Chapter 72 - This live broadcast is not like the others.
After he got over the joy of being fated to meet Liang Liang again, Kang Shengzhe did not manage to usher in his ideal life which consisted of doing nothing but eating, sleeping and falling in love.
Not long after he arrived home, Wang Lu had reminded him several times on WeChat that he had to live broadcast tonight.
Having gained a huge amount of popularity from the broadcast he had with a celebrity, Kang Shengzhe’s name had exploded and it was currently the height of his popularity. For many new fans, it was the first time they were watching a live broadcast, and it goes without saying that countless of people were looking forward to and waiting for the live broadcast tonight.
Although Kang Shengzhe did not hold much enthusiasm for such matters, he was well-aware of the circumstances of every situation he was in; and matters regarding his live broadcasts were a responsibility, and he had to do them to the best of his ability.
Before he had left for his Beijing trip, Kang Shengzhe had told his real intentions to his parents.
Kang Shengzhe’s family was an ordinary one; his mother was a middle school language teacher; his father was a civil servant who worked in a small agency and their financial income could not be considered as well-off. However, his parents were very gentle and open-minded.
The five-million contract was a figure that Kang Shengzhe had tossed out arbitrarily and his parents were even more easy-going than him, even after hearing his explanation. For the family of three, wealth was like floating clouds, which was to say that they were neither pleased by external gains nor were they saddened by personal losses.
If bystanders were to look in, they would definitely think that this family was wonderful. But the truth of the matter was that Kang Shengzhe’s indolent and sluggish appearance as well as his slow character had originated from his family.
Think about it carefully: what kind of buddha nature would a mother have if her first question to her son after finding out he had delayed his college entrance examinations by a year because he had slept in was ‘what do you want to eat for lunch’? Therefore, it should come as no surprise that she managed to raise a lazy son like Kang Shengzhe.
After he finished reporting the happenings in Beijing, Kang Shengzhe returned to his room to rest. When the time struck half past seven, he punctually started his live broadcast. Kang Shengzhe had prepared himself a countless number of times for the liveliness of the broadcast, but when he went green today, the fans that had gathered was still unprecedented and magnificent.
It was only five minutes into his live broadcast when the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had soared to the millions and as the live broadcast progressed, the number of people joining per minute continued to climb.
Kang Shengzhe coughed lightly and began to speak: “Good evening everyone~”
As soon as his voice emerged, there was an immediate frenzy in the live broadcasting room. The fans were responding like mad but the comments in the barrage widely varied.
【AHHHHH KK good evening!!!】
【Attention everyone!! KK has appeared!! Everyone hide your fathers!! This K loves stealing fathers the most!! 】
【Hmm, what should I be doing, I’m a new fan and I don’t have any experience. Can someone tell me if I should be praising K now or should I praise him later, asking the seniors for advice!!!】
【Tugging on a handful of KK’s hair, if you don’t kiss me I won’t let go!】
【Wait, why aren’t you showing your face!! Where’s your camera!! Ahhhhhhh gods above please don’t tease a face fan like me】
Kang Shengzhe had live broadcasted as he usually would and he did not have the habit of revealing his face. Thus, many fans who had been drawn to his appearance basically wanted to sigh, wring their hands, and even slam a bowl against their heads and die.
【This must be the gods going against me.】
【WTF??? Why are you hiding when you have such a high face value!】
【An anchor who relies on his talent to eat is truly awful!】
【Please show your face QAQ, my screen is really dirty and it’s waiting for me to lick it.】
【I have nothing to say other than one line, turn on your camera!! If you have the ability, turn on your camera!!】
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes swept across the barrage of comments that were asking him to turn on his camera but he chose to turn a blind eye to them. The live broadcasting room was his home ground; unlike the Bai Yao broadcast where he had spoken very little because he was her accompaniment, he started to speak according to his own tempo. Very quickly, he smoothly utilised the advantage his voice brought and warmed up the atmosphere.
