Chapter 64: Song Qian, Giving Money?

Although Coold’s stream along with Ye Lingchen’s stream had a total of over 100,000 live viewers, the chat was strangely quiet. In front of their screens, some of the viewers were still holding their breath.

The atmosphere was as if demons would rush out at them the moment they spoke a word.

The language used for the story was descriptive, along with Ye Lingchen’s tone, it quickly pulled the viewers into the mood.

The moment she moved to Ye Lingchen’s stream, the thought of leaving never crossed Coold’s mind. As for those within her stream, none had any objections as they all wanted to continue listening.

At the same time, within Huyu Streaming headquarters.

A group of people sat behind the desk, watching the number of viewers in Ye Lingchen’s stream grow. They were all in shock.

“Bang!”

The next moment, a middle-aged man rushed into the room, gasping.

He was the vice president-cum-director of Huyu Streaming, Song Qian.

The streaming platform naturally required supervision and operations, which fell under his charge.

Upon entering, he shouted at the crew behind the scenes, “What the heck are you doing? What’s the deal with 12*** stream?”

“Director Song, we’re currently focused on the statistics of this stream as well,” someone answered.

“The numbers are rising, but nobody is commenting, nor are they sending rewards. Most of all, they all stayed?!” Song Qian sneered, “Do we need to even look into this? It’s obviously a bot-buyer! Ban him straight away!”

Coincidentally, one of the backend crew pulled the stream out for display.

The darkness on the screen caused everyone to frown. Just as someone was about to ban the stream, they heard Ye Lingchen’s voice drifting towards them.

Everybody, including Song Qian, was caught off guard.

“Wait a moment!” Song Qian immediately shouted for them to stop.

The moderately paced voice seemed to be strangely alluring, instantly grabbing everyone’s attention. Once they stayed for over three seconds in the stream, they lost the will to leave.

The entire crew of Huyu quietened down. That dark screen with a vague silhouette had a unique charm, as though it was in a different world, the strange world of grave robbing.

“Dear friends, the stream will end here today. The schedule for the next stream will be between 7 pm to 9 pm. You’re welcome to tune in tomorrow. Thank you everyone.”

At last, everyone started waking up from their dream state along with Ye Lingchen’s last sentence.

[Host, you’ve just started the story and you’re ending already?]

[Bro is your brain working? The host has been speaking for two hours already!]

[This story is awesome! Please tell us more. I’ll reward you with a cruise ship¹!]

[You’re a rich man huh?! If that’s the case, I’ll send you two cruise ships! Anyone queuing up below?]

[I hope it gets more interesting. I’ll send three! Fetch host!]

[If that’s the case I’ll play along, four!]

…

The noisy stream once again went quiet, but this time, it was due to shock.

Before this everyone had only focused on the story and forgot about the rewards. Up until that moment, the uproar started!

Endless rewards swept across the screen, causing the viewers to hold their breath, their eyes filled with jealousy.

That was money, real live money!

A cruise ship required 18,000 Huyu coins, the equivalent of RMB1,800!

In such a short time, Ye Lingchen’s total rewards exceeded RMB30,000!

He immediately entered the top twenty list for rewards received, and placed second for speed of rewards gain!

As for the first, that was… Coold.

Coold felt very awkward, blushing as she tried to explain to the viewers.

“Guys, you should stop it with the rewards. This is Y-God’s story. I’m just redirecting his stream. If you want to send gifts, please go to Y-God’s stream…”

“Stop, I’ve done nothing. Please stop…”

“Dir… Director Song, are we still banning this stream?” asked one of the crew.

“Ban your sister! Whoever that bans this stream will have to answer to me!”

Song Qian almost jumped out of his seat, “Quick, contact the stream’s host. Nevermind, I’ll contact him myself!”

Ye Lingchen received a message from Coold just as he logged out of the stream.

[Y-God, I’m sorry. My stream was showing your channel. Many viewers were sending in rewards because of you. I’ll sort it out and transfer them to you.]

[It’s fine. I still have to thank you for helping me boost my popularity.] Ye Lingchen replied with a smile.

His stream had only 8000 viewers. Nonetheless, the system showed that Grave Robber’s Chronicles managed to gain a popularity of 20,000. It was obvious the Coold played an important role in this.

As for how his popularity was calculated, Ye Lingchen had no idea.

Logically, Coold’s stream had 100,000 viewers. Why was his popularity only at 20,000?

Were there 80,000 unsatisfied viewers?

Could it be that the viewers had to reach the level of die-hard fans before they were counted?

[More or less RMB60,000. Considering the platform’s cut, the remainder should be RMB 36,000. I’ll transfer that to you.] Coold continued.

[It’s fine! I don’t need the money!] Ye Lingchen put on a rich man’s air. [I’ll take it as you looking down on me if you transfer that money over! I’ll get angry!]

His treatment for Grandfather Lin, along with the TV series, had already netted him a total of RMB21,400,000. At this point, he could be considered a rich man. He truly was not in need of money.

[This… alright then. If you ever need money, just let me know.] Coold replied after some hesitation.

A moment later, Coold sent over another message, [Y-God, I didn’t expect your storytelling to be so interesting. I was fully immersed in it. Congratulations, you’ve struck gold.]

[It was just luck.]

Right at that moment, Ye Lingchen’s stream buzzed, indicating a message from the system.

After a quick goodbye with Coold, Ye Lingchen opened the message.

[Hello, I am Song Qian, the vice president of Huyu Streaming. Your stream content had gained our attention. Will you be free to have a chat over the phone?]

Song Qian, giving money¹?

This name… is really epic.

Ye Lingchen mumbled for some time before sending his number over.

Ring—

The next instant, his phone rang. The other party was very anxious.

“Hello, is this Y-God?”

“Yes, it is. Hello Director Song.”

“Y-God, we have heard your story. The contents are very attractive. Can I know if you have thought out the future plots of the story? Do you have an outline ready?” Song Qian asked.

“I haven’t had an outline yet, but I can guarantee that the future plot will be more interesting.”

The other side of the phone went quiet for some time.

Song Qian gritted his teeth, “Alright! I’ll believe you! I can make the decision right now to raise your contract benefits to a 70/30 cut. You get 70 and the platform gets 30. Additionally, during your streaming period, I can give you a free recommendation on the main page! However, I have one condition.”

Ye Lingchen’s eyes were gleaming. He very much needed the popularity at that time. Song Qian’s action was the help he sorely needed!

‘True to his name, he’s giving me money.’

Ye Lingchen queried, “What condition?”

“Since you’ve published Grave Robber’s Chronicles on our platform, we will be adding a condition on your contract. The copyright of Grave Robber’s Chronicles will be co-owned by us. 50/50!”
