PUBG Online Romance of the Century-Chapter 6 - What's the matter with you, little bro

Chapter 6 - What’s the matter with you, little bro

Edited by Divetus and Noks

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the eSports industry, it had become an important area of investment.

The livestream platform had become a big cash cow. In just a few years, many livestream apps had sprung up, which greatly satisfied the needs of eSports fans.

In the livestream industry, the most popular platform was StarTV, which had been launched three years ago. Since StarTV’s backers were very strong and it had sufficient capital, as soon as it launched, it attracted talents. Now that it had expanded, five out of ten popular anchors were all on StarTV.

But even so, StarTV was just a small subdivision of the Yida Group. Their big boss had come to visit the company for the first time. Usually, they just sorted out the materials and gave them to the division manager, who would then send it to the boss.

Although StarTV’s senior management and various executives had fully mentally prepared themselves, when their boss really appeared in front of them, the tension in their hearts immediately reached its peak, especially for the women.

It was for no other reason other than the fact that their boss’s manner was far too imposing. His height of 1.9 m, plus his exquisite and profound facial features, just that area naturally carried a deep sense of presence.

“Hello President Yi…” After a long time, an executive quickly returned to his senses and immediately went up to him.

Yi Chen’s steps didn’t even stop. “Where is the meeting room?”

“Ah? Oh… Just right ahead!”

“En, send out a notice to start the meeting.”

In the meeting room, the air-conditioner was running at full-blast. Even the employees, who usually thought the A/C wasn’t very good, couldn’t help get goosebumps on their arms at the moment.

Yi Chen sat in the chair and listened quietly for a long time. When he heard about a particular plan, he paused. “Anchor sponsorship program?”

“Yes. We just launched the program this year, and it’s in its first trial phase.” The division manager immediately explained, “Nowadays, because new anchors are often suppressed, there are fewer and fewer of them that can rise to the top, thus we specially implemented this plan. We also want to train the new anchors in person. The rules and regulations on the contract are also very strict, so we don’t need to worry about them job hopping or any other situations. At present, we have only recruited five anchors, and we will gradually expand the scope of this program in the future.”

Every industry had some unknown little secrets, and the livestreaming industry was no different. No one wanted to be robbed of their job, and among these secrets, insiders knew that repression couldn’t be completely eliminated. Thus, they could only find other ways to suppress it.

Yi Chen suddenly remembered that the anchor he had seen yesterday seemed to have been a new recruit as well?

“Where’s the list of names?”

The division manager rummaged through his documents and found the list immediately. It was yesterday’s livestream data analysis.

Yi Chen took a look at it. As expected, he saw the “yanxyan” ID on it.

According to yesterday’s livestream data, yanxyan was ranked second.

His eyebrows raised slightly; the first place anchor’s numbers were dozens of times higher than that of yanxyan’s.

He looked at the asterisk in front of XKTVlaoshu’s ID and asked, “What does this symbol mean?”

“Ah, this…” The division manager’s expression changed.

Yi Chen raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were dark, and his look flustered the division manager so much he had to confess.

“In fact, this is a relative of a big anchor on our platform. He has shown his face on that big anchor’s livestream before, so he brought some popularity over to his stream, and the numbers were very good after the stream ended.” The division manager said, “…So, we plan to strike while the iron is hot, and give him the recommended position in advance.”

Yi Chen narrowed his eyes.

The division manager tried to sugarcoat it, but putting it simply, just two days after this sponsorship program had started, first place had already been decided.

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and said nothing. When the division manager breathed a sigh of relief, the man suddenly moved.

He lifted his hand and slowly took out a pen from his suit jacket pocket. He opened it and lightly made two strokes on the paper with it.

He scratched out the asterisk and pushed the paper back.

“Are you currently in charge of the program?”

The division manager was stunned. “No, that’s Xiao Zhang&#k2026;”

The named employee immediately sat up straight and was about to speak.

Yi Chen was concise and comprehensive. “Change him out.”

Xiao Zhang’s face immediately froze.

Yi Chen didn’t even give him a passing glance. He glanced sideways at his assistant and said without any hesitation, “Investigate. Check if there’s anyone who has close ties to that new anchor.”

Even if the numbers were good, such a qualifier wasn’t enough to immediately advertise him as a recommended streamer. Perhaps, there was another qualification being taken into account?

The assistant immediately wrote it down in his meeting minutes. “Alright.”

The meeting room’s temperature immediately dropped a few degrees. Previously, there had been some female employees who wanted to work for Yi Chen. At this moment, they were lowering their faces to look at the floor, to avoid being noticed by the big boss.

“Going to take a break to have lunch.”

After the match was over, Yu Yan placed the takeout box in front of him, held the mouse, and mumbled, “Are there any recent, popular dramas? Let’s pass lunchtime with everyone watching a show together? Empresses in the Palace? Imperial court intrigue drama? I’m a big man, watching this isn’t quite right ba.”

Although he said this, he had already opened the first episode of Empresses in the Palace.

[You say you don’t want to, but your hands are honest.]

[Big man? I don’t believe it, turn on your webcam!]

[This show is poisonous. It’s completely just Stallion Emperor and His Concubines. The heroine is neglected for 65 episodes, and in the last 15 episodes, she’ll develop some feelings and become the empress. What the hell… But, there are some good points, the actresses for all the concubines are all very beautiful!]

Yu Yan had ordered a portion of snail soup noodles at noon today. The dish’s smell spread all over the room, which led him to take big bites.

