After resolving the issue with the Akita dogs, the livestream chat became much more peaceful.
"Thank you, Yuuka," Zhao Yu said to Yuuka, finally thanking her.
"It's okay, I just don't want Lord Yu to be bullied," Yuuka replied.
"Don't worry, those guys can't bully me," Zhao Yu said, first reassuring Yuuka, then addressing the livestream chat again.
"I've always treated everyone like brothers. You've all seen Yuuka's attitude just now. While I'm not afraid of those Akita dogs, Yuuka is just an ordinary student, and I don't want her to be led astray by some drama."
Is Lord Yu speaking up for me? Yuuka listened quietly to Zhao Yu's words.
She recalled what happened earlier. It seemed like he told them to get out because they doubted her identity, right?
Thinking of this, Yuuka's lips couldn't help but curve upwards, and her unpleasant feelings from the Akita dogs' behavior improved significantly.
[That's true. We were just looking for some fun. Since Yuuka's stance is clear, there's no need to keep bringing this up.]
[Judging by the streamer's attitude just now, he definitely won't tolerate those Akita dogs. We shouldn't let Yuuka see these embarrassing people.]
The comments also began to agree with Zhao Yu's words.
In reality, Akita dogs are looked down upon even in Japan. After all, how can you trust someone who doesn't even love their own country?
The audience could feel Yuuka's sincerity, and that was enough. Watching livestreams was just for entertainment, after all.
Seeing the response from the comments, Zhao Yu set some of his long-time fans as room managers and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, these guys are so used to being dogs that they've even forgotten that Huaxia is the suzerain state of Japan," Zhao Yu said again.
"Mhm! I remember many things from Japan were passed down from Huaxia!" Yuuka softly chimed in.
"Like the tea ceremony, and kimonos, even the world-famous Japanese swords actually have traces of Huaxia in them."
As someone with a literature major, Yuuka, who understood that literature and history are intertwined, knew a great deal about Japan's past.
"Oh, right! Actually, the shakuhachi and Chinese herbal medicine too! Let me tell you..." Once she started talking about topics she was knowledgeable about, Yuuka seemed to have flipped a switch and couldn't stop.
Zhao Yu listened attentively to Yuuka's explanation, even feeling that she knew more about these historical cultures than some people from Huaxia.
This made Zhao Yu sigh inwardly. Those who fawn over Japan are called Akita dogs, so is Yuuka considered a "Jing-Zhong" (someone overly enthusiastic about Chinese culture)?
"Therefore, Huaxia's civilization influences all of East Asia. It's a very excellent country. Everyone should have more confidence in Huaxia!" Yuuka concluded.
[Oh... I feel like I slept through my history classes.]
[Finishing class during the day and then attending another at night? Suddenly, Yuuka seems exactly like our history professor.]
[But Yuuka is also quite cute when she's seriously explaining things.]
[If I had a teacher like her, I wouldn't be doing manual labor.]
Although they were forced to listen to a ten-minute history lesson, everyone didn't seem to mind. Instead, they affirmed Yuuka's professionalism.
After all, there weren't many Japanese people who understood and respected history as she did.
"By the way, Yuuka, are you recording today too?" Zhao Yu asked after Yuuka finished her explanation.
"Yes, why? Lord Yu?" Yuuka asked, a little confused.
"It's nothing. If you're recording, I happen to have a song I want to sing, and I hope you can record it too and post it on YouTube," Zhao Yu said.
When he thought about how these Akita dogs knew less about Huaxia than Yuuka, a Japanese girl, he felt it was necessary to give them a good lesson.
"Eh?! Lord Yu has another song to sing?" Yuuka's spirit immediately perked up, and she asked with great anticipation.
"Mhm, I just thought of this. In professional terms, it's considered freestyle, I guess?" Zhao Yu said.
"Then I'm even more excited. Lord Yu, please start!"
[Ooh! Something new? And it's impromptu?]
[Hurry up and serve it!]
[Is the streamer a genius? He came up with a new song in such a short time?]
[Being a game streamer is really wasting his talent.]
The comments were also looking forward to Zhao Yu's performance, discussing amongst themselves.
"Before I start singing, I want to say that no matter how the Akita dogs deny it, Huaxia's historical depth is there. The Chinese culture wave is the most awesome," Zhao Yu said earnestly.
[I think so too! Chinese culture has always guided surrounding countries!]
[The Chinese culture wave is the most awesome!]
"Alright, I'll begin. As for the accompaniment, I'll get some professional software later, so today it'll be acapella... cough cough..."
Zhao Yu cleared his throat, silently counted the beat, and began to sing.
"If Hua Tuo were alive, he'd cure the worship of foreign things; foreigners learning Chinese characters ignites my national consciousness..."
A rap with a unique accent came out of Zhao Yu's mouth. Both the viewers in the livestream and Yuuka widened their eyes.
As everyone knows, rap has always been a special skill of a certain race, and even much of the domestic rap imitates them.
But Zhao Yu's song gave everyone a different feeling. Unlike rap mixed with English, it had a pure and unique flavor that didn't imitate other countries at all.
[Starting off by calling out the Akita dogs, satisfying!]
[He insults people and then writes a song? Now that's what I call a killer move!]
[So awesome, this flow and arrangement is even better than some underground rappers in Huaxia!]
[You can even put Chinese herbal medicine into a song? Unbelievable!]
As the shocked comments flooded in, Zhao Yu's singing continued.
"Watch me grab a handful of Chinese herbal medicine, and take a dose of pride..."
However, he stopped abruptly after singing this part.
[???? Why did he stop? Keep the music playing and the dancing going!]
[He's teasing us, the streamer knows how to play the game.]
[Damn it, continue! Please!]
"Apologies, everyone..." Zhao Yu's slightly apologetic voice came through.
"I can only improvise this much. I'll need to adjust the rest properly. After all, I'm not a god, I can't just write a complete song this quickly."
This was a lie. How could Zhao Yu not know how the rest of the song went? He had heard it since he was a child.
But if he sang the whole thing in one go, it would undoubtedly be too astonishing. What if someone suspected he had a ghostwriter and he had to prove himself? Zhao Yu wasn't foolish.
Even if he was unrestrained in this parallel world, he still needed to operate within the bounds of a normal person.
Being able to create half of this song in such a short time already almost crushed most current singers. There was no need to be more exaggerated.
"So... so amazing!" On the other side of the screen, Yuuka's eyes seemed to sparkle.
Although she didn't understand the lyrics, they were being translated in real-time. A song that combined the Chinese herbal medicine culture of her country and could integrate so perfectly could no longer be called a half-finished product.
"It's alright, isn't it? Anyone with hands can do this," Zhao Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Let's tentatively name this song 'Compendium of Materia Medica'. I hope it can awaken those who blindly worship foreign things."
[??? I suspect you're subtly dissing us!]
[If you can do it with your hands, what are our hands then? Prosthetics?]
Meanwhile, Li Qingwan was still savoring Zhao Yu's impromptu performance when a bold idea suddenly struck her mind.
