Minutes gradually became hours and hours became days.
Within the Virtual Mastery Room, days seemed to stretch into months.
Mu Wanqing threw herself completely into her studies.
Her original purpose had been simple enough: reach the first milestone as quickly as possible and obtain the reward promised by the system.
But somewhere along the way, that purpose quietly changed.
One topic followed another.
The lessons continued without end, and Mu Wanqing showed no sign of wanting to stop.
At first, System 888 had been delighted.
Then it became concerned, and eventually, it became downright anxious.
At one point, unable to bear watching her continue indefinitely, System 888 secretly contacted Teacher Xu.
[Teacher Xu, let my child take a break]
Teacher Xu did not even look away from the blackboard.
Her expression remained as stern as ever.
[If a student is genuinely motivated to learn, interrupting her enthusiasm unnecessarily would be foolish.]
System 888 nearly malfunctioned.
[But she has been studying for a month already!]
Teacher Xu finally turned around.
Her sharp eyes fell upon the invisible presence of the system.
[She is not exhausted.]
System 888 fell silent.
Teacher Xu was right.
Mu Wanqing was not exhausted.
If anything, she seemed more energetic than before.
She had gradually forgotten that she had entered the Virtual Mastery Room because of a mission, forgotten about the milestone.
Somewhere during those endless lessons, Mu Wanqing had discovered something she had never expected.
She had begun to enjoy mathematics.
No, infact enjoy was no longer the right word.
She had become addicted to it.
There was something strangely satisfying about staring at a problem that initially appeared impossible, breaking it apart piece by piece, discovering the hidden logic beneath it, and finally arriving at the answer.
When she solved one difficult problem correctly, she immediately wanted to solve another, and then another.
It was as though every successful solution opened a new door in her mind.
At first, Mu Wanqing would struggle.
She would stare at the paper for long periods, trying to understand where she had gone wrong.
Teacher Xu would stand behind her like an executioner waiting for a prisoner to make a mistake.
Occasionally, the wooden ruler would strike the desk beside her hand and Mu Wanqing would grit her teeth and continue.
As the lessons continued, another change gradually took place.
Teacher Xu stopped carrying her wooden ruler everywhere.
At first, she had used it constantly.
Now, it remained mostly forgotten on the podium.
Mu Wanqing had improved too quickly.
The girl who had initially struggled with basic approaches was gradually becoming capable of analysing complex problems independently.
System 888 watched all of this with undisguised pride.
One day, it quietly opened Mu Wanqing’s personal panel.
Her Intelligence attribute had risen from 72 to 75
System 888 stared at the number for a long time.
Then, somewhere deep within its imaginary consciousness, it felt something suspiciously similar to parental pride.
[As expected of my daughter.]
Mu Wanqing, who was currently solving a particularly complicated problem, immediately frowned.
“System, stop distracting me.”
[Your father is merely encouraging you.]
“I never officially accepted you as my father.”
[Too late.]
Mu Wanqing’s lips twitched.
She wisely chose not to argue.
During the entire learning period, she allowed herself only one proper break, during Lunch.
Even then, she did not truly rest.
While eating the meal prepared by her butler, she scrolled through mathematical problems and solutions on her phone.
When the butler finally left the room, she immediately returned to the Virtual Mastery Room.
Until, eventually, the final topic of the mathematics curriculum came to an end.
Mu Wanqing finally placed her pen down.
Teacher Xu looked at her, “Learning the theory is one thing.
Applying it under examination conditions is another.”
She raised one hand.
With a wave of her fingers, three examination papers appeared on Mu Wanqing’s desk.
“Mock examinations,” Teacher Xu said.
Mu Wanqing picked up the first paper.
Each examination was worth one hundred and fifty marks.
The first mock examination was relatively straightforward.
Of course, straightforward was only relative.
For an ordinary student, it would still have been an extremely challenging paper.
But Mu Wanqing had already spent an enormous amount of time solving problems far beyond the standard high school curriculum.
When she completed the paper, Teacher Xu checked her answers.
For once, there was a faint change in her expression, “Full marks.”
Mu Wanqing blinked and smiled.
The second examination was placed before her.
This time, however, the difficulty increased sharply.
The questions had been adapted from advanced mathematical competitions and challenging international examinations like IMO, MAT, AIME, JEE and STEP.
Mu Wanqing’s expression gradually became serious.
