Chapter 1140
What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 27
Zhu Tianlang's broadcast time is 8 PM.
He usually rests on Mondays and streams from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8 PM to midnight. In fact, after his stream ends, he will also take some time to interact with the top spenders in the live stream.
He doesn't show his face, and it's just him and Chen Mei at home. He doesn't need to prepare anything for the live stream; he just needs to make sure his voice is good enough to sing.
As soon as the live stream started, countless viewers flooded in, greeting him warmly. His nickname was Mei'er, taken from the name Chen Mei.
Seeing the barrage of greasy phrases like "Good evening, Mei'er," "Does Mei'er look even prettier today?" "I love Mei'er the most," and "I miss Mei'er," Zhu Tianlang felt a little disgusted, but still greeted everyone in a female voice, as gentle and beautiful as could be, making the viewers in the live stream feel a wave of tenderness.
But it has to be said that if you find the right direction for live streaming, making money is like picking it up off the street.
If he hadn't chosen this path from the start, he probably wouldn't have bothered dealing with these greasy men; it was quite an energy drain. After learning about the live-streaming industry, he discovered that women's money was also easy to extract, even easier than men's. At least for him, he could currently find several ways to make money off women.
However, he's making quite a profit right now, and unless it's absolutely necessary, it wouldn't be worthwhile to rashly switch strategies. Besides, if he were to switch strategies, his current, newly established account would essentially be rendered useless.
After all, he was impersonating a woman on the live stream, not using his own identity. This can't be exposed, otherwise, I can't even imagine what might happen.
Back in the live stream, Zhu Tianlang continued, first singing a song that drew cheers from the viewers. Whether they were big spenders or simply fans of her singing, they all spontaneously showered her with virtual gifts.
He usually sings for a while, chats for a while, and occasionally has a PK battle; several hours pass just like that.
Before ending the broadcast, Chen Mei had already ordered takeout.
By the time the live stream ends, the food delivery will be on its way.
After turning off the live stream, Zhu Tianlang casually lay down on the sofa. Live streaming is easier and more lucrative than other jobs, but dealing with people is exhausting.
He was still holding his phone, because he needed to thank the kind people who had sent him gifts and voted for him earlier that day. He knew these people's personalities very well.
There are people who genuinely like his singing, and people who like his singing but also like the old perverts he praises. Everyone has a different way of dealing with it.
The guy he's chatting with right now, whose nickname is "The Future Is All You," has been visiting his livestream every day lately, gifting him at least 5,000 yuan daily. On one occasion, he gifted him 50,000 yuan in a single day.
Through their conversation, he had a basic understanding of her personality; she seemed to prefer women with a rustic, innocent style. Therefore, the best approach with someone like this was to be serious, polite, and naive, and to compliment her frequently. Playing dumb or pretending not to understand was also highly recommended.
Although he would send photos and videos to the "big brother" (the male viewers), they were never particularly explicit; they were always suggestive, with slightly different camera angles to suit the tastes of the men in the livestream. What they thought was irrelevant; anyone who sent him gifts was a good "big brother."
As Chen Mei watched the food delivery notification on her phone approach, she walked over to Zhu Tianlang, glanced at his phone screen, and whispered to him, "The food delivery is almost here."
"Okay, this guy's a bit difficult. He's been very generous with gifts lately, so I'll have to deal with him a bit longer." Zhu Tianlang said without looking up. Although he kept typing, his expression was actually quite impatient.
This person named "The Future Is All Yours" is generous, but also long-winded. If it weren't for the fact that this person spends at least five thousand yuan every day, he wouldn't want to talk to such a person at all.
The sweet nothings the other person said made me want to laugh and vomit at the same time.
If he were to say something like that to women these days, they'd probably think he's crazy.
But he had no choice; he still needed to swindle money from the other party, so he could only go along with it.
"This guy is so annoying, he's asking me for photos of himself again." Zhu Tianlang's tone was a little unpleasant. Chen Mei looked troubled: "I can't give that to him."
She's very ordinary-looking; if you showed her her photo, my brother would probably run away overnight.
Zhu Tianlang's is even worse. He's a man, and even if he's dressed as a woman, he's easily recognizable unless it's heavily photoshopped.
Zhu Tianlang has always only provided photos of himself other than his face.
He doesn't give out fake photos mainly because he's afraid some people might take it seriously and insist on finding the person who posted them, only to be told they're fake, which would then require him to resolve the issue. In his view, fake photos aren't a serious problem, but avoiding them altogether is best.
"How about I Photoshop my photo and send it to him?" Chen Mei said. "Anyway, it's heavily photoshopped, so there's no way I could find him in real life."
"Let's forget it," Zhu Tianlang thought for a moment and shook his head. "With technology so advanced these days, what if someone with good skills recovers the photos and exposes the real ones? How will we be able to continue this live stream?"
Chen Mei wasn't ugly, but she wasn't exactly beautiful either.
However, in a place teeming with beautiful women online, these guys probably really do think she's a bit ugly.
Remember the last streamer whose beauty filter failed? He still hasn't been able to make a successful comeback, and his patron had to run away overnight.
What he was worried about wasn't whether it was ugly or beautiful.
The real issue is that if Chen Mei's identity is exposed, and it gets linked to his livestreaming disguised as a woman, and people find out, will he still be able to continue in this line of work? This is clearly more serious than beauty or ugliness.
Just then, "The Future Is All You" on the other end sent another message, which immediately made it impossible for Zhu Tianlang to look away.
The future belongs to you: When we're competing tomorrow, I'll give you 100,000 votes, just so I can see what the fairy looks like, okay?
Not to mention Zhu Tianlang, even Chen Mei's heart was racing when she saw it.
Live streaming is indeed almost like picking up money.
One photo is worth 100,000.
"Should I give it to you?" Chen Mei swallowed and asked softly, no longer paying attention to the delivery.
One hundred thousand! Before Zhu Tianlang started doing live streaming, she never dared to imagine that a single photo could be worth one hundred thousand.
These people on the internet are really too rich. They actually spend 100,000 yuan to buy photos. I don't know how they make money like that.
Zhu Tianlang slapped his forehead and replied to the other person: "Brother, it's too late today. Get some rest. Staying up late isn't good for you, it's bad for my skin too. As for the photos, let's see if there's a PK tomorrow. It gives me a day to think about it. I don't usually show my face during my livestreams, and I don't plan to. I haven't shown any photos to anyone yet, so I need to think about it."
After the chat ended, Chen Mei asked, "Still not giving it to me?"
"If he really can spend 100,000 tomorrow, I'll give it to him." Zhu Tianlang casually tossed his phone onto the sofa, leaned back against a cushion, and said with a smile, "That's 100,000, of course I'll give it to him." (End of Chapter)
