47: Chapter 47: Livestream Debut Dominates the Charts! Amateur Overwhelms Top Celebrities!

A late lunch, served well past the usual time, came to an end.

Guli Nazha hummed a cheerful tune as she took the initiative to clear the dishes and head to the kitchen to wash them.

Lin Chen walked to the living room and sprawled out on the large leather sofa.

Before long, Guli Nazha finished washing her hands and came over, sitting down right next to him.

She was wearing ultra-short hot pants, her long, fair legs tucked up under her.

Her smooth, rounded knees pressed intentionally or unintentionally against Lin Chen's thigh.

Their smooth, warm skin brushed against each other.

Guli Nazha didn't seem to notice this ambiguous boundary-crossing at all; not only did she not pull away, but her fair, delicate feet even gently grazed the edge of the sofa.

The fabric of her hot pants dug deep into the crease of her thighs, outlining her provocative curves.

The four of them sat in the living room watching television programs all afternoon.

As evening approached.

Tong Liya and Liu Shishi took the initiative to take on the chores and went out to the supermarket for a big grocery run.

The two beauties drove out and returned with a pile of fresh meat and vegetables, all chosen according to their own preferences.

Lin Chen didn't decline at all; he simply tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen.

After a clatter of pots and pans, a sumptuous feast, complete with appealing color, aroma, and taste, was quickly served on the table.

The three stunning beauties were beaming with happiness after eating this dinner.

They leaned back in their chairs without a care for their image, their delicate, fair hands patting their slightly protruding, flat stomachs.

They all praised Lin Chen's Culinary Arts in unison, saying it had reached a level of perfection.

After the meal, the four of them gathered again in the large living room on the first floor.

It was completely different from the stiff and awkward atmosphere of the afternoon.

After the lubrication of a god-tier meal and spending the better part of the day together, the atmosphere between them had clearly warmed up significantly.

Everyone lounged on the sofa, chatting and laughing in a very harmonious atmosphere, talking until past eleven o'clock at night before reluctantly returning to their respective rooms to rest.

The next morning.

The staff from the Divas Hit the Road Production Team rang the villa doorbell right on time.

Several directors sat in the living room and explained the new format of the program to the four of them in detail.

The core theme remained the classic budget travel mode.

Lin Chen and the others were already mentally prepared for this.

But unexpectedly, the Production Team introduced an extremely bold innovation this time.

They adopted a dual-track mode of 24-hour non-stop live streaming across the entire web, combined with recorded television broadcasts!

Starting early tomorrow morning, the camera crew would go straight to the guests' homes to film them.

All footage would be broadcast in ultra-high definition around the clock on the Mango Video website.

The live streaming rooms would adopt a multi-perspective mode.

Each of the eight permanent guests would have an exclusive, independent live stream room.

Viewers could just click on the channel of whoever they wanted to watch.

In addition, every Friday at 8:00 PM, the Production Team would edit the highlights and explosive moments of the week into a two-hour version to be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV.

A reality show blooming on both the internet and television was absolutely a first in the industry.

The directors also revealed another important segment.

A tour guide had to be selected from among the eight guests, equivalent to the captain of the tour group.

The candidates for tour guide would be chosen between the two male guests, Yue Yunpeng and Lei Jiayin.

Early tomorrow morning, the two of them would canvass for votes from the other six guests via video connection.

Whoever received the most votes would be the boss of this budget trip.

After explaining all the procedures, the staff agreed to start filming at 8:00 AM sharp the next morning, then packed up their things and left the villa.

Lin Chen and the others returned to their rooms to start packing their suitcases for the budget trip.

This journey, full of unknowns and challenges, officially entered the countdown.

July 7th, 8:00 AM sharp.

Even though it was early in the morning and a miserable Tuesday workday.

Yet on the Mango Video webpage, the eight exclusive live stream rooms for Divas Hit the Road were already packed with a sea of viewers.

This reality show had spent a sky-high amount on early publicity and was the annual blockbuster for Hunan Satellite TV, so the online attention was terrifyingly high.

