Chapter Seventeen: Doubts in the Livestream Room

Page (1/3)

This blueprint wasn’t detailed; it only roughly marked certain elements, including what Huayun had just mentioned. It was merely part of her plan, with no specific details revealed.

Everyone else suffers while I enjoy myself: Has the streamer gone mad? Is this how one grabs eyeballs?

Waiting for my destined one: I’m here to find my destined one, not to watch a lunatic!

I don’t need you to teach me: To the person above, look at my name.

User666: Hahaha, this is hilarious. Is your destined one her, @Huayun’s precious darling?

Waiting for my destined one: Brother, you really get me.

The online crowd was diverse—some chatting, some trolling—but most were skeptical.

Zergs, go die: Friends, what exactly is "The Peach Blossom Spring"? Every word the streamer says sounds like pure fantasy to me!

Confident as ever: It’s you again! I can see you’re dreaming big, but...

Huayun watched the various comments in the livestream, having anticipated them all along. She could only say that the star coins were very effective, attracting so many viewers and preventing the stream from going cold.

“Now, I’ll show you what the planet looks like currently,” Huayun said, activating the livestream drone to display a panoramic view of the planet. Of course, it wasn’t very detailed, but it was sufficient as a simple introduction.

“At the moment, we are farming and building houses,” she explained, as the camera shifted toward the land covered by a protective shield.

“These cabbage plants were sown during the last livestream and are now edible.” They hadn’t fully matured yet, but Huayun thought the cabbage seedlings tasted better anyway.

“I’ll be planting seeds on the remaining plots over the next few days.”

After outlining the near-term plans, the camera returned to Huayun, who said she would edit the interesting parts into videos for upload. Currently, she livestreamed every two days, with occasional extra streams for special events. If she couldn’t stream, she would inform everyone in advance.

This was Huayun’s considered plan. Since there was nothing finished yet, the livestream might be somewhat dull, but it had to meet the academy’s requirements, so the tentative schedule was every other day.

As she spoke, a comment suddenly appeared on the screen.

Night Roamer: Didn’t you say you’d send me some vegetables?

Confident as ever: What vegetables?

Seeing both of their comments, Huayun replied, “Contact me the day after tomorrow and send me your address. I’ll mail them to you.”

Night Roamer: Never mind, this young master doesn’t want them!

What’s so good about those? A waste of time.

Confident as ever, on the other hand, happily left his address, eager to deliver to his big brother, so he wouldn’t be accused of being unproductive all the time.

“I’m going to farm now. If anyone’s interested, feel free to keep watching,” Huayun said, turning around and heading out to work the land.

The academy had sent plenty of seeds recently, and she had bought quite a few more on the interstellar net.

Every time she planted seeds, Huayun infused them with her supernatural power, which could activate the seeds’ vitality and also absorb some harmful elements within them.

She found that plants grown this way developed faster and healthier than those without any supernatural aid.

In corners unseen by Huayun, the chat continued unabated. Many found what she had just said utterly incredible. What did “retro” mean? Why plant all kinds of plants? They recognized the characters but couldn’t grasp the meaning.

They had expected the livestream on this barren star to be like others from various families—quick security scans, rapid construction of high-tech buildings, and then seeking out plants.

But... nobody understood what this stream was talking about!

As for that “The Peach Blossom Spring,” although it sounded odd, it didn’t stop them from imagining the beautiful scenery described.

—“Fresh fragrant grass? Falling flower petals? Aren’t you afraid of mutated plants attacking?”

—“Fields connected by paths, chickens and dogs heard in the distance? Chickens? That must be a species from old Earth.”

—“I know ‘The Peach Blossom Spring’ is a tale passed down from old Earth, but... Earth’s culture has been broken for a long time. Our academy doesn’t even have the original text. I doubt this streamer’s using the original version.”

—“Old Earth? That was thousands of years ago. No one even knows where Earth is now.”

—“I don’t care. Although I can’t fully understand the meaning, it gives me a sense of peaceful times. It’s something current life can’t offer me. I’m going to follow this streamer to see if we can have a peach blossom planet.”

—“I just asked my mentor, and he said this article might actually be genuine.”

—“The streamer farms so fast! I remember my senior was always very careful with farming. Why does she look so relaxed and casual? Will it even survive?”

—“Look, what’s the streamer doing? Why is she going up the mountain?”

The livestream showed Huayun walking toward a nearby mountain, soon disappearing from the frame.

—“Huh? So what are we supposed to watch now?”

—“Boring, I’m out.”

They were only here for the excitement, and when there was none, they naturally left.

Of course, some didn’t mind gossiping about the streamer’s strange behavior with others.

There were also those with nothing better to do, or slacking off at work, who simply left the stream running without it bothering them.

—“Feels like this stream is good for AFK.”

—“I think so too. It’s perfect to leave on when bored.”

Before long, the viewer count settled at just a few hundred, with minor fluctuations but no significant changes.

Once on the mountain, Huayun began using her psychic power to locate animals. She was hungry. Over the past few days, she’d discovered some weakly aggressive animals lived there.

Closing her eyes and twitching her ears, Huayun suddenly dashed off in one direction, chasing a small figure moving quickly.

Still a bit slow, Huayun used a psychic strike, and the shadow collapsed instantly. She stepped forward and grabbed it by the ear.

It was a long-eared beast, common in the galaxy, with weak attack power and often used as a source of nutrients.

Soon, Huayun appeared back in the livestream, holding the long-eared beast.

—“What’s the streamer doing? Why catch a long-eared beast?”

—“Why skin it?”

—“Is this... is the streamer some kind of weirdo?”

Huayun ignored the chat and simply cleaned the skinned beast, then chopped it into small pieces.

Somehow, she pulled out a collection of bottles and jars, a hot pan, and poured in some ingredients. A wisp of blue smoke rose as she cooked, then she added the prepared beast meat into the pan.

—“What exactly is the streamer doing? I don’t get it!”

—“If I’m not mistaken, she seems to be cooking...”

—“Don’t joke. My mentor studies food science, and he’s never done it like this.”

Night Roamer: Isn’t cooking just boiling?

After a while of tinkering, Huayun plated the long-eared beast meat.

Then she picked some small cabbage seedlings and boiled them into a soup.

Shortly after, Huayun went to her hover sphere and scooped a bowl of rice, preparing to enjoy her meal live on stream.
