Chapter 344 (1/2)

Goddess of The Nation

On the next day, Zhao Youyue, also known as Ah Yu, was on the front pages of numerous magazines. Her face reveal was probably the most impactful in the history of live streaming. Such horrifying numbers!

A short live broadcast earning gifts worth more than 2,000,000 RMB.

Unbelievable!

Yet, it happened!

UC headline was “Shocking! Ah Yu broadcasted for two hours, and received gifts over 2,000,000 RMB, who was behind this”

This promoted news linked to a page that described this recent hotshot Zhao Youyue in a detailed manner.

The report reviewed Ah Yu’s broadcasting career from the beginning. She was a tepid broadcaster who slowly gained popularity, just like how she made it up to the top of national ranking number one in LoL.

Her career shot up a little when she voiced the character “Yu Shengfan.” Plus, with her different set of talents, she grabbed the title of the most popular female live streamer in ACGN. Still, there was a huge gap between her fame and the top broadcasters.

Circumstances changed rapidly the moment her identity was found out by her enthused fans, which left her no choice but to reveal herself. It was her beautiful angelic face that stunned the audience. Tycoons were mesmerized by her beauty, and dumped a huge load of money just to put a smile on her face.

Everybody thought the reason that she had kept her face hidden was because her appearance was plain and unattractive. The moment they realized the magnitude of their misconceptions, there was only joy and happiness in their hearts. She had been afraid that her beauty would only distract the audience from admiring her talents.

Of course, all these were merely audiences’ headcanon.

There was no other way to explain why Zhao Youyue had insisted on not showing her face, despite her beauty.

It was a bad era for the broadcasting industry, yet Ah Yu had managed to harvest millions in the form of gifts from tycoons. Her charm as a broadcaster was indeed powerful.

There was once a time when it was impossible to differentiate between fabricated popularity and authentic gifting. It was way back in the golden age of broadcasting, where any broadcaster could become and overnight millionaire. Media headlines and advertisements were all about broadcasters, and investors who willing to pay ridiculous prices to own a popular broadcaster.

After a long draught, Ah Yu ended the dry spell. Her Weibo followers broke through 5,000,000 right after she revealed her face!

The war of tycoons erupting around her stirred up the heat of her name in the Weibo search engine. The comments from netizens were as divided as they were.

“Another fabricated news? Why do I feel like we are back to couple years ago?”

“Douyu promoting a new face? Never heard of Ah Yu before.”

“I was there, and every penny spent was real! Boss Hao and Tian Shenluo are not marketing accounts.”
