Chapter 101: Fast-Forward to the Random Challenge!

But this conversation also made Jiang Yun realize something.

He was no longer the little streamer he used to be. Now, when he went live, his room usually had three to four hundred thousand viewers, and on good days even more than five hundred thousand.

At a scale like that, if someone in the room tried to steer the audience the way that girl had, subtly nudging them to turn on someone online, the target would be driven to the brink of madness in no time.

So from now on, guest calls could not be done that often anymore.

He could keep the segment around to fill time, but it absolutely could not be his main attraction.

Otherwise, sooner or later something would happen that even Jiang Yun could no longer control.

And if someone ever said something outrageously antisocial, his streaming career might end on the spot.

But if he stopped taking guest calls, what was he supposed to stream instead?

He liked padding out his streams, sure, but there had to be at least a little entertainment each day. If it was nothing but idle time-filling, his room would be empty in a few days.

And once there was no audience, the system rewards he could earn would shrink as well.

Right now, the rewards were all at the ten-million level. If he went back to the old million-level prizes, that would feel a little uncomfortable.

Most of all, Jiang Yun felt that the ten-million-level rewards were more likely to produce rare items.

Things like master skill cards and the like were not something he could simply buy, no matter how much money he had.

After thinking it over for a long time, Jiang Yun decided to post a short video and throw the question to his fans.

“Guys, for some reason I won’t be doing as many guest calls on stream from now on. Help me think of some content for filling time... uh, no, I mean, some content with actual entertainment value.”

The video was very simple, but it was about streaming, and most of Jiang Yun’s followers were stream fans. Not long after he posted it, a flood of replies came in from netizens.

“Isn’t that easy? Just go live outdoors! With your kind of luck, Brother Yun, you don’t even need to prepare content. There’s always something happening wherever you go!”

“Why not stream a game of League of Legends? Douyin hasn’t opened that permission yet, but I want to see you play. Let’s test the platform’s limits.”

“Just skip straight to random challenges!”

“Hey, above me, do you think this is that other little video site?”

“If you really have nothing to do, just stream giving money away. I love watching that.”

“Huh? No more guest calls? Don’t do that! I’ve prepared a whole act for ages, and I still never got through!”

“....”

Most of the viewers did not offer very good suggestions. After all, they were ordinary netizens, not professional video creators. It was unlikely they could come up with anything truly useful.

Quite a few were also disappointed that they still had not managed to get through on a guest call.

Jiang Yun looked through the comments but failed to find anything reliable.

“Maybe I should try being a creator on that other video site? Do a random challenge myself?”

Jiang Yun muttered to himself.

Random challenge videos on that site had nearly become a running joke.

At first, when they had just appeared, everyone liked them and they were popular, so plenty of creators made similar videos.

But after too many of them, the taste changed.

Especially during that period when quite a few creators on the site ran into trouble, they would first apologize, then reflect on their mistakes, and afterward collaborate with several other creators to film a random challenge episode that conveniently buried the whole incident, pretending nothing had happened.

So whenever a creator from that site got into trouble, many netizens loved to tease them in the comments.

“Just skip straight to the random challenge!”

........

Since he had decided to make a random-challenge stream, Jiang Yun spent most of that night browsing related videos. By the time he got up the next morning, it was already past ten.

He was truly late this time.........

After a quick wash, Jiang Yun put on his clothes, took the new car keys the system had rewarded him with yesterday, and headed out while turning on the stream.

As expected, the instant the livestream opened, the barrage filled with apologies.

“Late today, aren’t you? Apologize!”

“You left early yesterday and showed up late today. Still not apologizing?!”

“You finally got caught being late once, huh? Apologize!”

“I’ve been scrolling Douyin for more than two hours, and you’re only just starting the stream. Hurry up and apologize!”

“........”

Faced with a screen full of apology messages, Jiang Yun still used the most primitive and straightforward method.

He dropped a lucky bag.

The lucky bag appeared, and the apologies instantly vanished.

By the time Jiang Yun reached the underground parking garage, no one in the stream was telling him to apologize anymore.

At that point, Jiang Yun said, “Guys, today we’re doing an outdoor stream and making a random challenge episode.”

As he spoke, he walked over to his new car.

“Damn, so he really became a creator on that little video site?”

“Wait, is that a McLaren? Brother Yun got a new car again?”

“Such a nice new car, and yet it would be such a pity not to let Brother Dailao San drive it once.”

“McLaren: Stay the hell away from me, Dailao San!”

“Come to think of it, Brother Yun really does buy new cars fast. I wonder how long this one will last in his hands.”

“..........”

Amid the audience’s teasing, Jiang Yun started the car and flashed a smile at the camera.

“Let’s go, brothers. I’ll take you to the place where the dream began... Chunxi Road!”

Hearing that familiar name, many viewers in the stream smiled.

“Back to Chunxi Road? Let me see what’s going on!”

“Chunxi Road, huh. Brother Yun has quite a few memes tied to that street.”

“Not bad. Nothing’s even been decided yet, and I’m already looking forward to it.”

“Damn, is this what Brother Yun’s charm is? Just a name is enough to get people excited.”

“........”

Anyone who knew Jiang Yun even a little knew about his history with Chunxi Road.

The female police officer being made to gag on bread happened there. His Audi getting wrecked by a WM Motor car happened there. His Ferrari ending up in the repair shop also happened there.

Just like Daxiaomei seemed to be cursed whenever Jiang Yun drove, Jiang Yun himself seemed to be cursed by Chunxi Road.

Now that he was taking the initiative to go there, it was hard for viewers not to feel the same anticipation as watching Daxiaomei drive in front of Jiang Yun.

Nothing had happened yet, but it felt as though anything could happen.

That sense of anticipation was simply outrageous.

At that moment, Jiang Yun once again addressed the viewers in his stream.

“Today’s content is very simple. I’ll randomly pick five to ten people and have them draw one challenge I’ve prepared in advance. As long as they complete it, I’ll reward them with ten thousand yuan.”

Hearing there was money involved, many people in the stream immediately brightened up.

“Money? I’m going to Chunxi Road right now?!”

“Ten thousand yuan, here I come!”

“I couldn’t get through on a guest call, but maybe I can run into him by chance!”

“Brother Yun, wait for me on Chunxi Road. I’m taking leave right now!”

“No one is allowed to touch my ten thousand yuan!”

“...........”
