Chapter 142: Chapter 81: The Villainous Overlord [Happy New Year! Long Chapter]_5
Four-digit live stream IDs range from 0001 to 9999, and there are only so many quadruple numbers with good implications. Do you have the ability, and will you compete for them?
“As a live streamer, you must compete.”
Su Huai replied to Pei Shuyu.
“Starting today, all female broadcasters on the platform are your competitors. You can try to claim male broadcasters, but if you can’t get along, you must have the courage to shut them up. If you want to stand at the highest point to see the view, making friends with other broadcasters is the most meaningless thing. On the contrary, you need to step on them to climb the ladder to heaven.”
Isn’t doing business the same?
Seize whatever you can, steal what you can’t, the victor is beyond reproach.
However, you must grasp one basic principle—you cannot harm the platform’s interests.
Without the platform, where are you and I?
Without the country, where is the home?
Pei Shuyu nodded vigorously, “Daddy, I understand! I will adjust myself as soon as possible and will not fail your support!”
While they were talking, it seemed like things were getting out of hand.
People kept entering the room, all of them hosts who loved to watch the drama unfold.
Moreover, Cheese, the guild leader of Yuyu, sent Su Huai an urgent voice chat request, and the first thing he said was, “Turbid Dog, have we made too much of a commotion?”
Su Huai responded with a playful laugh, “Oh? Is it my fault?”
Cheese, a bit anxious and flustered, quickly realized and hurriedly apologized and explained.
“Turbid Dog, no, I absolutely did not mean that!
Here’s the thing—
Gang’s guild leader and I are good friends in real life.
Gang heard from my buddy that Yuyu had a strong elder brother come to her home, so he impulsively wanted to play a few rounds today.
You know, when male broadcasters invite female broadcasters for a joint broadcast, they generally up the ante.
If they win, it’s like giving a bonus to their own brother and also offering the female broadcaster an opportunity to showcase herself.
If they lose, it’s no loss, consuming their own tickets and a bit of the female broadcaster’s brother’s ‘medical expenses’, which is better than just enduring it.
Trash talking, bullying, swearing, and the like are actually standard practice, how else to create a sense of unity without provoking the fans of the female broadcasters?
Abusing fans solidifies the fanbase, a trick played out in the entertainment industry, and indeed, it’s widespread in the live streaming industry as well.
In a way, it can be considered a form of unscripted routine.
In most platforms that Su Huai is aware of—mind the wording, most platforms—similar situations are widespread.
Sometimes, when viewers watch their favorite female broadcaster in a PK with a male broadcaster, being insulted horribly, it’s a tragic sight, with all sorts of humiliating penalties, and then the female broadcaster crying pitifully…
It hurts, doesn’t it?
Most men would feel pity, there’s no denying it.
But in fact, there’s a good chance that after the broadcast, the female and male broadcasters are on good terms, and can even calmly critique the PK.
Even if the two don’t know each other, well-mannered male broadcasters would apologize to the female broadcaster afterwards, explaining the situation.
After all, male and female live streamers are on different tracks; there’s no direct competition, so it’s better to be mutually beneficial.
This is well known among veteran live streamers; only the viewers invest real emotions, getting upset on one hand and throwing money on the other, feeling like they’re protecting the broadcaster after spending.
Actually, there are indeed many broadcasters who need protection, but those old pros who have been streaming for over a year, they drive better cars than you.
Ever heard of the Porsche Guild?
Female broadcasters average a Porsche, do they need your sympathy, your empathy?
Su Huai is all too familiar with this setup.
Cheese kept confessing, “Turbid Dog, they came specifically to me to explain, Gang truly didn’t have any excessive intentions, and he even held back at that time, otherwise it could’ve been a lot cruder.
They also didn’t expect to anger you like this.
In fact, if it were a normal fight, losing a couple more rounds wouldn’t have been a big deal, Gang was bracing himself for a beating by being so cocky.
A normal PK loss wouldn’t break him.
But if it were 10:1 and he lost again, then it would be totally over for him…
It’s not easy for a small guild to raise a male broadcaster, and their guild leader came to me right away, hoping you would be magnanimous.
I said I definitely can’t be the boss’s agent, but since we’re familiar with each other in reality, and this is also common, I must ask for your opinion…
Gou, I’ve explained it clearly, right?
I definitely don’t mean to tell you how to handle things, you should still do whatever you’re going to do…”
Actually, Cheese obviously got scared by the end.
Because throughout that long speech, Su Huai didn’t interject at all, just quietly listened, without even responding with the occasional ‘uh-huh.’
This attitude gave him a huge psychological pressure.
Common practice or friendship aside, personal interests are ultimately more important, and the more Cheese talked, the more nervous he became.
“Are you done?”
Su Huai spoke slowly.
Cheese nodded hastily, even though Turbid Dog couldn’t see him over the phone.
“Uh-huh, all done, all done!”
“My turn?”
“Ah, yes, yes! Gou, please speak!”
Su Huai smiled lightly and spoke deliberately, “I don’t care what kind of friends you are, or how common this matter is.
Since he didn’t consult with you and Pei Shuyu beforehand, this isn’t part of the script.
At least not in my book.
I hope you can understand a basic fact—
Gang came to me of his own accord, like a bird flying in front of the gun barrel just as I was about to shoot.
I pull the trigger, everyone has soup tonight, and the other birds on the platform will remember that a host named Yuji shouldn’t be messed with, and a big brother named Turbid Dog doesn’t hesitate to fire.
So no matter what Gang’s original intentions were, or how he behaved later, the hatred he sowed towards Yuyu with his outrageous words must not be wasted.
Now, no one can stop me from pulling the trigger.
If anyone wants to stop me, you should be standing beside me with a shovel, digging a hole to bury him in.
With this explanation, can you clarify where you stand?”
Cheese was totally numb and hastily agreed, “Can, can, can!”
Internally, he was lamenting—damn, what level of a boss is this?! This kind of dreadful oppressive feeling is terrifying!
In fact, Su Huai didn’t employ any special techniques; he simply treated Cheese as if he were one of the female hosts he used to manage.
To handle those women, merely talking nicely wouldn’t cut it; he had to be adept at all sorts of intimidation and temptation techniques.
Now, he only needed to adopt a dominant stance, then deliberately slow down his speech and emphasize the key points, which turned out even better than expected.
—All because of the nearly two hundred and fifty thousand RMB about to be spent from the account.
A sufficient amount of money can make anyone listen carefully.
“Gou, don’t worry!”
Cheese stated seriously, “I definitely know which side I’m on, I’m too grateful to you to mention it, I was just a bit slow to react earlier and a little too cautious, afraid that you might inadvertently offend someone without knowing the situation.
Now I understand, on our little platform, who are you afraid of offending?
It should be everyone else who’s afraid of offending you, right?”
Smart, his response was quite quick.
Su Huai didn’t have high expectations for a guild leader who was new to the scene, as long as communication was possible and they could get their priorities straight, that was OK.
He couldn’t fly, but I could take him flying.
“Alright, back to work, I’m particularly curious how many votes Gang can muster up.”
Su Huai hung up the phone, thinking about investing the remaining 200,000 as well.
However, considering that recharging now would renew the Silver Badge and the Tall, Rich, and Handsome icon, Gou Huai thought about it and then decided against recharging right away.
Watching Gang’s desperate plea for votes on the screen and the various calls for action and outbursts from players all over the public chat, Gou Huai curled up the corner of his mouth like a villain, crafting a wicked smile.
I really hope you put in some effort so I can thoroughly enjoy myself…
What do you think?
