88: Beat up the movie queen (Part 1)

Immortal by the River group chat:

[(75) Laoye: “Big brothers and sisters, come help out, this situation is a bit tricky!”]

[Laoye shared the livestream – Li Ergou’s Happy Life.]

[(75) Qing Jie: “Coming, coming. Why do you, a big man, like supporting male streamers?”]

[(75) Qing Jie: “Isn’t it just calling you ‘dad’? Wouldn’t hearing a female streamer call you that be more fulfilling?”]

[(75) Yingzi: “What’s going on? I’m in a meeting, Laoye called me.”]

[(75) Meiniang: “Go see for yourself.”]

As soon as Li Youqian logged into Douyin, he saw Laoye’s plea for help in the Immortal by the River group.

The group was usually for casual chats, but asking for help was a first.

And for Laoye to personally ask for help, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary situation.

Finally, he had a chance to return the favor.

[(75) I'm Really Rich entered the livestream via sharing.]

“Welcome, my Aunt Qing! Welcome, my Uncle Ying! Welcome, my Empress Mei Niang!!”

“My dad is truly good to me!”

As soon as Li Youqian entered the livestream, he heard these two sentences.

...What kind of bizarre livestream is this?

A large-scale family reunion?

And there wasn't even a PK happening!

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “....”]

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “What’s the situation?”]

[(75) Laoye: “There’s a tough battle coming up, and I can’t handle it alone.”]

“Oh no! I didn’t see my Dad Qian come in, your son deserves to die!”

There were so many people entering the livestream that Li Ergou initially didn't notice Li Youqian.

It wasn't until Li Youqian sent a floating message that he noticed.

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “I don’t have a son that old..”]

[(75) Laoye: “Don’t mind this idiot, he’s always like this.”]

[(75) Qing Jie: “You called me aunt? Am I that old??”]

[(75) Meiniang: “Calling you aunt is good enough.. He called me Empress!!”]

[Hahahaha, Ergou messed up!]

[Girls hate it when others say they are old, Ergou just went for it!]

[If this kid were a little smarter, he wouldn’t be named Li Ergou!]

[Tsk, if Ergou were smart, would he be this pathetic today?]

...

“Oh, I was wrong, two older sisters.”

“My dog’s mouth can’t speak properly, just let me go like a fart.”

Every streamer with over 100,000 followers has their unique skill, and Li Ergou is no exception.

Although he wasn't handsome, didn't have a high education, and lacked any special talents.

But he was good at flattering the big spenders, had thick skin, and corrected his mistakes quickly, ultimately standing out from thousands of streamers.

[It has to be Ergou.]

[The reason I like watching Ergou is because this kid is good at flattering.]

[Many people might look down on Ergou, but honestly, I can’t do what Ergou does.]

[I can only say that I don’t envy Ergou making money at all.]

No wonder Laoye kept watching Li Ergou, even asking for help in the group for him.

There are still quite a few streamers of this type on Douyin now.

They basically have no female fans, all male fans, and their top supporters are all men, and they are all middle-aged men.

Anyway, Li Youqian wasn't interested in this type of streamer.

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “So.. who are we fighting?”]

He had been in for so long, but the PK opponent hadn't appeared yet.

If it wasn't Laoye’s first time asking for help, he would have left already.

[President Qian, against the new Film Empress Zhao Qingling.]

[Ergou just beat up Zhao Qingling’s best friend, and Zhao Qingling is coming to get revenge!]

[If you ask me, Ergou deserved it!]

[The punishment just now was indeed a bit harsh, how could you make a female streamer turn off her beauty filter and remove her makeup?]

[Shhh~ President Qian is still here!]

[Hahahaha, President Qian also played a real-face game before, and he ran into Teacher Wang.]

[Cough cough, President Qian, I’m not talking about you~]

Aha, the classic “beating the small one, then the big one comes” plot, he’s familiar with this!

...

If they hadn't mentioned it, Li Youqian would have almost forgotten.

Back then, he was always thinking of creating buzz, and his methods were indeed a bit harsh~

[(75) I'm Really Rich: “How much longer? If it’s a long time, I’ll go browse elsewhere first.”]

Watching a group of grown men bragging here was a complete waste of life.

Better to spend this time looking at beautiful women; it’s pleasing to the eye and extends life.

[(75) Laoye: “Soon, soon, the other side said immediately.”]

[(75) Laoye: “It’ll be time for President Qian to show his power soon.”]

[With President Qian here, no surprises!]

[President Qian is Douyin’s number one rich benefactor, this round is stable.]

[This kid Ergou really lucked out.]

[Every streamer on Douyin now, every single one, doesn’t want President Qian to visit their stream?]

[Speaking of which, where is the Qian Family Army? The Commander is here, why hasn’t the main force arrived yet?]

The Qian Family Army, with its development over this period, has now grown quite large.

They are all Li Youqian’s rich benefactor fans, with high fan loyalty and considerable spending power.

If it weren't for Li Youqian streaming too infrequently, preventing many from getting their fan badges, the Qian Family Army would have already become Douyin’s number one fan group.

“They’re here!”

“Zhao Qingling is connecting with me!”

“Dads, this round is all up to you!”

Li Ergou let out a loud roar, then accepted the connection request.

“Was it you who bullied Xuanxuan?”

“A grown man bullying a young girl, are you not ashamed?”

Zhao Qingling immediately started accusing him, her tone completely impolite.

“What do you mean I bullied her?”

“You didn’t even look at what punishment your best friend set!”

“She told me to lie on the ground and bark like a dog; me making her turn off her beauty filter and remove her makeup was light!”

“And you, beating the small one then bringing the big one, do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Li Ergou was also provoked, completely disregarding the fact that the person opposite him was a Film Empress, and directly retorted.

“You’re a grown man, what’s wrong with letting her have her way?”

“Do you have any masculine integrity?”

Li Youqian was stunned. It’s almost 2025, and there are still people with such thoughts?

And big sister! How exactly did you become a Film Empress??

Such thoughtless remarks don’t sound like something a Film Empress would say.

“Heh, I’m too lazy to argue with a ‘little fairy’ like you, it’s a waste of time, let’s just start the fight.”

Li Ergou didn't want to say anything more. It's impossible to reason with such people.

[666, if she doesn’t collapse, I’ll eat shit!]

[Tsk, as a public figure, openly inciting gender conflict, this is not easy to clean up!]

[Excuse me, is it too late for me to apply to be a troll now?]

[Count me in, I also want to be a troll cleaning up messes.]

[Upstairs, 20 cents a message, interested?]

...

“Now on Douyin, how can just anyone become a streamer?”

Zhao Qingling was trembling with anger, but Li Ergou had already muted himself, so she could only drop a harsh remark before starting the PK.

[Ling’er, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!]

[The other side really disgraces us men!]

[Tsk, no wonder he’s named Li Ergou, turns out he really is a dog.]

[Can he be more of a dog than you sycophants?]

[Get lost, who are you calling a sycophant?]

[I’m calling you guys!]
