Chapter 17 It started, it started!

August 11, 11:55 PM.

To prevent any eventualities, Li Xu had locked all the doors and windows in his room.

It was deep into the night, and the small courtyard was enveloped in silence.

The lights in the landlord's and all the tenants' rooms were off, except for the occasional cry of a cat and the chirping of cicadas, no other sounds were heard.

[Live Streaming Related] — [Program Production] — Plot World A001 entry countdown: 4 minutes, 44 seconds.

Li Xu began taking deep breaths, the computer had been moved in front of the bed, and he was ready to lie down, but he wanted to check one last time. He clicked the mouse and reopened the Reality Support and Enhancement page.

All of the 981 windows were illuminated; the timely viewing audience had finally exceeded ten thousand, spiritual power collection had reached 1.8nt per minute. In just a few hours, the depleted resources had rebounded, reaching two-fifths of a White Diamond, 416 points of spiritual energy resources.

Li Xu had seen it before; almost every window was surrounded by a crowd, and those who had seen the live-streamed video, and did not have the live streaming client, were probably anxiously searching online now. For them, Li Xu currently had no solution. The way the live streaming room appeared on the internet and how to filter the viewers were both things he was completely clueless about.

He needed to hurry to upgrade the live streaming room. Last time, only about a thousand people joined in by the end. It was evident how low the efficiency of this form of broadcast and filtering was. To change that, upgrading was the only way.

Don't ask how Li Xu knew this again; it was because this was the main setup, which he had brainstormed, specifically to create a sense of anticipation for the upgrade among the readers. But now, this had become his primary source of resentment.

(Setting Three: The upgrade system of the Spirit Live Streaming Room.

To broadcast globally and to win over all of humanity was certainly not going to happen overnight.

The live streaming room's three initial stages were: Spirit Live Streaming—Ghost Live Streaming—Shadow Live Streaming, which are its three periods of silent growth in the shadows.

Each stage has different methods of broadcast and selection; each upgrade is closely linked to the number of viewers, members, senior members, VIP members, etc. Of course, it also consumes corresponding resources.

After upgrading, the live streaming room will undergo significant changes in functionality, efficiency, and convenience; specific details will be described and reflected in the regulations.)

These infuriating passages had now become the greatest source of uncertainty. The reason was simple: Li Xu had not managed to write the detailed regulations for this setup.

He wasn't the only author; no author would write in such detail, as those elements are typically adjusted and perfected throughout the writing process. It's unreasonable to have tens of thousands of words in settings when even the main text isn't settled.

So, the question arises, how many members, how many resources are needed to upgrade the live streaming room?

How is the current Spirit Live Streaming being broadcast on the internet, and what conditions are needed to filter the viewers?

These were things he didn't know; the only thing he could be sure of were the videos left after each broadcast!

Videos could be transmitted freely. Although they couldn't immediately bring in members, they had influence, which could induce more people to actively search, and they also had a resource collecting function.

So during the live broadcast, try to incorporate something "explosive" that could instantly catch people's eyes, to display undeniable evidence, to dispel all possible doubts with irrefutable facts!

This was the only correct approach to form the greatest influence in the shortest time.

If Li Xu had been confused and went with the flow during his first live broadcast, by re-entering now, he was fully prepared, with clear goals and behavioral guidelines!

Back on topic!

As the last five-minute countdown expired, "Plot World A001 ready: Click to enter" appeared. Li Xu took a deep breath, slowly moved the mouse, and clicked with a "tick".

The familiar black vortex appeared again. The computer screen vanished in the blink of an eye, completely filled by the vortex. A massive force of attraction was generated; simultaneously, a beam of light shot out, striking him between the eyebrows.

Li Xu felt his whole body lighten, as if it was softening, but his consciousness detached from his body, floating, diving headfirst into the black vortex.

The scenes he experienced on his return appeared again!

Beyond the light, only more light; Li Xu moved forward within the beams, speeding up under the enormous pull.

He couldn't sense the passage of time, nor his own physical form.

Accelerating, he kept accelerating until he reached a bottleneck, then he himself transformed into a beam of light, and the things he saw began to distort immensely!

The colorful, randomly changing "tunnel" appeared again; Li Xu traveled through the "tunnel" at a speed nearly approaching that of light—such experience, such scenery, such encounters were indescribable, despite it not being his first time, Li Xu was equally intoxicated and stunned!

By the time he realized, the pitch-black exit was ahead, and he had burst out of the "tunnel," arriving at a mysterious world!

In an endless expanse of darkness, an absence of everything, the massive pull disappeared, and the beam of light (tunnel) that had brought Li Xu vanished instantly, driven away by huge inertia; Li Xu hurtled towards a direction, although his speed was gradually decreasing.

This pitch-black and void world had no matter, no energy, simply nothing, only endless dead silence.

Li Xu continued hurtling towards a specific direction, until a tiny speck of light appeared.

"That's it, Plot World!"

Yes, that alone, and nothing else.

It was like a huge, glowing "blanket" with constantly changing exhaust light resembling its "fluff," its undulating motion resembling its stance, and the "scroll" sketched within was its "pattern"...

This "pattern" had become even larger, the chaos-like mist had receded to the four corners.

It had spread out into a complete city, starting to render large sections of the periphery...

Mountains, canyons, rivers, farmland... and Li Xu, headed towards the center, descending towards the increasingly clear Imperial City.

Closer, closer, as soon as Li Xu touched that "fluff-like" exhaust light, everything before his eyes blurred, and the world transformed.

He entered the "scroll," found himself in the blue sky, with rolling mist behind and towering Imperial City below—everything was still, even the wind.

"Entering Plot World A001, live broadcasting is about to begin!"

In an instant, Li Xu plunged down, towards a corner, a direction of the Imperial City...

Meanwhile, in reality, the interfaces of 981 live streaming rooms lit up!

"It's started, it's begun..."

"My God, this is an execution!"
