Chapter 28: My Host Can’t Be That Violent (II)

User3216: "I saw a post rec and popped over. The insanely awesome streamer is such a cute girl hahaha."

UserRey11: "Post rec +1. Saw what she just did… My heart’s still beating quickly."

Ailisi Baobei: "Eh, did the streamer really kill a lot of people?"

Jiang Pengji had no idea what was going on and took a look at the stream’s chat log. She discovered that the channel had a sudden influx of viewers right after she had changed her clothes, and the numbers were steadily increasing. Even now, there was a System notification about a new viewer entering the channel.

"System. What’s going on?"

Jiang Pengji was confused. The stream that she had started yesterday only had 10 viewers.

The System was equally confused by the sudden influx of viewers, but it was a step ahead of Jiang Pengji. It conducted a series of checks and found the answer within a few seconds.

"Some of the viewers from yesterday recorded the stream and posted it to a social platform in their world called Duniang Tieba. All these viewers are here because of that post."

The System was speechless because of the growing number of viewers.

A viewer had commented that he wanted to take a closer look at the antiques, so Jiang Pengji poked at the bronze mirror in her hands as she communicated with the System. "So it’s like free advertising for our channel? These people are here because they saw the post."

"Yeah…"

The System would frown if it could. It did not tell its host that it was supposed to have employed various tasks to shape her into what it wanted, which was a fighter from the olden days. It would have rewarded her when she finished the tasks. Based on the difficulty of the tasks, the channel might even have been recommended by popular social platforms in the multidimension.

When the host expended energy and effort to stream, the System invested little effort but reaped the lion’s share of the benefits. Those were the System’s regulations, and it could not change them even if it wanted to.

If viewers recommended the channel, its popularity increased.

Jiang Pengji seemed to accept the explanation. "I guess the person who posted it wrote that the stream’s gimmicks are killing, hunting, and food? Most people love to watch those things, so it’s not surprising that we attracted this much attention…"

The System remained silent.

The stream’s chat was filled with viewers who were asking if the bandit massacre from the night before was real. Others were suspicious.

Aiaiaiai: "An expert took a look at the video and said that there were no signs of editing…"

Zhubo Shi Pianzi: "It’s fake. If she killed so many people, how come she hasn’t been arrested?"

Bieqiang Wo Erlou: "It’s already stated that it’s a multidimensional stream about disputes. In the olden days, killing bandits

Jiucai Feicai: "Wonder which filming studio did this. The set looks familiar and fake at the same time… You can stop trying to fool people now. Only an idiot would believe in ‘multidimensional streaming.’ All of you here for the show can go back. Best to quit the channel and keep your brain cells."

User1438: "Don’t you guys find it weird? You can find this channel on any streaming platform…"

User334: "I just went to test it out. It works! You can find this channel via Xiongmao, Kaoyu, and even YX. This is creepy…"

User3356: "This streamer is nuts. Probably for the sake of fame. Didn’t the news report about some streamer from awhile ago who said that they came from the past? Then it was proven that it was all fake? One look at this channel, and you can tell it’s the same. So fake!"

User3838: "For the sake of fame+1. All these plastic surgery girls… For the sake of fame, they’ll look for rich husbands, sleep with them, strip, pant into the mic, or stream themselves having sex with men… They’ll do whatever it takes as long as they get money. Disgusting."

User5567: "For the sake of fame+N. She’s so ugly. As long as a woman is willing to spread her legs, they’ll become streamers. The reputation for women is sullied by these people. I dare predict that when this streamer is famous, she will pander to the whims of those rich men."

User9873: "For the sake of fame+N. I bet two cents that her underage look suits some perverts."

Jiang Pengji had not set any chat restrictions, which was why there were all sorts of comments. Most of the comments were suspicious while the rest were scolding and insulting. It was her first time seeing such a chaotic scene.

"…Do you want to restrict the user level and number of comments in the chat?"

Although the System was elated by the number of viewers, it was worried that the toxic comments might affect Jiang Pengji. If Jiang Pengji stopped streaming, the System would cry if it could.

The comments flew across the screen rapidly, but Jiang Pengji was able to read them all. Some of the insults were interesting, and she filed them away for future use.

"Why should we restrict them? It’s quite interesting…" Jiang Pengji said.

System: "…"

The System had forgotten that its host was not normal. This level of negativity was not enough to faze her, and she was good at holding grudges. Those viewers who had pissed her off would not know what was coming to them.

"Let them scold. Frankly speaking, it’s my first time seeing such creative insults." Jiang Pengji laughed. "I thought my subordinates in Corps Seven were hooligans. Looks like they’ve met their match."

To Jiang Pengji, insulting someone required skill. A wise person could insult someone without using a single vulgar word and still deliver the best results. People who insulted others by cursing someone’s ancestors or descendants were distasteful.

"If I were a scholar, I would probably write an essay on ‘The Olden Day People and Their Accomplishments.'"

Jiang Pengji did not look irritated, and she didn’t show any indication that she was going to bother with the viewers.

The viewers who were hurling abuse at her were getting more explicit in their insults. It was embarrassing to watch. It made her wonder who were they embarrassing: themselves or the intergalactic people?

"Were you expecting me to scold back?"

Jiang Pengji preferred settling things with her fists rather than with her mouth… But of course, if the situation was nonviolent, then she would verbally provoke and abuse. The System presumed that if it were a living entity, Jiang Pengji would have strangled it to death.

"No. But I think you should still set some restrictions," the System decided.

If the viewers’ accounts were restricted, they could still create new accounts and return for another round of insults. That was another way of gaining some popularity.

Jiang Pengji quickly guessed what the System was up to. "I can’t believe that this little bit of activity is enough for you. I worry for your future. Anyway, wait a while. The best is yet to come."

The System hesitated… Something was not right.

"Don’t tell me… You plan to rip apart your own viewers?"

I want you to rip apart your stepmother, father’s concubine, siblings, relatives, and elders, not your own viewers!

Jiang Pengji looked astonished and asked, "Why would I do that? Do I look like someone who would do that?"
