Chapter 157: Brother Dao Doing the Promotion, the Fans Taking the Initiative to Increase the Price?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At 8 PM, as the live stream started, all the fans flooded in madly!
Fortunately, this time Li Yidao had given an advance notice.
This led to the platform making thorough preparations in record time!
A temporary rental of a super server!
They even had two backups ready, prepared to handle a full overflow of traffic at any moment!
Moreover!
The platform also conducted comprehensive promotion!
This was the first time Brother Blade had taken the initiative to inform the live stream in advance!
Also, Brother Dao actually wanted to bring a bonus to everyone!
With such a gimmick, it would be strange if the platform didn’t catch it!
It officially started at eight o’clock!
“First!” “I’m the first to report!”
“First!”
“I’m the first!”
Tens of thousands of “first” appeared on the screen!
It could be said that everyone had arrived at the same time!
And the one who typed it first was extremely happy!
“Haha! I’m the first! Did you see it? All the other ‘firsts’ are fake!”
“D*mn it! How many years have you been single, upstairs? That was fast!”
“That’s right! I’m using a $50,000 computer with gigabit internet, and I still couldn’t beat you!”
“Hey! Being the first is really awesome! There are thousands of ‘firsts’! ”
“Where’s Brother Dao? Where’s Brother Dao? Why is there no video? I want to buy yellow paper!”
“Yes, I want to buy yellow paper!”
“Brother Dao, share the link! My wallet is loaded with ammo!”
“I’m telling you! Even if Brother Dao sells a bundle of yellow paper for a million today, I’ll sell my house to buy one!”
“Cut it out! The guy upstairs is making a great deal, buy one for a million and
then win a five million lottery! Who doesn’t know how to pick?”
“Alright, alright, stop chatting! Are your reflexes fast enough?”
“That’s right! I’ll be the first to show up, and when Brother Dao shares the link,
I’ll just buy them all and then sell them to you for a higher price, haha!”
“Report! Report! Scalper here!”
“Scalper? What’s that?”
Li Yidao looked at the continuously scrolling screen in the live stream and was somewhat speechless for a moment.
Especially when he looked at the current number of viewers above, he fell into contemplation.
Ten million people already?
There might be some artificially inflated numbers among them.
But a million people online within the first minute of going live?
How many active users did the entire platform have?
However, that was not important. Li Yidao coughed.
He attracted everyone’s attention and then said, “Thank you all for joining.”
“To be honest, I didn’t expect so many people. I’m truly honored.”
Li Yidao delivered a humble opening statement.
However…
What he received was the audience’s disdain in the live stream.
“Cut it out! Grim Reaper Brother Dao, who dares not to attend your live stream?”
“Wait, Brother Dao, what’s wrong with you? If you’ve been kidnapped, blink your eyes. This attitude doesn’t seem like you!”
“That’s right! Brother Dao, are you implying that the Grim Reaper Legion isn’t doing well?”
“Brother Dao, is it because there are too few people in the live stream? Let’s all invite more people to join!” “Yes, let’s invite more people!”
Li Yidao smiled helplessly.
These netizens didn’t give him a chance to speak.
“Sigh…”
Taking a deep breath, Li Yidao didn’t waste any more time.
He directly said, “I said today I would bring a bonus to everyone, but some of you guessed that I might sell some yellow paper to everyone.”
“The truth is not quite.”
“The bonus I’m bringing you today isn’t yellow paper, after all, yellow paper is for the deceased. Today, I’m bringing you something different.”
Saying this, Li Yidao took out a ritual candle and placed it in front of the camera.
This candle had naturally undergone Soul Attachment.
This time, Li Yidao used ten years of his lifespan for 1,000 candles.
Each candle’s effect was not to be underestimated…
Originally, the fans in the live stream room, upon hearing that Li Yidao was going to bring something different, thought he was going to do a real product promotion.
However…
When they saw the ritual candle, the comments in the live stream room paused for a full three seconds.
And then came the endless teasing.
“Oh my! Brother Dao, is this candle not meant for the deceased?”
“I’m totally baffled! Yellow paper is for the deceased, and what about this candle?”
“The guy above got it wrong. Of course, candles are not meant for burning, they are meant for lighting!”
“Chirp, chirp. Can’t candles also be used for candlelit dinners?”
“D*mn! Are you taking a ritual candle to arrange a candlelit dinner? Is your girlfriend okay with that?”
“Oh, no! I can’t handle this anymore! I already have that image in my mind! Arranging a candlelit dinner with a ritual candle, are you planning to use your girlfriend as food?”
“Brother Dao, you’re the real deal. But I’ll buy the candle too. Brother Dao, tell us how much one candle costs.”
“Yes, yes, Brother Dao, just share the link already. I can’t wait!”
“Who cares about the price? Brother Dao’s products are top-notch! I’ll buy first and think later!”
“That’s right! Brother Dao, you can set the price a bit higher. If it’s too cheap, I’m afraid I won’t be able to snatch one. Add a few extra zeros.’
“F*ck! Are you rich people showing off? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money?”
“What’s the matter? You want to fight me? Poor b*stard! If you can’t afford it, just get lost!”
“F*ck! I can’t stand this anymore!”
“Alright, alright. If you want to argue, go out and do what you like! Don’t bother Brother Dao’s sales. Be careful, he may give each of you a follow!”
“That’s right! If you’re not buying, just leave!”
Seeing the enthusiasm of the live stream viewers, Li Yidao didn’t waste any more time.
“Don’t worry, there’s plenty to go around this time. I’ve prepared a thousand candles for you all.”
“Each candle is priced at 999, and each ID is limited to one candle. Everyone should be able to grab one.”
Li Yidao smiled faintly and prepared to start sharing the link.
However, when they heard Li Yidao mention a thousand candles and “plenty to go around, ” the netizens were left bewildered.
“I mean, Brother Dao, do you have a misunderstanding about ‘plenty to go around’?”
“Yeah… Is this what you call ‘plenty to go around’? I have to ask, does Brother Dao have a girlfriend?”
“What does the person above mean by asking Brother Dao if he has a girlfriend? Does it have anything to do with Brother Dao selling candles?”
“I just want to know if Brother Dao understands what ‘plenty to go around’ means.”
“Huh? You changed lanes pretty quickly!”
“Haha! I can’t stop laughing! But Brother Dao, with a thousand candles facing our ten million viewers, do you really think this is ‘plenty to go around!?”
“That’s right! We strongly demand that the streamer adjust the price to 99,900”
“Yes, yes! 99,900!”
“99,900!”
“99,900!”
In an instant, the live stream room was flooded with comments of “99,900.”
Li Yidao looked at the time-sync comments and couldn’t help but feel that it was surreal.
In a live stream room, where products were being sold, people were actively increasing the price?
Were all the netizens this generous?
Also, in just a short while, there were gifts worth millions.
Li Yidao thought, “I wanted to provide you all with a bonus, and you’re actually raising the price voluntarily?”
“I really want to ask, did you all find this money on the street?”
“Can you at least tell me where you found it?”
In fact, it wasn’t just Li Yidao who was baffled.
At this moment, Wang Shengqiang, who had been following Li Yidao’s live stream, and his secretary Xiaowen both stared wide-eyed in astonishment! Since the platform started operating, has there ever been anything like this?
Brother Dao’s popularity was above every precedent now..
