Chapter 64

There was no sound in Lu Yan He's livestreaming room, only the image of him looking down at his book. Occasionally, he would take a pen to write or draw on paper to make some notes, but most of the time, it was a static image as if a pause button had been pressed.

Such livestream content exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, the livestreaming platform's backend staff noticed this livestreaming room, which had seen an abnormal growth in viewership in a short time, and subsequently learned the identity of the streamer: it was Lu Yan He, the protagonist of the righteous act that had gone viral across the entire internet over the past two days.

His identity as an artist was negligible, but the news of him wittily cooperating with the police to subdue the criminal had truly gone viral.

The backend staff didn't think twice and immediately pushed Lu Yan He's livestreaming room to the recommendation interface on the homepage.

After Lu Yan He's livestreaming room received the homepage recommendation, the number of viewers surged.

This was mainly because the backend used a screenshot of him looking at his book as the cover for his livestream. If nothing else, this face was still attractive and drew many people in.

The platform's recommendation blurb even included the words: "After heroically subduing a criminal, a high-quality idol livestreams to study!"

It was just that Lu Yan He's livestream content was too monotonous; even the staff members felt there were no highlights to promote after watching it.

Who would have nothing better to do than watch someone read a book?

Many people flooded into the livestreaming room, and the number of viewers quickly reached several thousand, then broke ten thousand.

Originally, there were a few old fans still explaining in the chat room, telling the new viewers that this livestreaming room was usually like this, and that Lu Yan He almost never chatted with anyone and had no other livestream content.

But now there were too many people coming in, and the chat room was scrolling too fast for them to explain, so they had to give up.

Many people clicked in out of curiosity, watched for a while, found it truly boring, and left.

After the number of viewers broke ten thousand, it showed an overall downward trend.

"Old Lu is really livestreaming," Li Zhibai said.

Yan Liang was doing push-ups in the living room; suddenly hearing Li Zhibai's words, he stopped and said, "Ah?"

Li Zhibai said, "He really opened a livestreaming room to study. Didn't you know?"

Yan Liang said, "I didn't know."

Lu Yan He had told both of them about his plan to livestream, but they hadn't heard him mention it again later, so both of them thought Lu Yan He had dropped the idea.

After Lu Yan He started livestreaming, he was always in his own room, neither speaking nor making any other noise, so Yan Liang and Li Zhibai just assumed he was reading in his room and didn't know he had already started livestreaming.

They huddled together to look at the image on the phone screen.

"... Is he really just livestreaming himself reading? No interaction at all?"

"Seems like it."

"It won't be like this the whole time, will it?"

"I saw someone in the chat room just now saying he's been livestreaming for many days, and it's like this every time."

"This... what kind of effect can this have for a livestream? Does he really think he can increase his popularity while studying like this?"

"There are over four thousand people watching."

"You didn't look at the chat room; almost everyone is saying it's boring."

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai didn't snap out of it for a long time.

Li Zhibai opened the gift interface and sent Lu Yan He two 'Lucky Balloons', each worth 100 yuan.

Yan Liang looked at Li Zhibai in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"At least support him a little," Li Zhibai said. "Look, it's been so long, and no one has even sent him a gift."

Someone in the chat room immediately said: Damn, such boring livestream content, and there's actually a rich lady sending Lucky Balloons? Looks like good looks really are justice!

Li Zhibai's face immediately turned black.

He typed angrily: Rich lady your sister, I'm a guy!

Yan Liang started laughing.

Several people typed "Hahahaha".

That person posted again: Awesome, looks like as long as you're good-looking, you can attract both men and women.

Li Zhibai looked irritable, wishing he could pull that person out of the livestreaming room and beat them up.

Yan Liang: "There are all kinds of people online, don't get angry at someone like that."

Li Zhibai said: "It's clear that Old Lu's livestreaming room really has no fans left."

"How did you find his livestreaming room?"

"I saw the recommendation on the homepage and saw his photo. At first, I thought someone was using his photo to do a fake livestream," Li Zhibai said.

Yan Liang felt a bit envious and said, "Now he's finally popular again, even Jiang Yuqian is asking him to act."

"What's there to be envious about? With the effort and obedience you're showing now, you'll have all that in the future too," Li Zhibai patted Yan Liang's shoulder. "Work hard, kid."

After midnight, Lu Yan He yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.

He closed his book and was startled to see that his livestreaming room had 1,039 viewers.

Throughout the whole evening, he hadn't paid attention to the activity in his livestreaming room, and he didn't even know that at its peak, it had exceeded ten thousand people.

He was surprised by the over a thousand viewers, turned on the audio, and asked, "Why are there so many people suddenly?"

Someone immediately answered: The homepage recommended you.

Having livestreamed for nearly four hours, Lu Yan He finally spoke a sentence, startling many people who had the livestream running in the background while doing other things; they didn't even know where the sound was coming from.

The chat room quickly became active again, with a group of people popping up.

What surprised Lu Yan He even more was that someone had actually sent him two "Lucky Balloons".

This was the first time someone had sent him a gift since he started livestreaming.

According to the platform's revenue share, he could keep half.

Lu Yan He said: "Thank you. That's it for today's livestream, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned off the livestream.

Lu Yan He walked out of the room to pour some water.

Seeing him come out, Yan Liang asked: "Livestream over?"

Lu Yan He nodded, then suddenly realized something and asked: "How did you know I had started livestreaming?"

Yan Liang hummed twice and said: "Li Zhibai saw your recommendation on the livestreaming platform. We watched for a while, and he even sent you two Lucky Balloons."

Lu Yan He's eyes widened.

So those two Lucky Balloons were from Li Zhibai.

He was wondering why someone had suddenly sent gifts.

For a livestream of his that had no entertainment value... yes, after livestreaming for so many days, Lu Yan He finally admitted this fact. Before, he always felt that although his livestream had no content, it was all about companionship. Could it be that no one, when they wanted to study alone, felt more motivated if there was a streamer studying along with them?

A streamer who had the idea that he might find a unique path to popularity deeply realized one truth: success through a unique path is often one in ten thousand.

Why should he be that one in ten thousand?

Lu Yan He was not discouraged, however.

Livestreaming had become a habit, and even if not many people watched, at least he had a few fans who were often online.

Like that "Beautiful Girl Lanlan".

After meeting her yesterday, he didn't know how she was doing afterwards.
