Chapter 720: Shattered Love, World-Level Special Live Stream |
After accepting the friend request.
Jiang Ran first sent a smiley face emoji to the other person.
Then, the other person also replied with a smiley face emoji.
Jiang Ran felt hopeful, so he typed to ask, "Do you need something from me?"
The other person replied, "Yes."
Jiang Ran's heart pounded wildly. "What is it?"
The other person replied, "I really like the outfit and shoes you're wearing. Could you send me the link so I can buy the same set for my boyfriend as a birthday present?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
That simple sentence.
Ah!
So it turned out he, this delusional and self-absorbed guy, had been overthinking things after all?!
Love is like the wind—it comes and goes. This kind of rhythm leaves you helpless and hopeless…
At that moment, Jiang Ran felt as if all strength had been drained from his body. He collapsed limply onto the bus's stiff seat.
It took him a full five minutes to recover before he raised his phone again and started searching for the shopping links to the outfit and shoes he was wearing.
Then, he sent them to that flight attendant.
After receiving the links.
The flight attendant replied with two words: "Thanks."
After that, complete silence.
And just like that, she became just another name in Jiang Ran's cold, empty friend list.
"Sigh. Indeed, one shouldn't indulge in fantasies. Once you do, when disappointment comes, it hurts too much."
Gazing out the bus window, Jiang Ran thought to himself.
…
The Black Software. Far Neighbor live stream game.
The Far Neighbor live stream game broadcasts for Hua Country and other countries had already begun.
This time, it wasn't an ordinary livestream. It was a special livestream.
The livestream rooms of all these countries had merged into a single broadcast.
People from various nations watching the livestream gathered together.
In the chat section of the livestream room, a lively chaos unfolded—text and words from countless languages scrolled across the screen.
The livestream screen now showed a broadcast studio.
This studio was filled with darkness.
Only the central area was illuminated by light.
And in that central area.
Was an electronic large screen.
On either side of the screen stood two stunningly beautiful women.
On the left was an Asian beauty with East Asian features.
On the right was a Western beauty with Caucasian features.
The woman on the left was the long-haired beautiful host of Hua Country's Far Neighbor live stream game.
The woman on the right was the beautiful hostess of America's Far Neighbor live stream game.
This American beauty hostess had long, wavy golden hair.
Her face and figure were flawless.
She was brimming with American flair.
If you looked closely at her features, you'd notice she bore a resemblance to that American actress—Anne Hathaway.
In short, both were absolute knockouts.
At that moment, the long-haired beautiful host from Hua Country spoke first.
Maintaining her signature pleasant hosting smile, she said in a soft, melodious voice, "Welcome, viewers from all countries, to today's special livestream."
"This special livestream is—World Level."
"The participating countries are as follows: Hua Country, America, UK, Germany, France, Maple Country, and Nigeria."
At this time, in Binhai City, Hua Country.
In a villa located in Binhai City's wealthy area, inside a locked room on the third floor.
The Ultimate Rich Kid—Lin Feng—was sitting completely naked in front of his computer, watching the livestream on the screen.
He had just been in another room.
With three female internet influencers, taking advantage of the fact that Wang Ziyi hadn't returned from the New Year yet.
Having a blast and living it up as an ambitious young man with lofty aspirations.
In truth, even if he were to fool around with other women right in front of Wang Ziyi, she wouldn't dare say a single word of objection.
But he simply didn't want Wang Ziyi to know that, while he was with her, he was also entangled with other women.
So, he took advantage of Wang Ziyi's absence to have his fun. However, after finishing up with the three female influencers, he suddenly remembered the preview on the Black Software—that the special livestream was supposedly starting around this time.
He rushed up to the third floor without even bothering to put on clothes and locked himself in a room.
All thanks to Wang Ziyi, he had to be this cautious. Just watching a livestream, he had to lock the door and watch it alone.
After all, he was terrified that if he didn't lock the door, those three female influencers might accidentally barge in, see something they shouldn't, and spread the word. Then he'd be in deep trouble.
As he watched this special livestream—not the Asian Level from last time but World Level—Lin Feng was filled with anticipation.
But when he saw that this so-called World Level special livestream only included Alice Apartments from seven countries, his anticipation dimmed slightly.
He recalled the Asian Level special livestream, which had only six countries. It seemed that terms like "Asian Level" or "World Level" were merely scope designations. How many countries' Alice Apartments would actually participate was anyone's guess.
Looking at these seven countries, Hua Country was obviously Asian. The remaining ones—America, Germany, UK, and so on—were all Western European and American nations. And the last one, Nigeria, was African.
Next, Lin Feng shifted his gaze to the chat section. Just like the previous special livestream, the chat section was a mess at the very beginning, filled with texts and languages from all over the world. But now, it had all been converted into the language of each viewer—fully machine-translated.
"Hey, Baobao, are you watching the livestream?"
At that moment, Lin Feng sent a WeChat voice message to Wang Baobao.
Wang Baobao replied quickly.
"I'm watching, I'm watching."
Hearing that his buddy was also watching, Lin Feng felt at ease and began to watch intently.
After all, he was now in sage mode—his heart as calm as still water. He could watch this special livestream without a single distraction.
In the livestream studio, after the long-haired beautiful host from Hua Country finished her speech, it was the American beauty hostess's turn.
This American beauty hostess naturally spoke in American English.
But, like the people in the livestream's chat section, her words were machine-translated into text prompts that viewers from each country could understand.
"Next, I will introduce this special livestream's lab rats."
"The following lab rats are listed in no particular order, with no ranking of high or low."
Before introducing the lab rats, the American beauty hostess suddenly added this sentence.
The reason she added this sentence was simple: this special livestream had only two hostesses—one from Hua Country and the other from America.
In previous special livestreams, all the hostesses from the participating countries were called to co-host together. But this time was different.
Only Hua Country and America were represented. With only two countries hosting, it naturally sparked discontent among viewers from other nations. Why could only the hostesses from your two countries preside over the broadcast when seven countries' Alice Apartments were participating? Why not ours? Isn't this looking down on us?
Some people in the chat section had already started arguing over this matter.
The American beauty hostess naturally couldn't explain the reason—she was just a hostess after all. So, afraid that even the order in which she introduced the lab rats might provoke these unruly viewers, she made a point to give that special warning.
