At 6:30 PM, just as the major forums were starting to liven up, an inconspicuous livestream room quietly opened.
Upon seeing the streamer's name and the people inside, the viewer count quickly skyrocketed from a few hundred to several million!
It lagged twice during this period, but every time it restarted, everyone noticed that the streamer's level had increased.
"Awesome! Officer Huang's money power is incredible! He became a Gold Diamond tier in no time, traffic boosted! Hahahahaha."
"Goldfish's birthday! Is this a livestream for Goldfish's birthday!? Officer Huang, you are an absolute legend!"
"I was just worrying that we wouldn't be able to see it. Officer Huang treats us the best!! I knew he cared about us!!"
"Hotpot! Sister Ma! Look at our Valk!"
"Push the guy above me out!!"
"Say, I just saw a flash of the ingredients... Fam, it's a full Star Beast feast!"
After confirming that the livestream was no longer lagging, Huang Yan set up the camera and returned to his seat.
Today, he no longer had the embarrassment and nervousness he felt eight days ago.
His gaze swept over Hiranuma Yusho, who was wearing a Goldfish T-shirt with a stiff expression, and a few others wearing Goldfish headgear... The ones who should be nervous were someone else.
The viewers watching the livestream were also shocked.
"What kind of scale is this!! How come our Valk is also involved!?"
"I have a bad feeling about this, don't tell me the First Military Academy is also... He Siyu! Ahhh! He Siyu!!"
"Wealthy Boss Huang sent Starship x10"
"The Wang Family Across the Street sent Starship x10"
"A Few Little Goldfish sent Starboat x10"
"Santorini! Santorini is the most beautiful!"
"Yuying... What should I even say about you guys?"
"The Bear Family sent Aircraft x10"
"Holy crap! Are the people sending gifts up there the bosses of Yida and Taihe!? Mom, Dad, look at your child whom you've never met!"
"Hahaha, the parents are all here!"
"I knew QL's Big Threat would never let me down!"
"Am I hallucinating? Are those people over there wearing work uniforms with the four avatars of the Big Threat the big shot mecha masters from the military?"
"Chai Ran!!! What happened to you, Chai Ran? Blink if you're being threatened!"
"...He's obviously enjoying it."
"Qilin's influence is way too huge!?"
On the livestream, David ran quickly into the tent.
"He's coming, he's coming! Goldfish is about to come in, everyone get ready!"
The people on both sides of the door quickly got into position, holding the sparklers made by Leola.
Jian Jingyu was blindfolded, with Wang Tianwei and Zhang Lyra supporting him on his left and right as he walked in.
The young man obviously knew the team's routine, and right now he was grinning from ear to ear with a silly smile!
"Hehehehe~ Sister Ma, check if my optical computer has started recording! Adjust the angle for me, don't miss anything!"
Little did he know that the twenty or so people right in front of him blushed even harder when they heard his words.
Taylor and Barry simply pulled their Goldfish headgear all the way down. Wang Tianwei was right, turning 18 is very important! In order to leave an unforgettable memory for their comrade...
Wuwuwu, their dignity! Their dignity!!!
Hearing this, Wang Tianwei looked at Goldfish's optical computer and didn't forget to wink at the virtual screen that was recording.
"No problem! Alright, alright, just stand here!"
Jian Jingyu excitedly clasped his hands together.
"Is it starting now? I'm not ready yet!"
"Take off the blindfold!"
The moment the blindfold was removed, Jian Jingyu's mouth dropped open in an O shape of surprise!
"So many people!"
Fu Xingyuan and Wu Pingzhuo, who were guarding the door, set off the sparklers in their hands. Colorful confetti fell from the sky, landing on the heads and shoulders of the three people in the middle!
Huang Yan tapped on his optical computer, and the Happy Birthday song started playing. Wang Tianwei and the others who weren't in their spots quickly returned to the formation, running to the very front to lead the dance!
At the very back stood four mechas side by side, which were also dancing to the music at this moment. This was already the maximum number that could fit inside the tent!
The soldiers of the Third Military Region, security personnel, and over twenty military mecha masters standing to the side watched with great relish!
Everyone had finished their work ahead of time in order to attend tonight's birthday party. Of course, they would still have to return to their respective posts later.
But that didn't affect their happiness at this moment.
"Hahaha, that little girl Wang Tianwei sure has a lot of things in her spatial button, and a lot of ideas too!"
"Were all these banners and billboards prepared in advance? How thoughtful!"
"I even helped make that shining disco ball on the ceiling! Guess what material it is?"
"It can't be mutated beast scales, right..."
"Hahahaha!"
Jian Jingyu's smiling eyes curved into thin slits. Just recording a video wasn't enough; after seeing the birthday blessing messages sent by his parents on his optical computer, he simply started a video call with them directly.
"Dad, Mom! Look quickly, my classmates are celebrating my birthday for me! Hahahahaha."
Facing the enlarged image of Chief Judge Jian on the virtual screen, many students' movements grew increasingly stiff.
As Hiranuma Yusho danced, he didn't even know what he was doing anymore... Was a super-grade transforming mecha really important enough for him to sell his soul?
Huang Yan reminded them with a smile from the side.
"Loosen up, there's no going back now."
Hiranuma Yusho's pupils trembled wildly. In that instant, he figured everything out!
Huang Yan just wanted to drag everyone down with him, so that his own embarrassment wouldn't count as embarrassment!
So this was your plan all along, you bastard?
Meeting Hiranuma Yusho's shocked and accusing gaze, Huang Yan wasn't fazed in the slightest. He even smoothly spun around to the music.
"Friendly reminder: on this kind of occasion, the stiffer your movements, the easier it is to be remembered. If you get singled out and zoomed in on..."
Before he could even finish his sentence, Hiranuma Yusho's movements had already become impeccably standard!
Although he might not be as agile as Wang Tianwei in the front, compared to Taylor and the others beside him, his dancing was the kind that you couldn't find fault with.
"Heh."
Wang Kaiyu, on the other hand, danced without any psychological burden. He was somewhat familiar with Jian Jingyu and knew that he took great care of his sister when they were in Qilin.
Whether from the livestreams or their real-life interactions, he actually liked this guy quite a bit and genuinely wanted to wish him a happy birthday from the bottom of his heart.
Lucas, meanwhile, managed to dance the set of Goldfish Dance with the ceremonial feel of a calisthenics routine!
He seemed to have endless energy radiating from his entire body. For Sister Ma, for his comrades! For the transforming mecha! He could do anything!
When he noticed that Xu Mo beside him wasn't trying hard enough, he even went over and gave him a kick.
"Dance properly!"
"...Are you possessed by something?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Jian Jingyu laughed so hard he was bending back and forth. He had so much prestige to have this many people dancing a birthday dance for him!
His teammates were truly capable! So this was the reason why those classmates had been avoiding him all along?
As the song ended, the twenty or so people formed the shape of a Goldfish in front of him.
"Happy birthday, Goldfish!"
"Happy birthday!!"
