Chapter 55: Kong Xuan's Fifty-Fifth Day of Live Game Development...

The screen displayed a familiar scene: lush vegetation on Zhaoyao Mountain. A child of about three or four years old stood on a mountain path, with blond hair and red eyes, yet possessing a composed demeanor.

Yuan Shi glanced at the title and saw that it read "Kong Xuan's Live Stream".

This toddler, who looks only three or four years old, is actually Kong Xuan, the author of the most discussed strategy guide on the forum.

Seeing that his two elder brothers had come over, Tongtian put aside the previous card-drawing incident and added an expansion array to the screen, thus projecting the image into the sky for them to watch together.

“I suspect this is some old monster pretending to be young.” Tongtian said seriously, “If he were really a three-year-old child, how could he release so many effective strategies in just two days?”

Yuan Shi thought of the gacha metaphysics he had consulted and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"But this person feels strangely familiar to me. Have I seen him somewhere before?" Tongtian stroked his chin. Apart from his two elder brothers and Yuanyi, he rarely interacted with other Daoists in the prehistoric world. For a moment, he couldn't remember who was on the screen.

Yuanshi was also misled by Tongtian's words and began to wonder if the person was someone they knew.

Only Lao Tzu definitively stated: "This is its true form; there is no deliberate attempt to create a different shape."

"Why does it feel so familiar?"

…………

Kong Xuan was unaware of the little incident that had occurred between the three brothers; he was busy studying how to spread the game's core message.

Compared to players who freely follow the game's flow, Kong Xuan, who considers himself the game creator's top disciple, has a higher level of pursuit when it comes to games.

For example, studying the gameplay, delving into the game's principles, or carefully appreciating every ingenious idea the mentor used when creating the game.

So while everyone was unlocking the online system and visiting other players' sites, Kong Xuan ingeniously studied every additional gameplay feature of the game.

The forums were like this in the beginning, and so are the live streams nowadays.

"Live streaming is definitely a powerful tool for promoting games, increasing their popularity, and carrying forward their mission," Little Ginseng said confidently. "It can not only expand the game's influence, but also increase player engagement and interaction, thus promoting the game's healthy development."

Kong Xuan naturally doesn't understand the true meaning, and Xiao Renshen only knows some official terms, but can't explain the specifics in certain aspects.

However, one thing is undeniable: such a brilliant live stream is definitely an important part of the game and greatly benefits its development.

However, despite the server being open for several days, no one except Kong Xuan has discovered this crucial feature.

As a respectful disciple, Kong Xuan naturally couldn't watch his master's hard work go to waste.

So he and Little Ginseng first compiled a strategy guide to generate buzz, and then when everyone had heard of the strategy guide and the name Kong Xuan.

Taking advantage of its popularity, we launched live streaming to popularize this feature among the general public.

Thus, "Kong Xuan's Live Stream" came to be.

Kong Xuan had a stern face, and his chubby cheeks showed a composure beyond his years, but together with his overly childish face, it gave the impression of a child trying to act like an adult.

This instantly attracted a large influx of viewers who love live streamers.

However, Kong Xuan was completely unaware of this, and still kept a straight face, pretending to be dignified as he opened the task interface.

[The Beginning of Preaching: Mount Zhaoyao is being invaded by ferocious beasts. Please defeat the beasts and complete the mission of spreading the word!]

This is the first mission to spread the Dao after arriving in the prehistoric world in "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Cloud". After all, it is the first mission in the series of missions to spread the Dao, so the difficulty is extremely low.

If you defeat the three level 10 ferocious beasts and then give the "Remnants of the Great Dao" they drop to the Xingxing Beast on Zhaoyao Mountain, allowing one of them to comprehend the Dao, you can perfectly clear the level and obtain the "Seed of Transmission," which will definitely draw a destined person.

In short, this is a free quest for beginners, giving everyone a character card to complete the subsequent beginner tutorial. Most people did it without hesitation.

Now everyone has discovered that even the most difficult first level of the strategy guides on the forum hasn't been cleared, which has sparked a lot of discussion.

[How could this little kid possibly write so many guides? He's probably just an imposter, trying to get attention.]

But it is clear that ignorance is bliss. Those who are truly knowledgeable in the primordial world naturally know that once a powerful being's name reaches the Heavenly Dao, it cannot be changed at will.

After a moment of contemplation, Kong Xuan drew a binding formation in front of the location where the chaotic beast was about to appear, and then turned and left without looking back.

[Is the mission over?]

[Definitely not, no rewards have been given out yet. This formation can only trap the Chaos Beast temporarily. If it's not eliminated quickly, it will definitely run into the Xingxing and devour them all.]

[That's enough, she's just a little kid who doesn't know how to play.]

[I knew this so-called Kong Xuan was a fraud; he probably even made up the strategy guides on the forum.]

With the deliberate stirring up of "interested individuals," in just a few moments, the discourse praising Kong Xuan and belittling Kong Xuan split into two camps, drawing in those who originally intended to wait and see what would happen next.

Some even went so far as to declare that they would definitely find the person who provoked them and teach him a lesson.

