Chapter 38:
Many people couldn't sleep that night, even though Tang Yu was fast asleep.
Among them were countless self-media creators. The collapse of Fanfan Food—a top 500 national enterprise—was a massive traffic goldmine for them. And at the center of it all were Silver Wolf and Tang Yu.
So, overnight, a flood of exaggerated legends about Silver Wolf and Tang Yu exploded across the internet.
{SHOCKING! A teenage boy and a 2D girl hack into a major company, leak its tax evasion evidence, and get the chairman arrested!} {Cyber police helpless—history's strongest hacker turns out to be…} {Even Bai Wu Di would shake his head. The new hacking star: Silver Wolf rises!} {Watch this: one casual move from this boy-girl duo collapses the global internet.} {Hacker Alliance issues statement: Silver Wolf and Tang Yu's hacking tech is a thousand years ahead of the era.} {.....}
To chase traffic, these self-media creators exaggerated wildly.
Most netizens believed whatever they read. Seeing how insanely hyped the stories were, they followed the trail straight to Tang Yu's live room and hit follow.
{Huh? The host isn't live… sigh! Wanna see if the 2D girl is as legendary as they say.} {Big-d*ck bros, tell me—what time do they usually stream?} {Hehe! I'm camping here. Heard this 2D beauty has super white legs!} {...}
After following, and seeing no stream, netizens started chatting in the dark live room.
Meanwhile, the follower count skyrocketed to 1 million at lightspeed.
This number stunned many streamers in the industry.
PDD: "There's this 2D + boy stream that's blowing up lately. If I get the chance, I'll raid their room with the bros."
Da Ma Hou: "What? Who's Silver Wolf? Why did she hack my account and melt my gear?"
Dai Mei'er: "Hehe, family, I knew it ages ago. That host is gonna explode—I already built a good relationship with them."
The next day!
Tang Yu carefully extracted himself from between the two girls.
Perhaps because they had too much fun last night, both Hu Tao and Silver Wolf were still fast asleep.
After washing up, Tang Yu tiptoed downstairs to buy breakfast.
When he returned, Silver Wolf and Hu Tao were already awake.
"You're up. Go wash up and eat breakfast," Tang Yu said, swinging the bag in front of them with a gentle smile.
Hu Tao frowned at the contents of the bag: "Why is it soy milk and youtiao again?"
Silver Wolf had never eaten these before. She blinked curiously, pointed at the bag, and asked: "What is this?"
Hu Tao answered: "Junk food. Don't eat it."
Silver Wolf: "....."
Tang Yu: "....."
"Just make do for now!" Tang Yu said helplessly.
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf exchanged a look, both pouting reluctantly as they took the bag from Tang Yu.
One hour later, all three let out satisfied burps at the same time.
After getting ready, it was already 10 AM.
"Tang Yu, Silver Wolf and I are heading to Wangsheng Hall to discuss the Cloud Cemetery stuff. You stay home alone today!"
Hu Tao held Silver Wolf's hand and said to Tang Yu.
"Okay," Tang Yu agreed without hesitation.
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf walked out hand-in-hand. Only then did Tang Yu breathe a sigh of relief and collapse onto the bed.
Staring at the ceiling, Tang Yu began planning his future.
Right now, Silver Wolf and Hu Tao were already "unclear" with him. In the future, he definitely had to give them proper status.
So, the current house was obviously not enough.
Buying a house became top priority.
But he didn't have enough money for a house yet.
After thinking it over, he still needed to make more money first. A lot of money— ideally enough to buy a small island someday.
After all, his future wives wouldn't just be Hu Tao and Silver Wolf.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu mentally communicated with the system: "Open the system shop."
{Ding: System shop opened.}
With the system prompt, the shop interface reappeared in Tang Yu's mind.
This time, the other female characters in the shop were all lit up.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Kafka-auntie's chest is huge! Nice." "Alicia is great too, Himeko is also sexy." "Oh my god! Klee is so cute—should I buy her? But Klee looks so small… if I… with her… wouldn't that be illegal?" "Yanfei, hehe, this little lawyer—let her come be my assistant. Then even Zhang San wouldn't dare mess with me, right?" "Wow! It's Qiqi. Qiqi is so old, definitely legal… but if I buy her, will Hu Tao bury her?"
Looking at the dazzling array of female characters, Tang Yu's mind buzzed.
"Sigh… better not buy any new ones yet. At least solve the house problem first."
After looking around, Tang Yu reluctantly exited the system shop.
If he bought another new female character now, this house wouldn't be able to fit them all!
"The audience doesn't know me well enough yet. If I want to make money streaming solo, I need to do something crazy," Tang Yu raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself: "I still haven't used the Geo Archon role-play card from last time!"
"Why not role-play as the Geo Archon? Let the viewers see something amazing?"
Thinking of this, Tang Yu got excited.
The Geo Archon's aura was attractive to both men and women. As long as he role-played as Zhongli, would he still lack popularity?
{Ding: Detected host's intention to role-play as the Geo Archon. Temporary task triggered.}
Task Details: Role-play as the Geo Archon for 10 hours of streaming and receive over 1 million yuan in gift rewards.
Success Reward: Skill — Debt Repayment.
Failure Punishment: No food allowed for three days.
The system's voice suddenly rang out. Tang Yu's eyes widened instantly.
Debt Repayment skill? What the hell is that?
No— the real explosion was the failure punishment.
Three days without food? Is that something a human can endure?
