Chapter 206: Our Own Emperor and a Second-hand Emperor
These small streamers usually don't have any viewers, but during times like this, a lot of rich patrons will shower them with gifts, which is quite strange. Many major streamers will also spare no expense for their fan festival events, all in the hopes of ranking high among the streamers. However, it's very difficult for major streamers without brokerage companies to compete with those who have them.
For example, last year's fan festival, BabyXu, the top DNF streamer with eight million warrior fans, was P'd down by a rotten-toothed streamer, who even did it by sneaking through. At the time, this rotten-toothed streamer was trying to grab attention using this tactic, relying on the drama of conflicting with BabyXu, who was then the top streamer on Douyu, to gain popularity. The means were rather despicable, but you can't control the backing of the corporate groups behind him. These groups have contracts with Douyu, for example, if you sign a ten million deal, Douyu will give you thirty million, even fifty million, or more fish fins.
So ordinary people can't possibly outpace these companies; you spend a thousand, they only need two or three hundred, or even less, how can you compete? Douyu platform also gives them discounts because they give such large orders all at once. It's by taking advantage of this that many brokerage companies on various platforms thrive, and the platforms themselves also profit immensely. Despite many viewers disliking this and it being unfair to other streamers, the platform still won't give up on these brokerage companies, after all, they bring in a lot of profit for them.
"Don't worry, Ming God, we support you!" Emperor [Li Qi Ye].
"Sure, I'll pre-order 200,000. It's not much, but it's my little contribution." Emperor [Eight Prince]
"This month I can come up with 500,000. For MING, we have to make a big push." Emperor [Xinyuan Chiyume]
"Ying ying ying, since you guys are all so enthusiastic, I can't fall behind either. My dad just gave me a credit card with a 1 million overdraft limit, I'll use it all! I'll deal with his scolding later, hehe." Emperor [Lin Ling'er]
These few are also exclusive emperors of Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming now not only has many emperors from other streamers supporting him but also many from his own fan base.
They are all rich people who watch live streams in the [MING] live room and have never gifted any other streamers. After becoming Jiang Siming's fans, they immediately became emperors to show their support.
Many nobles also came forward, indicating how much they would spend, with some saying they would spend tens of thousands, others saying they would spend thousands or even hundreds.
In short, there are a very large number of them.
Jiang Siming's current live room data is extremely terrifying.
Live Room Number: 99999
Level: 100 (maximum level)
Fan Club: 2.01 million+
Online Viewers: 10.01 million+
Noble Members: 2.33 million+
Popularity: 520 million+
...
The fan badges have already increased to 2 million. The second place for fan badges is still Xu Xuobao, but his fan badges are only 800,000, and PDD's are 500,000.
Jiang Siming is almost twice the combined total of both of them.
Seeing so many fans supporting him, Jiang Siming also got excited.
"Okay, let's aim for first place when the time comes, no matter the outcome. But everyone, promise me to act within your means, don't overdo it. I'm afraid you might spend irrationally and go overboard. It doesn't matter how much you give, even if we lose, it's not a big deal. In my live stream, I just want you to be happy, that's enough. Things like fan festivals are all fleeting clouds." Jiang Siming said these words with deep sincerity, warming everyone's hearts.
Compared to other streamers who always shout: "Brothers, go go go, we need just a little more to reach the top, keep brushing, and we are brothers," and other such words that incite fans to send more gifts, many streamers have done this. Compared to Ming God, everyone thought in their hearts: What kind of trash are those streamers!
"Alright, let's start the game, we'll talk about the fan festival the day after tomorrow." Jiang Siming said, sidestepping the topic to start the game. However, the fans did not forget this topic and were still discussing it enthusiastically in the fish bar. One fan casually counted and frighteningly discovered that fans who frequently visit the fish bar were mostly willing to send gifts. Everyone couldn't help but look forward to the fan festival the day after tomorrow, wondering if Ming God could defeat those entertainment companies.
"How about this, let's learn from Tuantuanduan today and draw three water friends to team up. I'll start a lottery, whoever wins gets to join." Jiang Siming rarely chose to bring water friends, usually, he didn't, not because he didn't want to, but because he found them too weak and would lower his ranking (laughing cry). Only a little rookie like Tuantuan would rely on water friends for ranking, he, a big player, could rank up as easily as drinking water.
Hearing there was a chance to team up, everyone was incredibly excited, shouting with enthusiasm. Joking, if you get to play PUBG with Jiang Siming, that means you will enjoy all kinds of streaks, like triple kills, quad kills, it'll be a breeze. Very soon, Jiang Siming initiated the lottery session. Fans didn't need to send any gifts or post any comments; they just needed to tap their fingers, and they would have a chance to be selected.
In no time, the lottery results were out, and the IDs of the three winners were: [Zhuo Jiu Yi Bei], [Wang Zhaojun], [Ji Ni Tai Mei]. "These three water friends, send me your game IDs in a private message," Jiang Siming said.
After he finished speaking, he received countless messages from various accounts, all of which were sent by water friends trying to pass themselves off as winners. Jiang Siming laughed helplessly and said, "Don't play around, or I'll spank you."
His words had no effect; instead, everyone got even more excited. It took him a great deal of effort to find the IDs of the three winners, and Jiang Siming heaved a sigh of relief, adding them in the game. Soon, these three water friends all joined in. The three of them, who had never thought they would win, were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.
As soon as Jiang Siming turned on the in-game microphone, the three of them couldn't stop shouting, "Ming God is awesome! Ming God, I love you!"
"Alright, alright, guys, let's calm down. I have a girlfriend. If you keep shouting like this, people might think I'm gay," Jiang Siming said.
The three of them laughed awkwardly. "Are you all ready? Let's start the game then." Jiang Siming clicked to start, and the three water friends immediately clicked to get ready. It was the first time Jiang Siming had brought water friends along, and it felt very strange. It was like leading three fans; their relationship was close, yet they didn't know each other personally.
The atmosphere entirely depended on Jiang Siming to lead and regulate, which wasn't something he was particularly good at.
"Let's jump here," Jiang Siming said, unable to think of any other topics and choosing a location.
"Okay!"
"Wherever Ming God says, we go there."

"Ming God , I love you, just tell me what to do."
Jiang Siming covered his face, feeling a bit tipsy. The plane took off, and the four people jumped to their previously marked points. Jiang Siming noticed that his friend [Wang Zhaojun] was still on the plane, so he reminded him.
"Wait, Ming God, my roommate knows I'm gaming with you, they're all fighting to take my computer now, damn, why are you guys pulling my pants! That's too much! I haven't even jumped out of the plane yet, wuwu." Wang Zhaojun was being 'raided for his computer' by his roommates in the dorm, crying bitterly. In the end, he overcame his roommates, apparently promising them a big meal, which barely made his brothers let him go.
