BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57 - 57: Live broadcast of the game scene
At 6.50 p.m., Qi Wu and Qin Jiayan arrived at the streaming room.
The production team had provided fifty individual streaming rooms, each equipped with top-notch broadcasting equipment. It was a testament to the production’s substantial budget.
Qu Man, stationed in the control room, was connected to all the contestants’ earpieces. “Attention, all contestants. You have ten minutes to adjust your equipment. After that, you will commence your streams using the accounts we sent the details of to you earlier. Be mindful of your words and actions. We will be monitoring you. ”
After delivering those instructions, Qu Man turned off her earpiece.
Once the instructions were done, Qin Jiayan turned to look at Qi Wu.
To his surprise, she was looking at him too.
Qin Jiayan felt a pang of nervousness. “Have you changed your mind?”
“I was waiting for you.”
With an earnest voice, Qi Wu continued, “I don’t know how to operate this equipment.”
Qin Jiayan let out a sigh of relief. He rubbed the back of his head. “That’s alright. I know how to use them.”
After their interactions, Qin Jiayan formed a general understanding of Qi Wu. She could exude the calm aura of a big shot, but at times, she would show an endearing and naïve side.
Once their broadcasting equipment was set up, Qin Jiayan anxiously waited for 7.00 p.m.
He had adjusted most of the lighting and camera angles to focus on Qi Wu.
In his mind, he believed nothing would captivate the audience more than her.
At exactly 7.00 p.m., everyone started streaming.
Qin Jiayan picked up his phone. He could feel the cold sweat on his palms.
He awkwardly grabbed a tissue and wiped his hands with it. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the upper right corner of his screen where the viewer count would be displayed—o. As expected.
However, before he could dwell on the disappointment, he received a game invitation from Qi Wu.
Turning around, he saw Qi Wu winking at him. “I want to try out a new hero.”
All other thoughts were immediately pushed aside. “Which hero would you like to play?”
“The elf with the bow and arrow.”
Qin Jiayan hesitated for a moment due to her choice of words but quickly understood what she meant. He nodded. “I’ll play support and protect you.”
Thus, while the other contestants struggled to engage their viewers with various talents and gimmicks, Qi Wu and Qin Jiayan just played games.
To ensure that every contestant’s stream ran smoothly, the control room had a wall of screens dedicated to consecutively monitoring all of the streams.
Hence, as other contestants tried desperately to garner viewers, Qi Wu and Qin Jiayan’s stream was particularly eye-catching.
Qu Man silently stared for a whole minute before turning to Song Qi, who was equally silent.
Song Qi gritted his teeth. “Are they for real?”
Qu Man did not immediately respond. Instead, she checked the stats on her tablet.
On the day before, they had made a social media post officially announcing the stream session.
Due to Qi Wu’s sudden entry into the entertainment industry and her absence on social media, many of the fans would end up commenting on the show’s posts instead.
‘Where’s the angel? Tell us now!’
‘Chaoyang TV, right? They’ve started already! Wait for me, my angel!’
‘I wonder what she’ll be streaming. I’m looking forward to it!’
As a result, these tans were now scouring countless live streams, and many had already found Qi Wu.
The viewer count in their stream was no longer at o.
Qu Man grinned slightly and did not respond to Song Qi.
Meanwhile, in Chaoyang TV’s backstage management chat group.
Administrator 01: Who set channel 6533xx to Talent Show? Shouldn’t it be in Gaming?
Administrator 05: My bad. I’ll go and change it now!
Administrator 05 immediately rushed over to the stream in question.
When he saw the angelic face in the camera, he could not help but mutter, “You can’t blame me for this. Aren’t streams with good looks usually in Talent Show?”
When he looked up at the game taking up two-thirds of the stream display, he froze in shock.
“Those skills…
He did not say anything else and hurriedly switched the stream over to the Gaming category.
Thus, an hour later, Qu Man casually glanced at Qi Wu’s stream and realized that the number of viewers had already exceeded 30,000.
This was unbelievable for two amateurs.
Especially since…their chat was so much more active than the streams with 100,000 viewers.
‘101, why is the support even more aggressive than the DPS?’
‘New streamer? I never thought I would be watching torture during a stream these days. Is it because she’s pretty?’
‘She’s too pretty +1. She may be bad, but I can’t get angry with that face.’
‘Although she’s a noob, her support is amazing! None of them wants to fight the DPS now. They have all been scared away by the support.’
‘Support, please play something else! It’s a waste of your talent!’
Qu Man was confused.
As someone who did not pay attention to games, she did not understand what the comments were talking about.
Sensing that something was amiss, Qu Man quickly went to investigate.
In the end, she realized that the Chaoyang TV staff had mistakenly assigned Qi Wu and Qin Jiayan’s stream to the wrong category.
This discovery left her unsure whether to laugh or cry. However, as she observed the stream, she could not help but think that Qin Jiayan might have accidentally entered the wrong competition
Even though she did not have much gaming knowledge, it was apparent that eSports was a more fitting field for Qin Jiayan.
Just as Qu Man was about to instruct the staff to change the stream’s category, several usernames with special effects entered the stream.
‘User GAL-Chenfeng has entered the stream.’
‘User GAL-Luanluan has entered the stream.’
The moment those users with shimmering special effects joined, the viewer count in the upper right corner surged rapidly.
In less than 3 minutes, the viewer count in Qi Wu and Qin Jiayan’s stream had exceeded 100,000.
Qu Man was at a loss for words.
How were they going to recategorize the stream now?
She stared in disbelief and stayed on the stream to watch.
GAT.-Chenfeng: Is this “Unskilled_Charger”?
The comment was highlighted and pinned to the top of the chat.
‘It’s the captain of the eSports team GAL!’
‘Aah, it’s Chenfeng!’
‘Wait! Unskilled_Charger? The unaffiliated player who rejected all the major teams in the country?’
‘He looks so delicate and tender…Oh, no! My heart skipped a beat!’
‘Move aside, lady. I’m here to watch actually skilled players!’
At that moment, Qi Wu seemed to sense something and slowly raised her head.
On her phone screen, her archer character had been surrounded by three opponents. By the time the support arrived, her screen had already turned black.
The support silently stopped there for a second before switching to DPS equipment and killing off all three opponents.
The three opponents immediately spammed question marks in the game chat..
