I Became Famous Around the World by Livestreaming My Sleep

(Updates daily at 9 p.m. The blurb for the upcoming story, My Poor Landlord Keeps Getting Bullied by His Tenants, is below. If you like it, please add it to your collection.)

1.

After an accident, college student Luo Yu found himself in a world where people worked themselves to the bone to an absurd degree.

People here took drugs to completely eliminate the need for sleep, working twenty-four hours a day!

Unable to understand it, Luo Yu lay facedown on his desk and forced himself to sleep.

His roommate, who had never slept a day in his life, thought he'd passed out and rushed him to the hospital...

To make sleeping seem perfectly legitimate, Luo Yu wrote "Promoting Classical Culture: Sleep" on his streamer's application form.

He got certified as a sleep blogger and started livestreaming himself sleeping every day.

As soon as the stream began, Luo Yu climbed into the bathtub.

He held hot mulled wine in his left hand and a poetry collection in his right.

He had a face mask on and music playing beside him.

He wore a cotton bathrobe, then changed into silk pajamas.

He lit a sleep-inducing incense stick and burrowed into a soft bed.

After all that...

His livestream had the lowest popularity.

But when he woke up, the number of viewers was...

actually six digits!

Luo Yu: ??? So many people watched him sleep?

The comments had gone from [Is this person crazy?] to, overnight:

[Wifey looks so peaceful sleeping. I never thought sleep could be this interesting.]

[The person above is wrong. That's my wife! Her face looks so soft. Kisses and pokes.]

[Let me lick the screen, lick the screen, lick the screen...]

2.

As Luo Yu's sleeping beauty went viral, the entire human race launched a sleep revival!

After hearing a report from a subordinate, Song Lingyuan, the brilliant young professor and highest-ranking official of the International Human Progress Association, mercilessly ordered Luo Yu's account banned for disrupting social order and hindering social progress.

Unexpectedly, with secret support from a grassroots resistance group that the Association viewed as a thorn in its side, Luo Yu's sleep streams sprang back to life on a small scale!

Banned. Back again!

Banned. Back again!

After his Nth sweep to shut down sleep streams,

Song Lingyuan saw another notification that Luo Yu was live and flew into a rage.

But he accidentally tapped into the livestream.

And then...

With a gloomy expression, he watched without looking away.

He watched for a long time.

He sent the most expensive rocket gift.

And accidentally became the top donor.

His subordinate was shocked. "Professor, you..."

Song Lingyuan calmly tossed his phone aside.

"I tapped it by mistake."

"It's corrupting people's minds. Ban it permanently!"

A little scene:

One day in the future,

a subordinate called Professor Song with an urgent matter.

The call went unanswered for a long time. When he finally picked up, the professor snapped, "Why are you making noise so late at night?"

! What was this? A case of morning grumpiness, one of the side effects of sleeping!

The subordinate was shocked.

"Professor, are you... sleeping?"

He asked carefully, "Didn't you take the drug?"

He walked right into the danger zone. "Didn't you say you wouldn't sleep even if everyone in the world went to bed?"

"..."

Song Lingyuan was wondering whether to ship his subordinate overseas when Luo Yu, beside him, took a sleepy bite out of him in a sulk.

"You're so noisy."

Song Lingyuan exhaled and lowered his voice.

"Shut up. You wouldn't understand the joy of holding your wife while you sleep."

Then he quickly hung up.

The single subordinate: ...

Note:

1. Character types: a playful, self-aware sunshine beauty who knows how to tease × a cold-hearted, calculating, abstinent top

2. Modern alternate universe. Don't apply real-world logic. The end of sleep is part of the setting and won't get a detailed scientific explanation.

Blurb:

On Song Zhiyao's eighteenth birthday, his parents happily pulled out a ring of keys.

"Congratulations on becoming an adult! Here's a secret: our family actually lives off rental income! These keys to the tenants' places are yours now!"

Song Zhiyao looked around at the shabby rental apartment he'd lived in for eighteen years. ...?

The next day, both his parents disappeared, leaving behind only a note.

The note had the rent-collection addresses on it.

And a reminder in bold red letters:

[Make sure to collect the rent before midnight on the first of every month!]

The first of the following month.

Song Zhiyao took seven keys and rode the bus to the address his parents had left behind, arriving right on time to collect the rent.

Wow.

The whole building belonged to his family.

What a waste, though. There was only one tenant on each floor.

He knocked on the door of apartment 101.

A silver-haired vampire in a black robe opened it.

"I'm starving. If I die of hunger, I won't be able to pay rent. Let me have a bite first."

Song Zhiyao: "Just one bite, okay?" For the money!

He leaned his pale neck toward the vampire.

The vampire narrowed his eyes, bared his sharp fangs, and drew him into his arms, savoring him to his heart's content.

It had been so, so long since he'd enjoyed blood this delicious...

201.

A cat-eared boy opened the door.

His soft tail curled around Song Zhiyao's leg and pulled him onto the couch.

"No one's petted me since I changed form... Make me happy, and I'll pay the rent."

The cat-eared boy fell into Song Zhiyao's arms, so he could only rub his ears and stroke his belly.

He kept at it until he was panting, and the boy began purring happily in his arms.

Then his eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he pinned Song Zhiyao to the couch, licking and biting him!

301.

A newly created android lived here.

"No human wants to love me. I have no reason to keep living."

The android looked gloomy. "Could you call me baby? It would make me feel loved."

"Baby." For the money, Song Zhiyao was willing to do anything. "Can you pay the rent?"

"That sounds so nice, so nice. Could you say it one more time?"

The android seemed to flip a switch, pinning Song Zhiyao against the wall with one hand.

"Say it a few more times... Call me baby, darling..."

Rent collection was way too hard!

Sore all over and parched, Song Zhiyao finally made it to 701.

The door opened.

Finally! A normal human lived here!

But...

It was his sworn enemy from school, the one who shared a dorm room and a bunk bed with him and picked fights with him at every turn!

His enemy looked as though he'd been waiting for a very, very long time.

He looked positively furious!

"Could you get rid of those annoying things downstairs?"

His enemy shoved a bank card into his arms.

"From now on, come straight to me. I'll pay for all seven."

Song Zhiyao hated this enemy more than anyone at school. He disdainfully threw the card back. "Hmph, do you think I won't kick you out first?"

The two of them started arguing, and Song Zhiyao lost track of time.

Before he knew it, it was midnight.

The moment the clock struck, countless terrifying tentacles burst out of his enemy's body!

They wrapped around Song Zhiyao and dragged him into the room!

Later... later that night,

the tentacles coiled around him, toyed with him, and took him.

He failed to kick his enemy out. He couldn't even leave himself.

When he left the building, Song Zhiyao was carried to the car.

He was desperate.

Would he have to go through this torment on the first of every month from now on?

Soon Song Zhiyao found out.

Once a month?

Heh, he was still too naive...

Probably a daily-life story with a chaotic, harem-like appeal?
