Chapter 48 Meow Meow
"Light in the Dark River" has been open for challenge for two days.
In the past two days, some popular and highly anticipated anchors were unexpectedly eliminated due to fouls, and some newcomers who won interesting golden fingers emerged.
Most of the anchors are diligently working on the original plot, especially starting from helping Yu Ming regain his expectations for life.
For example, the big anchor next door, the female doctor Li Yue, used hypnosis to gradually help Yu Ming accept the fact that he could live a good life and realize his dreams even if he differentiated into an Omega, and she used various prescriptions to help Yu Ming replenish the missing qi and blood in his body.
Of course, there are also hosts who try to attack Fu Changfeng from the perspective of the protagonist.
The anchor who was unexpectedly eliminated due to foul drew the golden finger of 'teaching and educating people'. The anchor found Fu Changfeng on the first day and tried to educate him to be kind-hearted. He said that Yu Ming, who was like a brother to him, had no future. There are many better flowers in the world, so why should you be greedy for one flower?
Even if you really want to like Yu Ming, you should pursue him openly instead of doing shady things behind his back.
...The protagonist Fu Changfeng listened to these words carefully, then smiled very gently and asked calmly:
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not from this world, right?"
Then, the anchor just shut up.
——Yes, it just clicked.
This happened because the anchor committed a foul. As a high-difficulty world, Dark River Light is different from medium- and low-difficulty worlds such as Paranoia Monopoly:
In the world of "Dark River Light", if the host has some unreasonable behavior, making the main characters realize that they are book travelers, they will directly violate the instant death rule and the challenge will fail.
Although death in the book-traveling plane will not lead to the host's actual death, it will only cause his challenge to be interrupted and he will be teleported back to the plane of all worlds in advance. But the experience of death was real. I heard that the anchor is still receiving psychiatric treatment.
The spectators at the time were also terrified.
Because the protagonist Fu Changfeng has a very twisted personality. He looks gentle and cheerful on the outside, but he is actually cautious to the point of paranoia on the inside. Many times, even the audience and the official Wanjie Live broadcaster did not notice anything unusual in the host's behavior, but Fu Changfeng was always able to magically recognize the book-traveling person and end the challenge.
This is one of the reasons why "Light in the Dark River" is so difficult.
The consequences of trying to attack Fu Changfeng in advance are obvious, so many anchors changed their route and started with Yu Ming first. For example, he transferred to the No. 1 Middle School in the city and became Yu Ming's classmate, or pretended to be a friend of Yu Ming's deceased parents to unfold the plot...
It is very difficult to conquer Fu Changfeng, but it is not easy to conquer Yu Ming either.
——After all, Yu Ming, who was born as an orphan, is highly alert to everything. Many people say that he is a "little wolf cub", which is absolutely true. Yu Ming is naturally extremely defensive about everything. He is kind and willing to help others, but he never trusts others easily or gives his heart to them.
Therefore, few anchors can successfully approach him and enter his heart.
Even Liyue, the female doctor who was almost conquered by Yu Ming, was still just a "strange stranger" in Yu Ming's eyes. Even the Chinese medicine that Liyue handed to Yu Ming was secretly taken by Yu Ming to water the flowers.
But no matter what, most anchors are using their golden fingers to make various attempts to modify the plot.
Except for the new anchor named 'Jian Yunlan'.
He set up the stall seriously for two days.
So the audience watched him set up the stall attentively for two days.
However, because he taught a group of dog thieves a lesson when he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, his level of plot solving is still in the top three of the rankings.
audience:"…………"
So weird, take another look.
Not only were the viewers captivated by the delicious food in the live broadcast room for two whole days, but because they were always tempted by the delicious food when watching the live broadcast, many viewers placed orders for various snacks officially pushed by the Wanjie platform, and the Wanjie platform made a lot of money from them.
[Are there any friends in the "Paranoia Monopoly" plane who have tasted Boss Jian's craftsmanship? Please tell me, does this snack really taste like Boss Jian's? (Weak)]
[This snack is not bad, but it is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Boss Jian’s, haha:)))]
[@万界官方, don't hide behind and keep silent. I know you are watching. When can you send Boss Jian back to "Paranoia Monopoly"? User [Ning Sheng] gave anchor [Jian Yunlan] a gift of Romantic Carnival x1】
[Stick to my Ningbao quietly, our cool and beautiful top student is also very oppressive when she goes crazy~]
[Ning Sheng, stop it...]
