My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 423: Chapter 277: A Celestial Melody Splits the Nine Heavens, a Thousand Mechanical Stars Become Drifting Feathers

Someone was just about to ask, ”What kind of garbage poem is that? Where are these ’cute pets treading on flames’?”

But then, the cute pets treading on flames arrived.

Li Xiang directed the cute little pets as they performed all sorts of amazing stunts.

It was still in the Apocalypse style. Jiang Cai’Er simulated a mini ”zombie siege” special effect, but she beautified the details to avoid scaring any children to tears, like what happened with Yao Yao before.

Furthermore, some of the older folks were a bit superstitious and couldn’t stand seeing such things. By toning it down, it was more visually acceptable for everyone.

For example, to fit the festive mood, Jiang Cai’Er had the zombies wear rather celebratory outfits. It was the New Year, after all, so the zombies were dressed festively, even wearing signs on their heads that read ”Wishing You Prosperity,” ”Good Fortune,” and ”A Happy Family.” It was a fitting touch for the occasion.

Er Huang and the Little Fox, meanwhile, were decked out in custom-made Obsidian Cool Mecha (Crystal Vein Armor) that Li Xiang had designed for them, engraved with the words ”Prosperity” and ”Wealth” respectively. They leaped through rings of fire ignited by Lei Xiaohui, carrying ”Crystal Cores” (which were ordinary glowing toy balls) in their mouths to rescue trapped rag dolls.

The moment the two little guys appeared, their comical outfits sent the crowd roaring with laughter. But afterward, their heroic performance earned them round after round of applause.

At the same time, the live stream chat activated a ”Feed Crystal Cores” gifting animation.

The kittens came out next, walking a tightrope more than five meters in the air. A projection of lava churned below the wire, looking exceptionally dangerous. One slip, and they would be melted without a trace.

Even though everyone knew it was fake, it was so realistic that they couldn’t help but worry for the adorable kitty squad.

Then, Xiaobai, who was bringing up the rear, added a dramatic twist. The calico and tabby cats had already crossed nimbly, but Xiaobai ”accidentally” slipped and fell from the high wire!

The audience gasped!

And then, a magical scene unfolded. Xiaobai’s body twisted in the air like a pretzel. With an incredible mid-air flip, it leaped back onto the thin wire and landed steadily!

Holy crap! The audience went wild. The live stream chat exploded.

People spammed the comments: ”Divine Cat! Divine Cat!”

It’s said that no matter how you drop a cat, it will always twist its body in mid-air to land on all fours—but that’s a normal cat. Xiaobai, as an Extraordinary divine cat, could actually fall, twist its body mid-air, and launch itself upward instead of continuing down. It was undeniably magical and defied all scientific principles.

After that, the little hedgehog, the two little geese, and the big rooster all took the stage, each with their own special talent.

The little hedgehog, for instance, performed ”The Crystal Fruit Transporter.”

The little hedgehog curled into a ball, the gaps between its spines filled with glowing Crystal Stones simulating ”fruit,” and rolled at high speed down a slope on the stage. Li Xiang secretly used his Earth Superpower, causing a dynamic Crystal Stone track to crack open on the ground. Every spot the hedgehog rolled over triggered an AR projection—

When it rolled over a track with watermelon patterns, virtual watermelon juice sprayed out from between its spines;

When it touched a pineapple projection area, golden crystal powder burst around its body, simulating splashing fruit pulp.

Of course, this was all fake, simulated by Jiang Cai’Er using her Mirage Realm.

Simultaneously, the live stream started a ”fruit emoji rain,” where fans could send fruit emojis to trigger corresponding special effects.

When the little hedgehog accidentally rolled off course, Jiang Cai’Er would control a swarm of drones to project a Crystal Fruit Maze to guide it back on track.

Li Xiang’s cousin, Shen Wenqian, provided ”play-by-play commentary” from the side. Her witty and amusing live narration had everyone roaring with laughter.

This ”educational” combination of ”game performance and commentary” was truly ingenious and proved to be especially popular with the children.
