Chapter 170: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (45)

~8 min read 1,505 words

That evening, Xie Yang and her nephew had a heart-to-heart talk; the content of their conversation included, but was not limited to, alien technology, high-dimensional civilizations, consciousness entities...

The eldest nephew, who remained firmly at the top of his grade even after skipping grades, showed the first look of bewilderment in four years:

"Aunt, then what should I do? Comply with it and complete the tasks it issues, or ignore it?"

"No need to pay attention to it."

Xie Yang had obtained the standard for the tasks issued by the "Sky Screen Live Streaming System" from the Main System—the goal was to let the audience watching the Sky Screen appreciate this planet in the live stream from multiple angles and derive pleasure from it; there was no punishment.

Therefore, it did not matter whether the tasks issued by the Sub-system were completed or not.

In any case, the Sky Screen was still hanging over Great Liang; the people of Daliang did not know what this thing was for, and at most, they just watched modern scenes through the Sky Screen, much like watching a giant-screen movie.

Rather than catering to the Live Streaming System to do a bunch of messy tasks, it would be better to show the people of Daliang more things they were interested in, such as high-yield grain seeds, efficient ecological fertilizers, cheap bricks and tiles, simplified glass manufacturing processes, formulas for cement or asphalt, two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled transportation tools, and so on.

"It might just be curious about our planet, so in the gaps between your studies, you can browse more things that we humans rely on for survival, for example, food, clothing, housing, and transportation..."

"I understand!" Xie Jilin's star-like eyes shone brightly, "Although it is a consciousness entity from a high-dimensional civilization, it is actually also very unfamiliar with the planet we live on."

Just like when he and his younger sister first arrived in this world, curious about everything, amazed by everything.

It is the same, so it keeps urging him and his younger sister to go out and play; its purpose shouldn't really be wanting to play, but wanting to understand this world!

He understood!

He also knew what to do!

Xie Yang: "..."

Are you sure?

After a period of time, Xie Yang understood exactly what kind of "understanding" the eldest nephew meant.

He might have treated the Live Streaming System bound to him as a... newborn infant that knew nothing and was curious about everything.

He began to read a large number of various popular science picture books and animated videos in his spare time.

First, he reviewed "Super Baby," which he had been obsessed with when he first arrived at the Modern Plane, and then he found "The Fixies," "One Hundred Thousand Whys," "Busytown," "Little Bei's Great Inventions"...

These were all things he had watched and found useful and interesting, so he found them to show it.

But he couldn't accompany it to watch them from beginning to end again...

Thus, what Xie Yang saw was—

After finishing the homework assigned by the school, the eldest nephew sat quietly at his desk, holding a book he was interested in;

A tablet was propped up directly in front of him, playing popular science cartoons on a loop.

He didn't find it noisy either, treating the background sound as white noise.

Xie Yang supported her forehead, endured it, but still couldn't help laughing.

She really wanted to see the current reaction of the Live Streaming System's mimicry.

Sky Screen Live Streaming System: 【...】

It was already numb.

Is this host today actually toxic!

What made it even more unable to figure out was that the audience mood index found in the background was almost all positive scores.

Could it be that the netizens of this generation on Aomei Star have all become mothers? Bringing their cubs to watch the live stream?

Otherwise, could the Aomei Star audience endure such childish content for a day?

Xie Yang did think of a bug and asked the Main System: "Will the Live Streaming System discover that the Sky Screen is not in a normal state? Will it take it back and re-deploy it to Aomei Star?"

Main System: 【It cannot fix bugs; it can only wait for the live stream to end before forcibly shutting down and retrieving it.】

In that case, Xie Yang was not worried.

Once the time was up, it would be retrieved by her and sent back to the factory for repairs, and it would have nothing to do with Aomei Star.

Then let the eldest nephew be!

As long as he is happy.

Since then, the two children seemed to have reached a consensus, treating the suddenly appeared Live Streaming System as a baby who was curious about everything.

Xie Jilin showed it various cartoons, teaching it enlightenment.

Xie Jinchu held her ragdoll cat, going to pet shops, going to Taobao, going to browse doll accessory shops that little girls loved so much they couldn't walk away...

When Xie Yang asked her, she said righteously: "What if it's a cute baby girl? Can't just let brother take care of it! I can also take it to play!"

"..."

Sky Screen Live Streaming System: 【...】

Just let it crash!

But just when it wanted to crash, its energy was fully charged.

Some functions even had bugs, and there was no reaction after operating them; it could only helplessly let the siblings "toss it around"...

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

There was only half a year left of the ten-year live streaming limit.

After persisting for another half year, the Sky Screen Live Streaming System would automatically unbind from Xie Jilin and his sister, at which point it would be recycled by Xie Yang, and the "destruction" ending that constantly threatened this plane would finally be completely rewritten.

At this time, the nephew Xie Jilin, after skipping grades three times, was already a high school senior guaranteed admission to the Physics Department of Peking University, waiting for the university to start; whether he went to school or not didn't matter anymore.

The niece Xie Jinchu would also be in middle school in the second half of the year; the chubby little cutie from her childhood had never been fat again since she went to the dance class at the Children's Palace. Not yet twelve years old, she had already grown into a graceful young girl.

During elementary school, she was not only the school's signature speech contestant but also the lead singer of the choir and the lead dancer of the dance team; although her academic grades could not compare to her brother's, they were also among the best in the class.

Xie Yang was not worried about the future of the siblings at all.

On the contrary, she was worried they were too competitive, so she took them out to travel during every holiday.

Basically, as soon as the final exams ended, they didn't even go home; she picked them up at the school gate and headed straight to the airport, port, or high-speed railway station.

If they could make it back for the closing ceremony, they would; if they couldn't, they would just ask the teacher for leave.

Over so many years, there hasn't been a single vacation that didn't start this way.

The teachers have all become numb to it.

The other parents are even more numb.

Back in elementary school, there was still a group of parents who followed her lead, taking their children on trips as soon as exams were over.

But as the grade levels rose, especially after entering middle and high school, almost no one could keep up with the pace of the aunt and her two nieces and nephews traveling.

Children of the same age were taking remedial classes, while they were playing; children of the same age were drilling practice problems, while they were playing; children of the same age...

At first, Nuo Nuo Ma would imitate Xie Yang's parenting style—arranging a full and rich vacation plan for her Nuo Nuo, and taking him out to play as soon as the exams were over.

But the key was that the Xie Family siblings would arrange their own study time, and no matter how packed their travel plans were, they never let it delay their vacation homework.

However, her Feng Zinuo couldn't do it; once he started playing wildly, he couldn't even remember that homework existed.

He would only rush to finish his homework all night long when school was about to start.

When he couldn't finish it in time, he would beg his doting grandfathers and grandmothers to do it for him, which made her so angry her liver ached.

After this, Nuo Nuo Ma completely gave up.

It seems a Scholar is truly born, not made. For those with ordinary talent, no matter how much they imitate, it is hard to even see their backs.
