F-fifty thousand people?
Fifty thousand people were online at the sa ti, listening to her explain how to build a rocket?
For a mont, Sophia Shaw thought there was a system error, so she used a sock puppet account to enter the stream as a viewer.
Still fifty thousand people!
And not only had the number not dropped because of her pause, it was actually climbing slowly.
Sophia Shaw: "..."
She had no choice but to continue her lecture.
Behind countless phone screens, pairs of wide eyes, hungry for knowledge, were glued to the display.
There were elentary schoolers, middle schoolers, and college students.
There were also young adults and corporate elites.
And even senior citizens.
So were so captivated by Sophia Shaw’s story that they couldn’t look away.
So were so blown away by her profound knowledge they wanted to bow down in awe.
And so were just there for Sophia Shaw’s pretty face!
All sorts of bullet comnts flew across the screen.
"Goo goo ga ga," a small face suddenly popped into view, babbling at the screen as if making an important announcent.
A... child?
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Where did this kid co from?
The little one on the screen was completely unaware that tens of thousands of people were watching her. With big, watery eyes like black grapes, she looked this way and that, almost as if she were about to crawl right out of the screen.
Whoa!
So cute.
So pretty!
Countless won watching were overwheld by the cuteness of the little one who had suddenly appeared, wishing they could just pull her out of the screen and raise her at ho.
The children in the audience rubbed their eyes.
This video is so interesting! It even has surprises, like a blind box! Is this a cartoon kid that popped out?
She looks so soft, so fair, so tender. Can we hug her to sleep?
The older viewers pushed up their reading glasses.
What a good little girl, so well-behaved.
The seniors didn’t have much energy and were worried they’d get tired watching.
The strear is so thoughtful, throwing in an Easter egg in the middle.
But looking at this little one just lted their hearts. Who could feel tired now?
The little girl continued to explore, sticking her tongue out at the screen one mont, smacking her lips the next, then tilting her head with her big eyes wide open...
The comnts imdiately went wild.
"Ahhh, I can’t take it! I’m dying of cuteness!"
"Is this the strear’s baby? How can she be so adorable?"
"We get to learn and watch a cute baby at the sa ti! This strear is the best! Love her, love her!"
"My baby’s due in March. Praying for one this cute!"
"I’m due in five months! Praying for a cute baby! I want to have an adorable baby with big eyes and a big head, too."
"..."
Just then, Sophia Shaw had to take a call.
Since it was from Levin Sawyer, she turned away without having ti to say anything to her audience.
But after just a few dozen seconds, when she turned back, she was completely stunned!
Her little cutie had, at so point, pressed her face right up to the screen, her two small hands clutching the monitor as she made all sorts of funny faces.
Bullet comnts were flying wildly across the screen.
Gifts were being spamd.
Aircraft carrier gifts flew by one after another, as if they were free.
The entire screen was filled with the dazzling, colorful clouds that trailed the aircraft carriers, leaving viewers dizzy.
Cute bunnies and lambs, also gifts, vied to fly across the screen.
There were also hearts and little flowers, popping up like bubbles, wave after wave, too fast to even count!
Sophia Shaw: "..."
"Goo goo ga ga," the little one babbled, her mouth open and drool glistening as she looked at her mommy.
"Mommy, Baby is amazing! Baby is amazing!"
Sophia Shaw froze for a second before quickly disabling the gift function, but she had already received tens of thousands worth of gifts.
Her: "..."
Sophia Shaw had originally been ranked in the top five, but the mont her little cutie appeared, she shot straight to number one.
Hundreds of thousands of new viewers flooded into the stream, all of them coming for the cute baby and Sophia Shaw!
Sophia Shaw was dumbfounded.
’Can people really be this crazy?’
"Bun, what did you do?"
"Babababa." ’I didn’t do anything.’
The big panel in front of her was just so interesting that she stared at it for a while and even took a few bites.
Sophia Shaw then noticed the drool and bite marks on her monitor.
"..."
Sophia Shaw quickly picked Bun up and moved her away.
Then she started her lecture again.
「About half an hour later.」
"I can’t take it anymore, I can’t! This old man’s back is giving out. Hey, young lady strear, give this old gramps ten minutes of the cute baby!"
"I didn’t want Miss Rocket to stop, but the old grandpa’s suggestion is so tempting... Let just weakly ask, miss, can I also request a ten-minute session?"
"Teacher Rocket, we want an Easter egg!"
"Studying is so hard! We need the cute baby to cheer us up."
’Huh? Is soone calling for ?’
Bun’s little head popped in front of the screen again.
Her short neck turned flexibly from left to right, her big, grape-like black eyes darting around with an indescribably lively and mischievous air.
Her mouth was slightly open, babbling a solemn "bababa," as if asking, "Who’s looking for ? Who’s looking for ?"
"Cuteness overload! Cuteness overload!"
"I’m cheered up! All better now!"
"This stream is such a good deal. You get super-informative content from the expert strear, plus the imasurable emotional support from the cute baby. Totally worth it!"
"And we have to ntion Teacher Rocket’s divine beauty. The cute baby inherited her mother’s excellent genes. So good-looking, both of them."
"Getting solid info, appreciating peerless beauty, and having a cute baby cheer you on... Life is good."
"..."
Sophia Shaw watched Bun, who was blissfully chattering away with the audience like a chicken talking to a duck, and then looked at the screen filled with all sorts of creative jokes and comnts. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She had originally worried that Bun’s presence would be a distraction, but it turned out the feeling was mutual.
The hype around Rocket Planet was so intense that the platform imdiately boosted her traffic, and millions of viewers poured in at once.
Sophia Shaw had turned off donations, but the audience wasn’t having it.
"What’s the big idea? You won’t even let us give the kid a red envelope?"
"Strear, please, open the donation channel right now! The little one is providing us with value, so it’s only right that we give her gifts!"
"What? You expect a big, grown man like to just leech off a little baby? I can’t afford that sha!"
"I’m heartbroken. The kind of heartbroken that can’t be fixed. Unless you let donate."
Sophia Shaw: "..."
She stared speechlessly at the bullet comnts. ’This generation of viewers is really sothing else...’
If she didn’t reopen the donation channel, her stream was probably going to explode.
Sophia Shaw had no choice but to turn it back on.
Sophia Shaw’s stream that night went viral across the entire internet.
「The Sherman Family Ho.」
Yvonne Sherman had also seen Sophia Shaw’s stream.
It wasn’t that she had deliberately sought it out; Sophia Shaw’s stream was just so popular it was hard to miss.
For her very first stream to be such a massive success... Yvonne Sherman’s fingers tightened slightly.
"I can’t believe that Sophia Shaw actually thought of using her daughter to get views! She barely knows the first thing about building rockets, yet she sohow managed to pull millions of people into her stream!"
She made money and got famous.
Yvonne Sherman seethed with jealousy.
Even the stream where she had used Joanna Sherman’s fa to attract viewers hadn’t drawn this many people at once.
She turned to her daughter, who was looking down at so docunts on a tablet, and shoved her phone under her nose. "Listen, Joanna, you have a daughter, too, and your professional knowledge is way beyond hers. Why don’t you take Stella and do a livestream? You’ll definitely do better than her!"
