"Into the Starry Sky" live stream began as usual, and the screen started playing videos related to Bai Luan.
Jimmy spoke at the appropriate time, acting as the narrator.
"Regardless of whether your world has a concept of day and night, I wish you a good morning, noon, and night. I am your good friend, Jimmy.
Welcome to this episode of "Into the Starry Sky." The protagonist of this episode, I believe, is someone we are all familiar with.
Ms. Herta's assistant, the builder of Herta Space Station and former acting Station Master, #85 of the Genius Society, game designer BL, Songblight, and the master of shenanigans, Yi Mu, phew..."
Jimmy finished saying all that in one breath and let out a long sigh of relief. He almost couldn't catch his breath.
"I know you might say that there isn't enough room for so many people here, but in reality, all these identities belong to one person. He is the guest of this episode—Bai Luan."
The scene shifted to the live stream, with the "Into the Starry Sky" logo popping up as the background.
However, the seat where the guest was supposed to be was empty.
As Jimmy finished the narration, an Anywhere Door suddenly appeared in front of the sofa. The next second, the Anywhere Door opened, and Bai Luan walked out.
He first calmly closed the Anywhere Door, then looked at the camera:
"Good morning, everyone~"
As he greeted the audience, the Anywhere Door behind him gradually disappeared. After the simple greeting, Bai Luan sat back on the sofa.
"As expected of a genius, even his entrance is unique."
"It's just a little (tone suddenly excited) ma↑gic↓ tri↑ck↓ (tone suddenly calm) that's al."
Bai Luan's controlled delivery almost made Jimmy lose his composure.
Fortunately, he had undergone professional training and wouldn't laugh.
"This time, it is a great, great, great honor to invite Mr. Bai Luan for this interview.
I believe the audience in the live stream didn't expect you to be our guest this time.
Even I didn't expect you to agree to this interview, especially since this invitation was purely my personal invitation."
"Hey, if it wasn't Mr. Jimmy's personal invitation, I wouldn't have come."
"Oh my, I'm so touched."
"After all, Mr. Jimmy and I have collaborated once before."
Bai Luan looked at Jimmy and asked:
"So, can you do that again?"
Jimmy first looked at Bai Luan with some confusion, then quickly reacted.
"Oh, oh, you mean that? No problem, ahem..."
Jimmy cleared his throat, gathered his emotions, then spread his wings:
"Good morning! Night City! Yesterday's death lottery, the final result was a full thirty!"
After Jimmy said that, Bai Luan looked satisfied. It felt right, at least the voice felt right.
"Don't you people connect the character with the voice actor.JPG"
If he hadn't had an accident in his previous life and had lived until 2077, he would definitely have said something like that.
After Jimmy said that, he also started talking about related topics.
"We all know that Mr. Bai Luan is involved in a very wide range of fields, from game design to cooking and scientific invention, almost omnipotent."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Bai Luan waved his hand at the remark.
"I just know a little about everything."
"Hahaha... You're so humble..."
Jimmy smiled at the remark.
What a genius calls 'knowing a little' should just be taken with a grain of salt.
"I believe everyone in the live stream, like me, is curious: how can you continuously produce excellent works in various fields?"
"Oh, actually, all these works are things I 'stole' from another world. The authors of these games are not me at all; I just 'moved' them over."
Jimmy stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then rephrased Bai Luan's words.
"You mean, you fantasized about a world, and then brought the works from that world over?"
"..."
Bai Luan himself didn't expect it to be interpreted that way.
However, no matter how he explained this matter, it wouldn't be clear, so he might as well just find a random excuse to get by.
"Mr. Jimmy has a very unique way of thinking. Perhaps Mr. Jimmy also has the potential to become a genius."
"Eh!? Really?"
"Yes, not just Mr. Jimmy, but everyone in front of the screen..."
Bai Luan suddenly turned his gaze to the camera and said seriously:
"You can do it too."
"Mr. Bai Luan is still so good at encouraging others... I just seriously considered it, and becoming a genius is still too impossible. It's most important to do the work at hand first.
Let's continue the interview. What is the most regrettable thing Mr. Bai Luan has ever done?"
"Most regrettable thing?"
Bai Luan thought carefully for a moment, then replied:
"I think it should be accidentally being glanced at by Nous."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"How is it good?! Mr. Jimmy, do you know how much my workload and work difficulty increased after I was glanced at?! (sad)."
