My portable gaming girlfriend

She fell into the soft mud, Lin Xiaohe overtook her and became the first winner to reach the finish line.

All the cameras were aimed at Lin Xiaohe. During the broadcast, she first had an expression of disbelief, and after asking the NPC three times to confirm that she was the first, her face turned into joy. Was it because the surprise revealed in those eyes was too real?

I suddenly had a creepy feeling.

"Damn, hate, hate! Why?!"

Feifei, who unfortunately lost, returned to the beach. Compared with the popular idol Lin Xiaohe who was the champion, surrounded by groups, and the runner-up and rookie idol who kicked the sand angrily in front of us, no one cared. This is really a reality.

"Skills are inferior to people."

"That's not it, the last, the last one... the one who can jump over it... woohoo...!"

Started crying unexpectedly, she still really cares about winning or losing.

"Okay, okay, it's a little bit close, we can pass it next time. Maybe the organizer cheated."

It's rare for her to be sad like this, so I'd better comfort her.

Shen Qing sneered.

"Do you think it is possible to cheat on a show that is watched by tens of millions of people?"

"What? Thousands of people?!"

I looked at the number of viewers. Many people watched this program before, but I didn't expect that there would be tens of millions of people.

"Are you completely addicted to the game and don't care about anything? This is a popular show in the world, and it is very normal for the number of viewers to reach tens of millions."

I actually showed my face in front of tens of millions of viewers? If my parents see it, they will definitely spread the show and the video of me among relatives.

"Woooooo...but...forget it, I will be number one next time!"

In the blink of an eye, there was another scene. Hurry up and look at the live broadcast, Lin Xiaohe is wiping her wet hair with a towel, her face facing the camera is still so pure and lovely.

Is Lin Xiaohe's performance an acting skill? If it's an idol competition like her... Feifei has no chance of winning.

The programmer's news attracted everyone's attention. He told us in the news that Monica Inoue was not in this harbor.

"It took so long to get the result, is it reliable or not?"

I asked Shen Qing in a low voice, and she glanced at me.

"Don't you trust the programmer? He improved his search program. Also, if you said this in front of the programmer, he might throw you into the 'door' and lock you up for 7 or 8 days."

Wait, if I'm really locked up in a dark room for 7 or 8 days, and then maliciously adjust the virtual-real time ratio so that the time outside the game doesn't pass by more than 1 day, I will definitely have a nervous breakdown! I remember that there are several holographic movies about this plot... shuddering.

"Huh? Programmer? Why do I think...he is an upright and kind old man? He can't be so cruel!"

Lin Feifei trusts the programmer... I don't know if the old man is upright, but I don't think he has anything to do with Cixiang.

I want to ask Yugiri to go to the next area together. The sea breeze blew her hair, and the eye-catching bright red stretched randomly towards the sky.

I thought she was looking at the coastline, but when I walked around to her, I realized that she was actually watching the lively performance area.

"Let's go, let's go to the garden area."

"Um."

Xiwu turned around, brushed her hair up, and boarded the taxi called by Shen Qing together with us.

garden area.

The area is a mix of quaint and modern buildings, and there are many parks and walking paths, which are good places for idol videos and performances.

Obviously we came to find the escaped JK idol, but we unexpectedly encountered another pale gold male virtual idol performing.

"Hey...it's Allen!"

"Who is that?" I asked Feifei.

"The idol who just entered the 9th place in the popularity list this month."

"Popularity list... the guy who can enter the popularity list, shouldn't he go to Tianjie District?"

The street was originally a location for free performances, and the most popular idols here can be said to be private visits in micro-services. Even if they occupy the best performance seats in this garden, they are not as good as those studios in Tianjie District, which is considered to be a discount.

"Isn't it just to maintain the 'down-to-earth' and 'people-friendly' personality, fans will have reason to brag about this idol's 'not forgetting the original intention', and take the opportunity to attract a wave of popularity. Can you use your brain before you speak next time, don't ask The answer to such a simple question."

Shen Qing turned on the mocking mode towards me as usual. I thought she was always venomous, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Not to mention the boss and programmers, she is kind to Ye Yin, Yugiri, and even Sakura... only talking to me is always venomous.

