Chapter 135 Xiawei Temple I have a real surprise for you yet...
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "A Little Bit of First Love Complex"!]
Strictly speaking, this isn't the first time, it's the second! The real first time was when Stone Buddha said "Thank you, Benefactor Yu" to the Great Demon King, but before he could even finish speaking, the production team's goodwill announcement came, and very few people's attention was still on that point!
So, in such a short time, not only did the "Stone Buddha" (a nickname for a male celebrity) give the female guest his first complete sentence, but he also gave her his second one in quick succession?! This is getting more and more romantic!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 3 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "磕磕磕!"!]
[I was quite puzzled before why the little witch called the headless stone demon "Mr. Stone Demon" instead of "Mr. Stone Demon," which didn't quite fit her usual habits. Now I finally know the answer. The little witch is so gentle and warm-hearted to the headless stone demon in such a subtle way, like a little sun...]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 12 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Red Medicine"!]
Yu Naixin received approximately 600 Sweet Coins in total from the live stream viewers during the real-life event.
The "Xiawei Temple" episode is nearing its end. Compared to the previous episodes "Cocoon Village" and "Swan Castle," which received donations of two to three thousand yuan, this episode is rather lackluster.
In particular, the program length of "Xiawei Temple" is much longer than that of "Cocoon Village" and "Swan Castle". If you calculate the number of Sweet Coins that Yu Naixin earned in the same amount of time, it is pitifully small.
Adding to the fact that Yu Naixin originally bought four substitute straw men, leaving her with just over 1,000 in savings, her current account balance is only 1,619 Sweet Coins.
The main reason is the rhythm and style of this episode. Yu Naixin changed her usual behavior in the previous two episodes, and the frequency of her crazy behavior and troublemaking decreased significantly. She could even be described as very mild.
Such live streams naturally have a certain audience, but Yu Naixin is still a novice and this is her first time trying this style, so it is difficult to attract the audience that is into this kind of thing.
Most importantly, the vast majority of viewers love excitement and novelty. Yu Naixin's previous live streams were full of exciting moments, which made many viewers very happy, and that's why they were willing to give her tips.
To put it bluntly, in the audience tipping model stipulated by "Heartbeat 1000%", the sweet interactions between the program guests and the guest stars are just a framework. As long as the audience can find content to fit into it, they can tip, even if the reason is far-fetched.
The core issue isn't how sweet the relationship is between the main guests and the supporting guests, but whether the viewers in the live stream like it or not.
Yu Naixin had already discovered this when she was so bored during the two special memory illusions that she could only look through the history bullet comments on the system screen over and over again.
So far, she has spent most of her time on "Xiawei Temple" in the special memory illusions of the two male guests. In the possessed state, Yu Naixin is almost unable to do anything on her own initiative. The style of the two illusions is either boring or too cruel and desperate, so they are not interesting for the audience.
Many viewers left midway through, reducing the number of viewers still watching the live stream, and naturally, fewer people would give virtual gifts.
After leaving the illusion, Yu Naixin's interactions with the butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost were entirely heartwarming.
However, Yu Naixin herself didn't seem to care much about the fact that she earned much less from "Xiawei Temple".
Since she has chosen to do this, there is nothing to regret.
Yu Naixin also analyzed from the information intentionally or unintentionally revealed in the bullet comments that her previous efficiency in earning Sweet Coins was already quite rare. There are many program guests in "Heartbeat 1000%" who can only earn a dozen or twenty Sweet Coins in an entire episode.
Generally speaking, guests who can earn more than 100 Sweet Coins in a single episode are considered very capable, and those who can earn more than 300 are considered top-tier, since the base reward for each episode is only 100 Sweet Coins.
Yu Naixin received nearly two 300 Sweet Coins as a reward before the show was even over, truly deserving of the nickname "Purple Star" from some viewers in the live stream.
Hearing the headless stone ghost say to her, "You deserve it," Yu Naixin's eyebrows curved, and a hint of tears flashed in her eyes.
