Back in his basement room.
Liu Di casually opened his phone.
There were so many TikTok notifications that they had long since been condensed into a single red dot.
Though he had been prepared, Liu Di's eyelid still twitched when the numbers popped up!
That video, "The Future is Promising."
600 million views!
200 million likes!
Over 100 million comments!
350 million account followers!
Over 100 million shares!
Those figures had already made it a phenomenon-level short video!
Liu Di roughly scanned the comments.
More than half were praise!
There were also plenty of heartfelt reflections from people who had listened to the song, words straight from the heart!
And countless fans who wanted to meet him, men and women, young and old alike!
Over the past day, there had even been tens of millions of comments demanding an update!
And among the private messages, aside from fan comments.
The most numerous were collaboration invitations!
Countless influencer agencies and entertainment companies wanted to meet with him and sign him!
There were also innumerable companies wanting Emperor Yi for endorsements or commercial performances, with the highest appearance fee already reaching 300 million!
Liu Di checked the current trending topics again.
Unsurprisingly, more than half were about "The Future is Promising" and Emperor Yi himself!
When he saw one news item, Liu Di broke out in a cold sweat!
"Hundreds of girls stand atop a building, jointly demanding that Emperor Yi release a new song or they will jump!"
"Fortunately, local police talked them down and disaster was averted!"
"Afterward, the authorities released two announcements: 1. Citizens are advised to follow celebrities rationally; 2. Emperor Yi is advised to update his works as soon as possible!"
Phew.
Only after reading to the end did Liu Di let out a sigh of relief.
That clickbait nearly scared me sick!
Those two official announcements left Liu Di caught between laughter and tears.
He should use Emperor Yi's account less in the future. Maybe everyone would gradually forget about it!
A TikTok notification suddenly popped up: '0.2 kilometers away, streamer: Xinxin Baby Duck, is currently live.'
That little girl Yan Xinxin?
Liu Di remembered that when they had first met, Magic Child had found that information.
Yan Xinxin was currently a graduate student at the Sea City Conservatory of Music, as well as a popular online streamer.
On some inexplicable impulse, Liu Di lightly tapped 'Enter Livestream'!
The next moment, a beautiful melody drifted out.
'A power long forgotten suddenly surged back on an unexpected night the future is promising'
On the screen, Yan Kaikai sat at a table in an adorable princess outfit, singing "The Future is Promising" with deep emotion!
She truly deserved to be a top student from the Sea City Conservatory of Music. Her singing was excellent, sweet, and moving!
Yan Kaikai had already been a ninety-point beauty, and with her youthful brightness and decent singing voice.
Her livestream was quite popular at the moment, with a full ten thousand viewers watching online!
The song ended.
Praise flooded in!
"Xinxin Baby, I love you so much!"
"You're so beautiful!"
"You're the goddess of my dreams!"
"Your cover of 'The Future is Promising' sounds amazing! Second only to Emperor Yi!"
"Sigh."
Yan Xinxin softly sighed at the screen, looking troubled. "You all know that my sister and I were adopted. Our family is rich, and my adoptive father treats me very well."
"But I really want to know where my biological parents are and why they abandoned me!"
Hearing this, Liu Di was somewhat moved.
It seemed Old Master Yan had not hidden the fact of their adoption.
Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin seemed carefree and scatterbrained every day.
But they actually had plenty on their minds.
After all, everyone possessed an innate pride deep down. Who would willingly accept the fact that they had been abandoned?
Old Master Yan's business empire was so vast that he was surely busy with work.
The Yan Family's daughters had probably all been raised under the care of servants.
Such an environment had inevitably shaped their somewhat strange personalities!
Like Yan Qingwen's aloofness!
And Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin's rebelliousness!
Watching the dejected little girl on the screen, Liu Di could not help sympathizing with her. He was just about to send Yan Xinxin some gifts.
When he heard Yan Xinxin angrily say, "Never mind not being able to find my biological parents. Do you know what's worst? A stranger recently came to our home!"
"That guy is awful!"
"Not only does he want to hit on my sister, he wants our family's money too!"
