Chapter 10: 10 Have I Been Tricked?

After getting permission from Zhao Sen, Feng Tianlai happily left the office.

Once Feng Tianlai was gone, Zhao Sen sent a message to the company forum:

[Dear fellow colleagues. A very good day to you. I, Zhou Sen, the manager of the Fine Food Broadcasting Section, am very pleased to announce some very good news. Today, Fine Food Section wish to introduce a Rookie Star called Ye Fei. In less than two hours of broadcasting, he has earned HX¥32,000. Let us congratulate him for achieving this wonderful record. At the same time, we must also congratulate the QQ Broadcasting Platform for seeing the birth of a new deity.]

Zhao Sen’s message dropped like a bomb, causing a shockwave that rippled through the entire QQ Company Forum. Immediately, chatter exploded in its wake.

“…f*ck, is this for real?”

“Fine Food Section actually managed to attract such a person? Heaven above, ah. That’s too incredible.”

“The world is vast and filled with hidden miracles,”

“Aiyo, wei, just how did he do it? How could a newbie get so much reward on their first live broadcast? What did he do?”

“We want to know too, ah.”

“Still need to ask? I bet he must have created a separate account and paid himself. The viewers are probably all friends and family he had paid to make himself look good.”

“Wei, Ma Tao, aren’t you being a little too much? Are you saying it’s perfectly fine for Song & Dance to introduce a new star but our Fine Food star is a fake? How do you know he’s a fake? Where’s your evidence?”

Ma Tao sneered at his computer screen, “Do I even need evidence? Just how many viewers are there on the Fine Food channel? How could there be enough people to put out that much reward? Especially for a new star? It’s HX¥32,000, ah. If a small deity work all day, they might not even gather that much.”

“Tch, there’s no correlation between the number of viewers and the amount of reward received. Let me tell you, just one rich tyrant is worth a hundred, even a thousand casual viewers. Besides, how would you know whether Ye Fei really has few people?”

After sending out the above message, Liu Ping himself also grew curious about how Ye Fei managed to receive so much reward in such a short time. Was his channel filled to bursting with viewers? Let’s have a look.

The majority of the statistician had the same idea and they all rushed to take a look at Ye Fei’s channel.

On Ye Fei’s side, well, he never had such delicious fried potato threads in his life. He even licked his plate clean three times in front of the camera as the aftertaste lingered in his mouth.

“Hahaha, brother, please don’t lick it anymore. You’ll lick a hole through your plate.”

“That’s right, I feel sorry for that plate, ah.”

“Let go of that plate, let me lick it for you,”

“Ugh, I too want to lick that plate.”

“Me too +1”

“Me too +2”

“… …”

When his viewers started talking about licking his plate, Ye Fei was not sure whether he should laugh or cry.

He placed the plate, which was now cleaner than his face, on the table and was about to speak to his audience when DCB System’s voice spoke.

“The food has been eaten, the live broadcast will now end.”

Ye Fei, “… you want to end the broadcast the moment I finish eating? System, shouldn’t I chat with my fans a little? You know, build a relationship with them?”

DCB System, “The host should follow the System’s instruction, or the host will be forcibly terminated from the network.”

Ye Fei felt unhappy. Just what kind of System was this? To cut off the live broadcast at the best time to forge a relationship with the viewers. He wanted to connect with his viewers more, but he was also afraid the System would really cut off the live stream suddenly. In the end, he could only say a final goodbye to everyone before logging off.

Fans watching the live broadcast were stunned when Ye Fei waved an abrupt goodbye at them before suddenly logging off.

“The f*ck happened? Did he suddenly just leave?”

“This broadcaster is really strange. After eating and profiting off our rewards this m*therf*cker just left!”

“Hey, when’s the next broadcast? Broadcaster? Your schedule?

“I really have to hand it to this broadcaster, aren’t you being too selfish? To run off after taking our money? This is my first time seeing it. You could at least say thank you, ah.”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I’m so disappointed, ah! This f*cking broadcaster. Next time I see him, I must beat him to death!”

“Next time? He didn’t even say when his next broadcast is. Who knows whether there will be a next time, ah.”

“Yi~? You’re right, why didn’t he mention his next broadcast? Are we supposed to just wait around for it?”

Ye Fei had really [1] ‘brushed off once the deed is done, with his name hidden in the depths’.

After logging off the channel, Ye Fei decided to have a good talk with the System. It was not good to suddenly leave, after all. It would affect his relationship with his fans. Even the most loyal fans would run away if they were badly treated.”

“System, I think that was not a good move, ah. Why should I log out the moment I finish eating? I barely spoke to my fans, ah. Don’t you think I should establish a good relationship with them? Also, since they gave me so much reward, you should at least let me say thank you to them, right?” said Ye Fei solemnly.

DCB System, “So long as Host has me, the rest is not needed.”

“… …”

Ye Fei was speechless. The System’s reply was too powerful. He had no idea how to refute it.

“Alright, this answer is too powerful. I concede defeat,” was all Ye Fei could say.

DCB System, “Today’s live broadcasting has ended. The rest of the time belongs to Host. You may spend it however you wish.”

“Yi~~? I have free time too? Not bad, oh. Here I thought I’ll be dragged around by the nose all day, every day.”

Ye Fei was perfectly satisfied by the System’s generosity. He felt that System was not only intelligent and powerful, but it was also even more humane than his previous employers. It even gave him free time! Could there be anything better than this?

After some thought, Ye Fei asked, “When not broadcasting, may I use the laptop?”

The system, “The laptop is an essential tool bestowed by the System to the Host for the purpose of broadcasting. Outside of broadcasting, all hidden cameras will be turned off, therefore, the Host may freely use the laptop.”

Ye Fei nodded. Without the System’s powerful backing, even if you ask him to do a live broadcast, all his weaknesses would probably be exposed within three minutes. For now, he wanted to surf the internet and find out more about live broadcasting in general.

After all, he stepped into this field with nearly zero knowledge of how things work. The System promised that so long as it was there, everything would be fine but he felt that it was better for him to have some knowledge about the business too.

But first, let’s fry more potato threads. One plate of potato threads was not enough to make him half full.

However, when Ye Fei opened the storage box, he was stupefied.

The box was empty! There was nothing in there! No potatoes, no Rose Oil, nothing!

“System, where’s everything here? Where are the potatoes and Rose Oil?”

DCB System said, “Those ingredients are meant for the live broadcast. If the Host wishes to eat them outside of live broadcasting, he must purchase the ingredients from the System.”

Ye Fei was so angry that his teeth ached. He thought: Aren’t you just creating difficulties for me? After eating your so-called fine food, can I even eat other things?”

Ye Fei cried bitterly in his heart: H-have I been tricked?!

“System, didn’t you say that you will prepare all the ingredients for me? Why do I need to buy it?” Ye Fei asked as he suddenly remembered this vital detail.

DCB System replied evenly, “Host should also remember that the System will provide ingredients for the live broadcast. Matters outside of the live broadcast do not fall into consideration.”

Ye Fei tried to recall and thought that he might have remembered that the System did say something about it.

“This is a m*therf*cking trap, ah! You’re tricking me with word games!”

“It is the Host who assumes matter on his own.”

“M*ther’s ball’s! You’re ruthless!”

[Gumihou: Ei… I’m kind of pleased that the System doesn’t provide everything for the Host.]
