Gloomy CEO X Holographic Male God (5): What a peerless male god!!!

In the dead silence of the livestream room, only Si Qi’s voice could still be heard continuing.

“A few days ago, I asked you, if I were really ugly, really unattractive, would you hate me and leave me?” 

“At that time, you said, no matter what I looked like, you would still like me.”

“So, now, will you leave me because of this video? Just because I might not fit into the image you have in your mind.”

The live stream room was eerily quiet.

After a while, someone finally said, “God 7, I’m your technical fan, I support you.”

“Yeah, even though you… are quite different from what I imagined, I will still watch your live streams, probably… it’s just that hearing your voice right now is really out of place.”

“No!! No way!! I can’t accept this!!!”

“Damn, I’m so disgusted. Just thinking about how I couldn’t sleep because of that fat pig’s words makes me sick to my stomach!!!”

“Is this about whether you look good or not? The key point is that you lied!! You lied!!”

Lines of emotionally charged comments flashed before his eyes, and Si Qi’s expression was icy.

His heart ached in waves; it was the emotions left behind by the original owner crying out.

But he denied this emotion, crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and read the soul-piercing words on the screen, saying word by word, “If you like me because of my appearance, sorry, then I don’t welcome you.”

“Ugh!! Who the hell wants to be welcomed by you!!”

Si Qi said seriously, “What do you want to get from me? As a streamer, I (the original owner) do my best to make you happy. I don’t care about your money, nor do I care about so-called fame. I’ve said before, your likes are my motivation to move forward. I say this every year on my birthday…”

“Fake!”

“Who needs your gratitude! Liking you is the biggest embarrassment of my life, just thinking about it makes me sick!!”

“Hey, what you said is too much, right? Just because of a video, you would…”

Inside, Si Qi slowly felt a surge of anger. He felt it was unfair for the original owner. For the first time, during a live broadcast, he spoke to his fans in a tone that was devoid of emotion, even cold and indifferent, saying seriously, “I used to like you very much, very, very much. I treated you as my everything. But now, you are abandoning me just because I don’t look good. If your liking is only to this extent, then leave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fans, as if to retaliate against Si Qi’s words, immediately clicked the unfollow button. The number of followers visibly plummeted, as if the malice of these people had materialized and stabbed into Si Qi’s heart, attacking him.

Si Qi didn’t even blink. Even though the emotions left by the original owner made it hard for him to breathe and his head felt heavy, he stubbornly held on, refusing to utter a single word of compromise.

His teammates, who were in the game, were also watching the livestream. He might be the person closest to Si Qi among all those fans at that moment.

Because he had a close conversation with Si Qi, he was more rational and felt more sympathy for Si Qi than other fans.

He said, “God 7, don’t be too sad. There are still many people who like you.”

“Anyway, I was very happy playing games with you just now. You have fulfilled your responsibilities as a streamer and did it excellently.”

“Maybe some people will feel deceived… but I believe in you, and I will always support you.”

“Sorry, I’m not very good with words… Anyway, good luck, this is sincere.”

“……”

Si Qi sat in front of the screen, the words entering his ears, and the painful heart suddenly felt a bit better. He chuckled softly, speaking to himself silently: “I really wish he could have heard this when he was alive…”

He pressed the R key and said to his teammate, “Sorry for giving you a bad gaming experience, I’ll quit this match.”

The teammate quickly replied, “It’s okay, I understand.”

Si Qi clicked to exit and said to the audience in the livestream, “Everyone, whether you choose to unfollow or stay, feel free. I just have one question for you, what was the reason you liked me all these years?”

After finishing, he didn’t hesitate to close the live stream and the computer, not even looking back at the developments.

Xiu Xiu said with some concern: [Master…]

Si Qi comforted: [It’s fine, it’s just a small matter.]

Xiu Xiu pouted: [But your health condition doesn’t seem very good…]

Si Qi leaned against the sofa, rubbing his temple with his thumb: [I can hold on.]

Xiu Xiu muttered: [Now the Son of the World is so happy, the number of fans has directly increased to two million…] All of them came to eat melons after hearing the news.

