Chapter 71 Meow meow meow
At that moment, the number of people in Jian Yunlan's live broadcast room doubled to 500,000.
This number is still rising rapidly.
...Unlike the last time I cleared the level, this time it was exactly the end of the working hours for the Ten Thousand Worlds.
During the evening rush hour, many people were bored and turned on their screens to check the news. They saw this piece of news that had just been released and quickly became a hot topic:
[After a hundred years, the pseudo-orthopedic melodrama "The Light in the Dark River" has finally been conquered! 】
Many people couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Wu Moli is the CEO of a certain group. She is 187 years old this year. In the universe where the average life expectancy is 400 years, she is an absolute middle-aged person.
On her way home from get off work, sitting on her private hovercraft, she saw this message and almost thought she was seeing things.
"'The Light in the Dark River'... is that the 'The Light in the Dark River' I was thinking of?! Fu Changfeng and Yu Ming?!"
This book was one of her favorite books in her teenage years. At that time, she had not yet experienced the baptism of society and working, and her greatest pleasure every day was to go home after school and stay in a small room with her bestie to catch up on the updates of "The Light in the Dark River".
They shed tears for the protagonist's experience in the book and felt sorry for the sad ending.
Even though she looks back now and finds that many of the plots in the book are not very reasonable and are somewhat pretentious and childish, she was truly moved by the words and vivid characters in the book.
Later, she also followed the "Light in the Dark River" book-traveling challenge for several years, hoping that someone could change the fate of the protagonist in the book.
But as work became busier, with the pressure of career advancement, family matters, and the birth of her daughter...unknowingly, she hadn't opened the "Wanjie Live" software for decades.
Even the software was automatically uninstalled because it had not been opened for a long time.
"Has anyone really made a plan? Is this fake news?"
With excitement and trepidation, Wu Moli downloaded Wanjie Live again and clicked on the live broadcast room number mentioned in the news.
There are many people like her.
...Viewers from the entire Ten Thousand Worlds, and even from many other planes in the small world, flooded into Jian Yunlan's live broadcast room like a tide.
【……ha? ? ? ? 】
[Who has completed the game?] Is it Liyue? I remember I almost cleared Liyue last time.]
[It’s really not Liyue]
[I have an impression of the name Jian Yunlan! He also cleared "Paranoia Monopoly" last time. This guy should not be underestimated...]
[Simple, blue sky and white clouds, we walk together all the way!] The handsome anchor is on the (love) line (love) walking the (love) plot (love), full of passion and tension, just pay attention and you won’t get lost! 】
[New to this show. "Lights in the Dark River" has been my obsession for decades. I'm so happy that it was approved. The host looks young and handsome. I'm following it.]
[I mean, did our Fengming couple really have a sweet happy ending? I’m so excited la la la la(^^*) His name is Lanlan, right? Come on, Lanlan, the aunties will always support you! Wamen Lanlan is really a kind-hearted kid.
[In order to watch the happy ending of "Light in Dark River", I downloaded the software specially. There are so many people. Are you a danmei wolf? 】
[…What’s wrong with the way you talk?]
[Tianyi, Tianyi 3G is so fast? 】
[Hate it, I’m going to fly you guys~~~~]
Yes.
As a melodramatic story with a history of nearly a hundred years, many viewers who returned to the live broadcast room after hearing that "The Light in the Dark River" had been conquered found the style of the story to be a bit... old-fashioned.
The way they speak seems to be stuck in the past seventy or eighty years ago, like the first batch of fan girls who started reading melodramatic novels. They even called themselves "Lunjia" and "Oumen" and typed very slowly. Although there were a lot of people, it took a long time for a comment to pass by.
What's more, the number of viewers increased rapidly in silence...
And the gifts that are about to drown out the barrage!
The girls who once squeezed into a small single bed in the dormitory to read melodramatic novels, after working hard in society for decades, many of them have already saved some money and are at the top of their respective industries, so they are really not short of money.
"The Light in the Dark River" had a happy ending, which fulfilled one of their long-cherished wishes in their girlhood. In order to express their gratitude, many people threw gifts at them without hesitation, even overshadowing the big guys in the "Paranoia" dimension who continued to spend money.
