Chapter 153

As a human being with a certain amount of intelligence, Ye Ping'an always firmly believes in a famous saying.

Every gift from fate has already been secretly marked with a price.

Are there any good things happening in this world without any reason?

Maybe, but he didn't believe it would happen to him.

He learned the knowledge, he studied hard to get into university, and the house was left behind by his parents.

Even if you scratch off a scratch card and win a hundred dollars, didn't you still spend twenty dollars to buy it?

So, when the "Star Live Room" was tied to him last year, Ye Pingan did not think it was a good thing and prepared for the worst.

From the very beginning, Ye Ping'an was in a mess.

All he had to do was complete a fixed amount of live streaming time each month, and the audience rewards could be converted into Xiaguo currency. His income was comparable to that of the top anchors on a certain audio platform, and everything seemed great.

But Ye Ping'an just didn't like it.

He didn't like having something strange tied to his body.

I also don’t like holding up my phone every day to find a place to live stream.

Even working hard on coding in the dormitory is much more interesting than live streaming in his eyes.

But now, he is trapped in this "Interstellar Live Room".

This is what Ye Pingan gradually discovered.

The Interstellar Live Room did not give him very strict requirements. Basically, he just had to complete the minimum live broadcast time, and there were no sudden tasks.

But humans are not tools of machines.

Ye Pingan found that he was gradually influenced by the interstellar audience in the live broadcast room.

It is difficult for people not to care about the outside world's evaluation.

Although Ye Pingan’s live broadcasts were sloppy, last semester he always broadcast on the Binhai University campus and in nearby areas. After a long time, some old viewers didn’t like watching it.

Therefore, Ye Pingan would take advantage of the weekends to go out, visit other scenic spots, or live broadcast on the streets, and then receive the astonishment of the audience in the live broadcast room, and sigh that the host's investment in retro Blue Star landscaping is increasing.

It has to be said that this kind of "I am the only one awake while others don't know" makes Ye Ping'an laugh in his heart every time he sees the audience in the live broadcast room sighing.

[The host has opened a new scene again! ]

[I wonder what retro scenic spot it will be next time, and when it will open! ]

[What a big deal, so many pure-blooded Blue Star people, shocking, the anchor must be backed by a big Blue Star family. ]

[I suspect this is a retro planet built by a blue star. The host is giving us a preview, but when will it open? How much do you spend on so many actors and NPCs?]

Such comments from the audience brought him a lot of secret happiness, or secret joy, which was also the reason why he would go out to change places even if he had to broadcast live at the minimum.

Sometimes, he would even go to a certain scenic spot or appear on Wan Guo Street to live stream the crowd just to see the more outrageous speculations and exaggerations from the live broadcast audience.

Even during the winter and summer vacations, he would go to famous mountains and rivers to broadcast live.

Ye Ping'an had to admit that he had a secret sense of superiority in his heart, and had thoughts like "The aliens are so ignorant", "I've never seen this before", and "I'll open your eyes today".

But he always adhered to the minimum live broadcast time, of course, mainly because he was lazy.

But a lazy man like him is willing to go out and broadcast live far away because of the feedback from the audience in these live broadcast rooms.

Until one day, Ye Ping'an woke up and Yuan Ye asked him in the dormitory what he was going to do that day. His first reaction was to go out and live broadcast.

Ye Ping'an didn't answer at that time, but he was stunned by his own thoughts.

Why should I go out and broadcast live?

Because we need to meet the minimum live broadcast duration.

But I have already completed this month's schedule.

In his heart, Ye Ping'an completed the questions and answers he asked himself.

Is he doing live streaming for money? No, he can’t spend all the money he earned from live streaming rewards and income.

When he wants to do something, his first reaction is "live broadcast". He has developed a habit of this. Secondly, the live broadcast room brings him a lot of positive pleasure.

When he got out of bed, Boss Chu casually said, "You got up so late today, you don't need to go out to live broadcast."

These extraordinary words really made Ye Ping'an feel like he was struck by lightning.

His live broadcast frequency is so high that his roommates are used to it.

That day, Ye Ping'an walked alone on the campus and thought for a long time.

It was spring in Bincheng, but he hadn't appreciated the scenery outside for a long time. Every time he went out, he would hold up his selfie stick and his phone, watching the bullet screen flashing past his eyes, and ignoring everything around him for a long time.

I don’t know since when, my life has become centered around the “live broadcast room”.

Others are in school, but after class and dinner, when they have free time during the day, they have to think about where to do a live broadcast and where to go to show the audience something new and shocking.

That day, Ye Pingan walked on the campus so seriously for the first time. He had walked there many times, but he only paid attention to the floating barrage of comments and did not pay attention to the flowers, grass and birds around him.

