Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Morning Battle

The next morning dawned.

Chixia Village lay in tranquil slumber.

Gray clouds embraced the green mountain mist, shrouded in a gauzy blur,

While the indigo sky was sprinkled with the last of the morning stars, distant and vast.

It was unlike the world of mortals, yet better than it.

With more than an hour before the start of “Shining Transformation Trip” live stream, Jiang Li’s biological clock had already gone off.

By the time she was dressed and opened the door to step out, it was still somewhat dark outside.

Despite the thick fog, she could faintly discern a figure pushing open a gate and walking out.

The silhouette was tall and lean, clearly a young person.

It must be the son Old Master mentioned last night.

Jiang Li didn’t pay much attention, turning instead to tie her wrist guards under the porch.

At this time, Jiang Yan was still sound asleep in the living room, and one could faintly hear his snoring through the wooden door.

The old master had also risen, draped in a single layer of clothing, and unsteady on his feet as he came by with a porcelain basin.

Seeing Jiang Li for an instant, the old master was startled, then gestured with his hands.

Jiang Li smiled, “No, I wasn’t woken up by any noise, I’m used to getting up early. I’m planning to go for a run in a bit.”

She had intended to practice shooting.

But that thing couldn’t be brought on a plane, and even if she had brought it, it wouldn’t be good to scare people in the village.

So she opted for the simplest and most unadorned form of exercise—morning jogging.

The old master’s lips parted slightly in surprise.

Because in his memory, it was hard for young people to get up so early, especially a young girl of her age.

And not only did she get up early, but she was also going for a morning run.

He set the basin down and, through gestures, told her where was good for running and reminded her repeatedly to be careful.

Jiang Li stood patiently on the side, listening and nodding from time to time.

She really hadn’t misjudged, this old master, though fated for a humble life and born with ailments, was genuinely kind-hearted and simple.

Staying with such a person was the most delightful.

After zipping up her sports jacket and bidding farewell to the old master, Jiang Li turned and disappeared into the mist.

–

At seven o’clock in the morning, “Shining Transformation Trip” started on time.

[Here it comes, here it comes, I’m so good—set my alarm for 7 AM and waited.]

[It’s so early, I wonder if those young masters and misses are up yet.]

[Awesome, I thought there wouldn’t be anyone in the stream this early, but it looks like everyone’s awake.]

[Is there a possibility that I didn’t sleep all night?]

[+1 above, waking up early is impossible for me, unless I don’t sleep the night.]

People who hadn’t slept included Lu Xingchao.

He had pulled an all-nighter at his studio the previous evening.

Before he could rest, the alarm for the live stream went off.

So, with a jolt, he was wide awake again, hurrying to open Flash Change’s stream.

He had promised to show support for his goddess.

With so many haters against his goddess, if he didn’t show up, there might truly be no one to speak up for her.

And when his unique [L神]nickname floated across the stream’s chatroom, it instantly caused quite a stir.

[No way, L神 actually came, and I thought him being a fan of Jiang Li was just talk.]

[Aaaah L神, Mommy loves you! Can’t believe I bumped into you here!]

“I can’t believe L God actually likes Jiang Li, this little green tea. What a waste of my white-knighthood. I’m unfollowing right now.”

Facing the barrage of cold sarcasm and hot derision in the comments, Lu Xingchao didn’t take it to heart. @@novelbin@@

He’d been a host for so many years; he was used to it.

After all, he was here to boost the performance of his goddess. Why should he care about the haters?

So, he grabbed his thermos cup with a backhand, lying comfortably and leisurely in his gaming chair while watching the live stream.

The live stream camera first switched to an aerial view of Chixia Village captured by a drone.

By this time, the morning mist had completely dissipated, and the morning light poured down in torrents, rendering this tranquil little village in a resplendence of gold and jade.

“How beautiful, such an aesthetic crit!”

“It seems the director’s team is quite professional; the shots are all very nice.”

“I didn’t expect Chixia Village to be this pretty. I’ll have to make a trip there when I have time!”

“Count me in, sis above. After the live stream ends, let’s go as a group!”

Just when the audience in the live stream room were immersed in the picturesque scenery, the camera abruptly switched to the six guests.

He Yun and Qi Tianyu had gotten up one after the other, one tidying up in front of a mirror and the other sitting on the bed, daydreaming.

“Ah, Mr. He is so handsome! I can’t deal with it. He’s definitely the face of Shining Transformation Trip!”

“Could the fans of He Yun above not use such heavy filters, please? It’s obvious to anyone with eyes that Jiang Yan is the most handsome (no arguing, I am a Jiang Yan hater but I’m just being objective).”

“Little Qi is so cute haha, seems like he’s still dazed from sleep.”

Meanwhile, Shu Yan and Wen Jiaojiao were of course still lost in sweet slumber.

Being girls, they were naturally less physically robust, and after exerting so much effort climbing mountains and fording streams the day before, they just couldn’t get up.

But upon hearing the noise from the cameras, both of them rubbed their eyes in sync.

The moment they saw the camera, Wen Jiaojiao’s morning grumpiness kicked in, and she expressed her irritation with an “tsk” and a furrowed brow.

“What the hell, it’s only seven o’clock. Doesn’t your program team have any humanity?”

Shu Yan let out a loud yell and covered herself head to toe with the blanket.

“Ah, why has the live stream started, I haven’t done my makeup yet!”

“Princess Wen is acting up again, can’t stand it.”

“If you can’t stand it, don’t watch. Our princess is used to living like a little miss, she’s obviously not used to it on the first day, and who knows, Jiang Li might not even be awake yet.”

“Shu Yan is so concerned about her image, isn’t she? I haven’t really seen her wear light makeup.”

At seven in the morning, the live stream’s comments were rolling nonstop.

In less than ten minutes, the online viewership reached over ten thousand, clearly more than the previous day.

Director Sun sat in front of the monitor, gleefully looking at the boiling blood-inducing numbers, biting into a pork bun, he said, “Where are Jiang Yan and Jiang Li’s cameras? Switch to them quickly. Yesterday’s data was all thanks to them. The headquarters has already sent a notice, telling us to keep a close eye on their movements.”

Following the instruction, the two camera operators hurriedly pushed the cameras closer.

However, the whole screen was pitch black.

Even from the live stream labeled with Jiang Yan’s name, faint snoring could be heard.

“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter; how can the young master still be snoring in his sleep?”

“Shh, you disrespectful maid, how dare you mock the young master? Yesterday, the young master worked hard all day for Miss Jiang, of course he’s snoring because he’s tired.”

“Help, Jiang Yan couldn’t still be wearing that Sailor Moon sleep dress, could he? The mental image, I can’t even look.”

“Heh, just as expected, Jiang Li hasn’t woken up either. Did her persona built up yesterday just collapse today?”

The camera operator knocked on Jiang Li’s door, but there was still no movement inside.

He couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Jiang, the live stream has started, please get up.”

The comments immediately showed displeasure.

“Why does Jiang Li get a reminder from the camera operator, when all the others got up on their own?”

“She’s really been coddled too much, acting like she’s still the little miss of the Capital.”

“It’s not like that. You haters just want to nitpick, don’t you? What’s wrong with the camera operator reminding Jiang Li about the recording? Didn’t the others just get up too? Is there really a need to put her down like this?”
