Deciding to act, Lin Huanyan organized the list of review accounts recommended by netizens.
OoReview, OldLiuFakeBusting, and GeisAnalysis were the three most mentioned review accounts.
Lin Huanyan searched for each of them and found that they were all big streamers with hundreds of billions of followers.
Among them, OoReview was a very cute girl, with a particularly kawaii appearance. Lin Huanyan clicked on her past videos and saw that most of her reviews were on various kinds of food.
According to online summaries, OoReview came from a very wealthy family, frequently visited high-end places, but her passion was food. She often reviewed dishes from five-star restaurants or purchased fruit from auctions for reviews.
Her content satisfied the curiosity of her audience, and her adorable looks and the way she ate made people crave the food she reviewed. According to netizens, watching OoReview eat food could make them drink three bottles of nutrition liquid.
OldLiuFakeBusting was a middle-aged man with a round face and friendly, humorous eyes. He had a knack for making people laugh. His reviews were different from OoReview’s; he reviewed anything sent to him by his followers. This made him very popular among netizens who often interacted with him, sending things they weren’t sure about for him to review.
Finally, there was GeisAnalysis, a technical analysis reviewer. Geis was a graduate of Empire University and had worked in an official testing agency for many years, eventually becoming an S-level researcher. However, he found his work boring and quit to start his own private testing and analysis studio while also livestreaming.
His casual streaming style, combined with his solid technical skills, made him an instant hit and turned him into a top streamer. Many netizens said they learned a lot of things they didn’t know before from his streams.
Lin Huanyan watched all three of their videos and couldn’t help but admire them. After watching, she followed and bookmarked them. She thought this could become a new hobby for her.
It was getting late, though, and Lin Huanyan felt a bit guilty. She had promised to rest well before Gu Yincheng returned to Tianyu, but here she was staying up late again.
She closed the livestream platform and played some soft music to herself, slowly drifting off to sleep.
As night turned to day, the artificial sun diligently did its job, illuminating the living room and waking up the two little pets. Their increasing appetites made them excited as they rushed to their bowls, only to find them empty, reflecting the silhouette of the snow beast. Their owner, who had stayed up late, was still sleeping!
Xiaobao (pitifully lying on the ground): “Wuwu~”
Dabao: “Wu (Don’t worry, little brother, watch me)~”
With a single teleport, Dabao went straight into Lin Huanyan’s bedroom, its hefty weight instantly waking up the still-sleeping Lin Huanyan.
“So heavy, Dabao, get up! You’re crushing me; I can’t breathe.”
The moment she felt the familiar fluff, Lin Huanyan immediately understood that it was Dabao causing mischief again. She never would have thought that the biggest use of Dabao’s newly awakened ability would be to remind her, its owner, not to forget to feed them.
After getting up and washing up, Lin Huanyan quickly filled the food bowls of the two little troublemakers with plenty of snow beast food. Only after seeing them eat happily did she start handling her own tasks.
Since the list of streamers was confirmed last night, today was the day to put everything into action.
There were three streamers, each with a different style, so naturally, different strategies had to be employed.
Old Liu was the easiest. All she needed to do was send the products directly to him, along with an explanation of what was inside. Given the recent popularity of Lin’s Store, he would definitely choose to do an unboxing review.
Geis was also straightforward. She could place an order with his inspection and analysis studio, pay a bit extra, and leave a note asking for a live inspection and analysis.
The tricky one was OoReview. A wealthy streamer who wasn’t short on money, she had never accepted any sponsored reviews so far, only featuring products she personally liked or that were recommended by fans.
But Lin Huanyan noticed a possible breakthrough. OoReview particularly disliked nutrient solutions but loved delicious food, especially food that looked good. Being a visual foodie, she had no resistance to pretty and tasty food.
And as luck would have it, Lin Huanyan had recently cultivated a batch of beautiful and delicious multi-colored watermelons. Although still in the trial phase and not ready for mass production, using a few for a review was feasible.
So she left her Black Hole Lab and headed to the cultivation base.
“Hello, Professor Lin.”
“Good morning, Professor Lin.”
“…”
Along the way, she was greeted by many employees, and she responded to each one until she arrived at the watermelon lab.
The intern researchers had been divided into groups earlier, and Zhang Qianqian happened to choose the watermelon experiment group. Naturally, Lin Huanyan sought her out first.
“Qianqian, where are the fruits from the batch of multi-colored watermelons we cultivated earlier? Bring them over. Also, grab a few of the current store-sale watermelons.”
“Got it. I’ll get them right away.”
“Nana, head over to the potato experiment group next door and bring some market-grade potatoes.”
“Xiao Zhuo, go to the product department and fetch a few packaged water lotus and brine shrimp sets.”
Soon, everyone returned with what Lin Huanyan requested.
