Chapter 50 - Live Stream Begins
The secret realm was opened by the outer gate steward elder of Xuantian Holy Land. As soon as the entrance to the secret realm opened, people began to enter one after another.
Ji Lanqing bid farewell to Jun Jiuxiao and prepared to leave.
“Safety is the most important. I will wait for your return outside,” Jun Jiuxiao said without thinking.
“I’ll definitely come back safely, so the Holy Son won’t have to wait in vain.” Ji Lanqing smiled gently.
Everyone was captivated by that smile. What a smile that could topple cities. If they were in Jun Jiuxiao’s place, they would also be moved enough to fight for her, not just the Ji family of the Eastern Region, but even the Ji family of the Great Zhou Empire.
Jun Jiuxiao was still uneasy and handed a pearl to Ji Lanqing.
“This pearl contains my full-strength attack. Use it if you encounter danger.”
Ji Lanqing took the pearl and choked with emotion as she said, “Thank you, Holy Son.”
Jun Jiuxiao said no more and watched her enter the secret realm.
As Ji Lanqing’s figure was about to disappear, Jun Jiuxiao sent a strand of his divine sense with her. If she encountered danger, he would sense it immediately and be able to teleport to her side.
After Ji Lanqing left, Jun Jiuxiao felt uneasy, like a parent who had raised a child for a long time and then watched them go out into the world. He was worried about her being injured, not having enough to eat, or being cold.
The secret realm was open for four hours, or eight hours by Earth’s timekeeping, from ten in the morning until six in the afternoon.
Jun Jiuxiao sat in the main seat of the observation platform reserved for the elders of various sects. He had left recording stones all around the core of the secret realm, so that everyone could clearly see the grand and heroic deeds of the male lead, Lin Chen, in action.
Jun Jiuxiao, feeling somewhat bored, closed his eyes, still worried about Ji Lanqing. What if she encountered a powerful demon beast? Or should he follow her in with his own consciousness?
But this secret realm was too low-level, his powerful divine consciousness might cause it to collapse. At most, he could only attach a trace of non-spiritual divine sense to follow her. His mighty divine consciousness going in would definitely be problematic.
Worried about his “child” in the secret realm, Jun Jiuxiao was quite restless. He was also more anxious thinking about what if Ji Lanqing developed feelings for Lin Chen in the secret realm.
At this moment, the voice of 2233 sounded in Jun Jiuxiao’s mind.
【Host, are you bored? If you’re bored, just tell 2233.】
Jun Jiuxiao gave 2233 a blank look and ignored it.
2233, seeing that Jun Jiuxiao was ignoring it, quickly said, 【Host, I just repaired a function that allows you to watch what the male and female leads are doing, as long as they are within ten thousand miles.】
“Oh? Then show me Ji Lanqing’s screen.”
2233 weakly replied, 【Host, watching the live stream of the male and female leads costs 10 points per minute.】
2233 had just learned the term “live stream” from the human encyclopedia and thought it was quite fitting to use it now.
“Hmm, then go ahead and start the live stream for Ji Lanqing.”
【Okay, Host.】 2233 was very excited. It was curious to see the live stream, having learned about the concept and the practice of tipping top streamers. It wanted to become a “big shot” tipping master as well.
After waiting for a while and not seeing the live stream, Jun Jiuxiao knew that 2233 was failing again.
He asked, “Are you having problems again?”
【Host, I don’t know what’s going on. The livestream for the female lead just won’t open.】 2233’s voice crackled, sounding a bit embarrassed.
Once again, 2233 was looked upon with disdain by Jun Jiuxiao. To regain face, it quickly added【Host, but the male lead’s live stream can be opened normally. Would you like to see that instead?】
“This live stream seems unreliable. What if I spend points and it turns out to be useless, or if something goes wrong?” Jun Jiuxiao said.
2233 wanted to say that its live stream wouldn’t have any issues, but the problem with Jie Lanqing’s live stream had just happened. 2233 timidly asked Jun Jiuxiao, 【Host, what should I do?】
“Then first let me try out Lin Chen’s live feed to see if there are any problems. If it’s fine, then I’ll consider continuing to use it,” Jun Jiuxiao was taking advantage again. He was willing to spend points on Ji Lanqing’s stream, but found it not worth it for Lin Chen’s.
2233 thought for a moment and said, 【Alright, this time it’ll be free for you to try out the effect.】
【Host, the live stream definitely won’t disappoint you. Trust me.】
Jun Jiuxiao remained silent but looked at 2233 with skepticism.
2233 quickly set up the live stream for Lin Chen, adjusting the quality to ultra-high definition.
【Host, super HD is 100 points per minute, but I’ve specially arranged it for you.】
“Where did you get the points from? Did you embezzle mine?” Jun Jiuxiao looked at 2233 with suspicion.
Remembering that Jun Jiuxiao had said no one could take advantage of him, and thinking about Jun Jiuxiao’s ruthless methods toward enemies, 2233 couldn’t help but shiver.
It quickly explained, 【Host, I didn’t steal any of your points. I secretly operated behind the scenes, taking advantage of the fact that the main system wasn’t monitoring me at the moment.】
Jun Jiuxiao understood, meaning that in the future, he could watch the live streams of the male and female leads for free.
With this kind of behind-the-scenes operation, the difference was only between doing it once and doing it countless times. Since 2233 could do it secretly once, it could do it twice, and then countless times.
Jun Jiuxiao didn’t say anything, preparing to watch the male lead Lin Chen’s live stream.