…
[I watched this video from 'The Three Years Have Arrived'. Who is the handsome male protagonist in the video? Where is the heroine? 】
Looking at these strange comments, Xiao Liang couldn't help but type and ask.
Xiao Liang is a professional agent in Wanjie Plane. He is mainly responsible for signing new anchors, as well as the marketing and promotion of new anchors. Their company, 'Wai Zui Long Wang Entertainment', is a well-known entertainment company in the myriad worlds. They are mainly responsible for the direction of transmigrating into books, which is Dian Jia Wen.
Including Xiao Liang himself, he has trained generation after generation of famous male protagonists in Dianjiawen, such as the Dragon King, the God of War, the Special Forces King, the School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard, the Son-in-law, and all kinds of branches.
One day, when she was searching for new signing targets, a popular video on a website caught her eye.
The title of the video is: [The three-year period has expired! 】
At this time, this video has been played tens of millions of times, and is the top 1 popular video of the day on the video website. It even has millions of comments, filled with all kinds of screams.
The keen sense of smell from a senior practitioner made Xiao Liang click on the video with great interest.
When she saw this, she was shocked.
——"Good, so handsome!"
The background of the video seems to be in a vegetable market. Surrounded by several muscular men with ferocious faces, a young man puts one hand in his pocket and casually clamps the hand of a muscular man.
It's like entering a deserted place.
His elegance and laziness formed a sharp contrast with the bizarre monsters around him.
Under the suppression of the almost terrifying absolute power, ghosts and gods dare not invade.
The wind gently blew the corner of his shirt, and the sunlight shone from the side, illuminating his dark blue eyes, his eyelashes were thick and affectionate.
It makes people's heart beat fast.
Xiao Liang: “Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”
With the super passionate BGM, although the whole video is only a few tens of seconds long, the effect achieved is simply killer.
Especially at the end of the video, after the screen turned black, a line of words appeared:
[In order to protect a precious existence that cannot be touched by others...]
[He took action.] 】
“……!!!”
sky.
What's this!
This is the domineering male protagonist of the Dian family, who is willing to risk his life for the beauty he loves!
The video ended, but comments were still pouring out like crazy:
[This is so cool! I want the address of this anchor within a second! 】【Haven’t you heard that Dian Jiawen has such a brilliant new anchor recently? Please send me the live broadcast room number so I can appreciate it】【I will directly say hey husband】【Let me see who is the heroine who is saved by the hero, I am so envious and jealous, I want to do it too】
Not to mention ordinary audiences, even Xiao Liang, an industry insider, was excited after watching the video!
"The three-year period has come. I have to play the pig and eat the tiger. I have to challenge and kill the strong in an instant. I have to be a hero and save the beauty." Xiao Liang's eyes lit up. "All the elements are complete. All the elements are very complete!"
Moreover, unlike most of the male anchors who signed contracts with Xiao Liang, the young man in this video is not only strong in ability, but also has an outstanding appearance, which is simply the ceiling level.
He has both the domineering aura of the male variety and the affectionate tenderness of the female variety.
With so many buffs stacked on him, this anchor is invincible.
'The precious existence that cannot be touched by others' must be referring to the heroine. Such an affectionate and protective hero is so popular no matter in family novels or female-oriented novels!
Xiao Liang couldn't wait to know more.
She made up her mind, and once she contacted the anchor, she would make the decision on behalf of the company and sign the contract on the spot!
It would be bad if such a good seedling was snatched away by competitors.
Like many other viewers, Xiao Liang happily clicked into the live broadcast room following the address left in the comment section, and then...
Wait, why is this a section for BL melodramatic fiction?
It’s okay to have a section dedicated to melodramatic writing.
Teacher, where is our handsome and domineering male protagonist of the Dian family?
Teacher, who is the spicy hot pot owner who is happily setting up a stall on a tricycle in the picture? Did he possess the soul of our Dian Family male protagonist?
Teacher, please say something!
Xiao Liang had a bad feeling. She typed tremblingly: [Excuse me, what does the ‘precious existence that cannot be touched by others’ in the video ‘The three-year period has expired’ mean? 】
The barrage is obviously already familiar with this problem.
Someone sent me a photo: [[Picture]]
Xiao Liang tremblingly clicked on the picture:
A jar of tahini.
A jar of smooth and oily sesame paste that looks like high quality.
Xiao Liang: “…”
After three seconds of silence.