She prepared three large shipping boxes. The first two were filled with products currently available in the store, two of each, along with five potatoes per box.
The last box was different. It contained regular watermelons sold in the store, the newly cultivated multi-colored watermelons, and the soon-to-be-released potatoes. Since this streamer only reviewed food, that’s all she packed.
Lin Huanyan then carried out her plan: the first package was sent directly to Old Liu, the second was ordered through StarNet and sent to Geis, and for the third, she contacted OoReview directly via the StarNet representative.
The process went smoothly. After submitting her request with a note explaining the purpose, OoReview quickly accepted her contact request.
[Hello, I’m the owner of Lin’s Store, and I’d like you to review our products.]
[Lin’s Store? I know your watermelons are delicious.]
Lin Huanyan didn’t expect OoReview to have already tried them, making things potentially easier.
[As you know, our watermelons are not only tasty but also effective for mental health conditions. However, many people who haven’t tried them have unfairly criticized and smeared our products, causing a negative impact. That’s why I’d like you to review them.]
On the other end, OoReview hesitated. While she was tempted, she had promised her fans she would never accept commercial commissions. Wouldn’t this be going against her word? But the watermelons were so delicious…
She thought back to the small slice of watermelon her stingy cousin had shared with her before.
As she hesitated, another message came through.
[This time, we’re asking you to review not only the current store watermelons but also the experimental, visually stunning multi-colored watermelons and our soon-to-be-released potatoes.]
To make the deal sweeter, three photos were sent in quick succession.
The first showed a large watermelon, its green rind and red flesh with black seeds beautifully arranged on a plate, accompanied by a frosty glass of iced watermelon juice.
The second image featured small, exquisite watermelons with differently colored flesh: pale green, sky blue, soft yellow. Their crystal-clear appearance was incredibly eye-catching.
The third image was of golden, crispy potato slices sizzling on a metal plate, looking irresistibly appetizing.
WooWoo felt her resolve waver. They looked so delicious, and her foodie heart was already on the verge of surrender.
So, she came up with the perfect compromise…
[Boss, I did promise my fans I wouldn’t accept product reviews, but the photos you sent are just too tempting. How about this, boss? You tell me the price of these items, and I’ll buy them myself. This way, it’s considered my own purchase, and it won’t count as a commission.]
Lin Huanyan didn’t expect such a message after the other party hesitated for a while. Since the person had money and didn’t want to go back on their promise to their fans, proposing an alternative approach wasn’t out of the question.
With both parties aligned in their goals, an agreement was quickly reached: Lin Huanyan would sell the items to the other party, and afterward, they could review them however they liked, as long as it didn’t negatively impact the brand.
With the review arrangement settled, the next step was simply waiting for the outcome.
Ocean Star, Old Liu’s House
After making a good fortune through his counterfeit-exposing livestreams, Old Liu bought a large house on Ocean Star, perfect for storing the packages sent by his fans.
That day, as usual, he started his livestream.
“Hello, everyone! It’s time for Old Liu’s daily counterfeit-exposing session. Welcome, viewers!”
[Good morning, Old Liu!]
[Hi, Old Liu!]
[Old Liu, let’s skip the intro and get started.]
[…]
As expected from a popular streamer, the moment Old Liu went live, viewers flooded in, and the barrage of comments filled the screen. One line wasn’t finished before another took its place.
Thankfully, Old Liu was used to this. He had a secondary screen with slowed-down comments just for reading the chat.
“Alright, let’s skip the chatter and get straight to today’s reviews.”
“Now, let’s welcome our robot assistant, Xiao Xing, to bring over the packages sent by everyone.”
A round robot suddenly popped out, extending tiny arms and legs. With its small body, it dragged over a large cart full of packages stacked tightly together.
[Old Liu, stop bullying Xiao Xing! That tiny body dragging such a big cart is too much.]
[So cute! Xiao Xing is adorable!]
[Old Liu, what surprises do you have for us today?]
[Rubbing my hands together in anticipation!]
Old Liu patted his shiny bald head. “Once again, we have the usual mountain of packages. Let’s see what troubles everyone has sent in this time.”
[I don’t care how many packages there are, but Old Liu, your head really is bright!]
[The shiniest streamer on the web—Old Liu.]
[In any crowd, you’d stand out the most.]
Old Liu had long grown accustomed to jokes about his bald head. After responding to a few comments, he began unboxing the packages.
“Let’s open the first package and see what this viewer is troubled about.”
The first box contained several green fruits.
“This viewer says they found a shop selling fruits that claim to bring happiness when eaten. They sent them in for me to test if it’s true.”
“This sounds dubious, but let’s let the facts speak. Old Liu will give it a try.”
He grabbed one fruit, washed it, and took a bite.
