Chapter 106 Two in One
Medicine God said he was leaving the live broadcast room, and this time he really left, because a welcoming voice came from Ye Mengmeng, "Welcome Medicine God brother back to Mengmeng's live broadcast room~"
Afterwards, Ye Mengmeng looked a little embarrassed and said to Jiang Linyi, "01 sister, Medicine God brother said that he wanted to pay for your medical expenses in this PK, but just now... um, maybe 01 sister, you said something a little... presumptuous, Medicine God brother said that we won't score any points in this round, and we will have to pay for your family's medical expenses."
Otherwise, why would Medicine God always be gaining votes in Ye Mengmeng’s live broadcast room?
Yaoshen's original words were: You tell the host on the other side that she just offended me, so we won't get any points in this PK, and you will have to pay for her family's medical expenses.
After Ye Mengmeng conveyed this, the eldest brother's words immediately became much more tactful.
Jiang Linyi immediately responded: "It's okay, I just happened to have these, so I can pass them on to you."
Jiang Linyi pointed at her messy hair and her face which was covered tightly by a mask.
Ye Mengmeng: “…”
Ye Mengmeng continued to pass on the message: "Brother Yaoshen said that it's okay to pay for the medical expenses, and the punishment is still the same as before, confessing to the top brother on the daily list."
Jiang Linyi said with disdain: "Who are you looking down on? There are so many elders in our family here today, as if they are saying that you will definitely win."
After saying that, Jiang Linyi raised her chin in a particularly arrogant manner and made a "tsk" sound.
She now has a messy hair and her face is covered by a mask. At first glance, she looks like someone who has been beaten up miserably by others. Yet, the words she says are very arrogant. If someone who doesn't know her family's conditions sees her, they will probably laugh out loud.
Soon it was time for everyone to canvass for votes without using their microphones.
With the instigation from Medicine God, several big brothers are now eager to try.
The current scores between the two sides are not that big, Jiang Linyi 751, Ye Mengmeng 700.
Now there are two options, either defend the tower and prevent Yaoshen from stealing, then you win the game and nothing happens.
Or you can let Yao Shen steal, but the points stolen must be controlled, and you have to find a way to fight for the number one position.
Currently, there are only two people competing fiercely.
The interpolation value is not large.
However, neither of them took action at this moment.
Jiang Linyi's score remained unchanged, and Ye Mengmeng's score also remained unchanged. It seemed that just as the God of Medicine said, Ye Mengmeng was asked to come here to pay for the huge medical expenses.
【LZL: Are we going to defend the tower in this game? 】
Just when the older brothers and sisters were silent and no one spoke, LZL stood up and asked a crucial question.
Jiang Linyi waved her hand, "Let's not keep it anymore."
The game has gotten to this point, Jiang Linyi actually felt that even if Yao Shen stole the tower, he would not use the same move twice.
But she kept these words in her heart and didn't say them out loud.
"It's just right that I'm about to go off the air after this round, so I'll chat with you all." Originally, Jiang Linyi had not planned to play this PK round, and planned to spend the last half hour chatting with her brothers and sisters.
If Yaoshen hadn't taken the initiative to ask for a live link, and hadn't used the name of Uncle Durian, Jiang Linyi wouldn't have agreed.
Soon, the last four minutes passed in casual chatting.
The big brothers on Jiang Linyi's side also obeyed and stopped voting, leaving no one guarding the tower.
As for Medicine God, he reached 520,000 points in the last ten seconds.
His speed of gaining points was not very fast, and he was ten seconds ahead of schedule, which clearly told the other side that he was going to steal the tower openly.
Watching the opponent's health bar gradually decreasing, Jiang Linyi in the live broadcast room refused to increase his health by even a single point.
Black Iron Hammer is the one who is most happy to see this result.
He was even more looking forward to the punishment of failure than the God of Medicine, and was just waiting for the other party to make a move.
After opening the microphone, Ye Mengmeng very concisely proposed the punishment for losing this round of PK, "This round, I will punish you to carry me upstairs. Carry my Medicine God brother to the fifth floor."
As soon as Ye Mengmeng's words came out, Jiang Linyi's live broadcast room immediately became lively.