[User [Good Luck Lianlian] presented the anchor [Jian Yunlan] with a 10,000-yuan lantern] [User [Moli] presented the anchor [Jian Yunlan] with a 50,000-yuan lantern] [User [Baozijiang] presented the anchor [Jian Yunlan] with a 100,000-yuan lantern]…
The most common gift they give is the "enlightening lamp".
This is the light that the protagonists of "The Light in the Dark River" have finally waited for for a long time.
A single lantern was not expensive, but the aunties gave away hundreds of millions of dollars. The lanterns were soon connected into a whole, and a dazzling sea of stars fireworks were set off on the screen for a long time...
Of course, they are not the only newcomers.
In addition to these last century fan girls who were attracted back to the game by the news of the completion of "Light in Dark River", there were also many ordinary viewers who, under the bombardment of such explosive news, could not help but click into the live broadcast room.
After so many years of development, the audience of the melodramatic book-traveling challenge is no longer just BL readers.
Some of them are readers of male-oriented novels, some are fans of major anchors, and some are readers of other melodramatic novels. Everyone clicked in for no other reason than to see who is the person who completed the "Dark River Light" plane?
[This new anchor wore two books, both of which were strategy guides, so he must have something extraordinary! 】
[Or maybe he has activated a huge cheat code? (Thinking) Or maybe he is a senior reader of melodramatic novels, familiar with the plot, and made a series of wonderful moves.]
[I’m from Big Pineapple Agency!] I want to sign a anchor on behalf of the company. Our company mainly promotes handsome idol anchors who are stars. We guarantee that the anchors will shine and have a bright future.]
More and more people came from all directions and crowded into the live broadcast room.
Even the backend system of Wanjie Live Company was almost unable to bear it.
Looking at this scene, Gong Siyuan couldn't help but light a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
——Gong Siyuan was thinking before that if Jian Yunlan couldn't pass this plane, they could just lower the price and have more confidence when negotiating the contract with Jian Yunlan, but now...
"Boss, another agency has offered a sky-high contract to sign Boss Jian."
"Ahhh Boss, Strawberry Entertainment said they have drawn up a contract specifically for Boss Jian."
"The chairman of Kiwi Entertainment came to our door in person, spending a huge sum of money, saying that he just wanted to meet Boss Jian..."
If we say that not long ago, many economic companies were still waiting and watching, unsure whether to sign such a "unique style" anchor who travels through books.
Now, everyone instantly realized how terrifying Jian Yunlan’s potential and money-making ability were.
With such a good opportunity right in front of them, why wouldn’t they try hard to sign the contract? They are not fools!
Although Jian Yunlan had just finished the book-traveling challenge and had not yet arrived at the plane of all worlds.
But… by the time he arrived at the plane of all realms, it was too late.
This is a very competitive fight.
All kinds of top-level contracts were flying in from various brokerage companies like snowflakes. Even the door of their office was now surrounded by people. Everyone had a fanatical and weird smile on their face, and they kept pulling at the door with their hands.
Boom boom boom!
Different voices were heard outside the door: "Manager Gong, please open the door~" "Yes, yes, we are not bad people, we just want to discuss the contract with Boss Jian!" "Don't listen to their nonsense, we at Cranberry Entertainment are sincere..."
In addition to the knocking on the door, there was also the sound of nails scratching on wooden boards, ferocious roars and growls, and the sound of saliva dripping onto the ground.
The employees of the melodramatic novel department had never seen such a scene before.
They blocked the door with stools, huddled together trembling, and looked at Gong Siyuan:
"Boss, say something, Boss!!!"
Gong Siyuan is worthy of being a manager. He has experienced all kinds of ups and downs over the years.
At this time, she remained as still as a mountain, with a calm expression: "Everyone, don't worry."
Everyone looked at her with admiration and dependence.
Boss, there must be a way...
Bar?
Gong Siyuan kept smiling and took two steps back: "Then - I will go to meet the anchors who have finished the challenge, come on."
Gong Siyuan walked to the exclusive teleportation ladder hidden nearby and pressed the button.