The die-hard fans of various top-tier stars had set their alarms early, waiting in front of their screens, frantically spamming the chat to show their support.

And among this group of big names, the biggest super-explosive point was actually the only amateur—Lin Chen!

Ever since the bombshell news broke over a month ago that five top-tier goddesses with net worths over one hundred million and devastating beauty were lining up to marry the same poor guy, Lin Chen had become the public enemy of all men on the internet.

Netizens couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they scratched their heads: what kind of high incense had this busboy, whose name they hadn't even heard of, burned to be able to get all five national first loves into his family register at once!

For the past month, major websites had been flooded with fake news about Lin Chen.

Reporters relied entirely on their mouths to make things up; they hadn't even managed to snap a single high-definition photo of his face.

Netizens were curious to the extreme about what this man really looked like.

Now the opportunity had arrived!

Lin Chen actually had the audacity to show his face on a reality show!

Everyone would finally be able to see through the live stream lens what this freeloader looked like.

"The troll assault team has assembled! Brothers of the First Battalion, cover me!"

"My keyboard has been starving for action! Today, I'm definitely going to roast this freeloader until he's full of crap!"

"Second Battalion Commander, bring up my Italian artillery! Prepare to fire at any moment!"

"Don't miss out! The debut of the number one freeloader's real face, everyone hurry in and watch!"

"I heard this guy has a unique talent; he can spin a windmill with the thing in his pants? I, Zhao Ritian, am the first to say I don't buy it!"

"You dog bastard, how dare you steal my five goddesses! My forty-meter machete is already drawn; I must chop him up today!"

"Damn, to be honest, this pretty boy is fucking handsome! Assessment complete."

As soon as the live stream signal connected, Lin Chen's personal live room was flooded with a massive number of viewers, like a dam bursting.

The number of online viewers broke the one-million mark in just a few seconds!

The dense barrage of comments covered the screen completely, like a blizzard.

Who would believe it? Among the live rooms of eight big stars, an amateur with supposedly the lowest popularity was showing a crushing lead in online data!

"Lin Chen's live room data is leading, with 1.32 million real-time viewers!"

"Tong Liya, Liu Shishi, and Guli Nazha are ranked second to fourth, with numbers just over the one-million mark."

"Song Zuer is fifth with 890,000. Yue Yunpeng and Lei Jiayin are sixth and seventh, with 810,000 and 770,000 respectively. Teacher Song Dandan is currently at the bottom, but still has over 500,000."

In the backstage monitoring room of Hunan Satellite TV, the staff stared fixedly at the real-time data on the big screen, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

Everyone had long expected that the audience would be interested in this mysterious scandal-ridden husband.

But they never expected the popularity to reach such a terrifying level.

It was completely crushing the top-tier stars they had spent tens of millions to hire.

"Everyone stay calm, this is just a flash in the pan. Netizens are just looking for something fresh; once the curiosity of the first two days wears off, an amateur with no acting skills and no sense of humor will definitely see his live room go cold immediately."

An executive assistant director sitting in front of the monitor held a coffee cup, speaking with great certainty.

The directors beside him nodded in agreement one after another.

Everyone shared the same view.

The selling point of Lin Chen relied entirely on the five female celebrities propping him up.

Once the scandal filter was removed, how could an ordinary passerby keep the picky audience?

"If by any chance he really has the ability to keep these million-plus people, our show will definitely break historical ratings records..."

The chief director, sitting in the very center, held a thermos cup and muttered softly.

A feeling of expectation, which he himself felt was absurd, suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Could a man who could make five goddesses with such high standards fall for him at the same time really lack some hidden skills?

However, as soon as this crazy thought popped up, he extinguished it himself.

Everyone in China knew that Lin Chen was just a good-for-nothing who had gotten lucky.

The marriage between them was purely an absurd farce caused by the women getting drunk.

The Production Team had taken the risk of contract termination to force Lin Chen onto the list just to use him as a shield to attract traffic.

As long as the screen was filled with internet trolls scolding Lin Chen, the negative news surrounding Tong Liya and the other three women could be perfectly washed away.
