Chapter 20: Internet Celebrity Dream Shattered

Chapter 20 Internet Celebrity Dream Shattered

After posting a few short videos, the number of her followers increased rapidly. It gave Xiao Wen the illusion that she could make a living by becoming an internet celebrity.

She said to Liu Qing, “Assist me well. When I become an internet celebrity, I’ll support

you!”

Liu Qing sneered. “As a rich second generation, do I need you to support me?”

After the number of her followers reached past 1,000, Xiao Wen decided to hold a livestream.

Three days before the event, she gave advance notice of the livestream in the short videos that she posted every day. She tried her best to make sure that as many of her followers know about it as possible.

Before the actual livestream, she did a trial run to test the beautifying tool settings for settings that gave her the best effect.

This tool may not be at its most effective at the maximum setting. It all depended on the actual circumstances.

If the space on the screen became too distorted, some viewers would feel that their intelligence was being insulted.

The best case scenario would be when the viewers could not tell that the beautifying tool was being turned on.

However, this would mean that the livestreamer needed to be naturally good-looking

Xiao Wen’s looks were not at that level yet.

Liu Qing was the only audience for this trial livestream. His main role was to provide Xiao Wen with an opinion from the point of view of a veteran perv.

It was a very important task.

This was because Xiao Wen was trying to appeal to the perv market.

The trial livestream lasted for about an hour and they went through a number of adjustments. The beautifying tool was fine-tuned to a level that made her look beautiful but not too distorted.

The distance between the livestreamer and the camera, the volume of her voice and the expression on her face were all tested and adjusted.

They even did a 10-minute recording at the end.

“I actually look quite beautiful during the livestream.”

Xiao Wen looked very pleased with herself as she watched the recording.

It was as if she could already see a large amount of money going into her pocket.

However, when the livestream started, she was completely dumbfounded.

She had given advance notice of the livestream in her short videos for three days before the event. There were hundreds of comments under those three short videos and the pervs all indicated that they would definitely tune in to her debut livestream.

However, during the actual livestream, there were only two viewers online.

One of them was Liu Qing.

This ratio was even more unbelievable than the web novel subscription rate of failed online authors.

Even having just 10 viewers would be better, at least it was a two-figure viewership number.

What’s the point of having only two viewers?

Liu Qing consoled her. “It doesn’t mean anything. It’s normal not to have many viewers in the beginning. Some people may not be so punctual. If you persist for a while, more viewers might turn up.”

Xiao Wen thought that it made sense and braced herself to continue with the livestream.

She started with some chit chat.

It was quite awkward as she talked to herself so Liu Qing interacted with her using his account.

Liu Qing even used one dollar to top up his tokens for the first time and spent 10 cents to give Xiao Wen a little heart icon.

When he sent it to her, he decided to get Xiao Wen to reimburse him after the livestream.

He was a little disgruntled to have sent his first gift on the app in such a manner.

After more than 10 minutes, there were finally 10 viewers.

A few of the other viewers also sent gifts. In total, the value of the gifts received had reached more than 10 tokens, which was more than a dollar.

Of course, Xiao Wen would not be able to withdraw the entire amount. The platform would take a portion of it.

Xiao Wen was in much better form by now.

Then she began to sing.

It was still going fine before she started singing, but once she did, the number of viewers instantly fell back to single digit.

Halfway through her song, there were only five people left.

An older man who had given her a little heart icon could not help but leave a message.

“Sis, we’re all on the same side. Don’t do this.”

During the earlier trial livestream, Xiao Wen did not sing so Liu Qing did not realize that she was handicapped in this area.

Otherwise, he would fight to the death to stop her from singing.

Another older man who had also sent her a little heart icon also could not help leaving a message.

“Sis, listen to my advice. You’re not very popular yet so don’t scare off your fans so early.”

Gloomily, Xiao Wen stopped singing.

“Do I sing badly?”

Liu Qing could not help but join the team of critics.

“It’s not a question of whether it’s bad or not. It’s just… it’s just special… like someone scraping a knife over a concrete surface…”

Xiao Wen said pitifully, “I’m so wounded that not even lollipops can heal me.” A lollipop icon needed nine tokens, which cost 90 cents.

Liu Qing looked at his token balance. He still had nine tokens left, so he bought a lollipop icon and sent it to her. He hoped that his gift would attract the attention of the other four pervs and they would also follow suit. Unfortunately, after he sent it, two more people left the livestream room.

Perhaps the other men felt that this girl was too audacious to ask for lollipop gifts even after singing so badly, so they simply left.

The remaining two men did not send her any gifts.

There were only three viewers in the livestream room now, one of them being her own assistant. Xiao Wen immediately lost interest in continuing with the livestream.

After a few awkward exchanges, she went off the air.

Her internet celebrity dream was thereby shattered.

She became no longer interested in posting short videos and even stopped using the app.

My pride is so hurt!

Liu Qing was not affected at all. He still watched videos of girls every day and scrolled his way through the app happily.

He had continued with his rehabilitation exercises. After the cast was removed from his leg, he would take a stroll around the park every day.

As he could not walk too fast, he would just shuffle along like a little old man.

It was rare for a young man to live at such a slow pace in this fast-paced city.

The thing was he did not earn such a leisurely life through his hard work, but through a broken leg.

There were a few times when Xiao Wen asked Liu Qing seriously whether his leg had completely recovered. Liu Qing knew that this girl coveted his body, so he simply said that he had not recovered and could not withstand any torture.

It would take 100 days for injured bones and muscles to heal.

He would not think of himself as a healthy person before 100 days had passed.

This also made Xiao Wen feel especially bored.

All in all, the two of them had a relatively cordial relationship. Although there were times when they argued, there were no hard feelings between them.

Without hope, there would be no disappointment.

By making do and living together this way, they had a more vibrant life than if they each lived alone.

Happy times always passed a little faster. The month of July was almost over.

On August 12, Liu Qing went back to work.

He informed the company that his leg was nearly healed and he could return to his post.

It was not that he was tired of taking a break, but because he remembered the significance of this day.

In that life, it was on this day that his remarried mother, Ding Yun, came looking for him while he was in his sentry post at the Jiayi apartment complex.

He knew that for his mother to be able to find him at the sentry post, she must have had a lot of investigative work done and had already found out all about him. Even if he did not show up for work, she would still be able to find him.

However, he still did not want to take this gamble. He would feel more at ease if he went back to work.

He remembered that it happened in the afternoon.

However, he was already restless in the morning and kept glancing at the main door.
