As night fell and the moonlight shone brightly, Lin's house was unusually quiet. Lin sat solemnly on the sofa, flanked by the nervously fidgeting members of Fatty.
The atmosphere was exceptionally still, with a blue Virtual Screen flickering in front of Lin, who was intently focused on it. The same went for Fatty and Lü Liang beside him.
"Alright, Crispy Corners, the Crunchy Plan! Execute!" Dream Source shouted loudly, calling out their established slogan.
This had originally been suggested by Fatty. Since the three of them were Streamers, they should have a team name. Fatty proposed "Iron Triangle," symbolizing their unbreakable bond.
Lü Liang scoffed at this, believing that "Iron Triangle" was too ordinary and did not reflect their lofty aspirations. He then suggested "Brilliant Triangle."
The two argued back and forth over the name until they finally annoyed Lin, who snapped, "Triangle, triangle, you can't get away from angles, can you?"
"Then how about this: 'Crispy Corners'? It's not tacky and satisfies your obsession with angles!"
"Crispy!" Dream Source couldn't help but chime in. Fatty and Lü Liang were unaware of what "Crispy Corners" meant, but Dream Source remembered it and added this catchy phrase.
Thus, their team name was hastily decided as Crispy Corners.
Little did they know that this joking team name would accompany them for a lifetime. In the days to come, the phrase would become popular in the Three Major Star Domains.
"Crispy Corners, Crunchy!"
At that moment, Lin was focused on the Virtual Screen, where his Live Streaming room was displayed. His golden name had been pinned at the top of the chat for nearly half an hour.
The barrage of comments had already exploded, with hundreds of thousands of messages continuously rolling in, wave after wave.
Although Lin had not started the stream and had not said a word upon entering the Live Streaming room, his golden nickname alone was enough to make the Live Streaming room exceptionally popular.
The number of people in the Live Streaming room reached an unprecedented height, with 10,000 people lingering inside, and this number continued to rise steadily.
Not only were Fatty and Lu Liang secretly amazed, but even Lin Ta himself found it hard to believe that his fame had risen to such a level.
The comment section was already overflowing with various Commentaries rolling by.
——
"I can't believe it! Honey, come quickly and watch Chef Lin!"
"Lin, if you have the guts, hurry up and start streaming so we can see!"
"What's going on? My brother has been sitting on the throne for over half an hour without saying a word. He at least spoke last time."
"Bro! Start streaming! I heard you made a new dish; if you cook one, I'll immediately send a hundred Hero Coins to you!"
……
——
Speculations, urgings, and the excitement of the crowd filled the Live Streaming room with all kinds of Commentaries. Although their words varied, they all shared one common theme: curiosity about why Lin had come this time.
Lin, sitting in front of the screen, tapped his fingers. Those who knew him well would notice that he was counting silently, very precisely.
"Zero minutes!"
Suddenly, Lin Ban's closed eyelids lifted, and a gleam sparkled in his eyes. His fingers quickly tapped on the Virtual Screen, typing out a message.
"Good evening, everyone."
The System seemed to know that Lin Jin was about to initiate a Special operation, so even the way he spoke changed.
After Lin typed his message, all the bullet comments were automatically hidden, and all visitors in the room were muted!
Golden characters floated on the screen, lingering for a moment before slowly dissipating like fine sand, reminiscent of the opening titles in a movie.
The Live Streaming room fell silent, but the millions of netizens in front of their screens erupted with enthusiasm.
In an instant, people from different locations and social classes on Azure Planet reacted in unison.
"My! My brother! Finally appeared!"
...
Lin wasn't in a hurry to type the next message. He smiled with the corners of his mouth turned up, his index finger dancing along the edge of the Virtual Screen.
Thirty taps later, half a minute had passed.
"Tomorrow is the day when the results of the Star League Examination will be announced, and it is also the day I promised to start broadcasting with all of you. So, I came to the Live Streaming room early to countdown together."
With everyone muted in the Live Streaming room, there was no immediate reaction; only that golden text slowly floated in the center of the screen, stirring everyone's hearts.
"I will start broadcasting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Before that, I won't go live, but I might appear before you and keep you company."
"For specific details, please check Live Room Two."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin didn't give those people any time to react; he immediately closed the Live Streaming room.
Closing the Live Streaming room was a move enabled by the Management Permissions he had just obtained. This was not a simple exit from the Live Streaming room, but a complete shutdown of the Live Streaming room on the platform.
As a result, over a million users were forcibly kicked out of the Live Streaming room, leaving them stunned as the screen froze on the main interface of the Live Streaming Platform, which was empty and devoid of content.
……
"What’s going on?" a young man muttered to himself while tapping on the Virtual Screen in confusion.
"What the hell, what's this guy doing!" a burly man with tattoos angrily slammed his hand on the table and took a couple of swigs from a nearby beer.
"Hey? Where's Lin?" a dazed Moe Girl audience member scratched her long hair.
Most of the viewers in front of the screen were still trying to process what had happened, but those with sharper minds began to piece together Lin's intentions.
……
Meanwhile, Lin stood up, put away the Virtual Screen, and slowly turned around with his back to Fatty Chen. He asked, "Are you ready? Black."
"Ready! Don't worry, bro!"
Fatty Chen took a deep breath and tucked in his belly. He stood tall and proud like a soldier preparing for battle, looking very serious and solemn.
"Alright then, we can start."
Lin turned back around and pretended to wait for Fatty Chen's next move.
"Click~" Fatty pressed the button on his Live Streamer, slowly exhaling as he adjusted his state.
This is Fatty Chen's first solo livestream, and he appears somewhat nervous, completely lacking the casual demeanor that Lin Yi had when starting his stream.
This is Fatty's first step, and it is a crucial one. Whether he can retain his loyal fans depends entirely on the momentum Lin provides him tonight.
"Ding! The Live Room is officially open, Black Fatty Chen Youliang has started Live Streaming!"
Fatty's livestream is fully underway, and at the same time, a silver banner scrolls across the main interface of the Live Streaming Platform.
This news leaves the visitors who have lingered for more than ten seconds bewildered; they have no idea who "Black Fatty Chen Youliang" is.
However, not knowing him does not dampen their curiosity. Over a million visitors immediately flood into Fatty's livestream!
Like a dam bursting, the number of people in Fatty's livestream rapidly increases, resembling a ticking stopwatch. In just one minute, it skyrockets to over one and a half million viewers.
All users on the Live Streaming Platform are redirected to Fatty's livestream. Even though Fatty was mentally prepared for this, he can't help but raise an eyebrow, breathing heavily with a mix of nervousness and excitement.
"Hello everyone, I am your familiar number one Taster, Fat Black Man!"
Fatty opens his sausage-like mouth wide and smiles brightly.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Lin lowers his head with a confident smile, "Attracting traffic is the fastest way to make him popular."
