36: Another invitation from the model airplane program team

That evening, Su Yu took a bus back to Chongqing, then booked a flight for the following afternoon, flying directly to the capital.

Because the next day was exactly the platform's withdrawal date.

So, when Su Yu withdrew nearly 400,000 in gift donations to his bank card, securing the funds, his heart finally settled.

The first thing to do after getting money, naturally, was to buy a new batch of more advanced streaming equipment.

During the day, Su Yu spent 100,000 to equip himself with the best streaming tools currently available.

After all, he was now a somewhat famous Streamer.

If he were to be criticized for network or video quality issues in his live stream, affecting the streaming experience, it would not be worth the loss.

After buying the streaming equipment, he immediately bought himself a new outfit.

Su Yu didn't return to his rented room until late afternoon, close to his departure time.

However, what he didn't know was this.

At the same time.

The video of "A talented Streamer using sky rocket fireworks to shoot down three drones" made it to Kuaishou's hot search.

Moreover, under the explosively popular video, the topics basically all included "Tianhao's Global Tour."

This made the already eye-catching title even more prominent.

As time went on, some even dug up the live stream clip of Su Yu shooting down a drone with a dog bowl during his first live stream, adding fuel to the already popular video, making it go viral a second time.

Even Su Yu himself didn't know that his Kuaishou followers had increased from just over a thousand to more than seventy thousand in just one morning.

As the main streaming account, Su Yu's comment section was constantly being bombarded by all sorts of comments every second.

"Just finished watching Tianhao's live stream replay, I can only say the Streamer is practically a drone killer, he's got something!"

"The Streamer probably doesn't know yet, but he's already become the number one public enemy of the entire drone community! I've seen many drone flying bloggers online wanting to challenge the soaring monkey missile."

"Hahahahaha, after seeing the live stream clip, I specifically came to the Streamer's account to leave a comment, Streamer is awesome! Oh, and by the way, are all drone pilots in our country this bad?"

"Who said that? Being shot down by sky rocket only proves that those few drone pilots are too amateurish! Don't compare them with professionals like us."

"Exactly, exactly, do you know about the recently popular model aircraft stunt challenge? Those two guys probably wouldn't even rank at the bottom in that program!"

"Tsk, the person upstairs talks so big, then why doesn't that challenge program group dare to invite the Streamer?"

"You wait, I'm going to @ the program group's official account right now."

Soon, under the official account of the Ace Pilot Program Group, an army of @ mentions appeared in almost every video.

"@Ace Pilot Program Group, LOL, isn't the program group going to do anything? You're about to be steamrolled by a Streamer!"

"@Ace Pilot Program Group, exactly, exactly, I suggest Director Liao of the program group stop with all the other flashy competitions and just invite that Zha Gou Pen Streamer to verify your quality."

"@Ace Pilot Program Group, agreed! Special maneuvers are all about practice makes perfect; with diligent practice, success is always possible. But talking the talk without walking the walk is just a pretense; if you can't perform in real combat, it's useless."

"@Ace Pilot Program Group, the drones in your competition aren't the propeller-driven kind; they are real fighter jet model aircraft. There's no way they can't outfly a soaring monkey missile, right?"

As the associate director and program planner for the Ace Pilot Program Group, Liao Kun finally couldn't sit still, watching the constant stream of @ mentions in the backend messages.

Indeed.

As the first high-tech display variety show in the country, it attracted a large number of viewers and fans when it first aired, especially boys who liked technology and military affairs.

But the sudden hot search yesterday put the program group on the hot seat.

"Director Liao, that's the situation."

"Now netizens are asking us to invite that Streamer to verify the program's quality, what do you think?"

Liao Kun squinted, seemingly deep in thought.

"Xiao Wang, do you think it's appropriate to invite an entertainment Streamer to a program as big as ours?"

"Or rather, does our program group need to use a small Streamer to boost its popularity?"

The employee named Xiao Wang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Director Liao, that Streamer named Su Yu is not simple!"

"Because of yesterday's hot search, he is very popular on Kuaishou now, his popularity even once surpassed Li Tianhao."

"Moreover, I heard he also received an invitation from a professor at Qingbei University and is just about to come to the capital."

"As the hottest traffic right now, since netizens want to see our strength, I think it's not impossible for us to extend an invitation as the program group."

"If we can really capitalize on this wave of traffic, it will greatly boost the popularity of our program group!"

Liao Kun nodded upon hearing this.

"If he accepts the invitation, can you ensure our contestants will win against him?"

"Let's not have any unexpected incidents then."

Employee Xiao Wang pushed up his glasses, revealing a confident smile.

"Director Liao, you can rest assured."

"That Streamer's sky rocket can only take down civilian aerial photography drones."

"The contestants participating in our program operate top-tier self-developed model aircraft, with a minimum speed of seventy kilometers per hour. model aircraft and drones are simply not on the same level."

Liao Kun's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance upon hearing this.

"Alright then, in that case, send someone to the airport tonight to extend the invitation in person, and remember to turn on the live stream when you go to invite him."

"And at the same time, also release an invitation video through Kuaishou's official account to ensure that little Streamer definitely sees it!"

"No matter if he accepts or not, we'll get this wave of traffic."

...8:30 PM.

The plane landed on time at the capital airport.

Before leaving Chongqing, Su Yu, following Xiao Yuan's suggestion, posted a short video with a follow-up preview on his streaming account.

The main content of the video included his departure for Qingbei University in the capital this afternoon, and his participation in a university rocket model competition a week later.

To show the authenticity of the video, he even posted the flight ticket time in the video.

He wouldn't be streaming for a while.

So, using videos to maintain relationships with fans was also one of the very important marketing strategies.

However, what Su Yu never expected was this.

His current status was vastly different from before.

Dragging his luggage, he had just walked out of the arrival gate of the capital International Airport when he saw a large banner approaching him, along with more than a dozen staff members wearing unified program group uniforms and carrying live streaming cameras.

The banner read, "Ace Pilot Program Group, warmly welcomes Streamer Su Yu to the capital!"
