The moment the voting channel opened, the Soul Guidance Rabbit Ear Accessory, modeled after Xiao Wu's, saw its vote count skyrocket!

Five minutes later, voting closed. The Rabbit Ear Accessory won with 1.27 million votes, accounting for 17.2% of the total.

Following closely behind were the Clear Sky Hammer model and the Inversion Pen pendant, both reaching nearly 15%!

"Alright, the results are in. Today's prize is the Soul Guidance Rabbit Ear Accessory!"

Truman tapped the draw button on the system panel and said, "Congratulations to the three lucky viewers with the IDs 'Little Bunny Be Good', 'Trash Master', and 'Handstanding Qian Daoliu' for winning this gift."

"Please download the official Douluo Live App in the livestream room and follow the steps to claim your prize."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau in the capital.

In a command room filled with electronic equipment, the director, Wang Jianjun, wore a special black uniform. His square face was etched with a deep frown as he stared intensely at the massive screen before him.

It was displaying Truman's livestream!

He had been researching paranormal phenomena for twenty years and had seen countless bizarre events, but this was the most reality-defying one yet!

"I want to see exactly what method you use to transmit items from another world into reality!"

Wang Jianjun muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk.

Before long, he found the answer in the livestream's comment section—

The smartphone camera!

It was the female college student with the screen name "Little Bunny Be Good" who had downloaded and opened the prize-claiming page on the Douluo App.

After tapping "Confirm Claim," she followed the on-screen prompts and pointed her phone camera at her desk.

A faint white light flashed. Without a sound, a pink, plush rabbit ear accessory appeared out of thin air on the desktop!

Her fingers trembled as she reached out to touch the accessory, her eyes darting frequently to the rabbit ears on Xiao Wu's head in the livestream, desperately trying to suppress her fear of the unknown.

She gathered her courage and placed the accessory on her head, instantly feeling a strange connection between her scalp and the rabbit ears.

When she felt surprised, the ears would perk up sharply; when she felt a bit shy, they would droop, accurately reflecting her emotions.

Not only that, but after getting the hang of it, she could control the movement of the ears with surprising precision, as if she had actually grown a pair of rabbit ears herself.

Her roommates immediately crowded around her, surrounding her like stars around the moon, and began pulling out their phones to take pictures and post them to their social media feeds!

In just a few minutes, the shares exceeded one hundred thousand!

On second-hand platforms, posts titled "Seeking to Buy Douluo Rabbit Ear Accessory" flooded the screen, with the highest bid already reaching one million!

And the price was still being refreshed constantly.

Wang Jianjun's brows knotted together. He spun around and ordered his subordinates, "Investigate these three winners. The field team must retrieve one of these so-called soul guidance devices, and contact Laboratory No. 1 while you're at it..."

"Yes, sir!"

On Truman's side, he used his livestream points to purchase an extra Rabbit Ear Accessory.

It wasn't a random draw; he gifted it directly to Lin Xiaoyu.

"This is for you, as a thank you for that initial joint broadcast! Otherwise, my livestream might still have single-digit viewers."

This action immediately ignited the audience's emotions!

[Sister Lin, don't let this slick-talking guy Truman corrupt you with his sugar-coated bullets!]

[It was one thing to give them to Xiao Wu or Sister Erlong, but now he's setting his sights on our Sister Lin! Unforgivable!]

[Sister Lin, put it on and let us see! Quick!] ×999

Lin Xiaoyu couldn't resist the fans' pressure and, blushing, placed the accessory on her head.

When she crinkled her eyes and laughed, the pink rabbit ears swayed gently along with her, especially paired with her light cyan Hanfu, making her look like a Jade Rabbit fairy descended from the Moon Palace!

The livestream screen went black instantly.

When it returned to normal three seconds later, the number of online viewers had surged past 12 million!

[Sister Lin is too cute!]

[Rabbit-eared Sister Lin is the GOAT!]

[Screenshot! Screenshot! I'm going to use this as my wallpaper for the rest of my life!]

[I declare this the most beautiful look of the year, bar none!]

A minute later, the three search terms "Lin Xiaoyu Rabbit Ear Accessory," "The Truman Show breaks ten million," and "Douluo Continent is real" dominated the top three spots on the trending list, all followed by bright red "Explosive" tags!

Even the state media posted: "The world is vast, and nothing is too strange!"

Half the entertainment industry was posting photoshopped pictures of themselves with the same accessory, and one top-tier female celebrity even announced she would trade a seaside villa for one!

A certain Hanfu brand released an announcement overnight: "We have urgently designed a replica rabbit ear accessory, on sale tomorrow at 10:00 AM!"

Lin Xiaoyu's manager watched the follower count skyrocket by three million and his hands shook.

Even for Sister Lin, the barrage of creative compliments was becoming a bit much to handle.

Looking at her reflection in the vanity mirror, seeing an outfit that clearly deviated from her usual persona, Lin Xiaoyu took off the accessory amidst the regretful cries in the chat.

Lin Xiaoyu looked at herself in the mirror, face flushed while wearing the rabbit ears, and couldn't help but smile, blooming like a lotus flower.

This was completely inconsistent with her long-standing classical persona, but it had to be said, the hair accessory was truly adorable!

Amidst a sea of "Don't take it off" comments in the chat, Lin Xiaoyu still decisively removed the accessory and carefully tucked it away.

She let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the thick stack of cue cards on the table, and said with a serious expression, "Alright, let's begin the official Q&A session!"

There were far too many netizens who wanted to communicate with Chu Men, but the sheer volume of questions made it impossible for him to read them all, so having Lin Xiaoyu ask on their behalf was the best approach.

Besides, chatting with Sister Lin was truly a pleasant experience!

"It is an honor to be connected with you, and I am very grateful for the gift you bestowed."

Lin Xiaoyu sat up straight, her gaze becoming earnest and her tone turning much more formal.

It had to be said that when she got serious, Lin Xiaoyu truly possessed the aura of a talented woman whose "inner poetry and books lend grace to her appearance."

Every movement she made was uncannily like the seemingly fragile yet actually strong-willed Lin Daiyu from Dream of the Red Chamber!

"The first question is one that I believe everyone is most concerned about."

Lin Xiaoyu pulled out the top cue card, which her team had spent the night selecting from tens of thousands of comments.

"Mr. Chu, is the world you are in truly the one from the novel Douluo Continent? Is it the same as the setting in the novel we read?"

"No need to be so polite, just call me Chu Men."

Chu Men waved his hand and said with a smile, "As everyone can see, I am just an ordinary transmigrator. Although it might sound a bit like a humblebrag, you can just imagine me as an interdimensional explorer, a journalist, or an astronaut... any of those will do!"

"As for whether it's the same? That will require everyone to keep watching the livestream to find out!"

"For example, this Xiao Wu here can eat such a huge carrot in one sitting, and she can fit so many snacks in her stomach—that wasn't in the original work, was it?"

Xiao Wu, who was eating a strawberry-flavored cookie nearby, heard Chu Men speaking ill of her to his "friends." She puffed out her cheeks, wanting to retort, but was so stuffed she couldn't get a word out.

[Xiao Wu really can eat a lot. With that Soft Bone Skill of hers, and being a vegetarian, she might actually be a big eater!]

[Tang San back at Nuoding Academy: Where is my Xiao Wu? Where did my big Xiao Wu go?]

[Xiao Wu: I don't eat Blue Silver Grass! Hahaha.]

"Indeed! Then, greetings to the great explorer, Mr. Chu Men!" Lin Xiaoyu played along with a joke.