The subordinates who reacted realized that they were about to be abandoned, and their expressions suddenly became ferocious. They stretched out their hands: "No, she's trying to run, catch her--"
But Gong Siyuan had already stepped out of the floating ladder and the ladder door closed.
The subordinates' faces hit the elevator door.
Until the suspension ladder was started, the sound of them scratching the door panels in resentment and unwillingness could still be heard.
After entering the suspended staircase, Gong Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, a long-lost excitement appearing on his face.
She survived!
She escaped from the zombies!
…But when she turned around, the next second, her face turned completely pale.
Because, in front of her eyes.
There was a person sitting on the soft leather seat of the suspended ladder.
The man had snow-white skin and calm eyes. The iconic bright red teardrop mole under the eye reflects the light of the setting sun outside the window as he smiles.
It was such a beautiful and pleasing picture, but Gong Siyuan couldn't help but shudder, feeling -
It's very cold.
Ning Sheng, don't come over here!
Gong Siyuan's back was pressed against the door of the suspended staircase, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She managed to pull the corners of her mouth: "Uh, Mr. Ning, what can I do for you?"
Ning Sheng folded his hands and smiled softly:
"Manager Gong, if I understand correctly... after the challenge of "Dark River Light" is over, Boss Jian will come to the Myriad Worlds Plane, right?"
Gong Siyuan nodded tremblingly.
Ning Sheng laughed again.
This time, his smile was a little colder:
"Manager Gong, I hope you won't go back on your word on what we agreed on in our previous meeting."
"…My request is simple. Now, immediately, immediately—
"Take me to see Boss Jian."
.
The plane of "Light in the Dark River".
Just a second before Jian Yunlan passed the level, everyone was gathered together happily, eating fried chicken and spicy hot pot.
Fu Changfeng brought milk tea and distributed it among the crowd. Yu Ming was still helping to distribute and collect inhibitors with a happy and sincere smile on his face.
Gathering with friends at a snack stand late at night, eating a mouthful of hot spicy hotpot with fried chicken, and then a sip of iced milk tea, the taste is simply a unique enjoyment in the world...
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss Jian is the only true God!"
"Yes, not only is the spicy hot pot delicious, but the fried chicken is also delicious."
"I want to eat spicy fried chicken tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that—"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao's words got stuck in her throat.
The air was stagnant, the dust blown up by the autumn wind also stagnated in mid-air, and the flowing moonlight suddenly stopped.
The whole world seemed to be paused.
Like everyone else in the Dark River Light plane, Xiao Xiao heard a clear mechanical voice in her mind:
"Ding Dong! The host [Jian Yunlan] has successfully cleared the plane you are in. The world line of this live broadcast room will become the 'real world line' of your plane and is being replaced..."
Along with the mechanical sound, countless memories instantly awakened in Xiao Xiao's mind, as if it was a cycle of fate.
Admitted to summer camp countless times.
Countless times, I spent a difficult month in a fully enclosed summer camp.
Countless times of studying, graduating, working, 996...
Until one day in the future, the protagonist dies.
Everything was reset to the starting point. Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and saw the wrinkled face of the principal, Lao Xu, again: "Hello everyone, I am Lao Xu, the principal of Longteng Summer Camp. We are a fully enclosed summer camp, and climbing over the wall is absolutely static!"
The classmate next to her poked her and whispered, "Have you heard that the most awesome student in our class is called Fu Changfeng..."
Xiao Xiao: “???”
It turns out that she is an NPC whose name doesn’t even appear in this ridiculous novel? ? !
The timeline of the original work of "Light in Dark River" spans a long time. Unlike "Paranoia" which only lasted for one year, the timeline of "Light in Dark River" spans decades.
Before being cleared, the lives of all characters were trapped in these decades, repeating over and over again.
And now, those memories that have accumulated countless times are pouring out like a flood.
The excessive amount of information instantly overloads everyone's brain.
Fu Changfeng and Yu Ming were also struck by lightning and stopped where they were.
——As the protagonists of "Light in the Dark River", the memories they received are tens of thousands times that of other characters.
