114: Chapter 114 Treating You to Dinner
...
On her third attempt, Yuyuan finally managed to jump ten times. After completing the punishment, she retreated to the back.
The challenge continued. Since Peach won the first round, she automatically became the defending champion.
The second team sent out Pomelo to challenge her.
Zhang Shan once again sent a nebula duke to each side and then ignored them.
With the first round as a foundation, even more viewers participated in the second round.
Furthermore, many people supported Pomelo this time.
As for the reason, everyone wanted to see Peach get punished.
After all, from a purely visual standpoint, Peach had the best figure among the girls.
However, they did not get their way; Peach still won with the support of Emperor Shan's fans.
As fans of Emperor Shan, they naturally knew who they should support.
Even though they wanted to see the punishment too, Emperor Shan was right there in the Livestream Room.
Supporting Peach right now was the 'politically correct' thing to do.
If they wanted to see Peach punished, there would be plenty of time for that later.
They all knew Emperor Shan wouldn't stay in just one Livestream Room forever.
After all, he had quite a few 'Imperial Concubines.'
With Peach winning the second round, Pomelo also had to undergo the punishment.
The viewers in the Livestream Room had already gotten a taste of the fun, and it was obvious what they would vote for.
With a long face, Pomelo picked up the jump rope and began to skip.
Whether it was Yuyuan's anger or Pomelo's reluctance, it was, of course, all an act.
If you didn't put on a performance and instead happily completed the punishment,
the audience would feel the punishment was too easy and find it boring.
If you acted very reluctant and resistant, or even intentionally made mistakes while doing it, the viewers would feel like they had stumped you. Only then would they be happy and satisfied.
This was the emotional value you provided to the audience.
Although Pomelo's acting wasn't very natural, she was very 'earnest' while jumping for the punishment.
Every time she reached seven or eight jumps, she would trip and have to start over from the beginning.
It took her six tries to barely complete the ten jumps.
In the following rounds, Zhang Shan continued to send a nebula duke to both sides and then left them to it.
Peach eventually couldn't hold out either and also had to do the jump rope punishment.
Soon, the 2v2 PK segment ended. After the Energetic Girls performed the Showmanship Dance for another ten minutes, they began their first daily PK.
Knowing it was their first time doing a PK, Zhang Shan showed the poise of The Authorities.
During the point-stacking phase, he gave everyone one million votes.
To prevent their starting point from being too high and making them arrogant, Zhang Shan didn't give too many votes.
Even so, it triggered bursts of exclamations from the viewers in the Livestream Room.
[My god, a Level 75 big shot is truly fierce.]
[Emperor Shan's Choice.]
[So the big shot who dropped 60 million votes in the Guild Competition yesterday is right here.]
[What did you say? 60 million votes?]
The following elimination rounds were quite intense, if one ignored the fact that everyone on the member list had over 100 points.
After a period of popularity-building livestreams, each of the Energetic Girls had gained a fair amount of fan support.
Although there were no high-level god-tier tycoons among them, there were several mainstays at Level 30+ and 40+.
Zhang Shan didn't make a move during this time, acting instead as a spectator.
As more and more people gathered around him, it was impossible for him to look after everyone.
Take the Energetic Girls, for instance; initially, he even thought about being their 'guardian' and taking all of them for himself.
However, as he received more rewards, he roughly figured out the origin of those rewards.
Out of the seven Energetic Girls, only Peach and Yuyuan provided rewards.
As for the remaining girls, he didn't plan on 'collecting' them.
Without rewards, they had no collection value.
It was like being used to eating fine grain; switching back to coarse grain would be hard to swallow.
Host Damao: "Okay, brothers, the top three have been decided. Congratulations to Peach, Yuyuan, and Coconut for taking the top spots.
Next, we will compete for the Star of the Day. According to the rankings, we invite Coconut to be the first to appeal for votes..."
This young girl, Coconut, was quite endearing. First there was Brother Data, and later someone called Raw Coconut Latte.
Coupled with her making it into the top three now, the fact that so many people liked Coconut proved she was well-suited for this line of work.
Reaching the top three was actually the limit for Coconut's fans.
After appealing for two minutes, seeing that she couldn't pass the threshold, Coconut shifted to thanking the fans who had given her gifts.
Of course, she didn't forget to thank Zhang Shan.
To be honest, Coconut had previously harbored some fantasies about Emperor Shan. She had thought about throwing caution to the wind like Peach.
But alas, Emperor Shan didn't even reply to her private messages.
And as she followed more news about Emperor Shan, she saw that the female streamers he liked were each more well-endowed and beautiful than the last.
She eventually let go of her previous ideas.
He simply didn't think much of her.
Even if she forced herself on him and lay down in front of Emperor Shan, he would probably only help her tuck in the covers.
Things you consider precious and want to hold onto might be worthless in the eyes of others.
They might not even bother to look.
That was reality.
After Coconut was eliminated, it was Yuyuan's turn to appeal for votes. It was only then that Zhang Shan finally made his move.
[Lv75 Qingshan gifted Yuyuan nebula duke x340] (10.2 million diamonds)
[Lv75 Qingshan gifted Peach nebula duke x340] (10.2 million diamonds)
[Lv75 Qingshan: It's over!] (Screen Banner)
He hadn't acted before because he was afraid of discouraging Coconut. Since she was already eliminated, it didn't matter anymore.
Host Damao: "My god, my god..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is awesome! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the 340 gifts..."
"Thank you again, Your Majesty, for the 340 gifts to Yuyuan..."
Looking at the incredibly moved Peach and the stunned Yuyuan, Zhang Shan smiled slightly.
Towards his own people and those about to become his own, he was never stingy.
Peach was so moved she could only cry, while Yuyuan was truly dazed.
She hadn't expected Brother Qingshan to give her so many gifts as well.
This was a whole million yuan.
She could understand him giving to Peach.
But giving to her as well left her a bit bewildered.
Was it just because she said she'd deliver herself to his door? He hadn't even 'eaten' her yet, and he didn't even know if she 'tasted' good.
And he just gave away a million yuan like that?
My god, since when was money this easy to make?
Dad, Mom, your daughter has struck it rich.
With the 20 million votes dropped by Zhang Shan, the first official PK of the Vitality Girls Livestream Room came to an end.
Peach lived up to expectations and won today's Star of the Day. After some celebration, the livestream screen went dark.
Zhang Shan switched to WeChat and sent Peach a message.
Qingshan: "Get ready. Someone will pick you up in a bit. I'm treating you to dinner tonight."
When Peach saw the message from Brother Qingshan, she was instantly excited. Her joy was overflowing uncontrollably.
"Treating me to dinner? He's probably treating me to a 'different' kind of meal, isn't he?"