She spent considerably more time on several questions.
But eventually, she completed the paper.
Teacher Xu evaluated it, “One hundred and forty-eight.”
Mu Wanqing frowned, “Where did I lose the two marks?”
Teacher Xu pointed at her paper, “You made careless mistakes.”
Mu Wanqing stared.
She had written the wrong unit in one answer and made a minor calculation error in another.
Her face immediately darkened.
“Careless mistakes are still mistakes,” Teacher Xu said coldly.
“Do not let good ability make you arrogant.”
Mu Wanqing immediately straightened, “Yes, Teacher Xu.”
Then came the third examination.
The moment the paper appeared on her desk, Mu Wanqing’s eyes widened.
She slowly turned toward Teacher Xu, “Teacher Xu…”
Teacher Xu stood beside the podium, her posture perfectly straight, “These questions come from an advanced civilization.”
Mu Wanqing stared at her.
For the first time in a long while, she genuinely did not know how to respond, “An advanced civilization?”
Teacher Xu nodded, “I do not expect you to receive full marks.
Give it your best effort.
If you can properly analyse and solve even half of these problems, then the mathematics section of your upcoming Gaokao will no longer be something you need to fear.”
Mu Wanqing looked down at the examination paper.
Advanced civilization?
The phrase filled her with curiosity.
So there were truly other civilizations in the universe?
For a brief moment, her imagination ran wild.
What would happen if someone discovered that she possessed access to knowledge from another civilization?
Would she be captured?
Experimented upon?
Locked inside some secret research facility?
Every terrible science-fiction movie she had ever watched suddenly flashed through her mind.
Mu Wanqing immediately shivered, “No.
Absolutely not.”
Teacher Xu looked at her, “What are you muttering about?”
“Nothing.” Mu Wanqing immediately lowered her head.
Then she began the examination.
The first question alone made her dizzy.
She read it once, twice, five times, ten times.
By the twentieth reading, she finally began to understand what the question was asking.
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath.
Then she began.
One question at a time.
Sometimes she would spend a long period simply trying to understand the structure of a problem.
Sometimes she would write several approaches before crossing them all out.
Teacher Xu did not interrupt her.
She merely watched.
Time passedband eventually, Mu Wanqing placed her pen down, “It is finished.”
Teacher Xu took the paper.
For the first time since Mu Wanqing had entered the Virtual Mastery Room, the stern woman remained silent for an unusually long time.
She checked the answers carefully, then she looked up.
Teacher Xu than turned the paper toward her.
Mu Wanqing looked down, and her eyes widened, “Sixty-two marks?” She looked back at Teacher Xu in disbelief.
Teacher Xu nodded slowly, “To be honest, I did not expect you to achieve this result either.”
Mu Wanqing’s mouth fell slightly open.
Teacher Xu placed the examination paper aside, “You have demonstrated something more important than the score itself.
When faced with unfamiliar questions, you did not panic.
You analysed the information.
You tried different approaches.
You understood what the problem was asking before attempting to solve it.
That ability is far more valuable than simply memorizing formulas.”
Mu Wanqing’s expression slowly became serious.
Teacher Xu continued, “The Gaokao will not contain questions from an advanced civilization.
If you can handle these problems, then you are ready to face the mathematics examination.”
Mu Wanqing felt something warm rise within her chest.
Teacher Xu looked at her sternly, “Do not become complacent simply because you have performed well.”
“Yes, Teacher Xu.”
“Continue practicing.
I expect you to perform well.”
Mu Wanqing’s eyes gradually reddened.
She stood from her seat.
Then, without hesitation, she bowed deeply, “Thank you, Teacher Xu.” Mu Wanqing remained bowed for several seconds.
When she finally raised her head, she found herself looking at the middle-aged woman differently.
When she had first arrived, she had wanted nothing more than to finish mathematics as quickly as possible and escape from this terrifying teacher.
Afterall she had been strict, unforgiving and sharp-tongued.
But now…
Mu Wanqing felt unexpectedly reluctant.
She opened her mouth, “Teacher Xu, actually, I…”
Snap!
Teacher Xu snapped her fingers, “No emotional farewell drama and all, get lost.”
Mu Wanqing disappeared from the old-fashioned classroom in the blink of an eye.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying beneath the magnificent ceiling of the Presidential Suite.
