#WE Headline: Little stars where are you? Your teddy has blown up! Ardent fans should come and pet him! *holding glasses* 【Click to go directly to ♂】#
August 5, 21:09:18.
Twinkle Twinkle Sparkling V: Who is it? Who is it? Who in the world is it?!!! Which wild man wanted to abduct my parent!! Come out now and I’ll spare your life! *anger* 【holographic video】
This Weibo account called ‘Twinkle Twinkle Sparkling V’ belonged to a person called Ming Xing. Although he was a teddy lord boss, he was also one of the most popular WE streamers. He was number 44 on the Purple Global Artist Ranking Chart, with hundreds of millions of fans! In less than a minute, this post garnered thousands of comments. Even the little stars who were about to sleep willingly got up and put on their VR glasses—how could they sleep peacefully without seeing what this guy had done?
But to their surprise, it wasn’t the proud face of the owner who was too handsome to have friends that showed up this time, but a table of delicious food.
There was fragrant and meaty chicken soup, hot and golden fried rice with eggs, refreshing pickled cabbage and green melon roll, tender green scallops with leafy greens, mushrooms stewed with chicken that looked especially appetizing, and a bottle of milk.
Even if the dishes themselves were ordinary, they looked like they could’ve been made by a famous expert. The decadent smells that seemed to cross the screen made the bullet chat burst ↓
“Ao, I want to eat it so badly!”
“Sowing poison late at night, it seems that our teddy is really sad this time, 2333.”
“**** me. Where is this takeout from? Quickly give me the address! Sleep schmeep, I need to eat it now!”
“I won’t kill you if you give me the address!”
“Ditto!”
……
Just then, the camera turned back to Ming Xing whose face was worried.
He said: “An hour ago, a delivery boy sent over this spicy sight. He was even smiling slightly as he said: ‘Beautiful lady, the mister left a message reminding you to eat on time. It’s not good to drink coffee at night. When you’re done, remember to warm up the milk and go to sleep after drinking it’ How was this a wild man?!! He actually wants to hook up with my big parent! This is war!! (┙>∧<)┙へ┻┻ ”
By parent, he was referring to his manager, Lu Liu. The cute stars who were her fans all cared for her wellbeing. There was much discussion afoot ↓
“Wow, she met such a good man! Sister 6 should get married!”
“Yeah, get married!”
“It’s going to rain, my mother is going to get married, Sister 6 is going to get married! Congratulations!”
“If he could say such warm words, he must be a super handsome guy – no explanation needed?”
“Waiting for Sister 6’s wedding candy!”
“If Sister 6 doesn’t want to marry him, let me!”
……
Therefore, Gou Liang was told after waking up: Dear Master, you’ve made a big commotion!
The livestream room that was just opened yesterday had already attracted hundreds of thousands of fans overnight. As soon as Gou Liang entered, he received a message from 【I’m just this 6】: Sorry for the trouble my teddy caused. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything (mobile number: 135 ****). P.S. Thank you for dinner. It was the best I’ve ever had! *love you*
The first group of fans who joined yesterday also sent messages like: “Ao, ao, ao, Your Majesty didn’t turn over my card. Crying until I faint in the starry sky T ^ T.”
Gou Liang was in a very good mood.
You replied to 【I’m just this 6】: No problem. My livestream also benefited from this. I should be thanking you and your teddy. P.S. No need to meet up to discuss the ad fees =v=.
The fans who caught him while he was online became active.
“Watch the real person!”
“Sixth brother-in-law is so handsome!”
“The user upstairs should watch their mouth. Sister 6 has already sent out a WE post explaining that their relationship is purely that of a male god and his braindead fan. Don’t say things that can lead to misunderstandings.”
“That’s right, Sister 6 belongs to my star!”
“Sister 6’s such a good mother. Can’t you teddy fans let her go?”
“Haha.”
“Good morning Maimai~~ What’s for breakfast?”
Gou Liang keenly caught this line in-between the gossip about Sister 6 and the teddy lords. He said with a smile: “Good morning, &#k3010;No Umbrella If It’s Not Clear Out&#k3011;. What to eat today&#k2026;” He opened the refrigerator and took a look. He put his elbow on the top of the refrigerator door. He placed his chin on his arm and smiled at the holographic image of a girl. “I’m going to make yam barley porridge, two egg pancake rolls and a pickled cucumber. En, then I’ll steam a lotus egg custard. How does that sound?”