Xiao Liang suddenly looked up to the sky with relief and laughed: "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
What a crazy anchor, he seems like he is sick.
——It’s just right for a crazy audience like her.
I’m a fan!
.
"Lights in the Dark River" plane, Lotus Pond Community.
After finishing the stall, Jian Yunlan happily rode his tricycle towards the Jian family villa.
Taotie and Hu Danggui sat on the back seat of the tricycle. Taotie was giving Hu Danggui some "new employee" training. His golden eyes were squinting nonchalantly as he said something in all seriousness:
"You need to learn how to write reports using Ward documents, and the deadline is five working days..."
The little fox listened in confusion, his brain seemed to have been pulled out and tied into a knot.
Another story of a dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself!
Jian Yunlan: “.”
It has nothing to do with him.
The evening breeze is very gentle. It is the time when autumn is just around the corner. The wind blows lightly past your ears, making you feel very comfortable.
Jian Yunlan likes this kind of life very much. She sets up the stall at a certain time every day, accompanied by two or three relatives and friends. Every day is busy but lively day after day.
This is the ultimate pursuit of his life!
It would be nice if I could keep setting up the stall like this...
Jian Yunlan is very satisfied with her current life.
However, this satisfaction did not last long.
A screen of light suddenly unfolded in front of him:
[The "Dark River Light" plane mandatory mission is loading...]
【Loading successful!】 】
[Mandatory task: Arrive at Liujin KTV within half an hour and attend the birthday party hosted by your rich second-generation friends. At the party, you need to play the role of a spoiled, willful, overbearing and powerful young master of the richest man, and let Yu Ming, a waiter working in the Liujin KTV, take the initiative to feed you grapes. 】
[Please note that if the main mission fails, the challenger will be eliminated on the spot! 】
【Countdown 3:00:00】
Jian Yunlan: "..."
The next second, his eyes went dark.
Another light.
When he reacted again, the tricycle, Taotie and Hu Danggui were nowhere to be found, and Jian Yunlan was already sitting in the Maybach luxury car. The soft leather seat supported Jian Yunlan's entire back.
The driver, Xiao Li, said with a smile while driving, "Young Master, it has been a long time since you have met with Young Master Wang and Young Master Zheng! They have put a lot of thought into organizing a unique birthday party for you this time."
Jian Yunlan: "My birthday is not today."
To be precise, since he is an orphan, he does not have an exact birthday.
Xiao Li: "Master, what are you talking about? Oh, you even forgot your birthday. You are such a fool.
"Have you forgotten that on September 20th, 25 years ago, the young master was born with great anticipation. Madam and Master were both extremely excited..."
Jian Yunlan: “.”
The appraisal was completed and Xiao Li was talking nonsense.
Xiao Li was normal until this morning. Before sending Jian Yunlan out, Xiao Li was still chatting with Jian Yunlan about the fried dough sticks he had eaten for breakfast today. Now Xiao Li suddenly seemed to have turned into an NPC in a novel.
No matter what you ask him, Xiao Li will just repeat the same few sentences over and over again.
The same situation happened not only to Jian Yunlan.
All the anchors in the "Light in the Dark River" section were instantly pulled into the "main mission" at the same time.
Before this, some people were riding bicycles outside like Jian Yunlan, some were interacting and talking with the characters in the book, and some were even having diarrhea in the toilet due to an upset stomach.
...But no matter what they were doing in the previous second, at this second, they were all pulled into the Maybach driving towards the gilded KTV.
This is the main quest that is exclusive to a difficult and melodramatic novel like "The Light in the Dark River", in which all anchors are forced to participate!
——In the Wanjie live broadcast room, the special area of "The Light in the Dark River" has also changed. The original plot is in the middle, and surrounding the big screen are the small screens of each anchor. At the top is a countdown, showing "3:00:00".
Three hours, this is the time limit for this mandatory main quest.
With the launch of the main quest, the traffic of the entire "Light in the Dark River" zone suddenly skyrocketed. The overall number of viewers actually doubled, and new viewers are still pouring in.
[Ahhh, it’s finally here!] 】
[This year's main quest is so exciting hahaha, that little wolf cub Yu Ming actually has to feed grapes to the challenger himself...]
