Chapter 60: The Cross-Dressing Game Streamer is Actually… (12)
Before going home for the winter break, Huo Xian bought a computer and some new cat supplies and food, so he dragged two large suitcases home.
It snowed heavily the night he arrived home, and the next day the whole world was a vast expanse of white. Huo Xian’s morning exercise turned into shoveling snow. He had to shovel the snow in the yard, as well as the snow on the road outside the gate. Laolao (Grandma) was old, and the snowy ground was too slippery.
[Huo Xian, I want to go outside and play.] Huo Yuan remembered the snowball fight scenes in the many dramas he had watched and suddenly wanted to play.
Huo Xian didn’t refuse, but walked back into the house and said to him: [I’ll take you out to feel the temperature first.]
Cats are warm-blooded animals and are afraid of both cold and heat. Even though Huo Yuan was a long-haired cat, he was still a kitten. So when Huo Xian took him outside to feel the cold air, he immediately shivered and burrowed into Huo Xian’s clothes, saying pitifully: [It’s so cold.]
Huo Xian smiled, rubbed his little head through his clothes, and said gently: [You’d better stay inside. I’ll come back after I clear the snow.]
When he entered the door, he met Laolao . Seeing the cat in his arms, she nagged: “Why are you taking the cat outside? Cats are afraid of the cold. Do you want to freeze it into a cat-sicle?” As she spoke, she took Huo Yuan from him.
Laolao didn’t object to Huo Xian raising a cat, but she didn’t like it much either. Her generation had lived through hard times. In an era when people could barely feed themselves, it was hard to imagine the idea of keeping pets. Even if they did keep pets, they were dogs to guard the house and cats to catch mice. Raising a cat that needed to be fed well and even needed cat litter to poop? It was said to be some kind of pedigree cat that cost a lot of money. If Huo Xian weren’t her grandson, she would have scolded him until he cried.
Fortunately, although Laolao muttered complaints, she still cared about Huo Yuan the cat in her actions. Laolao could knit sweaters. While knitting a big red sweater for Huo Xian, she also knitted a small sweater for Huo Yuan and a cushion stuffed with cotton for him to sleep on. Unfortunately, Huo Yuan could wear the sweater, but he only used the cushion occasionally when resting. At night, he slept in Huo Xian’s bed.
Because he was busy shoveling snow, rearranging the room, and installing the internet cable after returning home, he missed a few days of streaming. When he started the game again, his game graphics had taken a qualitative leap.
Last month’s tips from the Qingguo platform had arrived, a substantial amount. It not only allowed him to buy a gaming laptop and streaming equipment but also pay back the 3,000 yuan he owed Zhao Xiyou and the 12,000 yuan for the cat to Yin Pei. Although his bank card balance was back down to three digits, he wasn’t worried. His streaming income on Xianyu was even more considerable.
As soon as he started streaming, the fans who followed his stream immediately flooded in, and then were hit by a beauty attack.
Normally, low-pixel cameras come with a soft light filter that makes people look better. The higher the definition of the lens, the more it acts like a magic mirror revealing one’s true form, a mirror that many celebrities dread. But the high-definition lens fully displayed Huo Xian’s handsome features.
【Yuanyuan’s Boyfriend is so handsome today! I’m dying ahhhhhh!】
【What kind of godly looks does my boyfriend have? I-I-I-I-I’m so moved!】
【Mom asked me why I’m kneeling and licking the screen.】
【Streamer, tell me what brand and effect filter you’re using. I want to buy one too.】
【Sponsor Son: Streamer got a new computer? Can you stream the game in HD starting today? Are you streaming the Level 60 advancement dungeon today?】
【…】
Huo Xian ignored the pile of face-licking and sarcastic comments, simply saying: “I’ve been getting used to the game’s HD graphics and the new computer and mouse for the past two days. I’m pretty familiar with them now, and my level has gone up. Today I’ll try soloing the Level 60 advancement dungeon.”
