Gu Yumian counted again.
657 followers.
Other streamers might scoff at these numbers, but Gu Yumian was pleasantly surprised. He'd only been live streaming for less than an hour yesterday, wasn't even featured, and had only single-digit viewers by the end, yet he'd gained hundreds of followers overnight.
What is going on?
The little snow leopard had just finished lunch and lazily lay on Gu Yumian's shoulder. Gu Yumian was a little excited and said:
"Xuetuan, we're famous now. We have hundreds of fans."
Little Snow Leopard: “?”
It started as an empty account on StarNet, and now it has 20 billion followers. Is this something to be excited about?
The little snow leopard glanced at Yumian with a hint of disdain and yawned.
Gu Yumian held the little guy's paw pads and repeated the precautions, and the little snow leopard listened absent-mindedly.
A few minutes later, Gu Yumian let out a sigh and turned on the live broadcast.
He had adjusted the parameters in advance, so the live broadcast didn't immediately change to the little snow leopard's first-person perspective. As soon as the live broadcast started, more than a dozen viewers poured in one after another.
"Hello everyone, I'm the host, Gu Yumian," Gu Yumian said, holding the little snow leopard's paw and waving it at the camera. "This is Xuetuan, my family's little ancestor. Please give me your guidance in the future."
The monarch never appeared in his beast form. Aside from the old steward who had taken care of the monarch since childhood, no one in the entire galaxy, from close ministers to secretaries, had ever seen the monarch in beast form, let alone a juvenile form.
The little snow leopard glanced lazily at the camera without saying hello, and lay on Gu Yumian's shoulder with a bit of boredom. But even so, the handsome man and cute animal design still aroused the excitement of many viewers.
After Gu Yumian said hello, several viewers who were watching his live broadcast yesterday immediately sent comments.
South China tigers never go on blind dates: Wasn't that the little guy from yesterday? Is he an albino leopard? So pretty.
[Meow: I've already recommended Treasure Host to the whole world! What's going to be live today? Are you cooking something delicious?]
[Su Yue: +1]
[An ice cream: I was introduced to this by Miaowu. The host is so handsome!]
So that’s how it is, Gu Yumian thought, no wonder the number of fans has increased so much.
"Thank you," Gu Yumian thanked them sincerely, then smiled and said, "Today's live broadcast will be quite long and there's a lot of content. I've listed the project schedule next to it. Viewers who want to enjoy the food can come back in three hours."
Gu Yumian has done research and found that, in addition to talent and popularity, anchors also compete largely on the length of their live broadcasts. This is the inherent disadvantage of live broadcasts in the lifestyle zone. Singing, dancing, and gaming can be live broadcasted for a long time, but what about the lifestyle zone?
Grooming, feeding, and tasting food—these tasks take an hour or two at most. To fill the time slot, many streamers resort to awkward conversation with their viewers. Gu Yumian isn't good at awkward conversation, so he pondered for a long time and found a format that suited him.
【Su Yue: There is really a lot of content.】
[Meow: It doesn't matter. I'm at home on winter break anyway, so I'll be with the anchor for as long as I want!]
"It will switch to Xuetuan's first-person perspective in a moment—" Gu Yumian said.
The little snow leopard disliked the name and nudged Gu Yumian with his right paw, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. Gu Yumian held its paw and pressed the pad of its flesh, satisfied:
"Okay, let's not talk too much, let's get started."
The angle of the ultra-micro camera changed, and the screen went dark for a brief moment before switching to the little snow leopard's first-person perspective.
Just ten minutes after the broadcast began, the number of online viewers had risen to 102, and then remained at that number.
Yesterday, four people watched Gu Yumian's entire live broadcast. Among them, "South China Tigers Never Go on Blind Dates" happened to be a South China tiger with a very wide social circle named Linlin.
Lin Lin was born on Tak Star and had just graduated from college. Among the more than 600 fans that Gu Yumian had gained, at least 400 to 500 of them were attracted by him.
After watching the live broadcast, he immediately posted a long message on his Moments praising Gu Yumian, saying something like: Godly anchor, although he is a newcomer and a human, the content of his live broadcast is really interesting and the food he cooks is delicious.
Because he served as the student union president in college and studied media operations, Lin Lin has a very wide social circle, and many people responded and liked the post as soon as she posted it.
[Linlin, if you're kidnapped, just blink.]
[Huh? Humans?! Are humans even qualified to be anchors these days? Gone.]
I really can't stand humans. They say they stink and talk awfully.
[For the president's sake, I followed him.]
