Chapter 66: N University
The shop owner, a well-dressed girl, recognized An Wen and lent her a basin filled with warm water.
An Wen placed her phone on a stand and said in Country N's language, "I want to show you how I usually do my makeup, so everyone, please help invite more viewers! Pretty please!"
Clasping her hands together pitifully, she spoke in an adorable, soft voice.
[Really? Remove makeup and reapply?]
[The camera quality shows no filters—An Wen, you should turn on beauty mode.]
[I’ll go call people over!]
[A true natural beauty.]
...
An Wen only then realized she was streaming completely raw, without any filters. But wasn’t that even more appealing? She decided against turning on beauty mode.
As she began removing her makeup, the live stream’s viewer count had already surged past 10,000 and was still climbing—a significant number in Country N.
Meanwhile, a Chinese national in Country N recorded the stream and posted it on domestic platforms, where it quickly trended on Hot Search. Bullet comments were flooded with Country N’s netizens marveling at the beauty of Chinese women.
[Chinese people are all so good-looking—I’ve watched their dramas, and their features are flawless.]
[Her skin is unreal.]
[I can’t believe what I’m seeing is real.]
[She completely outshines Country N’s beauties.]
...
The person who uploaded the video claimed An Wen’s beauty was bringing glory to their country, and it even trended on Country N’s Hot Search.
The video, still in raw quality, showed An Wen’s skin so flawless it looked naturally airbrushed.
This drew countless Chinese netizens to climb the digital wall and join the live stream.
After removing her makeup, An Wen began washing her face, speaking in slightly broken Country N’s language: "This facial cleanser is from a long-standing Chinese brand. It’s super effective at removing leftover makeup and leaves my skin super clean and smooth afterward."
A free advertisement for domestic cosmetics.
After drying her face, she applied toner. Nearly all the products she used were Chinese, though not cheap.
As she applied each skincare item, An Wen gave brief introductions. One of them was a moisturizer from Country N, which she honestly praised.
Domestic and international viewers watched her skin in awe, mentally taking notes—they wanted to buy the same products.
Once skincare was done, makeup began. An Wen continued recommending cosmetics, many of which were Chinese.
"Honestly, I don’t have any special techniques—I just blend everything evenly in the mirror," she said while applying foundation.
With skin as flawless as hers, concealer was unnecessary. After foundation, she simply set it with setting powder.
The bullet comments erupted in envy.
[Her skin is too perfect—I spend ages on concealer.]
[Bare-faced has its charm, but with makeup, she’s a whole new beauty.]
...
An Wen moved on to her eyebrows, which were already well-shaped and easy to fill in. She introduced the eyebrow pencil she used.
Next was eye makeup.
"I usually go for light makeup—brown eyeliner and eyeshadow that mimics a bare-faced look."
She pulled out a Chinese eyeshadow palette. "This one has gorgeous packaging and shades perfect for a natural look. Highly recommended."
An Wen applied a light pink eyeshadow within her eyelid area, blending it softly. With a brown eyeliner, she drew a smooth line along her lash line, slightly extending it at the outer corner for a natural droop.
Then she said, "Brown or coffee-colored eyeliner will appear softer than black, less sharp but equally expressive. When applying eyeliner, remember to blend it well with your eyeshadow for a more natural finish."
An Wen explained in detail as she applied her makeup. After finishing her eye makeup, she playfully winked her left eye and said, "So, how does it look? Pretty, right?"
She skipped contouring since her face shape was already ideal, and simply applied lipstick.
A light makeup look was now complete.
An Wen asked, "Well? Did you all learn something?"
Bullet comments flooded the screen again, and only then did An Wen notice that the live stream had surpassed 7 million viewers. Surprised, she asked, "Are this many people really watching?"
The bullet comments scrolled rapidly.
An Wen packed away her cosmetics and answered questions in her somewhat broken Country N's language. She then realized many Chinese netizens had joined the stream and thanked them in Chinese.
The coffee shop owner was very kind, offering An Wen lunch and coffee. After finishing her meal, An Wen said, "Now that I’ve got my energy back, don’t leave, everyone! I’ve decided to livestream playing a game."
【Really?】
【What game? Let’s play together】
...
She played PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), announcing, "Let’s begin."
An Wen seemed like a completely different person while gaming—dominating the battlefield with flashy moves that left her opponents fuming.
When she noticed someone sniping at her from a distance, she started dodging with stylish maneuvers and even danced for the live audience.
Her teammates were thrilled to discover she was An Wen. One of them was also streaming, cracking jokes as they chatted and fought side by side.
The bullet comments were filled with playful banter.
An Wen attracted another wave of viewers, and though some sent virtual gifts, she declined them all.
"Just having you here watching is more than enough—no need to spend money."
After a few rounds, it was just past 1 PM, so An Wen sat down to chat with her audience. Her Country N's language skills were still lacking, so she often had to ask for translations.
By this point, the live stream’s popularity had reached 10.06 million, breaking the app’s record.
At exactly 2 PM, the director sent them a message: An Wen ranked first with 10.06 million viewers, followed by Xia Jin with 9.56 million, and so on.
An Wen and Xia Jin’s numbers weren’t just from Country N—they also included contributions from Chinese viewers and international audiences watching Country N’s streams.
An Wen’s team came in first, and a car took the three of them to a building at N University.
They scouted the terrain for about half an hour before the other members arrived. As soon as everyone gathered, a group of Black-Clothed People appeared, forcibly blindfolding everyone and taking them to separate locations.
The scene descended into chaos.
An Wen was led into a room. Hearing the Black-Clothed People leave and close the door behind them, she stood there, unsure what to do.
Meanwhile, a bus parked outside N University’s teaching building, and nine people stepped out.
They were the resident guests of Country N’s Running Without Limits and three celebrity guests.
Park Sung from Country N’s team said, "This is so sudden—coming straight here like this."
"N University, we’re back!" Song Won-soon cheered.
As the nine entered, the Black-Clothed People emerged again.
"What’s going on? The name tags in their hands are actually in Chinese," Bae Ji-won exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s true!"
The Black-Clothed People forcibly tore off the Name Tags in Country N's Language on their backs and replaced them with Name Tags in Chinese.
"Why is this happening?" Park Sung asked.
"What's the point of this?"
...
They were forcibly blindfolded and taken to separate locations.
"An Wen, please remove your blindfold," the cameraman said.
An Wen then took off her blindfold.
Afterward, a broadcast began: "Hello, members of 'Running Without Limits'! Welcome to N University."
It was announced once in Chinese, then repeated in Country N's language.
