Chapter 180 : Popularity Value Increase, Mission Complete
180: Popularity Value Increase, Mission Complete
When the setting sun dyed the western sky of Su City red at 7 PM evening,
During this time period, aside from some thoroughly black companies and shift workers, most working people and students had entered their rest and relaxation time.
After working all day, ordering takeout that was time-saving, effort-saving and disposable, getting a fatty petit bourgeois milk tea, blowing ice-cold air conditioning, opening their little phones, browsing short videos, watching live streams—this was the daily choice of many workers and college students.
Thus, 7-10 PM on weekdays unknowingly became the golden time for the streaming world.
Countless streamers would choose to start streaming during this period with the highest traffic.
After returning home and finishing dinner at seven o'clock, with Su Mo agreeing to live stream, Lin Muyao also decided to join the streaming army.
Because Lin Muyao had been super busy recently—going to Su City, devouring Su Mo and being devoured by Su Mo, plus filming all day today.
After 3-4 days without streaming, Lin Muyao returned to her familiar room and logged into her Bilibili account, only to discover her originally one million followers had risen to 1.15 million after these two days of fermentation, adding over a hundred thousand fans.
Having more fans already surprised Lin Muyao, but opening the backend surprised her even more. Unlike the usual daily 999+ private messages after logging on, her account now had 9999+ four-digit message numbers.
Randomly clicking on one or two, most people were curious about her relationship with Su Mo.
Facing this question that couldn't be avoided during the upcoming stream, Lin Muyao thought of a reasonable explanation.
That was claiming she and Su Mo already knew about her girl identity when they started dating, bringing out the initial 'shield' theory.
As for what happened during that day's stream, although Lin Muyao really wanted to admit she did kiss.
But thinking this stream would be watched by her father, mother and brother, live on-site viewing.
Honestly saying she liked the girl Su Mo, without proper buildup, would very likely result in being broken up by her parents.
After much consideration, Lin Muyao reluctantly decided to explain it as borrowed positioning filming effects.
However, explanations aside.
But there was one point Lin Muyao didn't plan to deny—that she was Su Mo's girlfriend.
After all, Lin Muyao could now feel Su Mo's charm and knew she had many rivals.
Not only countless boys wanting to pursue Su Mo, but also three young beautiful girls with various advantages.
Lin Muyao didn't want to give up the 'wife' title and push her soft little husband into others' arms!
Having sorted out her streaming thoughts in her heart.
Lin Muyao looked at Su Mo sitting beside her.
Smelling Su Mo's unique fragrant scent, feeling her body's wooden stiffness from nervousness, looking at Su Mo's fair pretty face with exquisite features.
At this moment, Lin Muyao only felt it was very magical. Just over ten days before the stream.
Her little husband was still a somewhat weak-looking boy, but now had become a super beautiful girl.
Saying this was the same person, probably even her past self wouldn't believe it!
This experience of husband becoming wife was really quite magical when thinking about it!
However, recalling the super comfortable feeling of devouring Su Mo, Lin Muyao didn't find it disgusting.
After briefly reflecting internally, Lin Muyao soon clicked start streaming under Su Mo's gaze.
As a million-follower UP host on Bilibili, although many of Lin Muyao's fans were bought with Lin Zhongtian's money.
But Lin Muyao still had the presence a million UP host should have. With the stream starting, Lin Muyao quickly appeared on Bilibili's recommendation page.
Perhaps because Su Mo had made quite a stir recently—first Su University's school rules, then yesterday's "July Lie Love Song" promotional video—countless netizens were extremely curious about Su Mo.
With Su Mo's girlfriend Lin Muyao's stream starting.
Four-digit viewers immediately flooded in.
After viewers saw the short-haired girl Su Mo appearing in the camera with Lin Muyao, countless comments went wild.
"Um, so this short-haired one is Su Mo?"
"How many beauty filters are on? This is too good-looking!"
"Above poster, fun fact: Campus Belle Lin's stream only has a tiny bit of whitening, no beauty filters."
