42: Trial Live Broadcast Room (Part 1)

Three days later, at 9:00 AM, the official Weibo of "Underworld Culture Media Co., Ltd." posted the news that Miss Star would be judging evil ghosts and heterodox cultivators at 8:00 PM. The post included a nine-square grid of images and some rules for watching the livestream.

Within a few hours, the news exploded online, and netizens flooded the comments section.

...They had seen sleep-streams before and dabbled in eating-streams, but this judgment livestream was a novel thing that the vast number of netizens were seeing for the very first time.

As night fell and the clock hand quietly pointed to 7:20 PM, Miss Star's judgment livestream had already entered the preparation stage.

Once everything was ready, Star, with her long black curly hair, leaned slightly against You Xiaoqian.

"It's so tight!" Star panted heavily, rubbing her chest pads.

"Sister Xiaoqian, did you get the JK uniform in size S by mistake?"

"How is that possible? This captain is rigorous in her work; I couldn't have taken the wrong one." You Xiaoqian felt a bit guilty; in truth, she had gained weight from all the feasting recently.

So, she had secretly arranged for a Ghost Messenger to swap Star's JK uniform with her own.

"You're a big man, just endure it a bit longer!"

"Fine, fine!" Star didn't dare to sit down at all, fearing that with a 'crack,' the JK uniform would snap.

At that moment, You Lin took out pink cat ears and placed them on Star's head.

"Exactly, that's the vibe! Cat ears and a JK uniform are a perfect match!!!"

Star had a long face. "Manager! Do I really have to wear cat ears?"

"This is a judgment livestream! Shouldn't we be a bit more serious?"

You Lin clenched his fist and shook it at Star. "Serious works too! A shirt, a pencil skirt, black stockings, and high—"

"Stop, stop, stop! JK with cat ears is great." Star quickly made a stop gesture toward You Lin.

Ever since the trip to Jiang Family Town, which left her feet covered in blisters, Star didn't want to hear the words 'high heels' at all lately!

...The staff of the Underworld Livestream Team cautiously tinkered with the equipment used for the broadcast.

They adjusted every knob and button to ensure the camera could capture the MVP footage and display it from the most appropriate angle.

After a round of careful calibration, the equipment was firmly fixed to the other side of the desk.

Next, the staff skillfully operated various cables and interfaces, successfully projecting the screen signal onto that incredibly massive ultra-high-definition display.

This move not only cleverly solved the issue of maintaining the proper distance during the broadcast but also allowed Star to quickly and clearly browse every real-time comment sent by netizens as if she were right there.

At 8:00 PM sharp, the Underworld Judgment Livestream officially kicked off.

"Hello, hello! Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the Underworld Livestream Room. I am your beloved Miss Star~"

Accompanied by this warm and enthusiastic opening, Star made her grand appearance with a bare face, without any beauty filters turned on.

Those bright, dark ink-colored eyes shimmered with a charming glow under the lights.

Her porcelain-white skin was as flawless as mutton-fat jade.

It was so delicate that even her pores were invisible, and her pink lips were like newly blossomed peach flowers.

When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, so enchanting that people were intoxicated, unable to help but give an 'auntie smile'.

At this time, a string of bullet chats popped up on the screen: "Miss Star's Husband No. 1: Ooh ooh ooh! My wife's bare face is truly as beautiful as a celestial being."

"Wants to be Star's Dog: Woof woof woof..."

"The Moonlight is Seductive, Star is Enchanting: Wife! Our baby is awake and waiting for milk. Hurry up and finish work to come home."

"Did You Pet the Cat Today: Tsk tsk tsk! Look at you group of LSPs (Old Perverts)."

"Forever 18: Sister Streamer, can you tell us which skincare products you usually use? Please give us a link~"

...The comment section was flooded with a wave of flattery, but most were still asking for skincare product links.

As expected, regardless of gender or age, the love of beauty is universal.

Seeing how enthusiastic the netizens were, Star felt there was no harm in responding.

"The streamer doesn't use skincare products! It's the Beauty Pill rewarded by the Logistics Department after completing missions. Just one pill gives you the skin of an eighteen-year-old again."

"One pill a year, only 9,998 incense value."

Forever 18: Ahhh! Put up the link quickly!

Highest Good is Like Water: This lord wants to grab ten! A must-have for treating acne-prone skin!

A Bowl of Pig's Trotters: Damn! I don't have that much incense. How did you guys save up?

Highest Good is Like Water @A Bowl of Pig's Trotters: Exchange it in the underworld app wallet. 1 incense = 1 RMB. There's a promotion now—top up ten thousand and get five free Exorcism Talismans..."

Star watched the group of netizens in the comment section salivating over the Beauty Pills.

An indescribable sense of pleasure welled up in her heart. "Joining the Underworld is simply the smartest decision of my life. I can work until I retire, and I can keep working even after I'm dead."

Star said quite proudly: "The Beauty Pill is an internal employee benefit and is not sold on the market."

"Ahhh... Ying ying ying..." The comment section was full of 'ying ying' monsters and emojis of crawling in a dark and twisted way... In the past on the Likely a reference to a short video livestream, she couldn't even dream of showing off or teasing the netizens; she was too busy trying to please them!

She had been terrified of netizens scolding 'him' to death, or them jumping ship to another streamer without leaving a tip.

"Sigh! It's good to have a solid backing. Netizens don't even dare to scold me!" Star felt delighted.

Beside her, You Lin noticed that the atmosphere in the livestream room had become quite heated.

He lightly tapped the table to signal Star that it was time to start the real main event.

Star understood perfectly and gave a sweet smile to the camera.

"Darlings, what follows is today's main event!" She intentionally teased them and clapped her hands.

"Next, please welcome today's first guest, an Underworld death row inmate—the Peak Third-Tier Ghost Nightmare, making a grand entrance."

The camera panned, and You Xiaoqian walked into the livestream room carrying the listless Ghost Nightmare.