“Everyone don’t get me wrong; I have reasons for not wanting to turn on my camera. Look at me, I’m as lovely as flowers, if I were to reveal my face, you would only see my beauty and you would ignore my shining soul. Sigh, all of you have to understand, I’m doing this so that we can become friends with a spiritual connection~~~”
【Wait–??? Spiritual connection?? What position does having a spiritual connection have?】
【Yi.... I can’t accept this words.】
【Oh my god, hardcore NSFW anchor reported!】
【A familiar flirting behaviour, this is my K.】
【Haa?? You’re praising yourself to be as lovely as flowers? Is it really okay to steal your fan’s lines?】
【Why is the reason for not turning on his camera so powerful, I can’t even refute it...】
Kang Shengzhe chuckled and his fans’ response was exceedingly sharp.
【You’re not laughing with that facial expression again, right?】
【What a strong sense of déjà vu.】
Even though majority of his fans refused to let it go, Kang Shengzhe ignored them and shifted the topic towards the game. Regarding the entire issue of turning on his camera, it was not that it was something that was awkward to disclose. If that was truly the case, Kang Shengzhe would never have participated in the live broadcast that required him to reveal his face in Beijing.
The reason why he refused to turn it on was because he did not want to set a precedent; if he showed his face, it meant that he would probably have to reveal his face every day. And when it came to revealing faces, there were prerequisites he had to meet for live broadcasting like having to go out of his way to style his appearance and having to dress up every day... just the thought of it was giving Kang Shengzhe a headache.
Therefore, when it came to turning on his camera, no way, don’t even think about it.
“I’ve been busy on the road today, and I haven’t had the time to warm up during the day. What do you want to see? If you obediently listen to me, I’ll let you choose the hero for the first game~”
【Ah! This K is trying to change the topic! Do you really think I would listen... Okay, fine, I’ll listen!】
【If you’re asking us to pick, of course we’ll pick Zhong Kui!】
【Sitting and waiting for Zhong Kui, thank you.】
Previously, when Kang Shengzhe had played Zhong Kui, it was extremely distinctive in character and thus, everyone was very interested in the fluctuating standards of his Zhong Kui which was capable of both overturning its own car and counterattacking. Hence, millions of fans started commenting that their choice was Zhong Kui.
【Ahhhhhhh please brandish your Zhong Kui! Is it a mule or is a horse; use your actions to prove yourself instead of your words!】
Kang Shengzhe laughed: “Who just called my Zhong Kui a mule, my Zhong Kui is very skilled, alright? It has paid its respects to a master and it has been blessed, and it is unmatched in this universe! Who’s calling me a Zhong Kui black hole, where are the moderators? Moderator! Hold that person down!”
【Mother, I’m scared, I’m scared.】
【Did you see that! The black hole anchor is threatening others!】
【Stop bragging KK, believe me, every time you say something like this, you always end up having your face slapped. We can let bygones be bygones when it comes to the previous slaps, but now that we know that you’re as lovely as a flower, my heart will really start hurting. Your face is no longer your sole property.】
【Moderator: I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening.】
Due to the fact that it had been overly chaotic during the previous broadcast, those words that Kang Shengzhe were overlooked. However, now that they were in Kang Shengzhe’s own live broadcasting room, the fans that were attentive to Kang Shengzhe’s words quickly discovered a clue.
【???? Paid its respects to a master? Which master did you pay your respects to??】
【I was about to ask that as well...】
【Which godly saint happened to be so compassionate?】
【FINALLY someone noticed this problem. I had been wondering for a long time, could it be Jian Jian? But isn’t Jian Jian’s first main Li Bai, and his second one, Luna?】
【In the light of the fact, explain!】
In the face of their endless speculations, Kang Shengzhe laughed without saying a word. He honestly laughed too, which caused his voice to undergo a few more turns as compared to when he was expressionless. The fans immediately noticed that something was amiss from his laughter, and they continued to throw out guess even though the game had started.
【Don’t even talk about it. As a person who has constantly watched KK’s broadcast, I actually thought of a person.】
【+1, I have a bold idea.】
The protagonist that they were suspecting hadn’t appeared for a long period of time and many new fans were unaware of the person they were referring to. Thus, those few comments were quickly buried. Furthermore, with Kang Shengzhe choosing Zhong Kui, the fans started watching the live broadcast in earnest.
