Immortal Realm, although there were only 50,000 players, the number of people following it was more than a million.
Unfortunately, this game was too mysterious. To this day, not a single image had been leaked. Most of the content online consisted of sketches left by players with artistic talent. Yet, even these sketches were pursued by the vast majority of gamers and became massive hits online.
The words “Immortal Realm” had already become a traffic code. Recently, for some reason, several streamers claiming to be Immortal Realm players had popped up on various streaming platforms. Most of them were just seeking attention and trying to capitalize on the trend to make a living.
Of course, one or two of them were real. For example, this Immortal Realm Scholar.

Immortal Realm Scholar began his stream at 6:00 PM every day and continued until 12:00 AM. As for the daytime, that was his gaming time.
“Huhu, there are still 20 minutes until 6:00 PM. I wonder what kind of story the streamer will bring us today?”
“Waiting.”
“Waiting +1.”
“Newcomer reporting in, please take care of me.”
“Black screen streaming, earning over 10,000 a day (dog head).”
“Haha, stay calm. Today is actually considered low. In the past, it was always 100,000 or 200,000. It’s so low today because Scholar stood us up yesterday, and several bigshots got angry.”
“I’m not interested in anything else. I just want to know Chen Xiaoyan’s information in the real-world.”
“Stop, stop, stop. Brother upstairs, don’t cause trouble. If Scholar gets banned because of this, you’ll be rushed by millions of angry gamers, believe it or not?”
“Dammit, who exactly is the game company behind Immortal Realm? Is it right for them to play with our feelings like this? Damn it!”
“Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is ‘I don’t know’.”
“If the Game Official dared to show their face, they’d be blasted by netizens in a heartbeat.”
“Cough, cough. This little brother was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer at the hospital a few days ago. I know my days are numbered. I only hope to play Immortal Realm once before I die. That way, I can die without regrets.”
“Copy-paste dog, get lost.”
“Duplicate rate 100%.”
“Quiet, it’s 6:00 PM. Everyone stand up and prepare to welcome the streamer’s arrival.”
6:02 PM.
The stream room lit up. A rather sloppy man with glasses appeared on the screen. His hair was messy and seemed like it hadn’t been groomed for a long time. He wasn’t old, only 25. At this moment, he was holding a bucket of instant noodles and slurping them down.
“Hello everyone, I am Immortal Realm Scholar. I’ve kept you all waiting.”
Scholar put down the instant noodles, adjusted his glasses, and flashed a smile to greet the audience in the stream room.
“Streamer, I’ve followed you for a long time. You’re worth at least a few million by now, right? Why have you been reduced to eating instant noodles?”
“Big Brother Scholar, your little sister is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has long legs. I can handle the living room and the kitchen. Consider me, maybe?”
“Wait, this dog Scholar actually has female fans? That’s not scientific.”
“Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is that she’d pull it out and it would be bigger than yours.”
Scholar finished the instant noodles in one go, tidied up a bit, and picked up a paper fan. Upon seeing this, the old fans immediately perked up and got their snacks ready.
“He’s coming, he’s coming! He’s coming with stories!”
“Is this streamer a storyteller?”
“Not exactly. Brother Scholar tells the events that happen in the Immortal Realm as stories for everyone.”
“Yeah, I think it’s really interesting.”
“Last time we spoke, just as the two forces were in a standoff across the river, a burst of rainbow light erupted from the Teleportation Array. A legendary figure who could sway the outcome of the battle appeared. She wore the Pink Rosy Garment and held the Divine Umbrella. She descended upon the battlefield like a goddess from the heavens, and every Snow Sect Disciple bowed their heads to her.”
“So, who was she?”
Scholar left a cliffhanger and looked at the camera with a smile.
“The Dominating Healer, Chen Xiaoyan!”
“What ‘Dominating Healer’? Call her the strongest Heavenly Fragrance in the Immortal Realm! You scoundrel!”
“If Immortal Realm weren’t a full-dive VR game, this Chen Xiaoyan would definitely be a cheater.”
“She’s just that good, so she’s a cheater? Is it necessary to be so narrow-minded?”
“You can’t blame that brother. Her experiences themselves are already ridiculous.”
Scholar didn’t care about the flame war in the bullet chat. The more intensely they fought, the higher his popularity would grow.
“She is a legend of the Heavenly Fragrance, and also the Vice Sect Leader of the Snow Sect.”
“But the power of one person could not bridge the gap in numbers. There were too many Peerless Divine Sect Disciples—as many as ants, stretching as far as the eye could see.”
“The Snow Sect’s position was being crushed, and countless Snow Sect Disciples fell. Right at that moment, the Teleportation Array lit up once more!”
“He, the strongest of the Peerless Divine Sect, Tianxia Wushuang, arrived with reinforcements!”
Hearing this, the audience began to complain.
“What is this? Is the Peerless Divine Sect that low? They completely rely on human waves.”
“Ha, fighting depends on numbers. That logic applies everywhere.”
“Dammit, I thought the Snow Sect Leader was coming to support, but it was this guy. How shameless!”
“Where is my Dominating Healer, Chen Xiaoyan? You talked her up so much, and now she’s just a side character?”
Seeing that the timing was right, Scholar quickly moved to the next part.
“Just as the Snow Sect was about to fall into despair, Chen Xiaoyan held the Divine Umbrella and flew into the sky. The pink light from the Divine Umbrella suddenly erupted, scattering the Light of Healing across the entire battlefield!”
“In just a few moments, the injuries of the Snow Sect Disciples… were all healed!”
“666”
“I knew the Dominating Healer wouldn’t let me down.”
“The ultimate healer.”
“Haha, I bet the Peerless Divine Sect’s mentality has collapsed. They fought for so long for nothing.”
“Dammit, I really want to enter the game and meet this Chen Xiaoyan.”
“I think Brother Scholar is definitely a hardcore fan of Chen Xiaoyan. Everyone else is just glossed over, but only she gets detailed descriptions.”
“Weren’t there colored sketches of her online? Why did they suddenly disappear?”
“Who knows.”
“Chen Xiaoyan is good-looking, but she can only be ranked second. Number one has to be Shen Qingqing.”
“Indeed, Shen Qingqing is the goat.”
“Everyone, do you remember Chen Xiaoyan’s little follower?”
“Of course I remember. Isn’t that my lolita fiancee, Chong Chong?”
“Get some shame. She’s clearly my fiancee. You ‘Cao Cao’ types have had enough!”
“Why are you mentioning her for no reason?”
“Go to Heavenly Abundance Nation and search for ‘Moe God Pet’ and you’ll know.”
“Wait, what does my fiancee have to do with Moe God Pet?”
“+1”
“Moe God Pet is Chong Chong. Don’t you guys look at the sketches? Don’t you think they look very similar?”
“Damn—”
“Rising from my deathbed! My fiancee is Moe God Pet? No wonder she’s so cute!”
“I’m out, I’m going to see Chong Chong. Farewell, Scholar.”
Seeing his popularity plummet, Scholar didn’t care. What he cared about was that the bigshot Chong Chong was actually streaming?
Holy crap!!!
Scholar quickly shut down his stream to download Heavenly Abundance Nation. He didn’t give the million viewers in the stream room any time to react, leaving them staring at a black screen in a daze.
“I have to say, this is impressive. Dog Scholar, you’ve been on for less than 10 minutes and you already stood us up?”
“Dammit, don’t call him Scholar anymore. Call him a beast.”
