Chapter 167: Streaming
They slowly released him.
Shen Tian rubbed his forehead.
"What exactly does everyone want?"
Bai Xue smiled.
"Attention."
Shen Tian stared.
"At two in the morning?"
"Yes."
Yin Suyi nodded.
"Correct."
Shen Tian looked around.
Eleven women.
Eleven completely serious expressions.
He surrendered.
"Fine."
Instantly...
The atmosphere changed.
Chu Mei cheered.
"Movie!"
Chu Chuchu pointed toward the theater.
"Snacks!"
Yin Suyi grabbed Shen Tian’s hand.
"My son sits beside me."
Shen Yan grabbed his other hand.
"My brother sits beside me."
Their eyes met.
Sparks practically appeared.
Shen Tian sighed.
"Here we go."
. . .
The next morning...
Shen Tian woke surprisingly late.
He walked downstairs.
Then stopped.
Everyone was waiting.
"..."
Ling Shuangxue held coffee.
Bai Xue stretched.
Chu Zijin looked excited.
Shen Tian narrowed his eyes.
"What?"
Yin Suyi smiled.
"We’re playing."
He blinked.
"Playing what?"
Everyone pointed toward the entertainment wing.
Shen Tian stared.
"...Eternal Realm?"
"Yes."
Chu Mei pumped her fist.
"Carry us!"
Chu Chuchu nodded.
"Carry!"
Shen Tian looked toward Xu Ning.
[Your fault.]
’How?’
[You made the game look fun. They also want to be with you.]
He sighed.
"Fine."
. . .
An hour later...
Greenleaf Village experienced something unusual.
Twelve beautiful female characters appeared almost simultaneously.
Players stopped.
"..."
One man walked into a wall.
Another forgot he was fighting a chicken.
The chicken killed him.
Shen Tian stood nearby.
He stared at the group.
Yin Suyi had kept her appearance almost identical.
So had Shen Yan.
Ling Shuangxue selected Mage.
Bai Xue chose Warrior.
Ruan Yizhen immediately chose Ranger.
Chu Luoshen became Cleric.
The others experimented.
Shen Tian looked at them.
"Everyone ready?"
"Carry us."
He sighed.
"Right."
And he did.
For the next two hours...
Shen Tian became a leveling machine.
Goblins died.
Wolves died.
Slimes died.
A field boss died before several confused players could even tag it.
Golden light repeatedly surrounded the women.
LEVEL UP!
LEVEL UP!
LEVEL UP!
Chu Mei cheered.
"This is amazing!"
Ling Shuangxue stared at her level.
"This feels slightly unfair."
Bai Xue smiled.
"I don’t care."
Yin Suyi hugged Shen Tian’s arm.
"My son is amazing."
Shen Yan immediately grabbed the other.
"Obviously."
Shen Tian sighed.
Eventually...
The women began discovering other things.
Crafting.
Shopping.
Housing previews.
Professions.
Fishing.
Alchemy.
Cooking.
Chu Zijin and Li Lian discovered music-related professions and disappeared immediately.
Chu Luoshen became fascinated by the NPC school system.
Ling Shuangxue found the marketplace.
That was dangerous.
Within thirty minutes...
She was analyzing virtual commodity prices.
Shen Tian watched everyone scatter.
"...Well."
Xu Ning scratched her cheek.
[You’re free.]
"Finally."
He messaged Jiang Feng.
ShenTian: Online?
The reply came quickly.
FallenWind: Yeah.
FallenWind: Moon’s here too.
ShenTian: Location?
A marker appeared.
Shen Tian smiled.
Twenty minutes later...
The trio reunited.
MoonPetal immediately smiled when she saw him.
"You’re back."
"Apparently."
Jiang Feng looked amused.
"You vanished."
"Real-life emergency."
"Everything okay?"
Shen Tian remembered eleven women surrounding his capsule.
"...Define okay."
MoonPetal laughed.
Jiang Feng didn’t ask.
LittleMaple wasn’t there.
Shen Tian noticed.
"Where’s Maple?"
Jiang Feng shrugged.
"Offline."
MoonPetal immediately smiled mischievously.
"Oh?"
