"No, don't, He Yin!!! My He Yin! Wait a second!!"

In ACG Game streamer Orange Juice's Livestream Room, bold red and thick Bullet Comments suddenly appeared.

Just when everyone thought this was a character simp having a mental breakdown caused by Dream Builder, a second bold red and thick Bullet Comment popped up--

"I haven't gone inside yet!!!"

A group of people burst out laughing on the spot:

"No way, bro! I thought you were a He Yin simp, but it turns out you're a pervert?"

"Why can't a pervert be a character simp?"

"Is a He Yin simp really such an inconvenient item?"

"You must love characters with clothes on, and love them even more without clothes! That's right, we simp faction fans are just this loyal!"

Streamer Orange Juice was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to comment, a girl's voice sounded in the trailer--

"He Yin! How many times have I told you, don't throw your clothes around randomly when you take them off!"

"Who is this?" Orange Juice asked the Bullet Comments.

But this time even the Bullet Comments couldn't tell who it was.

It wasn't until the camera panned over and the character's face appeared on screen that everyone's memories were finally awakened--

"Oh, oh, it's what's-her-name! I remember! She appeared in the quests!" Orange Juice said excitedly.

But who specifically, he couldn't say.

Because he was precisely one of those streamers who "rushed to download Frost Snow Project and farm material just to hitch a ride on the hype."

He could still remember heavy-hitting characters with a lot of screen time, but someone this slightly peripheral was inevitably hard to remember clearly.

Other players' Bullet Comments heckled:

"Oh! So her name is what's-her-name."

"What's-her-name."

"You remember? You remember my ass! Her name is Bai Wei!"

Amid the chatter, Bai Wei in a combat uniform picked up the clothes He Yin had thrown everywhere, placed them on a stool beside her, and holding her own clothes, prepared to enter the fitting room as well.

But a little one suddenly ran into the frame, mischievously squeezing into the same fitting room with her.

Inside the Game Observer editorial department, Fire Knife stared in terror.

"N-No way, right?"

He married late, and nowadays his daughter was about this big!

From behind the thick fitting room curtain drifted the voices of a conversation: "Xiao Ningxi, let me help you change."

"Thank you, Sister Weiwei!"

This big and small pair were much more well-behaved than He Yin. Bai Wei raised her arm, revealing slender wrists above the curtain, and successively hung her own and Ningxi's changed combat uniforms on hooks.

On screen, Bullet Comments with completely opposite attitudes drifted past constantly: "Xiao Ningxi!!! Don't do it!!!"

"Baby Ningxi is all grown up, heh heh heh."

"No operating child carts! No operating child carts!"

"We're going to operate the child cart, we're going to operate the child cart!"

"Tsk, this fitting room is so spacious. Can you add me to this!!"

"Add me too! The four of us together!"

"And me, the 5 of us!"

"The 6 of us!"

When the Bullet Comments count reached 18, the thick fitting room curtain of the one where clothes had been flying everywhere at the start was suddenly blown open by a chaotic wind.

The camera slowly elevated from bottom to top--

Crystal-clear nails, round toes, tender green little sandals, a thin red string around a slender ankle, straight lower legs, and thighs as white and flawless as jade.

The cheongsam hem fluttered in the wind, a portion of the skin at the hips, buttocks, and waist occasionally exposed to the air as the garment hem fluttered.

The four words "a glimpse of vernal beauty" quickly surfaced in the minds of countless viewers.

Yet the camera kept moving upward, past an abdomen more transparent than Black Silk Stockings and smoother than silk, resembling the surface of a lake stirring up layers of waves beneath the cheongsam's chaotic wind, thin wrinkles dancing across the skin.

Moving further up, an exquisite, palm-sized bust was tightly wrapped, displaying anti-gravity loftiness and a subtle luster.

Finally, passing over pretty collarbones, He Yin's exquisite face and vibrant green curly hair finally appeared on screen.

The camera suddenly pulled back, displaying the full-body effect of this new outfit.

He Yin, brilliantly debuting! This debut took a full 6 seconds.

As the character with currently the highest heat and most prominent style, she was treated with maximum prestige.

