The spaceship, the highest-tier reward gift in the interstellar live streaming room, had a golden broadcast suspended at the top of all channels for a full five minutes. Coupled with the special lucky draw event for SVIP gifts, many people joined the crowd to pay homage to the wealthy patron. For a time, Lu Mingming's live stream room was flooded with new viewers eager to participate in the lucky draw, while the existing viewers watched the spectacle and cheered.
"Do you know what money is: Wow, a spaceship!"
"Hee hee ha ha: I rarely watch live streams, this is my first time seeing a spaceship as a gift. I'm broadening my horizons and will screenshot it as a memento."
"Tomato dogs don't eat: This live stream room looks familiar, have I been here before? Never mind, let's watch a real tycoon, I'll kowtow to the great patron."
"Sakura also wants to see you: I actually doubted if it was bragging just now. Boss, I was wrong, boo hoo."
...
"Thank you, 143, for the spaceship gift."
Lu Mingming's smile deepened. Being able to have promises kept always made her feel unconsciously happy.
Seeing the sudden shift in the comments on the screen, Bai Yi couldn't help but let out a scoff.
Jokes aside, he, Bai Yi, was considered half a rich idler, but he always kept his word. How could he afford to pay and run away!
Although the spaceship gift was expensive, as the only son of a noble family, it was merely pocket change to him. Moreover, ever since his uncle returned, his parents' allowance was something Bai Yi never dared to spend carelessly, for fear of being caught and severely lectured. Therefore, he could still afford ten thousand star coins.
This time, Bai Yi sincerely admired the spaceship gift. In the past, streamers would do anything for spaceship gifts, but Lu Mingming was the first to win legitimately!
However...
Bai Yi subtly shifted his gaze to his uncle, who was sitting beside him with a serious and stern expression. He couldn't help but swallow and asked with a trembling voice, "Uncle, are you... are you still going to watch the live stream with me?"
How could he have imagined that he had only told his uncle about Lu Mingming's live stream yesterday, and today they were squeezed together watching it! Who would have known that the dignified developer of the Star Network actually paid no attention to the most popular live streaming industry on the Star Network, and was even as old-fashioned as to not understand anything!
The spaceship just now was given by Morian, who learned about it and sent it proactively after seeing the comments in the bullet screen. Bai Yi couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"Do you have an opinion?"
Morian stared intently at the screen, his icy tone like the arctic cold, causing Bai Yi to break out in goosebumps.
"N-no! Uncle, please continue watching."
...
"143: Are you planning to open a shop? I can invest in you."
"Jasmine: Is it my illusion? I feel like the boss has suddenly become much gentler."
"The little rabbit loved by everyone: Cough, cough, be careful what you say upstairs."
"I'm sorry, I really don't have that plan for now."
Actually, this question had been asked in a similar way during the last live stream. However, opening a shop would consume a lot of Lu Mingming's rest time. She wanted to use more free time to build a good relationship with the little white tiger, so she had never considered it. Perhaps on some day in the future, when the little white tiger was independent and she had a solution for gene disease treatment, she would consider it.
"143: Alright, if you have any financial difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me."
"Sam: Wow, is the boss convinced by Mingming? Mingming's level, if you hire her as a housekeeper, it would cost tens of millions!"
"Happy orange cat: I'm watching less, but it's not our concern."
Lu Mingming: "Yes, I will if I have the chance."
The little white tiger sat rigidly with narrowed eyes, watching everything silently. It seemed unaffected, but the tail that was vigorously swinging and hitting the seat surface exposed its suppressed displeasure. What did this 143 mean, was he trying to steal people?
The next second, the little one was the first to proactively nudge Lu Mingming's sleeve. With her tacit consent and indulgence, it carefully climbed into her warm embrace using her fair arm, as if to declare its possessiveness and dominance.
Lu Mingming didn't notice the little one's complicated thoughts. After chatting casually with the bullet screen for a while, she ended the live stream.
After ending the broadcast, the data from the live stream immediately appeared on the page, with over 80,000 viewers.
Eighty thousand people were not much on Tianhe Live, a platform with huge traffic, but this was for Lu Mingming's live stream room, which had only been active for less than a week.
Her ranking on the newcomer list had moved up a few more spots. The gaps on the newcomer list were very small, and in the end, Lu Mingming barely managed to grasp the ninth position.
After this live stream, when the backstage reward income was distributed to Lu Mingming, it rounded up to a full thirteen thousand star coins.
Lu Mingming was deeply satisfied and silently encouraged herself, believing that the future would only get better.
The next day.
Lu Mingming was woken up by the vibrating prompt sound of her light brain on the bedside table.
As the autumn season brought deep dew, only the misty frosted window allowed a glimpse of the brilliant morning glow in the distance.
The little white tiger curled up obediently by her pillow, clearly extremely sleepy. Even though the light brain kept sending prompts, it didn't wake it up.
"Where did you go playing last night..."
Lu Mingming withdrew her gaze and mumbled in confusion, then lowered her head to check the information on her light brain – someone had called her.
To avoid disturbing the little white tiger's sleep, Lu Mingming tiptoed to the living room to answer the phone.
"Hello, who is it?"