"...You know it very well."

"Heh, these methods have been popular for decades. It's not that I want to take the initiative to pay attention to these. It's not that there is a hypocritical guy who brags to everyone around every family gathering..."

At this moment, there was a frenzy of fans from Allen's side.

"what's the situation?"

Feifei, who has been looking over there, replied to me——

"Someone came on stage to sing together, and it was a man again."

"Man, I'm not interested..."

"Oh? That's it."

Before I finished speaking, Shen Qing recognized the man on stage at a glance.

It was a man with silver hair.

I asked Shen Qing who it was.

"This is the male virtual idol that Lege has recently promoted, and the company is firing his CP."

"Fried... CP?"

It's all because I don't understand these terms at all, and Shen Qing doesn't look like a star chaser, who knows where she knows these things.

"But, won't this reduce popularity? If the paper-made girl I like has a boyfriend, I definitely can't stand it."

"Who said it was with a woman, can't you see the object of his CP?"

"You mean both of them?"

I watched the two male virtual idols singing and dancing on the stage, and I just couldn't understand it. Shen Qing sighed——

"It's just a show together, everything depends on the fans' brains. The official will not clarify now. The more popular the fans discuss and read, the happier they will be. Just wait until the popularity rises and then give them back... In fact, the efficiency of same-sex CP speculation is very high. .But Lege has done this kind of thing a few times before, but if it is too frequent, it will cause resentment."

"Wow, so complicated!"

Feifei was amazed.

"If you want to be popular, Feifei, you can also find a male or female idol, think about it."

"I don't want it!" Started shaking her head desperately.

It turns out that the heat is so important? What is male male CP? I've never paid attention to these things, it's better to score in the arena if I have this time.

In fact, Xiwu has been doing team player 1V1 training for the past few days, and my strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. I finally reached 587 in the solo queue this season.

Now I am not incapable of fighting against Xiwu, and I can even win occasionally with the help of the right time and place. I believe that as long as I play a few more games, I will definitely be able to enter the top 500 this month.

[Programmer: The garden area is too large, and my detection coverage is limited. The shortest route is drawn on your map, follow it. 】

The programmer is still the same, talking straight to the point and ordering others without politeness.

However, there is no way around this. There are many venues for performances in the garden area, but they are sparsely distributed, resulting in the entire garden area being larger than the harbor area and the underground street combined.

"Even if it is the simplest route for programmers, it takes a few hours to walk?"

"It takes 3-4 hours to walk at our average pace. It takes 6-7 hours to walk at our pace in the underground district. If we walk at the speed of the dock area, it takes 9-10 hours."

I believe in Yugiri's computing power. In other words, we stopped and stopped in the underground block and the dock area, and we walked slower than usual.

"Who says we have to walk?"

Shen Qing pointedly looked at the colorful objects beside the road outside the garden.

"Is this the legendary bicycle?"

"Yes, human-powered."

Human-powered bicycles, a very popular means of transportation 40 years ago, are driven by legs, cheap and environmentally friendly, and are loved by all kinds of people, especially shared bicycles.

Later, vehicles that charge everywhere and automatically plan routes became popular, which achieved labor-saving speed and are more environmentally friendly than previous cars. Riding a human-powered bicycle has gradually become a retro sport.

"We... there shouldn't be anyone who can't ride a bicycle, right?"

Ye Yin and I looked at each other, and we looked at Xiwu together. Even if there is no need for cars in reality, I have more or less been exposed to games after playing for so many years.

It's hard to say about Xiwu... After all, I know that the only games she has played are Snow Eagle and Chaos Arena.

"I haven't touched this thing, it looks... similar to a snowmobile."

She probably thought of the common riding equipment snowmobile in "Snow Eagle".

"It's not the same, the bike will tip over..."

Unless it is in a heavy snowstorm or hits a hidden stone under the snow, it will not be easily turned over with the snowmobile's track and sled support and its own weight.

"It doesn't matter if you flip over, anyway, players won't get hurt in this game. The only thing you need to worry about is that your stupid appearance when you fall is accidentally recorded on the screen by other idols who are filming or live broadcasting."

