Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 2061 The Horrifying Bill, Elite Top Scholar!

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were chattering away.

Fang Yun, on the other hand, has already started the lottery for 25 top-tier fruits.

Taking out a phone every minute is quite a tight schedule, but fortunately, today's competition is over, and he can now slow down and finish all the things he couldn't manage during the competition.

Time flew by as one fruit lottery after another was played.

25 minute later.

As the last fruit was drawn.

Fang Yun glanced at Su Jiu, who was busy verifying the list of winners, and then his gaze fell back on the noisy live stream chat.

"Damn it, they sent out 25 fruits in a row, and I didn't get a single one?!"

"Aaaaaah, I can't accept this! Missing one or two is one thing, but to miss 25 in a row? Am I some kind of reincarnation of bad luck?"

"You're overthinking it. You're not the only one who didn't win."

"Holy crap! Holy crap! I won! I won the lottery?!"

"Not upstairs... what the hell?!"

"He actually won! I just checked the prize list, and he's the 17th winner, damn it!"

"A hallucination! It's all a hallucination! There's no way anyone could win the lottery, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Well, another one's gone mad..."

Fang Yun's feat of drawing 25 fruits in half an hour brought the live stream's popularity to its peak since the start of the day.

Peak popularity means that not only has everyone's chance of winning become lower.

At the same time, if someone keeps failing to win the lottery, they will inevitably have a mental breakdown.

Fortunately, this was within Fang Yun's expectations.

"Alright, all 25 phones have been distributed. But don't worry, everyone. The streamer said that he will be streaming until at least 10 p.m. tonight. Before he goes offline, he will continue to distribute phones to everyone at regular intervals, following the rule of distributing a top-of-the-line phone every half hour."

Clearing his throat, Fang Yun turned on the microphone and started chatting with the viewers in the live stream.

But upon hearing this, the crowd didn't feel excited; instead, they were all on the verge of tears.

"I couldn't get a single fruit even after 25 draws in half an hour. What's the difference between getting one fruit in the next half hour and a carrot hanging over a donkey's head?"

"There's a difference! If a donkey knows how to use its strength, it might have a slight chance of getting a carrot, but you, my friend, will never win a phone in Brother Cheng's live stream in your entire life!"

"Holy crap, you upstairs...!"

"That's enough already. By the way, have you guys done the math? So far, including the phones we won this morning, how many phones has Brother Cheng given us?"

"Four in the morning, then 25 in the first half of the afternoon competition, and another 45 in the second half, plus the 10 from the regular half-hour giveaway event, so up to now, Brother Cheng has given out a total of... 84 fruits."

"What the hell?!"

"Wori?!"

"Duo... Duo Shao? You mean Duo Shao?!"

"84 top-of-the-line iPhones? 7000 yuan each, how much the hell does that cost?!"

"Over 58. If we include the regular lucky draws afterwards, Brother Cheng will have given away at least 60 yuan worth of phones today alone..."

"Uh... are you sure you meant RMB?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't even have that many Dream Coins in my pocket, this is simply outrageous!"

"I'm impressed, completely impressed! Giving away a top-of-the-line iPhone worth 60 yuan in a single live stream—I say there's no one like him before or since. Anyone disagree?"

"This is absolutely unique! It's never happened before, and it'll be very difficult to find it again!"

When Fang Yun first spoke, many people were complaining that they had followed the live stream all day but hadn't won a single prize.

But soon.

Some curious viewers calculated the exact amount of phones he had given away since the start of the show today.

The moment the numbers were released.

Even the most vocal haters fell silent.

84 top-of-the-line iPhones and nearly 60 yuan in cash.

This isn't a live stream at all, it's practically a disguised way of giving away tons of freebies!

This is the kind of livestreamer who throws away 60 yuan worth of mobile phones at the drop of a hat.

As the audience said, it is truly unprecedented and will never be repeated!
They even had doubts.

After this live stream ended.

It's unlikely that Fang Yun will ever be able to break this outrageous record he set again when he starts broadcasting again!
"Hey, I suddenly have an idea!"

"Tell me?"

"Since Brother Cheng is willing to spend 60 yuan, why does he insist on starting with the top-of-the-line iPhone? If he had chosen a cheaper one, like a basic Samsung, wouldn't there have been even more people winning the lottery?"

"You have plenty of clever ideas, but unfortunately you understand neither Brother Cheng nor live streaming."

"Live streams are all about creating hype! Would you be more interested in a live stream giving away a top-of-the-line Apple product or a basic Samsung phone?"

