[Shocking! Lumina has a younger sister!]
[Shocking! The Astral Express's next stop isn't Penacony! It's her Homeland!]
"Does the news industry only have the Shocking tag, using this one sensationalized style?!"
Lumina had barely ended her live stream when everything she had done during the broadcast immediately went viral on Trending Topics.
Looking at the diverse ways these trending topics were reported, Lumina's lips twitched involuntarily.
If her memory served her right, hadn't all previous reports been in this clickbait style?
Had the world been completely overrun by the Clickbait Department?
Lumina shook her head, dismissing the thought. "Clickbait Department, whatever. As long as the content isn't too outrageous..."
With a slight tap of her finger, she opened the top trending topic—the most popular one. Her gaze settled on the screen as she began to read intently.
[Lumina Voice Actress Lumina's Live Stream: Full Text Narrative]
The headline seemed fairly straightforward, but Lumina couldn't help but wonder why the trending topic was so... unhinged.
[Here's what happened: At exactly 8 PM tonight, the voice actress for Lumina in the game Honkai: Star Rail began her debut live stream on the Bilibili platform.]
[According to reliable sources, due to the overwhelming popularity of the character Lumina both in-game and out, the voice actress's live stream reached peak viewership within just ten minutes.]
[But, as the saying goes, with fame comes trouble. You're bound to encounter some oddballs. In Lumina's live stream, for example, there were plenty of perverts.]
[These perverts' depravity was truly eye-opening, including but not limited to requests for being stepped on, hit, scolded, punished, and more... Here, we must remind everyone that even on the internet, we should maintain decency and respect.]
[I neither understand nor can fathom why young people of this new era would say such things.]
"Not bad, not bad. Seems like a proper news report. No wonder it's trending at number one." Lumina nodded approvingly as she read this much, before continuing. Even though perverts are common, you don't encounter them just anywhere.
Formal news like this greatly pleased Lumina, ensuring she could score a perfect 10!
However, the following paragraphs instantly made her burst into laughter. Her initial perfect 10-point score plummeted to 0...
[Why go to such lengths, pouring your heart out in a live stream, when all it takes is to be Miss Lumina's dog to obtain everything you desire?]
[By speaking like this, what will other chefs think of us Lumina simps? Those who don't know might assume we're all perverts!]
[Ah! What will people think?! Here, I must solemnly clarify on behalf of all Lumina simps: we are not perverts!!]
[We are super-duper ultra-perverts! Because Lady Lumina is simply too magnificent!]
[Ah! Let us pause here for a few moments and silently pray for the birth of Lady Lumina!]
[I'm Lady Lumina's dog, woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!!!]
"Wait, are these people insane...?"
The beginning seemed normal enough, but the further Lumina read, the more unsettling it became...
And that parenthetical disclaimer at the end—is that really something a staff member should post? Aren't they afraid people will actually scroll away?!
Why did such a self-indulgent, insane post top the Trending Topics? Lumina silently scoffed in her mind.
[Because this system is the greatest~ Wahoo!]
Seeing this, the System eagerly jumped in to pat itself on the back.
Lumina: ...
Ignoring the System, Lumina's gaze returned to the post. Though there was still a lengthy passage remaining, she couldn't be bothered to read further. The beginning alone had already given her a clear idea of what the rest would contain.
Probably just more insane fanfiction...
"Sigh... Why are there so many perverts..." Lumina sighed, rubbing her temples in exasperation.
I'm not even a pervert! My image from the players' perspective should be flawless—gentle, kind, holy, embodying all the world's virtues, the perfect and immaculate Saintess.
Logically speaking, the Saintess's followers should be utterly sincere, devout, and loyal, too reverent to even entertain impure thoughts...
Why are all these people in the real world such perverts? If a high-quality doujin of her were to hit the market, she'd probably be harvesting the "hot-blooded" fervor of countless adolescent boys every night...
Oh, and among that "hot-blooded" fervor, there might even be some beautiful girls too...
Lumina couldn't comprehend, or even attempt to comprehend, why her chat had suddenly transformed into such a perverted state.
Shaking her head, she swiped her finger down the screen to the comments section and began skimming through them.
[ I'm Miss Lumina's Dog!: Too much text, skipping it. Automatically extracting keywords... *Beep, beep, beep...* Keywords extracted: I'm Miss Lumina's Dog!!! ] (20,000 likes, 31,000 comments)
[I'm Miss Lumina's Dog!]
[I'm Miss Lumina's Dog!]
[I'm Miss Lumina's Dog!]
Lumina: ?
Lumina slowly typed out a large question mark, then posted a reply beneath the comment:
Lumina: I'm Miss Lumina's dog!
After sending the comment, Lumina silently reported the OP's post.
You think you can be Lumina's dog? Only I, Lumina herself, am worthy to be Lumina's dog!
With a cold snort, Lumina continued scrolling down, browsing through other comments.
[miHoYo, Lumina, hurry up and become a gacha character!: Hehehehe, Lumina, heheheԅ(♡『♡ԅ), and Lumina's younger sister, Nahida, heheheԅ(♡『♡ԅ)! I'm not a pervert or a bad person, just come to my arms! miHoYo, hurry up and put Lumina and Nahida in the gacha! Please, don't make me kneel and beg!]
[So pathetic? A man's knees are worth gold! It's just a character, are you really going to kneel and waste gold for her? I'm fucking ashamed for your parents! What? It's Lumina? Never mind then... miHoYo! I'll give you gold! Please, just put Lumina in the gacha!]
[It's not about being pathetic, it's just... the Saintess is too beautiful! I'll lick, I'll lick, I'll lick-lick-lick! I'll lick like crazy! Uh... shit, my phone's gotten wet...]
[Laughing my ass off! This whole thread is full of Loser Group members, isn't it? Fine, I'll fire the first shot of the rebellion! @miHoYo, release Lumina, or I'll blow up your company! What? You're saying if I blow it up, you won't release Lumina? Right... Right, sorry. I'll get on my knees and beg you, Lumina must be released! (ಥ_ಥ)]
[Loser Group, you're on a winning streak! The entire thread is just the Loser Group, completely invincible!!!]
"When Lumina becomes a gacha character isn't up to miHoYo," Lumina muttered, shaking her head as she scrolled through the thread filled with Loser Group members.
When Lumina becomes a gacha character has absolutely nothing to do with miHoYo... If you're going to beg, you should be begging me, right?
However, Lumina refrained from pointing this out to them. She doubted they would believe her even if she told them the truth.
If I actually said that, they'd probably start begging me in all sorts of perverted ways, just like they did during the live stream...
Sigh... Lumina sighed inwardly again. It seemed her fans' antics were truly giving her a headache.
Though their behavior was undeniably perverse, it was also a testament to their extreme devotion to Lumina, showing just how deeply they loved her. Normally, if they went crazy, they went crazy; it had nothing to do with her anyway.
However, virtually every flaw attributed to a character stemmed from the "contributions" of these extreme simps. After all, haters can always find something to criticize.
If some crazy, perverted Lumina simps caused her reputation to plummet, Lumina would have nowhere to cry. ┭┮_┭┮
[Isn't it simple? If you have no haters, no one will criticize you.]
The System offered a perfect solution to Lumina's worries.
"That makes perfect sense," Lumina nodded, her voice softening. "In that case, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
"Delete every single comment that insults or criticizes me!"
"And if I ever stumble upon even one such comment while browsing the forums, you're finished, got it?"
[...]
Though Lumina's tone remained gentle, the threat was crystal clear.
[Alright...]
Faced with Lumina's ultimatum, what choice did the System have? Naturally, it would dote on her!
