It was five o’clock in the evening, two hours before the live stream.
The number of people in Panda Streaming increased suddenly. Many white-collar workers switched on their computers and waited on the live stream immediately after work.
The popularity of Y-God’s live stream reached one million!
It was six in the evening!
The number of people exceeded two million!
In addition to that, Panda Streaming’s app reached a total of 250,000 downloads!
The broadcast had yet to begin, but there were already countless bullet messages and comments.
[Y-God, come out quick! I’m going to die thinking of you!]
[Ah, ah, ah! So excited, so looking forward to everything! Can’t Y-God stream ahead of schedule?]
[Prizes for anyone who can guess what Y-God will broadcast live today? Will he bring us a good story again?]
[F*ck man! Y-God’s popularity is still amazing. There are already so many people here?]
[I’m putting a bucket of popcorn in front of me. Listening to Y-God’s story is more interesting than watching a movie!]
[Y-God is so popular. Wouldn’t it be terrible if the story isn’t good?]
[The comment above me can f*ck off! Who are you to question Y-God?]
…
At the same time, behind the scenes of Panda Streaming.
Song Qian’s forehead was already full of sweat. There was excitement and nervousness in his face and he could not care less about wiping his sweat droplets.
“All departments get ready! Check the server, don’t make any mistakes!” he commanded all those working behind the scenes. “The number of viewers is increasing and the server needs to be able to withstand it. Are there any technicians in place? The Live stream is about to start! We haven’t reached the peak yet!”
“And the operations staff, get yourselves ready!”
It was probably the busiest day since Panda Streaming was established. The number of viewers was soaring to unimaginable heights. Y-God alone was better than any form of promotion.
Background operations were extremely important during a live stream. The likelihood of the server crashing increases with the growth of viewers, and they must be wary of network attacks and outside interference. If it crashes, the impact on popularity was going to be unthinkable.
That day marked a very important day for the Panda Streaming’s rise. He could not afford to be careless.
Things were off to a good start, and if that could be maintained, Panda Streaming will be able to stand on its two feet!
After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to take out his phone and call Ye Lingchen.
“Hello Y-God, the live stream statistics are really good. The current data has already exceeded the record highest that Panda Streaming had before the acquisition!”
“Mm, get everything ready. I’ll start broadcasting at seven o’clock sharp.” Ye Lingchen said.
“Y-God, a new story, are you…really sure?” Song Qian’s felt extremely tense. Everything depended on Ye Lingchen’s story, and although he was confident, he wanted to confirm it again.
“Relax,” Ye Lingchen assures casually and hung up.
Other than Panda Streaming, other live stream platforms could not help but turn their attention to him too.
Panda Streaming’s ability to gain such immense popularity on the first day of acquisition alone was something to be envied, admired, and hated!
Huyu Streaming was also paying attention to Panda Streaming.
They also switched their channel to Y-God’s live stream!
“I’m interested to see what other stories Y-God can tell!” Wang Yuan sneered.
…
6:59pm!
Y-God’s original live stream studio lit up suddenly and a countdown appeared on the screen!
Everyone’s attention perked up!
It was starting. Was it finally going to start?
The remaining time to the live stream:
10
9
8
…
3
2
1!
Countless people followed along and chanted numbers in their hearts.
When the countdown reached zero, it was still that familiar darkness. Within that darkness, they could sense that a figure was sitting there—it was none other than Y-God!
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a while!”
A dull voice uttered those words slowly. Many people were momentarily stunned and they could not help but feel a warmth surging from within hearts.
Yeah, it has been a while.
“I believe many of you are feeling the same things that I feel. I’ve waited a long time for this day, and now, I’m back!”
Ye Lingchen’s voice was very smooth, giving everyone the impression of a spring breeze. It was very comfortable to hear. “Let’s not bring up the past. Many people are waiting for a story, so, what story shall I tell next?”
“I believe many people have heard Grave Robber’s Chronicles before. Well, the following story is about a grave robber too. The title is…Candle Blowing Ghost.”
Candle Blowing Ghost?
Another grave robbing story?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They did not expect Y-God to rehash an old idea.
[Is there nothing else to talk about besides grave robbing?]
[Can Y-God create something new?]
[Could it be that you have exhausted your imaginative writing?]
[People light candles, ghosts blow out the lights. This name, it feels promising. I’m looking forward to it!]
…
As soon as the title came out, the bullet screen immediately exploded, and many people were feeling rather repulsed.
After all, Ye Lingchen’s first story—Grave Robber’s Chronicles—was about grave robbery. Candle Blowing Ghost was the same kind of story as well. It was a blatant repetition. Could it surpass Grave Robber’s Chronicles?
Behind the scenes of Panda Streaming, Song Qian’s heart sank slightly. Why did Y-God want to tell another grave robbing story? It’s aesthetically fatiguing for the audience. Plus, could it even surpass Grave Robber’s Chronicles? It was definitely an uphill task!
“Hahaha, Y-God is done for!” Wang Yuan haha laughed heartily behind Huyu Streaming. “He’s still talking about grave robbers. It seems like he really can’t come up with any other more brilliant works!”
“I told you, CEO Wang. You’re worrying too much. Y-God is still human after all. It’s everyone else that turns him into a myth.” Zhou Min smiled.
“Looks to me that Panda Streaming won’t turn the tides. Y-God is limited to that!” Wang Yuan breathed a drawn-out sigh of relief and looked at Y-God’s live stream, sneering scornfully.
Ye Lingchen ignored everyone’s opinions and simply took a deep breath. His tone suddenly slowed down and became even more sonorous:
“Grave robbing isn’t sightseeing. It’s not reciting poems, nor is it painting. It can’t be that elegant, leisurely, or respectful. Grave robbing is a skill, a skill that requires destruction…”
The calm voice suddenly gave off a dark atmosphere, causing the lively bullet screen to become quiet.
Everyone was briefly stunned. The feeling…was somewhat intriguing!
It felt more captivating than Grave Robber’s Chronicles.
Ye Lingchen’s voice did not hurry, and it was as though the only thing left in the world was his voice. It seemed to whisper to everyone, “All of these stories begin with an incomplete book that my father left to me, titled Sixteen Symbol Yin-Yang Fengshui Mystic Techniques. However, no one knows where the last half of this book is. Someone ripped it out, and only the first part of the Fengshui Mystic Technique is left. The book mainly describes the secret of how to read and decipher the patterns of Fengshui for tombs…”
Compared to Grave Robber’s Chronicles, the opening moment of Candle Blowing Ghost grabbed everyone’s attention in an instant. Even those who had listened to Grave Robber’s Chronicles before could not help but yell out their approval from within their heart!
It was all down to the superior writing of Candle Blowing Ghost. Grave Robber’s Chronicles was like a draft, while Candle Blowing Ghost was the original…