"Ah, I don't believe it. Unless you send the short-haired beauty over, I'll check carefully. My address is..."
"Hello 110? Police uncle, yes, I'm reporting..."
...
Su Mo looked at screen after screen of scrolling comments, dense like the finale celebration scene when "Blue of the Sea" ended, countless times denser than the last stream.
The discussion content and direction were still about her. Seeing this scene, it was impossible for the naturally introverted Su Mo not to be nervous.
But fortunately, having been constantly under cameras filming recently, her courage had grown somewhat compared to before.
Moreover, Su Mo had carefully observed the comments. Perhaps due to the 'Heartthrob Aura''s subtle influence.
Unlike last stream's aggressive comments, this time most comments had no malice, more curiosity about herself.
Seeing this, Su Mo relaxed somewhat.
Lin Muyao, sharing a stool with Su Mo, personally felt Su Mo's body relax a bit, then began her opening remarks.
"Hello everyone, it's been a while, I'm Lin Muyao. The person beside me you should all recognize—my boy-friend Su Mo who danced with me. Come say hello to everyone!"
With Lin Muyao's cheerful, natural introduction, plus Lin Zhongtian's wealthy purchase of several super expensive screen-dominating gifts, the stream's viewer count quickly reached ten thousand, still increasing by three digits per second.
Looking at increasingly numerous viewers sending comments, Su Mo soon gathered courage, waved her little hand, and said softly:
"Hello everyone, I'm Su... Mo.Mo."
But perhaps due to nervousness from too many people and being watched by father-in-law, mother-in-law and big brother-in-law behind her.
When Su Mo was shyly waving her pale little hand introducing herself, she accidentally bit her tongue.
Thinking about embarrassing herself in front of so many people, plus the stinging pain on her tongue tip, Su Mo directly triggered 'Grievance Package.'
On her pure white little face, delicate features lightly furrowed together, moist eyes misted with light fog, tender nose tip also carried a faint blush from grievance emotions, combined with Su Mo's weak petite posture.
This pitifully adorable grievance scene directly made the comments quiet for two seconds.
The next second, an unprecedented volume erupted.
"This woman is mine now, draw your sword, Lin Muyao."
"Ugh, biting tongue so cute, come to my arms, I'll help lick the wound."
"Why is this wronged acting so cute? Can such a delicate soft girl really pretend to be a boy?"
...
Lin Muyao looked at the increasingly heated comments.
Looking at the wildly rising likes, saves and little hearts, if it were before she would definitely laugh happily.
But now, Lin Muyao only felt her mood was complex.
On one hand, Lin Muyao felt owning Su Mo made her very happy—that was an experience like boys finding super beautiful girlfriends, satisfying self-esteem.
On the other hand, thinking Su Mo was her husband, now her fans were all coveting her husband.
Su Mo felt incredibly angry.
After all, no one in this world wanted to display their treasure for the world to see.
Originally Lin Muyao planned to chat nicely with fans, then have Su Mo show talents.
But now seeing this situation, some people were even starting 'Mo Mo wife' comments.
For this, feeling her head very heavy, Lin Muyao after brief consideration, to make Su Mo end the stream quickly, after simply replying to 'couple questions' and warming up the atmosphere, seeing netizens asking about Su Mo's hidden identity, went straight to the point:
"I see everyone's very curious how Su Mo exactly hides and becomes a boy. Actually, I'm also curious. How about demonstrating live?"
Hearing Lin Muyao's direct words, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh in relief.
After all, streaming really wasn't her specialty.
She didn't even know what to say?
Just sitting in front of the camera was already mentally exhausting, not even knowing where to put her hands.
How to describe that feeling?
Like when teachers called you to do math problems on the blackboard during school—clearly you didn't know how, yet had to force yourself to think in front of the whole class.
But unlike the 'problem' of streaming, possessing 'Twilight Disguise Technique' and mastering various makeup knowledge, Su Mo faced makeup topics.
She was much more confident. First, she knew this problem. Second, when performing makeup she just needed to focus on makeup without worrying about what comments said. Most importantly, after finishing makeup, she could exit her Wife Muyao's stream as previously agreed.
