Soon, Jiang Siming paid for everything and pushed it out of the store.
The moment he stepped outside, Jiang Siming's face was fully revealed to the two women.
Dumb Sister and Erqian stood rooted to the spot as if someone had sealed their acupoints, completely dumbfounded.
Their small mouths hung slightly open, and their eyes widened as though they had seen an alien.
Hey! What did we just see? Was that a prince?
A model-like figure, a face more handsome than Pan An, and an aura like an exiled immortal!
What Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua? What Eddie Peng? All of them, step aside!
Before long, after recovering from their shock, both women's cheeks flushed bright red. Dumb Sister's ears and neck were red as well.
The two women exchanged a glance, instantly understanding what the other wanted to say:
Mom, I'm in love.
"Dai Dai, I've finished buying everything. I'm planning to head home now. Thanks for your recommendation—it saved me a lot of detours. I'll treat you to a meal if I get the chance."
Jiang Siming pushed the shopping cart with one hand while holding up his phone with the other and pressing the voice-message button.
His voice was exactly the same as Jiang Siming's voice online, though it sounded even better in person.
Unfortunately, Jiang Siming failed to notice Dumb Sister beside her. After sending the voice message, he simply pushed the cart away from Jisu.
After Jiang Siming had gone far away, Dumb Sister and Erqian hugged each other again, screaming and laughing excitedly. Their commotion attracted the attention of even more passersby, but the two women paid it no mind.
When he returned home, Jiang Siming assembled the computer. These things had cost him nearly thirty thousand yuan.
Every component was top of the line.
Once it was assembled, he looked at the computer before him, whose screen and case were both ridiculously cool.
Then he glanced at the new computer beside it, the one he had spent five thousand yuan on and had only used for a few days.
They were worlds apart, like a king and a beggar.
The contrast was staggering.
Jiang Siming, who had originally been quite satisfied with his five-thousand-yuan computer, could not help complaining. "Comparing people is infuriating, and comparing goods makes you want to throw them away!"
Of the two setups, the thirty-thousand-yuan one was for livestreaming.
The five-thousand-yuan one was useful too, so he placed it beside the main computer as a secondary machine.
He could use it to check the chat, hold giveaways for his viewers, or connect a panoramic camera and the like.
In short, all the equipment for the livestream was ready. Now Jiang Siming only had to wait until the day after tomorrow to start streaming on time.
That very night, after signing the contract, Shark Live's official Weibo account posted an announcement:
Major news! PUBG's Great Demon King, the King of Quick Scopes, the strongest ordinary player with godlike close-range gunfighting skills—Ming! Has officially joined Shark Live! He will meet everyone at 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow in Room 99999. If you want to learn PUBG skills, come and show your support!
The Weibo post caused quite a stir, especially among the executives of other platforms. They had also wanted to negotiate with Jiang Siming, but now regretted not making their move sooner. They had never expected Shark to act so quickly!
Meanwhile, the netizens who had watched Jiang Siming's skills on Shark Live were overjoyed. Once Jiang Siming started streaming, they would be able to learn from him even better!
Moreover, Ming had an incredibly pleasant voice and a humorous personality. He could casually toss out jokes and amusing stories,
and yesterday's voice acting for Yasuo had already gone wildly viral on Douyin. Countless people were using that voice clip as background audio.
His voice acting for The Playful Death, Jhin, had also been downloaded like crazy across all the major short-video platforms.
A popular newcomer who had suddenly burst onto the scene was now about to begin livestreaming, so naturally he attracted plenty of attention.
Tuan Tuan specially posted a Douyin video containing edited funny clips from her duo matches with Jiang Siming and her three-person match with Dumb Sister the previous night.
She openly promoted the time and address of Jiang Siming's first livestream at the end of the video, giving him a huge publicity boost.
Dumb Sister also vigorously promoted the news of Jiang Siming's first livestream in her fan group, calling on everyone to show up and send gifts.
And so, Jiang Siming, who had no foundation whatsoever, was suddenly "favored" by two of Shark's biggest streamers. The warm-up for his popularity was a tremendous success.
The two days passed quickly.
During those two days, Jiang Siming learned all the livestreaming techniques from Dumb Sister and Tuan Tuan.
At the same time, he also obtained quite a few fragments in the game.
His Singing Talent had already been completed, and he had even obtained an additional Guitar Talent.
In the game, he had also gained two important new skills: Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze and Extreme Positioning.
The Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze skill allowed Jiang Siming to see every movement in front of him. As long as someone was hiding within his field of vision, they absolutely could not escape his eyes.
The only thing that left Jiang Siming somewhat disappointed was that the Audi RS7 he had been longing for had not appeared.
2:50 p.m.
Room 99999 was bustling with activity.
Although the stream had not started yet, its popularity had already exceeded one million. There were not many gifts, but the total had nearly reached two hundred thousand yuan.
After all, Jiang Siming had no fan base at all. Most of the gifts had been sent by Tuan Tuan's and Dumb Sister's fans.
Those two hundred thousand yuan in gifts had still raised the livestream room's level to 40. It was not very high, but for a new streamer, it was already quite impressive.
The livestream-room levels were easy to raise at first, but the farther one progressed, the more the required gift value grew exponentially.
To reach the maximum level of 100, one needed nearly twenty-five million yuan or more in gifts.
At present, Shark had fewer than ten level-100 streamers.
There were not many gifts, but the chat was extremely active.
"Open the door, open the door!"
"Ming is live! Start already!"
"I'm here from Douyin. I want to hear that Hunan Changsha accent voice acting one more time."
"The slaughter is about to begin. I want to see Ming go on a violent killing spree. This is so satisfying!"
"I really want to keep watching Ming carry Dai Dai and Tuan Tuan. There are jokes everywhere!"
"Will ming show his face during the livestream? I really want to know what someone with such a nice voice looks like."
The chat had looked like this ever since two o'clock, dense and nonstop.
Three o'clock.
The originally pitch-black livestream room flashed, and an image appeared!
Apart from Jiang Siming's computer screen, there was also a camera feed in the lower-right corner.
Unfortunately, it was not filming his face, but rather his keyboard and mouse.
Many female fans cried out in disappointment.
"Show your face, show your face~"
"Don't film your hands, hubby ming. We want to see your face~"
"Who allowed you little sluts to call him my husband!"
"Bah! He's this fairy's! Draw your blades, sluts!"
"Please show your face, even if it's only for one glance."
"Forget it. I'm afraid that after seeing his face, my beautiful fantasies will be shattered."
Many viewers called for him to show his face, but Jiang Siming did not grant their wish.
"This is a skills-teaching livestream room. The looks segment hasn't been unlocked yet."
Jiang Siming's voice rang out in the livestream room. With top-tier livestreaming equipment, the quality of his voice had risen another level.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore~ Sisters, ugh~"
"Why does his voice sound even better now? Who can withstand this?"
"Even as a man, I can't take it anymore. Ming, you have to take responsibility!"
"With a voice like that, not seeing his face is fine too."
"He must be ugly. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare show his face?"
"Get lost, you above! No one is forcing you to look!"
Looking at the messages in the chat, Jiang Siming shook his head and laughed.
"This is a skills-teaching livestream room. For now, I'll only be streaming skills. If I get the chance in the future, I'll show my face."
Most viewers accepted this reply, though a small portion remained persistent.
Jiang Siming had just been about to speak again when his livestream room was suddenly flooded with a terrifying string of platform-wide scrolling messages announcing the opening of noble memberships!
