Chapter 502 - 268: Even Boss Lei Admires Chen Jincheng!
Tonight, the two top-tier PK streamers who scheduled a battle are probably in for an awkward time.
On Tiao Yin, the most popular PK streamer at the moment was Wangzai. However, Gao Yanyan’s sales figures from his recent product promotions were excellent, trailing only Chen Jincheng, the people from OST, and Mikami Youya.
Therefore, many product sponsors had approached him to promote their goods. After all, not everyone could secure a deal with Second-Life Star, so they had to settle for the next best thing.
This gave Gao Yanyan an idea for how to defeat Wangzai: he would leverage the momentum from his video product promotions.
His plan was simple. During his PK battle with Wangzai, he would have the sponsors who wanted video promotions send him their promotional fees upfront as gifts. This would help him win the battle, and in return, he would gradually create the promotional videos for each of them afterward.
By doing this, he might actually be able to defeat Wangzai, the reigning king of PK battles.
So, he had scheduled a PK battle with Wangzai for tonight, aiming to claim the top spot on the popularity rankings.
But just as the battle was about to begin, both streamers received the same news: Chen Jincheng had once again parachuted into the number one spot on the popularity rankings.
There was an unwritten rule circulating in the PK community: if Chen Jincheng parachutes to the top of the popularity rankings, it’s best to postpone any battles for that spot and fight another day.
But as top-tier PK streamers, how could they possibly back down just because Chen Jincheng had shown up?
That rumor was meant for ordinary PK streamers, not them.
However, when he saw the chat flooded with comments saying, "Lei Xiaojun is in Chen Jincheng’s stream," Gao Yanyan was stunned.
’How could a titan like him be in some influencer’s live stream?’
Nevertheless, he clicked into Chen Jincheng’s live stream. The moment he saw Boss Lei, he quietly sent Wangzai a message: "Tomorrow instead!"
"Tomorrow it is!" Wangzai replied instantly.
The two of them were perfectly in sync.
Even though they were the top PK streamers on Tiao Yin, they were nothing compared to a titan of that caliber.
Especially when he saw that Chen Jincheng’s stream had already reached 780,000+ concurrent viewers and was about to break one million+.
Even if he didn’t know how many of those were bots, the number of real viewers in a situation like this was definitely staggering.
If they insisted on fighting for the number one spot on the popularity rankings, they would most likely crash and burn.
And so, with their retreat, Chen Jincheng parachuted to the number one spot, and the saying that PK streamers should fight another day proved its weight in gold.
...
「In the restaurant.」
Chen Jincheng soon saw the number of concurrent viewers in his live stream break past 800,000+.
Seeing this, he announced to his audience, "I’m sure you’ve all guessed what product I’m about to feature. That’s right, it’s the new phone from Rice Group: the Rice 8Pay."
"News about this new phone has spread everywhere, but no one knows the exact details yet. So, I’d now like to ask President Lei to explain the phone to all of you."
As he spoke, Chen Jincheng turned the camera back toward Boss Lei.
Facing the over 800,000+ viewers in the stream, Lei Xiaojun was more than happy to explain his new phone. He picked up a brand-new Xiaomi 8Pay and began his introduction:
"The Xiaomi 8Pay is a phone specially developed by our company, equipped with the Snapdragon 845 processor..."
"The main feature of this phone is its camera, which is equipped with a rear 18-megapixel wide-angle and 21-megapixel telephoto dual-camera setup..."
"..."
While Lei Xiaojun gave his detailed explanation, Chen Jincheng was keeping an eye on the stream’s viewer count.
As Boss Lei’s dedicated on-camera explanation continued, the viewer count skyrocketed, quickly surpassing their initial estimate of 1 million+.
The gifts flying across the screen also grew more numerous and frequent.
He even saw several celebrities and a famous business mogul appear in the chat.
He couldn’t tell if their accounts were real or fake, but they all started sending gifts the moment they entered—a whole string of Carnivals.
He knew the 100 Carnivals from one particular celebrity were real, because they were from Xue Qian.
Dropping 300,000 yuan in gifts right after joining—now that was showing some serious respect.
Xue Qian himself was completely astonished and couldn’t believe his eyes.
"Is this for real? This is insane," Zhu Zhen exclaimed, his face a mask of awe.
Even though he already knew Chen Jincheng was impressive, seeing Boss Lei in the man’s live stream was enough to completely shatter his perceptions.
"1.05 million+ concurrent viewers now," Xue Qian muttered in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the viewer count in the top-right corner. "Chen Chichi has over forty million followers, but his streams only pull in forty thousand people."
Meanwhile, Master Yu had just finished filming a variety show. When he returned to his dressing room, he found his assistant watching a live stream from which Boss Lei’s voice, introducing a new phone, could be heard.
He walked over curiously to take a look and said in surprise, "Lei Xiaojun? He’s live streaming? With 1.07 million+ concurrent viewers?"
The number truly shocked him.
He had over 3.7 million followers, but his own streams barely scraped past 7,000+ viewers—fewer than many influencers. He had stopped streaming altogether after that.
Now, seeing Boss Lei pull in 1.07 million+ viewers, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "So many people watching... As expected of a titan like him."
The assistant said sheepishly, "Boss, this is Chen Jincheng’s stream. He pulled Boss Lei in to stream with him!"
"..." Hearing this, Master Yu’s expression instantly froze. He took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Chen Jincheng’s stream.
Damn it!
In that instant, he felt as if he’d been viciously slapped across the face.
What a slap in the face.
’Just a moment ago, I was admiring Boss Lei’s stream for having so many viewers. I was even envious. But it turns out the stream belongs to my enemy, Chen Jincheng. Doesn’t that mean I was just envying Chen Jincheng?’
’How could I possibly envy some influencer?’
’Impossible!’
’Absolutely impossible!’
He turned and snapped viciously at his assistant, "It’s working hours. What are you doing watching a live stream? Got nothing better to do, is that it?"
