126: Liaozhai broadcast

The success of horror echo was inevitable.

In a place where horror games were virtually non-existent, a game of this caliber was enough to make players scream in terror yet be unable to stop playing.

Not to mention that in this game, Ye Bai had given Qin Yushan many settings related to folklore horror.

For example, the First Seven Days in the night of returning souls; players initially had no idea what was going on.

Nowadays, people are cremated immediately after death, so they knew nothing about these traditions.

The chapter the night of returning souls brought them immense terror.

Things like deceased relatives returning on the seventh day, the family needing to prepare food for the ritual and then avoid them, and the prohibition of black cats jumping over the coffin to prevent a corpse transformation.

Also, the need to cover all mirrors with white cloth to prevent souls from being sucked in, or to prevent the reflection of the body from causing a corpse resurrection.

There were also funeral supplies, such as not painting the eyes on paper effigies, and white candles being offerings for ghosts.

Then there was the ghost marriage in red embroidered shoes, the red-clothed vengeful spirits, and how ghosts feared light, rooster crows, black dog blood, copper coins, peach wood swords, and Bagua mirrors—items that ward off evil.

Plus, things like not combing one's hair in front of a mirror at midnight, or you'd see things you shouldn't or open a portal to the underworld.

And not picking up money on the side of the road. Especially money wrapped in red paper, which could be road-buying money or a betrothal gift/dowry for a ghost marriage; picking it up meant agreeing to the marriage contract.

This series of settings was incredibly rich for players who had never encountered them before.

By evening, when strange women of liaozhai began airing, a player finally cleared the game.

It was a Streamer named Garbage Dump, who had intended from the start to be the first to finish.

So he prepared some energy drinks and started grinding from the moment the game was released at midnight.

He ground away until six in the evening, finally finishing the entirety of horror echo.

It was only after he finished that he realized the drinks he prepared were a complete waste.

How could anyone sleep? A ghost would pop out every now and then, nearly scaring him to death.

Fortunately, he had been lying in the holographic pod the whole time; if something went wrong with his body, the holographic pod would alert him.

"Friends in the audience, I've finished the whole thing," he said. "I can only describe this game with two words: True God!"

"The True God of horror games!"

"Maybe you didn't notice much while watching me play, but the plot is actually very clever. For instance, the settings regarding ghosts are all very logical."

"After playing, this Streamer feels like ghosts really exist in this world. As expected of a game made by Master Qin and the Wandering God."

"I think if this game doesn't win the game awards this year, there's really nothing more to say."

"Everyone can wait a bit longer. Tomorrow, I'll edit the game video and include a walkthrough!"

Garbage Dump had it all figured out. The number of people in his stream today was quite substantial.

His stream never had this many people before; he had to seize this opportunity.

Unlike other Streamers, he used to stream King of Glory, but his skills were only average.

There was no shortage of King of Glory Streamers.

But now, this game had truly brought him massive traffic. If he could produce a walkthrough, his popularity would skyrocket.

[The first one to clear it, awesome!]

[The Streamer is really fast; Streamer's side is only at the night of returning souls.]

[I watched Da Chuan's stream; he's also only on the last chapter.]

[Edit it quickly, don't rest yet.]

[Oh my god, you were streaming before I went to bed, and you're still streaming now that I'm awake. Go to sleep, Streamer, I'll watch the replay myself.]

[Praise the replay function of Shenyu; it's fantastic.]

Garbage Dump quickly logged off to sleep; if he didn't, he felt he might drop dead.

However, he still set an alarm; he had to get up early to edit the video.

Meanwhile, strange women of liaozhai also began airing.

This was Ye Bai's first work transitioning from animation to television. Although his fans weren't very happy, they still had to show their support.

Of course, there were plenty of onlookers there just for the spectacle.

Everyone knew that filming a TV series was different from making an animation.

If this went wrong, he would truly fall from his pedestal.

Ye Bai also took a rare break. He and his Roommates ate barbecue and drank while waiting for the show to air.

The first episode soon began, telling the story of Lian Cheng.

As usual, four episodes were aired every day.

Actually, Zhang Zuo had originally thought of airing two episodes a day, so it would take 19 days to finish.

But Ye Bai felt that if people were going to watch, they should enjoy it to the fullest. This way, they could follow the e-sports event right after.

That's right, he had already planned out the audience's entertainment activities.

By the time they finished the e-sports event, his mini-game platform should be online, and they could continue playing mini-games then.

Sigh, he really made a huge contribution to preventing the people of this world from suffering from emotional illness.

Ye Bai watched intently, studying where improvements were needed while also evaluating the acting of each actor to see if there were opportunities for future collaboration.

Just as nervous as him were Chen Chen and the other actors in the crew.

Even though it wasn't his turn to appear yet, he was still anxious.

This was the first TV series filmed by his good buddy; he had to support it no matter what.

"Ye Bai, do you really think my acting is okay? I won't get bashed, will I?" Chen Chen asked.

Ye Bai: "You'll definitely get bashed since you're playing a villain. Your acting is beyond doubt. Next time, I'll give you a positive role to play, and your reputation will improve."

Grom ate barbecue and asked, "You still plan on filming more?"

"Not making animations anymore?"

Ye Bai frowned. "I'll make them, but not right now. I've already written what my next show will be; I'll film it after the e-sports competition ends."

He looked at Chen Chen as he spoke. Actually, Chen Chen's looks were decent, though his acting might need some polishing.

But his strength was that he was obedient—very obedient!

On set, others would be somewhat unhappy when scolded, but Chen Chen would just lower his head and continue to reflect on his work.

It was clear he really wanted to make it in the entertainment industry.

When the Great Qin series comes, he'd give him a good role.

If he didn't look out for his brother, who would he look out for?

Meanwhile, Talon was watching strange women of liaozhai with his wife. As for Little Lite... he was in his bedroom alone watching journey to the west on his phone.

This show seemed to have horror elements, so the couple didn't plan on letting the child watch.

"Qiao Sheng, a native of Jinning, was talented from a young age. Shi Xiaolian had a daughter named Lian Cheng..."

The opening poem first stunned Talon. Accompanied by the narration, he couldn't help but sigh, "Ye Bai is still Ye Bai."

This opening narration had already informed the audience of the names of the male and female leads.

And the female lead lying in bed at the start, looking as if she were about to die, piqued the audience's interest to continue watching.
