Chapter 23
: Black and Red are Still Red, Let's Start Broadcasting!
"Here it comes!"
"I'll scan first!"
"I'll scan one too!"
"Wow! As expected of a master, the collection list is full of top-quality items!"
"Wow, I've followed this streamer too!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, that's fine!"
……
Everyone beamed with joy and engaged in lively conversation.
Ye Tian secretly realized something was wrong. He had forgotten to set up a private account. Oh well, you can't set it to private when you're streaming anyway.
"what?"
Su Linglan looked at the screen with a surprised expression.
Ye Tian was taken aback. Could it be that Su Linglan had seen all 10086 videos of beautiful women that he had liked?
"What's wrong?" Ye Tian leaned over to look.
Su Linglan quickly moved her phone away. "I'm not showing it to you."
"Let me see," Ye Tian said, leaning closer.
Su Linglan moved her body again.
In his haste, Ye Tian tripped and accidentally knocked Su Linglan to the ground.
With a "thud," Su Linglan landed on her bottom, and her phone also crashed to the ground with a "bang," the screen shattering and going black—completely broken!
"hiss……"
Ye Tianren was stunned. Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max really that fragile?
"Well……"
Su Linglan leaned on the ground, her hair disheveled, tears welling in her eyes, looking so aggrieved she was about to cry.
Ye Tian sighed softly, handed his phone to Su Linglan, and said, "You can use my phone. I'll buy you a new one once I've made some money from my live streams."
Su Linglan looked at Ye Tian and whispered, "Aren't you afraid I'll mess with your phone?"
"Go ahead and move if you want, what am I supposed to do about it?" Ye Tian said, turning his head away.
"Really?" Su Linglan asked in surprise.
"real."
"Hehe, forget it. There are so many, I can't even delete them all. Oh no, it's unnecessary. Um, it's just that if I use your phone, you won't have a phone to use, right? You might as well help me fix my phone." Su Linglan grinned.
"Either is fine~" Ye Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Guo Mingjie walked over and handed over a cell phone, saying, "If you don't mind, you can use this spare phone of mine for now. It's not the latest model, but it's still an Apple, an iPhone 15. How about it? Can we discuss the details later?"
Ye Tian looked at Guo Mingjie with some approval, took the phone from him, and said, "Okay!"
……
Inside the office.
Guo Mingjie sat upright on one side, while Ye Tian and Su Linglan sat on the other side.
Su Linglan was playing with her iPhone 15, ordering a new one online, and consulting with after-sales service about how to repair and transfer data, while also listening to the conversation between the two.
Guo Mingjie: "There are videos of you cheating all over the internet right now, but nobody knows that it's you because they only see video clips of you kicking Haotian, punching Linshu, and beheading Zuoshen on the central control bridge."
"And then what? What am I supposed to do?" Ye Tian asked.
Guo Mingjie: "Start your live stream using your account with the ID 'Ye Qiu Ba'! As long as you start streaming, people will see it! I'll arrange for a few people to send comments in the live stream. Of course, they won't just spam '666,' they'll send some useful guiding information. For example, 'Isn't this streamer the one who cleared the map with 12 kills in 'Jue Hang'? The ID is the same!' Then I'll find a few videos and post them, it'll spread like wildfire, really, within two hours of you starting your stream, you'll definitely be trending!"
"I'm sure a lot of people will criticize me then, right?" Ye Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Being criticized is still being criticized! How can someone who wants to achieve great things not suffer some grievances? If I had your abilities, I'd be eager to start broadcasting right now! Of course, it's late now, so I'll have someone send you some pictures and videos to help you get some attention. Tomorrow night, you can just come here and start broadcasting," Guo Mingjie said enviously.
"Understood."
Ye Tian looked at the message Guo Mingjie had sent him on his phone, feeling rather mocking.
Text 1: Brothers, we found the guy who punched Haotian, kicked Linshu, and killed Zuoshen under the bridge. This is his homepage. This cheater actually dares to stream? Brothers, let's smash his stream tomorrow night at 8 PM!
Text 2: Surely there's someone who doesn't know Ye Qiu's Douyin (TikTok) account number, right? By the way, where did he buy it? How much did it cost? I want to buy one too!
Copywriting 3...
Then, following the account mentioned, click into the homepage.
The profile picture is of a CF (Crossfire) veteran of ten years carrying a backpack and spinning in a spiral while firing a gun.
The introduction is simple: a ten-year veteran relocated to the Delta Force, wondering if he can still pack his bags here? Live stream every night at 8 PM.
And the number of followers jumped from a pitiful 1 to 985 in just a short chat, then to 996, and then to 1001...
It's rising almost visibly.
Looking at his private messages, they were all filled with people sending him related promotional videos, and some were even asking him if he was using a scam.
Ye Tian was both amused and exasperated. He couldn't very well reply with a simple "no," could he? Even if he did, the netizens wouldn't believe him. So, he turned around and replied to one of them with a single sentence: "See you in the live stream tomorrow night at 8 PM."
The person immediately sent several angry emojis!
Ye Tian is numb; it's better not to go back.
……
The next day.
Jia Shi Internet Cafe.
Su Linglan got a new phone, but insisted on going to the restroom to touch up her makeup first.
Guo Mingjie prepared a venue for Ye Tian, and it was quite a grand affair!
The large internet cafe had been mostly emptied out, leaving only a few rows of computers on the sides. A special spectator stand was set up, with two computers and a vertical, tablet-like monitor on it, where the streamer and viewers could see each other. The viewers mainly watched Ye Tian's gameplay through the large screens on the left and right sides.
"Boss Guo, you've really gone all out!" Ye Tian exclaimed.
Guo Mingjie chuckled, "How could this not be luxurious, prepared for a supernova like you?"
"You're too kind," Ye Tian said with a slight smile.
Going on stage for a live broadcast later feels glamorous, like performing at a gala. I don't know if I can handle it.
Just then, a piercing sound came from behind.
"Ye Tian?!"
"Didn't we break up? How did you end up here?!"
"Baby, don't be angry. I'll talk to him and make things clear. I can handle this myself!"
Wang Qian?
Ye Tian frowned slightly and turned around to see his ex-girlfriend Wang Qian walking towards him angrily. She was still wearing a JK uniform today, but this time she was also wearing white stockings.
"Ye Tian, I know you're very sad and want to get back together, but matters of the heart aren't something you can decide alone. I'm having a 'Delta Force' session with my boyfriend right now, so please don't bother us, OK?" Wang Qian said in a dramatic tone.
Guo Mingjie asked cautiously, "Is this your ex-girlfriend?"
Ye Tian said bitterly, "You flatter me."
Guo Mingjie: "Do you need my help?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "No need, I will handle it myself."
"Hey, I'm talking to you! With your attitude, you can't blame me for breaking up with you! You have no backbone at all! My current boyfriend came to the internet cafe because of the Big Red Action S2 competition that Douyin and Delta have recently launched. More than 400 streamers have signed up! He's going to participate in the Big Red Cup! He came to the internet cafe to warm up and borrow the space to stream! And what about you? Look at yourself now, what's the difference between you and a piece of trash? Can you please stop embarrassing yourself like this?" Wang Qian said angrily.
Just then, Su Linglan jogged over and said brightly, "Xiao Tian, I'm ready, let's begin~"
"Xiao Tian?!"
Wang Qian was taken aback and turned her head to look. The newcomer was youthful and beautiful, poised and elegant, wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and tight jeans. She had big eyes and a pretty face, with a pure and alluring charm like a girl next door. Wasn't this the campus belle of Yangcheng University?
Could it be that she's with Ye Tian?