Si Qi sneered: [It doesn’t matter how much it increases now, he’ll eventually spit it all out.]

Xiu Xiu was somewhat puzzled: [I thought you would directly turn on the camera just now, making the Child of the World who slandered you feel utterly ashamed!]

[That’s not enough] Si Qi said without hesitation. [The one who killed the original owner isn’t just the Child of the World.]

Xiu Xiu asked in confusion: [Are you saying… is there is also the Chu family?]

In order to combat the top live streamer under Chu Feng’s Company, the Chu family was also secretly fanning the flames to promote the fermentation of public opinion.

[No] Si Qi’s eyes appeared somewhat cold, his deep and pitch-black gaze serious as he said, [The Son of the World and the Chu family are just the inducements. What truly pushed the original owner into the abyss of despair is his pillar of support, the fan he valued the most.]

XiuXiu, realizing it belatedly, responded, [Ah…]

Si Qi: [The original owner did indeed deceive people, so I’m admitting it now. Let’s see what they will choose.]

Si Qi felt that these fans actually didn’t trust the original owner as much as they claimed.

They had liked the original owner for so many years, but just because the original owner might not be good-looking enough, they denied everything about him and scolded him more fiercely than anyone else… No one thought carefully, they had known the original owner for so many years, why would the always gentle and considerate original owner lie, why did he still live like that even though he earned tens of millions a year… Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the original owner’s mental state was not right, but the fans who had always said they liked him could not see it. They only thought that they were betrayed, hated the original owner more than the Son of the World, and kept attacking him, wishing he would die…

Xiu Xiu thought carefully and said with a complex tone, [It seems like that’s really the case…]

If all the problems could be solved just by Si Qi helping the original owner lose weight, then what happened to the original owner’s death?

Did he really die because of his appearance, or was it due to the psychological issues he had accumulated over the years?

What truly led to his death were the people who had always supported him turning their backs and leaving, and the harsh words from fans who criticized and targeted him.

Si Qi never forgot the original owner’s inner struggles.

Xiu Xiu said earnestly, [Xiu Xiu swears, no matter what the master becomes, Xiu Xiu will never leave the master!]

Si Qi smiled, a warm and gentle smile.

[I know.]

Also because of this sentence, the original owner’s emotions left within gradually shifted from collapse to calmness.

It was as if a cursed spirit, bound and tormented, suddenly found liberation at this moment, glimpsing a new life.

Perhaps the original owner really just wanted to gain some recognition, to be liked by others.

Si Qi stood up from the sofa, stretched lazily, and said to Xiu Xiu: [We won’t be live streaming anymore, it’s rare to have a break, let’s go have some fun]

Xiu Xiu chuckled, [Sure~]

Si Qi blinked, [It’s a pity that Chu Feng can’t come along.]

Xiu Xiu said regretfully, [Yeah, the Lord God doesn’t know you yet… and he has a cleanliness obsession…]

Si Qi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Xiu Xiu looked at Si Qi, who seemed calm and indifferent, and suddenly felt an impulse to do something for his master.

He might really be able to do something.

The next day.

Si Qi was wearing a casual, lazy black shirt, walking leisurely through the amusement park.

All around him were girls shyly gazing at him with adoring eyes, and even men couldn’t help but show surprise at his presence, their gazes unconsciously fixed on him.

Si Qi put down the drink in his hand and leaned listlessly against the bench, watching the bustling crowd around him, couples walking hand in hand.

It seemed like everyone had something to do, except for him.

After leaving Chu Feng, how did the time that originally passed in the blink of an eye suddenly become so slow?

He idly passed the time, and while he was contemplating these matters, the distant surveillance captured his current appearance.

Far away in City S, Chu Feng sat in a spotless office, expressionless, reading documents.

Suddenly, a small pop-up appeared on the screen, containing a dynamic video interface.

In the bustling and lively paradise, which had nothing to do with Chu Feng, a man with a cold expression was sitting on a bench, calmly observing everything in front of him.

His back exuded an inexplicable sense of loneliness, as if he were out of place with the whole world, abandoned by the most important person to him.