Among those who follow Gu Yumian, some are moved by what Lin Lin said and want to experience what it feels like to eat "divine food", but there are also many who are disdainful and want to find fault.
After all, no matter which group you are in, the majority hates discrimination against humans. Watching the live broadcast of humans, this matter sounds a bit ridiculous.
Those familiar with Lin Lin know that his family's old nanny happened to be human, so he naturally has a strong affinity for humans. This time, Lin Lin's praise of the human anchor "Gu Yumian" to the skies is questionable.
For example, Lin Lin’s cousin Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, a popular online blogger from a wealthy family, lived on the Capital Planet. He had recently been on Tak Planet to visit Lin Lin and take a vacation. Gu Yumian considered Tak Planet technologically advanced and prosperous, but to Lin Yun, who was used to living on the Capital Planet, Tak Planet was a complete rural area.
The levitation is slow, the transportation is underdeveloped, the food variety is limited - most importantly, the entertainment activities here are really too boring!
As an internet celebrity blogger, Lin Yun enjoys exploring all sorts of interesting things, and she also enjoys watching live streams. Capital Star's live streams are diverse and exciting, while Tak Star's live streams are considered "barren" by comparison.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't connect to the distant capital's star network on Tak, she would never have watched Tak's live broadcast. Even the most popular anchor on Tak, after watching it, Lin Yun felt that it was just so-so. What's more, Gu Yumian was just a human anchor with no popularity.
With a skeptical and disdainful attitude, when her cousin Lin Lin said that the anchor had started broadcasting, she clicked into his live broadcast room.
There are many people who have the same mentality as Lin Yun.
The vision went completely black, and the next second, they switched to the first-person perspective of the little snow leopard.
The little snow leopard was lying lazily on Gu Yumian's shoulder, with its right paw on Gu Yumian's neck.
The young man's skin was delicate, warm and clean, and almost immediately, the audience who shared the perspective with the little snow leopard could experience that feeling.
It was a spring afternoon, and the white gauze curtains blocked out the strong light, allowing only a faint glimpse of light to filter through. Gu Yumian had a faint scent of bamboo leaves and seawater. When you were next to him, it felt as if time slowed down by the second, and all you wanted was to roll in his arms and sleep.
The comments were silent for a moment, no one wanted to disrupt the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. After a long while, someone said:
【Meow: I feel strangely comfortable.】
[An Ice Cream: I know why Xuetuan is always so sleepy. Staying with this anchor, I don't want to do anything but lie in his arms and sleep!]
Gu Yumian watched the comments and found them amusing. Everyone could feel the slight vibration of his chest. The laughter was very soft, escaping from his throat a little, ringing right next to his ears, and it was so pleasant to hear.
Just as Gu Yumian promised yesterday, Little Snow Leopard doesn’t need to do anything for this live broadcast.
——The content of his live broadcast is "taking care of the little baby at home." This happens to be what he is good at, and this way, he can take care of the little snow leopard and live broadcast at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
"Tuan Tuan, come here," Gu Yumian took the little snow leopard off his shoulders and held it in his arms, "I'll give you a massage."
He will give the little snow leopard a bath and help it relax first.
Gu Yumian controlled the pressure very well, first gently pressing on the chin, then slowly moving it to the back. The little snow leopard was very satisfied with the human's service, its gray-blue eyes narrowed, and its long tail circled Gu Yumian's wrist.
The audience could feel that those slender hands seemed to have ignited a warm and harmless flame, immersing every limb in a relaxing rhythm.
Gu Yumian defined massage as an 'appetizer', but unexpectedly, the response from the barrage exceeded his imagination.
[Twilight Goat: What's going on? I'm so comfortable I'm falling asleep! !]
【Blush: +1.】
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: Holy crap! ! ! ! !]
“…”
[Youyunduo: You're exaggerating.]
This 'cloud' was Lin Yun. She admitted that she had been distracted for a few seconds. This human seemed quite special. She had no ill feelings towards him and even wanted to get close to him, especially later on. He really had some skills.
But she soon came to her senses. It was not bad, but it was not as exaggerated as the barrage of comments said.
Besides, other humans are disgusting, so why is this anchor so likable? She is a materialist and doesn't believe in those fantasy things.
You Yun Duo: Aren't some people exaggerating? If someone can be praised as a god-level streamer, what will happen to other streamers who are serious about live streaming?
As soon as this statement was made, others immediately echoed it. Among the over one hundred spectators, many had been looking for trouble with the word "human," and now they had finally found their opportunity.
[There's a Deer in the Forest: +1. I also don't think it's good enough.]
