Ta Tianqing
Chapter 29 Magical Reality
Lin Chen completed his first online live broadcast debut.
I have to say, he's currently a hot topic, and there are quite a few people in his live broadcast room.
As soon as the broadcast started, the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 100,000.
This is normal.
After all, the hottest topic on the entire Blue Star right now is the *New World* online game.
And Lin Chen just happened to become popular on the short video platform.
This live broadcast took the form of an interview.
The host was a Kuaishou up主 with 30 million fans, a girl with ridiculously long legs.
Because Kuaishou's official promoted the event vigorously, the position of the host actually went through a round of competition, after all, everyone knew that this was a good opportunity to attract fans.
This host girl, whose ID is "Luo Li is Not Lolita," finally stood out.
Long legs, lolita face.
And cute double ponytails.
And…
Quite an eye-catching dress.
But Lin Chen didn't even glance sideways. To be honest, Lin Chen saw her in person, and to say nothing else, the thickness of the foundation on her face made Lin Chen lose interest.
What's more, even with so much powder, her appearance still couldn't get a high score in Lin Chen's mind.
It's just that Kuaishou's filters are powerful.
After a polite greeting, Luo Li is Not Lolita opened her mouth and said, "I heard that your investment in the game has exceeded 10 million so far, is that right? I mean, since *New World* announced that it would shut down its servers."
"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded.
Then, the interview entered a question-and-answer session.
"Then, may I ask, where did all this money come from?"
"My parents' compensation, the school district house at home, as well as online loans and borrowed money, and the support of my friends."
"So much money, and you even sold the school district house, may I ask what exactly made you make such a decision?"
"I already said this when I was recording *Contemporary Youth*, but I can answer it again here... The reason why I did this is because of a dream I had, and I also felt that the world we live in would change, so I chose to take a gamble."
"What is the biggest investment in the game so far?"
"The fully strengthened Magic God Set! However, now I plan to replace it all with level 120 handmade equipment. I spent more than a million when I bought the Magic God Set."
"Isn't that a loss then? You only seemed to play with the million-dollar equipment for a few days."
"It won't be a loss."
"How is that possible? The prices in the *New World* game are falling sharply now!"
"Let's just say that some things, you might believe if you believe them. Now, I want to sell this set of equipment for three million. Whoever is willing to take the bait, do you believe someone will buy it?"
"I don't believe it. What if no one buys it?"
This host doesn't give Lin Chen much face.
Of course, based on Lin Chen's words, it would be strange if anyone believed him!
Because, from these words in the interview, everyone realized that Lin Chen might really be a big sucker!
After all, Lin Chen is playing a game that is about to be permanently shut down, and he is even selling his house and pouring money into it just because he had a dream... This reason is too ridiculous.
Moreover, Lin Chen also said nonsense like "you might believe if you believe them" in the conversation.
Aren't you talking nonsense?
How does it sound like a strong feeling of a cryptocurrency bigwig忽悠人 (hūyou rén - to deceive/swindle someone)?
Although the host doesn't give him face, she at least has to restrain her emotions and tone. The barrage in the live broadcast room doesn't care.
Now the number of people in the live broadcast room has reached hundreds of thousands.
Everyone couldn't help but complain.
"Believe if you believe? I believe your ghost, you're still dreaming... Hehe, I'm still dreaming, dreaming that I possess the姿 (zī - a majestic appearance) of a great emperor!"
"I originally thought he invested so much in a game that was about to close down because of feelings, but now he actually said it was because of a dream? Hehe, if he doesn't have bubbles in his brain, he must have a serious illness!"
"Here it comes, the biggest sucker of the century!"
"It's over, this kid's life is probably completely ruined."
"His appearance is not bad, yang and handsome, he doesn't look like someone with a serious brain problem, how could he do such a stupid thing?"
"Even his parents' compensation... Fuck, I really want to scold him: He's not human!"
The barrage rushed fiercely.
However, there are also some people who, whether out of feelings for the *New World* game, or out of kindness, under the glow of the Saint Mary halo, sympathize with Lin Chen, or simply like Lin Chen's appearance...
In short, there are also a few people who actually send barrages to support Lin Chen.
This is how this era is.
Even if you look like Feng Jie, you will have some die-hard fans.
Even if you are a clown, as long as you start a live broadcast and get a certain amount of exposure, you will attract some fans.
So when Lin Chen opened his own Kuaishou account, the number of fans actually reached 100,000, which was obviously unexpected to Lin Chen. After completing today's recording, Lin Chen originally planned to go back to rest.
However, Kuaishou's official found Lin Chen and suggested: "Your popularity is very high now, do you want to try broadcasting yourself in the afternoon? We will arrange some products for you to sell. Moreover, the profits from selling these products are very good."
Selling goods!
Some people say that the end of live broadcasting is selling goods.
In Dragon Country, live streaming to sell goods can be a national participation.
