Chapter 193
In the Multiverse Live Stream, all transmigrated hosts in their respective story planes can always view bullet comments and claim rewards given by viewers.
The hosts and viewers interact in real-time, which is one of the main selling points of the Multiverse Live Stream.
However… Jian Yunlan’s live stream system was broken.
No one knew why his system was broken, but since the day Jian Yunlan first woke up in the “Paranoid Possession” plane, he had never seen a single bullet comment, nor had he redeemed any rewards sent by viewers. Not to mention interacting with the viewers.
So, even though every time he left a plane and entered the Multiverse, people constantly told him how popular his live stream was, how many fans he had, and how various merchants and agents wanted to collaborate with him, he didn’t really feel it.
Until this moment—
[Ahhhhhhhhhhh]
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Boss Jian’s live system is finally online, does this mean he can see what we’re saying now (trembling)?]
[Simple and easy, blue sky, white clouds, walking together!!! Little Yun clouds, gather!!]
[The person standing before you is the real savior who stopped the apocalypse plane’s invasion (hoarse voice)]
[Wonton, fried rice, roast duck, meat sandwiches, porridge, spicy hot pot, slurp slurp slurp slurp! Braised dishes! Slurp slurp slurp slurp!]
[Little Jian ahhhh, I’ve been following you since the “Dark River, Bright Lantern” plane, I’m such an old fan QAQ, this day has finally come, but it doesn’t feel real at all…]
[“Dark River, Bright Lantern” you say? I’m an old diner from the “Paranoid Possession” plane, Boss Jian, do you remember me? I was the first president of your fan club (facepalm)]
Aside from the bullet comments, more viewers and past diners from various planes were silent, simply sending gifts in droves.
[User [Ning Sheng] gifted Luxury Yacht x100]
[User [Yu Ming] gifted Romantic Fireworks x100]
[User [Mu Dongsheng] gifted Unlimited Supplies x1000]
[User [Ye Qingquan] gifted Fatherly Love Like a Mountain x1000]
[User [Yun Wen] gifted Little Universe x10000]…
These gifts, in any other host’s live stream, would be enough for the host to pop champagne and hold a lottery to thank their wealthy supporters.
But in Jian Yunlan’s live stream, these gifts exploded like they were free, with the special effects for a gift barely starting or even not fully playing before switching to the next one, leaving viewers stunned.
In the top right corner of the live stream, the current number of online viewers was displayed:
[890,876,521 people]
If it weren’t for the fact that the Multiverse planes were in the middle of the night, the number would be even higher.
The reason was simple.
Originally, because of his repeated transmigrations and strategies, along with his irresistible culinary skills and personality charm, Jian Yunlan had already accumulated quite a fan base and was undoubtedly the dark horse among all new hosts in the Multiverse live stream.
But what truly skyrocketed his live stream’s popularity was the apocalyptic plane that had occurred recently.
At that time, there were sixteen strategists who entered the “Era of Anomaly” plane. If all the hosts failed, the apocalypse plane would begin to erode the Multiverse plane. It was estimated that the erosion would cause the deaths of over half of the Multiverse’s residents, and in the worst case, it could lead to the collapse of the entire plane, with civilization falling into ruin.
And in the final moments, aside from Jian Yunlan, all fifteen transmigrators failed, and his live stream became the last hope.
No one thought he could really save the world.
After all, Jian Yunlan was just an ordinary human, a regular cook, and had barely started live streaming less than a year ago. Hosts with decades of experience had failed, so why should he succeed?
At that time, people in the Multiverse live stream were already panicking and fleeing for their lives, some even writing their wills.
Until the news came that Jian Yunlan had cleared the level.
…In that instant, half of the Multiverse’s viewers flooded into Jian Yunlan’s live stream.
Once they entered, they couldn’t leave.
This was why, even though it was so late at night, Jian Yunlan’s live stream still had such a massive and terrifying number of active viewers.

Back to the present.
On the cliff of the Mountain-Sea plane, in front of the Jun Tian Prison.
Looking at the dense, overflowing bullet comments and the mental contamination effects from the enthusiastic comments, as well as the fireworks and gift effects constantly exploding, Jian Yunlan…
Felt a little dizzy.jpg
Though the bullet comments were coming in too fast to distinguish who was who, Jian Yunlan still keenly noticed many familiar names, along with some unfamiliar ones, but clearly, they were viewers who had supported him since the beginning of his live stream. Many viewers seemed to be very familiar with his past live streams.
They had even come up with a fan name, calling themselves “Little Yun Clouds.”
“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand…” After carefully counting the online viewers, Jian Yunlan was deeply shocked.
If all these viewers could visit his snack stall, how happy that would be, Jian Yunlan thought happily.
He said with gratitude, “Thank you all for your support all this time, and from now on, you can all eat for free at my snack stall!”
Bullet comments: “…”
After a brief pause, the bullet comments went wild again!
[Who can withstand this!]
[Top-tier succubus: Boss Jian’s snack stall]
[He invited us to eat for free at his snack stall… He has us in his heart… (happy) (foaming at the mouth) (ascending on the spot)]
[Mountain-Sea plane, huh? Starting now]
[Ning Sheng, calm down! Ahhhhhh!!!]
“…”
Jian Yunlan read the bullet comments for a while but stopped.
After all, there were too many, and if he tried to read them all, he’d probably spend several days and nights and still not finish.
