Chapter 288 Online Slap in the Face, It's Explosive! [1 Update]
Originally, an academic competition wouldn't have attracted much attention.
After all, most people don't even know the dates of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
However, thanks to provocations from foreign websites and programs produced by the main television station, ISC's popularity soared to unprecedented heights.
The number one spot on the global leaderboard, in particular, is so mysterious that every social media platform is buzzing with discussions about who exactly is at the top.
To be able to completely crush all the contestants from other countries with such overwhelming force, it seems like he just participated casually.
Ying Zijing's admission naturally caused a sensation in the live broadcast room.
Every live stream has trolls who deliberately stir up trouble.
Apart from a few bored keyboard warriors, most of them were sent by competing streamers of the same type.
Ying Zijing's account, Chocolate Mousse, has only streamed 15 times in total, and she has never shown her face.
Even so, its popularity remains high.
There are already few viewers for academic live streams; most people watch games, singing, and live e-commerce.
There are only nine academic live streams on the Shark Live platform.
The one who initially started the trouble was sent by a streamer named "Witch Xiaoxiao".
Ying Zijin hasn't streamed for a long time, and besides her old fans, there are even more new viewers watching her streams.
Hearing her admit that she is number one on the global list right now is hard to describe.
【Well, even though you're learning to be a streamer and need to exaggerate to gain popularity, ISC is still out of the question.】
I was hoping to learn something, but it turns out he's just a braggart. I'm outta here; I'll go watch Witch Xiaoxiao's livestream instead.
This displeased the longtime fans who had been following the story.
[Got this, show it to these idiots, and slap them in the face.]
Let me tell you, if anyone is to take the top spot on the overall leaderboard, only a true master like me deserves it.
They watched Ying Zijin's live streams all the way through; she really is almost omnipotent.
"Hmm, wait a moment." Ying Zijing twirled the pen in her hand. "Let's finish today's tasks first."
She does have obsessive-compulsive disorder; she has to do things in a specific order.
At this point, the comments section exploded with messages.
[Heh, no way. The number one on the overall leaderboard is going to do a live stream? Do you think you're the witch Xiaoxiao?]
ISC actually limits participation to people with a high school education or below.
However, it is truly beyond the capabilities of junior high school students to participate in this competition, and schools do not encourage it.
Therefore, even if you haven't attended high school, you can still apply to ISC as long as you meet the requirements.
The streamer, Witch Xiaoxiao, only finished junior high school before entering the live streaming industry.
She still couldn't climb the overall rankings, but she ranked 898th on the China regional rankings.
This ranking is already quite high for netizens, considering that the total number of people participating in ISC in China has reached 1.5 million so far!
And most importantly, the witch Xiao Xiao is very beautiful.
If you don't watch a live stream for the faces, what do you watch for?
At that moment, a dialog box popped up in the live stream.
[The witch Xiaoxiao challenges you to a duel. Would you accept?]
【whether】
This is a new feature on the Shark Live platform, and many streamers use it to increase their popularity.
However, only the winning side will benefit; if the losing side loses, the popularity of the live stream will drop drastically.
Ying Zijing didn't even glance at it and casually closed it.
She laid out the paper and said in a calm voice, "Today I'll talk about celestial bodies in outer space."
[You can't even accept a PK challenge from Lian Xiaoxiao, yet you dare to claim to be number one on the overall leaderboard? Do you even deserve it?]
The trolls who were trying to stir up trouble were unable to continue because they were promptly banned by the moderators.
Just as Ying Zijin began to speak, the chat box persistently popped up once again.
[The witch Xiaoxiao challenges you to a duel. The winner of this duel will receive all of the opponent's earnings for the day. Do you accept?]
【whether】
Just as the fans were lamenting that they wouldn't be able to see the expert compete against other learning streamers, they saw the mouse on the live stream screen and clicked the "Yes" button.
Then, another pop-up window appeared.
[You have accepted the PK invitation. Please prepare accordingly.]
Fans: ? ? ?
So it's not that the top players are aloof and refuse to PK, but rather that there's no benefit in it?
The witch Xiao Xiao, who issued the PK, was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, curling her lip in disdain.
She thought this chocolate mousse was some kind of genius, but it turned out to be just a greedy and mercenary person.
