Global Live Streaming: From Streamer to Divine God

Li Xu, because he had quite some "courage," thus got a job assisting in the Cat and Dog Room.

Don't be fooled by the name; the so-called Cat and Dog Rooms in each palace do not just have cats and dogs. The animals they house vary, entirely depending on the personal tastes and preferences of each consort. For instance, in the cage in front of Li Xu, there was a large creature.

At first glance, Li Xu thought he saw a large cat, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a mountain cat.

It stood one meter tall and nearly two meters long, with slender limbs and a sleek, shiny black coat. Watching it stride leisurely around, it also exuded a majestic aura only a fierce beast could possess.

However, what mainly distinguished it from a cat were its ears.

Its ears were much longer than a cat's, with tufts of hair at the tips resembling feathers, It was through them that Li Xu finally recognized what it was…

"Ao~~"

The dull roar startled Li Xu, and the person in charge of the Cat and Dog Room, an old eunuch with graying hair, smacked Li Xu's forehead and scolded him with murky eyes, "When dealing with these beasts, the first thing is not to be afraid. The more afraid of them you are, the less they'd respect you. Then how do you discipline them, how do you teach them to understand human nature?"

Li Xu touched his forehead and gave a "naive" smile.

"If you want to learn my skills, you must show some real competence. Otherwise... Hmph!"

"Yes, I'll listen to you from now on."

"Hmm, then let me continue..."

Li Xu appeared to listen attentively on the surface, but inside, he was secretly fretting.

What to do, no freedom at all.

In this imperial palace, where could one even find a moment alone? How then could he live stream and provide some explosive news?

Was he supposed to let the audience watch an old eunuch lecturing a young eunuch for hours on end?

Moreover, without any sound!

Lost in thought, he couldn't help wanting to turn his head back, only for his neck to barely move when "snap!" he was smacked on the forehead by the old eunuch. This time, it actually hurt. Li Xu covered his forehead, annoyed and silently complaining, "TMD, what kind of situation is this, am I supposed to livestream Animal Planet? Crap, I must do something about this."

It was just then that three First Attendants from the Jade Screen Palace returned from paying their respects. Hearing the noise outside, the old eunuch stopped his lecture: "Alright, that's enough for today!"

Li Xu, as if granted amnesty, quickly followed the old eunuch.

Apart from this "freshly baked" mentor and apprentice duo, several other minor eunuchs were scattered in front of various pet houses, all very serious, either feeding, cleaning, or meticulously playing with the animals.

Upon seeing Li Xu and the old eunuch, these people respectfully put down their tasks and bowed.

The old eunuch completely ignored them, but Li Xu suddenly realized that his status had unknowingly been elevated.

Indeed, having a job is very different from not having one—it meant he was "enrolled," like having an "identity card," gaining a sort of recognition, a place to belong, no longer like before, like a weed growing everywhere, like a drifter floating through the Court…

"Many people look down on the Cat and Dog Room, saying it's a place for the elderly, worthless, without prospects. They all sharpen their heads, trying to worm their way to the masters' sides, dreaming of rapid promotions and getting rich. But they don't think, the masters' sides might be glamorous, but how many of them end up well?"

As the old eunuch walked, he "talked to himself," "Look at them, they are nothing yet, each one only clustering around the masters' pets, not even weighing their own lowly bones…"

Indeed, Li Xu had noticed too, that each of these eunuchs was guarding a specific chamber, keeping it very neat and clean, while the others...

"Your eyes are very clear, and you don't carry that dreadful castrated aura, your Spiritual Energy is also passable...I'm getting old, and who knows when I will end up in the Transformed People Ground, I don't want to take all my skills to the grave..."

Facing the old eunuch's gentle gaze, Li Xu was somewhat unsure how to react. Should he thank the other for his recognition and follow up with some sycophantic humility?

He could only feign a "simple and honest" silly smile, completely missing the old eunuch's fleeting look of disappointment.

"You just mind yourself. I can't say much for other places, but here it's quiet, without so many messy affairs. As long as you do your duty, you can live a tranquil life!"

As Li Xu listened, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and without minding the current atmosphere or setting, he quickly stepped forward to catch up with the old eunuch, urgently asking, "Master Liu, the pets in the Cat and Dog Room can't be kept in cages all the time, right? They need some fresh air..."

"Nonsense, why are you asking this?"

Li Xu quickly bowed his head, covering up the corners of his mouth that he couldn't restrain from lifting, "Oh nothing, I've just been feeling cooped up lately, with rules everywhere and eyes all around."

"Although they are mere animals, they are revered as our ancestors, and some are particularly cherished by nobles. These relationships are seriously significant, how can we not take good care of them?"

"So that means… they often go out, um, get some air?"

"Get some air? You speak such absurd things."

"Yes, yes..."

A hint of a smile flashed through the old eunuch's eyes. He thought to himself, "This Xiao Lu Zi still retains some of his innate nature, his manners are quite poor, and he's somewhat slow and foolish. Anyone else would have understood by now and could have started acting out a filial and wise scene. But he fails to catch the implications of the conversation, truly an oddity. However, it is precisely this quality that makes him valuable. If there's something really lacking in this palace, it might just be someone like him. He's the best choice there is."

In that moment of reflection, the old eunuch thought a great deal, thus his gaze towards Li Xu softened even more, "The rules here might not be as strict as in other places, but you can't just keep making a fuss. Do your work well, and you'll see the benefits, my boy."

Li Xu understood the hidden meaning in these words and thanked his lucky stars. His "talent scout" had appeared, and the opportunity had arrived. With the protection of this senior eunuch in charge, his grand venture into live broadcasting could finally truly take off.

"Who is Liu Fu?"

Li Xu was taken aback, seeing several elegantly dressed palace maids walking around the corner, each wearing an arrogant demeanor, young in age yet graceful in posture, beautiful in appearance...

"It is indeed this old servant!"

"A decree from Consort Hua..."

Everyone immediately knelt down, and Li Xu dared not delay, doing the same.

But then, Consort Hua, Consort Hua... Just hearing her name made Li Xu's heart jump.

"...bring the Mountain Cat bestowed by His Majesty to First Attendant Chun, let all the sisters of the inner palace have a look."

Li Xu was astonished. It was happening so fast, so abruptly?

But the thought of each main character from the TV series appearing, though not exactly, in the live broadcast scene, filled him with excitement.

The beauty lies precisely in the "not exactly" aspect. Imagine how those main characters from the TV series would react?
