The Wasteland's Top Streamer

[Streamer, streamer, could you do that thing again? Eat spicy gluten snacks raw, then make a funny face. "Attached: pained mask.jpg"]

Lin Xiaocha: ...?

Lin Xiaocha: Are you talking about radiation earthworms?

Lin Xiaocha: ...Is that right?

Lin Xiaocha found a bizarre brain-computer interface plug-in. It seemed to connect her to a group of strange people, so she started a livestream account called [Wasteland Scavenger's Diary].

The people in the chat were all talented, and such a pleasure to talk to.

At first, the viewers from the modern livestream didn't realize it was a future livestream from another space-time. They thought it was just a scripted show to build up the channel.

And the streamer, a dropout from the world of education, thought her viewers were a bunch of AIs.

Until they discovered they could send the streamer snacks, cookies, chips, soda...

And the grateful refugee streamer sent the viewers biological prosthetics, spare parts, top-tier blueprints...

The underground livestream kept getting more popular. The streamer used the food to feed the townspeople, while the viewers got their hands on advanced-tech relics and made a fortune reselling them.

The leaders of both worlds were in an uproar!

Uh... As for whether the livestream should be handed over, how about we send a few more comments first...

Lin Xiaocha always unlocks a new storyline whenever she goes out exploring.

Every time a new character appears, the folks in the chat love making up rumors about the streamer.

When the captain assigned her a terrifying blue-haired, red-eyed partner, viewers went from [Kick him out] [What is this weird art style?]

To, after seeing Blue Hair's combat stats...

[Streamer is enslaving him] [Streamer is robbing him] [A stat monster has appeared!] [Does this handsome guy have his own account so I can follow him?]

After they'd gotten familiar with each other:

[I'm new here. Can someone tell me who the guy behind the streamer is?]

[Streamer's simp]

[Streamer's husband]

[Streamer's ex-husband. They just divorced]

[He's clearly the chat's great colleague. This guy's a whole mess]

Lin Xiaocha: ? Who threw peanuts at me?

Lin Xiaocha: Don't think I can't see you! You few usernames are spreading rumors every day, aren't you?

[Reader's Guide]:

1. The love interest is a sunny blue-haired puppy, even more illiterate than the female lead.

2. This isn't a powerful female lead story, and the female lead isn't a strong woman. She's a native of the wasteland. The focus is on the streamer and the folks in the chat messing with each other and making each other lose it in everyday life (cool sunglasses emoji).

3. The writing has a farming-sim feel, but there's little infrastructure-building. The focus is on everyday trips into the wild.

4. It has biopunk elements and is absolutely plot-driven (70,000 words in, and Blue Hair still hasn't appeared...)
