167: Xi Suo's Stage (II)

“Folks, both young and old, and all the ladies in the livestream, is there anyone who wants to come up and sing a song?”

“If you want to come up, send a scrolling comment, and I’ll pull you up.”

“Xisuo’s grand stage, come if you have a dream!”

Douyin scrolling comments are divided into three types: the most common scrolling comment, costing 66 Douyin coins per message.

Then there's the advanced scrolling comment, which has a blue border and costs 166 Douyin coins per message.

Finally, there's the supreme scrolling comment, which has a golden border and also comes with many white 'clones' when it appears; the entire scrolling comment area is filled with its 'minions,' costing 366 Douyin coins per message.

Moreover, streamers don't earn a single cent from scrolling comments.

Their main purpose is to get the streamer's attention and show off a bit.

[A dream? Is it a wish?]

[(4) W. Mu Qing: “It seems I can’t send scrolling comments…”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “It seems you need to be level 33 or above to send scrolling comments.”]

[(49) Laicai: “Level 32 should be enough, right? If I remember correctly.”]

[(32) Bafang: “I’m level 32, and I can’t send them. It says I must be level 33.”]

[You two can form a group called the 'Stuck Old Guys' combo~]

[And you like to wear jade pendants around your neck, right?]

[Sincerely bow three times, and a few hundred will appear in your wallet.]

[Easy is the lottery, difficult is waiting for the river card~]

[Laicai~ Laicai~]

“Ahem, brothers and sisters, don’t sing in the comments. If you have the guts, come up and sing.”

Xisuo saw that no one had come up to sing for so long, and he couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

[Although, singing in front of so many people is still very difficult.]

[Don't look at how uninhibited those people in the voice chat rooms usually are; if you ask them to sing in a livestream with over 100,000 viewers, they'll definitely chicken out instantly.]

[Aside from professional singers and those in the main hall, few people would dare to go up, right?]

[I certainly wouldn't dare...]

[I dare when I'm in the shower, but when I'm not~]

[You're a bathroom singer, huh?]

“Think about it, everyone~ As long as you dare to come up and sing well, won't you receive gifts until your hands are soft?”

“What if a big brother or sister takes a liking to you? Will you still have to worry about your daily tasks from now on?”

“The opportunity is given to you, seize it!”

It's just that he can't sing, otherwise he would definitely belt out a song!

[(4) W. Mu Qing: “I want to go up… but he can’t see me!!!”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “@W. Mu Qing, she’s going.” (Supreme Scrolling Comment)]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “Go for it, I’m rooting for you.”]

[(4) W. Mu Qing: “Ah!!! Thank you, Daddy!”]

“Alright, President Qian, I’ll pull this young lady up right now.”

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Oh wow, flirting in front of the Madam? Commander is awesome!”]

[(75) Ting Hai: “Ahem, it’s not the first time, is it?”]

[(54) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “When Commander took us to have fun back then, Madam was already there.”]

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Were Madam and Commander already acquainted back then?”]

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Commander! You two kept us in the dark for so long!”]

This really wronged him; he truly didn't know Su Qingwan back then.

If he hadn't returned to the family, he might never have met Su Qingwan in this lifetime.

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “Don’t guess randomly. I didn’t know her back then.”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “Because of some special reasons, understand?”]

[(75) Nvzongcai Jiadao (Renqi Ban): “Mhm, don’t guess randomly. You won’t guess it.”]

“Hello, little sister, do you have any dreams?”

Xisuo finally found Mu Qing in the comments, and after she got on the mic, Xisuo asked.

“Um… we have a hall battle tonight, and I hope a big brother can help me complete my task.”

Hall battle tasks are something that troubles most voice chat room singers; failing to complete them usually results in a fine.

Hall battles usually occur once every half a month to a month.

“Hall battle task? How much is it?”

Generally, it wouldn't be too high; a few tens of thousands of votes would be enough to pass the task.

“13140 votes.”

[13140? That's not much indeed.]

[One carrot will take care of it.]

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “I approve this assignment.”]

[(75) Ting Hai: “I’ll add one carrot.”]

[(54) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “Then I’ll also accompany with one.”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “Feng Lin, where did you get the money? Why are you spending so much?”]

Wind Forest Grass Wood is a university student. Although his family background is good, they are not extremely wealthy.

Level 54 would also require around one million to reach.

[(54) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “Hehe, President Qian, I’m from Yangcheng. My old family’s six-story building was demolished, and we got over ten apartments.”]

[(66) MARIO: “Good heavens, over ten apartments in Yangcheng, that must be close to a small fortune, right?”]

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Huh? You’re also from Yangcheng? Let’s grab a drink when you’re on holiday.”]

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Big brother will treat you to a full service of foot massage and regular massage!”]

[(54) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “Alrighty!”]

Wind Forest Grass Wood never dreamed that simply by becoming a fan of a streamer, his life would undergo a tremendous change from then on.

Background, opportunity, and noble assistance—these three things are the most important in life.

“Since President Qian is here, I will sing 'Legends Never Die.'”

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “You understand progress.”]

[(75) Ting Hai: “This girl, she really seizes opportunities!”]

[(63) Yuncheng Oyster: “Girl, this song is so difficult, can you sing it?”]

[(63) Yuncheng Oyster: “If you can’t sing it, I suggest you buy some Yuncheng Oyster to replenish your body.”]

[(66) MARIO: “You… you really are persistent with your advertising.”]

[(63) Yuncheng Oyster: “It’s a small business, so I can only advertise in the livestream. I can’t afford it on TV at all!”]

Current TV advertisements easily cost tens of thousands per broadcast.

Especially the thirty seconds before and after the news, which are almost always charged by the second.

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “Actually, I don’t really like listening to this song anymore.”]

Ever since his liking for this song spread on Douyin, almost everyone in the voice chat rooms started learning it.

They learned it, but they didn't sing it very well.

Li Youqian was almost sick of hearing it.

[(75) Wo Jiu Ai Bai Piao: “Ah? Then Commander, what do you like to listen to now?”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “'Left Hand Points to the Moon' and 'Difficult Sutra.'”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “'Big Fish' and 'Digital Life' are also good.”]

[(66) Xuxu Baobao: “Asahi Baby Media, all of you learn them!”]

[(66) Xuxu Baobao: “Whoever can’t learn these four songs will have their salary deducted!”]

[(51) X. Jianglan: “President Qian, I hate you!!!”]

Actually, Li Youqian didn't really have any particular songs he wanted to hear. The reason he mentioned these few was because...

These songs are too damn difficult.