As soon as this sentence came out, Jimmy's expression towards Bai Luan immediately showed some empathy.
As a hard-working Jimmy, he understood the feeling of working too well.
"At least when it comes to overtime, I understand you, I understand you too well."
A bad feeling suddenly surfaced in Jimmy's heart. He felt that if he continued talking, his job would be in jeopardy, so he changed the subject.
"Speaking of being glanced at and becoming a genius... Professor Ratio of the First University of Truth has always aimed to become a genius not long ago. I also heard that Mr. Bai Luan was a student of Professor Ratio. Can you tell us about your relationship with Professor Ratio?"
"Professor Ratio is great, no need to say more.
I genuinely believe that Doctor Truth, Veritas Ratio, possesses unparalleled wisdom.
I also believe that there are many things about the Professor that are worth remembering, but not becoming a genius is the least memorable aspect of him.
If you really care about this, then remember, although he is not a genius, he taught a genius, and this is just one of his life achievements."
"What a deeply moving answer. Mr. Bai Luan has always been enthusiastic about helping others. Is it also because he was influenced by Professor Ratio's philosophy that he chose to do so?"
Bai Luan thought for a moment, then answered seriously:
"Professor Ratio's philosophy did influence me to some extent, but the most fundamental reason was my experiences in my hometown."
"Then, Mr. Bai Luan, could you share with us about your hometown?"
"Of course."
Although he agreed verbally, Bai Luan couldn't possibly say that he was a transmigrator brought here by a system.
He smiled, then, without changing his expression or blushing, he spoke nonsense with a straight face:
"My hometown is in a place called the M78 Nebula. The people in my hometown have very high moral standards.
In my hometown, there is also a special honor: as long as you love life and cherish life, you will be awarded the title of 'Giant of Light.'"
"What in the world are you talking about?"
Jimmy listened intently to Bai Luan's nonsense. Even though he had never heard of any M78 Nebula, he didn't doubt the truthfulness of Bai Luan's words.
Because in his opinion, there was no need for Bai Luan to lie. If Bai Luan didn't want to say, he could directly refuse to answer, and no one would dare to say anything more.
Secondly, the universe is so vast that it's normal to have one or two place names he hadn't heard of.
"Has Mr. Bai Luan received the title of 'Giant of Light'?"
"Unfortunately, I haven't, but if I ever had the chance to receive it, I think I would be very honored."
"Even Mr. Bai Luan hasn't received this title? Your hometown's selection criteria are truly strict. I must visit it if I get the chance."
"Unfortunately, my hometown is not open to outsiders, otherwise I would take you to touch the Plasma Spark Tower."
"Plasma... Spark Tower? What is that?"
"Something beneficial to the body when touched, with a certain chance of triggering species evolution."
Jimmy had an expression of 'I don't understand but I am greatly shocked.'
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai Luan to be so hospitable, even thinking of taking me to his hometown to play. I am truly touched."
Bai Luan decided to end this topic.
Because he was about to lose his composure.
If he continued, the corners of his mouth would start twitching.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai Luan, for introducing us to your hometown. Let's move on to the next question.
In your videos, especially under the Yi Mu account, there are often meaningless sounds like 'Hachimi,' 'yah ho yi gei wo li giao,' and 'inspiration guli guli wa cha inspiration gu.' Even the Synesthesia Beacon cannot translate them. Could you tell us what they mean?"
Jimmy's professionalism was very high.
So when he uttered these strange sounds, he wasn't just reading them flatly; he perfectly reproduced the tone from Yi Mu's videos with emotion.
Bai Luan didn't know how many people were watching this live stream now, but he knew that under his influence, there would definitely be many viewers.
So, every time Jimmy made a strange sound, the corners of his mouth would turn up slightly. Every time he made one, they would turn up slightly.
Now Bai Luan was holding it in like a strongman.
No, Jimmy, I'm really begging you!
Don't make strange noises in front of so many people anymore!
『Begging also has to queue up』
Why are you making a pun now?
『Speaking of Jimmy making strange noises, does that count as a real Hachimi?』
Bai Luan finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
After laughing, he felt relieved.
Now, no matter what they invited him for, it was useless...