The effect was also unquestionable--

The Bullet Comments suddenly experienced a gap, as if the viewers had also been captured by this imagery and momentarily forgot how to speak.

Everyone had already seen static original art and character portraits, but suddenly facing this He Yin brimming with full detail, dynamic effects, and vivid life, they were still shaken.

After a pause, the Bullet Comments erupted once again: "I! Fucking! Love it-- lick till it breaks!!!"

"Prestige!!"

"I'm going to pull till I drop!!"

"Wait, this is actually a character in the Regular Pool? A character in the Regular Pool? A character in the Regular Pool???"

"I lost my 50/50 to her earlier hahaha, the most profitable episode!"

"This can appreciate in value too?!!"

Konjac Games project X project meeting room, the leads of each team were also watching the trailer together.

Seeing this 6-second debut sequence, everyone's eyes went straight.

Especially the animation team lead.

What others saw was an exquisite and gorgeous character showcase, but what he saw was the blood and tears burned out by Dream Builder's animation team employees.

These few seconds were simply too exaggerated.

He even suspected that the time spent drawing these 6 seconds was longer than all the other parts of the trailer combined! But he would soon realize--it wasn't.

--

After He Yin debuted, without pausing for even a single second, she ran with a mischievous grin outside the neighboring fitting room, grabbed the lower hem of the thick curtain with both hands, and shouted--

"Hi~~~"

At the same time, she forcefully flicked both hands upward! The curtain shielding the fitting room instantly flew up!

"Ah!!" Bai Wei screamed out.

The viewers' hearts also lifted high along with it--

Yet soon the camera shifted, and everyone realized they had been teased by Dream Builder.

Inside, the big and small ones had already changed their clothes.

The clothes Bai Wei wore at first glance seemed somewhat conservative, merely a set of sailor-style clothes common in ACG Games.

But the reality of course went far beyond that--

As the camera zoomed in, everyone quickly discovered: Bai Wei's figure was somewhat over-abundantly full, to the extent that it propped the top high up, exposing her navel and abdomen.

This made the clothing look as though it were a size too small.

The light-colored pleated skirt on her lower body had a length covering just over half of her thighs, which arguably went a bit too far.

Fortunately, thanks to the dressing habits of students in some regions of Cloudrise, this kind of length became ordinary.

The two matched together, coupled with Bai Wei's blushing red face, giving a strong sense of a "conservative schoolgirl forced to be bold."

This intense sense of contrast instantly made the viewers remember this background character--

"All right! It's a big-bosomed cute girl!"

"Why didn't you mention something so big earlier?"

"It's the clothes! The clothes concealed her strength!"

"True wisdom looks like folly! Great skill resembles clumsiness! Manifesting supernatural powers! Promising and full of potential! Great Thunder Sound Temple!"

"Gentlemen, starting today I am a Bai Wei simp!"

"I couldn't even imagine how suffocating Bai Wei was when wearing her combat uniform!"

Beside Bai Wei, Xiao Ningxi had also changed into a white lace-trimmed dress, along with white long gloves and white silk stockings, both featuring cute lace edging at the borders.

As for slightly daring aspects, they did exist.

This long dress, looking somewhat like an evening gown, was an off-the-shoulder outfit with openings on both sides of the waist, splitting all the way from the armpits down to the hips.

Yet three black bows fixed the openings in place from top to bottom, with an even larger bow decoration acting as concealment at the very bottom near the waist and hips.

Through this kind of embellishment, the skin Xiao Ningxi exposed was greatly reduced, leaving only a tiny touch of sexiness.

Instead, innocence and cuteness became the theme of this outfit.

Looking at this outfit, Fire Knife let out a long sigh of relief and typed out a [Cute!] Bullet Comment to send.

This was also the mainstream of the Bullet Comments, mostly consisting of "So cute!" "Ah, I'm dead!" "Such a pretty little dress, are there matching ones?"

In the middle were only a small minority of somewhat perverted Bullet Comments:

"Both cute and sexy, completely poking my XP!"

"So pitiful, if you punched her once, she'd cry for a long time right?"

"Little cutie, come on, big sis will take you to see goldfish~"
