Chapter 83: Second Livestream (3)
Chapter 83 – Second Livestream (3)
Thump .
As the wormhole gradually expanded, a white box fell out of it and tumbled onto the ground .
“It’s here!”
After the wormhole shrunk and disappeared, Chen Yu stepped forward and picked up the box . Just as he was about to open the seal, however, an idea suddenly dawned on him .
Recording a video and conducting a livestream were two different things entirely . It wasn’t necessary for him to unbox the product in advance to gain an understanding of it . There was also the option of unboxing it during the livestream and reading the product’s instruction manual then . In fact, doing so might even improve the livestream’s performance .
After gaining this thought, Chen Yu did not waste any more time, quickly taking out his gloves, mask, and haori from under his bed and putting them on . He then walked up to his door and searched for a suitable livestream venue using the Interstellar Portal’s holographic interface .
“Let’s go to a sparsely populated place…”
After sliding across the holographic Earth a few times and establishing a spatial link on his selected location, Chen Yu pushed open the door and stepped through it .
After stepping onto the dirt ground beyond the door, Chen Yu instantly felt a blast of hot air blowing at his face, suffocating him .
His current location was Thailand’s Si Racha . He could see palm trees with brown rhizomes and green leaves swaying with the wind, the leaves obscuring his view of the colonies of bats flying in the sky .
“There are bats even in the morning?”
After observing the bats above him for a while, Chen Yu retrieved his gaze and raised his wrist, canceling his watch’s invisibility . He then used the watch to direct the invisible camera toward him . After making some minor adjustments, he promptly started his livestream .
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated…]
[Bilibili site activation complete . ]
[DouYu site activation complete . ]
[Youtube site activation complete . ]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After these five lines of text flashed by, the viewer count displayed on the watch’s screen started skyrocketing rapidly .

1,146 .
4,554 .
11,097…
In just 10 short seconds, the total viewer count for all three streaming platforms had broken past the 50,000-mark!
It was evident that his audience had been waiting for quite some time now .
[Victory for the early bird!]
[I’ll curse first, then watch . ]
[I didn’t know about the last livestream’s schedule, but now I can finally watch it live!]
[I just woke up from a coma!]
[First, first, first!]
[It’s here!]
[Summoning the bullet comment armor…]
[Where’s the beauty from last time?]
[Where’s the beauty? We’re here to see the beauty!]
[Similarly here to see the beauty . UP, get lost . ]
[I want to look at the cheongsam beauty!]
[I even took my pants off already! Unsubscribing, goodbye . ]
[I endured for an entire month, yet you actually hurt me like this!]
[Grandpa is watching closely . ]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu straightened his mask and said, “Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms . This is Transdimensional Review’s second livestream . Thank you for your continued support . As everyone knows, I am a person that dislikes nonsense, so let’s get straight into the review!”
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the white box in his arms and continued, “Unlike the previous livestream, we will be including an unboxing session today . As this product has just reached my hands, I don’t know what’s inside either . Hence, let us witness this advanced technological product from the future from start to end together . ”
[Support! A review stream without an unboxing session is a soulless one!]
[UP, where is this place? Why are there bats in the sky?]
[The actors from before have exposed you already . Stop pretending . ]
[I want to see the female assistant…]
Sitting down cross-legged, Chen Yu sent a quick glance at his watch’s screen, which was densely packed with bullet comments, and found that the total viewer count had exceeded 100,000 already .
At this point, he could basically rival first-rate streamers in terms of turnout rate .

