My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

In the live stream chat, many fans had already logged on early, waiting with bated breath. As time passed, the viewer count steadily climbed.

He Zhixiang came online and started showering gifts.

Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou logged on, offered their congratulations, and also showered the stream with gifts.

The moment Luo Feifei logged on, she dropped ten Carnivals, instantly rocketing to the top of the leaderboard. Every appearance by ”Little Aunt” was a grand affair.

The other fans enthusiastically smashed the like button.

The gala hadn’t even officially begun, yet the concurrent viewership had already surpassed twenty thousand, launching the stream into the top three on the hourly popularity charts.

When the gala officially kicked off, the two hosts, Li Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er, made their grand entrance in formal wear. The platform boosted their stream with extra traffic, and the viewer count instantly shot past fifty thousand. Less than a minute later, it broke one hundred thousand.

Li Xiang, clad in a sharp suit, stood ramrod straight. ”Respected elders,”

Jiang Cai’Er, in a sparkling evening gown with her hair in an elegant updo that accentuated her long, graceful neck, added, ”Beloved folks,”

In unison: ”Good evening, everyone!”

Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. The live stream was just as fervent, with comments and gifts flooding the screen.

Li Xiang’s voice was deep and magnetic. ”As the bells bidding farewell to the old year echo across the land, and as festive fireworks blossom against the starry sky, a brand new spring makes its way toward us.”

Jiang Cai’Er’s voice, as crisp and pleasant as pearls dropping onto a jade plate, was filled with heartfelt emotion. ”She soars in on colorful, heavenly wings; she follows the footsteps of Kuafu in his chase of the sun, arriving with gentle grace.”

In unison: ”At this very moment, rosy dawns dance with colorful wings, and the beat of the drum resonates with the rhythm of our steps...”

While the two delivered their impassioned opening on stage, the audience below couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

”To think Li Family Village could produce two such beautiful children. They look just like the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden,” an elder from another village praised.

”He’s so handsome! Is that Li Xiang? The famous influencer from our county? I wouldn’t even mind if he forced himself on me!” a young girl whispered to her friend, giggling as she said it.

Her friend replied, ”In your dreams! Why wouldn’t he pick me instead?”

”If he tries anything with you, I’ll come ’rescue’ you!”

”Piss off! Don’t you dare ruin my big chance. Mind your own business, you hear?”

...

”Damn, is Brother Xiang wearing makeup, or is his skin just naturally that good? It’s so fair and rosy, he’s practically glowing! And his eyes are so, so bright!”

”That’s called having a fire in your eyes!”

”The girl is gorgeous, too. I hear she’s a high school junior, ranked first in the entire school on her recent finals. She’s got a great shot at getting into Qingbei.”

”Amazing! Li Family Village really produces some incredible talent!”

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was buzzing with its own discussions.

Luo Feifei stared at Jiang Cai’Er for a long moment, a feeling of indignation welling up inside her. ’I should be the one up on that stage hosting with Li Xiang right now,’ she thought. ’Hmph. If I were actually there, I could’ve easily made this the number one stream on the entire internet tonight!’

As a trending young actress with over a hundred million fans and the title of ”Little Celestial Immortal,” she had every right to be that confident.

But, alas... She sighed softly, a little wistfully. ’Isn’t this because of my ’Fat Auntie’ disguise? My main account, the celebrity Luo Feifei, hasn’t ’met’ Li Xiang yet.’

’Yes, next year,’ she vowed. ’I will definitely be there for next year’s gala.’

Right now, Luo Feifei was actually in the Imperial Capital. She had been invited to perform a traditional-style song at this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala and had already gone through several rehearsals.

Due to her young age, her mother, who also served as her manager, was with her to look after her.
