"All right, this Empress's stream ends here for today."
"If any mortals still have the courage to challenge this Empress, come again tomorrow. This Empress will be ready to oblige at any time."
It was nearly midnight when Long Yue bid farewell to everyone in the livestream and shut it off with a satisfied heart.
It was only her first day, yet she had streamed for more than ten hours straight.
Throughout those ten-plus hours, she had constantly interacted with the chat while facing an endless stream of challengers. Though her shoulders and waist were sore from sitting, she felt exceptionally fulfilled and satisfied.
Ever since arriving in this unfamiliar world, she had spent most of her time cooped up at home. The only person she could talk to was the Demon Supreme, and she had felt as though she could not truly fit into this world.
Yet now, seated before the computer, she could interact and chat with mortals from all over, playing matches of chess with them. She could not help feeling deeply fulfilled.
Back on the Immortal-Demon Continent, she had practically never spoken with mortals. Who would have thought talking to these mortals could be quite interesting...
Especially when they got so furious yet could do nothing about her~
It would have been even better if the Demon Supreme had not suddenly butted in and caused trouble...!
At that thought, Long Yue's gaze abruptly sharpened. With a whoosh, she turned to glare at Lin Fan, who had just returned through the door, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Her record today should have been a perfect, flawless victory streak, if not for that one Five-in-a-Row match she had lost to him!
Lin Fan completely ignored her resentful stare and lifted the chow fun he had just bought.
"This Venerable bought Beef Chow Fun. Want some?"
"Yes!"
Long Yue answered without a second thought.
Angry or not, she still had to eat!
She had been so focused on streaming that she had not had time for either lunch or dinner. Her stomach had long since been hollow with hunger.
At the dining table, Long Yue held the Beef Chow Fun and wolfed it down, an approving look unconsciously appearing in her eyes.
This thing called Beef Chow Fun tasted really good!
So beef could be stir-fried until it was this tender. It seemed she would have to consider raising some cattle in the Immortal Realm later...
By now, the night had grown late. Zhou Yan had already gone home, leaving only the two of them in the room again.
Lin Fan took a can of soda from the refrigerator, opened it, inserted a straw, and handed it to her. Then he casually asked,
"How does streaming feel?"
Long Yue took the soda and sipped it twice. The corners of her lips curled upward as she proudly lifted her delicate nose.
"Not bad~"
"Although the things these tiny mortals say can make this Empress rather angry, this Empress does not dislike it either."
"This Empress will conquer them one by one and make them submit wholeheartedly~!"
"That's good."
Seeing Long Yue's proud, smiling face, Lin Fan smiled faintly, feeling a trace of comfort and emotion in his heart.
The Empress's job had finally been settled...
"Ohh!!"
Just then, Long Yue casually opened her streaming account while eating and immediately let out a cry of surprise.
While Lin Fan was still puzzled, her eyes lit up. Excitedly, she held her streaming account up in front of him.
"Demon Supreme! Demon Supreme! Look! This Empress's follower count has surpassed ten thousand!"
"Oh, it really has."
Seeing the more than ten thousand followers on Long Yue's streaming account, Lin Fan could not help being a little surprised as well.
The livestreaming industry was already saturated and fiercely competitive. New streamers generally found it difficult to gain attention, let alone survive amid the turbulent waves of livestreaming.
It was no exaggeration to say that during their first month, or even longer, new streamers often faced the miserable situation of having only a few scattered viewers now and then.
Most streamers relied on long periods of streaming and gradual accumulation to build their follower counts bit by bit.
If you enjoy this book, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.
Yet Long Yue had surpassed ten thousand followers on the very first day she started streaming!
That was already an extremely impressive achievement!
When he had first thought of having her become a virtual streamer, he had merely felt that she would perfectly fit the Empress character setting and that the stream's results should be decent.
In reality, however, the stream's performance had far exceeded his expectations.
Aside from her flawless Empress persona, she had also hidden astonishing painting skills and chess prowess, immediately drawing discussion and attention.
She also handled her interactions with everyone in the livestream with ease and composure.
Perhaps she really was especially suited to streaming...
"Hehehe, it seems quite a few mortals have already been won over by this Empress's charm and strength~"
"For mere mortals to possess such discerning eyes is something worthy of this Empress's praise. They have made the wisest choice of their lives, hahaha~"
Long Yue folded her arms across her chest, unable to suppress the smile on her lips any longer. At last, she broke into waves of smug, delighted laughter.
"Did you see that, Demon Supreme? This is this Empress's true strength!"
"Even here, this Empress has already become an Empress admired by tens of thousands~!"
Lin Fan: "..."
"Empress, it is only ten thousand followers. That is nothing much in today's livestreaming industry."
Seeing Long Yue growing complacent over just ten thousand followers, Lin Fan smiled helplessly and casually searched up several streamers' accounts for her to see.
"Here, look at how many followers they have."
"Ten thousand followers?! This one has five hundred thousand?! And there are even ones with a million followers...?!"
Seeing the enormous follower counts of others, Long Yue stared in astonishment.
She had thought that more than ten thousand followers was already an incredibly impressive number. After all, that was more than ten thousand people!
She had not expected that compared with other streamers, her little follower count was practically insignificant...
"How can they have so many followers!?"
"High-quality streams and long-term streaming accumulation. Gradually, their follower counts grow."
"I forgot to tell you that this world actually has several billion people. This number of followers is nothing much."
"Some people even have tens of millions of followers."
"Several billion people! Tens of millions of followers?!"
Long Yue looked utterly shocked.
When she had gone out with Lin Fan before, she had already felt that there were many pedestrians on the streets. She had vaguely guessed that this world had a large population, but she had never imagined there would be several billion mortals here!
And some among them actually had tens of millions of followers!!
Across the entire Immortal-Demon Continent, the immortal, demon, and mortal races combined only numbered a little over ten million people. Yet the mortals here alone numbered several billion...!
There were far too many mortals here!
A streamer with tens of millions of followers was equivalent to possessing the entire population of their Immortal-Demon Continent...
A mere mortal had more followers than the hundred-thousand-strong Immortal Sect army under her command...
At this moment, Long Yue could not help feeling a sense of defeat.
Mortals had more followers than an Empress like her. What kind of nonsense was that...
If only all the Immortal citizens and officials in the Immortal Realm could follow her account, she would instantly have more than a million followers too...
Long Yue thought regretfully, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. Her gaze became increasingly resolute as the competitive spirit in her heart as an Empress blazed fiercely!
"Hmph, they only have a tiny bit more followers than this Empress. Sooner or later, this Empress's followers will surpass theirs!"
With that, she put away her previously smug expression and lowered her head to rapidly devour her food.
Lin Fan smiled without speaking, quietly watching her rekindled fighting spirit.
With the skill and entertainment value she had displayed today, he felt it was not impossible for her to become a streamer with tens of millions of followers someday...
