Chapter 43 - The Empress's Followers Surpass Ten Thousand

“Alright, This Empress's stream ends here for today.”

“If there are any mortals who still have the courage to challenge This Empress, come back tomorrow. This Empress will be ready anytime.”

Around twelve o'clock at night, Long Yue bid farewell to the people in the stream chat and, perfectly content, turned off the stream.

It was only the first day, and she had already streamed for over ten hours.

During these ten-plus hours, she continuously interacted with the bullet comments while facing a never-ending stream of challengers. Although her shoulders and waist were a bit sore from sitting, she felt exceptionally fulfilled and satisfied.

Since arriving in this strange world, she had spent most of her time cooped up at home. The only one she could talk to was the Demon Sovereign, and she felt as if she couldn't integrate into this world.

Now, sitting in front of the computer, she could interact, chat, and play Go with mortals from all over, which made her feel very fulfilled.

In the past, on the Immortal-Demon Continent, she had almost never spoken with mortals. She never expected that talking with these mortals would be quite interesting…

Especially seeing them flustered and exasperated, yet completely helpless against her~

If only the Demon Sovereign hadn't stuck his oar in and caused trouble, it would have been even better…!

At this thought, Long Yue's gaze suddenly hardened. With a swish, she snapped her head around to stare at Lin Fan, who had just returned through the doorway. Her gaze was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.

Her record today should have been a perfect string of victories, if it weren't for that one loss to him in Gomoku!

Lin Fan completely ignored her resentful glare and lifted the beef chow fun he had just bought.

“I bought beef chow fun, want some?”

“Yes!”

Long Yue replied without a second thought.

Anger is anger, but one still has to eat!

Just now, she was so focused on the stream that she hadn't bothered with lunch or dinner, and now her stomach was completely empty.

At the dining table, Long Yue held the beef chow fun and wolfed it down. A look of approval couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

This thing called beef chow fun tastes really good!

So beef can be stir-fried to be this tender. It seems I'll have to consider raising some cows in the Immortal Realm in the future...

By now, the night had deepened. Zhou Yan had already gone home, and it was back to just the two of them in the room.

Lin Fan took a can of soda from the fridge, opened it, put a straw in, and handed it to her, casually asking:

“How did you feel about the stream?”

Long Yue took the soda and sipped it a couple of times, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she tilted her fine nose up with a smug expression.

“Not bad~”

“Although the things these mere mortals say are quite infuriating to This Empress, This Empress doesn't dislike it.”

“This Empress will conquer them one by one and make them submit wholeheartedly~!”

“That's good.”

Seeing Long Yue's face full of smug smiles, Lin Fan smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief and warmth in his heart.

The Empress's job was finally settled…

“Ooh!!”

Just then, while eating, Long Yue casually opened her streaming account and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

While Lin Fan was still confused, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly held her streaming account up in front of him.

“Demon Sovereign! Demon Sovereign! Look! This Empress's number of fans has surpassed 10,000!”

“Oh, it really has.”

Looking at the 10,000-plus followers on Long Yue's streaming account, Lin Fan also couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Today's streaming industry is already saturated to the point of being intensely competitive. New streamers usually find it very difficult to get attention and survive in the turbulent waves of the streaming trend.

It's no exaggeration to say that for the first month, or even longer, new streamers are in a pitiful state where only a few scattered viewers watch them occasionally.

Most streamers also rely on accumulating long streaming hours, slowly building up their number of fans bit by bit.

However, it was only Long Yue's very first day of streaming, and her number of fans had already successfully surpassed ten thousand people!

This was already an extremely remarkable achievement!

Back when he first thought of having her stream as a virtual streamer, he just felt that she would definitely be able to perfectly embody the "Empress" persona, and that the stream's performance would be quite good.

In the end, the actual performance of the stream far exceeded his expectations.

Besides her own perfect "Empress" persona, she also had deeply hidden, stunning painting and Go skills, which immediately created buzz and attracted attention.

Her interactions with the people in the stream chat also seemed effortless and natural.

Perhaps she really is exceptionally suited for streaming…

“Hmph hmph hmph, it seems quite a few mortals have already submitted to This Empress's charm and strength~”

“For mere mortals to have such discerning eyes is worthy of This Empress's praise. They have made the wisest choice of their lives, hahaha~”

Long Yue crossed her arms, unable to suppress the smile on her lips at all, and finally couldn't help but let out bursts of delighted, triumphant laughter.

“Did you see that, Demon Sovereign? This is This Empress's true strength!”

“Even here, This Empress has once again become an Empress revered by ten thousand people~!”

Lin Fan: “…”

“Empress, it's only ten thousand fans. In today's streaming industry, that's not considered much.”

Looking at Long Yue, who was so smug and complacent over a mere ten thousand fans, Lin Fan gave a helpless smile and casually searched for some other streamer accounts to show her.

“Here, look at how many fans they have.”

“A hundred thousand fans?! This one has five hundred thousand?! And there's one with a million fans...?!”

Seeing the enormous fan counts of other people, Long Yue couldn't help but be stunned into silence.

Originally, she felt that over ten thousand fans was an extremely remarkable number. After all, that was ten thousand people!

She never thought that compared to other streamers, her number of fans was simply insignificant…

“How do they have so many fans!?”

“High-quality streams, accumulation over a long period of streaming, and slowly the number of fans goes up.”

“I forgot to tell you, this world actually has several billion people. This number of fans is really nothing.”

“Some people even have tens of millions of fans following them.”

“Several billion people! Tens of millions of fans?!”

Long Yue's expression was one of great shock.

Previously, when she went out with Lin Fan, she had already felt that there were many pedestrians on the road and vaguely guessed that the population of this world should be quite large, but she still hadn't expected the number of mortals in this world to actually be as high as several billion!

And among them, there were actually people with tens of millions of fans!!

In the entire Immortal-Demon Continent, the three races—Immortal, Demon, and Mortal—all added together only amounted to a little over ten million people, yet the mortals here numbered in the several billions…!

Aren't there just far too many mortals here!

A blogger with ten million fans is equivalent to having the entire population of their Immortal-Demon Continent…

A mere mortal has more followers than the hundred-thousand-strong army of the Immortal Sects under her command…

At this very moment, a sense of defeat couldn't help but well up in Long Yue's heart.

A mortal's followers outnumbering hers, an Empress... What kind of situation is this...

If only she could get all the immortal citizens and subjects within the Immortal Realm to follow her account, she could also have millions of followers in an instant…

Long Yue thought with regret, but she quickly adjusted her mentality. Her eyes grew increasingly determined, the competitive spirit befitting the Empress burning fiercely within her!

“Hmph, it's just that they have a tiny few more fans than This Empress. Sooner or later, This Empress's followers will surpass theirs!”

Having said that, she put away her previous smug and complacent expression and quickly buried her head to polish off her food.

Lin Fan smiled without saying a word, quietly watching her as her fighting spirit was ignited.

Based on the strength and entertainment value she displayed today, he felt that it wasn't impossible for her to become a streamer with tens of millions of followers in the future…
