Chapter 176: Mu Sheng Was God Mu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A lot of the viewers religiously watched God Mu’s live telecast before going to bed, so they found the voice very familiar the moment they heard it.
Why did she sound so much like God Mu? Was Mu Sheng God Mu?
Before anyone managed to raise their doubts, other viewers had already disregarded the notion.
How could this be possible? They would more sooner believe someone saying aliens were attacking earth than think Mu Sheng was God Mu.
Everyone kept convincing themselves it was a sheer coincidence that Mu Sheng sounded like God Mu.
Despite all the thoughts running through their heads, they disappeared in an instant. After composing themselves, they continued watching the live telecast. Everyone was blown away by the exquisite face appearing on the screen.
[What beauty software did she use? How could anyone look as beautiful as her?]
[Considering how stunning she is, how could she just be a small-time artist? This doesn’t make sense at all. She simply looks breathtaking.]
[Let me tell you why she is still a small-time actress. She has non-existent acting skills, her singing is terrible, and she is a dishonest woman. No one likes people like her. Only people like you who never followed the entertainment news are blind enough to fall for her good looks.]
All kinds of comments were floating online.
The host quickly changed the subject, “Welcome to Cat Live, Miss Mu. I heard…”
Since the host was highly experienced, he did not get flustered when he saw the audience’s dispute. Instead, he continued with the program and made small talk with Mu Sheng.
They chatted mostly about “Song of Youth”. Since most of the viewers were not interested in the entertainment industry, they found the subject boring and left the live telecast before long to watch their favorite live telecaster.
The moment they entered God Mu’s channel, they realized the screen was black and she was not on air.
[How can this be? Isn’t today a major industry event? How could God Mu not show her face when everyone is online?]
[This is so unprofessional. She lied to us. A few days ago, she told us she wasn’t coming online until Saturday. It is already 15 minutes into the agreed time, but she isn’t here yet. Is she playing us?]
[I am not going to watch her live telecasts from now on. She lies all the time and doesn’t even stream punctually. She told us to come at 8:00 pm, but she is late. Does she think that rules don’t matter because she is the hottest live telecaster on the platform?]
God Mu did not show up regardless of the comments appearing on her channel. The channel remained quiet and the screen was pitch black the entire time.
Tiger Shark was out to win, so it sent people to keep an eye on God Mu’s channel so that they could report back the moment she appeared online.
The moment Tiger Shark caught wind that God Mu was not doing her live telecasts, the Tiger Shark live telecasters and employees heaved a sigh of relief.
“Did something happen to her? Perhaps she got into a fight with Cat Live?” Jiang Rou’er gloated when she heard the news.
“They are probably in a disagreement. Despite the major event, Cat Live didn’t do any promotion for God Mu. Instead, they gave a third-rate actress the best promotion. Haha! This is awesome,” said Pumpkin happily.
Pumpkin used to be a core live telecaster on Cat Live. His popularity had declined sharply on Tiger Shark ever since he left Cat Live and he ended up losing a lot of perks, so he blamed God Mu for this.
Now that God Mu was in trouble, he was beside himself with joy.
“Enough. I heard Ruan Yingying is coming. We plan on welcoming her together.”
“Uh huh.”
Tiger Shark did their best to make Ruan Yingying look good. Arrangements were made for her to game with a few big-time live telecasters. Also, they organized a party to welcome her.
Ruan Yingying finally arrived late at 9:00 pm.
Ruan Yingying was dressed in a pink floral dress with matching white flower-shaped studs, making her look glowing. She smiled gently as she said, “Sorry I am late. I got held up a little.”
There was a huge gulf when it came to the appearance of an artist and a live telecaster.
Jiang Rou’er was considered a beauty in the industry. However, Ruan Yingying was flawless from all angles, so Jiang Rou’er could not compare to her.
[I always thought Jiang Rou’er was pretty. Now that she is standing in front of a real artist, she is starting to look like a maid.]
[Don’t you usually watch Cat Live? What are you doing on Tiger Shark? Run back to God Mu this instant! What’s wrong with Jiang Rou’er? At least she has the courage to show the world her real face. Your tranny doesn’t even have the guts to show her face. This is hilarious.]
