Choosing a Computer for the Empress

"That's right!"

Lin Fan nodded.

This was his original plan: to have the Empress become a virtual streamer!

This way, she could work from home, avoiding any incidents or accidental exposure of her identity, while also fully utilizing her natural advantages during livestreams.

"What's a virtual streamer?"

Watching Lin Fan and Zhou Yan converse back and forth, Long Yue was completely confused.

She had heard of livestreams, but this was her first time hearing about virtual streamers.

"A virtual streamer, simply put, is a streamer who uses a virtual character model to broadcast. They don't need to show their real face," Lin Fan explained.

Zhou Yan chimed in, "I happen to know a friend, and he has a friend who specializes in creating virtual streamer models. I can ask him for help."

"Sister-in-law, what kind of character illustration model do you want?"

A virtual streamer's character illustration is people's first impression, and it can be said to be a very important bonus point.

A good-looking virtual character illustration is very likable.

"Character illustration model... hmm..."

Long Yue frowned deeply and pondered. She was completely blank when it came to character illustration models, not knowing what kind of model she could create or what kind she should create.

Lin Fan knew she didn't understand, so he directly replied:

"Follow my lead. The overall image should be that of an ancient-style fairy, with silver hair cascading to her waist and a pair of azure eyes. For the attire, you can reference this."

As he spoke, Lin Fan took out the Silver Moon Immortal Robe that Long Yue had changed out of after her bath from the closet.

"Wow~"

Seeing the gorgeous immortal attire before him, Zhou Yan's expression was startled, and then he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, revealing a playful and teasing look.

An ordinary family wouldn't have such ancient-style fairy dresses, and Lin Fan specifically bought this kind of lingerie to keep at home...

Hiss! That's quite intriguing~

He hadn't expected this kid to look so honest on the surface, but he was quite the player!

When he finds a girlfriend someday, he'll have to try it too...

Long Yue, listening to Lin Fan describe the character illustration model for her and seeing him take out her original immortal attire as a reference, immediately understood.

The Demon Supreme was directly using her original Immortal Emperor appearance as the character illustration!

On the Immortal-Demon Continent, she practiced the Silver Moon Azure Dragon Immortal Art, so she had silver hair and azure eyes from a young age.

Because she had lost all her spiritual power on Blue Star, her immortal body could no longer be maintained by spiritual power. Her original silver hair and azure eyes had faded into the ink-black color of mortals.

"An ancient-style xianxia character illustration, right? I've got it. I'll have my friend help make one shortly."

Zhou Yan used his mobile phone to note down Lin Fan's requirements one by one and sent them to a friend in his contact list who specialized in custom private character illustrations.

Lin Fan didn't slack off either. Since he had decided to let Long Yue become a virtual streamer, the necessary hardware conditions naturally couldn't be missing.

The primary requirement was at least a computer.

Lin Fan opened a shopping platform and skillfully added computer components to his shopping cart one by one.

Watching Lin Fan and Zhou Yan busy with their phones, Long Yue sat on the sofa, completely lost, still holding her takeout and chopsticks.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

She hadn't even agreed to become a virtual streamer, yet these two had already decided for her on their own...

And they were both so busy, making her feel useless sitting here...

"Are you buying something?"

Long Yue, holding her takeout, walked behind Lin Fan and curiously peered at him as he kept adding items to the shopping cart.

"Yeah, these are all computer parts. I'm building a computer for you,"

Lin Fan said without looking back, diligently selecting computer components.

Long Yue glanced at the shopping cart and was startled when she saw the total amount already exceeding five thousand.

"Over five thousand yuan! Is a computer this expensive?"

She usually ordered takeout for at most forty to fifty yuan, and that was only for occasional small indulgences. The snacks she bought online were usually a large bag for tens of yuan, but this computer alone cost several thousand yuan!

She didn't know how many snacks she could buy or how many times she could order takeout with that money!

"Lin Fan, can't we choose a cheaper computer...?" Long Yue couldn't help but ask.

"This is the computer for your streaming. We need to consider the streaming performance, and it can't be any cheaper,"

Lin Fan explained. Although he also wanted to save some budget, after all, they only had forty thousand yuan left at home.

However, considering the requirements for streaming configuration, especially with a virtual avatar, it would inevitably consume computer RAM. To avoid any streaming lag, he had to increase the budget as much as possible.

"A computer for just over five thousand yuan isn't even considered mid-range. What can it even do?"

Zhou Yan put down his phone and came closer. He glanced at the computer components in Lin Fan's shopping cart with a look of disdain.

"Lin Fan, if my sister-in-law is going to be streaming and playing games at the same time in the future, will this configuration even be enough?"

Lin Fan thought for a moment and felt that what Zhou Yan said made a lot of sense. Streaming wasn't just about maintaining a stable image; sometimes, it required keeping up with trends and playing high-end AAA games. In that case, this configuration wouldn't be enough.

Following Zhou Yan's suggestion, he replaced the RTX 3060 graphics card in his shopping cart with an RTX 3090.

Seeing the amount in the shopping cart suddenly jump by nearly five thousand, Long Yue gasped in shock.

The computer, which had only cost a little over five thousand with all the parts added together, had suddenly increased by almost five thousand with just one click!

Before even starting work, she was already going to spend nearly ten thousand yuan!?

Unlike Long Yue, who was extremely anxious, Zhou Yan frowned and shook his head in disdain.

"Look, since you're already getting a 3090, why not increase the budget a bit more and go for a 4090? No, wait, they already have the 50 series now. If you're going for a 4090, you might as well go all the way and get a 5090 directly."

"And look at this, if the graphics card is a 5090, then the other components will have to be upgraded too, right? Otherwise, they won't match the graphics card, will they?"

Under Zhou Yan's persuasion, Lin Fan upgraded and replaced the other components in the shopping cart one by one.

Unknowingly, as the two of them discussed and selected parts, the amount in the shopping cart reached a staggering forty thousand yuan.

"Actually, a computer for a little over five thousand would have been enough..."

Long Yue, pale with fright, couldn't help but weakly interject. However, Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were so engrossed in their discussion about computers that they completely ignored her.

Long Yue stood there awkwardly, holding the takeout, her heart bleeding.

She hadn't even officially started working yet, and she already owed over forty thousand yuan...

That forty thousand alone was enough to cover her food and living expenses for a long time...

No one had told her that she needed to spend money before she could even start working...!
