Chapter 112: Did You Know You’re Trending for Sleeping on the Street?
"Cough, cough... Where am I? Did I respawn at the resurrection point...?"
As the coma state wore off, Maomao scrambled up from the ground.
"Huh? I’m still in the same spot?"
Before Maomao could wrap her head around the situation, a youthful voice drifted over.
"Oh? Sister Potato, she’s awake!"
Hearing this, Maomao instinctively looked up. Suddenly, a flash of golden light erupted before her eyes.
"Ah! Wait... my eyes! My eyes!"
After blinking several times, Maomao finally managed to see the people standing in front of her.
[Elania Lv.45]
[Potato Is Not Taro Lv.1]
[Cecilia Lv.92]
"Wait... who and who?"
While Maomao was still dazed, Yu Yunsheng walked up to her.
"It’s good that you’re awake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do with you. I couldn't exactly go out and find you a blanket..."
As she spoke, Yu Yunsheng pointed to Elania beside her.
"By the way, she’s the one who used a Purification Spell to save you."
Maomao felt a bit overwhelmed by Yu Yunsheng’s explanation.
"Uh... is that so? Then, thank you."
Seeing that Maomao was fine, Yu Yunsheng pulled out a blue dragon puppet.
"Also, is this yours?"
"Mine?"
"Hmm? Is it not?"
Maomao scratched her head, confused by Yu Yunsheng’s question.
"Now that you mention it, I think I was knocked out by this thing."
"Huh? You were knocked out by a plushie?"
"Uh... I guess so."
As she spoke, Maomao glanced at the floating screen of her livestream channel.
[Livestream Viewers: 22.04 Million]
"?"
Where did over twenty million people come from?
Realizing something was very wrong, Maomao quickly looked at the chat.
【Maomao, did you know you’re trending for sleeping on the street?】
【While you were unconscious, you literally ran into two Children of Fate at once! A first for the entire internet!】
【Maomao, you’ve really hit the big time now!】
【The clip of you sleeping on the street already has over a million views!】
【I think that Sister Potato is the real boss. Only Level 1, yet she’s traveling with two Children of Fate.】
【By the way, why did that puppet stop moving? Did it run out of batteries?】
【How do you even charge an alchemy doll?】
【I have no idea. I play an Alchemist and I’ve never seen an alchemy doll this exquisite.】
"Wait, what are you guys even talking about? And what do you mean the clip of me lying on the street has a million views?"
Before Maomao could process the situation, Yu Yunsheng spoke up again.
"Um... are you that game streamer from the internet, Cat Fur Hat Maomao?"
"Huh? Are you a fan?"
"No."
"Cough... what a heartbreaking answer."
Maomao adjusted her cat-ear hat and took the blue dragon puppet from Yu Yunsheng’s hand.
Although she didn't know where the puppet came from, her intuition told her it was something special. If she kept it safe, it might be very useful in the future.
"By the way, Miss Potato, are you interested in collaborating with me? Don't worry, we’ll split the profits fifty-fifty. If you agree, I can transfer two million to your account right now."
Hearing this, Yu Yunsheng blinked.
"How... how much?"
"Two million."
Snap!
Yu Yunsheng immediately grabbed Maomao’s hand.
"Are you serious?"
Looking at the stars practically overflowing from Yu Yunsheng’s eyes, Maomao felt her own eyes stinging again.
"I... I’m serious..."
After getting Maomao’s confirmation, Yu Yunsheng flipped open her friend list and sent a message to Taro Ball.
[Potato Is Not Taro: Bro! We’re rich!]
A reply came back within seconds.
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: Huh? What happened?]
[Potato Is Not Taro: Let me tell you, I met a huge sugar mommy! She offered me two million the moment she opened her mouth!]
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: Huh? A sugar mommy? Who? Where did you meet her?]
[Potato Is Not Taro: I think she’s a game streamer called Cat Fur Hat Maomao. I met her here in Northgard in the Northern Territory.]
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: Wait, her?]
[Potato Is Not Taro: Yeah, why?]
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: Well... let’s put it this way. She’s a top-tier streamer with tens of millions of followers. Her livestream is probably still running right now, and the Elania next to you basically made her channel explode.]
[Potato Is Not Taro: Ah? Really? Will that be a problem?]
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: Don’t worry about it. From what I know, she’s a pretty good person. And don’t underestimate that livestream interface; it automatically cuts away if anything inappropriate for broadcast happens.]
[Potato Is Not Taro: Oh? It can do that?]
[Taro Ball Is Not Round: By the way, I’m also in Northgard, but I’m tied up right now. Go ahead and play for a bit; I’ll come find you later.]
After reading the last message, Yu Yunsheng turned back to Maomao.
"Cough... um, how about we add each other as friends first?"
"Sure, I’ll add you."
After a few taps, another player appeared on Yu Yunsheng’s friend list.
[Cat Fur Hat Maomao Lv.21]
Once that was settled, Yu Yunsheng turned to Elania.
"Um, do you mind if one more person joins us?"
Elania gave Maomao a few skeptical looks.
"Her? Hmm... I suppose it’s fine, but you aren't allowed to touch her hand... or anywhere else."
Hearing this, Yu Yunsheng suddenly remembered how she had just grabbed Maomao’s hand.
"That... I’m sorry, I didn't notice just now..."
"Hmph... as long as you know. Since you apologized, I’ll forgive you."
Watching this scene, Maomao was confused.
"What... kind of relationship is this?"
Before she could figure it out, Cecilia leaned in.
"If Miss Potato is willing, I don't mind bringing another person along. However, I can't guarantee she won't be turned away at the door later."
As she spoke, Cecilia glanced at Maomao.
"By the way, Miss Maomao, would you mind letting me take a look at that puppet in your hand?"
"Huh? This? No problem, take it if you want to see it!"
Maomao handed the blue dragon puppet over to Cecilia.
Looking at the blue dragon puppet in her hand, Cecilia’s brow furrowed.
Is it my imagination... why did it feel like this puppet was just looking at me...
After squeezing and poking it a few times and confirming there was nothing unusual, Cecilia placed the blue dragon puppet back into Maomao’s hands.
It’s just an ordinary puppet. Was I being paranoid?
*
Inside the Imperial Palace of the North.
At this moment, Aisarakus had already snapped her consciousness back to her main body.
"Phew... that was close. I almost got caught by that woman. But she was really too much, squeezing and poking my body like that..."
Thinking of this, Aisarakus wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The moment Elania and the others arrived, Aisarakus had immediately disguised herself as an ordinary puppet. If she had been discovered, her identity would likely have been exposed.
If word of this reached Brandon’s ears, she would be in deep trouble.
Sneaking out of the palace and knocking out a passerby—there was no way Brandon would let her off the hook for that.
In the end, if Cecilia hadn't started manhandling the puppet, she wouldn't have returned so quickly.
"Sigh, after all that, I only got to sneak out for a little bit. I didn't even get to play..."
With that thought, Aisarakus looked down from her throne.
"Wait, why is there no one here?"