Countless timelines and memories of countless destinies are superimposed at this moment, which is something the normal human physiological structure cannot withstand.
In some destinies, they are entangled with each other for a lifetime, and neither of them has a happy ending;
In some destinies, Yu Ming was disabled for life, and Fu Changfeng died on the battlefield;
In some destinies, they try to shake hands and make peace, and resist tragedy together, but they are still pushed into the abyss by mistake;
My head hurts...
Yu Ming pursed his lips, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but squat down.
Including Xiao Xiao, many people had blank expressions, holding their heads and muttering to themselves:
"How old am I?"
"I'm only a high school student this year, but why do I feel like I've lived for over a hundred years?"
"I have traveled through time and space into a book and have become an insignificant NPC in a bloody novel. My mission is to say "He loves him so much" when the protagonist is struggling with his feelings????"
...Fortunately, the overwhelming information overload did not last long.
As the mechanical sound sounded again, the flood receded, and all the repeated memories disappeared:
"The world line when the anchor [Jian Yunlan] cleared the game has become the real world line of the "Dark River Light" plane! The replacement is successful! I wish you a happy life!"
"Your plane has been unlocked, and you have obtained permission to log in to the Wanjie Live Room~"
"As a native of the plane of Dark River Light, you now have the authority to view all the information of the original work. You can summon the floating light spot in the Wanjie Live Room at any time and click the 'Current Plane Details' button to view it~"
"Welcome to the Wanjie Live Broadcast Room!"
All those chaotic memories faded from everyone's mind, as if they had never happened.
Everyone's expressions finally gradually returned to confusion.
"What happened just now?" "I feel like I forgot something very important." "Fuck, fuck, fuck, did you all see this?!"
Someone pointed at the light screen in front of them and couldn't help but exclaimed.
More and more people are aware of the existence of light screens.
On the light screen, bullet comments began to flash:
【Welcome, welcome!】 】
[Ming Ming, my Ming Ming ahhhh you are finally free, no one can imprison you anymore (wiping tears)]
[I must be dreaming, 嘤嘤嘤QAQ]
[Brother Fu!] Brother Fu, look here! 】
...Compared to the light screen, more people's attention was attracted by another thing.
"Jane, where is Boss Jane?" someone asked tremblingly.
The air was silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the location that originally belonged to Boss Jian's snack stand.
At this time, the place was empty. Boss Jian's pot, Boss Jian's colander, the running silver dog, the little girl with a bun, and Boss Jian himself... all disappeared completely.
As if it had never existed.
Everyone opened their mouths.
My heart is broken.
Fu Changfeng's phoenix eyes became deep, and all the clues were connected in a flash. His expression was gradually stained with a trace of stubborn pain: "Boss Jian, you... will come back, right?"
Yu Ming's face turned pale, and the dimple on his lips completely disappeared.
His dark pupils were also tinged with a hint of mist.
"Boss Jian, I finally found you," Yu Ming murmured, "Why did you leave again?... What should I do without you...?"
Live broadcast room of all worlds.
Hundreds of thousands of new viewers poured in instantly, excitedly sending all kinds of barrages and gifts, hoping to get responses from the characters in their minds.
But old viewers...
With the experience of unlocking the dimension of "Paranoia" last time, unlike new viewers, many old viewers have already given up and are making bets calmly:
[What do you think the first comment of "Light in the Dark River" will be? 】
[My bet is 'Give my mom the gift of Boss Jian' (covering face)]
【+1】
[Too unoriginal!] I guess it's 'Where's Boss Jane? We want to talk to him']
[Is it possible that 'Boss Jian, we miss you very much in the Dark River Light' plane?]
[It’s too rustic! ! ! No, I don't believe it. Someone as skilled in strategic planning as Fu Changfeng would definitely ask some more profound questions.]
Soon, under the nervous and expectant gaze of everyone.
The first comment from "Dark River Light" popped up:
[Yu Ming]: @Official, where is Boss Jian’s next dimension in the book? There are about two hundred of us here, and we plan to follow.
Audience: “…”
Although I was mentally prepared.
But the degree of madness of the protagonist of "The Light in the Dark River" still exceeded their imagination!