[In every BL melodrama, there is always a poor little white flower protagonist who is forced to work in clubs and KTVs = 333]
[Little white flower?] Yu Ming? Are you sure? ? ? ? 】
[Those anchors who have not managed to gain Yu Ming's favor are in trouble =o= Jian Yunlan, who is now ranked first on the cracking list, seems to have never even met Yu Ming. How should he complete this task? We won’t be eliminated unexpectedly, right? ? ! 】
[(Thinking) I remember that last year's mission seemed to be to be locked in a closed space with Fu Changfeng and survive for 1 hour. It's hard to say which one is more perverted, last year's or this year's]
[In order to attract traffic, Wanjie Live Room is becoming more and more bold (.]
Yes, unlike the medium-difficulty and high-freedom plane like "Paranoia Monopoly", a copy of the level of "Dark River Light" has not been explored for nearly a hundred years. In order to prevent the audience from getting tired of watching the same content, different mandatory tasks will be refreshed in each challenge.
The anchor who fails to complete the task within the limited time will be eliminated directly!
Every year when the "Light in the Dark River" challenge is opened, the mandatory tasks are the most exciting part that attracts the largest number of viewers. Many viewers who are not interested in "Light in the Dark River" itself will come specifically to watch the mandatory tasks.
Because every year many hosts who were originally in good momentum are unexpectedly eliminated, and new dark horses emerge.
More importantly...
[All anchors are placed on the same timeline and the same environment. The comparison is super intuitive! Originally everyone was free to explore along different routes, but suddenly it was as if they were stuffed into an arena.]
[This is the excitement of the mandatory mission, hehehehe]
Many of the anchor’s fans were very excited:
The treasure anchor they like can finally enter the public eye, and his magical performance can be seen by everyone!
But Jian Yunlan's fans became worried.
After all, Jian Yunlan is famous for ignoring the plot, and has never met Yu Ming. How can he compare with those anchors who have been trying to improve Yu Ming's favorability since entering the plane?
Everyone was really worried that he would not be able to complete this mandatory task and be eliminated on the spot...
At the Wanjie Live headquarters, Gong Siyuan and his subordinates are also closely following the movements of all anchors.
——Among them, Jian Yunlan’s live broadcast room was projected into a large screen for easy observation.
This kind of treatment is not available to most anchors.
The employees were discussing:
"Is the task too difficult? What if Jian Yunlan really fails to complete it and is eliminated?"
"That means his level is just like that."
"I don't think so. Boss Jian has always played against the odds, so he should be able to survive this time. But..."
"This mandatory mission will definitely pull Boss Jian out of his comfort zone!"
"Yeah, with such a tight timetable and mandatory mission, he definitely won't be able to continue to run his snack stand as he pleases."
There have been two melodramatic articles already. Other anchors have all kinds of new tricks, but Jian Yunlan always stands still like a mountain and sets up stalls, sets up stalls, and sets up stalls.
They just couldn't believe that Boss Jian, a street stall fanatic, could set up a stall in such a difficult mandatory mission!
…
Gilded KTV entrance.
Jian Yunlan got out of the car reluctantly.
It’s annoying. Really annoying.
He is just a snack stall owner who loves to set up a stall. Why should he be forced to follow the plot?
At this moment, Jian Yunlan silently gave a bad review to the Book-Crossing Challenge in his heart and decided:
He wanted to find such a world, a world full of diners. In that world, he didn't need to follow any plot, he just needed to concentrate on setting up a stall and cooking for everyone...
Disgusted by the plot, Jian Yunlan walked into the exclusive box of the Gilded KTV with a sour face.
As soon as you enter the door, the noisy sound is deafening and the huge crystal ball casts colorful light.
Inside the box, demons were dancing wildly.
The man holding the microphone was a man with dyed yellow hair. When Jian Yunlan came in, he immediately came up to her and put his arm around her shoulder, and said into the microphone:
"Hey, the birthday boy is here, let's have some fun!"
Several other similar rich second-generations immediately gathered around Jian Yunlan, chattering and joking with a smile:
"Brother Jian has been so hard to invite lately. We've gathered together several times, but I couldn't invite you. What are you busy with?"
"Family business? Went abroad? Or was he seduced by some little lover?"
"The birthday boy requested a song. What song should he sing?"
…
In the corner of the box, a young man dressed in waiter's clothes stood silently.
He stood very straight with his back as straight as a soldier, which made him look a little out of place among the waiters.
Everyone who works here knows that any little money that slips through the fingers of a young master like this would be enough for them to eat, drink and have fun for a long time.
