Chapter 8, the newcomer's gift package, is filled with countless extreme weather events...
Because the live stream's perspective wasn't adjusted beforehand, viewers could only see Lu Xuan's blurry figure in the water from above, but couldn't make out what he was looking at clearly.
This really worried them, and they all sent messages asking Lu Xuan to adjust the camera angle, but he was busy catching fish and didn't have time to pay attention to them at all.
Fortunately, he didn't keep everyone waiting for long; soon, fish leaped out of the water and were flung onto the grass.
One, two, three... The increasing number of big fish made the audience forget about being anxious and instead check Lu Xuan's catch.
[Does anyone recognize these fish? They look completely different from the mutated fish in our interstellar space.]
I recognize grass carp, but the darker one should be a snakehead, right?
[And catfish! The ones with the longest whiskers, and catfish are generally quite large, and they taste great!]
[These fish the streamer caught are all huge! The smallest one looks to be seven or eight pounds, and the biggest one must be thirteen or fourteen pounds.]
[Can the streamer finish all these fish? If not, give them to me.]
What are you dreaming about upstairs? The host can't even enable taste sharing, let alone ￥%#￥……
Is this your first time watching an ancient live stream? Are you unaware that features the streamer hasn't activated yet might be blocked by the system?
While the chat on the live stream was in full swing, Lu Xuan, who had jumped into the pool, finally surfaced, clutching a catfish tightly as he made his way ashore.
After seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream paused for a moment, and then started spamming the chat like they were on steroids.
[Ahhh! □□!!! !! I can see muscles!]
[I didn't expect the streamer to look so thin, but she's actually quite well-endowed! *slurp*]
This man is seducing me! If you're so capable, get wet and take your clothes off!
【Excellent! Man, you've successfully caught my attention! Today it's either you marry me or I marry you!】
Accompanying the excited audience were the clanging and banging sounds of gifts being smashed, along with special effects.
Lu Xuan tossed the fish in his hand to join the other fish, casually brushed the hair that was sticking to his face back, glanced at the comments with a nonchalant expression, and raised an eyebrow: "Want to see?"
The screen was filled with the word "want" in the comments.
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly and said coolly, "Then keep thinking about it."
After saying that, he deliberately adjusted the live stream's perspective to the grass next to him.
【Ugh! Are you a sore loser?!】
Why flirt if you're not going to marry me!
[Didn't I give you enough gifts?! Here, take them all, okay?!]
Adjusting the viewing angle didn't affect the reading of the subtitles. Lu Xuan casually said, "I sell my art, not my body," and then ignored the audience who were practically ready to make suggestive remarks on the spot. He looked at the big fish that had been caught and were still jumping around.
Fish don't survive long out of water. After thinking for a moment, he marked out a section of the stream downstream and threw all the fish he had caught into it.
The activity space is a bit small, but as long as we can stay energetic, that's enough.
The temperature in the forest was a bit lower than in the village, but it was summer after all, and his soaked clothes dried in no time. Lu Xuan then took a walk around the area.
Animals need to drink water, and finding prey near water sources is not too difficult. He found two deer without much effort.
These things are really stupid. They don't even know to run away when they're discovered. Lu Xuan originally planned to use the same trick again and solve the problem with a few pebbles, but the audience kept shouting that they wanted to see him show off his skills. Considering that they had thrown a lot of gifts before, Lu Xuan reluctantly satisfied them and kicked both deer, breaking their spines.
A broken spine doesn't mean the prey will die. To alleviate their pain, Lu Xuan finally reached out and twisted the necks of the two deer, giving them a quick death.
"Done." Lu Xuan clapped his hands, looking relaxed, but the viewers in the live stream had mixed feelings.
Although it was indeed their request to Lu Xuan, seeing him snap his prey's neck without batting an eye, many of them felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but rub their arms together on the other side.
[The streamer is awesome! I'm speechless... here's the gift!]
I don't know whether to congratulate the streamer on their great success or feel sorry for those two deer... Oh well, I'll just send them gifts instead.
Lu Xuan noticed the audience's unusual attitude and was about to say, "You guys are so hard to please," when he saw the system message flashing again.
He clicked on it and two small windows popped up immediately.
[A newcomer gift pack and 500 points will be awarded for a live stream that lasts 24 hours.]
[Achieve the '24-hour live stream' achievement to receive 500 points, a family essential medicine gift pack, and unlock access to purchase certain items in the store (see details for details). Next achievement: 240 hours of live stream, reward unknown.]
Lu Xuan did not deliberately turn his back to the audience when he was checking, so the audience also saw these contents.
[Finally received the newcomer gift pack!]
[Host, check what's in the gift pack!]
[It's that time of year again when everyone's most excited to test their luck! Will the streamer be unlucky or lucky? It all comes down to this!]
Lu Xuan noticed something in their comments and asked, "The contents of the gift packs are different for each streamer?"