Even the celebrities in the entertainment industry, who once looked down on the live broadcast circle, have participated.
Lin Chen is not completely unprepared for this. After all, he had already agreed with Kuaishou to participate in selling goods. Now Lin Chen also needs funds. He knows that Kuaishou's official is also up to no good...
Products with high sales profits indicate that there must be defects in the quality of the products, or in some other aspect.
They are using Lin Chen as a one-time consumable influencer.
They don't care if Lin Chen's reputation for selling goods will be damaged by these products, and they don't care about Lin Chen's image. Everything is about profit first.
And Lin Chen?
In principle, whether out of social responsibility or out of responsibility to his fans, he should have rejected this situation, but Lin Chen agreed without thinking.
Product quality?
Hehe, the whole world is about to be destroyed!
Even if Lin Chen sells them, everyone won't wait until the day they receive the goods.
So Lin Chen doesn't care at all.
What Lin Chen needs now is funds.
After he collects the funds, he will have more supplies stockpiled in the game. At worst, in the future, these fans who have supported him, if they can survive the great cataclysm and find him, then he will give them some benefits in the future.
At that time, they will definitely not lose out!
So Lin Chen started the live broadcast to sell goods without any psychological pressure.
As a result, as soon as the live broadcast room opened, many haters poured in.
After all, Lin Chen is black-red.
Although it has also attracted many fans, haters account for the majority.
But Lin Chen turned a blind eye and calmly promoted and sold goods. With the help of some professional "live broadcast忽悠人 (hūyou rén - to deceive/swindle someone)" from Kuaishou's official, Lin Chen's first live broadcast achieved very good results...
Total sales reached 30 million!
And according to the agreement, Lin Chen can get a bonus of three million!
In the evening, the sales results were even better.
On the first day, Lin Chen earned eight million.
On the second day, Lin Chen even filled up the live broadcast time, one session in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another in the evening. Anyway, it was just about making money, and the acquisition in the game was all left to Zhang Chunlin.
There was also a small interlude during this period.
Xue Mo got Lin Chen's phone number from Bai Shuyi, and then called and said, "Do you really want to sell the Magic God Set? I feel like I can buy that set of equipment, will you sell it?"
"Three million, the game is going to shut down in two days, are you also crazy?" Lin Chen replied to her half-jokingly and half-teasingly.
On the other end of the phone, Xue Mo laughed and replied, "I'm not crazy. If I were crazy, then my泡 (pào - bubbles) wouldn't be as big as yours. First of all, I'm just supporting you! I watched your live broadcast, and there are endless videos analyzing you online. There are various opinions about you, but based on my understanding of you, I feel that your behavior is very similar to a 情怀党 (qíng huái dǎng - someone with sentimental feelings) of this game, but you are very rational... I'll just say it straight! Three million is nothing to me. Since you can invest so much, then I'll follow you and treat it as playing around. At the same time, it's also a friend's support for you."
What else can Lin Chen say?
I can only say that rich people are indeed capricious.
Perhaps, this is also why those cryptocurrency bigwigs can flourish.
A virtual 'currency' without any asset collateral, but the price is comparable to a mid-range car.
There are also some famous Blue Star忽悠人 (hūyou rén - to deceive/swindle someone) who can忽悠 (hūyou - deceive/swindle) others to invest hundreds of billions or thousands of billions at every turn, and even sell a so-called 'dream' and sell a listed company worth several thousand billions.
Many times, the real world is even more magical.
Xue Mo's meaning is very simple, this three million is not money to her at all, even if it is out of friendship, she will support Lin Chen.
For example, if Lin Chen wants to sell equipment, someone will really buy it!
Then, at this critical point, it can also shut up many haters.
There really is a fool who spends three million to buy a game equipment that is about to close down!
"I am happy to have a friend like you!"
Lin Chen didn't say too many words of thanks. Since Xue Mo wanted to buy it, he would definitely agree to sell it. Then Lin Chen announced the news in the live broadcast room, which once again set off a storm on the Internet...
"I'm numb, is there anyone more stupid than a fool, someone actually buys this equipment?"
"Cao! They have so much money, why don't they support the poor and send money to a mentally retarded person?"
"I'm really convinced, as expected, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest!"
"..."
"Haha, are the haters angry?"
Mixed reviews.
Lin Chen still calmly completed the last day of live streaming in the midst of various doubts and scoldings.
At the same time, Lin Chen also had enough funds.
The gold coin acquisition target in the game, including level 120 exquisite identification symbols, and even level 9 formation fragments, were all acquired.
And the time also came to April 26th.
On this day, Lin Chen set off back to Longhai.
He arrived home in the evening.
As soon as possible, Lin Chen entered the game.
He only had one day left.
The level 120 handmade equipment, as well as the job transfer, and Liu Mengyao's job transfer tasks, all had to be completed.
Then, he would wait for that moment to come!
