What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 276: Livestream



Little Xu resides in the neighboring building, on the eighth floor, where there is no elevator. This is one of the biggest pains of the old residential area and also one of the biggest excuses for staying at home.

Even Chu Ge, who has achieved great progress in his cultivation at this moment, felt intimidated by climbing to the eighth floor.

A group of elderly people were very enthusiastic about installing an elevator, but when it came to paying for it, everyone disappeared. The dispute between the lower floors and the upper floors continues to this day, with no resolution for several years.

In the end, everyone gave up and waited for the day of demolition.

On a workday, no one in Little Xu’s family was at home, and he was having a great time live broadcasting when the doorbell rang.

“Hey, hold on everyone. It might be a delivery; let me get it.”

The people in the livestream watched the host run to the door in a hurry. When the door opened, two familiar faces were revealed.

“What? Who are these handsome guy and beautiful girl? Why do they look familiar?”

“The host’s looks have been overshadowed by these two. I’m unfollowing.”

“Wait a minute, isn’t that Early Autumn Love? My Qiuqiu, it’s my Qiuqiu!”

“Get lost, she’s mine!”

“You can have Qiuqiu; I’m taking Chu Chu.”

“Hi!” Chu Ge’s face appeared on the screen, and he greeted everyone, “Am I handsome?”

The live stream room fell silent for a moment, then quickly started flooding with comments: “Shorty Ge, go away, we want to see Qiuqiu!”

“Short Ge, where’s your face? What about today’s update? You came to the livestream, are you trying to copy someone famous?”

“?? Are you all his readers? What book is this, so amazing?”

Chu Ge: “Damn, I didn’t even know I had so many readers. Let me emphasize, I’m very inexperienced.”

No one paid him any attention: “Big face, move out of the way; I want to see Qiuqiu.”

“Ah, OL Qiuqiu, my heart…”

“I remember now, the host said that Brother Chu is from the same resident as him, but nobody believed it back then.”

Little Xu happily sat back in front of the computer: “I told you Brother Chu is my brother. Do you believe it now?”

“No, since he really is your brother, then your previous praise of ‘Chu Tian Wuji’ was biased, right?”

Someone immediately countered, “That comic is really good!”

“This is called supporting from within the family!” Little Xu had even thicker skin than Chu Ge. “Whether it’s good or not, you’ll know once you see it. Let me be clear, this comic is my brother’s, and my sister-in-law drew it herself. Everyone, take a look; if it’s not good, you can come after me.”

“I get it now, this isn’t about anime and game reviews; it’s a live broadcast for promoting products, right?”

“It’s product promotion, huh? Then give me a batch of Qiuqiu.”

“Then I’ll take a pound of Short Ge’s Short Beef.”

“The viewers upstairs are heavyweight.”

The live stream room was in full swing. People had forgotten about the live broadcast’s original purpose. Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji’s first live appearance had piqued everyone’s interest. They were calling their friends to join in as though there were giant pandas on display.

In less than half an hour, Little Xu stared in astonishment at the number of people on the livestream. “Oh my God, why are there so many new fans here? Who are you guys?”

“We’re here for Brother Chu. You focus on your hosting; it’s none of your business…”

Little Xu: “…”

At the same time, Qiu Wuji also stared blankly at the comic app. “…First place.”

Chu Ge grinned, “As expected of a top-tier streamer!”

The barrage in the live stream room filled the screen: “Qiuqiu scratching her head is so cute…”

“Brother Chu holding his chin looks like my grandpa… No, my son.”

Various types of rewards were flooding in.

Qiu Wuji looked at Chu Ge in disbelief.

These people are showering us with rewards just because we scratch our heads and hold our chins? Don’t rewards cost money?

How can people be so bored? It’s truly a strange era.

“Speaking of which,” Little Xu looked at the donations on the screen, feeling overjoyed, but maintained a serious expression, “When the anime comes out, I will do a professional review. At that time, I won’t have any bias; it’s business as usual.”

Although it sounded nice, no one believed he would actually say anything negative.

No one minded, though. “Is the anime really coming out?”

