It was bustling with activity on deck, full of young n and won, most of whom were holding up their phones and recording.
Yu Xuan explained from the side, "I heard so live streaming platform chartered this ship for tonight. They’re apparently holding so kind of event, and most of these n and won are strears from the platform, or influencers.
The captain said that if anyone asks later, we should just say we’re online strears. With so many people here, it’s not like everyone knows each other anyway."
"No wonder."
Xu Yun nodded. He didn’t go join the crowd, as he had no interest whatsoever in so-called influencers.
After the ship set sail, he led Chen Xin and Yu Xuan to the railing on deck, where they leaned and gazed at the nightscape along the riverbanks.
But it didn’t take long for the two won with him to attract the attention of others.
Standing beside Xu Yun, both Chen Xin and Yu Xuan were so striking they stood out from the crowd of female strears who were all using beauty filters.
A fairly popular male outdoor strear was in the middle of a broadcast for his "bros" when he suddenly noticed his viewers frantically spamming the chat.
"I wanna see the girl in the background!"
"Show us or I’m unfollowing."
"That girl is gorgeous."
The outdoor strear turned around curiously, moving the cara with him.
Sure enough, not far behind him, there was a man with two won. The man was handso, and the won were beautiful.
The strange thing was, the three of them weren’t holding phones and streaming. They were actually just enjoying the night view.
’What’s so great about the night view?’
’This is the perfect opportunity to go live and piggyback off each other for views.’
Small strears leeched off big strears, and big strears leeched off each other, all for one single purpose.
To gain followers.
For a content creator, followers ant traffic, and traffic ant money!
In the strear’s chat:
"Xin, go hit on them!"
"Yeah, don’t be a wimp! Go for it!"
"You have one minute to get both of their socials, or I’m turning from a fan into a hater."
"I call dibs on the busty one. Strear, you know what to do."
"But there’s a guy with them. What if they’re his girlfriends?"
"The strear’s not gonna get punched, is he?"
The strear’s na was Liu Yuxin. He was an outdoor strear and an expert at picking up won.
His content consisted of hitting on random won outdoors, getting their contact information, and playing gas with them.
Seeing his "bros" getting so hyped up, and noticing the obvious spike in his viewership because of the two won, he decided to go over and use them for a bit of content.
’After all,’ he thought, ’aside from the staff, pretty much everyone on this ship is a strear from the platform.’
’But I don’t recognize them. They must be either new or just have no fa to speak of.’
’If a big-na strear like takes the initiative to say hello and give them so exposure, they should be ecstatic.’
"As if!"
Liu Yuxin laughed off the chat’s teasing. "Alright, bros, watch and learn. I’m going to get their contact info for you right now."
With that, he confidently strode toward the two won.
"Hello, beautiful."
Liu Yuxin’s first target was Chen Xin, who looked innocent and approachable.
Seeing a strange man approach her with a phone to strike up a conversation, Chen Xin, who was never good with strangers, shyly hid behind Xu Yun.
Seeing this, Xu Yun turned to face the uninvited guest. "Can I help you with sothing?"
"Hey man, just ca over to say hi."
Liu Yuxin asked with a smile, "Are you guys strears on the platform too?"
"I guess you could say that." Xu Yun rembered the captain’s instructions and gave a vague answer.
"Then why aren’t you live right now?"
Liu Yuxin said confidently, "eting like this is fate. Give your stream usernas. I’ll get my viewers to give you a follow and boost your numbers a bit."
"That’s not necessary, but thank you."
Xu Yun politely declined. "We’re just here to enjoy the night view today. We’re not really interested in anything else."
Liu Yuxin was speechless.
In the stream chat:
"Oof, did our boy just get shut down?"
"Man, a golden opportunity just fell into their laps and they completely ignored it."
"Bullshit. Look at that guy’s attitude. It’s like he doesn’t even recognize our strear."
"No way. They’re in the streaming scene, and on the sa platform. How could they not recognize him?"
"Yeah, he was the king of outdoor streaming back in the day, at least."
"Key word being ’was.’ Maybe they’re dissing him on purpose."
"So he offered a warm welco and got a cold shoulder?"
"This is probably all scripted. Nothing to see here, folks."
"I don’t care if it’s scripted, I’m still watching!"
Liu Yuxin watched the comnts scroll by. He knew perfectly well this wasn’t scripted.
He was simply being disrespected.
He was still smiling on the outside, but inside, he was starting to get annoyed.
’A big-ti strear like cos over to say hi, and this is the attitude I get?’
"You guys really don’t recognize ?" Liu Yuxin asked again, refusing to give up.
Xu Yun frowned. ’This guy is so annoying. Can’t he tell I don’t want to talk?’
He retorted, "Who are you? Am I supposed to know you?"
"I’m an outdoor strear. My handle is Lord Xin."
Liu Yuxin said with a grin, "You must have heard of , right?"
"Never heard of you."
Xu Yun turned to Chen Xin and Yu Xuan. "Have either of you heard of him?"
"Nope."
The two of them shook their heads in unison.
One spent her days busy writing novels, the other spent her days busy making money; neither had any ti to pay attention to strears.
"See? No one here knows you."
Xu Yun said politely, "Look, man, why don’t you go stream sowhere else? We don’t particularly like having a phone shoved in our faces, especially by a stranger."
