Ha, just hold on tight!
Digging Girl ignored the barrage of comments—it was her moment to enjoy alone!
Seeing her giggling, Bai Fu also chuckled to herself. Her plan today had been three-quarters successful. Now, she just needed the final step—
Turn Digging Girl, who had been pursuing her from the Abandoned Cooling Factory, into a role model and tempt other players to chase her like Digging Girl!
Before this, she had led players to fight monsters and helped them earn Experience. She had even used her own sacrifices to earn players' tears. Today, on this exciting day of reunion, it was time to switch tactics and offer the players a different kind of emotional value.
"The journey from the Abandoned Cooling Factory to here wasn't easy, was it?" Bai Fu suddenly asked.
Digging Girl waved her hand: "It was fine, I took a car, and there wasn't any danger on the road."
As she spoke, her stomach suddenly growled.
Digging Girl's face turned awkward.
Just as she claimed she was fine, her hunger betrayed her. Sometimes the game was too realistic for its own good.
Fortunately, Bai Fu's smile became even warmer.
"Let's grab some food first."
"No need, really no need," Digging Girl quickly declined.
Bai Fu pulled her along without another word: "Don't worry, An Ya and I came out for dinner."
Facing Bai Fu's firm stance, Digging Girl had no choice but to follow.
She had wanted to show her perfect side and boost her Affinity points with Bai Fu. She didn't expect the practical execution to become so embarrassing.
But awkward as it was, Digging Girl felt triumphant, especially after seeing the wailing and various expressions of envy in the comments. She felt so thrilled she thought she might just fly.
She remembered how it was when she first posted about Bai Fu in the Community. There had been a large group of people doubting her, and most of the supportive ones were just there for amusement.
Looking back now, what a turnaround!
It only proved that true wisdom is lonely!
Digging Girl had decided that after parting ways with Bai Fu for the day, she would start a new thread in the Community.
It wasn't to humiliate those who mocked her; the brilliance of a sage wasn't attained by tricking fools.
She mainly wanted to show off, detailing her emotional journey from deciding to search for Bai Fu to their reunion, and importantly, to describe the sensation of shaking hands with Bai Fu. Such fantastic writing material—how could she not pen down several hundred words?
With these thoughts, Digging Girl followed behind Bai Fu, soon realizing, along with the players watching the live stream, that the material gathered from tonight's journey might be too much to ever fully write down.
At 7:03 PM, arrived with Fufu and An Ya at the Red Sail Ship Restaurant, Fufu treated them to delicious cuisine characteristic of the wasteland;
At 7:52 PM, left the restaurant with Fufu and An Ya, strolling along a pathway lined with metal pipes, discovered Fufu's love for sweets, their adorable, unexpected snack stroll;
At 8:26 PM, visited "Mechanical Power" amusement park with Fufu and An Ya, marveled at the scrapped Power Armor, envious of the close relationship between Fufu and An Ya as colorful lights scattered from the columns;
At 9:28 PM, climbed the highest Radio Tower in Lynn with Fufu and An Ya, the wind harsh at the top, but feeling warm all over standing next to Fufu.
Standing on the observation deck of the Radio Tower, looking out at Lynn submerged in the Night, Digging Girl's thoughts drifted far away.
During her outing with Bai Fu, the Star Travel Society was nearly bursting at the seams, from the district of the Abandoned Cooling Factory to the main board, player activity was sky-high.
[Something big has happened!]
[Are they fighting again?]
[Check out Digging Girl's live stream, you'll see for yourself]
Many players moved quickly. When they arrived at Digging Girl's live stream, they were all stunned.
Holy crap, it could be done ?
This weird atmosphere, this bizarre content—anyone would think they were watching an anime!
[Oh, my eyes, I'm going to be blinded]
[Kill and rob for Fufu!]
[Why isn't it me next to Fufu!]
[Mother of God, showing off to my face, can being highly Affinity with an NPC lead to this experience? Can someone tell me how much Affinity Bai Fu has towards Digging Girl for reference?]
[Man, the game can be played ?]
[I think after leveling up an NPC's Affinity to a certain point, you might actually be able to get married!]
Going crazy in the live stream, these players returned to the Community to continue their frenzy. Their influence drew in even players uninterested in the topic, who dropped whatever they were doing to flood Digging Girl's stream.
Thank goodness the servers of Stars above were remarkably stable, or the stream room might have exploded.
That night, Bai Fu's popularity surged in a new way, different from before.
Previous surges had her name spread only within the game, but this time, many bystander players who didn't usually follow her or even play the game joined in. They spread the content of Digging Girl's live stream to external social media, suddenly turning Bai Fu into a minor promotional symbol for Stars above.
"Shocking! A streamer turns Stars above into a dating simulator!"
"Still searching for a close virtual friend? Stars above, you deserve it!"
