What Jiang Siming and the viewers hadn't expected was that the caller wasn't a salesman.
"God Ming, you've got a great way with words. But I'm not calling to sell you an advertisement. I'm Lu Yun, the manager of 4AM. I'd like to talk to you about joining a professional team. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Whoa!
The news stunned everyone in the Live Stream Room. 4AM wanted to recruit Jiang Siming!
"I know you're streaming right now. How about we talk after your stream ends?"
"Uh, sure. I'll call you after I end the stream."
"Good. I'll wait for your call."
Beep~
After hanging up, Jiang Siming gave the viewers an awkward smile and said, "I didn't expect it to be an advertising pitch. Let's get back to the stream."
"Don't end it! 4AM wants you to join them. Are you going to accept, God Ming?"
"You'd be on the same team as Wei Shen. God Ming, surely you don't want to?"
"Is God Ming going pro? Will you stop streaming if you do?"
"I can't wait to see God Ming in professional matches! Accept it, accept it!"
The viewers temporarily lost interest in the stream itself. They all sent comments asking whether Jiang Siming was willing to go pro.
Jiang Siming thought for a moment and said, "Of course I want to play professionally. Someone truly strong wouldn't be content with playing ordinary matchmaking forever. I'd also love to compete against professional players on the stage."
Then he changed his tone. "But I'm used to being free and undisciplined, so I probably wouldn't adapt well to training at a club every day. I still want to focus mainly on streaming. After all, you're the people I love most!"
"Boo-hoo, I almost believed you."
"God Ming, you're the best. After hearing that, I'm officially your fan!"
"That's so cheesy, but I love hearing it~"
"Would 4AM agree to that?"
"If you join 4AM, how will you keep streaming on Shark Live? Will it affect anything?"
Seeing one question after another, Jiang Siming's head began to ache.
"Alright, alright, stop asking. I'll discuss the details with them after I end the stream. I'll tell you once there's a result."
Ding ding ding.
The phone rang again. Jiang Siming picked it up and listened.
"Hello, I'm Wang Dong, the manager of RNG PUBG Club."
After that call ended, 17shou, the captain of 17 Team on Shark Live, entered Jiang Siming's Live Stream Room.
"Brother Ming, our team would also like to talk to you about joining us. How about we chat after you end the stream?"
After sending away invitation after invitation from different teams, Jiang Siming finally managed to continue streaming in peace.
By then, however, the viewers' attention had long since left the stream itself.
This kind of glorious, face-bringing event had happened right before their eyes.
Four or five teams had invited God Ming in an instant. What incredible recognition!
It was the greatest acknowledgment of Jiang Siming's ability. Let's see who would dare accuse him of cheating now!
Everyone discussed it heatedly, all suggesting which team Jiang Siming should join.
Some said 4AM, some said RNG, and some said 17 Team, among others.
They even started arguing fiercely with one another, giving Jiang Siming a headache.
Fortunately, after a while, the commotion finally settled down.
Jiang Siming streamed until evening. Wang Xinyi had already prepared dinner outside, and he no longer felt like continuing. He planned to end the stream.
"You can end it, but hand over 'Zou Ma'!"
"You promised you'd sing after ending the stream! Don't go back on your word!"
"It's happening, it's happening! It's finally happening."
"Music fans, assemble~ God Ming is going to sing!"
"How can one song be enough? You're ending so early today. You have to sing at least two!"
"That's right, two songs. It's settled."
"Alright, alright. Consider this my apology for ending early today. I'll sing two songs, okay? Wait here, I'm going to get my guitar."
With that, Jiang Siming ran off to borrow Wang Xinyi's guitar.
He planned to buy a new guitar when he had time over the next couple of days. He couldn't keep borrowing his girlfriend's. What if she needed to use it?
When the viewers heard that Jiang Siming was going to sing, they immediately spread the news everywhere.
Soon, many viewers from other streamers' rooms came rushing over.
78622 Live Stream Room
"Everyone, wait a moment. I'm going to listen to someone else sing for a bit. I'll be right back."
After saying that, the streamer stopped singing, opened the Live Streaming Platform, found the room she wanted to search for, and clicked into it.
"Er Ke, are you going to listen to God Ming sing too?"
"Oh no, don't tell me Er Ke has fallen for him too?"
"78622 Live Stream Room has fallen. I hope the other female streamers are alright."
"I listened to 'Zou Ma' today. It really is a great song."
"The key is that he wrote the song himself. He's talented and can sing—how could he not become popular?"
241431 Live Stream Room
"Oh my, oh my, I've been obsessed with 'Zou Ma' lately. The version I just sang was awful. Let's go listen to the original singer's version instead, hehe."
This female streamer also set aside her own stream and plunged straight into Jiang Siming's Live Stream Room.
"Holy crap! I just came over from Er Ke's room. She fell for him, and now you're doing it too?"
"Oh no, Little Sophie's Live Stream Room has fallen too. Other female streamers, you have to hold out!"
"God Ming is practically a goddess collector. He's only been on Shark Live for a few days, and a whole bunch of female streamers are already obsessed with him."
"Little Sophie, you have to hold out!"
Just because everyone wanted to hear the original version of 'Zou Ma' once, the number of people online in the 99999 Live Stream Room had already reached over six million, while its popularity had broken through twenty million.
Back then, Chen Yifa had practically secured her position as Shark Live's number-one female streamer simply by covering 'Tong Hua Zhen.'
If she hadn't brought about her own downfall, Shark Live's top female streamer would unquestionably still have been her.
Now Jiang Siming had written 'Zou Ma' himself. Not only was it the original version, he also sang it beautifully. It would have been difficult for his popularity not to explode.
When Jiang Siming returned with the guitar, there was still a little grease at the corner of his mouth. The guy had snuck a piece of braised pork while picking up the guitar.
"Get ready. Here we go."
After saying that, Jiang Siming began playing the melody of 'Zou Ma' again.
The familiar melody made the currently most popular Live Stream Room unusually quiet. Everyone was too busy listening to send comments.
"The rain outside has stopped
But the lights inside are still off
Counting your indifference
Playing with loneliness
After a long while, I finally raised my head to look
You were walking so slowly on the opposite shore
Leaving me alone, torn between pretending to sleep and reality"
As soon as the song ended, gifts flooded the Live Stream Room like flowers scattered from heaven.
Emperor Dumb Sister rewarded Ming's Live Stream Room with 10 Super Rockets!
Emperor Dumb Sister: So beautiful, so beautiful! It's way too good, Brother Ming, ahhh~
Emperor Tuan Tuan rewarded Ming's Live Stream Room with 10 Super Rockets!
Emperor Tuan Tuan: Little Ming Bro, I'm your lovestruck fan, la la la~
There were too many gifts for Jiang Siming to inspect them all at once, so he could only thank everyone collectively.
"Since I said I'd sing two songs, I won't go back on my word."
The viewers were overjoyed. They would get to hear it again. They hadn't gotten tired of the song even after listening to it for two days.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Siming had no intention of singing 'Zou Ma.'
"The next song is also one I wrote myself. It's called 'Going to Paris Alone.' I hope you'll like it."