The moment his gaze met the young man’s face, Chu Feng’s eyelashes unconsciously trembled twice. He should have opened the system interface to trace the source of the video and locate the virus, but for some reason, his gaze kept shifting back to the young man.

It could be seen that this video was a hidden camera recording, and the shooting angles were very unusual. One moment it was a high-definition surveillance from the side of the head, the next it was a phone held by a passerby.

It’s hard to imagine a hacker being able to achieve this level, being able to instantly hack into a phone system, control the phone’s camera, and send the video to him.

What kind of person would attract such a computer expert’s attention?

And why would that expert go through the trouble of filming a video and sending it to me?

Chu Feng became interested in the young man in the video.

While his fingers flew across the keyboard, searching for the virus’s whereabouts, he also observed the young man’s situation.

The young man took a sip of the drink in his hand, as if trying to force himself to feel more energetic. He pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile that was brighter than the sun and clearer than the snow-capped mountains. Amid the awe-struck expressions of the passersby, he made his way to the moon boat and found a seat.

The swaying boat glided through the air, and the young man raised his hands and cheered, as if trying to make himself appear happier.

But really, coming to an amusement park alone, this behavior itself was a sign of loneliness, wasn’t it?

The young man didn’t hold out for long and soon gave up this self-deceptive act. After getting off the moon boat, he calmly walked through the haunted house, his emotionless reaction almost making the diligent staff inside doubt their professional skills. He eventually left the place with a blank expression.

After leaving the amusement park, he took a bus to the commercial street, picking out clothes and accessories under the watchful eyes of men and women around him.

His taste was impeccable; the clothes he chose always gave people a refreshing feeling when he wore them.

His physique was also quite impressive. The hacker hacked into the other person’s phone camera, and Chu Feng had to awkwardly divert his gaze from the dressing room footage. However, the images he had just seen flashed unconsciously in his mind: the cool, fair skin, the smooth and beautiful curves, exuding a palpable allure of hormones.

He casually walked through the bustling mall, and the crowded people always unconsciously parted to create a path for him. He was the center of attention, the focus of countless phone cameras. Along the way, he didn’t know how many people secretly took pictures of him, but his expression grew colder and colder, showing no sign of happiness at all.

The more Chu Feng looked, the more he couldn’t contain himself. His programming skills were excellent, allowing him to do many things that others couldn’t. At that moment, he even had the thought of using underhanded means to obtain the young man’s information.

After hesitating for a long time, he ultimately held back.

It was impolite.

If possible, he would prefer to meet in person…

No, what was he thinking?

Realizing how incredibly absurd his thoughts were just now, Chu Feng was completely stunned.

He clearly hated physical contact with others the most; just being touched by someone would make him feel suffocated.

But why did he seem a bit different the first time he saw the young man?

Chu Feng pressed his lips together, his expression slightly restrained, his fingertips lightly and swiftly tapping the keyboard, searching for the source of the strange video that had suddenly appeared.

After searching for about ten minutes, he still found no clues. Suddenly, a document opened, displaying a line of text:

[=w=, are you looking for me?]

Chu Feng looked at the document: “……”

His fingertips rested on the keyboard, as if contemplating what to say.

[You can speak directly, it’s okay, Xiu Xiu can hear you~~]

Chu Feng’s reaction was very calm as he said to the screen, “Who are you? What is your purpose?”

Xiu Xiu: [Who is Xiu Xiu? You’ll find out soon~~ Explaining now will only make you more confused~~]

Xiu Xiu: [No purpose at all, Xiu Xiu is a good child~~ You should praise Xiu Xiu more in the future~~~]

Chu Feng: “…………”

Chu Feng: “Your habit of speaking is a bit disgusting.”

Xiu Xiu: [???????]

Xiu Xiu: [Wuwuwuwuwu!!!]

On the screen, a small golden dragon was crying loudly in a GIF, Xiu Xiu: [Xiu Xiu is going to tell the master on you, wuwuwuwuwu!!!]

Chu Feng: “…… Who is your master?”

In this day and age, there were still people who use such titles. Were they not just delusional?

