LBRDI Chapter 16

Drama

Don’t know when it started, but gifts flooded the live broadcast room screen and the barrage increased. Even the silent¹ masses who were watching the live broadcast but too lazy to send barrage came out.

The gifts for the dean, the dragon cubs and He Xing all merged into one and with the support of the barrage and reward gifts, the popularity of the live broadcast room had risen rapidly.

[Maths, Physics, Chem: As a dragon that does not breathe fire, I don’t know who is better to like. The dean holding the robot with one hand was simply an alpha burst! The reason why the dean dares to let the dragon cubs play with it is not out of trust in technology, but probably out of self-confidence in his own ability.]

[Eternal Planet: It has changed my impression of human beings. I always thought that humans are the type that will cry for a long time after being rubbed². It is easy to see a human on the street who doesn’t dare to speak up.]

[Does your throat hurt today?: What kind of immortal being is this, Lao Tzu can finally rest assured and become a hardcore fan.]

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: What misunderstanding do you dragons have about us humans… Even a child wouldn’t cry from being rubbed.]

[Does your throat hurt today?: It depends on how the hit is taken right? I just want to pick you up and rub you, do you understand getting picked up? If I enclose you with my body and rub and kiss you, wouldn’t you cry?]

[Xue Lulu: Where did this pervert in front come from!]

[Does your throat hurt today?: Pervert? This is called being obsessed! The soft and cute humans are the ones that such a fierce alpha like me should like!]

[Xue Lulu: …Admitting that you’re obsessive yourself, are you dragons that open?]

[Seventh Legion Super God: Leave! Don’t discredit us dragon’s reputation!]

Even without adding barrage or giving a reward, the popularity of the live broadcast room would rise. When the popularity of the live broadcast room reached 150 000, Shen Mian’s live broadcast room 1551 rushed to the hot recommendation list of mutual attraction channels.

The popular recommendation list is a real-time list. The fifteen live rooms with the highest popularity are selected to be on the list. Being in a prominent position on the channel can bring considerable traffic to the live broadcast room.

The first day of the mutual attraction channel opening, the popularity of the recommended list had reached the point where other old channels are surprised. The last one on the recommendation list, the live room 1551 that just rushed to the list, real-time data:

Number of viewers: 52 921

Popularity: 150 469.

The old users who browse live broadcasts on the new channel were very aware of the golden content from the hot recommendation list, so the first thing they do when they enter the new channel is to find a live broadcast on the list that they like.

Then they saw the newly-listed live room 1551.

The popularity value of more than 150,000 is nothing, but more than 50,000 people observing? How can such a small number of people have more than three times the popularity? Has the anchor’s data been falsified?

Curiosity urged users to click into the live broadcast room, but before they could clearly see the anchor, they were crushed by the floating barrage.

[New audience: We believe it, we testify that the data is true and reliable. Is the barrage crazy? It is also rare that the live barrage can cover so densely without a lottery.]

The dazzling barrage from users not only did not dissuade the new audience but aroused a stronger curiosity. The new audience blocked the meaningless barrage and finally watched the live broadcast quietly.

They weren’t clear what happened before, but the two beautiful dragon cubs and tall, thin, handsome young men in the live room were enough for them to watch. Under the explanation of the barrage, they knew that two dragon cubs and sparring robot had a funny and beautiful “fight”. The gem-like dragon cub’s flame was like a brilliant spark, which directly stopped the robot’s action.

The newcomers in the live broadcast room did not leave. After making it on the list, it also attracted new audiences with its peculiar data. Even though Shen Mian had not noticed it himself, the number of viewers has reached 110 000.

Gian, who stood in front of the robot, was stunned. He looked at the motionless robot in front of him with his mouth shut. He couldn’t believe his flame was actually judged as an effective attack.

Lu Yuan, who ran to Gian’s side and took a few breaths, stared at Gian with sparkling eyes, “That was awesome, Gian will definitely be able to protect many dragons in the future so come and be my deputy captain.”

He Xing leaned aside said to Shen Mian, “This child is quite determined.”

He never forgets his dream of conquering the stars.