Kang Shengzhe’s live broadcasts have always been lively and interesting and the first game of Zhong Kui successfully attracted the audience’s attention. And perhaps because the skies had borrowed him strength, Kang Shengzhe displayed a surprisingly good performance. In one game alone, he had thrown out more than twenty hooks, and roughly two-thirds of his hooks had found its targets.
During the victory screen at the end of the game, Kang Shengzhe laughed: “Did you see that? This is the achievement earned by my superb skill, and it is unmatched in the world. In the future, please call me Undefeated KK.”
【Wah wah wah, this man is gone, he’s truly gone.】
【You’re already two meters tall, I think it’s better if you don’t go up to heaven.】
Additionally, because his performance had given his words a lot of strength, the infamous title of ‘Black Hole Zhong Kui’ started shaking among the fans. However, when it was time for the next round, KK declared that he was not willing to play Zhong Kui again, and the image of him being afraid of being beaten back to its original sordid state had the fans laughing helplessly as they eagerly called for the hero again.
【Are you really worthy of your master when you’re being this cowardly?】
【Didn’t you say that you paid your respects to a master and it has been blessed!】
【Propping chin on hands, can you please tell us who your master is...】
【Sure enough, he’s still my K. His fear of making that mistake is still the same.】
Despite what the barrage of comments were saying, Kang Shengzhe was someone who understood the principle of ‘quitting while he was ahead’. Since he had played Zhong Kui well in the starting match, his mood was proportionally good as he scrolled through his friends’ list in the passing. Suddenly, he let out a noise that sounded like a question.
You Liangxing was currently online.
Noticing the change in Kang Shengzhe’s voice, the fans looked at Kang Shengzhe’s friends’ list. Regarding his friends’ list, his old fans could not be clearer about it, and they immediately found an unfamiliar and yet familiar name amidst the list of anchors with one glance.
【 Little Angel Liang Liang 】
Was that not...
The fans who were clear about the beginnings and the later developments because they had constantly tuned into the live broadcasts descended into an uproar instantaneously.
【What is this situation?? Isn’t this his main account?? It turns out not only did he add her as a friend on his smurf, he even added her on his main! How did you do it!!!】
【It’s an illicit affair! This is adultery!】
【Wait a minute!! What is with this car speed, let me on the car! Little Angel Liang Liang, Liang.... Liang, holy fuck, is this actually the Liang Liang I’m thinking about?】
【???? I don’t understand so can someone please give me a summary, this small and transparent newcomer is trembling!
【Here, here, here, Official Explanation: Little Angel Liang Liang is the female protagonist who made KK say that he wanted to carry girls!】
【AHHHHHHHH Zhong Kui! Liang Liang, Zhong Kui? Paying respects to a master? I think I know too much!】
Knag Shengzhe hushed at his audience softly. From start to end, his audience had always been bound to textual communication and they could not make a sound, but his hush seemed to have the intention of trying to quieten them down.
Kang Shengzhe tapped on entertainment, endless fighting, and invited Little Angel Liang Liang.
Some people in the comments were at a loss.
【Hmm, he’s not ranking?】
【Idiot! He can’t invite Sister Liang when she hasn’t even ranked for long! Sister Liang’s rank is not high enough!】
【At the juncture, you should just shut up and spectate.】
【What do I do, I’m feeling jittery. I feel like I’m watching an incredible secret love affair.】
【???? What? He’s really bringing a girl?】
【I really want to know how many games he has been playing behind our backs on both his main and minor accounts combined...】
Within a few seconds, a new name appeared in the team room.
Little Angel Liang Liang had accepted the invitation and entered the room.
Kang Shengzhe quickly typed: — Let’s play games~~~
His manner of speaking was eager and attentive which was a sharp contrast to the high and cold attitude he used whenever he called Little Sword Fairy for games.
T/N: I felt like my internet slang was seriously lacking in this chapter :’))
