Chapter 12 - How To Do Your First Public Debut

"Okay so I downloaded Youtube for you... And with this code that the government sent when you registered as a player... Your Youtube account should have a [Player] checkmark that enabled monetization.... Click this and that..."

While describing the ins and outs of livestreaming to her younger brother, Li casually asked:

"Why are you suddenly interested in livestreaming?"

Hearing Li's question, An suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Tam about his monologuing and his needs for quick cash.

"You should try livestreaming!" Tam said, on the way down the mountains.

"?" An asked,

"It's... Uh- You don't know what that is? You can make money off of it, and we're Players and stuff so it's easier too. This girl in France already made millions of USD. The public is still curious about this form of entertainment"

Snapping back to reality, An turned to Li and answered,

"Money, I want a house for you and to bribe people if necessary."

"Don't you mean for us? You won't be away forever right?" Li corrected him.

"I'll try."

"... That wasn't reassuring at all."

Li frowned all disappointed, think how An usually would just spew some lies to ease her worries... He was more positive and energetic, well, that was before he Awakened.

Li felt warmth around her shoulders as An wrapped his hands around her for a hug.

"What is it now?" She asked.

"Can you explain the whole livestreaming thing again? I didn't understand anything..."

"Oh lord..."

...

[LIVE STARTED]

"Alright, so when that red circle is beeping, that means the wholeeeee word can see us. Mostly other Vietnamese though because of region lock but it's available."

Viewer count: 12

"Okay and what do we do next?" An asked.

"I don't know... What do you want to show the world?" Li said.

Viewer count: 12 > 8

[Are these two both players?]

[Nah I just check the registry, I think it's only the taller guy]

[Boringgggg, at least livestream yourself beatin' a wolf or something like what Francine does]

[Hey that girl kinda cute tho, just need to get her hair tidy up a bit]

"I just figured I can tie the camera to my chest and grind levels." An-swered

"That's a good idea!"

Viewer count: 8 > 3

[No that's an unoriginal idea dude]

[Do they even know where to read chats?]

An sighed, standing up, still all confused about all these technology lingo thingy, he needed to clear his mind for a bit.

"Anyways, I'll go to the store, do you need anything?"

"Oh, get some eggs, I'll make some scrambled for breakfast tomorrow. My purse's on the table." Li answered, "Thank you, little bro~"

Viewer count: 3 > 5

[Hey I don't think these guys know that we're watching]

[Should someone tell them?]

[How?]

[Well, sending gifts does make a buzz on their phone lmao]

[Demonstrate, Einstein]

"Alrighty~"

Li stood up and stretched, completely oblivious to the fact that An's phone was still on the table, looking directly at her.

"Let's catch some sleep before dinner... Then I'll mop the floor and laundry should be dried by then... yawn."

She jumped on the couch, placing both hands on her stomach, a disney-princess sleeping pose, and just closed her eyes... 5 seconds passed and she was already snoring.

Suddenly, a voice can be heard.

"Li, I'm home."

Li woke up from her small 15 minutes nap and rubbed her eyes, wiping her drools.

"Oh hey An... Uh, oh right, laundry... laundry."

Half groggy, she grabbed the phone nearest to her to check the time.

Viewer count: 24.443 > 50.235

"KYAAAAAAAA?!"