[God Mu said she was showing her face today, but she has yet to come online after being an hour late. No wonder she is late. God Mu must have checked out her face in the mirror before she started streaming and felt worried about showing it online. ]
Since Tiger Shark had hired Ruan Yingying to appear at the event and several main live telecasters were here to support her as well, a lot of viewers swarmed online to watch. In an instant, the viewership skyrocketed.
Throughout all the live telecast channels out there, no one could even come close to the effects of Ruan Yingying’s appearance.
Jiang Rou’er glanced at Ruan Yingying and smiled enthusiastically as she said, “I heard you are filming ‘Song of Youth’. I love the novel. I’m so happy you are starring in it.”
Ruan Yingying did not react to the flattery. She glanced at the fine lines on Jiang Rou’er’s face that couldn’t be concealed even by the thick makeup she was wearing and felt annoyed.
Who was Jiang Rou’er calling big sister? How could Jiang Rou’er have the cheek to claim to be younger with a face like that?
Since they were on air, Ruan Yingying did not openly express her displeasure. Instead, she smiled and said, “Do you like the novel too? What do you like about the female lead?”
Jiang Rou’er went quiet. She had not read the novel before and was merely making small talk with Ruan Yingying and flattering her. How could she possibly know anything about the female lead in the novel?
The atmosphere promptly became very awkward. The host felt Jiang Rou’er was terrible at conversation. He helped her by changing the subject. “Do you usually game?”
Ruan Yingying nodded. “Yes, I do. I’m not that good though. I barely made it into God of War level this season.”
One of the big shots at Talent Scout Entertainment liked to game, so Ruan Yingying practiced hard in the hope that they might cross paths online. Hence, she was pretty good at gaming among all the female artists out there.
“Wow!” The host was genuinely surprised. “That’s awesome! Are you at God of War level? I haven’t even made it to that level before! We will be going into the gaming segment very soon. I can’t wait to see how you perform.”
Ruan Yingying smiled. “I will do my best.”
Before long, Ruan Yingying started to game.
To everyone’s shock, Ruan Yingying was not kidding. Although she could not compare to the other main gaming live telecasters, it was clear that she was pretty good at gaming.
It was rare that a girl could game so well.
[Awesome! Even though she looks so cute, she is so good at gaming. I adore girls like her.]
[Tiger Shark did a good job at picking an artist for the event. Since she is so good at gaming, the platform can consider using her to endorse a couple of games.]
Ruan Yingying helped to make Tiger Shark’s viewership surge swiftly.
Its viewership kept soaring until it finally overtook Cat Live to become the most popular live telecast platform that night. However, it did not stop there and continued climbing.
The host was still making small talk with Mu Sheng at Cat Live.
After the operations manager came back, he noticed that the program had yet to get to the main event, so he quickly waved his hands.
The host was previously distracted by Mu Sheng’s stunning good looks. When he realized his error, he snapped out of his daze and quickly got to the point. “Miss Mu, do you usually watch live telecasts?”
Mu Sheng shook her head.
The audience picked up their keyboards and wanted to scold Mu Sheng. What was Cat Live thinking? Why did they hire someone who did not know anything about live telecasts to appear at the event? It was a major disrespect to the audience.
“Haha! Sure thing.” The host quickly changed the subject. “It doesn’t matter since I am not a pro at gaming either. I simply love playing. Since this is a live telecast event, let’s game.”
“Okay,” replied Mu Sheng.
The moment the host claimed he was not a pro, everyone went into a furor.
[Dude, are you trying a little too hard to be modest because she’s pretty? How could you be considered a rookie? Do you really think you are a professional host? Have you forgotten that your team was the first runner-up internationally?]
[No matter how good he is, he can’t go against destiny since she is going to be such a burden. He is at the God of War level. If he plays with a rookie like her, is it not as good as losing?]
Considering Mu Sheng was not a gamer, the host signed onto an account that was only at the platinum level. “I will use this account. Since it’s just a game, let’s focus on having fun and relax. The game will be over before you know it.”
Mu Sheng unexpectedly did not catch on to the host’s efforts to make things easier for her. She even glanced at the host quizzically. “Is this your account?”
Although Mu Sheng was just asking normally, her face was cool and it seemed as though she was looking down on the host.
Before the host uttered a word, comments exploded on the screen once more.