Instantly, his face scrunched up tightly. After a couple of minutes, his expression finally relaxed.
[What happened, Old Liu? Is it really bad?]
[With that expression, I already have a bad feeling.]
[Old Liu’s big round face just shrunk from the grimace!]
[Old Liu, you’re so dedicated!]
[Hurry up, tell us how it tastes! I’m dying of curiosity!]
[Is the happiness fruit a scam?]
“My friend, let me tell you, this vendor’s claim is… not entirely false. You take one bite, and it’s extremely bitter—bitter enough to make you question life itself. But after a while, it turns sweet. Isn’t that bittersweet happiness?”
[Hahaha! So that’s what they meant.]
[I think Old Liu just threw some serious shade at the vendor.]
[No need to guess; that was definitely sarcasm.]
[This fruit could be great for pranks. Who bought it? Share the shop address, please!]
[…]
Next up was a second package containing a square cushion.
“This viewer says the seller claims it’s an ultra-soft cushion, so soft that even a Guagua bird’s egg won’t crack if placed on it.”
[Uh, why use a Guagua bird’s egg?]
[The Guagua bird says, ‘If you want my egg, you’ll have to get past me first.’]
“Alright then, let’s bring in our assistant for this experiment—the Guagua bird’s egg.”
Old Liu stepped off-screen briefly and returned holding a few white eggs. He placed one on the cushion.
“Alright, watch closely. I’m about to sit on it.”
[Ahhhhh! So exciting!]
[I can’t bear to watch. With Old Liu’s weight, that egg is going to get crushed, isn’t it?]
[I’ve bought this cushion before. It’s pretty soft, but I’ve never tested it with an egg.]
Old Liu, plump and hefty, was clearly no lightweight. Seeing him about to sit on a tiny egg, some viewers couldn’t bring themselves to watch.
Then, in the next second, Old Liu had already successfully sat down, as steady as Mount Tai.
[Old Liu, did the egg break?]
[Old Liu, is your egg still intact?]
[The person above, don’t ask like that, it might cause misunderstandings.]
[Old Liu, are your pants wet?]
On the screen, Old Liu furrowed his brows, held his pants, and slowly stood up.
[Ah, like this, did it break?]
[I don’t know.]
[Is Old Liu going to change his pants now?]
“Dear viewers, I regret to inform you that this quackbird egg—did not break! Haha.”
As he spoke, he pulled out an intact egg from behind him.
[Ahhhh, Old Liu, you scared me! I thought the egg had already broken!]
[Old Liu, you lied to me. I’m cutting ties with you for one second.]
[So, does this mean this cushion is really that soft? Could the person who said they bought it before tell me which brand it is?]
[My boss insisted on turning the office into some kind of sci-fi setup, and even the chairs are hard as rocks. It’s killing me. I desperately need a soft cushion to save me.]
“Well, as you all might have guessed by now, this cushion is indeed as good as the seller claimed. So yes, it’s real.”
After saying that, Old Liu turned his back to the camera and began selecting the next package.
“Next, let’s see the third package.”
As Old Liu faced away from the audience, they couldn’t see the flash of sharpness on his usually goofy and comical face.
He precisely selected a plain and slightly larger package from the towering pile of deliveries.
This package contained today’s main highlight: products from the recently popular Lin Family Store.
In truth, there was no such thing as a random selection, and it was no coincidence that he could pick out the most intriguing items from so many packages.
All these deliveries had been pre-screened, and the ones chosen were the most suitable for a “debunking” session.
If they didn’t do this, the live stream would either become too dull, losing the audience’s interest, or they might accidentally open a package with dangerous items, risking safety. Although the selection wasn’t random, the reviews and tests were genuine and authentic.
Today’s script was also pre-planned: use the egg trick to entertain the audience and build up a fun atmosphere, then segue smoothly with the universally appealing cushion as a bridge.
What came next was the main event of the day: the review of Lin Family Store products. So far, no live streamer had done this review—his channel was the first in the entire star network.
It wasn’t that others didn’t want to try. The store’s products were inherently viral, and everyone wanted to ride the wave to boost their traffic. However, the products were notoriously hard to acquire, and no one else had managed to get their hands on them.
The package he received contained duplicates of everything, even some items not yet launched. He suspected it might have been sent directly by the brand.
Considering the recent surge of online skepticism, it seemed the brand was confident in its products. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare send them to him, a reviewer known for his authentic debunking.
Regardless of the brand’s intentions, since it was sent to him, he would review it truthfully.
Whether the brand could quell the growing doubts online depended entirely on the quality of their products.
Old Liu’s mind raced with these thoughts, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
He turned around with the large package in his arms, his face still wearing the familiar goofy, entertaining smile.
“Alright, let’s open the third package and see what this viewer sent me.”