Shen Mian was also a little speechless: it is okay to abduct his cub in front of him?

Gian clenched his claws, “R-really? Can I protect other cubs?”

Obviously, he accidentally burned Lu Yuan’s hair, but can he become a good child without getting into trouble in the future?

Lu Yuan enthusiastically nodded, “Just like that.”

He took Gian to the robot and crazily praised him, “Look! A robot so big and so heavy was actually burnt by your flames and stopped moving!”

Shen Mian frowned slowly, “Why do I feel that something is a little wrong, Lu Yuan is not like…”

He didn’t have time to say the rest of the sentence before his mouth was covered by He Xing.

He Xing, “Hush.”

The palm of adult alpha was dry and warm and covered half of Shen Mian’s face, his breath hitting He Xing’s palm.

Shen Mian’s eyes moved slightly then fell on He Xing’s face. His gaze was filled with three words – “You are dead”.

He Xing abided to the situation and immediately let go and begged for mercy, “I was wrong, can you beat me later?”

[Death Rays: Hahahahahaha I can’t hold it in any longer.]

[His Royal Highness’s Medal: Lol, how can you be so straightforward? It’s pretty cute but I still prefer the alpha personality like his highness and the dean!]

He Xing, a comrade-in-arms with a variety of wonderful IDs in the live room, fell into silence: Friend, do you know that this dragon is his highness, the crown prince?

He XIng couldn’t see the barrage. Of course, according to his personality, since he dared to admit his wrongdoings in front of tens of thousands of people and dragon costumes in the live room, he would definitely not care how others think of him.

He Xing pulled Shen Mian and took him to the side. Gian had been so stunned by Lu Yuan that he nodded to everything being said.

Lu Yuan also ran over and asked He Xing to leave the remote control, “Dean, is it okay if we play with it for a while before going to eat?”

Gian also looked expectantly towards Shen Mian. He had already won once so his inner fear had quietly disappeared, he was even eager to try again.

Neither child has ever been in contact with this toy and will be in this state of excitement before their enthusiasm dies down.

Shen Mian nodded, “I’ll call you after fifteen minutes ok?

Gian, “En!”

Shen Mian pet their heads one by one and took the quantum computer to the kitchen to see how the soup has stewed.

He Xing quickly caught up.

Shen Mian expressionless, “Why are you keeping up?”

He Xing took the quantum computer and the handle and aimed it at Shen Mian, “I was afraid you weren’t happy, I came to let you vent your anger.”

Shen Mian bypassed him and walked into the kitchen, lifting pots lid, “I’m not stupid. I know what you did secretly and even said it in front of such an audience.”

Lu Yuan is not a cowardly dragon cub. Spotted dragons can bite off the leg of an alloy table with a bite and although their staple foods are vegetables, they are one of the most powerful races among the dragons.

He Xing supported the desktop and smiled.

Barrage:

[Death Rays: I always feel that there is a secret between the dean and the friend, cry, can’t we know?]

Shen Mian was very cold, “No.”

[Death Rays: Cry.]

After dozens of minutes of tossing in the open space and the dragon cubs had played enough, the simmered horned wurm stewed with tomatoes was almost done. The boiling soup bubbled with a strong fragrance, the audience in the broadcast room suddenly realising that they had been watching for almost an hour and were already hungry.

Shen Mian opened the freezer, which contained Lu Yuan’s main rations: various fresh vegetables. Lu Yuan could eat half the portions in the freezer in one day.

While he washed the vegetables and partially cooked them, He Xing had brought the stew to the table, Lu Yuan pulled the stool away and Gian put down some nutrient solutions around his feet.

The daily menu of the nursery school basically consists of a big dish with nutrient solutions, so as to maximize the nutritional balance of dragon cubs. The nutrient solutions on the table are all large and several are placed in front of one dragon. Only one is placed in front of Shen Mian.

[Clear Sky: Judging from the number of meals, the dean really is a lovely human being!]

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: Only the amount of meals is like hahaha, the dean is super capable, the heavy dragon cub can be picked up directly!]

[Antlers: Hahaha Dean Shen, the violent and adorable creature.]

