Tiger Cat Platform, Bai Zhi’s concert stream.
During the song “Long Term Plan” when Meng Fan’s part came in, several comments relating to Meng Fan began to emerge in the live chat. In no time, they had occupied the entire channel.
While Meng Fan streamed, it was normal to have 100,000 or even 200,000 viewers, and he’d gain over 800,000 total viewers in one go too. In the last few days, meng Fan had been promoting this concert during his stream, hence all the fickle netizens from 8th station had tuned in to support him.
Maybe not all 800,000 viewers were present, but there were at least 200,000.
These 200,000 netizens had all heard Meng fan sing before, and knew he was going to perform the song “Plan for Today”. When his voice appeared, they had to cheer for him!
There were about five million viewers in the stream right now, so 200,000 was not a lot mixed in the jumble. However, it was still quite terrifying when all of them began to spam the live comments at once.
“Meng Fatty is here!”
“I can confirm the voice, and see the fatty!”
“Meng boss’s voice sounds so f*cking good!”
“Meng boss 666!”
“He’s so badass!”
“Hahaha here he comes, our Meng fatty can’t be hidden. Just look at his tonnage!”
“Meng fatty is obviously not fat anymore okay?”
“He’s actually quite handsome!”
Seeing that the chat room was suddenly occupied by texts related to Meng Fan, most of the other viewers were puzzled. Who the hell was this Meng boss? They’ve never heard of him; and it seemed like he’s very popular, too.
Of course, there were also some people who recognized him despite not being one of his netizens. This was because all the recent news regarding Bai Zhi’s concert had leaked from Meng Fan’s direction, making it hard to avoid. Also, some of them had searched it up and discovered he held the world record for seven point arcade basketball—What the hell kind of a record is that?—And his run from Hangzhou to Shanghai, the laughing frenzy at the concert, and his dabbling in art.
“What the f*ck, how can this arcade basketball player sing so well?”
“Isn’t this host an art streamer?”
“He’s the one who’s adapting “There’s A Spirit Underground” into a manga!”
“His vocal tone is so attractive!”
“Are all streamers nowadays this multifunctional?”
“He’s really an amazing singer!”
“Could this guy f*cking be lip-synching?”
“… His voice cracked! It’s definitely not lip-synced!”
“This voice crack is terrifying ahahahaha!
“LMAO!”
“This is the best voice I’ve heard this year, no doubt!”
“This year’s Voice of China champion is you!”
“666!”
Everyone who watched the stream was there for the commotion. Plus Meng Fan’s voice crack was really some ecstasy. A sudden barrage of ridicule and coquettishness erupted in the live chat.
Of course, many of the comments were cursing him as well.
On the stage, Bai Zhi was also stunned by the voice crack. Out of habit, she continued to sing a few more lines before her voice changed. It was as if she had been struck by laughter but couldn’t let it out. Soon, there was laughter on the verge of bursting from her song. Painstakingly, she managed to hold it in and sing the last few lines, and when it was Meng Fan’s turn to sing again Bai Zhi put down her mic and began to laugh.
The audience couldn’t see Bai Zhi laughing, but everyone could see her shoulders twitch.
What could Meng Fan do? He was desolate!
He had no idea how his voice suddenly cracked. Being too affectionate and holding hands might have been the cause. Mostly, it was probably due to his lack of experience.
Seeing Bai Zhi turn around to laugh, Meng Fan wanted nothing more than to put on his hat.
It was his turn to sing again.
Meng Fan closed his eyes. No matter what, he refused to look at the audience.
Meng Fan sang a few more lines before it was Bai Zhi’s turn again. Bai Zhi tried hard to restrain her laughter, turning around. When she saw Meng Fan singing with his eyes closed, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She dropped the mic and began to bellow with laughter. She reached out and stopped Meng Fan, waiting for him to open his eyes, she gestured for him to help her sing her part. Regardless, she needed to let the laughter out.
Meng Fan froze up but still continued to sing compliantly. Although this was already a disaster, he couldn’t stop singing. In a rush to begin, his voice didn’t crack this time, but he came in too early. Then, he went off the pitch… Maybe it was his presence that suddenly began to work its metaphysical properties, for when Meng Fan came in early then went off the pitch, he took the live band with him too.
Once the band deviated from the beat, Meng Fan was no longer able to keep up. He tried to force two more lines before putting his microphone down. He looked around, realizing Bai Zhi, the live band, and the live audience were all laughing…
Laugh laugh laugh!
Why don’t they all just keep laughing?!
Nobody can escape!
What could Meng Fan do? He could only clutch the mic to his chest in a praying motion and reveal his smile.
To be honest, Meng Fan did not have much “foresight” towards this concert. He had only prepared to sing seriously. As for smile appeal or the [Concert Killer] task, he didn’t even think about it.
But now, the disaster has come to this. The best method now was to reveal his mysterious smile.
Maybe when everyone was in a laughing frenzy they would forget about his voice crack and off pitched singing.
Meng Fan thought, since it’s been decided, he couldn’t just rely on his smile appeal. He would launch his voice appeal as well. He took the mic and spoke, “This wasn’t what I wanted either.”
Then he began to chuckle stupidly along with everyone. His laughter traveled through the microphone, very clear and penetrating.
Without a doubt, the laughter frenzy scene from Sun Qing Cen’s Shanghai concert was repeating itself at the concert of Bai Zhi!
The scene was covered in laughter, and the channel was lively as well.
“This guy is psychotic hahaha!
“It’s here it’s here, the legendary poisonous smile!”
“Did he f*cking do this on purpose?”
“He did this at Shan Jin bro’s concert last time too! What the f*ck can being funny do though? Hahaha!”
“So happy today!”
“Oh my god, my tears are coming out!”
“This guy’s definitely poison!”
“Ruined! This fine concert’s been ruined!”
“…”
Su Qing Cen, who had gone backstage to fix her makeup was clutching her head as it shuddered from laughter, her whole body was shaking. “I knew it hahahaha I knew it!”
She then stood up and walked to the side of the stage, taking out her phone and opening her conversation in WeChat with Meng Cai Wei. Turning on her video chat, she pointed the camera towards the stage, her hands shaking almost as much as her voice. As she filmed, she described the scene with her voice, “Sister Wei, your brother is really poisonous hahaha! Bai Zhi’s concert has completely been affected!”
She let go of the button and sent it out.
After a minute, Meng Fan finally retracted his smile and laughter. After a few seconds or so, the laughter in the surroundings also began to subdue. There were still some people who still silently twitching from laughing though.
“Ding! You’ve completed task phase 2 of [Concert Killer]; Reward; points +100, validation +1, photogenic appeal +1, singing skill +1.”
At this time, an alert sounded in Meng Fan’s head.
The lethality portion of the [Concert Killer] task referred to the degree of damage he could cause at a concert, and the amount of guidance his influence had, The system could only judge once every hour during the concert, hence once it decided that lethality couldn’t increase anymore, it made a judgment.
The result was a score of 97!
Adding to the lethality points accumulated during Su Qing Cen’s concert, he had over 100 points, allowing him to complete task phase 2 directly.