The livestream viewers immediately became furious.
"What? Someone is actually bullying such a beautiful Xinxin?"
"Streamer Xinxin, tell me, who's that awful person?"
"I'll put a sack over his head and beat him up!"
Uh.
Does this little brat hate me that much?
Liu Di was instantly speechless.
Just as Yan Kaikai was indignantly criticizing Liu Di.
Someone suddenly posted a comment in the livestream chat!
"My God, am I seeing this right? Is that account Emperor Yi?"
After two minutes of silence, comments came flooding in like a tidal wave!
"It really is Emperor Yi! He's in the livestream!"
"Emperor Yi is alive, he's here!"
"It really is Emperor Yi, number 130 in the viewer list!"
"Oh my God! I'm actually in the same livestream as Emperor Yi!"
"Caught Emperor Yi live!"
"I need a screenshot! What an honor! I have to tell my friends!"
For a moment, everyone in the livestream completely ignored Yan Xinxin, crazily @-ing Emperor Yi!
@Emperor Yi!
@Emperor Yi, talk to me, please!
@Emperor Yi, are you really here? Look at me, I'm your biggest fan!
Yan Xinxin, who had only just figured out what was happening, was completely stunned!
Her heart pounded wildly!
Unable to believe it, she immediately tapped Emperor Yi's profile picture. There was only one video on the account, and it was indeed "The Future is Promising," the video with over 600 million views!
It really was him!
He came to watch my livestream!
Oh my God, am I dreaming?
Yan Xinxin froze in an instant, at a complete loss!
What was even more unexpected was this!
One minute later.
The viewers in Xinxin Baby Duck's livestream surged!
Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand... one hundred thousand... five hundred thousand!
'User Liu Feng entered the livestream.'
'User Peng Nan entered the livestream.'
'User Listen to the Wind Sing entered the livestream.'
Countless user-entry notifications flooded the screen in an endless waterfall, dazzling everyone's eyes!
'User I Love Emperor Yi sent the streamer Super Rocket X99!'
'User Smile at Prosperity sent the streamer Spaceship X99!'
'User Ink sent the streamer Carnival Wheel X99!'
Then people began sending gifts!
As though money meant nothing to them, they frantically threw gifts into the livestream!
Yan Kaikai's face had long since been obscured by the gifts!
"For Emperor Yi!"
"Support Emperor Yi!"
"Please release a new song!"
"Please livestream, Emperor Yi!"
But their messages had long since been swallowed by the rolling flood!
The entire livestream exploded.
The internet nearly began to lag!
The news that Emperor Yi had appeared in a streamer's livestream instantly swept across the internet!
Everyone spread the word, rushing over to watch!
Xinxin Baby Duck's livestream instantly climbed to number one on the trending list!
Traffic reached an unprecedented height—320 million people online simultaneously!
Even TikTok's staff were stunned!
What happened?
Abnormal data?
No, that super account, Emperor Yi, had logged in!
And entered a livestream!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Quick, allocate more traffic!
Try to set a new record!
"Emperor Yi, I love you! Reply to me!"
"Emperor Yi, who are you really?"
"Emperor Yi, come out!"
Countless bullet comments flashed past!
They were so fast they were nearly impossible to read!
The amount of donations in the livestream was also soaring!
It broke one million in three minutes!
Ten million in five minutes!
There were faint signs of it charging toward one hundred million!
The viewers had all gone mad!
It seemed that as long as they could enter the livestream, they could get close to their idol!
"The Future is Promising" had simply had too great an impact, and Emperor Yi was simply too mysterious!
Everyone was crazily obsessed with him!
'Network signal delay detected.'
The livestream content had begun flickering, on the verge of collapse!
And the culprit behind all of this.
Liu Di, located on the second basement floor of Yan Family Manor.
Was lying on his bed, staring blankly at his phone!
He had merely tapped it without thinking.
And it had caused such an enormous uproar!
This was a mass online stampede triggered by Emperor Yi's appearance!
Unprecedented!
"This is insane!"
Liu Di's hand trembled, and he immediately exited the livestream and logged out of the account!
