Live Streaming Food Stall… But in Dog-Blooded Novels – CH123

Chapter 123

Multiverse Dimension.

Facing the crimson text on their screens, many young people voiced the same question:

“Huh? Participate in a transmigration challenge to save the world?”

—”As if I could just save the world like that??!!!”

“…”

High-risk dimension erosion.

For many young residents of the Multiverse dimension, this was an utterly unfamiliar term.

In the early days of the Multiverse dimension’s creation, as the convergence point linking countless sub-dimensions, it had gone through a period of extreme instability.

—The Multiverse dimension was directly connected to innumerable sub-dimensions.

This meant opportunity—but also danger.

Initially, even the slightest disturbance in a sub-dimension could affect the Multiverse dimension. For example, plagues from ancient dimensions could spread here; nuclear wars from interstellar dimensions could pollute the environment.

But among all dimensions, the most dangerous were undoubtedly apocalypse dimensions.

Every apocalypse dimension was filled with bizarre, countless deadly threats—viruses, resource depletion, magnetic field disruptions, zombies, contaminants…

Every time erosion from an apocalypse dimension occurred, the Multiverse dimension would also suffer under its crises, leading to prolonged turmoil and countless casualties.

The official Multiverse livestream had already set up a dedicated discussion group for this emergency “high-risk dimension erosion alert.”

Experienced residents began sharing explanations:

[Later, as the Multiverse dimension established a robust security system, sub-dimension erosion incidents gradually decreased.]

[…The last apocalypse dimension erosion was two hundred years ago. It’s normal for younger generations not to remember (lights cigarette).]

[Now, the advanced security system can detect dimension erosion before it happens—at this point, if powerful challengers enter the eroding dimension and repair its storyline, they can prevent the erosion at its root and save the Multiverse dimension.]

[Have you all forgotten? I must really be old (sighs). The transmigration challenges weren’t originally created for entertainment… Selected challengers were sent to sub-dimensions to modify bad endings or fix bugs, all to stabilize those dimensions, reduce erosion, and protect the Multiverse dimension.]

[?????!! So that’s how it was =?=]

[Damn, I always thought transmigration challenges were like reality shows—just for fun. My bad.]

[Most dogblood novels are just for fun, but apocalypse dimensions are different.]

[Apocalypse dimensions are a world for the strong!]

“Wait, if it’s a world for the strong, then why is this option popping up in front of me???”

In a residential building, Xiao Wang—who was hugging a bag of potato chips—pointed at his nose in disbelief.

Like many young people spending their weekends binge-watching livestreams at home, Xiao Wang was currently wearing fuzzy pajamas, cuddling his drowsy orange cat, and sprawled out on the sofa in a starfish position. Originally, he had been engrossed in the agent’s livestream of Boss Jian’s appearance in the Multiverse… until that crimson alert suddenly popped up.

Flustered, Xiao Wang clicked into the real-time discussion group for the alert on the Multiverse livestream platform, wanting to see what others had to say.

As a sophomore on break from Multiverse Education Institute, Xiao Wang, like many of his peers, had very average physical fitness—

He’d be panting like a dog just from going downstairs to pick up takeout. Running 800 meters would be the death of him. If he could sit, he’d never stand; if he could lie down, he’d never sit.

Someone like him, if chosen for some survival horror game, would probably be the first to die from sheer exhaustion.

Xiao Wang stared blankly at the option on the screen: “Fight zombies… seriously?! Should I go for it?!”

Below the crimson screen, two smaller lines of text read:

[Currently recruiting volunteers from across the Multiverse dimension to participate in the challenge. No matter where you are, as long as you click “Agree,” you will be instantly transported to the apocalypse dimension Abnormal Era~ Opportunity knocks but once~]

[Countdown: 100s, 99s, 98s…]

At first, Xiao Wang thought he was one of the lucky few chosen.

But after checking the discussion group, he realized—it wasn’t just him. Everyone in the Multiverse dimension was seeing this option right now!

Inside the Multiverse Live Streaming Company…

Including the general manager and top executives, everyone was baffled by the situation. Reporters whispered among themselves:

“During previous dimension erosions, didn’t the Multiverse security system automatically select qualified challengers and ask if they were willing to participate in saving the world?”

“Yeah, why is it publicly recruiting this time? Casting a wide net?”

“Either the system couldn’t find enough qualified challengers, or…”

“…this situation is extremely dangerous?!”

“…”

“Damn, if even we know it’s dangerous, who’d actually go? Only a fool would volunteer!”

Someone in the crowd blurted this out.

The bustling room fell silent.

…Way to state the obvious!

But it was what most people were thinking.

This wasn’t just any dimension—it was an apocalypse.

For ordinary people living in peaceful times, going to an apocalypse dimension would likely mean a one-way trip. Even the most basic apocalypse settings—zombies, famine, resource crises—were terrifying enough.