Although Shen Qing's words seem to be comforting, I don't want to see Xiwu fall down in embarrassment.

"Ride like this, keep your balance..."

I got on a bike to demonstrate for her. But after all, Xiwu has a super learning ability, and she doesn't need to spend time practicing, and she can learn to ride a bicycle in one go.

We rode our bicycles along the roads in the Garden District, like middle school students rushing to school in the early 21st century in a holographic film.

According to the route formulated by the programmer, this journey first needs to be ridden half a circle counterclockwise along the garden area.

During this period, I visited the garden area by the way. This area is divided into several communities with completely different styles, such as Fengzhu Garden, Green Avenue, Tranquil Villa and so on. In order to ensure a unified look and feel, no building in the garden area has more than 5 floors.

In addition to the courtyard villa, many temples, churches and a central pedestrian commercial block have also been established here. These locations are very popular with players as backdrops for shows.

The most indispensable thing on the streets of Guiyue City is young and beautiful men and women. Regardless of whether they are smiling or arrogant, they are actually puppets carefully designed by players. They are the dreams of idols and the hope of making money.

Of course not all idols are beautiful in appearance. Some virtual idols who deliberately pretend to be ugly and perform exaggerated performances also unexpectedly gained millions of popularity.

Shen Qing has already shown us the profile of Monica. She has long black hair with colored highlights in front, and is wearing a female high school uniform. This outfit cannot be said to be very special. It is difficult to be noticed in this city. distinguish.

Anyway, I have seen no less than ten JK virtual idols in 5 minutes of cycling.

"Ayuan, what's the difference between the idols here and the underground idols? They don't have the temperament of Miss Pink."

The "Miss Pink" that Sakura mentioned is the "Red Queen" who once met in "Legend of Mountains and Seas". He is arrogant and domineering, and also works as an underground idol, and has an unclear relationship with the unknown.

"The idols we have seen here are not human beings, nor are they your kind. They are artificial intelligence arranged by their masters. From a business perspective, this game itself is a platform for idol performances. The game provides them with Opportunities to show themselves to the outside world. Underground idols just rely on themselves to fight for performance opportunities and accumulate fame in the virtual world.”

Sakura was silent for a moment...

"...Can I come to be an idol too? Ah Yuan helps me arrange actions..."

"Yes, yes, because your current identity happens to be an artificial intelligence partner. I can register you as an idol for only 200 yuan, but..."

"What's wrong?"

Sakura is so eager to try, I can't tell her that I don't know anything about idol management, let alone I never pay attention to virtual idols.

"It's too dangerous for you to be an idol outside alone, you can't leave the base now."

"Oh...then I'll just perform for Ah Yuan~"

Anorv has always been eyeing Sakura, Sakura registered as an idol and had to leave the base to live, so it was easy to be positioned. I can't take that risk.

"...Being an idol requires not only appearance, but also strength. If you don't have strength, start with training. Singing and dancing rap are essential!"

"Feifei, are you teaching some kind of idol class?"

Feifei stood in front of Xiwu, with one hand on her waist and the other gesticulating in the air, her eloquence was like a big hand who pointed out the country.

"She wants to know what idols are doing. I know, anyway, you must not understand. The only one who can answer this question is me, who is about to become a popular idol~ Don't thank me too much!"

"Being an idol may be an effective way to experience feelings."

Yugiri explained solemnly.

"You want to be an idol? It's okay..."

I think Xiwu's appearance is completely qualified, but she has no expression, and can only take the three-no route. I don't know if such attributes are still popular now.

"Ahem, learn to be an idol with me, I promise you will be as popular as me!"

With a popularity of 170,000, Feifei is still confident in her idol career.

"So, shall I worship you as my teacher?"

Xiwu actually seriously wants to be an idol? And you plan to worship Feifei as your teacher? I want to stop it but I don't know why to say it...

"Hey? If you want to be a teacher, it's not impossible! It's my first time accepting an apprentice..."

"Xiwu? Are you sure you want to worship her..."

"Are you questioning my idol power?"

Started to interrupt me aggressively.

