Chapter 76 Go with the Wind

"Li suffered a huge loss in this round. Two for one, the ADC who had just left the city was also forced back to base, and the bottom lane tower was also lost."

"The economic gap has widened significantly. After the cripple finishes the second dragon, he goes back home and then goes out to fight the vanguard. It feels like Captain Li's mid-lane second tower is also going to fall."

"Li's top laner was also held back. Although Pipa's economy was behind, he was still very tanky in team fights."

"He was chosen as a top laner to withstand pressure, and the fact that he's only slightly behind in gold is actually quite good."

"What did the Vanguard Regiment say? Captain Li wants to take over?!"

"We have to take the hit. Not taking it is a slow death. The second mid-lane tower is very important to Captain Li. If the second mid-lane tower falls, their only top laner who is doing well will be in danger."

"We can't beat them. The equipment gap between Captain Li and the team is too big."

"Jiang's vision is excellent! Hmm! An'an's about to open the shot."

"It's open! An'an got Li Ping!"

"Li Ping has collapsed..."

"Captain Li was a bit too hasty in this wave of the vanguard team."

"Yes, Li Ping was positioned too far forward, and An An seized the opportunity to engage. Jiang's mid, jungle, and ADC have very high damage output, and they were instantly killed."

"Jiang's jungler tried to contest the Rift Herald but failed. Jiang won this 0-for-2 exchange."

"I feel like this game will be over in 20 minutes. The economic gap between the two teams has widened to 10,000. Unless Captain Li finds a good opportunity to wipe out Team Jiang, the outcome is basically already decided."

"Jiang has finished upgrading his equipment and left. The vanguard will disappear in twenty seconds. They want to force Li to engage in a team fight in the mid lane."

"Captain Li's positioning... is a bit out of sync."

"Oh no, An'an saw it! It's too late for Captain Li to run now."

"An'an has arrived! Team Li's support is dead! The gold difference is 12,000, it's 5v4, we can congratulate Team Jiang on winning this game in advance!"

"Jiang has pushed to the high ground, does Li still want to fight?"

"We're still fighting! Captain Li's top laner has engaged!"

"Unfortunately, it was just a little short. Let's congratulate Team Jiang on winning this game."

The base belonging to Li Ping's team was destroyed on the live stream screen, and the words "Victory" appeared in large letters on the screen.

An Jin happily celebrated her victory with her team over the game microphone.

Joining her in celebrating her victory were her tens of thousands of fans who stayed in the official live stream room.

The calm barrage of comments froze for a moment, then the screen was filled with gift effects and member banners that caused the glitches for ordinary viewers.

The official staff monitoring the live stream data were dumbfounded.

"Seriously, it's not like we're winning the championship, why all this fancy stuff?"

His boss, who was standing nearby, heard this and smacked him on the head.

"You speak so rudely. If their fans hear you saying that, do you think the company can protect you?"

These celebrities and livestreamers have incredibly powerful fan bases.

Someone can crash a live stream that's been expanded several times just by winning a single game, so dealing with a low-level employee would be even easier.

After being scolded by his boss, the man shrank back and whispered, "I knew it was just the two of us here."

His boss said, "Keep your mouth shut."

After he finished speaking, his supervisor looked at the backend data, which showed a decrease of 60,000 to 70,000 viewers almost instantly, and asked him, "Have all the viewers gone back to An'an's live stream?"

The man nodded and pulled up the backend data for An Jin's live stream. Sure enough, the more than 70,000 people who had disappeared from the official live stream were there.

"Keep the data on file so you can report back to your superiors when they ask."

The official live stream only had 260,000 viewers, and suddenly 70,000 disappeared. As An Jin started her live stream, more and more viewers disappeared from the official live stream. The two people recording the data in the background looked at each other in unison.

"An'an is too amazing! Almost 150,000 people left the official live stream room."

"That's normal. She has about 200,000 viewers in her live stream every day."

"Wow? That's amazing, boss. I've never heard of this person before."

"You're a new streamer who just started this month. It would be strange if you'd already heard of them. Okay, stop chatting and get back to work."

"Okay, okay, I've recorded all the data..."

Not only were the two people monitoring the backend data shocked, but the viewers watching the live stream were also shocked.

Passersby looked at the screen full of gifts that had crashed their phones and asked questions in the live chat with puzzled expressions.

No, who is this person?

