TRMLCM Chapter 100
by VolareChapter 100: Clear Foolishness
Close to eight o’clock, before the livestream was about to start, Cheng Yi was busy, helping to put a soft cushion on the chair, then fetching a glass of warm water and placing it on the table. He was much busier than the owner of the livestream, Shen Chang’an, who was leisurely playing with his son.
After confirming everything was ready, he picked up his protesting son and sat back in his exclusive seat.
Shen Chang’an sat in front of the computer, with the spotlight on beside him. Cheng Yi looked at his face, puzzled. He couldn’t really see much difference before and after the makeup, he just felt that Shen Chang’an was much whiter, and his facial lines were more distinct and smooth.
He thought to himself that the person was still the same as usual, unlike what He Zhou had said about people looking like two different people before and after makeup.
“I’m starting the livestream.”
Shen Chang’an held the mouse and reminded Cheng Yi after glancing at the time.
Cheng Yi didn’t speak, nodding to signal his understanding.
Seeing this, Shen Chang’an directly clicked confirm.
As soon as the livestream started, fans who had been waiting for the time rushed in. The number of viewers in the livestream room rose rapidly. In less than a while, there were more than nine thousand people, and the number was still growing rapidly.
……
“An An, good evening!”
“An An, good evening!”
“Mwah~”
“Good evening”
“Such a punctual livestream, baby, you’re really my cutest baby”
“An An, good evening”
“I heard there’s a Big Brother here (dog head)”
……
Looking at the series of fast-scrolling comments, Shen Chang’an smiled gently and greeted his fans.
“Good evening, welcome everyone! A Fortune Bag has just been issued in the upper right corner, everyone go grab it with your Light Badges.”
Still the familiar words, the familiar process, with no novelty to speak of.
……
“An An, are you doing PK today?”
“Subscribed!”
“Is that Big Brother from yesterday still here? What about the instant red envelopes?”
“Same question, I also saw that video”
“Cy boss doesn’t seem to be here yet”
“Upstairs, sisters, ignore those rhythm-trolls, just focus on An An”
“Huh?”
“Miss, don’t mind her, we’re just chatting”
“Yeah, miss, is the Cy boss you’re talking about the one from last night?”
“Yes, Cy boss is An An’s Big Brother, every time he’s here, An An never loses a PK”
“Then why hasn’t Cy boss come yet?”
“I don’t know, maybe Cy boss is busy with something, he might come later”
……
Not long after the livestream started, many passersby who had watched the fans’ recordings from last night were attracted by the famous scene of someone waving their hand and sending nearly hundreds of large instant red envelopes. They stirred up trouble in the public chat, carrying rhythms with unspeakable expectations and malice.
The public chat was filled with smoke and miasma, and many fans with immature minds were easily deceived and followed their intentions to clear their doubts. The focus of the comments was led astray, and it was difficult to find messages from Shen Chang’an’s fans who were concerned about him.
You can’t just ban these people directly, as they don’t seem to deserve such a punishment, but letting them be unscrupulous in the livestream room feels like swallowing a fly, making people feel disgusted.
Shen Chang’an’s gentle face slowly disappeared, he tore off his mask of pretense, and looked coldly at the comments without saying a word.
Cheng Yi, who had been watching him across the table, immediately noticed the moment his emotions changed.
Originally, there was a delay in watching the livestream on his phone, and this person was right in front of him, so Cheng Yi didn’t bother to take out his phone to watch.
The moment he turned off the sound and entered the livestream room to see the comments, Cheng Yi’s face also darkened.
The berber in his arms moved restlessly. Cheng Yi frowned and looked at his phone, not bothering to pay attention to it. He only stretched out one hand to protect it to ensure it wouldn’t fall off his lap.
The livestream room was silent for more than twenty seconds, with only background music playing softly.
……
“Shh, be quiet”
“Everyone be quiet”
“Why isn’t An An talking?”
