Yu Mian couldn’t stand Ernis’s smug expression any longer and quickly explained with a chuckle.
Afraid that if this crab kept showing off, he might actually get pinned down for a real-life beatdown by the fans.
[Wuuu, why do I feel that the interaction between Teacher Fish Soup Noodles and Xiao Er is kind of cute?]
[I agree. Xiao Er has always been quite arrogant, but every time, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles manages to keep him in check (deep in thought.jpg)]
While Yu Mian, Ernis, and the others were discussing the theme song collaboration, the comments in the barrage couldn’t help but quietly start their own discussion.
After all, Ernis was undeniably a top-tier celebrity. With his guest appearance on the live broadcast, the combined influence of two major traffic magnets instantly brought massive attention to the “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” drama and its theme song.
But just as the barrage was getting increasingly off-track, the live broadcast room was suddenly flooded with a dazzling downpour of meteor showers, causing everyone’s light screens to lag for a moment.
The biggest gift on Starry Live was the Meteor Shower, and this time, an uncountable number of them were thrown all at once, triggering a dreamy and breathtaking combo effect.
Who was this ridiculously wealthy fan of Fish Soup Noodles?
[Meteor shower reward X100][Ting: I don’t think so.]
When this message scrolled across the screen, all the spectators in the barrage froze.
You don’t think so?
Don’t think what?
[Big Boss, what exactly don’t you think?]
[I am dying of laughter, don’t tell me you don’t think Fish Soup Noodles and Xiao Er’s interaction is cute? Hahahaha]
[Okay, okay, this ID is very familiar. Every time Teacher Fish Soup Noodles updates a chapter, their name is always at the top of the gift list!]
In the office, Secretary Hals, who had been watching the whole thing, nearly lost his composure.
He stared as Huo Ting tapped a few times on his light brain, then expressionlessly returned to flipping through his documents.
‘Childish. So childish!’
‘Do men in love all become this childish?’
Today was originally supposed to be a day off so his boss could go out with Young Master Yu Mian, but a last-minute emergency meeting at the military headquarters meant he couldn’t make it in time.
So he had been right on time to witness his boss silently open the light brain.
Today’s live broadcast guest was supposed to be that famous celebrity, and, admittedly, he was indeed quite lively and handsome.
As Hals waited for the documents to be signed, he couldn’t resist sneaking a few glances as well.
As a result, he saw a strange group emerging in the barrage–CP fans.
Unfortunately, just as they started to appear, Huo Ting swiftly and forcefully suppressed them.
[Starlight Flower X5][Feather Monster: I agree. I completely agree. It’s not cute at all. Obviously, I have more interaction with Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, okay? We’re even doing a collaborative live broadcast of the Taoyuan Restaurant game next time! Everyone, you’re welcome to come and watch!]
But what caught everyone off guard was that the dazzling meteor shower earlier was just the beginning. Even the lurking gaming legend Noel couldn’t resist joining the fray.
Ever since getting to know Yu Mian through the cooking live broadcasts, Noel had indeed collaborated and interacted with him frequently. He even often helped promote the games under Taoyuan Studios.
[Sea of Stars X10][Stellar Medal: ??? I still remember that I am actually the number one fan. I even read some of the forum fanfics of us.]
In the ensuing chaos, even “Stellar Medal” Omirs showed up.
If we’re talking about legendary interactions, what could be more legendary than someone who, after reading Fish Soup Noodles’ novel, went from being a star pirate to a full-time writer?
[Huh? I’m dying of laughter, so all this time, there have been so many big names lurking in the live broadcast room?]
[Wait, Stellar Medal, what kind of dangerous words are you saying? What fanfics?! Drop a link…]
[Brilliant Morning Star X10][Lilith: ? Not allowed. Also, the singing…terrible.]
With Lilith joining in, today’s live broadcast took a completely unpredictable turn.
[Miss Lilith just straight-up attacked Xiao Er. She said his singing is bad, help, I’m laughing so hard my stomach is hurting.]
[Cold, few words, but absolutely devastating. Miss Lilith, the queen of verbal assassination!]
Countless gifts flooded the screen, drawing even more traffic to the live broadcast. The entire platform was now funneling viewers into the live broadcast room, causing lag so severe that even Yu Mian, who had been focused on his discussion, finally noticed something was off.
“Uh… what is going on?”
When Yu Mian saw the ID of the instigator, “Ting”, he couldn’t help but feel both exasperated and amused.
Weren’t they supposed to be in a meeting? So it was already over?
[Hals: Report! The meeting has ended. I just tried to stop him, but I failed.]
A secret message from Secretary Hals popped up.
Yu Mian felt the urge to facepalm.
Why did it feel like he was being watched by a family member while live broadcasting?
