"Hahaha, friends, what are we doing today? That's right, how about we open a mystery box?" Xiaoying greeted her livestream audience with bursting enthusiasm.
With her explosively shapely figure, pointy ears, and a shy blush on her face, her voice made people tingle.
"Today we're opening a mystery box from our idol, Dog. Guess what's inside? Ah~ Come and see, it's a piece of pizza leftover by Dog~! It even has Dog's saliva on it."
"Shall we open another one? Ah! We've hit the jackpot, it's Dog's brain!"
Xiaoying held the brain, starting a solo show that went on for a while.
Half an hour later, she hugged a giant banana pillow, clamped it between her long, white legs, and said to the livestream audience, "Okay, next up is our 'Try Not to Laugh' video challenge~!"
But just then, a red message suddenly popped up in the livestream room. "Warning: Livestream has been shutdown, countdown to next opening time: 11:59:57"
"Strange? Why has my livestream been shut down?"
Xiaoying hastily checked her exposed lower body and large breasts, confused and thought, "I didn't violate any platform regulations, and the genital area is covered too, why was I suddenly shut down?"
Not understanding, she immediately entered the livestream guild channel and asked other broadcasters.
Soon, a broadcaster impersonating Sun 6pus answered her, after which she learned that the new regulation by the Metropolis Labor Bureau restricted all employees' work to no more than 12 hours. Even if the staff had undergone hypothalamus surgery to eliminate the need for sleep, they still had to adhere strictly to this rule, and any violator would face a hefty fine.
For the past few years, she had been livestreaming continuously for 24 hours a day, not by company order, but because of internal competition. Dare to stream for 14 hours a day, and I'd stream for 16 hours.
Eventually, under such internal competition, it became a basic rule that a broadcaster must be online 24 hours. To enter the field, one must comply with this rule, and after entering, it was a competition of antics and appearance. Everyone was tired, but no one dared to stop, since stopping meant being ruthlessly left behind by others.
However, now, the new government of Metropolis enforced a mandatory halt to everyone, stopping the internal competition and simultaneously creating more job opportunities.
After checking various sources online and confirming repeatedly, once this rule was strictly enforced by all broadcasters, and no one secretly took the lead, Xiaoying finally breathed a sigh of relief; her audience wouldn't be taken by other broadcasters.
But on second thought, she definitely felt something was off. "What's Sun Jack up to, really, cutting livestream time? In that case, wouldn't I lose half my income?"
Regarding this part where the new rulers of Metropolis reduced her benefits, she couldn't help but start complaining,
But as much as she complained, as a small-time broadcaster, there wasn't much she could do.
Xiaoying used the system to raise the curtains, the naked her crawled to the window, comfortably watching the bizarre neon signs in the rain outside.
For a moment, she was stunned, sitting idly on her bed full of stuffed toys, unsure what to do next. Over the past few years, she had never had time to herself, not even a moment.
Suddenly she remembered a friend, a friend she hadn't seen for a long time. She really hadn't seen her for a while and truly missed her a bit.
Xiaoying walked to her makeup removal room, letting the mechanical arm remove the prosthetic breast that was bigger than her head, then adjusted the spine around her waist to return her excessively bent body to normal.
As she adjusted her hair and turned off the color attachment, her extremely deep purple curly hair quickly elongated and turned normal white.
Finally, she removed the delicate, pale, fully saturated and contrasted prosthetic reproductive organ glittering with sparkles.
She carefully cradled her B and approached the incubator, connecting various nerves and blood vessels.
She had to be careful because this thing was more expensive than she was. It wasn't uncommon in the livestreaming industry for a reproductive organ to be pricier than a host. She had taken out a loan to buy it, relying on it entirely to attract an audience and stir things up.
After cautiously locking her reproductive organ in the safe to prevent theft, she casually threw on a transparent raincoat over her naked body and headed outside.
On the street, people were coming and going, and not a single person gave a second look at Xiaoying's attire, after all, a person without a reproductive organ isn't much of a sight.
A woman wearing a gear logo muttered as she brushed past Xiaoying, "Oh yeah, jbjbjbjbboom!...No, no, that doesn't rhyme, damn, I'm out of inspiration. Fuck, where did Sun Jack run off to? Didn't he say he'd hang with me? How did he just vanish into thin air?"
She boarded the subway, silently standing next to a pole. The subway was very quiet, everyone immersed in the online world, paying no attention to her nor looking her way.
This feeling was really nice; she suddenly realized there might be something more to the world than just live streaming.
When an image of Sun Jack appeared on the subway's screen, she disgustingly turned her head away. She hated listening to this big shot prattle on; such visuals annoyed her, she just cared about living her small, simple life.
Ignoring Sun Jack announcing new policies on the screen, she started browsing a shopping website, leaving her body under the control of the system AI which navigated her according to the route.
She didn't realize how much time had passed until the system alerted her, and she found herself standing at the entrance of Club 69. Just as she walked in, a sunny-faced young man with freckles came over with a bright smile, "Miss, care to have some fun?"
Seeing that he was her type, Xiaoying felt a bit tempted but regretfully said, "I forgot to bring my reproductive organ, maybe next time."
"Sister, no worries, Club 69 offers a Life Apparatus rental service, especially for those who didn't bring their reproductive organs or are unsatisfied with theirs. They even have high-end ones where you can adjust the sensitivity. What size are you down there?"
"I'm here to look for someone. Is Linda Linda here? I'm her friend."
"Linda Linda? I don't know." The youth shook his head.
"How do you not know? She's the Oiran here!"
Just as Xiaoying was puzzled, a woman with a white beard sitting on a nearby couch raised her head from a man's lap and said, "Linda Linda? Her status isn't ordinary anymore, why would she still be working at Club 69? With her current status, she probably wouldn't bother coming here even to solicit."
