Chapter 82: Chapter 68 A World Where Everyone is Hurt

Pei Shuyu wasn’t really dumb; she was just dazzled by Su Huai’s manipulations.

Once she stopped obsessing over the details, she quickly found what seemed to be the theoretically correct response.

“Fine! You’re smart, you’re amazing. Since I can’t make heads or tails of it and can’t be bothered anymore, I might as well not earn that 300 yuan from adding you on VX. Now I’m sending you my VX, you make good on the photo, and that’s that!”

Pretending to be angry, she tapped away at the keyboard and, soon enough, Su Huai’s private message box contained a new mix of letters and numbers.

Even though a new female broadcaster’s WeChat wasn’t typically worth much, Su Huai’s acquisition process was far too smooth.

Moreover, her very intimate and coquettish demeanor immediately set a rhythm on the public screen.

Flying Sky typed sarcastically, “How much did I tip before you gave me your WeChat?”

Duke Huhu Dasleep, also unhappy to see another competitor, directly tagged Turbid Dog Number Three, “Turbid Dog, talk is talk, fun is fun, but it’s time to show what you’ve got. Surely you don’t intend to always just talk big and take advantage of a young girl?”

King Gigi fanned the flames, “If you keep this up, Ba Wang will definitely set some rules for you once he comes back~~~ Rookies should be more reserved. Our big brother is really scary~~~”

Flying Sky, “Hurry up, 140,000 coins is good for a big 1314, Turbid Dog, start your performance, don’t be stingy now!”

In a tough streaming environment, new players always face these kinds of situations.

Because some people just don’t want the broadcaster to do too well or become too popular too quickly. Once there are more big supporters in the streaming room, the broadcaster’s attention to them naturally gets divided, leading to a sense of ‘falling out of favor.’

To prevent this, they would display a competitive nature, both deliberately and inadvertently.

These include but are not limited to showing who’s boss, sarcastic comments, direct confrontations, ignoring each other, behind-the-scenes moves, spreading rumors, and so on.

It sounds ridiculous, but it’s incredibly real.

On the internet, people tend to be more exposed and reckless.

Su Huai had even witnessed a Top Supporter personally getting involved to drive players away—the shock at that time…

The boss laughed: Isn’t it good that the big brother is getting worked up?

So the operation manager personally offered advice, teaming up with the broadcaster, and, in one and a half months, they circled back to coax 850,000 from the big brother.

There were inducements, scripts, flame baiting, but not a single off-platform transfer, nor any concession in WeChat to dating, just an endless stream of ‘hubby’ and ‘baby’ and ‘dear’ on air.

Latter, when the big supporter who sold his house for the coins really made a fuss about suing, it was futile, as all behavior in the streaming room was deemed part of the broadcast experience and consequently unsupported by courts.

Later, when Su Huai spoke with the company’s legal department, they said with a smile, “Consultations like this? Just from our company alone, we get 200 cases a year. Can you imagine how many there are nationwide?”

From then on, Su Huai finally understood what lay behind the glamorous façade of the live streaming industry.

Back to the present moment, Su Huai just thought they were full of hot air and even felt like laughing.

But Pei Shuyu was overwhelmed by the sudden rhythm of events, trying to juggle multiple ‘big brother’ suitors was an unsolvable problem in the live streaming world, and she still had a long way to go.

When Ba Wang was around, they had to hold back, only flirting in private messages.

But when Ba Wang was gone, every one of them became a clingy octopus.

Just when she was most agitated, Su Huai, who had just added her on WeChat, asked, “What’s going on with your stream?”

In an instant, all her grievances surged forth.

Do you think I enjoy this?!

I can’t control what the big supporters do, and it annoys me too, you know?

However, Gou Huai didn’t wait for her response or explanation, but with a mischievous grin, he clicked on the largest tip jar, entered the maximum number, 28, and spent all his Star Coins at once.

He posted on the public screen, “All in, all in, we’re even.”

Then, without looking at the gift effects and ignoring profits and losses, he left the stream immediately.

Flirting and joking around need to be measured; simply running one’s mouth is certainly not enough. Ultimately, there needs to be real input.

But this input must also have added value; you can’t just throw it out and then receive a nonchalant “Thanks, Turbid Dog.”

The thanks must be genuine and come with a sense of surprise, but these shallow emotions don’t last long.

The stream is busy with people coming and going every day— who has the energy to always remember that little bit of gratitude?

Many entertainment-type players end up spending money without gaining status, contributing without gaining face because they’ve been too laid-back, spending money casually, not knowing how to fight for more.

Su Huai was different; he knew the ins and outs of the internet too well.

Actually, in situations like these, there were many possible choices.

Different responses could yield different outcomes.

For instance, with high emotional intelligence, you could smooth things over and continue to reap Pei Shuyu’s favorability and trust.

But he decided to do exactly the opposite, creating even more intense emotional turbulence for Pei Shuyu.

Counting silently to three, around the 5th second, Pei Shuyu’s message indeed followed. “Turbid Dog, are you angry?”

Clearly filled with apprehension and caution.

Su Huai turned off WeChat and continued to browse around the platform, lingering for about five-plus minutes before reopening the chat interface.

“The broadcaster is good, but big brother is not. Not angry, keep it up.”

Simple, light, and faint.

If he were dealing with a soft and tender girl with little independence, Su Huai might have been sharper.