Thousands of questions flooded the screen of the official live stream. Some of An Jin's fans who had sent gifts explained to these passersby, while others left after sending their gifts.

If I do the math, An Jin will definitely be going to stream after her match. The official streams are so boring; An Jin's streams are much more fun.

So they all fled.

An Jin, who was waiting for the match on YY, opened the live stream with a smug look on her face.

"See? I told you I was guaranteed to win."

She boasted to the viewers in the chat, saying regretfully, "I was playing a match and couldn't record, otherwise I would have analyzed it frame by frame for you guys to see how amazing the streamer is."

The live stream was filled with gift-giving effects, and the scale of the gifts this time was even greater than in the official live stream.

The carnival and cruise ship events went on one after another, and there were many comments from viewers on the live chat.

An'an, you're amazing! I saw that the other team didn't ban the cat, and I thought you were going to play it. I didn't expect you to master the new hero in just one week!

What a great start! All the other teams are playing like turtles, but An'an's team is playing so intensely. It's so exciting to watch.

An'an is the heroine of the year's most exciting novel! She must keep winning! I want to see An'an compete in offline leagues!

：安安ヾ(°°)安安ヾ(°°)

The sheer volume of praise in the comments was astonishing, causing An Jin's already upturned lips to nearly burst into laughter, reaching her temples.

She rubbed her constantly smiling cheeks, happily clicked into the official live stream, used the two commentators' voices as background music, and cheerfully interacted with the people in the live stream.

The viewers in the live chat were having a blast, chattering away and saying everything.

Because of the lively atmosphere, more and more people stayed in An Jin's live broadcast room.

Many viewers who came to Anjin's live stream out of curiosity stayed there.

The director of the official live stream shouted that something was wrong.

The number of viewers in the live stream dropped from over 200,000 to just over 60,000 in an instant. The director didn't call out any high notes, so everyone thought his voice was low.

An Jin didn't pay much attention to this matter; her energy was focused on interacting with the comments. Even though there were 30,000 to 40,000 more viewers in the live stream than usual, she assumed it was just a normal retention of viewers.

After all, she is currently participating in a livestreaming competition, and the platform is aggressively promoting the streams of the participating streamers. It's not just An Jin's own livestream that's seeing an increase in viewership; other streamers' livestreams are also experiencing a surge in viewership.

Like any other industry, the top streamers take 99 percent of the pie, while the remaining 99 percent of people live off the remaining 1 percent.

The more people in Anjin's live stream, the greater the siphon effect.

Often, the fans attracted to the live streams of many popular streamers are not all due to the streamer's personal charm.

It's not because the fan base that plays along with the streamer is fun enough.

Just like how female fans of celebrities can form a fan circle when they gather together, An Jin's fans are growing so much that even eight membership-only groups couldn't contain all of her enthusiastic fans.

She hums a song, sometimes without even needing to interact much with the chat during the live stream.

An Jin's fan base is so peculiar and unconventional that new fans don't even need to know much; as long as you join the chat in criticizing An Jin, everyone is considered one family.

It's like a drop of water flowing into the ocean.

An Jin's fan group welcomes everyone to join.

Whether you're a fan, a hater, or a fanboy, as long as you can spend money, An Jin never rejects the joining of any fan group.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the number of fans increases rapidly and the fan base expands quickly.

The downside is that the members' groups are constantly arguing. An Jin originally had ten Tadpole members' groups, but two of them broke up due to the arguments, leaving only eight.

The fans in the group originally wanted to ask An Jin to uphold justice, but An Jin didn't care at all. The next day, when the boss asked her directly, she just gave a simple answer.

"My An Family Army doesn't accept cowards. Whoever wins the argument is my fan."

An Jin doesn't care. As long as it doesn't cross the legal line, let the fans argue.

An Jin won both matches on Saturday.

The team's points propelled them to second place.

The reason he didn't get first place is because Jiang Jinhan spent too many points when he tried to steal the bread man.

The match continued on Sunday, but this time the luck wasn't good. An Jin was targeted, and both of her best heroes were banned. I don't know what the opposing team was thinking.

It's not targeting the AD carry or mid laner, but specifically targeting An Jin.

Fortunately, she still won despite the setbacks. An Jin played a support role that was completely useless, and the skill usage was so confusing. After the match, when she returned to her live stream, the chat was full of people calling her a noob and an idiot.

