Global Live Streaming: From Streamer to Divine God

"Chang Fu, Bing Zitou, Palace of Gathered Elegance, Ren An Hall..."

In the courtyard, dozens of young eunuchs stood in two long, quiet, and orderly lines.

Under the eaves at the front of the line, the old eunuch calmly sat at the desk, with Little Guizi standing in front of him, while another eunuch called out beside them.

This was the allocation of response duties for the young eunuchs who had just entered the palace and had yet to be assigned specific roles.

"Xiao Lu Zi, why do you keep looking back? Be careful, or that smiling tiger will catch another of your mistakes..."

The residual pain still lingered at his fingertips, his body still damp with cold sweat, and upon being reminded, Li Xu involuntarily shivered. In his heart, he cursed and resented, but reality was stronger than he; he could only stand properly, forcibly suppressing the throbbing curiosity towards the live streaming interface.

Someone was there, watching my plight, experiencing this unbelievable moment with me!

This awareness left Li Xu unable to calm down for a long time.

On the live streaming screen, the subtitles rolled even more frequently:

'Why is there only video but no sound?'

'...I know, this must be a TV series shooting site!'

'Because it's being secretly done, so there's no sound?'

'It must be, damn, this kind of live streaming is a first for me...'

'This is interesting...'

'...why are there only 11 people? Wait, I'll call others...'

'......'

'Little cutie (Li Xu) is quite adorable, just not looking at the camera...'

'What's going on, which TV series is this?'

'No, it must be the shooting site of a TV series...'

'Nowadays, domestic dramas are using such evil methods for promotion, even using live streaming platforms...'

'A net troll spotted, come and watch...'

'I'm speaking the truth, look at American series, they all focus on the plot and script...'

'......'

'What shooting site, a boring shot needs to be filmed for over ten minutes, moreover, where are the crew, the director, the camera...'

'The crew and director surely can't be seen...'

'Isn't this a live broadcast, isn't it secretly filmed?'

'I said it was weird earlier, and you all insisted it was a shooting site...'

'...Anyway, the more I watch, the weirder I find it!!!'

"Li Erniu, Ding Zitou, Shou Chun Palace, Jiao Tai Hall..."

One young eunuch in front of Li Xu stepped forward and received a dark wooden tablet, thus, the assignments and destinations for most people for the next few days had been settled, and it was finally his turn.

"Lu Chun, Bing Zitou, Jade Screen Palace, Shufang Palace..."

Shufang Palace, First Attendant Chun!

Having learned from just now, Li Xu had lost any interest in getting involved in the plot; he finally realized that this was not the time for leisurely sightseeing, this was the Imperial Palace, a court that devoured people.

A war among a group of women, cruel, without smoke of gunpowder!

Real, at least to him now, not the original novel he had read, not the popular TV series, but a real world based on it!

His concern now was only the live stream screen behind him, and the three tasks he needed to complete to escape this type of space.

First: Make oneself whole.

Second: The number of viewers exceeds one hundred thousand.

Third: Accumulate the energy resources needed to upgrade the live streaming room and unlock the next Plot World.

Apart from the first task, which was closely related to the Plot World, the second and third tasks were about finding ways to attract more people into the live streaming room instead of engaging them in the world's story mode.

No matter how bizarre, in the early stages, Li Xu was just the host of the Spirit Live Streaming Room. Although unconventional and "supernatural," he still had to perform his primary duties as a host. He needed to interact frequently with the audience, helping them quickly understand what he was experiencing and what they were seeing, sparking their immense curiosity and attention, creating a tremendous buzz and sensational effect in reality…

Li Xu stepped forward and took the dark wooden plaque, and as he looked up, he met Little Guizi's gloomy triangular eyes, "Damn it, this bastard really looks like a venomous snake, he's got his eyes fixed on me… Looks like I need to find a way to shake him off,"

No matter what he felt inside, Li Xu dared not show any signs of it outwardly. He smiled "humbly," bowed, lowered his head, and turned around…

"Xiao Lu Zi, wait a moment…" The old eunuch suddenly opened his eyes, "Mistress Chun from the Shufang Palace in the Jade Screen Palace has recently become very favored by His Majesty and Concubine Wan. You and Little Guizi must handle your duties attentively, make sure there are no mistakes, understand?"

"I will carefully follow Great Grandfather's instructions…"

Li Xu was a beat behind before he said, "Yes, yes, I… understand!"

The old eunuch nodded, waved his hand, and closed his eyes again.

Once he stepped out of the small courtyard, he was met with the outside world's majestic and splendid beauty.

Immediately, Li Xu felt a noticeable flicker of light and shadow behind him on the streaming interface. Not just the real-world viewers, but even Li Xu himself was overwhelmed by the impressive reality and grandeur of the Imperial City!

"What are you dazing at, move it!"

Once out of the courtyard, the usually imperious Little Guizi became much more modest and humble. They hurried along, sticking to the left side of the wall, making way in the middle of the busy, broad road amid people dressed in various servant uniforms, inconspicuous among them.

Li Xu followed closely behind him, keeping his head down and shoulders slumped, slightly leaning forward, his gaze fixed on the paving stones ahead, no longer daring to look elsewhere!

Solemn!

Formal!

Quiet!

Silent!

People came and went, those arriving kept to the right and those leaving kept to the left. The spacious, straight, and even main road was not dared to be walked on by anyone.

No one supervised, but everyone passing by, whether eunuchs or palace maids, regardless of their status or duties, showed the same behavior.

This sort of head-down hurrying only paused briefly when someone of sufficiently high status passed by, either making a deep bow or stopping by the wall, humbly standing until the higher-ranking person had left, then resuming their previous manner.

Rules!

"Hiss~~~" Li Xu's right thumb hurt again.

No doubt, no filming set could achieve this level.

Besides failing to reach such a scale, the crucial part was the atmosphere, this marrow-deep order, and the respect and deference that stifled one's breath!

When Li Xu's pounding heart calmed down, he had reached the end of the long corridor. Suddenly, the silence and order were broken as he entered a vast "factory."

Countless palace maids endured the severe cold, dressed in plain white dresses, toiling over objects that needed to be washed.

The beating of clothes, the splashing of water droplets, the maids' panting…

The overseer's scolding, the beatings, the humble pleas, the sobbing…

Within the icy water, red, cracked, swollen palms moved, and the cold air couldn't stop the steam and heat rising from their bodies…

This was the Labor Camp!

Being there, Li Xu instantly understood what this place was. Words from the past, remote and strange, now turned into massive impacts, shocks, and reality, stupefying him!

Actually, it wasn't just him; the virtual live streaming interface behind him had also fallen into a stunned silence.
