Chapter 10: The Man Who Wants to Become the Pirate King

Exit the east gate of Jingming Community, cross the road and walk 50 meters south along the sidewalk, then turn right into Yangliu Lane, and walk straight to the end to find Master Chen's private kitchen.

Master Chen is from Huainan. He is not a top-grade or professional chef, but he cooks excellent Huaiyang cuisine. After retiring a few years ago, he and his wife came to Beijing to settle down in order to take care of his grandchildren.

Living in Beijing is not easy, and daily expenses are very high, so Master Chen rented an old house in Yangliu Lane to open a private kitchen, relying on his skills and conscience to attract business and earn a living.

The old alley is deep and shabby, with five or six wooden tables and dozens of dining chairs. When Lu Chen and Li Feiyu walked in, the room was basically full and there was no vacant seat at all - the business was too good!

Fortunately, Li Feiyu often came to patronize the restaurant. He called Master Chen's wife, who worked as a part-time waiter, "Auntie Auntie" affectionately, and coaxed her with sweet words, finally tricking her into an extra seat in the courtyard.

A student's desk plus two small plastic stools, and the one he had thought of was gone.

But both Li Feiyu and Lu Chen were very satisfied.

Master Chen's private kitchen is truly a model of good value for money. Many gourmets come to reserve seats before mealtime. If it weren't for Li Feiyu's eloquence, how could they have added seats!

Red-braised lion's head, three sets of duck, squirrel mandarin fish, boiled dried shredded silk, and two baskets of crab meat buns are all authentic Huaiyang dishes. Paired with four bottles of Yandu beer, Lu Chen, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, ate until he burst into tears.

After the plate was mostly empty and three bottles of beer were finished, Li Feiyu, who was full and satisfied, started talking.

It was still about live streaming.

Li Feiyu has been doing live streaming for more than a month. He even bought a dedicated high-quality microphone and high-definition camera, thinking that he could show off online and make some money.

He started live streaming on Whale TV as a game anchor, but he was not good at playing the three most popular online games on Whale TV - CKG, Hero City and Planet Overlord. After half a month, there were very few viewers and he didn't even make back the electricity bill.

Half a month ago, he switched to the Starlight Show. Instead of playing games, he played life shows, told jokes to people, and sang and acted ugly. He actually gained some popularity and earned 0.3T of Starlight.

0.3T is 30,000 star points, equivalent to 300 yuan, but according to the rules of the Starlight Show, "wild" anchors like Li Feiyu, that is, unsigned anchors, can only get 50% of the share.

Well, the electricity bill is recovered. It's better to move bricks for a day than to work hard for two weeks!

Speaking of his sad anchor career, Brother Xiaofei's bitterness is endless, and he can't stop, which makes Lu Chen shed a tear of sympathy.

"Xiao Lu, do you know?"

Li Feiyu took a big sip of beer and said, "Xiao Mei from our company earned more than 20,000 yuan and nearly 30,000 yuan in reward shares at the Starlight Show last month, which is five or six times more than the salary at the 4S store. She will not come to work next month!"

Lu Chen knew Xiao Mei. She was the receptionist at the 4S store where Li Feiyu worked. She had big eyes, a pointed face, a slender waist, and long legs. The most important thing was that she was 20 years old and had no boyfriend. She was the flower of the company and was undoubtedly pursued by many bees and butterflies, and there were many secret admirers!

The reason why Lu Chen knew so much was not because he knew the other party, but because he had heard about it from Li Feiyu many times.

Well, this guy is one of the members of Xiao Mei's secret admirer alliance!

"Is she very talented?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Li Feiyu explained: "She can't sing or dance, so she just live broadcasts putting on makeup, eating, acting cute, and chatting."

Lu Chen was speechless - is this possible?

"It really works!"

Li Feiyu cheered up and said: "Don't talk about acting cute and chatting. There are live broadcasts of sleeping, watching TV, cooking, and writing novels in the Starlight Show. There is nothing you can't think of!"

"Xiao Lu, with your talent and strength, you really have a bright future in the Starlight Show!"

He became serious and said: "The seven most popular stars in the Starlight Show now have a monthly income of at least 100,000. The most famous Yan Manni is said to have a contract price of more than 5 million, and she has also endorsed many advertisements. The attention she has received in the Starlight Show has reached 2 million. Can you imagine how much rewards she can earn normally?"

Lu Chen nodded involuntarily. He just borrowed Li Feiyu's account to play around, and it seems that he has earned a lot of rewards.

2 million+ fans are following the star, it's scary to think about it!

Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible for me to get to this point, but Xiao Lu is different. You sing well and you are handsome, and you can write your own songs. You really have the potential to become a big star in the Starlight Show!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just now you sang three songs. I saw that there were 2.8T in tips. If you withdraw cash immediately, you can get 1,400 yuan. Don't you think it's better than working at KFC or working part-time at a bar?"