"That must be fruit! San Sang is a total bastard!"

"Yeah, right! Besides, it's Brother Cheng doing the giveaway. Do you think someone with Brother Cheng's influence would give away some cheap, basic phone to his fans?"

"Well, it seems I underestimated things..."

After a while.

As everyone gradually recovered from the shocking data of 60 and 84 top-of-the-line iPhones.

Suddenly, a clever little devil jumped out and suggested that Fang Yun should start giving away basic mobile phones in the future. This way, more phones could be given away, and the winning rate for viewers in the live stream would also increase significantly.

Unfortunately, his suggestion was immediately drowned out by ridicule.

Just as those viewers said.

When creating entertainment value through live streaming, the worst thing you can do is try to play the cost-effectiveness game.

Especially for established and wealthy streamers like Fang Yun.

If you let him do a live stream and give away basic mobile phones, most viewers probably wouldn't have any objections.

But whether it's a gimmick or its own strength.

None of them would allow him to actually do that.

Watching the live stream room gradually return to its lively state.

Fang Yun, who had already claimed his treasure chest and left the arena, stretched and was about to say goodbye to Cang Hai Wei Shui and the others when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the five of us had a great time cooperating today. Now that the competition is over, I'm planning to give you all a little gift."

talking.

He first asked the four people to send him their addresses, then told Su Jiu to remember them, and continued, "The gifts aren't expensive, just a Apple mobile phone for each of you. I hope you like them."

"???"

"What the heck is that?!"

"Holy crap! This actually works?"

"Following Brother Cheng to win a championship isn't enough, but you even get a bonus at the end? This is outrageous!"

"I can't take it anymore, the more I watch, the more I can't stand it, Cheng Ge's live stream is simply a paradise for lucky people!"

"To be honest, I'm pretty unlucky when it comes to lotteries, but today I won for the first time in Brother Cheng's live stream, so it's more like a paradise for the unlucky than a paradise for the lucky."

"The thing is, these four guys practically won without lifting a finger the whole time, and they even got prizes! It's infuriating!"

"You don't know anything! Brother Cheng has always been like this. As long as you are lucky enough to team up with him, you will always get a gift in the end. It's a basic rule."

"Fine, fine, I'll go to the snow mountain right now to buy an account! I refuse to believe that if others can hitch a ride on Brother Cheng's interstellar train, why can't I?"

"You're a bit too late. The premium on Snow Mountain tickets is already quite high..."

Fang Yun said that there would even be separate gifts for the four teammates who competed with him today.

The viewers in the live stream, who had just calmed down, immediately became agitated again!

Anyone with eyes can see that.

The reason why Fang Yun's team won the competition from beginning to end today.

The combined effect of those four people was not even as great as that of the double-special Thunderbird from the Undefeated Fangcun.

Although it may be impolite to say it that way.

But that's the truth. Today's championship was won by Fang Yun alone, dragging four legs along forcibly.

But they all somehow managed to win the championship without even lifting a finger.

In the end, there were even extra prizes to be won.

How could viewers who spent the whole day trying to snag a phone in the live stream not feel envious and jealous?
Fortunately.

Although many people are now green with envy.

Aside from making a few complaints, no one thought Fang Yun's actions were inappropriate.

Very simple.

Fang Yun's broadcast schedule is unpredictable.

But every time he goes on air, he always manages to produce a whole host of dazzling and captivating programs.

The key is.

Every time he goes live, his shows are not only full of gimmicks, but almost every program is also closely related to the viewers in the live broadcast room.

If they start criticizing today because the four members of Canghaiweishui won an afternoon without lifting a finger and even received prizes.

So, if Fang Yun does another live stream and pulls a stunt, and he gets selected, he might stop the extra perk because he's worried about getting flamed.

Wouldn't that be a case of losing the big picture for the small?

and so.

Even for their own sake, these viewers know they can't go too far; a few words of criticism are enough.

"This... isn't this inappropriate, Brother Cheng? After all, we basically just lay around all afternoon and didn't do much physical work..."

Viewers in the live stream felt that the few "easy wins" players from the "Canghaiweishui" live stream didn't deserve to receive the award.

And that's exactly what they think too.

To be honest, I was very happy to team up with Fang Yun today to compete and even win the championship.

They are actually quite content.

Now, the other party is even planning to give each of them a gift.

Upon learning of this, the four of them surprisingly shared the same thought: they felt unworthy of the honor!
"You have to take it, that's the rule."

