"Oh dear, you really don't know anything~" Miss Cat said, "It's that amazing person who developed the new drug and led everyone to create the live streaming room—the great Mr. SHEEP~"

Mei: Listen to me, thank you...
Chapter 74, number 074
Upon hearing the name SHEEP, Jian Yunxian and Yi Heye both fell silent.
As the saying goes, sheep fear becoming famous, and lambs fear growing fat.
This dear Mr. Sheep has probably become synonymous with "bloodshed" among the people, so even though he himself has been so well-behaved that he has almost retired recently, there are still enthusiastic fans who come to remind him of his existence from time to time.
What's even more absurd is that these seemingly outrageous things suddenly become strangely reasonable after being labeled with the name SHEEP.
At this moment, Yi Heye really wanted to see Jian Yunxian's expression, to see how this omnipotent and all-powerful deity would react to being "reported to his face".
Jian Yunxian coughed twice, then quickly regained his composure and said, "Really? I'm really looking forward to it."
Miss Cat was busy flirting with someone, waved to him, then hooked her toe and followed him off for a "friendly exchange."
Seeing that the person had walked away, Jian Yunxian took advantage of the bustling crowd, lowered her head, secretly covered her mouth, and whispered into her earpiece, "Xiao Ye, I..."
"Shh! Don't talk to me." Yi Heye couldn't stand him calling him "Xiao Ye" and was even more afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he quickly interrupted him.
That guy could only take a deep breath and grit his teeth to continue wandering around the live stream.
The live streaming room in front of us is exquisitely decorated. The main hall is decorated to the standards of a top-tier nightclub, and its area is large enough to accommodate thousands of people at the same time. It's like a public square in a game, where everyone logs in, interacts, and gathers together.
Along the long corridor to the side were rows and rows of single rooms that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. Jian Yunxian walked over and noticed that the room catalog showed several different types of rooms—
There are three types of rooms: an official store where you can buy items with universal currency, a trading market where members of the live stream can trade live, and private rooms where you can create your own room and invite friends to join and "play".
Jian Yunxian first browsed the official store and found that all the items were sold out, with no items available or a product list—it was probably not time for new products to be released yet.
He then went to the trading market, where many members were setting up stalls to sell various items, including electronic filters, bulk drugs, and online drug addiction aids...
These were all good things I'd heard of before but hadn't had a chance to try. Jian Yunxian casually bought a few archives at a high price. Just as Yi Heye was about to download them, a line of text appeared on the screen:
"This is SHEEP's exclusive resource, and it is not allowed to be sent to Song Zhouzhou."
Yi Heye smiled and made no further move.
Jian Yunxian browsed the list of private rooms again; each room clearly stated its requirements.
"Three men and three women, six people flying happily."
"Good dog is waiting online for owner to chat one-on-one."
"You take drugs, I'll suck your throat."
Yi Heye looked at the dazzling array of room names in front of him, then saw a line of text appear on the screen: "Help me pick one?"
This was clearly an attempt to find a room to wander around. The innocent Yi Heye stared blankly at these profound and enigmatic terms, blushing and confused, while vaguely sensing something was amiss—
Help! Although he didn't understand what all this meant, he really didn't want to see Jian Yunxian "flying happily" with someone else, didn't want to see Jian Yunxian "one-on-one" with a "good dog," and even less did he want to see Jian Yunxian being sucked while on drugs...
Until he saw a name appear in the list: "Pure ED room for otaku".
He doesn't understand what an ED person is; he only knows "pure fangirling," which means they probably won't do anything else.
“This is it,” Yi Heye said firmly.
Jian Yunxian didn't move, and after a long while, she sent him an ellipsis: "..."
Yi Heye tensed up, realizing something was amiss, and immediately frantically looked up the meaning of ED—
"Erectile dysfunction," also known as impotence, is commonly referred to as "inability to get an erection."
"..."
Yi Heye also fell silent, but still stubbornly said, "It's okay. Chen Sang said that this is what happens when you ship too much. It's a sacrifice for the sake of the persona."
Feeling utterly wronged, Jian Yunxian pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation and forced himself to go inside.
Pushing open the door, unlike the KTV room that Yi Heye had expected to accommodate a dozen or so people, what lay before him was a cathedral with hundreds of seats, with about fifty people scattered around inside, all sprawled out in various positions.
In the center of the stage, a virtual projection showed a pastor delivering a passionate sermon:
"We don't need to feel inferior because we can't get an erection. It's a sign of our evolution, proving that our bodies have moved beyond the base pleasures of sex and are now focused on enjoying purer, more intense pleasures..."
Although the people in the audience were all dazed from taking the drugs, they still gave him a strong response when they heard this – taking drugs and receiving psychological counseling was indeed a comprehensive and thoughtful service.
Amidst applause, Yi Heye saw a line of text appear on the screen: "I actually think what he said makes a lot of sense."
Yi Heye quickly said, "Quickly put away your dangerous thoughts!"
Jian Yun smiled and then found a seat.
There were several people around him who appeared to be kowtowing. The reason I say "appeared" is because you can't see the USB drive that actually appeared offline online; you can only see their expressions, demeanor, and the simulated USB drive appearing.
This was a tremendous boon for a skilled actor like Jian Yunxian. He squinted, leaned back in his chair, and began his exquisite pantomime performance.
His performance quickly gained recognition from his peers, and within moments, he had added many friends on ED, with one even sending him a private message directly.
"Hey, beautiful, seeing you makes me feel like my lost sexual function has returned. My dear pretty baby, would you be willing to let your lovely little mouth be the cure for my reluctance to lift my head?"