[That's right! I remember the new player gift pack contained three items: a nutrient solution set, a storage space, and a technology product. The quantity of the nutrient solution, the capacity of the storage space, and the value of the technology product are all variable.]
[If you're lucky, you might win a huge space of thousands of cubic meters. As for tech products, I heard that some streamers have even won a mecha! Instant riches overnight!]
Lu Xuan immediately became interested when he saw the words 'mecha'.
Stop talking nonsense, host, quickly open it and see what's inside! Click to find out the answer!
Lu Xuan himself was also very curious about the contents of the gift pack, so he didn't keep them in suspense any longer and clicked to open it directly.
The next moment, he had two more things in his hands.
A small box and a plain silver ring.
Lu Xuan: "?"
Didn't they say there were three things?
The box probably contained nutrient solutions. He opened it and took a look; there were twenty bottles of original flavor nutrient solutions inside, worth two hundred points.
The ring was worn directly on my index finger, and the ring, which was originally a bit too big, automatically adjusted its size and fit perfectly on my finger.
He focused his attention and peered inside, quickly spotting the empty space inside the ring, which was about one hundred cubic meters in volume.
As mentioned before, the smallest size of the space ring/pendant in the mall is only five cubic meters, followed by ten cubic meters, fifty cubic meters, then one hundred cubic meters, and even larger sizes of five hundred and one thousand cubic meters.
He got a medium-sized one, so his luck wasn't bad.
But... the same question remains: where did the third reward go?
Surely it couldn't have been hacked by the system, could it?
At this moment, viewers in the live chat noticed something was wrong and reminded him.
[If there's no physical item, it's likely embedded software automatically installed in the live streaming system; however, this type of software is generally not very valuable.]
Looks like the streamer isn't very lucky.
Lu Xuan's brow twitched slightly. Automatically installed software?
He checked the backend again and found that in addition to the original icons, there was indeed a new icon. This must be the one from the new user gift pack.
Lu Xuan: "Weather Companion? What's that?"
Some viewers in the live stream also saw the icon.
[Same question, what is this?]
【Ugh... how did I end up with this? It's practically useless.】
I think I've heard of this thing before. Apparently, some senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences made it to kill time when he was extremely bored, but it ended up being left unused because it was really useless.
[Of course it's idle. Nowadays, even on the edge of the world, as long as they are habitable, they are protected from harmful rays and most ion storms in space by special energy shields. Daily weather changes are regulated by dedicated weather satellites, and the daily celestial phenomena can be seen by simply glancing at the records on the quantum computer. There is no need for this kind of weather detection software.]
Seeing this, Lu Xuan understood.
Isn't this just like a weather forecast? Software created by an interstellar civilization should be highly accurate, right?
Sure enough, someone soon explained the use of this thing.
Since most of the audience are laymen, no one can explain the specific principles behind the software. Simply put, Weather Companion uses a huge database loaded into the AI to analyze data such as the air composition and geological changes in the current location, and then predicts the climate changes in the user's area over a period of time.
The accuracy rate for weather changes within a year is 99%, and within three years it is 80%. The accuracy rate decreases slightly over time.
Leaving aside the three to five years, its weather forecast for the year is almost 100% accurate, making it a little magic tool.
For the ancients who relied on the weather for their livelihood, this was extremely useful. Whether it was ensuring farmers' harvests or predicting natural disasters and avoiding them in advance, it played a significant role.
A mediocre choice?
There is no such thing as useless software; it all depends on how people use it.
At least Lu Xuan was very satisfied with the newcomer gift pack rewards.
Although it can't compare to a mech, if he actually drew a mech, he would have to consider how to use it and what the results would be. In comparison, this weather system is actually much more practical.
What pleased him even more was that among the new products unlocked by the live stream duration achievement, there was finally storage space, and the prices of several different sizes of storage equipment were displayed.
Five cubic meters costs 500 points, ten cubic meters costs 1,000 points, fifty cubic meters costs 3,000 points, and one hundred square meters... it's not unlocked yet.
If I hadn't drawn it from the newbie gift pack, even if I could afford it with the gift points and achievement rewards I earned today, it would have been useless without the necessary permissions.
Since he already had what was currently the largest and best one, he didn't spend any more points to buy other smaller ones. Instead, he decided to try out the 'Weather Companion' feature, the interstellar version of the weather forecast.
Then he saw a blinding red.
Lu Xuan: "??"
Is there a bug?
Modern screens are all black or blue; did StarCraft switch to a red screen?
wrong.
Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly.
He didn't believe that an interstellar civilization capable of developing a cross-dimensional live streaming system would have a bug in software that should be considered very basic to them, and that red often represents a danger warning in modern times.
Someone in the live chat just mentioned this.
really!
Lu Xuan, with a grim face, swiped his finger to carefully examine the content under the red text. High temperatures, torrential rain, blizzards, storms... countless extreme weather events almost filled the entire screen.