For several seconds, she simply stared upward.
Then she heard laughter inside her head.
[Child, that Xu woman is really something.
By now, you should understand that Teacher Xu does not like unnecessary emotional drama.]
Mu Wanqing slowly turned her head, her face twisting in displeasure, “You think my emotions were drama?”
[I did not mean that, Child.
I was merely amused by Teacher Xu’s reaction.]
“Humph.” Mu Wanqing turned her face away.
System 888 quickly continued, trying to repair the situation.
[Besides, that woman has always been like this.
When I first approached her and requested that she become your instructor, she rejected me immediately.
She looked at me and said that I was merely a newly activated system what kind of host a new system could possibly select.
But eventually, I convinced her with my ability to convince.]
Inside the Virtual Mastery Room, Teacher Xu, gave a cold snort, “Your ability to convince people?
More like your ability to ramble endlessly for hours until the other person wishes for death.”
System 888 pretended not to hear her.
Instead, it continued enthusiastically praising itself before its daughter.
[You see, Child?
Your father has many excellent qualities.
Negotiation is merely one of them.]
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, “Please stop praising yourself.” But despite her annoyance, she still felt a strange sense of reluctance.
She had spent three entire months with Teacher Xu inside the Virtual Mastery Room.
The realization still felt unbelievable.
Outside, only thirteen hours had passed.
Inside the Virtual Mastery Room, however, three months had gone by.
Mu Wanqing slowly sat up and stretched her arms, “I still cannot believe that I studied continuously for three months and strangely enough, I don’t even feel tired.” If anything, she felt refreshed.
System 888 immediately replied.
[Of course you feel refreshed.
Your physical body has been resting the entire time.]
A smile slowly appeared on her face, “That really is like cheating.
With this cheat ability, ten days should be more than enough for me to prepare for the Gaokao.”
System 888 immediately became serious.
[Yes, but Child, you must still be persistent.
Afterall this is already the maximum level of time compression that I can provide within the Virtual Mastery Room.
I set it to the highest possible level this time.]
Mu Wanqing became curious, “What is the maximum limit?”
[One hour in the real world is equivalent to one week inside the Virtual Mastery Room.]
Mu Wanqing thought about it for a moment, Then she nodded, “That is already more than enough.” than with a smile she lay back against the bed.
System 888 suddenly became quiet, for several moments, then it spoke again.
[Child.
You forgot to ask about the reward.]
Mu Wanqing immediately sat upright, “Ah!” She slapped her forehead, “How could I forget about that?”
System 888 sounded deeply offended.
[Exactly.
Your father worked extremely hard to apply for that reward.]
Mu Wanqing immediately ignored the last sentence, “System, did I reach the first milestone?”
[You reached it a long time ago and even received the notification.
However, you were in the middle of solving the mock examination papers and were completely focused on the questions.]
Mu Wanqing tried to remember.
Then she murmured thoughtfully, “I vaguely remember hearing a notification…
Forget that.
System, stop keeping me in suspense.
Tell me what the reward is.”
System 888 was about to answer when someone knocked her bedroom door.
She glanced toward the entrance, “Come in.”
The door opened and her personal butler entered the room and gave her a respectful bow, “Miss Mu.”
Mu Wanqing looked at him curiously, “Yes?”
The butler straightened, “Miss, there is a delivery waiting for you downstairs.”
Mu Wanqing frowned, “A delivery?
But I didn’t order anything.”
The butler’s expression remained perfectly professional, “Nevertheless, the recipient’s name is yours, and your signature is required before the items can be released.
The delivery personnel are currently waiting downstairs.”
Mu Wanqing was still trying to understand the situation when System 888 suddenly spoke inside her mind.
[Child.
Go downstairs and collect it.
That is your reward.]
Mu Wanqing’s eyes instantly lit up.
She quickly stood from the bed, “Let’s go.”
The excitement in her voice was impossible to hide.
After all, this was not an ordinary reward generated randomly by the Main System.
System 888 had personally applied for it.
What exactly could it be?
Meanwhile, downstairs at the entrance of the Bvlgari Hotel, a young girl who appeared to be no older than nineteen stood near the entrance with her head lowered.
Her cheeks were round and soft, giving her an innocent appearance that contrasted sharply with the nervous expression in her eyes.
Standing before her was a middle-aged woman wearing thick-framed glasses.
