Chapter 748: Never A Girl Fan In This Life...
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The bullet screen became more and more perverted…
Liu Zilang had never heard of those characters. However, he thought that they would not be anything decent since the viewers were getting more and more excited as they chatted.
He resolutely changed the topic.
"Anyone at the venue would like to meet up?
"Where"s everyone?"
His questions caused another increase in activity on the bullet screen. The messages began to come in more frequently than before.
Many people shared their locations on the bullet screen. They mentioned something about "H1", "H2" or "H3"…
Those were the numbered entrances of the venue. It looked like there were many fans present.
Liu Zilang quickly decided on a meeting spot.
He might not have been able to handle the two to three brawny men in the crowd, but if he had numbers on his side, it would be different.
Under everyone"s watchful eyes, he did not believe that anyone would gang up on him.
…
Liu Zilang escorted Zhang Xiaotong and Misaka Mikoto to the cosplay section.
He took a peek inside and saw many anime characters that came to life. Many pretty girls were in strange costumes that one would not find on a typical day.
He averted his eyes and coughed. "Ahem, how about you two go in first? I"m going to meet some fans from my channel."
"Ah? s.h.i.+fu, you"re going to meet with your fans?" Misaka Mikoto asked.
"Yup, just going to say hi," Liu Zilang replied.
Misaka Mikoto immediately looked worried. She spoke with a serious face, "Then please be careful, s.h.i.+fu. I"ve heard that there are many perverts kidnapping male streamers these days. It"s scary!"
"Kidnapping.. .male streamers?"
Black anime lines appeared on Liu Zilang"s face.
He noticed that Zhang Xiaotong was sneaking looks at him. He immediately puffed up like a bodybuilder, striking a pose that showed off his imaginary biceps as he grunted.
"Don"t worry, the fans from my channel are all nerds. Even if they come at me four or five at a time, I can wipe the floor with their faces," Liu Zilang said with confidence.
"Wow, s.h.i.+fu, you"re so amazing!"
Misaka Mikoto sounded genuinely impressed. She walked closer to him and then poked his imaginary biceps with her finger. She chuckled to herself.
"Hmph, you only know how to boast," Zhang Xiaotong said as she pouted and grumbled. She then turned around before heading inside.
Liu Zilang rapped Misaka Mikoto"s head with a knuckle.
"This silly disciple can"t give me a break!"
A few days ago, she was Lin Daiyu, but she had suddenly become Mo Xiaobei… 1
…
They parted ways after that.
Zhang Xiaotong and Misaka Mikoto headed to the cosplay changing room, while Liu Zilang proceeded to the Marvel section to meet up with his fans. Liu Zilang was still holding his selfie stick.
There was a slight time delay on his live-stream, and he did not stop moving within the arena. The people tuned in to his channel could not gank him even if they wanted to.
However, the situation was different when Liu Zilang reached the appointed meeting place.
Liu Zilang stood on the spot, waiting. Around him, several people holding on to their smartphones appeared. They were all carrying backpacks.
They looked at their smartphone screens and then lifted their heads to look at Liu Zilang who was standing there.
The crowd gathered around him. Forty or fifty people formed a circle around him. However, no one dared to take another step forward.
It looked like a scene out of a Chinese martial arts movie: Kungfu masters from all over surrounding the evil leader of a cult. However, no one made a move. It was the calm before the storm.
Liu Zilang could not hold back his laughter when he saw how no one approached him. They had said on the bullet screen that they were going to gank him like a pack of wild dogs.
In real life though, they were shy and reserved, like a pack of poodles.
The crowd felt at ease when they saw Liu Zilang laugh. Everyone stepped forward at the same time to greet him.
Immediately, sweat fell like rain.
Fortunately, the security staff in the arena had been keeping an eye on this congregation. They swiftly maintained order and cleared a path for Liu Zilang to escape from being mobbed.
Liu Zilang breathed a long sigh of relief. After that, it was like a "Procession of Ghosts".
Liu Zilang led the way, in his hand a selfie stick. Behind him was a throng of fans and followers, parading the walkways like migrating crabs.
The viewers in the live stream channel started an intense discussion when they saw the huge crowd gathered behind him.
"F*ck! Where are the cute girls I was promised?"
"What kind of jinx is this? Just a bunch of gays?"
"I don"t want to see any guys! Give me some girl fans!"
"The guy above me, wake up! Why would you think Vic would have any girl fans?"
"I can"t believe it! This must be an elaborate scam! Where are all the people who baby talk in the channel?"
"Hey, gotta survive in the live stream channel right? Who doesn"t know how to speak in baby talk these days?"
"…"
Liu Zilang was unaware of what was happening.
After seeing the messages on his bullet screen, he did not believe it. Then, he turned around to see if it was true.
The crowd of fans and followers behind him had also been tuning in to the live-stream. They knew what he was looking for.
Since they were now familiar with each other in real life, everyone burst out laughing. They told Liu Zilang not to daydream.
He would not have any female fans.
Not for the rest of his life.
Liu Zilang did not believe it.
"Hua Xia is the most populous country in the world. Even if there might be an imbalance in the ratio between genders, it can"t be that everyone here is a guy!"
On the live stream of his smartphone, he noticed ten or so girls in a scattered formation behind the crowd.
Or, more precisely, they were following the back of the crowd.
The arena was crowded, and his throng of followers even more so.
Liu Zilang had not noticed this phenomenon earlier. He looked again and confirmed his initial guess. The girls were definitely his followers!
Liu Zilang cackled in his heart when he arrived at this conclusion. He did not immediately point it out to them, but rather deliberately talked into the live stream. "You really believe that I don"t have any girl fans, right?"
After he had finished speaking, not only did the people in the live stream start laughing but also the crowd behind him began laughing out loud.
"Girl fans? They don"t exist."
"Wake up, Vic. Wake up and face reality!"
"I know you can"t take it, but it"s the cold hard truth."
"Little bro Vic, if you want a girl fan, I can somehow fit in a dress. I can even do baby talk!"
"Wow! A crossdresser bro!"
"…"
Liu Zilang knew that he could not remain silent, seeing how the conversation was diverting into nonsense.
Without giving anything away on his face, he calmly spoke, "How about we bet that I can"t find ten girl fans in one minute?"
"Sure! What do you want to bet? Just say it!"
"Turtles! Ten girl fans? This fella is still dreaming."
"Any volunteers to p.i.s.s on his face? He needs to wake up badly."
"I"ll start first. If it doesn"t work, you all can continue the job."
"…"
Liu Zilang was p.i.s.sing himself with glee when he saw how confident his fans were.
On the surface, he remained composed. "I"m known to be a rational person. I wouldn"t come up with outrageous requests, like, whoever loses will have to call the other party "daddy". We"re all civilized people, and I know that you won"t be able to take it if you lose."
Everyone was riled up since Liu Zilang had thrown the gauntlet. Who would have dared to chicken out by then?
"It"s a deal!"
"Whoever chickens out is a dirty coward!"