【? ? ? ? 】
【Black Iron Hammer:? ? ? 】
[Black Hammer: Ask her to play another round!] 】
[Medicine God Gift 01 Carnival X1X2X3X4...X20] (Cat Playing Points 600000)
[Medicine God Gift 01 Carnival X1X2X3X4X5] (Cat Playing Points 150000)
【Uncle Durian: @Medicine God? 】
[Uncle Durian: So this is what the God of Medicine was thinking? 】
At this moment, the Medicine God, who happened to come to Jiang Linyi's live broadcast room to deliver medical expenses to Jiang Linyi, also heard the punishment proposed by Ye Mengmeng. His hands trembled, and the carnival combo of delivering medical expenses was broken.
【Medicine God: …】
What the hell is Ye Mengmeng doing? ! After Yao Shen came to deliver the medical expenses, he was waiting to squat in the live broadcast room to watch the fun. Now, let alone watching the fun, after delivering the gifts, he didn't dare to say a word, and immediately slipped back to Ye Mengmeng's live broadcast room.
[Drug God: I’m going to die, Ye Mengmeng! 】
This punishment was proposed by Ye Mengmeng.
Yaoshen slowly gained points ten seconds in advance, essentially because he wanted to watch the fight start here. He was determined to steal the tower, and he even opened two small accounts, just to wait for Jiang Linyi to gain points so that he could steal the tower at the critical moment.
But his points were clearly increasing slowly, while Jiang Linyi's score remained unchanged.
The God of Medicine was unhappy because he didn't get what he wanted.
During the process, he had already played the so-called confession to the No. 1 brother on the list. Ye Mengmeng's affectionate confession to him gave him goose bumps. If he continued to punish Jiang Linyi and made her confess to her No. 1 brother on the list as well, it would be hard not to feel that this was revenge.
So Yaoshen simply asked Ye Mengmeng to think of a punishment that would make the other brothers fight each other, such as asking Jiang Linyi how the brothers in her mind would be ranked according to their favorability.
Yao Shen suggested a direction, but Ye Mengmeng opened up another idea.
Yao Shen essentially just wanted to have fun and watch the big brothers on Jiang Linyi's side fight.
But if Jiang Linyi really did the ranking, the person who would be placed on the top would only be the female anchor Jiang Linyi.
Therefore, Ye Mengmeng's mind worked rapidly and she changed to another punishment.
Essentially, Yaoshen wanted to see the reactions of Jiang Linyi's lgfs, so it would be better to directly shift the source of the controversy to a third party.
It just so happens that the punishment of carrying someone on one's back to the building is something that the female anchor would find a little ambiguous if she gave it to the big brother.
This punishment would allow Medicine God to see the reactions of the big brothers as he wished, while also serving his own big brother, killing two birds with one stone.
"01 Sister, do you know how to carry a building?" Before connecting with Jiang Linyi, Ye Mengmeng had learned a little about the situation of this female anchor.
Knowing that she was a group dancer anchor and had little time for live broadcasts, Ye Mengmeng was afraid that she didn't understand how to play this kind of PK punishment. So she specially posted the lines of "carrying someone on your back" in Jiang Linyi's live broadcast room to explain to her what it meant to carry someone on your back.
When Jiang Linyi played with Xuehua Sucaicai and the others for the first time, she had seen the female host being punished for carrying someone on her back, so she naturally knew about it.
"Okay." Jiang Linyi agreed immediately.
She now looked like she had been beaten badly. Jiang Linyi felt that it was hard to say whether this punishment, such as being carried on the back of a building, was a punishment for herself or for the God of Medicine!
Jiang Linyi followed Ye Mengmeng's example and also prepared a piece of instrumental music BGM backstage.
Then Jiang Linyi cleared her throat and started to punish while playing the BGM.
"I'll carry Medicine God brother upstairs, and I'll kiss you when I get back~mua~"
At the same time, the DJ version of the BGM of "Pig Bajie Carrying His Wife on His Back" sounded.
【? ? ? 】
【Hahahahahahahahahaha】
[Hahahahahahaha Help me, how can this be so funny! 】
[Good reviews for BGM!] ! 】
[I am dying of laughter, this BGM is so suitable! 】
[Suddenly I am curious about the Medicine God’s current expression…]
Originally, in the live broadcast room, when several brothers and sisters heard the punishment of carrying someone on their back to the building, their faces looked a little unfriendly.
Now after hearing this DJ's cheerful version of music, all my anger disappears instantly and only joy remains.
I have to admire Jiang Linyi's quick little brain.
Jiang Linyi hunched his back and acted as if he was out of breath.
