Gloomy CEO X Holographic Male God (2): A voice that makes your legs go limp

After receiving the package, Si Qi returned to the living room.The package was full of books; this was already the fifth box of textbooks he had bought recently. He had already finished studying the previous ones, and now these were more complex specialized textbooks, all in foreign languages.

Putting the books on the desk, Xiu Xiu said to Si Qi, [Master~ Xiu Xiu has finally found the whereabouts of the Lord God~~]

Si Qi raised an eyebrow: [Where did he hide? It’s so hard to find him.]

Xiu Xiu: [Lord God has been staying at home all the time. Xiu Xiu took a long time to confirm that he is indeed Lord God~~]

Si Qi tightened his grip on the book, a bit startled: [Don’t tell me he’s become a shut-in too!!]

Then those two really were quite fated to be together, truly a match made in heaven.

Whether in a good sense or a bad sense.

Xiu Xiu quickly denied it: [No, the Lord God is still the same as usual, incredibly handsome!]

Si Qisong took a breath and curiously asked, [So, what has he been doing at home all this time? Is he not feeling well?]

Xiu Xiu pondered and said, [I guess so? The Lord God has a severe case of OCD. When he was young, he could only have tutors come to his home to teach. Later, when the internet developed, he started studying online..]

As Xiuxiu spoke, he projected the information about this world into Si Qi’s mind.

In this world, Chu Feng came from a prominent family. As the eldest son, he had been unable to socialize outside for years due to his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his personality was gloomy and indifferent. After reaching adulthood, he worked through the internet, focusing on the virtual network industry, which was at odds with the family’s physical industry. There were subtle signs that other family members were trying to push him out of the core circle and take away his inheritance rights.

Noticing that he couldn’t compete with others in the physical sector, Chu Feng utilized his resources to fully immerse himself in the development of the internet industry, seeking other ways to expand his competitiveness.

The game agency company that the original owner signed with was under Chu Feng’s umbrella.

Xiu Xiu excitedly pointed at a line in the data and said, [Master, the Lord God has created a holographic game!]

No matter which technologically advanced world it is, holography is an indispensable mainstream technology. Even in the interstellar era, it will never become outdated and will continue to thrive and develop.

Si Qi sat at the desk flipping through a book, and upon hearing this, he didn’t even lift his eyelids, his tone indifferent: [Guessed it.]

Xiu Xiu was extremely surprised: [Hmm? How did Master guess it? That’s amazing!]

Si Qi analyzed: [The Child of the World climbed to power by stepping on the original owner’s back, and in the end, he merely became a popular game streamer on the internet. This has almost no impact on the entire world.]

Xiu Xiu, realizing it, said foolishly: [Oh, right!]

Si Qi: [So his profession must still have areas that can be explored, such as holographic networks.]

Holographic technology can change the world, and the most influential in bringing holographic technology to people’s attention through holographic games were the hottest streamers at the time. The more eye-catching it is, the higher people’s acceptance of holograms, and the faster the era shifts from keyboard networks to holographic networks.

After Si Qi accepted the original owner’s memories, he had some guesses in his mind, so he wasn’t too surprised to hear the exclamations of “wow” at this moment.

It did remind him of the internal test notification he received from the company before the original owner broke down, telling him to promote a game developed by the company.

It’s just that at that time, the original owner was so flustered after Zhou Qi exposed the lie that he didn’t pay attention to this seemingly ordinary job.

Si Qi: [What else did the Son of the World do after the original owner passed away?]

The influence of the Son of the World being a streamer was not enough to significantly advance the era; its impact was ultimately limited.

He must have done something else.

Xiu Xiu: [Do you want to ask the world consciousness?]

Si Qi thought for a moment and declined.

[Forget it.]

As a Quick Travel agent, he could use Xiu Xiu to inquire with the world consciousness for some information about the future and understand the situation of the Child of the World later on.

But what he was going to do next was to go against the Child of the World. In that case, the World Consciousness not excluding him would already be giving the Lord God a lot of face. To then go and ask the World Consciousness for information about the Child of the World to deal with him would be too ungrateful.

[Check if the Child of the World has been in contact with anyone recently, or if anyone has contacted him…]

Si Qi pondered for a few seconds and added, [Especially contact with those from Chu Feng’s family.]