“Damn it, are they the only ones who can send gifts?! It’s not their turn to object, okay!”
As for Ernis, who had been smug just moments ago, he was caught off guard by so many people ganging up on him. He grabbed his light brain furiously and was ready to fight back.
“Ahem, okay, that’s enough. Everyone, stop spamming gifts!” Yu Mian coughed. “Lilith, it’s been a while. And honestly, to be fair, Xiao Er’s singing isn’t bad. Don’t stir up trouble, especially you, Ting…I’m calling you out.”
The next second, Yu Mian shut off all gift effects, and the live broadcast room finally stopped lagging.
“Ugh, I didn’t even get to throw my gift yet…”
Ernis’ frustrated wail echoed through the live broadcast room, making everyone burst into laughter.
Well, considering how cocky he had been earlier, it wasn’t surprising he got collectively besieged and opposed.
Just as Ernis was about to beg Fish Soup Noodles to turn the gift button back on, he noticed Yu Mian looking down, typing a message on his light brain.
And he was smiling.
Ernis blinked a few times, momentarily spacing out.
It wasn’t until his brother, Douglas, patted him on the shoulder that he snapped back to reality.
‘Who was he chatting with?’
[Xiao Er stopped talking? Could he really be sad?]
After laughing, the fans in the live broadcast room noticed that Ernis had gone silent and subconsciously started to worry.
[But wouldn’t that Ting guy have it worse? He threw out so many gifts only to be personally called out by Teacher Fish Soup Noodles! Hahaha]
[Right? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles was very nice to Miss Lilith but only singled out one person. So, Xiao Er, what are you even sad about?]
“I’m not sad at all. Hah, anyway, when “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” airs, you’ll all have to obediently listen to my theme song countless times.”
At this moment, Ernis naturally and effortlessly attracted another wave of hate.
[Never mind, I was wrong. I actually worried about whether Xiao Er would be sad. We should just scold him more instead.]
[Agreed. He doesn’t deserve sympathy!]
In an instant, countless fans turned on him.
Meanwhile, the Starry Live staff, who were scrambling to maintain the overloaded servers, were laughing as they watched the incredibly entertaining broadcast, and at the same time they lamented that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ live broadcast room was probably the top live broadcast in every sense.
“Why does it feel like we paid for one guest but got a whole lineup of big names?”
The head of Starry Live stroked his chin, enjoying this wonderful feeling.
“Well, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ works are just that attractive as IPs. It’s only natural that so many celebrities are eager to interact and make an appearance.”
Eternal Live, which had failed to keep him in the past, was probably crying in the bathroom right now.
While the next few chapters of “I Picked Up A Traveling Light Brian” were being serialized, Huanyu took the opportunity to officially announce the details of the haunted house event in collaboration with Piedmont Amusement Park.
Haunted houses in amusement parks across major star systems would open simultaneously, ensuring that fans in different locations could fully enjoy the experience.
This time, it wouldn’t be a limited-time pop-up event. Instead, it would be a permanent attraction at Piedmont Theme Park.
“And this time, there will also be a haunted house live broadcast across the entire star network. If players agree to authorize it, fans outside can watch some of the most thrilling moments inside the haunted house.”
“Yes, in addition, we’ll be holding the ‘Fearless King’ challenge. Each day, the player with the highest overall score upon completing the haunted house will receive a special co-branded gift package from the park, containing exclusive “I Picked Up A Traveling Light Brian” merchandise that hasn’t been publicly released yet.”
During an interview with reporters, Piedmont’s Federation Star Region director, Mrs. Kyra, smiled as she introduced several key features of the haunted house event.
Once the announcement of the live broadcast and the ‘Fearless King’ competition came out, it instantly drew an overwhelming level of attention.
Fans from distant star systems were especially fired up.
[Okay, okay! It’s finally our turn! I even think they should hold a haunted house regional competition to determine which star system’s fans are the bravest!]
[That’s right! This will be an interstellar battle of courage! And if our star system wins, can Teacher Fish Soup Noodles come to an in-person event? QWQ (Let me dream a little…)]
[Since we’re dreaming, why not dream big? How about a book signing?]
The heated discussions online even prompted Piedmont and Huanyu to seriously consider the idea. After all, it did sound pretty fun.
At the very least, they could see whether the fans from distant star systems were as fearless as they claimed.
“Why do I feel like they’re so eager and excited now, but once the haunted house officially opens, that fearlessness might not last?”
Yu Mian found the situation amusing.
From what he knew, the different haunted houses this time were all meticulously crafted, with major improvements in facilities and special effects compared to the previous pop-up versions.
“Why don’t we go and challenge it ourselves?”
Yu Mian placed a ticket in Huo Ting’s hand, thinking that with their cooperation, clearing the haunted house should be a breeze.
