“Desimu” is a dark-skinned man with a buzz cut, wearing a black tank top that shows off his perfectly sculpted arm muscles.
Instantly, Ruan Xingyao’s livestream turned into a gathering place for swooning fans.
【Shaa shaa shaa! Is this the legendary tendon muscles? This is too perfect!】
【If in my lifetime I could touch muscles like this, I’d wake up laughing even in my coffin.】
【Young man, you’re too conservative. With a body like that, why wear a tank top? You should let us see the perfect body underneath.】
【Young man, can I take a look at how many muscles you have?】
Seeing the comments getting more and more exaggerated, Ruan Xingyao cleared her throat lightly and asked “Desimu”, “Dear viewer, how can I help you?”
Desimu’s expression seemed pained, as if he were holding something back.
He stared straight at the camera and said to Ruan Xingyao, “Streamer Starry, I have an awkward request. I don’t know if you’d agree to it.”
Ruan Xingyao said, “Go ahead. As long as it follows the rules of the livestream, I’ll agree.”
Of course, the “rules of the livestream” really just meant: as long as the money is there, everything is negotiable.
The Ruan Xingyao of today was no longer the old Ruan Xingyao.
She was now Niuhuru Ruan Xingyao — as long as the money was provided, everything was possible.
*TL Note : Niuhuru It’s an internet meme that originated from TV series. It’s used to (playfully) represent someone who is extremely calculating, manipulative and cold.
“Desimu” said, “No problem. As long as Streamer Starry is willing to help me, everything will be fine.”
With that, “Desimu” had already sent two “Dream Ships” as gifts in the livestream.
Ruan Xingyao loved viewers who were straightforward like this.
Her smile immediately became much more genuine.
She said, “Alright then, tell me—what do you want me to do?”
“Desimu” said, “Streamer Starry, my dog was blown up. I want you to help me investigate how it was killed.”
The moment he said this, even before Ruan Xingyao could respond, the livestream chat exploded.
【No way! Are you messing with us? The dog is already dead, and you want Streamer Starry to investigate? Aren’t you making things difficult for her?】
【Exactly! Streamer Starry can understand animals, but she can’t understand dead ones. You should just report it to the police!】
Naturally, for every fan defending Ruan Xingyao, there were trolls eager to stir trouble.
【Hahahahaha! The streamer just messed up, right? She’s supposed to be omnipotent—why is she speechless now?】
【I knew if I waited long enough, I’d see the streamer screw up! Hahaha! This is all the streamer’s karma!】
Ruan Xingyao’s loyal fans immediately jumped in, clashing with the trolls in the chat.
【Can all the trolls just leave?! Why are you still coming here to provoke trouble?!】
【Anyway, I unconditionally believe in Streamer Starry! She’s the strongest—she can definitely handle this!】
Ruan Xingyao didn’t pay attention to the arguing in the chat.
After hearing “Desimu”’s request, a trace of barely noticeable anger flashed in her eyes.
Pressing her lips together, she smiled faintly at the camera and said, “Dear viewer, what everyone says is true—I can only talk to animals and understand their thoughts. Since your dog has already been blown up, I might not be able to help.”
If “Desimu”’s connection was just a coincidence, hearing her say this would probably make him end the call, and then she might still be able to help him privately.
But if her guess was correct, then…
“Desimu” said, “Streamer Starry, I really have no way. I wasn’t there when it happened, I have no idea what actually occurred. I just want to find out the truth and get justice for my dog. I honestly don’t know where to start… Streamer Starry, please, help me.”
The more he spoke, the more grief-filled he became.
A man who looked as tough as steel had reddened eyes, his throat choked several times, yet he held back tears from falling.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to tip Ruan Xingyao.
In a short span, “Desimu” had already sent her over twenty “Dream Ships.”
Ruan Xingyao’s hand, off-camera, unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Her chest was filled with fury, but now she no longer let her true emotions show outwardly.
She just smiled faintly, exceptionally calm, and said to “Desimu”, “Alright. Seeing as you’ve tipped so much, I’ll help you with this favor.”
“Desimu” seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, gratefully saying, “Thank you, Streamer Starry. I’ll bring my dog over now.”
He left the frame, and several seconds later, returned holding a box.
“Desimu” sat back in front of the camera, his expression of pain now even more real.
He placed the box on his lap, then…
One piece, another piece, another piece…
“Desimu” gently took his dog’s fragments out of the box and placed them on the table.
However, there were only five pieces.
Everyone in the livestream was waiting for “Desimu” to continue, but his actions stopped there.
【What’s going on? Wasn’t it just one dog? Could it be it only has two legs left?】
【Could it have already been blown into pieces? This is too tragic…】
【I also want to know what exactly happened. Who would be so cruel to treat a dog like this?】
【But it’s already in pieces like this—how could Streamer Starry even understand anything?】
【Are you kidding?! Streamer Starry is human, not a god. This is way too hard on her!】
【It’s obvious—this guy is just here to cause trouble. Could it be a troll pretending?!】
【No matter what, I still say it: I unconditionally believe in Streamer Starry!】
Whether it was due to the platform pushing the stream or someone spreading the word, more and more people started flooding into Ruan Xingyao’s livestream.
Seeing this, even more viewers began to wait to see how Ruan Xingyao would handle the situation.
【What’s the streamer doing?! Hurry up! If the streamer really has the ability, I’ll tip her ten Dream Castles later!】
【Me too! As long as the streamer really can do it, I’ll also tip ten Dream Castles!】
【Same here!】
【Count me in!】
Watching the barrage of viewers promising to tip ten Dream Castles each, Ruan Xingyao lightly tugged the corner of her mouth and said, “Alright, to all the viewers who just promised a tip, I’ve noted down your IDs. I hope you really follow through later.”