"I'll carry Brother Yaoshen up to the second floor, mua~mua~mua~"
After all, in her current image, the mask covers her entire face, leaving only her facial features exposed. With the covering, Jiang Linyi didn't feel any discomfort at all even when she opened her mouth to utter the onomatopoeia "mua" for a kiss. Instead, she became more and more excited as the cheerful background music played.
"I'll carry Brother Yaoshen up to the second floor, mua~mua~mua~"
"I'm carrying Brother Medicine God up to the third floor, mua~mua~mua~"
"I'm carrying Brother Medicine God up to the fourth floor, mua~mua~mua~"
"I'm carrying Brother Medicine God up to the fourth floor, mua~mua~mua~"
"I've finished carrying it. I'm so tired. Brother Yaoshen, you're so heavy and so fat. It's time to lose some weight and manage your body!" After carrying the luggage up the stairs, Jiang Linyi deliberately muffled her voice and added a wavy line when she called him Brother Yaoshen.
The smile on the Medicine God's face froze the moment the BGM sounded. Fortunately, Ye Mengmeng did not set the number of floors too high and only asked us to carry the load to the fifth floor, so it was finished quickly.
But after the performance of "Back to the Building", Jiang Linyi also made a sharp comment on the "weight" of the God of Medicine.
Not to mention the fans in Jiang Linyi’s live broadcast room, even Ye Mengmeng’s comments in the live broadcast room were so funny that they were laughing.
[Hahahaha, this female anchor on the opposite side is so funny! 】
[It’s a bit cute, I’m secretly paying attention to it.] 】
[I kind of want to interview the God of Medicine. How do you feel now? [doge]】
[Hahahaha, you above are really brave. You used your ultimate skill right at the opponent's face. 】
Ye Mengmeng did not expect Jiang Linyi to do this. The moment she heard the BGM, she almost lost control of her expression. However, she was a female anchor who had been broadcasting for so long and was well-trained. She could hold back no matter how funny it was.
"Okay, the punishment is done, I'll leave the room first." After Jiang Linyi finished her "sharp review" of Medicine God, she checked the time and disconnected the connection on her own initiative.
Under normal circumstances, these PK female anchors, when faced with this kind of punishment that is a bit ambiguous and borderline given to the opposing rich brother, will more or less have some thoughts.
On the one hand, after all, the rich brother sent a lot of medical expenses, and considering the medical expenses, his attitude must be attentive. On the other hand, if this kind of generous and magnanimous brother can leave a good impression on him, maybe he will come in to feed him when he passes by the live broadcast room in the future.
But Jiang Linyi doesn't play by the rules.
She has so many older brothers and sisters supporting her at home, so she doesn't care about this at all.
Jiang Linyi didn't know that her live broadcast tonight was once again recorded and was sharply criticized by gossip accounts in various gossip live broadcast rooms.
Jiang Linyi's three-hour live broadcast directly topped the daily rankings with more than 20 million points.
This score, if put at the official annual celebration of Funny Cats at the end of the year, would not be considered very eye-catching.
After all, at the end of the year, each female anchor’s home will save up a lot of votes just to give their favorite anchor a good ranking, especially the annual ranking, which is an important competition that determines who will eventually win the title of the number one anchor in each track.
But today is just an ordinary Saturday.
There weren't even any official events.
During the three-hour live broadcast, apart from the connection between Medicine God and Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back, the most talked about thing was the Black Iron Hammer that scored 5.15 million on the personal daily list that day.
In the daily ranking of 20 million points, Black Hammer alone contributed a quarter of the points.
These accounts that specialize in gossip are the best at following the clues to get to the bottom of things.
All the anchors that Heitiechui had followed and given gifts to in the past were dug up.
Compared to the other big brothers on Jiang Linyi's list, Black Hammer's past record can be said to be terrifyingly clean.
The place where he made the most money was some live broadcast rooms that played barrage games.
The barrage game is originally a relatively small live broadcast circle. Unlike those anchors who play PK, these anchors who do barrage games are making a fortune in silence.
The content of the live broadcast is very simple, which is some confrontational strategic mini-games. For example, the ancient style city battle attack and defense game. The game is divided into two camps, one is the attacker and the other is the defender.
After the brothers and sisters have selected a camp and given the corresponding gifts, the game screen will summon the corresponding soldiers and weapons in the corresponding camp.
If the attackers have offensive weapons such as cavalry, infantry, cannons, and catapults, the defenders will have armored soldiers, reinforced city walls, repaired city gates, and other corresponding props to enhance defense.
The winning or losing of this kind of game is purely a game of RMB. Whichever side has more rich players will win.