He filtered the barrage of voices from everyone and converted them into text. Only the fans that the Scheming Boy System indicated to have thrown roses and grenades at him yesterday were left, so the bullet chatter that entered his ears was very clear ↓
“Maimai is so good looking that it’s lethal, Sister Qing is already dead!”
“Beauty, hurry up and look at me, look at me~~”
“Wow, Maimai’s breakfast is so sumptuous!”
“I don’t want to stay in bed anymore after listening to this menu. A good day starts with Maimai and breakfast~”
“Maimai, don’t you feel bad eating so much on your own? I want to eat too!”
“Haha, I just finished work. My male god is so tired that he can’t sleep, so I got him to watch the livestream. Maimai, please cure him with your beauty!”
“Maimai is still so beautiful today~”
“The little panda pajamas are so cute. Will we get to see you in ones with little rabbits, little bears, little dragon cats and little tigers? Ao, ao, it’s more beautiful together! Maimai, let me gift it to you. You can have anything you want. As long as you wear it for me once in a while, I’ll be satisfied o(*￣︶￣*)o !”
“Upstairs wins! Light and loose gauze is the best!”
“Why be so dirty-minded first thing in the morning? Don’t listen to them, Maimai. Sailor skirts are the cutest!”
……
The topic immediately veered off into inappropriate territory. Gou Liang listened quietly, and occasionally replied.
His livestream wasn’t a serious culinary livestream. One, he wasn’t patiently teaching cooking techniques. Two, he wasn’t actively participating in the interaction like a qualified cute new face. Instead, he was doing his own thing and only bothered to open his golden mouth when he overheard something interesting. The System used to be very surprised at this, because in the single hour spent streaming yesterday, its dear host won thousands of soul coins based on his beauty alone—it was more than easy to farm the happiness of these fans who lived to see a pretty face.
But Gou Liang actually didn’t do it. It even wondered if its master was too sad and burned out his brain.
Gou Liang told it with a straight face: People can’t walk into the same river all the time. I’m not the me from yesterday, so I need to learn to look at problems from the perspective of improvement.
System: …Hehe.
Some of the new fans on the screen complained about his aloofness, some asked for attention, and others who were in love with his voice wanted him to speak more. All of them were ignored.
But strangely, no one left. Instead, on a Saturday morning, they patiently and happily enjoyed watching, live, as this beautiful man made breakfast.
Gou Liang was slowly mixing the porridge in one direction, making it more viscous and fragrant. The milk-coloured porridge was bubbling, and the smell of yam spread throughout the entire kitchen. He heard a rich young sister who had thrown him a deep-water torpedo say that she had entered the kitchen to learn how to make yam porridge from him. She was asking: “Maimai, how much rice? How much water? How many yams?” Gou Liang was about to answer when he heard the system’s prompt ↓
【Ding! The matching function has been triggered! The map will now cover the livestream room and begin a match search!】
Gou Liang’s movements stilled.
“Maimai is so pretty when he smiles!”
“Did something good happen?”
The corners of Gou Liang’s peach blossom eyes were pink from a mile away as he heard their questions: “It’s nothing. I just suddenly want to eat strawberry daifuku.”
“Sucking.”
“I’m hungry.”
“I want to eat it too!”
Gou Liang left them to their own devices. He really made a strawberry daifuku. The rich breakfast was placed on the table. Gou Liang’s long white fingers touched the virtual dew-stained roses in the studio and said to them: “Thank you for the roses. I like them a lot.”
The hearts of the fans were shaking. There was no need to say more. Roses for you! They seemed to be set on cramming the livestream room full of roses. Just imagine the sight of the male streamer lying on top of a blanket of roses—OMG, please stop bleeding so much, nose!
Gou Liang began to eat breakfast. When he got to the strawberry daifuku, he habitually went to feed the dessert to Shi Yu, who ‘liked to pretend to control him with sweets’. But when he looked over, he found that there was no one to his left.
He pursed his lips and continued to eat.
