Chen Xu pointed at the dartboard and asked one of the girls who looked like a shop assistant, "Do you have darts here?"

"Yes, I'll get them." The shop assistant went to the counter and brought over a box of darts.

Chen Xu took it and thanked her. Then he walked in front of the phone's camera.

"Here I go."

Chen Xu took a look at himself on the screen and was startled. Is that really me?

He had heard that the beauty filters on short video apps were powerful, but this was his first time filming, and it was truly exaggerated.

His eyes were bigger, his face was smaller, and his skin was whiter and smoother. You couldn't tell it was him at all.

"No wonder all the girls on short videos are so pretty. So that's how it is."

He marveled inwardly.

With this, his previous worries were completely unnecessary. Even if people who knew him saw this short video, they definitely wouldn't recognize him.

He had only glanced at it a few times when a large wave of comments flooded in, filling the entire screen.

"Your fans are really enthusiastic."

Chen Xu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Dai Zixin's fan base to be so large.

To be honest, it felt quite novel to stand in front of the camera for the first time with so many viewers. He said, "Hello everyone, I'm Zixin's friend. I was the one throwing things in those videos, and it's 100% real."

Then, he saw a large number of comments with the same content. Although the words were small, everyone was posting the same thing, which caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually, "Bouncy Ball Bro finally shows his face."

Chen Xu's eyes twitched. He asked Dai Zixin, who was standing next to him, "What the hell is Bouncy Ball Bro?"

Dai Zixin's eyes darted around a bit as she explained, "Well, that's the nickname they gave you. The one fanning with a watermelon is called Watermelon Girl, the one selling pomegranates is called Pomegranate Bro, and the one playing with bouncy balls is naturally called Bouncy Ball Bro." The more she said, the less confident she became.

Several girls next to her were already laughing.

What a terrible nickname!

Chen Xu cursed Dai Zixin in his heart, but in front of the camera, he had to remain restrained.

He decided that he would throw the bouncy ball in his pocket into the trash later.

Ignoring the awful name, he took out a dart and got down to business. "Zixin told me that some people doubt the authenticity of the videos. How about this, I'll give you a dart-throwing demonstration."

"Let's go, we'll go over there." Chen Xu had Dai Zixin bring the phone and walked to the dartboard.

He observed it and stood about three meters away from the dartboard. He had never played darts before, so this distance was more manageable and convenient for filming. It would be too blurry if he was too far away.

Dai Zixin held up the phone and followed closely, filming him.

"In a moment, you can tell me which spot to aim for, and I'll hit it." Chen Xu said, then felt it was inappropriate and added, "Of course, there are too many people sending comments. How about this, I'll listen to whoever sends a gift."

Then, he saw the phone screen fill up with "Begging for gifts..." again, covering the entire screen.

His face twitched slightly. It was a bit tiring. Doing live streams wasn't easy.

Suddenly, he saw one comment, "If you hit it, we'll send gifts, no problem. But what if you miss?"

His heart stirred, and he said, "Of course, if I miss, I'll accept a punishment. As for what punishment..."

"This could be good." "If you miss, eat a dart on live stream." "Eat sh*t on live stream." "F*ck a fan on live stream."...

Before Chen Xu could finish speaking, he saw the comments offering various suggestions, becoming increasingly explicit, and his face darkened.

This audience is really terrible. Their quality is too low.

"If I miss, I'll admit that I'm a liar." Chen Xu quickly said, to avoid even more explicit comments. Then, he saw many comments agreeing, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Before we officially start, I'll warm up first."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he pinched a dart, aimed at the red bullseye in the center, and threw it.

The dart hit the target, but it was off to the edge, landing right on the number "6".

His brow furrowed slightly, clearly not satisfied with this performance.

This was his first time throwing darts, and it felt very different from throwing other things. He had to pinch the front of the dart with three fingers, a posture he had never used before.

Dai Zixin had been filming him the whole time, and this scene was also captured. Instantly, a large number of comments flooded the screen, all saying, "This is a disaster, right?" "666, welcome to watch, a large-scale disaster scene..."

The few girls next to him looked at Chen Xu with strange expressions.

Even Dai Zixin, who had the most confidence in Chen Xu, looked uneasy. If he messed up, her account would definitely be finished. It would be strange if she wasn't nervous.

Just then, Chen Xu caught a glimpse of Dai Zixin's expression, and his heart stirred. He had originally aimed for the red heart in the middle, but this time, he deliberately aimed for the number "20" at the top.

He threw the dart, hitting the number "20" directly.

He even deliberately frowned, secretly amused by Dai Zixin's worried expression.

Next, he tried a few more darts, and they became more and more outrageous, missing the target several times. Dai Zixin's expression also became more and more unsightly, and finally, she almost cried, "Chen Xu, why don't you just throw Bouncy Balls?"

Chen Xu had originally started to feel a little unbearable, but when he heard her mention Bouncy Balls again, that bit of forbearance flew to the back of his mind. He deliberately said, "That's not good, is it? We agreed to throw darts, how can we change our minds temporarily? Besides, they wouldn't agree, would they?"

Dai Zixin's face fell, and she said with a pout, "If you mess it up, I'm not done with you."

Chen Xu said in surprise, "Even if I mess it up, I'm the one who's embarrassed, right?"

Dai Zixin said with a look of exasperation, "This is my account, my account..."

At this time, the comments in the live broadcast room became even more lively, "Another one's gone crazy..." "Poor streamer..." "Shocking, a beautiful streamer is driven crazy by a man who likes to play with Bouncy Balls..."

"Alright, I'm going to start performing."

Chen Xu felt that the time was right, cleared his throat, and announced.

"I'll go first, throw a sixty." Soon, someone sent a gift.

Chen Xu was slightly stunned. There were only numbers from one to twenty on it, where was sixty? Based on the principle of asking if he didn't understand, he asked, "Sixty, which position is that?"

The live broadcast room was once again filled with comments, and it simply became an ocean of joy.

Dai Zixin's eyes went dark, and she said in despair, "Don't tell me you've never played darts before?"

It was still the girl in the uniform who told him, "See those two circular rings on the target? The outer ring is the double zone. The middle ring is the triple zone. The part that overlaps with twenty is sixty."

Hearing this, Chen Xu understood.