So, from that day on, Ye Pingan made up his mind that he would completely cut off this interstellar live broadcast room.

He wants to get his own life back, a life centered on his personal will and not affected by external things.

The interstellar live broadcast room did bring him benefits and happiness. For example, a small amount of cash could be used to support him for a long time, and there was also the information gap from thousands of years in the future and the emotional value provided by the interstellar audience.

He thought about it carefully. His parents passed away and he only had an old house left. Not counting the money he had saved on the live broadcast room, his own savings were barely six figures.

Giving up the live broadcast room is equivalent to giving up endless money.

But Ye Ping'an still decided to give up.

He was a top student in the computer science department, and the leader of the girls' dormitory had once asked him to help with programming.

Ye Ping'an has no shortage of work to do, and as long as he has work to do, he can earn money.

Maybe he is just a bit of a jerk. He doesn't like to make big money from the live broadcast room, and he feels more at ease with the money he earns from typing out lines of code.

What's more, this live broadcast room of unknown origin is tied to him, and Ye Ping'an feels that it could be a time bomb at any time.

He once worried whether he would be forced to become a "Blue Star spy" and start live broadcasting, which would lead to the disclosure of the coordinates of Blue Star in the universe. Now, Ye Ping'an is still worried.

People are afraid of the unknown. Ye Pingan has always had concerns about the live broadcast room. Killing him is a small matter, but it will be a big deal if it involves the entire Blue Star!

Therefore, he did not dare to use "forceful" means to destroy his live broadcast room.

Of course, he himself doesn't have such means.

From spring to now, Ye Pingan has been slowly testing the bottom line of the assistant in the live broadcast room.

The length of the live broadcast gradually decreased, from only half completed, to only one-third, and one-fifth completed. By July, he had not broadcast for a whole month.

Although the live broadcast assistant urged him, Ye Pingan repeatedly said that he was still a student, very busy with studies and did not have that much time.

He did not receive the "severe punishment" that one might imagine.

Apart from urging him, the only thing the assistant can do to him is to suspend the "live cash withdrawal".

Ye Ping'an's live broadcast time failed to meet the requirement for four consecutive months, his anchor level kept dropping, and he was unable to cash out his live broadcast income for four months, but he didn't care.

He gradually figured out that the little assistant tied to him was really just an intelligent assistant to assist in live broadcasting, with only auxiliary functions. The punishment of his current authority demotion was also in accordance with the rules.

Ye Pingan originally wanted to test whether he could use a passive strike and resignation as a non-cooperative measure to allow this interstellar live broadcast room to be automatically "unloaded".

But at the moment, there seems to be no movement in this live broadcast room.

Ye Pingan wondered in his heart, would this thing be tied to him for life? Was it because all the energy had been consumed in him before and could not be transferred now?

He was not discouraged. Since a passive strike and failure to complete the live broadcast time could block some of his rights, what about taking other actions?

Although this is an interstellar live broadcast room, it is similar to modern live broadcast platforms to some extent.

The live broadcast room is a platform, which will push traffic to the anchor, recommend newcomers, and guide traffic. When Ye Pingan first started live broadcasting, a large number of viewers came, and he guessed that there must be traffic diversion.

Even though the times are different, there must be some similarities in live streaming.

For example, the live broadcast room is not allowed to mention certain topics or terms, and any blatant violation of public order and good morals will result in a ban.

Ye Pingan tried several times. He directly mentioned in the live broadcast room, "I am on the Blue Star, this is a thousand years ago." He said it openly and was not banned once, and was even laughed at by the audience.

[Okay, okay, we know you are from the Blue Star in ancient times.]

[Yeah, yeah, you're right. This was a thousand years ago.]

This trick obviously didn't work, so he had to think of other ways.

The audience who had seen the live broadcast room mentioned that the live broadcast rooms in the Star Age were classified, and people of certain special races were allowed to broadcast live, which directly put an end to Ye Ping'an's attempt to do something vulgar.

Bloody and violent...he has nowhere to go!

Because of their special identities as "little lovers", Ye Ping'an was afraid that they would find out something when he tried, so he lived off campus during this period.

But...his current attempts to unblock and ban the account have all been unsuccessful, which makes Ye Ping'an doubt a question.

Considering Ayan and Zhu Jue’s connection with the Star Age, as well as their possible identities, does it mean that this live broadcast room of mine must be reviewed by two people?

After all, his live broadcast assistant is a complete waste. He doesn't know anything when asked. Either he has permission problems or he says "due to the current time and space gap, I can't tell you for the time being", which makes Ye Ping'an so angry that he wants to vomit blood.

Ye Ping'an thought about it and decided that he would never use this last trick unless it was absolutely necessary.

If there is a problem with his limbs, his life is threatened, or he has reached the end of his life, the live broadcast room should be untied, right?