Some of the more perceptive fans felt that the smile on his face had dimmed, and they all expressed their concern for him. Gou Liang smiled slightly and said nothing. Soon the fans’ attention was diverted ↓
“Ummmmm……”
“Maimai, is your stomach okay? ”
“OMG, he really ate it all! Maimai, you could’ve left me a bite!”
“Is his stomach a black hole?”
“Having a black hole for a stomach doesn’t explain it.”
“Maimai, are you daijoubu after eating so much?”
“Maimai, since you can eat as much as you want without getting fat, we’re finished as friends. You know that right? QAQ.”
Gou Liang couldn’t help but understand why the original owner was so desperate for attention. Listening to the chatter of these fans he had never met before who were spreading soft and cute positive energy generously, his mood became brighter as well—Those who spammed the chat saying that he was a hanger-on using Ming Xing’s popularity disappeared—He cleaned up the dishes on the table. Gou Liang wiped his mouth contentedly and said: “That’s the end of Mai Tao’s breakfast time. I’ll be going first. See you guys later.”
“Oh no! I’m not ready for such a sudden goodbye!”
“Nooo!!!”
“Don’t go Maimai, please!”
“It’s customary for cute new faces to remain online 24/7! It’s easy for you to lose us like this, you know!”
Unfortunately, even the deep-water torpedos from rich fans failed to keep Gou Liang from leaving ruthlessly.
The System was busy with finding a match, and Gou Liang didn’t disturb it. He made himself a cup of tea and turned on the computer leisurely. The devices of the 22nd century were much more advanced and convenient than those of the last world. Computers had also graduated from the ultra-thin form factor that was highly praised in the 21st century and condensed into a chip form, which was easy to carry and could be used anywhere with a public network port.
Now, Gou Liang was sitting on the carpet wedging the chip into the access port on the foot of the glass table. Then, the transparent desktop was replaced by a computer interface.
Gou Liang touched the screen and opened up the search bar. He entered the keyword: Ming Xing.
——Lu Liu had directly shown her goodwill, and then there was this superstar Ming Xing with over 100 million fans. You couldn’t find such good little partners to lower the original host’s soul force even with a lantern. (*￣︶￣)
As soon as he entered Ming Xing’s personal homepage, the first thing that popped out wasn’t his information, but a big banner ↓
【In the hot preparations for WE’s centennial celebrations, your idols are waiting for you to flirt with them!】
Gou Liang didn’t pay it any attention. He scrolled down to check the information.
Ming Xing was the only son of a major WE shareholder. As soon as he started his career, he was praised by WE who then diverted the resources of many artists with strong fan bases, which hurt the interests of some artists and the feelings of their fans. Therefore, he was criticized from the start. However, Ming Xing’s natural bear child nature came out to play. He was combative from the day he was born, so this little storm didn’t scare him at all. He started retorting to unpleasant comments in full view of the media: Come on, let’s both get hurt ah~
……He was still alive and well thanks to him having a good father.
However, he was able to join the Purple Global Artist Ranking Chart at the age of 30—in an entertainment circle which was already saturated with talent—not only due to his background, but also by his own strength.
In this era of national entertainment, the most attention wasn’t given to the wage adjustment bill, but the Global Artist Ranking Chart.
Every notable artist was on either the cute-new-face white list, blue, teal, green, yellow, orange, red or the top-tier purple list. Their qualifications, popularity, works and potential assessment were all clearly displayed to the public. It was subject to the supervision, review and appraisal of the Artists’ Association, which was composed of global entertainment giants and professionals.
The Global Artist Ranking Chart was updated on a quarterly basis. There was no limit to the number of people in the white, blue, teal and green categories. There were 400 spots on the yellow list, 300 on the orange list and 200 on the red list. As for the purple list, only the top 50 people with the highest evaluation scores could be on it.
The changes on the list directly reflected the fierce competition in the entertainment industry.
Gou Liang followed his finger down to see Ming Xing’s works, but his eyes were attracted to the first person on his related artists list. At the same time—
【System: Ding! Dear Master, the mission target has been located! The soul’s match rate: 99.99%!! Starting the scan of the target’s soul right now!】
Gou Liang saw through the System’s monitoring and the computer desktop on the glass table suddenly became a big blindspot.