Xiao Xiao, the witch, started live streaming this summer. She hadn't watched Ying Zijin's live streams, but she saw in the comments that there was a master in the study section who was unmatched by anyone.
She had waited a long time, but Ying Zijing had never appeared even once. Today, she finally got to see him.
Just like in the gaming sector, two tigers cannot share one mountain; in one sector, there can only be one number one.
The witch Xiaoxiao wants to use this PK to step over Ying Zijin to rise to the top, and then gain a foothold on the Shark Live platform.
After PK was proposed, Shark Live platform directly issued the question.
The two people's live stream quickly switched to an electronic quiz interface.
Xiao Xiao, the witch, is good at chemistry, so she chose chemistry.
She streamed for three months and amassed three million followers, all of whom were supporting her.
[Go Xiaoxiao! You can definitely win!]
Our Xiaoxiao is so open and honest, unlike someone who claims to be number one on the overall rankings but doesn't provide any evidence. Ugh.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Witch Xiaoxiao smiled at the camera. "We should be polite and respect our seniors. I heard that our seniors are very powerful, and I proposed the PK because I want to learn from them."
As she spoke, she looked at the questions sent down by the Shark Live platform and prepared to start working on them.
The counter in the lower right corner shows that thirty seconds have passed.
The witch Xiaoxiao wasn't in a hurry. She was always quick at solving problems, so wasting a little time didn't matter.
So she read the questions aloud while interacting with her fans.
"This question is in organic chemistry, it's very simple," said the witch Xiaoxiao. "We should choose—"
But she couldn't finish her sentence because the quiz page suddenly disappeared.
Immediately, a gray box popped up with a crying face.
[Ding, the PK you requested has ended.]
You did not answer a single question, so you received zero points.
Get ten questions right on the chocolate mousse section and you'll get 100 points.
Your donations today, equivalent to 530,294 RMB in cash, will be transferred entirely to the recipient's account.
[...]
The live stream room fell into complete silence.
All the comments, whether praising or criticizing Ying Zijin, disappeared.
The witch Xiao Xiao could hardly believe it.
In just 40 seconds, this chocolate mousse finished the question?! Are you kidding me?!
These are chemistry problems that are taught in university chemistry programs, but she completed them at home through self-study.
Isn't the other person also a high school student? How could they possibly know university-level knowledge?
The witch does close-up live streams, allowing viewers to clearly see all her facial expressions.
His eyes widened, with a hint of ferocity.
Even with beauty filters on, the image of the beautiful female anchor has been ruined.
In just a few seconds, the live stream's popularity dropped by 10 million out of 50 million, and it's still dropping.
Even if Witch Xiaoxiao wanted to stop live streaming, she couldn't; she could only watch helplessly as her fan count dwindled.
She finally realized that this was not a competition at all, but a one-sided crushing defeat.
She couldn't rise to power by stepping on Ying Zijin; instead, she lost popularity.
The witch Xiaoxiao is now filled with regret.
**
Meanwhile, Ying Zijin was completely unaffected.
After she finished the competition, she continued explaining the questions and casually remarked, "If I win money today, I'll randomly select 100 viewers to receive a late-night snack later."
She thought the Shark Live platform had a great feature, as it made money very easily.
Ying Zijing's only regret was that she shouldn't have solved the problems so quickly, which scared the other streamers and made it impossible for anyone to challenge her.
[Waaaaah, you did it so fast, I didn't even see the question!]
[I've disliked that witch Xiaoxiao for a long time. From the beginning of her live streams, she's been constantly putting down the expert. The expert can talk about quantum mechanics, can she? Does she even deserve to?]
With the absence of trolls stirring up trouble, the fans listened to the live stream quietly.
Since it was the first time Ying Zijin had talked about the universe, she explained it in a very simple way, and her fans could understand it.
The hour and a half live stream passed quickly.
As Ying Zijing was about to log off, she remembered the promise she had made to her livestream viewers.
She took out her phone, opened the ISC quiz app, went to her personal information section, and put it under the camera.
And so, at that moment, all six million fans watching the live stream saw it.
Three lines of text were clearly written on the screen.
ID: Username has been hidden
Region: China
Points: 3680
After this page appeared, the live stream chat exploded.
In just over ten seconds, the popularity reached the highest level since the Shark platform was founded.
Thirty-four million eight hundred and seventy thousand!
