Jiang Hua wiped his long knife clean, and after finishing this task, it felt as if all his energy had been drained.
He slowly lay down, still fixedly gazing at Tong Sui, gripping tightly with all the strength he could muster.
Everyone thought the beginning of the apocalypse was filled with despair and pain, that survival was merely a trained instinct; but for him, it felt like a chaotic liberation.
And he had found hope amidst the apocalypse.
That crystal ball, once elusive, transformed into a bright moon on the horizon, drawing near, embracing him.
In his foggy last moments, he heard his little moon softly whispering in his ear, gently soothing his hair with warm palms, “Goodnight, little friend Jiang Hua.”
The system announced: [Detected that task target Jiang Hua has died. The host will exit this world in ten seconds.]
[10, 9, 8… 2… 1 successful exit.]
Later, humanity no longer saw the shadows of zombies, but retained the powers as a new starting point for human civilization.
Among them was one very remarkable name.
At just over twenty, he had researched two groundbreaking achievements in a matter of months, saving all of humanity.
After that, he chose to live modestly, dedicating his life to just one thing—being with his lover.
The author has something to say:
This world might have an epilogue after all others end, including “if” lines and the like. Other worlds might also have something similar.
When Tong Sui woke up again, he distinctly felt that the air quality around him was much better than during the apocalypse.
However, the room was pitch black; he couldn’t see anything clearly, only vaguely discerning the outlines of objects.
He staggered to his feet and walked to the window, stretching out his hand to pull open the tightly drawn curtains.
Blinding sunlight flooded in, causing him to instinctively shield his eyes.
Outside, the weather was splendid, with the sky a deep blue, and the community’s greenery well-maintained, every unmutated plant lush and thriving.
It was something he hadn’t seen in decades.
Tong Sui shifted his gaze back into the room, involuntarily frowning.
The room was small but cluttered with all sorts of miscellaneous items, an array of electronic devices that seemed to be lighting equipment, and in the corner, a pile of jewelry, hairbands, cosmetics, and even wigs.
The wardrobe was stuffed with beautiful dresses—JK uniforms, Hanfu, Lolita, and more.
Despite the small size of the room, the most orderly part was the desktop and the backdrop behind the camera, which was exquisitely and dreamily arranged. The chaotic disarray beyond the camera’s view was completely unexpected.
All these things left Tong Sui feeling dazed; he couldn’t help but doubt if he had wandered into a female streamer’s home.
The system chimed in promptly: [Do you wish to receive information about this world?]
Tong Sui quickly nodded in agreement.
The system continued: [Beginning transmission of information regarding this world.]
[This is a danmei romance variety novel. “Heartbeat Rhythm” is a show focused on male-male relationships, inviting six single men from various professions for each season’s recording.]
[The main content revolves around the protagonist, the shou, and the other five men who like him, culminating in a selection after numerous tug-of-war moments.]
[This time, the antagonists consist of four men aside from the main pairing. They are the reticent, sharp-tongued esports player younger brother, Chi Xingyu; the gentle, refined doctor, Zhou Siyuan; the overbearing, playful real estate heir, Zhong Yi; and the cold, calculating CEO, Jiang Ciyan.]
[After the show, they all turn against the protagonists’ love, experiencing bleak outcomes rather than tearing the main couple apart.]
[Your identity is that of a streamer on a livestream platform. To earn tuition for university, you registered as a streamer, hoping to draw attention with various adornments to earn more money.]
[Your task is to save these four antagonists.]
Once all the information transmitted, several photos appeared before Tong Sui.
Luxury cars, villas, high-end goods.
Tong Sui: “…?”
He was about to get angry.
Just looking at these photos, one might wonder who actually needs saving.
In the center of each photo were four young, handsome men.
Each had a different style, all incredibly good-looking; yet upon closer inspection, each resembled his lover, though upon further scrutiny, none were.
Tong Sui: “???”
What was going on here?
In the past, he could distinguish by appearance, but now it was as if this shortcut had been closed off.
The system: [……]
Don’t ask, it didn’t know either.
This must be an increase in difficulty imposed from above.
Seeing the system at a loss was a bit overwhelming for Tong Sui, but regardless, the antagonists he needed to help were in this dating show.
His primary goal was to get on the show.
Tong Sui walked into the bathroom to splash his face, only to realize that the room was indeed quite small, lacking even a kitchen and balcony as it was shared accommodation.
The rent in H City was just too high.
The former owner’s current income could only afford such a living situation.
After washing his face, he sat down at the esports desk, the most valuable item in the entire room.
The system reminded him: [It’s almost time; you should start your livestream now.]
A livestream?
This was the current means of survival for the former owner; he glanced at his account balance and decisively powered on the computer.
Tong Sui was clueless about these things, but fortunately, most of the equipment was already set up by the former owner. He clicked on the small icon according to his memory.
Start livestream.
The number of online viewers in the upper right corner quickly jumped to double digits.
Tong Sui exclaimed in surprise to the system, “Is there already someone watching so soon?”
