Chapter 857 – I Opened a Fake Live Stream (3)
Li Yun anxiously clenched his molars, looking as if his wife was in labor inside.
“Zixiao, Zixiao, will it hurt?”
Watching Wei Ci’s movements, Li Yun couldn’t help but occasionally gasp in surprise, his expressions overwhelmingly rich—completely absent of the fierce military general persona!
The stable hand felt he had never seen such bizarre sights: a strategist helping a horse give birth, and a once cold-faced military general turning into a naive sweetheart. So down-to-earth!
Wei Ci turned his head to Li Yun and said, “Step aside, don’t make a fuss here.”
Though Big White was extremely intelligent, the mare giving birth was no joke; the noisy environment would only hinder the process.
Scolded by Wei Ci, Li Yun quickly covered his mouth with both hands, his big round eyes full of silent grievance.
Wei Ci’s expression turned serious. If another month passed, the foal in Big White’s belly would adjust its position by itself, but he had just checked the position and found it wasn’t quite right. If so, no matter how hard Big White tried, the foal wouldn’t be able to be pushed out.
“Hang in there, it will be over soon.”
Wei Ci softly comforted Big White, who was restless and increasingly anxious, making frantic motions with her tail.
Not long after, Jiang Pengji got the news and hurried over.
Before she even arrived, she could already hear Big White’s whimpering sound.
“Big White!”
She called, and upon hearing the familiar voice, Big White whinnied in response.
Jiang Pengji pushed past Li Yun, who was blocking the gate, and caught sight of Wei Ci kneeling on the ground with his arms cradled, his clothes stained with filth.
Wei Ci had always liked cleanliness, so Jiang Pengji never expected he would disregard the dirt and personally help a horse give birth.
“Zixiao?”
Upon entering the stable, Jiang Pengji heard the commotion, and Wei Ci, not looking up, said, “My Lord, please help steady Big White.”
As the pain intensified, Big White might not recognize him, and if she started acting up, the situation would worsen.
“Got it.”
Jiang Pengji stood a little distance from Wei Ci. Big White leaned her head over to nuzzle her hand, seemingly expressing her grievances.
With Jiang Pengji present, Big White’s mood noticeably calmed, much to Wei Ci’s relief.
It was Big White’s first time being a mother, and with no experience, giving birth understandably proved more difficult.
Wei Ci focused on assisting her, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and flowing into his collar.
Just as he raised his hand to wipe the sweat with his sleeve, someone else had already wiped it away with a napkin.
“L-Lord…”
Wei Ci followed the hand, almost startled by Jiang Pengji.
“Just focus on Big White.”
Jiang Pengji withdrew her hand, as if the one who wiped his sweat wasn’t her. Wei Ci held back his words, feeling he had to swallow them down.
Just then, a crisp “ding-dong” sound echoed in Jiang Pengji’s mind, and a large system notification popped up.
【System Notification: Live stream integration is complete. Current level: Six. Live stream capacity: Eighty-five thousand.】
Under normal circumstances, a live stream reaching level six should have a capacity limit of seventy thousand.
However, Jiang Pengji had taken over another live stream and closed down that subsystem; the two live streams had merged.
The crossing girl’s seventy thousand limits combined with Jiang Pengji’s fifteen thousand limit meant the total capacity expanded to eighty-five thousand.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the button to start the live stream; it had turned from gray to green, indicating that the stream could now operate normally. Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Pengji felt today’s live stream comments would surely be fascinating—it might turn into a battlefield of sorts.
【Start Live Stream】
As Jiang Pengji “pressed” the button, the vibrant and spacious live stream screen suddenly unfolded, and, unsurprisingly, the audience limit changed to eighty-five thousand!
Less than a second after opening the stream, countless viewers flooded in, the once empty screen now filled with two colors of comments.
One was red, and the other was blue, with even the viewers’ IDs divided into red and blue.
【Si Nuo Si】: Good morning, streamer! The live stream opened so late today that the baby couldn’t focus at work.
【Qiong Bing Ju Wu】: Heard the stream was under maintenance and upgraded today, but why do I still feel it’s so hard to grab a spot?
【Ying Ya】: I feel the same; every time I try to grab a spot, it reminds me of the trauma of competing for seats in kindergarten.
【Luo Di Huasheng Tang】: Ugh, what’s going on today? What’s wrong with Big White? She looks pretty distressed.
【He Xu Mo Zuo Hun】: Ahh—Big White is about to give birth! Is Wei Ci really performing as the delivery man?
All the viewers pounded their chests, wondering why they didn’t have a boyfriend who could do everything except getting pregnant and giving birth!
【Mo Lingyin】: I’m so scared—look at the live stream limit, what the heck, it actually turned into eighty-five thousand!!!
This line stirred up a storm, and many viewers quickly switched their screens. Glancing at the number of online viewers, the glaring eighty-five thousand made their jaws drop!
They all knew about the maintenance and upgrade, but they thought that usually, an upgrade would only increase the limit by a few thousand.
Let’s not forget, when the live stream first appeared, the cap was a pitiful three thousand.
Back then, viewers jokingly referred to it as the “ancient era.” Anyone who managed to grab a spot during that time surely had trained their skills to the level of a mythical beast!
【Pu Ti Shu Xia Yi Li Sha】: I just checked, indeed eighty-five thousand, and even the comments turned red now.
Previously, they could only send simple white comments, but now they turned red… Wait, why are there still blue comments?
Many viewers were eager to try sending blue comments, but they couldn’t find the option to do so.
The entire江山 was wrapped in red; it looked so pretty, but unexpectedly, a number of blue comments popped up, making those with OCD feel uncomfortable all over.
Upon taking a closer look, those blue comments also seemed a bit strange.
【Ai Shang Fei Zhu Liu】: What the heck? Did the streamer change?
【Wo Yu Shi Tian Cao Di】: What’s going on, did the live stream get sold? Where did the previous streamer go? What is this place?!
【Kan Pian Jia Wo】: I didn’t enter the wrong live stream, what’s with this streamer?
【Bie Jiao Wo Da Xiong Di】: I came to see pretty women, not to watch two guys and a mare; what’s the deal here?!
In contrast to the overwhelming number of red comments, the blue ones were noticeably fewer, only one-third of the red.
【Shen Jia】: Are all of you new here? Our streamer has never changed, okay? If you’re going to slander, at least stick to the basic facts; it’s ridiculous!
The red and blue comments engaged in a heated debate while many blue comments were throwing insults. The comment section erupted into chaos.
Just then, a system task announcement popped up.
【Dance your beautiful dance, let your voice echo far and wide. Today, a viewer ‘I Have Money’ is requesting the streamer to perform a stunning dance, preferably without any clothing. Task reward: 9 luxurious private helicopters. The viewer ‘I Have Money’ quietly told the streamer: You must be a new streamer, right? Looks worse than the previous one. Let me teach you a thing or two: it’s all about looks—less is more, take it all off and you’ll look good. Even though you’re new, it’s fine, at least it’s fresh. I made a killing in the stock market today, might as well splash some cash for everyone to feast their eyes!】