Jian Yunxian deliberately displayed every word of the message on the screen so that Yi Heye could see it clearly.
Yi Heye, being so easily fooled, took the bait and practically jumped off his chair, blurting out, "Delete it now!"
Only after saying that did she realize she had overreacted, and blushing, she added, "It's an eyesore!"
Pretty Baby Benbei laughed, deleted and blocked the person in front of him, and then slowly walked out of the room.
Online transactions and online dating are common, with some chat rooms accommodating hundreds of people. Just browsing around reveals the sheer size of these chat rooms, prompting a stark reminder of the astonishing number of drug addicts lurking in the shadows of society.
Jian Yunxian wandered around the hall again. Perhaps it was because of his outstanding appearance and temperament, but just by walking around, countless men and women with unclear minds would stick up to him, wanting to have something happen with him.
Some people would come over and force contact without any explanation, and Yi Heye watched from the sidelines, extremely annoyed but unable to say anything, until he vaguely heard someone next to him say:
"Don't go looking for him! I just saw him coming out of the ED room! He's disabled!"
"Damn, no wonder! I was practically ready to pull down my pants and ride on his face, and he didn't even react!"
"What a waste of that face, otherwise I would have fucked him to death, sob sob..."
Yi Heye vaguely felt that this rhetoric sounded familiar, and then he saw Jian Yunxian sitting down in the hall.
The camera suddenly panned to a certain part of Jian Yunxian's body. Yi Heye focused his attention and scanned it, discovering that, just as the passersby had said, this guy had been hugged and kissed by a group of men and women the whole way, yet that part of him remained quietly dormant, showing no sign of rising...
If Yi Heye hadn't actually witnessed Mr. Jian's incredible battery life, he would have seriously doubted that Jian Yunxian was truly suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Once the image was adjusted (the angle was too high), the naming ceremony was about to begin.
In the video, the lights in the hall dimmed, and more and more people gathered around. Then, besides those with physical forms like Jian Yunxian, some accounts with voices but no physical form, or even no voice at all, just an ID, flooded into the live stream.
They then realized that devices like holographic helmets are expensive and not widely available, so not many people can afford to play this kind of game. The latter only requires a pair of headphones, or even just an online account, to participate, which is a live streaming method that more people who are so poor that they have to sell their property can afford.
This means that the number of people this live-streaming room can accommodate, that is, the number of people who have been exposed to this drug, is far more terrifying than they imagined.
Just then, as the audience settled down, the surrounding lights went completely dark, the noise froze instantly, and then a blinding laser light shone on the center of the dance floor.
Yi Heye and Jian Yunxian stared intently at that spot almost simultaneously, both curious about how this guy who was imitating them would appear.
Then, as the entrance music began, the rising platform in the center of the dance floor slowly rotated, and a familiar figure was lifted up.
When Yi Heye saw the smiling lamb appear before him, his first reaction was boundless annoyance—
Unlike the previous imitation where Blue Sheep's efforts were somewhat inadequate, this time, this guy completely stole SHEEP's image, looking exactly like her.
At this moment, he was standing in the center of the stage with a smile that Yi Heye knew all too well, enjoying the sea of cheers from the audience.
Yi Heye was furious. He wished he could enter the game and crush that imposter into mud.
At this moment, Xiao Yang danced a familiar dance to the music on stage. Yi Heye watched his movements, and if he remembered correctly, it was the same dance Xiao Yang had performed in front of everyone at the band party.
Damn it, I'm even angrier now.
At this moment, amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, a projection of a USB drive appeared on the large screen behind them, followed by lines of dialogue:
“Dear family members, our baby has been born for almost two years now, and we still don’t have a unified name for him, which has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
"Today, I have come here specifically to officially announce its new code name to everyone."
Then, the entire hall was filled with the artificial sound of racing heartbeats, and the PowerPoint presentation behind them began counting down.
"Its new name is Lost Lamb—it is it, and it is all of us."
Next, the little sheep in the center of the stage bowed to everyone. If I remember correctly, this is SHEEP's standard greeting before the end of each session.
"Welcome everyone to find your passion and direction here, my dear lost little lambs."
Author's Note:
Mr. Sheep, look how convincing the imposters are, while all you do is dance in public (x)
Chapter 75, number 075
To Yi Heye's surprise, when he saw the imposter in front of him doing bad things under his name, Jian Yunxian did not show the same extreme anger as he did.
He lurked in the crowd, arms crossed, watching with great interest. He even whistled like a hooligan and waved his arms, helping the fake sheep to build up the atmosphere to its peak.
He joined everyone in cheering, "SHEEP!! SHEEP!! SHEEP!!"
Looking at his crazy appearance, Yi Heye suddenly remembered that this guy was originally a notorious criminal with a very weak sense of morality. He was just acting like a decent person recently. How could he be fooled by this facade and really think that he was a good person?
Not only did I think he was a good person, I even...
Thinking of this, Yi Heye began to feel troubled again.
His feelings for Jian Yunxian were really troubling him; they were inexplicable, illogical, and utterly terrible.
In the scene, the chaotic lights made Yi Heye dizzy. Looking at Jian Yunxian, who was immersed in the performance, he couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans?"
It was too noisy on Jian Yunxian's end, and it took me a while to understand what he was saying. I typed a message for him: "No rush, let's take a look first."
Yi Heye couldn't interfere much, so he could only lean back in his swivel chair and watch the dazzling scene with some anxiety.
This is the second time. Following Fang Chunyang's Blue Sheep incident, this is yet another guy impersonating SHEEP to do bad things.
