CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: HELPING OTHERS WITH THEIR LIVE STREAM

Of course, the viewers in Su Yi’s stream heard everything.

Xia Liang was no stranger to them; in fact, many viewers recognized him. After all, this was his third appearance on her stream. For a moment, a number of viewers in the live chat started greeting him.

"Yo! If it isn’t our tycoon, Brother Xia!"

"Here to pick up our girl Su Yi again?"

"Could it be that things are getting serious between you two?"

"My youth is over! Our girl’s been claimed."

...

Seeing the teasing in the chat, Su Yi did something rare—she actually blushed.

This only spurred on further teasing from the viewers.

"Whoa! Did Su Yi just blush?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Looks like there’s really something going on between them!"

"It’s happening! It’s definitely happening!"

"Su Yi! Quick, ask Brother Xia to help you with the PK battles tonight! This year’s Feiyu Star title will be yours!"

"Right! With Brother Xia’s net worth, getting you that Feiyu Star title would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?"

...

Seeing these comments, Su Yi quickly shook her head but didn’t say a word. If she said anything now, it would sound like she was deliberately fishing for his help.

The reason the viewers were talking this way was that Feiyu had just launched a new event for its contracted anchors. It was called the "Feiyu Star."

The event, which started today, would feature a series of gift-giving PK battles. The grand prize winner would receive a custom, three-digit room number from the platform. The announcement instantly caused a sensation across all of Feiyu.

Feiyu hosted a wide variety of streams and had many prominent gaming anchors. The platform primarily used these gamers to attract new users, then monetized that traffic through its entertainment channels, like the Star Talent channel. Therefore, the platform tended to coddle its gaming anchors.

The top gaming anchors generally stayed out of the drama in the entertainment sections. To that end, this event was split into two categories: "Feiyu Gaming Star" and "Entertainment Star," with separate competitions for the gaming and entertainment divisions.

The gaming competition was mostly for fun and wasn’t expected to bring in much money. The entertainment division, however—which included talent shows, outdoor streaming, anime, and beauty-and-dating streams—was another story. Here, the competition was a no-holds-barred battle. Feiyu had invested heavily, offering many attractive prizes, and naturally intended to rake in a hefty sum of cash.

Everyone knew the entertainment channels, especially Star Talent, were where the richest anchors and the most generous God of Wealth patrons were.

Essentially, this event pushed the top anchors and their active God of Wealth patrons up against a wall. After all, could you really stand by and watch an anchor you support get completely crushed? How could you not join in and still show your face after they called you ’family’ and ’big brother’? If you didn’t help, how could you hold your head high on Feiyu? What do these wealthy patrons care about? First is status, and second is face.

For those two things, spending a bit of money was no big deal.

When the announcement was made last night, it naturally sent a shockwave through the major anchors. Anyone with even a sliver of hope for competing started getting restless.

Su Yi saw the announcement and harbored some aspirations, but she was well aware of her own standing. She decided it was best to be realistic; simply scoring a promotional spot and getting some extra exposure would be good enough.

The entire platform was abuzz with discussion about the event, with anchors contacting their biggest patrons, all aiming for a good ranking.

Xia Liang noticed Su Yi had suddenly gone quiet and grew curious.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Oh, it’s nothing." Su Yi quickly waved her hands.

When Su Yi wouldn’t say, Xia Liang didn’t press the issue.

He drove them to a shopping district. Since it was still early, they found a coffee shop and sat down.

Su Yi was live streaming.

Xia Liang was incredibly bored just watching her.

Seeing how bored Xia Liang looked, Su Yi blinked and said midway through the stream, "How about we stream together?"

"Sure." Feeling bored, Xia Liang agreed on the spot.

He got up and sat next to Su Yi.

When the viewers saw that Xia Liang could now read the comment barrage, they immediately flooded the chat.

"Hey, Brother Xia! Look over here!"

"Brother Xia, have you taken a fancy to our girl?"

"Brother Xia, what do you do for a living? How are you so rich?"

"Brother Xia, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Brother Xia, do you have any special talents?"

...

Looking at the barrage of eager questions, Xia Liang picked a few he could answer.

"My profession? I deliver takeout. No girlfriend. As for special talents...?"

As he said this, Xia Liang subconsciously glanced down at his lower body.

Su Yi, who was sitting beside him, was stunned for a moment. Then her face turned completely red. She couldn’t believe Xia Liang would make such a blatant dirty joke on stream.

The chat immediately erupted.

"??? What’s the special talent? Why’d you stop talking?"

"I bet he doesn’t have any. He’s probably too embarrassed to say."

"Who cares? Driving a Lamborghini Poison one-handed is a special talent in itself!"

"To the people above me: Brother Xia’s already putting the pedal to the metal with the jokes and you guys haven’t even caught on yet."

"I’m dying of laughter, is it really *that* long?"

"I never thought a God of Wealth would make dirty jokes just like the rest of us!"

...

Xia Liang sat there, casually chatting with the viewers. But it was obvious that just talking was starting to get boring. A good number of people had already left.

Seeing the stream’s popularity drop, Xia Liang frowned. Su Yi had asked him to join the stream. It was one thing if her viewer count didn’t increase, but he couldn’t let it drop on his watch.

With a grand wave of his hand, he announced authoritatively, "Alright! You want to see a talent? Fine. I’ll perform one for you. But it’s going to be something completely different. You can try to guess what it is. Whoever gets it right wins a prize."

This statement, along with the promise of a reward, caught everyone’s attention. He didn’t say what the prize was, but a prize from a God of Wealth was bound to be amazing.

Immediately, the viewers who had been about to leave stayed, and the comment barrage flared up again.

"Breakdancing?"

"No way. For a God of Wealth like Brother Xia, it must be something high-class. I’m guessing piano."

"Could it be golf?"

"Extreme sports?"

"One-handed piloting?"

The chat was instantly filled with all kinds of wild guesses.

When he felt the time was right, Xia Liang didn’t keep them in suspense. He cleared his throat and said, "It seems no one is going to win this prize. The talent I’m going to perform today... is luck."

"Luck?"

It wasn’t just the viewers in the chat; even Su Yi stared at him, completely baffled.

Viewers immediately started stirring things up in the chat.

"I’m out. He’s treating us like idiots."

"Exactly! If you don’t want to give a prize, just say it. Why put on an act?"

"Perform ’luck’? What, are you going to gather your vital energy... and let out a lucky fart?"

"Later. I’m going to watch some girls dance."

...

Faced with the flood of mockery and sarcasm, Xia Liang’s expression remained unchanged.
