Chapter 2040: A lackluster second half? The main event is coming!
"Hey Cheng, I just got a new phone, so I don't need one right now. So if you could, could you please give this phone away in the live stream?"
To Fang Yun's surprise,
After receiving his message, Erbiandefeng quickly replied.
However, his reply wasn't about the shipping address; instead, he wanted to ask him to simply draw the top-of-the-line iPhone 4s, which was the prize, during the live stream.
"can."
Considering that the other party is not short of money.
So Fang Yun didn't ask any more questions and agreed directly.
These days, only a very small number of people can afford to invest millions or even tens of millions in playing games.
Not to mention that the account the other party invested in wasn't even a top-tier account; it was merely a level 69 elite Wuzhuang account.
This is evident from this point.
This Wind in the Ear is not only very powerful, but also has a special fondness for elite martial arts competitions.
From the perspective of game companies, these can be considered the top-tier and highest-quality players.
After a while.
After Fang Yun heard the wind in his ear, he decided to give away the Crazy 4s to everyone in the live broadcast room.
The entire live stream room immediately erupted in excitement!
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
"Holy crap, a top-of-the-line iPhone 4S worth 7000 yuan, you're just going to throw it away like that?"
"Do you even know what a top-tier tycoon is? The fact that Ren Feng Shao can spend millions to play a level 69 Wuzhuang game shows that his true strength is far more than that. What is a mere mobile phone?"
"Oh my, so Feng Shao is already here?"
"There's no way around it. Brother Cheng has single-handedly raised the prestige of the 'brother' generation too high. Other big shots who are not quite up to par can only avoid his sharp edge."
"Hit me, hit me, Brother Cheng! I really need a phone!"
"What are you talking about? Everyone needs a 7000 yuan phone, why should I hit you?"
"You've missed your chance to win the phone, but I'm happy to win against you. Want to give it a try?"
"This live stream was truly...exhilarating! Not only were there a bunch of big names involved, but the perks were also significantly upgraded; several top-of-the-line iPhone 4s were given away in no time..."
Many viewers were surprised that not only did Erbianfeng give up the chance to claim the top-of-the-line Crazy 4s, but he also successfully persuaded Fang Yun to put the Crazy 4s in the live broadcast room for everyone to win.
This caused everyone's goodwill towards him to skyrocket, and in no time he had successfully been promoted to the 'young' generation.
Despite his unfathomable strength, he failed to be promoted to the "brother" generation.
The reason is, as everyone has said, that Fang Yun has raised the bar too high for the "brother" generation.
Up to now.
In the entire Fantasy Westward Journey world, those who can truly be called "brother" or "sister" are almost all those with names starting with "thousand" or "ten".
Brother Cheng, Brother Qiu, Brother Renzi, Brother K, Brother Xianzi, Sister Xue, Sister Wu, Sister Lian, and so on.
Below the "brother" generation are the "grandfather" generation.
That's right, the seniority ranking in the game world is that abstract. "Brother" is above "grandfather," which is like reversing the heavenly order.
The emergence of the "Grandpa" generation can initially be attributed to the comedian "Beast Master".
However, this is also because Beast Lord's overall strength is slightly inferior to that of Thousand-Character Head.
Therefore, in the early days, most players assumed that the "grandfather" generation was slightly weaker than the "brother" generation.
Until later, the Thousand Flames 'Flame King' suddenly appeared.
Then there's the arrogant "Lord Ao Nai Wo He" from the Orchid Pavilion Preface, who single-handedly conquered the Martial God Altar.
Nowadays, the value of the "grandfather" generation is also rising. Although it cannot yet be on par with the "brother" generation due to the number of people, everyone believes that this is only a matter of time.
Apart from the "brother" and "grandfather" generations, which were almost entirely monopolized by Fang Yun and his group.
No matter how outstanding the abilities or how great the fame of other top figures.
But as long as they haven't directly defeated these older brothers and elders.
They will never be able to advance in the generational ranking and will have to wait for someone else to be ranked.
Among them, Westbrook's younger generation is probably the most well-known and has the highest profile.
While other big names may also be ranked among the younger generation, in terms of strength and influence, they are actually still somewhat behind Westbrook.
So you can see that from here.
The wind in his ear is neither a top-tier server-wide player nor a star player.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream insisted on giving him the title of "youngest".
Besides his top-tier, five-socket, no-level-requirement equipment, which is quite convincing, this is also true of his reputation.
