Chapter 1: Live broadcast room upgrade

"The new anchor just started broadcasting. Does anyone want to see his talent?"

Xia Zhi whispered to the live camera.

After failing an acting audition and running out of savings, a senior schoolmate she knew told her that becoming a live streamer and building up her fan base might help her get more points for her next audition.

But I didn’t expect live streaming to be so difficult. No one stayed in the live streaming room.

Xia Zhi sighed softly and was about to close the live broadcast room when a software update prompt suddenly appeared on his phone screen.

[The live broadcast room is being upgraded. The live broadcast room upgrade is complete.]

[Marshal Leona of the Nado Empire has entered your livestream!]

Imperial Marshal Leona? What kind of weird, chuunibyou ID is this?

Xia Zhi was still sighing when the number of viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly went from 0 to 1.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked softly, "Welcome Mr. Leona to my live studio. Do you want to listen to music or watch a dance?"

Suddenly hearing the female's voice, the lion, who was surrounded by black mist, trembled and raised his head slightly.

In the previous battle, Leona, the Imperial Marshal, was besieged by 4S monsters.

Despite trying his best to kill all the alien beasts, he was infected by the dark matter formed after the beasts died. The contamination value reached 99.7%, making it impossible to maintain his human form.

All the females were summoned to the Royal Hospital to groom him.

However, because his evolutionary level is the highest 4S, the compatibility rate between him and females is too low.

So their counseling was ineffective and only delayed the time when he was completely contaminated.

Now, Leona's golden eyes, once praised by the people of the empire as the light of the empire, have been mostly infected by black mist.

Once Leonardo's eyes are completely contaminated by the black substance, the percentage displayed on the monitor on the wall will become 100%.

Then, Leona will turn into an irrational mad beast and attack all living things he sees.

The state would lock such males in power-blocking shackles and send them to the Tower of Exile, where orcs who had become mad beasts would fight each other to death.

Not executing them directly is the last kindness that all orc countries show to male beasts who have made contributions.

Leonard knew he was at the end of his rope, but he didn't want to go to the Tower of Exile.

As a soldier, even if it means losing himself, his hands should not be stained with the blood of any orcs.

While he was still conscious, Leonardo opened the bracelet and logged into the Star Network, wanting to leave a suicide note.

The pain caused by the change in pollution value caused him to touch the screen by mistake, and the smart terminal accidentally connected to a live broadcast room called "Zhizhi".

Leona stared at the little female on the screen.

She only revealed her upper body, clad in a white dress. Her neck was thin, with noticeable collarbones. Her face was small, the size of a palm, with delicate features, curled eyelashes, bright eyes, and bright red lips that were as plump as petals.

But there is not much flesh on her cheeks.

Good-looking, but too thin, and looks like he is having a hard time due to food shortage.

Leonard fell silent.

Could it be that the little female Zhizhi was born on a poor planet, and because her information was not entered into the star network, she was unable to receive support and love from the male men, so she is so thin?

Females are the most precious creatures in all orc countries. Even if Zhizhi was born in a slum, she should be reported by local managers so that she can get the necessary resources as she grows up.

When she reaches adulthood, she can freely choose the man she likes to be supported by him.

A brief moment of thinking brings pain from the sea of ​​​​the soul.

As the crystal core in his spiritual sea was invaded by the black mist, Leona whimpered weakly in pain.

The pollution level monitor sounded an alarm, rapidly soaring from 98% to 99.999%.

Once the value reaches 100%, the energy-disabling shackles in the ward will be removed by a mechanical arm, and the former Imperial Marshal will be tied up and sent to the Tower of Exile.

Leonard bit his arm hard, trying to stay awake a little longer.

He didn't want to give up just like that.

"Mr. Leona? Are you...are you still there?" When Xia Zhi didn't get a response from Leonardo, he spoke again.

She really wants to turn the first viewer who stays so long into the first fan.

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to take the initiative to show himself and directly played the song accompaniment.

"How about this, I'll sing you one of my best songs, 'No Makeup'. If you think it's good, please follow me, thank you."

Xia Zhi couldn't see where her only audience was, so naturally she didn't know that while she was speaking, the value on the monitor on the wall changed from 99.999% to 99% and was still decreasing.

She paused and started the accompaniment, and the value rose instantly again.

Just as the number 99 kept flashing and was about to change into a substantial 100, Xia Zhi cleared his throat and sang the first line to the rhythm of the music: "Another quiet night..."

The soft voice unique to females transformed into a pleasant song, which came out from the smart terminal on Leona's wrist.

Every word blew through Leona's body like a breeze, enveloping the drowsy lion.

The severe pain in Leonardo's spiritual sea suddenly disappeared, and the black substance on the crystal core gradually peeled off.

The 99% pollution value also decreased steadily, with each flash and jump decreasing by one percent.

Leonard, who was struggling to resist the pain, suddenly froze.

The pollution level in his body, which no female could resist, was actually slowly dissipating with the singing of the little female on the screen!

Unable to believe this fact, the Imperial Marshal just sat there in a daze listening to the entire unfamiliar song.

Finally, the singing stopped, and Leona was awakened by the little female's shy question: "Mr. Leona, since you haven't left, I should sing pretty well. Can you follow me and give me a like? These are all free."

Like, follow? What are those?

The Imperial Marshal, who had never watched a live broadcast, was confused.

He glanced at the numbers displayed on the monitor on the wall, his heartbeat slowed down, and his golden eyes were suddenly filled with joy.

"70%..." Just by listening to a song, the pollution value dropped by 29%!

If he listens to a few more songs, wouldn't his pollution value return to his personal stable data of 30%?

Leona stared at the little female in the live broadcast room as if she were looking at a world treasure.

He stood up from the ground, flicked his tail, and raised his paw to type on the virtual screen.

[Excuse me, besides liking and following you, what else should I do to hear you sing more?]

After asking politely, Leonard used the search function again.

He quickly followed Xia Zhi and set him as a special follower. He then bought a clicker to automatically like Xia Zhi's livestream.

Xia Zhi saw the attention and the rising number of likes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes sparkled: "If you send me a fan light board, I can hear the next song." Leona looked at the tutorial he found and found the fan light board.

The recharge interface pops up in the live broadcast room.

Without hesitation, Leonardo deposited two-thirds of his available funds. In an instant, a number starting with 6 appeared in the area representing Leonardo's balance, followed by a seemingly endless string of zeros.

After recharging the money, Leona first gave Xia Zhi the fan light board he wanted.

Discovering that the light signs were particularly cheap, he frowned and became more certain of his thoughts.

This little female has a hard life, so when she asks the male for gifts, she only dares to ask for the cheapest ones.

How could this be allowed? Wouldn't that mean any man could trick her into becoming his wife?