【Are you really going to solo it? Don’t do it, streamer. All the streamers who tried to solo it before failed miserably.】
【’Blood Demon Pool’ is truly the most difficult advancement dungeon so far, bar none!】
【The streamer next door fought for a full five hours and didn’t pass. He almost quit the game in anger.】
【The one with the fastest progress seems to be Bu XX. He got the boss down to 10% health. He’s also very good, plays Wan Jian Sect like the streamer, their skills are comparable, and he’s also very handsome!】
【Bu XX? Is it the new streamer Bu Yiyi recently signed by Qingguo? I like him too, he’s so cute.】
【Hey, hey, you in the front, don’t spam other streamers in Yuanyuan’s Boyfriend’s stream. Bullet chat etiquette, OK?】
【…】
Huo Yuan had been staring at the bullet chat. Seeing someone spamming “Bu XX,” he reminded Huo Xian: [Bu Yiyi is Zhao Xiyou’s nickname. He’s doing very well on Qingguo now.]
With skills, experience as a former professional esports player, interactive ability, and good looks, he naturally did well.
[Yuanyuan, help me check the points to note for the Blood Demon Pool.] Huo Xian said to Huo Yuan.
He didn’t grind to Level 60 until yesterday. He wasn’t in a hurry to go to the advancement dungeon, nor did he look at guides. But Level 60 was a major watershed in Immortal Realm . If you didn’t pass the advancement dungeon [Blood Demon Pool], any quests and mob grinding would no longer increase experience. Once you passed Level 60, new quests and maps would open up.
Of course, getting the tribulation item from [Blood Demon Pool] wasn’t particularly difficult; teaming up to clear it was no problem. But ever since he became popular with the trial ground video, the recording of his solo clear of the Level 10 [Wild Wolf Cave] also became popular. Most players now knew that soloing advancement dungeons gave extra attribute point rewards. Players who didn’t care about extra attribute points didn’t mind, but players who wanted to increase their combat power for “tribulation” later on didn’t want to miss even a single attribute point.
So currently, streamers streaming Immortal Realm were all trying to solo [Blood Demon Pool] in various ways. Although it was the same streaming content, the streamers enjoyed streaming it, and the audience enjoyed watching it. There was even a faint competition among fans, and someone opened a betting thread on the forum, betting on who would be the first to succeed.
Huo Xian had also been in the spotlight during the few days he wasn’t streaming, but unfortunately, he was completely unaware of it.
“Without further ado, let me enter the dungeon and take a look first.” Huo Xian controlled his character to go to the dungeon entrance. However, before he could enter, the system warning sounded. The warning sound meant that a nearby player had activated Slaughter Mode. Players who activated Slaughter Mode could attack other players at will with half the PK value penalty, but correspondingly, the experience lost and equipment drop rate upon being killed were doubled. The higher the PK value, the higher the equipment drop rate.
It was unknown whether it was lucky or unlucky, but Huo Xian became the primary attack target of the player who activated Slaughter Mode.
The player who activated Slaughter was ID Nie Feishuang, sect Fei Yu Sect. Fei Yu Sect was a ranged physical sect, using bows and arrows as weapons. It was also the sect with the longest range in Immortal Realm , with high mobility. Its advantage was long range and explosive stationary output, while its weakness was few control and crowd control removal skills, making it miserable once closed in on.
When Huo Xian used the simplified version of the game, the skill effects were very perfunctory, but now with the improved graphics, the skill effects were clearly visible. He didn’t pay attention when he was first attacked, but when the second arrow came at him, he saw the green flowing arrow clearly. With a flick of the mouse, his character moved to the side, dodging the arrow attack, but immediately after, a third arrow came at him.
[Huo Xian, his target is you.] Huo Yuan said.
[En.] Huo Xian responded, raising his sword to meet the attack.
Seeing the sword cultivator approaching, Nie Feishuang immediately retreated to widen the distance. A skilled ranged player could kite an opponent to death, especially a squishy little sword cultivator with that thin health bar. Wasn’t he just asking to be attacked?
Unfortunately, Nie Feishuang kicked an iron plate.