He set the video speed to play twice as fast and ate the vermicelli slowly.

As the viewers had said, the first episode had six beautiful concubines, and each of them had about the same amount of screen time.

“The cast is very luxurious.” A famous actress appeared, and Yu Yan swallowed a noodle and spoke at the same time.

[I like her, too!]

[Obviously Concubine Xian is better looking!! You big pigs just like ones with big boobs!]

[They’re about to go into the concubine baths! It’s super great, don’t know how it got past the censors! Very steamy!]

Soon, the episode reached the part in the baths that the barrage was talking about. The actress’s shoulders were completely exposed, her skin was smooth, soft, and glossy, and her chest had a good amount of cleavage showing. With the smoky, colorful scenery, it felt very vivid.

It really was quite steamy.

[Ahhhhhhhh nosebleed!!]

[She relied on this scene to get a wave of straight male fans! She directly gained over 10,000 fans on Weibo!!]

[Nourishment nourishment nourishment — Did the anchor turn off his mic? Why haven’t you responded?]

Upon seeing the barrage cue him, Yu Yan swallowed a large mouthful of noodles. “I’m eating snail soup noodles, it’s especially delicious.”

[???]

[Should this be your response as a normal guy??]

[Turn on your webcam, I really don’t believe you’re a man now (PS: point the video at your crotch)]

Yu Yan laughed and said in a cooperative tone, “Can’t do that, I’m not one of those sexy anchors.”

Because it was an imperial court intrigue drama, the male lead didn’t show up until 17 minutes into the episode.

Nearing the end of Yu Yan’s meal, he saw a man who was wearing a Dragon Robe, had a straight nose, bright eyes, and entered the scene with an imposing presence.

“Who is the male lead’s actor? Does anybody in the barrage know about him?” He said this as he took out his cellphone and opened his microblog to follow the male actor. “Is he a new actor? I don’t think I’ve seen him before. His air while wearing the Dragon Robe is very nice, the producer has a good eye.”

[???]

[？？？？？？]

[What’s the matter with you, little bro?]

Yu Yan paused and only then figured out that he seemed to have exposed something.

“I’m kidding.” He coughed a little and looked down. He saw that the barrage was still joking, saying that he was acting pretty gay.

At this time, a line of small characters appeared in the stream chat interface.

[1 has entered the stream.]

As if he had seen his savior, he immediately switched the topic. “Welcome to my livestream 1!”

Yi Chen: “…”

In the study, Yi Chen turned down the livestream’s volume, turned on the desktop computer, and pulled up the forum page that he had previously read half of.

Although he was always afraid of noise while working, he didn’t know why but last night, after listening to this little anchor’s livestream, his entire state of mind had relaxed. Also, he was very interested in the content of this game. Although the anchor’s playstyle was relatively simple, he would use clear-cut and violent methods to kill off his enemies one by one, and he would occasionally get excited and nervous.

Liking firearms, appreciating stimulation, the desire to see the moment of the explosion, this was the nature of men.

“Boss has come, no more eating, no more eating,” Yu Yan said, cleaning up the snail soup noodles in front of him quickly. “En? My anchor level is three now?”

He turned on the settings, and sure enough, the lottery option was lit up.

“Then, I’ll hold a drawing for two stream viewers to play PUBG together ba.”

Since it was his first time, Yu Yan studied how this high-end lottery system worked for several minutes before he understood it. Immediately after he set up the participation barrage for the lottery, the livestream page was immediately covered by the barrage.

60 seconds later, the winning viewer names came out.

The room management processed it and soon the viewers’ game IDs were sent to Yu Yan.

The two stream viewers entered the game lobby, and altogether, four female characters stood in the interface, all with four different skin colors.

Coincidentally, the names of the winning stream viewers were very cute. They had all used letters and symbols to create cute and colorful words. They were even wearing the same black hip-length mini-skirt.

[According to my many years of experience in online dating, these two stream viewers must be girls. If I’m wrong, I will quit the online dating scene.]

[Person above, do you take apprentices??]

[Unexpected online dating expert…]

Yu Yan didn’t say much. He directly entered Manners Plaza, and the winning stream viewers’ positions were No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.

“No. 1, No. 2, can you speak?”

Either men or women were fine, he just hoped that he hadn’t drawn stream viewers who couldn’t talk. If that was so, the livestream effect would be greatly reduced.

No. 1 responded, “I can.”

A sweet girlish voice resounded, and you could almost taste the honey.

No. 2 replied, “Can.”

It was the lazy voice of a domineering Jie, one which made people want to immediately lay down flat under its pressure.

So these voices were voted the “top 2 women’s voices that straight male netizens liked the most”.

The livestream chat was boiling.

[Holy shitttttt!!! The host is so lucky!!!!]

[Does No. 1 little Jiejie do online dating?? I’ll buy you a new skirt!!]

[No. 2 little Jiejie fuck me!!!]

[I can!!! I’m fine with anything!!!]

Yu Yan opened the small map. “Where does everyone want to jump to?”

No. 1 answered, “I’m fine with anything.”

No. 2 said, “I want to play something more stimulating.”

“OK, No. 2 little Jiejie, let’s go to Pochinki,” Lu Xiuhe deliberately lowered his pitch and pretended to have a low, deep voice, “I will protect you.”

Alright, I knew you liked domineering Jies better.

Yu Yan randomly marked a house in Pochinki. “Then, jump here ba. Try to land at my target point, it’ll be a bit easier to fight that way.”