He blinked and separated from the monitoring before looking again. The desktop had recovered a large and high-definition picture of a man. He had a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes that caught his attention before. His features were deep, strong and extremely valiant. He seemed to be quietly staring at you through the screen. His gaze was one part cold, two parts arrogant and seven parts careless, but it wasn’t offensive. Instead, other people subconsciously agreed: he should be this way.
【System: Ding, target’s basic information scan has been completed!】
Name: He ChongFeng
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Height: 193 cm
Appearance: ★★★★★
Intelligence: ★★★★★
Strength: ★★★★★
Health: ★★★½
Potential: Grade S
Current favorability value: +1.
The picture on the tabletop displayed the man’s signature that seemed to be flying and dancing: He ChongFeng.
Gou Liang smiled and his eyebrows relaxed. As he thought, it was him.
He opened the Baike page about this person while he listened to the System listing off the basic information about the target ↓
He ChongFeng. Global artist ranking · number 9 on the purple list.
At the age of 17, he made his debut with the movie ‘Young Emperor’. This historical masterpiece depicted the life of Emperor Cheng Wu, a brilliant young emperor who ascended the throne and brought peace to a troubled era, dying of serious illness in the end. He played the first male lead. From the age of 14 to 40, from high-spirited to ill and tyrannical, he successfully captured the essence of an emperor of great talent and strategy.
His excellent acting skills attracted much attention as soon as he started his career. He won the best newcomer award of the year in China and was nominated to become a film emperor.
Ten years later, he became a real film emperor.
Although he was famous for his icy temperament, his fans were still willing to go through fire and water for a single smile from him; they were even willing to be dogs instead of humans!
A year ago, in the ninth year after his debut, he ranked in the top 10 of the purple list at the age of 26, becoming the youngest in top 10 on the Global Artist Ranking Chart. If he wasn’t a junior in the circle, he could be called the number one person in China with his popularity and strength.
It was known to the outside world that he was like Ming Xing, a relative of WE, a well-off second generation with abundant wealth.
But only a few people knew that the holographic technology that they were now advertising which had pioneered the whole entertainment era was created and developed by He ChongFeng—he was only 14 years old then.
In just three years, He ChongFeng made this revolutionary technology available to the whole world—Gou Liang thought about Hacker Emperor Shi Yu, and his feelings towards the technology genius He ChongFeng became a bit fonder—but just when everyone was excited and celebrating this technology, this great and young chief engineer put forward a decision that made them trip and break their glasses.
He wanted to make his first public appearance as an artist.
It turned out that some people could reach the top even if they didn’t rely on their talents and their looks.
The System also found out that his agent was ‘No Umbrella If It’s Not Clear Out’ from the studio.
It was she who pulled He ChongFeng into the livestream room that triggered the System’s matching function, and the +1 favourability value was from her influence as well. Gou Liang’s curved index finger touched his lips. He smiled: I like this beginning.
The basic information was limited, but He ChongFeng was a big movie emperor who had eyes on him everywhere he went. As long as he had the drive, he could find out when and where he ate anything. The System squirmed into the network and happily grabbed all the information about He ChongFeng for Gou Liang, who easily absorbed these complicated details with his powerful memory.
But it was strange that, although they scraped the whole network and even the internal networks of WE and He ChongFeng’s studio, they didn’t find any record of ‘He ChongFeng’s recent decline in health’.
He still worked like he usually did, going to all kinds of places while showing his best side to the public. Recently, he had also been staying up late due to filming the movie 《Agent of War》, which made fans express their heartache in succession in the replies of the vlog released by He ChongFeng’s studio. They were also looking forward to the movie coming out soon.
…This act basically covered 360 degrees with no dead angles.
Gou Liang couldn’t help but think that the System had made an error in its evaluation. However, the fact was that the current health value of the great movie emperor was only three and a half stars!
【Gou Liang: Little Wanton, give me his medical record.】
【The System agreed with great enthusiasm, but soon: Master, the medical record of the target cannot be retrieved due to unknown reasons. This has already been reported to the Main System. Please wait patiently.】
【Gou Liang: ……As expected, history finds a way to repeat itself.】
【System: ┬ v ┬】
