It was already midnight, and the streets were becoming increasingly quiet, yet some places remained bustling with activity, such as the Virtual Network.
The Hero Live Streaming Platform had emerged as a surprising dark horse, unexpectedly gaining popularity. Under Lin's influence, this platform had made a name for itself on Azure Planet.
Even though it was midnight, the traffic on the platform did not decrease; in fact, it was growing. This was the moment when netizens awakened and when the night dwellers celebrated.
In the Live Room, crowds surged in. After the previous two segments of impressive performances, the audience had stabilized at three million.
Three million people would be considered a top-tier streamer on any Live Streaming Platform on Azure Planet.
This was just a newcomer brought in by Lin; if Ming Lin were to stream personally, it was hard to imagine how explosive that scene would be.
...
Of course, that was a matter for later. For now, all eyes were on Talent Killer Lu Liang as he embarked on his first Live Streaming experience.
Lu Liang was different from Fatty; his personality was not particularly extroverted. In fact, he struggled to open up in front of strangers.
He also lacked Fatty's three months of experience managing live streams, making him feel utterly out of place compared to the seasoned Fatty.
More than ten minutes into the broadcast, Lu Liang was stammering, struggling to articulate his thoughts. Explaining his battle with Lin felt more challenging than climbing a mountain.
Repeatedly, Lu Liang tried to convey one message: "Lin is a master." It seemed their story wasn't as extraordinary as one might imagine.
After ten minutes, Lu Liang managed to clarify what had happened without much embellishment and certainly lacking Fatty's captivating performance; it was rather flat.
Such a flat delivery led to a decline in viewership.
The drop-off was swift; at the moment the story concluded, the numbers plummeted rapidly. In just a minute, the audience count fell by over a million.
Just a moment ago, there were three million tourists, but now there are only over one million, and that number is rapidly declining.
Watching the continuously dropping numbers, Lu Liang began to sweat lightly on his forehead, and his gaze started to wander, making him unable to speak clearly.
Setting aside Lu Liang's previous glory, he was just a big boy, the kind that is very innocent, with a sunny disposition that shone through his bones.
He was as simple as sunshine, just warm and gentle.
In this absurd era, it was clear that such innocence could not capture people's hearts; those tourists who came seeking thrills simply did not care.
This not only made Lu Liang anxious, but beside him, Fatty was even more frantic. He kept gesturing and giving Lu Liang advice, but unfortunately, he was currently in a "rest" state and couldn't step forward to talk, feeling powerless despite his intentions.
Just when the two were at a loss, the appearance of one person turned the tide!
That person could only be Chef Lin!
Chef Lin's golden name appeared in the Live Room, pinned at the top of the bullet screen, reclaiming his throne once again.
When Lin Yi appeared, the bullet screen immediately exploded. The tourists who had been steadily leaving suddenly surged back up!
——
"Come back quickly! Lin is out!"
"Oh my gosh, good thing I didn't leave; he's here! He's here!"
"My brother, I waited until midnight just to see you show your face!"
"Brother! Come out and start streaming!"
The barrage of comments rolled in, and Lü Liang let out a sigh of relief. "This guy finally came out to save me, that's great."
Beside him, Fatty also relaxed, his flushed face calming slightly as he wiped away sweat and murmured, "If my brother is out, he can stabilize this foolish guy..."
Just as Fatty and Lü Liang had hoped, Lin's appearance immediately turned the tide. With just those five characters, he reignited the enthusiasm of the viewers.
However, this was not the scene Lin wanted. Ultimately, Lü Liang still couldn't win over the audience and was relying on Lin's support.
Even though the numbers were rising, it had nothing to do with Lü Liang, which frustrated Lin the most.
Lü Liang was not really suited to be a streamer; he lacked eloquence and unique skills. With just his looks and fame, he could only scrape by as a streamer, even falling short of his previous self as Lindu.
No matter how handsome someone is, if they have nothing to captivate people's hearts, they cannot stay popular for long.
But since Lin was here, he must have had his preparations.
"Lü Liang, I want you to do one thing now: explain your signature move, Leaf Piercing Blossom."
This was Lin's first sentence upon entering the live streaming room and would be his only instruction. His goal was to get this live stream back on track.
Golden characters floated in the bullet screen group like a royal decree, overshadowing the tsunami of comments.
As soon as these words were spoken, viewers were once again stirred with curiosity. Many began to echo Lin's request, leading to a flood of demands for Lü Liang to explain "Leaf Piercing Blossom."
Amidst the thousands of requests fueled by enthusiasm, Lü Liang hesitated in front of the screen. His brows furrowed slightly as he hesitantly said, "Leaf Piercing Blossom is my secret skill..."
Every martial artist has their area of expertise, within which there exists a purity of essence. A signature move is essentially Lü Liang's trump card.
To fully reveal his trump card during a live stream would be foolish. If Lü Liang explained this move "Leaf Piercing Blossom," it would mean that when facing enemies in the future, anyone who had heard the explanation would see its power diminished by at least half.
Explaining the strengths of one's techniques to others is akin to revealing one's fatal flaws.
Thus, Lu Liang hesitated, and it was precisely for this reason that the tourists were frantically inquiring; they too wanted to witness the secrets behind "Azure Planet."
Just as Lu Liang was in a dilemma, Lin sent him a private message: "Trust me, if you demonstrate the technique 'Leaf Piercing Blossom,' I will repay you with countless top-tier Martial Arts in the future!"
This statement shook Lu Liang to his core, and his resolve began to waver.
If someone else had said this to Lu Liang, he would have scoffed. If a well-known master had approached him like this, he would have been skeptical. But coming from Lin, Lu Liang believed wholeheartedly!
Why?
During their previous battle, Lin had used a technique called "Instantaneous Qi Wall." The way he instantly mobilized his Inner Strength to fend off enemies must have involved some extremely Special method.
Lu Liang had long since concluded that Lin must hail from a Mysterious and Ancient Family, with a background so vast it was beyond his imagination.
All of this was evident from Lin's details, his typically Noble demeanor, and how he effortlessly subdued Lu Liang despite not being as talented.
Yet, Lu Liang could never have imagined that everything he fantasized about was merely a facade put on by a Culinary God with an extremely eccentric Personality.
Finally, Lu Liang's mouth cracked into a grin. His brows shot up as he solemnly declared, "Alright! Now, I will explain the techniques behind 'Leaf Piercing Blossom'!"