The woman had clearly been lecturing her for some time, “Rain, listen carefully to what I am saying.”
Rain lowered her head even further, “Sister Cui, I understand.”
“No, you do not understand.” Sister Cui pushed her glasses upward, “If you understood, you would not refuse gifts from your viewers.”
Rain’s cheeks immediately turned red, “Sister Cui, I just feel uncomfortable asking people for money.”
Sister Cui sighed, “Little ancestor, who is asking you to beg?” She lowered her voice, “People choose to watch livestreams because they enjoy them.
Some viewers are willing to send gifts.
That is how this industry works.
Those gifts are one of the main ways livestreamers earn money.”
Rain remained quiet.
Sister Cui continued patiently, “Some people would bow three times and burn incense if it meant receiving more gifts from their wealthy viewers.
And here you are, pushing money away as though it is something poisonous.”
Rain looked even more embarrassed, “Sister Cui, I…”
Seeing the guilty expression on the young girl’s face, Sister Cui’s heart softened slightly, “Rain, everyone needs to earn a living.
You cannot block the river that is feeding you.” She pointed toward the magnificent hotel behind them, “Today, you need to be a little more enthusiastic.”
Rain followed her finger.
The enormous lobby of the Bvlgari Hotel stretched before her in breathtaking luxury.
Everything looked expensive.
Even standing there made Rain feel as though she might accidentally break something worth more than her entire year’s income.
She swallowed nervously.
“Sister Cui…
couldn’t we stream somewhere else?”
Sister Cui frowned, “Why?”
Rain looked toward the hotel again, “This place is too expensive.
My livestream is supposed to be about affordable food around Shanghai.
Most of my viewers are ordinary people.
They watch me because they want to know where they can eat good food without spending too much money.”
Her eyes became slightly troubled, “How can they afford to eat here?”
Sister Cui shook her head, “Today’s livestream is different.
This was arranged with senior management.
You are one of our company’s most popular food livestreamers.
The wealthy viewers who follow your channel have repeatedly requested more high-end food reviews.
Today is for them.”
Rain frowned slightly, “But…”
“Listen to me.” Sister Cui’s expression softened again, “You do not need to change who you are.
Just review the food honestly, the same way you always do.” She adjusted Rain’s collar affectionately, “Whether the food costs twenty yuan or twenty thousand yuan, good food is still good food.
And wealthy people enjoy watching other wealthy people spend money.
Money attracts money.
That is simply the way of the world.”
Rain could not completely agree with that logic.
But she trusted Sister Cui.
Among all the managers she had encountered in the livestreaming industry, Sister Cui had always treated her well.
Rain had personally seen how some agencies treated their streamers.
Some managers were willing to exploit young livestreamers without hesitation.
They pressured them into humiliating themselves for gifts.
Encouraged them to create scandals.
And in some cases, pushed them toward far more unscrupulous methods simply to attract wealthy patrons.
Sister Cui had never forced Rain to do anything like that.
She could be strict, but she had always protected her and Rain understood that.
So she finally nodded, “Alright, Sister Cui.”
Sister Cui checked her watch, “It is time.
I will be standing nearby,” Sister Cui said.
“Keep your earpiece on.
If you need anything, I will speak to you through it.”
“Okay.” Rain took a deep breath.
She pulled out her phone.
Her makeup had already been carefully prepared, hair was perfectly arranged.
Under the warm lights of the hotel entrance, her youthful face looked bright and charming.
She opened her livestreaming application and pressed the button, LIVE.
The viewer count immediately began to rise.
Rain’s nervousness disappeared almost instantly.
A bright smile appeared on her face.
She raised one hand toward the camera, “Hello, hello, hello, my little food hunters!” Her cheerful voice immediately filled the livestream, “Your Rain is finally here!”
The comments began flooding the screen.
(RAIN!
YOU FINALLY CAME BACK!)
(IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS!
WHERE DID YOU DISAPPEAR TO?)
(OUR FOOD FAIRY IS BACK!)
Rain laughed happily, “Aiya, look at all of you complaining already!” She playfully pointed toward the camera, “It has only been two days since our last livestream, and you are acting as though I disappeared for an entire year.”
The comments increased even faster and the streamer count immediately reached 23 thousand viewers.
Rain smiled brightly, “But I missed everyone too.” She dramatically spread her arms, “So today, your Rain has returned with another food adventure!”