A completely unfamiliar sweet female voice replied:
"Hello, Ms. Lu. I am a staff member from Tianhe Live. I have been trying to reach you since yesterday. Your live stream traffic has entered the top ten. Would you consider participating in the platform's arranged final interview?"
Next, the sweet female voice introduced various benefits after the interview to Lu Mingming one by one, including but not limited to generous financial rewards. The only trouble was that platform photographers and reporters would have to visit for the interview, which could easily expose personal circumstances and ultimately affect the fan base.
After all, it was an official live broadcast, which would definitely bring new viewers and heat to the live stream room. Basically, no one would refuse.
Actually, Lu Mingming felt it was neither here nor there. It was good to have an opportunity to strive for it, so after a brief consideration, she agreed: "Okay, around what time?"
After completing the assigned task, the staff member clearly breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have time, how about today... Wait!"
"Is there anything else you need me to provide?"
Lu Mingming said considerately. Instead, the staff member started to stammer: "I'm sorry, we just checked your live stream work ID. Because you have been reported for non-standard records recently, you are currently in a long-term muted state..."
What did that mean?! No one had ever mentioned this to her!
Lu Mingming's remaining sleepiness was scared away, and her mind became incredibly clear.
Coincidentally, the little white tiger also woke up and came out to find her. Seeing Lu Mingming's unusual expression, it stayed quietly by her feet.
Lu Mingming tentatively asked, "Can you elaborate? I don't know what happened."
Staff member: "You can check the entertainment forum's trending searches today. I'm sorry, the interview can only be postponed for now. Wishing you a pleasant life."
Entertainment forum?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingming blinked and secretly took note.
After quickly washing up, Lu Mingming, holding the little white tiger, entered the entertainment forum according to the method found on the Star Network. A small, glowing section on the homepage proudly displayed her live stream ID name.
#Shocking! Mingming Sleepyhead Actually...!#
The words were incomplete. Lu Mingming frowned and clicked into it. Her sixth sense told her that something bad had happened.
"Anonymous account: Does everyone know the streamer Mingming Sleepyhead? After my repeated statistics, I suspect this streamer has bought a large number of water armies to refresh the newcomer list! For detailed evidence, please see #Attached image and text link#. Please use your own judgment."
The images were reasoned statistical analyses, meticulously detailing the abnormal data since Lu Mingming's live stream, leaving only the conclusive proof to be placed in the center.
If Lu Mingming were an onlooker, she might even believe it if she were led.
Lu Mingming was furious and laughed back. When she first left the sanatorium, she had no money and had adopted the little white tiger. Where could she get more money to buy water armies?! However, she soon calmed down and carefully observed who was instigating and spreading rumors.
"Anonymous account 1: No way, you believe a childcare worker without a nursery license? It's truly a frontier planet, it's good that it's been banned."
"Anonymous account 2: I remember, this streamer climbed to tenth place on the newcomer list within a week, suppressing so many big shots. It's obviously suspicious, I've unfollowed."
"Anonymous account 3: Speechless, this streamer absolutely wouldn't fake it, okay? Those who are stepping on her have watched her live stream? They will definitely come back to slap your faces sooner or later!"
"Anonymous account 1: Here come the leg hairs, getting anxious, getting anxious."
...
In short, the Tianhe Live entertainment forum was a scene of bloody storms, with onlookers, those secretly slandering, fans and anti-fans arguing, and everything in between.
As Lu Mingming's slender white fingers slid across the screen, the little white tiger followed and finished watching the entire cause of the incident. It abandoned its usual laziness, and the entire tiger exuded a dangerous aura, its pupils constricted into needle-like points.
After a while, it jumped out of Lu Mingming's embrace and quietly walked into the bedroom, as if to do something.
Lu Mingming, still in a daze, clenched her fists tightly. She absolutely would not let the unknown enemy succeed in framing her.
She was going to appeal!
Having made up her mind, Lu Mingming quickly prepared the necessary materials and submitted them. She also took out her discharge certificate from her two years of living and studying at the sanatorium. She needed to prove her innocence as quickly as possible to avoid being further slandered.
On that day, Tianhe Group.
"Re-examine this streamer. There are two S-class urgent requests from above. Don't offend anyone."
"No way? That impressive. So there are two big shots..."
"Shh—what if it's a ferocious interstellar pirate or a wanted criminal? Do you want to die?"
Upon receiving the notification, the technical department immediately arranged for professional personnel to gather and check the problem with the live stream.
After receiving the official notice, they initially thought it was a major case, and everyone's brows were furrowed, not daring to relax at all. Until the playback began:
In the video, a beautiful woman holding a little tiger was warmly greeting them...
"Hiss—there's a big problem."
The reviewer at Tianhe Group stroked his chin with an unclear expression and took a few steps back.
The manager who delivered the task looked more panicked than if the sky had fallen: "What problem?!"
If something really happened, those two big shots above would be the first to execute Tianhe Live! Offending either the official or the Star Network was unacceptable!
"The problem is that there are no problems at all, a normal live stream. I don't know why it was reported. However..."
"However, what?"
The manager's heart leaped again.
The technical department reviewer, recalling the deeply ingrained aroma of beef, couldn't help but swallow.
"However, this streamer should logically be at the level of a special-grade childcare worker. Why would she appear on Xingfu Star? Heh heh, never mind, I'll watch it again."
Manager: "..."