[Death Rays: The dragon cubs too, are they all violent cute things?]

Shen Mian had been broadcasting for three hours. At the time of the broadcast, the number of views in the live broadcast had exceeded 170 000 and the account followers had increased by more than 50 000. There are not so many gimmicks in his live broadcast because there are two or three live treasures, so it was always full of laughs, which was very good for gaining fans.

As the audience in the live broadcast increased, so did those who wanted to find faults. Shen Mian can’t always talk to the thorns when the cubs are in class. In fact, he doesn’t even pay attention to the live broadcast room for a long time.

Although Cat Eye Live will send an intelligent housekeeper to a contracted anchor, it not being too intelligent may be due to mass distribution. The management mechanism was relatively flawed.

Shen Mian felt that he should buy a decent intelligent housekeeper, but the contract was not enough.

In the evening after the two dragon cubs were coaxed, Shen Mian moved away to choose an intelligent housekeeper.

As soon as He Xing came back from taking a shower, he heard a soft female voice coming from the dormitory, “Welcome to Live Room 15, the anchor is waiting for you here.”

The voice was thin and soft and the ending tone was sweet.

He Xing wiped his hair with a subtle expression and could not describe what mood he was in: Shen Mian actually likes this type?

He turned around and took a chair and just as he placed it next to Shen Mian, he heard a low male voice, “Welcome to Live Room 16, during the difficult times, I’ll see you here.”

What was said was a template and it probably was a test for the intelligent housekeeper.

He Xing casually asked, “Are you going to buy a housekeeper?”

Shen Mian answered with an “mhm”. The price of the housekeeper was higher than he thought. The most expensive one was a house with a monthly fee of 7 000 stars. Of course, he was reluctant to buy such an expensive one as hiring a real housekeeper wouldn’t cost this for a month.

He Xing tilted his head and looked at his side profile, “Why don’t you hire a real one?”

Shen Mian concisely said, “Expensive.”

He Xing pointed at himself, “Isn’t there a free one right here?”

Shen Mian’s gaze didn’t move, “Can’t afford.”

“I don’t charge,” He Xing dragged his chair to sit closer, “You really won’t consider it? Good for use, smart, keen and also listens to commands.”

Shen Mian, “…”

He took off the holographic glasses and asked, “Why haven’t you gone to rest yet?”

He Xing glanced at the quantum computer, “Waiting for Lu Yuan. He said he’ll come to find me at 8:30 and now it is exactly 8:30.”

Shen Mian froze as footsteps sounded outside the dormitory. Lu Yuan knocked on the door and pushed it open, revealing his round head.

“Dean, may I come in?”

Shen Mian nodded and Lu Yuan went through the door, plunging onto Shen Mian’s leg.

After the robot incident during the morning, Lu Yuan finally understood. Their Dean Shen was so strong that he could fight while being suspended so they don’t need to be as careful around him as they would around a small doll.

Shen Mian rubbed his forehead with a great feel.

Lu Yuan voluntarily confessed, “I came to find uncle to fulfil his promise.”

He turned to He Xing and spread out one claw.

He Xing took out a shiny star coin from his space button. Lu Yuan took it and counted it, then the thick meat pad shot in He Xing’s palm, “Thank you for your cooperation, welcome to come next time!”

Shen Mian thought of the one-way operation Lu Yuan did during the day, “I thought you just found foreign aid, but I didn’t expect this foreign aid to charge.”

Whether Lu Yuan can conquer the stars is unclear. Anyway, he is very talented in doing business, or he could develop his acting career. His acting during the morning seemed genuine.

Lu Yuan counted the star coins again before cramming it into his pocket on his belly, “Of course I have to be paid. I acted so hard today. This is the start-up capital of my conquest plan. Thinking back, I think you are right Dean, big dreams will start to accumulate from a small place.”

“Dean, do you want to invest? Make a profit without losing any money!”

Lu Yuan tried to climb onto Shen Mian’s lap and jumped a few times but couldn’t get up. He was picked up by Shen Mian and placed on his lap.

Shen Mian thought about it for a while and then took out a few star coins from his pocket, “Ok then… For your lovely sake.”