An Jin was completely unconvinced, so she stopped watching the official live stream and started a live chat to argue with the streamer's owner.

After spraying for a short while, the person and the live stream room were carried away.

It was blocked for three days.

Lisa said regretfully to An Jin, "It violated the platform rules, and I can't unblock it."

She wanted to advise An Jin to tone it down a bit. After all, she was a big streamer with millions of followers on Tadpole, and there were hundreds of thousands of people watching her live stream. She made so much money every day, and being banned for three days like this would be a huge loss.

Full of regret, An Jin asked Lisa, "If I can't broadcast for the next three days, will I still get my base salary from the platform?"

Lisa was surprised that An Jin was worried about this, and she was speechless for a moment.

"The base salary is paid normally. As long as you have enough live streaming hours, you will receive the base salary."

An Jin relaxed a lot upon hearing this, and even comforted Lisa in return: "That's great. It's only a three-day ban. I'll just treat it as a vacation. I've been busy with the competition every day recently, and I finally have time to rest."

Lisa sighed: "The match footage and training materials will be released tomorrow. I'm worried you won't be able to stream and won't get any of this traffic."

An Jin laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I have so much data, there's no rush."

Lisa thought about it and agreed.

An Jin is now the undisputed number one streamer in the Alliance Zone. Although her fan base may not be as large as other streamers, the number of viewers in her live stream room is overwhelming.

Her live stream audience is diverse; many of her fans don't even play League of Legends and are complete novices who simply find An Jin's live stream entertaining, which is why they stay.

Two consecutive days of victories in four games have brought considerable attention to An Jin's team.

The number of viewers in the live streams of Jiang Jinhan, Breadman, Cripple, and Pipa has increased significantly, not to mention An Jin, who is the most popular among them.

Before participating in the streamer cup, her live stream had an average of 180,000 to 210,000 viewers.

After participating in the streamer cup, An Jin's live stream yesterday had 260,000-280,000 viewers watching the comments section.

Lisa, who had obtained Anjin's backend data, was utterly dumbfounded.

An Jin's data is among the top streamers, not just in the League of Legends region, but even in the Tadpole Video live streaming region.

Lisa composed herself, left the office, and headed to the break room for a cup of instant noodles.

Since Anjin's live stream viewership exceeded 100,000, Lisa's status in the company has also risen accordingly.

Her familiar supervisors don't even have their own offices yet, but she does.

An Jin put down her phone and left the study feeling relaxed.

Yan Qing was still the same as always, sitting in the living room reading a book.

An Jin didn't know what was so interesting about the book. She picked up the flowers on the table and laughed, "My live stream got banned. Let's go out and have some fun tomorrow."

Yan Qing put down her book: "Where do you want to go?"

An Jin thought for a moment and said matter-of-factly, "I don't know. I was only locked down for three days. I can't go too far, can I?"

Yan Qing looked around at the surrounding attractions and suggested, "How about we go hiking?"

An Jin wasn't picky about what to do; her only requirement was, "Okay, is the food at the restaurant good?"

Yan Qing chuckled: "Don't worry, you won't go hungry."

An Jin: "I finally get to go out, I want to eat something delicious!"

Yan Qing nodded: "The scenery there is quite nice. Do you want to bring some clothes to take pictures?"

An Jin: "Sure, let's take it together. By the way, is it far? Are we driving there?"

Yan Qing: "It's a five-hour drive, not far."

An Jin suddenly thought of something and asked warily, "Just the two of us?"

Yan Qing glanced at An Jin, whose expression was written all over her face, and said softly, "Yuan Yuan will go too."

It wasn't that he didn't want some time alone with his partner, but the place was indeed remote. Driving for such a long time back and forth, if An Jin wanted to take photos when they arrived, Yan Qing alone wouldn't be able to handle it.

Zhang Yuanyuan was invited for two reasons: first, to avoid being photographed by An Jin's fans, as she could provide cover; and second, to have someone to help with labor.

Speaking of Zhang Yuanyuan, An Jin asked with a hint of doubt, "How has Yuanyuan been lately?"

Yan Qing looked at her: "What aspect are you asking about?"

An Jin: "Live stream, isn't she going to do a live stream?"

Yan Qing: "I've been learning at my friend's company for a while now. She says she's learned a lot, but I don't know the specifics."

An Jin said with a grin, "It's okay, I'll torture her when she comes tomorrow."
