Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities-Chapter 41 - 39: 550,000 Orders
Jiang Xiaobai also noticed Chen Jincheng’s murderous expression. Seeing that he was live-streaming, she immediately sat down next to him like a child who’d done something wrong.
Discussing how she’d bought bull d*ck soup to "recharge" Scumbag Cheng was not something for a live stream.
She took out her phone and, sure enough, saw the stream chat was filled with discussions about how "weak" Scumbag Cheng was.
’Looks like I’ve caused trouble.’ She could personally attest that Scumbag Cheng was definitely *not* weak!
Chen Jincheng’s face grew darker and darker. Just then, a notification popped up: Young Master Feng had gifted a Tiao Yin One. He immediately changed the subject, saying with a smile, "Thanks to my bro Guo Feng for the Tiao Yin One!"
He made a point to remember his fans and "bros" who sent gifts on the stream. This Young Master Feng was the guy from the bar the other night.
This was the benefit of offering a bro a cigarette.
As soon as he said his thanks, the screen showed that Young Master Feng had sent a second Tiao Yin One.
Even though Chen Jincheng was laughing inwardly, he immediately said with righteous sincerity, "Bro, you’re spending too much. Don’t send any more, this is enough!"
On the other end, Guo Feng, holding his phone, decisively tapped to send another Tiao Yin One.
’He remembered my name after just one meeting. A bro who shows me that much respect? Of course I’m going to support his stream. What are two or three Tiao Yin Ones between friends?’
’Besides, Cheng is impressive. He woke up and was already a trending topic. And those videos from last night, looking like he was picking out imperial concubines, made me exclaim that the guy really knows how to live.’
Seeing another Tiao Yin One, Chen Jincheng’s inner smile widened. After all, that was a gift worth over 3,000.
He thanked him once more before moving on to a new topic. "Actually, I didn’t start this stream for any particular reason today, except to clarify something. Seriously, the internet today is full of slander against me, and I just want to explain what’s really going on."
"To put it simply, I’m the only male artist at Second-Life Star. So for this kind of storyline, someone has to be paired up with the girls. Plus, Second-Life Star is just starting out, and we’re saving money wherever we can. So, I got roped into it."
"It’s hard labor, really exhausting. Not only do I have to hold every single pretty girl, but some of them cause trouble. One girl didn’t even sit in the right spot—do you have any idea how painful that is? Some of them are like a Big Pendulum, just slamming right into my chest. Anyway, it’s not a job for a human."
Listening to his self-righteous speech, Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.
’Not a job for a human?’
’Scumbag Cheng was probably loving every second of it.’
The viewers in the stream were stunned. At first, he sounded so dead serious that everyone actually thought that might be the case.
But weren’t those last few comments just asking for hate?
Immediately, the long-time fans started chiming in:
"Cheng, I want to do that hard labor, bro! I’d like to apply, no salary needed!"
"I’m an expert at enduring hardship. Please share the application link."
"Cheng, long-time fan here. Give me a chance to be a beast of burden."
"..."
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng replied with great seriousness, "I personally appreciate everyone’s kind offer, but Second-Life Star has no plans to recruit male artists at this time."
As soon as he said that, the long-time fans erupted:
"Cheng, I almost fell for your crap!"
"Yeah, right!"
"Animal!"
"Animal +1"
"..."
The atmosphere in the stream instantly became lively. New viewers all got the same impression: this Chen Jincheng had a real shameless streak.
But judging by the enthusiastic reactions of the long-time fans, it was clear they loved this bro’s phony act.
Someone in the stream gifted a sports car. It wasn’t a particularly expensive gift, but Chen Jincheng noticed the gifter’s nickname seemed to belong to a girl.
This surprised him. "Thanks to Little Jiaojiao for the sports car. This is a real surprise. I, Chen Jincheng, actually have a female fan who gives gifts?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than he saw that this Little Jiaojiao had requested to link up for a voice chat.