He probably played a significant role in the process of sending the phone away.
Watching the live stream chat buzz with excitement as people moved their phones around their ears.
Fang Yun was happy to see this happen and showed no dissatisfaction at all about being used for publicity.
He was originally not very interested in live streaming, and if it weren't for his fans urging him, he wouldn't have bothered to stream at all.
Right now, the wind in the ear has gained a huge number of fans and has successfully risen to the ranks of the younger generation by giving away mobile phones.
In his view, this was not a bad thing at all, but rather a great thing!
How much money can you make from live streaming?
The main reason why the wind in his ear became famous so quickly was the level-less city weapon in his hand.
He himself became famous overnight in Fang Yun's live broadcast room.
It can be said that Fang Yun's influence is everywhere behind his rise to fame.
And since he was able to become famous overnight thanks to the weapons Fang Yun created and the terrifying popularity of his live stream.
What about everyone else?
Does this mean that as long as you're willing to spend money, this path to fame can be completely replicated?
of course.
The saying goes, "A small fire depends on praise, a big fire depends on fate."
Even with the same methods, it's impossible to create two star players with the same level of fame.
But it is not important.
The important thing is.
Chengwu = Chengming (meaning to become famous).
Once this formula holds true...
Fang Yun didn't even dare to imagine how sought-after his weapons would become in the future!
True.
Even without this formula, his martial arts skills are still extremely rare.
But be aware.
If this formula truly penetrates one's mind and body...
Then his city martial arts will not only be hard to find in the future, but will be priceless!
So one can imagine.
If we can really get this formula working.
Then I'm afraid it won't be long before he goes bankrupt.
The only way is through the production of city weapons.
He can live a life of ease and comfort!
"Indeed, sometimes it's necessary to broaden one's thinking..."
The wind whispering in his ear unexpectedly provided him with a completely new and virtually risk-free source of income.
Fang Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
What's the hype?
How can making a sample be called "piggybacking"?
However, I'm currently live streaming, and although I have many new ideas and plans in mind.
However, Fang Yun is unable to take action yet; he must wait until today's live stream ends.
I just put up the top-of-the-line Crazy 4s from "The Wind in My Ears" for everyone to draw.
While some winners were overjoyed and others who didn't win started cursing.
Fang Yun also started the third lucky draw.
...
Before we knew it, it was noon.
After Fang Yun drew two SSRs in a row at the start of the game, everyone in the live stream thought there would definitely be more fun to watch.
But as it turns out, a coincidence is just a coincidence.
Starting with the third lucky winner.
The quality of the entire "From Cracking to Pulling" program began to decline sharply.
It's not that Fang Yun, the host, has any problems.
On the contrary, his hosting style remained as sophisticated and entertaining as ever.
But as the saying goes, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.
The lucky winners he drew afterward were generally mediocre; there were neither particularly outstanding nor particularly disappointing ones.
This leads to a situation where each number, when it comes to the final scoring stage...
The ratings almost all converged between 'superior people' and 'NPCs'.
That's right, after that, not a single one of the many accounts that followed achieved the rank of "hot" or "pulled," let alone "top-tier."
You can figure it out if you think about it.
Fang Yun's live stream has nearly 50 viewers.
Even if only half of the people sign up for each lottery.
He was randomly selected from 25 people.
And the odds of getting an account that's either outstanding or terrible are in the one in 25 chances.
The odds are extremely low; mediocrity is the norm.
"Damn it, why does this show feel less and less interesting as it goes on?"
"There's nothing we can do. Ever since Feng Shao, the numbers we've been drawn have all been just too damn bad!"
"Come on! If it were really good enough, at least we could have some fun watching it. But the reality is that the accounts behind it neither promote nor support it; they just focus on some random passerby."
"It's understandable, after all, so many people participate in the lottery, it's impossible to get a top-tier account every time. In the end, ordinary players still make up the majority of players in Fantasy Westward Journey."
"The problem is that these accounts don't even have any entertainment value, and after each evaluation, Brother Cheng actually gives out prizes. The top-tier ones get an entry-level Crane 4S, and even the NPCs get an old Crane 4. This is too infuriating!"
"What are you saying? This is a live stream with 50 people! If you were the one who stood out from so many people and was selected, wouldn't you want to receive a prize before leaving after all that work?"
"No matter what, it all comes down to Brother Cheng spoiling his fans!"
"That's about it, it's already 12 o'clock, this show is probably about to end..."