“Quiet, quiet, An An is angry”
“Don’t ask anymore, the arrival and departure of the boss is not something we and the streamer can decide. How can things like pies falling from the sky be so easy? Watch if you want, leave if you don’t”
“Sister, domineering (thumbs up)”
“Protect our An An baby”
“Heh, do you think I want to watch? A bunch of idiots”
“That’s right, if you don’t have money, just say you don’t have money. If the Big Brother is gone, just say it directly, why make us wait so long”
“Mods, do your work now @Strawberry Mousse Little Cake”
“Coming, coming”
“An An, don’t be angry, we were wrong”
“Don’t ignore us”
……
Shen Chang’an shook his head and said with a chuckle, “Would you believe me if I said I wasn’t angry?”
In those silent twenty seconds, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t angry at all, but for most of the time, Shen Chang’an had been thinking about how to solve this problem.
Many of his fans were ignorant little girls without organization or leadership, who were easily swayed by other people’s opinions, which really gave him a headache.
It was like leading an army into battle. His soldiers had the numbers, they had the strength, but they lacked organization and discipline. Their strength was scattered and couldn’t be twisted into a single rope.
After thinking for a moment, he said with a smile, “Then let’s practice our troops today.”
*
This “practice troops” wasn’t the kind of thing where you constantly spend small amounts of money to show the cohesiveness of your fans during a PK.
Instead, it was starting from scratch, starting from the fans’ every word and deed.
As a big family, the streamer was the head of the household, the fans were the children in the family, and the bosses were guests who had come from afar.
The children should obey the head of the household and not refute, influence, or manipulate the head of the household’s thoughts and opinions. When dealing with dark-hearted people who suddenly try to destroy the harmony of the family, they must bravely fight against them and lock them out of the door.
The head of the household should carefully care for and love the children, so that the children feel the warmth of the big family, have a sense of belonging and honor to the family, and maintain the reputation of the family.
The head of the household and the children should respect the guests who come with heavy gifts, so that the guests feel like they have returned to their own home and receive countless care and love, and finally integrate into the big family.
In simple terms, it was similar to brainwashing, allowing fans to spontaneously work for the streamer and maintain a good environment.
*
Haste makes waste. It’s definitely impossible to get the fans in the livestream room to do this instantly. It takes time to cultivate the fans’ sense of participation, belonging, and honor.
After discussing all the procedures with the fans, a connection request popped up.
Shen Chang’an: “Qiqi is connecting with me?”
He still remembered this name. He remembered he misunderstood that Cheng Yi was Qiqi’s fan.
Raising his eyebrows and looking at Cheng Yi behind the camera, a faint smile flashed in Shen Chang’an’s clear eyes.
He coughed lightly and said, “Let’s try what we just talked about.”
“Everyone get ready.”
With that, he clicked accept.
The livestream camera split into two, and Qiqi’s figure appeared on the right half.
Looking at Shen Chang’an’s delicate face, Qiqi couldn’t take her eyes off him and immediately said, holding her heart and sighing, “Oh, little handsome guy, long time no see, how are you still so handsome?”
Shen Chang’an was amused by her exaggerated appearance and smiled, “You flatter me, Sister Qiqi, you’re still so cute and beautiful after so long.”
Qiqi was tired of hearing flattering words, so she directly opened her mouth and said, “Want to play a round?”
Shen Chang’an nodded and smiled, “Of course, it would be an honor.”
……
The ten-minute countdown for the PK began, and both sides muted each other.
The thirty seconds of doubling passed quickly, and the red and blue sides chased each other without much difference.
After Shen Chang’an finished reading the last thank-you gift for those thirty seconds, he looked at the somewhat flustered fans and opened his mouth gently to comfort them.
“Everyone don’t worry, after a boss sends a gift, we can keep thanking them. If there are many bosses sending gifts, we’ll thank them slowly. Don’t mess up your formation, come on, you’re the best.”
With the idea of training his fans, Shen Chang’an’s mind was not on the PK for the most part. By the time he reacted, the second wave of bonus time had passed, and nearly 60,000 PK value bonus had not been completed, so after the second wave of bonus passed, Qiqi’s side directly surpassed him by more than 350,000 points.
Don’t ask why Cheng Yi didn’t do anything, he was propping his chin up and watching people with great interest.
An An, without his coldness, was so gentle in every move.
Berber looked at the small frame in front of him, then looked at Shen Chang’an in front of the computer. One blue and one yellow eye revealed a clear foolishness.
Huh, there are two identical two-legged beasts!