.
There was a deep, silent darkness before my eyes.
After a long while, the light finally came on.
Along with the soft light, another gentle female voice said in Jian Yunlan's ear:
"Traveler No. 666, Jian Yunlan, welcome aboard the Inter-Realm Shuttle Train!"
"The final destination of this train is: the World Jump Station."
"We will take you to the famous Ten Thousand Worlds Plane, the end point where all the small world planes intersect. Take a good rest in the Ten Thousand Worlds Plane, give your body and mind a good vacation, and enjoy the high technology and high welfare from the Ten Thousand Worlds Plane~"
For most streamers, after a book-crossing mission is completed, they have two choices:
1. Go directly to the next world.
2. Go to the plane of all worlds to rest for ten days or half a month. When you are ready, set off again to the next world.
Last time, Jian Yunlan chose option one without even thinking about it.
But after this mission was completed, no selection box popped up at all!
...Because Wanjie Live Broadcasting Company has already set it up in advance.
Jian Yunlan has conquered two worlds, and in such a jaw-dropping way, he has rewritten the ending of be.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the hottest new anchor in recent times.
There are a large number of agents from entertainment companies who are eagerly waiting to sign him.
Even the Wanjie Live Broadcasting Company has many business collaborations that they want to discuss with Jian Yunlan himself, not to mention the audience who want to taste the food he cooks.
The Wanjie Live Broadcast Room knows that if Jian Yunlan were allowed to choose, he would definitely choose to continue to the next world. They must not let that happen!
At this time, the gentle female voice continued: "Next, I will introduce you to the basic situation of the Ten Thousand Worlds~"
The sound seemed to have some kind of magical hypnotic effect, as gentle as the waves of the ocean. When a normal person heard this sound, they would be unable to resist closing their eyes and having a good sleep.
But Jian Yunlan is not a normal person.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looking dissatisfied: "The Ten Thousand Worlds? I don't want to go to the Ten Thousand Worlds!"
The stall setting task of the Kitchen God system is carried out in a small plane. Although Jian Yunlan didn't know much about the plane of the universe, he had a vague feeling that it was a boring place that would only affect the speed of setting up his stall.
The female voice paused.
Jian Yunlan looked around.
He was in a place similar to a train compartment. Outside the glass window was an endless starry sky, and he could see many balls of light outside the sky.
As if sensing his doubts, the female voice explained:
"Each ball of light represents a small plane. This is a wonder that can only be seen in the plane of all worlds!"
"Dear, please think about it carefully. The welfare, technology, and wealth of the Ten Thousand Worlds Plane are second to none. You have tens of millions of star coins in your account to redeem for gifts—"
"I don't care," Jian Yunlan interrupted her directly this time, "Let me go to the next world, I want to set up a stall!"
Female voice: “…”
Just as others said, Jian Yunlan was a troublemaker.
As an experienced traveler in the world, she has a set of special strategies to deal with such troublemakers.
The system remembered what its boss said, that this kind of customers usually respond to soft tactics and not hard ones, so it only needs to delay time. The train will arrive at the station in two minutes, and by then, Jian Yunlan will have to get off the train even if she doesn't want to.
The female voice said cautiously:
"Um, honey, I'm so sorry, we're about to reach the final destination, and we can't change the destination now. You can log in to the Myriad Worlds Plane first, and then... Damn it!!! Don't smash the window! "
The gentle female voice was filled with fear and terror.
Because she saw with her own eyes——
Jian Yunlan, who possesses natural supernatural powers, raised his hand and punched.
The transparent glass made of high-strength alloy material actually began to show spider-web-like cracks, and then there was a loud bang.
…He actually blew the glass window open!
The system just felt black.
It’s over. This month’s performance is all ruined.
"Outside is a small dimension, right?" Jian Yunlan had already stepped on the window sill, his white shirt blown up by the wind. He smiled brightly, "I'm going to set up the stall. Bye--"
The other side.
Ning Sheng, who had waited for several hours at the terminal of the Myriad Worlds Shuttle but still saw no one, said: "..."
Boss Jian, how can I be such a big boss like Jian? !
