As lunchtime approached, Abyss Jing did not continue playing ranked matches after finishing a game, and the game screen returned to the lobby.
"Dinner's ready." Unlike the experienced user's response, a clear, youthful voice came from the screen.
Several comments immediately appeared in the live stream chat.
[Looking back: Will the streamer continue playing later? Your skills are pretty good, can you help them gain followers? Paid service is fine.]
[Phoebe the Pretty Angel: The host's voice is so nice! Say a few more words!]
[My World and Mental Off Track: I just logged in and they're already ending the stream?]
Abyss Jing actually interacted with the comments, responding to each one: "I can carry fans, one game... five yuan, I'll make up for the loss. My voice... cough... it's okay. Yes, I'm ending the stream, I should be able to stream again at nine o'clock tonight."
Seeing that Abyss Jing would read the comments, Gu Qingqiu immediately posted one as well.
[Autumn: Jingzai, remember to eat well tonight!]
Abyss seemed to pause for a moment before replying, "...Okay."
Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment and then sent Abyss Mirror a small gift.
[User Autumn fed me 1 unit of popcorn]
Abyss Jing was a little surprised, and said in a monotone voice, "Thank you for the popcorn, Autumn."
Judging from Abyss's unfamiliarity with giving gifts, she probably doesn't receive many tips normally.
Gu Qingqiu was a little curious. If Abyss Jing was Bai Jingyuan, then was he a 19-year-old boy who didn't study and spent his days playing games in a live stream with only twenty or thirty people?
Does his family know? Did he run away from home?
In an instant, Gu Qingqiu imagined many scenarios.
The live stream ended, Gu Qingqiu followed Abyss Jing and set a reminder for when the live stream would start, and then started looking at Abyss Jing's homepage.
There were few posts with any information; most were meaningless messages like "broadcast starts at X o'clock" or "something came up and I can't broadcast." However, the first post caught Gu Qingqiu's attention.
AbyssMirror: Today is my first day on D-site. I hope we can have fun together!
This was a post automatically sent by the system, but it was sent a month ago, so AbyssMirror hasn't been a streamer on D-site for very long.
Unable to find any other useful information, Gu Qingqiu had no choice but to give up for the time being and wait for Abyss Jing's live stream that evening to see if she could extract any more information.
...
Bai Jingyuan sat in the chair, somewhat dazed, until the internet cafe manager came to urge him, "Student, you have five minutes left. Do you want to extend your time?"
"Oh, I won't add it now. I'm going to eat. I'll leave as soon as I'm done cleaning up." Bai Jingyuan tugged at his sleeve.
Upon hearing this answer, the network administrator could only shrug and walk away with his hands behind his back.
Bai Jingyuan opened his income backend.
[Abyss Mirror, your current withdrawable amount: 212 yuan, would you like to withdraw?]
Without a second thought, Bai Jingyuan clicked "Yes," then shut down his computer, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and left.
As Bai Jingyuan approached the internet cafe, he received a text message from the bank.
[Your bank account ending in 5277 received RMB 202 on May 21st, leaving a balance of RMB 276.]
Bai Jingyuan turned away from the steamed bun shop and headed towards the hand-pulled pancake shop next door.
He's been craving this hand-pulled pancake every time he passes by this shop these past few days, but he hasn't dared to indulge himself and buy one because he's short on cash.
D-Station's earnings require a minimum of 200 to withdraw, but despite broadcasting frequently these past few days, he hasn't received much in tips or gifts, and can only look at his "balance" of a little over 180 every day, hoping for a quick and satisfying return.
But today—thinking of the user named "Autumn" who first appeared in the live stream, he felt a heartfelt sense of gratitude.
