Start broadcasting
For some reason, Li Mantao stared at his phone with a bit of anticipation. However, after looking at the message for a long time, no new message popped up.
His mood quickly turned gloomy. Li Mantao threw away his phone, squatted on a chair and picked at his neatly trimmed nails.
He scratched out several sharp thorns with his nails, the kind that could leave several marks on people when scratching.
When he had a quarrel with Rong Yi as a child, he would tease Rong Yi like this.
But now that the person was not in front of him, he had no reason to treat Rong Yi like this. He could only scratch a few white lines on his thighs, which was better than nothing.
After drawing a few crosses, Li Mantao sighed depressedly again.
He grabbed his phone, pondered for a few seconds, and started typing.
Do you still remember me? Why didn't you contact me...
No, the tone is too weird, delete it.
I'm Li Man, we played together when we were little...
Why is it like you're trying to claim to be a relative of someone you don't even know just because they became famous? No, delete it.
As long as you say sorry, I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye...
However, before I finished editing, a new message popped up in the dialog box.
Rong Yi: Can you talk to me? I have a lot to tell you.
Rong Yi: It won’t take up much of your time.
Li Mantao paused and deleted the words in the input box one by one.
Li Mantao: OK
Rong Yi: See you tomorrow at sunrise at 1:00 PM.
Sunrise is the name of the coffee shop where Li Mantao worked part-time before.
After agreeing on the time and place to meet, Li Mantao's thoughts began to wander again.
First of all, one thing is certain, Rong Yi should remember who he is.
Rong Yi asked him to chat, what did she want to talk about? What on earth had happened to Rong Yi in these years?
Li Mantao scratched his thigh with his nails a few times, feeling a little anxious.
While he was thinking, Kong Zhong pushed open the door with food in hand.
"What are you laughing at? Is there something good?" Kong Zhong put the food on Li Mantao's table and said casually, "I went back home and brought you some food."
After hearing Kong Zhong's words, Li Mantao looked up at the mirror on the table, and then he found that a smile had appeared on his face without him noticing.
He quickly pursed his lips and said, "No, you saw it wrong."
After finishing the meal, Kong Zhong also came out of the shower.
Kong Zhong put a towel on his head and wiped his hair a few times, then suddenly asked him: "Taotao, is the live broadcast you mentioned today?"
"Yes," Li Mantao glanced at the time and said, "It starts in half an hour."
Kong Zhong looked him up and down and asked disdainfully, "You're going to wear this for a live broadcast?"
"What's wrong with this outfit?" Li Mantao looked at his Talking Tom T-shirt. "Isn't this quite normal? Do you look down on us, the top cat stars?"
Kong Zhong's comment: "Diaosi."
Li Mantao: “?”
The loser said he was still Tom?
Kong Zhong sighed deeply as he looked at his roommate, who had clear yet silly eyes and still liked Tom Cat even at the age of twenty.
He opened Li Mantao's wardrobe and searched it up and down, but couldn't find a single presentable piece of clothing!
"Son, why don't you know how to clean yourself up?" He was heartbroken.
Li Mantao asked doubtfully, "Why shouldn't I clean myself up? I'm cute and clean!"
Kong Zhong picked up a T-shirt with a loose collar and said, "How can we tolerate something like this being left in the closet?"
Li Mantao grabbed the T-shirt and put it in his arms. "I'm used to wearing this shirt. It's so comfortable as pajamas. You don't understand."
Kong Zhong's eyes showed pity, as if he was watching his own child suffering but was foolishly happy in the midst of suffering. "Okay, stop talking. I'll take you clothes shopping tomorrow."
After picking and choosing, Kong Zhong finally picked out the simplest white shirt for Li Mantao to change into.
"A pure boy like him is bound to attract a lot of fans." He looked at Li Mantao, who had just changed his clothes, and felt that something was missing. He took out a pair of simple ear clips and put them on Li Mantao. "Pure but rebellious, not bad, it suits your personality."
Li Mantao: “…”
He had never hung anything messy on his ears before, so he felt a little uncomfortable when the ear clip was put on. He shook his head, but the ear clip was firmly attached to his ear and did not move at all.
Li Mantao couldn't help but touch it with his hand and said, "I'm not even going to turn on the camera, why bother with so much?"
Kong Zhong slapped Li Mantao's hand away and said, "Why not? Do you think it's too much money? Your brother's computer won't freeze."
"I just feel like it's weird." Li Mantao scratched his hand, which had red marks from being slapped. "I went there to livestream my painting."
Kong Zhong stretched out his index finger and shook it, looking like a senior expert. "Tao, your idea is not good. The live broadcast track is saturated now. Who would want to watch just paintings? But paintings plus handsome guys are different."
He pinched Li Mantao's face and said, "Everyone's life is so tiring, so they just want to see something happy. If you show your face, everyone will be happy, and money will come pouring in, right? Then when they say you're the one making the most money, all the first place will be yours!"
Kong Zhong spoke in an impassioned tone, and between his words one could almost hear the moving reminder sound of "One million yuan has arrived in Ji Hubao's account."
Li Mantao fell into deep thought. Live streaming, live streaming, he did it just to make money. What Kong Zhong said seemed to make sense.
"Then...then I'll start later?" After a round of deception, Li Mantao had already regarded Kong Zhong as a military advisor and unconsciously asked for his opinion.
Seeing that Li Mantao was persuaded, Kong Zhong smiled mysteriously and said, "No, not yet."
He dug out a camera from a drawer and instructed Li Mantao to install it on the computer. "It's a high-end product. It will definitely restore your beauty."
Li Mantao followed his instructions and made preparations step by step.
