Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Furthermore, the live streaming mode has been optimized, and a "duration quota" for live streaming has been set.

Saki can choose between "live streaming" and "recording".

If you choose to stream, the system will automatically calculate and allocate a "streamable time" based on the time flow ratio between the anime world and the Earth world.

For example, if the anime series airing next week on Earth corresponds to the storyline of that anime world one month later—

So, for the next month, Qiji can choose any time period to stream, but the total duration cannot exceed seven days.

If you choose to record, you can turn it on and off at any time.

The system will edit out the most valuable content equivalent to seven days from all the publicly available material recorded by Qiji within this month, and broadcast it in the form of a "live broadcast" on the Blue Star world.

During recording, the bullet comments will not be affected, and the bullet comments will still appear in a "real-time" form for segments selected as "live".

"That's one possible solution..."

After a moment's thought, Saki decisively chose "record" over the other option.

Compared to live streaming, the advantages of recording are obvious—

It can bring together more exciting content and create a better live streaming experience.

This undoubtedly helps him maintain the popularity of his live stream.

In addition, Saki also keenly noticed something.

When recording starts, he might even be able to anticipate the situation based on whether there are comments on the screen.

For example, in certain potentially dangerous scenarios, if a barrage of comments suddenly appears in large numbers at a certain moment, is that equivalent to a "high energy ahead" warning pop-up?

This is practically a disguised "danger warning"!

Saki's thoughts began to wander, and he soon realized something else.

He can even deduce the next plot development based on the "available live stream time"!

For example, right now, in the live streaming section, the available time displayed on the system interface is—

【7/60 (days)】

In other words, when "Echoes" airs next week, the timeline in the anime's world will jump to two months later.

And two months later, it just so happens to be the first-year joint competition of Echo Academy!

It is also a very important plot point in the first season of Echoes!

At that time, the school, various families, and major forces will pay close attention to this grand competition.

It can be said to be a key stage for all students to showcase their strengths, fight for resources, and even determine the height of their future development!

And for such an important stage, Qi Ji naturally wouldn't be unprepared.

He had planned this years ago—

On that day, under the watchful eyes of the world...

He will remove his mask and call for his own "miracle"!

[The Blind Spot That Everyone's Been Watching]

[A lie believed to be true]

An existence that shouldn't exist.

The three are combined into one!

It was he, an outsider, who left an indelible mark on this world—

echo!

……

……

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Miracle of the Mask's Response!

For the next month, Saki practically "disappeared" from the academy.

He rarely attended classes, devoting all his time to intense cultivation.

It was also because of the system's "live streaming mode optimization" that Qiji only needed to accumulate seven days of live streaming time in the next two months.

This made it so that he wasn't even allowed to "work overtime".

With plenty of free time, Saki decided to use it to improve himself.

Open the book!

From that day on, Qi Ji became completely immersed in cultivation, oblivious to the world around him, as if he were cut off from all worldly affairs.

They practically lived in the cracks.

This also means that his "neighbors" living in the same crack have welcomed their strictest father!

The Ironwall Turtle clan was the most deeply affected by this.

As second-tier superior Void Beasts, they possess terrifying defenses that are almost comparable to those of third-tier Void Beasts.

Since they were born in the rift, few disgruntled echoers have come to cause them trouble.

They are happy to be free. Except when they are hungry or have a craving, they will find a few human children to fill their stomachs. Most of the time, they like to tuck their heads and limbs into their sturdy shells, bask in the sun and enjoy the warm breeze.

Enjoy the peaceful and serene lives of these turtles.

However, their peaceful lives have been shattered in the past month.

All because a human wearing a pure white mask and a black trench coat became their persistent nightmare.

This human is acting like they have a grudge against them!

Each time it appeared, it kept repeating "Fire Fist Fire Fist Fire Fist," and then—

They began to subject them to brutal and relentless beatings!

The monster seemed tireless, beating people from late at night until dawn, and then from dawn back to late at night.

The fists slammed into their hardest, most prized shells, producing a dull, drum-like thud.

It hurts so much, it's killing me!!!

They had doubted more than once whether this guy was even human...

If it were a human, how could they possibly have such strength without using an echo?!

They watched helplessly as their fellow tortoises, with their supposedly "iron walls" of shells, were knocked down, cracked, dented, and even... shattered!

terrible! ! !

They did consider escaping.

Even leaving this territory where they've lived for generations, as long as they can get as far away from that terrifying demon as possible...

However, no matter which nook or cranny they hid in, the masked monster could always find them.

They got every single punch they deserved!

As their population dwindles day by day, the Ironwall Tortoise, known for its longevity and tenacious vitality, experiences the fear of extinction for the first time.

Perhaps they were driven to the brink, or perhaps it was the instinct for the continuation of their race that erupted.

The surviving iron-walled turtles began to reproduce frantically in despair.

Since we can't fight them or escape them, let's leave behind as many offspring as possible before we're wiped out!

This is their last act of defiance!

So, when Saki returned home after resting for a while and having dinner with his sister, what he saw was this scene that sent his blood pressure soaring—

On the open riverbank, dozens of pairs of iron-walled turtles were stacked together, rising and falling in broad daylight!

"..."

Saki was stunned for a moment, and then his fists clenched immediately!

For the past month, he has not relaxed for a single moment in order to comprehend the Flame Fist!

These turtles, who were being slow and indecisive as sparring partners, are now actually engaging in another kind of slow-paced behavior right in front of him, openly throwing a sex party...

This is absolutely outrageous!

"No parties allowed here!"

The righteous Qi Ji charged into the turtle horde like a cannonball.

"Drink--!!!"

His roar of cracking down on prostitution and rigging erupted from his chest, a burst of righteous indignation!

At the same moment, the instant Saki's fist was thrown—

A sudden change has occurred!

The mask on Saki's face suddenly became hot!

Immediately afterwards, the silver patterns on the mask's surface, which had previously appeared to be decorative, suddenly lit up!

It emitted a crimson light!

The patterns resemble flowing lava, converging from the edges of the mask towards the center.

The light outlined and spread...

Finally, clear and magnificent crimson flame patterns, seemingly burning, formed on the forehead, cheeks, and chin of the mask!

The flame patterns flowed, mysterious and majestic.

At the same time—

"boom--!!!"

The blazing, intense orange-red flames, like molten lava, suddenly erupted from Qi Ji's fist, like a ferocious beast that had been imprisoned for a long time!

[Flame Fist]!

This punch, like the one Huo Mu threw that day, was also a fiery punch, yet it seemed worlds apart.

Even more solid!

Even more ferocious!

It carried an aura of destruction that seemed to incinerate everything!

The flames spread wildly, instantly engulfing Qi Ji's entire arm and then engulfing his whole body!

His entire being seemed to have transformed into a burning humanoid flame!

The intense heat distorted the air, and the sand and stones beneath their feet melted instantly.

A violent heat wave emanated from him and spread outwards in all directions!

And the fire patterns on his mask, illuminated by the flickering firelight, seemed to come alive, resonating with the flames around him!

"squeak--!!!"

The closest iron-walled turtles didn't even have time to retract their heads into their shells.

After letting out a shrill, short wail, their bodies touched the flames, and their thick shells instantly crumbled like paper...

It was ignited and melted.

In an instant, only charred remains remained!

Even Qi Ji himself was stunned by the sudden scene unfolding before his eyes.

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the burning mask on his face.

A moment later, as if he had realized something, a huge surprise came over him in an instant.

One month!

Thirty days in a row!

Hundreds of thousands of punches, hundreds of thousands of failures!

Repeated attempts, repeated failures...