[Oh god. She is so rude. The host used a platinum level account to accommodate a rookie like her. Who does she think she is? She deserves to be a small-time artist.]
[Now that I have seen Ruan Yingying, I finally realized why you are not as popular as her despite your pretty face. When it comes down to it all, character matters.]
After chatting with Mu Sheng for some time, the host had some idea of her straightforward personality and knew she was not looking down on him, so he did not take it to heart. “Yes, I will game with this. Why don’t you register for an account? Since we are gaming together, I might need your help.”
Even though the host was just being modest and joking, Mu Sheng replied solemnly, “Okay. Just follow behind me when the game starts.”
The host was stunned by her reaction.
The viewers became even angrier.
In an instant, the viewers felt absolutely indignant and all kinds of questions and question marks flooded the comments online.
Mu Sheng disregarded the comments and turned on her computer. “I don’t need to register for an account. I already have one. What’s your ID? I can add you to my account.”
“24K Knockout.”
Before long, the host received a request for someone to add him to an account.
[Mu has sent a friend request.]
The host asked unsuspectingly, “Are you Mu?”
“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng nodded.
The host accepted the invitation to be friends and invited Mu Sheng to game with him.
The moment Mu Sheng entered, gold light flashed as a dragon erupted on the screen, and a girl dressed in white with a ponytail joined his team.
The host went speechless and swallowed his saliva when he saw that her account was at Invincible God of War level. He was a little confused. “Is this your account?”
“Uh huh.”
“…”
[Oh god! What is this I am seeing? Is she at Invincible God of War level? Also, why is her ID the same as God Mu?]
[It is very common for people to have similar IDs inside the game. Don’t tell me Mu Sheng borrowed someone else’s account? Doesn’t she know she will also get paired with opponents at the same level if she borrowed an account that is at Invincible God of War level? Is it worth dying for the sake of pretending to be a good gamer?]
[Can the host click on Mu Sheng’s details for a look? Why does she look just like God Mu? Is this God Mu’s account or something?]
The host was also particularly curious. Since viewers kept asking, he decided to click on Mu Sheng’s details to check them out.
Even an ex-professional gamer like him was stunned to see her 100% success rate in her last 200 games.
The viewers went into a commotion and kept raising their suspicions in the comments.
The game had already commenced.
The moment they started, the host exclaimed in shock. “This is quite the coincidence. I think we got matched to Tiger Shark’s live telecasters and artists.”
The viewers also told Ruan Yingying and the others that they were playing against Mu Sheng and Cat Live.
A smile emerged on Ruan Yingying’s face.
Of all the places Mu Sheng could go, she had to choose the worst place possible to show her face.
She smiled with her mouse in hand. “I haven’t seen Sheng in ages. Why don’t we land in the same place as them in a minute?”
The game officially commenced.
From the moment Mu Sheng landed, question marks kept flooding her channel nonstop that it was impossible to even see her face without closing all the comments.
Mu Sheng was simply too professional.
The way she jumped off the parachute, maneuvered herself, and the way she could tell where her enemies seemed awfully familiar to the audience.
The host was also blown away by her performance. For a moment, he lost his usual sense of caution and automatically followed Mu Sheng and headed East. Mu Sheng suddenly said, “Someone is here. Lie down.”
The host instinctively lay down quickly and saw Mu Sheng holding a gun with a lot of recoil power and pointing it in the southwest direction.
After gunfire rang in the air, a notification appeared on the screen: [Your teammate has hit XXX.]
The host went speechless. Since he was a professional gamer, he naturally knew how good Mu Sheng’s shooting was. The gun had so much recoil that even he did not have the same kind of confidence as her to strike the targets with just one blow. “Miss Mu, I thought you didn’t watch any live telecasts? Why are you so good?”
Mu Sheng loaded her bullets as she replied calmly, “I don’t watch live telecasts, but I am a live telecaster.”
The moment she finished her sentence, everyone was dumbfounded!
Comments flooded the screen so quickly that it was almost impossible to read them clearly.
[What do you live telecast? Tell us now!]
[Oh god. I had a bold conjecture. Now, I am 60% sure I am right. Is this world crazy or something? Or am I the one who is nuts to feel this way?]
[OMIGOD! Is Mu Sheng God Mu? She was so cool when she fired. Only God Mu is capable of looking so cool!]