Xiu Xiu seemed to sense something and said, [Do you mean…?]

Si Qi: [Being a streamer is still a bit lacking in meaning. If we want to accelerate the promotion of holographic technology, the Son of the World should definitely have closer ties to this area.]

Xiu Xiu, realizing, exclaimed: [Are you saying that the Son of the World might directly acquire holographic technology?]

Si Qi nodded: [Exactly.]

Xiu Xiu sighed: [It really does sound like something the Son of the World could pull off…]

In his youth, he engaged in campus bullying, driving classmates to the point where they had to drop out.

After starting work, he used underhanded tactics to eliminate his biggest competitor, climbing to the top over their dead body.

Once he achieved success, he teamed up with the company’s enemies to secretly harm the boss, steal company secrets, and help the enemies bring down the company. As a result, he transformed from a worker into an entrepreneur, thriving in the new era thanks to holographic technology…

A complete “winner in life” growth trajectory.

Thinking carefully, the original owner’s depression and binge-eating disorder, along with their desire to be loved, and Chu Feng’s severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, were similar to the situation where Si Qi and Chu Feng were both afflicted by their inner demons. It was as if fate had arranged it so that the Son of the World could exploit these fatal weaknesses to attack them.

Xiu Xiu stood up for the original owner: [Xiu Xiu will go check the Son of the World’s movements!! Let’s see what evil deeds they are up to this time!!]

Although Xiu Xiu was certain, the course of events was likely, as Si Qi said, a collusion between both parties to frame Si Qi and Chu Feng together.

The original owner’s reputation was ruined so quickly, perhaps it was the Chu family members who were secretly fanning the flames. Otherwise, how could a mediocre streamer like Zhou Qi have so quickly dealt with the powerful company insider, God 47? There must be a third force manipulating public opinion behind the scenes.

They ousted the original owner, assisted the spy Zhou Qi to rise to power, allowing Zhou Qi to secure a spot in the internal testing and gain access to the upper echelons of the company, and then “accidentally” got hold of the holographic technology or other secrets.

The subsequent developments are easy to guess. With the power of the world helping the Child of the World, everything he did would go smoothly, and one can imagine what would happen.

After Si Qi finished reading the book in his hand, Xiu Xiu found the crucial evidence and said to Si Qi, [The Son of the World and the Chu family indeed have a connection! Just as the master thought!]

Si Qi closed the book and rubbed his slightly tired brow, [As expected.]

Seeing this, Xiu·the master’s considerate little housekeeper·Xiu said with concern, [Master, you must be tired from reading! It’s already six in the afternoon, you should have dinner~~ Xiu Xiu has gathered a few of the cleanest and best-rated restaurants nearby for you~~ It’s time to treat yourself to something delicious!!]

Due to the lingering effects of the original owner’s presence in his body, Si Qi had recently found it hard to control his appetite, always feeling particularly hungry and unable to resist the urge to eat.

Fortunately, in so many worlds, he had been accustomed to eating only the food that Chu Feng prepared for him, so he had cleverly managed to curb the impulse to binge eat and want to eat everything he saw.

Every day, he only ate some food that was beneficial to his health and not particularly high in calories, like bread and such.

To be honest, this kind of food tasted like chewing wax for this body, and Si Qi found it particularly torturous to eat.

Xiu Xiu could sense Si Qi’s feelings of despair. Watching Si Qi exercise on the fitness equipment every day, pushing himself to the point where he couldn’t even lift his hands, made Xiu Xiu feel very heartbroken. Every now and then, Xiu Xiu whispered various “demonic temptations” in Si Qi’s mind, tempting him to eat something delicious as a reward.

Si Qi thought that if Xiu Xiu became a father in the future, he would definitely be the type to spoil his children.

In fact, he already found ways to pamper his own master.

Si Qi placed the book on the shelf, stood up, and stretched. Standing by the window, he gazed at the scenery outside, soothing his tired eyes, then picked up the bread and milk from the table and instructed, [Turn on the computer.]

With a series of beeps and whirrs, in a tone reminiscent of a parent nagging, it said something completely different: [Master, you either exercise or read and work every day. This kind of life is too healthy, not enjoyable at all.]