One of the most famous barrage game hosts is called Black Humor. He plays many types of barrage games. Unlike other barrage game hosts, he often plays only one or two repeated games. Black Hammer and the Cat were upgraded to level 70, which means he had to at least reach level 65 in his live broadcast room.
After playing for a long time, several wealthy brothers and sisters who often played barrage games in the black humor live broadcast room in the same camp all changed to the black XX format.
Hei Guoba is one of them, which is why the two became so familiar with each other after Hei Guoba bumped into Heitiechu in Jiang Linyi's live broadcast room.
Apart from a few barrage game anchors, there were only a few game anchors and outdoor anchors left in the live broadcast rooms where Heitiechu had given gifts. Without exception, these anchors were all male anchors.
Jiang Linyi is the only female anchor in his consumption records, and she is also a group dancer.
This layer is special and instantly takes on a peachy flavor.
It just so happened that when these gossip accounts were gossiping about the relationship between Hei Tiechui and Jiang Linyi, there were also quite a few fans of Jiang Linyi's Elf fan signboards adding to the chaos, and contributed quite a few CP names while the netizens were eating melons.
All of a sudden, all the votes on the black iron hammer were classified as love votes for husband fans.
For the entire day, the names of Heitiechui and 01 were linked to all the major gossip live broadcast rooms. As long as the live broadcast room mentioned these two names, it was as if it had mastered the traffic password, and the number of people online in the live broadcast room instantly increased.
As a result, the relationship between the Black Hammer and 01 suddenly became a hot word in all live broadcast rooms.
Of course, Jiang Linyi, one of the protagonists, didn't know all this.
On Sunday, it’s time to play the weekly game again.
As usual, Jiang Linyi would practice dancing in the morning and prepare for the live broadcast in the afternoon.
But early this morning, a big event happened in the company. That is, Nian Nian, the top girl of Times Girls, terminated her contract with the company.
It’s not entirely true to say that the contract has been terminated. It’s just that all live broadcast-related work has been temporarily suspended, but he has not resigned from HX yet.
To be honest, with the traffic in HX company, before Jiang Linyi and Xiao Yunduo became popular, she could be called the undisputed number one. It can be said that she alone has reached the current status of HX's girl group.
How could the company let go of such a veteran anchor who is a pillar of the station and whose contract has not expired yet?
Therefore, regarding Niannian's contract termination, many female anchors are speculating how much money she has lost. After all, in Niannian's weekly competitions and monthly guild competitions, her eldest brother can get a lot of votes. The four weekly competitions plus the guild competitions can get at least one million votes together.
He can be said to be a cash cow of HX. How could HX be willing to let him go?
Jiang Linyi was also very curious about this matter. However, as soon as the news of Nian Nian’s termination of the contract came out, all of Nian Nian’s social media accounts that she used during her time at HX were taken back by the company in the past two years.
Niannian has her own house and does not live in the company dormitory. No one can contact her for the time being.
Probably knowing that the termination of the contract with Niannian had shaken the morale of the team, HX issued a notice on the same day, stating that Niannian was not terminating the contract, but had been broadcasting continuously for two years without a break and was exhausted, so they asked the company for a long vacation and wanted to have a good rest.
In addition to explaining this matter, the company also sternly stated that it is forbidden to discuss matters related to termination of the contract within the company. If the female anchor wants to terminate the contract, she can go to Liu Qi, who signed the contract, to discuss it separately.
Within HX company, hosts are free to come and go, and there are no restrictions on how they can terminate their contracts.
After sending this notice, Liu Qi once again called Jiang Linyi to the office alone to discuss matters related to the re-signing of the contract.
When Liu Qi first mentioned it to Jiang Linyi, Jiang Linyi declined several times, saying that she needed to think about it carefully. At that time, Liu Qi was not so anxious. Although he occasionally gave her some advice on WeChat at work, he did not force her to change the contract.
After the Nian Nian incident was exposed, Liu Qi's attitude became tough when he approached Jiang Linyi to discuss changing the contract. He even gave Jiang Linyi an ultimatum, requiring Jiang Linyi to give him an answer within this week at the latest, otherwise the company would take compulsory measures.
As for what the compulsory measures are, Liu Qi did not explain.
After coming out of Liu Qi's office, Jiang Linyi ran into Nian Nian again.
When Nian Nian saw the direction Jiang Linyi came out, she guessed at a glance where she had just gone.
