043. A Singer Delayed by Battle Royale

Everyone gasped!

"Holy cow, another new song?"

"He's releasing songs this fast?"

"Ming Shen wrote a new song? Sing it for us quickly! We'll guarantee it hits the Weibo Hot Search!"

"Heavens, are other streamers supposed to make a living?"

"A singer delayed by the Battle Royale game."

Ignoring the bullet comments, Jiang Siming retuned the strings. After a brief preparation, his slender fingers strummed the strings.

A completely different melody filled the live stream room. Unlike "Zou Ma," the intro to this song was even more captivating.

It was like the chime of a bell struck within the soul, echoing melodiously, possessing an elegance similar to a piano.

"How to delete those photos of you

How to not look at those text message conversations

Can't let go, can't go back

Might as well make a decision"

The warm singing voice lingered in their ears. Each lyric tugged at the heartstrings, this gentle, heart-wrenching melody resonating deeply.

However, the initial verses weren't overwhelmingly stunning, much like "Zou Ma."

But this only made everyone anticipate the chorus even more. "Zou Ma" became instantly beloved after its chorus.

Would this new song possess that same charm?

As they were thinking this, everyone felt as if they had opened their door to see a sea of flowers beneath the Shangri-La snow mountains, utterly breathtaking!

"How did it become going to Paris alone

How to let go of memories of two people

Flew over ten thousand kilometers

Counting the distance between you and me

How did it become going to Paris alone

Searching for the scenery we used to talk about

Only to finally realize

It was still me caring too much"

It was in no way inferior to "Zou Ma"! The chorus was incredibly catchy!

Compared to the hysterical, roaring love in "Zou Ma."

This song completely embraced a gentle approach.

It was like a devoted gentleman gently recounting memories of his ex-girlfriend.

How it became going to Paris alone.

Paris is a place every couple dreams of visiting. Jay Chou's "Love Confession Balloon" even filmed its music video there.

Yet, in the lyrics of this song, it was a solitary trip to Paris. How lonely and painful must that be?

"Damn, my tears are being tricked out of me again, Ming Shen, you're too wicked!"

"When you get old, you get sentimental about everything. Sigh."

"It reminds me of when my girlfriend and I promised to go to Xinjiang. Sadly, she's no longer here. I went to Xinjiang by myself last year."

"Musical genius, Ming Shen, it's against natural law for you not to debut!"

"Stop playing professionally, become a singer!"

Even after the song finished, the audience remained immersed in the sadness the song had evoked.

The gift rewards became even more ferocious this time, just like when "Zou Ma" was released yesterday. The fans were generous with their wallets.

It was worth spending some money to hear such a beautiful song.

Duke [Er Ke] gifted 15 Super Rockets to [Ming]'s live stream room!

Duke [Er Ke]: Ming Shen, your singing is absolutely on par with any professional singer, and this song is truly well-written. Could you sing it again? Looking forward to it~

Duke [Xiao Sufi] gifted 5 Spaceships to [Ming]'s live stream room!

Duke [Xiao Sufi]: Super beautiful! Ming Shen, can I be your little fan girl?

Emperor [PDD Who Will Have Abs Soon] gifted 10 Spaceships to [Ming]'s live stream room!

Emperor [PDD Who Will Have Abs Soon]: Bro, your singing is too good. My Minmin has become your fan. If there's a chance, take me to play Battle Royale!

The Emperor [Da Ma Hou] gifted Ming's live stream room 10 Spaceships!

The Emperor [Da Ma Hou]: I heard about "Zou Ma" from my fans today, so I came specifically to watch. Kid, you've got a wide road ahead of you! Do you play Dungeon & Fighter? I'm the Server One Berserker, I'll carry you!

Major streamers flocked to Jiang Siming's live stream room as if they were all in one place, throwing Spaceships, Super Rockets, and the like as if they cost nothing.

The main reason was that the fans' mutual promotion had been a bit too intense, and many streamers came out of curiosity, wanting to check out the room and leave.

But once they entered, they found they couldn't leave.

That day, Jiang Siming's live stream room's online viewership broke ten million! The peak popularity soared to one hundred million!

Compared to this popularity and online viewership, Jiang Siming's live stream room level and the number of fan badges were more tangible and reliable.

Live Stream Room Number: 99999

Live Stream Room Level: 80

Live Stream Room Fan Badges: 90,570

The sheer volume of gifts pushed Jiang Siming's live stream room to level 80, just twenty levels away from max level.

The number of fan badges reached ninety thousand.

This growth rate was unmatched by anyone except PDD and Da Ma Hou!

Perhaps only Lu Laoye's return to streaming could surpass Jiang Siming's achievement.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I'll make official versions of these two songs as soon as possible and release them for free on major music platforms. Today's stream ends here. Before I go, I want to perform one last act for the viewers who can't bear to see me leave."

New viewers, not understanding what was happening, waited with curious anticipation.

But when they saw Jiang Siming's screen go black the next second, they burst into laughter and playful scolding.

After finishing his afternoon stream, Jiang Siming emerged from his bedroom. The aroma of food from the living room dining table made him ravenous.

"Shige, are you done? Come eat quickly."

Wang Xinyi emerged from the kitchen, even wearing an apron around her waist.

Jiang Siming went over and hugged Wang Xinyi, rewarding her with several kisses before they sat down to eat together.

After dinner, Jiang Siming first called back the major professional teams.

He stated that he was willing to play professionally but needed them to meet a few conditions.

First, he didn't want to live in the base and didn't want his personal freedom interfered with, unless there were major competitions or training;

Second, training time couldn't be too long, as he needed to prioritize his streaming. He would give advance notice for any special circumstances requiring leave;

Third, he could join a team professionally and didn't need to be captain, but a starting position had to be reserved for him;

Many teams frowned upon seeing these three conditions and abandoned negotiations after discussion.

Only 4AM and the 17 team were still considering.

Jiang Siming wasn't worried about whether any team would accept his conditions; his skills spoke for themselves.

What was most important to him right now was doing adult things with Wang Xinyi.

He carried Wang Xinyi out of the bathroom.

Jiang Siming still slept in Wang Xinyi's bedroom. He no longer went to his own room, which had become solely his workspace for streaming.

As soon as they lay down, Wang Xinyi fell asleep, exhausted and needing rest to recover.

Jiang Siming, however, was wide awake and even felt desire. But knowing his girlfriend was too tired, he could only suppress his urges and let it go.

He took out the chip he obtained that day and played with it. After a moment of thought, he used his mind to write a game onto the chip.
