Chapter 9: Starlight Debut

A table, a computer, a camera and a microphone.

Lu Chen's first live show on the [Starlight Show] anchor platform started simply like this.

He played and sang "Blue Crystal" into the microphone.

"Blue Crystal" is a classic that many people were familiar with a few years ago. The lyrics are catchy and the beautiful melody makes it the most requested song in KTV boxes.

Lu Chen had sung it many times with guitar before, and the music score and lyrics were already memorized.

And now Lu Chen's singing and playing skills, after experiencing the long dream that night, he is like the legendary boy who fell off a cliff and got an adventure. He has been reborn and his magical skills have been perfected. It is a piece of cake to deal with such a scene.

"Tomorrow I will go far away and embark on a journey from which I will never return."

"Do you still remember the blue crystal I gave you?"

"Your real name is engraved on it"

As Lu Chen's clear, clean and slightly sad voice rang out, the barrage on the screen decreased a lot.

But this situation only lasted for a moment.

"It sounds good!"

"Blue Crystal? My favorite song, ah, ah, ah, ah~"

"Xiao Lu plays the guitar really well, I really want to be his disciple and ask for the secrets!"

"I am so moved. He can make a living by his face, but he insists on relying on his strength. I am so PFS!"

"It's over, it's over. After listening to the handsome guy playing and singing, how can I face Fei Ge's ugly face and broken voice in the future?"

"..."

System prompt: The New Yorker (Silver IV) gives the anchor 100 stars!

System prompt: The New Yorker (Silver IV) gives the anchor 100 Starlight!

System prompt: ...

The New Yorker started to slash and swipe the screen crazily again, and in the blink of an eye, he gave out another 10,000 Starlight points!

Once again, he easily covered several scattered rewards.

Lu Chen finished singing calmly, and then said to the microphone: "Thank you for the support of New Yorker friends!"

He now has a basic understanding of the rules of online live broadcasting. To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference from singing on the stage of a bar, but the world of the Internet is vast and boundless. The number of fans and listeners in the [Starlight Show] is obviously incomparable to the customers in the Forget-Me-Not Bar.

At the end of the song, Lu Chen noticed that the anchor "Little Fei Ge ABC"'s attention increased to 1623, and the popularity soared to 548, which has increased significantly, indicating that his singing can attract and retain people!

This made him feel a little more proud. He coughed twice and said, "Please listen, flying pigeons."

For the second song, Lu Chen still chose "Flying Pigeons".

Compared with the previous song "Blue Crystal", Lu Chen had a better grasp of "Flying Pigeons". Although the latter was much more difficult to play and sing than "Blue Crystal", it gave him a chance to show off his skills.

Little finger slide and quickly change hand shape, continuous hit hook, plus a large span of finger picking in the middle, as for the chords, let alone, he also added casual fancy to the original music score.

Li Feiyu, who was sitting next to him, was dazzled and dumbfounded!

He had heard Lu Chen sing and watched Lu Chen play, but never had he felt so shocked. It felt like Lu Chen had changed into a different person. He used to be an amateur, but now he was a professional performer.

The difference between heaven and earth!

On the computer screen, there were a lot of comments. Although the popularity was only over 500, the momentum of the screen and the shining stars were as enthusiastic as those popular anchors.

"Oh oh~"

"Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!"

"66666666666666666~"

"Brother Xiaofei, I love you!"

"Hahaha, you're new here, right? This isn't Brother Xiaofei, it's Xiaolu, Xiaolu, Xiaolu, repeat it three times!"

"Huh? Did I miss something?"

"..."

Li Feiyu was speechless.

When he was live streaming before, the online popularity exceeded 1500, which was nearly three times that of now, but the number of comments was at least ten times different. As for the rewards...

Why is the gap between people so big?

"Little Fei Ge ABC" was crying silently in his heart - this is really an era where appearance matters!

Lu Chen didn't have so many thoughts. He played and sang "Flying Dove" seriously.

He also felt very satisfied.

System prompt: The New Yorker (Silver IV) gave the host 100 Starlights!

System prompt: The New Yorker (Silver IV) gave the host 100 Starlights!

System prompt: ...

System prompt: Emperor Li Bai (Gold II) gave the host a starry sky battleship!

Originally, "The New Yorker" was brushing the starlight and slashing the screen, but the starry sky battleship sent by "Emperor Li Bai" who suddenly appeared rushed into the screen with an unparalleled momentum, crushing thousands of starlights with overwhelming force, and became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Ah~"

Li Feiyu jumped up in shock and stammered, "Battleship! Battleship!"

Lu Chen didn't understand at first, but he understood when he saw the new barrage.

"Starry Sky Battleship!"

"Really. Rich people are unparalleled!"

"Which GG can tell me what kind of prop is the Starry Sky Battleship?"

"Starry Sky Battleship is equivalent to 100,000/1T Starlight, which is 1,000 yuan. Rich people, please help me!"

