Chapter 8

It also began to change.

Previously, it was over thirteen thousand four hundred people.

Now, the number had become fifteen thousand.

Then, sixteen thousand.

Eighteen thousand.

Nineteen thousand.

Twenty thousand.

Twenty-one thousand.

Twenty-three thousand...

The number of online viewers and the popularity heat are not the same thing.

Some live streaming platforms display figures reaching hundreds of millions; those are popularity heat values.

Between popularity heat and the number of online viewers, the platform has a conversion ratio.

Generally, the popularity heat value is definitely dozens of times the real number of online viewers.

As for the number of online viewers,

those are real people, counted one by one!

For a new streamer to achieve this number of real online viewers on the second night of broadcasting,

unless they are celebrities who bring their own traffic, such a phenomenon has never occurred before.

But at this moment, seeing this scene, no one in the bullet comments spoke.

Because every viewer who saw this scene

was secretly wincing in their heart, calculating—Good heavens! Isn't that over a hundred thousand per mouthful?!

Using a Wild Ginseng King just to make instant noodles?

You are a streamer.

If you want to be aloof, be aloof; did we say anything about it?

But how did you go from being aloof to suddenly mocking the audience?

How could you use this method... to mock us?!

How could you use this method... to mock us?!

It's not mockery!

It's humiliation... of us, the hardworking masses!

Have you ever considered the feelings of that Wild Ginseng King...

Did Ning Chen, after finishing his instant noodles,

lie down directly on the soft bed of the small sleeping compartment without even changing his clothes.

The live stream ended abruptly.

And in the eyes of the audience,

this new streamer, Brother Shiguang,

offered not a single word of explanation or farewell.

He didn't even glance at the camera.

He simply went offline just like that, acting incredibly arrogant and supremely aloof,

leaving behind more than twenty thousand eager viewers who were staring right at his live room, witnessing his feat of using a Ginseng King for instant noodles.

They didn't even have time to let out a single "Oh my."

They were kicked out of the live room in one swift motion.

7. Just Once Is Enough, I'll Take You to See the End of Time

Don't be angry with me anymore...

Isn't it enough that I admit I was wrong?

How about I apologize to you?

Look at you, a grown man; can't you be a bit more magnanimous toward me?

I'm a woman, you know; I've even taken the initiative to apologize to you...

I'm giving you a way out, and you still won't take it?

When was the last time we argued that you coaxed me first?...

When we argue, could you coax me first?...

Between dream and wakefulness,

Did Ning Chen opened his eyes.

As he calmly gazed at the dim night light inside the RV,

the words that girl had spoken in his dream still echoed in his ears.

However, there was no expression on his face.

He raised his hand and opened the car window.

Outside, the cool air of five in the morning rushed in.

Not far away, the mountain scenery looked cold and clear.

He gazed out the window.

For a long while, he remained completely motionless.

A long while passed, yet not a single sound stirred.

He lowered his hand but brushed against a guitar hanging nearby.

He looked at the guitar.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and took down the guitar.

It was six in the morning.

The RV sat silently in place.

What Ning Chen did not know was this:

On the Shark Live streaming platform,

Brother Shiguang's broadcast room had just gone live again.

In Jiangcheng City,

at the Municipal Security Bureau,

female officer Zhao Mengmeng, while eating breakfast in the cafeteria,

scrolled through her phone while eating.

Watching various live streams was her pastime during leisure time.

After swiping her finger for a while,

a live broadcast room popped up.

It had nothing to do with her interests.

She raised her hand to swipe it away,

when her finger suddenly froze.

In the live broadcast screen,

was a man inside a vehicle, fiddling with a guitar in his hands.

Although only his profile was visible,

Zhao Mengmeng recognized the person at a glance.

Ning Chen.

The reason Zhao Mengmeng knew Ning Chen

was because of her colleague, and former best friend, Si Shiya.

To be precise, her former colleague and former best friend, Si Shiya.

Two years ago, Si Shiya died in the line of duty during a major case.

Ning Chen was Si Shiya's boyfriend.

Back then, the two were set to marry in half a year, but then that incident occurred.
