678 Douyuâs Internal Meeting
Meng Jinyangâs words made the fans in Lin Yiâs live stream instantly lose their cool.
They all spat vulgarities and cursed his ancestors.
âWilderness Plagiarist, donât you have any shame? Youâre a DNF gaming streamer, yet you want to compete with an outdoor streamer in gaming? Can you be any more shameless?â
âPeople nowadays are really shameless. They can even try to do such a thing. If I were his father, I would have aborted him back then. How embarrassing.â
!!
Meng Jinyang knew that his words would definitely cause an uproar, but he did not care.
As long as Lin Yi fell for it, it was worth it.
âNo problem, letâs do it,â Lin Yi said, âThe loser will leave the platform. What do you say?â
Meng Jinyang was so happy that he almost jumped up.
âThen itâs settled. Letâs meet at eight oâclock tomorrow night. Whoever doesnât dare will instantly lose.â
âNo problem.â
Meng Jinyang exited Lin Yiâs live stream.
At this moment, the comments in the live stream had already reached a dazzling level.
Seeing Lin Yi accept the challenge, the comments flooded the live stream again.
âBrother Mask, are you crazy? Iâve seen his live broadcast. This person seems to have participated in professional competitions and even won the runner-up position. His PK skills are definitely not bad. If you compete with him, you will definitely end up losing.â
âBrother Mask, I think youâre really arrogant. Do you really think youâre omnipotent?â
âIâm a loyal DNF player. I can tell you very clearly that PK-ing is a skill. Even the famous Brother Bao might not win against him. Youâre not his match at all.â
âThatâs right. Just now, I went to his live-stream room to take a look. This guy strengthened his weapon to +18. The rest of his equipment has reached +15. With this equipment, your health bar will dissapear after a single combo.â
âYou canât say that. When I was in university, my roommate liked to play this game too. I played it for a while, and my PK level was still okay,â Lin Yi said.
âBrother Mask, youâre too arrogant. Even if youâre good, youâre still an amateur player. Heâs a professional. Youâre no match for him. Youâll definitely lose tomorrowâs competition. Your live streaming career is coming to an end.â
âWhy are you so pessimistic? The competition hasnât started yet.â Lin Yi chuckled.
âSee you at 8:00 tomorrow night.â
After saying goodbye to the audience in the live stream, Lin Yi exited the live-stream.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan walked over in a hurry.
âI just heard that you want to PK against someone else? Are you fighting in the game?â
âUm⦠thatâs pretty much it.â
âThen we have to work hard. We canât lose.â
âOf course. When have I ever done anything Iâm not confident in?â
âThatâs true, youâve never disappointed me.â Ji Qingyanâs eyes were filled with the color of moonlight as she smiled.
âYeah.â
She had no idea what PK-ing was, nor did she know how difficult it was.
However, she unconditionally believed that Lin Yi would not lose.
âAlright, itâs getting late. Rest early. Try to win tomorrow.â
âWait a minute, did you forget something?â
âHuh? I didnât forget anything?â
Just as Ji Qingyan was confused, Lin Yi picked her up by the waist.
Ji Qingyan subconsciously screamed and habitually wrapped her arms around Lin Yiâs neck, looking at him inquisitively.
âWhat are you doing?â
âWhen you got off work, didnât you say that if I found you within ten minutes, you would let me have fun with you today?â
She blushed. âWhat time is it now? How could you still remember this?â
âI have such a good memory. Did you think Iâd forget?â
âYou only have such good memory for these sorts of things.â Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. âPut me down, Iâm going to put on a face mask.â
âWhy are you applying it now? Look at the time. Iâll take you to sleep.â
âLin Yi, you hooligan.â
âYouâre already in my hands. Whatâs the point of saying all this?â
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi like a punching bag.
âThen weâll do the same as before. Sleep with your arms around me and donât do anything else.â
âHehehe⦠Are you bargaining with me?â
Not long after, the sound of laughter came from Lin Yiâs room.
As for what he would do next, only the person involved knew.
â¦
Douyu headquarters. The office lights were still on.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the office. He was wearing a simple white casual outfit and was looking at the information in his hand in silence.