Like in the previous world, and the one before that, his master was well taken care of by the Lord God, with everything provided for him. People all over the world adored and loved him, and he could sleep whenever he wanted and play whenever he wanted. It was incredibly comfortable.

But now, he had to lose weight every day, read and study whenever he had free time, and then record live streams for six or seven hours straight. It was simply… simply making Xiu Xiu’s heart ache!

Si Qi was at a loss for words: [Do you want me to stay this fat forever?]

Xiu Xiu muttered softly: [Not really… it’s just…]

Wasn’t Si Qi being too indulgent towards the original owner? Every time, he went all out to fulfill the wishes left behind by the other person…

Couldn’t he consider his own feelings for once?

Si Qi pulled open the spacious and comfortable gaming chair, his body enveloped by the chair. This wouldn’t put too much strain on his body from sitting for long periods and could provide some help.

The screen in front of him, which was almost large enough to occupy his entire field of vision, emitted a glow, and the high-end computer case made a slight sound as the cooling fan turned.

At 6:30, the live stream started on time. Before Si Qi even spoke, the enthusiastic comments had already filled the screen, and the number of viewers was rapidly rising, soon surpassing six figures.

Si Qi greeted the audience with a smile, and even a casual remark could elicit enthusiastic praise from the fans.

Seeing these comments, the genuine smile on Si Qi’s face grew even wider.

Si Qi knew very well that the original owner loved hearing compliments.

Similarly, fans who have followed the original for so many years also know that their God 7 liked to hear compliments. Whenever the audience praised his amazing plays or technical skills, 47’s mood became very good, and their tone carried a smile. He even performed beyond his usual level, leaving many shocking classic moments that countless fans and passersby talked about with great interest.

On the contrary, if someone made harsh remarks, mocked, or questioned 47, even though 47 wouldn’t say anything, they could keenly sense his mood suddenly dropping, as if he had received a huge blow.

Therefore, seasoned fans understood that while their idol was strong, he was also a very delicate and sensitive boy. Compared to financial support, their words were the truly valuable thing 47 needed. Consequently, they never hesitated to shower him with compliments, and praises flowed endlessly.

This kind of atmosphere, where he acted like a devoted boyfriend while carefully protecting him and never letting him suffer any grievances, actually increased the cohesion among the 47 fans to some extent, saving the original owner, who never showed up and didn’t socialize with peers, from countless troubles.

Si Qi skillfully opened the game software, waiting for the system to find teammates for him.

On his way to the “battlefield,” he didn’t forget to interact with the audience. His clear voice, filled with witty remarks, made every viewer of the live stream feel entertained, unlike some streamers who, after being pampered too much, became willful and treated the live stream as their own monologue.

In terms of taking care of his fans, the original owner never hesitated to put in the effort. He always considered how to make his fans happy while watching his live streams. Even though he became the top streamer in the industry two years ago, he never had any scandals of being arrogant or giving his fans a hard time. For years, he maintained a gentle and even tender attitude, and for this reason, he was truly deserving of the image of the number one idol in the hearts of millions of fans.

The game interface switched from waiting to loading, and soon he was dropped onto the battlefield, with his teammate not far away.

He pressed the R key and spoke: “Hello, hello, can you hear me?”

“Oh my! It’s God 7!!!” The other side immediately erupted with a mix of surprise and excitement, and you could still hear a brief snippet of voice that seemed to be directed away from the microphone: “Do you know who I got matched with? Oh my god—”

After a while, the other side’s voice came through, urgent and ecstatic: “I was just watching your live stream yesterday!! Ahhh, I really didn’t expect to be matched with you, am I on TV?”

Si Qi chuckled lightly and said, “Yeah, you are on TV.”

“Oh my ears!” The voice on the other end was mixed with a hint of shyness, and it hissed, “This voice sounds absolutely amazing with headphones…”

It’s like a fine wine aged for hundreds of years; just the smell can make you tipsy. Immersed in the aroma, one sip can get you drunk.

Si Qi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The person on the other side was already struggling, and at this moment, they immediately said, “Oh my god, don’t laugh, don’t laugh! My ears are so itchy, I can barely hold the mouse! My hands are shaking! Ahhh, I’m a man! Please stop laughing, I really can’t take it!!”

