40 Chapter 40 – First IRL Livestream [3]
'She's just watching.' Max thought as he stole a glance at the girl who suddenly approached him. 'She was the one doing the pull-up earlier. Is she truly interested in wall run? Why?'
After doing a few successful wall run, Max was exhausted and decided to end the livestream after he promised to continue Knight's Journey tonight. Everyone was content with it, and some viewers even donated to him.
And not only that, there were actually two bottles of chilled drinks she bought from the nearby vending machine. Watching him finish with the wall run, she stood from the bench and approached him again, handing him one bottle.
"For you." She said in a calm tone.
Max was slightly confused and wary of the girl, so he didn't take the water bottle immediately. Then she added,
"As thanks. I also want to try wall run, and now I might be able to. So, here... lesson fee."
That sounded like someone he met and knew yesterday. Max couldn't help but smile as he received the water.
"Thank you."
"Un." The girl nodded, "Then, I will leave. See you."
Max watched her turn around and leave just as she said—no other conversation, and she knew how to respect his privacy. She didn't even introduce herself, which was natural as he was streaming earlier.
'That's really out of my expectation.' Max thought as he looked at his hand, which held a cold water. He opened the lid, which was still sealed, and gulped a few times to quench his thirst.
"Fuu..." He sighed; the water worked. It cooled his body down.
"Well, that was some kind of experience. Can't say I am not happy with a beautiful girl talking to me, but yeah... I probably won't even meet her again."
Max walked back to his apartment after putting the camera and the microphone into his pocket. His first IRL livestream was a small success, with around 800 viewers at the peak. It was just 50 minutes long and not really that memorable except when he succeeded on his fifth try.
But tonight's livestream would be different.
'I am not allowed to get hit. This will be a hard one.'
No damage! Knight's Journey's new route walkthrough!
Max had already decided on tonight's livestream title.
And as he walked toward his apartment, he got a message from Flexy.
[Flexy: Hey, my friend! Sorry to get to you this late! But I have transferred the lesson and appearance fees to your bank account. Hahaha, check it and tell me if it's not in yet.] Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Flexy's lips curled up into a smile.
At that moment, the door of his room opened automatically, and his manager, Lisa, entered. He raised his head and looked over the chair.
"Do you get the list, Lisa?" He asked curiously as Lisa stopped beside the chair with a stern look.
Her sharp brown eyes bore through Flexy behind her glasses that shined mysteriously as she pushed them up.
"Biozone Entertainment's marketing team leader has sent me. This is the list of the participants that will be announced in two days."
Lisa operated her smartwatch and opened a document. A hologram screen appeared before her, and she swiped it, moving it so Flexy could read the content.
The documents had a list of Knight's Journey programs. Flexy got the list first because he was one of the veteran streamers. And the names written in documents were like this.
Veteran Streamers: StoneSword, Flexy, RoninKnight
Newbie Streamers: Breeze, LilyPixel, Madlad
"Aha! Hahaha, it's just as I expected."
Reading the list, Flexy laughed out loud. StoneSword and LilyPixel, there was no way Biozone Entertainment wouldn't invite them, as they were the current world record holder for the Fort Siege.
But that wasn't Flexy's concern.
"The marketing team is not a fool. I know that he will be invited." He smiled, swiping his hand to close the document, and looked at Lisa. "Who do you think they will pair me with, Lisa?"
"It's obvious." She answered with a cold tone, looking down at her boss, "It will be Breeze. They definitely watched your stream with him. That was funny, and many people liked it."
"Thought so." He smirked and continued his nap, closing his eyes. "Wake me up later when I need to stream."
"Why are you so useless like a pig?" Lisa clicked her tongue and muttered.
Flexy, who couldn't really make out what she had said, raised his voice, "What?"
"Nothing." She shook her head and smiled softly, "Have a nice nap."
"O-Oh, alright. I thought you called me a pig."
"That's just your imagination." Her smile widened, turning scarier as the second passed. Then she turned around and left, leaving Flexy to look at her with fear.
When the door was closed, he sighed and closed his eyes again.
