Perfect Superstar

Chapter 61

PS Chapter 61 – Fly Higher!

Every trouble will naturally come with troublemakers. Ever since Lu Chen started his live broadcasts in [Whale TV], his popularity has risen steadily, his fans have increased continuously, and the momentum of his rise is extremely strong. But this will inevitably attract people who likes to create trouble.

There are troublemakers everywhere. Whether in games, forums, QQ groups or live broadcasts, there are always several active figures. They spare no effort to spit out poison, make rumors and incidents regardless of what is right and wrong, provoke a fierce battle, and destroy whoever retaliate!

The composition of troublemaker is very complicated. They are very idle and bored, jealous by nature, and also from competitors.

Lu Chen’s live broadcasting room has encountered troublemakers several times before. But because there are three moderators, including Li Bai, they were well controlled. Therefore, at that time, it has not raised any problems.

However, the situation this time is totally different. He has just finished playing “The Bright Times Of Early Youth” and the live broadcasting room has a warm and beautiful atmosphere filled with nostalgia of the past, when suddenly the screen was filled with negative barrages, which was very abnormal.

“Garbage anchor, get out of [Whale TV]!”

“This song is too ugly, It’s an insult to my ears!”

“Haha, compared to our Qinger Baby, this is just slag!”

“Brothers, you should just dump this anchor, everyone will support it!”

“If you like someone who can play the guitar and sing at the same time, you should go to big brother SUN. This anchor is no match to big brother SUN.”

“Everyone, just leave. This room is boring!”

“I’m going to see Lady Rain...”

When the troublemaker’s barrage just appeared, the Lu army’s member did not respond immediately. After all there are several hundred thousand online audience and it’s normal that there will be some objections. So, nobody took it seriously.

And there are also the moderators in the live room, which can clean up the troublemakers at a click of the mouse.

But when the number of barrages on the screen keep increasing from ten, to hundreds, and then to thousands, everyone could see that there was a problem.

Has Lu Fei been greatly targeted?

Many fans were infuriated. They felt that at that moment, they were just enjoying a cup of warm milk tea when they suddenly found that there were several flies floating in the cup. Suddenly, they felt nauseated.

In anger, they immediately launched a counter-attack.

“Where are these troublemakers coming from? Get lost to father!”

“I hope your whole family die!”

“What Qinger Baby, she only knows how to act coquettishly! And you dare compare her with our Lu Fei!”

“Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! Get the hell out you troublemakers!”

“What are the moderators doing? Why are you not kicking these troublemakers out and blocking their IP!”

“Some people are just really jealous of Lu Fei!”

“These people are disgusting...”

In fact, the three moderators have already taken actions. They have already kicked a lot of the troublemakers out the room, but the number of troublemakers is just too large. They cannot cope with it at all, making their role basically have no effect in the current situation.

Li Bai hastily sent a message to Lu Chen: “Be careful, someone is intentionally aiming at us, do not fall into their trap!”

One of the methods they use the most to create trouble is to provoke alienation, deliberately pretending that the anchor’s fans have run to another room to create trouble, thus provoking a war between the fans of both sides.

Although this method is very low-level, but because most fans are young and irrational, they can easily arouse their anger using only few words. And regardless of what happened during the war, the result is that both side will suffer.

Li Bai has played in the live broadcast for a long time now, and is familiar with this kind of trick. Moreover, this time he has made a bet with others. Although they agreed that it was all for fun, they didn’t say that they can’t use other methods.

He even guessed that there are several vicious persons behind the scenes.

But at this time, Li Bai couldn’t explain too much too Lu Chen, because it may affect Lu Chen’s emotion, thus may affect the live broadcast. And in case Lu Chen became irrational due to anger, he will really have fallen to their trap!

Li Bai’s concerns are reasonable, but he also underestimated Lu Chen.

Lu Chen may not have experienced it personally before, but he has heard of it1. So, he does not need for Li Bai to remind him.

He was also alert all this time. He immediately said to the microphone, “Everybody, please calm down, don’t move to the rhythm of those troublemakers, and don’t go to another anchor room to quarrel, because that’s what those troublemakers want!”

Lu Chen put down his guitar and showed a relaxed and confident smile: “Don’t quarrel and swear, because this is what the troublemakers are best at. They are used to using their shamelessness to pull others to the same level as them, and then defeat their opponents with their rich shameless experience.”

“We are not on the same level with them...”

“We should look down on them and just smile at this time.”

