Chapter 220 - Chapter 219: Reducing Tens of Thousands of Viewers to Tears

Robin: (๑•̀ᴗ-) ✧

As her words fell, the corners of Robin's lips lifted slightly.

She playfully stuck out her tongue toward the camera, looking as though she were sharing a tiny secret with everyone watching.

Right now, this was merely a livestream.

Not a grand concert.

Not a stage beneath countless spotlights.

Nor was she the superstar singer standing at the center of an entire galaxy.

Therefore, Robin no longer needed to maintain the flawless image expected of a celebrity at all times.

She could be a little more relaxed.

A little more playful.

A little more like herself.

Just like chatting casually with a group of old friends.

However...

The reaction she expected never arrived.

"Hm?"

Robin blinked.

"Why did everyone suddenly become quiet again?"

A trace of confusion surfaced in her emerald-green eyes.

Her gaze swept across the livestream chat.

The viewer count continued climbing rapidly.

Hundreds of thousands.

Then even higher.

Yet compared to the astonishing number of viewers, the chat seemed unusually sparse.

Robin tilted her head.

Logically speaking...

The response shouldn't be this calm.

After all,the song had been an extremely popular in her previous life.

Combined with the advantage of being completely new to this world, it should have produced an even stronger impact.

Yet the livestream room appeared strangely silent.

Robin (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣:

'There are clearly so many viewers...'

'Then where did everyone go?'

Unable to understand the situation, Robin could only scratch her cheek helplessly before smiling softly.

Well, it wasn't particularly important.

After all, she had never started streaming for fame or popularity.

Being able to share music she loved was already enough.

Besides...

The current viewer count alone had already exceeded every expectation she had originally held.

Thinking this, Robin stood up and slowly walked back toward the bedroom.

Her footsteps were light.

Her expression remained gentle.

Completely unaware of the chaos she had just created.

...

At this moment.

Throughout countless cities.

Inside dormitories.

Classrooms.

Office buildings.

Coffee shops.

And even along busy streets.

An invisible storm was quietly spreading.

Robin had underestimated one thing.

Or rather...

She had never truly understood how terrifying her own voice was.

Lost Heartbeat was already an emotional song to begin with.

But after being sung by Robin—

After passing through her almost supernatural vocal talent—

Its destructive power directly multiplied several times over.

Every lyric.

Every note.

Every breath.

Seemed to carry an indescribable emotional force.

Like a hand gently reaching into someone's heart and pulling out all the hidden regrets buried deep within.

The result was...

Disastrous.

Completely disastrous.

Many sensitive listeners had already broken down halfway through the song.

The girls were the first victims.

Some were lying on their beds listening quietly.

Some were riding buses.

Some were walking back from class.

Yet almost all of them experienced the same phenomenon.

Red eyes.

A sore nose.

Then...

Tears.

The boys originally believed they would be fine.

After all, how could a mere love song make grown men cry?

They listened confidently.

Then listened some more.

Then...

They suddenly discovered something was wrong.

Very wrong.

That strange feeling of melancholy had already wrapped itself around their hearts before they even noticed.

By the time they wanted to escape, It was already too late.

That afternoon.

Across the country.

Countless university dormitories experienced bizarre incidents.

One room suddenly began howling.

Then another.

Then another.

Eventually entire floors became confused.

"What happened?"

"Who's crying?"

"Did someone get dumped?"

Then curious students opened doors to investigate.

And joined them shortly afterward.

The chain reaction spread rapidly.

If nothing unexpected happened...

Tomorrow's internet headlines would likely become:

"Why Did Large Numbers of College Students Suddenly Burst Into Tears This Afternoon?"

"A Mysterious Singer Causes Nationwide Emotional Breakdown"

"Experts Unable to Explain Collective Crying Phenomenon"

...

Meanwhile.

The culprit responsible for everything remained completely unaware.

Robin simply sat before the camera and continued interacting with her audience.

She had absolutely no idea what kind of devastation she had just unleashed.

After all...

This was her first time performing such a song in a livestream environment.

Previously, all of her music had been carefully recorded before release.

Although Robin knew her singing possessed a special charm due to the subtle influence of Harmony...

She had never personally observed listeners' reactions in real time.

Therefore.

How could she possibly imagine that a single song would nearly reduce hundreds of thousands of people to tears?

Robin: (๑°⌓°๑)?

A few moments later.

The audience gradually recovered.

Then...

The chat exploded.

[DAMN IT! I DIDN'T DODGE IN TIME!]

[Zero-frame startup attack! Completely unreasonable!]

[Halfway through the song I realized something was wrong, but by then I was already trapped!]

[WAAAAAHHH! SISTER ROBIN STOLE MY LITTLE PEARLS!]

[I'm on the subway right now and everyone keeps looking at me!]

[That's nothing! I was in class! The teacher was explaining functions while I was trying not to cry!]

[My roommate thought someone in my family died!]

[Streamer, please explain yourself!]

[Compensation! We demand compensation!]

[Return my tears immediately!]

...

Robin: (๑°⌓°๑)??

Watching the suddenly explosive chat.

Robin finally understood what had happened.

Robin (ノ_<.):

'Wait...'

'I sang one song...'

'And tens of thousands of people cried?'

Even Robin herself found the conclusion difficult to believe.

She pressed a hand against her forehead.

Then couldn't help laughing.

The laughter carried both embarrassment and helplessness.

The most unbelievable part was that she genuinely hadn't intended for any of this to happen.

Looking at the endless stream of "accusations" flooding the screen.

Robin immediately sat upright.

Then bowed slightly toward the camera.

"I'm very sorry, everyone."

"I truly didn't expect things to develop this way."

Her voice was sincere.

Her expression was equally sincere.

Unfortunately...

The effect was devastating in an entirely different direction.

The viewers suddenly found themselves unable to remain angry.

After all.

Robin was simply too beautiful.

Too adorable.

Too sincere.

The audience's hearts immediately softened.

The accusations disappeared almost instantly.

Replacing them were endless compliments.

[Forget it, I forgive you.]

[She's too cute, brothers. I surrender.]

[It's not Robin's fault! It's my own weak defenses!]

[The song was amazing!]

[Best song I've heard this year!]

[Miss Robin is a genius!]

[One more! One more!]

...

Seeing the rapidly changing atmosphere.

Robin couldn't help laughing again.

A bright smile blossomed across her face.

The room's mood instantly became lively once more.

She casually chatted with viewers while selectively responding to questions.

Then—

Someone suddenly mentioned something.

A message flashed quickly across the screen.

[Wait, didn't Robin say there would be another new song later?]

The livestream room froze.

Then exploded.

Instantly.

Everyone remembered.

There was still another song waiting at the end of the stream.

The atmosphere became heated once again.

Countless viewers began waiting excitedly.

Of course.

There was only one small request.

This time...

Could the song perhaps be a little more cheerful?