Nian Nian took a step forward and blocked Jiang Linyi's way. "Does Liu Qi want to change the contract with you? Don't change it. If you trust me, wait for me for a while. I will come out and talk to you about something later."
Jiang Linyi herself was somewhat curious about the annual contract termination process, and nodded in agreement.
In the live broadcast of the girl group that plays cats, the performance commission that the female anchor can get is not very high.
First of all, the daily performance turnover is divided between HX and Doumao platform.
HX is considered a big guild on DouMao, and the revenue sharing ratio it can get with DouMao is quite high. Ordinary anchors who have not signed contracts with any company or DouMao share the revenue with DouMao in a 50-50 ratio, while HX has negotiated a 30-70 ratio.
Of such a high share, the female anchor can only get 25%. Of the remaining 45%, the host and the operation each get something, and the proportion is generally between 5% and 7%. The remaining 27% is all taken by the company.
The female anchor can only get 25% of the profits from group broadcasts. For individual broadcasts, since there is no host operation and various other expenses, the female anchor and the company will split it in half, each taking 37.5%.
This is why each live broadcast room tries so hard to rank their favorite broadcasters in the weekly competitions in order to get the right to compete.
Of course, although the company takes such a high share, these are not entirely the company's pure profits. After all, the company also needs to spend money on various venues and equipment, the monthly wages of employees who receive fixed salaries in the live broadcast room, the wages of the company's makeup artists, various costumes and props in the live broadcast room, and the taxes of the anchors.
The tax alone is not a small amount.
Therefore, although the company's commission is high, it and the female anchors can be said to complement each other.
However, this ratio is for those female anchors with average or not-so-good performance. For female anchors with performance in this field like Jiang Linyi, it is a bit like bloodsucking.
Therefore, once a group becomes popular with a female anchor, the company will immediately sign a new contract with the anchor with a higher commission.
However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The higher the commission, the more hidden clauses there will naturally be.
Jiang Linyi didn't go far. She was sitting in the lounge next to Liu Qi's office. When Nian Nian came out of Liu Qi's office, she saw her at a glance.
After meeting Jiang Linyi, Nian Nian took her to a small meeting room in the company.
"What did Liu Qi say in the contract?"
"Sister Nian Nian, have you really terminated the contract?"
After sitting down, the two people asked each other questions in unison.
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed out loud again.
"The contract has not been completely terminated yet. But when I signed this contract, it still had one and a half years before it expired. If I terminate the contract early, I will have to pay too much compensation." Niannian was the first to answer Jiang Linyi's question.
Then Niannian mentioned a termination amount, and Jiang Linyi’s eyes widened when she heard it.
“However, I have compromised now. I will no longer do group broadcasts, but will switch to individual broadcasts.” Niannian said, detailing the crappy clauses in the contract she signed.
The reason why Nian Nian was able to become a broadcaster was actually thanks to the negotiations between her eldest brother, Brother Yi and the company.
The group has been broadcasting together for two years, and Brother Yi has protected her even earlier than Hei Guoba. During these two years, she has participated in more than a dozen guild competitions. For each guild competition, Brother Yi would prepare at least 3 million votes for her.
Adding the tickets for the weekly competitions and daily tickets, I have spent at least a thousand tickets for Nian Nian in two years.
For HX Company, such a big brother can be said to be a rich man who pays the salaries of all employees in the company.
Therefore, after the eldest brother's mediation and his promise to ensure that after the switch to live streaming, Niannian would maintain a performance turnover of at least 100 live streams per month for half a year, the company agreed to terminate the contract with Niannian in advance.
What this means now is that Niannian’s original one and a half year contract termination period has been brought forward to six months. However, within these six months, Niannian’s monthly live broadcast flow must reach 100. If it fails to reach that level in one month, the contract termination will be delayed by one month.
After achieving the performance target for six consecutive months, the company formally terminated the contract with Nian Nian peacefully.
Of course, since it’s all broadcast, the natural share is calculated based on 37.5%.
After talking about himself, Nian Nian started to ask Jiang Linyi about her contract.
I don’t know if it was because of Jiang Linyi’s terrible dancing skills during the trial broadcast that Liu Qi, who was in charge of signing the contract, felt that Jiang Linyi might not have much chance of becoming popular. Apart from the huge termination fee he had to pay if he terminated the contract early, the conditions were not good, but they were not harsh either.
After Nian Nian finished reading the contract archived in Jiang Linyi's hand, an idea came to his mind.
As Jiang Linyi listened to Nian Nian's words, her eyes gradually brightened.