To ensure sect balance, the short-legged Wan Jian Sect had pursuit and slow skills in addition to basic displacement skills. Agility was also linked to character movement speed, so after a few moves, he caught up with Nie Feishuang, then applied a slow followed by control. Seeing this, Nie Feishuang immediately used his crowd control removal. After removing the control, there would be a movement speed bonus, but it was offset by the slow effect, and Huo Xian had already stuck close to him.
The viewers in the stream only saw the red-named player constantly wrapped in silver light. Once the control effect finally wore off and he wanted to escape, he had no idea which direction to run. The sword cultivator he had picked on moved around him like an assassin, making him dizzy. When the slow effect wore off, his crowd control removal skill had cooled down, and he was about to slip away, but he fell to the ground after taking only one step.
Nie Feishuang: ???
Stream viewers: Streamer 666666
Huo Xian commented: “Players who don’t know how to play Fei Yu Sect are essentially wooden stakes.”
【Fei Yu Sect players feel offended】
【Although, but, the person the streamer killed was really a wooden stake】
【Don’t know where that person got the confidence to activate Slaughter, just this?】
【Front row watching the streamer crush noobs~~】
【The noob has become a dead noob, no challenge】
【Weakly saying, streamer same server, the one the streamer killed seems to be a member of our server’s toxic guild. The streamer killed him, I’m afraid he’ll be ganged up on】
【Which server is the streamer on? I’ll bring my guild to transfer servers to protect you!】
【Sponsor Son: Streamer don’t be afraid, son is here to support you, guarantee no one dares to touch you!】
【…】
Xianyu Live indeed produced many rich people. After coming to Xianyu, Huo Xian gained many wild rich fans, even able to compete with the top Sponsor Son. Uh, this Sponsor Son is the previous Sponsor Daddy. Since Huo Xian helped him pass the trial ground, he went from daddy to son. Sponsor Son gave him a big wave of gifts every day to defend his leading position.
Digressing…
“It doesn’t matter. If they want revenge, I’ll accompany them anytime.” Huo Xian’s tone was arrogant.
Huo Yuan couldn’t help reminding him: [You added too few points to Constitution, your health is too low, not enough to take a few skills.]
Huo Xian smiled: [After the Level 60 advancement dungeon, there will be the last two skills of the sword cultivator, ‘Return to Ruins’ and ‘No delusions’. The former is immune to all controls, the latter is defense. As long as I ensure no one can one-shot me, I can survive.]
[Your Agility points are almost at the limit of hand speed, and your Strength is not low now. Better allocate some to Constitution.] Huo Yuan was really worried that his health, which was only half of others’, would be wiped out in seconds.
[Okay, I’ll listen to my family’s Yuanyuan.] Huo Xian said dotingly.
Huo Yuan: […]
Although he couldn’t connect with human emotions now, he was an “old driver” who had watched countless dramas. Huo Xian’s words and tone were exactly like the domineering CEO in sweet pet novels who was cold and uncompromising to others but gentle and loyal to his wife.
Emmmmmm…
Huo Yuan pondered for a while and suddenly made a decision.
He jumped onto Huo Xian’s lap, stood up and tried to reach Huo Xian’s chin. Unfortunately, his body was still too short, and Huo Xian was tall, so he couldn’t reach it. He had to climb up Huo Xian’s clothes. Huo Xian couldn’t help but be distracted to look at him and asked with a smile: “What do you want to do?”
Huo Yuan didn’t answer, still climbing up. He didn’t dare to extend his claws, fearing he would hurt Huo Xian, but without extending his claws, he couldn’t hook onto Huo Xian’s clothes. How about jumping directly onto his shoulder?
Before he could put it into practice, he suddenly felt his butt being held and lifted. Huo Xian looked down at him and asked again: “Little ancestor, what do you want to do?”
What do I want to do? I want to exercise the rights of a boyfriend.
Huo Yuan held Huo Xian’s cheeks with two paws, leaned forward, and on his mouth… kissed and kissed again.
After kissing, Huo Yuan licked twice, then asked seriously: [Huo Xian, do you like me a little more?]