What if he ended up bending!!!

The fans in the comments section were laughing out loud.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

“Another day of envy, jealousy, and hatred.”

“Why can’t I play games with the God 7, boo hoo hoo, climbing to the top of the King is too hard, I can’t even get into the same rank as God 7…”

“I’m this person’s roommate~~ I’m currently watching him play games on a live stream~~ This guy’s face is as red as a monkey’s butt right now, hahaha!!”

The teammate that Si Qi got matched with was quite interesting; even a casual joke would get a very intense reaction. The audience in the livestream saw their interaction and responded very positively, with the bullet screen being extremely active. Plus, Si Qi was very good at chatting. The teammate, who could only be considered a casual fan before, became a die-hard fan after just a few exchanges with Si Qi.

Especially when Si Qi took out the enemy who was sniping at him with a single shot and even gave him a fully equipped AK-47. When he asked if he liked the 47, his teammate was so excited that he couldn’t contain himself and said, “Thank you, God 7! I love the 47 so much!!”

Si Qi chuckled and said, “Then you have to be clear if you like me or it. If it’s the gun, I would be very sad.”

“Ahhh!!” The teammate couldn’t hold back his screams, his ears turning red from excitement, and immediately said, “Of course I like you!!”

“Haha…” Si Qi’s magnetic voice could practically make someone pregnant. The teammates were so excited that they let out silent moans in front of the screen, their fists clenched tightly, their bodies slightly trembling. The roommates next to him were making faces at him, and he was so flustered that he couldn’t say a word in rebuttal.

After all, 47 was easy to get along with, and his words were pleasant to hear. Being paired with him felt like enjoying a spring breeze. More importantly, 47 was exceptionally skilled at playing games! He could carry people to victory! This experience was incredibly comfortable, and no one could resist it!

In comparison, being teased by 47 a few times during the game was nothing at all; in fact, it felt quite amusing.

This experience would definitely be unforgettable even after a few years.

Xiu Xiu watched Si Qi chat with people like the original owner, mumbling in Si Qi’s consciousness space, saying that the original owner had corrupted his master and had learned to be so glib-tongued.

Si Qi quickly finished a game and, after achieving the final victory, this teammate, like all the random teammates who had played with Si Qi during past live streams, eagerly requested to play another game. Si Qi readily agreed.

The teammate said with a grin, “I never expected that I would also have a day of being ‘sniped’ by fans as a lucky one.”

“Sniping” was a term frequently encountered in this war game. Many fans, out of envy and jealousy towards those who can become 47’s teammates, have monopolized several hours of 47’s game time without leaving. They pinpointed the battlefield location of 47 and his teammate through live streaming and came over to snipe them.

Because after a teammate died, Si Qi could still continue playing the game, it didn’t affect him. As long as the teammate didn’t log off, they could still be brought back by Si Qi for the next game, so it didn’t really deprive them of the opportunity to play with Si Qi. Therefore, this kind of minor “revenge” had become a little playful jealousy among fans, harmless yet adding a lot of entertainment value to the show.

This time, the teammate laughed and said he had become a target for millions of fans, and not only did he not feel troubled by it, but he was actually a bit proud of it.

After saying this, players who were sent to the same battlefield as Si Qi quickly saw the kill list on the top left corner of the screen and discovered 47’s name.

Since they were all players of this game, they naturally knew the name of this super popular game streamer, and some were even direct fans of 47. They immediately opened the live stream and confirmed that 47 was on the same battlefield as them at that moment, so they called their teammates to go find 47 together.

Compared to winning a game, the teammates clearly preferred to meet 47 up close, even if it was just through a network.

Thus, this proposal was met with unanimous agreement from the teammates, and the scene of the beloved God 7 being surrounded by a group of fans appeared.

“High-energy warning ahead!”

“God 7: It’s time to reap again”

“Whoa, that’s so cool!!!”

Experiencing firsthand the thrilling scene where many people were besieged and blocked, the teammate was both excitedly shouting and being turned into a beehive by the crazily shot real “barrage.” From the perspective of a dead soul, he watched teammate 47’s actions, seeing 47 effortlessly taking lives one after another, and excitedly screaming in the voice system, becoming a die-hard fan.