“Look at them with a disdainful smile!”

His smile was disdainful, but it didn’t make people feel even a bit of resentment, but they felt it was interesting.

“Hahaha, Lu Fei is right!”

“Despise those troublemakers!”

“Look at them with a disdainful smile!”

“High-level skills: Lu Fei’s disdain, damage + 1000, soul impact + 9, troublemaker + 500% damage!”

“They are used to using their shamelessness... Haha, I approved to what Lu Fei said!”

“Such wise words! I have taken these words and no one can take it away from me!”

“Want to bring rhythm? Your insulting our IQ!”

“Supporting the anchor...”

In an instant, the direction of the barrage was reversed by Lu Chen. A large number of ironic barrages directly crushed the speeches of the troublemakers into slag. Then several local fans frequently rewarded aircraft carrier to further strengthen their momentum!

Compared with the prestige of 600,000 online audiences and tens of thousands of Lu Army members, the hundreds of troublemakers can only hold their own for only a few seconds. Whether they want to be rhythmic to stir up trouble, they are doomed to fail.

Lu Chen’s counter-attacks are not just that!

What is he best at?

It is singing!

Then, let’s use a song to counter-attack those who have ulterior motives!

“I’m very happy tonight, because of your support, a miracle that I can’t even imagine happened. I appeared on the hot list at the home page and I’m currently ranked 11th!”

“But I want to say that this is not enough...”

“Because we have incredible courage, because we have incomparable enthusiasm, because we are united and have love!”

“So, let’s fly higher together!”

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen quickly rearranged the camera and microphone, and then stood up with his guitar in his arms.

Because this song needed him to be standing while he sings!

“......

Life is like

A big river

Sometimes quite

And sometimes crazy

Reality is like

A shackle

It binds me

And I can’t break free.

......”

The beginning of the song is low and depressed, because of the setbacks and pressure.

But the depression is short-lived, the greater the pressure, the stronger the rebound. The melody quickly becomes vigorous and fierce!

“......

The mystery of life is as sharp as a knife

It wounds me again and again

I know the kind of happiness I want

And it’s in that higher sky

I want to fly higher

And dance just as crazy,

Breaking out of the embrace

I want to fly higher,

Fly higher

Wings rolled up with storms,

My heart is howling

Fly higher!

......”

8:57, [Whale TV] Lu Fei Live Broadcasting Room, online popularity: 647,310.

Numerous audiences, especially those who are familiar with Lu Chen and have accompanied him all the way, were all stunned!

Because what they see now is not the usual Lu Chen at all. The usual Lu Chen, who is fond of singing “Love in The Wind“, “You at the Same Table” and “Cinderella“.

The present Lu Chen looks young, hot-blooded and passionate... and has a strong fighting power!

His singing no longer sounded clean and limpid, but sounded vigorous and full of vicissitudes of power. It has power-up!

This new song, which they have never heard before, has a completely different style from the previous folk songs.

It has a rock and roll style!

They were surprisingly surprised, and shockingly shocked, but everyone liked it!

Especially a lot of people that have just been provoked by the troublemakers. Now, hearing this hot rock and roll works, their hearts feel happy, incomparable happiness!

There’s no need to quarrel, be disdainful to be distinguish, or be proud of cynicism. One just need to adhere to one’s true self!

Just like the song...

“I want to fly higher, fly higher! Dance just as crazy, breaking out of the embrace!”

“I want to fly higher, fly higher! Wings rolled up with storms, my heart is howling, fly higher!”

“Fly higher, fly higher...”

In front of countless screens, countless viewers were moved by Lu Chen’s songs. Their blood was boiling. Their enthusiasm was thoroughly ignited, and they used countless barrage and countless fish balls to accompany Lu Chen...

“Fly higher!”

TN: Song: Here. Rock and Roll style: Here.

You will notice in the first link that the song was performed in a show called I Am A Singer. For those who have read I’m Really A Superstar. This program was a part of an arc in that novel. I Am A Singer was first mentioned at chapter 1221 on that novel.

TN: Original text is Lu Chen haven’t eaten pork but have seen pigs running. This is a Chinese proverb which mean Although I have not experienced it personally, I have heard of it, I have seen it and I have a little understanding.1

TN: Please comment if you know a better term for people making trouble in live broadcasting other than “troublemaker”. The term used in the novel was sunspot or black mole. And I don’t think it’s good to use “sunspot” here.
