"Are they fighting again?"
"Excavation Princess's live stream, just go watch it yourself and you'll know."
Many players rushed to check, and when they arrived at Excavation Princess's live stream, they were all stunned.
Holy moly, it can be like this?
This strange atmosphere, this strange live stream content, someone who didn't know would think they were watching an anime!
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes are going to be blinded."
"Kill Excavation Princess, snatch Lily!"
"Why isn't the person standing next to Lily me?!"
"Damn it, you're showing off to my face. So this is the experience you get when your favorability with an NPC is high? Can someone tell me how much Lily's favorability with Excavation Princess is? I need a reference."
"Holy crap, this game can be played like this?!"
"I feel like if you max out an NPC's favorability, you might actually be able to get married!"
After these players finished their frenzied comments in the live stream, they returned to the community to continue their frenzy. Under their influence, even players who were originally uninterested in these topics put down what they were doing and flocked to Excavation Princess's live stream.
Fortunately, Beyond the Stars' servers were ridiculously stable, otherwise the live stream might have been overloaded.
That night, Lily's popularity experienced a new surge in a different way. This surge was somewhat different from previous ones.
In previous surges, her name only circulated within the game, but this time, because many casual players who originally didn't follow her or even play in the community poured in, and these casual players then spread Excavation Princess's live stream content to social media outside the game, she suddenly became a small promotional symbol for Beyond the Stars.
"Shocking! A certain streamer is playing a dating simulator in Beyond the Stars!"
"Are you still looking for a caring virtual friend? Beyond the Stars, you deserve it!"
"Look, this woman is Xiaomei, and the woman next to her is…"
Articles with absurd titles popped up one after another, and in a short time, they attracted many new players to Beyond the Stars.
Even Lily, as the behind-the-scenes planner, hadn't expected her plan to have such a huge effect.
Her mood suddenly became a little excited. If she could become the signboard girl of Beyond the Stars, then the planner would surely give her a comprehensive buff to prevent her from dying.
Good, good, new hope has appeared!
22:06: Lily led Excavation Princess and Anya down from the radio tower.
Seeing that it was late, she found a nearby room for Excavation Princess to stay in temporarily.
"I've paid for five days of room rent for you, so you don't have to worry about a place to stay for now. If you have anything urgent, you can come find me. I live at…"
Lily gave Shino's address.
"Take these."
Lily then pulled out 500 credit coins and stuffed them all into Excavation Princess's hand.
Excavation Princess was stunned, and the players in the live stream were also stunned.
Lily treating Excavation Princess to dinner, showing her around Lynn, and even paying for her room rent already exceeded their expectations. They hadn't expected Lily to give Excavation Princess another 500 yuan when they parted ways.
What kind of spirit was this?
"Wow, Boss, you never gave me this much pocket money!" Anya jumped out.
Lily immediately suppressed her: "Don't talk nonsense."
Anya cooperatively shrank her neck back.
"I…"
Seeing this, Excavation Princess wanted to say something, but Lily interrupted her.
"Keep it. I got a bonus from the Gene Primordial Intelligence Four Directions Office. Without you guys, I wouldn't have gotten this bonus. Oh, and I also found a few knowledge books in the Wildfire Gang's library. I remember you guys really need that kind of thing. Anyway, they're useless to me, so I'll bring them to you next time we meet."
This time, even if no one had interrupted, Excavation Princess wouldn't have been able to speak.
"Giving money and professional knowledge books, can you find a better NPC than Lily in this game?"
"What are you still standing there for? Quickly join the Lotus Sect and praise Lily with me!"
"Damn, damn, damn, now I have no choice but to fiercely grind Lily's favorability. Even if she doesn't have hidden quests, it's definitely not a loss to grind it."
Looking at the screen full of envy, Excavation Princess almost wanted to wipe away tears. This was the first time she had been moved not by the tear-jerking level of the game's plot.
"Lily, you're really too good to me. In the world I used to live in, even my parents haven't cared about me this much in a long time."
Hmm?
Lily was momentarily stunned.
Excavation Princess gave a bitter smile but still didn't elaborate on what she had just said. After all, in front of so many live stream viewers, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to talk about her parents divorcing when she was young, and hitting roadblocks everywhere, whether in school or at work. That would sound a bit like playing the victim.
There was no need for that. Even without playing the victim, she could live very well now.
She was just a little emotional that the care she felt after a long time came from a game NPC.
"Lily, can you tell me about yourself? I'm still very weak right now, so I might not be able to help you fulfill your wishes, but I'll do my best. Even a small help would be good!"
Excavation Princess mustered her courage to say these words.
After speaking, she held her breath, and the players in the live stream also fell silent.
This time, would Lily reveal her true identity and give a hidden quest?
Lily stared intently at Excavation Princess.
According to her original plan, she should have shared the story she had just made up with Excavation Princess a little later, but Excavation Princess had already spoken first, and the atmosphere in the live stream was also buzzing, so why not now?
"Can I come in and sit down?"
Excavation Princess's eyes lit up. It worked, hahaha, it worked!
She quickly invited Lily and Anya in.
After offering Lily and Anya some cool boiled water, she nervously sat on the guest room sofa, and with tens of thousands of players, eagerly awaited Lily to voluntarily lift the thin veil covering her face.