Therefore, when the heavyweight figure of Master Jian came in, many waiters immediately came up to him, smiled, helped Jian Yunlan put away his clothes, served tea and water, and surrounded him:
"Master Jian, do you smoke?" "We have good wine here. What does Master Jian usually drink? Would you like to try some tequila?" "Come here, Master Jian, let me help you put on your coat!"
In the colorful lights of the KTV, only the young man stood in the corner with his hands behind his back, quietly and motionlessly.
It was like being punished.
His skin color was slightly dark, but his eyebrows were delicate, and his dark eyes showed a bit of rebellion.
Looks a bit arrogant.
"I don't know what that boy is so proud of. Does he look down on our Young Master Jian?"
The yellow-haired Master Zheng also noticed the misfit and felt a little unhappy.
He was just about to wave his hand to call the manager and drive away the guy who ruined his mood.
At this time, Jian Yunlan, who had been silent since entering the door, suddenly spoke:
"I want to order some songs."
Huang Mao's attention immediately returned to Jian Yunlan, and he said with a smile, "What is Brother Jian going to sing?"
Many of these second-generation rich people have been abroad, and when they go to KTV, they will never order those hit songs on certain music platforms, but must order high-end songs.
Things like punk rock, rap, heavy metal, minor languages, and unpopular folk songs. The more classy the better.
Huangmao scratched his head and said excitedly, "I remember that the rock band that Jian likes to sing the most is that awesome rock band. Do you want to play a Black Sabbath song for Jian—"
Jian Yunlan sat down on the sofa with a cold face and said, "Order me a song called "The Most Dazzling National Style."
The second generation of rich people: "..."
There was sudden silence in the KTV.
Only the accompaniment of the song was left playing awkwardly.
"Listen, listen to the birthday boy." The yellow-haired man's mouth twitched, and he said to the waiter awkwardly, "Go and order something quickly, what are you standing there for!"
The waiters in the box were all stunned.
Only the waiter standing in the corner reacted the fastest. He walked silently to the screen with his long legs and helped Jian Yunlan choose the song: "It's ready."
His voice was very soft, the kind of hoarse voice that comes from a teenager who has just changed his voice, and he spoke every word seriously.
Only then did Jian Yunlan nod with reluctant satisfaction.
A familiar prelude sounded.
Jian Yunlan took the microphone with dignity and cleared her throat confidently. The lark spoke: "The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the green mountains~"
Waiters: “…”
The second generation of rich people: “…………”
In such a high-end and expensive KTV box, where even the interior decoration style is cyberpunk and post-modern, such down-to-earth music was played.
There is also Jian Yunlan's very "perfect" and "full-tone" singing voice.
Huangmao tried hard to control his inner collapse and wanted to say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed from his lips.
Huangmao: “…”
This, this is a mental attack!
Among all the silent people, there was one person who quietly picked up the maracas and beat the rhythm to the cheerful beat.
What, there are people who are not affected by this mental attack?
So terrifying!
Everyone looked in that direction with admiration.
——It turned out to be the waiter in that corner!
After helping to order songs, he stood back in the corner.
But at this moment, he held two in his hands, shaking them left and right with an expressionless face, carefully keeping up with the rhythm.
Support.jpg
The other waiters immediately started to get annoyed:
Good job, kid. You were pretending to be noble before, but now you don’t pretend anymore. You are just paving the way for this moment, right?
Tip Assassin!
With support from others and recognition of her voice, Jian Yunlan sang more vigorously: "What kind of rhythm is the most~ and the most swinging~"
For a snack stand owner, the song "The Most Exciting National Style" is very special.
This song and the aunties dancing in the square accompanied Jian Yunlan through day and night of eating spicy hot pot. He would like to call it the snack stand's divine song.
Classic, never out of date!
Jian Yunlan sang with great passion, shaking her head, singing inflections, soaring high notes, switching between true and false voices, playing two roles at once...
He didn't care about the life or death of his audience at all.
Jian Yunlan: "The fiery ballad is what we look forward to."
The rich second generations looked pale and vomited blood.
The waiter waved his maracas in silence.
Not only in the KTV, but even the audience in the live broadcast room of another dimension across the light screen were affected by this wave of mental attack that spanned time and space.
[Is this the mysterious power from China...]
[Boss Jian, you are still suitable for setting up a stall. Don’t be so desperate as to develop into a singing star! ! ! (Vomiting blood)(Spouting blood)(Died from excessive blood loss)]
[What a beautiful voice, it makes my brain spin wildly]
