Chapter 35 - Yanyan, say hello.
He finished his sarcastic remark with great difficulty, and then pressed the Enter key as if he was venting out everything with this motion.
Yet in the end, not only did the message not go through, but a window also popped out on the livestream page.
[Will Never Eat Chicken has been kicked out of the stream by Moderator 1]
[666666]
[These two are too fucking strong, lolololololol ah my god]
[If I were the boss, I would have expired from anger lololololol]
[Wait… I just want to ask. Aren’t the yellow vests given to a boss just ornamental? I remember in other streams, bosses can’t kick out stream followers.]
Yu Yan was also stunned, but he quickly returned to his senses. “Others can’t, but 1 can.”
After saying that, he felt that something was wrong. He added a sentence, “…I let him kick that person out.”
Yi Chen laughed and thought to himself that this person’s lying skills were really poor.
In the second match, Tuantuan and the rest insisted on going to Pochinki—to feel the thrill of the fierce gun fights that happened there. As a result, three people became lootboxes as soon as they landed.
Yu Yan was left alone to cut a bloody swathe through the battlefield, and then carried the strength of a city’s worth of materials into the final circle.
There were only five people left in the game. He held his breath, laying prone in the grass and tensely looking around.
At this time, a neither light nor heavy sound reached his ear. “Tch.”
Yu Yan paused and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I regret it.” Yi Chen’s tone was light. “Shouldn’t have kicked him out just now.”
“?”
“Should’ve muted him first and then let him sit in the stream to get cursed out.” Yi Chen asked, “Isn’t he on your friend’s list?Let him come back again for a bit.”
“…”
[lololoololololol fuck it, I surrender.]
[lololololololololololololololololol I’m laughing my head off, are you the devil ma???]
[Every time I quarrel with someone, I will be very upset afterwards and feel that I didn’t play well…]

He streamed until midnight, and only after he turned the computer off did Yu Yan feel that his eyelids were heavy and flustered.
Recently, he had kept streaming past the set time. He sat in front of the computer for at least 12 hours a day, and it was really unbearable after a long time.
After washing and returning to bed, he found his cellphone full of messages.
Tuantuan: Why hasn’t there been any movement from Boss 1? Is he not going to help you climb the ranks with gifts?
Tuantuan: Although it doesn’t really matter if he gives you anything or not la. You’ll see in a bit that this competition is all about padding. It would be a waste for 1 to even send anything.
Tuantuan: If you let laoshu get the Kills King title&#k2026; I’m afraid Lulu will go crazy.
To be honest, Yu Yan felt more comfortable that 1 didn’t smash him with any gifts tonight. The other person was just an office worker and had already smashed 30,000 or 40,000 yuan worth of gifts to him this month… No matter how high his monthly salary was, that would need to be two months worth of salary ba?
Yu Yan: What do you mean, padding?
Tuantuan: Just to climb the rankings bei. laoshu received more than 60,000 yuan worth of gifts this evening. With his shitty little viewership, do you think that’s possible? In fact, most of that is his own money, just to win the prize. Just watch, in two days, his gift amount will probably be past 300,000 yuan.
Yu Yan: …300,000? Is that necessary ma? Even if you win the prize, the money value is only 200,000 yuan.
Tuantuan: You’re dumb ya. Who’s gunning for that that measly little 200,000 yuan? It’s all for the prize of being the on the recommended lists. Do you know how much exposure you get from being on the front page and the algorithmically compiled frequently viewed list? Besides, isn’t he in the same category as you ma? As long as he tops those rankings, you can’t beat him no matter what you do.
Tuantuan: Besides, did you forget? Gifts are divided fifty-fifty between the platform and the anchor. If he spends 300,000 to get that prize, 150,000 will still be returned to him.
Yu Yan knew the kind of exposure being on those lists would bring. He had originally been on the bottom of the “popular stream list”, and even that had brought him a lot of viewers.
He didn’t expect that even the competition had now become a rich man’s game.
Yu Yan: Then what’s Lulu’s deal….
Tuantuan: This… Lulu and banana were a couple before. Later, banana used her to propel his own popularity and then dumped her. Now, I don’t know how many girlfriends he’s had. Bah!
Yu Yan suddenly understood.
laoshu was banana’s kinsman, and it looked like he was the anchor that banana wanted to cultivate.
No wonder these two wanted to make him more popular, they wanted him to fight against laoshu.
He typed on his keyboard: Then you guys….
Before he could finish typing, the page in front of him suddenly changed, and his cellphone vibrated slightly——
Before he could react, he was startled by his big face on the upper right corner of the screen.
… 1 had video called him, and he had accidentally hit the answer key and taken the call.
He was startled. After a few seconds, he immediately turned over and casually brushed at his hair a bit. “…What’s the matter?”
“Showing you the cat.” The man laughed, his fingers touching the cat’s ear and urging, “Yanyan, say hello.”
Yu Yan: “…”
Why did he get all weird when he listened to this?!
