Esper X Family – Chapter 373 – Ye Yao’s Livestream Preparations
“Ye Yao, do you want to try livestreaming?”
Tang Lulu’s slightly casual voice reached her ears, as if she was merely asking about something trivial.
Ye Yao was momentarily startled.
“Livestream? Me?”
She hadn’t really thought about it before.
It seemed like a troublesome affair, not really fitting her style of slacking off.
Tang Lulu nodded.
“That’s right, livestream. I do it every day. Ye Yao could give it a try too. Maybe you’ll find it fun.”
“Hmm… but I just want to slack off and play games.”
In Ye Yao’s view, livestreaming was like work, something she didn’t want to touch at all.
“You can slack off and play games while livestreaming too. It’s not like you’d be a professional streamer. You could just join me and stream for fun.”
Hearing that Ye Yao seemed interested, Tang Lulu perked up immediately.
She couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
The time Ye Yao spent playing games with her was still too short.
If they streamed together, perhaps it would extend that time.
Tang Lulu truly needed this cute friend and gaming buddy.
【Tang Lulu really wants you to stream and collab with her, to prolong the time you can spend gaming with her.】
After a period of playing together, the system had already certified Tang Lulu as “family member”, but not as part of the other Found Family members. Instead, she belonged to a new little group: the “Gaming League”.
Is this a girl’s roundabout request?
Ye Yao found Tang Lulu’s approach quite endearing.
Even though she consistently crushed Ye Yao in games, unable to grant her wishes for the Super Explosive Spin 1 Breakin’, Jamie’s Super Art from Street Fighter. or Super Flame Dance 2 Mai’s Super Art, Shiranui Ryuu: Enbu Ada Zakura. .

Still, there was no denying that Tang Lulu was indeed a qualified gaming buddy.
The others like Luo Jianhua weren’t very professional, and the gaming experts in the group weren’t very cute either.
Looking around, only Tang Lulu had both skill and cuteness, plus they could meet offline for easy communication.
Not bad indeed.
“Streaming, huh? Let me think about it~”
Ye Yao pretended to ponder, deliberately teasing Tang Lulu a bit to get back at her for those crushing losses in their game PKs.
Tang Lulu sat in her gaming chair, staring at Ye Yao with anticipation, waiting for her answer.
Sometimes, Ye Yao really wondered if Tang Lulu’s ideas were instigated by the Countermeasures Bureau.
But the information compiled by the system indicated that this was merely Tang Lulu’s spontaneous whim.
Thinking about it, that made sense.
The Countermeasures Bureau had racked their brains to try and keep her from becoming too famous, afraid that things might spiral out of control.
Only someone as oblivious as Tang Lulu would come up with the wild idea of getting Ye Yao to stream.
If the old timers at the Countermeasures Bureau found out, they would probably let out a piercing shriek.
Ye Yao thought it over. Perhaps she could give it a try for fun.
After all, it would just be casual streaming, mostly fulfilling Tang Lulu’s wish without affecting her own slacking off.
“But if I stream… wouldn’t it attract a lot of little haters?”
Ye Yao decided to beat around the bush a bit first.
Tang Lulu tilted her head in confusion.
“What are you talking about, Ye Yao? Would a new streamer really get that many viewers? Never mind little haters, you probably wouldn’t even have many audience members.”
“Gwuh!”
Ye Yao was speechless.
Although what Tang Lulu said made perfect sense, it was still pretty hurtful.