Despite the declining popularity of Fang Yun's live stream, the program's performance deteriorated over time.
But judging from the atmosphere of the comments, it's clear that people are getting impatient.
This is actually quite normal.
Ultimately, live streaming still relies on the entertainment value of the show.
Fang Yun's previous live streams were so popular for two reasons: firstly, the perks were generous, and secondly, the program's entertainment value was truly outstanding.
The original plan for today's new program was to start by drawing two SSR cards in a row.
Everyone thought this would inevitably be another blockbuster, or even a top-tier program that surpasses all its predecessors.
But the subsequent decline caught everyone off guard.
Both were prize draws, and both were hosted by Fang Yun.
How could the program's effect be so bad?
Fang Yun felt this most clearly.
But unlike the audience.
He actually knew from the beginning that the show's popularity couldn't last long.
As a program whose success depends entirely on the audience's skill level.
This is actually very uncontrollable.
In a past life, there was a streamer who did a similar program, and the reason why the program was always well-received was that...
It's because they have a script from the beginning. Once they find something is wrong, they will do something behind the scenes, using their own people's accounts to take over, in order to ensure that the show's effect is not bad.
But Fang Yun never intended to create a script from the very beginning.
In this situation, it's already incredibly lucky that he managed to draw two SSR cards at the start of the game.
The subsequent setbacks were entirely expected.
However, he wasn't actually that worried about it.
Ultimately, this show was just something he used to fill a temporary gap.
It's already noon, as agreed at the beginning.
The show can end now, from the initial enthusiasm to the final push.
The real highlight, however, will not arrive until the afternoon!
"Alright, it's 12:02 PM now. I hereby declare the 'From Hot to Pull' program officially over. We will begin the second program at 1 PM this afternoon, so please be on time!"
Looking at the live stream chat filled with all sorts of complaints.
Fang Yun didn't refute it, but instead spoke directly into the microphone.
"It's finally over. What a long morning..."
"I think it's actually not that bad. The reason you guys think it's long is because your expectations were too high in the beginning. I should just take it easy."
"The broadcast from 'Hang' to 'La' is over. Guess what Brother Cheng plans to broadcast this afternoon?"
"Are you stupid? Today is the day of the martial arts competition. What do you think he'll broadcast this afternoon?"
"Oh my god! I was so dizzy from grabbing my phone that I completely forgot today is the day of the martial arts competition!"
"Wow, it's martial arts day! Brother Cheng, Little Fangcun... I have a feeling this afternoon's program is going to be a hit!"
"Your feeling is right. I actually noticed it a long time ago. All that stuff Cheng-ge did this morning, from 'pulling' to 'pulling,' was just to pad out the time. His real highlight today is the martial arts competition!"
"Hey, you guys are all acting like you can read Cheng Ge's mind. What are you going to say if Cheng Ge doesn't have the martial arts competition this afternoon?"
"No fight? If you don't fight, I'll livestream myself eating my computer, raw!"
"Goodness, if you keep going to talk like this, then I'll really be hoping that Brother Cheng won't have any more martial arts matches..."
Fang Yun announced the official end of the morning's program, "From Hammer to Pull".
Many viewers were inexplicably relieved.
The main issue is that while this program seems relevant to everyone, those who actually followed it for a morning know the truth.
The chances of getting on this show are actually lower than the chances of winning a Crazy 4S!
The odds of winning are low, and the show isn't exciting enough.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone is used to staying here, many people would probably have already left temporarily and planned to come back in the afternoon.
The show has finally come to an end.
Viewers who had watched the live stream all morning breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized it was time to get some food.
Watching the live stream room lose over 100,000 viewers in the blink of an eye.
Fang Yun didn't think much of it, simply labeled it "temporarily away," and then went downstairs to have lunch with Su Jiu.
"Is there anything in the afternoon's program that I need to participate in?"
On her way downstairs, Su Jiu thought about how the morning's program seemed to have been less successful than expected, so she couldn't help but ask Fang Yun.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yun casually waved his hand, "It's alright, the morning was just filler. Although the second half of the program was a bit lacking, it's okay, I'll make up for it this afternoon."
While talking.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the two each filled a plate with a hearty lunch and then began to enjoy their meal.
Half an hour later.
After having eaten and drunk their fill, the two quickly returned to the live stream room.
However, Fang Yun did not start broadcasting immediately. Instead, he opened a brand new game window, entered his account and password, and quickly logged into his small account located in the snowy mountains.