Naturally, the cat didn’t listen to him, instead coming up and bumping the cellphone.
Yu Yan looked at the man’s fingertips, nodded, and said seriously, “Really lovely.”
Yi Chen looked at the screen. Because he had been lying down for a long time, the young man’s bangs were a bit disheveled, his forehead was slightly exposed, and his eyes were a bit bloodshot. Fortunately, although he sat in front of the computer all day, his skin seemed to be unaffected, pale and clear.
Looking at him really made a person’s heart melt.
After a while, he asked, “That anchor competition, do you want to win?”
Yu Yan froze and subconsciously, in a high voice, replied, “No!”
Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed. “I’m just asking, what are you getting nervous for?”
“I’m afraid you’ll smash gifts to me.” Yu Yan replied honestly, “You’ve spent too much money on me already. When I get the money next month, I’ll give some back to you ba?”
Too much?
Yi Chen thought about it. If he remembered correctly, he had only spent a small sum in the tens of thousands ba. The bottle of wine that he usually opened is worth much more.
Seeing that he didn’t say a word in reply, Yu Yan thought that the other side was embarrassed. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else. When the time comes, I can privately transfer it to you.”
Yi Chen thought it was funny. “Do I look like I’m short of money?”
“No, no.” Yu Yan said, “I just think that… It’s not easy for you to make money.”
Yi Chen really laughed this time and said in a hoarse voice, “It really is not easy.”
Yu Yan had put on earphones, so his ears were numbed by the deep laughter. He whispered, “So…”
“Is this what you say to all your viewers who smash gifts to you?”
Yu Yan was stunned. “No.”
“Then why do you always want to save me money?”
“…”
“Who’s saving you money?” There was a sound of a door opening, then a familiar voice said, “Ge, who are you talking to? Auntie? I’ll say hello to her…”
Yi Chen looked up and saw that Yi Ran had come out of the guest room topless with only a pair of shorts on. He blearily walked out of the guest room and was still talking as he drew closer to look at the screen.
The moment when the other party was about to see the screen, he flicked his fingertips, and his cellphone clattered face-down onto the table.
Yi Ran was stunned; it took a moment for him to react to that action. He started with wide eyes as he said, “Oh—I see.”
Yu Yan sat cross-legged by the head of his bed and listened to the voices of the people talking on the other side.
“Ge, you have a little secret.” Yi Ran asked mysteriously, “… Did you get a girlfriend?”
Yi Chen’s face remained the same. “I think you’ve been quite idle recently.”
With just these few words, he drove the other person away. Yi Chen picked up his cellphone and saw that WeChat had already jumped back to the chat page.
Little Anchor: The other side ended the video call. Call Duration: 05:31
Little Anchor: I’m sleeping. Good night!

The next day, a popularity rankings list was added to all of the anchors’ livestream pages. This displayed, in real-time, the award categories that the anchors were participating in.
Yu Yan’s livestream showed a popularity rankings for the “Kills King of the Year” award. He roughly glanced at it. At first place was laoshu, with a popularity of more than 70,000 while second place only had a popularity of a little more than 40,000.
He was in sixth place, with a popularity of 6000. The three places above him were quite a gap away.
As soon as he went online, his private messages icon lit up.
[Administrator 03: Dear anchor, during the StarTV anchor competition, you will get some experience and popularity rewards by sharing your livestream through Weibo every day. For more details please clic.k… ]
Yu Yan casually took a glance and closed his private messages inbox. He didn’t plan on climbing the ranks, so there was no need to waste time worrying about all of this stuff.
Who knew that this private message had been seen by his viewers?
[Does the anchor have a Weibo? What’s it called? Want to follow it!!]
[Will a selfie be posted on Weibo?]
[I wanted to ask this for a long time! Now, what anchor doesn’t have a Weibo? In the future, you can put the livestream link on Weibo before you start streaming, and we’ll share it for you!!]
[Ahhhhhh, can chat by private messages!!]
Yu Yan, of course, had a Weibo, which had been registered by Lu Xiuhe when he was still in school. He would browse it every day. After all, with a career like his where he stays home all day, he would become completely disconnected from society if he didn’t find out matters through the Internet.
However, he only read posts, he didn’t like or share them. The only post on his Weibo was the one that was automatically generated when he had first joined.
“I have a Weibo.” Yu Yan looked at the barrage and thought that they had a point.
Usually, he always just played games during his livestreams, so it wasn’t possible for him to attend to every stream follower in the barrage. After opening up this route, this would be another way for the viewers to communicate with him.
He thought about it and changed his Weibo username.
“Okay, the Weibo ID is yanxyan. In the future, if you have anything you want to say, leave me a message there… I’ll read it when I have time.”
As soon as his voice fell, a pink prompt immediately jumped out of the Fans sidebar.
He casually opened it, glanced at the list of his fans, and was attracted by a Weibo account in the middle of the list.
After all, he was very familiar with the profile picture—the night sky and a full moon.
… He had even had a video call with the person using this profile picture yesterday.
