Volume 1 Chapter 19: Little Sunflower Mom’s Class Is Starting!
【Streamer, I’ve been waiting in the stream room for two hours already. You’re so slow!】
【Only two hours? I haven’t closed the stream room since yesterday’s stream ended!】
【Only since yesterday? I was waiting in the stream room before Ari-chan even created her account.】
【?】
【???】
【You’re the real person behind the streamer, right? Doxxing time!】
Just a short while after the stream started, several familiar IDs were already causing chaos in the chat. Lin Lin gave an awkward smile and quietly tried to sort things out.
Wait…
How can someone be waiting in the stream room before the account was even created?
Isn’t that a bit too powerful?
Uh…
I don’t even know when this account was created myself. The system made it, okay?!
Well, at least I can feel everyone’s enthusiasm!
Even if it’s bragging enthusiasm!
But for a new streamer like Lin Lin, just a few bragging messages like this were already very encouraging.
Nice! Looks like I already have loyal fans.
Not bad, not bad. Keep going and try to get more hardcore fans.
Lin Lin brushed her bangs aside and started thinking about today’s stream content. What she didn’t expect was…
The little vampire girl on the screen also brushed her hair at the same time, making the chat explode.
【Holy crap, I’m starting to seriously think the streamer is a being from another anime dimension. This even works?!】
【Streamer can brush her hair, can she lift her skirt with a disgusted face too?】
【What kind of pervert is that comment? Streamer, please step on me hard.】
【This one is even more extreme.】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: What software is the streamer using? The model is amazing too…】
Oh, even Dog Bro showed up.
Among all the crazy chat messages, Lin Lin immediately noticed Dog Bro. Well, she couldn’t help it, everyone else was just joking around. How was she supposed to answer those?
She could only reply to Dog Bro. Ignoring the chat completely wouldn’t be good either.
Hmm, maybe she should have Dog Bro act as her “professional chat actor” in the future?
Ahem, after all, his questions were the most serious.
After thinking for a bit, the girl cleared her throat and smiled as she spoke:
“Hehe, I’m using custom-made software and a custom model, so the effects are better. Most upper-body movements can be simulated, though it can be a bit laggy. Umm… since it’s not full-body motion capture, it’s still a bit different from real 3D, haha~”
She was basically making things up. Honestly, she didn’t even know why that effect happened. Everything in this stream was provided by the system anyway.
It’s the systemm being ridiculous makes sense.
The chat quickly started sharing opinions again.
【This feels even better than full-body motion capture, just a bit laggy…】
【Streamer is trying to hide her dimension. Recommend immediate dimensional reduction attack.】
【Reduce again? Reduce again and she’ll become one-dimensional!】
【Isn’t text already one-dimensional? Trying to cross dimensions to attack the streamer is thinking too much, lol.】
What is this…
Why is the chat suddenly talking about science fiction? You all have the talent of famous sci-fi writers or what?!
Can we bring the topic back?
Ahem…
No, this is my stream room!
As the streamer, I need to control the situation!
“Ahem…” The girl coughed lightly, then spoke calmly. “So, what should we stream today? Oh right, I haven’t checked the private messages you sent me yet. Hmm…”
She thought for a moment, then suggested, “Let’s take a look today! Reading private messages on stream. Let’s see what kind of interesting stuff you all sent me!”
Before the girl could even finish speaking, the chat suddenly started to scroll like crazy.
【Don’t do that kind of thing!】
【Don’t read it on stream! That’s social death!】
【At least censor it for me, waaah—】
【Breaking news: a new streamer starts reading private messages on her second day. Looks like she’s getting full of herself.】
【Yamete!】
Huh?
Lin Lin’s mouth twitched. Wow, why is the chat so strongly against this?
If you’re all this resistant…
It really makes me suspicious. Seriously… what kind of stuff did you even send me?
If others see it, it’ll be embarrassing. Then why weren’t you embarrassed when you sent it to me?
What a bunch of weird people. They’re clearly just treating me as entertainment.
But hey, a streamer is not your virtual pet!
Now I really want to show everything one by one!
Tsk, I’m suddenly starting to look forward to it. I want to see what kind of crazy things you people actually sent.
The girl rubbed her hands together. She really wanted to open the back end and read the private messages right away, but she glanced at the chat again and saw that the scrolling still hadn’t slowed down. That made her lose some confidence.
Seriously, how many people sent me private messages?
Don’t tell me every single follower sent one?
What kind of people are my fans anyway? The mix is way too complicated.
Hmm…
Lin Lin hesitated. She really wanted to read the messages on stream, but seeing how strongly everyone was against it, if she actually did it, would she lose followers?
No way. Losing followers is not an option. She still needs popularity points.
Hmm…
But live streams don’t really work well with censoring.
Hmm…
Oh! Got it.
The girl suddenly had an idea.
She could open a TXT file on her desktop, switch the screen to black while checking the account backend, filter the messages first, then copy the selected ones into the file. That way, the stream would only show the TXT window.
This way, she wouldn’t show anyone’s username or avatar, and she could still pick some messages to review.
Yeah…
That’s pretty good.
After everything was ready, Lin Lin faced the screen, adjusted her collar, smiled slightly, and said,
“Little Class is starting~”
Life in the chat is often unhappy. Most of you are probably little rats, just lie flat and give up… ah no, I mean, try to be more positive!
Alright then, let’s start reading private messages.
Oh right, I still need to filter them. I can’t read every single one.
I should pick ones with good entertainment value, preferably people talking about problems in their lives, so the chat can join in and give advice together. Hmm… that’s actually not a bad way to help.
Now it’s time to see whether Q&A forums or Lin Lin’s stream is better at giving advice!
Yeah…
Advice in the literal sense.
Lin Lin casually started scrolling through the messages.
As she kept looking, she started to feel a bit worried.
Oh no, please don’t tell me someone sent me scary pictures. I’m scared…
If I scream from being scared later, I will definitely hold someone responsible! I’ll block people like that!
Waa—
After browsing for a while, the girl first saw a message with an over-the-top, hardcore fan comment.
【Ari-chan, you smell nice and feel soft~】
Probably just acting.
Lin Lin clenched her teeth in annoyance. What is this? Next!
【Ari-chan, you smell nice and feel soft~】
Next!!!
【Ari-chan, you smell nice and feel soft~】
……
Am I a meat floss bun or something?
Hmm… why isn’t there even one normal person?
While she was painfully scrolling, she suddenly saw a familiar ID.
It was him again, Dog Bro!
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog】!