The four of them unanimously chose to refuse.

Fang Yun raised an eyebrow and unconsciously emphasized his words.

Of course, in reality, his so-called rules are entirely his own opinion.

He says it exists, and he says it doesn't; he says it doesn't exist, and he doesn't exist.

But right now he has to give away these four phones, not for any other reason than to be able to mobilize more players to join in when he needs the audience's cooperation when he goes live again in the future.

Like I said before, he's serious about creating entertaining content for the show.

"Uh……"

"This one……"

"Alright, if Brother Cheng tells us to take it, then let's take it!"

"Yeah, Brother Cheng still has a live stream to do later, so let's not waste time here."

Seeing that Fang Yun was even bringing up 'rules' in order to get them to accept the gifts.

Although they didn't know exactly what this so-called rule was.

But there was one thing they were very clear about—

If we continue to refuse, the situation will definitely become awkward, which will be detrimental to the other party's live streaming.

Therefore.

The four quickly reached a consensus and happily accepted the unexpected gift.

"Good heavens, I spent a whole day watching the live stream and still couldn't snag any, but these four guys, when offered fruit on the spot, their first reaction was to refuse?"

"This shows that he is a person of principle. He knows that winning a championship is already a huge achievement, and asking for a cell phone would be a bit excessive."

"Okay, these teammates may not be very good, but they are quite considerate. I'll give them face and stop complaining."

"Can someone knock me out and let me sleep until next month's tournament week? I want to be Cheng-ge's teammate, and I want an Apple phone too!"

"Aren't you afraid you'll never wake up again after sleeping like that..."

The initial refusal of the group, who were like the sea, greatly changed everyone's impression of them.

In reality, many viewers in the live stream are seasoned veterans; they can tell at a glance whether you're being sincere or just saying one thing.

The attitude of Canghaiweishui and the others clearly indicated that they genuinely refused, which can be seen from their behavior after they hitched a ride with Fang Yun.

Their skills are indeed just average, but they are all honest people.

soon.

Sujiu noted down the addresses of the four people and prepared to arrange delivery.

Fang Yun finally disbanded the team he had been working on all afternoon and went off to collect his own competition rewards.

"Here it comes! We've worked so hard all afternoon, isn't this the moment we've been waiting for?"

"Snow Mountain Elite Group, your emperor has arrived!"

"By the way, does anyone know what the rewards are for the top-scoring student in the elite competition?"

"Tell the truth? Telling the truth is... it's really bad!"

"Really? That's the top scholar in the imperial examination! Even the most outstanding top scholar wouldn't be this bad, would he?"

"You'll find out soon enough whether you believe it or not..."

Watching Xue Shan Bubai Fangcun run towards the host of the martial arts tournament.

The viewers in the live stream got excited and started chatting amongst themselves.

soon.

When the invincible Fangcun arrived in front of the tournament host.

He quickly opened the chat, scrolled to the option "I'm here to claim my tournament reward," and decisively clicked it.

"Thanks to the bravery of your team, you have gained 494040 experience points."

"Congratulations on winning the title of Elite Champion in the Heroes' Gathering!"

"You have received a level 60 crafting guide."

As Fang Yun clicked the mouse, three prompts immediately popped up on the screen, and then... nothing happened.

"???"

"That's it? It's gone?"

"What else do you want? 150 books and iron?"

"No way... Aside from the title of top scholar, the other three rewards are just rubbish!"

"I told you long ago that the top scorer's reward was meager, do you believe me now?"

"Damn, I've suddenly lost all my mystique about the so-called top scorer!"

"That just means you don't have the ability to be the top pick. The rewards for the regular season of the Martial God Altar are also quite meager. Does that stop big shots from spending millions or tens of millions of yuan to compete for the championship?"

“That’s right. At Cheng Ge’s level, the so-called rewards are just icing on the cake. What they’re fighting for is the championship title, and they don’t care how much money they spend on it.”

"Stop with the nonsense, let's take a stroll around, Cheng-ge, and let the brothers witness the brilliance of the newly crowned top scorer!"

"Run! Run! Dude, get ready to take a screenshot!..."

Fang Yun received all the top scholar rewards in one go.

Some viewers who knew nothing about this part of the reward immediately couldn't help but complain.

But as another group of viewers said.

Those who truly have the ability to compete for the championship, whether it's the champion of the district's elite group or the champion of the Martial God Altar, are the ones who truly deserve it.

These players aren't here for the rewards, but for the sense of accomplishment!