Xiu Xiu: [Wuwu, Xiu Xiu didn’t hear, Xiu Xiu got so angry that they ran away]

Chu Feng: “……”

Xiu Xiu turned to Si Qi, who was shopping, and said, [Master, the Lord God of this world is really fierce.]

Si Qi raised an eyebrow, and his previously dull mood instantly brightened up, [What did he do]

Xiu Xiu said pitifully, [He said Xiu Xiu’s tone of voice is very disgusting…]

Si Qi thought for a moment and said, [Isn’t it very cute?]

Xiu Xiu, with teary eyes, said: [Xiu Xiu knew that the master liked Xiu Xiu the most!! The master is the best!!]

Si Qi comforted: [Chu Feng doesn’t have much social interaction in this world, so it’s normal for him to be a bit reclusive.]

Xiu Xiu hummed and said: [Since the master said so, then Xiu Xiu won’t be angry~~]

Si Qi: [So, how did you manage to talk to him?]

Xiu Xiu snapped back to reality and gasped.

He still wanted to secretly play matchmaker and later present it as a surprise for Si Qi!

Xiu Xiu sighed dramatically, [Xiu Xiu is really so foolish!]

Si Qi was both amused and exasperated.

Xiu Xiu hadn’t told Si Qi about her matchmaking, only saying mysteriously, [Master will know in the future~~]

Si Qi was quite looking forward to the surprise the little one had prepared for him, shrugging and saying, [Alright.]

He didn’t dig any deeper. So, he spent two days out having fun, and Chu Feng was “forced” to watch Si Qi’s unconventional travel livestream for two days.

Probably because he had nothing left to say in response to Chu Feng’s cold sarcasm, no matter how Chu Feng searched for Xiu Xiu’s whereabouts afterward, Xiu Xiu did not respond.

By the third day, the day when the holographic game made its first public appearance.

This was destined to be a day that would go down in history. Chu Feng’s company went all out with promotions and advertisements, making sure that everyone’s attention was focused on their new product.

Almost all the well-known streamers under the company were invited to the event, and they also brought in some celebrity big shots and internet influencers from various fields.

This scene could be described as a rare feast that happens once in several years.

And such a grand occasion simply could not be missed without a live broadcast.

Zhou Qi, along with his close friends from the live streaming circle, arrived at the venue entrance.

Looking at the exaggeratedly thick red carpet ahead, the massive chandelier at the reception, and the ultra-spacious ceiling that is seven or eight meters high, the visual impact was overwhelming, making even their own presence feel insignificant.

Seeing this kind of place in a video and actually being there in person feels completely different. The streamer swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably guilty.

He arrived in a luxury sports car worth millions, but once he got to this glamorous place, he realized that being a coward is still being a coward.

“It feels like I don’t belong here…”

The streamer had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary demeanor. Besides being able to talk and play games, he was just an ordinary person who stayed at home all day.

Coming to such a glamorous occasion, he really felt a bit out of place. Especially when he saw a few exceptionally elegant big stars walking not far away, he felt even more like an ugly duckling that had wandered into a swan’s flock. He quickly pulled Zhou Qi away from there, jogged into the elevator, and then went up to the third floor of the main venue.

Zhou Qi laughed and said, “Is it really that bad?”

The streamer said awkwardly, “Isn’t this a bit hard to get used to?”

With Zhou Qi’s original number of fans and level of attention, he originally didn’t qualify to act alongside such a big streamer.

However, not long ago, Zhou Qi managed to take down the number one streamer in the industry, 47, and instantly became a rising star in the circle. Plus, he himself was quite adept at socializing, quickly taking the opportunity to meet many big names in the streaming world and mingling with them.

So, with the secret help of the Chu family, they obtained this crucial invitation.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a group of well-dressed men and women inside.

It was as if different colors of fuel had been poured together; here, the most dazzling people could be seen at a glance. The women were slender and exuded exceptional grace, while the men were tall, handsome, and charismatic—all of them big-name stars who could be recognized by name.

Then there were a group of influencers who had slightly less impressive qualifications, perhaps a bit shorter or with slightly less charisma, but they always had some standout features in terms of looks or voice.