Even those who were originally focused on playing games and didn't pay attention to the live stream, became excited and came to Kong Xuan's live stream to watch the drama unfold after discovering that the conflicts in the game had escalated into real-world issues.

At this moment, Kong Xuan, who had turned and left, reappeared in the live broadcast room. This time, the three-year-old boy was carrying two Xingxing beasts that were as big as him.

The white-eared monkey was now bruised and swollen, looking haggard, and had even lost two of its sharp teeth.

Behind the child and the giant ape, a series of apes followed one after another in an attempt to save their leader, emitting shrill cries of fear and intimidation.

The previously noisy chat suddenly went silent until a solitary comment expressed everyone's feelings.

[What is this doing?]

As everyone knows, the first mission is to rescue the Xingxing, whose home has been invaded by ferocious beasts, and to teach them the art of cultivation so that they can protect themselves.

However, Kong Xuan first temporarily trapped the ferocious beasts unharmed, then turned around and beat up the previously peaceful Xingxing leader. Furthermore, he used the emperor as a puppet to command the feudal lords, leading the entire Xingxing tribe to the danger of the three ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts that had been scurrying around the formation like headless flies suddenly stopped when they saw the plump Xingxing tribe. Their heads stopped tilting, their legs stopped turning, and their sharp teeth began to drip with saliva. Their red eyes were fixed on the Xingxing meat.

What kind of situation is this?

Kong Xuan felt that the original method of the ferocious beasts eating the Xingxing was too inefficient, as some Xingxing would always manage to escape from the jungle, leaving behind those that were caught.

So this time, out of great compassion, he led all the Xingxing to the ferocious beast, hoping that all members of the tribe could live and die together inside its belly, becoming one with it.

That's so thoughtful and considerate!

[Didn't anyone tell Kong Xuan that if the ferocious beast ate too many Xingxing, the mission would fail and he wouldn't get the reward?]

Then, just as the ferocious beast went on a killing spree, his mission completion rate dropped to a negative number, marking his failure and causing him to miss out on the destined person who was always given as a gift in the game's tutorial.

Not everyone wanted to see Kong Xuan, who was already quite famous on the forum, fail his mission in his very first live broadcast.

Some even felt that the travel guide made their trip more enjoyable, and out of gratitude to Kong Xuan, they couldn't help but remind him.

Immediately, a barrage of well-meaning comments appeared.

[Take these Xingxing back; the formation is about to break.]

If too many Xingxing are eaten, the missionary work cannot be completed, and the difficulty of subsequent missions will increase.

[They're just a few ferocious beasts, right? Let me into the world, I'll smash one of them with one punch.]

Kong Xuan ignored the pop-up screen in front of him, holding the Xingxing leader in one hand and stopping in front of the binding formation.

Through a thin layer of array, the Chaos Beast's mouth opened wide, almost enough to swallow Kong Xuan and Xingxing at the same time.

During Kong Xuan's brief stop, the agile Xingxing, with its family, arrived not far from Kong Xuan. However, sensing the rampant appetite of the chaotic beast, it stopped out of its survival instinct.

Then, because of the leader's mournful cry, it howled anxiously from ten feet away, circling around the ferocious beast and Kong Xuan.

In an instant, this comical scene appeared on the live stream screen.

A ferocious beast opened its blood-red maw, and a naive child picked up the beast as if to feed it, while the beast's own kind dared not step forward, unable to save it.

The ferocious beasts that wanted to eat were trapped in the formation, while the Xingxing that wanted to save its leader were afraid of the beasts. Kong Xuan, who set up the formation and threatened the Xingxing, stood still. If he took another step forward, he would be fed by the beasts, and if he took another step back, he would save the Xingxing leader's life.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kong Xuan slowly raised his hand and pushed the Xingxing leader in front of him forward a step.

The ferocious beast was overjoyed and opened its huge mouth to swallow it. Three blood-red maws simultaneously loomed over the Xingxing leader's head. The Xingxing leader, who had been struggling, was now so terrified that he could not even make a sound.

Meanwhile, the Xingxing tribe watching from the sidelines let out mournful cries. The cries of hundreds of Xingxing blended together, a sight that would break one's heart and bring tears to one's eyes.

Even viewers watching the live stream were captivated by the Xingxing's voice, their hearts filled with anger, resentment, fear, and sorrow, and they looked at Kong Xuan with hatred in their eyes.

"Why are you crying? It's not dead yet. You still have a chance to save it."

Kong Xuan's voice instantly silenced the wailing and crying that had been rising and falling; under her phoenix-like voice, the world was at peace.

The many Xingxing, who were still crying and unable to catch their breath, raised their heads. They saw their leader, who should have been inside the beast's belly, hanging in mid-air, eyes tightly closed, curled up in a ball, being chased by three beasts leaping below, but each time he was just a little short, barely managing to save his life.

At this moment, Kong Xuan's voice, which was both persuasive and seductive, came: "Do you want to save it? Do you want to avoid being threatened by the ferocious beast and me? Come, follow me and develop your own potential."
