【*: He’s getting extra training. I’ll continue managing the livestream in the meantime.】
After saying that, Five Stars fell silent again.
The chat went completely quiet.
Only a handful of viewers sent popcorn and drama-watching emojis.
Xie Zhengxing was stunned as well.
Normally, she was the only one who could kick people out of the livestream with a thought.
This was the first time she had seen someone besides the system with administrator-level authority.
She quietly asked in her mind,
“System, System, what’s going on? Why can someone else take over your permissions?”
The system quickly replied.
【The livestream firewall is functioning normally. No permissions have been transferred. High-level user “” possesses StarNet’s highest administrative authority. The personal StarNet account of user “Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate” may be managed in its entirety by user ““.】
Xie Zhengxing immediately understood.
As expected, “*****” had an extraordinary identity.
Judging from everything that had happened, Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate worked under him.
Rather than saying the livestream had kicked Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate out, it was more accurate to say that in that higher-dimensional world, Five Stars possessed complete authority over Boss Ha’s personal account.
As long as her beloved system had not malfunctioned, Xie Zhengxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a system notification floated across the screen.
【User “Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate” has entered the livestream.】
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate: Streamer, you have no conscience! I’ve donated so much, and you actually kicked me out! My sincerity was wasted!】
【Awake at 3 A.M.: Boss Ha, blame the right person! It was your boss who kicked you! Xingxing is innocent!】
【Xiaoxiao: I can testify! Boss Five Stars personally said you’re getting extra training.】
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate: Extra training for what? We just finished special training! We’re on a month’s vacation! The boss must’ve made a mistake!】
The moment he finished typing, the awe-inspiring ID appeared once again.
【*: Really?】
Just two simple words.
Yet everyone watching inexplicably felt a chill run down the back of their necks—
Everyone except the blockhead known as Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate: Yes, Boss! Absolutely! There’s definitely no mistake!】
The reply was nothing more than a symbol.
【*: ^-^】
【User “*” has left the livestream.】
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate: …What does that smiley face mean?】
The chat fell silent.
Then everyone collectively began mourning Boss Ha.
【Little Cabin: Silly kid… that’s the smile of death.】
【Riding Grandma Across the Galaxy: You hopeless rookie. Didn’t you hear the hidden meaning behind the boss’s words? What he meant was: “You think you’re on vacation? I think you need extra training. Starting immediately.”】
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate: Huh?】
【Even Dogs Get Kicked While Passing By: Publicly contradicting your superior. Boss Ha, what a warrior.】
【Xiaoxiao: Lighting a candle for Boss Ha.】
Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate never replied again.
Moments later, another notification appeared.
【User “Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate” has left the livestream.】
Xie Zhengxing was completely numb.
Looking sorrowfully toward the sky, she asked,
“So… in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, I lost two Big Bosses. Is that what you’re telling me?”
【Eaves: Yes.】
【A Salted Fish: Judging from the situation… that’s exactly what happened.】
【Who Do You Think You Are: Streamer, don’t cry. The haters will laugh.】
Cry?
What a joke.
She, Xie Zhengxing, had climbed from being a tiny Streamer all the way to becoming a top Streamer.
What storms hadn’t she weathered before?
Big Bosses came and went.
A Streamer endured forever.
The sadness vanished from her face.
Brushing her hair back with a smile, she said,
“When the old ones leave, new ones arrive… Ahem, no—that’s not right. Work comes first. Come on, my beloved Consorts. Let’s continue our grand gossip expedition.”
Moving as lightly as drifting smoke, she stealthily approached the Cave Residence.
Following Falcon Eye’s analysis, she swiftly climbed an ancient tree thick with lush branches.
She had only just found the perfect branch to squat on when the Cave Residence’s protective formation shimmered.
Chu Moyun stepped outside.
Immediately afterward, the horse-faced girl in the red dress hurried out after him, tears streaming down her face as she reached for his sleeve.
Chu Moyun frowned and brushed her away.
The girl tearfully pleaded about something.
Looking slightly impatient, Chu Moyun raised a hand toward her shoulder, seemingly intending to steady her.
【Who Do You Think You Are: What are they saying?】
Keeping her voice low, Xie Zhengxing provided live commentary.
“Based on my many years of reading trashy Tomato novels, their conversation right now probably goes something like this: Chu Moyun is telling her to leave, she refuses, and the two begin arguing and pulling at each other…”
At that very moment—
A third figure silently appeared at the edge of the clearing.
She wore flowing layers of lavender gauze, the shades shifting elegantly in the moonlight.
Her jet-black hair was casually gathered using nothing more than a withered vine branch.
A crimson jade safety pendant with tassels hung from her waist.
Her features were exquisitely beautiful, yet impossibly cold—as though carved from frost and snow, or like a solitary orchid blooming upon a lonely cliff.
She stood quietly beneath the moonlight.
Xie Zhengxing’s eyes lit up.