Lu Chen was really moved!

His family owed a huge debt. If he only relied on part-time jobs, he probably wouldn't be able to pay it off in this lifetime, including his family.

Now he has a treasure house, but it is not easy to exchange this treasure house for real benefits. Just think about the harsh contract that Su Qingmei took out. For a little-known person like him, it is far from enough to have talent and talent to make it in this circle!

And the anchor platform like Starlight Show, which belongs to the grassroots stage, is undoubtedly a shortcut to make money!

Li Feiyu continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Xiao Lu, I don't plan to play anymore. I'll give you my Starlight account. You can modify the name and information. I'll also give you the anchor equipment. Anyway, it's useless."

Lu Chen was shocked and said quickly: "How can this be possible?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Feiyu stared and said: "This is called reasonable use of resources. I won't suffer any loss. I won't give you the reward share in the account. Otherwise, I won't sell it second-hand for this price!"

Although Li Feiyu said so, Lu Chen knew that even if the two pieces of equipment were sold at a discount, they would definitely not be able to get a thousand yuan, not to mention that the account was originally his.

"Brother Li."

"If we are brothers, stop talking nonsense!"

Li Feiyu waved his hand and said domineeringly: "It's decided! If you really miss your brother Li's kindness, then when you become a big star in the future, let me be your assistant to run errands!"

Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Li, you are drunk!"

"Nonsense!"

Li Feiyu said disdainfully: "Two bottles of Yan can make me drunk? Adding a zero is almost the same. Let's not talk about it. Let's go back and change the number and pay the bill!"

He paid the bill and then dragged Lu Chen to the rental house.

Back in the basement, Li Feiyu couldn't wait to turn on the computer and log in again.

He first withdrew all the 3T star points in his account, and then began to modify the information.

The Starlight Show host platform allows hosts to change their information, including the account nickname, security, bound mobile phone, and Yifubao information, etc., so it is very convenient to change it to Lu Chen's name.

Of course, few hosts will change their nicknames at will, which will affect their popularity. In addition, they have to send messages to notify fans who follow the star, so it will be more troublesome.

And Lu Chen played for the first time. He took over Li Feiyu's account without any loss, and also retained the popularity he earned in the morning.

"Xiao Lu, change your host's nickname first!"

Li Feiyu rubbed his hands and reminded: "It must be domineering and can overwhelm the whole audience!"

Lu Chen haha, he used the keyboard to enter his name "Lu Chen", and a prompt popped up immediately.

Nickname is occupied!

Lu Chen changed it to "Xiao Lu" again, but it was still occupied!

Li Feiyu laughed and said, "All the good names have been taken by dogs. I originally wanted to register Brother Xiaofei, but it was also taken."

Lu Chen thought about it and typed in the two words "Lu Fei".

To his surprise, this name was actually approved and showed that it could be used!

He pressed OK without thinking, and the change was successful!

"Lu Fei?"

Li Feiyu was surprised, and then became excited: "This name is good, good!"

Lu is Lu Chen's Lu, and Fei is Li Feiyu's Fei!

Although Li Feiyu didn't want to play the anchor show anymore, he still had a lot of feelings for this account and hoped that Lu Chen would carry it forward and become a shining star in the Starlight Show!

It was precisely because of this that he was excited and moved to see Lu Chen change his nickname to "Lu Fei".

He couldn't help but punch Lu Chen on the shoulder: "Good brother!"

Lu Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

He used this name as a nickname, in addition to the relationship with Li Feiyu, the most important reason was because of a sentence that just sounded in his mind.

"I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"

Really domineering!

After changing the nickname, this anchor account is completely owned by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen did not start live broadcasting again immediately, but first familiarized himself with the various operating functions in the live broadcast platform.

After logging into the anchor account, he naturally has all the permissions of the live broadcast room, such as basic settings, accompaniment, subtitles, kicking people, banning, blessings, leaving messages and other functions. With Li Feiyu's guidance, he naturally got started quickly.

Then Lu Chen sent a message to all the fans who followed the star group to inform them of the change of name.

Interestingly, there are hundreds of messages in his anchor mailbox, most of which were sent not long ago, all from the fans, such as greetings, praise, and requests for a phone number.

Then, in less than half a minute, new messages came back, all expressing congratulations and joy!

"Great, I'm finally no longer tortured by Xiao Fei's magic voice, flowers!"

"Lu Fei, I like this name, come on, handsome guy!"

"When will you start the live broadcast? I want to listen to you, my deskmate, 10,000 times!"

"Support you to the end!"

"..."

Lu Chen was very happy to see it, and it was more and more interesting.

Li Feiyu said: "Star fans can sign contracts if they exceed 10,000. The proportion of profit for the signed anchors varies according to their levels. According to your fan growth rate, you should be able to meet the minimum requirement with two more live broadcasts!"

Lu Chen nodded, and his eyes were flashing with the light from the screen.

As if the stars were shining!
