31: Chapter 31 Old Six Stirs Up Trouble

Cao Mo waited until 7:10 PM, and once the number of people in the Livestream Room reached over 80,000, he finally began to showcase his talents.

"Brothers and sisters, because I was filming short videos today, I couldn't get home to start the stream, so we'll do an outdoor stream first. That piano is still there, let me play a piano piece for everyone!"

Saying this, Cao Mo took the stand and walked over to the white piano.

He needed to maximize the utility of the piano; since it had been so hard to get, just filming one video and sending it back really wasn't profitable enough.

Cao Mo handed the Livestreaming stand to Wen Bin and sat down in front of the piano.

Placing his hands gently on the keys, Cao Mo thought for a moment, then immediately began to play.

Cheerful, bouncing notes rang out; Cao Mo was playing "Kikujiro's Summer".

This is a very classic piano piece, widely loved for its beautiful melody and vibrant sense of rhythm.

The opening of this piece leaves a deep impression, the crisp notes like a summer breeze, gently brushing against the heart. As the music unfolds, I seem to see those lush green fields, sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the soil, shimmering with golden light. This scene makes one feel peaceful and wonderful, as if one could temporarily forget the troubles and worries of life.

Of course, the music is actually laced with sadness and anticipation, stemming from the story behind the piece—a boy named Kikujiro who, in this vibrant summer, embarked on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual healing.

The piece was quite fitting; it was the height of the hot weather, and although autumn had begun, it was still filled with the atmosphere of summer.

Using this piece to start was excellent; he couldn't just make the Livestream Room feel depressed right from the start!

Seeing Cao Mo playing the piano so skillfully, aside from the brothers from 798 who had watched his streams before, Cao Mo's fans were frantically sending bullet comments:

"Hubby can even play the piano?"

"Hubby playing the piano in a suit is so handsome!"

"Ahhhhh... Brother, I love you so much."

"How can a person be this outstanding?"

"Is he Da Hua! A one-man band?"

"He could clearly rely on his looks, yet he insists on relying on his talent."

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

"So handsome!"

"Is this 'Kikujiro's Summer'?"

"I'm a piano student too, Brother Mo looks truly professional."

"So talented, I'm a fan of the streamer's talent."

...

Once Cao Mo finished playing this piano piece, gifts began flying across the Livestream Room.

He received two more carnivals, along with a pile of other gifts like sports cars, helicopters, little rockets, hot air balloons, and sunglasses.

After Cao Mo finished playing, Wen Bin immediately handed the Livestream Room back to Cao Mo and said, "You received so many gifts in the Livestream Room just now, you should thank them yourself."

Cao Mo took the stand and looked at the Livestream Room.

At that moment, a list of IDs that had just sent gifts appeared on the side of the Livestream Room.

This wasn't a platform feature, but a function of the black-tech Livestreaming phone.

"Thanks to my Sister Qiu for the carnival, thanks to my Sister Qing for the carnival, thanks to my Sister Min for the sports car, thanks to my..."

Cao Mo went through a long list of thank-yous for the gifts.

After finishing the thank-yous, Cao Mo immediately reminded everyone, "Don't rush to send gifts, everyone. I'll be PK-ing with the brothers from 798 when I get home later, it won't be too late to send them then."

Hearing Cao Mo's words, the big brothers and sisters in the Livestream Room sent bullet comments one after another:

"Couldn't help but send them."

"It's fine, I've got plenty of money."

"Don't worry about the PK, it's a guaranteed win."

"I'm definitely taking a spot in the top three of the leaderboard!"

"Little Mo, if I take first place, can you feed me personally?"

"Can I have dinner with you if I'm in the top three?"

"The PK is a guaranteed win, there are so many of us! Even our spare change can wipe them out."

"I'm taking a top three spot, not even Jesus can stop me."

"If I'm eating with my family, can you play the piano or violin next to us?"

"Guaranteed win! Don't worry!"

"Play 'Mariage d'Amour'."

...

Watching the bullet comments stream by, Cao Mo laughed, "With you guys saying that, I'm relieved. Let me play one more song for everyone, then I'm heading home."

Saying this, Cao Mo handed the Livestream Room over to the "stand" again.

The piano piece Cao Mo was about to play was titled "Thoughts Across Time".

This piece is the theme song of the same name from the first Inuyasha movie, Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time.

As the piano notes rang out, the beautiful melody drifted into the Livestream Room.

The black-tech Livestreaming phone could capture sound perfectly, so there was no need to worry about the audience in the Livestream Room hearing any static:

"This song is good? What is it?"

"It sounds familiar!"

"Inuyasha?"

"Thoughts Across Time!"

"Turning on music recognition."

"Inuyasha's 'Thoughts Across Time', my favorite song."

"Kikyo (crying emoji)"

"I don't know what it is, but it sounds good!"

"Handsome, handsome, handsome!"

"The music is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful!"

"What kind of top-tier succubus is this? Even an old auntie in her forties like me can't resist."

"I'm willing to pay 500,000 for one night!"

...

The wealthy women and men in the Livestream Room did not follow Cao Mo's advice and continued to send gifts.

After thanking them for the gifts once more, Cao Mo said, "That's it for the piano performance tonight. Now I'm heading home to PK, remember, it's a guaranteed win as promised!"

Saying this, Cao Mo got into the back seat of the G-Wagon.

Because Brother Tong couldn't appear on camera, Wen Bin drove, Brother Tong sat in the passenger seat, and Cao Mo sat alone in the back.

Tong Jingchen sat in the passenger seat, watching Cao Mo's livestream the whole time.

"In this situation, how can Zhilong and the others win? They're going to be crushed by you," Tong Jingchen said.

Although he couldn't appear on camera, he could still talk.

"No way! Zhilong, Brother Jie, and Zisheng all have big brothers and sisters supporting them. I just look fierce, but for all I know, my fans are just a rabble," Cao Mo replied.

"A rabble? You have many high-level big brothers and sisters in your Livestream Room!" Tong Jingchen said.

"It's hard to say! Zhilong and the others are streamers who can go head-to-head with Disney and the others; they have experience with PKs," Cao Mo replied again.

"Who needs experience for a PK? You just go for it. You have nearly 100,000+ viewers, why are you afraid of anything with so many rich brothers and sisters?" Wen Bin, who was driving, spoke up.

"Indeed, the fight hasn't even started yet! How does that saying go? Boosting someone else's morale and dampening your own spirit, or something like that," Tong Jingchen chimed in.

"Boosting the enemy's morale and dampening your own spirit!" Cao Mo replied.

"Right! What you're saying right now is boosting the enemy's morale and dampening your own spirit. How does that make your fans in the Livestream Room feel? With this many online viewers, you're definitely a top-tier streamer, why are you afraid of them? It's not just me talking, with the situation in your Livestream Room, who in the entire Douyin are you afraid of?" Tong Jingchen said.

"It's not fear, I just feel like I shouldn't pop the champagne just yet. I need to leave myself a way out so I don't get slapped in the face," Cao Mo explained.

"What kind of way out do you need? I know those guys, you can beat them easily. I support you; you are the recognized Brother Yi of 798," Tong Jingchen shouted.

"Brother Tong, you're shouting so excitedly, but you can't even send gifts," Cao Mo rolled his eyes.

He cared for them all equally, so Tong Jingchen certainly couldn't send gifts to favor anyone.