Jiang Feng stared.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Don’t."
"I didn’t say anything."
Shen Tian smiled.
Jiang Feng pointed at him.
"You too."
"I didn’t say anything either."
"Your face did."
Shen Tian paused.
"...I’ve heard that before."
They spent the afternoon questing.
And something unexpected happened.
They became friends.
Not immediately.
Not dramatically.
It simply...
Happened.
Jiang Feng was competitive.
Shen Tian was worse.
MoonPetal enjoyed provoking both.
Every damage ranking became a competition.
Every boss became an argument about who could land the final hit.
Every rare drop created negotiations.
MoonPetal eventually stopped pretending to be annoyed.
At one point...
They encountered a Level 10 elite wolf.
Shen Tian and Jiang Feng simultaneously charged.
MoonPetal shouted,
"I NEED EXPERIENCE TOO!"
Neither listened.
She blasted both with a harmless wind spell.
They turned.
MoonPetal pointed her staff.
"My kill."
Shen Tian and Jiang Feng looked at each other.
Then stepped aside.
MoonPetal killed the wolf.
She turned proudly.
"See?"
Shen Tian applauded.
Jiang Feng nodded solemnly.
"Incredible."
MoonPetal narrowed her eyes.
"You’re mocking me."
"No."
"Absolutely not."
She attacked them.
Later...
They sat outside a town they’d recently discovered.
MoonPetal looked toward Shen Tian.
"You should stream."
Shen Tian blinked.
"What?"
Jiang Feng nodded.
"Actually... She’s right."
Shen Tian looked between them.
"Why?"
MoonPetal stared.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"You practically soloed the hardest beginner dungeon."
"So?"
"You hit ridiculous shots."
"So?"
"You look..."
She stopped.
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
MoonPetal’s cheeks warmed.
"...Marketable."
Jiang Feng looked away to hide a smile.
Shen Tian laughed.
"Marketable?"
"Yes."
MoonPetal crossed her arms.
"You’d get viewers."
Jiang Feng nodded.
"A lot."
Shen Tian considered it.
He had no need for money.
But...
Streaming could be useful.
Information.
Influence.
Reputation.
More importantly...
It sounded entertaining.
"Fine."
MoonPetal blinked.
"Seriously?"
"Why not?"
Her face brightened.
"I’ll watch."
Jiang Feng smiled.
"I might too."
Shen Tian opened the game’s streaming interface.
Create Channel?
"Sure."
Channel Name: ShenTian
Stream Title?
He thought.
Then typed:
First Week. Ranger Gameplay.
MoonPetal stared.
"That’s terrible."
"What?"
"Your title."
"What’s wrong with it?"
"It’s boring."
Jiang Feng nodded.
"She’s right."
Shen Tian sighed.
"Fine."
MoonPetal leaned over.
"Put..."
She thought.
Then smiled.
[FIRST CLEAR RANGER | HARD MODE | BOSS HUNTING]
Shen Tian stared.
"That’s obnoxious."
"That’s streaming."
Jiang Feng laughed.
"She’s right again."
Shen Tian started the stream.
At first...
Three viewers.
Then seven.
Twelve.
Twenty-eight.
Someone recognized his username.
Chat:
"WAIT"
"IS THIS THE FIRST CLEAR GUY?"
"SHENTIAN FROM FOREST RUINS???"
"NO WAY"
The viewer count jumped.
63
119
284
Shen Tian blinked.
"That was fast."
MoonPetal smiled.
"Told you."
They continued playing.
Shen Tian forgot about the stream within minutes.
That helped.
He didn’t force reactions.
Didn’t exaggerate.
Didn’t scream when something dropped.
He simply played.
And viewers watched.
His accuracy became the attraction.
Chat:
"HOW DID HE HIT THAT"
"BRO DOES NOT MISS"
"THIS RANGER IS DISGUSTING"
"AIMBOT LOL"
"THERE IS NO AIMBOT IN THIS GAME! THEY HAVE AN ANTI CHEAT!"
"THEN EXPLAIN HIM"
Shen Tian read the chat.
"Skill."
The chat exploded.
"LMAOOOO"
"HE JUST SAID SKILL"
