162: Live Streaming Extravaganza
Su Xi winked at the camera, her mature sister voice ringing out: "I am Su Xi, your Queen Majesty!"
The bullet chat exploded instantly.
"Ahhh, the three goddesses in the same frame!"
"This beauty... I'm dead!"
"Goddess Su Xi's voice is so mature! Brothers, I'll kneel first to show my respect!"
"Yueyue is still as gentle as ever!"
"Ruoxi's Hanfu today is drop-dead gorgeous!"
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, thanking the netizens for their enthusiasm.
Then, the opening performance began.
The live stream feed cut directly to a solo shot of Du Ruoxi. In the frame, she held a chinese lute, her gaze focused.
As the background music began, Du Ruoxi's pale fingers plucked the strings, and the song "Ambush from Ten Sides" immediately resonated throughout the live stream room!
As the chinese lute piece reached its climax, the bullet chat that had been incredibly lively just a moment ago suddenly stopped scrolling.
The netizens were all immersed in it!
The number of people in the live stream room rose sharply.
Two thousand, three thousand, ten thousand... suddenly, the bullet chat began to scroll frantically again.
"Holy crap! This level of chinese lute playing... it has already far surpassed professional grade!"
"Goddess Ruoxi is still so amazing!"
"This technique, you can't play like this without ten years of foundation!"
"Every time I hear Goddess Ruoxi play 'Ambush from Ten Sides', I get goosebumps. It's too shocking!"
"I've been listening to Goddess Ruoxi's chinese lute for thirty years. I really want to marry Goddess Ruoxi and have her play for me every day."
"To the person above, believe it or not, I'll wake you up with a splash of pee!"
...Many of Du Ruoxi's fans rushed over upon hearing the news, organizing themselves spontaneously. Various small gifts like little hearts, big beers, popularity votes, and kisses instantly crowded out the netizens' bullet chat until it was invisible.
Even more 'Big Brothers' and 'Big Sisters' started sending gifts like sports cars, planes, and cruise ships.
When the song ended, the bullet chat was full of '666' and gift special effects.
Du Ruoxi thanked them one by one, especially those Big Brothers who sent douyin number ones and romantic carriages.
Next was Su Yue.
The live stream camera switched to a solo shot of Su Yue.
After greeting the netizens, she placed her hands on the chinese zither, her fingertips gently plucking the strings as the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" slowly began to play.
Su Yue lowered her eyes slightly, her profile set against the lights, looking as beautiful as a painting.
"Yueyue's chinese zither is still so pleasant to hear!"
"This temperament... it's perfect!"
"As expected of the cheongsam Goddess!"
"The instrument is beautiful, but the person is even more so!"
"It sounds so good! My ears are pregnant!"
By the time Su Yue finished playing, the number of people in the live stream room had already surpassed twenty thousand.
Similarly, all sorts of gifts were flying everywhere.
When it was Su Xi's turn, she walked to the center of the open space and smiled slightly at the camera.
She had already changed into a peach-pink Tang-style Hanfu, every frown and smile appearing even more charming and moving.
The music started; it was the song "Two-faced Yan Xun," which was very popular on TikTok.
It was a very beautiful ancient-style dance.
Every movement and every expression made the netizens' hearts feel like they were being scratched by a cat.
They all wished they could crawl into the screen to watch from a closer distance.
At the end of the piece, Su Xi added a high-difficulty move—a spin followed by a backbend. Her pink skirt bloomed like a flower, and then she stood steadily, flashing a radiant smile at the camera.
The bullet chat went completely crazy.
"Sister Xi can dance?!"
"Oh my god! I finally understand how those ancient faint-hearted monarchs felt."
"Her figure is too good! That waist! Those legs!"
"This flexibility... I'm so envious!"
"That final spin into a backbend was just too perfect!"
By the end of the dance, the number of online viewers in the live stream room had surpassed thirty thousand.
The screen returned to the three of them together. Du Ruoxi and the others shared a look, and Su Xi introduced:
"Family, next, the three of us will cooperate to bring you the piece 'moonlit night on the spring river'!"
This time, the netizens all held their breath, quietly waiting for the upcoming 'trump card.'
Du Ruoxi picked up the chinese lute again, Su Yue placed her hands on the chinese zither, and Su Xi stood in the middle, making an opening gesture.
The first sound was Du Ruoxi's chinese lute, and then Su Yue's chinese zither joined in at the right time.
Su Xi danced gracefully.
This rendition of 'moonlit night on the spring river,' an ensemble of chinese lute and chinese zither paired with Su Xi's exquisite dance, was simply an audiovisual feast.
When the performance ended, the number of people in the live stream room had surpassed fifty thousand and was still continuously increasing!
TikTok's algorithm mechanism pushed this live stream room to even more people!
"Too beautiful!"
"This is what you call a live stream! Those people just shaking their butts are so weak in comparison!"
"Can the three goddesses become permanent residents?"
"Requesting daily live streams!"
"Followed! Liked! Shared!"
The performance segment ended, and it was time for interaction.
Du Ruoxi glanced at the bullet chat, the corners of her lips curling slightly: "What else does everyone want to see? You can type it on the public screen."
The bullet chat was instantly flooded with 'PK.'
"PK! PK! PK!"
"I want to see the goddesses do a PK!"
"Let's have a PK to liven things up!"
Su Yue looked at Du Ruoxi with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Du Ruoxi nodded and said to the camera, "Then let's do one to test the waters."
She opened the PK interface and started random matching.
A few seconds later, she was connected to a streamer from the beauty section named 'Little Peach,' who had 2.2 million followers. There were over twenty thousand people online in her live stream room.
When Little Peach saw she was connected to Du Ruoxi, she jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide: "Wow! Goddess Ruoxi! I... I'm your fan!"
She was so excited that she stuttered a little as she spoke.
Du Ruoxi responded politely: "Hello, Peach."
"Does Sister Ruoxi want to do a PK? On my side..." Little Peach hadn't finished speaking yet.
In the VIP room next door, Wang Chen saw that the time was right; it was time for them to enter the fray!
He picked up his phone and entered the live stream room.
As soon as the ID 'Lazy Sheep Great King' appeared, sharp-eyed netizens immediately noticed.
"Holy crap! President Wang is here!"
"Lazy Sheep Great King has arrived! All unrelated personnel, clear the way!"
"The God of Wealth has entered!"
Wang Chen didn't say a word; he started with 10 carnivals.
"Lazy Sheep Great King sent carnival ×1"
"Lazy Sheep Great King sent carnival ×2"
"Lazy Sheep Great King sent carnival ×3"
...The special effects came one after another, unable to stop.
In just a few seconds, 10 carnivals were sent, worth thirty thousand RMB.
Little Peach's PK health bar was instantly suppressed until only a sliver of health remained.
The Big Brother in her live stream room still wanted to struggle a bit and sent ten rockets.
But immediately following that!
"Qin Xiaoqing sent carnival ×10"
"Li Kid sent carnival ×10"
"Lilian sent carnival ×10"
"Treasure Ting sent carnival ×10"
Four max-level accounts acted simultaneously, each sending 10 carnivals.
That was another forty carnivals, worth one hundred and twenty thousand RMB.
The score on Du Ruoxi's side instantly reached 1,650,867!
Wang Chen simply added another 12 carnivals, and the score directly exceeded 2 million.
Little Peach's PK bar completely disappeared.
The middle of the screen also displayed PK Failure!
In just a few dozen seconds, she was instantly defeated!
She opened her mouth, staring at the word 'Failure' on the screen, unable to speak for a long time.
Finally, she shook her head with a bitter smile: "I admit defeat... this is simply impossible to fight against."
