Chapter 43   - Achievement Unlocked

Yu Yan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Fortunately, 1 hadn’t seen the spectacle of him hugging the toilet and throwing up.

When he thought of this, he couldn’t help being stunned again.

… He actually wasn’t a person who paid special attention to his image, ?

If it wasn’t 1, then who had brought him to the hotel? And had even paid for everything.

Even after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no fruitful conclusions. He had also been kicked out of the class group chat, so he couldn’t ask them. He pondered for a bit before running to his Moments to make a rare post.

[Who sent me back to the hotel last night? Private message me, thank you!]

As he was returning home, he saw the several WeChat articles that 1 had sent. Inevitably, he had the illusion that he was talking with Yu Minyang.

He couldn’t resist and replied with several hahahahas.

: What are you laughing at?

Yu Yan: You sending me those articles; it just made me feel particularly disturbed.

: … I’ve read through all of them. All the methods are very useful. You can try them out if you feel uncomfortable.

He didn’t know why, but he just felt like 1 was replying much slower than usual. Maybe he had started to work .

Yu Yan replied with an “okay” just as the car suddenly stopped. The taxi driver turned around and said, “Here you are, young man.”

Yu Yan paid the fare, got out of the taxi, and then bought some hot and sour rice noodles before going upstairs.

The hotel’s food being expensive made sense, but the portion they served wasn’t enough, and the taste of the food wasn’t as good as these 12 yuan rice noodles from the store downstairs. magic

It was already 2:30 p.m. by the time he returned home. He turned on the computer but didn’t hurry to start streaming; instead, he opened his Weibo first.

His previous post of asking for leave had gained over 200 comments already. He ate his rice noodles, read the messages one by one, and picked out a few to reply to.

When it was 2:45 p.m, he tested his livestream equipment to make sure it worked, and was just about to start his stream when his QQ rang.

Tuantuan: Coming, little bro?

Yu Yan: … Coming.

Tuantuan: You only arrive when the livestream topics are blowing up on Weibo and Tieba. How much drama you’ve missed ya.

Yu Yan: Stuff about laoshu?

Tuantuan: How could he cause things to blow up with just his ability? There’s a new anchor named Hudy, have you heard of him ?

Yu Yan replied that he knew of him. This Hudy was also a new person who had joined through the anchor sponsorship program; he had average numbers. When they had first started streaming, in terms of popularity, he hadn’t even been able to catch up to Yu Yan, let alone laoshu who sent out red envelopes everyday.

Tuantuan: In fact, Hudy was a small anchor that Sheepy recruited and was specially nurtured to take part in this anchor competition. But this man, Sheepy , is relatively more upright and honest; he’s not dirty like banana. He let Hudy compete using his own ability . As a result, Hudy recently found some people to investigate several of the IP addresses of the antis who were hanging around his stream. He found out that they were all ranked star donors from laoshu’s livestream. As he continued the investigation, he excavated all of the dirty things that laoshu had done, and also found some of banana’s and a few other anchors’ secrets… Now, it has already become a battle between all the big StarTV anchors.

Sheepy was another popular PUBG anchor. Yu Yan glanced over Tuantuan’s words and understood the whole situation.

Yu Yan: Has the platform gotten involved?

Since even real names had been reported, the StarTV staff would definitely step in to deal with the situation.

Tuan Tuan: It’s only been a night; the platform doesn’t respond that quickly. The staff also probably couldn’t have imagined that these two things would suddenly tear into each other . When you livestream, remember to be careful. Before the platform releases a notice, don’t carelessly say anything to avoid being dragged into the issue.

Yu Yan replied with an “okay” and directly started his livestream.

It was very reasonable for Tuantuan to specifically contact him to warn him. As soon as his livestream started, the names of the other anchors floated into the barrage.

[laoshu has fallen la, laoshu has fallen la. This is to everyone’s satisfaction!!]

[I watched the entire incident last night, and I reasonably suspect that Xiao Yan was also one of the victims related to it!]

[Are you guys crazy? How is it related to this anchor? Not only that, the platform hasn’t even announced anything yet. Troubling this vacationing anchor to not piggyback off this situation to get popular, okay?]

[Hahahahaha vacationing anchor, I screamed. See, if you don’t diligently livestream, you’ll get called out by antis .]

