Chapter Ch51.2   - His fans couldn’t be wronged

When Yu Yan got the administrator’s message, he had just eaten some chicken butt.

Couldn’t help it, the opponents were an intact duo team with two level 3 helmets equipped, and they played very carefully. By the time he knocked one of them down, his health bar had already turned red.

In the barrage, Lu Xiuhe was still getting blamed for the loss. Lu Xiuhe kept agreeing and nodding, taking responsibility for everything, even boisterously chatting with the stream followers.

Yu Yan laughed. Just before the next match, he saw his private chat box flickering.

Administrator 03: The time limit of the notice was one week. magic

This sentence was seen by his stream followers, and the barrage immediately became noisy.

[I told you so bal! Time has passed, it’s not a bug, do those antis’ faces ache?]

[Next time I’ll see who still dares to say that my baby son is running cheat software!]

Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and decided to use the app to talk to the administrator.

yanxyan: Then what about the 200,000 popularity points?

Administrator 03: Yes. Our platform is in the process of rectification recently, aimed at cleaning up falsified numbers.

yanxyan: ?

yanxyan: My numbers were not falsified, it was a one-off vote from my fans yesterday. You can check it in the logs.

Those big anchors all had their own loyal fans, with the number one most popular LOL anchor even having fans who had invested millions in gifts. These were all normal operations and could never be called falsified numbers.

Administrator 03: We checked, and that account is a side account, and the ID is very similar to your own username. It’s a suspicious account.

Yu Yan was stunned. What the administrator meant was that they suspected it was his own side account?

Administrator 03: But we just temporarily dropped your popularity points for the competition. Your share of the gifts and the live room points will be preserved.

yanxyan: For what reason did you drop my competition popularity points?

yanxyan: Saying that this is my own side account, do you have any evidence? You’re deciding that I have falsified data just because the names are similar? I don’t accept this verdict. If you suspect it’s my own side account, you can check the IP addresses.

Administrator 03: IP can’t explain anything. What if someone else was helping you?

Yu Yan held his cellphone, and the anger in his heart burst out.

yanxyan: Either ways, I don’t accept this. I think it’s ridiculous for such a big live platform to create such a mess.

Administrator 03: Don’t get angry in a hurry, how’s this . I’ll direct your matter to my superiors to look at, but the competition numbers probably can’t be changed anymore… However, if it’s the system that has caused any problems, we will definitely compensate you accordingly.

Administrator 03: There will be a full livestream of the entire anchor gala at the end of this year. We can arrange more screen time and questions for you, which would be much better than this little Kills King of the Year award.

Although he didn’t know what the anchor gala was, Yu Yan didn’t even really think before replying.

yanxyan: I don’t care.

yanxyyan: My fans voted for me with real money just to get me to first place. For what reason did you just indiscriminately deduct their gifts? According to you guys, how many large gifts did big anchors—like banana—receive in his stream these past few days? Why didn’t you deduct his points? Besides, how can gift-giving be regarded as falsifying numbers? Only malicious tampering within the platform is called falsifying numbers.

yanxyan: This is an insider scheme! It’s black-box backdoor dealing!

yanxyan: Are you trying to seal my mouth with benefits? Little Anchor: There’s no livestream today, let’s play together next time .

: Didn’t you go to the Internet cafe?

Little Anchor: No, the Internet cafe is too expensive, I can’t afford to go.

Little Anchor: …Next time , okay?

Yi Chen laughed, and had just typed and sent an “okay” when a familiar voice sounded out near his ear.

“Stream mod keep watch, do a full-screen ban all night .”

As soon as he raised his eyebrows and looked around, he saw Yi Ran sitting behind him, holding his cellphone and paying close attention to a livestream.

The volume was low, so he turned around and asked with uncertainty, “What are you watching?”

Yi Ran raised his head and replied, “Watching Xiao Yan’s livestream . He fought fiercely today, has already eaten several chickens…”

Yi Chen frowned.

Didn’t he say he wasn’t livestreaming?

Yi Chen took out his cellphone and asked in an even tone, “Is that so? Why did he turn on the full screen ban?”

Yi Ran had already understood the situation from the barrage and replied hurriedly, “Oh, so it’s like this. He took part in an anchor competition, and then last night he received a gift of more than 200,000 yuan from a side account, which gave him hundreds of thousands of popularity points. Today, the points were somehow cancelled by the platform, and a pile of antis have now appeared, who are saying that his numbers are fake, and are even posting information about that side account, saying that he opened it… Stuff like that.”

“…”

“Then his fans and the antis started tearing into each other, and the barrage turned into such a complete mess that even I couldn’t watch it. So now he’s just implementing a full screen ban.”

Yi Ran realized that with every sentence he said, his Ge’s face sank a bit more.

“Isn’t it only 200,000 , aren’t these administrators getting too excited over such a small thing ?” Yi Ran said before he asked, “Ge… You didn’t know about this?”

After all, StarTV was one of their companies. With such a big thing happening, that little anchor actually didn’t come to find his Ge for help?

He knew shit all.

After a while, Yi Chen expressionlessly picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth. Then he got up and said in a cool voice, “I know now.”

He picked up his cellphone and saw the emoticon that the little anchor had just sent.

It was a little duck, smiling widely with an “OK” in its mouth.

However he looked at it, he found it irritating.