Occasionally, when a long-time fan sent a gift and requested to chat, he would accept.
’Should I accept or not?’
’What if it’s some gross dude catfishing as a girl?’
’But on the off chance it’s a real female fan, that’d be a rare treat.’ So, he pressed accept.
And indeed, a girl’s clear voice came through. "Wow, it actually connected."
Then, the girl continued, "Streamer, you’re the number one scumbag on the entire internet. Can you help me figure out if I’ve met a scumbag too?"
"I went to a hotel with my new boyfriend, and I was even wearing really sexy lingerie. But all he cared about was ordering snacks and kept checking to see if they’d arrived. I got mad that the snacks were more important than me, so I canceled his snack order, and then he got mad and left..."
The girl’s sudden story left Chen Jincheng stunned.
’And here I thought I had a female fan. Fucking wishful thinking.’
’The key thing is, her new boyfriend got angry. Does she really have no clue why?’
For the sake of the sports car she’d gifted, he offered a smiling reminder, "Sis, let me put it this way. Sometimes, what a man really wants to buy doesn’t meet the minimum for delivery. So he has to add snacks to pad the order. For example, to buy some... ’protective’ items. You get what I’m saying, right?"
The girl on the call went silent for a moment, then suddenly had an epiphany. "Streamer, you truly live up to your title as the internet’s number one scumbag. You know so much."
Chen Jincheng wasn’t happy to hear that. "Sis, let me state this for the record: this has nothing to do with being a scumbag. This is common knowledge. Ask any of the bros in the stream if they don’t get it."
The long-time fans in the chat immediately played along:
"Cheng, I honestly didn’t get it until you explained!"
"Now I get it!"
"Now I get it!"
"..."
Then the entire chat was filled with just four words: "Now I get it!"
Chen Jincheng wanted to fucking spit blood.
’These guys are something else. They’re all in perfect sync, playing dumb together.’
"PFFT!" Watching the stream’s fans all unite against Scumbag Cheng, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
’Scumbag Cheng’s fans are really something else.’
While he ate his noodles, Chen Jincheng’s stream quickly stabilized at over 15,000 viewers. By the time he finished eating, it had surpassed 20,000.
The total number of unique viewers coming in and out was also 35% higher than usual.
This was all the effect of hitting the trending topics list. If he had streamed longer, the results would have been even better. However, after finishing his noodles and the bull d*ck, he ended the stream.
But even so, in the short time it took to eat his noodles, he had received over 20,000 in gifts. After the platform’s cut, he was left with over 10,000.
This was the benefit of having traffic.
That’s why, in the other world, when MCNs reached their peak, everyone fought tooth and nail for traffic.
When he got to the office, Sister Hong came to report to him. "Boss, Tiao Yin just sent us the shopping cart tracking data. Since the ad video went live, 550,000 units of the Jinghong Women’s Clothing nightgowns have been ordered."
"That number is about what I expected." Chen Jincheng nodded.
Jiang Xiaobai’s video already had over 3.8 million likes and just over 70 million views.
The view-to-conversion ratio was 130:1, which was standard among online influencers, just a bit worse than the certified experts from the other world.
However, many of the people who bought the nightgowns this time probably followed Jiang Xiaobai. So, the next time she shoots this type of ad, the audience verticality will definitely be higher, and the ratio will look much better.
Besides, a ratio is just a ratio; traffic is another matter entirely.
The certified experts from the other world could never achieve this much traffic, and their order numbers couldn’t even come close to what Jiang Xiaobai’s video generated.
He had previously considered Jiang Xiaobai’s future development.
In the other world, although she became a famous online celebrity, the "DJ Goddess," promoting nightlife venues had its limitations, which also limited her ceiling. So, in the future, she could develop in the direction of selling sexy apparel. After all, a great body + that ecstatic expression + sexy clothes was a perfect match.
Once Tiao Yin’s professional expert certification system was released, he could absolutely have her apply as a fashion expert.