And it wasn’t just external threats. As depicted in apocalypse movies and novels, human factions would scheme against each other, with superpowered individuals constantly fighting. Cannon fodder like them, without any special skills, probably wouldn’t survive past the first few scenes.

Seriously, who would actually go?

“Whoever issued this recruitment notice must be out of their mind.”

“I doubt they’ll get a single challenger…”

“Unless it’s someone desperate to escape the chaos of the Multiverse dimension and do what they love in a smaller world. Otherwise, I can’t imagine why any sane person would join this challenge—wait, what???”

A reporter repeated jokingly:

“Pfft, where would you even find such a weirdo who’d choose to… go to an apocalypse… for that…”

Mid-sentence, their voice gradually trailed off.

The entire room fell into dead silence.

Thud. Gong Siyuan’s communicator dropped to the floor.

“…Oh no,” she muttered blankly.

And it wasn’t just inside the company.

Outside, among the sea of fans, in the emergency medical room where Ning Sheng was receiving an IV drip, and among the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the Multiverse livestream—

Everyone’s jaws slowly dropped.

A name surfaced in their minds.

‘Someone desperate to escape the chaos of the Multiverse dimension and do what they love in a smaller world’…

Wasn’t there literally one right in front of them??!!!

“No way? It can’t be?! Please, nooooo?!”

Just moments ago, overwhelmed by the frenzied media storm, Boss Jian had retreated into the elevator, and the doors had closed. Now, outside the elevator on the fifteenth floor of the Multiverse Company, reporters frantically mashed the door-open button, clinging to a sliver of hope—

Millions of agents, reporters, advertisers, and fans turned their gazes toward the elevator doors.

“……”

Behind the doors, the elevator was empty.

Only… a lone spatula lay abandoned on the floor.

At the same time, the crimson screens before everyone’s eyes flickered, and a new line of text appeared:

[A new challenger has logged into Abnormal Era! Let us offer our most devout prayers for the challenger’s future—]

[Click [Livestream Link] to watch the real-time broadcast of Abnormal Era.]

[Current Challenger: [Jian Yunlan]]

The air froze completely.

*

Rewind time by five minutes.

The moment the piercing alarm sounded, diverting everyone’s attention, Jian Yunlan snapped back to reality.

This was the perfect opportunity!

Quick as lightning, he grabbed Taotie and took two rapid steps back into the elevator, then began hammering the door-close button.

As the doors slid shut, Jian Yunlan exhaled in relief.

He wasn’t socially anxious—in fact, thanks to his profession, he was far more outgoing than most. But that didn’t mean he enjoyed being bombarded by cameras and microphones.

Let alone the soul-crushing work that would inevitably follow…

No, no, NO.

“Human, fear not. This lord shall protect you,” the silver-haired boy declared haughtily. “With me here, no one dares harm you!”

Jian Yunlan: “…Thanks.”

Now that he thought about it, Taotie had been shielding him from the cameras this whole time.

…Kinda heartwarming.

It was then that the crimson screen appeared before Jian Yunlan’s eyes, just like everyone else’s.

[Do you wish to participate in this transmigration challenge and save the world? Agree / Decline]

The screen pulsed.

The deep red hue seemed to foreshadow hidden dangers, stirring unease. Most would instinctively avoid that glaring text.

But…

Jian Yunlan’s eyes lit up.

“I can go to a new dimension right now?” Excitement surged through him. “Apocalypses usually mean famine… and famine means lots of hungry customers… Is this my lucky day?!”

“But—”

His expression dimmed as a thought struck him.

He wasn’t a lone wolf anymore, free to do as he pleased.

He had three employees to look after now.

He couldn’t selfishly drag them into danger just for his own desires! What kind of heartless boss would that make him?!

After hearing his concerns—

The ancient beast Taotie crossed his arms and scoffed. “A mere apocalypse is nothing before this lord. I could use the exercise. But those other two weaklings might not keep up.”

The 9,000-year-old nine-tailed fox, Hu Danggui, yawned lazily from his lotus lantern. “Worry not, Master. To this humble one, zombies are as easy to eat as roasted chicken—one bite each.”

Former underworld envoy Ox-Head scratched his head sheepishly. “This old ox ain’t familiar with fancy apocalypses… But lotsa dead folks, right? More dead, more job performance. Hehe!”

Jian Yunlan facepalmed. “Not a single normal person in this entire team. This is—”

“Perfect!”

His eyes sparkled with determination.

With everyone’s support, he didn’t hesitate another second.

He clicked “Agree.”

“……”

The next instant, a weightless sensation engulfed him, and his vision plunged into darkness.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his ears:

[Loading dimension Abnormal Era (Apocalypse/Non-human/Yandere)…]

[Load successful!]