“Upstairs, there was news today; it’s really coming out.”

“Damn, when is it coming out? I want to watch it.”

“I don’t know; let’s wait for updates…”

“Brother Chu, did you write the script yourself?”

Chu Ge answered, “We’re mostly following the script of the comic, and we’re using the original artwork from the comic. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be online early next year.”

The term “early next year” sounded quite close because it was already late November, so it could be understood as just another month and a half until next year. Of course, it could also be understood as after the New Year, or even the first quarter of the year…

The actual release time, nobody knows, not even Chu Ge himself. However, the way he phrased it made it sound like it would be soon.

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement: “Looking forward to it!”

Chu Ge said, “I’ll get back to writing. Have fun, everyone…”

“I’ll see you off.” Little Xu escorted Chu Ge out and whispered, “Brother Chu, your anime is generating so much hype before it even airs. It’s almost as popular as those well-known big IPs…”

Qiu Wuji asked in amazement, “Isn’t it due to your popularity as a top streamer?”

“Come on, sister-in-law, I don’t have that much traffic. At most, I can contribute a little. But it can also be seen as a testament to your popularity. Whether I brought traffic to you or you brought it to me, it’s hard to say. At least, the recent donations were for Qiuqiu scratching her head and Chuchu stroking his chin, not for me.”

Qiu Wuji: “…”

Chu Ge chuckled, “The little one here is quite knowledgeable now?”

“Brother Chu, why are you talking like my father when you are not much older than me?”

“…”

“Brother Chu, your situation of getting popular before airing is quite rare in the industry. As long as the production doesn’t mess up, it’s almost guaranteed to be a hit. At the very least, it won’t flop.”

Chu Ge sighed, “Nobody knows if the production will mess up or not. My comic studio isn’t directly involved in the animation production; our skills aren’t sufficient, so we have to rely on others.”

“Don’t worry; I rarely see them start promoting as soon as they get the green light. Their attitude seems very serious. They shouldn’t mess it up.”

“I hope so.”

“By the way, Brother Chu, with your online popularity as a couple, don’t you ever consider starting your own live stream? Posting pictures on Weibo alone doesn’t generate enough income.”

Chu Ge smiled, “I just want to focus on writing without getting too distracted by other things. Do you believe me?”

Little Xu found it hard to believe. The two of them have nearly reached the level of some popular celebrities, and he’s saying he just wants to focus on writing… But then again, he had never seen Chu Ge involved in any public events before, and his Weibo account seemed more like a self-indulgent small community rather than a platform for monetization. With hundreds of thousands of genuine followers, he had never seen them promote any advertisements.

Chu Ge gazed absentmindedly at Qiu Wuji, who stood quietly next to him and whispered, “Everything I have is within my writing. That’s my foundation. Everything else is just adding to it.”

Qiu Wuji gave a faint smile.

Little Xu glanced at him and broke Chu Ge’s reverie with one sentence, “You talk like you’re above worldly desires. Did you come back to see your old house because you can’t afford a new one?”

Chu Ge left in embarrassment.

Young people these days are too straightforward!

Honestly, Chu Ge had considered selling the old house to buy a new one before. However, after coming back to visit, he couldn’t bear to part with it.

Every bit of those memories, and possibly more clues about his extraordinary abilities, were still hidden there.

This was a treasure, and its value didn’t lie in the house itself.

“Why worry about it?” At noon, the two of them were eating fish balls in a nearby alley. Qiu Wuji was squinting her eyes with delight as she ate, “If you really want to, renovating the old house sounds good… But is the house really what we should be concerned about now?”

It wasn’t about the house; it was about exploring the world, establishing connections, and the interaction between the real and the virtual.

“I always feel that some topics are too lofty, and there’s a strong disconnect between discussing them and enjoying the sun, doing live broadcasts, and eating fish balls.”

“If you don’t want that disconnect, it’s quite simple.”

“Oh?”

“Go into the book. That’s where the topics of martial world belong, where everything blends seamlessly.” Qiu Wuji blew on a fish ball and casually remarked, “In this sense, perhaps that side is the reality, and this place is the illusion.”