"It's not that I want to question you, but we don't even know what kind of performance you perform. You won't be famous for performing handstands and eating cakes, right?"

"Hmph! Who would do that kind of thing? I'll show you a show! The venue over there is empty, come and watch!"

The three of us were all curious about what kind of performance Feifei was performing, so we temporarily put aside the search task and followed Feifei to a park in the middle of the street.

Guiyue City is a city specially built for cultivating idols, so there are self-service booths for renting performance equipment everywhere, and they are free to use.

I was directed by Lin Feifei to take out two suspended stage speaker lights from the self-service booth. After this thing is set, it will automatically float above the head and act as a speaker while acting as a light.

"Ahem, Feifei's performance has started, everyone applaud me~"

She was too stupid to be saved, this time it was no longer 'qwer1234' but entered a normal ID 'Lin Feifei'. Fortunately, she still has some brains. If she really uses 'qwer1234' as her stage name, she probably won't be popular in performing for ten years.

I also took the responsibility of carrying the online live camera for her by the way. In her words, if the video is automatically recorded by the system, the angle will be very bad, making her look very short.

"If you feel short because your legs look short, it must be your illusion, because you have short legs" - just after I finished this sentence, I was stepped on twice by Feifei.

When the music starts, the lights automatically match the music, flashing festive red and white.

After singing a song, I am still thinking about it. Never expected that Feifei would have such strength...

I haven’t heard this song before. It seems to be a children’s song. To me, it sounds like an elementary school student made up a random song during a spring outing, but unexpectedly it fits her image very well, and Feifei’s dancing in circles also goes well with the song. And she has a nice voice too.

"It's okay."

"Although it's a bit naive, it might become popular if you manage it well."

Shen Qing also gave a fairly positive evaluation for her.

"I'm good at dancing too! I'm omnipotent!"

"That's it, but it's okay... But I don't remember that you have a setting that can sing and dance?"

"That's because I didn't have the opportunity to perform before. How could my talent be buried?"

Feifei's original setting is just a 100-year-old ghost lady NPC, and it is a guide-type NPC that only the player can see. She can't even be captured. If she doesn't perform, we can't know that she still sings and dances Skill.

"It seems that you are still a rising star, so if you don't need to pay back the 200 yuan I borrowed, it will be treated as my sponsorship. Don't forget if you are rich or honored."

I patted Feifei's head, and she gave her a hard look.

"Don't pat me on the head!"

"Tsk, just exempted you from 200 yuan in debt, so you are doing this to your benefactor."

"I want to know what it's like to be an idol."

Xi Wu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

This kind of question easily reminds me of the classic question-and-answer format of a question-and-answer forum. Unfortunately, I can't say "thank you" and then write thousands of words eloquently, because I have no experience in being an idol.

"Being an idol...Of course I'm very happy!"

Started immediately answered loudly.

"happy?"

"Hmm~ Some people can watch the show and make money!"

What Feifei said is correct, but what Xiwu needs is not these...

"Thank you, I'll answer." Shen Qing interrupted suddenly.

"Nobody invited you..."

Shen Qing ignored my complaints and continued:

"First of all, I have never been an idol, but being an idol can be liked and sought after by others, and it can also cultivate self-confidence. Whether it is common sense or feelings, the best way to learn is to go deep into the crowd and practice. Being an idol can satisfy these points. "

There is some truth in what I said, I actually believe that being an idol is really suitable for Xiwu.

The programmer has no information, which means we are far from finding Monica. This kind of moment without a sense of urgency is very suitable for chatting.

"Confidence? Why don't you say that being sought after by others is easy to have a psychological burden."

"Do you think Feifei or Yugiri are characters that will be burdened by this?"

These two people are people who don't have any psychological burden. The former is because they are overconfident, and the latter is because they don't know what kind of feelings it is.

Shen Qing nodded and continued:

"I hope they develop self-confidence. When you have the ability to understand others, but you don't have the courage to accept yourself, such a relationship is incomplete."

She seemed to have a deep understanding of these things. Strange, I thought Shen Qing would be a very confident person, after all, she always looks down on others.

But her words are not like what I imagined her to be, maybe I don't know her well.