And then there was a group of streamers like the one next to Zhou Qi, who were either fat or thin, but overall just look quite ordinary.

…Originally, most game streamers were like this.

Three distinct groups of people stood in the same hall, and Zhou Qi’s gaze swept over the crowd, quickly spotting the screen not far away.

The screen displayed the scene in the hall, showing the number of people watching the live broadcast—over twenty million—and the enthusiastic comments from the audience.

Zhou Qi took a careful look at the area where the hosts were standing, and sure enough, he didn’t see the 47 people he had dealt with a couple of days ago.

Clearly, that guy didn’t have the face to show up, right? Looking that ugly and still daring to make an appearance, does he wanted to be the most hated person in town?

Zhou Qi laughed happily.

If he hadn’t taken down 47, he probably wouldn’t have qualified to participate in this internal test either. Indeed, the decision at that time was correct; he should have done it this way.

The host walking through the crowd was being followed by a photographer, interviewing several heavyweight figures who had come to the event. When passing by Zhou Qi, the host, due to Zhou Qi’s recent high profile, even took the time to have a few words with him.

In such situations, even just a few words are enough to give Zhou Qi great exposure.

“Previously, you were pressured by 47 to the point where everyone wanted to beat you up. Do you regret it?”

Zhou Qi’s reaction was calm and composed, smiling as he answered the host’s question: “No regrets. I believe that justice will prevail in people’s hearts. In fact, the fact that I can stand here shows that everyone actually has a sense of fairness. Thank you all for your support.”

Host: “And thank you for revealing the truth to us, otherwise—”

The host’s voice suddenly stopped halfway. Not just him, but everyone present near the door also abruptly fell silent, their eyes all fixed on the back of Zhou Qi.

That expression was as if they had seen a breathtakingly stunning treasure, filled with indescribable shock.

There was even a moment of silence at the scene.

Zhou Qi instinctively turned around.

The camera that was originally focused on him naturally shifted to the open door behind him.

A young man with jet-black short hair casually walked into the venue, as if a prince strolling through his own garden, his expression calm, relaxed, and noble.

His eyes were captivating, and as his gaze flickered, it seemed capable of stealing one’s soul. The corners of his lips held a half-smile, and his face alone could make one’s heart race, hard to resist.

He wore a pure black casual suit, with a few buttons on the top left casually undone, revealing a pair of straight collarbones, elegant yet slightly seductive, his entire being exuding an irresistible allure.

Long, straight legs moved at a leisurely pace, exuding a naturally cold and arrogant aura that made those in front of him instinctively step aside.

Click, clack. In the hall where everyone had subconsciously stopped making noise, the crisp sound of his shoes hitting the marble floor was very pronounced, as if declaring his arrival to everyone.

With a natural yet commanding demeanor, he entered the sight of everyone present, capturing their full attention.

On the screen beside the venue, the number of viewers in the live stream and the barrage of comments suddenly exploded, filled with screams and exclamation marks.

As if sensing the fans’ frenzied enthusiasm, the host quickly raised the microphone, pushed aside Zhou Qi who was blocking the way, and approached Si Qi.

Under the gaze of those pitch-black eyes, the host’s heart raced, and their mind went blank, almost forgetting how to speak.

And Zhou Qi, who was pushed away by her, looked at her with a bewildered gaze and exclaimed incredulously, “Si, Si Qi—?!!”

The voice was not small, and many sharp-eared spectators directly heard this low shout, their emotions instantly exploding with disbelief.

When Si Qi heard someone calling his name, he raised an eyebrow slightly and lazily glanced over.

That expression and posture were as if he were an arrogant noble, carefree and unrestrained, causing everyone present and the viewers behind the screen to gasp in shock, covering their mouths and letting out suppressed yet frenzied cries!

Oh my god—!!

This person was too handsome!!

Under the gaze of thousands, the camera focused on Si Qi. Si Qi, unfazed, said, “I am Si Qi, what’s the matter?”

I am Si Qi…

Si Qi…

Si Qi???

He said he was Si Qi!!

The scene was completely silent for several seconds, and then it instantly erupted!!
