Tian Ci was a junior moderator on an interdimensional livestreaming platform, about to lose her job after being outcompeted by her coworkers. When it was time to select new streamers and choose new directions for the platform, Tian Ci, having decided to lie flat, picked every option at random. She planned to pack up and head to Chaos Star to beg for a living as soon as the last livestream cycle ended.
But things didn't seem to be going quite as planned...
Day One of the livestream
On screen, a handsome man with a cold, indifferent expression pointed at the horse beside him, which was missing a leg. "Sell it."
Viewers: ???
Viewers: If I'm not mistaken, that's an ancient species!
Day Two of the livestream
On screen, a disheveled middle-aged man with a face full of stubble picked up a bucket of water. "Hey, anyone want this?"
Viewers: ...!!
Viewers: We can actually get unpolluted, completely natural water!?
Viewers: Um, is there a limit per person?
Day ... of the livestream
On screen, a smiling man took out a large blade and easily split a log in two.
Viewers: Wow, such a handy melee weapon, and it doesn't make a sound! Great for killing zombies without attracting more!
Viewers: Let's try a thousand!
The livestream continued...
Fifty horses sold out as soon as they were listed. Two hundred blades sold in a second. There was even a newbie streamer who kept messaging her to ask what to do because he had nothing left to store water in. Watching huge sums of money pour through the livestream, Tian Ci was stunned.
After just a few streams, Tian Ci discovered that the livestream's sales had already shot past those of all her coworkers. [Ying Zheng], [Liu Bang]... These unknown newbie streamers were actually this impressive?!
Could it be... she might not lose her job after all?

Retired old horses, unused blades, water everywhere: from this suddenly appearing livestreaming platform, they could trade them for heaps of things they'd never seen before.
[Nutrient Paste] [Healing Potion] [Generator] [Giant Deep-Sea Fish]...
Looking at the unheard-of goods before them, the Qin Emperor, the Han Ancestor, and all the streamers across the various dynasties were stunned.
Wait, they were only trying it out... and it actually worked?

Reader's Guide and Warnings
1. The protagonist's role is similar to that of a System, and so is her screen time. She's mostly in the background.
2. The protagonist doesn't know these historical figures.
3. The streamers are people from ancient times, including not only famous figures but also ordinary people.
4. Entirely fictional, with parallel worlds that don't affect or interfere with one another.
5. More may be added if I think of anything.
