Chapter 65 Lucky Balloons
There was no sound in Lu Yanhe's live stream; the only thing visible was him looking down at a book. Occasionally, he would pick up a pen and scribble on paper to make some notes, but most of the time it was a static image, as if the pause button had been pressed.
The content of this live stream was completely unexpected.
However, the back-end staff of the live streaming platform noticed that the number of viewers in this live stream had increased abnormally in a short period of time. They then learned the identity of the streamer, who turned out to be Lu Yanhe, the hero who had become popular all over the internet in the past two days for his act of bravery.
His status as a celebrity is negligible, but the news of his quick thinking and cooperation with the police to subdue criminals has truly gone viral.
Without hesitation, the back-end staff immediately pushed Lu Yanhe's live stream to the homepage's recommended page.
After Lu Yanhe's live stream was featured on the homepage, the number of viewers surged.
The main reason is that the cover image used for Lu Yanhe's live stream was a screenshot of him reading a book. Putting everything else aside, his face is still quite striking, which attracted a lot of people.
The platform's recommendation for him even included the phrase, "After bravely subduing the criminals, this high-quality idol is now livestreaming about learning!"
However, Lu Yanhe's live stream content was too monotonous. Even the staff members who watched it felt that there were no highlights worth promoting.
Who would have the time to watch someone read a book?
Many people flocked to the live stream, and the number of viewers quickly reached several thousand, and then broke ten thousand.
A few longtime fans were still explaining in the chat that this was how the live stream usually was, and that Lu Yanhe rarely chatted with anyone or had any other live stream content.
But now there are too many people coming in, and the comments are scrolling too fast, so we can't explain it all and have to give up.
Many people clicked in out of curiosity, watched for a while, found it uninteresting, and left.
After the number of viewers for the live stream exceeded 10,000, the overall trend has been downward.

"Old Lu is really doing a live stream," Li Zhibai said.
Yan Liang was doing push-ups in the living room when he suddenly heard Li Zhibai's words and stopped, exclaiming, "Huh?"
Li Zhibai said, "He really did open a live streaming room to promote learning, didn't you know?"
Yan Liang said, "I don't know."
Lu Yanhe had mentioned his plan to do live streaming to both of them, but he never brought it up again, so they both assumed that he had given up on the idea.
After Lu Yanhe started live streaming, he always stayed in his room, neither speaking nor making any other noise. Yan Liang and Li Zhibai assumed he was reading in his room and had no idea that he had started live streaming.
They huddled together, looking at the screen on their phones.
"...Was he really just reading a book live on stream? There was no interaction at all?"
"It seems so."
"Won't it always be like this?"
"I saw someone in the chat saying that he has been streaming for many days, and it's always like this."
"What kind of effect can this live stream produce? Does he really think he can learn at the same time and increase his popularity at the same time?"
"There are over four thousand viewers."
"You didn't see the comments section; almost everyone was saying it was boring."
Yan Liang and Li Zhi were stunned for a long time.
Li Zhibai opened the gift interface and sent Lu Yanhe two lucky balloons, each worth 100 yuan.
Yan Liang looked at Li Zhibai in surprise: "What's this?"
"At least give him some support," Li Zhibai said. "Look, it's been so long, and no one has sent him any gifts."
Someone in the live chat immediately commented: "Wow, this live stream is so boring, yet a generous lady is giving away lucky balloons? Looks really do matter!"
Li Zhibai's face immediately darkened.
He angrily retorted: "You rich girl my ass, I'm a man!"
Yan Liang laughed.
Several people commented "hahahaha".
The person spoke again: Wow, it seems that as long as you're good-looking, you can attract both men and women.
Li Zhibai looked furious, wishing he could drag this person out of the live stream and beat him up.
Yan Liang: "There are all kinds of people online, so don't get angry with these kinds of people."
Li Zhibai said, "It's obvious that Lao Lu's live stream really doesn't have many fans anymore."
How did you find out about his live stream?
"I saw his photo recommended on the homepage, and at first I thought someone was using his photo to do a fake live stream," Li Zhibai said.
Yan Liang said with some envy, "Now he's finally famous again, even Jiang Yuqian is asking him to act in her movies."
"What's there to envy? With your current hard work and obedience, you'll have it all in the future." Li Zhibai patted Yan Liang on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work, young man."

After midnight, Lu Yanhe yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.
He closed the book and was shocked to see that there were 1,039 viewers in his live stream.
He didn't pay attention to the activity in his live stream room all night, and he was unaware that his live stream room had a peak of more than 10,000 viewers.
He was surprised by the number of viewers, which exceeded a thousand. He turned on his audio and asked, "Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
Someone immediately replied: "You were featured on the homepage."
After nearly four hours of live streaming, Lu Yanhe finally spoke, startling many people who were doing other things while watching the live stream. They had no idea where the voice came from.
The chat room quickly became active again, with a group of people popping up to comment.
What surprised Lu Yanhe even more was that someone actually gave him two "lucky balloons".
This is the first time someone has sent him a gift since he started live streaming.
According to the platform's revenue sharing, he would receive half.
Lu Yanhe said, "Thank you, that's all for today's live stream. See you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he turned off the live stream.
Lu Yanhe walked out of the room and poured himself some water.
When Yan Liang saw him come out, he asked, "Is the live stream over?"
Lu Yanhe nodded, then suddenly realized and asked, "How did you know I had already started my live stream?"
Yan Liang hummed twice and said, "Li Zhibai saw your recommendation on the live streaming platform. We even watched for a while, and he even sent you two lucky balloons."
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened.
It turns out those two lucky balloons were obtained by Li Zhibai.
He was wondering why someone was suddenly giving him a gift.
His livestream, which had absolutely no entertainment value… Yes, after streaming for so many days, Lu Yanhe finally admitted this fact. He had always thought that although his livestream lacked content, its main purpose was companionship. Didn't anyone feel more motivated to study alone if there was a streamer studying alongside them?
The streamer who has this idea of becoming popular through unconventional means deeply understands a truth: success through unconventional means is often one in a million.
Why is he the one in ten thousand?
Lu Yanhe was not discouraged.
I've made live streaming a habit, and even though not many people watch, I still have a few fans who are online regularly.
For example, that "beautiful girl Lanlan".
I met her yesterday, and I don't know what happened to her afterwards.