Thinking makeup completion = liberation, Su Mo's mood became cheerful. Her earlier grievance expression quickly cleared up like weather, a sweet smile bloomed on her fair little face, somewhat excitedly taking out cosmetics Lin Muyao had prepared early at the vanity table, saying spiritedly:
"Muyao... then I'll, start now."
The girl's eyebrows curved, skin like snow, crystal crimson lips revealing a sweet relaxed smile, showing neat little white teeth and two sharp little fangs, on her delicate exquisite cheeks symmetrical shallow dimples appeared on both sides.
Looking at Su Mo's naturally playful smile, live stream netizens were amazed.
Lin Muyao, directly facing Su Mo's pure smile, felt somewhat dry-mouthed. Along with this heated feeling came an extremely strong impulse to conquer and destroy.
Feeling this impulse, looking at the already darkened sky outside, Lin Muyao silently made a decision.
Looks like today Su Mo would probably sleep in her family's guest room.
Then tonight, let's have a night raid. Just wake up early tomorrow morning.
Just as Lin Muyao was secretly planning all this, Su Mo had already taken out numerous cosmetics.
Under 'Twilight Disguise Technique's' enhancement, Su Mo's tender white little hands were flexible like a magician's.
Clearly these were cosmetics she'd just encountered, yet in Su Mo's hands they were like old partners.
Fang Qing, who had been watching from outside the camera, was also stunned seeing Su Mo's pale little hands move so quickly.
You know, as a girl and actress constantly dealing with cosmetics, she wasn't this skilled.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing with her natural female love of beauty also took a stool, walking beside Su Mo and Lin Muyao to observe, also entering the live stream camera.
As a former Best Actress winner, Fang Qing being Lin Muyao's mother wasn't secret in Lin Muyao's stream.
But many viewers who came to see Su Mo, newly arrived at Lin Muyao's stream, were still excited seeing former big star Fang Qing.
Gifts streamed endlessly. With Fang Qing's arrival, the stream's viewer count began another dramatic increase, reaching the 30,000 mark.
After simply greeting the live stream netizens.
Compared to the live stream, Fang Qing was more curious about Su Mo's operations, asking:
"Little Mo, can you explain the principles behind each makeup step?"
Facing the future mother-in-law who had just given her food and helped remove her sack, speaking gently.
Su Mo didn't hide anything, slowing down her color mixing slightly while explaining:
"Perfect B01 foundation tends toward gray and is matte-like. Combined with Chanel 138 foundation, it creates a light black color. Of course this isn't natural. If we add..."
Su Mo spoke slowly, but her hands moved quickly. Almost every time she finished mentioning a cosmetic.
The next second that cosmetic would appear on her face, with visible slight changes.
Initially, during the first few items, viewers watching Su Mo's makeup thought it was showing off.
Because Su Mo's female appearance was too stunning—disguising as an ordinary boy seemed impossible!
But gradually, as over ten minutes passed and skin tone, eyelashes, fake nose strips, lips... dozens of disguises were completed, though not yet finished, the makeup's effects were already visible.
Because Su Mo's makeup wasn't just makeup—it was complete face-changing!
Those who didn't know would think it was a completely different person. When Su Mo also drew a realistic male Adam's apple outline on her neck and put on loose outerwear, ending this transformation show.
At this moment the live stream atmosphere reached unprecedented heights.
Just as Su Mo, having completed both explanation and streaming dual tasks, left Lin Muyao's streaming room to go to the bathroom to remove makeup, a notification suddenly rang in her mind.
[Ding, congratulations host, popularity value increased. Current popularity value 50,000/50 million. Already completed one thousandth!]
Hearing her sister system's notification, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
Already 50,000 so quickly?
The growth trend was quite good.
But one thousandth still felt like the goal was too distant.
Just as Su Mo faced the soaring popularity value, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The next moment, another notification rang in her mind.
[Ding, congratulations host for completing special repeatable mission 'I Am A Streamer'. Detected 51,562 people noticed host's novel performance.
