Volume 2 Chapter 23: The Streamer Will Stream Every Day from Now On!
It was just an ordinary evening self-study session. Gao Liang sat at his seat, raised his head, and looked around.
The classroom… seemed no different from usual. But somehow, it felt like something was missing.
Hmm… He turned his head and looked at the empty seat beside him.
Evening self-study without Lin Lin as his desk mate was getting more and more boring.
Forget it. Time to go home.
So after the first evening self-study period ended, Gao Liang put on his backpack, left the classroom, and went to Teacher Zhu’s office to ask for leave.
“By the way, Xiao Liang,” Teacher Zhu said while checking the leave note and looking up at him, “I remember you’ve studied some art before. Your desk mate, Lin Lin, is going to join an art competition. Aren’t you going to take part?”
Gao Liang shook his head. “I just… don’t feel very interested.”
“Hmm…” Teacher Zhu thought for a moment, then said straight to the point, “Then how about you teach Lin Lin a bit when you have time? That kid looks completely confused right now.”
“Oh…”
Gao Liang sighed helplessly. He wanted to help too, but Lin Lin seemed to dislike him, what could he do?
“Ah, never mind. Here you go, your leave note! Remember to study well even at home!” After Teacher Zhu finished speaking, Gao Liang left the office and started walking home.
Hmm…
Lin Lin…
What would she be doing at this time?
As he walked, he couldn’t help thinking about it again.
Had she already found a crash art course? Maybe she was already in class.
Heh, that girl, she doesn’t really like studying, but once she gets serious, she’s actually amazing. He had seen it before.
………………
“OK, chats! Hold on, hold on! Today’s stream is about to start, niceeeeee!”
After not streaming for a long time, the little vampire girl looked especially excited tonight. Her wings flapped energetically. As more and more viewers entered the stream, the number of comments on screen clearly went up.
【Damn, Ari-chan finally started streaming!】
【I’ve been waiting forever, Ari-chan! What have you been up to?!】
【Ari-chan, can you stream more often? How am I supposed to live without you?】
【Ari-chan’s stream schedule is worse than some nobody streamer with single-digit followers. If you don’t want to stream, just quit!】
【Hey, that’s too harsh. Ari-chan’s a small streamer, streaming doesn’t earn much money. If she streams every day, are you going to donate? Take that back right now!】
【Where’s Dog Bro? We need Dog Bro!】
“Ahahaha…”
Lin Lin glanced at the screen awkwardly. It was clear that the fans were a bit unhappy about how often the little vampire streamed.
That was normal. Compared to professional virtual streamers who streamed almost every day and only rested once or twice a week, she only streamed once or twice a week, which really…
Made her an anti-overwork role model, honestly.
Everyone really loved the little vampire, and that made Lin Lin feel a bit guilty.
But from now on, she could probably become a more hardworking virtual streamer!
Hmm-hmm~
“Alright everyone, sorry about that. The low streaming frequency before was really because I was being lazy~ I’ve been pretty busy lately, but once this busy period is over, I’ll stream Monday to Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and rest on Sunday! In a few weeks, I should be able to start high-intensity streaming~ Hehe, are you happy, my sweet pears?”
【Can’t you stream 24 hours a day?】
【Go full 996 for us right now, Teacher Ari-chan!】
【Got it! From now on, after work I’ll do nothing but watch Ari-chan’s stream! If Ari-chan streams 24/7, I’ll even quit my job!】
“Hey, hey, you guys are really impossible to satisfy! Especially the last one, don’t take it that seriously! Quitting your job is way too crazy, okay?!”
【If you quit your job, how are you going to donate money to Ari-chan? Get out!】
【Wuwuwu, I’ll just move some company funds to buy Ari-chan a Captain tier.】
【Damn, that’s actually illegal.】
【The guy above, I’m your company’s legal team. Just wait.】
【Holy crap, doxxed!】
“No, no, stop! This will make the news! They’ll report it as ‘chaos in the virtual streamer community’! If you want to die, don’t drag me and the whole Vtuber scene down with you!”
Lin Lin shook her head quickly. Of course, she knew the chat was joking, but some comments really needed a reply. Otherwise, it was easy for things to get out of control.
【By the way, Ari-chan, how can you suddenly stream so intensely? Aren’t you a student?】
One comment suddenly asked this. Lin Lin blinked and was just about to answer when she saw another comment.
【Did the streamer drop out of school?】
This…
Lin Lin’s mouth twitched. No way, she was a top student, and now people were even doubting this?!
And it looked like quite a few people believed it!
【Yeah, the streamer suddenly has so much free time. Probably dropped out.】
【Makes sense!】
【Sounds reasonable and convincing!】
Time for some emergency PR!
“No, hey! I didn’t quit school. It’s just that… my grades are too good, so I got recommended straight in~ Hmm-hmm~”
The little vampire girl waved her hand with a smile. How about that? Ever seen a student who got in without exams? Impressive, right?
Ahem, when bragging, of course you have to exaggerate a bit.
But…
The chat clearly didn’t believe her.
【If Ari-chan really got recommended, I’ll eat a small hamburger on stream.】
【What if Ari-chan isn’t a student at all, and actually ran away from an electronics factory?】
【Huh? The streamer used to be a student? I thought she dropped out of elementary school.】
“Hey!!” Lin Lin said angrily as she slapped the table. “Who exactly dropped out of elementary school?! Also, I’m still going to be busy for a while. I’ll only be free later.”
【LMAO, classic bad education.】
【Is it possible that Ari-chan was so busy before because she was earning living expenses, so she could become a full-time streamer?】
【She’s really… I’m crying.】
【So she really went to work in a factory, huh?】
“I’ve never worked in a factory! I went out to have fun a few days ago,” Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks. It looked like the chat atmosphere tonight was pretty good.
But then, the comments started going wild again.
【Wuwu, Ari-chan, you didn’t go accompany a rich old man, right? Wuwu, Ari-chan, my Ari-chan~】
【Shouldn’t a little vampire go out to seduce men and suck their blood?】
【Stop slandering her. Don’t tell me some people still don’t know that Ari-chan went to do a collab with Miss Hydrogen, a big streamer with 50k followers, a few days ago? That stickman avatar was so awkward it hurt.】
【What? Ari-chan did a collab?】
【Damn, I missed it!】
【I was there. She really went to find a rich lady!】
Ahahaha…
Seeing someone bring this up, Lin Lin admitted it openly. “Yes, I went to do a collab with Sister Hydrogen a few days ago. It was a bit rushed, just a test stream. There should be a proper collab later, and we’ll stream together more often. Thank you, everyone~”
【Yay!】
【Nice! Ari-chan is doing collabs now!】
【Is she going to become a big, big, BIG Vtuber?】
At this point, the stream had warmed up enough. Just as Lin Lin was about to start today’s main topic, suddenly—
【System message: User ‘Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog’ has entered the stream.】