[I like combing hair: The host should have some skills, but how can he blow it so magically?]
[Floral Water: Just this massage technique, what's the point of bragging? Any streamer in the Capital Star Living Area would beat him by a mile, okay? I'm being blunt, inferior races are not qualified to be live streamers, get lost.]
The racist comments made by the user were quickly detected and banned, disrupting the previously harmonious atmosphere of the comments. Viewers who liked Gu Yumian were immediately displeased.
[Su Yue: The Qing Dynasty is dead, but why is racial discrimination still alive? So what if they're human streamers? I just like them, what's your business?]
[Meow: You think the Capital Planet is so great? Then please go back to your Capital Planet. Our small temple on Tak Planet can't accommodate you big Buddhas.]
The sense of crisis grew, and the "relaxed, comfortable" atmosphere that Gu Yumian had worked so hard to create was instantly destroyed. Many viewers had originally come in to relax and have fun, but seeing the terrible atmosphere that was about to start a fight, they began to wonder whether they should leave.
The situation is somewhat urgent.
The little snow leopard broke free from Gu Yumian's arms and watched the barrage of comments flying past.
It was the expression of a monarch when he's impatient and bored with something, apathy tinged with irony, and surprisingly, it didn't seem out of place on such a small snow leopard. The temperature inside suddenly dropped two degrees, and a layer of frost formed on the French windows, spreading all around.
Lin Yun had said that impulsively, and as the comments became more and more aggressive, she began to feel regret and guilt. Just as she was thinking about how to make amends, she heard Gu Yumian smile:
"Humans are not an inferior race."
Everyone thought he was going to say something to refute those people. Gu Yumian rubbed the snow leopard's head, first calming the little guy down, and then added the second half of the sentence:
"I'm 1.80 meters tall, quite tall."
Because there are all kinds of races, including small animals, and the average height of the interstellar is only 1.5 meters, Gu Yumian, who is 1.8 meters tall, is indeed not "inferior".
Everyone: “…”
【Meow: Pfft, yes, yes, you are the tallest.】
South China tigers never go on blind dates: How is 1.8 meters tall? This 1.9 meter tall man honestly refuses to accept the name.
[An ice cream: Really? I'm 2.8 meters tall, do you know what a giraffe is?!]
Gu Yumian: "Sister, the giraffe broke the rules."
This kind of hilarious plot was met with a flurry of "hahahaha" comments. Many people also started sharing their own heights and telling height-related jokes, which immediately changed the topic and softened the tension.
Many people actually just followed the crowd and started arguing. But after calming down and thinking about it, Gu Yumian's massage was actually very comfortable. Furthermore, coupled with Gu Yumian's unique temperament, even if they did nothing, just being around him could make people relax and feel comfortable.
Besides, I want to exit the live broadcast room but I can’t bear to do so, so I might as well continue watching.
Gu Yumian had easily dealt with a rather sensitive topic. Lin Yun had to admit that Gu Yumian's ability to control the situation and respond to changes was very strong.
The little snow leopard observed the barrage for a while before lazily nestling back into Fu Yumian's arms. The frost on the French windows dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, some viewers are still skeptical.
[There's a Deer in the Forest: If the host only knows this, it's not good enough.]
Gu Yumian saw this comment and just smiled.
"Then let's continue," Gu Yumian picked up the little snow leopard and said, "Let's give Xuetuan a bath."
Snow leopards in the wild don't need baths, and even domestic cats don't need frequent baths. But Gu Yumian had researched the data and found that animals in the interstellar era all have the habit of bathing, though the frequency and method vary slightly.
After the sudden incident just now, Lin Yun had a good impression of Gu Yumian, but when he heard that he was planning to give the little snow leopard a bath, he became suspicious again.
—Felines naturally don't like bathing, no matter how sophisticated the techniques and facilities are, they just don't like it. Lin Yun thought this little anchor might be in trouble again.
Gu Yumian carried the little snow leopard into the cleaned bathroom. The bathroom was originally a damp and dark environment, but Gu Yumian transformed it into a different look:
The warm yellow light is cozy, without too much moisture. The floor is covered with a cartoon-patterned anti-slip carpet, and the translucent frosted glass does not feel too dark or cramped, but appears bright instead.
Lin Yun had originally thought that Gu Yumian would be like other streamers, filling a bathtub or tub with water, a popular "soak" method. This was the most popular and common bathing method among lifestyle streamers, but Lin Yun didn't find it comfortable at all.
But Gu Yumian didn't do that.
