Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 1

“System, start the live broadcast.”

[The live broadcast system has started.]

[Host identity authentication successful.]

[System default platform: MeowFish app.]

After hearing the voice in his mind, Bai Qiu took out a phone from his pocket and turned it on.

Surprisingly, the phone automatically connected to the live streaming platform even without an internet connection.

Several passersby gradually joined the live room.

“Can I ask what this streamer does?”

“‘I am not Evils of Humanity,’ the streamer, your name sounds cool.”

Bai Qiu smiled professionally at the phone screen.

“Welcome everyone to join this live room. Newcomers, please click the follow and favorite buttons. This live room mainly showcases the daily activities and filming scenes of our company, as well as some special effects.”

“What kind of company is it?”

“Is it a streamer company? If it is, then I’ll take a look.”

Bai Qiu calmly explained to the screen.

“Our company mainly deals with film and television special effects. We recently took on several projects. Let me show you around.”

Saying that, Bai Qiu casually looked around with his phone.

“The video quality is good, very impressive.”

“Where is this, streamer? It looks so futuristic.”

The snow-white walls and the huge screen displaying analytical data in the frame intrigued the viewers in the live room.

“Oh, this place? I can’t say because of confidentiality agreements. Come on, let me show you around over here…”

“Senpai!”

Before Bai Qiu could finish, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

As soon as they heard the soft voice of a girl, the atmosphere in the live room became lively.

“A girl’s voice!”

“The streamer is here, make some room, guys!”

“You’re interrupting my view of the beautiful girl! Turn the camera!”

“…Senpai? What are you doing?”

“Oh, Mashu, I’m doing a live stream.”

In the frame, a girl with pink hair and black-framed glasses leaned in with curiosity.

“A live stream?”

The girl looked puzzled.

“You mean the kind of thing doctors often watch, like that Magical☆Meri or something?”

“Oh! So Senpai is doing a live stream too. That’s surprising.”

Suddenly, Mashu covered her mouth and showed an embarrassed expression.

“Senpai, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”

“No, no, everyone is happy to see you.”

Bai Qiu pointed to his phone screen.

“Wow, a foreign beauty!”

“Is her name Mashu? She’s so cute. From today, I’ll be Mashu’s fan!”

“Hey, upstairs, this is not a hair salon!”

“Fufu!!!”

Suddenly, a fluffy little creature jumped over, trying to knock the phone out of Bai Qiu’s hand.

“Hey, Fou!”

Luckily, Bai Qiu dodged in time and prevented it from succeeding.

“What is this little thing? It looks so cute!”

“Is it a fox? Or a cat???”

“Is its fur dyed?”

Everyone began discussing excitedly about what species Fu Fu could be.

Bai Qiu glanced at the current number of people in the live room, which was less than ten.

It was much lower than expected.

But it wasn’t a big problem because the main event was about to begin.

“Mashu Kyrielight, so you’re here.”

“Professor Lev.”

Mashu hurriedly stood up when she saw the newcomer.

“The pre-preparation for the Master Candidate is about to begin. You should go to the control room.”

“Oh? And who are you?”

Lev glanced at Bai Qiu and opened the micro-terminal control device in his hand.

“Oh, you’re the ordinary person who was hired.”

Soon, Lev noticed the phone in Bai Qiu’s hand and smiled slightly.

“Oh? A mobile device for common use. Interesting.”

Then he looked at Mashu and Bai Qiu again.

“You two, hurry up. If you’re absent, the Director will be on your tail for a year.”

“Senpai, let’s go quickly!”

Mashu pulled Bai Qiu’s hand and ran towards the control room.

“Hey, what happened?”

“What’s going on? Was that person a foreigner too?”

“Sorry, everyone. The company has a meeting, I’ll be back soon.”

Bai Qiu apologized to the phone.

“Go ahead, go ahead.”

“Good luck, worker!!”

The live room remained harmonious, as there weren’t many people at the moment.

After ending the live stream, Bai Qiu followed Mashu and hurriedly made their way to the familiar control room, taking the elevator.

“Welcome to the secret agency Chaldea. I am Olga Marie Animusphere, the Director of Chaldea!”

Underneath the massive screen in front, a proud girl with white long hair was introducing herself, surrounded by Masters wearing uniforms.

“All of you have been selected from various countries or have been discovered to possess extraordinary talents.”

But at this moment, Bai Qiu wasn’t paying attention to the words of the proud Director. He absentmindedly tapped the table in front of him with his finger.

“System, how many live stream points do I have?”

[Beep beep beep – Querying, query successful!]

[The host’s current live stream points are 10.]

[You need 990 more points to draw from the prize pool.]

[Please continue to strive in your live stream to attract more attention and earn more live stream points.]

Bai Qiu chuckled bitterly in his mind, remembering recent events.

Bai Qiu.

Male, 16 years old, a student.

Due to playing too many mobile games during the holidays and not getting enough sleep, he ended up falling asleep and accidentally boarded a bus to a different world.

When he woke up again, he found himself in Chaldea and had become the 48th Master Candidate from China.

This number was originally assigned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, but now it was his.

Thinking about the challenges that lay ahead, Bai Qiu couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Just when he was feeling hopeless, he suddenly awakened a live stream lottery system.

According to the system, as long as he started a live stream and attracted viewers, he could earn points.

These points could be used to draw Heroic Spirits.

At least, that’s what the system said.

Hopefully, it won’t be like a game where I draw Mystic Codes. Otherwise, I’ll really start cursing.

As an old FGO player, Bai Qiu was naturally familiar with the current situation.

Lev, who was about to ascend to the Grand Caster position, was going to show his power, and Chaldea was going to face a great crisis. And Bai Qiu himself would be sent to the Fuyuki Singularity.

Relying solely on his kouhai’s fighting strength was too risky. To be absolutely safe, he had to earn enough points through live streaming to draw other Heroic Spirits as allies.

While Bai Qiu was nervously contemplating, he suddenly noticed the angry white-haired girl with a tsundere expression standing next to him.

“Number 48, ordinary person! How dare you ignore my words here! Get out!!!”