Moreover, he had more urgent matters at hand.
…If he didn’t act quickly, Lord Taotie would be taken to his execution!
“The execution ground of the Heavenly Dao, the Extinction Platform, is at the peak of the Mountain-Sea, located on opposite ends with our Jun Tian Prison, spanning over eight million miles of the Nine Provinces. Even with flying cranes or sword flight, it would take a long time to get there,” the Demon Prison Lord, unable to see the live stream screen visible only to Jian Yunlan, was still trying to persuade him earnestly.
“Human, I advise you to give up on saving him.”
Hearing this, Jian Yunlan’s smile faded, and his expression became serious.
However, the Demon Prison Lord had a point—he was just an ordinary mortal, how could he possibly make it to the Extinction Platform from here? Eight million miles sounded so far, and even if he walked, it might take him eight or nine hundred years to get there.
Unless…
Jian Yunlan remembered the system’s prompt from not long ago: “The Multiverse Mall is now open.”
He clicked the “Mall” directory that popped up in the top right corner of the light screen. Sure enough, the list of popular items appeared, and Jian Yunlan started scanning through the items:
[Fate Simulation Formula (1,000,000 credit points)]
[Good Luck Charm (1,000,000 credit points)]
[Instant Travel Talisman (1,000,000 credit points)…]
Hmm, Instant Travel Talisman?
If this item lives up to its name, then he would only need 8,000 of these talismans to instantly cross 8 million miles, right?
But after seeing the price, Jian Yunlan felt a bit deflated:
“One Instant Travel Talisman costs one million credit points. Eight thousand of them would be eight hundred billion credit points. Even if the viewers send tons of gifts, I still can’t afford it, can I?!”
The items in the system’s mall were expensive, which was to be expected.
Otherwise, if viewers could easily gift a few items, the hosts could quickly exchange them for god-level items that would make completing challenges too easy, right? That would ruin the fun and balance of the transmigration challenge.
Even the most popular hosts, no matter how many gifts they received, could at most afford to buy three to five items, and that was already enough to make countless small hosts envious.
Though he knew he couldn’t afford it, Jian Yunlan still clicked to check the amount of gifts that could be redeemed in his live stream system:
9,000,000,000…0000 credit points.
There were countless zeros in between.
Jian Yunlan: “I can’t afford it… can I???!!!”
What Jian Yunlan didn’t realize was that the moment he spoke those words, the gifts in the live stream chat exploded even more intensely.
[Little Yun, go go go!!!]
[Damn, Boss Jian doubts our financial power, our viewers in the Multiverse are not to be underestimated]
[In our “Genius Baby, Three and a Half Years Old” plane, we have a lot of CEOs controlling the global economy, we are not to be underestimated!]
[One-click boost for Little Lan to catch up with Lord Taotie, I’m in!]
[Didn’t expect to ship CP in Boss Jian’s live stream]
[Did you guys notice the Multiverse live stream management sending gifts too…?]
More viewers didn’t even have time to send bullet comments; they just kept sending gifts.
Jian Yunlan stared as the amount of gifts he could redeem suddenly grew by another zero.
Jian Yunlan was deeply moved.
So everyone was helping him!
What was he hesitating for?
With a thought, Jian Yunlan immediately heard the mechanical “ding-dong” sound:
[You have obtained [Instant Travel Talisman] x8000]
“…”
A cold wind swept through the cliff of the Jun Tian Prison.
Seeing that Jian Yunlan stood there in a daze, the Demon Prison Lord couldn’t help but grab him and shake him: “Human? Human! Are you okay? Look, don’t be sad, don’t think about saving Taotie anymore, you won’t make it in time.”
“Besides, there are many trials on the way, and Taotie will be executed in half an hour. You might as well—”
Jian Yunlan smiled awkwardly but politely: “Sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’ll go ahead.”
Demon Prison Lord: “?”
The next second, a flash of white light appeared in front of him.
Jian Yunlan, along with his snack stall, disappeared.
Demon Prison Lord: “……?”
He furrowed his brows, thinking that Jian Yunlan might be playing some trick, so he opened his Heavenly Eye to take a look.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Yunlan had already arrived a million miles away, in Kunlun State.
“This… this is impossible?! Even I would take several hours riding a whale to get there…” The Demon Prison Lord rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen it wrong. He closed his eyes to concentrate and opened his Heavenly Eye again.
This time, Jian Yunlan was no longer in Kunlun State.
“I told you, he couldn’t have moved so… quickly…”
The Demon Prison Lord’s words caught in his throat.
—In that instant, his Heavenly Eye saw Jian Yunlan, in the blink of an eye, had already arrived in the Great Wilderness State, two million miles away from the Jun Tian Prison!
“…”
In later years, this became a famous math problem, widely circulated in the Jun Tian Prison:
“Question: Within 3 seconds, Jian Yunlan traveled from the Jun Tian Prison to Kunlun State, one million miles away, and then, 1 second later, reached the Great Wilderness State, two million miles away. Assuming he is traveling in uniformly accelerated straight-line motion, how much longer would it take him to reach the Extinction Platform, which is eight million miles away from the Jun Tian Prison?”
Demon Prison Lord: “…”
His lips trembled: “I… I don’t know!!!”
With a loud rumble, a mushroom cloud rose above the Demon Prison Lord’s head.
—The CPU was smoking.