“Ahhhh!!! God 7 God 7!!! Right side right side!!”

“Okay.” Si Qi let out a light laugh, adjusted his perspective, switched magazines, and with precision to the millisecond, pressed the trigger. A bullet steadily hit the enemy’s forehead, then without a pause, it penetrated through the window to the first floor, encircling the enemies on the second floor from behind. The moment he burst through the door, he locked onto the target with the scope and pulled the trigger.

The corpse lying on the ground after being shot was so agitated that it started to sob: “Ahhh! God 7! God 7 killed me!!”

With a voice as magnetic as a god, Si Qi gently said, “Shh, corpses can’t talk.”

The corpse replied, “Hmm hmm hmm! I won’t say anything! I won’t tell my teammates where you are! God 7, hurry and loot my bag, I have so many healing potions! And a top-tier sniper rifle!! Wuwuwu, God 7, I love you!”

The teammate of the dead body couldn’t help but retort, “……Hey!”

The audience who heard everything: “Hahahahaha!!”

Xiu Xiu enviously said: [Master, Xiu Xiu also wants to register an account and play games with you~~ Xiu Xiu isn’t being greedy, just for one day as a teammate, okay~~]

Si Qi smiled with his eyes squinted: [Sure.]

He had to say, the feeling of working with games and being wildly praised by countless fans who loved him was really enjoyable…

No wonder the original owner liked being a streamer; he would like it too.

—

A few days later, in a private room at a clubhouse.

Under the atmospheric amber lights, the translucent orange drinks looked particularly tempting.

A few old classmates gathered together, chatting and laughing, reminiscing about their youthful days and discussing their busy lives now.

“You used to love playing games when you were in school, and now that you’re a game streamer, you’re finally living the dream, huh?”

“All I need to do is play some games and stream for a few hours each day. This life is great.”

Zhou Qi took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, “You think being a streamer is just about playing games? There’s a lot more to it—chatting skills, gaming techniques, fan management, staying on top of trends… there’s so much to it.”

“I don’t understand,” the friend muttered, shrugging and saying, “After getting married last year, the pressure has been really high. Ugh, with the mortgage and the baby’s formula, I still envy you, the single aristocrat, earning so much.”

“Come on, someone who eats off the public’s dime is trying to make me feel sorry for him? If you really want to switch places with me, would you?” Zhou Qi scoffed.

The friend chuckled and said, “No way, after getting married you’ll realize how important it is to have a stable job. Your line of work is also reliant on youth; when you get older, you’ll have to switch careers anyway.”

Zhou Qi sighed, “Yeah, so I need to earn enough money to last a lifetime quickly… I’m still a bit short right now.”

“You have over a million fans and still say ‘not bad’? At least among our group of classmates, you’re definitely one of the top few doing well.” That friend said, and suddenly remembered something, laughing, “By the way, do you remember Si Qi?”

A friend next to him frowned and said unhappily, “Why are you bringing that guy up?”

“Oh right, back then, you seemed to have been cheated on by that guy? Hahaha!”

“Go to hell, I was the one who dumped that woman first.”

“You’re so tough now, but weren’t you the one crying when you broke up?”

“Shut up!”

“Hahahahaha…”

“What happened to Si Qi?” Zhou Qi raised an eyebrow.

That friend said, “I saw him at the bureau last month. Wow, the change was so big, really… tsk tsk.”

As he spoke, he shook his head and swayed, and the people around him looked at him curiously, showing great interest. He didn’t know how to describe Si Qi’s miserable state, so he simply took out his phone, found the video, and played it on the table.

In no time, everyone widened their eyes, laughing and joking, saying, “No way, is this really Si Qi?”

“Fat as a pig!”

A group of people gathered around their phones, pointing and commenting recklessly, until a voice suddenly came from the screen, one that could make your bones feel numb, saying something to the staff over there.

Only then did the scene quiet down for a moment, as if everyone was savoring that voice from earlier.

Then they continued to laugh and mock the former idol, who had turned into this state. If those girls from back then saw this, they would probably be utterly disillusioned.

Only Zhou Qi suddenly sat up straight, his eyes sharp as blades piercing into the screen, and quickly said, “Wait, let me hear that last sentence again.”