"Many cats don't like water," Gu Yumian said as he sat on a small stool and let the little snow leopard step gently on the soft non-slip mat. "You can try changing to a bright environment. Don't use a bathtub. Just rinse with warm water."
Many animals will feel scared when suddenly entering a small and humid environment, which is why bathtubs are not suitable.
Gu Yumian adjusted the water temperature to be slightly higher than that when people take a bath. The average body temperature of snow leopard cubs is around 38 degrees, which is a suitable temperature for them.
"What would you like to eat later?" Gu Yumian scratched the little snow leopard behind the ear. "We had fried lamb chops yesterday. Want something else?"
The little snow leopard put one claw on Gu Yumian's knee and pushed Gu Yumian to sit cross-legged on the ground. It found a place in Gu Yumian's arms and was satisfied.
The livestream was from the perspective of the little snow leopard, giving viewers a strong sense of immersion. With the previous foreshadowing, many people were completely relaxed, as the burden and fear raised by the "bath" incident were completely diluted by the relaxed atmosphere created by Gu Yumian.
In addition, Gu Yumian did not mention anything serious, but talked about dinner, which made people look forward to everything that would happen next.
Then, water of just the right temperature falls on the skin.
The feeling of wet fur does not make people feel uncomfortable. The young man's hands are gently washed by the water. There is a unique smell of warm water in the air, mixed with a little bit of sea salt. The hearing, smell and feeling reach the most comfortable state at the same time, making people squint their eyes.
It was as if I was instantly back to my childhood and ignorance, taking a nap by a stream or river, letting the sun-warmed water flow over my skin, carrying away all the dirt and flowing into the sea.
Gu Yumian saw various bath gels for cats and babies in the store yesterday. He took them back and analyzed the ingredients, but he didn't think they were very good, so he started to mix them himself.
He knew what smell and touch made the little snow leopard feel most comfortable, so he bought some ingredients on the Star Internet and made a small bottle of bath gel.
It seems that the effect is good now.
The little snow leopard narrowed its eyes and unconsciously tilted its head to rub his palm.
"After the bath," Gu Yumian whispered to it while washing, "let's bask in the sun, comb its fur, and then have something delicious. I made some jasmine tea, and I'll give you some later."
Listening to Gu Yumian's clear, gentle voice, many people suddenly conjured up a variety of images, images of home. There were chilled watermelons on summer afternoons, warming up by the fire in winter, and basking in the sun when feeling sleepy in spring and autumn...
My whole body was surrounded by warm water, the temperature seemed to flow into my blood vessels, and all my pores were sighing.
The water flowed without passing through the ears, mouth, or nose. The force was just right, neither weak nor painful. Gu Yumian's movements were slow, and he never seemed to rush. This made people trust him, rely on him, and want to be closer to him.
The comments were silent for a long time, everyone was concentrating on the experience, feeling that missing a second was a loss. It was not until the end that the comments gradually increased.
【Meow: Absolutely amazing...】
[South China Tigers Never Go on Blind Dates: It would be great if I had a brother or younger brother like the anchor. I miss home QAQ]
Su Yue: Really, really, it's really good!! The scent of this shower gel is very light yet pleasant. The host's bathing technique is also very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is also very comfortable!! Ahhhhh, I don't know what to say, it's just so comfortable!
[An ice cream: a divine anchor!]
[Youyunduo: Well, I have to admit, the anchor is quite talented.]
Even Lin Yun, who was watching with a critical mindset, couldn't say anything bad at this point. She admitted that even after watching so many live broadcasts, there had never been one like Gu Yumian's.
Wash away all the fatigue and tiredness in your body, let you relax completely and enter a simple and warm rhythm of life.
One gift after another exploded on the screen. Everyone had originally just been watching the live broadcast with a try-it attitude, but they never expected to receive so many surprises. Several viewers even clicked "Give All" on the gifts.
Youyunduo also gave away the most expensive gift, "fireworks." After the dramatic special effects, a raffle was immediately launched across all platforms. Countless people flocked to the livestream to participate in the raffle, and then, captivated by the content, stayed.
Gu Yumian didn't like to be distracted when he was concentrating on one thing. He carefully gave the little snow leopard a bath, wiped it clean with a warm towel, and said, "Okay, let's go bask in the sun and comb its fur, okay?"
The barrage of comments began to fill with "Okay" and "All's up to you."
Gu Yumian: “……?!”
Wait, aren't there only a hundred viewers? Why are there thousands of comments?
Now the lottery event triggered by the gift "fireworks" has ended, but the number of live broadcasts continues to soar!
