Chapter 72: This live broadcast is not like the others. (1/2)
After he got over the joy of being fated to meet Liang Liang again, Kang Shengzhe did not manage to usher in his ideal life which consisted of doing nothing but eating, sleeping and falling in love.
Not long after he arrived home, Wang Lu had reminded him several times on WeChat that he had to live broadcast tonight.
Having gained a huge amount of popularity from the broadcast he had with a celebrity, Kang Shengzhe’s name had exploded and it was currently the height of his popularity. For many new fans, it was the first time they were watching a live broadcast, and it goes without saying that countless of people were looking forward to and waiting for the live broadcast tonight.
Although Kang Shengzhe did not hold much enthusiasm for such matters, he was well-aware of the circumstances of every situation he was in; and matters regarding his live broadcasts were a responsibility, and he had to do them to the best of his ability.
Before he had left for his Beijing trip, Kang Shengzhe had told his real intentions to his parents.
Kang Shengzhe’s family was an ordinary one; his mother was a middle school language teacher; his father was a civil servant who worked in a small agency and their financial income could not be considered as well-off. However, his parents were very gentle and open-minded.
The five-million contract was a figure that Kang Shengzhe had tossed out arbitrarily and his parents were even more easy-going than him, even after hearing his explanation. For the family of three, wealth was like floating clouds, which was to say that they were neither pleased by external gains nor were they saddened by personal losses.
If bystanders were to look in, they would definitely think that this family was wonderful. But the truth of the matter was that Kang Shengzhe’s indolent and sluggish appearance as well as his slow character had originated from his family.
Think about it carefully: what kind of buddha nature would a mother have if her first question to her son after finding out he had delayed his college entrance examinations by a year because he had slept in was ‘what do you want to eat for lunch’? Therefore, it should come as no surprise that she managed to raise a lazy son like Kang Shengzhe.
After he finished reporting the happenings in Beijing, Kang Shengzhe returned to his room to rest. When the time struck half past seven, he punctually started his live broadcast. Kang Shengzhe had prepared himself a countless number of times for the liveliness of the broadcast, but when he went green today, the fans that had gathered was still unprecedented and magnificent.
It was only five minutes into his live broadcast when the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had soared to the millions and as the live broadcast progressed, the number of people joining per minute continued to climb.
Kang Shengzhe coughed lightly and began to speak: “Good evening everyone~”
As soon as his voice emerged, there was an immediate frenzy in the live broadcasting room. The fans were responding like mad but the comments in the barrage widely varied.
【AHHHHH KK good evening!!!】
【Attention everyone!! KK has appeared!! Everyone hide your fathers!! This K loves stealing fathers the most!! 】
【Hmm, what should I be doing, I’m a new fan and I don’t have any experience. Can someone tell me if I should be praising K now or should I praise him later, asking the seniors for advice!!!】
【Tugging on a handful of KK’s hair, if you don’t kiss me I won’t let go!】
【Wait, why aren’t you showing your face!! Where’s your camera!! Ahhhhhhh gods above please don’t tease a face fan like me】
Kang Shengzhe had live broadcasted as he usually would and he did not have the habit of revealing his face. Thus, many fans who had been drawn to his appearance basically wanted to sigh, wring their hands, and even slam a bowl against their heads and die.
【This must be the gods going against me.】
【WTF??? Why are you hiding when you have such a high face value!】
【An anchor who relies on his talent to eat is truly awful!】
【Please show your face QAQ, my screen is really dirty and it’s waiting for me to lick it.】
【I have nothing to say other than one line, turn on your camera!! If you have the ability, turn on your camera!!】
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes swept across the barrage of comments that were asking him to turn on his camera but he chose to turn a blind eye to them. The live broadcasting room was his home ground; unlike the Bai Yao broadcast where he had spoken very little because he was her accompaniment, he started to speak according to his own tempo. Very quickly, he smoothly utilised the advantage his voice brought and warmed up the atmosphere.
“Everyone don’t get me wrong; I have reasons for not wanting to turn on my camera. Look at me, I’m as lovely as flowers, if I were to reveal my face, you would only see my beauty and you would ignore my shining soul. Sigh, all of you have to understand, I’m doing this so that we can become friends with a spiritual connection~~~”
【Wait–??? Spiritual connection?? What position does having a spiritual connection have?】
【Yi…. I can’t accept this words.】
【Oh my god, hardcore NSFW anchor reported!】
【A familiar flirting behaviour, this is my K.】
【Haa?? You’re praising yourself to be as lovely as flowers? Is it really okay to steal your fan’s lines?】
【Why is the reason for not turning on his camera so powerful, I can’t even refute it…】
Kang Shengzhe chuckled and his fans’ response was exceedingly sharp.
【You’re not laughing with that facial expression again, right?】
【What a strong sense of déjà vu.】
Even though majority of his fans refused to let it go, Kang Shengzhe ignored them and shifted the topic towards the game. Regarding the entire issue of turning on his camera, it was not that it was something that was awkward to disclose. If that was truly the case, Kang Shengzhe would never have participated in the live broadcast that required him to reveal his face in Beijing.
The reason why he refused to turn it on was because he did not want to set a precedent; if he showed his face, it meant that he would probably have to reveal his face every day. And when it came to revealing faces, there were prerequisites he had to meet for live broadcasting like having to go out of his way to style his appearance and having to dress up every day… just the thought of it was giving Kang Shengzhe a headache.
Therefore, when it came to turning on his camera, no way, don’t even think about it.
“I’ve been busy on the road today, and I haven’t had the time to warm up during the day. What do you want to see? If you obediently listen to me, I’ll let you choose the hero for the first game~”
【Ah! This K is trying to change the topic! Do you really think I would listen… Okay, fine, I’ll listen!】
【If you’re asking us to pick, of course we’ll pick Zhong Kui!】
【Sitting and waiting for Zhong Kui, thank you.】
Previously, when Kang Shengzhe had played Zhong Kui, it was extremely distinctive in character and thus, everyone was very interested in the fluctuating standards of his Zhong Kui which was capable of both overturning its own car and counterattacking. Hence, millions of fans started commenting that their choice was Zhong Kui.
【Ahhhhhhh please brandish your Zhong Kui! Is it a mule or is a horse; use your actions to prove yourself instead of your words!】
Kang Shengzhe laughed: “Who just called my Zhong Kui a mule, my Zhong Kui is very skilled, alright? It has paid its respects to a master and it has been blessed, and it is unmatched in this universe! Who’s calling me a Zhong Kui black hole, where are the moderators? Moderator! Hold that person down!”
【Mother, I’m scared, I’m scared.】
【Did you see that! The black hole anchor is threatening others!】
