Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: Livestream! (Second Update)

In a luxurious private room.

Ye Qiu sat at the head of the table, which was filled with a colorful array of dishes, all of them beautifully presented and delicious.

Dishes named after Su Dongpo like the fragrant and crispy Dongpo pork, the heavily flavored Lawei Steam from the Lake region, and the Flying Dragon Soup made from hazel grouse from Xing’an Ridge, all of these are unforgettable delicacies.

Ye Qiu just picked at a few bites of the food on the table and didn’t eat much.

Since pushing his martial arts into the realm of the Human King, Ye Qiu didn’t consume much of staple foods. Even if he didn’t eat, he wouldn’t be hungry, but occasionally he would indulge himself to a tiny bit.

“Brother Ye, it’s been a year since we last met, hasn’t it? I couldn’t find you several times,”

The speaker was a handsome, fashionable young man decked out in designer brands, a typical affluent and attractive man.

“Yeah, what have you been up to this past year? I hope you haven’t caused any trouble for Uncle Huo,” Ye Qiu smiled.

Huo Qian chuckled, “No, no, my father told me to learn from you. I’ve changed from before; I don’t even drag race anymore. I’ve completely turned into a three-good youth with ideals and goals.”

Ye Qiu smiled lightly, recalling that the two of them met through drag racing. Ye Qiu won quite a bit of money that race.

Huo Qian was thoroughly convinced of his loss and wasn’t arrogant about it. Mainly, he struck up a friendship with Ye Qiu, who saw something good in Huo Qian and was willing to befriend him. Later on, they even went to Myanmar to gamble on stones with an unreliable cousin, which ended on a sour note, but the relationship between Ye Qiu and Huo Qian remained unchanged, and they continued to be good friends even though Ye Qiu had a lot to do and they seldom had a chance to meet.

Huo Qian differed from other rich kids; he wasn’t arrogant or dismissive of others, which is the main reason why Ye Qiu was willing to befriend him.

That’s why, when he suddenly received Huo Qian’s call, Ye Qiu rushed here.

Huo Qian didn’t know Ye Qiu was in ZS City either, having tried to call him several times in the past only for the phone to be off for long periods, and even couldn’t find him at the villa of the goddess, which led to the lack of contact until he recognized Ye Qiu in a video online.

Seeing the video, Huo Qian commented below, saying he knew Ye Qiu, that they were friends.

But within a minute, there were hundreds of replies.

Someone replied, “Wow, you must really think you’re all that, knowing everyone; I mean, I could say I know The Buddha too.”

Another replied, “I genuinely worry for this guy’s IQ. If you want to ride the hype, just say it, don’t tell such big lies and get despised for it.”

And several replies from user profiles with female avatars: “Handsome guy, if your looks and intelligence are on par, I’d be the first to chase after you.”

Seeing a wall of comments, none of which believed him, Huo Qian was furious. He genuinely knew Ye Qiu, yet the people online didn’t believe it, so he started arguing with hundreds of people in the comments. In less than half an hour, he noticed the number of people he was trying to argue with was multiplying, making him so mad that he mobilized family company employees to launch an attack, which eventually was only put to rest when it came to his father’s attention.

A burst of internet battle was forcibly stopped, with Huo Qian leaving just one message, saying he would prove it to everyone one day and asking people to wait and see.

Immediately after, Huo Qian closed his computer, because he knew the people online would spray him again in no time, so he learned not to worry about things unseen.

Huo Qian tried again to contact Ye Qiu, and unexpectedly got through this time, managing to drag Ye Qiu out.

“Brother Ye, do you know that you’re famous now?” Huo Qian leaned over from across Ye Qiu, sitting beside him.

“How am I famous?” Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s expression, Huo Qian was immediately speechless, realizing Ye Qiu really had no idea about this matter.

“The video of your fight with that person has been uploaded online, with billions of views. To put it without exaggeration, at least half of China has seen that video,” Huo Qian explained.

Video?

Ye Qiu thought back for a moment, wondering… He remembered the time he fought with Qin Fei, there were indeed quite a few people there, many of whom were recording, but Ye Qiu didn’t pay any attention to it and let it be.

Thinking carefully about it, Ye Qiu then understood. No wonder Lin Qiao’er knew he’d be back, and Chen Yifeng and the other seniors sent invitations requesting to learn martial arts from him, it was all because of that video.

Although Ye Qiu was afraid of trouble, given the situation, he didn’t care much anymore; it was fine letting people watch the video.

Ye Qiu didn’t know how viral he was online, but Huo Qian did, so he talked about the effects caused by the video, and Ye Qiu then realized he’d unintentionally become an internet celebrity.

The vast number of netizens even gave him a cool moniker, calling him the Silver-haired Madman!

“Brother Ye, I’m not lying to you, believe me, I can pull it up and show you right now.” Huo Qian took out his phone, logged into his account, and immediately it started buzzing with notifications. Huo Qian looked at the thousands of messages tagging him and his face almost fell. These internet warriors were insane, there was no need to bombard him with messages like this.

Huo Qian posted another comment below the video, saying: The time to prove it has come, if you want to see it, come find me in the room, then he left the live stream room number.

Regarding how to prove it, Huo Qian had long thought of a way, and that was through livestreaming.

Then he told Ye Qiu that they would start a livestream soon, and both of them would appear in the stream together. Ye Qiu’s was reluctant, but he couldn’t resist when a grown man was tugging at his sleeve, so he begrudgingly agreed.

Huo Qian was secretly delighted and immediately started the livestream.

“Hi everyone, welcome to the Explosive Stream.” Huo Qian was the first to appear in the video, and the viewer count went from 0 to 100 in just a few seconds, indicating that his earlier comment worked, as quite a few people had come to watch, some possibly just wanting to see the joke.

Explosive Stream?

Ye Qiu was intrigued by the non-mainstream name; it was hard to imagine Huo Qian had such an intense taste.

And in the livestream room, the chat instantly flooded the screen.

[Melancholic Prince] “Explosive Stream, didn’t you say you are friends with the Silver-haired Madman? Prove it already!”

[Toe-picking Lolita] “Young man, please present your evidence.”

[Durian Mango] “The person below is the ugliest.”

The comments were varied and plentiful, most demanding Huo Qian prove his words, and despite a lot of trolls in the chat, Huo Qian chose to ignore them. However, one particular username seemed familiar to him.

[Invincible Youthful Beauty] “Handsome guy, didn’t think you actually look decent, though it’s a shame you’re a bit dumb. I have standards for looks, but intelligence can’t be too low either. Today, I’ll see how you prove it, and if you fail to prove it, I won’t be mad, because it seems I foolishly entered the room myself.”

Huo Qian felt a wave of frustration; he realized who this Invincible Youthful Beauty was, the same girl who said if his intelligence and looks were on par, she’d be the first to chase him.

Seeing that so many people still didn’t believe him, Huo Qian cleared his throat and said seriously, “Now I will prove to you all that I know the Silver-haired Madman, he is right here beside me.”

Instantly, the comments were filled with a unanimous, “Show him, show him, show him.”
