Greatest Streamer System-Chapter 495 - – Night Gathering

Entering the VR World, Max chose the public Lobby called 'Cafetain'.

It was a lobby room that was decorated like a coffee shop. The design was based on a coffee shop that existed in the real world, and there was a barista NPC that served drinks.

There were many people gathered in this Lobby. They met their friends and chatted with each other, exchanging stories about their streams and discussing what kind of events they wanted to do in the future.

In this Lobby, a private room was available for rent. It was pretty cheap and only cost $5 diamonds to be used for an hour.

Max entered the room MadLad told him over the message and found the guy inside.

"Oh, you're already here." He chirped as he saw the man in front of him. "Aren't you too excited for the gathering? I don't think you're the type to arrive first in a meeting."

"I arrived on time. It's you who are late." MadLad clicked his tongue and pulled an article, showing it on the hologram screen, "What is this? You were in a movie with your girlfriend just a few hours before the gathering? Not only that, you were even interviewed!"

"The interviewer approached us." Max smiled sheepishly, "It was just a coincidence. And we have to go early to skip the line so..."

"That doesn't mean you can watch the movie before an important gathering. If you were late, your reputation as a nominee would be ruined. Are you not taking the Streamer Wars seriously? This is not a game. God damn it. And you were the one who had the most nominations."

MadLad continued the last sentence in a small voice. He didn't want to admit that his self-proclaimed rival got more nominations than him.

"Sorry, sorry." Max raised his hands in the air, "We have free time so we went on a date. Besides, the gathering will not start in another 30 minutes. Flexy isn't here yet so we need to wait for him."

"Flexy? Is he invited as a senior streamer?"

"No. Apparently, he will be the master of ceremony in the award event."

"... Really?"

"Yes."

"Damn." MadLad clicked his tongue again. "What is the event's planner doing? There are many other good streamers to be chosen as the MC. Why Flexy? It will ruin the mood. He's too funny. The award will lose its prestige if a joker becomes the MC."

"I don't know. I've never heard of him being an MC. But he seems confident so he will probably do fine." Max said.

They talked for a while and ordered coffee from the barista. Soon, the room's door opened and Flexy walked inside.

"Hi, guys! Sorry I'm late!" He exclaimed, "I have to prepare my customized avatar for tomorrow's event, so I was a bit late. I hope you guys aren't waiting for me for too long!"

"It's fine, Flexy." Max said. "You're not that late. But we have to hurry to the gathering. It will start soon."

"Yeah. Let's enter the Streamer Wars' Lobby."

They all nodded, and the three of them went to the gathering.

As expected, the gathering was packed. Everyone arrived pretty early in the Lobby and made a group.

Streamer Wars' Lobby, the gathering area, looked like a luxurious ballroom in a palace, with a beautiful chandelier and a large crystal in the center of the ceiling.

White round tables were put in a few places with various foods that were refilled infinitely. While they couldn't fill the streamers' stomach, at least they could be tasted and add some taste to the atmosphere.

Many people, more than a hundred streamers, had gathered in this ballroom to enjoy themselves and socialize.

Some were interviewing other streamers, while some with their friends discussing their plans for tomorrow's event while others were chatting with each other, enjoying themselves in the festive atmosphere.

Everyone was dressed nicely, with many streamers wearing expensive-looking outfits.

There were a lot of streamers, and the variety of them was astonishing. There were streamers of all shapes and sizes, ranging from young children to old men and women. They all wore different outfits and had unique avatars, but they shared a common interest in streaming.

VTubers were wearing their signature clothes, from the ones in the top rank to the one in the middle of the rank.

Some of them had even brought their pets, and the place was a lively and chaotic place. The room was full of streamers and their fans, and they all mingled with each other.

Among the crowd were three individuals who stood out from the rest: Max, MadLad and Flexy. They immediately became the center of attention, especially Max.

"Hey, that's Breeze." One of them whispered as she spotted him.

"You're right."

"He's so handsome!"

Max felt like he was being stared at by many pairs of eyes. It was as if he was in a spotlight. He smiled awkwardly at everyone and waved at them. "Hi," he said, trying to look casual.

"Hi!" Many of them responded. "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," Max said. "It's nice to see so many streamers here."

He then looked around and saw some familiar faces.

Among them, he managed to spot Lily and the two others, Princess Peach and Amelia, who had just arrived. They were standing close to the entrance, and they looked stunning. He smiled at them, and they smiled back at him.

Both groups met up in a few seconds.

"Did you have fun talking to them?" Max asked quietly as he stood next to Lily.

Before them, Amelia and Princess Peach teased MadLad.

Meanwhile, Flexy had gone with the staff to talk about tomorrow's preparation.

Lily, on the other hand, only smiled at Max and held his hand. "I had a lot of fun. We plan to go meet some... other girls later. Amelia said she would introduce me to her friends."

"Have fun." Max nodded, "I'll go talk with MadLad. He needs to be saved from Peach and Amelia's teasing."

Lily giggled. "Yeah, I can tell that he's in trouble."

The gathering officially began for real. Flexy, the MC, took the stage and gave his opening speech.

"Welcome to this year's Streamer Wars, I am Flexy, acting as your MC tonight." He said as the audience applauded, "It has been a wild ride for me, to be chosen as an MC in an event this big. But, it's an honor to be here with you guys. So, thank you."

His words were sincere and honest, making the audience laugh.

The streamers who had never seen Flexy's streams before looked at him in awe. He had the ability to draw in the audience, and they felt drawn to him.

Many people were live streaming this gathering in real time. Max decided not to and just enjoy this party. So, he just watched as Flexy introduced the staff and committee members of this year's event.

"Now then, let's introduce this year's event organizer. You may know him or at least know his face. He was in the top ten people you should know today. Let's give him a round of applause! Mr. Kaiden, the chairman of Punch as well as the organizer of Streamer Wars!" Flexy announced as a tall man with black hair and a sharp look came on the stage.

He looked at the audience and bowed before saying.

"Welcome to the gathering. I hope you enjoy it."

The crowd applauded, and Kaiden smiled, "Thank you all for coming to this gathering. I hope you'll enjoy the Streamer Wars this year. I only have a few words to say and will leave the party for the streamer to enjoy."

He paused and cleared his throat, "This is the first time that I'm organizing the Streamer Wars. As an event organizer for more than a decade, it has always been a pleasure of mine to host an event like this, which will help connect the world and its people through streaming. This event has become one of the most popular and important events of the year and it is a pleasure for me to host it."

Kaiden continued, "This event is important to the entire streaming community, and I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me. I want to say thank you to all of you. This event isn't just mine, but everyone's. I hope you all have fun."

He ended his speech and the crowd clapped, then he stepped away from the podium. The gathering continued, with Flexy introducing the next guest. The streamers who had been waiting patiently in line, and the streamers who had come to enjoy themselves, were excited to see the next guest.

When Max stood with MadLad on the corner, a group of streamers, each with a floating camera, approached them. One man smiled and spoke,

"Excuse me, Breeze. Can I take some pictures and interview you for our streaming channel? Hahaha."

Looking at them, Max was about to answer when MadLad suddenly frowned and raised his voice.

"Ha?! Get lost, fuckers!"