She paused.
Then her expression became mysterious, “And today’s destination is a little different from usual.”
The camera slowly turned.
The magnificent entrance of the Bvlgari Hotel came into view.
Rain lowered her voice dramatically, “Today…
your Rain has somehow wandered into the territory of the truly rich.”
The livestream instantly exploded.
(What?!)
(Is that Bvlgari hotel in Shanghai?!
(Rain, did you win a lottery?)
(Sister dint scare me, I’ve heard even the bottle of water their cost several hundreds of Yuan, one can only imagine how expensive the food will be!)
Rain laughed, “I know, I know!” She turned the camera back toward herself, “Usually, I am the one taking everyone through the small streets and hidden corners of Shanghai, searching for delicious food that does not make our wallets cry.
But today…
we are going to find out what the wealthy people of Shanghai are eating and broden our horizons.”
She pointed dramatically toward the hotel, “So, my little food hunters, tighten your seatbelts.” Rain smiled brightly, “Because today, we are stepping into luxury.”
Behind the camera, the comments exploded.
(Today I am finally going to see what the Bvlgari Hotel looks like!)
( Mee too.
I have passed through the Bund so many times and seen the building from far away, but I never even dared to get too close.)
(Same here!
Those security guards at the entrance are too intimidating.)
The comment immediately caught everyone’s attention.
(Eh?
The commenter above, are you secretly some rich young master?
Big brother, please let me be your shoelace!)
(No.
I went there for an interview of waiter.
But was rejected.)
(Brother, my respect has disappeared faster than the wind.)
(Do not be unhappy yet!
Tell us, what did it feel like inside?)
(It felt like being struck by an overwhelming sense of inferiority.
Everywhere you looked, there was only one thing screaming at you, money.
Money, power, and a kind of wealth ordinary people could not even imagine.
Even the air inside seemed to carry the scent of arrogance.)
(Brother, you are exaggerating too much!)
(No, no, I understand him.
I have never been there, but I can already smell the poverty on myself.)
(Stop talking!
Sister Rain is standing outside right now.
Let us look properly!)
Rain glanced at the rapidly moving comments, and despite herself, her legs stiffened slightly.
Still, Rain maintained her bright smile, “Everyone, do not tease me like this,” she said cheerfully to the camera.
“Your Sister Rain is also seeing this place properly for the first time.
If I accidentally say something foolish today, then everyone must pretend you did not hear it, alright?”
(Alright!)
(Impossible!
We will remember everything!)
(Sister Rain, hurry up and take us inside!)
Rain laughed helplessly, “Do not rush.
A good meal cannot be eaten in one bite.
Let us first take a proper look around.”
The viewers, however, were already busy examining every corner visible behind her.
Then suddenly, a particularly sharp-eyed viewer noticed something.
(Sister Rain, wait!
What is happening near the entrance?” Turn the camera!
Quickly, turn the camera!)
Rain blinked in confusion,v”What happened?” She instinctively glanced toward the hotel entrance and her eyes widened.
A large truck had stopped near the entrance.
It was impossible not to notice.
The vehicle was decorated extravagantly, with elaborate arrangements, balloons, and decorative ribbons that immediately drew the attention of everyone nearby.
Standing beside it was a man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, his posture straight and professional.
In his hands was an enormous bouquet of flowers.
Even from a distance, the bouquet looked extraordinarily expensive.
The comment section immediately erupted.
(Whoa!
What is this?)
(Is some rich young master preparing to confess to his girlfriend?)
(Too romantic!
This is definitely a confession!)
(No, look carefully!
There are two people holding a red banner.)
Rain adjusted the angle of her phone slightly.
The words on the banner became clearer.
The comment section fell silent for a moment.
Then…
(Wait…
what does that say?)
(To Daddy’s Little Princess?)
(Ah?!)
The comments exploded again.
(So it is not a boyfriend confessing to his girlfriend!
It is a father preparing a surprise for his daughter?”)
(Fine, I am also not jealous.
I am merely feeling something burning inside my chest.)
(Wait, let me call my father.
To show him what a father is supposed to look like.)
(Wait!
Did I just see that correctly?
The flowers in that bouquet…
are those Juliet roses?)
(What are Juliet roses?)
(It is an extremely rare and expensive rose variety.