"Husband! Husband! Husband! Husband! Husband!"

"..."

Lu Chen was speechless.

In the [Starlight Show], 100 Starlight is equivalent to 1 yuan. The 100 Stars Strike that "New Yorker" had previously swiped was a reward of 100 yuan. He just thought that the other party was rich and willful, but now his worldview was immediately refreshed by "Prophet Li Bai".

1,000 yuan reward!

After giving away the starry sky battleship, "Prophet Li Bai" simply typed three words: Good singing.

So cool!

Lu Chen came to his senses and said quickly: "Thank you for the reward from Prophet Li Bai and New Yorker friends. Thank you everyone. I will give you another original song called "My Deskmate". I hope you like it!"

Originally, he was going to end the song after singing two songs. His stomach was already protesting.

But now that "Prophet Li Bai" gave away the starry sky battleship, he was too embarrassed to leave.

"Original? Xiao Lu can write his own songs?"

"666666666666666666~"

"The same one?"

"Fuck you, it should be you, my deskmate. Is there glue in your ears?"

"My deskmate is a gay!"

"…"

Lu Chen looked at the comments and was extremely happy.

It was really interesting! Completely different from the atmosphere in the bar, the level of interaction was very high.

At this time, he noticed that the popularity displayed on the top of the screen had actually increased geometrically, from more than 500 to 1400+, and it was still increasing.

On the contrary, the number of star fans did not change much, at least not so amazingly.

Later, Lu Chen realized that this was the so-called "tycoon effect", that is, after the tycoons rewarded heavy props, the website would display a red congratulatory bullet screen in most other live broadcast rooms, and through this bullet screen, you can directly enter this room, so the popularity will increase.

But whether the attracted visitors can be turned into real fans depends on the ability of the anchor.

"Will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday tomorrow?"

"Will you still miss you who used to cry the most tomorrow?"

Singing "My Deskmate" again, Lu Chen did not have too many emotions.

But this classic folk song from the dream world was transmitted to the computer through the microphone under his singing, and then transmitted to the online audience's expensive or cheap computers, tablets, and mobile phones through the network, and finally restored with the help of speakers and headphones of varying quality.

Still has an irresistible charm!

The originally noisy and lively screen quieted down, and Lu Chen's singing seemed like a gurgling stream, flowing in the small room and into the hearts of many people.

"Who meets you who is sentimental, who comforts you who loves to cry,"

"Who reads the letter I wrote to you, who throws it in the wind"

Halfway through the song, the barrage gradually increased.

"Suddenly I feel like crying, so annoying!"

"There's sand in my eyes"

"Chen Qian, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!!!"

"I remembered my deskmate in high school. I wonder how she is doing now."

"Don't stop me, I will confess to my deskmate tomorrow! Okay, he is also a man."

"I miss the past, I miss the time when I was studying, I also want to cry a little."

"What is the name of this song? It's very nice, I've never heard it before?"

"The song is called My Boyfriend, Ask Suicide Again!"

"My Deskmate, original by the host!"

"..."

If most of the people who brushed the barrage before were funny young people, then the style of painting has suddenly become literary young people.

Whether it is touching, nostalgic, melancholy, or sad, even if it is the first time to listen, it will still touch the soul. This is the charm of music, this is the magic of classics!

There was no innocent whisper, nor an impassioned high note. A song "My Deskmate" was played softly from Lu Chen's fingertips and sung slowly from his mouth, which moved everyone who heard it.

Until the end of the song, countless stars shone!

System prompt: Sweet Baby (Bronze I) gives the host 100 stars!

System prompt: Pineapple 1990 (Black Iron VII) gives the host 100 stars!

System prompt: Crystal Jelly (Bronze II) gives the host 100 stars!

System prompt: Walking around the world with ease (Silver I) gives the host 1 meteor!

System prompt: Iron Fist Invincible (Black Iron III) gives the host 100 stars!

System prompt: ...

Unlike the previous rich people who spammed the screen, the number of viewers who sent out starlight this time increased greatly, and the number of online people has exceeded 1900, and the number of star fans has jumped to 2700+, reaching 2722, which is very close to the 3000 mark!

"Thank you everyone!"

Lu Chen put down the guitar in his arms and said, "Let's stop here today, goodbye."

The barrage of comments flew across the screen, all of which were texts about reluctance, retention, and asking him to sing two more songs.

Some people even sent out a large number of starlight and meteors.

"Thank you!"

Lu Chen was really touched, but he still stood up - he couldn't even not eat, right?

Li Feiyu hurried over, put his palms together, bowed to apologize to the audience, and then closed the live broadcast.

He grabbed Lu Chen's shoulders with one hand, wiped the non-existent tears from his face with the other hand, and said earnestly: "Brother, I will treat you to lunch today, let's go and have a good meal!"