“I’ve withered away.” Yu Yan laughed and launched PUBG. “I’m sorry that I’m late today, but there was an unavoidable reason for it. At 3:15 p.m, I’ll start to draw prizes. I’ll draw them in batches, five 100 yuan red envelopes during each batch. It’s a bit poor, hope you guys don’t mind.”

[What was the unavoidable reason?]

“I overslept,” Yu Yan replied honestly. As he thought about this, he glanced up to look at the person on the screen.

There were no signs of fatigue from a hangover, but his eyes were a bit swollen. His inner double eyelids had temporarily become monolids, making him seem less gentle and more imposing than usual.

It was not like yesterday—where his eyes had been half narrowed, his cheeks and ears both red, and his whole appearance just looked too soft to be aggressive.

Many of the female viewers couldn’t help spamming him with gifts. Yi Chen looked at the gifter list in the lower left corner of the screen, gently rubbed his index finger against the file he was holding for a while, and then finally withdrew his gaze from the screen.

Yu Yan punched the person who had been knocked down to death, and quickly threw a glance at the barrage before asking, “No one went all in with their beans?”

“No one believes in me?”

“Believe, I believe!” A voice rang out from the livestream chat. “I believe in you, Xiao Yan. I went all in for the five kills bet. Go !”

Yi Ran couldn’t help but make an uproar when he entered the livestream.

Since 1 had also spoken in the livestream chat previously, no one was surprised by this situation.

“You actually went all in?” Yu Yan was stunned. “Man, I was just joking.”

“I really went all in. I bet all of the 20,000 beans I’ve saved this month.” Yi Ran wanted to cotton up to Yu Yan. This way, it’d be easier to interrogate him later without needing to cover up anything. “You’re my male god; I’ll definitely believe in you.”

Yu Yan replied, “… I’ll try my best.”

Because no guns had spawned in this match, many players had already directly quit the match. After he killed two people, the entire boxing gym was empty. There were also only 31 people left in the game.

At this moment, the quiz game’s bet bar at the bottom of the screen suddenly changed——

[Can get 5 kills] originally had only 30,000 starlight beans. This was an entire 4 million beans less than the [Can’t get 5 kills] side.

But in a flash, the bar dramatically surged and the [Can get 5 kills] directly became 5.7 million beans.

[???]

[Which boss placed such a heavy bet? Holy fuck.]

[Someone bet over 5 million beans at once?? I’ve been on StarTV for so long but I haven’t seen anyone who had so many beans. You can’t buy beans, so how many years would you have to save to reach that amount ?]

[Could it be Boss 1? I heard that the system will give you a lot of starlight beans when you become a guardian tier gifter on the platform.]

[Holy shit. I’m going to follow this mysterious boss. He’s trying to make a fucking name for himself!]

Yu Yan ran out of crossbow bolts, so he used a machete to fight his enemies for a while. At last, he won the battle just as he was on his last sliver of health. He laid flat on the grass as he looted and casually glanced at the barrage.

As soon as he looked, he became shocked. “… Was this you guys?”

[Not us! It was Boss 1!!]

[It seems that a mysterious boss directly smashed in 5 million beans…]

Yu Yan quickly turned on his cellphone.

Yu Yan: Did you bet all those beans?

: I’m at work.

Those words were an implicit denial.

Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that there was probably a bug in the livestream. 5 million beans , you could play a lot of quiz games with that. Besides, his livestream’s level was low, so his quiz game’s return rate wasn’t high. No one would be willing to bet so much here.

With this in mind, his heart slightly calmed down. He went back to the game and continued killing enemies.

Ten minutes later, he smashed the fifth enemy’s head with a frying pan, successfully killing five people.

He laughed and said, “I told you, you guys should’ve believed in me—”

Before he finished speaking, a transparent livestream announcement floated overhead.

[New Achievement Unlocked Announcement—— Congratulations to “1” for throwing 5.2 million starlight beans to participate in yanxyan’s livestream’s quiz game and winning. Successfully unlocked the mystery livestream achievement: “Risk everything in a single throw!”]

Yu Yan: “…”

Yi Chen: “…”

Sooner or later, this livestream platform’s trash system will be finished.
