"So weird, why aren't there any viewers?" Tang Keke fiddled with it for a long time. When the stream started, she found that there wasn't a single outside viewer. The online count was only a handful, and they were all just the members of the Light Music Club.
"Did you turn on the People Nearby feature?"
"I did."
An Shiyu pointed out the crux of the problem. "The title is completely plain, and the cover is literally just a guitar. Who do you think would click on that?"
"Then how should I change it?" Tang Keke was curious. Wasn't it perfectly normal for a Light Music Club to use this kind of title and cover?
"Stand right there and don't move," An Shiyu said.
"Oh?" As Tang Keke obediently stood still, An Shiyu took out her phone and snapped a picture of her, then tapped her screen to crop it slightly.
"Use this as the cover," An Shiyu said, pointing at her chest.
"The account will get banned!" Tang Keke immediately retorted. "Are you a pervert?!"
"This is the only chance you'll get in this lifetime. To reforge the glory of the Light Music Club, your assets are duty-bound." An Shiyu put on a deadpan expression and placed a hand on Tang Keke's shoulder.
"Do you really want the Light Music Club to be disbanded because we have no viewers?"
"No way!" Tang Keke immediately shouted back. "Since when were we getting disbanded?!"
While Tang Keke and An Shiyu were bickering, Ye Shuang thought for a moment and then uploaded a group photo of the Light Music Club as the cover.
At the very least, their looks were top-tier. So, very quickly, he noticed a dozen or so viewers trickling into the stream, and a few scattered comments began to appear.
"Holy crap, isn't this our academy's Light Music Club? They're streaming?"
"The school beauty, Bai Yuyou, is so pretty."
"Damn, I love the Raiden Shogun."
However, none of the girls had any experience chatting with a live audience. They just stared blankly at the comments. It seemed these viewers were all students from their own academy.
Perhaps turning on the People Nearby feature had drawn their schoolmates in.
"What do we do next?" Ye Shuang looked at the comments, noticing the viewer count was increasing.
"Sing a song?" Zhi Xia suggested.
"Alright, let's sing!"
The group gathered their focus, picked up their instruments, and prepared to perform.
"What should we sing?"
"Let's sing something we know. Summer Wind?" Zhi Xia smiled.
"Okay."
Accompanied by the melodious music, Linlin held her guitar and began to sing,
"I will always remember the summer wind, clearly saying you love me~"
"I see your cool smile, but there are also times you're shy~"
Very quickly, the group got into the groove. Even though they hadn't played together in a while, it only took a few minutes for everyone to blend perfectly.
Ye Shuang played the piano in the back. With everyone standing there, it felt like they were holding a small concert.
When the final note faded, An Shiyaya trotted over excitedly to check the phone, but her expression quickly froze.
"What's wrong? Let me see." The other girls leaned in to check the viewer count.
After just one song, they found that only a few viewers remained.
Everyone: "..."
This... this isn't right, is it?
Could it be that our singing was that terrible?
"Should we play a few more?" Linlin also found it unbelievable. They clearly had dozens of viewers just a moment ago, but now it was down to single digits.
A few of them were even just there for Ye Shuang, leaving comments like The school doctor brother is so handsome and so on.
"It's always like this at the beginning, don't worry everyone," Ducky spoke up at this moment, sounding like someone with experience. "Just stick with it."
"Oh? True." Everyone agreed that they were being a bit too impatient. After all, they had just started streaming. Having no viewers or fans was actually completely normal.
"Then let's keep going!"
"Let's do this, Keke," Bai Yuyou said, holding her guitar and looking at Tang Keke, who was holding her own.
"Yeah!" Tang Keke raised a small fist.
But after singing for a solid half-hour, the viewer count remained stagnant at seven or eight people.
"I can't do this anymore. Let's just forget about streaming," Tang Keke said.
"Ah... let's take a break." Zhi Xia wiped the sweat from her forehead. They had already burned a lot of energy planting trees today, and she wasn't really in the zone.
Instead, An Shiyaya urged, "Let's stick with it a little longer, everyone!"
"Let's just do it next time. The stream doesn't matter anyway." Tang Keke waved her hand, already planning to slack off.
"If you're this lazy, the few fans we do have will run away too," An Shiyaya said helplessly.
"Shiyaya, why don't we rest for now? After all, we aren't professional streamers. It's fine as long as we're having fun," Zhi Xia said with a smile. Seeing An Shiyaya take it so seriously made her, the club president, feel a bit embarrassed about wanting to rest.
"Let's have a cup of tea," Linlin agreed.
"Yeah!"
Seeing that no new viewers were joining the stream, everyone simply gave up. They sat in their usual spots, laughing, eating snacks, and drinking tea.
"Ye Shuang, a cookie." Bai Yuyou handed a cookie to Ye Shuang, who had just sat down.
"Talk about a three-minute passion," Ye Shuang chuckled.
Left with no other choice, An Shiyaya also sat down to rest. However, instead of eating snacks, she began maintaining her instrument.
The twilight outside the window dyed the club room in warm colors. It was already around six or seven o'clock, almost time to wrap up today's club activities.
"Hm? Is the phone still streaming? Let's put it away."
"Everyone is too slacking," An Shiyaya sighed, then walked over to the phone.
Sure enough, she probably needed to impart some of her experience, right?
But when An Shiyaya picked up the phone, she froze.
Because the number of viewers in the stream had actually surpassed three thousand!
"Eh?" The girl rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. "Three thousand, why?"
Why had the viewer count increased?
"Everyone, the viewer count went up!" An Shiyaya quickly announced.
Hm?
Hearing this, everyone paused for a moment before getting up to check the phone.
"Hahaha, did they not know they were still live? They're all so cute."
"Anyone play Honor of Kings? Looking for a duo."
"I'm a little fairy boy. I might smoke and drink, but I'm a good guy. The bride price is only 300,000. DM me if interested."
"If you can't find a boyfriend, it's just because you aren't trying hard enough."
The comments were completely chaotic, leaving Tang Keke and the others utterly bewildered.
Little did they know, many people had stayed in the stream drawn by the unique, youthful aura of the laughing girls. The sight of them drinking tea and playfully teasing each other was incredibly pleasing to the eye, not to mention that all the girls were highly attractive, even without any beauty filters turned on.
"Streamers, don't play music, just sit there and drink tea?" Zhi Xia let out a noise of surprise upon seeing one of the comments and looked at the group.
"Since it's come to this, let's just drink tea for now," An Shiyu said.
"Uh..."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