“This is nothing,” Yu Naixin said softly. “I have a real surprise for you yet.”
**********
While Yu Naixin and the headless stone ghost were inside the cave, the butter flower monk was waiting about 20 or 30 meters away from the mountain pass.
The butter-flower monk was unaware that the headless stone ghost had regained much of its senses, and he continued to avoid contact with it as much as possible, as was his usual practice.
Before Yu Naixin went to see the headless stone ghost, she specifically told the butter flower monk that she would visit the headless stone ghost and then return to Xiawei Temple, and that she might need the butter flower monk's help.
The butter-flower monk agreed without even asking what kind of help was needed.
He planned to wait for Yu Naixin to come out so they could go back together.
Some viewers switched to the perspective of the butter flower monk and, seeing this tall and handsome monk with a slender figure like a bamboo stalk standing alone in the snow, couldn't help but sigh that the male guest was a little too deeply in love.
[Willingly waiting outside in the freezing cold for the female guest and another male guest to be all lovey-dovey—this butter monk is just too devoted! I'm speechless with his infatuation!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 2 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Bibibo"!]
[Actually, I really wanted to see a dramatic showdown between the three of them, but thinking about it carefully, it seems like there's no way they could actually cause any trouble. The butter monk is the type who'll be nice to the female guests if you're nice to them, and the headless stone ghost is also the type who listens to the female guests a lot. It seems like these three guests could really live together with He Meimei!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a living embodiment of the Waxing Wife Stone that the Butter Monk is!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Evil Golden Shaded"!]
To be precise, the "Big Boss" isn't his "wife" at all! As a long-time viewer who's been following the show since the very first episode, I can say with certainty that the "Big Boss" definitely had a very high level of affection for the Butter Flower Monk and the Headless Stone Ghost. Even adding up all the male guests she'd encountered before, her affection level didn't reach even a tenth of what she felt for these two. It's about a difference of 5% to 50%, not even close to passing.
Because they had been standing in the snow, the snow accumulation changed, and the butter flower monk was the first to notice it.
The snow that was originally a foot or two thick suddenly began to melt away in mid-air, at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it was only thick enough to barely cover the top of the butter-painted monk's shoes.
Butter Monk: "...?!"
The monk who made butter sculptures looked astonished.
From the moment he entered Xiawei Temple, the snow-covered ground here has never changed. How could it suddenly change?
The monk with butter flowers had very limited knowledge of information related to "Heartbeat 1000%" and was unaware that almost all the scenery in the program's segments was generated based on the segment guests. However, the monk with butter flowers knew that this part of the snow mountain was the territory of the headless stone ghost, and that something different must have happened on the headless stone ghost's side to cause the snow to melt.
He immediately took several steps toward the cave entrance where the headless stone ghost lived, wanting to ascertain one thing—what impact Yu Naixin would be on him.
Fortunately, nothing that the butter flower monk feared happened. Yu Naixin soon appeared from the cave entrance, and there was no headless stone ghost following behind her.
"The snow has melted?" Yu Naixin had a strong sense of perception and looked around as soon as she came out.
[My goodness, has the Stone Buddha been so touched by the little witch that even the ice and snow around him have melted?! This stone man is way too romantic!!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Want to Eat Boneless Duck Feet"!]
[Or perhaps it was to make it easier for the female guest to move around? The snow was simply too deep for her; without other means, half a person could sink in.]
[I suspect you're disparaging the female guest's height, and I have concrete evidence.]
[This snow-capped mountain is clearly the grotto where the headless stone ghost once stood; the rehmannia flower also has a clear origin; and the snow accumulation certainly has a story and reason.]
Yes, the stone Buddha's wish is clear: to eliminate Japanese pirates and bandits, and to protect the lives of innocent people. Such heavy snow is an effective way to keep outsiders out of the remote grotto, and the stone Buddha likely subconsciously wanted to use this method to deter invaders.
