The Empress Becomes a Virtual Streamer

"Alright, virtual avatar setup complete!"

After receiving the packaged virtual avatar illustrations, Zhou Yan immediately sent the data files to Long Yue's computer and fine-tuned the avatar for her.

At this moment, a virtual fairy dressed in a silver moon immortal dress with silver hair and blue eyes appeared on the screen.

Long Yue was filled with surprise and delight.

The virtual avatar on the screen bore a striking resemblance to her Immortal Emperor persona, just like a miniature cartoon version of herself!

As she blinked, the virtual avatar on the screen blinked as well.

"She, she's mimicking my movements! How amazing!"

"Of course, it's using facial capture through the camera," Lin Fan explained, pointing to the camera mounted on the computer screen. "All your movements will be synchronized to the character avatar via the camera."

Long Yue leaned curiously closer to the camera, trying turning her head and opening her mouth in front of it.

As expected, the virtual avatar on the screen turned its head and opened its mouth along with her.

"It really works!" Long Yue exclaimed in amazement.

This ability to make another entity mimic one's movements was almost identical to the body-control immortal arts in the Immortal Realm, which allowed one to control others to imitate their actions.

The difference was that those body-control immortal arts required a medium. Either a body-control talisman had to be attached to the other person, or they had to be refined into a puppet that was connected to one's mind. At the very least, one needed to possess the other person's shadow to control their body through it.

However, sitting in front of the computer, she didn't need to do anything; the character on the screen would follow her movements!

"Hmph, this isn't ordinary facial capture. It's a high-end custom one I had a friend make. You don't need to manually switch expressions. As long as the camera captures your facial changes, the illustration avatar will automatically switch to the corresponding expression!"

"This illustration avatar has over a dozen facial expressions set up!" Zhou Yan added proudly.

Normally, the facial expressions of ordinary illustrated characters required the streamer to secretly switch them manually, but his version didn't. The camera could recognize the streamer's expressions and synchronize the illustration avatar's facial changes!

"Oh wow! It can even mimic expressions!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yue's eyes revealed shocked delight.

This was even more impressive than those body-control immortal arts, as those couldn't control the other person to synchronize their expressions!

"Here, this is your character setting profile," Lin Fan said, handing her a specially created character profile.

Every virtual streamer had some unique character settings, which were the unique characteristics or "moe points" of each virtual streamer.

For example, the AI persona of the first virtual streamers, or other archetypes like lolis, older sisters, and various beast girls.

For this reason, he had specifically drafted a personalized character setting for her.

"What is this?"

Long Yue curiously took the document and quickly scanned it, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Lin Fan pointed to the character settings on the document and explained:

"This is your character setting from now on. You are an Empress who accidentally fell from the Immortal-Demon Continent to the mortal realm. After arriving in the mortal realm, you unfortunately lost all your cultivation and spiritual power. To find a way back to the Immortal Realm and survive, you reincarnated as a virtual streamer and are currently trying to adapt to the new world."

Long Yue: "..."

Listening to Lin Fan's explanation, Long Yue narrowed her eyes and shot him an annoyed glance.

"What do you mean 'my' character setting? I am real, you know!"

She was originally the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace, and now she had to pretend to be an Empress from the Immortal Realm. What was this all about...

"This character setting is great, it's perfect for sister-in-law!" Zhou Yan couldn't help but praise from the side.

Looking at Long Yue's beauty and demeanor, he had always felt a sense of otherworldly purity, as if an immortal fairy had descended to the mortal realm.

Coupled with her complete ignorance of modern electronic devices and her lack of understanding of many worldly affairs, she seemed even more like a secluded immortal who had suddenly arrived in the mortal world!

More importantly, she occasionally referred to herself as "this Empress," which sounded as if she were truly an Empress from the Immortal Realm!

It perfectly matched the character setting!

"I think so too. This character setting will definitely suit her very well," Lin Fan said with a playful smile at Long Yue.

Zhou Yan didn't know, but he was well aware that this wasn't a character setting he'd come up with on a whim; it was Long Yue's true identity...

However, with the guise of a virtual streamer, no matter how outrageous the setting, no one would suspect it was real. And this was her most natural and unique advantage!

Other people's character settings were fake, but she was a genuine Empress!

"Your Majesty, from now on, you don't need to deliberately hide your identity or your speech habits during your streams. You can continue to refer to yourself as 'this Empress'."

"Really? Will there be any trouble?" Long Yue asked with slight concern.

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."

"Even if you cast a spell in front of them, they won't take it seriously."

"It's just sister-in-law, this is just a character setting. Sometimes you just need to act according to the character setting, and it's completely fine for you to call yourself 'this Empress'!"

Hearing this, Long Yue looked at the character setting data for her Empress role in her hand, and a strange flutter of excitement arose within her.

Previously, Lin Fan had repeatedly emphasized that she could not reveal her identity in public, but if she became a virtual streamer now, she could resume her former identity as the Empress, without any other concerns, and be her true self again...!

She suddenly felt that this job might truly be suitable for her!

Lin Fan saw a spark of excitement in Long Yue's eyes and felt a bit surprised.

This look was something he had only seen before when she tasted delicious food. After looking at so many types of jobs, he had never seen her show such an expression. To see her now genuinely interested in being a virtual streamer was rare.

Being excited and interested in a job was the best motivation to persevere.

Lin Fan opened the live stream room, set up the streaming parameters, and conducted a test stream before the official broadcast the next day.

"Empress, let's come up with a title for tomorrow's stream."

As a new streamer, a good stream title is the first step to attracting an audience and is extremely important.

"Hmm... stream room... title..."

Long Yue furrowed her delicate brows. After thinking seriously for a moment, she suddenly thought of something, a slight smile touched her lips, and she typed out the stream title on the keyboard, character by character:

[Palace of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace, all are welcome to pay respects to this Empress.]

Lin Fan: "..."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Seeing this stream title, Lin Fan and Zhou Yan couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

What a strange and unique stream title...

But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem wrong. After all, her persona was the Empress of the Immortal Realm, and the stream room was equivalent to her palace in the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace. It was surprisingly reasonable!
