Volume 1 Chapter 10: Will You Stream Again in the Future?
Sss—
The moment she saw that small red notification dot, Lin Lin already felt that something bad might be coming.
Still, she was a bit too innocent. She thought it might just be a new fan sending her some advice about streaming.
Who knew…
It was actually Dog Bro.
To her, Dog Bro was a big deal.
And big deals usually mean… hard to deal with.
Especially since Dog Bro had spent quite a lot of money on her stream tonight.
That made it even harder.
So before opening Dog Bro’s private message, Lin Lin made all kinds of guesses.
What does this guy want from me?
Hmm…
After thinking for a while, many ideas came to her mind. In the end, she still decided to open it and see.
She opened the message…
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Will you still stream in the future?】
Huh?
Lin Lin froze. She really didn’t expect such a simple question.
This…
It’s not like she really wanted to stream, but if she stopped, the system would turn her into a trash can.
So how could she suddenly quit?
She felt the question came out of nowhere, but she still replied politely.
【Ari-chan: Sorry, I just went to wash up and only saw this now. Of course I’ll keep streaming. I’ll definitely continue! My goal is one million followers! Um… by the way, Dog Bro, why did you suddenly ask this?】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Nothing special. I’ve seen many streamers quit after one or two days because they couldn’t get used to it. So… I just wanted to ask how your first stream felt.】
Ah…
Lin Lin looked at the reply and scratched her head.
Is that so?
She hadn’t really paid attention to small VTubers before…
But thinking carefully, what he said did sound believable.
Being a VTuber looks easy, just wear an avatar, no need to show your real face, so even people who aren’t good at socializing might handle it.
But…
In the end, it’s still being a streamer.
A job that needs to talk and interact with viewers… yeah, for someone socially anxious like Lin Lin, it’s still pretty hard.
Even she felt a bit overwhelmed tonight.
But she had no choice. If she didn’t stream, she’d turn into a trash can, or worse a “fan-service streamer.” Wuwu…
Back to Dog Bro, Lin Lin tried to guess his thoughts.
Could it be…
That because he spent money on her tonight, he’s worried she might disappear?
Hmm…
That actually sounds possible.
Wait, should she try to reassure Dog Bro a bit?
After all, he might give gifts again in the future and bring more popularity points. At this early stage, she really does need loyal fans like him!
And honestly, Lin Lin was truly grateful to Dog Bro. Since she planned to continue streaming, why not give him more confidence?
At least let him know she won’t suddenly quit, right?
So Lin Lin typed,
【Ari-chan: Ahahaha, don’t worry. I feel pretty good, actually. I kind of like streaming. And um… thank you so much for the gifts today. By the way, why did you choose that ID, Dog Bro? It sounds so… tsundere~】
When Gao Liang saw the word tsundere, he almost dropped his phone.
He looked at his own ID helplessly, then typed,
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: It’s nothing special. I’ve watched too many big streamers, so I got tired of that common style. Hmm… if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime. I’ve been in this circle for quite a long time.】
【Ari-chan: Oh, okay, okay! Thank you, Dog Bro!】
After sending the message, Lin Lin looked up at the time and was instantly shocked, like a cute tiger frozen in place.
It’s already this late?!
Better stop chatting with Dog Bro and go to sleep early.
Maybe she’ll turn back tomorrow.
【Ari-chan: Um, I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Dog Bro.】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Good night.】
After seeing his good-night reply, Lin Lin finally felt at ease and put her phone down.
She stood up, turned off the computer, and got ready to have a good sleep.
Hmm…
It’s pretty late now. At this time, her family should already be asleep, right?
Uh…
Only then did Lin Lin suddenly remember a huge problem.
Wait a second…
She… she seems to have turned into a girl.
Damn.
This…
How is she supposed to explain this to her family?
Cough cough…
‘Dad, Mom, I accidentally kicked a power cable, rebooted in twenty seconds, turned into a cute girl, and now I have to be a VTuber. Otherwise, I might turn into a trash can next time?’
If she said that, wouldn’t the police just say, ‘If something that good really existed, would Thailand still have a business?’
Why the police, you ask?
Cough cough…
Because a strange girl suddenly appeared at home, and their eldest son mysteriously disappeared. No matter how you think about it, they’d send her straight to the police station.
There wouldn’t even be a chance to explain.
Sss—
Thinking about this made Lin Lin feel scared. She didn’t even dare to go to the bathroom to pee or wash up.
Speaking of that… peeing is also a problem.
She can’t pee standing up anymore?
This…
Ah, she had just felt that becoming a cute girl was pretty nice, but now that she thought about it, everything felt like trouble.
She really wasn’t used to this at all. A completely unfamiliar life.
How is she supposed to adapt?
Lin Lin thought for a long time, then finally swallowed nervously.
No choice. People have to face reality.
But most importantly, she was really thirsty right now!
She had talked to the screen for over an hour and her throat was dry. No way, she had to go get a drink of water.
A big drink. A huge one.
So late at night, a strange girl quietly slipped out through the crack of her bedroom door and sneaked around her own house.
The living room was empty, completely dark. Her parents were clearly asleep.
Lin Lin carefully took slow steps, moving little by little toward the cup of water on the coffee table.
Then suddenly—
Snap!
The light turned on.
Lin Lin quickly turned her head and saw a boy standing by the light switch, staring at her in shock.
Crap!
Little brother appeared!
…………………
Meanwhile, Gao Liang saw the good-night message, then put his phone down.
Time to sleep?
Out of boredom, he glanced at the screen again.
Huh?
Noticing a new red dot on his follower list, he picked up his phone again and opened it.
Ari-chan…
Mutual follow?
He froze, then opened her profile—
Only to find…
She was following only him!
Good. Very good!
Gao Liang excitedly picked up his phone, found a contact, and sent a message.
【Gao Liang: Uncle, can you help me check the backend info of a streamer on a live platform? Should be in Huadu too. ID is “Ari-chan.”】