How scary… Smacking his lips together, Chen Yu stabilized his emotions before speaking in his usual voice, “This box also comes from a future space-time . I don’t know what material it is made of, but it is very resistant . ”
After saying so, he picked up a stone from the ground and slammed it down on the box .
Bang!
When Chen Yu removed the stone, a dent had formed on the box’s surface . Surprisingly, though, the dent was gradually recovering to its original state .
“As you can see, this should be a kind of memory material . It is definitely impossible to create something like this with current human technology . Hmm… Speaking of this, I suddenly have an idea . ”
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu pointed at the white box and quietly said, “I don’t have a use for this box, but I can’t say the same for ‘some people . ’ Then, as a way to give back to my fans, I guess I can use unimportant objects like this box as a gift . Of course, I will only gift it to obedient fans . ”
As soon as Chen Yu said so, a barrage of bullet comments exploded in all three livestream rooms .
[Me, me, me, me! Pick me!]
[Pick me (in a gentle voice)!]
[I’ve raised my ass already . Figure it out yourself . ]
[UP, are your words hinting at something?]
[I won’t be greedy . I just want that Golden Middle Finger of yours . ]
[I’m okay with receiving the female assistant . ]
[Do you still have that Heat Ray Gun? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just trying to rule the world . ]
[Those are all old antiques . Why are you people fighting over those things for…]
[Mr . King, I am America’s representative! I wish to partner with you! I’ve sent you a private message already! Please read it!]
[UP, who did you offend? Why is there no news about you online…]
Amidst the torrent of bullet comments, Chen Yu noticed a few messages he suspected to be the government officials of various countries . However, he did not pay any heed to these messages . Manipulating the camera to focus on the white box, he moved the subject back to the review .
“Now for the unboxing . ”
Tear!
After removing the seal, Chen Yu casually tossed it away, letting it fly into the air and disappear without a trace .
If Thailand’s officials were keen enough, this “ordinary” seal would most likely end up in one of Thailand’s scientific research institutions before tomorrow arrived .
Meanwhile, there were still plenty of such seals piled up inside Chen Yu’s room . He planned on tossing a seal to every country .
He was never one for preferential treatment . Instead, he preferred to treat everyone equally favorably . After all, only with “competition” would there be benefits for him to had .
This was where his great wisdom came into play .
While having such random thoughts in his mind, Chen Yu opened the box’s lid and pulled out a rectangular machine from inside .
“This is…”
Chen Yu scratched his head in confusion .
Since the first technological product he had received until now, this was the first time he had received a product that did not allow him to judge its function by appearance alone .
“Fellow viewers, can you guess what this is? It looks like a malformed radio . Is this a wire? There’s no screen, but the groove in the middle should be reserved for a holographic projection . ”
After saying so, he put the machine aside and picked up a card at the bottom of the box .
Vroom!
The instant Chen Yu’s finger came into contact with the card, the card suddenly lit up and projected several words in the air—Product Instruction Manual!
[Crap! Special effects again?]
[Full score for details . ]
[Is this holographic technology?]
[Is this card the rumored new concept phone?]
[I’m guessing that this machine is something used in bed…]
[It’s obviously a miniature nuclear warhead launch pad . ]
[My son still can’t write yet…]
“Huh? What an interesting instruction manual . ”
Chen Yu could not help but be a little surprised as he held onto the card . He then tentatively swiped a finger across the card’s surface . Immediately, the floating words disappeared and were replaced with new words .
Produced by Pilotage Technology Group!
Sliding his finger again, the card finally displayed the product’s name…

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Legends of Balarel - A Leisurely LitRPG
Glenn Redwood has longed to become an Adventurer since he was a young boy, and has focused every waking moment on that goal since turning 14. Answering the challenge of the Gods of Balarel, he has fought Monsters, Leveled, and grown stronger. Yet the day before his 16th birthday, the day he will earn his dream or lose it forever ... the Gods have made a wager. And no mere mortal wishes to draw the attention of the Gods. ***** This is my crack at writing a leisurely LitRPG. My focus is more on telling interesting stories set in a world where people live under a MMORPG-like ruleset enforced by the Gods, and less on writing another story where the MC gets massive stat boosts every chapter before heading off to wreck the world. There will be plenty of blue tables (it’s LitRPG!) but my Adventurers are just starting out. This fic is about the journey, not the destination, so expect everyone to Level ... leisurely. Updates: M-T-W-Th. I’ll post 3000-4000 words a day, or 12000-15000 words a week. If this posting pace ends up being too much for me, I reserve the right to slow posts down a bit. Inspirations: Blessed Time (Royal Road) Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In a Dungeon? (Anime) Trails in the Sky (JRPG Series) MC: My MC is a genuinely good person who’s both a talented warrior and tactically savvy. He prefers to solve problems without violence but will resort to force if necessary to protect his friends or innocent people. I’m tired of stories starring anti-hero MCs facing endless doom and gloom, so I wanted to write a nice guy with an adventurous spirit who helps people in a thriving fantasy world. That’s all.
