Chapter 65: Live Stream, Round Two!

Song Qian delivered the message in one breath, then waited quietly for Ye Lingchen’s reply.

He was extremely anxious.

As the vice president-cum-director of Huyu, he naturally had an eye for such talents.

After listening to Grave Robber’s Chronicles, his first impression was that the novel would definitely be a hit!

A super mega-hit!

Because of that, while others were still immersed in the novel, he had already thought of the most important thing—copyright!

Now that the platform’s performance was affected by TikTok, things are not looking good. They desperately needed something eye-catching to gain popularity!

If Grave Robber’s Chronicles turned out to be as good as Ye Lingchen claimed, that it will get more interesting later, he was willing to take a gamble!

“Of course!”

Song Qian did not wait long before Ye Lingchen calmly replied.

“Haha, you’re very straightforward! I’ll draft up the contract as soon as possible.”

Song Qian let out a breath of relief. Huyu’s comeback depended on this!

Back in the dorm…

The entire male dorm was lit up, extremely lively. Everyone was excitedly discussing something. Ye Lingchen perked his ears to eavesdrop.

“F*cking amazing! I never expected a horror story to be told like that!”

“Y-God is amazing. At first, I was there to watch him gaming, but I ended up listening to him telling a story for two hours!”

“Who wasn’t? Who would have thought that not only were his gaming skills great, but his storytelling was equally as epic?”

“Stop your bullshit. Just the thought of future storytelling sessions from Y-God is making me tremble with excitement.”

“Ah! Such torture. Why can’t he finish it in one go? I want to know what’s in the coffin!”

“F*ck! Class monitor, you curve wrecker. Weren’t you supposed to be studying?”

“Sigh, don’t remind me. I was on the way back and listened to a portion of Y-God’s stream, after which I ran home in a hurry to watch it myself…”

Along the way, all the students were discussing excitedly.

Ye Lingchen’s lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but his capabilities did not allow it!

This feeling of calm swag as everyone discussed his work gave Ye Lingchen a feeling of being the only clear-headed person in the world. It was extremely satisfying!

Back in his dorm, his three roommates’ faces were glowing with uncontrollable excitement.

“Ye’zi, where were you?! Do you know what you missed? Grave Robber’s Chronicles!” Potato rushed forward as he spoke.

Little Gen chimed along “Never before and never after. A god-tier first-rate book! It’s just too f*cking amazing!”

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, smiling, “Where’s Xiang?”

“Hahaha, he’s shaking in fear on the bed. Be careful when you approach. Don’t scare him any further,” Potato laughed.

Xiang slept under Ye Lingchen’s bunk.

When Ye Lingchen approached, Xiang had his head wrapped in his blanket quivering in horror.

Ye Lingchen smiled at the sight, then climbed onto his bed and finally opened the system’s mission tab.

‘Trial mission: Complete a classic work within a month. Gather 100,000 popularity.’

‘Mission completion: 19,329/100,000’

He still needed more or less 80,000 popularity. At the current rate of progress, it should be done in less than a month.

However, Ye Lingchen also knew that popularity will be harder to acquire later on. He can only hope that Huyu’s main page recommendation worked.

The next day, Ye Lingchen completed his class as usual, then headed to the internet cafe again.

The live stream session was from 7 pm to 9 pm, but he needed to arrive a little earlier.

Near the campus town, internet cafes were always full of people. Ye Lingchen had to compete for the private room.

That would not work in the long run, making the live stream in his dorm was also unrealistic. It would seem that he needed to find a house soon.

Capital City’s housing prices may be expensive, but he was loaded. He should be able to afford one.

While Ye Lingchen was lost in thoughts, the internet cafe finally had an empty private room.

Entering the room, he then shut the door and lights. Proficiently setting up his live steam.

“Hello everyone. This is Y-God’s stream. Grave Robber’s Chronicles will resume from where we left off.”

[Wah, Y-God is finally online!]

[I’ve waited for over an hour, the story is finally starting!]

[Cut the nonsense, let me calm myself with this cruise ship.]

…

In an instant, the number of viewers in Ye Lingchen’s stream exceeded 10,000 people and the numbers were still growing!

At the same time, Huyu’s main page had displayed the Grave Robber’s Chronicles banner in large font at the top of the other popular banners.

Little Yu was a host that focused on the horror theme. His hobby was to share and discuss horror themes and stories with others. He would frequently share interesting horror novels.

He was habitually going on Huyu Streaming, ready to kill some time.

However, the pitch-black banner located on the top of the streaming platform page caught his attention.

[This is a scary, horrifying, and foreign world. Welcome to—Grave Robber’s Chronicles!]

Grave Robber’s Chronicles?

This name… is very succinct.

‘Is it about grave robbing? Is grave robbing that scary? Is there anything special?’

‘Since it’s about graves, perhaps it had something to do with evil spirits.’

Little Yu joined the stream out of curiosity.

Ye Lingchen’s low throaty voice came from the pitch-black screen.

“We have gathered around. I saw the armor he wore on his body. It was the last coffin.

The official name for it was the Gold Threaded Jade Armor. However, for some unknown reason, the jade pieces had all turned black. As I stepped closer, I was dumbstruck. I could see the chest of the corpse rising and falling as though it was still breathing. The breathing sound suddenly became obvious. I could almost see the vapor coming out from his nose. Big Kui’s mouth was agape with fear, shouting: This… this… this thing is still f*cking alive!”

The strange corpse immediately sent chills down Little Yu’s spine, immersing him further into the story.

Following that, one after another, scenes of horror played out. Strange occurrences happened one by one, putting all the listeners into a fearful trance.

Including Little Yu.

‘Now this is a true horror story!’

Compared to those cliche stories of ghosts hitting the wall, blinded by ghosts, or being sat on by a ghost, this was the real deal!

This had broken away from the childish ghost stories. The entire scene was grand and grim, full of plot twists, while the demons were also unexpectedly scary. Altogether, that made this an impressive novel.

Little Yu’s heart was pounding hard, he felt both scared and excited at the same time.

He had suddenly realized that all those horror stories he had read before were trash!

Little Yu’s eyes were red, as though he had seen a light source after walking alone in the dark. This was the thing he had been looking for all the while!

“Today’s story will end here. If you liked it, you can follow me by clicking the button on the top right corner. Tomorrow, same time, Grave Robber’s Chronicles chapter three!”

[That’s it! I won’t be sleeping tonight again!]

[Same here. If I don’t finish the horror story in one go, I’ll feel uneasy. The suspense is killing me!]

[F*ck! Two hours passed already? Was it that short?!]

[Host please tell us more, I’ll send you cruise ships and rockets¹!]
