Chapter 1 I Won't Let You Leave Me 1
"Hello everyone, I am your female anchor Shenqi Ruanruan! This is my first online live broadcast, please take care of me!" I waved at the camera a little nervously.
Several notifications flew across the glowing computer screen, telling me that the number of people watching online was slowly increasing, from “0” at the beginning to “15”. The camera captured me wearing the Iron Man mask, looking clumsy and funny, very eye-catching.
“Welcome ‘Spinning Alice’ to the Magic Soft Live Studio!”
"Welcome 'Yidian Canglan' to the "Magic Soft Live Room"!"
“…”
The number of viewers in the white message area kept refreshing. Before I had time to think about what to perform, netizens started leaving me messages.
Yidian Canglan: "The host is so special, he actually wore an Iron Man mask during the live broadcast."
After that, a heart-shaped chocolate animation with pink bubbles popped up in the center of the computer screen, which scared me. Then, the system prompted me:
"The tourist 'Yidian Canglan' admires you very much and gives you a heart-shaped chocolate as a reward."
Wow! I heard that on this live streaming website, these special effects animations have to be purchased with money, a heart-shaped chocolate costs one dollar. This "Yidian Canglan" is really a good person, he gave me a welcome gift as soon as I entered the door, I have to thank him very much.
"Thank you for your support. I have received your warm heart!" I made a heart shape with my hands as a return gift.
At this moment, a sudden line of real-time comments popped up:
The most handsome man in the universe: "The host must be very ugly. He wears this mask because he feels ashamed to face others."
My best friend Guan Qiao, who was sitting outside the camera, held up a whiteboard with a marker writing on it: "This is the legendary online bad reviewer who is bored and looking for trouble everywhere!"
"Yeah." I shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not my fault that I'm ugly, but it's my fault that I come out to scare people. So, do you guys like me wearing the cool Iron Man mask? Haha!"
The best way to deal with boring people is to make fun of yourself. Just think of it as a joke and don't take it seriously.
The most handsome in the universe: "This Iron Man anchor has a good personality, I like it!"
Suddenly, a large bunch of sparkling red roses popped up on the live broadcast screen, covering my masked face. Then, colorful subtitles of "'The most handsome man in the universe' generously gave you 999 roses" popped up and kept flashing on the screen.
I turned my head in confusion and exchanged glances with Guan Qiao. She quietly wrote another sentence on the whiteboard: "100 yuan!"
I was startled and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, 'The Most Handsome Man in the Universe', I admire your courage!"
Am I just too behind the times, or are people on the Internet just too weird? Fortunately, the mask hid my expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, otherwise, I really can’t keep up with the leaping thoughts of this “most handsome man in the universe”.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, I started chatting with netizens. Although I was still nervous and unsure before starting the live broadcast, after chatting for a while, I felt that the audience was actually very friendly and lively, just like a distant friend, making people feel at home. Guan Qiao, who was watching from the side, had bright eyes and gave me thumbs up frequently, which gave me more confidence.
It turns out that live streaming is not that difficult!
Speaking of which, why did I come to this "Lime TV" website to be an online female anchor?
In fact, it all started a week ago when my younger brother Xiao Nuo was diagnosed with acute leukemia by the hospital.
That day, after I hurriedly called my father over, an old professor with gray hair and beard met us in the doctor's office. He said solemnly, "Acute leukemia is very difficult to recover from, but if you can persist in treatment, there may still be hope for the patient. The cost of treatment is very high and not something that an average family can afford, so please be mentally prepared."
Xiao Nuo's illness was like a bolt from the blue for our whole family. He is our most precious baby. No matter what the cost, we must persist in treatment until he recovers.
No matter what, I will never let Xiao Nuo leave me.
After returning from the hospital, my dad went around to raise money, and my best friend Guan Qiao heard the news and rushed to comfort me. She always had a lot of ideas, and when she learned that Xiao Nuo needed a large sum of medical expenses, she recommended me a website called "Green Lemon TV".
She highly recommended: "Wanwan, I often watch this Green Lemon TV online TV station. There is no special application required. As long as there is an Internet connection and a camera, anyone can perform on it. Popular anchors can make a lot of money!"
"Really?" I was skeptical.
Actually, I have also heard of this "Lime TV". Many classmates in my class would go and watch it when they have nothing to do. There are many painting geniuses and music performers who show their daily creations at home. There are also comedy artists and funny joke tellers who perform farces... It is simply a flourishing place, and the ratings even exceed those of the city TV station.
The most important thing is that every performer on "Lime TV" can get rewards through their own efforts. If the audience likes your performance, they can spend money to buy virtual gifts for you. Although I have never shown any talent in front of everyone, this time for Xiao Nuo's medical expenses, I will fight!
However, my dad is an old-fashioned person. He couldn't even stand Xiao Nuo playing computer games, let alone me being a host on "Lime TV". Besides, I didn't want to be recognized by my classmates, so I put on Xiao Nuo's favorite Iron Man mask and gave myself the name "Magic Soft", hoping that Xiao Nuo could give me strength.
After everything was ready, I started my first live broadcast.
Returning to the live broadcast site, more and more viewers entered the live broadcast room and I had a lively chat with everyone.
Suddenly, a cheerful Onion Song sounded, and a subtitle "Welcome 'ZC Big Devil' to the "Magic Soft Live Room"" popped up on the constantly refreshing screen, with huge characters occupying the entire screen.
It’s strange. The names of the netizens who came in to chat before only appeared briefly on the message board. Why is the appearance of this “ZC Big Devil” so special?
The next scene completely shocked me. This flamboyant "big devil" gave me 100 crowns without saying a word.
The glittering silver diamond crown special effects flashed in front of my eyes one after another, dazzling my eyes. I stared at this scene in amazement, not knowing what to say, and the netizens who were chatting with me also fell silent.
"Wow, where did this guy called 'ZC Big Devil' come from? 100 crowns, that's almost 1,000 yuan!" Guan Qiao wrote excitedly on the whiteboard, "Wanwan, you got a great start!"
