Chapter 6: Gained a Disciple
==============================
Within the Small Cave Heaven.
The netizens erupted the moment they saw Strong Brother shamelessly kneeling before Little Musashi.
Trash Dog-Head Strong Brother!
Do you realize you’re challenging the entire player base?
Aaaah! Little Musashi, don’t accept him,
he absolutely has malicious intents!
Who would have thought… the Strong Brother I’ve always admired has fallen to such a point of sweet-talking! He’s clearly trying to lower Little Musashi’s guard little by little, scheming for something foul!
Burn him!
Burn him!
…
Little Musashi’s fans couldn’t stay seated any longer, flooding the live streaming room with整齐整齐宣判整齐整齐 (neatly整齐整齐 sentencing整齐整齐).
But for Strong Brother, these mental attacks were like a mere tickle, not even worth a fart.
His gaze towards Little Musashi through the dog-head mask grew even purer and more determined.
Cold Little Rain awkwardly stood to the side as numerous b*llet comments flooded her live streaming room.
“Little Rain Sister, chop off his dog-head, and a large rocket will be yours!”
“I’d sponsor too! Two large rockets!”
“Three large rockets, only for the d*ath of dog-head!”
Before Cold Little Rain could respond, several large rockets already ascended on screen and received countless praises from the netizens.
Caught between a friendship tested by life and d*ath, and a huge financial bait, Cold Little Rain admitted she felt so torn.
Luckily, Little Musashi didn’t give her too much time to think it over.
“Taking a disciple? Uh-uh, I’ve just graduated myself, I wouldn’t know how to teach anyone.”
Little Musashi nervously flailed her hands as if the very thought of Strong Brother becoming her disciple was absolutely unacceptable.
“No no no, you don’t have to personally teach me,
I’ll be more than content just serving around you, master!”
Strong Brother repeatedly bowed loudly, a risky move.
In the game, it was indeed difficult to be a successful streamer.
Upgrade Maniac, who originally became famous as a star streamer of “Heavenly Domination,” had his own advantages and luck. He was the first to meet Cold Moon Witch, then accompanied Gongsun Ding from Thousand Bird City to White Feather City, gaining enough attention and popularity.
Later on, the meteoric rise came from Firefly of the Heavenly Sword Sect, again, because her exclusive broadcasts of the sect’s real-time battles made her an overnight success in the live streaming circles.
And wasn’t this another turning point for him?
Little Musashi came from the mysterious Ji Shen organization, led by none other than Cold Moon Witch, the feared yet revered leader in the gaming community.
It had been proven that any streamers related to Cold Moon Witch would become famous.
And already, a large number of viewers had flooded both his and Cold Little Rain’s streams, drawn by their interactions with Little Musashi, easily breaking the million mark in no time.
Though the initial excitement was invigorating,
how long would their streams stay this hot without any association with Little Musashi?
The answer, obviously, was no.
Thus, regardless, he had to establish some connection with Little Musashi before they parted ways—even if only symbolic.
This way, his future broadcasts would gain more traction, and viewers would continue to buy in.
Besides, having an NPC girl as a master was an achievement worth boasting about in the future. Many players would surely be jealous enough to explode.
Strong Brother continued kneeling.
Cold Little Rain felt increasingly awkward,
but she soon resisted the lure of the many big gifts flooding her stream, showing the smart thinking common among female streamers.
If she were to help Strong Brother succeed, there was no doubt he would remember her in the future.
“Musashi Sister, see how sincere Strong Brother is, why don’t you just take him in? Though we are still relatively weak, we will eventually meet your standards.”
Seeing Cold Little Rain come to his defense, Strong Brother gave her a grateful look.
“Though I’m unworthy, my contacts within the human cities are extensive. Your Ji Shen team in the mortal realm is small, probably not exceeding twenty people, but it’s vast and gathering intelligence won’t be easy.
But your humble servant is rather skilled in that,
and I will be able to meet your needs.”
Ahh! This guy’s just shameless!
Brothers, hear me out, no one give Strong Brother any info!
Grass! Who among the players doesn’t have this kind of ability? What a big face!
Despite the collective bombing from netizens, Strong Brother maintained an unperturbed look, gazing at Little Musashi more earnestly.
Perhaps his words worked, Little Musashi appeared hesitant.
After a while, Little Musashi finally nodded helplessly.
“Well, I suppose you’ll have to tag along, uh… though I really don’t know how to teach anyone.”
Strong Brother’s heart rejoiced as he performed three more loud bows.
“Disciple Xiao Qiang pays respects to Master!”
Little Musashi helped him up, her earlier unease fading.
She solemnly said, “Though you’re now part of my sect, this doesn’t mean Ji Shen has accepted you. At least the captain has to approve.”
Strong Brother nodded vigorously, “I understand, please let the organization test me!”
Frankly, Cold Little Rain was a little envious.
She could clearly feel their relationship grow closer. Master-disciple relationships in the ancient times were almost equivalent to father-son bonds.
Still, she couldn’t bring herself to be as shameless as Strong Brother. Goddess’ dignity held her back.
Perhaps in the future, she could only cling to Strong Brother’s success tightly, hoping he wouldn’t forget her help today.
The cries from players in the live streaming room filled the air.
It was as if Strong Brother had already extended evil hands around Little Musashi’s neck.
“Master, what do we do next?”
Strong Brother perfectly played the role of the obedient sidekick.
Little Musashi looked around.
They were now in a dense forest where sunlight barely reached the ground. Accompanied by a chilly breeze, it felt rather desolate.
“Let’s quickly scout the area. Our location is directly below the Land of Flowing Sand. The members of Ji Shen may not be far from us.”
“Okay!”
Having just become a disciple, Strong Brother needed to be proactive.
He boldly led the way, walking for several minutes before looking back only to find Cold Little Rain by herself.
“Eh-eh-eh? Where’s the master?”
Cold Little Rain was startled too, “She was behind me, but I didn’t notice.”
“I’ve forgotten my master’s bad sense of direction!”
Strong Brother regretfully slapped his thigh.
The two immediately retraced their steps to find Little Musashi’s trail.
Sure enough, not too far from where they started, they found a faint, slanted footprint.
Following the tracks with urgency, they finally found Little Musashi squatting at the edge of a cliff.
“Master!”
The moment Strong Brother called, Little Musashi turned and made a gesture to be quiet.
Sensing something was amiss, the two slowed their steps, quietly approaching behind Little Musashi and following her gaze. What they saw was a girl picking mushrooms from a rotten tree root below the cliff.
Even more surprising,
her head bore a pair of fluffy ears.
Monster Race?
Beast-Eared Girl!
The viewers couldn’t help but explode.
Seriously, Strong Brother, if you dare to have ill-intents toward this wild beast-eared girl, just wait till we get our hands on you with the ten great tortures!
