Autumn Outing

Another weekend in October.

Liang Xing, under the guise of an Autumn Outing, gathered the child stars he had previously signed.

Qi Tian was, of course, no exception.

Liang Xing only asked him as a formality, and the little guy immediately guaranteed that he wouldn't neglect his studies, pestering Liang Xing relentlessly to let him join the Autumn Outing.

As for A Lie and Qian Lai, they caught wind of the news from who knows where and followed along with cheeky grins.

—Actually, Liang Xing had someone inform them.

He just had to casually mention that Liang Xing was gathering Digivice beta testers—mainly the signed child stars and Qi Tian—and then "accidentally" let A Lie and Qian Lai overhear. Naturally, the two of them would take the bait.

But since they invited themselves, there would definitely be no appearance fee.

The two of them then learned that Liang Xing was planning to film a reality show.

Of course, it was less of a show and more of a promotion for the Digivice.

The original plan was to edit and film a Digital World Adventure, but now the public already knew about the existence of Digimon.

Their curiosity about Digimon would definitely outweigh their weariness after being hurt by them.

Or rather, they simply didn't know how uncomfortable that weariness could be.

In this situation, collecting footage would definitely not be as easy as originally planned, so Liang Xing was thinking about whether to change the direction of the promotion first.

At the very least, he had to make sure they were afraid of Digimon attacks, instead of curiously wanting to pet them when they saw one.

This wasn't like petting cats or dogs!

Although the weariness inflicted by the Holographic Projection Digimon wouldn't actually harm the human body, and might even help people sleep better.

But falling asleep on the streets wouldn't exactly be harmless to the human body either.

At least your clothes would get dirty!

Liang Xing needed the public to understand the effects of weariness before he could start filming the Digital World Adventure.

It just so happened that someone mentioned school Autumn Outings during a family dinner for Liang Xing's birthday recently.

Liang Xing had a flash of inspiration. Didn't the original series start with a summer camp?

Then why not start with an Autumn Outing? It could be considered a warm-up activity for the Digital World Adventure.

And so, the reality show Autumn Outing began its preparations.

Before it had even officially started filming, Baisha TV had already booked the premiere.

Originally, Baisha City was a prefecture-level city and the provincial capital of Baisha Province, a megacity. Liang Xing was single-handedly boosting Baisha City's tourism economy, and the Baisha Province government's favoritism towards him was blatant.

The capable rise, the mediocre fall.

Huaxia has never hidden its favoritism towards talented people.

As long as you don't break the law, the country will always support you.

Therefore, Liang Xing's application for relevant materials went especially smoothly, and everything was completed in less than a day.

"Xing-ge!"

On the day of the gathering, A Lie shouted and rushed over from a distance.

He had a backpack hanging on his chest, and Liang Xing knew without thinking that his partner Digimon was definitely inside.

But compared to Qi Tian and the others, A Lie and Qian Lai's Digimon were still in their In-Training stages.

So Liang Xing just had someone mention it in their vicinity. As for whether they actually came or not, it didn't really matter.

"Xing-ge, have you had breakfast?"

A Lie had specifically asked Liang Xing if he was allowed to livestream at any time, as long as it didn't affect the official filming.

So he was livestreaming while gathering.

"I've already eaten. Go get on the bus and wait."

Liang Xing also took the opportunity to use A Lie's livestream to promote the effects of weariness. He wanted to prevent everyone from rushing up to touch the Digimon without fear of exhaustion when he really needed to film the public.

—That would be too difficult to edit~

"Uncle A Lie! Over here!" Qi Tian waved from the window. A Lie responded with a smile, and followed Liang Xing's instructions to get on the bus and wait for the others.

Besides Qi Tian and the driver, there were two other children on the bus.

One was a boy in the first year of junior high school, about the same age as Qi Tian, named Lian Jin.

He was playing something on his laptop, with a cute pink little guy—Mochimon—sitting on his head.

"Hi hi~" Mochimon grinned at A Lie and greeted him.

The other was a fifth-grade girl wearing a hat, named Ning Jing.

She was holding a young adult fiction novel in her hands, frowning slightly.

When A Lie got on the bus, the little girl looked up when she heard the noise and politely greeted A Lie, "Hello, Uncle."

Next to her was a bulbous small Digimon with a large flower on its head—Piyomon, who also greeted A Lie.

Liang Xing allowing A Lie to livestream was, of course, after he had already spoken to the child actors.

However, out of politeness, A Lie still asked, and Lian Jin only then noticed someone else had gotten on the car, smiling as he greeted them.

Since Liang Xing had mentioned it to the child actors, and A Lie had proactively asked, the two of them smiled and greeted the viewers in the livestream.

While they weren't super famous child actors, there were viewers in the livestream who had seen them in TV dramas, leading to another round of discussion.

'This Autumn Outing is something else! Child actors plus a streamer? What's Boss Liang planning?'

Viewers who had been following since the GD Racers knew that Liang Xing was the one leading this Autumn Outing.

This Autumn Outing couldn't just be about taking his nephew out to play, right?

During the discussion, Mochimon and Piyomon appeared on screen, and the direction of the comments instantly changed.

'Is this heaven?'

'New Digimon!'

'Ahhh! How can I get a Digimon?'

'What Digimon are those?'

[Gifted a Cruise Ship *1]

"I don't know either, let me ask them."

A Lie was also seeing Mochimon and Piyomon for the first time. Seeing the livestream flooded with questions, he tentatively asked, "What are your Digimon called? This is my partner, Choromon."

The viewers in the livestream had already seen A Lie's Digimon many times.

It looked like a gray mouse and was particularly lively.

"I'm Mochimon."

"I'm Piyomon."

The two Digimon proactively introduced themselves, even moving closer to the livestream, causing another round of wailing from the viewers in the livestream.

These were toys that money couldn't buy; they could only feast their eyes.

"Uncle A Lie! Here!"

Qi Tian's Kurokyumon had also successfully evolved into Koromon. Moreover, because it had single-handedly devoured the Goblinmon's 'experience,' Koromon was also the Digimon closest to the Champion stage among the beta testers.

"Hi! Tian-tian, did you eat breakfast?"

Because of A Lie's arrival, the few little ones on the car also started moving around.

Lian Jin didn't continue fiddling with his laptop, and Ning Jing was very curious about Koromon.

As child actors, Lian Jin and Ning Jing were past the stage of getting overly excited around people.

Qi Tian, on the other hand, had matured a lot because of his experiences with GD Racers during this time.

So, seeing Lian Jin fiddling with his laptop and Ning Jing sitting properly and reading a book, he was too embarrassed to disturb them.

It was different with A Lie here.

With an adult on the car, the little ones naturally gathered together.

"What book were you reading just now?" Qi Tian finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart.

"It's not good, a love story about a bunch of unlucky people."

"Oh—not good!" Qi Tian echoed, as if he understood.

Here comes the recommendation, let's temporarily evolve into a three-chapter-a-day beast and give it a try.
