44: Chapter 44 Setting the Stage!

There are those who build up their live stream channels through sheer strength and content, and there are those who lack substance and rely on various traffic-driven hype to become popular.

In short, in the era of mobile internet live streaming, there are many ways to become famous, and just as many ways to manipulate the process.

Whether or not one can pull it off depends entirely on their skill level.

And without a doubt, Shen Zhou is someone who possesses this level of skill.

However, at this very moment, although he had already considered no fewer than ten ways to go viral in his mind.

After some thought, he ultimately filtered out several of the methods he had previously considered that might violate the rules.

"Hmm, it still needs to be within the platform's regulations; I shouldn't end up shooting myself in the foot."

While pondering, Shen Zhou operated his phone and directly topped up 100,000 yuan on the Douyin Platform.

100,000 yuan is equivalent to 1,000,000 Douyin coins.

Shen Zhou had tipped on live streaming platforms before, so he knew that 100,000 was no small sum for live streaming.

However, what Shen Zhou did not expect was this.

Just when he was fully counting on the 100,000 yuan to help Mu Shanshan sort out her live stream for the evening.

The situation suddenly took an unexpected turn.

Just after entering Mu Shanshan's live stream room, Shen Zhou saw that she was working hard to stream and was in the middle of a PK battle with someone else.

The person on the other side appeared to be a recently famous internet celebrity, Sunglasses Man.

However, this internet celebrity didn't become popular because of any specific work; his fame was purely due to his penchant for roasting people.

And today, Mu Shanshan happened to connect with this internet celebrity, Sunglasses Man.

"With only 8,000 followers, you have the nerve to PK with others?"

"What a waste of such a delicate, girl-next-door look. Save it; today I'll let you know what true celebrity effect is!"

"Family, listen to my command! Everyone, don't give this blind little nobody a chance."

"Crush her directly! Let the support flow!"

I have to say, this Sunglasses Man actually has some skills.

From the moment the live PK started, Sunglasses Man used his nearly one million followers to firmly control the situation in the live stream.

Sunglasses Man was calling on his followers to crazily like and send gifts.

At the same time, he would occasionally roast Longfa Bank for having terrible service, saying that with less than 10,000 followers and no real talent, Mu Shanshan had the nerve to come out and embarrass herself.

Accompanied by Sunglasses Man's roasting and rallying.

The fans in the live stream were whipped into a frenzy by Sunglasses Man.

In less than a minute, his live stream had received several Carnivals and over a dozen Private Jets, in addition to tens of thousands of likes and other gifts.

Carnivals are high-end gifts on the Douyin Platform; a single Carnival costs 30,000 Douyin coins, equivalent to 3,000 Long coins.

Although a Private Jet is cheaper, it still costs 3,000 Douyin coins, equivalent to 300 Long coins.

After a simple estimate of the total value of these gifts, Shen Zhou discovered that in less than a minute of PK, that Sunglasses Man had already received over ten thousand yuan worth of gifts.

On the other hand, looking at Mu Shanshan's live stream, because she had few followers to begin with, and Sunglasses Man had already launched several waves of attacks.

As a result, after one minute of PK, her live stream had received a grand total of eight likes! You read that right, a grand total of only eight likes!

Of course, facing this situation, you might wonder why such a beautiful woman as Mu Shanshan would only have so few likes on her stream.

In reality, you only need to open the live streaming interface of the Douyin Platform to understand this situation.

There are simply too many beautiful women on the platform, and countless others who can sing and dance.

Compared to these beauties, as a bank employee, Mu Shanshan naturally couldn't compare to the professionals when it came to singing and dancing.

As for being uninhibited, she was further restricted by bank requirements and couldn't act like those other streamers.

So, once you understand this situation, you can imagine just how miserable Mu Shanshan's live stream scene was.

"One little heart, for every little heart, the streamer will do one push-up."

"Just follow the streamer, one little heart, one little heart is enough!"

While Mu Shanshan was still streaming diligently, Shen Zhou had already begun his first round of showing off his wealth.

"That guy is really not giving this beauty any face."

"Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

While speaking, Shen Zhou directly went on a rampage in Mu Shanshan's live stream, gifting twenty Douyin Airships!

Subsequently, he typed a line of text directly in the live stream:

"I'm in a good mood today. Just do twenty push-ups on the acupressure mat! And I'll send another twenty Douyin Airships!"

Douyin Airship, another high-end gift on the Douyin Platform; one Airship is about 20,000 Douyin coins, which is 2,000 Long coins.

Twenty of them would be 40,000 Long coins!

I have to say, Shen Zhou's generosity was absolutely unprecedented for a live stream with only 8,000 followers.

Once the Airships were sent, the online audience in Mu Shanshan's live stream instantly began to gather due to the algorithm.

In less than a moment, the live stream, which originally only had a few dozen people, shot up to two thousand.

"Wow, a big shot! Twenty Douyin Airships! That must be worth tens of thousands!"

"Our brother Sunglasses Man has met a real pro, huh? To think there's a hidden big shot in such a small live stream!"

"Brother Sunglasses Man, someone is challenging you! Hurry up and accept the challenge!"

Indeed, the power of the internet is immense.

Mu Shanshan, who was streaming, also noticed that the gifts in her live stream were exploding.

She immediately and excitedly shouted to the live stream:

"Thank you to this family member, Ni Shui Xing Zhou, thank you for your gifts!"

"Your gift is too valuable; twenty push-ups on the acupressure mat definitely isn't enough, I'll do one hundred for you!"

Saying this, she began the movements in the live stream.

Meanwhile, because the traffic in Mu Shanshan's live stream had suddenly surged, her gifts instantly surpassed the other side.

On the other side, Sunglasses Man clearly sensed that something was off with today's live stream.

"Damn it, it's actually a streamer who plays the pig to eat the tiger."

"Family, think about it, think about the scenes when you queue up at the bank."

"Think about their services!"

"Charge! We can't let this bunch of wealthy vampires win!"

Sometimes, live streaming is something that requires a little bit of skill in setting the narrative.

Sunglasses Man wasn't exactly a nice guy to begin with, so when it came to using this kind of narrative-setting, it came naturally to him.

Sure enough, the fans in the live stream, upon hearing Sunglasses Man's call, instantly ignited a new peak of gift-giving.

Swish, swish, swish!
