzi expressed a positive attitude.

"A good premise: they are both outcasts lurking among humans, but they come together by chance."

"If we were to create a world view for the demon race and the vampire race, and write a story for two virtual characters, there would be many things we could write about."

Although Xiangzi was reluctant to say it, it was clear that the idea proposed by Qianna was a setup specifically for promoting yuri (lesbian) content...

Moreover, for some reason, even setting aside whether this setting has any metaphorical meaning, Xiangzi has already imagined many scenarios based on the setting itself.

But for some reason, I'm a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

No, being able to quickly come up with fragments is a talent I have for writing stories for virtual characters, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

A virtual character is a virtual character, and the person behind it is the person behind it. The two should have no connection other than the latter being the actor who plays the former.

The stories between virtual characters are not tied to reality.

So even if the story I just came up with has some subtle plot points, there's nothing to hide; it's all for the sake of the live stream's effect.

So, as Xiangzi wrote the outline on the tablet, he smoothly described the worldview and story.

"First, we need to establish a motive for why the witch infiltrated among humans."

“My thought is that, as a two-faced witch, you… no…”

Xiangzi changed his wording to distinguish between the virtual persona and the person behind it.

"As the two-faced witch you play, you have researched a kind of worship magic. The more creatures worship you, the more magic you can gain."

"So, you came to the human world where idol culture is prevalent and became a live streamer."

China listened attentively, abandoning her previous serious interviewer demeanor, and placed her hands on the chair, looking rather obedient.

"That's a pretty good concept."

China smiled expectantly.

Furthermore, she did not interrupt Xiangzi's train of thought, but continued to listen.

If she were in her manic phase, she might have started to offer her own ideas about the idea after hearing it.

Xiangzi then continued.

"As for the vampire I played, which you just mentioned, the part where he discovers you are a witch disguised as a human, and the part after that, can be written as such a plot."

"Note that when I mention 'you' and 'me' now, I am referring to the virtual characters we are playing," Xiangzi emphasized again during his narration.

"After I drank your blood, I found that the taste was not right. It shouldn't taste like a human girl."

"Then, I learned that you were a witch."

"At first I disliked your blood, but after getting used to it, I even found it had a unique flavor."

Upon hearing this, China suddenly had a strange idea.

Even though she was going through a period of depression, she still couldn't help but want to speak up, so she overcame her lethargy and interjected.

"Does my blood taste like fermented mung bean juice to you, a vampire?"

Xiangzi was engrossed in his idea of ​​an elegant story with a magical gothic feel when Qiannai suddenly pulled him out of it.

It's as if the Adams family is elegantly enjoying steak in a dimly lit restaurant, and then suddenly in the next shot they're feasting on snacks in an old street in Beiping—it's like something out of a tunnel warfare movie.

She shrugged, furrowed her brow, and complained, "Can't you just say it's a uniquely flavored spirit?"

"I'm sorry..." China immediately shut her mouth.

After calming down, Xiangzi tried to continue explaining the story's outline, only to find that his interrupted train of thought had fallen into a densely packed tunnel, and he couldn't pick it up for a while.

Looking at the time, I realized that my lunch break was almost over.

"Never mind... I'll add the details of the vampire's first time drinking a witch's blood later. Please step aside so I can play the piano and see if I can find some inspiration."

"Um...ok."

It took China considerable effort to get up from the chair.

Seeing this, Xiangzi guessed that the piano playing was out of the question. If no one was watching over her, he didn't know if Qiannai could even walk back to the classroom in her weak state.

So she took China's arm: "Come closer."

"Um……"

With Xiangzi's arm supporting her weight, Qiannai was able to take her first steps more easily.

On the way, although he had no clue what to do, Xiangzi was still trying to figure out the story between vampires and witches.

Perhaps it was because of her professional ethics that she kept thinking about these scenarios despite the considerable salary she received.

After all, this is part of the job, not something to be interested in.

But how exactly does a vampire get to drink a witch's blood for the first time?

He was a bit rough; once he had some alone time with the streamer witch, he pounced on her on the bed and then opened his mouth wide to bite her neck hard.

He had anticipated that the streamer was a witch, but he also happened to be interested in the taste of witch blood. So he used deception to reveal his identity as a vampire and asked her to give him some of her blood in exchange for his magic.

While pondering strategies... no, imagining scenarios, Xiangzi glanced unintentionally at the pale neck of the frail Qian Naiqi beside him, as if he could see the slight flow of blood through her delicate, creamy skin.

Xiangzi felt that something was wrong with his subconscious.

What's going on? Am I getting too involved?

It's a good thing to be able to immerse yourself in a virtual character; it shows that you have talent in this field and are qualified to earn this salary.

But you can't get so caught up in the role that you can't get out of it... Besides, the official live stream hasn't even started yet.

But it was precisely because of China's frail and dependent nature that Xiangzi was inspired to unleash a torrent of ideas.

She constructed a plot.

When a witch's magic power is insufficient, she will fall into a state of weakness.

At this moment, the vampire seized the opportunity to enter.

They discovered that the blood tasted strange, and that's when they realized the other party was a witch.

In a desperate attempt to survive, the witch instinctively lied, claiming that her blood would taste delicious when her magic was at its peak.

She gathers popularity through "the power of worship," thereby increasing her magic power.

So the vampire agreed to become the witch's manager, trying his best to manage the witch's livestreaming career, increase her popularity, and taste her blood again after her popularity soared.

Later, as the witch's popularity gradually increased, the peculiar flavor of her blood was still retained, but the taste did indeed become more delicious.

It's like heating up soy milk... no, it's like strong liquor becoming more flavorful with time.

So, in order to taste even more delicious blood, the vampire made a deal with the witch.

The vampire continues to help the witch build her popularity, while the witch regularly provides the vampire with blood.

Okay, let's set it up like this for now.

Chapter 80 The Broken String

On the way back to the classroom, while leaning against Xiangzi, Qiannai had been holding a grudge about interrupting Xiangzi's train of thought.

She has repeatedly emphasized to herself not to dwell on something repeatedly.