Excitedly, she whispered,
“Audience Bosses, please pay attention! Our key character, Luo Jingxin, has arrived! The classic melodrama is about to begin! She saw them! She misunderstood! She came! She came! She came carrying a slap!”
【Big Sis, Step on Me: Holy crap! So that’s the love-brained Female Lead? Does someone that beautiful actually exist?! She’s so ethereal she’s practically overflowing out of the screen!】
【I’m Totally a Sis Simp: Goddess, please kill me! With that face and that aura, who even needs a man? Xingxing, hurry and convince her to focus on her career!】
Luo Jingxin’s gaze shifted between Chu Moyun and the girl in red.
The watery softness in her eyes froze into shattered ice.
She strode forward.
Smack!
The crisp slap echoed throughout the forest.
Chu Moyun’s head turned sharply to one side.
A bright red handprint quickly appeared upon his pale, handsome face.
He pressed his lips together, looking at Luo Jingxin with a complicated expression.
Yet…
He offered no explanation.
Luo Jingxin looked at him deeply.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment and pain.
Without another word, she turned resolutely away.
Stepping onto her flying sword, she transformed into a streak of violet light and disappeared into the night sky.
【Awake at 3 A.M.: You’re not even chasing after her?! You damn idiot! Is your mouth just decorative?!】
Lying flat against the tree branch, Xie Zhengxing shook her head knowingly.
Keeping her voice low, she spoiled the plot for the audience.
“I guarantee it based on my experience reading three thousand trashy Tomato novels. Not only is he not going after her, but he’s about to enter the classic ‘rebellious spite’ phase. Since she refused to listen to his explanation, he’ll deliberately invite this horse-faced little sister—the one he was planning to send away—inside to ‘sit down for a while’ just to make Luo Jingxin angry.”
【Eaves: No way… That’s way too cliché!】
The chat collectively expressed disbelief.
Then, almost as though the universe wanted to prove Xie Zhengxing’s professional judgment correct—
Chu Moyun coldly flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked toward the Cave Residence.
Just as he reached the entrance, he paused.
Turning his head, he said something to the horse-faced girl.
She froze for a moment.
Then delight flashed across her face.
Without hesitation, she hurried after him into the Cave Residence.
Buzz.
The great doors shut behind them.
The livestream chat went silent for a brief second.
Then it exploded.
【Big Sis, Step on Me: HOLY CRAP! SHE’S A PROPHET! Somebody stab me already!】
【I’m Totally a Sis Simp: As expected of insane-male-lead literature. Instead of using his mouth, he’d rather use his legs!】
Xie Zhengxing slapped her thigh.
“There it is—that familiar recipe guaranteed to give everyone a headache.”
With the show temporarily over, she nimbly leaped down from the tree.
A faint glow flashed from the bracelet on her wrist, stabilizing her landing so she touched the ground without making a sound.
Patting off imaginary dust, she smiled brightly at the camera and waved.
“Alright! Frontline gossip reporter Xiao Xie is officially calling it a day. Thanks to all the Bosses in the Top Ten rankings for your support, and thanks to everyone who’s been keeping me company. Good night, everyone~”
The chat immediately filled with reluctant protests.
【That’s it already? Xingxing, go look at the Female Lead a little longer!】
【The nightlife has only just begun!】
【Even the production team’s donkey doesn’t get this much rest!】
Pressing her palms together in a pleading gesture, Xie Zhengxing laughed.
“It’s already dark. Your Streamer has been broadcasting at full intensity all day and is exhausted enough to become a dog. Please spare this poor little donkey.”
She made a finger heart toward the camera and winked.
“See you all tomorrow. Muah!”
The livestream cheerfully faded to black.

Her hard work streaming all day had truly paid off.
The harvest was enormous.
After returning to her disciples’ courtyard, Xie Zhengxing immediately distributed the Hair Growth Serum to fans reading the novel before taking out every bottle of both the Lifespan Gene Enhancement Serum and the Physique Gene Enhancement Serum and drinking them all.
The moment the two kinds of serum entered her body, she could clearly feel herself becoming much stronger.
She quickly opened her personal status panel.
【Original Host: Xie Zhengxing】

Xie Zhengxing glanced at the bed inside her room.
After all, she already had a much better bed now.
She no longer needed this one.
Why not use it to test her newfound strength?
Stretching out one hand—
She effortlessly lifted the entire bed.
Throwing it into the courtyard, she clenched her fist and punched with all her strength.
CRACK—!!
The sturdy wooden bed instantly exploded into countless broken planks.
Xie Zhengxing stared at her own fist in astonishment.
“…I’m freaking awesome.”
Meanwhile…
Under the bright moon, inside the Lingxiao Hall of the Shanghui Sect.
Elder Sun stood before Sect Master Yin Changsong with a stern expression as he made his report.
“That Outer Sect servant named Xie Zhengxing used some unknown trick! She’s merely an early Qi Refinement disciple, yet she actually defeated a Great Perfection Qi Refinement disciple and earned a place on the Main Peak!”