It made her sound like some stray dog wandering by the roadside.
But thinking about it, that description wasn’t entirely wrong. She really was a nobody in the streaming world.
“Alright then, I’ll try streaming. But next time, you have to let me use ‘Super Explosive Spin’ and ‘Super Flame Dance’, and you can’t interrupt my Thousand Strikes in an Instant 3 Akuma’s Shun Goku Satsu. .”
“Mm-hmm! Although going easy is taboo in competitive gaming, since it’s Ye Yao’s request, I’ll hold back from going all out!”
Tang Lulu’s eyes sparkled the moment she heard Ye Yao agree.
It was like she had finally managed to pull someone into her inner circle.
The friends she had made before were only willing to dabble in games, never wanting to go deeper.
When she was finally about to gain a few like-minded companions…
The adults from the Countermeasures Bureau had reined them in.
How infuriating!
The Espers at headquarters were under so much pressure. They really should balance work with leisure.
Tang Lulu felt that she was just introducing them to some stress-relief methods.
She had never expected to be labeled a bad influence leading others astray.
Luckily, no one came to dissuade Ye Yao this time.
They could absolutely game together until they lost track of time.
Ye Yao found this a bit hard to process internally.
After learning that Tang Lulu was the one the Countermeasures Bureau had put forward to potentially lead her astray, Ye Yao found it even harder to process.
Choosing an oblivious Tang Lulu as the one to lead her astray was definitely a risky plan.
After all, obliviousness meant uncertainty.
No one knew if she might suddenly have a clever little idea that would make things spiral out of control.
Case in point, right now.
The Countermeasures Bureau probably wanted nothing less than for Ye Yao to stream.

These days, the livestreaming environment was chaotic.
Once the audience grew, the pressure on the streamer would increase significantly.
No matter what niche a streamer was in, they needed considerable pressure resistance.
Otherwise, there was no way they could engage with the audience.
What if Ye Yao got overwhelmed by ignorant viewers?
It would be disastrous if she snapped.
Ye Yao couldn’t care less about what the Countermeasures Bureau thought.
She would do whatever she wanted.
“Speaking of streaming, how should I do it? Do I need to show my face?”
“No need. I already asked a friend online to make a VTuber model for Ye Yao, and I’ve prepared the equipment too. I’ll bring it to Ye Yao’s place tomorrow, and you can use it right away.”
“Huh?”
Ye Yao’s expression froze.
Holy crap!
This is premeditated!
What did she mean by already preparing a VTuber model?
Am I going to become a costume person 4 皮套人pitaoren is a slang for VTubers in China. It can be broken down to (皮) Skin + (套) Cover + (人) Human/Person. too?
Ye Yao found this even harder to process.
She truly hadn’t expected Tang Lulu to be so thoroughly prepared. The system hadn’t even given any corresponding information prompts.
She probably just considered it a trivial matter.
“Didn’t you think about the possibility that I might refuse?”
“It’s no big deal. It didn’t cost much anyway. If you don’t use it, I can just leave it aside for now.”
So she’s a rich young lady.

Then, Tang Lulu’s tone shifted.
“Besides, I could’ve set a trap for Ye Yao. If you weren’t interested, I would’ve proposed a game bet, then gently but persistently persuade you until you agreed, and after beating you in the game, the plan would be complete!”
“You’re quite the little schemer.”
This little devil Tang Lulu, having such cunning… Ye Yao really felt like turning on cheats and making Tang Lulu cry.
But the fact that she revealed the plan so candidly showed that there wasn’t much coercion behind it.
Tang Lulu promised confidently.
“Don’t worry, Ye Yao. After you start streaming tomorrow, we’ll collaborate right away. I’ll let my fans get to know you. Everyone’s really friendly, so there won’t be any troublesome viewers. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Tang Lulu wasn’t a professional streamer either; she was just doing it for fun. She didn’t need to consider benefits from collaborations.
Even if Ye Yao was just a newbie entering the livestreaming world, it didn’t matter as long as she had fun.
Ye Yao wasn’t worried anyway.
It was just livestreaming.
She had casually voice-chatted with group friends when playing games.
When she gamed in the dorm, there were always Countermeasures Bureau people lurking in the background.
Apart from the lack of bullet comments, gifts, and interaction, how was this any different from livestreaming?
Just wait!
When she starts streaming tomorrow, the livestreaming world would witness a major upheaval!