It took more than fifteen years of breeding and development before the famous variety was produced.
Even today, genuine high-quality Juliet roses are extraordinarily expensive.
Expensive enough to make ordinary people cry.)
(Look at the bouquet carefully.
From what I can see, there must be at least fifty flowers there.
With international sourcing, transportation, careful handling, and import costs, the entire bouquet could easily cost close to one hundred thousand yuan.)
(One hundred thousand yuan…
for flowers?)
(My Good lord.
That bouquet costs more than my years of savings.)
(Rich people’s romance is truly something poor people cannot understand.)
(No, this is a father spoiling his daughter!)
(Then rich fathers are even more terrifying!)
(Now I really want to know what is inside that truck.)
(Me too!)
(Sister Rain, please stay there!
Do not go inside yet!)
The requests began flooding the screen.
(Please!)
(Please, Sister Rain!
Food can wait!)
(Yes!
This kind of scene only appears once in a blue moon!)
(I have watched rich people spoil their children in television dramas, but never in real life!)
(Today we must broaden our horizons!)
(Yes!)
(+1!)
(+10!)
(+100!)
(+1000!)
Rain stared at the increasingly frantic comments and felt slightly helpless, “But…”
She was about to refuse when something happened.
A series of notifications flashed across her screen and gifts began pouring into the livestream.
Palm Pearls, Helicopters, Private Jets, Rockets and even Carnivals.
The brightly animated gifts flooded across the screen one after another, appearing so rapidly that Rain could barely keep track of them.
Her eyes widened, “Eh?”
Before she could react, another gift notification appeared.
Then another.
The comment section became even more excited.
(Sister Rain, I sent ten Rockets!
You have to stay and let us watch what happens!)
(Sister Rain, I sent five Carnivals and two Dream Castles!
Do not leave!)
(Stay there!)
(Please!)
(We want to see!)
Cold sweat gradually appeared on Rain’s forehead.
This time, she was genuinely frightened.
The gifts were arriving like a sudden rainstorm.
She had never seen such an overwhelming reaction from her viewers before.
Rain gripped her phone slightly tighter.
The person arranging something on this scale must be someone extremely important.
What if she accidentally offend them?
That concern was not unreasonable.
In China, especially among the truly wealthy and powerful, many people preferred to keep a low profile.
They disliked unnecessary attention, and Rain was only a food streamer.
If her livestream accidentally disturbed some influential figure, she did not even want to imagine the consequences.
Just as she hesitated, Sister Cui’s excited voice suddenly came through her earpiece.
“Stay there, Rain!
Let the viewers enjoy the spectacle,” Sister Cui said quickly, unable to conceal her excitement.
“Do you know how many gifts you have received already?bThey have already exceeded one hundred thousand yuan!”
“And that is not even the most important part,” Sister Cui continued rapidly.
“Your viewer count is rising like crazy.
Your traffic is increasing, your impressions are climbing, and the platform is continuously pushing your livestream to more people!”
Rain’s breathing became slightly uneven.
“This is your moment, Rain!” Sister Cui’s voice was filled with excitement, “I am watching the numbers right now.
Your livestream is gaining momentum by the second.
If this continues, your popularity today might reach an entirely new level!”
Rain bit her lower lip.
She felt conflicted.
On one hand, she was worried about offending whoever was responsible for the extravagant display.
On the other hand which livestreamer did not dream of becoming popular?
Which streamer did not want greater traffic, more viewers, and a chance to rise higher in the industry?
She had entered this industry because she wanted to build a name for herself.
After a brief struggle, Rain finally made up her mind, “Alright,” she murmured softly.
Then she took a deep breath, “Everyone, we will stay for a little while.”
The moment those words were spoken, the livestream erupted with more gifts and comments.
Rain carefully moved a few steps forward.
She did not dare approach the scene too closely.
Instead, she found a relatively hidden corner near the hotel entrance where she could observe everything without becoming too conspicuous.
Then she carefully turned her camera toward the magnificent scene ahead.
Her heart continued beating rapidly.
Silently, she prayed that nothing would go wrong.
Behind the camera, the viewer count continued climbing at an astonishing speed.
One hundred thousand.
One hundred and fifty thousand.
Two hundred thousand.
The numbers showed no sign of slowing.
Within less than ten minutes, Rain’s livestream had crossed three hundred thousand viewers.
And the number was still rising.