Kong Zhong's computer was countless times smoother than his second-hand one. When the live broadcast time was almost up, he made some final adjustments and clicked to start the live broadcast.
Five minutes into the live broadcast, a few dozen people came in sparsely.
The live broadcast screen did not lag, so Li Mantao breathed a sigh of relief and opened the painting software to start painting.
[Why is the anchor silent? It seems so boring]
[Isn’t this a live painting show? Why is the anchor I noted as having good looks?]
[I remembered, is this the anchor who was stuck in the PPT but still beautiful?]
[My popularity is so bad if I don’t show my face hhh]
Li Mantao saw the comments and said, "Thank you."
"My roommate loves to streak, so it's inconvenient to turn on the camera."
Kong Zhong, who was eavesdropping, asked: "?"
If you are allowed to play freely, you will be too free.
"Taotao, how could you just spread rumors!" Kong Zhong accused him, "How could a handsome guy run around naked? Do you think I can just casually show my beautiful body to others?"
[Hahahaha, the host and roommates are both so interesting]
[What a stinky fart hahaha]
[Host, why does your roommate call you Taotao? It sounds so cute.]
【Open a camera to see the strength】
"Taotao is so cute, I just love calling her Taotao." Kong Zhong leaned in front of the screen to read the comments and whispered, "Turn on the camera to see our strength? Turn it on, Taotao, turn on the camera and let them see the strength of our 303!"
After saying that, he winked at Li Mantao and mouthed, "Don't open it yet."
Li Mantao understood and began to perform.
"Get lost! Don't bother me while I'm painting." He pushed Kong Zhong away. "If you want to turn on the camera, go live it yourself."
Kong Zhong: "Taotao, you've changed. You didn't look like this when you asked me to borrow your computer."
[I was wondering why the image quality was so high this time, it turns out I borrowed my roommate's computer]
[Why don’t you turn on the camera after changing the computer? I strongly request that the camera be turned on! I can do anything as an anchor.]
[+1, you can start the broadcast, the above person can do everything]
【+10086】
The comments were so funny that Li Mantao was so amused after just a few strokes that he couldn't continue painting and simply stopped.
He thought about it, then said reluctantly, "I do live streaming to get the benefits of the platform, so how can I not draw?"
[Anchor, drawing and using the camera are not mutually exclusive. Let everyone see it.]
"That's right, I haven't seen it yet. Let me judge what level of beauty you have. If you're really beautiful, I'll make you a captain."
[The host turns on the camera and gives you a sky full of stars]
"Wow, there's a boss here who wants to give a reward to Man Tian Xing Chen." Kong Zhong monitored the barrage in real time and raised an eyebrow at Li Man Tao, "Open it quickly, Tao Tao, the boss is sending money. Your brother's computer won't freeze, so don't worry."
Li Mantao took a deep breath and wanted to fight for a few more rounds, but then he saw a familiar special effect pop up on the screen.
Someone gave him ten stars in the sky.
Li Mantao's pupils trembled. He didn't expect Kong Zhong's evil plan to be so effective.
He looked closely at the ID of the gift giver and found it familiar.
User 1231, isn’t this the boss who gave him a gift last time and caused his computer to crash?
[The stars are shining brightly for you! User 1231 has scattered stars all over the sky in the livestream of anchor Manmantao. Come and watch!]
Li Mantao held his breath and said softly, "Thank you user 1231 for using the ten stars in the sky. The boss is very generous."
One starry sky costs two thousand five hundred, and ten of them is... twenty-five thousand!
The platform takes a 50-50 commission, which is 12,500 yuan!
Li Mantao's heart was pounding, as if he saw red Chairman Mao flying in front of his eyes.
Before he could grab all the money into his arms, Kong Zhong next to him pushed him and said, "Taotao, the boss gave you so much money, it would be unreasonable not to turn on the camera."
Li Mantao coughed lightly, clearing his mind of fantasy. He looked at the skyrocketing popularity and barrage of comments and said, "Thank you very much, boss. Since you want to see it, I'll turn on the camera."
Just as I was about to turn on the camera, a comment with a cool border floated across the screen.
User 1231: If you feel uncomfortable, don't turn it on. Just make sure you're comfortable. Don't force yourself.
User 1231 is now number one in the live broadcast room. The top three reward rankings set by Guaji Guaji have different barrage boxes, which are luxurious and high-profile and can be seen at a glance.
Before Li Mantao could react, the other comments were already unhappy.
[It's not shameful to be so hesitant about turning on the camera. ]
[I've been waiting for a long time, just want to see whether the anchor is a human or a ghost]
[The top guy on the list is so funny. He thinks he's the boss before we even hook up.]
[Isn't the anchor just the plaything of the top guy? Hahaha, I've seen a lot of chickens, but ducks are still quite rare. The business development is very good.]
Li Mantao frowned and blocked the sarcastic comments.
"Unfriendly viewers are not welcome." His tone cooled. "Those who spread rumors will be banned. I didn't start a livestream for you to come and do whatever you want."
[Well done, these people have nothing but pornographic garbage in their heads.]
[The main package is so handsome, I don’t mean anything else, I just want to ask if you can curse a few more times///▽///]
[What kind of live broadcast is this? Is it a drawing? ]
[Another new marketing model, everyone can have fun watching it]
The comments were mixed. Kong Zhong asked Li Mantao for room management authority and began to noisily block people. "Don't tell me, it was quite fun being a room manager for the first time. These people typed for a long time, and then I blocked them. It pissed them off, hahaha."
[You dare to do it but won't let me say it? I'll just shout in the group and I'll blow up your livestream right away, believe it or not?]