But at present, out of concern for his own life, Ye Ping'an has not thought about this plan in detail.

The interstellar live broadcast room tied to him did not pose an obvious threat to his life, so would he have to pay a heavy price for it?

Ye Ping'an hasn't thought it through yet.

He decided to play cards with his two friends.

If there is anyone in this world who knows more about "Interstellar Live Room" than him, it must be the young couple from the stars.

As for the identities of Zhu Jue and A Yan, Ye Ping'an had always been making guesses based on the clues he had discovered.

If the two people were indeed what he guessed, archaeological observers from the interstellar era and his own live broadcast supervisor, they should have the so-called "authority" to access the system bound to him.

Even if they didn't, both of them could use the space-time portal to send snacks from the interstellar era, so they should have some status in the interstellar era. At the very least, as interstellar people, they should know how to cancel the anchor account!

So, after hiding from his roommate for a month, Ye Ping'an made up his mind and sent a message to his good roommate.

[Ye Ping An]: Brother Jue, are you free these two days? I want to ask you and A Yan for help with something?

When Zhu Jue received his message, he and A Yan were watching a summer movie in the mall.

"I don't know what happened to Ping An." Zhu Jue was curious.

"He hasn't lived in the dorm for a whole month. Maybe it's really an emotional problem. After all, he needs to consult both of us!" Ah Yan said with his chin raised.

The elementary school semester was over and the two of them had no classes at all. They had not yet decided whether to go back to their home in Ningcheng during the remaining summer vacation. However, during this period of time, as the vacation was about to end, their parents had obviously started to get busy.

Zhu Jue quickly replied that he and A Yan were available anytime.

On the other side, Ye Ping'an also made up his mind that it was better to do it today than to wait for another day. He was afraid that if he postponed it any further, he would regret it. He was hesitant in his heart, so he simply decided to schedule it in the afternoon to cut the Gordian knot.

In the afternoon, A Yan and Zhu Jue met Ye Ping'an, who was obviously nervous and embarrassed.

They met at a teahouse not far from Binda. After the waiter finished serving the food, Ye Ping'an took a special look at the door, then closed and locked it, and coughed twice.

"Ping An, what's going on? Why are you making it so private?" Ah Yan's eyes were gleaming with gossip.

"Did something happen outside of school?" Zhu Jue asked concernedly.

Ye Pingan took a deep breath. From what they said, it seemed that they didn't notice his recent actions. But he couldn't care less now.

“You guys know I do live streaming, right?” he said.

Ah Yan and Zhu Jue nodded at the same time, "We all know it."

Not only they knew, everyone in the two dormitories knew that Ye Ping'an was doing live broadcasts. It was all public knowledge, but they just didn't know his live broadcast ID.

"Am I your friend?" Ye Ping'an suddenly asked this question without any context, almost confusing the two of them.

"Of course." Ah Yan said.

"You are our future best man." Zhu Jue looked at him.

Okay, even if he is an interstellar person, he still considers him a friend, Ye Pingan encouraged himself in his heart.

"I mean, if I don't want to be a host anymore and don't want to broadcast live, is there any way?" Ye Pingan asked his question very directly.

He looked at the two of them with a sincere and burning gaze.

"I know you will find a way."

This is a teahouse after all, and Ye Ping'an is not sure if there are any surveillance or eavesdropping devices, so he did not directly say the Interstellar Live Room, but he believed that the two of them would be able to understand what he meant.

Ping An was probably talking about the interstellar live broadcast room on his body. Could it be that the live broadcast room had any negative impact on him?

But Ah Yan didn't know the answer to this question either! And why did Ping An think they had a solution?

Ah Yan asked in confusion: "First, let's disconnect the internet and see?"

"Cancel the account?" Zhu Jue asked hesitantly.

Ye Ping'an was stunned at this moment.

All of a sudden, he heard the live broadcast assistant's prompt in his ear.

[Anchor, please pay attention, anchor, please pay attention, the current time and space intersection is interrupted, the signal is lost, the signal is lost! It is not ruled out that the current signal may be captured! ]

【The relay signal is lost, and the cross-time link cannot be established. 】

[Cannot call, cannot call, cannot call! ]

[The live broadcast room cannot establish an effective link to provide energy consumption, and will activate the signal protection mechanism, delete the local storage information, and enter the sleep state. 】

The voice of the live broadcast assistant in the Interstellar Live Broadcast Room suddenly stopped. Ye Ping'an called the live broadcast room in his heart but no prompt popped up. There was no more sound.

He stared blankly at the young couple sitting opposite him.

Ye Pingan guessed that the two of them should have certain authority, and thought that he could just open a backdoor for him. The result was such a direct, simple and crude operation!

Oh shit!

Did the two of them just unplug the internet cable from the star system for him?!