The manâs name was Chen Jiaoyang. He was Douyuâs vice president and was mainly in charge of the platformâs operations and resource promotion.
On the sofa in the office sat another man and woman.
...
Compared to Chen Jiaoyang, the two of them were slightly younger.
The manâs name was Guo Shibo, and he was Douyuâs operations director.
The womanâs name was Li Lin, and she was Douyuâs marketing director.
Because the company had other projects ongoing, they had been in a meeting until now.
âWhatâs going on? This is just a rookie streamerâs proposal, yet youâre showing it to me?â Chen Jiaoyang asked.
âBoss, itâs like this. We have a disagreement on this matter, so we want you to make a decision,â Guo Shibo said.
âHeâs not a big streamer. Why are the two of you in disagreement?â
âThe competition for this event is very intense. Neither of them want to give up, so we came to look for you.â
âAlright, letâs make it short. Iâll see whatâs going on.â
Guo Shibo cleared his throat and said,
âOn our platform, the traffic in the DNF section is gradually declining, so I wanted to nurture a high-end streamer to lead the DNF segment. However, President Li is optimistic about another outdoor streamer. She and I have different opinions. We discussed it for a long time but couldnât settle on who to support, so I wanted to ask for Bossâs opinion.â
...
Chen Jiaoyang leaned back in her chair, her brows tightly furrowed as he thought for a few minutes.
âOur platform doesnât lack outdoor streamers, right?â
âThatâs what I thought. Thatâs why I kept pushing for my idea.â
âBoss, even though the DNF section lacks top streamers while the outdoor streamer segment is saturated, I think that the streamer called Brother Mask can bring huge traffic to the platform. Thatâs why I insisted on using more resources and promotions on him,â Li Lin said.
âIn that case, tell me more about him first,â said Chen Jiaoyang.
âHe just started streaming yesterday and broke through 100,000 popularity points. This is very rare among new streamers.â
âA newcomerâs live stream had 100,000 viewers?â Chen Jiaoyang was surprised.
âThatâs right. Moreover, the contents of his live stream was very high-end. He brought his netizens to Jiuzhou Pavilion and showed them a limited edition Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth 126 million. No streamer in Douyu has such ability.â
âThatâs true.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMoreover, in the live broadcast just now, Brother Mask received more than two million yuan in tips. Itâs at least ten times more than Wilderness Plagiarists received. In terms of earning money and popularity, he has the absolute advantage. Thatâs why I strongly recommended him.â
âBut Wilderness Plagiarist is a former professional player. He has a certain popularity and reputation. His potential is limitless.â Guo Shibo said.
âOutdoor streamers usually have a common problem. They canât live stream for a long time. Moreover, the quality of the live stream in the later stages canât be compared to gaming streamers, so I recommend going for Wilderness Plagiarist over him.â
Chen Jiaoyang leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
It was no longer a matter of recommending a streamer.
Guo Shibo and Li Lin were both his proud subordinates. He had to know his limits.
âBoth of you were brought up by me, so I canât be biased toward either of you. Since tomorrow is the last day, let them decide who wins and who loses themselves.â
âSure,â Li Lin said.
She thought highly of Lin Yi. If nothing went wrong, Lin Yi wouldnât lose.
The quality of the live broadcast was obvious. Moreover, he had the support of hardcore fans. It would be very difficult for him to lose.
However, Guo Shibo could no longer sit still.
He clearly knew that Meng Jinyang would not survive if they competed like this.
âBoss, if we compete like this, Wilderness Plagiarist will be disadvantaged. Itâs best to change the method.â
âThen thereâs nothing we can do about it. This matter has to be fair,â said Chen Jiaoyang. âAs Heaven watches on, we have to perform to the best of our abilities.â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts. Itâs settled.â
Clang! Clang! Clang!
âEnter.â
Just as Guo Shibo was in a dilemma, there was a knock on the office door. Guo Shiboâs secretary walked in from outside.
âPresident Chen, Director Guo, Director Li.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Guo Shibo asked.
âI took a look at the situation on the Internet just now. The masked man and Wilderness Plagiarist seem to have agreed to use PK to decide who gets the title of Newcomer king. The loser will leave the platform.â
