"Damn, you could actually hold yourself back from making a move on such a good woman." Hearing this, Little Dot Under the Grapevine, who was sitting beside him, couldn’t help but blurt out a comment.
Li Changlin was also quite helpless about this matter—it really was difficult to explain.
Back in the day, he had a good opportunity to get together with Lin Ruonan, but because Xu Xin abruptly intervened, it was a sad, aggravating matter; why the hell was he still hung up on her!
Sighing in frustration, Li Changlin said with a bitter smile, "Let’s leave it to fate. My thing with Ruonan can’t be clarified in just a sentence or two. It’s almost eight o’clock; we should head back and get ready for the broadcast."
"Alright, let’s go." Everyone was an adult here, after all, capable of understanding each other.
Little Dot Under the Grapevine exchanged a glance with Zhou Xingxing, and tacitly, they didn’t bring up Lin Ruonan again. Then, all three of them left the shop together.
After returning home, it was already seven forty. Li Changlin turned on his computer to check the equipment when he suddenly remembered he might have neglected the most important preparation of all.
"I’ll use the restroom. Brother Grape, could you log into the chat software for me?" It wouldn’t be appropriate to take out his phone to learn songs in the living room, and memorizing jokes was also a hassle. Li Changlin couldn’t just hide away in the bedroom by himself either.
After alerting Brother Grape, he hurriedly dashed into the bathroom.
After running the water and washing his hands, Li Changlin quickly pulled out his phone.
"Ling’er." Time was running short, so Li Changlin decided to ask Ling’er to help choose a couple of songs.
In fact, he still had quite a few songs he hadn’t sung yet, but there was no need to worry about having too many songs. After a whole day, Li Changlin had also accumulated twenty-nine Points. Adding the Points he had left, it turned out that he could learn three new songs along with a few jokes. He couldn’t let that go to waste.
"I’m here, Host." Soon, Ling’er’s sweet voice rang out.
"Ling’er, recommend three songs for me, please. I’m about to start the broadcast." There was no need for pleasantries with Ling’er; as soon as she appeared, Li Changlin immediately made his request.
"Of course. May I know what type of songs you need, Host?" Ling’er was always wonderful with her service attitude—utterly perfect. Li Changlin really wanted to give Ling’er lots of praise.
"Motivational, wholesome, songs about dreams would be fine." Having thought it over, since he was broadcasting with Brother Grape today, it wouldn’t be suitable to sing melancholic songs, so he quickly made his choice.
"Okay, I understand, Host. Please wait a moment." Before long, Ling’er had selected three songs for Li Changlin and sent them directly to the appreciation channel. All he had to do was click on it, and he could go in and learn them.
After that, Li Changlin had Ling’er find him three jokes, two humorous stories, and two poems. This way, all the Points in his personal center were used up.
Having done that, he put away his phone and walked out of the bathroom.
Although he had spent all his Points, Li Changlin had no regrets.
When he came out, Zhou Xingxing also took a turn in the bathroom. By this time, it was about seven fifty-six. Li Changlin came to the computer and saw that Brother Grape had already opened the live streaming software. He knew Brother Grape must also be eager to get started.
"Changlin, there’s only four minutes left. Shall we start now?" Seeing Li Changlin approach, Little Dot Under the Grapevine rubbed his hands together and said with a chuckle.
"Sure." Considering they had to end the broadcast earlier that day, Li Changlin agreed to Brother Grape’s suggestion.
Consequently, Little Dot Under the Grapevine immediately logged into the account and entered the live broadcast interface.
"Brother Grape, click that, turn on the camera." Li Changlin stood beside Little Dot Under the Grapevine, guiding his operations.
Following his instructions, soon their avatars appeared in the video frame of the broadcast room. By this time, there were already over eighty thousand people waiting in the audience section as if eagerly anticipating Li Changlin to start his broadcast.
"Hey, Changlin, your popularity isn’t bad at all!" At that moment, Zhou Xingxing also came over and couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw the state of the live broadcast room.
This popularity is truly heaven-defying, it can even rival those top streamers from three years ago.
No, even back then, the top streamers didn’t seem as awesome as Li Changlin is now!
Zhou Xingxing thought about it, and after some consideration, he suddenly remembered that three years ago, there seemed to be only two people who had the same level of popularity as Li Changlin has today.
Of course, this is still without the boost from the quick broadcast. If Li Changlin’s total fans only amounted to this, he obviously couldn’t be compared with the top streamers.
Although Zhou Xingxing hadn’t been in touch with the Endless live streaming platform for three years, he could roughly guess that Endless had definitely seen exponential growth over the years.
Whether it’s the members or the streamers, they are definitely much stronger than they were three years ago.
Zhou Xingxing was also fully aware of this.
"What’s this, this level of popularity is just so-so," Brother Grape couldn’t help laughing upon hearing Zhou Xingxing’s words.
Thinking back to the battle with Feixue Legion the day before yesterday, Li Changlin’s live streaming room had reached more than five hundred thousand viewers, easily crushing the most powerful top streamers on Endless live streaming platform.
"Is that so, Li Changlin, you’re really amazing!" Zhou Xingxing shrugged, not knowing whether he believed Brother Grape or not.
However, neither Li Changlin nor Brother Grape took it too seriously, as the video frame had already shown people arriving, and those audiences who had been waiting already knew that Li Changlin had finally started broadcasting.
"Haha, welcome Brother Changlin."
"Eh, Brother Changlin seems to have started broadcasting earlier today!"
"Lucky I came in early, or I would have missed this moment!"
"Brother Changlin is mighty and imposing!"
"Welcome my Brother Changlin."
The chat channel was bustling, many people couldn’t help but egg each other on.
Seeing these comments, Li Changlin felt warm inside and laughed as he called out, "Brothers, it’s me. I’m happy to see so many brothers waiting for Changlin as soon as the broadcast starts. Everybody knows, today Brother Grape came to Jincheng to see Changlin. Yes, you guessed right, the guy sitting beside me is Brother Grape. Where are your cheers, my brothers? Where are your gifts? Welcome my Brother Grape!"
"Haha, welcome my Brother Grape!"
"Long live Brother Grape."
"I love grapes the most, I love grapes the most. Brother Grape I love you, I want to have your monkeys!"
"Wow, Brother Grape is so manly, Brother Grape, I want to have a bromance with you, I’ll be the bottom!"
"Mighty and imposing, mighty and imposing!"
"Brothers, let’s sing together, I say ’Brother Difficult to Handle’, we share our fortunes together!"
"A lifetime of brotherhood, longer than the heavens!"
